I’ve never seen someone buy so many items at a Japanese electronic store. You must have broken a record 😂 Thanks for having me along for the day man, was a lot of fun!

did you let him shoot at your studio? The set where he reviewed the products looked similar to yours!
Ikr
wonderful
I don't remember Chris having sliding doors in his studio
Oh my god! I never expected to see Chris on this channel! This is the crossover we DID NOT expect, but absolutely NEEDED!
They don’t care
Ikr, Total surprise a nice one at that.
Bro is soo affable he reached all the way to here
@@waasapaninleaving what he brought lol. He is someone with a lot of travel experience in Japan and one of the best content creators based in Japan. Surely he must have provided a lot off-camera
@@waasapaninI bet that Chris did a lot of the work behind the scenes, especially since he’s more of a local Collabs are also a nice way to show the Japanese KZheadr community towards a larger demographic
Bro didn’t wash his rice
Why is this a top comment even tho it has 3 lokes
Hiya
@@strikeuno13 cause I’m him
@@SymonPallasigue agreed
I was literally just gonna comment this..
To reduce the stickiness of rice id recommend washing it prior! It removes the starch and takes just an extra 5 minutes! (You fill the rice-cooker bowl with the dry rice and fill it with water, massage the rice until the water is clearer, and repeat until its semi-transparent)
Tech guys don't know the absolute basics of cooking, which can be an issue when reviewing kitchen tech.
@@cichlisuite2 this might be the absolute basics of cooking but not everywhere, you know
@@asas-eq5qt it's the basics of making any food. Washing it is step 1
Also unless it's a specific kind of rice (for example basmati), all rice in Japan is sticky by default, since it is eaten with chopsticks (if it wasn't sticky you would need to eat each grain of rice one by one)
I was wondering before he grabbed that bag of rice if he is going to rinse the rice until water is clear. And then proceeded to try to find this comment to see if anyone else called him up on it. Everybody! Wash your rice first, totally worth it. (Also cheap rice cookers are amazing if you eat rice regularly and dont have one yet!)
Looks like you guys had an amazing tech shopping spree in Japan! Next time round, how about scoping out some everyday gizmos. Would love to see how Japan's home-tech game stacks up against ours.
Considering how advanced they been getting lately, I'm expecting a Phone that you can scroll with only your eye's

Missed opportunity
Why does ur most view video have 10k views but u have 100k subs🤨
not much different tbh. they use the cheap chinese stuff from aliexpress

Not a rise, A PROMOTION
This is some crazy production value. The fact that they did this at an actual dojo, setting up the tvs, the everything, to test out all these stuff, the cameras, and lightning mist have been set up there too. That is insane effort
This is by far the best gadgets demo then anyone else have done. You rock!
This 40 minutes long video felt very short. Arun really knows how to keep his viewers engaged
I didnt even realise it was that long
Matpat did a vid on it lol. Basically he breaks the vid up into small 1-2 min sections(so just tiktoks lol) to have the benefit of the instant hit of dopamine of tiktok/short form content
We need more long videos
Omg I did not even realise until you commented he is so talented for keeping us so engaged he deserves the get way more subs.
how the fuck did I actually sit through a 40 minute video when my attention span is lower than the titanic submarine
Fun Fact, there was actually another company in Japan called "Logitec" (it's spelled the same as Logitech in Japanese), and they were in Japan before Logitech was able to open up anything in Japan, so Logitech had to change their name to Logicool in Japan only to avoid a name conflict.
So they came first but had to change their name?
@@EikottXDread it again but slowly
@@EikottXD It was Logitech who changed their name, not the Japanese company Logitec.
Sort of a Hungry Jack's situation I see
Yes, this is the right explanation why Logitech is Logicool in Japan.
Love your reviews but i especially love the visual effects an added animation. Nicely done.
The fact that he's never seen a trackball mouse before makes me feel old af
He hasn't seen an electric toothbrush or pants either apparently...
nor has he seemingly ever cooked rice properly, never seen the stock android camera (nor other basic android features), a standalone smart watch, etc
Or a portable record player….
Woah that didn’t feel like a 40min video knowing that our attention spans these days are all too short because of tiktok and reels. Arun really knows how to create engaging and entertaining videos!! 😮
its like 40 tiktoks/reels all put together, how long it is doesn't matter.
I didn't even know it was 40mins long until your comment!! 😮
me too i realize it after end of the video 🤣🤣🤣
I mean the "reviews" (I know they're not reviews I just don't know what term to use) are basically as long as a Tiktok video. It's my gripe with this channel, really. He's always making compilation videos that are incredibly shallow and unsatisfying. I like the idea behind the video so I watch it but after I'm done I'm always left feeling like I got nothing out of it. I guess this works for him so it's not gonna change but I WISH this channel was more in depth than "wow! so cool! anyway, next product...".
Woah i realized it from your comment 😮
Please make this a series with every country!!
You should definitely do this in Shanghai and South Korea as well! Tech in Asia is DEFINITELY different compared to western tech! You can find pretty much anything you thought you wanted without any fuss. My dad always brings home 4-7 packages filled with tech stuff, Japanese sweets, or beauty products because it’s way more convenient.
I'm Japanese and it's nice to see a video that's Japan-centric, especially from my favorite Tech KZheadr

