It’s because most Japanese pride themselves in perfection and quality for customers when you come to the store The U.S. no offense lacks customer service when it comes to older electronics when they are sold in thrift stores or Pawn Shops.
Thrift shop videos are always a delight 😂 I have to say, as someone who's been in charge of production design on a few different short films... the junk level looks like heaven. You could outfit an entire scene of great props for like, $50!! Anyway I'll keep watching 😂
I wish op shops where I live are this interesting. The closest we have would be pawn shops. And even then everything is so over priced. Please never stop geeking out over toys. Just cause you're no longer a child, doesn't mean you have to stop loving the things you enjoyed as a child.
I can't wait to go there again I remember passing this shop in 2018 when I went to Japan for the first time cant wait to go in May this year. I only went to Mandarake Japan
Love these thrift store videos. Love them because of the amazing finds and the cheap prices. It makes me wish I can to visit the provinces instead of staying in Tokyo. But sadly, I can't at the moment, hopefully someday soon.
You get my heart going every time you get to the instruments. My eyes start searching for the ukes. Still working on the place to buy one when I get to Japan this fall.
I swear dude. The more times you do these it is an automatic watch so cool seeing what Japan is recycling out with these shops. Your audio is also very chill and nice to listen to. Keep it up!
Never stop nerding out! I think when you are perusing the toy levels of these thrift stores is when I watch the hardest 😅. Always looking out for my particular favourites! Love love love these thrift shop videos.
Compared to Thrift shops state side, its always impressed me by how clean and well taken care of all the things on sale could be, especially the musical equipment and instruments!
NEVER apologize for nerding out over toys, especially in Japan. Can never spend too much time on toys. I want to see every single one! I LOOOOOVE toys and collect them like crazy so seeing this makes my heart happy.
hello I'm from Australia found this on my you tube page so decided to watch it. I love Thrift stores & I just subscribed to your channel so many things to see wow
I think these thrift shop videos are my favorite on the channel XD It's super interesting to see just how many things and variety of things japanese shops have. Here in America where i am, most the thrift shops are like 80% clothes, 10% books and 10% questionable electronics that may or may not work. But in japan theres tons of musical instruments, working high quality tech, tons and tons of retro games and systems, and dont even get me started on the anime merch! Its just amazing to see!
Visiting a Japanese thrift store is definitely on my "Things to do in Japan" bucket list. Feels like I could find some really amazing treasures that I otherwise couldn't find here in the US
@@R0LL1NGAGAIN My bucket list for just a visit is mostly just going to see some of the big stuff. Fox Village, Shimanami Kaido biking, maybe see if I could find a festival, explore some Tokyo backstreets, etc. Also going to Numazu for Love Live! Sunshine! things. But there's a ton I'd love to do if I could stay longer
Your thrift store videos have me enthralled. I love how organized the stores seem. Your walk through a are fun, cause I feel like I'm walking through also
24:14 Those toys are based around famous live action héroes from different Tokusatsu shows there, like Kamen Rider, Súper Sentai (original Power Rangers), Ultraman, etc.
I completely agree that adults should be nerding out over toys. I do love watching your random shop tours around Japan. Nice to see all the random treasures you can find and the amazing condition they are compared to here in the UK
It's amazing to see the variety and the age of the items in these shops, specially the good conditions that they are usually in. When I watch these videos it always makes me want to go there and buy a bunch of stuff 😅
I love Book Off/Hard Off etc. I bought so much anime merch there when I was in Japan! My favourite was checking the movies and looking at the Japanese titles and how they translated it :D
I find the thrift shop video are so interesting and the video games are insanely priced as someone who wants to collect gameboy advance and gamecube consoles and games it fills me with joy
@@TokyoLens I haven't gotten all the parts yet, I will most likely complete it by the end of the month. I had to buy parts because my laptop died so I'm without a PC and cant work on my stuff.
It's crazy to see how much respect the items in this thrift shop are given by the store, in the us sometimes you're lucky if they even wipe down items before they're sold. Not to mention the glorious labels that tell you what's wrong with the junk items 🤤
It's surprising to see that even the "junk" section is maintained relatively tidy & clean. Places like these are rare in my country & are usually very small and run-down
So since a few days watching your videos bekame a habbit for me after i finished lerning japanese with a friend. Were really close to reach our first goal A1. With now almost over 70h of work put in lerning japanese your videos are a reason to keep me motivated. And not cut of my continuity. Thank's
2:38 This was used for the Pokemon Stadium games. You could insert your Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow (+Gold/Silver/Crystal for the sequel) cartridges and use them to battle in the game via the N64 Controller. There was also a player (Game Boy Tower) so you can play your Pokemon game from your N64. It was really neat at the time. Thanks for sharing your experience in this store. I really hope to visit it soon the next time I can visit Japan when individual tourism is permitted.
I always love thrift stores. Like Goodwill here in the states. I get my love for them from my grandmother. I never go in though for fear of spending too much money. Good luck as always Norm.
