Pete, how are you so funny, good looking, smart and still have a big forehead?
Ahhhhhh god you had me RIGHT until the damn end!
The forehead is what makes it all possible. Without it he would be destined to fail, alas he will never have to worry about that unless he runs full speed into a wall. Pete for president!
Pete Supremacy 🔥
@@PremierTwo you know what they say, big forehead means big dick energy 🎉 You are an awesome man!
@@PremierTwosixhead
In a city as densely populated as Tokyo, ONLY pete could just randomly run into tons of people he's only ever met once or twice before and remember each and every single one of them.
Pete inspires me to be more socially outgoing!
the atarashi gakko pete lore is so crazy
Least insane Pete lore be like.
6:51 fr? what a gigachad Pete, have all connections in all industries in Japan like a lord in shadow
@@ryana5435 little did he know he's been pulling all the strings in Japan.
Pete is so ridiculously gregarious that it's not surprising that he would know half of the people in Tokyo, but the craft beer moment with Kazu is awesome.
Connor is right, Pete knows so many people and is so friendly with everyone he even knows some famous people.
Pete, how are you so funny, good looking, smart and look don't believe me? Check the comments!
and a big forehead? (joking, new here, i dont think he has that big of a forehead)
Pete was right 😂
omg
As someone who loves Pete's content, but doesn't have all the time to watch the full streams (as much as I'd like to) these edited versions are much appreciated 🎉
hard agree
Same 😊 Love seeing the edits added to them.
I get called a VOD loser on jakenbakes yt vids☹️
Just made it to floor 8, and our boy here ran into 3 people in 7 floors. No need to rub it in our faces Mr Popular we can't all have such a handsome and charismatic forehead
I’ve been a huge fan of Atarashii Gakko for about 3 years now. They all seem like wonderful people in addition to being unbelievable performers and they always seem to attract the right people to be on their side along the way so it’s no surprise that one of them had a teacher like you. As much as I love them, it’s unbelievable how far they’ve come (including being at Coachella right now)
6:51 fr? what a gigachad Pete, have all connections in all industries in Japan like a lord in shadow
The running into so many people you randomly know while out and about? This is peak Midwestern energy. Ope, you can't escape it Pete!
Missed opportunity for calling this segment 'Premier Places' hahah, great video as always Pete! :)
The Craft Beer moment was so damn wholesome
the atarashii gakko lore is insane😭
6:51 fr? what a gigachad Pete, have all connections in all industries in Japan like a lord in shadow
Pete is definitely a main character in a land of NPCs. Most of us have probably never met a celebrity in person, this man taught a member of Atarashii Gakko of all the Japanese students in Japan.
Wait what?! Really?! Does he tell this story anywhere omg
@@nineteenseventyfive6709 he told the story in this video
Wait really?? Is that for real?
@@MisakaMikotoLuvtime stamp?
@@SJ95111 6:45
The fact that you ran into someone you already knew in Tokyo of all places is insane!
That's so cool
mudan finally got his soundbyte to put this video up.
That building was such an amazing experience for me while visiting Tokyo last month. We entered not knowing what to expect and with no prior research.... I had the happiest expression on my face when we entered the Uniqlo store and found the MGS Collection. I almost bought a toilet bidet that day from Yodobashi, luckly my friend was there to stop me from doing that. (I wanted to bring a bidet back home so baad). Thank you for reviving those memories :)
My favorite quality of Pete is he is so charming and friendly with everyone and will just have such wholesome interactions with so many people
The chapstick popping out onto the table had me dying
That's amazing you taught one of the Atarashi girls!
ive always watched connor and chris, but never really watched pete but he is just on another level on social skills, he knows basically everyone AND remembers where when why. not gonna lie, also i love aratashii gakko lol
Top Tier Editing Makes Pete Shine
Very Noice
Pete, how are you the single most entertaining person on this platform?
