ONE PIECE Summer + Pokémon Parade at Universal Studios Japan (2025)!

Japan for another hot season. And you know what that means? One Piece. And then we also have the return of the daytime parade with a special water version. So that means Mario, that means Peanuts, that means Minions and a Pokemon. It’s going to be a hot one. And I am going to be showing you everything. We’re going to get soaked. We’re going to have food. We’re going to look at merchandise. So, uh, let’s go. For full transparency, explore, some of the food was provided by Universal Studios Japan, and some of the food we paid for ourselves. A huge thank you to Universal Studios Japan for inviting us out because there there’s a lot there is a lot to show for this. Oh my goodness, I’m excited. Let’s go. Well, first things first, they brought back the parade and it’s going to be a summer wet version. There’s going to be Mario. There’s going to be Pokémon. There’s going to be peanuts and minions. So, we’re going to get a spot and watch the show. We’re going to get wet. Heat. Heat. Yeah. Heat. Yeah. Heat. [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] [Applause] [Music] Oh my goodness, there’s so much water. As you can see, I am soaking wet. So, that is the same uh daytime parade that we’ve had for a while, and it went away, but they brought it back for the summer, and you get soaked. So, the area I’m in is Grammar Sea Park. So, this is an extra paid area. You can buy tickets for that through the Universal Studios Japan website. It’s available in English. So, as you saw, there was like there was performers that came out and there was water surrounding us everywhere. A lot of fun. I love that there’s Pokemon in it. I love that there’s Mario, Peach, Daisy’s even here, Yoshi, Luigi, we have Sing, we have Peanuts, we have Hello Kitty, we have the family from Despicable Me. It is such a fun time. And if you do not want to pay the extra for the the Grammy Park, that’s totally cool. There is the parade route that goes around the front of the park here. So over behind me here where Conan is. It starts there and then kind of goes all the way around and then makes its way back over here. So you don’t you don’t have to pay extra if you don’t want to. Just get a spot, you know, maybe a good half an hour early. You will get wet though. No matter where you are, you’re going to get wet. But in this area, you get soaked. Absolutely soaked. And I’m already drying off cuz it is so hot summers here in Japan. So, make sure you have a UV umbrella, you have plenty of water, take lots of breaks, and my personal favorite is using the salt tablets. The salt tablets also help with dehydration and stuff like that so you don’t get uh well, it it helps you not get heat stroke and all that kind of stuff. So, please stay safe. It does get very hot and I want you to have a wonderful, fabulous time. Okay, I need to dry off. You can’t have a One Piece premiier summer 2025 without merchandise. So, we’re going to go look at some of it. For the time being, for the One Piece store, you have to get a time to entry ticket. So, you do that through the app, and I’ll have it on the screen here kind of showing you what to do. You have to register, and it’s done through the University of Japan app. You got to enter your name and your email address. When we did it, it was quite easy to get one. may actually have one in the next 10 minutes, but I think they do that just so the store doesn’t get overcrowded cuz it can get quite crowded in there. Their stuff is very popular. So, keep that in mind. It might change in the future. Not sure, but it’s the start of the event, so a lot of people wanted to get their merchandise early, but we’re going to line up because it’s time and I’m looking at my wrist. That is the wrong wrist. Watches on the other one, but it’s time for us to line. So, we’re going to go line up and then look at the merchandise. Oh my goodness, look at all the merchandise. So good. T-shirts and hats. Of course, you can get the straw hat. Awesome. Hat is 4,700 yen. Oh, 4,900. This would be great for the summer. Nice and breathable. Oh, that is a nice shoulder bag. 3,900 yen. That’s fun, too.

