This coffee says this near Takashita shopping.” Now it’s really far from Takashita is far away. Pakashita is really different area. Very far. We are in Kita Sanju and this area there is nothing similar to Takashita. All right. I didn’t show the entrance of this area. I’m going to check that one. And we go to the main shot again. So, but one thing that is similar to Takashta here, it’s you see a lot of really young people in 20s here. So Kasenjjo it’s not a you know fashionable town like Harajuku or Shibuya or Shinjuku or Wilson but you see a lot of young people here and the reason is there’s a university first of all near this area also kasu is a big hub in north side of Tokyo it’s very lively for living And yeah, I would say it’s the area doesn’t look like Takasha or Harajuku at all, but there’s one similarity and that’s a lot of young people in this town. Too many young people in this town. So you can see very cute, fashionable young people in this area. All right, we checked this area earlier. I think we checked here as well. All right, let’s continue. Look at this one. I like the design of this one. It’s super cool. It’s just very humble and very nice. It’s a bar. Today’s Thursday. I think I did a few live stream back. I think two I think three four months ago but every time was Friday night but now it’s a Thursday night. It seems Thursday is more quiet or maybe it’s because of the summer holiday. Now it’s a summer holiday season Tokyo. I think my phone is broke. Everything is coming out. No worries. All right. So, we just explored 30% of Kasenju. We have 70% more to explore. So, please hit the like button. Let’s make uh 200 likes tonight. If we make 200 likes tonight, we I I’ll take it somewhere somewhere unique. I don’t know where. I always improvise. I don’t plan to go anywhere. So, but if you if you get 200 like for the first time in this channel, then I make sure I make something unique at the end of this video. Okay, let’s go a bit deeper. Heat. Heat. No heat. you if you have if you haven’t hear this name you mark it on your visiting list because it’s really cool. You have to check it. And I’m going to show you this special restaurant that is my favorite, one of my favorite in Tokyo. This is my favorite real fish restaurant in Tokyo. I always find this in everywhere in Tokyo. And I show you guys because it’s really delicious and it’s really cheap. They have all type of fish. Super delicious market. This restaurant. This fish restaurant is my favorite fish restaurant in Tokyo. And the price is very reasonable. 33 boys. But do you think Osaka Expo will be back in September? I think so. Yes. So, I’ve been to Osaka Expo four times. I haven’t upload any videos yet, but I’m going to upload soon. I visited many of them, but it’s crazy. The line is super crazy. Especially, I went there on hot summer day July. I went there on a super rainy in a rainy season of June. in Japan and it was super crowded. You have to line up for 1 hour before you enter the main area. After you enter the main area and then you have to line up for each pavilion, especially if they are big like Japan pavilion and stuff, some of them you you don’t have any chance even you line up for 2 hours. So September is a good weather in Japan in Osaka and it’s I think it’s the last it’s going to be only for 6 months and they started I I don’t know when they start March so I think September October is going to be the last month so I feel it’s going to be super pack that’s my feeling so honu I’m going to check this one out also over there. I’m going to check that one, too. Oh, this is I’m going to go was blinking. Let’s check out this shooting. I actually I had a lunch a few days ago in one of these restaurants. Let’s go check this guy in Kasenju. Let’s see what we get in here. [Music] That’s the car. Okay, Melb. Now I’m not shy to show myself. I am not trying to that’s not the reason. I have some other reason not to show myself. I was shy when I was teenager but now I’m not shy. The reason I don’t show myself is because I am. Let me see the Googles. I need to check that area that I’ve been before. Let’s see. Uh the place that I had launched a few days ago. Where was it? Let me check my Google map one minute. Where was it? Uh yeah, I did some crime in the past. I don’t want to show off. This guy daytime is very lively. Now it’s night time. A lot of them are closed. Oh, Brandon says October is the last month of expo. Yeah. So I think September and October is going to be super pack because it’s the last two months and the weather is good. Even in hot summer it was crowded. The line was big. So I don’t want to disappoint you but you could actually go and enjoy if you don’t mind