00:00 John Daub: Hello everybody. I'm in Shibuya Station. This is the center of Tokyo. I thought I'd go live and share with you this experience that is Shibuya. This is the inside of the JR Station. You can see a lot of people buying tickets to go elsewhere. We just arrived. Up there is the map of Tokyo. It's really complex. Just to prove it, we are right here. That is Shibuya.

00:26 John Daub: For those of you with me right now, I'm going to take you out to the intersection, the one that's world famous, that a lot of people come to Japan to see. It's an energetic place. It's definitely only in Japan. I just happened to be in the area. I just finished a meeting nearby. I thought I would share Shibuya with you. Wow. Every time I come here, it's just as impressive as the first time. Every time. Alright, I'm going to go back now. I'm going to come out of the station and give you the experience that you would have if you were here with me. How about that?

01:21 John Daub: Alright, this is really cool. Are you ready? This is what it's like to exit Shibuya Station and enter Shibuya Crossing, Hachiko Crossing. Then we're going to walk around Shibuya a little bit. So you've just exited the station. You're now coming this way. I'm going to turn the camera around. I'm still with you. Here we go. Like right away you can see this place is just media insane. It's like the Times Square of Tokyo. There's the 5 o'clock bell. It's 5 p.m., so at 5 p.m. they let you know. I guess it's meant for the kids to go back home. But at sunset, you still got a little bit of daylight. But the lights come on, and it's really stunning.

02:15 John Daub: Right there in front is the Hachiko statue. This is where a lot of people will meet. They'll say, let's meet at the Hachiko statue. Everybody, look, everyone's getting a picture here. Can I get in the picture too? I'm in the picture. I better get out of here. Yay. Oh wow. Where are you from? Korea. Oh, Korea. Oh, very cool. Wow. So there's the Hachiko statue. They're from Korea. There's people from all over the world here.

03:30 John Daub: Alright. So, this is what the intersection looks like. It's pretty crazy, I know. Calm down. Relax. It's a lot to take in. This TV is new. I didn't remember seeing the Shibuya HITVISION. So that's new. Usually the big one was this TV right here in the front, above the Starbucks and the Tsutaya. This one is quite famous. This is the QFRONT. Ah, there it is. QFRONT.

04:14 John Daub: Alright. I'm not going to cross the street this time. We're going to wait one cycle and then cross it the second time. Just watch the people flowing. Run people, run! There's always one. So you have 45 seconds to cross and I believe it's 90 seconds now for the traffic to go by. And then there's another 45 seconds. So it goes in a pattern. Sort of like this. And we're going to cross the street in the next cycle. Take a little walk around. There's the Ichimarukyū (109). This is the 109 building. This is a very famous shopping plaza. Inside there is a maze of women's shops. This is what's called the shotengai (covered shopping arcade), but it's now called Center Gai.

05:37 John Daub: Basketball Street? I guess they really wanted to promote basketball. So we're going to walk down there next. And this goes towards Tower Records. If you go straight it'll take you to Harajuku eventually.

06:18 John Daub: Alright. Let's cross the street. We're first. We're first in line. It's a big deal for some people. For me it's not. I live here. But I'm doing this for you. Alright. She's saying aoi narimashita (the light turned blue). The light turned blue. In Japan the intersection light is blue and not green. Now we're in the middle of Hachiko. Very cool. If I stay here much longer I'm going to get hit by a car. But this is what the intersection looks like. Everybody. Hope you're enjoying this. That's the Yamanote line we'll be going through here. You don't have much time. They probably should not stop there. Stop there my friends from Korea. They've taken a picture before.

07:27 John Daub: So can you feel the energy? You've been here for about 7 minutes just like me. Can you feel the energy? There's a lot of energy here at Shibuya's Hachiko crossing. A lot of people will go up to that Starbucks. And up here is some people say the busiest Starbucks in the world. I just think it's one of the most expensive Starbucks in the world because you get... It's one of the only Starbucks that has a short size. Starbucks usually starts with tall size around the world. This one has a short size. And that's pretty unique. They charge the same as the tall size for the short size. It's to pay for the real estate I've heard before. It's hard to get a seat up there but if you're here early in the morning it's very possible. But one of the reasons to do it is because you want to watch all those people crossing the street.

