(electronic music)
- What just happened?
- [Electronic Voice Over] I don't know but I like it
- We are about to go inside of the
- [Electronic Voice Over] Famous Robot Restaurant
- It's only been around for about six years in Japan
but it's pretty incredible.
We get to sit up front and get close and get to show you
what it's like.
Are you ready to go into this thing?
- Yeah I'm kinda - Lincoln is
I don't really know what to expect.
(electronic music)
- We're going in before anybody else because we told them
we're YouTubers and they're super cool to YouTubers.
This is definitely the shiniest elevator I've ever been in.
(laughing)
(electronic music)
- We are now in the waiting room, that's like the staging
area before you go down to see the performance.
This is big time, there's like three or four shows every
single day throughout the week.
They have around a 140 dancers
that are all part of these perfomances
and about 30 or 40 of them are part of each one of the shows
so its a very small space
and we're about to see a performance with robots,
with lasers, with music
and tons of lights.
I mean look at this place it's like more crazy fun than
Disneyland.
- This room is just making me even more confused
of what's yet to come, I just see this
what is these chairs.
- Lincoln's never watched any YouTube videos on this,
I've watched a couple that's where I got the idea
and said John I would like to go to these places,
what do you think?
And he's like, he's like I've never been to one
- I don't know what, Robot what?
Restaurant, I'm kind of, this is growing on me.
This is really groovy, remember Lincoln
when we used the word groovy in the 70's?
- No, I don't, sorry
- [Main Male Speaker] You forgot already
- Yeah
- We're just waiting for the show to start
and a boy or a girl or a robot just came out
and is playing the guitar right now.
(folksy guitar)
(clapping)
- This place is filling up,
the robot guitarist is now leaving
and we're about to go down the stairs into the actual room.
I guess there's an elevator you can go down,
but the stairs sound a lot cooler
and then we'll show you
exactly what it's going to look like.
I just talked to one of the main people that's running it
and they said that we can have a front row seat
and we can capture all the footage we want
but we can't put our arms out because it's kinda dangerous.
This is quite the show and we're in a really small space.
Soooo
You ready?
- Yeah I'm ready, this is gonna be weird though.
(electronic music)
- Cool!
We keep going.
(electronic music)
- We keep going?
- [John] Where are we going?
- How deep underground are we right now?
- [Main Male Speaker] John, have you ever been to the
underground of Tokyo before?
- Not this underground.
- You're about to be in it,
aww look at this psychedelic LED screen on the ceiling
- [John] Wow
- I can't believe we're still going.
When in Tokyo right?
Okay, this is it
How do they fit a 100 and something people in here
just to watch it, there's really not that many seats.
Okay I need to make my way through this tight space
to our seats, right there.
- [John And Lincoln] Woooo!
(electronic music)
- We're getting closer from starting and
all we know so far is there is a spinny alien head thing
in the middle of the room.
That's a good sign of what's to come I think.
- [Male Announcer] Welcome to Robot Restaurant,
we hope you have a wonderful time.
- The show is 90 minutes long.
Did you see that?
- I thought it was like an hour, 90 minutes?
- We're gonna be here awhile.
(clapping)
(electronic music)
- [Female Announcer] Ladies and gentlemen,
welcome to world famous Robot Restaurant.
- It's beginning
- [Female Announcer] Are you ready!?
(crowd cheering
- [Main Male Speaker] (laughing) This is awesome,
alright I think this is starting.
I'm not so sad about the 90 minutes thing anymore.
(grunting)
(drumming)
- [Drummer] (Japanese words)
(drumming)
(faster drumming)
(cymbals)
(slow drumming)
(electronic music)
(crowd cheering)
- What just happened?
- [Main Male Speaker] I don't know but I like it
What are your thoughts so far?
- [Lincoln] Weird and funny to watch.
(asian chimes)
(electronic music)
Hoooo
(electronic music)
(swords clashing)
(electronic music)
- They just put chains up
like chain walls so that you can't get past it.
I really don't know what's going to happen.
We just had like a 10 minute break,
so people could get food.
(swords clashing)
(actors yelling)
(battle noise)
- They're fighting
- [Lincoln] I'm really confused
- Its like Pokemon in real life.
(swords clashing)
(battle noise)
(machine gun rapid firing)
(actors yelling)
(traditional Japanese music)
- [Female Announcer] Everybody (mumbles) the show.
Did you have a good time?
(crowd cheering)
- Alright, that's the show
That was really actually kinda cool.
If you're ever in Japan, I recommend it
but wow, I don't know what I just watched.
We're done that was something
- That was, I don't know, the laser part was cool
- A lot of it was cool, a lot of it I didn't understand
and a lot of it I'm just like
I don't care if I understand it, it is cool
- [Lincoln] Yeah
- So TripAdvisor has that as one of the top things to do
if you're ever in Japan or Tokyo.
I can see why, because as a tourist,
its like everything that you think,
when you think of Tokyo and when you think of cartoons
from Japan, like with anime and everything in it.
It was kind of that came to life, like Pokemon or something.
There it is, its that building.
I don't really know where we were,
I think we were like three or four floors down.
- [Lincoln] Yeah.
- We were either up or down I'm not really sure either.
I'm so disoriented
Is this Japan?
- There we go, there's a Robot Restaurant if you ever
wanna go I would definitely recommend it,
it's a little pricey, but its a good experience
if you're looking for that Japanese touristy experience
- I don't think that you can go to Tokyo and not go there.
It is a little, the pricey thing is maybe the biggest
problem, but I gotta tell ya, hands down like I feel
like I was just blown away by a jet engine.
It's like wow!
- I was like enjoying it, like all the things were
cool in it, but I was just confused what was going on.
- Yeah you just gotta step back
and not even try to figure it out.
- Dude, you're overthinking it!
Its just it is what it is, blaaahhhh!
- Let me know in the comments what you guys think about
the Robot Restaurant and the show.
I'd love to know your thoughts, what parts did you like?
That was pretty fun, but it's cold out here,
time to go eat some dinner.