It’s crazy that I been watching your videos for a while now, I just came to Japan, and went to that store last week, and seeing you there it makes me feel so happy 😂😂 as if we met
YES! Thank you SO much for uploading! I absolutely love these types of videos. Hope you have a great day! ~ Much love! Hope to see more thrifting in the future!!! Take care!
I've been the same shop when I last travelled to Japan. Cool stuffs, I didn't bought anything but a lot of games and consoles are really temptng to buy.
I was just binge watching your old videos about thrift stores and you just uploaded a new one! You're the gift that keeps on giving! Love your videos Norm keep up the great work!
Oooo the "junk" level would be a great place to get things to take apart for an art project! My friend made a flower out of old earbud pieces, there's so much you could make from all that stuff!!
Never stop nerding out over toys Norm. I wish Canada had second hand shops like this, it’s either places worse than the junk floor, or pawn shops that have limited selections and are very expensive.
Always a treat seeing what one would find in a thrift store outside of my home-country, it just gives some perspective, to say the least! Add to that your ever so joyous enthusiasm for everything you see, makes the adventure so much more enjoayble for an onlooker! (Also, in all honesty, I might have a secret bucket-list, with one check-box being to actually nerd out about NERF/Dart blasters in general with you, seeing as I'm a big blaster nerd too)
It never ceases to amaze me how freakin' orderly and clean these stores look, despite the insane amount of stock. Most of the high-end stores here in the US look like a bomb went off at any given time.
It has been my dream, ever since I was a little kid to get to even visit Japan let alone live there you are so lucky!!! I am 36 years old and geek out over anything tamagotchi, Nintendo, video games in general, everything Sanrio/San-x/Pokémon I love it all I would probably be trying to camp out in that 3rd level of the store omg!!!! ❤ ❤❤
What a treasure trove for all things retro..Delightful..😄😄 As some one who's into 70's to 90's era stuff this is what I crave so thanks a bunch.. Also busted my guitar recently.. so the guitars look tempting.. So envious lol...
20:00 That's "Ultimate DaiBouken" ('Ultimate Great Adventure') from Boukenger (or "GoGo Sentai BOUKENGER", meaning 'Thundering/Revving Battle-Team Adventure-Ranger/s'). With that robo your looking at (made of ten vehicles) you can make: a combo of 5 vehicles to make the robo "DaiBouken"('Great Adventure'); or, a combo of 9 vehicles makes the robo "Super DaiBouken" ('Super Great Adventure'); or a combo all all ten vehicles makes the robo "Ultimate DaiBouken" ('Ultimate Great Adventure') that you're seeing in this video/on that shelf. Exploration themed: Even it's 'helmet' doubles as a 'Mars-Rover'. Turn the wheel on the Drill Arm and all 3 drills spin indepentantly. The "Crane" and "Mixer" vehicles can either be feet, or arms. This Bandai Japan original release is one of the best "Super Sentai" robos every made. (The Western USA/UK/Euro released version was garbage, low quatlity, much fewer features, and its head 'lit-up' for no reason related to the TV show lore).
I love these thrift shops videos. To see all the selections you can look through in these shops are nice. I'd love to explore one of these when ever I visit Japan. I see in one of my recommended videos it's showing some Toku (super sentai machine).
Akihabara is such a special place 😊 Thanks for sharing another gem Norm! I can’t wait to visit Tokyo again!! I wanna buy ALL the manga and things for that empty suitcase I’ll bring hah
Oh my god. Whenever I end up going to Japan I know where to look for old digital video cameras now! I just think they're so fun to film with and they end up with such interesting low quality output.
damn all the camera gear is so cool, the fact that you have all that choice is soo cool. Being a amateur photography, this is definitely something I need here in the UK aahaha
That 3rd floor is very familiar to me as I have explored Akiba for years and have found some of my fave figures in similar places. Pure nostalgia for me.
Watching this video just makes me miss Japan all that much, i absolutely love all the thirft store videos ans makes me wish thrift stores here in Australia where that intresting.
These thrift shops in japan have so many things that you’d only find in japan. Seeing two-four sections full of things I’d never find in the west (or at a sane price) is amazing; those being the Kamen rider merch, old beyblades and hella anime and manga merch.
Hey I caught this before it’s been an hour! I can just rewatch these thrift store videos over and over lol I can’t get tired of them! What’s your favorite thing you’ve ever bought from one of these places?
@@TokyoLens so far my favorite score is either my shirt that reads “Got Sticky White Rice?” With a bamboo rice steamer, or this book about Metallica’s first bassist, Cliff Burton. There’s nothing else like thrift stores!
Now that’s a cool thrift shop. I always get the impression that the Japanese look after their personal belongings so anything second hand should be in perfect working order.
Everytime I see those airsoft guns in stores in Japan videos I get a culture shock. I've little by little become more aware and interested in that subculture, so definitely something I'd want to know more about
when i see the last floor l know that japan is for me ajajja, l love all those figures, cards, all the " toys in general", l need another video of this😆 , kee it up norm
Just amazing video, thanks for sharing these! I went crazy watching these as a huge longtime gamer. Then my mom saw it and said "you're going crazy aren't you" 😂 I don't collect games to sell, I actually play through them. I loved importing during the ps2 Era when that was the last Era when more often than not games stayed only in Japan, especially anime games. Nowadays everything popular and even niche things get released here.