08:17 John Daub: So there's Shibuya station. That's where we just walked across from here. I'm going to take you through Center Gai. This is Shibuya shotengai. And you can see up here. In Japanese it says here. Right? You can see it. Shibuya Center Gai. This is what this area was called. But for some reason they changed it to Center Gai a few years ago. Personally, very cheesy. People in Japan are typically short. It's not really a basketball place. But anyway, it is what it is. That goes up to Dogenzaka, up the hill. It's a very bright area.

09:01 John Daub: Alright. Let's make our way through Center Gai everybody. Thanks for joining me on this adventure. When I turn the corner here we're going to see a bunch of lights. One of the reasons that I like this street at this time is because the lights go up like five stories. And it's really colorful. Alright. Here we are. Center Gai. I don't remember this many tourists being here. I see it's like 50% non-Japanese. Now mind you, a lot of the tourists, the faces that I'm seeing are Asian faces. So for Westerners, they might not be able to tell the difference between Korean, Chinese, and Japanese. I can tell the difference because there's lots of reasons. Style, walk, face, language. I see a lot of non-Japanese people walking around here. It's more than 50% foreign. It's kind of shocking. It never was like this. So I can tell that there are a lot of foreign tourists making their way to Tokyo. That's just insane. It looks like a theme park. Doesn't it? What do you think? I don't think that they all like basketball.

11:01 John Daub: So this is the flow of Center Gai. This is a narrow street that leads off of Hachiko crossing from Shibuya station. And this is the way I usually go when I go to NHK. NHK is up this way about a five minute walk from here. I think they call it Center Gai because they want it to connect with younger people. And in Japan, basketball is like a teenage sport. It's not so popular other than that. You can see at this time of day, the sky is still kind of bright. It's not black. It's a lot of color. I love this time of night in this area. It's really a big media place, isn't it? So much marketing in this area. This is a newly renovated McDonald's that's supposed to be pretty nice inside. They have chargers and Wi-Fi and things like that.

12:16 John Daub: This is looking back onto Center Gai. Ah, I see Burger King's getting a little donburi. A little burger sticking out there. Very interesting. That's new. Alright, we're gonna keep walking around. So let's say goodbye to Center Gai. Let's go take a... say hello to another area. There are too many areas of Shibuya. We're gonna walk a little bit over here and then loop back around. This building has changed color a few times. Now red. I thought it was yellow before. This is where I did the Purikura episode on Only in Japan main channel about two years ago. This is Purikura no Mecca. Mecca of Purikura. And they have a lot of stuff on the third floor. Purikura! So many people.

13:30 John Daub: Alright, I'm gonna walk up a little bit this way. Going through here. There's a kōban (police box) right there. And there's some cheap restaurants in here that we go to when we're meeting up for events like dinners for NHK. But this is... let's go down the street. This alley. Oh, that looks so good. Omuraisu (omelet rice). Very nice. Family of skiers. Woo! So, we have here a lot of little cafes. Little pizzerias. Restaurants. People taking selfies.

14:57 John Daub: Ah, now I remember. I know exactly where we are. This is the way I usually go to get to the Apple store. Oh, they tore down whatever... what was that building that was there? They tore it down. Used to be a building here. Shibuya is really changing fast. Right now, Shibuya Station, the back part of it, is under heavy construction. And they're gonna have it... I guess it's gonna be another year or so before it's finished. But the new Shibuya Station is gonna be really impressive looking. That's when you know that the Olympics are almost here. When Shibuya Station is finished. There used to be a Uniqlo... Oh, this is a Uniqlo. It's still here. That's where I buy my socks and underwear. Because nothing else fits. Clothing for Japanese size is... For me, the shoulders are usually too narrow. The arms aren't long enough. So, I can never buy shirts here. But socks and underwear are okay.

16:26 John Daub: Alright. Let's move on this way here. I don't want any copyright music because it's probably copyrighted music. I'm just gonna keep talking like this to keep the copyrighted music from ruining this live stream. The Apple Store is gone. This used to be what the Apple Store was. The Apple Store is out of business? What? So, the Apple Store is gone. That's news to me. Oh, there's information. I actually need to get this iPhone fixed. Please visit apple.com. Oh, so they're renovating it and go to Omotesando Apple Store. I see. People still use phone booths. Are you using it? Nobody really uses a phone booth. First of all, they still exist. Second of all, are they using a phone booth? Very cool.

