Thrifting in Japan sounds like a whole new series
@Figureight
Japan just has the best thrift stores. Honestly it's impossible to walk past one and not go in and see what treasures you may find.
@lissi4052
So far all these stores are SO CLEAN. I wish stores in US were like this.

21:56 This moment makes me so happy. The joy in her laugh at the item costing under $1.
@kayleighwilliams6676
I don’t know how you managed to walk into so many amazing thrift shops and only walk away with two things! I’d be in the anime aisles with my hands full
@nikon0828
As someone born in Japan, I think Japanese thrift shops valuate and maintain their merchandise thoroughly and accurately, so they’re not exactly cheap. Very hard to find jackpots. Also, clothes are Japanese sizes, meaning most are US S size or smaller. That’s why I don’t even consider checking out clothes there. Still, you’ve motivated me to go to our local 2nd Street shop for other goods! Btw, Forming Pie Set is misspelt Foaming Pie Set. Spray foam on an alum pie dish for throwing into the faces of buddies. lol

If we had second hand stores like that I don’t think I’d ever buy new again 😅 …or very rarely. Definitely would have gotten the guitar petal at the smaller shop , useful and in my favorite color. Thanks for taking us along!

As someone living here in Japan, I love the thrift stores, and the best items are the limited-edition collectibles. For normal things, the prices are not much cheaper than buying new ones.
@kittykat3268
I still can't get over how nice those shops are! I'd totally be on a quest for vintage Godzilla toys and video game stuff!
@jwizdum2103
As a vintage clothing lover, I've always wanted to go to Japan to look for gems, I feel like they're everywhere
@Elmanister
Norm, thank you for reminding me that thriftshops like second street may have campinggear. This really helps out with potential hiking trips and not having to bring things like a tent onto a plane.

I work as a manager in a thrift store. Medium size. The stores are incredibly well presented. I am not familiar with Japan at all but I'm guessing they must rely a lot on surplus stock from retailers because the quality and diversity of stock is nothing like what you get from donations from the public
@nicoleyuen2645
Wow! Thrift shops here look so clean and the set ups are so much clearer with super thoughtful displays! Love this!
@rizriz9214
This is heaven, i could stay there for days just walk and look over
@Enoxix.
I love thrift store hunting! Always fun when you find something very cool! Also very funny, I’ve been watching a lot of Japanese video’s again and there hasn’t been even one where I haven’t heard the cicades 😅!
@xlukas93
It is incredible how clean and well packed everything is. I wish that was the norm all over the world

Astro boy: oh boy.. are you in for surprise ! That thing is the coolest Astro boy figure I have ever owned. First off, the two buttons on the head, when you connect those two rubber points with your finger, it creates a current and his entire front body glows in red. That is, if the battery still works. Secondly, with your fingernails you can peal off the chest shell from the ridge that starts from the shoulders down to the arms. You take it off and snap it back on again.. This is like the one secret I accidently found out years after I had him and made me fall in love with him even more, screaming with joy.. When you peal that part off, the most wonderful thing gets revealed, Astro's heart in see through, half human half robot. When you have the current connected, and the light is glowing, you'll find out where the light source is.. yup.. you guessed.. his heart 💖

I audibly gasped at the big Seel plush in the last shop. It's one of my favorite unpopular Pokemon and it made me so happy to see that exists! The only other plush I've seen are very small little beanie toys. Seel obsession aside, it never ceases to amaze me how organized these stores are, and how well taken care of the items are. Wish that was the world standard.
@JoeSchmmoAnimeNews
This makes me so happy to see content like this! I would go nuts in store likes these in Japan! Sadly though the Thrift Stores here are super trash in comparison