stay in line for a few hours. Hello. Very nice place. Anyway, [Music] [Music] okay, let’s go. Okay, let me tell you honestly why I’m not showing myself. First of all, when I came to Japan, I did YouTube before when I 9 years ago, 10 years ago, I was in Singapore. I work with a game company in Singapore. Also, I supervised a project for a Canadian company for 3 years. And then when I moved to Japan, so 9 years ago, I had a YouTube channel doing mostly game and stuff, game and VFX stuff, design. Then uh when I came to Japan was very cool, very unique. I did some drone shots. Hello. Hello, Kumbawa. So, I did some uh drone shots just for fun and I uploaded the channel and then after that I did some just random park videos some because it was very interesting and then I say okay just upload in the my main channel that was game and stuff and I got view more than the game and VFX stuff then I say okay let’s just do uh Japanese culture and since I was really busy With the daytime job at the company, I could only walk at night and make video at night and naturally becomes night life and Japan is really cool at night and night life and is a big thing. Alcohol drinking in Japan night life a lot of company workers they get refreshed after a long day working by drinking. So then I felt it’s very beautiful, very natural, very cool and then I made video and then got a lot of view. Then I continued and I changed the channel concept from VFX game to Japanese culture and then I made all the videos private that the back the game related video but because of companies contract in Japan. So the the industry I work for the game and movie industry they are really sensitive to you know if you are doing YouTube they are very sensitive for leaking datas and stuff especially the game companies they are running they are doing the production for 5 years it takes long time so they are very sensitive if you are doing uh social media you’re going to be under focus and some of them even they in mentioning the contract out. So I was so I kept it secret because I didn’t want to show them that I’m doing YouTube and stuff. Then naturally I’ve been doing it secretly YouTube for 5 years. I didn’t want to show anything. I didn’t want to because also I saw some some of my colleagues, some friends, they actually uploaded some some stuff related to the game title in their Instagram and one of them actually got fired. So because of that, I kept it secret. No name, no information, no face, nothing. But since then I’ve been doing it security for 5 years and then I’m used to that secret. Now even though I’m doing I’m focusing on our company Smideywalk since last year then I just I can now actually share my information but now if it’s become like a I don’t know a habit something now I don’t have a motivation to show off because everything in my channel is about Japan Japanese culture. not about me. But one day maybe if I reach 1 million subscriber and some yeah then I think okay I I’ll share my information I show up in front of camera someday. All right that was another I think I have been explaining this a few times now. one more time. I did. Anyway guys, thank you guys. Thank you for listening. Carl Edward say, “Can I ask you Jay, would you do another live stream with Machan?” Uh, okay. Misachan now it’s not work. She’s not working in Asakusa anymore. I think she left Asakusa. So, uh, I don’t know. Maybe maybe I’ll do maybe but used so she used to work in Asakusa until I think few months ago. No, I think she’s not in Asakusa anymore. So it’s bit more difficult because I am all business is centered in Asakusa. So yeah hopefully one day I can do I don’t see any any issue with that. Adam says which program do you use at work? Maya 3D Max. I want to I want I went to college for VFX as well. Actually I started with the soft image back then a long time ago. I started with soft image and then soft image is gone both by autodisk and then I used autodisk Maya and then I switched to 3dmax and then I switched to motion builder and then I use Maya and again 3D Max Blender as well and also for some game company they have their own software I keep actually I’ve been using at least four or five software so But now I think the Maya is the best among them in general average. In Japan still some big companies they use 3D Max. So for example from software still uses 3D Max which is one of the cool coolest game companies but I think Maya is recommended but if you have the skill switching the software is not really difficult. So it takes maybe few weeks but you can switch. I’ve been switching many times. Hello Marcus. Well I was surprised when I first saw J that long blonde hair and a milk. What? All