- With the Pokémon market going crazy in the West, will the Japanese market start to pick up again? Will more people buy Japanese cards and booster boxes due to English product shortages and exploding prices? Join me on a chill early morning walk as I share my thoughts while showing you some Japanese Pokemon card stores in Ikebukuro, Tokyo.
Thank you so much for watching, I hope you enjoy the video. Don't forget to leave a thumbs up and a comment. Thank you so much!

I came across this channel by chance, and combining walks through Tokyo with discussions about Pokémon cards is an amazing mix!
Thank you! I like making them too. Something a little different.
Love your videos man, that early morning vibe is just awesome. I love strolling around Ikebukuro and hitting all the stores but sometimes it can get awfully crowded, so seeing it in that peaceful morning hours definitely hits different :)
Thanks! Yeah, it's a different vibe for sure
I think when there’s a boom in English, Japanese is soon to follow. Especially with new collectors, once they feel/see the quality, they’ll want to collect and buy. I think the Japanese Pokémon economy is healthier than English and it’s more fun to collect.
Will be interesting to see what happens. Thanks for watching!
nah we are heading for a real recession soon. Japanese economy is also in shambles.
Japan looks very nice and peaceful during the early hours of the morning!
It does, doesn't it! And that's Ikebukuro, not a place you'd think can be very peaceful. Most places are even more peaceful haha
Enjoy these ibex, the walking to talking all of it ❤
Thanks man, appreciate it!
Hey nice video! I am going to Tokyo soon, can you maybe share one or two good stores to visit when looking for many modern cards?
Thanks for watching! I mean, the stores I show in this video are a good start
Love this!
Thank you so much!
Mail days + walk and talks = gold
What camera are you using?
Mail days are always the best days! It's the DJI Osmo Pocket 3. Super happy with it.
Great video esp having a few of Tokyo early morning. Need some advice please -- is there anywhere in Tokyo where I can purchase vintage English booster boxes?
Thank you! Vintage English booster boxes? Not reliably, no. Sometimes, you see them listed online on sites like Cardrush, but this is not the norm.
❤ Japan
10k vending machine is the only way! do it...
please
xoxo
I can't.... I just can't throw away my money like that lol
Funny Argument from an "Investor": Don't buy when you get the investment for cheap! 😂
We all know Japanese cards will rise - maybe in 1 year, maybe in 2, maybe in 5 - but they will rise, like they always do.
The only odd thing I see at the moment is the lack in paper quality, which makes me sad.
Wonder if the Trump Tariffs will affect the Japanese market.
Japanese will be getting poor
@@Alan-lq7fg Please explain.
14:00 even the Japanese hate their own product!!! Japanese cards are dead!! 😂
That was too good... haha
Japanese Cards lost value during reprint in a given set. It destroyed Pokémon 151, V star Universe , The Pokémon Prismatic Evolution Pre Sale is over MSRP Compared to the Japanese Tersatel festival with the same Characters. Every Japanese set is below market price from last year We see demand for English card vs Japanese card
Thanks for commenting! Cards in any language lose value when their sets are reprinted. 151 and VSTAR Universe are doing fine despite heavy reprints. Not every Japanese set is below retail. But all of this wasn't really the point of the video anyway. This was about whether the English hype would affect Japanese products. Still, thanks for tuning in and taking the time to write something.
For now
Thanks for the video! Tried to reach out to you on instagram but sadly you did not answer. I also figured out, that the discord link in the video discription is out of date. you have to generate a new invite link from time to time FYI! would love to join the discord
Thanks for watching and commenting! I don't check Instagram often, but I just sent you a reply. As for the discord, I've put it on ice for now. Will update the links if I decide to bring it back.
Thanks for clarifying! 💯🫡Alex really doesnt know Japanese😅 Free bulk! Ive seen it all😂
Haha, maybe I should have clarified more. He was speaking from the investor's perspective. I spoke from the average collector's perspective, concerned about the hobby's long-term health.
That free bulk killed me.... lol
