how's it going if you are watching this
then that means that you've made it to
the year 2013 congratulations
I'm really excited today because it is
the 1st of January 2013 and I love the
New Year because it gives me like this
push of extra motivation and like they
say in Japanese yeah turkey I have so
much friggin yah turkey I don't even
know what to do with it like I just want
to do everything and maybe I will but
there's one more reason why I like the
beginning of the year in Japan at the
very beginning of the year they sell
these things that are called buku buku
buku buku and they basically mean like
happiness
each fukubukuro contains a bunch of that
stores goods at a greatly reduced cost
most of the time you can't see what's in
the bag and it's kind of like you don't
know what you're gonna get but it should
be more than what you paid for
so this one is vanity face
I checked the store and I kind of
generally liked a lot of the clothes
inside the store so I figured that I
couldn't go wrong picking this the
zipper is like shut so like you can't
open it you can't check what are the
only rules about fukubukuro is that
while you're not allowed to check the
contents inside you are allowed to
compare weight and kind of feel them and
try to guess what kind of products are
inside

yay Jim I was hoping I would get a black
woman I got slack when I'm actually
genuinely like not even faking this
excitement I'm so excited this is cute
like a little like cardigan a nice
general black sweater a black hat yay
what is this what is this honey I'm it
jacked up
okay so that that was fun but then gem
Village Vanguard Village Vanguard um
this is actually the coolest store in
all of Japan this bag could be anything
anything at all cuz they sell just such
a wide variety of things anyway let's
see what's inside
[Music]
what is this just like a cloth corner
while you hand is a tsunami a a washable
lint roller an electric toothbrush it's
an elephant shape dish brush
silicone steamer my Village Vanguard
lucky bag is full of things that I will
never use oh I forgot I forgot this -
this was here this is probably a very
good time to mention that while fuku
burger no means like happy bag or a
lucky bag in Japan there is such a thing
as a Fukuoka doll which means a
unfortunate bag or misfortune bag bags
containing nothing but completely
unwanted items are called
kolba Colonel Cole boo Kadam
so basically to sum it all up how good
the contents of a bag are really depends
on where you go
for example the Apple star also gives
away fukubukuro in Japan last year the
people who bought one found a macbook
air inside so how about you if you live
in japan did you buy any cuckoo book at
all this year what was inside so I have
to go look so I have to figure out what
I'm gonna do with all this junk now
maybe I'll give it to my mom hey mom
it's from my pen thank you for listening
thank you for watching I'll make a new
video soon and a bowl on my head