Japan 🇯🇵 everything is made originally best stuff
My dream trip to Japan 🇯🇵
I have sent a screen shot of a Cessna on Instagram it was on amazon. i don't know if it's the one you were looking for though .
where is this store? any adress??
but im getting dizzy
One thing that I love about Japan is how some things could be older than me but look newer than when they were first released.
haha so true~
So true. I'm always amazed by that.
Pride of ownership
otaku rule #1. buy at least two of the same thing!
It’s because most Japanese pride themselves in perfection and quality for customers when you come to the store
The U.S. no offense lacks customer service when it comes to older electronics when they are sold in thrift stores or Pawn Shops.
Don't apologize for nerding out. That's what makes these store videos so interesting and unique in my eyes.
Thrift shop videos are always a delight 😂 I have to say, as someone who's been in charge of production design on a few different short films... the junk level looks like heaven. You could outfit an entire scene of great props for like, $50!!
Anyway I'll keep watching 😂
Thanks so much Kris!!
Chris Broad should take note - he'd be able to find some cool stuff for his backstreet section of his set.
I wish op shops where I live are this interesting. The closest we have would be pawn shops. And even then everything is so over priced.
Please never stop geeking out over toys. Just cause you're no longer a child, doesn't mean you have to stop loving the things you enjoyed as a child.
From these Japanese Thrift Store videos, I have concluded that Japanese thrift stores are the equivalent of heaven
Yes they do equal to geek heaven
I loved "shopping" when I went to Japan, this has just made me wanting to go back again just to go around to all the shops.
I can't wait to go there again I remember passing this shop in 2018 when I went to Japan for the first time cant wait to go in May this year. I only went to Mandarake Japan
Love these thrift store videos. Love them because of the amazing finds and the cheap prices. It makes me wish I can to visit the provinces instead of staying in Tokyo. But sadly, I can't at the moment, hopefully someday soon.

