Japanese Vending Machine House of Horror in Akihabara

00:00:01 John Daub: You're live. We're live. We are live in Akihabara. Joining me on this adventure is Peter. Hi guys.

00:00:09 John Daub: Peter is a professional narrator or voice artist, right? Voice artist.

00:00:16 Peter von Gomm: Whatever you want to call me. We'll call you that dude who does the opening for Only in Japan.

00:00:23 Peter von Gomm: I'll do that. And I don't take a cent for it. I've never been paid. But because we're friends.

00:00:31 John Daub: And he's graciously decided to come out here and help us here in Akihabara. What you can see right here, some of the manga and anime billboards.

00:00:40 John Daub: This area of Akihabara, this is sort of the corner of this part because you have a really good view looking this way.

00:00:50 John Daub: You see that train line there? That is the Yamanote line. And that one is going towards Akihabara station. We're a little bit outside of Akihabara.

00:01:01 John Daub: But not far.

00:01:03 Peter von Gomm: Not far.

00:01:04 John Daub: As you can see, we still got a lot of anime, manga and characters and stuff like that.

00:01:10 John Daub: But... I'm taking you this way for a reason. What is it?

00:01:17 John Daub: We've kind of already taken a look around there because you saw the thumbnail for this video. Again, this is the Only in Japan Go channel. So this is different from the main channel. So don't forget to subscribe.

00:01:27 John Daub: Subscribe. Subscribe. But we've come for this right there.

00:01:31 Peter von Gomm: Okay.

00:01:33 Peter von Gomm: This is like Beverly Hills, probably.

00:01:35 John Daub: This is the property. Wait till you see this. Alright. You want to see this? Okay. I'm turning it around. This is the vending machine corner. Look at that.

00:01:45 John Daub: It literally is a corner. I mean, it's like the platinum triangle of Akihabara.

00:01:51 Peter von Gomm: We're going to go over there?

00:01:52 John Daub: Yeah. We're going to go over there. I just want to just let this soak in a little bit because, I mean, it looks like a dilapidated, you know, like from what, 30, 40 years ago that is totally in disrepair.

00:02:05 John Daub: And some dude decided to put on the first floor a hundred different vending machines. Just take this all in because now we're going to go move in a little bit closer.

00:02:19 Peter von Gomm: And somebody lives in the building, it appears. There's stairs leading up to the second floor.

00:02:24 John Daub: It's a little bit creepy. There's actually like secret stairs that lead up to the second floor. The only way he can... And how he accesses those stairs, I'm not really sure. But let's start from the end here.

00:02:33 Peter von Gomm: This is creepy.

00:02:34 John Daub: Yeah. This is a little bit creepy. It's creepy stuff.

00:02:37 Peter von Gomm: Like they've got giant, what are they, chocolate covered beetles?

00:02:43 John Daub: Yeah. This is really pretty random.

00:02:47 Peter von Gomm: Oden in a can. Yakitori in a can. Oh my lord.

00:02:56 John Daub: 400... I guess that's the prices down there. 460 yen.

00:02:59 Peter von Gomm: Right. And next to it are beetles.

00:03:04 Peter von Gomm: So this is karupisu, which is a... It's kind of like a Gatorade or something. It's a sports drink. It's a little bit sweet. And it's meant for replenishing your thirst.

00:03:18 Peter von Gomm: Right. Quenching your thirst. Replenishing the lost fluids from... Or nutrients or whatever. I'll just shut up and eat myself.

00:03:25 John Daub: Well, it's kelpis. Kelpis. Hello, hi. Thank you for the super chat. Five dollars. I'm going to buy something with that money. And it's going to be this yakitori, I think.

00:03:37 John Daub: Would you like to try some of this yakitori?

00:03:42 Peter von Gomm: I'll watch.

00:03:43 John Daub: Oh, come on.

00:03:44 Peter von Gomm: All right, I'll take it. I'll try a little bite. Here.

00:03:46 John Daub: All right. Do you have a... I get some cash. Hold on.

00:03:50 John Daub: So we're going to go for this yakitori. Can you hold the stick?

00:03:53 Peter von Gomm: I can. I can.

00:03:55 John Daub: All right. So... I don't know. Yakitori usually is a little bit better when it's prepared fresh, you know, at a yakitori shop.