So, hopefully, you know, you watch my video and you you know exactly what you want to get. It’s a little uh strict, but I understand why they do it because in past years, the store would just be overrun. So, there wasn’t a lot of people in there, which is actually quite nice. So, just remember you need to do the reservation once you’re in the park that I showed you earlier and make sure you’re on time for that. Okay, let’s go find some more stuff. There’s a new popcorn bucket that just came out this summer and I want to show you cuz it’s so cool. How adorable is this popcorn bucket? I love it so much. So, when you get it, you can ask for the popcorn separate. So, I got it separate so they don’t put it inside here. The special flavor is the black pepper, but I believe that’s only inside Super Nintendo World. So, we bought this at the popcorn stand at that is at the front of the park. So, we just got salt. The best part. So, this is where the popcorn goes in. So, it doesn’t actually go inside here. So, it doesn’t get all, you know, dirty and oily and all that. And it just twists in and the top pops off. And that’s where the popcorn will go. The strap. Super cute. Super adorable. Super Nintendo. However, there’s one more thing. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. They didn’t just make a cute popcorn bucket of one of the characters. No. They They could have stopped here. They really could have. But no, they went the extra mile. There’s a switch and you turn it. Now, it’s a little light. It’s too much sunlight. It’s not going to be easy to see, but it starts glowing red. Can you see that a little bit? Yeah, it starts glowing red. You can see the lights inside. There we go. That’s a better better look. This is probably the best one they’ve made for the Super Nintendo World Popcorn Buckets. So cute. Okay, let’s continue on with the summer festivities. Let’s go, buddy. And there’s no limit summer dance nights with Hiba Japan. So they got some merchandise as well. So like different key chains and stuff. 2,000 yen each. Yeah. All these different key chains of different uh bands and stuff. Group group groups I should say. And scarf towel. That’s really nice with the different names on there. And this is what 2,100 yen. They have a t-shirt for 4700 in again. All the different uh names, group names and stuff on here. I recognize a couple. I know BTS. I know 17. Which ones do you know? Please tell me. Do you know all of them? I don’t. Starting to feel my age. We have a pass case. I do love a pass case. Uh 2600 again. And a tote bag. Same design as the t-shirt. How much is this? How much are you? You are 3,900 yen. So, this is the parade route for the parade. So, we were standing here, Grammarc Park, where the 360 spot is, and that’s the paid area. But all along here along the parade route, you can stand along there on the outside. You just can’t stand on the inside. That’s extra to be paid for through the website. And the water shooter is 3500 yen if you want to get one. We’re going to look for cooling merchandise to keep you cool like this stuff. So they have all these different hoods. So they’re like towel fabric, right? Keeps the sun off of you, which is nice. I’ll go find out how much they are. They’ve had these for a while. They’re not new, but it’s always good to know. Wait a minute. Wait, I haven’t seen this before. It’s me, a Mario. It’s a goal. Woohoo. There’s even Mario gloves. That’s hilarious. 2,700 yen. This is still wonderful, though. Going to do it again. Oh, here they are. So, they have different hooded towels. How much are these? These are 4,100 yen. Princess Peach and Mario, Toad, and Yoshi. I definitely recommend these. Oh, this is new. So, I bought this at Epic Universe in the US, but they have them here at Univers Japan as well. So, you put your power up band in and then you can carry like a little keychain. It’s 2,800 yen. Not summer related, but I wanted to show it because this is cool. And you got to keep the UV rays off your eyes, protect your eyes. UV 400 of these sunglasses. Very stylish. 3900 yen. They even have other characters, too. Snoopy, Tim, and Elmo. Hello Kitty. Jaws, Cookie Monster, Minions. That is so cute. Misting fans. Got to love a Misting fan. 3,200 yen. Love the Minions. And I love the Hello Kitty one and Jurassic Park. Oh, they have cooling towel. So, this is 3,000 yen. It’s Mario. Can see the mushroom in there. It’s cute. Blooper. Bloop. Oh, there’s the design. That’s nice. Is it 2000? Yeah, that’s really nice. That’s what the design looks like. Oh, they have another one. Oh, I like the towel. Very rainbow. Happy Pride, everybody. 