00:03 John Daub: Hello everybody, welcome to Harajuku Station. We are now in one of the most famous neighborhoods in Tokyo. Definitely one of the most well-known for international tourists. This is the new station right here. We're going to be taking a walk around the Harajuku neighborhood down Takeshita-dori (Takeshita Street). But first, this is a very important place to start off with. This is the new station, built a few years ago. I actually have another live stream with both of the stations standing next to each other. But as you can clearly see, that old station is no longer there. They've torn it down and they're going to be building a reproduction of the old station.

01:46 John Daub: There is a piece of paper here that kind of explains it from JR (Japan Railways). So I'm going to show you that in a second. But it is sad right now not to see that old building, I believe built in the 1910s, 1911 or something like that. That's gone. But not to worry, the reproduction of it will be built in a couple of years, probably following the Tokyo Olympics. All right, let's look at this site right now. Here's the brochure, the information from JR. So that's what it used to look like. Here's the new station next to it. And this was a very old building. It was an iconic building. It survived World War II, the bombings of that, and had been standing strong since then.

02:06 John Daub: And due to structural integrity, it just was too weak if there was a major earthquake. And it was too small to accommodate all the people. They had to tear it down and they're going to rebuild a new one exactly the same way using just stronger materials. And I can show you here the site. I can raise the camera a little bit higher so you can see what it looks like down there. Is that interesting? Did you see anything? I couldn't see down there. How are you doing, everybody? We're going to cross the street now. I think it's kind of cool.

02:39 John Daub: Actually, maybe I'm not going to cross the street. This used to be a much smaller intersection crossing. It used to be like a Snoopy Peanuts shop. And I don't know what it is now. Cosme? I don't know what that shop is. It looks brand new. And next to it is a shop that's been open now for a little bit of time. This is an IKEA, said in Japanese, IKEA. It's quite big. I think it goes down to the basement and a massive Uniqlo also going down underneath, subterranean level. And I don't know what these are here, but it looks like apartments and probably not cheap.

03:12 John Daub: So in this live stream, again, we're going to be taking a neighborhood walk, taking a look at how this area has changed. I intend to go to Akihabara really soon, too. So click that subscribe button. A couple of businesses were lost while we were at home over the last couple of months since the last Akihabara update. Again, a little bit is left from the old Harajuku station. This is a walkway that led into the old building. But this is more made out of bricks. And despite the cracks in it, a newer structure. For those that haven't been in Japan for over a year because of the pandemic, welcome back to Japan through the live streams. Love to hear from you in the live chat.

04:00 John Daub: There's the Yamanote Line stopping at Harajuku station on its way to Shibuya. Love is in the air. Well, at least it's above me right now. And Takeshita Street's not too far away. I was thinking about taking you to another neighborhood on the other side. Beyond that gray building right there, in the back there, there's a lot of celebrities that live in this area. I have a small story that I'm going to tell you, which is interesting. And one day I will take you back there. But I think it's pretty interesting to look at Takeshita. Again, because the Olympics are coming and so many people want to be here for it. This is a huge tourist attraction and worthy of taking a quick look at.

05:03 John Daub: So the changes here are noticeable. So this is like a smoking area. That's interesting. That wasn't here before. And there's some sort of construction going over there. You see the dolphin jumping out of the fake plastic water? That's a hole in the ground. So I'm going to show you a hole in the ground at Harajuku. Very exciting. That's my friend Dan dropped one of his ice creams there, I think. Made a big mess. Fun to tease him about that. And then down here you can see a massive hole in the ground. That's pretty cool. There's a member of the Emperor with a lightsaber right there to keep us all safe.

05:44 John Daub: Alright, this station is still here. This is an old part of Harajuku, but this is more Showa era, not Taisho. Alright, check it out. This is the famous view from up above. From the station looking down on Takeshita, you can see there's still quite a bit of people. But it's not as crowded as it looks. There's still some ways to social distance, but almost everybody has a mask. There are anti-maskers and anti-vaxxers all over the place. That's fine. You live with it. But we're outdoors on a sunny day. Should be okay to explore today.