00:04:06 Peter von Gomm: But when your yakitori shop closes...

00:04:11 Peter von Gomm: This lovely vending machine is your best friend.

00:04:16 John Daub: I guess so. But, you know, I think that's the price. I mean, it's a weird 460 yen.

00:04:23 John Daub: I'm afraid that it's going to take all my money. Okay, let's just push it.

00:04:32 John Daub: Is it warm?

00:04:34 Peter von Gomm: No, it's cold. Oh, God. Really?

00:04:35 John Daub: Yeah. I don't... Why would you refrigerate yakitori? They at least should warm it up.

00:04:40 Peter von Gomm: All right. At least I got my money back. I got the proper amount of money.

00:04:46 John Daub: Alright. Let's read the can here. All right. This has a lot of sodium in it and added caramel color. Basically, this isn't the healthiest thing in the world for you to eat, but it's going to be pretty cool to try some yakitori from a can. One more time. 460 yen.

00:05:09 John Daub: You ready for this? I'm trying to stand back.

00:05:10 Peter von Gomm: You're going to have to eat this too.

00:05:12 John Daub: You're going to have to eat this too.

00:05:13 Peter von Gomm: Troy, a big snake's going to pop out of it. It's one of those joke cans.

00:05:18 Peter von Gomm: Oh. Look at that. It's like jellied. It looks like dog food.

00:05:31 Peter von Gomm: Is there utensils?

00:05:34 John Daub: No.

00:05:36 John Daub: Wait a minute. Where are the forks? Is it you have to bring your own fork? Hold on a second. There's no fork? How are you supposed to eat this?

00:05:54 Peter von Gomm: Yeah. Well, look. Let's look inside here and see if there's some kind of place that has utensils.

00:06:06 John Daub: Alright, when you're given these situations, you have to sometimes improvise. Let's take it over here.

00:06:22 John Daub: Look at the gel coming. Are you getting this?

00:06:26 John Daub: That's nasty.

00:06:29 John Daub: I don't know what else to do with it.

00:06:34 Peter von Gomm: It's coming out. It's coming out. Okay.

00:06:39 Peter von Gomm: Alright. If we die, the emergency number in Japan is 119.

00:06:47 John Daub: Why don't you take the first bite, Peter? Stop holding the camera.

00:06:53 Peter von Gomm: Alright. Alright. I'll take the first bite.

00:06:55 Peter von Gomm: Just hold it like this.

00:07:01 Peter von Gomm: I'm feeding you like a dog. You better take it because it's dripping on your expensive leather jacket.

00:07:18 Peter von Gomm: It's not bad.

00:07:20 John Daub: Are you... You're just joking, right?

00:07:21 Peter von Gomm: I'm being totally serious. It's actually not bad. I think they actually rotate this stuff pretty regularly.

00:07:29 John Daub: Oh, man. I don't know how to get the... It's going to come out.

00:07:31 Peter von Gomm: Oh, you're right. I did get this crap all over my jacket.

00:07:45 John Daub: Why didn't they give you a spoon or something? I'm going to have to clean this up because the guy just... Turn the camera around. Alright.

00:07:57 John Daub: I don't think it's a good idea to be eating it like this. I don't know how to get this thing in front of this building. I don't even know what this building is here.

00:08:06 John Daub: Here we go. Yakitori from a can. Bottoms up.

00:08:14 Peter von Gomm: What do you think?

00:08:16 John Daub: It's not that bad. It's actually got a nice flavor. I was expecting the most vile concoction possible but it's actually quite good.

00:08:23 John Daub: It's actually quite good and I'm going to leave that there. So, just for now. I'm going to go back and get it later. We'll pick it up.

00:08:45 Peter von Gomm: So, it's finger licking good, huh?

00:08:49 John Daub: Well, I don't know. This machine has gone a little... It's so random, isn't it?

00:08:56 John Daub: Quail eggs? How are you supposed to get the quail eggs? It's weird.

00:09:07 John Daub: More cans of Calpis is meat sauce. The spaghetti's not even in there, is it? It's just meat sauce.

00:09:19 Peter von Gomm: So, it's for people that are heading home and they've got pasta at their house but no sauce?