2600 yen. Oh, and shout out to this Australian family that I met today in the park. Hello. Hope you’re having fun. If you ever see me in the park, please say hello. I’m more than happy to say hello. Oh, they have the cooling rings for your neck. So, these are for kids or if you have a very small neck. So it like it’s not frozen. There’s like a special like material inside. It’s solid and it absorbs your body heat. So it helps cool you down. And then to reset it, you just leave it room temperature, put in the fridge. This is new. It is a Koopa Junior fan. 3900 yen. That is That is fantastic. Oh, I want this. That is so cute. Oh, and of course we have a Mario fan. Water mister 3,200 yen fans. Fans galore. Mist fan 3,800 yen. So we got Snoopy. We got the minions. And we have Jaws. I like the Jaws one. That’s very nice. I love that you can put water in them. Oh, cute UV umbrellas. Yes, I’m a big advocate for UV umbrellas. Seriously, they work. I carry one all the time for 3000 yen. And there’s a Snoopy one. These work. It’s like having portable shade. Staying out of the sun is important. Oh, nice. Another hooded towel. Uh 4,000 yen. There’s a sneaky version. Oh, here they are. That’s what they look like. So nice. As always, please tell me if there’s anything in here you’d like. Please tell me in the comments what you would buy because I want to know. I would love to know. Oh, there’s even more. Hello Kitty and Tim and Minions. More of the cooling rings. Oh, here’s the bigger one. Universal Stage Gen. This is my size. My neck is not that small. That would fit maybe my arm. But these do work. Seriously, like they don’t last forever. Like maybe an hour. But it’s better than nothing. I do like it cuz I don’t like the ice packs cuz ice packs are like intense and then they’re just like you got to throw it away. At least this you get to reuse. Oh, they have new shirts. Oh, Tedisa aka boo. Tedisa. That’s what they’re called in Japanese. 4500 yen. That is good. Tetisa and we got King Koopa. Okay, for Koopa. Oh, they even have a Mario one. Super Nintendo World. Mario on the back. And of course, Luigi. So, it looks like goes up to size XL. Remember, in Japan, you usually have to go one size up. So, if you’re medium, you’re probably going to be a large. Not for everyone, but just kind of general rule of thumb. So they have a wet zone which is right in front of the spy family area or the attraction and water will spray out. So if you need to cool down, it’s a really good place to go. Tons and tons of water. Oh shoot. Look at all that. Look at Look at all the water. Yeah, that’s awesome. You can see they even close the snack stand because you get drenched over there. That’s hilarious. I love it. So, some of the crew will actually do like art on the on the ground with water. So, we’re going to look at that really quick. Hi. Shimos. Oh, I see. I see. I see. [Music] Woodpecker. [Laughter] Bye-bye. So, there’s some summer food here at Mel’s and it’s part of the summer dance nights with Hive Japan. And if you get one of the special meals, you get a special coaster. And one of the special burgers is actually this crunchy taco burger meal. I’m not going to be eating it this time. We’re having a lot of food today, so I’m not going to overdo it, but if you try it, please let me know how it is. At Louis, they have a summer pizza. They brought back the garlic shrimp pizza, which is actually quite good. I had it last year, so I won’t be eating it today, but I do re recommend it cuz I had it last year and I’m pretty sure it’s the same. It’s It’s always good. And I’m not usually someone who likes shrimp on pizza, but it was actually delicious. The Universal Marketplace. They have some summer foods that we’re going to try out. The first is this bimbop burrito. Pork and guacamole. 900 yen. Yum. The other food item we’re doing is a Korean style fried chicken hot dog. 950 yen. Okay. Hello. Let’s get this. There’s also some special drinks for the summer dance nights. So, blue lchi and lemon soda. Not going to be getting them today. I’m a little sugared out, but know that these are also an option. Korean fried chicken hot dog. I don’t know why they call it hot dog. I don’t think there’s I don’t think there’s sausage in this, but there’s definitely Korean fried chicken in here with some seaweed on the top. I love Korean fried chicken. It is like a guilty pleasure of mine. It is delicious and I’m excited to try this. It looks messy though. These hot dogs are always messy. They always have these messy hot dogs. Okay. Try and get to the middle cuz I know that’s where all the flavor is. I usually like to have a few bites to try and get into the middle cuz you know sometimes the first bite is not indicative of how it’s going to taste cuz sometimes you get all bun or you don’t get everything all in one bite. So I’m working my way to the middle. It packs some heat. There’s some heat in this Korean fried chicken, you know, when they have heat, they have heat. Now, this isn’t like super spicy. So, just a little bit. So, it’s not going to I don’t think it’s going to bother anyone. Little just a little bit of heat. I wish there was more. I think I think I would have preferred maybe a bit more, but still, this is really great. And I love the seaweed on top. Gives it a nice salty flavor. And the sauce, delicious. Nice and sweet and tangy, but also spicy. I love all the different types of flavors that you get in this. I’m gonna give this a four and a half. Yeah, four and a half. The bun is a vessel. This is definitely a great snack. So, apparently this is the movie set from Hard Times. Never heard of that movie. Apparently in Japanese it’s called Street Fighter. I read that first and I thought, “Oh, what what in John Con Vanam is going on here?” But no, it’s not Street Fighter as we know it. It’s a different movie. Anyway, um, welcome to my back alley burrito. The bimbop burrito with pork and guacamole. It actually looks really tasty. Listen, I don’t know how I come up with these things, okay? A lot of this is just off