Great video. I agree. Mandarake is incredible. Each floor is massive and full of items/themes. Could spend hours there. A store that I enjoy that you did not mention is Suruga-ya. The used items they sell are always in excellent condition and a lower price. One of my favorites, plus they have many locations. Keep up the great work! Your fan in Las Vegas
I think it depends on the store! So it's always a good idea to look out for the signs! Typically, grocery stores and arcades are not allowed to film for some reason 🤔 Also adult contents are not generally allowed to film.
Sadly... Akiba serves mainly straight cis-men. There's even areas in places like Love Merci that doesn't allow women at all. This is just... ridiculous to me. As for finding gay, male-focused material... pretty much nada except in Mandarake. So if you are a straight woman or a gay man, I highly recommend Nakano Broadway over Akiba.

Thank you for your kind and informative comment!!
And yes! Surugaya is a great one! 🔥
I love TRADER stores. Their interior design is my thing. Lots of nice posters and cozy too.
I didn't know about them but their stores are packed with goods and items! 😳

Which liberty carries gunpla? The hobby one?
Not sure 🤔
If I remember correctly, we saw Gunpla at a few different locations 🤔
What about Hobby Shop Trader
That's a good one too!
Quick question, is filming inside the stores allowed?
I think it depends on the store! So it's always a good idea to look out for the signs!
Typically, grocery stores and arcades are not allowed to film for some reason 🤔
Also adult contents are not generally allowed to film.
@@newrealmjapan ok, thanks 😁
Not a single word about idols T_T
Oops that was a blind spot for us 😬
What Japanese idols are popular where you live?
@@newrealmjapan probably the most popular it's babymetal, because it was trendy among normies. But akb/sakamichi have strong fandom here too.
I see! Yeah I'm not too well versed in the sense but that's a huge aspect of Japanese pop culture that we should look into! Thanks for sharing :)
Super potato should change its name to super overpriced!
We'll make sure to tell them that next time we visit lol