17:52 John Daub: Mujirushi has a cafe. Very popular store abroad. I'm seeing more and more of them. But the one in Shibuya has a second floor cafe. There's people hanging out there. And Rakuten has a cafe. This is crazy. Everybody wants to have a cafe and be in the cafe business. Here's a Disney store. I'm going to cross the street and go back. I'm going to go back around. I'm looping around. I'm going past Loft. The Loft is a store I used to go to a lot when I first moved to Japan because they had... Oh, that looks good. Look at this. They took like a loaf of bread and just cut it up. They deep fried it or something and they put it back in. That's just really interesting. So they took all of the toast from inside, cut it up into cubes and then put it back in there. That's really creative. I never thought about that. Oh, Japanified pasta. Very nice.

19:14 John Daub: So this is the Loft here. I believe it's still the Loft. So I'm going to be doing this tour for a little bit longer. Maybe another 10 minutes. We're going to loop around through Dogenzaka. Then we're going to conclude this super awesome Shibuya walkthrough. It's nice to share this experience with you. This is one of the places that a lot of people want to go through. I'm trying to find what's so attractive about it. What makes this place so special? And I think you can tell by the feeling that you get when you're here. It's just a lot of energy. Oh, there's a parking garage. And the car goes inside this tower somehow. I've always been fascinated with Japanese parking garages.

20:33 John Daub: So now I'm going to cut across to Dogenzaka. I know my way around. I am a Shibuya master. Self-proclaimed Shibuya master. I have to point that out. The thing with Dogenzaka is that it's a little bit different. The biggest Shibuya master is that you have to always, always be here to find out what's new. Because the area is changing at light speed. It's really changing fast. And you can never keep up with it all unless you are here. And I live on the other side of the city, so I'm not here enough to make it. To be a master, so I'm a self-proclaimed master of disaster.

21:24 John Daub: Alright. Here we go. We're going to go to the other side now. This is Yamada Denki. Or Labi. But it's really Yamada Denki. And it's a big electronics store. Amazon.co.jp is probably cheaper. You know, there was a... I want to tell you this story really quickly. There's this location right here. A lot of restaurants have been in this building. When I first came to Japan... Kamakura soup with noodles. Looks like a good bowl of ramen. Look at all the people in there. Wow. So I got a story about this location. Over the last 20 years that I've been here in Japan, this restaurant, this location has changed, I think, about 20 times. I'm serious. Every year there's something new in this location. When I first came here, this was Jackie Chan's Ramen. Jackie Chan, who loves Japan, he's here quite often. He had a ramen shop here. It wasn't that good. I guess he was just getting royalties off of using his name for the ramen, the noodle shop. But Jackie Chan's Ramen used to be here. Now it's Kamakura. Just an interesting side story.

23:22 John Daub: Wow. Maybe we can cut through this Don Quijote. Shibuya's Don Quijote is pretty massive. This is a mega Don Quijote. It's pretty big. Oh, this is gone. That used to be Outback Steakhouse. Outback Steakhouse is gone. Who knew? I'm not a Shibuya master.

24:00 John Daub & Guest: Oh, hello. Nice to meet you. Oh, I'm like in the middle of streaming. What are you on streaming? Were you like looking for me? I saw you and I was like, I've seen that guy. Oh really? I've seen me too. How's it going? Nice to meet you. We make videos for Red Slick Post actually. Oh really? I have John. Hi. Oh you live here? Yeah, I sent you a message a while ago on... I think the page, I don't know. I also do YouTube stuff. Oh cool. You want to plug it? Hello, how's it going? What's your YouTube channel? Tokyo Bro and I make videos for Red Slick Post. On Facebook mostly. That's my main job and she's in all the videos. Oh, hello. We have about 450 people watching. Wow, that's a lot. My hair's not enough for this. That's why I wear a hat. Because I always mess up. Are you showing them trivia? Yeah, I'm just walking around. It's time of night because the sun has just set and it's still kind of light but the lights have come on. Yeah. Cool, awesome. Nice to meet you. We're doing pretty good, right? You having fun? I'll check out your channel. If you messaged me, I didn't reply. I did a while ago though. Cool though. Have a good day. Enjoy the rest of your trip. I'll enjoy the rest of my trip here. Take care. Have fun. Cool.

