    Haha great episode! its nice to see japan.

    It’s funny seeing Aaron like a full foot taller than everyone, i really
    feel bad for ya Aaron, you probably have to duck under things a lot.

    So, I thank you both for when you are feeling out of place in Nippon.

    Kanpai!

    Looks great, I hope to visit there myself one day!! The Shibuya 109 is something that looks really good to checkout and the statue of hachi also. I have heard the story of this dog too but I would like to hear you guys talking about it!

    All dressed up and going to a wedding in Tokyo, eh? Looking spiffy, Dudes!
    You need spiked pink hair to really fit in the “Shibuya Scene”, however.
    Guess that would make Aaron stand-out that much more!
    Great entertaining and informative video as usual, guys!
    Mass of people shoulder to shoulder a wee bit too claustrophobic for me, but great to see!
    Maybe you could do a video on Japanese weddings, what to expect, wear, customs, etc.
    Perhaps a lesson on “Speekit”?
    “Hachikou” is a beautiful story about “man`s best friend”, Richard Gere`s movie professor portrayal not withstanding (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hachikō).
    Kanpai!

    Ahhhh…..memories XD I think Shibuya is a deadly place for someone with agoraphobia or demophobia o_O it doesn’t matter how many videos you watch, you can only understand the craziness until you’ve experienced it yourself XD and the 109 building is awesome!!! *w* ‘though I think it’s a lot smaller than it looks XD

    I was in Japan the last two weeks , first time, and a few times in shibuya. You are absolutely right it’s a great feeling, standing there in the big crowd. HaHa me and my friend were looking for the Hachiko statue and coudn’t find it the first time, but once we had found it we saw how many young people meet there. Really amazing. Now most of japanes girls wear 80’s style pretty kawaii ^^ so I went to the Shibuya 109 building. The girls there are pretty awsome. Look very young, but have so loud voices, when they say Irashaimase :D Really I love it.

    Arigato kevin and Aaron, i love Shibuya, that clip brought back so many memories. i think Shibuya and Takeshita-dori are so exciting. You can spend all day just people watching, and great for shopping.

    I’m surprized ya’ll haven’t posted anything about the やきにく(yakiniku) resturants.

    Oh and another thing..

    With Karaoke, is it bad to walk out of the Karaoke room with your Karaoke slippers? Hahaha, I’m guilty of doing so when I try to get something from the drink bar.

    Did you guys change a video camera?! Coz I felt this clip has more high definition.

    Hachi kou is famous in US now coz of Hachi movie with Richard Gear.. Am I wrong?! I’m not sure how famous this movie.