00:09:26 John Daub: So, Marty Silver and Super Mr. Crazy Man, thank you for the super chats. We're going to be putting that to good use in this vending machine.

00:09:33 John Daub: And these are... For the train otaku? N gauge, 1300. So, I guess it's 1300 units. And then, again, you can get an N gauge train. Why you would want that, I'm not sure.

00:09:45 Peter von Gomm: Well, people collect trains, right?

00:09:47 John Daub: Yeah, but you would go to a store to do it. You wouldn't buy it from a vending machine. But you have the last minute gifts and stuff? What is that? Is that like a fishing lure?

00:09:57 John Daub: No, no, no. This is a wind chime. But why... It looks like some sort of prophylactic at the top there.

00:10:06 John Daub: My lord. Popcorn might be pretty cool. It looks like a really... You see the American flag in there. It looks like a really authentic popcorn maker.

00:10:18 Peter von Gomm: Well, they're kind of like the Keebler elves. They do kind of look like the Keebler elves.

00:10:26 John Daub: I think so. Want me to hold that?

00:10:27 John Daub: Yeah, just hold this for a second. Okay. We get 220 yen. Oh, man. You have 120 yen? Hold on a second. I might have... I have a backup stash of coins.

00:10:45 Peter von Gomm: I've got some in my coin bag. I've got a coin purse, if you'd like me to get it.

00:10:51 John Daub: Okay, now I got it. This is going to be crazy.

00:10:58 John Daub: Get one pack of popcorn. Okay. Peter's going for it.

00:11:04 Peter von Gomm: 220? It's about two bucks US.

00:11:07 John Daub: Yeah, about $2 for this. Let's see if it's any good. This is just random, isn't it?

00:11:16 John Daub: I mean, like, what the heck is... It's bizarre.

00:11:20 Peter von Gomm: Look, John and I have been... I mean, I've been to the store. We've been in Japan collectively for, gosh, almost 40 years, and we're always finding crazy stuff.

00:11:30 John Daub: It's never ending. We're basically saying we're a bunch of old dudes at a vending machine.

00:11:40 John Daub: This is Usu Shio Aji. So it's just salt. Usu is like a weak, weak salt flavor or something?

00:11:51 Peter von Gomm: Usui? Yeah.

00:11:52 John Daub: Usui is good. Usui is good for the one in the middle. Alright. Here we go. Are you guys ready? I think it's going to pop it live. Oh, just push the button.

00:12:00 Peter von Gomm: How does it work? Oh, here comes the cup.

00:12:10 John Daub: What? Why is it going over there? Where's our cup? Wait. Where's the cup, though? It got ripped off.

00:12:17 Peter von Gomm: It's in there. Oh, it's like a microwave thing. Right? It's going to pop it live.

00:12:24 Peter von Gomm: Look. Here's a demo piece. One got out and one got out. Let's go. Listen, listen. It's popping.

00:12:36 John Daub: I can tell you work on a children's show. You work on a kids' show.

00:12:47 John Daub: Sounds like fireworks. I don't know how long you sit. Everything causes cancer in California, according to Leopold. Thank you for that information, Leopold. We're intent... Oh, it's coming out. It's popped. Here it comes.

00:13:12 John Daub: Oh, look at the light. Turn the lights on. Camera. Look at the light. Okay, take it out. Take it out. Are you ready?

00:13:19 Peter von Gomm: Oh, it's warm. It's hot. Oh, it smells like a freaking movie theater.

00:13:25 John Daub: It smells like a movie theater. It does, which is good because it replaces the yakitori smell from before.

00:13:33 Peter von Gomm: Nice, nice. And there's like something on the top here. What's it say? Chew... Chewy... Oh, be careful. Be careful. It's hot. Yeah. Chewy. Atsui. Be careful. It's hot. Can you see that?

00:13:48 John Daub: HelloHi821. Thank you for the super chat. From Tacoma, Washington.

00:13:51 Peter von Gomm: Oh. From Jim in Tacoma. Hey, I'm from Portland, Oregon.

00:13:57 Peter von Gomm: It's actually good. Seriously. This is really, really good. Want to try some?

00:14:06 John Daub: Yeah, just get... Dump it. Force it in.