25:30 John Daub: I like that when people stop to say hi. I feel bad though because if you did leave me a message and I didn't reply, I feel bad because I try to reply to everybody but there's no way I can keep up. It's impossible. It's like a full-time job to reply to messages. But he was very nice. Definitely check out his channel. I will when I get home. Okay, so now we're here in the other side of Shibuya. This side is a little bit wider as you can see. The street is made for cars, not people. This is the Tokyo Honten. This is the Tokyo department store. The main department store. In the summer, they have a beer garden on the top which is really nice. Behind me is this Mega Don Quijote. Do you see it right there? The Mega Don Quijote is brand new. There used to be a location this way. Right there used to be Don Quijote. And they moved location.

26:34 John Daub: I'm going to cross the street. It's a red light on both sides. Actually, Yahoo is very big here in Japan. Still. Yahoo Japan is owned by SoftBank. SoftBank owns Sprint in the United States. And Yahoo Japan is a separate company to Yahoo USA. Yahoo Japan is successful. Yahoo USA is not. They are totally different companies. Just the same brand. Up there is Love Hotel Hill. I'm not taking you there. Don't worry. Or maybe you wanted to go there. I don't think so. I'm going to shift gears and walk back now.

27:36 John Daub: Trekkers wanted to go to the Love Hotel. There's a lot of shady people up there. I don't think they'd be happy about the live streaming. A lot of people go up there to have love affairs. They don't want their faces to be shown. For good reason. Although we want to show them. They don't want it. You have to respect what other people want. I'm going to cut across this street. That's Shibuya Station right there. We've walked all the way around and now we're going this way. Dr. Czar! I just gotta... Dude. Two things. Number one. I'm not going to a Love Hotel with $10. That's not enough. That'll get me like five minutes. Now they charge in blocks of three hours. The typical price... Love Hotels have something called a rest and a stay. There's two categories. Don't ask me how I know this because I'm not telling you. Now a rest is usually blocks of about three hours. So you can stay in the Love Hotel for three hours. I guess that's the normal amount of time for whatever they do there. And then there's the stay. When I first came to Japan, when I traveled with my girlfriend at the time, we would stay. We were young. We would stay in Love Hotels at 10pm. They have something called a stay. And you can stay there at a reduced price. So it's usually like 5,000 yen to 10,000 yen. And the rooms are pretty nice. They have karaoke machines, Jacuzzis, among other stuff. Love Hotel is a theme that I might do on the main channel this year.

29:23 John Daub: Okay, now. This is Dogenzaka area. And this street is a really small pedestrian alley. This is the first Taco Bell that opened up about three years ago. It was a big deal. And now it's not. The line to get a taco here was four hours. The problem and the reason why nobody's here anymore. Taco Bell, if you're listening, the reason why nobody is in your line anymore and it's empty is because you charge too much money for a very small menu with like five items. And everyone who likes Taco Bell likes the dollar menu and likes the other items. You don't have it here. So sorry Taco Bell, I will not go to your overpriced...

30:10 John Daub & Passerby: Oh. Hello. You're welcome. Oh, it's an adult shop. Sorry. Okay. I'm sorry. I'm too young for that.

30:20 John Daub: Okay. So, yeah. What I was saying about Taco Bell is it's a very disappointing experience to go to Taco Bell Japan. I'd rather make the tacos myself. Wow, meat! Nice to meet you. It looks like aged meat. Wow, they have the price tags in here. This is kobe-gyū (Kobe beef) rib roast. So that's Kobe beef rib roast. Both of these it says here. Right here. You can see it, right? Kobe-gyū rib roast. Interesting. And they have a bunch of other cuts. I used to come here for yakiniku a lot. And see the yakiniku restaurant in there now. And the menu is pretty good. They have a lot of... This is kuro-wagyu (black wagyu). A big plate of kuro-wagyu. So this place looks pretty good. This alley is famous for having yakiniku. There's a lot of yakiniku restaurants here. You can smell it. Barbecue. You can smell it. Getting hungry. Tetsu. This is where Peter von Gomm and I had a chūtoriman (steamed buns) a couple of months ago at Tokyo Dome. Wow, that looks super spicy.

