hello everybody welcome to creative play
i'm aki
ladies first wait uh by the way we're
social distancing oh yeah right here
keep a little bit of space yeah so where
are we today oh we've come to kami
iguosa station which is in tsuginamiku
which is a really artsy area i don't
know i've been to koenji before and it
has like
secondhand shops lots of art those vibes
this is the first time that i've come
to kami
which i know is the birthplace of gundam
q also the gundam that is behind me and
there's actually going to be
a lot of gundam references as we go
around so
for you gundam fans out there um but
that's all that i know about this place
so this is our first time in
this area so there's a company the
company is called sunrise
the one that did gun then they also did
uh sergeant frog and
code gears yeah yeah you got it you got
it i don't know much about anime that's
why aki's helping me out today
but tsukinami is actually well known for
animation i didn't know that there's
over 130 companies here that are
japanese animation companies so it's
like the biggest concentration in japan
also really quickly this video is
sponsored by tsukinami city so thank you
so much for bringing us along
uh to enjoy the anime so we're going to
be checking out a few things in the area
today we're also going to check out some
photo spots and yeah i'm hoping that you
and tsuginami can teach me a lot about
yeah japanese cartoons today will get in
trouble for saying that
japanese tattoo it's anime
so without further ado let's uh go
through comedy igosa and see what we can
do around here okay sounds good
[Music]
okay so right behind me is some cool
gundam wall art this is just another
example that we're just going to be
seeing a bunch of references of gundam
did you watch gundam maybe i didn't
it's actually pretty cool like how they
just have references like this isn't the
only
place in japan that like does things
like this i've just noticed that um
whenever you go to like the hometown of
like the writer of like a big anime such
as like sailor moon
you're gonna see like references all
around so this is just like one of those
towns where they do that
as we carry on um we're just gonna go
see a bunch of more gundam stuff and
hopefully some other anime as well
so i don't know if this is common where
you are but in japan a lot of places
when the shutters are down for a shop
there will be artwork on the outside and
it makes it super beautiful so
hopefully when you come to visit the
shutters will be down and you can see
the awesome artwork because
yeah there's a few to see around here so
i wonder if we can find
some more i like a good graffiti let's
see if we can find some more
so this is a ramen shop another gundam
reference here
and i'm pretty sure that this design can
only be seen because like as emma was
saying earlier
um that the shutters are closed so this
is like a good time
to where you can kind of fan out and
take a bunch of photos and selfies and
this is just at the entrance by the way
like everything that you've seen so far
up to this point
has been in front of the station i can't
imagine how many gundam references we're
going to be seeing here
okay we've just arrived at the tsuginami
animation museum this is cool
yeah i don't think i can name all the
anime on here you if
you guys can probably see the b-roll
from what i understand this isn't one
anime specific
uh museum as you guys can clearly see
but it's an animation museum so it's
collectively
different different types of anime and
not even a specific studio it's just
series there's also some activities that
we get to do inside so oh okay yeah we
should go check it out i hope we get to
[Music]
animate
[Music]
so
[Music]
what you doing if i hold this to the map
it tells me information about it wow
this is blowing my mind do you want to
try it
yeah sure but yeah it's uh it just tells
you information in english about all the
stuff around here you just hold a pen to
the sign on the piece of paper that's
crazy uh because of corona this kind of
thing isn't available uh
right now but i will be available again
in the future history of
anime i like how it takes like three
entire categories of history of anime
okay so we're going to be doing some
voice acting i have a couple of anime
here that we can voice act from
and thank god they have an english
setting so we're going to just try
and see how this compares to that one i
see these mics here
so oh let's get started let's do this
one that looks cute
[Music]
i can be the little girl okay i'll be
the boy
oh my gosh oh
where are we i don't know
[Music]
the dreamland wow
i'm playing i'm flying too my dream has
come
true yeah yeah let's go
with our mouth we did it so they're
gonna play right now okay

oh where are we
[Music]

oh no oh no
okay you know what let's just pick
another one oh i'm sorry
i'm so sorry i didn't know that i didn't
know you had to turn the mic on
we're improvising we haven't heard the
recording yet okay
so what do we name it uh how about
momo no let's name it