right. All right, Marcus. Let’s have a beer together someday. Okay. Traveling stream is harder to get 1 million sub unless you are like, “Yeah, it’s hard, but I I am going to make it one day. All right, let’s continue our adventure in Kasenjjo. Don’t forget to hit the like button, guys, if you are enjoying this video. And if you if you’re watching this video more than 10 minutes, please this video deserve a like button. If it’s 5 minutes is okay. Maya I think is more popular than even 3D Max. 3D Max is more for architecture modeling and stuff. Maya in general is more popular. But Maya and 3D Max are really expensive. Blender is free. So you can do all the cool stuff with Blender. It’s free. Car the like button. Thank you call. Thank you very much. And super you will get there. Thank you very much. All right. So far we actually explored the north side of the station. North side of not fully explored. Let’s go to the south side of the station and then we come back again to see some other area. Okay, Jimmy says I’m going to get off here. See you guys soon. I’m going to go to the bed. All right. Good night, Jimmy. See you. So Bobby says, “Blender I use a lot for testing only.” Yeah, Blender is cool. Is strong. Is really nice and it’s it’s free. You can do all the stuff in Blender. But these days this is really is it’s tricky because AI is doing all the stuff in a few minutes. So in Maya in 3D software you need to design character, model the character, texture the color, set up a rig, animate, render, lighting a composite and all those stuff. AI with a few clicks does everything again. A few a few years later, I think AI is going to take over everything. So, it’s really tricky. all the cool stuff that I have been doing with like a game design and stuff, motion design, all things now. It’s done with a few clicks in some AI softwares. So I don’t see any future seriously for the you know for those additional jobs. Everything is taking over by AR uh I don’t So in the future I think some job still can survive like directing instead of like a technical know like for example some jobs like rigers 3D designer animators modelers texture a lot of jobs in the future I’m not I’m not sure when 5 years later, 10 years later, it’s going to be taken over by AI. But still, they need directors, they need supervisors. So those manager jobs, I think they can survive for a while longer. Hello. All right, we are heading from north side of the station to the south side of station. Southern side of station is a bit more quiet, more chill. But there are some pool bars in this area, too. So, I’m going to show you there. Hit the like button, guys. 94 likes car. Yeah. We are heading out to see the minami side north south side of the station. I wanted to get into the game design industry but instead I got to it. I think it Yes, you made a nice choice. It still is going to be very strong. It is still will survive for much longer even with a strong AI technology. Anyway, we are in the south side of station. This is more chill, is more relaxed, and everything is a bit cheaper here. It’s more quiet. Nako. All right, I’m going to start from here. Here we are in Nakacho. Nakato is the red light area in Bueno. So when I say red light, [Music] it’s a bit confusing.

I think we checked. Not sure. We’re going to check it again. Let’s go from here. Little lower. Very beautiful 4K 60s. I am using most high quality setups for live stream. And it’s super heavy this setup. Sometimes, you know, people complain why I keep it a slow because the setup is really heavy. It takes half of my energy to deal with this setup and half for talking and explaining. So, it’s really difficult explanation while holding this heavy setup. A lot of people they do with uh mobile so mobile or light setup and I think it’s much easier to talk and walk at the same time but this setup is really difficult to walk and talk at the same time also checking the chat especially in this hot summer. So it takes a lot of energy but also I want to show you details. This why I take the shot. I try to if I walk quicker I have to you know I can’t show you the detail because this camera is really good. The lens is good. The streaming setup is good. I want to show you slowly the details. So if some of you guys really wanted the quicker walk, quicker explanation, quicker, this setup is not is not made for that. This is for details recording slowly everything everywhere. All right, let’s go back to the another area. Hello, Pedro. Pedro is here. Welcome to the live stream. Yeah, this lenses I have most of Sony lenses, fullframe lenses, five, six of them I have, even the G Master one I have. So I try to, you know, do test them all.