32:08 John Daub: Alright, there's a question about Kobe beef. All Kobe beef, all beef is sort of aged. They don't kill it and then just eat it right away. It takes about a month before it's actually eaten. This is what they told me when I did the episode on it. So all beef is sort of aged, but more and more aged beef is becoming a thing. Alright, now you can see the hill. They call it Love Hotel Hill. And that's a love hotel up there. And you can see the blinking lights. That's a love hotel up there. Hotel Diamond.

33:14 John Daub: Alright, now we're on the other side of Shibuya. This is a hill. This goes along with Route 246. I have eaten at that Kobe Yakiniku twice. Wow! Have you? It looks good, actually. I was sort of surprised. It looks really good. You're gonna have to check it out. I used to go to Yakiniku in this alley like several times a year, but I haven't been around for a while. There's Shibuya Station down there in the distance. Do you see it? You can see all the people. We're up on the hill now. If you go straight this way, you get to Sangenjaya and Futako-Tamagawa, and then eventually to Kanagawa Prefecture. I guess it's about 10 kilometers. If you go this way, you get to Kanagawa, which is not Tokyo anymore. So we're pretty close on the edge.

34:18 John Daub: We're gonna be ending this tour in about five minutes. By the way, I just uploaded a video on the main channel, the Fukushima Onsen Bath episode. It's doing really well. About 70,000 views in the first day, so thank you for watching that. I'll put a link in this video as well, because I put a lot of time and effort. I don't know if people know how much effort goes into making those videos. So when you watch a video, please like it or just leave a little comment on it, because it really... It's a lot of work to do that. I still do all the work myself. So I appreciate that very much. I'm actually standing off the ground on a flower bed. Akira A., thank you very much. My husband and I love your videos so much. Hopefully we can meet you someday. Yeah! I'm trying to do more and more meetups. That would be really cool. I'm gonna do a couple of them this summer. So if you're here in Japan during the cherry blossoms and in the summer, I think I'm gonna do some meetups. I think there's a definite possibility. I used to go to a Dubliners pub too. It's got a nice view. They got live music in there.

35:47 John Daub: Alright. Now one more place. Last place. I promise you we're ending this because I gotta go home. Last place. Now this is the Mark City. This is the other side of Shibuya Station. It's kind of a shopping mall. This is where the Keio Inokashira line runs and a couple other lines. Shibuya is a crossroads with maybe like a dozen train lines go through this area. I usually take the Hanzomon line and the JR Yamanote line and the other ones I don't use to get to Shibuya. But I also want to show you one thing. It's loud, isn't it? There's no sound pollution laws in Japan. You can just blast things from speakers here. I have what this is a one day pass. There's two subway lines in Tokyo. One of them is Toei and the other one is Tokyo Metro. I live on the Toei subway line. This is a Toei one day pass. But the thing I like about these, these are 700 yen or about $7. But the thing I like about it is that you can take the buses. I use this for all day but you can use the subway the Toei subway line and you can take the buses. And if you learn about Tokyo's buses it actually connects a lot of places where there aren't any subways. Like for example Shibuya to Roppongi. If you wanted to go from Shibuya to Roppongi there's a bus on the back of the station that takes you to Roppongi in like 10 minutes. You can walk it in 40 but there's no direct train line from Shibuya to Roppongi. Roppongi is kind of an inconvenient place from this area of the city.

37:47 John Daub: Oh gosh, I've eaten ramen here too. It looks like it's closed. Oh no, it's open. It smells ramen-y. Thank you very much my friend. It's giving you a little bit of a vibe around the Shibuya station. We have survived sunset. It is now full on evening. Once again this is the other side of Shibuya station. And in this it's a lot of lower buildings. This is the Mark City. Here's the Keio Inokashira line. This is the entrance to another one of Shibuya's stations. There's the Keio line. It's just, JR is not the only line, alright. You got the Keio line, the Odakyu line, you have the metros, the Toei, JR, Odakyu. There's at least a dozen train lines. There's Tobu. So, there's no end to the complexity of what is the infrastructure of this city.