no wait that's childish no we totally
skipped characters why not yanta it's
just a kitten right besides momo's a
girl name you know it's
dad that's a good name now you are
good here we go so
what do we name it
how about yeah why not
it's just the kitten right besides
mama's a girl name you know it's a boy
so what
good job you did so much better oh my
god
okay that's super fun um we're gonna go
and see what else there is around here
as well yeah
[Music]
these are my little traces i just
decided to trace because it would be
uh faster because i couldn't figure out
what to animate
oh my god his head is breaking eyes are
getting smaller
i have no idea if this is going to work
[Music]
we just finished making our animations
that was so much fun seriously i had no
idea was a lot better than mine i mean i
was just basic because i wanted to just
see how it all worked
[Music]
cheers we're at inazuma cafe and as you
guys can see behind us we have like a
whole bunch of
manga art on the wall there it's
actually all over the cafe the art in
this cafe was drawn by the original
artists
so it's just amazing this place is full
of so many different styles and
yeah different famous people as well it
gives up a really good vibe and the food
looks really good too we got a
smoked avo smoked avocado uh sandwiches
australia a smoked avo uh and uh some
mango lemonade
we just got the same thing yeah because
it just looks so good yeah no i've got
heaps of options
it's so good oh man this place is really
close to ogekko boss station
which is about five minute walk from
here easy to get to well all the shops
on the way here they're just so cute
like little alleyways and everything it
was really good vibes i i think this all
might be original art because none of
this looks familiar to me
um as far as anime goes i have no idea
of cool
[Music]
it's nami nami they're the mascots for
tsuginamiku and they're so so cute i
love seeing them everywhere
but this area we're in right now is
asagaya and it's actually really famous
for the tanabata festival you can see
there's like some lanterns on the uh on
the manhole cover but there's a huge
festival that's held every year
lots of lanterns lots of summer festival
foods and tanabata yeah you make a wish
you put it on a tree we all have a good
time so we've just come to star
road which is like right next to asagaya
station also the star road sound like
something
that's in kirby it sounds like a course
on mario kart
yeah or a super any of that stuff
but uh we're searching for a particular
bar also in the past we have filmed
another video in asagaya in this area so
if you guys want to check it out please
follow one of the cards
up above we're going to find a place to
have a bit of a drink
have a little bit of food and hang out
for the evening absolutely
[Music]
oh it's matcha oh my god okay i get the
personality
it's like it's feisty it's angry it's
very sour
i got tanjiro from uh demon slayer
and as you can see i mean of course it's
green and the flavor it's basically
matcha with a little bit of alcohol just
from this little sip
i i can get why they made tanjiro
matcha flavor because it's very like
traditional japan and everything
so it's pretty good and i think emma you
did you get alphonse
so this is like a very lemony like
strong drink and so i like it because i
feel like ed when he gets angry he's
just like
what are you talking about it's got that
kind of bite to it okay well actually
this is our last stop so we're just
gonna
enjoy our drinks and come by drink the
night away
um but yeah what did you think about
today i think it would be yeah no i
think it was really good especially like
if you are an
anime fan but there is like a lot of
things you know example for you like you
don't really watch that much anime at
all so i feel like
you could still enjoy yourself coming
here but i think the initial
thing that uh anime fans will come here
for is definitely like gundam and then
also ending your
day out with an otaku bar of course
coming from someone who doesn't really
watch anime
i'd like to think that emma had a pretty
good time i did i mean you've had two
drinks already i had a great time
no but i had a really good time i loved
the museum especially like learning how
to do our own animations and doing voice
acting i thought that was awesome and
even yeah
i'm not that into anime but i guess
maybe now i am a little bit i just had
an awesome day it was really good
and also all these places are accessible
really easily from shinjuku so
if you're ever in japan or tokyo and you
just want to get a little bit of
anime in your life then definitely check
these places out also we would like to
thank suganami city for sponsoring this
video thank you so much for allowing us
to come and
check out all the anime stuff and uh
giving us a new sense of what the city
is all about
but yeah thanks for coming on the
journey aki no worries you're great i'll
see you next
you next time guys bye bye subscribe
[Music]
so that's gundam
we're gonna go and see what else there
is around here yeah
