*WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE ITEM? LET ME KNOW BELOW!*
\😃/ been waiting all week for your uploads. Great to see to see u all the time!
My favourite thing wasn’t in your video but found on the website you linked, an Astroboy teapot!!
It's actually crazy how many cool things people give away/throw out! One persons junk really is another persons treasure
truly treasure!
Especially the hair dryers, they don't look too old
My brother lives in Sapporo and he found a perfect working condition PSP with games in his apartment recycling room 😳
@@terenceyuen4424 yo that's insane.
I never had a PSP, about the time I thought about investing because I love PlayStation it kind of died out in the US so I backpedalled and got a PS4 instead
Some items also may be from deceased japanese (after cleansing)
The amount of anxiety I experienced when you swiped everything on the floor was insane. Also, lightning spood is my new default speed. 😂
LOL it was actually so bad that I needed to cut the audio from it hahaha
You’re amazing, Norm! Rebuilding the smallest electronics shop to preserve the owner’s legacy, creating and encouraging giveaways to bring people to Japan who have always wanted to visit, helping local businesses expand their reach through comments on your videos. Plus more I’m sure we’re not even aware of! You’re such a positive force for good in the world!
I know, right!? I hope he's still in contact with the shop owner (I forget his name 😢) and can invite him over for a visit. I think that'd be super wholesome!
The pink bubble wrap on that stick of RAM is anti-static packaging! But most of that plastic is kind of a waste... :)
As a professional computer nerd, this was a lot of fun to see, and I'm excited for the shop recreation too! Thanks for sharing your energy.
Not exactly the same thing, but I purchased a joblot of junk art supplies in Japan about a year or two ago and most of what arrived was completely unused - there was a set of gansai tambi paint which had been very lightly used, and a tin of fancy pencils that had been used a little bit, but some of the other materials were completely unopened, and all the rest looked like they'd not been used apart from maybe to test the colours/pigments :D
Japanese junk is literally a roulette, even if it's described as "not working", it still may be like brand new and fully functional 😆
RIGHT?! what's up with that??
There are so many interesting items, some are very worth it and some are not really useful. But the best part of these boxes are the excitement you can get as you are unboxing. You can feel some nostalgia too🥰I enjoyed Norm’s reactions and comments a lot! Thank you for another wonderful video!😆✨
Yuka!! Seems you just released a new video today too eh!!
Ill have to check that one out!! Love Narita airport~
Thanks for always being here for the release of new vids!
man to think that each item holds so many memories like if we were able to hear what these things have to say it would be so beautiful like imagine some used that cd player a long time ago sitting on a window pane looking at the sky and listening to music, I love it.
You are literally doing what I want to do in my life I hope that one day I'll also be able to visit abandoned and beautiful places and I hope that I'll also get a chance to do stuff like caping on a rooftop in the middle of a city
I hope that you can too!!
Absolutely insane that the first item you take out of the box is the exact model of Belken wireless charger that I have sitting on my bedside table and use every night.
These boxes are pretty impressive. That controller at 6:40 is a grip for either a DS or a 3DS, I believe. Pretty handy to avoid cramps when playing long hours on those.
Thanks for this interesting video!
This was fun! The discman brings back happy memories. I travelled across Australia by train with one, from east to west, in the early 2000s. My biggest adventure and how I ended up where I live now. Thank you for the reminder. Looking forward to the videos you have coming, Norm. I bet the shop rebuilt will look amazing! 😊
I'm excited to see all the updates to your studio since we were there. That you're revealing the tiny shop you're rebuilding, that you have more remotes to confuse with Coffee Crisp, and that the Burn Up W record is now on the wall!
This was quite a haul, it's kinda exciting to see what you find in the boxes. 😁
Love these kinds of videos Norm! It gives me ideas of what to load up my suitcase with next time I visit 🤣
Yay a new video! I needed this today!
I love my sakuraco box! I got it after I came home from Japan so I could keep enjoying the amazing snacks!
It's like a mystery box for electronics! Hehehe I love the mini shop you're restocking! It was so cool to get to see it in person!
Much love from Arizona 💜💜
Thanks Norn, was great seeing all devices. It's really surprising how well kept some of them were
Your studio is the stuff dreams are made of, you've blown my mind with the shop corner, genius
Look forward to checking the thrift shop every week for a Goban. Thanks for the update and glad you got some useful items in the boxes.
Just found your channel and already found many places I want to visit so now I have to adjust my plan for my trip this year
The studio is really coming along! I'm looking forward to seeing the small electronics shop set up!
