00:01 John Daub: Alright, we are here. Ladies and gentlemen, we are at the vending machine park of Sagamihara. Check it out. Some of you probably recognize this from about a bazillion other YouTube videos. If you haven't, then maybe you need to check them out. But I'm making an edited video, which will probably drop tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, with my friend Scotty from the channel Strange Parts. Check it out. We don't have any cars right now in front, so it is a quite unobstructed view.

00:38 John Daub: And I wanted to show you this really quickly before we go in. There are 108 vending machines. Every single month, these seem to be adding a new one. And check that out. There's a hot noodle vending machine. There's old Coca-Cola vending machines. Oh man. Let's just get into it. For the next 15 or 20 minutes or so, I want to take you through here.

01:04 John Daub: I've been here three times in the last two weeks to film a main channel episode with Saito-san, who is the owner of this. He showed me inside of the machines, and I'm really excited to bring that side of the episode to you. A lot of YouTubers will show you the food, but not a lot of people will show you what the guts look like to these retro machines. It's just totally awesome. But there's more than just what's right here. And it's not a really easy place to get to. You can take a bus from the station at Sagamihara. But I highly recommend that you come here with a rent-a-car because it's just so much more convenient.

01:42 John Daub: The staff already know me quite well for being here like every couple of days to film. But that's the way I do the Only in Japan channel. It takes a long time to make one episode. Sometimes multiple trips here. Look at that old cup noodle. Look at the old Pepsi one. Check out that 7up machine. It's got like a rotary dial on there to pick which one. They even have Hi-C Orange. What? Hi-C? Is that still a thing?

02:26 John Daub: That is so cool. Ten cents it says on there. I don't think that... Oh, okay. It's 100 yen. It's nice to be out here in the countryside. How you doing everybody? They also have new vending machines. These types you've seen if you watch EricServe6, our friend over there. He's quite often showing that particular... those kinds of new vending machines, which are pretty exciting here. I'm gonna be focusing on the edited video. On this one in particular, this is a curry rice vending machine. It's one of a kind. It doesn't... there aren't any left that work like this. This is the only one in Japan, which is pretty awesome.

02:55 John Daub: And check out this popcorn vending machine from America. Josh Schneider, thank you! Thank you, Josh. Actually, I do have a bunch of coins and we're gonna put that to very good use. Take a look at some of this stuff. I tried this as well. This is milkshake in a can. It's not that good. But for me, it takes a lot for me to want to eat and drink some of this stuff. It's just pure sugar. But it's not that bad. I mean, it's better than you would think.

03:34 John Daub: Let's go over and just right off the bat, we're gonna try it... try... I tried this one in the main channel episode too. Let's just go up and try a burger, shall we? And then we're gonna walk around and take a closer look. Got a pocket full of coins here. All right, it's up to you guys watching in the live stream chat which burger I get. These hot toasted sandwiches we know quite well. I believe he works at the tire shop, which is what this place is, but he's more often working at the vending machines than he is at the tire shop.

04:16 John Daub: All right, there's two burger machines here. So our choices are hamburger, hamburger, hamburger. And then over here we have... This is ebikatsu (shrimp cutlet). This is a fish burger. And this is a chicken katsu, which is a breaded deep-fried chicken cutlet on bread. So it's up to you guys. What do you want? I should actually ask Josh, what do you want, Josh? I'm happy to get that for you. It's not an easy choice, is it?

05:03 John Daub: Michael Sassano is here. Get something to snack on in the future. Louis, I think I will go and try one of those 7-ups. Okay. But I'm wondering what you guys want here. Which burger? Actually, I think I might go for the ebikatsu since I'm not receiving that. Okay. Yeah, Rex Harz writes in here shrimp. So let's do that. It's 280 yen or 300 yen. Let's go for the ebikatsu. It says it's heating. Look at that. All right, it's actually a microwave. Here's the temperature on there. Oh my gosh.

05:47 John Daub: All right, so when it comes out, you're going to see the burger pop in. It takes approximately 30 seconds. That's so cool. Here it comes. I can smell it. It's being microwaved. If it has a microwave in there, that means that the burger probably... If there's a microwave, that means this is probably from the mid-1980s, this machine, because microwaves were not prevalent before that. It was hard to find them. They were quite expensive. So back in the 1980s, in the early 80s, having a microwave was like a really luxury item. They cost about a thousand bucks, if some of you remember.