39:05 John Daub: Oh wow. They're cooking something in there. Oh, I think there's a yakitori place. They cook it outside. And you can see the smoke wafting out. I like this area. Oh, is this it? I guess they got the windows closed. Oh yeah, look. Oh yeah. Usually the windows open and the smoke's wafting outside. But it's all inside right now. I'm gonna have to get Jennifer and Peter von Gomm and bring them here for a yakitori dinner next time. This area of Shibuya is not nearly as crowded. I don't think a lot of tourists come to this side of the station. Which is a shame. Because this is where all of the non-touristy restaurants are. This is where locals will go for client meetings or to go out and eat. Or go on a date. There's lots of places. This, if you go straight, you can see it just gets dark. So this is the edge of Shibuya. If you keep going this way, you go to Daikanyama and Ebisu. Which is the next stop. Next stop over. We've reached the end of Shibuya. Yeah, lots of little restaurants. Lots of yakitori. Lots of ramen shops. Quick eats. Places you can sit down. The prices are generally a little cheaper here. You can get through by vending machine. Which is cool. Oh, it's ramen. 730 yen for a bowl of ramen. Very cool. That was nice. I always wave to people. Oh, look at that little retro looking sign. Yoroshiku. Little teeny bar that you can get the serving in there. Yamagata. Another little izakaya. I like this. It looks nice inside. Lots of little places. I like this. I prefer this area of Shibuya. There's another little ramen place. Oh, where's the kitchen in the... He's got a lot of stuff on autopilot, I guess. He's autopiloting the... That's funny.

42:05 John Daub: There's a question. Where can I leave my stuff? You can leave it in the lockers for more than a day, but you have to pay to get it out if it's over 24 hours. There are some left luggage places in Tokyo Station. There's places where you can send your... In Tokyo Station, in the Nihonbashi exit. You want to write this down. In the Nihonbashi exit of Tokyo Station, there is a place that you can send your luggage. You arrive from the airport, you're going to spend the night, and then you're going to Kyoto, for example. You can put your bags there, your big bags, and send the bags to Kyoto, to the hotel, and just spend a couple of days without your big bags or having to worry about that. So your bags will go on to Kyoto. The price is like $20 per bag or something. It's pretty reasonable, and you don't have to deal with lugging it around. Or you could even send it to the airport, I believe. There's lots of luggage solutions. You know what? Japan is so geared up now for the Olympics and for tourists, they are definitely ready for any kind of situation you throw at them. A lot of thought has gone into planning those infrastructure for foreign visitors.

43:26 John Daub & Homeless Boys: Where's Waldo? Well, I found these four. Whoa. This is like an animation version of Hachiko. Oh, we're live right now. Oh, live? Wow. We're also filming. Oh, really? We're YouTubers. Wow. We're watching 630 people right now. Omran boy. Hello. Oh, this way? Omran boy. Wow, that's amazing. You're live? Yes, we're watching 629... No, 31 people. Hello. Are you a YouTuber? Yes, I am. Tell us about your channel. Omran boy. What's the spelling? H-O-M-E? Write this down. H-O-M-E. Homeless boys. Who's homeless? Ran. Homeless boys. Oh, yeah. Cool. I'm homeless. I'm not homeless. I'm homeless. I'm homeless. Homeless boys. What's your channel? Music? What is it? Variety? Variety. Comedian. Wow. That's great. Homeless boys. Katakana. I want to watch your channel. Katakana. I'm going to write this in the description afterwards. I'll write it down later. Please. Homeless boys. Hey. My channel is called Only in Japan. Only in Japan. I'll watch it with you. Really? I'm so happy. Thank you. You're live. Homeless boys. Thank you. Bye-bye, Homeless Boys. Thank you. Thank you.