How exciting! It's such a tidy and organized thrift store. Funny how you hid the toy to buy later though 😂
So happy that thrifting isn’t dead in Japan’s metro areas like it is here in the US. DOCTOR HELI CODE BLUE! I have watched a few of those episodes!

Hearing Hard-Off store music making me miss Japan so bad. Can’t wait to go back to Japan in the future! Thank you for sharing this brother.

Japan truly brings the saying "a man's junk is another man's treasure" to the next level

Hope to see more thrifting in the future!!! Take care!
Lol I love how nerdy you are! Thank you for bringing us along on your trips.

“Garbage, low quality” makes sense given how bad overdrive was as a show (especially compared to boukenger)
I love how you ended in the section I would call the Tokusatsu Toys. doubt you'd find nerf. but most likely the Super Sentai Equivalent.
Absolutely love the place, hope it hasn't changed much
I love these thrift shops videos. To see all the selections you can look through in these shops are nice. I'd love to explore one of these when ever I visit Japan. I see in one of my recommended videos it's showing some Toku (super sentai machine).
Norm, you NEED that radio!!! I LOVED that thing!!! I collect mid century radios… that was cool old piece.
Wheeeeee! I love the entrance of the red box at @14:53 😂😂 I would definitely get lost in the retro gaming section here 💜
Akihabara is such a special place 😊 Thanks for sharing another gem Norm! I can’t wait to visit Tokyo again!! I wanna buy ALL the manga and things for that empty suitcase I’ll bring hah
INCREDIBLE how organized the thrift shop is!
u made this shop a must hit when i come to japan in akihabra i am a massive takusastu fan
Oh my god. Whenever I end up going to Japan I know where to look for old digital video cameras now! I just think they're so fun to film with and they end up with such interesting low quality output.
I love checking out shops full of old retro games and hardware.
Interesting things floating around in that store, I'll have to do a bit more searching on my next trip.
Japanese Family Computer FTW! Summer back in the 90s with the family com was heaven
damn all the camera gear is so cool, the fact that you have all that choice is soo cool. Being a amateur photography, this is definitely something I need here in the UK aahaha
This was a fun video. I kept finding myself wanting you to explore other sections that caught my attention.
I love hearing you nerd out, there's so much passion in it and I am all here for it !
Thrift shopping in Japan is on my bucket list now, thank you!
Another great video. Especially when I needed it. Hope You and everyone has a great day and week. Keep up the amazing content.
I literally search on youtube for videos of Japanese toyshops, love finding the rare stuff in them! Never feel ashamed for nerding out!
looks like a place I could spend hours nerding out as well finding interesting things. lol great find.
Oh my gosh I’m dying to go to Tokyo and get a N64 🎮 didn’t see a Dreamcast, id totally buy that too. Hoping I get to go to Nihon next year
Well, now I want to go thrift stores again. I haven't done that in years, so, you've motivated me.
That 3rd floor is very familiar to me as I have explored Akiba for years and have found some of my fave figures in similar places. Pure nostalgia for me.
Going to places like this is definitely my goal when coming to Japan. I hope to spend a year doing foreign study.
loved the video, very relaxing, thank you
Love the longer videos. Love thrift shop/store videos. 💖
Watching this video just makes me miss Japan all that much, i absolutely love all the thirft store videos ans makes me wish thrift stores here in Australia where that intresting.
Love thrifting! Japan has some great recycle stores. Lots of treasures to find. 😊
love your thrifting videos! so many neat hidden gems all around

Well, not entirely true, we're tossing up between Japan and Canada. haha
Hey I caught this before it’s been an hour! I can just rewatch these thrift store videos over and over lol I can’t get tired of them!
What’s your favorite thing you’ve ever bought from one of these places?
honestly.... the astro boy that I bought still sits on my desk and shelf
I love that little dude!
@@TokyoLens so far my favorite score is either my shirt that reads “Got Sticky White Rice?” With a bamboo rice steamer, or this book about Metallica’s first bassist, Cliff Burton.
There’s nothing else like thrift stores!
I wish i could visit AKIHABARA next time! shops and goods are pretty interesting there while watching your video
Now that’s a cool thrift shop. I always get the impression that the Japanese look after their personal belongings so anything second hand should be in perfect working order.
Love these thrift store videos!
That BOSS DS-1 distortion pedal was my favorite as a teen as well!
Damn when I spend my year in Japan I'm DEFINITELY gonna go check out thrift stores to get like a cheap switch and a few games for the train rides lol
Absolutely amazing!
That Star Wars bin is amazing. I had so many of those little voice tags! Lol I've likely still got a few kicking around
Wow thrift shops in Japan are like sightseeing of their own!
Everytime I see those airsoft guns in stores in Japan videos I get a culture shock. I've little by little become more aware and interested in that subculture, so definitely something I'd want to know more about