the cuff, so bear with me. Me and my silliness. Mm- mm mm. They’re trying to come for my burrito. I don’t know what Heather and Brad are doing up there, Brad. No, you’re not getting any. Uh-uh. Stop. Stop, please. Anyway, so for those of you that don’t know what bim and bop is, it’s a Korean dish and it’s usually in a stone bowl which gives the rice a nice crunch which I absolutely love. And it has different vegetables like bean sprouts and other stuff. And then there’s rice of course and various toppings, pork and other meats and stuff. And there’s usually like a hot sauce. This is interesting. I love that they’re taking a big swing with this. And I quite enjoy this. I wish there was more guacamole. It’s like a little dollop of guacamole. Like, no, no, no. We need we need to do more. But as we know, guacamole is expensive. There’s bean sprouts in here. There’s pork. There’s a hot sauce in here. Just a little bit of spice. Not too much. I wish it was more spicy, and I wish there was more guacamole. But overall though, this is a really great snack. The heat is setting in. I take that back. This is actually a little spicy. I need to get a new water bottle. I actually bought this when Super Nintendo World opened in 2020. The first time I went, remember that video? How long How many of you have been here since that video? That video I think is reaching almost 14 million views. That’s the video that like took off everything that you’re seeing today. But it took me so long to get to this point. Like before that, I was doing YouTube for years. And then that video is the one that kind of like made everything just explode, which I’m very grateful for. And this just kind of reminds me all of all that. So, I’m very sentimental with this. Even though it is a little worse for wear, but it is treating me well. I’m going to give this a four. I just wish there was more guacamole and a little bit more spice and maybe a little bit more pork. For the price I’m paying, there’s just not enough. There’s not enough. It should been a little bit bigger. But overall though, it’s a great snack and it’s delicious. Yeah. Well, we have some more Korean inspired food to try. So, let’s go. Let’s get out of this back alley. There’s a mega cool zone here. So, if you need to cool down, they have these huge fans that are spraying water. Well, mist, I should say. You know what? Let’s try it out. Nothing beats a Jet 2 holiday. And right now, you can save £50 per person. That’s £200 off for a family of four. So, as you know, summer is very hot and I am a big advocate for having salt tablets because it helps you just feel good. And University of Japan has crew members all over that are giving out these free salt tablets. So, we’re going to get one. Hi. Byebye. All right, let’s eat it. So, it’s just a little salt tablet. I think it’s ramen flavored. Salt tablets are always a good thing. The Wicked event is still happening right now. It’s going into the end of the year. So, I did a full video showing everything Wicked cuz there’s a greeting. You can meet Alphaba and Glenda right there. So, if you haven’t seen that video, make sure you go and watch it. Okay. Go watch it. Yeah. Sanji’s restaurant is back for One Piece Premiere Summer. It’s 7,000 yen, but the only downside is you have to reserve it through the Japanese website and it’s quite popular, so there’s a good chance it’s already sold out. I did it last year and it was a lot of fun. So, if you’re able to get tickets, I do recommend it. It’s only in Japanese, though. But if you’re a fan, I mean, you got to you got to at least try. Right beside Sanji’s restaurant, you can get this frozen smoothie that’s dedicated to Nami. It’s mandarin orange and peach. This one’s easy. You just line up and get it. There’s also some One Piece food here in Jurassic Park. This is my favorite coaster in the entire world. It is intense. It opened in 2016, I believe. It’s a flying coaster and it’s wild. You need to do it if you love coasters. That first drop Oh, [Music] bye. And right now it’s only 20-minute wait or 15 minutes for single rider. That’s pretty good. They’ve gotten a lot more efficient with it. So, the wait time is not as long as it used to be, which is nice. Also, the Jurassic World event is still happening, so there’s baby dinosaurs. There’s some special food and decorations and stuff. I did another video on that, so I’ll pop it up on the screen for you so you can go and check that out later. The baby dinosaurs are super cute. Like, it’s worth it just for the baby dinosaurs. So, here at the Feast Market, they have Swordman Zoros, green tea, shaved ice with red beans, and wab mochi. That actually sounds really good. In Jimbe’s World, cool soda, lime and orange. I love shaved ice. Also known as kakori in Japanese. So shaved ice is a very popular thing in the summer cuz it’s shaved ice and it keeps you cool. What else do you want? So we have some red beans on here. So they’re like a sweet red beans. So it’s usually in desserts. Then we have wab mochi which is pounded rice and it’s very jiggly. And this has matcha everywhere. And there’s some chocolate and stuff on here as well. [Music] Yum. Oh, the chocolate and the matcha together is really lovely. M. It’s not super sweet either, which is also really nice. I mean, matcha is not typically sweet. So, I have some red bean