00:14:12 Peter von Gomm: Oh. I mean, come on. Where else in the world do you have this disgusting, antiquated vending machine that's making fresh popcorn? Japan! You gotta come here if you haven't been here already.

00:14:25 John Daub: It's pretty good for microwave popcorn, but you can have the rest of it because I read on the internet that it gives you cancer.

00:14:37 John Daub: I... You know, I don't... I don't know for sure. It's on the internet. You can't believe that stuff. Alright. This is really, really tasty. Nice.

00:14:44 John Daub: So... And with all this food, we gotta have some liquid to wash it down. Don't we? We'll get to that.

00:14:52 John Daub: I just want to explore this... this... this cave a little bit. In here, there's more vending machines that go inside this little corner. And then over here, there's another little corner with vending machines. They're kind of just random vending machines. And then over on the corner corner, this side, you can walk through. There's like seven or eight different vending machines here as well. All of them really random.

00:15:14 John Daub: And you see these? We're gonna get to that in a couple of minutes. But these boxes... I... I guess we've got a lot of questions for that.

00:15:22 John Daub: And I'm gonna go back to it. I'm gonna leave a popcorn trail. Just in case we get lost. Okay? He's leaving a popcorn trail in case we get hijacked or...

00:15:32 Peter von Gomm: Well, show them the stairs.

00:15:33 John Daub: Oh, wait. Hold on a second. It says there's three different tastes of popcorn. Oh, wait. So this... this popcorn machine we bought has one flavor. And it's... the arrow here is pointing and says there's a vending machine with three different tastes of popcorn. So we went to the wrong one.

00:15:48 Peter von Gomm: We didn't go to the wrong one.

00:15:50 John Daub: Well, this one... it's... It looks like the same machine. We're in a really dark side. And this one is more high-tech. This one has salt, which is the one we bought. This one also has salt. And this one has... Wait a minute! It says that they had different... Oh! It says it's all salt. On this side it says they're all salt.

00:16:19 John Daub: Okay? But the sign that pointed us in here said that there were three different flavors. It says there's three different flavors. The three flavors are Tanoshii... uh... Tanoshiiwaru Popcorn Jiro Hanba... Jihanki.

00:16:35 Peter von Gomm: It lies. Sometimes they change the contents of these machines.

00:16:39 John Daub: Alright. Here, have some more. I'm not having any more. Put it... put it next to the... Put it next to the Yakitori! Johnny, eat it! People are hungry in the world.

00:16:58 John Daub: Yeah. Okay. I'm starting to regret bringing this guy.

00:17:33 John Daub: I mean, he could see us from the windows up there. So, whoever is the owner of this, you can see it really is somebody's house.

00:17:47 Peter von Gomm: Well, they did the right thing by utilizing all the space down below.

00:17:50 John Daub: Well, they did. It's just that apparently they didn't go to they didn't go to school and learn how to organize, you know, like flavors. It's also, like, random. You have toys in with drinks in with food. It doesn't make sense to me.

00:18:06 Peter von Gomm: But we wouldn't be visiting this if it was normal, right?

00:18:13 John Daub: So, again, one more time, this is what... For those who are tuning in now, this is what the vending machine corner looks like. It's really random and really weird and, uh... I'm joined with Peter, who's talking to all of us like he's a children's teacher. You do do children's shows, right? You want to promote that? You do TV shows for the kids, right?

00:18:34 Peter von Gomm: Currently, I'm not. I'm not, no. Oh. Yeah, I'm just doing, uh... just voices for TV shows and TV commercials.

00:18:44 Peter von Gomm: Popcorn commercials? Brought to you from the vending machine in Akihabara.

00:18:49 John Daub: Again, here's a Hello Kitty water. I don't know why you'd want that. I've never seen this drink before. Apparently, it's very popular. Gabu Nomi. Very popular with the high school kids. It's melon cream soda. Let's pass on that.

00:19:15 Peter von Gomm: I'm trying to remember. Now, what we got going on in here.

00:19:22 John Daub: I'm not really sure. Hold on. I'm gonna change the camera. So this is another vending machine. One of those I guess you see in the US where they have chips that push out and land down in the receptacle down at the bottom.

00:19:39 John Daub: So, here in this vending machine, there's a lot of mysterious stuff. And again, it's very eclectic mix of things. There's the Yakitori in a can again, which we saw before. And then there's the milk tea and nectar. These are stuff that's not in normal vending machines.

