@johnburnap

Thanks. I've been in the sanrio store once, and it didn't look much like that. Must've been awhile ago?

Thanks.

[UnhappyRc]

isint there a gothic lolita store around little tokyo?

[BAHO30]

Nice video that was a like mini mall the center is it open 7 day a week

[Zenetsuto]

Were they Kimonos that you showed in the video if so how much were they? Also how do you suppose it is in the summer? I'd figure it'd be packed or at least more people then there were in the video?

[PirateSmoothie]

I love the Japaneese liestyle. But until i learn Japaneese and move to japan. This will just have to do...xD

Love the Hello kitty store,

[welwisher]

I agree with you there. I want to at least visit Japan eventually, but I'm just a broke teenage girl trying to write a novel and living with my pop in Cali.

I hope to visit Little Tokyo once I've got a good allowance to spend. How much do you think I should take?

[johnburnap]

50 bucks for everything.. lunch and a few things... i am not sure how much the kimonos are.

[welwisher]

Thank you!

[MrsTokyo]

OMG, this is Heaven for me!!!!!

[speed6mazda]

it looks deserted ...is there ever people walking out and about?

[johnburnap]

i am sure it gets pretty busy... although i have been there 3 times and its really quiet. thanks for watching!

[StrawberryMochix3]

I went there on a Saturday and it was pretty dead in the mall x_x The restaurants had most of the people though.

[shadowxenous]

at During the weeked the place is active

[veggievegetarian]

Im going to Little Tokyo this summer...thats the closest I can get to Japan for the moment. There are 2 thing that I'm delirious to find: melon bread (meropan) and a choco cornet. . . I'd like some pocky too! And charms. . . So many things! I just wish my money is enough. Are things expensive??

[johnburnap]

nice to meet you leno! things were not that expensive... like the market goods and stuff. the sushi was expensive... but soo so good! thanks for watching! have fun!

[welwisher]

Um... do they sell White Rabbit sweets anywhere in Little Tokyo? It's probably a really stupid question to ask since the sweet itself is actually chinese... but still...?

Oh yeah, and can you buy the kimonos/yukatas?

[johnburnap]

i like to get the white rabbit candies!! i think i would go to chinatown for those. cant remember. they have lots of kimonos ... they have nearly everything you can think of!

[welwisher]

WICKED!!! I'm like- a total Japan freak now. Lol, I guess that's what happens when I watch too many animes. I even picked up a few words. I can now say: 'Thank you dad!' in japanese. *eyeroll* Lol!

Thank you! Is there a Chinatown nearby?

[atlasperros]

all the years living in LA and i have never been there.....passed by but never walked through

[nikylp]

wat is that song, i luv it!?

[herz501]

[Elleh2]

Mmmm, that sushi looks so freakin good. It's making me hungry right now, I'm practically drooling all over my keyboard.

[bunsakuda]

little tokyo is not japan at all.

it looks like china.....

[DFILMS08]

owned do you even live in LA?

[johnburnap]

hey daniel! well, i live about 20 miles from downtown LA. they dont have hello kitty in china... i mean, it originates in japan. i will agree, little tokyo is nothing like japan! not that i know what thats like either, but i am sure it is different. thanks for stopping by!

[johnburnap]

it sure doesnt look like japan thats for sure! at least that what my friends in japan have told me.

thank you for watching anyway!

[myargonauts]

is the music from the soundtrack to the film "The Hunted"?

[johnburnap]

no. but it does sound very similar. they are actually ancient japanese folk songs, and some taiko drums. thanks for watching!!

[KRONC27]

Great video, that music was sweet and that sushi looked awesome! You captured it man! I feel like I just went site seeing! Keep it up! Take me back to Cali John, Cali... Cali...