06:46 John Daub: Oh, here it comes. Here it comes. Oh, look at that box. It's so retro. Look at it. That's awesome. It even has the expiration date, November of 2020. What? That can't be right. Really? I mean, this is good till November. I think it must have been frozen, right? That's... right? It was probably frozen and then the microwave de-thawed it. It's a long shelf life, I'm just saying. Now, I'm not gonna chicken out. I'll eat it. But it's just slightly long, right? I don't know.

07:44 John Daub: All right, let's find a place to eat. The cool thing about this place is that they actually have a table, but sometimes it would be full. Oh, no, it's okay. There's a dining table here. Pretty awesome. There you go. It's quite busy. I'm reading the ingredients here. It's got a lot of ingredients, so I'm guessing there's a lot of questionable stuff. Bottom line, it's just cool. I opened the box so I can keep it. Oh, wow. All right. It's pretty hot.

09:15 John Daub: It's different from what we had before. From Kochi. Oh, I opened the box for Kochi. It's hot. Is there anything you want? Oh, it's a little hot. It's like I went there every day. Oh, that's... It has like a fish fillet McDonald's smell to it. Thank you for the food. Itadakimasu (I humbly receive). Mmm, good. Not bad. Save it for later. I do like the fact that they have that chair there. You can kind of sit. And people are coming here, taking pictures.

10:27 John Daub: I saw some other live streamers. People really like this place. It's just, it really is a unique experience to come here. How could I not go live and bring you guys with me? There's so many vending machines that they've actually, you can see down here the corridor, they've actually put them outside near the parking lot. And every couple of weeks he gets tips and buys a new one. They usually come broken and he has to fix them up. But the main business here is tires. So he has the know-how, Mr. Saito-san, to do this kind of stuff.

11:07 John Daub: Let's get a drink next. Let's get a drink. They got some weird stuff in here too. Look at this like sparkling ume (plum). It's not umeshu (plum wine). There's Natchan. Here's some curry. Or ramen in a can. There you go. 600 yen for ramen in a can. You don't see that very often anymore. There's oden (simmered vegetables and fishcake). We got that in Akihabara though. And these drinks are from Aomori, I believe. There's some weird stuff. So this is one row. This is in the front that you saw. And then there's a second row here in this dark alley. Bookended by this battery vending machine. You don't see this very often. That still works.

12:12 John Daub: How much is it? 70 yen. So these are like Daiso 100 yen batteries, but you can get them for 70 yen from the machine here. So that's kind of good. But I don't have any use for the seed size batteries at all. Let's go for a really slow walk here. If you see something you like, you guys can send me a message right now because we're live and I'll stop and take a look at it. No, they do not have underwear vending machines here. Nasty.

12:50 John Daub: This is the newest addition, the Cafe au lait vending machine. This came in last week. And Saito-san showed me repairing it. So the main channel episode is going to be really interesting. Scotty's channel, he has a Strange Parts episode coming as well. So the two of us collaborated. Look at this ice cream. You know, this is an interesting one. And I'm not going to talk about this in the main channel episode too much. But UCC coffee is the first coffee that came in a can back in the Osaka World Expo in 1970. So that's when they came up with the idea of canned coffee. And they put it in a vending machine. And it was really popular back in 1970, 53 years ago.

13:34 John Daub: And what's interesting is the World Fair is coming back to Osaka World Expo in 2025. So I'm looking forward to going there. They have three or four cup noodle vending machines from different eras. This one I think was from the early 1980s. This one's from the later 1980s, I think he said. The great thing about these is that, you know, you put the cup noodle in here in the hot water dispenser. Yeah, you have to buy it to get the hot water to come out. It's very interesting. Now the machines here are very easy to break. So please do take your time. Be gentle with them if you do come. There are security cameras, several of them.

14:20 John Daub: And there was an act of vandalism, maybe about eight or nine months ago, where somebody got, was drunk probably and frustrated and ended up banging it and breaking it. And that's really, oh, here's the old school Coca-Cola's in a bottle. Oh man, it's always better in a bottle. This is more like a museum, I would say. They call it the vending machine park because people are parking their cars. So it's kind of like a car park. I had no idea that Budweiser had a Bud Zero. It's odd. But with all the people driving here, it makes a lot of sense.

