[nakamine1713]

That milk tea is worth returning to Japan for on it's own...

[XxXPandaRawrzXxX]

[cocoacrisp505]

[auntbecky]

Why would you want creamed corn at all let alone from a vending machine?

[101mahina]

I REALLY wanna go to Japan XD

[AustinStowell]

@latinflavor081 Right now? About $1.30

[ebazz8305]

I love the Osaka accent...If I live in Japan..it will be in Osaka no doubt.

[ebazz8305]

@latinflavor081 like a buck fifty cents or two bucks...

[mikesoccer11]

Hey sladewalters what do you do/work for in Japan? Other than teaching, i wanted to do business there.

[sladewalters]

@mikesoccer11 - actually, I lived in Japan for two years, but I left about two years ago. When I lived there I worked for the U.S. Government, so I had a special visa.

[misper34]

I just got back from Osaka a couple of weeks ago. That place is awesome and I am going back this year. (also, that is where my girlfriend is from). But dude, you forgot to mention that they also have vending machines with beer and sake. It's true people. Beer 180 yen and a large bottle of osake is 840 yen. It wasn't very top quality alcohol, but I indulged anyway. Just because. Nice video, man.

[AnimeLoverLovesKyo]

Does gajin mean outsider?

Im learning japanese and forgein country is something like that but a bit longer :)

Awesome vendy xDD

Ive always wanted to go to Osaka! I wanna go to Kyoto as well though >^o^<

[AnimeLoverLovesKyo]

Awesome vendy xDD

Ive always wanted to go to Osaka! I wanna go to Kyoto as well though >^o^<

[nakamine1713]

That milk tea is awesome cold as well, but why would you drink it hot during the summer in Okinawa when I lived there ;)

[aztc1979]

[aztc1979]

watching this video brings back memories of osaka, been there 3 times...will go back hopefully soon, cool video

[kurosakishere]

$1.30 for hot chocolate? Sweet!

[721157]

50gold for 1 water WTF!

[thadea]

@721157 150g :3

[cod5fan12]

why didnt you buy anything?! why!

[rustyxcarbine]

あったかい　＝ｗarm.  熱い　＝hot

[UhOhParkingViolation]

I went to Narita area and got one of those cofee things. best $1.00 ever (or 1.10 in the vid).

[Lumixster]

cant u get a vending machine to give u ride to train station? Bloody hell...cant belive japs havent come up with that yet lol

[rammgrrl]

Ahhh, milk tea! I visited Japan for a month and a half and got addicted to the stuff. I wish pre-made milk teas were sold in US stores. I also miss ice cream crepes from Baskin-Robbins.

[rachparov]

Are all maching selling hot drink? Cause i remember trying to find a machine that sells hot coffee but failed miserably :D.

[StevenGarcia0]

VERY NICE ~ VERY CUTE ~ VERY COOL

[divinechef]

Mmm hot cream corn!

[qweqeqeqdsx22222]

haha "they are everywhere" xD that was good!

[dragonworld2008]

yuck

[hoggn06]

Yo they teared down the kuidaore thingy last year for sum reason I fergot

[98hellraiser]

Either somwhere in japan or somewhere in England is where i want to move to when i get older im leaning towards Japan becaus i can get cheap meals that are warm out of vending machines!

[yukinagoto]

I had some of that creamed corn. but royal milk tea won everything

[flapplewapple]

Lol i can only read the chinese characters on the milk tea

[SaberTanker22]

I better start learning Japanese quickly so i don't get lose wondering japan.

[Wejherowianka]

I went to Japan last year without knowing a simple Japanese word... I spent there two weeks, visiting Tokyo, Osaka, Kamakura, Kyoto, Nara... You don't have to learn Japanese. Almost all signs are in English too. I've started to learn Japanese now :)

[SaberTanker22]

I know japan does have english sign's but i want to interact with other 23 year old's in Japanese . =) plus it be the most awesome experience for me seeing somewhere new.

[Animeisfuture]

Hey i was wondering what is japan like and is it hard to learn the languge i really want to explore there one day when im older.

[FelineFantsy]

Sladewalters I have a question, I'm in college now but I was considering getting a job in Japan after I graduate. If that is remotely possible, how would I get around or even find my apartment or work with my co-workers if I can't speak/read Japanese fluently?

[sladewalters]

You're best bet for getting a job in Japan is teaching English for one of the English teaching schools that seek out native speakers and provide employment and a work visa for a year. The pay isn't great.

[daxfhr3sh3stxtr33]

lol the milk teas's logo looks like weed XD

[chechnya]

So many fat white weeaboos ruining Japanese culture.

[brookchelmo]

Osaka is one of my favorite cities.

[PrincessJAPAN4000]

@brookchelmo Youtube -

They Sold Their Souls For Rock And Roll

[Lukaito31]

Check out all this bikes... wow^^

But good video!

[ImportR34]

I miss these things. I used to live in Japan and usually bought drinks from these machines and I onetime bought "Potato Chip" Fries (Yes. They sell food in these.) from one of these machines.

[DaKillerLlamaz]

That's tight, you're bilingual. I am too: ENglish and Japanese. I was born in Japan so it's kinda cool to see you post this. So many good memories. You have really great pronounciation. Thanks for posting these videos! I enjoy!

[DaKillerLlamaz]

It's actually really good. Fantas

[Pkfire0420]

Nice video p.s I subscribed :)

[Hanssen69]

I'm sorry I'll never eat cream corn out of a can from a vending machine.