I'm a huge fan of mrwhosetheboss and a huge fan of Abroad in Japan... It is the best collab I could've asked for!!!
It's incredible to see both great KZheadrs on one show. Totally love it❤
Never expected chris on this channel!this a xmas miracle!
And that for 40m!
MrAffable and MrWhosetheboss in the same video! that's called fate XD
I was in that store and some others when I was in Tokyo. This was definitely the best experience. They have almost everything you can think of. I wanted to test some mechanical keyboards and I had a chance to compare so many of them.
This is so surreal. I've been letting the Abroad in Japan channel build up videos to binge, and after the Frozen Frontier series, I went back to another video from Arun to finish it, and I was like "Oh yeah! There's a new video, I wanna watch that!" And now seeing Chris walk in was like... The only way I can express the feeling was imagine you watch a TV show, and then switch to another TV show, only to see the character from the other TV show nonchalantly walk in. Like, what?
like the mrbeast warehouse tour lol.
lmao fr I was just binging the current journey to japan series + this other daily series anothey ytber makes (sortedfood) and kinda was like "I should watch something else besides these" -- lo and behold chris suddenly comes out
my experience exactly LOL
The collab we've never expected to ever happen, but we're all here for it!

Great presentation - as always !!! Thanks man !
Whoever edited this good job it really shows the effort on your team (subscribed)
Akihabara is the tech town of Japan, and Yodobashi is just one of the few stores out there! I’d definitely recommend taking a stroll around the area 😊
They don’t care
Akihabara is actually the weeb town
Bic Camera also one of the Electric Store chain around Japan.
@@esouthernyou’re not wrong… 😅 Weeb -> Otakus -> PC Nerds -> Tech Enthusiasts??
It's more of anime/manga/etc then "electronics", also more maid or themed cafe per km² to any place.
This is an amazing collab, never thought I’d see you doing this will Chris!
Especially since he's not in the title or thumbnail 😮
Can you create a video about different types of processors?
Mrwhosetheboss inspires me... My parents said if i get 20k followers they'd buy me a professional camera for recording begging u guys literally begging u guys literally begging...
A collab I never saw coming, it was pleasure seeing Arun with the most affable man on Earth.
I’m a drafter who uses that trackball mouse with Civil 3D every day. Once you get used to it fine control with your finger is no problem at all. I have never used the tip of my thumb to control it. It just takes some time to get used to it. Also changing the sensitivity settings will help greatly. I enjoyed the video!
The collab we didn’t know we needed. Truly amazing!!
Why? That segment literally served as much purpose as him ordering online
@@DpMario11 Because we like AbroadInJapan that's why
@@DpMario11because is a collab with mr affable himself
i se aa TT fan@@renaub4340
the collab we did not expect to blend so well. love it
Logitech has been making trackball mice since the beginning. You can buy them here too they're just not that common. People with occupational injuries sometimes use them.
Aaah those little trackballs you could clip on the side of your (luggable) laptop back in the day, before the touchpad
I'm in the UK and I've had a trackball mouse for many years, once you get used to them they are so much more comfortable and easier to use and also feel so much more intuitive than a normal mouse, wouldn't swap for anything.
Very awesome video! I'd love to visit Japan someday and check out the culture for myself. Thank you for sharing!
What an amazing collab! I watch his Japan content alot and this is really cool to see.
19:45 oh no, He did not wash the rice
the collar that I needed!! Abroad in Japan is my favorite channel
I used to work in an IT store in Denmark, and roughly half the products you showed off here we sold in that store as well.
Thanks for taking us on a tour of what I think is the best toy store ever. 4:35 Trackballs have been around since the arcade games of the 80s. I can't believe this is the first time that Arun has seen one.
I was going to say, we had mice like that decades ago.
I had one of those as a kid! Love em
Similarly, he was shocked to see a superzoom point and shoot camera/nikon coolpix…a common old and cheap bridge between a point and shoot and DSLR; a holdover from cheap film zoom cameras.
Boiling eggs to replace the trackball
It is used by those who have mobilty issues as well
How do you never run out of ideas? Genuinely one of the best tech channels on KZhead, great work!
Yeah he one one the best
Wtf are you talking about? Every video of his is "look how much money I spent on this cool stuff".
@@superduperkid3143 you sound jealous “tech channel spends a lotta money buying tech”😮🤯😱
@@superduperkid3143cuz after a while having a lot of money gets repetitive, you have to find creative ways to use it for a video and he isn't even showing off the money itself
@@superduperkid3143 then why are you watching it? lmfao you just gave him more money by commenting too
Your socks are inside out 😂 Love your videos though mate. Keep up the good work 👌
one of the best mrwhosetheboss videos of all time
21:42 That's because Logitech started operations in Japan in 1988, and by that time, there was already a company called Logitec in Japan which started in 1982. So, they renamed themselves as Logicool in Japan to avoid using the same name.
Thanks for that info friend!
This is why I love Arun's comments unlike those bots in other comments we have people providing information here
@DeepanshV yeah, that's always a great thing. After watching I always scroll through comments
I think I can go an entire day exploring this shop without rest or food, genuinely amazing.
Don't worry, I don't know this particular one, but most Yodobashi also serve food and have rest areas.
@@DavidBhimself this Yodobashi Akiba has a whole food court filled with mid and high end restaurants on the top floor, so for sure worry not
Considering how popular Shokz are in Japan, I thought for a second this was one of the things you picked. I have an older pair and they are pretty useful when riding a bike. It is fun to see you have fun with Japanese tech.
Nice to see the colab with Chris Broad! Yeah, as an American, I grew up thinking rice was just there to help fill you up and not taste good or have any taste at all really, but when I went to Japan, I was floored at how good rice can taste.
your one of my favorite KZheadrs Arun. you always have a fresh happy smile on your face
If the world is overflowing with Moe-illustrated European girls, will real women's groups start regulating them?