15:03 John Daub: This is one of the coolest vending machines. A baseball player endorsing this curry. But the thing is, the curry, I believe, is in a bag. I think you just buy the box of curry or it comes in like this. Okay, so it's a heated curry that comes out looking like this. And that's 400 yen. Which is pretty reasonable. Bon Curry, they still have this around, so it's quite a famous brand. It's interesting that they keep the old retro boxes in there. These are actual boxes from, this looks like the 1980s. Maybe early, late 70s, early 80s. This is an old coffee machine that looks also from the early 80s, late 70s.

16:01 John Daub: Yeah, I can kind of guesstimate because of my own age. The vending machine is somewhat similar to this. The thing is, you know why these vending machines aren't, oh look at this noodle one. This looks like a noodle shop because it says noodle shop. I hate this one in the main channel episode. So one of the reasons why the vending machines aren't as interesting these days. Can anybody tell me? This is a poll question. Why aren't there hot delicious vending machines like this one here anymore? Why are these dying out? In fact, Nietzsche was a company that had the hot food vending machines. They stopped the production of it in about two years ago. So they no longer have those hot food vending machines. The microwave ones, they're gone.

16:39 John Daub: Do you know why? Koon Dog, you are very, very smart. Convenience stores. Convenience stores killed the vending machine. Can you believe that? What's more convenient than a vending machine? A convenience store. You no longer, for the food vending machines in particular, you can get really good cheap food from a, prepared in a kitchen, I guess, at the convenience store. It's just fresher, I guess, and maintained. But the thing is, in order to have a food vending machine, you need to have the same license that a restaurant would have. So they prepare the stuff at this vending machine park in a kitchen that they have here to the side, which is super cool, right?

17:35 John Daub: The 909 writes in here, go to the hamburger vending machine, please. I just did. You have to watch it in the playback. I just did. I have it, I have it, the box in my pocket too. How's that? All right. I wanted to come here because this is next. I'm super, super curious. The thing is, all right, they don't have any 7up in the 7up machine. They don't have 7up in the 7up machine. Oh my God. This feels so good. The original plastic, just be really gentle because it's already cracked. So I'm going to go for a ginger ale here. I think that's good.

18:26 John Daub: All right, let's get a ginger ale because that's the closest thing to... Whoa. Oh my gosh. It came in a bottle. Oh yeah. You remember this? Oh, that's so satisfying. I'm going to go get a ginger ale. That is so satisfying. They have the bottle opener right in the machine. All right. Kanpai (cheers). That's really good. Oh my gosh. I used to... When I was younger, they had a lot of machines like this. You don't see it anymore because the... I think they should bring back... Forget the PET bottles. Bring back glass, man. Glasses. It just tastes and feels better. It's better for the environment.

20:10 John Daub: Here's another... Oh, that's a Wilkinson's ginger ale. This is the Pepsi machine and they also have a bottle opener. There's ginger ale in here. The thing is that the original drinks are sometimes replaced with what they've got today, but they do an incredible job of actually finding the stuff from the past because despite the fact that a lot of these machines are 40, 50, 60 years old, a lot of the companies that make the stuff are still in business. Yeah. So they make it in the same iconic shapes that will fit these machines. That's awesome. Do you guys know this word? Natsukashii (nostalgic). Very nostalgic I think.

21:02 John Daub: Now, like look at this. It says here 27 seconds you can get a kitsune udon (fox udon). You guys want to see inside the machine? All right, let's follow him. See what he's replacing. This is an omikuji (fortune-telling slip) machine. Omikuji machine or fortune telling slip. And that's what you see here attached to the top of it. These white pieces of paper are omikuji or fortune telling slips. All right, let's take a look inside of the machine. There's a lot of cars here. This is the hamburger vending machine that I just got my chicken katsu at.

22:16 John Daub: Here you can see, oh there is a microwave. Yeah. He puts the different burgers on the side and when you push the button that will activate the drop into the microwave. Look at that. My cheeseburger is in that this machine here. That's the one that he is refilling right now. Hi. Fascinating so he refills it about three times a day. But also there's the and the other burgers so that's fascinating and there are hundreds of burgers in there it looks like hundreds it's probably like dozens I do tend to exaggerate slightly.

24:31 John Daub: All right let me take you to the back side here now just a note that the udon sorry the soba (buckwheat noodles) in here it's a 350 yen the the chopsticks are here so you can get chopsticks it is filled with chopsticks and a little spice that you can put in there it is really good i thought the soba is the best item one of the the better items here they also have takoyaki (octopus balls) in this machine potato potato butter what um on donuts which is red bean paste donuts taiyaki (fish-shaped waffle) the thing is all of these machines all 108 need to be refilled and there's a warehouse in the truck over there and they're continuously like filling in the machine.