06:23 John Daub: We're going to take a look and see what has changed down Takeshita Street. So join me for the next 15-20 minutes. It's probably 30 as we walk around. If you see something interesting, let me know in the live chat. Try to stop me and I will take a look around. Alright, masks. Stylish masks are a thing. That's interesting. More masks. It's more stylish coffee. This is a Yoshinoya. That wasn't here before. Interesting. It's actually gotten cleaner. The facade of this McDonald's looks pretty clean too.

07:25 John Daub: Whoa, mango smoothie! Yes, please. Right now, McDonald's has an Oyako Teriyaki burger going on here, which is a chicken and egg, oyakodon. That's kind of interesting. Chicken burger and some spicy burgers. And there's a Furikake Teriyaki burger. That looks really good. I'm not a big fan of Mickey D's. I haven't eaten it since I ate one in Kichijoji a while back. Alright, in this area, pink reigns supreme. Again, this used to be... I don't know if it is anymore. But this definitely used to be like the old...

08:16 John Daub: Wow, there's a big camera here. What? This used to be just a Daiso. But it seems like there's a big camera. And I'm sure that they were doing that to appeal to the tourists. And the other half is Daiso, which is still here. That's a big change. I don't remember there being a big camera there. But it is there now. The electronics industry has been decimated because tourists visiting from China accounted for a huge percentage of the sales. Now, it's a big hole right now. And everybody's in the red. I can smell it. We got sweet crepes here. And the Purikura (photo sticker booths) is still here. Which is good.

09:02 John Daub: That Purikura is no men allowed. I remember I tried to go down in there. And they said, nope. You must be accompanied with a girl. Because a lot of dudes go there to try to pick up ladies. But if you just take a look at me, you know those days are gone for me. I'm like off the market, dudes. Okay? Nice. Wow, Hachiko. Hachiko's rocking right here. Check these bags out. Samurai Hachiko. Cherry Blossom Hachiko. Mount Fuji Hachiko. And Hachiko Crepe Hachiko. Those are pretty cool bags. I don't know if that's actually Hachiko. That could be just an Akita Inu. Which is the Akita version of the dog.

10:01 John Daub: I'm going to look back right now, just to take a look at Harajuku Station. Over the last 10 years, 20 years for sure, the changes are remarkable. Although you can still see remnants of that old era. This building looks like it was here back in the day as well. Sheirok Shishi. Closest I can get to Japan at the moment. Thanks, John. In your humble opinion, what's the likelihood Japan will be open again in November? Mahalo. Ah, that's a good question. My gut says it's... Look, I'm very optimistic now because of the vaccine rollout is going much better. So, I think there's a good chance October seems to be the target. But I think it's still going to have asterisk marks and depend on the country that you're at.

11:09 John Daub: This looks like it's closed up. Oh, there's the Baird's Beer. That's a craft beer place at the end with the red flags there. It's pretty good choices. Although I've heard that the service is suspect. Sometimes they can be a little bit curt. So, I'm not... I can't say for sure, but I know Qantas Airlines in Australia was going to renew the international route to Japan in October. But they moved that back to December apparently in a press release. So, it's hard for me to know exactly. But November seems like right on the fringe. I love these t-shirts with really cool... I don't know. What do you call them? Like patched in there. It's pretty cool. Oh, and there's some Demon Slayer t-shirts which seem to be all the big thing right now.

11:56 John Daub: Of course, Goth is still big here. But it's not as big as it used to be. Let me get some distance and I can show you. There's the Thank You Mart. That was the focus of my Harajuku transformation back in 2013. So, this shop has been here for ages. You can see the building is quite old. But as you just see, this is the first Goth shop after walking for over 100 meters. So, that's kind of unique. I don't know if the Goth scene is still... It doesn't seem as vibrant or as big as it was before. Wonder where they went. These things just move to different locations quite often.

12:32 John Daub: You see some street food on the side here. That's chicken. Interesting. Look at this pop-up. Oh, look at that. Street food. No, I'm not going to get it because this is super unhealthy. Look at that rainbow cheese. It's pretty nasty. But I'm curious too. And there's some bubble tea. So, they're still doing pretty good business here. People are still here despite the state of emergency. Things are open. People are just taking precautions. Give me a quick look around here. I did see back here. My friend's shop is still... Looks like it's still okay sort of.

