"Bery nice." -Borat
Imagine Borat going to the butler cafe. Lol. Cheers, ya'll.
Great video. Honestly, I would feel so uncomfortable in a butler cafe. Having someone serving you to that degree would make me feel so bad for the butler.😊
i'm quite surprised on how cheap the hello kitty cafe is. i thought it was suppose to be like 15 – 20 USD for a burger, to say the least
You have horse practice from now on?😅 that’s the translation from the captions anyway..lol
city of uwu
You put cream on your scone first then jam. Proof that Japan is such a civilised country
Kind of have a mountain of Pikachu's😁😅
I would love to visit a Butler Cafe; the atmosphere looks truly imnersive. Maid cafes are a bit too… extravagent for my preferences. Iori's roleplaying is of a high caliber. I can scarcely imagine all the experiens he, and his peers, have gone through to attain such mastery of their craft.
You are the epitome of a Princess🧝🏽♀️ Your smile and sense of awe in the cafe made the video that much more enjoyable!! Keep up the great work; love to see your enthusiasm….🌹
would love to explore there, my favorite Pokemon is Psyduck so I would be looking for one for my car, lol and some Initial D stuff, speaking of which, would love to see you guys cover some car shows, they should have some food, especially at Tokyo Auto Salon, anyways surprised at how tasty those morsels were at the Butler cafe, and Shizuka and Eli lookin' cute in that outro, keep up the great work
Don't be fooled by these theatrics.
If these man-slaves only deviate slightly from the script, they will be tortured mercilessly.
They are hostages.
And this woman is a sick monster.
Who was able to focus on the video?
I was pretty distracted by a certain someone…
Definitely the butler cafe is quite cute. Even though I’ve never been there, it’s close to the style of it.
WATCHING SHIZUKA WHILE EATING IS SO ADDICTIVE 😁💖
❤️❤️❤️🙏
shizuka is freakin gorgez man I think i have a man crush
well i might have to pay a visit to ikebukuro when i'm there in sept
Aaahh I’ve always wanted to visit this butler cafe ever since I saw this location featured in a Japanese romcom movie. But the reservation process looks too complicated for my small brain 🥲
Been traveling to Japan for 20yrs and I've yet to go to ikebukuro 😡
Shizuka san, an otaku girl. I'm so ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ it. Looking so sublime Shizuka san
I also want to become a princess!He is so gentleman 😂
I probably would go for a Butler Cafe even if i am a man, because i found the Maid ones a little too… well, cheesy and otaku oriented. Meanwhile the Butlers they looks and behave like gentlemen, and i would love to be among real gentlemen. At least just once.
But im thankful that the Maid cafe exist because once a great artist worked here and had the bizzare idea to make a rockband dressed like maids.
Viva Miku, Viva BAND-MAID !! Greatest rock band in the world.
I love this channel. Can you guys do a video focusing on Unagi? It’s one of my favorite things to eat. Also, Shizzy is the best host. She’s great at explaining everything while making it accessible and fun.
every time iori speak i shake like a leaf <3 i want to go there, maybe i scare the buttler because im gonna start go red all the time….. im gonna die happy in that place jsjsjsjs love the video thanks for taking the time
Guy asking for carry a bag then he run away.
Shizukaaaa❤
The Ikebus looked so adorable! I just wanna tour around the are in that. I don't think I have the shoes for the Swallowtail Butler Cafe, though. 🙃
I loved this video. Never knew Ikebukuro was an anime area. I would've loved to check this place out during my visit. One of the many reasons why I look forward to your videos. Thank you Shizuka for sharing this.
Nuuuuuuuuummm😢😂😂😂chose chocolate 😂😂😂😂its good 😂😂😂 kinding strawberry is good to i just dont eat that much as chocolate 🙂
we have alot of those anime doll shops here in LA. Lots of them in Torrance and Gardena. Where the majority japanese live. But it's always the korean version cuz more koreans…