00:19:49 Peter von Gomm: What is that? Is that a cake?

00:19:50 John Daub: Wait a second. That's bread in a can. Chocolate bread in a can. It says chocolate penetone.

00:20:01 Peter von Gomm: And it ain't cheap either. It's like almost a thousand yen. Wow, that is...

00:20:05 John Daub: I don't know. Should we go for it? That's a thousand. That's like ten bucks. I'll think about it.

00:20:15 Peter von Gomm: What about these boxes down below here? And these boxes here I see an unboxing possibility.

00:20:23 John Daub: So, hellohi821, thanks again. And Haisei Sensei, thank you for the donation to our food binge from Wisconsin. Thank you.

00:20:32 John Daub: This one has Japanese written on it. And each one of these is a story actually. Can you get up closer to it? This one talks about a guy who saved somebody's life at a train accident. Somebody was gonna commit suicide and he jumped and didn't save the man, but in doing so lost his own life. And this box is a way to remember him.

00:21:03 John Daub: I don't, I guess don't steal from your employees. But it's on the box and I don't know what's inside the box.

00:21:07 John Daub: This story is about, hold on. The guy who made this box met somebody as an izakaya and he was a thief. Professional thief who was imprisoned and while he was in prison he told a story about some dude with diabetes. And that's the story.

00:21:56 Peter von Gomm: So after 35 years of having diabetes or something. No he was in the pen I think. He was 7 years old when they met and he was in at 35.

00:22:07 John Daub: So if you can translate it better than me. And he met somebody with diabetes and apparently something about that. And each one has a story. We're gonna have to buy it and see what's inside.

00:22:24 John Daub: This one it says it's also a utensil set. So you have to pay 1300 yen to get the utensil set.

00:22:30 John Daub: This looks like a... Yeah. That's not cool.

00:22:39 John Daub: A lot of people gave me flack when I made the um onsen video at Takaragawa Onsen for eating bear. Remember that?

00:22:52 John Daub: This one here is bear curry. Are you kidding me? No. What? Oh my gosh. What the heck? And it's spicy too. For 1600 yen you get a can of bear curry. Spicy bear curry. Yeah it says Kuma curry from Hokkaido. And between it is a can of coffee. Two cans of coffee. This is cafe au lait and and in the middle is bear curry. And why? Incredible.

00:23:17 John Daub: Why is that here? There's oden. Oden is also really good. And look there's another story on a round tin of something.

00:23:38 John Daub: Alright um. I'm not gonna get the bear curry because I don't wanna um you know upset people. So but I think it'd be good to get that mystery box. Yeah let's get one.

00:23:51 John Daub: Hold my popcorn.

00:23:53 Peter von Gomm: Is it taking it? It took it. It took it. Hold on.

00:24:04 John Daub: Alright so let me get your feedback here everybody. I'm going to the chats. Which one should I get? Which one should we get?

00:24:20 John Daub: This box is the story about the company president. The company president who was a real bastard and stole the pension. This is a box with the story of a man who saved a suicidal person. But also died. But also died. And this box is about a thief who met somebody in the pen who had diabetes. Which one should we go for?

00:24:43 Peter von Gomm: I say 29. That's my pick. I don't know. A lot of people. Because it shows bravado and he's brave. He tried to save somebody and lost his life.

00:25:01 John Daub: Um alright. Take a pick. Gosh. Um. I think I'm going to have to go with the suicidal dude. And if it's good then I'll go for another story. I don't want to forget this guy. He gave his life to save a suicidal person. Although I'm very intrigued with the thief. I kind of want I'm curious about the thief. It might be like tools to Jimmy Cut wire. I could use some some like thieving tools.

00:25:37 Peter von Gomm: Alright so what did we do? Let's go with the suicide guy. 29. Punching the buttons in. Here we go. 29 and go. How do we go? This one? Yeah.

00:25:52 John Daub: Here it comes. Alright this is this is really exciting. I have no idea. Oh. Here it comes.

00:26:06 Peter von Gomm: Alright. It really is like Christmas. This is going to be this is going to be rich. What is inside this box? What is inside? Here we go. Just take her out. Okay.