on there. Water mochi. I adore love. I was going to say fantasize. No, that’s not the word. Dream. That’s That’s a better word of wab emoji. I love it. It’s hitting all the right notes. It also helps cool you down. It’s the right amount of sweetness. And I think the matcha, the amount of matcha on there is good cuz sometimes there could be too much matcha. You can’t have too much matcha. If you’re a matcha fan, you’re going to love this. I love this. This is a five. Delicious. Absolutely delicious. Over at Survival Snacks in Jurassic Park, there’s even more One Piece food. Yes. So, you get this dark chocolate chorito and also spicy red chicken. This is a lot bigger than I thought it was going to be. It’s 1,300 yen. So, I thought, “Oh, that’s a lot.” But then when I got it, yeah, this is huge. packaging. What What is there to say? They always do a good job with the packaging, but look how big this chicken is. Like, this is not a small piece of chicken. And it smells good. And it smells spicy. Do I have enough water? I hope so. Look how juicy that is. M. It’s hot. Like temperature- wise, it’s very hot. I’m trying to get to the spice. I’m battling between it being physically hot and spicy hot. right now. [Music] This is some high quality fried chicken. They’re screaming for joy in how delicious it is. Nice and crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside. That’s what you want. And there’s bone in this. Just so you know, there there is a bone. The spice is there. I think I think I would have preferred if it was maybe more spicy. Like maybe if it was like the whole thing was breaded in spice, I think that would have been nice. I want I want more spice out of this is what I’m saying. The sprinkling spice on top is nice, but I think it needs more. A little bit more. It’s still delicious. I’m going to eat this whole thing. Four and a half. Give it a four and a half. If it was super spicy, like breaded in red chicken, like a red chicken, it would have been a five. But this is still really good. Like they do every year, they change one of the restaurants here in Jurassic Park into the One Piece restaurant. And look at look at the banners up there with all the different characters. Very colorful. And we’re going to head inside and try some of the food. Welcome, AOY Chosen Pirates. Welcome to our pirate exclusive restaurant. We’re here to treat you with the finest hospitality so you can relax and recover from your grand adventures. Now look at the different food. Yes. Okay, let’s go get a seat. And as always, they have nice artwork in here. I love the mural and the banners. And you can hear the characters basically yelling at each other. Okay, we need to find a spot. There’s even banners outside. It’s hot. So, we’re trying out three of the meals and two of the desserts today. First up is Usopp’s fish burger with basil tartar sauce. And I love the presentation. And I love the little star that’s in there. And on the back is another design. I love that. That is so fun. I do love tartar sauce. And there’s a little lemon, little wedge of lemon. So I’m going to I’ve already made a mess. So you don’t make a mess like me. They have a special wrapping paper for the burger and it’s one piece design. That’s really nice. Nice little touch. Put the burger in there. There you go. And that way it doesn’t fall everywhere too, which is really nice. I like the crust on the fish burger. So, usually I’m not a big fan of fish burgers, but this is actually quite delicious. I like the crust. The crust, not the crust, the the breading on the outside. It’s nice and crunchy. And the basil tartar sauce. I love tartar sauce. And it’s not like overly fishy cuz, you know, sometimes burgers can be very fishy. This one is not that. So, if you’re a fishburger fan, you’re really going to like this. I’m pleasantly surprised. And I want to know what this the star is. [Music] It’s potato. I’m going to give this one a three and a half. Three and a half. That’s pretty good for a fish burger. Next up, we have Frankie’s Cajun chicken burger again with the beautiful packaging. And there’s even little tortillas in here. And on the back, another design. There’s a lot going on with this burger. I don’t know what is all on here, but it’s a fried chicken patty. And it looks like a bunch of stuff. You know what? We’re going to find out what it is. Get our trusty wrapping paper again. It looks like there’s sausage in this or something. Yum. It’s s It smells spicy. The chicken is nice and juicy and the breading outside is really nice and it does have some kick. It’s not super spicy. So, if you can handle a little bit of spice, this is a little bit spicy. I wouldn’t call it like super It’s not setting my mouth on fire or anything like that. It’s not bad. I think I like the fish burger better than the chicken one, which is unusual for me. Usually I’m like, “Oh, yeah. The chicken burger is fantastic.” Like, it’s fine. It’s nice and juicy. I think in terms of flavor, though, I think the fish burger has a little bit more flavor with the basil tarter sauce. But with this, I think there’s sausage in it, too. Little bits of sausage. I’m going to give this one a three. It’s a solid three. If you sit long enough, you can hear the characters talking about eating the food, which is hilarious. I love that. Finally, we’re having Luffy’s