Banzai Japan (2025) Okinawa: Episode 23 – Junglia Part 4 (Shows and Other Experiences)
Yeah. Heat. [Music] After all the drama of the rides, the high elements, and the overpriced food, you’d think I’d have nothing left to say about Junga. But no, there’s more. Welcome to episode 23. The events, the extras, the could have been. [Music] [Applause] Heat up here. [Music] [Applause] [Music] It’s time for me to reveal the answer to last week’s hidden yellow pig bear mini contest. The yellow pig bear logo appeared three times in last week’s episode. First up, Yan Butter Friends. You walk in thinking it’s going to be a charming little animal show, and it is. Except you’re not allowed to film it. I managed to capture the intro, then boom, staff tells me to put the camera away. What are they hiding? A secret shisa Illuminati. Even in America, they let you film Crush the Turtle at Disneyland. Here in Japan, a talking bird or a talking shisa is apparently classified information. [Music] Then we’ve got treasure fight. Imagine a high energy kids laser tag style event needs treasure hunting. Did I play it? No. Did it look fun? Hell yeah. Fortunately, I think this was meant for kids and so I decided to give it a pass. Splash fist. I kept missing this one. Every time I was in another zone who music, screaming, splashes by the time I got there, just puddles and the scent of regret. [Music] Splash battle. Yes, I was ready. I even bought one of those oversized water guns, thinking I’d join the chaos. When I got there, only the kids were playing. No adults, not even the fun ones. So, in a moment of pure oan energy, I gave my gun to a random kid and stood by like an underpaid light guard. [Music] And finally, fireworks. Yes, they have them, and yes, they’re pretty. But like everything else here, you’ve got to time it perfectly or miss it entirely. [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] That’s all I’ve got for you guys here today on Bonsai Japan. If you’ve enjoyed today’s episode of Bonsai Japan, don’t forget to like, share, comment, and subscribe. I look forward to seeing you in the next episode. Just a quick reminder, the next episode of Bonsai Japan will be a live episode. On the 2nd of October, next Thursday at 7:00 p.m. Japan time, I’ll be doing a Bonsai Japan live episode. Now, during the episode, we’ll be doing a live Gacha Ga contest. As you can see, I’ve got my Gacha Pod machine right here. It’s just coming. There are three prizes up for grabs. In third place, we’ve got 10,000 yen worth of Sanre merchandise. The second prize would be a box of Japanese Pokemon booster packs, the Rocket Gang series. And for the grand prize, I’ll be giving away a pair of tickets to Junglia with premium passes to two rides/experiences. If you wish to win one of these three prizes, all you’ve got to do is to participate by tuning in to the live episode next Thursday at 7:00 p.m. Japan time. I look forward to seeing you during the next Bonsai Japan Live. Heat. [Music] Heat.
