hey guys welcome back to tokyo creative
play i'm here today with
aki dearest hi guys today we're going to
be playing smasher pass now we're going
to be playing uh which
which is better we're going to be given
two things and
sharla and i are going to talk about
which one it that we prefer
agree to disagree i think we're gonna
get like nine questions here so
we don't know what we're expecting here
no hopefully this should be interesting
and yeah let's just get to it
i don't eat beet i feel like i'm a bad
one to debate this again
okay if i had to pick one i would
probably pick yakiniku because they
always have other like korean side
dishes like bibimbap
or yeah you can grill veggies i think i
prefer grilled things to boil
things it's hard to say because i eat
anything like no joke but
i guess if i had to pick i mean shabu
shabu is like
you have to be in the mood for it
because it can be pricey
right and i feel like everyone has to be
hungry you have to have the money and
you have to have the time
because like shabu shabu it's like tea
time but within
you know and with yaki miku you know i'm
always up for yakiniku i don't know
which side i was i was going here
i think you're leaning towards yeah okay
on a casual day
but if if my pocket is full and
everyone's down for it shall we
sounds awesome yeah so i guess we'll
just agree that yakimiku
is good for the average day out damn
dude i actually kind of want some now
robot restaurant robot restaurant it's
insane
robot restaurant like i think it's so
it's one of those things where it's like
a rite of passage like when you visit
japan for the first
time it's it's like it's a big tourist
attraction
tourist attraction not tourist trap
because i feel like you get what you
paid for
it's like it's fantastic made cafe it
can hurt
and it hurts your wallet and it hurts
your heart and like
man never good and the food's not good
so it's just
i mean it's also a rite of passage that
you kind of have to do when you come to
japan
true but i would do the robot cafe much
more in fact
i wouldn't be surprised if the cost for
the robot cafe i can't remember what the
price was it was a lot i think it was at
least 60 dollars
that sounds like an average maid cafe
menu true
you're gonna get and you have to wear
the cat ears and you're in front of
everyone and
yeah charlotte and i on robot
restaurants when did you go to the robot
restaurant because i heard it's really
changed over the years and they've like
toned it down apparently it used to be
like
really sexy but now it's more like
child safe i mean i went i think like
easily over like year year and a half
ago
okay i don't know what toned down me
child
safe by then i think uh the one that i
went to children can go to it definitely
no one that has
that's epileptic can go to yes yeah it
was crazy
but yeah definitely definitely robot
restaurant
yeah hiroshima i've never been to
hiroshima oh you gotta try it
it's always like teenagers beside me
that always get in i always stare at it
but then going
it's a lot it's like yakisoba and then
okay
yeah and sometimes they put egg on top
too like that one looks bomb though
but considering i haven't had it yet i'm
going to have to go with osaka
and i had it in osaka like twice and
real thing
this is good all kinds all kinds of
okonomiyaki but if i had to pick one i
would choose hiroshima
is there a vegetarian you can make it
yeah you can make a vegetarian so you
can put whatever you want in it
really but if you got it at a restaurant
it would probably have fish flakes and
dashi in it but if you make it
easy i mean overall though like all it's
kind of make your own thing
so yeah that's that's the whole point of
it so yeah
a japanese food truck i don't think i've
wait i don't know if i've ever gotten
food from a food truck
i guess we're gonna have to say kombini
considering it's hard to find a food
truck as you guys can
couldn't so it sounds like it's more of
like a salary man thing like
they park outside of offices kind of
market towards those people so i've
never had one but i'm still gonna go
with food truck
because i'm so sick of cold beady food
so yeah that gets my vote because i
can't imagine that it's any worse than
kobe
food i'm gonna go with konbini food just
because my friend has had food poisoning
from the food truck oh no
so i haven't exactly been sold on this
right
i feel like give me like until the two
or three year mark i'll probably be
where charlotte is mentally with that
honestly i was really good up until i
did that bike trip across japan
and all we ate was obiti for like a
freaking month
after that i've just been like i'll
probably
stop liking konbini food when i've
stopped liking the ebi mile
onigiri because that's i think the best
part about the company
is also like they rotate like their ice
cream and their candy
they do it's always different yeah
what's your obsession with chocolate
mint
lately have you noticed summer flavor
after sakura comes chocolate mint okay
because i was wondering why everything
gosh i'm gonna go with konbini for now
truck for me
even though i've never had it
that's a tough one because i like parts
of both of them
i feel like osaka is really gritty and
the nightlife is really fun
whereas kyoto has some really beautiful
nature spots
so like this is going to be totally
biased but the square enix cafe is in
osaka
and i got some good memories from there
i watched the kingdom hearts orchestra
um and also i love the nightlife if you
guys like urban nightlife
stuff is really good and also the people
are much more social than
they're really cool aren't they they're
really yeah like they'll actually
talk to you and they don't find it weird
um i always
keep forgetting to stand on the right
side
oh my god i know and then you come back
and you're like you're finally used to
it then you're on the wrong side again
yeah and then someone behind will be
like and i'm like oh
yeah okay i'm sorry dude do you ever go
to that i think it's like 5-5-1
horai in osaka it's like the nikuman
oh no oh it's this very specific like
nikuman brand it's like at the station
and
the line's always long and every time i
go to osaka i always get a whole box
and anyone that goes to station look for
i think it's called five five five one
that sounds familiar i can't choose i
think i might have to pick kyoto
honestly in general i don't really like
kyoto because it's so
touristy like it's packed with tourists
but there are some spots like that
aren't as bad that i really like and i
really like outdoorsy stuff
nature stuff so i think i'm gonna have
to go with kyoto
oh now you asking the real questions
i like them both i can't choose damn
okay so like to anyone who doesn't know
daiso
is like the dollar store of japan
however when you think of dollar store
you think of like everything you don't
want is like
not like shot that sounds like you pay a
dollar for
