[McClogs]

whats up with all the fish mongers wearing trucker caps?

[verassio]

omg one of the best videos of yours, only now watched it, some time ago I couldn't because of the prohibits of viewing it in my country. Somehow if you noticed this and changed it, thank you, if you didn't...well, still thanks for this one =)

[scottychik17]

wow kenji is getting really big! what are you feeding that fish kevin! and here you said goldfish that come from little town festivals dont live long! its almost time for another fish tank upgrade ^_^

[bostswainsmate]

[bassanglr]

[rioishikawa]

"Slice and dice sir'' 2:50

[southpaw1447]

2:50 lol

[Akakiba15]

omg kenji has gotten so HUGE

[Wutevaperson]

oh wow, this reminds me of the trips my family and I used to take to hong kong. I'd go with my family's nanny person to the local fish market. I remember being around 4th grade in one trip and I was lagging behind. Then all of a sudden, one of the live fish literally leaped out at me and hit me in the foot. . _. The nanny came back to find me and tossed it back into the bucket thing it came from, haha.

[chriszeng8]

04:33 this man with his hand in his pant!!!

LMAO!!!!

[Scarfs123]

I love the "Prison Break! Prison Break! Over the Wall!" xD

"Yeah, Thats right Scoffield back in the can" love it xD

[Arkylahk]

how are the fish alive? unless they're taken to the markets in tubs of water or something

[sugarhonayicedtea20]

daaaamn is that kenji!? he's gotten big

[nyrocks09]

I love fish but mine needs to be cooked never raw

[pgwchaos]

"Oh the humanity", Shouldn't it be "Oh the Fishanity"?

We went to the Tsukiji Market, it was a pretty interesting place. The Tuna was huge. Those carts were also cool (and could move pretty fast)

[thepwnagedude2222222]

lol. uh oh uh oh prison break!

[greencath16]

damn! i love this episode! especially the guy with his hand on his pants and the ending :))

[thisisthebestpart]

i think this is the best episode i have seen so far. Good job! i cant beleive they let u drive one of thoes carts

[aztecmija]

this was really good. i like all your stuff but this was really good. haha how weird would it be to eat cat in front of our cats.

... you didn't read that.

[vin22kevin]

this is prolly ur best vid so far. although all of them r so gr8. except for the 2 vids that CANT be viewed.

xD

[ToastBusta]

Cool video man. I missed this when I was in Tokyo in 2004.

[Aegistance]

hahahaah, ooops..

[dafranx]

excellent video dude, go to my channel, click "Playlists" to go to all volumes of my sushi library. the sushi library is awesome, tokyocooney.

[riohira]

nice vid!!

[YUKIpandaa]

wait- that fish you were eating would have eaten kenji, so you were actually doing him a favor, right? (^-^)b

[scottrekishika]

definately a good idea to eat sushi in the other room.... kenji might go fighting fish and whoop ya lol.... but then you can always take him to the fishing pond >:)

[zeto34]

the fish rescue at the end was great. also i like the blues music you put in your videos.

[FelixTheHouseFreak]

I was wondering about the carts.

Cooney is awesome! XD

[PirateNinja55]

TUNA FISH HELL!

[HB2GraphitePencil]

rofl @ the man with his hand in his pants

[kripazznigga211]

thats what i said! i had to stop the video so i didn't miss anything due to me laughing so hard, lol.

[ninahyena]

yeah i know it was so funny!

[btbamfan20]

i love this guys vids.. HANDS DOWN MOST ENTERTAINING AAAANNNDDDD INSIGHTFUL! XD lol

[Nar2211]

haha "PRISON BREAK, PRISON BREAK HE'S OVER THE WALL!"

[Danvie11]

"OMG PRISION BREAK PRISION BREAK!!" LOL Cooney your a funny man!!!

[innpressTV]

and many americans think that USA is the World standard !!!

so can't other culture and language

[innpressTV]

i will go to texas with gun and long hat and boots riding horse, then I scream "i'm cowboy !! i'm cowboy!! what do you think about??

you always say "samurai ! samurai" !

[innpressTV]

If you want to report Japan and life of Tokyo, you learn more Japanese and suggest to report it in Japanese. I feel it so that there is no communication with Japanese on your video at all. You should learn Japanese if you live in Japan. Otherwise the Japanese will not hold a heart to you.

and octpas and squid are normal fishes stuff world people eat them.

you reported them like a special fises stuff. Japanese don't eat TURKEY

It same thing

[innpressTV]

as a important point of view

his report are so wrong and biased

Tuskiji (fish sushi), Fujiyama, geisya, samurai, its a stupid viewer!!!

Japanese seldom say SAMURAI

It's BUDOH 武道

learn more Japnaese culture and language

Japanese don't eat turkey

Thanks fukin American Gerberman009

If you live in Japan, speak and use more Japanese !!!