45:35 John Daub: That's Shibuya for you. Cool. This is a really cool mural that I found. This has pretty much the essence of this area. Can you see it? We don't know what goes on up on the roof. Or what goes on up there. Right? You see up here there's lots of roofs around it. Apparently, this is what happens on the roofs in Shibuya. People sit there. They do magic shows. Apparently, they do karate. There's a sumo wrestler up there. This is really interesting. I love this kind of art. I could look at this all day. This is the construction for the new Shibuya station that they're doing right now. It's reflected in this art here. Look at this. This is funny. I love this. This is a reflection of what Shibuya is right now. UFO. Aliens. I guess that's referring to me. That's that building with the Yakitori I think that we passed. Very cool. Soba shop. Awesome. Look at all the people. This is Hachiko crossing. There's Ichimarukyū, right? There's the Hachiko. Very cool. I love this. I guess you have to look for Waldo. This doesn't look like a... Where's Waldo? I found my dinner. Very cool. Does anybody know the pin number? Very cool.

47:13 John Daub: Alright. So, I'm going to go back towards the station. There's the Homeless Boys. It's fun when you meet up with other people that aren't camera shy, you know, that are pretty cool about being on the show. It's the stuff like that that makes live streaming really fun because you just can't edit that out and I wouldn't want to. It's just that spontaneous moments that you just go with and you work with that. It's just too much fun. So, I love this channel. Alright, this is another izakaya. Looks good. And now we're back. We're back at Shibuya Station. Vintendo. Hi, John. I love your videos so much. I binge rewatched them all. Thank you. I'm hoping to come down to Japan in December. Cool. You know, I'm going to do more and more meetups. So, I regret that a lot of people have been sending me messages to meet them for lunch and stuff like that. I just don't have the time to do that. But, I think if we can do events where I can meet many people that want to meet up at the same time, I think that's more fun for everybody because you know, I like to meet a lot of people and then if people are meeting all the other people, it kind of takes the stress off me too, you know. It's hard to... I met up with one fan and we had nothing in common and it was pretty uncomfortable. He was really shy and he seemed really lively on the email messages. And I went to hang out and it was really unusual. So, I mean, like if there were other people there, it might have been more fun. Oh, Mark City. Yeah, that's what this is called, Mark City. Yeah. And back here is a maze of restaurants that I just showed you. And guess where we are, everybody? We are back at Hachiko Crossing. What a tour this has been.

49:40 John Daub: Cool. So, we're going to cross Hachiko one more time and then we're going to say our goodbyes. Very cool, very cool. I'm taking the Hanzomon line. What line are you taking? There's the Keio line. There's the Metro. There's the JR. There's the 100 yen Hachiko bus that takes you around in the area. It's just one big... Oh, we got about one minute before everybody starts crossing. No, less than that, like 10 seconds. I love the new taxis here. They look like UK taxis. Do you see that? So, Tokyo has changed like their taxis. Some of them are bigger to accommodate more luggage. Alright, here's the crossing. Last chance, everybody. Enjoy it. There's the Yamanote line going by in the distance. Cool. Yamanote line going towards Shinjuku. Tokyo. This is Tokyo. There's always a few people. They think they can make it. But the traffic starts really fast. Do you see that? Do not cross when the light is red. I've seen people almost get hit. And it's kind of scary. The cars do start coming flying through here. If it's red, don't start crossing the street. You can't make it. That's as far as it goes. There you go. So you feel the vibe, huh? Feel the vibe. Cause this is the time where I gotta say goodbye. Cause I got stuff to do. We've been going on for almost an hour. It's sad to say goodbye. But you know, I'm always doing another live stream. So it's not like it's forever. Subscribe. Subscribe and hit the notification button. And then you'll be able to see more. That's why at the end I always put that little subscription button. So we can meet again. Oh, there's a Yamanote line. How did they write the graffiti up there? I put 10 foot Wanto slow rev. I don't know what that means. Kids, stay in school. Your graffiti really stinks.

53:17 John Daub: Alright everybody. Thanks for watching this live stream. I appreciate all the support that you've given me. We've started a new year! 2018! This is so exciting! And I'm just getting warmed up, okay? There's so much content in store. I'm gonna be traveling again soon. I'm gonna be taking you to every single corner of Japan! So your support is definitely necessary. So thank you everybody. I'll see you on the next live stream. I'm gonna turn it around in the last 20 seconds. Enjoy Shibuya Hachiko Crossing. And these cupids. Bottoms. Bye everybody!