actual good quality and things you're
gonna use a lot of the things in this
room
and probably in china's room i i
guarantee you
half of this is from daiso yeah like as
soon as you move into a new apartment
you just go to daiso
and buy all the things you need you
would never think to do that in like a
canadian dollar store because they're so
cool
but here you can get really nice stuff
oh this is such a hard choice
don quixote is like daiso bought on
crack it's more expensive
there's so many people there's so many
floors but it's open
later and i go out pretty late i'm gonna
have to say don quixote just because
they have a better selection of things
like they have lots of makeup they have
like
furniture which is something daiso
doesn't have yeah i'm gonna have to go
donkey hotel but daiso is awesome
i'll do daiso because i do go there more
often there's one down the street and i
think they know me there by now
yeah there's like this woman who doesn't
want to talk to me for some
probably because i speak english oh no
she purposely like doesn't go to the
cash register whenever i
oh no she like runs away she's like oh
[ __ ] again yeah
so i'm just like that's okay because i
there's another dude who actually likes
talking to me and he's practicing his
english so it's right oh that's cool
but that's see that's just a personal
thing but essential wise daiso is just
convenient
all in all definitely
i i've only been to ginza like maybe
three times
i don't even remember what's in ginza
it's like really expensive stuff so all
the big brands
like louis vuitton and omotesando also
has the brands but it also has cheaper
stuff and lots of cafes which is what i
usually go to a mote sando for my hair
salon is there
i mean ginza i know that i've been there
like one or two times and
if it's like filled with big brands i
mean i'm from vegas and then that's like
all we have on the damn strip and
yeah all you're going to do is just
stare at and you're not going to walk in
because you feel intimidated exactly
i mean there's that but omotesando it's
also next to harajuku it's like that one
place you just
end up walking in yeah not mad about it
you know
and it's also kind of a more of a
younger demographic that goes to
omotesando if you guys go to harajuku
you will most likely just end up in the
sun because you're walking around it's
right next to it yeah we're on
omotesando for this one i actually
really like them both and i don't watch
that much anime
this is so hard to answer this is the
hardest question
it's okay i won't judge you i'm gonna
have to go with your name
okay i'm gonna go with spirited away
just because
it's one of those things that really
established what that anime was anime
for me it's like yeah we all watch like
pokemon and sailor moon but you viewed
those on the same level
back then as like rugrats like yeah true
it's very different yeah like you didn't
really
know what anime was and i feel like what
spirited away i like i got it and
i don't know it's still good but i don't
know i feel like
with spirited away it's something that
will always stick with me
like i'm gonna show my future kids this
and i'm sure they're gonna show theirs
it's yeah one of those things that'll
always
uh go on and i think i've even preferred
silent voice
oh really i haven't seen that yet yeah
no silent voice is great and i read the
whole manga it's fantastic i'm more of a
fan of the
other jubilee movies that i watched
first because they're like super
nostalgic for me
like princess mononoke is probably my
favorite when i watched spirited away it
wasn't probably as
impressive to me because i'm just you
know i'm used to julie being amazing so
it didn't have like such
a deal yeah did you play films have this
power like each one has like their team
it's like this team edward team jacob
thing it's like
when you've grown up with one it will
stick with you
yeah it's like it's like your first
starter pokemon yeah yeah
you'll stick with it and then the rest
just kind of comes along but there will
never be one that beats it spirited away
actually isn't even my favorite ghibli
film uh it's actually
um nausicaa that was my intro as well
deeply films are just a good way to
introduce anyone to anime
i feel like oh disney c
disney c dude i feel like that's easy
yeah i've been to both
disney sea's beautiful i love how it's
designed i'm not a disney fan at all
it's like probably one of my least
favorite places in all of japan but
but disney sea is like gorgeous i love
how i
find it i was not a disney fan until i
came to japan
not really for the longest time when
when i was first just visiting i was
like what the hell is everyone's
obsession with disney
yeah like i was like so sick of it in
america i
was not even into i was more of a
dreamworks kind of person right
then i saw the merch and then i was like
okay i kind of get
you're converted like yeah and then like
you go there
and people like go all out with like the
group themes
they really do that is cute and then i
just feel like i want to be part of this
community and i don't know why
and since then i've actually been to
disneyland and disneysea
seven times last year i know last year
just last year oh because i'm a straight
shot i'm one train
i've only been to each one once i think
that's enough
it's just the crowds i don't like and i
think i lined up for each ride for like
three hours
each did you see the one uh the famous
picture on like japanese twitter where
it showed disneyland on the first day of
golden week last year
no but i can imagine oh no it was
completely empty
oh why so my friend was lucky enough to
go there
uh on that day with her friends yeah so
it went super viral on japanese twitter
because everyone thought on the first
week
first day of golden weekend everything
was busy so no one went
yeah and then there was an employee that
like posted it and said like
we don't know what's going on so we
figured that
everyone thought it was going to be busy
so no one should
my friend said she went on all the rides
oh
pictures she's like did i come on a bad
day like crazy
but then the next day was completely
full because they saw the pictures
yeah yeah so it looks like that that's
all of the debates that charlotte and i
were given um but overall yeah we were
asked some pretty real questions here
hopefully you guys
yeah hopefully you guys learned some
like a few things about
coming to japan hopefully whenever the
borders open up again you guys will
enjoy kombini or food trucks
whatever it may be i want to hear what
you guys think uh
let us know your answers in the comments
below go to disneyland
yeah disney c disney c sorry
man all right thanks guys
bye bye guys yeah people just like spit
in the cup
and oh man it's so romantic like
they spit in the cup and i was just like
i know it's i know it's romantic but
math is so gross
but it was a good story nonetheless
