as the highest Ferris wheel in the world
-Highest Ferris... -Highest Ferris wheel in the world.
-By the Guinness Book of World Records! -Whoo!
-Yay! -Yeah.
It just said the highest Ferris wheel in the world.
So, you were right. It is really tall.
You were right.
-Am I not always? -Huh? No.
[laughs]
If you want to try the freshest seafood ever,
this is where you need to come.
Mmm. Oh, my God.
it's like a dream come true.
Oh, my God. It's divine.
After a ten-minute walk,
we're in Ginza, Tokyo's most exclusive neighborhood.
[music]
[laughs]
You said it. I just showed you.
-Do you know where to go? -Yeah.
[music]
Fully automated, look at this. No driver.
The ride was so nice.
Worth it for the view alone!
Odaiba! Welcome to Odaiba!
This, my friend, is a man-made island.
A very short walk from where we were in Chuo-dori.
We caught the monorail and here we are.
[music]
Wow, this is so beautiful.
This here is a famous bridge.
It's the Rainbow Bridge.
At night it gets full of colors.
Over there, there is a small beach.
Did you know? There's a beach in Tokyo
And right here, a replica of the Statue of Liberty.
[music]
Do you have any idea of the amount of people doing selfies here?
You can also come here on a cruise.
You can get this Tokyo Cruise.
This is one of the stops
And the pier is right there, close to the Statue of Liberty.
This is also an Olympic area.
There will be competitions here in the Olympics.
Even if you have no idea where to go here
or you don't want to do any shopping,
it's worth it coming for a stroll
because look at this, everything is so beautiful.
[music]
Oops, something is about to happen here.
[music]
If you're not familiar with anime and you think of Transformers,
when you see this...
Pa!
Let me introduce you to Gundam, Japanese anime series.
Actually, Gundam is one of the top 15 highest-grossing media franchises
of all time in the entire world.
Just out of curiosity, franchises number one and two
are also Japanese: Pokemon and Hello Kitty.
Way ahead of Mickey Mouse, Disney Princesses and Star Wars.
And this is Unicorn Gundam.
[music]
You're not really helping the production.
You ate half of it before I filmed.
[laughs]
-Production personnel needs to speed it up.
-Oh. [laughs]
[indistinct chattering]
There might be crab here, right?
Look at this. I think it's crab.
And this might be octopus.
This is so good.
[music]
-Are you scared?
-I don't get scared of anything.
-Oh, come on.
Wow, you can buy the ticket here in the machine.
Okay.
Gordon: One more.
-Is this all? -Yes.
Oh, okay.
Arigatou gozaimasu (thank you very much)
Arigatou gozaimasu. (thank you very much)
Gordon: Pink
I don't want pinky
What is that? Are you dizzy?
No.
I want to rock and roll it
[laughs]
You can choose one of these normal cabins
or one that is totally see-through including the bottom.
Imagine that. That would be too much for me.
-Yeah. -He was the first one that said
"no see-through"
-You don't want to see my bottom. -[laughs]
There's also a huge difference in the waiting time.
Here we arrived and got in immediately.
Over there, you got to wait at least half an hour
because they don't have many.

-Highest Ferris... -Highest Ferris wheel in the world.
-By the Guinness Book of World Records! -Whoo!
-Yay! -Yeah, you were right.
-Am I not always? -Huh? No.
[laughs]
PA: You've reached the highest point: 115 meters
We're at the top. Yay!
Look around.
Yeah.
Arigatou gozaimasu. (thank you very much)
The ride lasts for 15-16 minutes.
It's one of those things you have to do on a beautiful day.
The cost here is a thousand yen, about US$10
Compare this to the price of other top ferris wheels in the world.
Ah! This is see-through, totally made of glass.
Got to be careful with what you wear in these see-through cabins
because from down here, you can see everything.
[music]
Look at this mall!
Totally Las Vegas' style.
[music]
-Do you think this is for sale?
-Yes, all this is probably for sale.
-No way. -Yeah.
That's why it's certified.
Officially licensed collectible
Yeah.
-No way. -Yeah.
-It's 24-karat gold. Do you see this?
-Yeah, yeah. So I wonder how much they charge
Do you know what I'm gonna have for collectible?
My fingerprint on a camera button.
[laughs]
And if you've been wondering the whole time what's written on my shirt,
that's "Be happy."
Gordon, you're happy?
Always.
I've also been told by Japanese that this is not proper Japanese,
but that is okay. -No.
-Didn't you get it in China? -No, I got it in the US.
[laughs]
Gordon, are you happy?
-Yeah. -Yeah.
Fingerprint - because everyone is unique.
-Mine. -Yeah.
You're not working much.
You're having a good leisure time here.
[laughs]
Nothing brilliant to say in response?
I work French hours.