What do you think about that i speak by all Japanese live in NY ?

[FelixTheHouseFreak]

He does know Japanese and the only reason that he speaks english in these videos is so that other people understand!

[catarina300]

american viewers and not also... ;) but yes his vids are awsome =D

**

[platano214]

hahaha. 01:30 .japanese equivalent of al bundy

[jas03000]

Fishcart looks like R2D2 with a steering wheel strapped to it. HAHA

[jas03000]

How much is sushi in japan? Where I live it ranges from 7 to 12 dollars a roll at my favorite sushi bar. The rolls are rather large though.

[jas03000]

Autioneers sound the same in every country.

[allofthenamesrtaken]

That prison break reference works on so many levels.

[amoralis123]

Very disappointing 10 minutes, lot of noise, bad music and stupid talk. Would have been better to show the working aspect of the market and working on seafood.

[innpressTV]

he always stay at small community with person who can only spealk english in Tokyo.

[dableutyef]

A Japanese person in America would also actively seek out and spend time with other Japanese people living there.

[sc0ttGu]

hes keeping in a comfort zone, whats wrong with that?

[loveneco12332]

hahahaha we went there its really big and smells funny (maybe cause it full of fish) haha

[TheHeadHunter824]

at 01:25 see the piece of fish on the left where it says 9300 YEN go convert that to a nice $93 US ... for one piece of fish ... Tokyo Gaijin If I showed you a vid of Sydney (Australia) fish market it would be of me eating those lobsters not just videotaping it LOL... Truth of the fact is that most Japanese people unless above mid class cant afford to eat something like the stuff he is video taping more than once a month (if they are daring to spend VS the recession) : )...

[TheHeadHunter824]

Yes go show the whale on sale too shithead !!!!

[Relatharr]

Fish cart: The Hummer of Segways.

[NicholasAABBoy]

very realistic ...thanks for your amazing video !!!1

[FatesWishes]

"oh the humanity!!" LOL

Those carts are awesome!!!!!

[porlon2]

Yey ! SeaFood Galore!!!!!!!!!!!

[BenderBurgers]

Blue tunas are worth a lot of money,i dont know the exact amount but im sure its in the tens of thousands possibly hundreds of thousands of dollars for one fish.

[Cardboardboxy]

LOL at the end, that happend to me once. Found a frog up a hill, decided to take him down the hill to the lake, tossed him in SNAP eaten by a fish.

[unall34]

who's is the Otaku with black and white there costume and why your making fun of him !!!!1

[Schaapje]

On 3:00 that's just sad... The fish is still alive and he just starts slicing it up...

[kira20006]

RUN fish RUN, ops sorry-

[RhiannaMidori]

Shame that fish dont run xD

[yevonator88]

A crap driver....no no no, a CARP driver!

[mjaauu]

HAHAHAHAH man with hand in  his pants...?.hahahahahahah! what tha

[Emizette]

Eww fish

Lol ur vids are really well made Kudos :D

[CrimeAvenger2]

Tourist's entry is restricted in the wholesale market.

The person who is not the trader must go to the off-board market.

[missvinca]

haha "PRISON BREAK PRISON BREAK"

[KitsuneJey]

I don't know why, but that market reminds me about the Tripods' cages of humans in Spielberg's War of the Worlds :-P.

[amsd1231]

and this unknown fish borne epidemic will wipe out humanity from the face of the earth.

[writercore]

Keep up the good work! But please use black or something when you write your subtitles. It's hard to read white-on-white ありがと

[StarfuckerXfenix]

I've been there too, geez what a smell and that on a early morning. A great last day in Tokyo<3

[Jackthemeat]

You are an Otaku NERD!!!!!

Fuck you Weaboo!

you white wannabees are SAD indeed.

[KururuGeass]

wholesalers such as this man with hs hand in his pants....roflmao

[Tarteviant]

I love seafood. Its my favorite... mostly. so what I grew up in miami...>_>

[kirkwood1991]

here comes nerd again.....

[cytroop]

sea food looks... well, "less" delicous to put it mildly.

[OhMymy]

all japanese people must have all reincarnated as fish after they die.

[Highlaw]

Cooney: Run fish, RUN!

Fish: Thanks Cooney!!

*throws*

Birds: Mine mine! mine mine mine!! mine!

[DSmusica]

LOL the last part makes me laugh xD

[tomives1985]

cooney , you've outdone yourself with this video ! That was a throughly enjoyable ten minutes

[LumberJack]

Cart part was the best.

[animekoi]

fishes r our food

[RuhlaxBrah]

3:51-3:59 Lol

[rehabboy01]

youre entire "tour" of japan vids are too primitive and lame.

thats how it is in Japan or that part of the "world".