13:35 John Daub: That's ACDC Rag which is an institution here. Right there. I'm going to have to talk to my friends and see how they've been handling the changes on Takeshita. I'm thinking of doing a Takeshita Street history episode for the main channel. And I know the right people to get that done. But this used to be a different shop. This cat one. I think that was the ACDC Rag. They used to have four or five different shops down here selling youth fashion. It was like an experimental shop for youth fashion. Check this out. This is a strawberry... They call this what? Strawberry specialty shop. Do you think I should get something like this? I miss the delicious crepes there.

14:45 John Daub: So thinking more pessimistically. Do you think international travel will be back by next April? Xana Dude writes in here. I think yes would be the answer to that. I look like I'm not the type to eat a stick of strawberries. Do you think I would fit in? No. This looks like I feel uncomfortable. See if I can find a crepe. There's a lot of things on this street that are making me feel a little bit uncomfortable. It's like headless people looking at me. Let's keep moving. Looks like another... Some weird food here. Oh, this is that cotton candy that Eric was telling me to get. We tried to film here once, but they wouldn't let us film with cameras and the line was too long.

15:29 John Daub: Wow. This is closed down here. This spot. This used to be a cafe. I believe it's closed down now. Here's the Disneyfication of Takeshita Street. Let me move a little bit further to the other side. Get a different perspective. They're building... They tore down an old-fashioned shop. And they're putting in a new one. They're putting in another taller building that looks more like Disney. Here's a map of Takeshita. It's a pretty nice map. So let's go take a quick look at this. But the changes are still going on pretty strong here. And I'm against change. Because I like the history of Takeshita. I want to protect that.

16:24 John Daub: So we started here at the JR stop and we walked down here. This is pretty fun to watch it in one of these fun, colorful... There's the McDonald's upside down. The big camera. And the Daiso is listed on the map as well. Interesting. There's a Wendy's? I didn't see that. Some of this stuff might have gone out of business between now and then. So the change is happening fast. This is now a blank spot. Which is why they drew a map on here to keep you interested. And then there's more name brand shops. Calbee, which makes potato chips. Matsumoto Kiyoshi. This street had zero name brand shops. So it's changed quite a bit.

17:00 John Daub: And let's get moving. This Marion Crepes has been updated so they're not moving. But this white building also is an institution. The Body Line. They don't allow filming in there. I tried so hard to be able to film in there to take a look at some of the fashions. But they were very protective of their design so they didn't want any filming at all. But that shop is still here selling goth and other kind of fashion. We'll take a look at that Marion Crepes. There's a crepe place at the end of the street too. I might jump in and get something to eat. Look at this mask vending machine. That's pretty sweet too. Some pretty interesting designs.

17:37 John Daub: Boom. Alright, I found it. So this is the main shop for ACDC Rag. I'm glad to see that. I know the manager and also the owner. I filmed in there many years ago. One of the innovators of this street. Gotta pay respect to those that were here first. Not forget the history. It's so important. Alright, let's keep moving. So there you go. A little bit of Philadelphia South Street action going on here. A little zipper head. Hey, just a shout out to Eric Surf 6. Check this out. Eric, this is available for rent. We're looking for an office here. This would be interesting. Imagine having an Only in Japan office right here on Takeshita. We'd have loads of people buying our stuff. What do you think? I wonder what the rent is. Probably astronomical.

19:20 John Daub: But Wade Arnold is getting us there a little bit closer. Thank you, Wade. Never got to say congrats for you for being a father for my wife, Mai, and I. Your work is so appreciated. You and your wife both are so positive and that is an inspiration. Blessings to your family from Florida. Keep going and never quit. Thank you very much for that. I will never quit. You will see me making episodes from Japan for years and years to come. Because now that I have a family here, I'm not going anywhere. Thank you for that. This is new. This is a Taiwan shop. This is so interesting. I'm seeing more and more shops from neighboring countries. Korea, Taiwan. Selling street food and things like that. That's super interesting. The internationalization of this street is incredible.

