Hey guys, good morning. We're going on a
shopping adventure today. My fiance has
a day off work, so we're going to go to
IKEA for the first time ever. I've never
been there before. Taylor went there
recently, and Toe also went there
recently, and it looked really fun. So,
I decided I want to go there today. I'm
going to try and find some stuff to
organize my living room area a little
bit. His family is going to come stay
with us for a couple days, and I want
our house to look a little more put
together and neat for when they do that.
I have lots of stuff. So, I'm hoping we
can find some baskets and shelving maybe
or something. And I also want to look
for Christmas decorations cuz they'll be
coming around Christmas time. So, I want
to make the house look nice and
Christmy. So, that's the plan for today.
Look at the cats. Is this not the cutest
thing ever? They sit at the window
together and watch the
birds. Are you having fun? Yeah. Bye.
We're leaving. Bye. Bye, Merl. Bye,
Luna.
Bye, Merl.
[Music]
We're looking for a Christmas tree, but
I'm also worried that the cats are going
to destroy it, so I don't really know
what to do. I really want to get one.
I've never had like a full-size
Christmas tree in Japan. I think these
ones
are around $100. It's not too bad.
It's really nice quality. I like
it. This one's smaller, I think.
[Music]
China.
Yeah, this is what I wanted.
Yeah. Look at this. It's a little
kitchen for kids. That's so cute.
[Music]
It's so cute. I love the colors.
They have really cool pots. I really
want to get this one. So, it's just a
regular pot here, but
then it's got this on top. So, you can
steam some vegetables while you're
cooking pasta or
something, or you can just use the
regular pot with the lid on top, not use
that. Then they also have stuff like
this so that you can cook several
vegetables at the same time and they
don't get all mixed up. I really like
that. I think I want to get like one of
these and then one of these pot and
steamer set.
[Music]
It's
[Music]
great. We finally chose a tree. So,
we're deciding which decorations to go
with. I really like the white ones. I
think that looks so pretty.
[Applause]
Gold,
red, paper. The black ones look really
cool, too, actually. Oh, these are nice
ones are so cute.

We bought this cranberry juice at Costco
a couple weeks ago, and the bottle is so
big that it won't fit in our tiny
Japanese
fridge. This is the space that we had it
in, but we had to tilt it cuz it was too
tall. So, we bought some bottles to put
it in, but I don't know if they're going
to fit either. So, hopefully we can
figure out something.
to
hide. Look how close this
is. So lucky. We're making dinner with
our new pans. Now I'm going to steam
some broccoli over top of our pasta. And
this is going to be a sauce. We have
actual ingredients this time. shiake
mushrooms, uh, orange pepper, onions.
I'm going to put some garlic and the soy
meat in there. He's making a dressing
over here because we're all at a
dressing. I don't know what flavor it's
going to be, but hopefully it tastes
good. Dinner is ready. We're using our
new salad bowls. Isn't it
fancy? They have the cutest stuff at
IKEA. Pasta, steamed broccoli. It worked
out really well. That's a really handy
pot to have. I'm really glad we got
that. The pasta fit perfectly in this
jar. I'm pretty sure it was made for
spaghetti cuz it fit like right in the
top there. You can put the stickers on.
These are so cute. Look, they had other
ones underneath like miso. And I don't
know why you would put seaweed in a jar.
I'm not quite sure how to use that one,
but I can use some of the other ones.
And then there are blank ones on the
back. The cats are very interested in
what I'm doing. Are you going to help?
Are you going to help?
You having
fun? Marl, did you make a bed?
We're going to put together the tree
now. We spent all day cleaning up this
area. We're going to put it right here.
I'm fighting
[Applause]
[Music]
in. Are you excited? You going to climb
it?
Tada! Our first Christmas
tree. It's missing a star. We need to
find a star somewhere, but I think it
looks pretty cute. We chose all white
decorations. Oh, a couple gold ones, but
mostly
white. The cats are having fun. It's
probably going to be destroyed in the
morning.