stamina burger. And this thing is a beast. There’s a lot on this. There’s I think roast beef and bacon and an onion ring and a burger patty. And there’s even sausage. Packaging is really nice. And then on the back, more designs or a design, I should say. Oh my goodness. It’s huge. Oh, there’s some sauce on here, too. Okay. I don’t know how I’m going to do this. [Music] This is a hefty burger. Oh my goodness. A lot of flavors going on with this one. Very meaty and incredibly filling. I think I like this more than the chicken burger, but not as much as the fish burger. Yeah. Interesting. Very hardy. M. The sausage is nice. There’s a barbecue sauce on here too as well. And the dressing or the sauce is more like a thousand island, I think. Yes. A lot of flavors going on. I do like it. I’m going to give this one I’m going to give it a three. Yeah, this one gets a three. Out of all of them, the fish burger was actually my favorite. For dessert, we have Robin’s flower flour mixed berry pancake. And the residation on this is gorgeous. I love the different layers. All the different berries in there. Very pretty. I love the flower petals on there, too. This is nice and light. And I love the mixed berries. The berry compost on the top is nice and tart, so it cuts into the sweetness of the the mousse that’s in here. This is a delicious dessert. This is a five. A five 100%. And it’s not super sweet either. It’s nice and light. The other dessert is Choppers jellied peach and panacana panakana dessert. It’s really hard to record with all this going on. This is really cute. Not a fan of peaches, so we’ll see how I like this. Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum. We’ll try again. I’m not doing very good with this. Struggling with this one. The jelly is very jelly today. Okay. It’s very subtle in its flavor with the peach. I don’t know what the blue is exactly. You know what? It’s fine. Presentation is fantastic, but I’m not a big fan of peaches. So, I personally wouldn’t get this one. I would get the pancakes over this. So, I would give this a two, but then I’ll give it an extra five. So, two and a half cuz of the presentation is so cute. Just uh eat it a little more carefully than I did. Hey explorers. Hi, it’s me. I just want to remind you about our guide book, guide books, I should say. We have two for Universal Studios Japan. So, we have an illustrated guide book that shows you the best snacks in the park that are typically available year round. They are handpicked and we also handdrawn a lot of them. Our wonderful artist, she did such an amazing job, Giovana. And we also have our bigger guide book that tells you everything, everything you need to know for Universal Su Japan. From when to visit, how to deal with the crowds, how the tickets work, how the express passes work, and all my best tips that I have learned from visiting this park since 2003. Okay, the guide book is no joke. And many explorers have planned their trips and everyone has told me they the the guide books made their trip. It made it so much easier, so much less stressful. So, make sure you go and check it out. The QR code’s on the screen. Scan it. It’s a downloadable PDF. We put our heart and soul into these guide books, and I just I’m just so proud of them. So, please go check it out. And also head to our website, tdx4.com/books. Yay. So, on Hollywood Dream, they have the special version. So, there’s one with One Piece and one with Spy Family. So, it’s just tracks you get to listen to. So you get to pick which one you want to do, One Piece or Spy Family. So the One Piece premiere summer show is here in Waterorld, the Water Theater. Looking forward to it. [Applause] [Music] No silver. [Music] That’s no [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] and just saw the One Piece premiere summer show. They do it every single summer and this one was fantastic. And they made a couple changes this year which was interesting. So they have English subtitles for some of the major plot points because before it was you know all in Japanese which makes sense but now they have subtitles on the stage which is really cool for the major plot points. So it’s not for everything but you can at least understand you know the grand scheme of everything which I think is wonderful. Now, for tickets, the only way to get tickets is through the Japanese website, which is a little tough, but what you can do is go to the front of the park on the day of your visit. It has to be the day of your visit, and you can check if they have openings for that day’s performance cuz there’s usually some tickets open. So, I highly recommend doing that. Quick editor’s note here. We found out afterwards that Cluke does sell tickets for the One Piece premiere summer show through their website and the website is in English. So that is the easiest way to get your tickets. So I’ll put a link in the description for you and it’s also in the pin comment. So if you want tickets, make sure you head there cuz it’s super simple. If you’re a One Piece fan, you definitely need to see it because it is wonderful. It it’s they put a lot of effort into it and I really appreciate it. I’m hot. I am tired, but I am just so full of joy. summer Universal Studios Japan. Make sure you come and check it all out. All right, explorers. See you in the next one.