20:01 John Daub: Here is a crunchy cream stick thing. And again, I think I could do a really interesting Harajuku story. I'm going to do a street food episode here. There's just so much of it. But I would want to get permission from all these shops. So let's call this also a kind of scouting. Excuse me, sir. Do you have any Grey Poupon? I like how the pigeons walk with the humans like that. It's kind of cute. So these buildings here look like they're getting a little bit cleaned up. But they're still in business. Although they're closed down here. I don't know if that's because of the pandemic or what. But some of them were. Again, this is a satellite shop for... And you see there's a little dog cafe here. That's also new. I didn't see that before.

21:03 John Daub: This is a new building. A lot of new buildings. But this is where the satellite shops for a lot of youth fashion. They were right here. And that has changed, I guess. Just the internationalization of this area. And the price of real estate. A lot of companies started to buy it out. And the only ones who could afford it were chains. And they would have now chain shops here. Look at ACDC Rags right there. Has another shop. And that's closed down. They only have one shop open. Could be because of the pandemic. Or they sold it. I'm not sure. I'm really interested to talk with them to see how they...

22:01 John Daub: Never, never quite quit. Quit. I enjoy it. A lot of history here in Japan. Food buildings, et cetera. Absolutely. I'm tracking down a bunch of stories that have really interesting history. Historical backgrounds to it. I think with Only in Japan. If you can take something away from it. That other YouTubers aren't doing like history or, you know where it comes from. It really gives it a lot more meaning when you go to visit it. And I think that's something that I try to put into every episode. I bought glasses here so many times. Let's see what they got here. Some good glasses. These are nice. I got a small head, so it's hard to find glasses that fit my head properly. Like these Terminator 2 glasses. These police officer glasses. It makes me look like a bug. They're so big. Although my pandemic belly is helping to balance that out a little bit.

23:13 John Daub: All right. Quick couple of quick stories here. So a buddy of mine had a wine bar here. He opened it up. Sunk a bunch of money. This was in 2013. Or I don't know. 2007 or eight wine bar here. And he was an importer of wines from the US especially, but from all over. He was also one of the companies importing Żubrówka. So I got. Sometimes when I helped him out, I was paid in vodka. I had a case of Żubrówka. I may be very popular at parties. But he told me that a lot of the adult movie industry. AV industry. Shoot in studios back here. [inaudible] the adults here but I thought that that was interesting and the alleys if you look back in this area it's quite interesting because it gets so quiet really fast down here and you can get lost and it's quite interesting between here and Omotesando.

24:45 John Daub: But if you do walk there in the afternoon on weekdays when there's nobody around there's a very good chance you're going to see some really beautiful ladies walking around and you might understand why everybody's making a living. Um underwear shops what's up with that that one looks like you could eat it you ever seen those colors before creepy thing to say. I move here to the side some more shops these are I've never seen these these shops are all brand new or they were behind walls and now it's starting to open up Florida is what it's called so thank you floridians you are represented here in lights on Harajuku more of a Miami looking thing right. Jedi Mac it does look like cotton candy right well it's not just me right and this one looks too commercial all right that's just not that's not my cup of tea I liked it when it was real retro.

25:46 John Daub: Sorry the wind is picking up here to come to the we come to the exit well they finished this whoa this was all for ages was boarded up and I see that they finished this so let's take a look at the end and look back at Takeshita Street it's interesting they have a lot of security here right Takeshita has increasing security there were a lot of suspicious people um most of them um selling hip-hop stuff and they would drag in people to their shops that's how persuasive they were they would physically drag them in and a lot of complaints came in um and as a result um the the businesses are still there so i'm not sure if they're still there but it's a lot stricter so people don't bother you like they used to um Roppongi was like that at night too really there's only there's not that many scary places in Tokyo but this could be one of them just because of some people just way too um aggressive.

27:08 John Daub: So panning back towards JR station which is almost a kilometer back there or something like that feels like a long way off beautiful day here uh slightly overcast i'm gonna get a mask tan i'm gonna have i'm gonna have like suntan from the eyes up but we're still very much in a pandemic here in tokyo it's better to be safe than it's already and it's it sort of makes everybody around you feel comfortable because everybody's doing the same thing look at there's some goth fashion so it's interesting to see that that's still here and then there's a gelato place on the corner i thought that was great wow and the wind really picked up and then here this intersection which will take you back to the side the back streets of Omotesando which is a fascinating place a lot of the satellite shops moved over there and here's a Santa Monica crepe which would be a good way to end this live stream.

