[2012] World's Largest Anime District : Akihabara, Tokyo [iPhone 4S/HD]

  • Akihabara, also called as Akiba, was an electric town when I was a kid. I remember that in those days my grandma called the town not Akihabara, but Akibahara. I didn't know the town was once called by a different name and I was like: 'Hey, grandma! Not Akibahara but Akihabara!'. Come to think of it, 秋葉原 (Akihabara in Kanji) can be pronounced in both ways, Akihabara and Akibahara. But I've digressed.
    People used to visit there to get electronic parts, audio components, or home appliances at that time. It is still the largest electric town in Japan, but it is now more well-known as an "otaku town" and one of the most popular tourist attractions in Tokyo. You can find everything about anime, manga, games and other "otaku" things there. Even if you are not interested in them, it could be still fun to feel the Akiba atmosphere and get electronic equipment at a reasonable price.

      Japan is not anything like anime and it isn't a utopia either the problem is feeling alienation and culture shock there if you can handle that kind of stuff you'll have a great time here but expect to be lonely in your first months or year it can take a while to meet people just my two cents of advice have a nice day.

    Some people are talking about the black guy and the Asian guy (probably Japanese) at 4:38. I think I should describe something. The clip was taken at the camera department in a large electronics store where you can try new model cameras. It seemed like they were friends. I was pretty sure, when I saw them, the Asian guy was trying one and pretending to shoot his friend in fun. It surprised me that some people considered it as rude or discrimination just because someone was pointing a camera at a black guy. I should be considered as very rude and as a racist. There are some black girls and guys in my videos :P

      So I suppose some people might see me as a racist when I hang out with my closest friend......because I definitely take photos of him like the Asian guy at 4:38, geez...... It's a bit demoralizing to know that there are people out there that jump to such a one sided conclusion from the single short scene without any context. People of different skin colors can't be seen as friends? That would be sad:(

    • @willbessent
      @willbessent 10 лет назад +22

      I hear ya. But I'm black and I thought that part of the video was really funny. "Oh wow, a black person!" click click click click click click. And you're probably right about them being friends, that's what I was thinking since the guy being photographed didn't seem upset at all.

    People have to remember that Japan is not exposed to many outsiders. It doesn't matter if you're black, white, purple or whatever else. You're still looked at the same.
    So in a sense your no more discriminated against then anyone else who's a foreigner. Still though you get treated better than you do back home.
    Better than getting shot out everywhere you turn around lol. Japan is actually a pretty amazing place to be. Just don't let the small stuff get to you, just saying :)

    0:23 KoreZon. You can definitely see it was 2011/2012 when this was recorded.
    That series didn't last very long....
    I don't even know why. They tried to hype it up a lot and I liked it.
    (For example they included the costume in Lollipop Chainsaw which I found very cool (You can even tell by the ad)).