Smile please

Bruh is that you
19:41 ALWAYS WASH YOUR RICE 😤
Why is everyone reacting about him not washing the rice? Like is it really that big of a deal?
beacuse it is as it removes the unessary starch and makes the rice fluffy@@ahernplays2239
@@ahernplays2239there are lots of starches and some sort of powdery substance in the rice so it’s important to wash it away, pus there might be something dirty in the rice so it’s probably way safer by washing it
nice video brother, really enjoy it.. hope you do it more in the future, that place like a heaven for us bois 🙌🙌🙏🙏🤣🤣
I love this collab!
I was in Japan earlier this year and had NO idea this store existed prior to going to Akihabara. I kinda "accidentally" stumbled into this store and decided to venture through almost all the floors and...my ADHD brain could *NOT* comprehend what I was witnessing in real time 😂 All I remember is wanting to buy something *so bad* but because I was immensely overwhelmed by the sheer choice of literally ANYTHING I could want, I left empty handed. Yodobashi left me mentally drained for the rest of the day. I still can't believe it exists! If you're visiting Japan and want your brain to explode, go check it out!
I feel like that store would induce a panic attack for my brain from input overload 😅
@@DominusFeles well, you "feel" correctly! Because that's literally what happened to me and I almost went into a corner to sob in from how much visual processing I had to do 😂
Its right in front of the station. Like directly in front. No joke my friend
Honestly its kind of off topic for the video but i love how you made that sponsored bit feel so natural part of the video. I only realised it was an ad from you saying to click the link below for more info.
I enjoyed this content so much!
What a miracle I have been watching both of these guys for ages and never expected this to occur in a million years
the timing of those memes is just *chef's kiss*
Oh hey youtube
Hii KZhead I didn't notice you ❤
hi KZhead lol
bro give me google
🤣🤣🤣🤣 bro seriously I can relate I like those memes to it's so cringe worthy right 🤣🤣🤣
Everything is soooooo expensive!! But I enjoyed every second of this video! (brilliant editing!!)
More like this please. Feature length presentations is a go
That trackball mouse is something I used at my job back in the late 80s, early 90s. You’ve never seen one before?! This was a great collab! Love to watch both yours and Chris’s channels. That store completely blows my mind. I could be in there for days… Love the longer video, btw. This was enjoyable to watch.
The trackball part made me laugh. Something incredibly common in the US even up to 2005ish. I have used both thumb and index trackballs and I am only 34.
Yeah. It blew my mind that a tech professional had never seen nor heard of a trackball.
They were (and are still) pretty popular in the pro studio market for audio consoles. Personally I hate them but if you don’t have real estate to move a mouse they do a great job. People that use them though swear by them.
A coworker in my office is using one right now.
My dad had one when I was a kid and when I saw the ball could pop out I was constantly stealing it so he’d hang out with me which is…a lil sad but also funny.
This is the crossover I didn't know I wanted. Love both of these channels
I'm actually surprised the speaker is the first item that came with a pair of white gloves. I have purchased a LOT of products directly from Japanese manufacturers and almost ALL of them have a pair of cloth white gloves in the package. It's a thing over there, and personally I think it's a good thing.
I REALLY LOVE THIS KIND OF VIDEOS
I live here in Tokyo and it's good to see people enjoying Japan. By the way, even Yodabashi Camera is one of my favorite stores. I buy all my electronics from there. This shop is in Akihabara, popular for anime and electronics. I'm hope you enjoyed it!
I miss that so much. Best day out was shopping at Yodobashi and then heading upstairs for sushi. 🍣🛒😭