00:26:13 Peter von Gomm: Oh it's cold. Are you serious? It's cold.

00:26:17 John Daub: Yeah you know what? If it's empty that would be really really really bad. Alright let's take it out of here. This place gives me the creeps.

00:26:40 John Daub: Let's go. Let's go in the away from here a little bit. You can see the trains going by so it's a popular popular place. Alright. It's nice and warm here.

00:26:48 Peter von Gomm: Let's open this letter here. Okay.

00:26:49 John Daub: Wouldn't it be great if it was in English? No it's not in English. We gotta translate it. Such luck. Oh man. It's really long.

00:27:01 John Daub: Doko no kuni. It's a riddle. Hold on. It's another story about a dude, about a 90 year old grandmother who who fell through glass and had to be rehabilitated. They're really depressing stories.

00:27:25 John Daub: And uh. Let's hope what's inside is a little more uplifting. Alright I don't know. I don't know. This is really giving me the creeps. I can't bear to wait. Should we open it? Okay. Let's open this thing. Alright here we go. Hold on. I'm gonna start. Open it up to the camera so that the folks can see it.

00:27:45 John Daub: So this is number 29 out of the vending machine which was... I'm just a little bit freaked out because I'm thinking that the guy on the second floor is like spying on spying on us.

00:27:57 Peter von Gomm: Okay it's a chocobat. Chocobat. Chocolate bat. Can you see that everybody? Alright let's see what's inside.

00:28:15 John Daub: At least it's you know edible. Well it's all about the story.

00:28:26 Peter von Gomm: Somebody put some effort into penning that story. And it probably had some some deep issues with the outcome.

00:28:39 John Daub: I guess that's a way, that's a way I wouldn't buy this. How much was this? I think it was 570 yen. This is about 200 yen at most. This is about 2 dollars so yeah this is expensive.

00:28:52 Peter von Gomm: You're not feeling you got your money's worth?

00:28:54 John Daub: Well I feel like I was buying the story. Don't you?

00:28:58 Peter von Gomm: I bought it.

00:28:59 John Daub: You bought the story. But you bought the story. You believed the story. And this is the product of that story about a man in his 50's who saved an old guy from killing himself. And from that story we got this.

00:29:20 Peter von Gomm: It was actually at a nearby station wasn't it?

00:29:24 John Daub: Hachinobu.

00:29:27 Peter von Gomm: Oh shit.

00:29:33 John Daub: Alright just leave it. We'll come back for it. I got ripped off. I got ripped off. What are in the other boxes? I don't know what are in the other boxes. And it's killing me. I lost my popcorn.

00:29:49 John Daub: Yeah that was on the ground man. I'm really curious what are in the other boxes now. So I'm gonna put a link in the description that tells you where the location of this vending machine House of Horrors is.

00:30:02 Peter von Gomm: Right? And there's no entrance fee.

00:30:06 John Daub: There's no entrance fee because it's scary.

00:30:12 Peter von Gomm: Here's what's inside the box. Let's take a look here. Chocolate bats. There's a few different. So like baseball bat. There's five inside. Five chocolate bats inside. Different flavors and peers.

00:30:34 John Daub: I find comfort in the creepiness of it. I don't know why.

00:30:39 Local: Excuse me. Who lives here?

00:30:43 John Daub: I don't. You don't? It's kind of interesting.

00:30:45 Local: It's famous. Oh it's famous?

00:30:48 Local: It's famous in Kachabacha. Kachabacha is a vending machine that sells chocolate in Japan.

00:31:00 John Daub: Okay. You missed it guys. This is the chocolate bat unboxing.

00:31:10 John Daub: You got chocolate on your teeth. What? Dirty bastard.

00:31:16 John Daub: But it's not um, hmm. How's yours?

00:31:19 John Daub: It's alright. It's like chocolate covered styrofoam.

00:31:21 John Daub: So the gentleman over here said that nobody lives upstairs here but this is a famous, famous place locally. And now you know. It's like the secret shrine. It's a secret vending machine.

00:31:42 Peter von Gomm: I like it. But you know what? It's the quirky stuff that makes Japan great. What is that? Cigarettes. Isn't it?

00:31:51 John Daub: No dude. Uh oh. Happy family. How do you make a family if you're wearing one of those? I don't know. I don't know. But I thought that was pretty funny.

