BEHIND THE SCENES: Lost 40% of the footage on this one and totally had to make do!
I think it turned out ok though~ | (Also, Sherry got this memory card amzn.to/2u9Ooh0)
oh.. AND, Sherry and I did a live-stream that night! ua-cam.com/video/CCdYePBNZvw/v-deo.html
You did a great job hiding that you lost footage. Will hard drives and SD cards work on western computers too? Wasn’t sure if they did some sort of stupid region locking on them or not.
Amigo, nice show! Tell me whats the est place tu buy a camara???
CARLOS A SOSA here you are! ua-cam.com/video/r2qkEOa5cak/v-deo.html
Thank you for showing around secret places and helping me with the purchase❤️ It was fun walking around and I saved a lot of money😝
Super Awesome to have you here!!
I feel some more adventure coming on!!
PS: That live stream was pretty fun too!
Tokyo Lens Yeah we gotta do that again!!!
It’s always fun to see you two together ! The live stream was fun and hoping more comes !
Akihabara is seriously like a wonderland. Everywhere you look seems to hold a little adventure. And then you think about places like asakusa, which is also amazing but in a totally different way than akihabara. And that’s just Tokyo. I cant imagine getting bored in Japan 😆❤️ such a variety.
I don't believe I will ever get let down when I watch this channel. it always leaves me so full. Thank you again
Those are my favorite spots to hit up when in Tokyo whenever I need a memory card, power bank or random computer cables I might of forgotten to take with me on my trips. Great deals. Also, I like how I can find retro computer parts there as well. Parts dating back to the 90's for PCs.
the way you edit your videos makes it such a delight to watch them. a feast for the eyes!
Thank you~
my phone charger broke, I guess ill go to arkihabara to buy some usb-c. Always wanted to go, now I have a reason to.
Amazing to see how far Norm has come with video creation. This was only 4 years ago but you can definitely see a huge change in quality between this and his newer videos. Keep up the awesome stuff Norm, you're killing it!
yeah right!
Ahhhh man, i wish this was up when I was in Akihabara a month ago! And i totally recognized the area! Can't wait to go back and shop there!
Thanks for bringing back good memories of the backstreets of Akiba!
I could get lost in those back streets and never get bored 😂
The music gives this video a platform game feel and I really dig it.
Hitting the back streets works for cheaper food as well. I love the back streets in Japan ❤
During my first year of Japan, maybe the first 6 months, I HAVE to visit Akihabara, it just needs to happen, looking forward to applying to the JET programme for next year, so excited.
its definitely worth it!@
Oh this is great info Norm! I was that tourist that bought a memory card from the Yodobashi!! I remember thinking it was expensive, but just put it down to differing prices in different countries. Thanks to you I won't be making that mistake again! :)
He makes me excited for the worst day of the week lol ❤
Tokyo tuesday on an actual tuesday of mine. Feels good man.
you're a huge inspiration for my UA-cam journey! When I saw that you lost 40% of the footage i was like there's no way! the video is so flawless!
Well done. I wish I’d spent more time in the back streets of Akihabara when I visited Japan.
There’s always next time.
When I hit Tokyo in July ... I am definitely going into the back streets. Thanks for the tip
I have completely fallen in love with your channel, thank you! XD
A guide i will never be able to use? yes! worth my time due to its entertainment value? YES!
more videos in shops, also... what about offbrand/fake memory cards? shouldnt that be a worry
I loved Akiba, so much fun, electronics overload
Hi Norm 🙂 at the Takadanobaba station once you exit there should be in a mid high building at the last floor one of the best shops in Tokyo, having good prices and good merchandise. When I have been there, eons ago, that shop was Tsukumo.
Tokyo Lens with the pro gamer moves
Tsukumo has great prices for peripherals.
Logicool G403
Amazon 6500yen*
Tsukumo 4500yen
Tnx bro for the tip. 👌👍More shows about gadgets.
I can't belive thst the video has been posted 3 minutes ago and is 10 monutes long and there are comments already. How did you watch the video so fast, do you time travel? Bye I'm going to watch it hahaha
I man, I missed you guys by a few hours xD I was in Akihabara the same day (I recognize some the staff and girls handing out flyers)
Watched ✈🎌
i've been chatting to my japanese language exchange friend in sendai. we have decided to do tuesday chats, because when we leave it to chance we miss opportunities to chat. we always laugh and we always have a lovely time speaking and sharing messaged and pictures from our own counties and lives.