I saw the air duster and was sold - instantly looked it up at amazon and ordered one. Its so much easier cleaning the keyboard then removing all keys and do it manually!
Arun hanging out with Chris looks like a drunk dad hanging out with his son buying toys 😄😀
40 minutes never felt so short amazing storytelling pace and editing 😍😍👌👌
In the US, we used to have a department store chain before Internet shopping took over. It was called Best Products. You would shop and check the items to make sure they were what you wanted. You would then take the ticket, pay for the item, and they would bring it from the warehouse in the back to the pick up counter. It was marketed as a catalog store that allowed you to test out the products before buying.
Funny seeing you drop the ball out of the Kensington Track mouse! - I own one and literally the first thing that happened as I opened the box was exactly what happened to you, dropped the ball and chased it across the floor!
Fun Fact: Japan is home to renowned technology companies such as Sony, Panasonic, Canon, Fujitsu, Hitachi, Sharp, NEC, Nintendo, Epson, and Toshiba.
Ricoh too. Huge in printers and cameras/imaging devices. Owns Pentax.
Reeeeeeeaaaalllllllyyyyyy????????
8:26 I am seriously gonna cry now!😭 I've always had baby fever, but this? This makes it BUY-able!
Wait you didnt wash the rice😨😰😱
I didn't even realize that
Oh shit
Oh no, uncle Roger coming for his ass
The brand BOSE has a neck speaker (wireless and Bluetooth) like the one you bought. I tried one at the store and was super comfortable. The sound was incredible almost like the sound is around you, different experience...
The collab I could never have dreamed of. Thank you for making this you guys
This is a dream collab! For a long time I watched you guys' channels and appreciated you in every video, but seeing you conquer the biggest electronic store together is such a nice surprise. Japan lifestyle carries both futuristic prospects and the relics of the past, so any kind of video from there is bound to be the most interesting tech and lifestyle content.
Trackballs were popular here in the US back in the early 2000s. I had a few Trackball Opticals from Microsoft over the years and I LOVE trackballs! Sadly, aside from like Logitech, they sort of vanished. I used to use them to play first person shooter games and got very proficient using it. My friends never understood how I could do so well, using a trackball lol 😊
The amount of humor in this video is just giving
Two of my favourite British KZheadrs... in one of my favourite countries... in Yodobashi Camera! The first thing I did after arriving in Tokyo was spend half a day exploring this one shop! 😄
Half a day? Lucky! I went there some time after it just opened and walked around to the point where staff told me the store was closing.
Thanks for the video
Thank you for sharing
The collab we didn't know we needed! As a tech and Japan enthusiast myself, the sheer scale of the store still surprises me to this day. Hope I can actually make it there in my lifetime
Japan is known to have unique and almost impossible tech, I have watched other creators show and review them and I must say I am impressed
Lol
Time stamps should be there.
Why does it feels like this video is sponsored by Balmuda 😢
Just loved the entire vibe of you being in Japan. Especially that mat in the room, have only seen them in Anime. I really love their decoration style. And the Store feels like a heaven. I really want to visit Japan Once.
It will not stay at "once". Once you have been there, you will go there whenever you can afford to.
@@patricko9479 I think yes, cause it's so full of culture. And It has good food, friendly people.
Nice! The collab we never knew we needed, and definitely didn't deserve as well!

I might get banned for this but at 13:41 he says it feels like moving up from a kid you to a ADULT TOY

Best KZheadr ever. I love watching you. Nobody even comes close❤
mrwhosetheboss can you reply...pls
me sad
The "ball mouse" is actually called a trackball, used be quite common in the 90s as an alternative to a regular mouse, still used with a lot of CAD work.
3:25 as someone who used to work for Apple at Best Buy the reason they have that set up is because Apple want every store to be the same so customers will get the same experience every time. Also when we set up displays we have to measure how far everything is so it’s the same
for the neckband speakers, they're also amazing for if you're in a noisy environment where you also still need to hear. let's say for a warehouse worker. earbuds don't work because you might have heavy machinery like a forklift rolling around you occasionally, but they still allow music speakers. the neckband speakers would be great for you! i actually personally use a pair every day for my own job as a forklift operator.
Bose and Monster sell their own neck speakers and I own a set from Monster for being cheaper than Bose.
And you don't need to go to Japan to get some
some higher end earbuds have Transparency Mode where the bud's built in mic actually allows you to be able to also hear your surroundings
@@gigihanmandarinI've got the Bose one, and I'll be very sad when it dies because they're discontinued
