You look nervous. You can talk you know.
Ok...
Announcer: Are you all in positions?
We will do the countdown now.
Hey guys hey guys hey guys we're on the way to a special effects shoot with Ask Japanese today
but we just grabbed our early lunch wait wait wait the director got himself a huge
chocolate bread and i got myself some rice balls here and we're ready to go
Let's (munch) go.
This is like a truly terrifying commercial for a gambling parlor it's like
- Game center - It's a Game Center? Looks terrifying!
- They make Hina Girls here. - Oh the doll ones?
oh what oh right the the village where "my dress-up darling" takes place is actually
here it's based on the village this place is called iwatsuki
in saitama and that's where they ... this is the original location of "my dress up darling" (anime)
going on the highway
Driving on the highway... the Japanese highway...
we have a special car that automatically already charges us TOLL so we don't have to stop
all right and near the highway are a lot of love hotels and one has a shark on top
or a whale?
What does... was it supposed to tell us? What are we supposed to learn from that? I don't understand
The director said there's a reason why there's so many love hotels near highways it's because
you feel that feeling of excitement and like getting away with your life because of the speed
so people are a little bit excited and like the "oh we survived" feeling apparently
it makes them want to frequent certain places.
It's like in the Hollywood movies when after the fighting there is always a kiss scene.
The release of tension and celebration of survival I guess.
Fitting to this pink dress there's pink car... pink dress pink car oh my gosh I love this car so much already
There's a "HANYU" arrow to the service area so we're going into the service area now
this is our car today. Today it's a it's a Nissan Note it's our rental today, yeah but you know what when
it arrived it was already pretty badly damaged, look at that that looks like it's seen better days
at these kind of resting areas
there are always plastics, a place to throw away your garbage and there's also a special
against crow mechanism so they're covering it so the crows won't go in
Always Goooods!
What is that?!
it's like little pouches oh that's so cute oh that one's so cute
there's always a lot of gifts you can buy at these service stations and a lot of treats and
sometimes they're local as well. They are even having ramen takeaway
