Hey guys, we're in Akihabara today. We're going shopping for cosplay!
Actually, because there's only like a month and a half left until Halloween-
-and they're gonna do like this giant cosplay event in Ikebukuro so I'm hoping I can go this year, it looks really fun.
Yeah, so we're in Akihabara and we're gonna go to Animate.
I dunno what to do cause I'm just in the background. I don't know what to do!
You can just be awkward in the background. This is Shine.
Hi
He brought me a pretzel. I didn't even know they had these in Japan.
I know, I love them.
I had my first pretzel in Germany and it was amazing and I'm excited that they have them.
Ok, there's a guy with a minecraft t-shirt and Shine wants me to show him to you.
Can you see the guy with the minecraft t-shirt. Ah, there he goes! Okay.
Summer's almost over though. Apparently, by like this Friday it'll be 24 degrees, so.
Oh that's great!
Ay! Yay! Ahh so many people.
I bet Animate's gonna be crowded.
There's a lot of maids.
Do you like maid cafés?
Meh.
Have you been to one?
No
You've never been to one?
No
I'm suprised.
It's just awkward, man!
It's really awkward. I've been to two now and they were both equally as awkward.
Kotobukiya
Ah, so they came out with this new Mario game where you can create your own levels and it looks like retro Mario, like the first one.
Luigi's better though.
Really?! You like Luigi?
Yeah, he's the sexy one.
He's the sexy one!
Oh, that's so cool.
Oh come on, look Luigi's the one that's dying.
Like seriously though, with all these they're badass, but Luigi's the one that's gotta be dead.
Hinata in there.
Is it one of those ones like you don't know which one you're gonna get?
Yeah, remember that's Sonya, that you wanted to cosplay.
Oh I like her.
So I'm considering cosplaying this blond character for Halloween, so we're gonna go look, if I can find a wig today hopefully.
Yeah.
My hair isn't blond enough.
Where's the guy that you wanna cosplay.
Right here.
Shine's going for this guy, so we need to find a wig for him too.
Yeah
I wanna get him in this box too, gosh.
Have you bought any of these before?
Yeah, I bought this one and I got the white-haired.
You got that guy?
Yeah and I love him.
Wow, there's Mario everywhere. Aww that's so cute.
Wow
A schedule book of Miku.
Oh yeah you like Miku right?
Yeah I like her.
Look what I found guys, it's a Hello Kitty / Wasabeef collaboration.
How much is this though? I might buy this for my video.
Shine wants the Miku cookies.
It should say on the back.
No
What?
It just says price not including tax
It doesn't say how much. What? What?
Original gifts.
Oh my god, I want that so bad.
Look at it. Aww
It's cute.
It's a Hello Kitty hug pillow.
Aw man that's cool.
I really like her so much.
Do you?!
She's the best.
Cause she has big boobs, right?
Check out the Dragon Quest Lawson guys, I had no idea that this place existed.
It's like on the other side of Animate.
Apparently it's not like a special limited edition thing, it's always like this.
It looks like there's too much of that.
So cool.
Ahhh!
That's awesome, it makes the sound that, when you leave a dungeon.
Yeah! Yeah, yeah!
Check out this cosplay place we found guys, it's all used stuff.
Oh it's used that's, oh okay.
But look the wigs aren't used I don't think, or are they?
Umm, it's recycled.
Either way, look at all the costumes! This place is awesome!
These are all wigs. Maybe we can find the ones we want.
Cool. Hetaria.
Final Fantasy!
Ka. What is it? Ta? What is it?
Uh, Da
Da, da.
No, Ta.
Ta.
Haruhi
Ah, Danganronpa!
What? Ah, I see.
Yeah, this is the good jacket I bought. This is originally-
Look how cheap it is though.
Oh my god!
And this is Danganronpa too, as well.
That one looks better quality, maybe, is that like the one that you got?
No this is not official though.
This is the one that I got.
Is that all they have, is those two?
No way, that sucks!
Boo!
What's that?
That's it? Oh my god, that sucks!
Well hey what size is this?
What about next door, is that-
Oh that's Evangelion.
This is, this is, what size is this?
Is that for the character that you want?
No, that's not the one. Just checking, that's L.
L.
It's too big.
Damn there's so many costumes though!
You think they'd have Umaru?
I dunno it just looks cute.
This is using so much money!
Oh it's so close though!
I'm not gonna make it!
It's gonna fall at the back
Do your best!
This may fall back again.
Noooo!
Oh my god! Ah!
God damn it!
The head yeah
I better not fuck up
Like I'm so mad if I can't get it here.
I'll be so-
Nooo, oh my god.
Yaaaay! Yaaay!
Yeah! Yay!
That's awesome. Thank you!
You're welcome
Alright, we're looking for costumes again.
Back down to the fifth floor.
Oh my god.
Ok, wigs. Wigs are over here.
That's Sonya's color
Like that color?
Yeah
That looks short though, I think.
That's short yeah.
This color?
I dunno
No?
No, no, no.
No, no, no, no, no.
No!
Too short!
Too dark!
Too-
Ahhh!
Ahhhh!
Wow!
Dude, they-
This is the costume I've been looking for guys!
Dude, they actually sell it here!
Ok that's pretty awesome!
Should I get it?
Dude, that's-
But we need to decide for sure if you're gonna...
That's so awe-
That you're gonna play that character or not.