So that bar you can drink all you can drink for 5,000 but you can stay until morning. You can sing, drink until morning for 5,000, but you have to buy drink for the girls. And if you buy drink for the girls, you have to pay additional 1,000 for each drink you give them. Because if you want to talk to if you want to have fun until morning, you have to have a company. The girls, you need to talk to them or sing with them. Then you have to you have to provide you know they need energy you have to buy them drink and each drink is additional 1,000 that’s the system of that Bit [Music] [Music] Yeah, that one was because I’ve been to a lot of girls bar. I need to see something new, something different than I go in. because I shot a lot of videos in many type of so I have to have additional motivation something unique some new concept also you can see the rats here many rats or [Music] Oh.

So we are here because she goes to we going to actually go check out the which is a super drinking super lively drinking area just behind this buildings in front of us. Well, let’s have another look at the Nacho hidden area before we go. All right, guys. Heat. Heat. Oawa, what happens in the bar, Brian? Yes, super hot. Today is Today was afternoon was like 34° by super humid. It’s like it feels like 40 actually. So power maybe you mean that what what happened inside the girls bar you just pay for the time being with the girls working with them buying drink for So they can be motivated to talk to you. Also, you have all you can drink menu. Usually they say 3 4,000 per hour, but usually it’s more than that with the tax and stuff. And you have to be careful because when you go inside alone, when you drink a lot, then it’s much easier to be you know, it’s not all of them, but you have to control it, you know. So, it’s not easy, but how you can manage your wallet. So, that was the area we checked earlier. There are many hotels over there too. Those are love hotels. So in case you made a partner, you can just go inside the L hotel, stay for a few hours and see on the morning. There are many taxis here because a lot of customers might use one of the taxis to go somewhere or after midnight there is no train. So if they want to go somewhere and they need taxi. So as you see there are too many signs everywhere. bars. later. Let’s continue. Guys, please. So, there is donkey out there everywhere in Tokyo. They are open 24 hours. Heat. Heat. Pat 895 say six more to go. Thank you. Six more lights, please. 20 minutes to last train. All right, 20 minutes to last train. That’s uh a rough idea of the train because some train usually work until some train work until 12:30 like it depends also where you are. Shinjuku if you consider Shinjuku a few trains have the last train at 12:30 is 1228 but also it depends where you go but now we are in Oo I don’t need really last train here I can just use a scooter only 10 minutes to my place or I can walk from here to my guys. 25 minutes from here to my place. So, tonight I’m not really worried about the last. Okay. So, yeah. What was the deal for the 100 like Allen says? We didn’t make a deal. Let’s make a deal. Brian like first one. Thank you for the the super tanks. Thank you, Brian. Brian from Australia. Right. All right. Let’s check out some K is in the south side of Nakato area. This also is a Yoshima station. As you see the station is Yoshima on Chuda line and we are checking this area now. bar here. It’s nice. Yeah, actually there are many bars in Orino. Surprisingly many. It looks small but there are many bars in general. I’m saying bar but there are mostly gears bar kajjo club tachinoi also some other massage and some other stuff here like this. So I can use one of this scooter like this to reach my place in 10 minutes. It’s called R in Tokyo. Okay, we made it. All right, thank you very much. We made it to 100. Let’s have a small celebration. All right, look at this bar. This is This is not a bar. It’s a building with at least six bars. All those signs, creative signs and uh DN M And I can’t read that one. Luna, they’re all bars. Some of them are Kokar, Gar, Kavajjo, and many other things. Let’s go from here. My bar. Is it Maya? This is another reason for those. Hello. A lot of catchers in here. Hello. Is it bar disco bar? Okay. I don’t know. She’s laughing at the camera, but she doesn’t see it. What is this? Is that Yeah. As you see too many signs means to me the serious places that marked. Maybe I try that one accelerate the 100 like [Music] Hello. [Music] Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. [Music] speech. All right, guys. This chair is here. Thank you. Who gave this last super chat? It says for a drink was Carl Edward, I think. Cheers, Carl. Cheers everyone. Thank you very much for the 100 likes. All right. Now it’s almost midnight. I’m going to show you now the drinking area in Hayyoko. Midnight summer holiday version. All right. I see. Okay. What I say is thank you very much. What? I just got lemon sour. Thank you. probably. Actually, the