This is awesome! I was just in Japan the last couple of weeks, and this is almost exactly how I spent my day in Akihabara. Killer recs. I also met Kazu. He was very nice
Pete, thank you so much for making this series. I just booked my first trip to Japan and will be using these videos for reference.
This is perfect timing, I'm going back to Japan in a month and I'm staying in Akihabara. When I went to Japan in 2019 we went to the original Yodocha camera building, 5 floors of camera gear. I remember seeing a roped off section beyond the Hasselblad section. It was very much a "If you have to ask you can't afford it section."
Those wall unit AC/heat things are legit as hell. My house is over a century old and thus doesn't have space in the walls for ducting so when I had to replace the existing heating, I had those things put in and they're amazing. Sure central air would be more convenient, but when it's not an option...
Man I love this video. I have some really good memories of akiba HEY. I went and challenged a certain chiptune artist on twitter over this cult versus shmup called twinkle star sprites. We decided to meet up and play at HEY for fun once I visited Tokyo. We played it a bunch, I lost 95% of the rounds, but it was a good time. You can find EVERYTHING in Akiba HEY, if it's old school and has a cult following it's gonna be there for you to play in all its glory. I must've went there 3 or 4 times over my trip.
I love watching your casual vids Pete. They make me really comfortable and make me smile.
The other Monster Manual was called Fiend Folio. If you can find a first edition watch your wallet. Some seriously badass beasts too.
This is such a great walkthrough for the city. It's nice to have a non-ADHD format video. Great job Pete and Editor!
Ahhh man!! I've been to Akiba before and haven't had the chance to go back to Japan for years. Pete is a real one for doing this tour so well. +20 CHA
great video from your IRL stream ❤ which I actually saw live 😊 very funny summary 🎉 thanks for showing you meeting Yoshimyan, she is also a great Streamer 🥰
I love how during the golf part someone in chat said "Is Pete happy gilmoring us?" LMAO
Here we see another example of that mane and tail putting in work!
Ah man I want those Metal gear shirts so bad! Really enjoyed you showing us around Akihabara. If I'm lucky enough to get to Japan one day I will definitely check it out.
I LOVE content like this. I know its probably a pain to do but its still the stuff i enjoy the most, so the effort definitely pays off :)
I watched PP Love... then after a shower I watched the whole of PPL ep1 VOD. Enjoyed it so much I also watch this rePete. Can't wait for the next episode... of PP Love!
Hope you don't mind I speedrunned this speedrun at 1.5x. Now I'm knackered but it gives me more time to watch it again!
Pete, you rascal, you did it again. Another amazing video. Shoutouts to the editor.
When Pete said “alright Akira” lol
Man your way of speech is off the charts. You have an incredible vocaabulary making thins sound epic with the way you deliver your lines. You have an outstanding charisma!!! You can rally up and hype the people like in the recent end of cyclathon 3. I swear with just your speech alone i would go to battle and die for your glory!
lol it’s that impressive to you interesting
The UDX plaza is nice. Several nice restaurants on the higher floors, can sit outside and watch the trains pass, public parking under the building, and it's right around the corner from Yodobashi. I also agree with Pete, beware Yodobashi, it's easy to spend all of your money there! I don't travel into Tokyo too often, maybe once per month, but this is one of my favorite areas there that I've been to.
I love how pete fills me up with quality content 😂😂
6:51 fr? what a gigachad Pete, have all connections in all industries in Japan like a lord in shadow
So cool. Nice seeing Pete meet people he knows and seeing stores I wish we had here.
man was absolutely FLABERGASTED that he just ninja'ed his lip balm XD
I've been to that British pub 2 days ago and now saw that video. How fun is that. Will head to the bar in yodobashi camera, Kazu seems so nice!
Thanks for the nice video.
Love to see the representation for Hey! The staff there is always so nice to me when I'm having bad luck on the crane games.
