We're trying to retrace the karaoke
scene from 'Lost in Translation' and
Google Street View pointed us to this building which is
close by but the problem is there is no karaoke joint
in this very building.
Now I have to confess something there was something going on the last few days
that I didn't want to include in the vlog
unless it ended well. To put it plainly, we
lost a phone. This is the phone so now you see we got it back
this is the LG G4. We lost it Friday night
during my birthday party. When you lose something in Japan you don't have to
assume somebody took it or it's gone forever. You you can safely assume you're going to get it back.
It's that day after Kris's birthday and I've been tasked with
finding his phone. We used the vlog to track down where we went to karaoke so
I can go check on his phone there.
6th floor.
Nope, it's closed.
We went to the police station too which is something you should do
eventually we filed a report. When you just go to a police station
they just have access to their Lost and Found box in this particular police
station so if you wanna
have the whole Lost and Found Tokyo networks checked, then you have to file a report.
I checked yesterday.
I tried to check earlier today but it only opens after midnight
Okay, so it's my fourth time coming back here.
Once before they told me that the phone wasn't here, but I think there's a chance that it can be here.
Alright it's open, that's a good sign.
But the funny thing about this story
is that this phone is the phone we are using to make a video for a client right
LG is my client in Poland and we're making a video with this phone to
showcase how good the camera is on this phone.
So losing it
is not the best idea.
YESYESYESYESYES!
They had it I gotta go cancel the police report
I guess this is a good indication of one of the thinsg I love about Japan
you very rarely get things stolen here it's just not part of the culture
and it's really really bad to be considered a thief
I just canceled the report at the
little police station behind me so we're all good.
But, everything ended well. We have the phone and I hope.
LG people will find this story funny after all.
I have a fun idea.
The video we were making with this phone is about
American and Western movies shot in Tokyo
So we're retracing some cinematic locations.
so 'Wolverine' was shot here.
The love hotel scene.
I just don't know what's happening even the arrangement of the cubicles is different as in the movie.
Maybe we are looking from the wrong side.
I don't think so.
I think they just glued different pieces of Tokyo together.
It's supposed to be this street there is not a single building that that matches
The director sees the building and says
'Wow, this looks amazing only, let's just do it completely in CGI because it doesn't look good enough.'
This whole day is just going from place to place and taking a few shots here and there.
Time for an afternoon nap.
This is pretty interesting that leads to
nowhere. There are just people standing
at the middle of the section of the station
but the reason they're standing here
cream puffs.
Guess which floor we're at now.
26
No, 16.
Woooooooooow
you know I've never actually been here. Everybody comes here
Oh, that's Yoyogi Park, I think?
That's Yoyogi Park.
The building over there is Hikarie which is
is by Shibuya Station and so I live right around there.
This is where the Park Hyatt from 'Lost in Translation' is.
Can't turn down an opportunity to get a gacha gacha, a Gudetama gacha gacha that is.
Gudetama recently got really popular.
Look in Shibuya Station they have billboard ads of YouTubers.
We're coming to get you.
2.200,000 subscribers. It's gonna happen.
2 months. So please subscribe so we can be there.
This guy is probably vlogging.
Here's a vlogger.
And here's television.
New and old media meeting on Shibuya Crossing.
More YouTubers, they have a microphone. They have a Rode Microphone.
Oh mother******
I'm excited, this is my favorite Japanese food.
my favorite Japanese food too.
This thing we're having is called 'Shabu-Shabu.'
We're not gonna be explaining details now, I made a video about it
last year. It's in Polish but you might still see it.
It's basically the best meal ever.
Enough said.
Oh, and this exact place was in 'Lost in Translation'
Bill Murray and Scarlett were sitting at this exact table.
The tough thing about
filming in Tokyo is that once you get started you get tired from
over filming because everything looks good
This is my favorite band name
'Sanabagun'
We got everything we need for today so
now it's time to edit this video and edit this vlog
So we'll see you guys after
we edit the videos when you see the videos and we start filming again.
You'll see us really.