white dress catchers that we just saw, they were from they were uh Vietnamese. That one is a Vietnamese ball. The white dress earlier we saw Oh, that’s [Music] Antonio Garcia Lopez. But what are those girls doing? I don’t like to see them like that. So, yeah. Sorry you feel that way because you’re not familiar with Japanese culture. That’s the way is very normal in Japan business. They are just waiting for customers to invite them inside the bars. They get paid for that job and there are many girls in Tokyo. It’s very different than your culture here in Japan is very normal. So if you comparing if you are thinking about those girls with your own culture that’s a uh wrong comparison in Japan is very different. So if you live in Japan, you get used to it and they are doing a job. They are getting paid for that. They are choosing that job because the payment at night is much better than like a daytime restaurant. A lot of them actually are a student and they are getting maybe three times more money than the daytime job. So they have many job option in Japan but they choose that one. I’m not trying to be mean but yeah. So I’m just trying to you know clarify the situation. So a lot of you guys not a lot some of you been to Japan you are thinking about the situation in Japan with your own background which is wrong. Japan is different. So you should not judge the situation in Japan with your own you know comparing to your own culture your own background and every country is different so you cannot just judge some element of a culture with your different colors just put them together it’s But I mean they are I don’t say this is this is actually difficult job they are doing waiting for customers in hot summer night or cold winter night outside is not easy but they chose the job they have other options too especially in Japan. There are in Japan there are many job opportunity for like even daytime easier job but the payment is normal but this type of job the payment is higher so that’s why they chose this and a lot of them actually love this job I interviewed many of them actually many of these girls love this job because they love drinking culture they like conversation they like meeting new people. So those type of personality, you know, that accept this type of job, they actually having fun with it. Uh the so in Japan there are many type of night life places like a gears bar, kabakura, snack bar, concept cafe, many type and regulation for it in Japan has a lot of detailed rule and they have to exactly follow the rule because all of them is connected in order to the tax system. how much they pay taxes based on the bars working. So working system. So if for example it’s a Kabakura they kakura girls actually get much more 1 hour maybe 5 6,000 yen maybe five six it depends also the girls experience the girls appearance conversation communication skill and other stuff. So also it depends where they work if it’s Ginsa or it’s just Shinyuku or Oo. So the system the prices is really different. So yeah they and some the payment also some of them they get some percentage if they get customer some of them no it’s just part of the job they have a fixed salary but in general the average of night life job like this is much higher than daytime mode also they have a system is called Dhan or B4 Li X. I have made a lot of video about this system is I know a lot of details about them because I talked with a lot of them and there are many of you know system based on like the regulation that they have with the Japanese government. The the way they pay tax makes everything different. But in general uh they have also a service is called before. So they can go out with customer trusted customer. They pay the customer has to pay for the dinner and the drink before they enter the bar. So they go to a different restaurant, they drink with the customer, customer pays and also because of that is like a fake date. So the customer has to go to the shop with them and buy expensive drinks instead of that service. So expensive champagne at least like 20,000 yen like $200 or some of them they have to they pay for additional for going to a dinner which is called before in Japanese. Also, they have another uh system is called Dhan. That’s even more expensive. That means after midnight, after the bar uh working hours finished, they still can continue drinking outside of the bar with the girl, they can invite them with some other bars and then for that also they have to pay additional. They have to buy drink. So, it’s more money. So those girls that accept going out with customers before and after they get even much more money. So yeah, there are many systems. Also, it’s complicated to put it in a, you know, and it’s in just one line to explain. It depends on the girl. Some of them, if they trust the customers, this is a secret thing I’m telling you. No, no, not many of them. They tell you this. Some girls might secretly, it’s not the business, it’s not the business side, might date actually