25:27 John Daub: And they're filling in the machines now the thing with the retro machines is you don't know when it's empty but they have a kind of a schedule written where they can estimate based on every day the usage monday to monday to sunday on when the machine needs to be filled based on the averages so that that's the way that they kind of do it in an efficient way or else you would just be continuously opening every single machine all the time i want to show so this is in the back here there's the kitchen where they'll be uh making the rice and stuff i'm gonna put i'm gonna i wanna keep this here actually i'll be back i wanna show you now back oh you can't i don't know they still have they used to have cigarette vending machines there's an old school vending machine for cigarettes here but right now the cigarette vending machine is uh is stocked with uh candy cigarettes which they still still sell this one's chocolate and this one is a candy vending machine for um berry cigarettes for kids i don't know.

26:53 John Daub: All right let's go through this uh darker area where the signal might not be as wonderful this one is a real find look at this this is a potato chip vending machine and here is a baseball roulette vending machine and you don't really see this i i this is the first time i've seen it at this particular um vending machine corner vending machine park but when you buy it it plays a game and and it's like you're like oh you're like hey i'm gonna do something with the vending machine and uh guess like every thousand times you'll hit a home run and you win something which is pretty cool that's what these lights and the fact that the lights all work is pretty darn incredible.

27:35 John Daub: I wish that they made more vending machines like this where you could win stuff but that's what you call a gambling machine so people play to win right this is an old microwave you can tell from the the style of it 1980s the old um machines I don't know where they get these anymore they stopped making these so it must be a different company but these are the ones they had these at some parks just a couple of years ago but it's very hard to find this is a a gyudon (beef bowl) and this is a chukadon (Chinese fried rice) which is which is Chinese food and this is a stew and rice it's interesting it's all microwaved inside it's a thousand yen though so that's that's kind of pricey but might be just because it's very hard to find perhaps.

28:24 John Daub: The toy vending machines are kind of cool check out this driver Japanese driver's license for cats I might get that that's kind of cool these handcuffs not so much maybe you're gonna rest you know imitating a police officer is a crime I like these the old conveyor belt vending machines you don't see these a lot anymore either look at that little popcorn this one's hanging look at that look at this frozen ice cream machine with a generic looking sailboat in the distance what do they got here frozen Pocari Sweat that's pretty cool these machines are this these are the ones that they use in the US but they're quite rare here in Japan.

30:05 John Daub: So seems a little odd and I was talking with a man who owns a retro game center He was here this morning at around 6 a.m. And I was talking to him about some of the stuff in his shop I might go and film and He was telling me a lot of these old vending machines from the came from the United States and They're very expensive But during the bubble era in the 1980s you could bring in unique vending machines from abroad People had that kind of money they don't anymore if here's an old coca-cola vending machine You could see that the bottles of coke in there With the bottle opener and there's a place to leave the glass behind.

30:48 John Daub: The vending machines also have deposits for different shapes, which I thought was really interesting So you could fit box drinks or you could fit thin cans and even bottles so that was something I think that As the years went on the designs of the vending Machine allowed it to be more versatile these ice cream vending machines are super cool Look at that Instead of having a boring lineup like this. They put it in a Pentagon so those in Washington DC might recognize this Here's a chocolate bananas in here chocolate bananas Wow that was that was Saito-san the owner And just walked by now this one This is the one me and Scotty were like freaking out about Like what's the deal with a camera vending machine?

31:52 John Daub: They still have it you could buy you can't buy any of the rolls of film. They're all sold out Except for this one what? It's a Kodak Snap kids what? It's 1800 yen or about what $14 for that This is 60 yen, which is these are candy. So Actually, it's not a camera at all. It's just candy, but it's sold out so I can't get it and then he I think some of you might Some of you might remember So you'll see it's the main channel episode. But the do you know the the? slogan or the motto for Kodak, right you just Was it you just press the button? We'll do the rest like it's an amazing slogan from the 1890s for Cameras like that, but I guess when it came to Japan They changed the model cuz it was just too slow simple to this paint your passion bear your colors the world of Kodak Goldfilm colors that shake the soul what is going on here what maybe that's why Kodak didn't work so well here in Japan.