  1. Surprised to see a HYBE merch lol. I actually came for one piece but what a pleasant surprise XD

  2. I just want to express I'm thankful for your videos. I fractured my foot 2 months ago and I'm supposed to have my trip to osaka in Nov this year as well. the fracture is not healed yet cuz it's jone's fracture and im not sure if i'll heal in time for the trip. Your videos are giving me hope to recover.

  3. At least I got to meet the Straw Hat Pirates and experience Jujutsu Kaisen (From USJ) at Universal Studios Hollywood. Still waiting for a Pokémon ride

  4. I love the popcorn container and the Bowser fan❤😍… Stay safe… no matter what… dont slip… Floor will be slippery and stay hydrated Chris… ❤

  5. Thanks for the excellent video Chris!! Wow imagine being in those costumes in that summer heat!

  6. Amazing, thank you, we've been waiting for this video. We're there in a few weeks and my son loves one piece, so happy to see what's there, have a fabulous summer!

  7. Hi Chris! Ill be going to Japan this october I bought your guide books and are amazing! Thank you for that. I was just wonder if by any chance you know why i cant buy my usj express passes and two day passes at klook or the official website. Last day you can buy IS october 13th and the rest says available at park and the express says no stock. Is It sold out already? I was really looking forward to going to universal this trip! Thank you for all your vids they are truly helpful and fun😊

  8. Always enjoy seeing the Unique merchandise we don't get in the States!😮👁😊👍🏼🕺🏽🕺🏽🕺🏽👏🏾🎬💙💜

  9. Hi Chris get the mario head band that you were playing with and the kupa merch that you were looking at. Those are the ones you should get 😊

  10. We have been following your adventures for a few years now and I have to tell you how glad we are to see you out and about and having fun!

    Thanks for your positive energy and for giving us such an amazing channel!

    Cheers and keep up the great work!

  11. Loved the Jet2 reference 😂 so funny to see it being used worldwide not just the UK
    Will be going again this summer and looking forward to the Jurassic Park ride being open and the event. Also just started to watch One Piece so I can appreciate it somewhat now.
    Demon Slayer was the 3D roller coaster last year which was amazing so looking forward to seeing Spy Family theme. Thank you for always sharing 😊

  12. The place that you were pointing at the 2 birds in the back alley, there was a ring bell for service notice on the side of wall. Do you know what will happen if you press the bell

  13. I’m not big on anime. But I love you Chris, and think the theming is cute, so i’m watching this.… But those pancakes are the absolute cutest snacks, I’ve ever seen. What a cute little dessert! I’m not a big sweets person, much like yourself. I find that your responses to foods are probably what I would have when trying those foods. Every video I watch makes me want to get to Japan faster though. We’re thinking 2026 at the end, or 2027. Probably going to order your guides soon.
    💕 as always, much love from a fellow Canuck.

  14. in america our food would be so salty you wouldnt need the tablets lol. always good to stay hydrated (which means electrolytes too!!!). so jealous of the one piece experiences

  15. Hii !!! Ooof that’s odd for the one piece shop I just came back two weeks ago and I went around like 8pm to the shop and it’s so crowded and I had a lot of time to go in maybe it’s only during the daytime when they allow you for 10 mins?