28:01 John Daub: Chris Christophe writes in no more masks in the U.S indeed every place is different we still um have very few people vaccinated and some some people and some birds are not wearing masks so obviously that bird could be doing a better job good the program here's a live view of harajuku from these the entrance of Takeshita, the intersection has changed a little bit. The buildings, did they cut down some trees or something? It just looks a little bit more wider than before. Jeff Kahn writes in an important thing, it's voluntary in the US, it's not a new mask. I don't wanna get too political into this. I'll just tell you this, in Japan we're still expected to wear them. It's not voluntary, the signs pretty much make it. Please do it to make people feel comfortable.

29:03 John Daub: All right, let's show you, take a look and see at these crepes here. There's some weird ones. Well, that is way, way, way chocolatey. This bonbon looks really good too. That's like sweet chestnuts all mushed up into some sort of icing. That looks great. But then crepes in Harajuku take on another meaning. They have like bacon, tuna fish, sausages. There's avocado shrimp. Look at that, there's like a whole pudding just dumped on there with mango. What? Yeah, I don't think I'm up for that. But one of these with ice cream might be good. What do you think? Anybody? Maybe the fruit might be better. This one has a strawberry banana, double chocolate whip. And there's a matcha one right here. Look at the big pieces of brownies jutting out of them. That is insane.

30:12 John Daub: All right. This mango one looks pretty good. But I have mango at home from Costco. So that's not, that doesn't work for me. This one looks like it's got like an all-star right there. Matcha milk whip matcha ice cream. I could try that. This is something that matcha brings into these boba teas. I could try that. What do you think? Matcha? Should we go into the matcha milk whip cream A17? What size? Ramsay Stanley goes strawberry. Oh, okay. There you go. All right. Our buddy Ramsay says strawberry. So let's get that strawberry double whip. I'm into it. Strawberry double whip. B. Strawberry nama whip. Check it out. They do have a matcha tiramisu though. Ramsay's, they have matcha tiramisu. I got to go with that.

31:14 John Daub: Konnichiwa. Matcha tiramisu. Ah, yes, that's right. Yes. [inaudible]. All right, so we got to wait here for a little bit. Sorry, I kind of went with the matcha because tiramisu is, I need it's the best of both worlds. I get coffee and I get matcha. So hello respolus 821 disagrees, I should have gone with the strawberries. Maybe you're right. Impulse buy. That's right. There's too many choices they literally have a hundred different crepe choices. Alright, the flow would go way faster if they had just one choice, crepe. Alright, even the boba tea is like, what? That's ridiculous. Okay, I can't pick it. Alright, I gotta sanitize my hands. I have these alcohol wipes. Thank you. Whoa, check it out. Done. That looks pretty good. Look at that matcha syrup in there. What? This is gonna be interesting. I gotta find a place to eat this.

32:56 John Daub: Let's go to the side here. Stand away from the people. Street food time. Who's in for this? Ramsey's, if you close your eyes and look real hard, you'll see red. Sakura, thank you. This could be strawberry. One of the first things, the colors to go when you're scuba diving to lose is red. Okay? So when I was about 10 meters under on a wall dive in Ko Samui near there, I cut my finger, blood started to come out and it was green. And I started freaking out and then I remembered in my scuba diver training, red is the first color to go underwater. So if you were 10 meters under, this would be red. Maybe. The question is, how do I eat this? Alright, I'm gonna come over here to the side. Scuba divers don't know that. If you're not a scuba diver, you would not know that underwater, you lose your body weight. You lose colors. You won't see red fish because, very rarely, because at that depth, it's not red anymore.

34:11 John Daub: I'm putting the tripod on here so I can eat this with you. Or you can eat this with me. I need two hands. What do you want to look? Okay, you can look this way. This is better. That's a good shot. Alright. Welcome. They gave me a little spoon. Tiramisu. Get out. This is matcha cream. That's matcha cream with matcha syrup. The crows are going crazy for it. If you come here, you have to... Jari is very jealous. If you come to Harajuku, you've got to get a crepe when you come here. It's almost a prerequisite, which means you have to do it before you actually come here. It's a prerequisite to know that. I'm gonna take you to the intersection where Omotesando is. Next. Take a look... Just a quick look to see what businesses are still here and what businesses are gone. It's quite interesting, but there's still... There's still a very large international population that is here.