Can't wait to see the recreated shop! its amazing how many amazing things you can find second hand like this. Also as an additional note the edit where it switches to you in the purple hoodie caught my eye and I thoroughly enjoyed it!
Can't wait either!!
Honestly so much fun to work on!!
Thank you for posting the link to the antique shop. I will keep my eye on it, so many goodies!
i knew it!!!! i knew you were going to rebuild that store ❤ absolutly love it
Gosh I love your content!! Thank you!
I think it’s awesome that you’re rebuilding the electronics shop, I can’t wait to see it when it’s complete! Favorite item is a toss up between the Discman and the pink hair dryer, cause sometimes you just need to feel pretty while you’re lip syncing and getting ready in the morning 😂
your videos are just so fun to watch, I usually play videos at x2 speed but for yours I just wanna enjoy them
Another cool "mini" adventure - I agree with the other comments: it is crazy what Japanese throw away considering how good the condition is. I think your shop is gonna turn out well. Good luck putting on the finishing touches.
Can't wait for your upcoming video with Okazaki-san - her perspective is always interesting. Cheers.
Hello from Pasadena California. Always great to see your videos ❤
I love these kinds of videos, all the buying other peoples things videos, you never know what to expect!
🤣 You crack me up Norm. The way you just throw things around and push everything off the table... if anything did work, it probably doesnt anymore.😆🤣
I absolutely love your videos! They alway feels so intimate and make me feel like I'm actually there with you
I love that!! It's 100% the goal! So thank you~
You're an absolute legend mate!!
Love your videos,so keep them coming,ok.
t is so interesting to see what you can get from these kind of boxes. ^^ And i cant wait to see the shop in full glory! this vid truly went by in lightning spuud. XD
Can't wait for the future videos!
Another dose of dopamin from our dear Norm. A lot of charm, charisma and positive energy as always.
Just saw the bit about that store in Japan having an online store now. Omg! I'm gonna get into so much trouble now. Thanks Norm! And I think it's cool you recreated that little tech store. What a sweet memorial.😊
That’s great Norm your recreating the old shop!!!! 🤛🏻
Dude these boxes are awesome. I would try something like that out over here for sure. PS - the office is looking awesome!
I'm intrigued by those Rilakkuma tapes because I love Rilakkuma!! So awesome you got an iPad!!
"Lightning Spood!!" ^_^ Thanks for making me smile this morning!! I loved the walkman from your Patreon video the most. I cannot wait to see your new display!
Dude! What a wonderful homage to that tiny little shop!! I love that.
Also quick question about the record covers you have on display, what musicians did you choose?
That is awesome that second hand shop started an online store. I hope it helps their business out. Mom and Pops stores are the best.
Happy Sunday Norm!❤
I loved that pink Sony mp3 player! I used to want one of those. Those $20 boxes really were something. I hope the IPhone and IPad work! I still have a 2016 IPhone SE that I use as a glorified mp3 player at work. Still works!
The studio is looking SO GOOD!
that was kinda awesome. not sure what it is about unboxing videos, but it feels kinda like opening lootboxes. but irl.
very lightning spood
Well, it seems like you had some decent luck with your adventure boxes. This little gem videos are fun to see, because it's easy to go on the scavenging adventure with you. Thanks for it!
Wow, I've spent the last couple weeks watching your videos and I'm loving Japan! What a beautiful place, and the electronics markets are insane. As an Aussie gamer, I'm totally jealous of the retro and vintage stuff you can find.
I actually gasped, I am so excited to see your recreation of Shimayama-sans shop~
I absolutely love that you do this kind of stuff. You're gonna make me buy a box of junk when I come back to Japan lol.
“Unfortunately Sticky” is my new band name. Loving the retro game posters on the wall!
Mystery boxes can be so addicting, especially once you find some cool stuff! There’s not much worse than random sticky old tech stuff though. 🤢
Thank you for another fun video! 😊
It really is!
I miiiight be buying more lol
@@TokyoLens if you keep finding great things in them I can’t say I blame you! 🤣
I remember when your studio was so bare! I can see how you added parts as you went. Congrats!
I think I used to have that exact Discman portable CD player back in the day 😂. Can't wait to see the videos you make with your tiny shop set-up in the studio 😊
Amazing stuff Norm!
had a blast with this one!
Love this! I can’t believe that all of that is considered junk. I mean some is but most of it is cool. I like the Walkman to be honest. Another great video.
Let's goooooooooooo old junk is always so fun to check out cause there's always something cool 👀
always something amazing~
Recently discovered your channel I love your production style
My favourite item was your sheer joy when opening the boxes
i realy loved the ipad that you found ;o huge find!