Super Potato is also so overrun with tourists now, unfortunately the shop was very empty on cool stuff when I went. Glad they got the retro machines though
Pete's the one guy you'd always love to have around. He's an awesome dude! Please stay safe always Pete :)
I'm going to Japan next week and this is going to be an absolute must on my adventure around Japan!
Love the editing and professional looking quality as always Pete. Great video!
“they’ve got price tags on her bazingas” sobbing
Pete I’m sure you get this a lot but you inspire me so much with your social attractiveness. It feels like people just gravitate towards you and you just happen to crash into friends and new people to be friends with all the time. It’s so cool
Commenting to tell the algorithm gods that pete's content is good and I like it
That's so cool that you taught one of Atarashii Gakko! !!
You make an awesome tour guide Pete. THANKS!
Good video pete. Nice to see even before watching these videos or getting into JP based youtubers that all the spots I think are good and worth a visit often line up.
13:10 Was at this exact spot in 2018 taking pictures in the rain 🥹 wow what a throwback 🩷
Thanks for taking us around Akiba 🫶🏻
I stayed literally a 1 minute walk from the Square Enix cafe and Akiba station, and ate/drank at that Craft Beer place after doing the batting cages on the roof when I was in Tokyo in July! Holy crap! This brought back so many good memories with friends!
That’s awesome to hear
I clicked at a random place in the video. I happen to click 6:15 this is my first impression I've gotten from you on your actual youtube channel. Great content
I don't normally comment. But when I do. It's for legend that is Pete!
Thank you for giving a tour of Akihabara! I'm heading to Tokyo in two weeks and this will help me!!!
Just got back from japan. Your taste is truly premier. Thank you.
With all the nuisance streamers in Japan, you are the beacon of hope, decency and friendliness for „gaijin“ streamers.
Thank you for being such a chad and showing Japan how nice many of us gaijin are!
Perfect timing. Heading back for my third trip in 2 weeks and needed some places I hadn't been before.
A topic I'm having a hard time getting answers to is finding affordable housing for gaijin. I'm considering taking advantage of the digital nomad visa but finding housing is hard because I know the listed price is often for japanese people and gaijin will often have to pay 3-4x the price.
Sharehouses unless you know people 🤷♂️ it's that or pay the fees which for a short amount of time tend to feel like a lot, and that's if you can get anybody to rent you an apartment for only six months or one year on what is essentially a temporary visa. This is of course actually a lot easier outside of Tokyo...
While sharehouses can be an issue for work from home there are actually plenty of shared office spaces and similar work cafes to get around this.
Sharehouse rent in Tokyo for me at least is cheaper than renting a room in my own home country which I consider absurdly cheap given its a massive city like Tokyo.
@@JTGX266ty, but sadly shared houses or offices is not an option for me given the nature of my work (i handle confidential information)
@The_Lone_Aesir then again you are likely to be spending large fees just to get an apartment. The rent itself won't be too high even for a short term let but the fees are normally absurd. And again it'll be tough to find somewhere. Mudan went over this himself in a few videos and he had plenty of help to find a place. Again I'd recommend maybe considering and looking into a less busy city or area of Japan than Tokyo. You'll get much better deals and will have a far more unique experience. Sometimes liking or wanting to live in the Tokyo area feels like a curse. My rent would've been less than half in Kyoto for example, but my entire life feels like it is in Tokyo now so I'm stuck. 😂
@JTGX266 oh for sure. I have zero intention of staying in tokyo. So long I'm at least a 45 min train ride from yokosuka I'm fine which does open up better pricing.
Pete is so knowledgeable of cool nerd stuff, I'd love to explore Akihabara and have a beer with him!
19:00 used to be my mtg store growing up, many many memories. was just a bunch of crappy folding table at the time, yellow submarine came a long way.
I love Pete and his energy. Inwant to be like this at 40. Thanks Pete for the amazing footage. 👏 just been to Akihabara last week... could not find any Gojo figurine so i literally gasp and crawled the screen when i saw that Gojo figure. Guess i didnt look hard enough. 😅😅😅 time to go back again i guess.