Loving your vids. Thank you
Holy cow!! I nearly had a heart attack when you said the price of the memory card. I work in the electronics department at my local Walmart and as soon as you said that price I said no!!! You can get an extreme pro 64gb SD card for around 40 dollars! It's amazing the pricing differences!
Now I’m curious abt the price difference for the HDD hahaha
I never needed to buy any electronics when I’m there so my focus was always anime shops in those areas. Great video though!
At PC Richards I have negotiated and actual had the price reduce. Shop around, get brand names, prices. Now you have the item you want, and have shopped around.
Check where these Memory Cards are made, warranty if defective. Find out return policies and exchange. Be careful folks. Research any complaints or returns. 💕
Another fun video to watch.
Like these tech store vlogs.
Such a big difference in price! thanks for sharing
My pleasure mate!
Akiba it's really a tech paradise! Appreciate this video Norm, it's good to know where to buy tech in that place, from other videos I saw Japan is super expensive compare to Costa Rica, but it has so much variety! I saw in another video from your channel that foreign have tax free shopping, which is very good! :D
You Just Keep Given Us Awesome Vlogs! Thanks 👍🏼
I've now got my mind set on going to japan one day, maybe even visiting Norm. one of these days...
I missed a few episodes! So I'm here now. I'd love to learn about how to shop for camera mics.... i might dive into that, since as a VO, I'd always want my audio to sound as close to broadcast quality. You always make me wanna go around my own town to see if there's little shops like this, but I don't really have a favorite.
More tours, please. :) I love window shopping vicariously via vlog. Great video, Norm.
That is nuts I thought Yodobashi Camera would be cheaper with the volume and locations they have all over Japan. I hope you explore more of Akihabara back streets. I found a custom bamboo curtain shop in Akihabara, spent 20 mins watching them cut and bind traditional curtains.
That's a lot of money saved, really nice video Norm thanks :)
That is a crazy price difference. Will definitely keep this tip in mind!
Does it still hold up i know this is an old video about to go to Japan
That pricing is insane! From one real man to another. Take one to wear pink. I like that color a random times... it catches people eye, but with Sherry around... It hatd to figure out where to go first. Pink shirt... nice smile... I'M SO TORN! Good insite, thanks for the tip.
Love your channel
If I do indeed go to Tokyo in August cheapo SD card shop will be on my list. Hopefully they also sell cheap Xqd cards.
i found 64gb scandisk on Amazon for 18 bucks. Heavily over price is an understatement
What up Norm !
WOW ! I was expecting cheaper prices but not the same card (Extreme Pro) but 4x the size , I’ll save a couple hundred yen AND get a way bigger card ! Thanks for the hidden spots Norm !!! 💜
My pleasure! Those Yodobashi prices can be crazy!
Good luck on your competition!!! Had a great time in Akihabara when i was there. Hubby went to Super Potato and to geek out for like an hour, he was grinning ear to ear when he came out.
Thanks so much~! and Super Potato is spectacular!
I actually got a really cool One Piece lucky bag from a store in Akihabara and I did good,was loaded with goodies.
Great video as always .
I know where I’m going for more memory cards the next time I’m in Tokyo. You can never have too many :)
You make Tuesday's awesome!! Thank you for being such a breath of fresh air and a wonderful human! ❤️❤️
Janea Lowe Lol he makes my Monday’s better since living in Hawaii I’m 19 hours behind Norm in Japan
nason malczon I am in California so it's Monday for me to lol just don't know what day it is 😂
Lol thank you
Tueday Morning in Tokyo is always a good time for me too (^-^)
Fantastic Deals and Where to Find them.
Akiba! Back street shops usually always the way to go! Explore and search all options before purchasing in Akiba 👍 Good vlog Norm!
Spot-on Drew! Thanks for always being here!
Not electronics but I've found Yanaka Ginza is great for buying good traditional souvenirs.
Thought so too,found some great stuff there.
like this video man, sept 23 will try to find this rute .... this is my must find place man ....
That's really cool. I like seeing all the secret places.
Awesome video! Thank you for the tipps!
