Inside the UK’s BIGGEST Japanese Festival – Hyper Japan Vlog 🇯🇵✨

We’re here. We’re at a high for Japan. Come with me as we look around cuz there’s so much stuff and I’m going to buy everything. Okay, let’s go. I want a little sushi guy. I want a little sushi. Wait, I want a little pudding. Do you have coins? [Music] there. Yeah, you’re the professional. [Music] Nanny, I think she’s too far back. Too far back. He’s as far back as it goes. Yeah. Oh, yay. Oh my god. [Music] She’s so cute. I can’t. Go for the other one if you want. No, I don’t want anymore. I only want it on. I don’t care. Two seconds later. That might be a bit awkward to get now. No, no, it’s going to be fine. Don’t worry. Everything’s fine, Stephen. Don’t give me that. Uh-oh. Yeah, cuz the front can’t [Music] work it. Yeah, go for the orange one. [Music] steady. Oh my god. If I got two, he’s just I love Japanese crane games. They’re so much better. Anyway, we’re going to come back, but there’s other things to do. I just wanted to do it before I got too busy. Look, we got Anna and we got a little sushi bear. But I still want the green bunny one. So, we’ll come back. I really want to try some. Are you going to try some? Yeah. Are you going to try some? It’s good. It’s getting crunk. So, can we try some? Is that okay? Smell that. [Music] That’s so lovely. Yeah, it’s very fruity and refreshing. Yeah, it’s really nice. [Music] So, we’ve lost cameraman husband to gun. [Music] He’s just painted one. And now he’s doing the TCG. Okay. No. So, we just vibing. Uh, I don’t know who this guy is, but uh, he’s scary. I don’t like it. We’re just talking about the idea that when we were in school, we’re 30, we’re in our 30s, we’re in our 30s, and this was 100% frowned upon, like back in the day, you’d be bullied. You’d be bullied to absolute, you know, to the end of the earth. And now what I find really funny is all these bullies kids are now into all this and now it’s mainstream and they bring their kids to this stuff and they have to deal with it anyway and that’s what I call karma I think. So I I don’t see the problem if you’re what you do doesn’t hurt anyone and you’re just vibing. Why should that ever be a problem? Steven agrees. I assume. Yeah. At least he’s having a nice time. He’s doing some flippy flips. He looks like he’s having a nice time. That’s what matters. Uppercut. This is really what you want to do. It’s windy against this. This is what you want to do. I don’t mind. No, he said he wanted to do it. He’s just playing up for the camera. Um, we’re doing the maid cafe. I’m a little scared of it, actually. I’m very intimidated by these mates, but I don’t really know why. But the drinks look really good, and I need to sit down. Are you sure this is what you want? I want to sit down. He wants Yeah, that’s not what he wants. He don’t want to just sit down. He wants to be hanging out with the maids. My boss is having my head. Are you coming around here? Have a very Pokemon themed outfit today. I don’t know what you’re talking about. I don’t know what you’re talking about. Sorry. You’re right. Excuses. Why does Roach Why does Roachu have to hang? But Vulpix gets she doesn’t have a She doesn’t have a Whoa, that was low down. She doesn’t have a hanger. That was Vulpix using extra sensory. Yeah. Unhappy. Have you masters returned home before? Not no not no not no. Does that mean yes? No. Is that a triple negative? No triple negative. No. We haven’t returned home. Okay. Well, why not? I have no answer. I have no good reason to not return. That’s refreshingly honest. I’ll admit that. You know that this is your mansion with your masons. So, you must be working incredibly hard, masters, who have never returned home even once in your entire lives. Despite the fact you live here, we’re very busy. That’s incredible. You’re extremely busy. Well, thank you so much for your hard work. I appreciate it. That’s right. We got to keep you all like fed and stuff. Exactly. I I need that patron cuz I’ll be back for your master soon. [Music] We all need to do a spell over the food in order to make it taste of it. That’s why I had to stop you obviously cuz it wouldn’t have been any good. It would have tasted awful. Much better. [Music] Shakaare power beam. Power beam. [Applause] Uh, but since there is so much space in this place, uh, I think I will draw some sauces for you. So, would you like me to draw for you? Pikachu. Pikachu. Okay, that was very quick. You had that prepared a few moments later. That looks just like him. It does. Photo realistic. Of course. I I I really thought it was him for a second. We thought he’d appeared on the It was mental. Thank you so much, Enjoy. Thank