00:32:15 John Daub: Should we do more? Your high quality you know... Do you want a drink or something? It's on me.

00:32:17 Peter von Gomm: Everything's on you. Everything's on me. Okay I'll have a drink and then I gotta go. And I'm sure everybody wants a drink.

00:32:26 John Daub: Hey. If you ever need a substitute for the show, I'm more than happy to do it. You think you could take over for me?

00:32:38 John Daub: Now you do a good job. He always does a good job.

00:33:00 John Daub: So tonight I'm going to the Tokyo Giants game at the Tokyo Dome. Here's a couple hundred yen. Pick a drink.

00:33:17 Peter von Gomm: Is it still there? A drink version? It's still there. Yeah let's not forget that. It's still there the yakitori. By no means we forget that.

00:33:32 John Daub: Alright what are you going to have?

00:33:35 Peter von Gomm: I'm going to get some tea.

00:33:37 John Daub: Mimi3000 likes your leather jacket.

00:33:39 Peter von Gomm: Oh thank you. Thank you. Yeah I like it too. It's very comfortable. And it's June. It's mid June. Usually it's very hot in Tokyo now. But today was a little bit cool. So I thought I'd dress cool.

00:33:51 John Daub: Okay. Get on with it.

00:34:02 John Daub: I'm going to pay for this. What should Peter, the guy with the leather jacket and sunglasses do you want? You know what? I'm thinking Hello Kitty water.

00:34:25 Peter von Gomm: I'm okay with any of these. Between here and here. Hey. Hello Kitty. That's fine. It's water. I'm totally okay with that.

00:34:45 John Daub: Alright. I got melon soda, melon soda, Hello Kitty, Hello Kitty, melon soda, Mugi Cha, Hello Kitty, melon, Hello Kitty, green tea. Okay. The green tea and the spicy ginger ale are out. Either the melon soda or the Hello Kitty.

00:34:58 Peter von Gomm: We did the soda.

00:35:06 John Daub: I was going to say Mugi Cha but you pushed the button so fast.

00:35:11 John Daub: Hey give me back my coins. He's trying to take my...

00:35:17 Peter von Gomm: 40 yen. You cheap...

00:35:19 John Daub: Don't say it's a family show.

00:35:21 Peter von Gomm: I'm going to leave the garbage for you. And now I'm going to unbox. Is that the right term? Unboxing a bottle? Yeah. You're going to uncap. Uncap. I'm going to tap. I'm going to tap my melon soda.

00:35:38 Peter von Gomm: Here we go. Can you hear it? Do you think that color is natural?

00:35:42 John Daub: Oh my gosh. I didn't know that that... That's a really... Oh dude. Can you give me a thimble in the cap? A little thimble shot? Thimble full? I'm going to try it too. I'm going to put my lips where your lips are.

00:35:58 John Daub: That is nasty. Hold on a second. Let's do it on three. It looks really... I don't want to say it but... It's glowing.

00:36:09 Peter von Gomm: It's glowing. Here we go. Nice. For fluorescent glow in the dark melon stuff.

00:36:20 Peter von Gomm: Yeah. It's carbonated. Very melon-y flavor.

00:36:23 Peter von Gomm: Oh that's all sugar. Right? Dude that's all sugar. Whoa.

00:36:32 John Daub: Is it a narration gig? Okay. You're going to be jacked up for that.

00:36:39 Peter von Gomm: I'm going to finish it in half the time.

00:36:40 John Daub: There's a shot of a man, a grown man, adult in a leather jacket, sunglasses, drinking melon soda. You're not going to see that very often. Screenshot. Screenshot.

00:37:00 Peter von Gomm: Alright. Thanks Peter. Thanks guys. Pleasure. And enjoy your tour. Thank you. My hand's sticky. Oh yeah. Can I leave this with you as well?

00:37:08 John Daub: You're not going to drink it? No. It's all yours. My treat. My treat. Honestly. Thank you. Wait. Do the only in Japan one more time.

00:37:14 Peter von Gomm: Alright. Only in Japan.

00:37:28 John Daub: See you.

