    Sunshine City looks like a nice place to hangout during weekdays, less crowds as compared to Shunjuku or Shibuya. Haha. Platform 9 3/4 > maybe you should take candid shot, with it Rion. Are you planning to visit the Harry Porter Theme Cafe or watching the Harry Porter Musical play at TBS? I heard harry porter studio is coming to Tokyo? You can do a Vlog on it?
    Probably you can reserve that expensive dinner for your 150K subscribers milestone celebration?
    I guess you can do some live streams at your convenient timing. Short livestream from your home is fine too and you can show us some new food items in those videos? I like the Vlogs but you can probably explore more hidden spots in Tokyo for the vlogs and places with stable internet connection for Street Live Stream?

    Ikebukuro is also vibrant but less packed than Shibuya, so perhaps more enjoable for walking both by day or by night. There are so many observatories in Tokyo so that the visitors have a great choice where to go. This one has a nice parklike chilling space to enjoy maybe a craft beer as you did. I am glad you have found the pleasing place to eat an affordable but yummy meal. The dessert especially caught my attention. As for Harry Potter I am not that much in it but it is interesting to see how the movie scenery has been recreated down there. It is OK for your livestreams to follow various time zones I only hope to be notified a certain time ahead which is never the case with the time of your video releases. Looking forward for your No. 400 👏👏👏!!! Take care and stay safe, healthy and happy.

    @6:22 I am so glad that someone agrees with me about Ikebukuro's changes
    People were super rude and argumentative and didn't believe me when I said that Ikebukuro is becoming a second Akihabara since a lot of stores are closing in Aki and moving to Ike
    Then again they were all foreigners so I guess they don't know about all the changes, especially after the pandemic
    Great video as always! :D

    Visited Ikebukuro just last month (Apr 2023)! Went to Kawagoe (you did a vid of that too, right) in the morning and hung out at Ikebukuro in the afternoon. Was at some of the spots you were walking around, but didn't go up the observatory. It was a weekday then too but it was quite busy with lots of ppl in the streets.
    Went to Sunshine City Mall's Gatchapon mall! Crazy awesome with walls and pillars of Gatchapon machines! It was wild! And of course the Pokemon Center. Actually, I think I prefer checking things out at Ikebukuro than Akihabara coz less ppl and we found an awesome store that had lots of Gunpla!
    And yes, agree with you - if you want to eat at fancy restaurant, do that for lunch - it's half the price!
    Different times for livestreams? Sure, just make sure you send notifications out early. In fact doing different timezone livestreams you can show Japan at different times eg. Morning, Afternoon and Night times and the different things ppl can do during those times! マレーシアから

    0:26 The gashapon machine has a variety of characters that are popular in comics, video games, and animations, etc. , finding what you want may not be able to turn it into a favorite, it still depends on luck🍀😅! 2:18 Wow 😮! to turn Seibu Ikebukuro Station into a wizarding World of Harry Potter, Harry Potter’s pets are snowy owl and Ikebukuro (fukurou), Japan is perfect 🤨👍👏! look at the brown brick facades, full of magical charm, you can walk in the world of Harry Potter movies without flying to the UK in the future 😁👍👏! Ikebukuro Sunshine Street is a charming spot that is definitely not enough to let’s keep walking in one day, 13:39 Sunshine 60 New Observatory it’s a bit scary to go straight here 😟😅, the glass is very bright😄, 13:51 It’s nice to sit and rest here, 17:26 Ikebukuro Sunset timelapse is so beautiful 🌆🏙️🌃 and music melody😍🫠🎧🎼🎵🎶! 20:03 1,730JPY set meal this bowl of wasabi roast beef looks delicious😋, 😯 Rion was choked by wasabi, apple waffle dessert and coffee ☕️it’s great😋, this meal is also full enough😉👍, the price difference between lunch and dinner is too much 😅 but expensive doesn’t necessarily taste good, cheap doesn’t necessarily mean bad😄. 25:27 I’ll definitely take pictures with them🙋🏻‍♀️🦉📸😁 ! 25:58 ~G🦁Ö~🤝! 26:48 👌😉 enough 👏. 28:10 😄!

(Hope you can try that format.) And, shorter, but, more videos during the week is a great idea!

Even if I was there as a tourist, I wouldn't spend that much for dinner 😂💸 The apple waffle looked so good. If there was vanilla ice-cream on it, that would be perfect. Looking forward to the changes so everyone can have a chance to enjoy your content/ see the livesteams! PS, if you ever visit NYC, there is a huge Harry Potter store, and it looks pretty amazing. Hope I go there soon.

    The Harry Potter train station collab was cute! I guess it was a bit much of me to be expecting Universal Studios level train station, but it was still nice. I like the "stain glass" picture of the train.
    Detective Conan was one of my favorites as a kid too! But here in the US is was considered an adult cartoon/anime, so it came on late at night. I had to stay up late to watch it. That view from the tower is beautiful! It would be so nice to see by the bonfire with a drink and see that view at night ^.^ (adds to my to-do list for my trip). The timelapse turned out great btw!
    I think the live stream thing would be interesting to try out! I don't want to be selfish about it and think out should definitely do what's best for you. But I agree with the different time zone thing too. I would love to join more, but it often starts at 11pm my time so I often only catch the beginning or can't at all depending on how early I need to be up the next day. But like I said, definitely do what you think is best for you and the channel. :) We will support you.

    That's a pretty smart idea. Sadly, I think the theme-park-ization wouldn't fly in western countries. There's this idea that transit has to be serious. I love that Japan takes cuteness and theming as worth doing. The only thing that America does in reference to themes are cafés and sports stadiums... but imagine if Nintendo sponsored a transit station... contributing money for theming rights.
    I think the Harry potter themed station is tastefully done, and yet still functional.