you. A few minutes later, [Applause] [Music] why does it taste Like garden. Matcha tastes like garden. Are you ready to go? That’s what matches for. Garden. Do you like the taste of garden? I want I want a I want a little Polaroid. You didn’t pay for Shut up, Stephen. [Music] This is a long term. [Music] We got the little strawberry cake. Um, I don’t even know what it was called, but let’s Oh my goodness, I miss I miss Japanese baking so much. light and so soft. You have to try some of this. I want to try some of yours as well. Hang on. My husband got the soule cheesecake. Like the jiggly cheesecake. And I’ve never tried this before. So yummy, yummy, yummy. That’s so creamy and so nice. I’ll have a little bit more. You were looking around. I feel like I’m in Fortnite or something. Can I come over? Hello. Hi. I’m so done. It’s been a long day. It’s been an amazing day. It’s been a yummy day. But let’s go home, see what we got, and rest. 2 hours later, we’re home. We’re home. We’re back. I’m in my comfies. I’ve had a little bit time to rest. My feet hurt. It was a really, really long day, but I had such an amazing time. And I promised you a haul. So, here it is. I was pretty restrained in the end. I did a pretty good job. Husband was fairly restrained. I think we did okay between us. It was okay. So, first we started off, we got some sake. It is delicious. We could not not get any. And before the show even finished, like about an hour and a half, 2 hours before they finished, they sold out. So, that’s how delicious it is. So, we went with that. And then I went to the crane games. And again, I was very restrained. I didn’t go back again cuz it was very busy. We got little Miss Anna Forger. I think she’s actually adorable. And then we got my little sushi bear. She’s just a little sushi guy. And I’m thrilled with these. I love crane games. If you know me, you know I love crane games. When we went to Japan, I won so much stuff. So, this was a great little insight into the arcades in Japan. and it brought back so many memories and I had a great time. So those are adorable. Then husband found this Legend of Zelda Link figure. Again, we have a fair amount of figures from when we went to Japan, but we never found a Legend of Zelda one. So could not leave it. We will show you our Zelda collection another time, but it is glorious. And now it is even more glorious. So let me show you the figure. We’ve got it out already. Husband couldn’t wait. There he is. He is amazingly detailed. Like the sword is mental. You his hand and he’s just stunning honestly. So we could not leave him behind. He will take pride of place and yeah I he’s just such he’s just such good quality figures. If you know you know there there are good figures but then there are good figures. So he he had to he was he he was going in my basket. Anyway, husband also went he was very jealous of my happy my little mini kimono. So he got his own got a little little Magikarp number here. I like the muted tones and then Magikarp’s just hanging out at the back. Do you feel less jealous now? A little bit. Do you feel better? So that was really cool. And now we match kind of. And then we went to so upstairs was more of the like kind of small businesses, arts and crafty kind of handmade stuff and it was beautiful. It was wonderful. But there was one store that I really really love and it’s called AFU Creations. I believe that’s how you say it. If it’s not, I’m sorry. But I loved all your stuff. So while we were there, I got some stickers. We got little Snom snow cone little guy. Very cute. And then we got the Alaria and the Swabloos. There’s a little shiny one and it’s that’s also very cute. I love Alaria and Swabloo. I imagine they feel like clouds. And then we got Miss Lily and Cosmog cuz I love Lily. I think she’s a great character. So yeah, those are my stickers. And then I squeal squeeled lots of things, but I squealled at this Alan Vulpix in a snow globe as a pin. And it is just beautiful. It’s so shiny. It’s absolutely stunning, like handdrawn. Well, and then printed onto enamel, you know what I mean? So yeah, I I could not pass that up either. So I’m pretty sure that’s it, right? We’ve got a lot of food. Obviously, you saw that we ate a lot of food, which was also, you know, a big part of what I love about Japan is the food. So, we had to get some Japanese snacks and food. But, um, that’s it. Really had a really good time. Great company. Thank you, Steven, for coming with us. Thank you, husband, for joining me again on my adventures. Did you enjoy your Gundam experience? We can look at those another time. But thank you all so much for watching. I really appreciate you.