00:37:31 John Daub: So it's now us. This is the Akihabara vending machine house of horrors. Where there's stairs. Did you see that inside? The stairs that went up to the second floor? The only way to get up to the second floor is to climb on top of the vending machine and get up to these steps. And it smells like a homeless person. At least that's the breeze that's coming through there. It's a little bit creepy. And now that Peter's gone it's even scarier. I don't want to think about it. I want to think about what potentially could happen.

00:38:10 John Daub: Is this a famous place?

00:38:14 John Daub: Yes. Look. There's a yakitori. Yakitori. And there's a mystery cardboard box.

00:38:32 John Daub: Let me take you one more time. Is somebody living up there? Honestly, I want to... The only way to get up to the second floor... The only way to get up to the second floor is to climb on top of this vending machine and climb the stairs. It smells like a homeless dude. I think someone is living up there.

00:39:19 John Daub: I don't know why I'm a little bit curious about that. I guess the only way is to climb this vending machine.

00:39:28 John Daub: This is a real house of horror. Look at this. I'm not going up there. I'm not going up there. I see the comments coming in. People are telling me, you're going to have to super chat me 100 bucks and then I'll go up there.

00:39:50 John Daub: There's no sign saying not to trespass.

00:40:01 John Daub: I found this cardboard box. This? I don't know. I bought this. I bought this.

00:40:11 John Daub: Oh, it's a chocolate bar. It's a chocolate bar. It's 540 yen. That's expensive.

00:40:24 John Daub: It's expensive, right? It was good, but... It's a little expensive. It's interesting. It's like a candy bar.

00:40:38 John Daub: Do you guys want something else? Is there something else that you want me to eat? I could use a drink. I don't want that melon soda. And Peter, I think he's not going to even drink it. Peter's probably going to waste it.

00:40:50 John Daub: Again, this is the only in Japan channel. You can watch it live. So I'm always live streaming on this channel. In fact, they're only live streams. So... Hold on a second. Somebody called me.

00:41:17 John Daub: I might go for this peach nectar. Peach nectar here. And that bear curry is sort of... I'm a little bit curious about that bear curry.

00:41:35 John Daub: So again, right now we're live. So it's sort of like a two second delay. If you haven't subscribed to the Only in Japan channel, please do. I've got some weird stuff coming up. And it's all unedited, unfiltered, which might be a bad thing. But it sure is a lot of fun to explore.

00:41:52 John Daub: This here is the bear curry. It's about $16 though. And I honestly don't think I'm going to eat it. There's also some stuff that's wrapped up that's a mystery. It looks like that could be just sardines or something. But because he put a story on it, he jacked up the price 190 yen. So it's $2 more just because he wrapped it. And I'm saying he, it could be a she. This is a little safety something. I don't know what the heck that is. I don't know. I really don't know.

00:42:36 John Daub: So again, I'll put the address in the description. You can hear the trains whizzing by. Akihabara station is just around the corner. I'm going to have to throw this stuff away. I can't leave it here. Apparently people have though. This just looks like a dump. Bizarro house of horror vending machine corner behind me.

00:43:01 John Daub: I'm going to take that experience in Akihabara. I'm going to walk back to the station tomorrow. I have another live stream in Akihabara. And it's food related. And I think you're going to like it. And probably going to stream about 11 am Japan time. 10.45, 11 am Japan time. So come back onto the channel and watch another live stream here from Akihabara.

00:43:25 John Daub: I'm going to walk back to the station. Find a place to throw it away. Japan doesn't have a lot of garbage cans. You have to throw it away at convenience stores. It just happens not to be a convenience store right here. At Akihabara.

00:43:49 John Daub: I filmed a couple of shows with this background. The Sega background. The Japan and India food episode. Come on back here. It's live streaming.

00:44:07 John Daub: You walk around with a stick. I think that guy almost got in an accident breaking his neck to look and see what I was doing.

00:44:15 John Daub: Alright, so thanks again for watching this live stream. Only Japan Go channel. Checking out the House of Horror vending machine. I appreciate the Super Chats. This channel stays in business for the Super Chats. It pays for the bandwidth because I'm streaming on 4G. Right now, Japan is one of the best 4G networks in the world. It's just not cheap.

00:44:36 John Daub: I'm going to leave you the last 20 seconds with a view of Akihabara. See you next time everybody. Bye.