That’s so cool that you rebuilt the tiny shop
Great video, as always! Crazy that you can get a mystery tech box with cool stuff in it if you lucky :D
I know!!
I feel very lucky!
Omg I thought i recognized Emiglio! Ahh my childhood :') I want shops to sell those boxes in Italy too!
This was fun. This was a wild ride of nostalgia.
I haven’t seen a Walkman since 2004! Love that Japan doesn’t throw away items, but collects them for later use.
OK, so those boxes would be so much fun, although I used to be in retail, and I totally understand the concept. Always good to wake up to a Norm video!
best
boxes
ever
The I Pad 7. I could use one with wi-fi for school. Also, I like that you named the robot Emilio LOL. Reminds me of a funny friend I had before.
Its always fun watching your videos. I'm just wandering what will you do with the teck you don't want.
What a spoody guy xD
Great video, just don't get addicted to those mystery boxes xD
I had an iPhone like the last one. Served me well from 2013 to 2019
It's the Rilakkuma tapes for meeeee ❤
Yesss, the little electronics shop is being rebuilt
Not gonna lie, the somewhat manic energy of this video caught me severely off guard lol!! Loved it tho! I'm pretty sure I had a discman similar to that one years ago, fun to see one pop up
spood
LETS GOOO NEW TOKYO LENS VIDEO!!
and a fun one at that!!
Thank you for introducing our shop:D
We always enjoy your videos! So did the iPad work?!
Yup!!
i have the red sony walkman mp3 player from the very last box. was an A- series walkman from the early 2010s. i had a line-out cable to a fiio amp. it was my broke-university-student setup for many years.
Lightning spood XD The ipad was probably my favorite, that'd be a neat find at that price!
Not sure why I haven't got you in my feed, been having to watch everything manually, but glad to see you rebuilding the shop. Can't wait to see the finished video. Soon I'll be making my first trip to Japan and the misses has a few places she wants to show me (she was stationed there while in the Navy). It'd be awesome to see you in passing, just to say hi as a fan.
Aaaah, I want that Sony Walkman MP3 player, I love those and have the cable to charge them!!
my dude i LOVE that studio what a good space to hang and be creative big open room i dig it...send that tape to Sharla she likes fancy tape..dude i love the tiny shop rebuild too i remember you going to see that old guy can't wait for that unveiling
"Next section is gonna be both sponsored and delicious" is such a crazy good line, incredible work
Also I know that exact shop, loved going there to explore lol
Great video Norm
"Lightning spood", I love that xD
My Favorite thing is You rebuilding That Guys Akiba Electronic Shop, '' BRILLIANT ". That was a Great Video , was so sad he was going out of business .
Great video. Love the electronic mystery boxes although there does appear to be quite a bit of e-waste and mystery sticky items. 😂
I actually own one of those handheld paper scanners, they're amazing!
From the first box the mask is probably a heated Bluetooth face massager. 😆 I love mine because it helps with migraines and I can listen to podcasts or music at the same time. Cell phones, cables, Switch controller holders, these boxes have been worth every Yen. Continuing to watch to see what else shows up 🎉 💜✌🐦
pretty sure that's exactly hat it was
it was just..... too sticky haha
@@TokyoLens🤣 🤢 😅
That 7th-gen iPad is a big win, those are still supported and run the current OS (even this fall's upcoming OS)
holy crap I was so surprised to see a Touch ID iPad in one of these boxes! These boxes are really cool, though I can only imagine how you'd properly get rid of the things you don't need lol
Gosh what a wild ride, you really never know what you might get in those boxes XD
I stayed in that Apa hotel next door to this store last month while on my Akihabara shopping spree and bought several things at this store :D Loved the place.
About the phone with the pin, just search how to do the reset to factory mode, normally you can hold a combination of buttons to enter in like a bios system and there it is simple to do it
I love your studio. Wish i can have a space like this.
The iPad was kind of a huge find! Did you decide what you're going to do with it yet?
Used goods in Japan are nuts. I got a barely used Zelda TotK-themed OLED Switch when I was in Kita-Kyushu last month and I think I paid less than $220 for it. Perfect condition!
I didn't realize Surugaya had these mystery boxes! Should have snagged one while I was in Japan last time just to see what we'd get!
That's quite the haul!
When I was in Akihabara, I got too much stuff and needed a new suitcase. I will say that suitcase is now my favorite one. Too much tech, not enough time. The plan was Akihabara and Ginza that day, but we never made it to Ginza. Next time though.
hahahaha Chris I LOVE that
