    The random meetup with Hori and the ladies was very wholesome ♥

    Man that whole interaction with the delivery guy and the dog was so lovely.

    As someone who goes to Japan frequently and always stops in every HardOff I'm near, the most frustrating or stressful thing is deciding when and where to pull the trigger on buying something. There's always the "well I might find a better price or better quality at the next one!" and then you often DON'T find a better one, but you're too far now to go back or you forget which store had the thing you were debating on so it's gone forever. lol

    冒頭のスーパーカブと柴犬と近所の人たちの会話に「これぞ日本」が凝縮しててなんかよかった。

    A peaceful change from the manic Tokyo streets. Really enjoying this series🥰

    Wish I had a friend like Alex to show me around Japan! Seems like a great person. Absolutely loved the video

    <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vCXv7t2Vrs&amp;t=260">4:20</a> This is the most Japanese part of the entire video. I loved how the atmosphere among the neighbors unfolded (though, from a human perspective, the scenery, locations, and the hunting challenge are the highlights).

    There are local collectors in Japan, too, and while Hard Off is frequented by otaku almost every day—though that doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll find good items there—there’s still a big price difference between Tokyo and the countryside. That said, interacting with the locals was really heartwarming.