Great tips on saving some money when shopping! Even a few bucks/yen here and there can really add up and not a lot of your tips (like the haggling at Yodobashi Camera) would be known by those outside Japan.
This is awesome Norm! This is handy for my upcoming trip in December 😊😊😍
Ohhh just as i was thinking about Sherry she appears! Love your style as always ^^
im rewatching this because it has good tips, but dang, yodobashi is charging around 10-20x as much for the same card that i just bought from amazon
I'm missing Tokyo again already!!
This was super helpful!!! My boyfriend and I are going to Tokyo in August and we’re planning on getting a variety of electronics so a BIG thank you for this video 😁👍🏻
You’re very welcome!
Good work as always, Norm!
Thanks, Zach!
That's such a big difference in price! 😯 it's really worth knowing about places like these
@8:48 ¥3200=$29.00 Way Way Cheeper Then The Big Store!
Wow, this would have been so useful last month when I was in Japan! Still good to know, though!
Good luck on your competitions!! Now if only the price of a plane ticket didn't negate the cheaper electronics...... 笑
Now I know where to go.... when I move here!
Thanks Norm ... awesome again!
Do more Akihabara, please.!!
It'll take me a whileee to get used to Japan and take advantage of all the tips and tricks😂
We need more videos like this
Thanks Norm. I know where I am heading when back in Tokyo this autumn.
Thank you! Really enjoyed this one!!
It’s sad that now a lot of that stuff is Chinese. Once upon a time most of it was churned out in Japan itself.
23% watched and liked. No ads skipped.
Yayyyy another akihabara videooooo :)
AndrewFilby I want to go one day
tgp15 I went last year. It was amazing. And I recommend it lol
I wonder if this advice still checks out and whether these places still exist, guess I'll find out in August when I visit!
omg those memory cards are insanely expensive... few bucks short to a shinkansen ticket price.
right!? lol now that you mention it... lol thats a reappy good way of putting it!
Nice tips on electronics
Thanks for that!
Wow good to know for when I got there in a month!
Can’t wait to see you man!
hoping to get back to japan before the end of the year
Holy shit its captain Amerika
but to seriously get cheaper electronics accessories like memory card, SSD, really should consider taobao from China. You can search for it using English, NO mandarin/Chinese required. Because whatever that memory card, SSD card in Japan, i believe it's manufactured in China
Yobodashi = They have a network tester for 30 bucks, the same one I can get at Microcenter for 6 bucks
another great video, thanks for your insight into the most fascinating place on Earth, imo ;) Always reminds me of Shenmue, Yakuza or Tokyo Xanadu EX :D
Don Raggo if you want to be reminded of Shenmue watch my video I made the other day on Dobuita Street where Shenmue is set.
I love Yodobashi but those prices are crazy. The same card is listed on Amazon for $20. I could buy one and send it to her in an envelope for about $22 total.
like your vlogs and I hope to see more and more, I have been in Japan 6 times and I will visit it in November hope to see you there
Hope to see you!
Fingers crossed!
will be taking your advice in July. Thanks.
Kameenie Sara I’m also going in July :’)
Getting a good value memory card would be the only reason I'd ever want to go back to Akihabara again (although I did have a nice okinomyaki there once😆). Also curious to see Sherry's vlogs for her visit. Will it be Norm thats then in the background nearly always being left behind as she strides ahead and when he catches up she waves her arms in front of his face? 😂😜
Thanks for the tip man..aaaannnndd subscribe. I just moved here 6 months ago. Your video helped me.
Love you Tokyo lens
I don't support Amazon either. But if I can get a memory card at that much of a discount, I'm in.
And those are legit and authentic? Excited to visit the place if it’s a yes!
Yes
I feel like I’m going to be spending a LOT of time in Akihabara… 💸💸💸
Norm, it finally hit me today. Brad Pitt, 12 Monkeys. That's the style you have. I kept wondering for the longest time where have I seen that style before, especially with your hand and finger gestures. Did anyone else mention that? Nice video, BTW.
SD cards, yes, just like you said, too much over priced..... way too much.....
yea lol ~ way too much
cheap yes. but watch out for fake ones. They may look and feel like real ones, but when you are buying off street shops, you are running out of options to get a refund if they are fakes.
It helped me a lot! I went there today, thank u so much!