[Music]
Yay! My Ocuben box is here. So, I can
finally open it. It got stuck in customs
in Japan for a little while, so I've
been waiting for this for a while. This
is the October box, I believe. So, I'm a
little behind, but this will be my first
one. So, yay. Okay, for those of you
that don't know, Aubento is a monthly
anime themed subscription box. I've seen
a couple YouTubers open these before,
but I've never gotten one myself. That
was really kind of them to send me one.
Let's start with the t-shirt. So, every
Aubento box comes with a t-shirt. And
you can choose your size, which is
awesome. It's not like a one
sizefits-all. Oh, this is awesome. It's
got Duke. I love Death Note. It's got
Soul Eater, uh, Parasite, and Tokyo
Ghoul on there as well. It's a nice
small size. It's so nice to get a
t-shirt that's actually properly sized
and not like an XL uh one sizefits-all
kind of deal. So, that's really cool.
Oh, I love it. Okay, let's take out the
explanation card. Okay, I don't want to
see what's in the box. I'm going to keep
that a surprise. I'm going to fold that
over. At the top, they have a featured
YouTuber. Oh, I didn't know they did
that. It's Noble. That's really neat
that Aubento supports YouTubers. I know
that Joey was featured in an Octo box
and there was like a sticker of his
character and stuff. So maybe there's
something from Noble in this month.
These look like socks. Really long Death
Note socks. It says I could have gotten
one of two Death Note socks. Either Duke
or Light. I'm kind of glad I got Light
because I've got Duke on this shirt. So
that's awesome. Next is a Pop figure.
This is my first ever Pop figure, which
is kind of weird for someone like me
that likes collecting everything. I
think I've been kind of scared to buy
some because if I get one, I know I'll
want to get more. I'm going to hold
back. But this is Toka from Tokyo Ghoul.
Let's take it out and see what it looks
like. That's really adorable. I like it.
Luna's in the box. Next, we have a cat.
A thank you, Akubento. Next is Aki Bento
body pillow case. I've never had a body
pillow before. Hey, this feels really
nice. This is good quality. Oh my god,
it's huge. We've got Soul on this
side and Maca on the other. So, you can
choose who you like. There's something
for
everybody. I love how this feels. It's
so soft. It's a lot softer than a normal
pillowcase. Wish I could show you the
softness. Yeah, it looks like they've
got a Noble sticker in this one. That's
really nice. I love the die cut
stickers. I had some stickers made, but
they weren't um they weren't able to die
cut them like this with our budget, so
it was just like a a round shape. This
looks so much nicer. Luna's enjoying the
body
[Applause]
pillow. Looks like we have another
Aubento exclusive. I'm not sure what
this one is.
Oh, it's a Tokyo Ghoul mask. Hey, that's
pretty cool. This is awesome if you like
cosplay. Looks like it's really nice
quality. Okay, that's pretty sweet. Not
going to lie, I'm pretty excited about
this. I've never had an anime related
box before. I've had ones like the
Kawawaii box and the Ume twins box which
are like have some anime stuff like they
have Sailor Moon goods in there
sometimes but not a specifically Oh my
god, Luna, stop it. Luna's enjoying the
button that it came with. But I've never
had an exclusively anime themed box and
this is pretty fun. I like this. Well,
thank you Aki Bento for the awesome
early Christmas present. If you guys
want to sign up for your own Akubento
box, I'll put the link down below. It's
$60 worth of anime merchandise, and the
cost of the box is under $30. So, if
you're really into anime, it's a super
good deal. All right, guys. I'm going to
say good night here. Thank you for
watching this very random vlog of random
stuff. I hope you enjoyed hanging out
with me today, and I'll see you again
soon. Bye. We just uploaded another
episode of Unsubscribers this morning to
my channel. So, if you haven't seen it
yet, please go watch it and give it a
thumbs up to support our project so that
we can keep it going. Thanks, guys. Good
night, Maro. Say
bye. Say bye.