That's, oh my god, I-
Wow! They sell it all! It's got the belt and everything.
Hey guys, I got my costume!
So we're gonna go back to Animate now and get the wig for Shine, or at least try it on.
Yeah!
Um, and then I need to get some tights, so we might go back to one of the other stores that we were in earlier.
They're really expensive, not tights, um knee-high socks.
They were, like, 1600 yen just for socks. So it was kind of expensive.
Sixteen dollars.
Yeah, yikes!
But, they look nice, so I guess I'll get them. And they're nice socks, right so I can wear them normally too so whatever.
All you need to get is a wig and red shoes.
Yeah, shoes! That's gonna be fun!
She wears like these red heels. So, I dunno, maybe I'll try Harajuku for that.
I want this Pikachu so bad, but these big ones are always, like, really hard.
Oh my god!
Yay, we're finally eating our pretzels!
Auntie Anne's - Pretzel Perfect.
It looks so good!
Shall we go and sit outside then?
Mmm, yeah let's go on a side street.
This is awesome!
I had my first pretzel in Germany and I haven't had one since.
That's, oh...
Is it good?
Yeah!
You got the salty one right?
Mhmm
Mine's sweet.
Look at it!
Mmm!
That is so good!
Mmm!
These are so good!
It's so buttery
Tastes like a cinnamon bun
Thank you, this is awesome!
My hair looks red in the camera.
It does.
It looks orange!
It's the lighting
Nooo!
I'm not a ginger, I swear!
I have a soul
Are you watching this Rachel?!
I bet you are!
Oh my gosh, oh I forgot she's ginger. Oh my god, I'm so sorry Rachel!
Dude, I'm so-
We're at a café now and I'm gonna get this grape parfait.
It's a seasonal parfait, grapes are in season right now.
There's lots to choose from
Hmm?
What's the difference of, um, gelato and ice cream?
Gelato is like, it's better. It's like less milky and more, like, flavor.
Ok, so gelato's-
It's better, it's better for sure.
Ok.
This looks really good!
Oh that looks so nice!
That looks better
Let's eat!
Let's enjoy the mint.
The mint?! I don't think it's mint, it looks like parsley!
What is this?
Oh it's like sherbert.
Ommmm.
Eughhh! It was NOT mint!
Mmmm
Oh, what?!
It tastes like wine
Really?
Yeah, this part.
It kinda tastes like wine.
Oh this thing is good.
Is it?
Yeah
Oh okay.
Oh my god
Ok guys, we're playing this game where-
-we make a drink for each other from the drink bar over there (we can choose whatever drinks we want) and we mix three drinks-
-together and the other person has to guess what's in it.
Ok, I know what's in it.
Ok, here I go.
That's not bad!
It's actually good?
It's not bad!
Barley tea first right?
Um, not barley, not barley.
It's tea, it's tea?
Oolong
Oolong, yeah.
Oolong.
Oolong, mango and orange.
There's no mango.
The mango-
Wrong!
No?
Wrong!
Oh..
I'm surprised you can't guess it. I thought this one would have the strongest flavor.
What's there though?
Orange juice right?
There is orange.
Calpis?
Yeah! Yeah, yeah.
Orange, Calpis and Oolong.
Fuck you!
It's not that bad, eh?
It's not bad
Ehh~
This looks so disgusting, you're evil!
Eww, it's warm!
It's not warm.
It is warm!
It's not warm.
It's warm!
Ewwww!
Ok well, coffee, I can smell it!
Ok co-
Holy shit!
Ewwww!
So coffee, that's one thing. Coffee, now two more things.
Just keep on drinking until you guess it!
Ewww!
I don't wanna drink-
This is gross!
What you made me, let's have it and compare.
Here.
Here, um, try the drink that you made me.
Like, try-
Oh, coke?
What?
Coke?
No.
Try this thing that you made me, it's like, compared with that, it's like...
You're such a jerk, this is good!
Yeah!
It's not even that bad!
There's no coke?
No
Eh~?
Don't look, you gotta keep on drinking! That's the game!
You gotta keep on drinking!
No!
You're not drinking at all!
There's definitely coke in here!
There's no coke!
There's some kinda soda.
Melon soda?
No
What other kinda sodas are there?
I'm not gonna tell you! You have to keep on doing it, that's the game!
I don't wanna drink it!
Have you tried this?!
No
You try it and see
It tastes like mould!
Ok
You bastard!
Ahhh!
See!
They're all cola though! Like coke zero?
Yeah coke zero
Ok that's cola, that's the same thing!
No it's not, it's diet coke!
It's the same thing!
Ok cola, coffee and one more?
Yeah, and you only have, you can have two more guesses and you have to drink all of it.
Oolong.
God damn it. You guessed it right, yay!
Oolong, diet coke and coffee!
It's like the worst mixture in the world, don't ever drink it!
Alright guys, we're outside now, we're heading to the station.
I feel really sick... I wonder why that is?!
Cause I win!
You did win. You definitely won, I could not tell what that was, it was just the grossest drink I've ever had in my life!
Um, yeah it's dark now and cool, finally. Yay!
Um, there's not as many people any more so that's nice.
This is what Akihabara looks like at night time.
Why's my camera so blurry?
There we go.
Game center!
Maids.
Maids everywhere!
Game centers and maids, that's basically all you see in Akihabara
That's Animate over there. So if you're ever looking for it, it says "Akiba Cultures Zone" on the building.