actual date with customers if they get a good money if they trust the customers. So it’s rare is not like a common thing. It depends on the girl secretly. But you can’t expect that. You can’t look at the all the girls like that. Only a few%. Most of the girls like a lot of girls are a student. Very nice girls. They just want to drink with the guys. They go out, but they don’t really offer any sexual service, anything. So, it’s very complicated, mysterious, hidden. You don’t know and you never know. Now we are heading to Amyoku area. That is a drinking area. It’s a crazy night life. Hit the like button, guys. Thank you. Maybe we can make 200 likes tonight. But yeah, that’s I’m not expecting that one. We never made 200 like on this channel, but one day I’m going to do that challenge. Let’s see. [Applause] This is oneway station. Midnight oneway station. Super hot summer holiday. And let’s see what we going to see in the drinking area. Oh, that’s 200 like I don’t know. It was in the main channel is no in the main channel we actually we had 1,000 likes too. In the main channel we actually we hit,000 like I think we didn’t we didn’t get the 200 like on this is a crazy drinking area in this town summer holiday. Let’s say only No, we actually we didn’t we didn’t hit 200 like on this channel. We didn’t we never had 200 like on this channel. And uh the on Japan explore we had 1,000 like yeah was what was it like? I don’t know. It was Shinjuku. It wasn’t Shinjuku. I think it was Shinjuku or Shimbash. We we hit the 1,000 likes in the main channel and in this channel we only had 100 likes. We challenged once but we didn’t. Hello. Oh, this is area. So, it’s midnight. It’s not as crazy as usual here. One reason it’s a summer holiday. Another reason is Tuesday, right? But mostly I think related to summer a lot of people are chilling at home or they they gone back to their hometown. Somebody. Yeah, so yeah, it’s more quiet cuz I’m so Oh, heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. So I can use oil line to go back home to Okachimachi station. It’s like 5 10 minutes away. But I think still we have time Oh, heat, heat. All right, let’s walk from the main street. Then we slowly go towards Okachim area. Let me see the chat. Antonio says, “I’m loving this place here. This place is one of the liveliest casual drinking area in Tokyo. Super nice. Daytime is shopping area. Nighttime is drinking area. This area actually has a little history. It was a black market during World War after World War II actually. Now is also you can see some some of those old style shops in here but mostly now is like a lot of tourists come here and buy taxi shops taxree items and over there is Oo Park has big shrine temples and some museum. This is a famous spot for Sakura season. So that area behind those building we just checked earlier the Nakato red light area we’re going straight is Akiara. Heat. Heat. Yeah. From here to Okavara is only Yeah. If you walk quickly, it’s like 10 minutes. If you walk like this, like me, it’s 15 minutes. It’s very close. And yeah, but Akiara Akavara is a made coffee town. Is a cute town. We are doing made coffee hopping tour in Akiara too. So check that one out at Smiley Walk as well. So the different between Akawara and Oo is Akawara is he was you know also Akawara after World War somehow was a black market buying and sending radio all the TV radio and stuff and then later becomes a center for electronic stuff. And now is the biggest electronic old gadget everything you can find in a biggest one is you watch camera of course and then the camera. So is a also town game animation not animation sorry anime related this stuff has many car as you This Roman restaurant is open. So ramen restaurants are open as long as bars and isakay are open because Japanese people love drinking, love eating ramen after drinking. And this really good tastes even better after drinking. So this way a lot of ramen shops are open until morning. So that was the area we checked earlier. That was the area the red light area and this is lively until morning. It’s somehow like Kabukito sleepless town. This machine is the largest electron electronation stores. Yeah, it’s it’s they say it’s the largest, but the one in a in Osaka also is really big. There are a few big udawashi all over Japan. Almost same size as in Akiabara. It is not super clear which one is the biggest one. But as far as for the history and name go that’s the the one in Akawa is the the biggest one. Yeah. In the world. If it’s the biggest in Japan that means the biggest in the world too. [Music] But I’m coming to Japan in 10 days. Then join the smiley world tours. Let’s meet up in we are doing very unique tours in Japan. Night life history town.

  1. I'm so glad I found your channel a couple years ago. I get to write down such awesome under-represented places for my japan trip. Honestly as an introvert, a bar crawl through this Kitasenju area would be less intimidating. Food for thought, might be a good option for tours.