This was super entertaining. I need to catch one of your streams.
I'm convinced Pete just knows everyone in Tokyo
Loved seeing you walk past the cabinet in Rashinbang where I bought my best friend's birthday gift. I love Akihabara.
This was so fun! A big fan of yours from Minnesota.
Love you Pete for using the crappy background music from Eroge! H mo Game mo Kaihatsu Zanmai. Made my day!
yoooo wait this video is actually so good
Pete legitimately motivates me to go out there and be more confident
I realized I wasn't subscribed to you but have been skulking your channel and so I finally rectified that 😂.
Places Pete Loves is a corner of the internet that i love
Love the random happenstance that was Yoshimyan! I love Yoshimi! She is so so cute! I love chilling in her streams. I didnt know you two were friends/knew eachother!!
Love this video. Super jealous how easily you make friends, tho.
Thanks for pointing out the side-street GoGo that wasn't as busy... I will check that out when I am in Akihabara!
Pete teaching one of the atarashii gakkou girls is crazy lore
Went to Akihabara yesterday, surprised at how many places go from anime, toku, figures to spicy stuff
wow. thanx Pete .seems you cherry picked one of my all time favourite areas in Tokyo. been to most places you mentioned or went into. and also the rated adult shop that i went into by mistake but left in a Hurry. LOL.maybe add just one. the spyshop. (For petes sake)That was truly awesome . so thanx Pete for bringing back the sweet sweet memories of Akiba.
My wife and I are having our honeymoon and 10/yr anniversary in Osaka and Tokyo for 3 weeks next year. Thanks for the recommendations!
thank you king!
This is such a good video. Last time I went to akiba I missed out on a lot of these cool places. I'll definitely check them out next time
First video I've watched on this channel. Watched the whole thing in one sitting
pete why are you such a local legend
Great video, Pete! We love watching your channel!
I think I've been to that electronics store when I visited Japan 14 years ago. Man do I feel old and miss it.
I spent 3 whole days in Akihabara and except for Super Potato and Radiokaikan, I didn’t know any of the places Pete went to. Just shows how big this place is!
Moses kebab is top notch for a quick bite. no lines and great kebab. dude is legit awesome. he's been blasting 2pac outside his place for like 10 yrs now. he started as a cart the slowly took over a whole building. super cool guy too and loves talking to everyone
I visited one of the Hub pubs in Kyoto (about a 5 minute walk from kichi kichi omurice) and as an Irishman, naturally, I had to try the Guinness. There's an age old saying that 'Guinness doesn't travel', meaning that it will never taste as good as a pint in Ireland. However, I was pleasantly surprised. The dude serving me knew exactly how to do the 'Two Part Pour' that Guinness is famous for. Had the signature dome on top too!
The presentation was was looking good, but I've always known that looks can be deceiving, especially with Guinness. I took 3 and a half good gulps and set it down on the table. 7.5/10. Drinkable and enjoyable. I've actually had worse tasting Guinness on Irish shores.
So by that logic, Guinness does indeed travel well to Japan :D
Atarashii gakko has recently been gaining a lot of attention. That’s so cool that you got to be her teacher.
Pete, it was the Fiend Folio! not the Foe Folio!
Love the contents! Never tried that Craft beer tab in Yodobashi before.
Anyway, I hope you have already found it, the Yellow Submarine RPG shop has moved to a bigger place next to the Yakiniku-like (the building that has Family mart at 1st floor).
Also, the Hub on the right-hand used to be full-blown smoking area. They changed it after the new law introduced in 2020. Now both sides are kind of the same.
24:58 franky looking kinda different😂😂😂
pete casually droping that he meet some member of atarashii gakko....and im like WAIT PETE..
Thank you for providing me with this video. It helps fill the emptiness in my heart until I can return to Japan.
big fan of this series. petes perticular places