[coughsnif]

if u dont like it or u think is lame just leave it unless its talking about u which idont think they were or are ... seriously just be happy and thats it

[Eurosubstance]

They're informitive and funny, whats there not to like? Even if its a bit corny thats what makes it funny lol.

[serenadeprince]

i love fish but i don't like seeing them before i eat their made into products

[epicwater]

Yummmm!

[RageingMuffin]

uuuaaah Kenji got huge! I skipped a few....episodes(?) of the blog hehe. Last i saw he was still teeny~

And i think i may have eaten his uncle...sorry kenji...

[Reelbigearth]

aw, I'm sure it's Kenji's saki addicted uncle. I'm sure he won't mind

[SakunCosplayer]

fish cant run but they can swim XD poor fishy gotten eatten by a seagull? omg

[momox4isfunny]

Thanks to the guys I can taste delicious sushi in Japan. Thanks to those men and thanks for posting!

[momox4isfunny]

Too bad they have decided recently that visitors may not visit the market any longer until the busy season (shiwasu) is over. I have heard the reason but it may be controversial for you.

[lenorecreazil]

you are an adorable man

[hungrymunster]

lol at the prison break and the end there, and im definitely not gonna be buying seafood from that man with his hands in his pants.

[BananaPancake]

The tuna flying out of the truck, landing onto the giant tires is like an image taken from my memory exactly...

[6663000]

And then a man with a giant axe hacks their tail, mercilessly.

You seem to be enjoying yourself driving that cart. haha

I love your videos man

[endsequence]

Hahahaha, WOW that man with his hand in hits pants -- nice.

[Areweonfiya]

LOL "this point wholesellers like this man with his hand in his pants come along and decide..." AHAHAHAHA

[MackTeaVee]

This reminded me of an awesome animated short film i saw recently called "A Song Of Horse Mackerel (YAKIZAKANA-NO-UTA)" It's a strange, funny and sad film about a fish being purchased at a grocery store. I couldn't find it online though, since it's probably still in the film festival circuit.

[cz8797]

They let you drive one! haha Awesome, you're lucky!

[STARSxRxFaLLiNG]

mmm..hungryy.

lmao

a man with his hand in his pants..WOW. o.o

[6Metal6Melter6]

That tuna auction is funny

[Megametalwolf]

this is making me hungry

[kenbo1992]

haha^^

[TDouglas1988]

Great videos! Love your choice of music too (saw the Black Keys live a couple of weeks ago). Please keep making videos, I can't go very long without my tokyocooney fix!

[lonewolfgirl]

That one fish reminded me of Kenji...

Except he was dead...

[Ishidasouken]

that kinda reminds me of enma's hell... only with fish

[lonewolfgirl]

lol so true!

[RantNRavinFection]

The smell must've intense!

[kichan]

:O thats on my list of musts if I ever get to go there. I saw a documentary on it once. I want to watch auctions.

[Qrlm]

the end was ...wow :))) poor fish. your videos are great.

[marshalljoyner]

lol you mean like 100 usdollar melons...? those fruit products...give me a break jesus christ fuck that dude..i need to move there i could so make that place different and i hope its in your dream too...have fun i know you can

[marshalljoyner]

now i know that american carpenters are like japanese fisherman because those seem to be the cultural staples that are for sale...but just think how cool it would be if you learned to build in japan cooney...just think it would be awesome dude laters show some residential builders and i'll hire you to be my money manager because i know an american house there would go for a fortune and you wouldnt have to do shit bro...just think

[lonewolfgirl]

just stop please just shut up!!

[marshalljoyner]

the bit about the fish being surprised was hilarious also i think your music list is out of order on this one later

[ClairePeine]

dude. riding that cart was teh shiz. youre damn lucky. 8DDD

[santascow]

props for the prison break reference

[cowbell311]

1:46 human fish

[onmyojiX]

That was a fabulous view of Tsukiji. I've been there twice (last time was after our night out drinking in the Spring, and I tell you, that 3150 Yen breakfast sushi meal was the best thing ever after a night of drinking).

Any way... your video is a great intro for those interested in the industry. You pared it down quite well.

You fed the water fowl -- bad, Kevin, didn't you read those signs about not feeding the local "wild life"? :-)

[MDog89]

HAHAAH The man with his hands in his pants. FUNNY!

[Musichowler]

Ok, Kenji is getting fat. Was he offended when you put this one together? Great and informative vid as usual. Thanks!

[forbiddenhill]

"like this man with his hand in is pants" lmao

[zemen51]

ithink he has a tuna radar in his pants lol

[forbiddenhill]

[guitarcrazy2301]

[SumAznKid215]

Thats right back in the can Schofield! xD Rofl

[rockogem]

[marsmahboi]

[GlennsGuides]

Great video I love seeing the sights of Tokyo and you do it well. The ending was absolutely hilarious too.