33:19 John Daub: But you know Kodak was going up against Fujifilm which there's a camera for Fujifilm in here in fact the film itself are from Fujifilm so this is an old book vending machine that now sells curry which is interesting and the one other thing about this place I like this is that you get it they recycle everything so these bowls get recycled everybody does a great job here in Japan of separating the trash the burnables trash like chopsticks and other stuff that might also be recycled I'm not sure going here the glass bottles go in there you and then if you have soup or something left over they go in these barrels so you just dump your soup in there and then you put the empty thing here if you can't eat it so I like the way that they set that up.

34:07 John Daub: On the side here don't miss this one you see that in the center that red one that's a popcorn vending machine we look inside of this you're gonna want to check out Scotty and my video we look inside of this and show you how this actually works it is fascinating they put an actual they put an actual microwave in there the way it works is just it's absolutely always opening okay hurry hurry hurry hurry we get a chance to look inside of here so that's where the the ramen broth comes from fascinating so about sue you for the soup that you see the power is on they do not make these any more by the way you can see the technology and is all like transistors and things like that it's all old-school these are about 40 years old.

36:30 John Daub: And you can see the door for this is really thick it's so awesome here's gonna replace for ramen there's the the ramen broth fiery place many left there's a line of people who want to want to come you can get quite crowded here excuse me that is awesome are you gonna go get my burger just over there over here I hope you do check out the main channel episode on this the editing is gonna be a lot of fun.

38:08 John Daub: Where exactly is this check it out here this is where I am right now this is the vending machine park there's not a lot of things around here it is about a fifty five one hour drive from Tokyo from where I live near Ginza came out here and it's not that easy it's it's easy to drive here but it's it's harder to take public transportation you can see the the tire yard behind him here and here's a map that that'll give you a little bit of a perspective see here all right here this is the the trip I had to take so you can see from Tokyo it's a yeah it took me 56 minutes this morning so this you can go on the Tomei Expressway towards Nagoya and cut across for that direction or you can come around through the mountains but it's a little bit longer but maybe less traffic.

39:18 John Daub: In the morning when I came at 6 in the morning 530 I came in on the Tomei Expressway because it's more direct now it's gonna be packed at Ebina I bet but that's how you would get to this vending machine restaurant vending machine park is what they call it because you come here to park your car and then you can get your food here at the vending machine and I interviewed Saito-san who's the owner for about 15 minutes and I got the lowdown on on all the machines why he does this it's fascinating it's where you can take a hobby and turn it into something big because if you look at this it is big there's a hundred and eight vending machines here that's just it's just an it's it really is insane.

40:06 John Daub: Oh this is an even older cup noodle they don't even have the displays for the cup noodle it comes out here and then you put the water in sometimes the older the machine is the better it is I don't know why there are certain areas where things just got a little bit too cheap back in the 70s they really made it like out of metal and stuff this is a new style of vending machine here it gives you fresh orange juice and Peter found one in Tokyo so this is nothing really special this is an old check this out an old umbrella vending machine one coin 500 yen you can get yourself an umbrella and a mask vending machine you see these in hospitals still you'll see these in hospitals can of pineapples why I don't know.

41:36 John Daub: I guess I'm gonna have to go to the hospital and see if I can get a more questions and answers oh that's nice so I'll be taking this home very cool I you know I sometimes will do the thumbnails for my main channel episodes I do them piece by piece all right I will take I'll take them at home with good lighting for me and then I'll do some Photoshop and put that into the background of one of the scenes here it works out really well I think that's what I'm gonna do with this always have a prop fascinating it was a very good one hour drive this I got this from the Toyota rented car like 70 bucks for the day I had to come here three times so this episode is gonna cost me about four hundred dollars to make one episode that's why you know support like patreon is really important thanks guys patreon sponsored video.

42:50 John Daub: Alright if you haven't already check out the last episode that I posted on the most beautiful tree in the world one tree I'm gonna fix this thumbnail I don't think it's as interesting I'll fix it a little bit later on but this is a 1,000 year old tree that has attracted 300,000 people every year to come and visit this small little town in Fukushima and I think that's really great that that a town would put so much respect into one tree in the middle of basically it's Koryama it's not about 30 minutes away from Koryama City in Fukushima and that was a good three and a half hour drive for me to get up there but it was so worth it for spring you want to go and find the best of the best that is the best tree in Japan to go and see bar none.

43:32 John Daub: You go there and it's like there's nothing around except for this one tree so it's certainly a good episode to go and see and by the way oh do I have a picture of it if if you join if you do want to support me for patreon I really do appreciate it the the money goes back into the production of the show this is gonna be the postcard for this month check it out I took this picture this month and I'm gonna post it on my Instagram.