36:09 John Daub: I thought I was alien when I cut my finger underwater. I was like, did I touch something that was alien that caused my... My blood to change color? That's a lot of cream. This can't be healthy. There's no way. That one has tiramisu in it. Here we go. Save this for later. It's not good for lactose intolerant people. Who cares if it's healthy? Famous quote from Noah right there. Look, walking and eating food, probably not a good thing, but I'm watching people doing it right now. All right. They've got... They're walking with their Ts. They're Japanese. Do people do it? Yeah. If it's a place where there's street food, yeah. People are walking and eating. Not everyone is trying to stop and eat, okay? But if you're in a crowded place and you're hindering other people, don't do it. The rules are there, right? But you don't have to follow it down to a T. Unless you're like an old... Unless you're, you know, one of those people. You don't have to do it. Social rules, social norms. They've been changing very quickly, especially with internationalization. But street food has been on the rise. Street food wasn't something that was really... You didn't see it a lot in Japan. But what are you supposed to do? If they don't have a table out, you have to stand and eat or walk and eat. And that's okay. No one's going to tell you not to do it. So there are rules and then there are rules. That's not one of the super strict rules. You'll have some grandma looking at you funny.

38:37 John Daub: This street looks like they cut down trees or something, right? I guess they tore down and put in this new Line building. Line is the WhatsApp of Japan. I think it's a Japanese-owned Korean company or something weird like that. But Line is... We use Line, not WhatsApp here. So all of our Indian viewers are like, John, can I talk to you on WhatsApp? I'm like, no, I don't have that downloaded and never will. Check out those tires. Some thick tires there. Yeah, Lines. I don't know. I haven't bought Line sticker in like 10 years. Although my friend Paolo, other YouTubers got his... His son has a Line sticker collection, which is really cute. Different poses of Wolfie. I thought that was very creative. Check out those graffiti vending machines. Awesome. Oh, this is the... If you go down here, this is where you'll find a lot of AV studios. Just watch yourself. Somebody said they also talent scout for that at the intersection too. No one's ever approached me. So I think... I think you won't be... You'll see me just on YouTube, thankfully.

40:09 John Daub: I have this Australian taco chain, which I am surprised still has this location. I know it's pricey. Usually these locations move real quickly, but this Guzman y Gomez is... I believe it's like an Australian surfer burrito place. And GYG, yeah. We don't have this in the US, I don't think. But it's such a premium real estate place. it's also a little bit from what i heard from people it's a little bit smaller but um and more expensive than australia but it's still very good it's a lot better than taco bell mark n writes in may look when your options are limited you'll take it it is it is pricey though jay graham's got it right i got nothing against taco bell but the japanese menu is awful all right expats go in there and they complain it's like six times the price and there's no dollar menu no bean burrito in there.

41:30 John Daub: Oh condominium is gone what that is a major announcement right here you heard it here first condomania which was a staple as well as that shop called chicago a used clothing store was right there that's gone too chicago is gone and condomania is gone the intersection has been decimated on this side ryan k is in shock slightly i know that's a huge loss i've gotten a lot of people who are like oh my god i'm gonna go to the store and i'm gonna go to the store and a lot of unique shirts at that chicago too i i think that there's still one down the street there's another branch of it right there but it's it's a shame this building was unique because it was just a little sliver and they had these alleys that's what made harajuku unique but i i guess they're making it into a square pattern that's more easy to navigate i would much prefer to have the old way back.

42:27 John Daub: The jonathan's is out of business is it still there used to be a jonathan's over a ufj it's bank the bank is gone but the jonathan's might still be there just the property prices are really high so it didn't make a lot of sense for the bank to be there the tokyo plaza is still here of course with a very beautiful secret starbucks up here don't tell anybody because uh locals get angry like it gets more crowded but where those trees are is a garden with a starbucks up there that is so beautiful and offers i think you get a sort of a view but you can't look down the street from there the best view of the intersection chicago is gone the best view of the intersection is right there above that tommy pull my finger you see that you can go there and get uh or right above it you can get uh pictures from right there at the intersection that's a pretty good spot thanks for that talent are you gonna much appreciate it keep them between us.