44:24 John Daub: Aang, thank you. Aang likes the postcard. How does John pop up images? It's a magic. Warren de New York. Have a safe trip home. Thank you, buddy. It's a one hour drive. I might stop off at Costco because it's Costco. I don't know. I'm on a diet. I shouldn't eat pizza, but it's really tempting. Trying to lose some weight before Hawaii and for the summer. The weather's great. This is post typhoon. So after the typhoon, this is the kind of weather that you want to be in. The day after the typhoon is always amazing like this.

45:18 John Daub: All right, everybody. Thanks for joining me. This is really fun. I'm glad that you guys could be here. So when you do see the main channel episode, the uploaded video, you could say you were here with me live. That above the vending machines are hubcaps. And in the back there is a place where they repair cars and give new tires. I think that that's his main business. But I'll tell you, I think these vending machines are going to be the main business in a few years.

45:47 John Daub: One last thing. How old do you think this retro vending machine park is? Does anyone have an idea? Just give me a number. Take a guess. What do you guys think? I didn't come here by motorcycle. You want to know why? Because this is all the gear that I come. I brought a pancake light. I brought my main camera, which I just threw in here. Here's my A1, which I'll put away nice and neat in my bag here. And then this big pancake light I had to try to get the shadow off of my face because the sunlight is kind of weird right now. So how do you bring that on a motorcycle?

46:38 John Daub: All right. Interesting. What? What? Oh my gosh. I'm loving this. So your guess is here. All right. 30 years, 5 years, 1973, 25 years. I'm going to be here for a long time. Nita rates in 40 years. Lisa, 35. Carrie, 37. Michael, 45. Felix, 7. All right. The hub, the place with the tires has been here for a long time. But the vending machines, just the vending machines. This is what's really interesting. It's been here for just seven years. Seven. I moved 60 years, 51 years. This has been here for seven years. He's been collecting the vending machines for seven years. I think you might have had one or two before that. But he started off with one or two seven years ago.

47:24 John Daub: And the people who bring the car to be repaired give him tips on where to get the new ones. And when I came here the first time, he gave us the interview and everything. I came here the second time. He tapped me on the shoulder and he brought me to the back. And he showed me the newest vending machine, which is this Cafe au lait vending machine he found in Tokyo and fixed it up. And now it's already out here for everybody to use. Which is so cool. And he's probably taking one that's broken back into the back to try to repair that. I know, right? It's crazy.

48:07 John Daub: It's been here for seven years. That's it. And the reason why he put it in here, I want you to watch the main channel episode because there's a reason why this collection keeps growing. Nowadays, it's for people like me. It's a good story. This story will never get old either. And look at all the people that have come here just to eat. It is certainly an attraction. Check it out. Look at all the people. It's a lot of people going down here. You can't even see down anymore. Sunday afternoon. So before I leave, I think I'll do a time lapse. A time lapse of people walking by and then heading back to Tokyo.

49:03 John Daub: All right. In the back here, there's a retro game center. You can see the tires back here. But I'm not showing you. I'm not taking you in just because of the game center. I forgot. Check it out here. They have a pinball machine. But this is where the coin changer is. So if you brought 1000 yen notes, you can get coins from out of here. But they do have some old retro games, including this one that that Scotty tries in his episode. I'm going to leave it. Leave that one up to him to do. There's like an arm wrestling machine. What? That's crazy. And there's look at this old bicycle machine. Cycle race. It's called. That is so awesome. This old boat. And there's even older machines out here.

50:13 John Daub: I was talking with the owner of the machines that came from another place in Kanagawa. He brought them here because. People actually use it here. I don't know. I want to get that story, too. I think the owner might have bought it. I'm not quite sure yet. I highly recommend the popcorn because it plays a song when you buy the popcorn. It's so awesome. What a day. People come here by motorcycle. Peter should come here for one of his live streams. I think. Yeah. I'm an hour away from Tokyo. There you go. That's my drive to get back. I'll take the long way around. I think. This is my ride.

51:19 John Daub: All right, everybody. This has been fun. Thanks so much for joining me. I'm off. Fifty minutes. I thought there's gonna be 15 minutes. What happened? Retro Vending Park is pretty darn cool. The burgers might not be the best in the world, but it's certainly fun. And one of these days I'll bring Kanae and Leo here just to hang out. All right, everybody. See you in another live stream really soon. From the Vending. Retro Vending Machine Park in Sagamihara. Awesome. See ya, everybody.