[JayJaguar]

so everything you eat in your life through the day is fresh from the cow, fresh from the chicken, fresh from land, vegetables and fruits, and fresh water from a source coming out of a mountain near waterfall, yep, you'll never eat cream corn out of a can, so, why not????

[Hanssen69]

Never liked Cream Corn, period.

[2bornottoby]

about $1

[animaybanana101]

How much is 110 yen in US dollars?

I want some milk tea now.

[changailyhater]

its the same as $1.10

[HIKARI4ROXAS]

i love ur video!! ur a good narrator!

[tokyokaeritai99]

in japan there are 5.5 million beding machines

you can enjoy tea&coffee&coke every day, every time, everyhere

[Tragicprophecy]

Dotonbori was awesome, but my fav place in Osaka is Midosuji located nearby.

[XxPARAMORExX12]

JAPAN rocks........... i went there in TOKYO

[demonklawz]

i grew up with all these vending machines since i was 4.

now that im 15 and live in canada, i just realised how cool these vending machines are :P

[WestCoastWhistler]

Great title. Nice narrator. Nice tour.. I whistled in Japan. No Joke.

[StopFuckingSwearing]

Btw that tea has flowers in it??

[G1NZOU]

Jasmine tea, mabye.

[StopFuckingSwearing]

osaka is the best!

[nicolaskidman]

thanks for this very interesting video!! i really wanna go to japan to try their vending machine

[Ynnepchan]

lol random cream corn. XD

[dingaling24]

i heard you could get panties with dookie stains in a vending machine there.

[Ynnepchan]

XD Ew sad but true. XDDD

[ruby2512]

hey amazing race 12 when there

[kukuramutta]

I love osaka the people were so fun and friendly. I want to go back

[Focu5x]

Dude thats awesome!!

I cant wait to go to Japan.

[NullnV01d]

I second Mangadood's comment, Memoirs of a Gaijin, very clever haha. Might have a flick through the rest of your vids later, only watched this one cause it came up at the end of someones else and caught my eye cause I remember being wow'ed by the venders in Osaka aswell.

[mangadood]

LMAO memoirs of a gaijin

[Unmistakable18]

was in Osaka last week and yeah, Japan is quite cool......nice video!

[kazno123]

That Seemed Sooooo Fun

[pancakes99]

I was in Tokyo and I love all these machines

I was drawn to them and was buying drinks all the time. The blinking lights hypnotize you and lure you in.

[MasonsTurtle]

You are amazing at making video.

[masterkarray]

yeah ur skill at making video is awesome man.nice work,i love japan too, keep it up.

[kes1963]

I want to go to Japan some day, especially since im a train geek

[CROFTAHK]

1:47 1:48 1;49  the real asian squint and snort aswell balla...

[Jayderade]

damn i miss those things...

[smashmaster12]

XD Coke is everywhere!

[martzuk]

I love that font at the beginning, that says "Memoirs of a Gaijin", what font is it? Thanks

[sladewalters]

The font is Trajan Pro

[narutowatcher54]

lol japanese ppl r prolly looking at u like, "Wtf is he doing, video taping an ordinary vending machine?"

[sladewalters]

I was actually with a couple Japanese friends at the time and they were laughing politely.

[shabu911]

sweet i went there before the place where u were filming the giant crab well actualy the whole neon light place i suppose

[MasterofKeyblade]

Do they have vending machines that serve hot food? Like a soba noodle machine?

They have hot food vending machines here in the u.s. but in the machine you showed up there was hot creamed corn.

[hg23467]

Yes they do. I've seen spaghetti, curry, hamburgers, any kind of noodles, fried rice machines and lots more. I've never tried any of these, though.

[KaBooom16]

How long did it take you to learn japanese?

x

[sladewalters]

FOREVER. Actually, I am not even close to fluent. I have a very limited knowledge. I can order at a restaurant, take a taxi and talk about the weather, that is about it.

[GilliganOX]

I just want to say I admire you very much for learning Japanese and working/living there!! You make me look like a "marshmallow"!

#1. Have you seen MXC, do you like it?

#2.  Can you please go to a bodybuilding contest and make a video on that(including a visit to a gym)? I like your reporting style!

[sladewalters]

Thanks for the comment. I saw MXC once in the US, it was funny. I'll think about the body building thing.

[GilliganOX]

I'm sure you hear MXC in Japanese, the words they use are pretty funny!

I am getting to know about Japanese culture and find it very interesting! Through youtube I've been able to see a few Japanese bodybuilders. I'd love to know how the general public in Japan is accepting bodybuilders. I've noticed that travel shows on TV always deal with the same topics when they focus on a country and I'm very much bored with that, which is why your vending machine story appealed to me!

[Iyasu16]

Gyun-nyu... isn't that 'milk'?

[sladewalters]

Yes.

[sladewalters]

I just got the question. You mean, why does it say miruku instead of gyuu-nyu. Well, that is one of many strange occurances in Japanese with regards to foreign things. Cream or milk for coffee or tea is referred to generically as miruku. Gyuu-nyu would be the kind you drink straight or add to a recipe. Don't ask me why. Rice in a bowl is Gohan but rice on a plate is raisu. Seriously.

[Iyasu16]

Hehe, interesting. Thank you for clearing that up.

[DavinTerrizzi]

Your Japanese pronounciation is AWESOME :]

[sladewalters]

Yes, I know. My japanese friends rag me about that, too. I was exaggerating the pronunciation of atakkai intentionally.

[DavinTerrizzi]

I don't mean it sarcastic! It really is good ^^

[sladewalters]

Oh, well then, thanks! I guess I'm a bit too sensitive.

[mandards]

bedio wo arigatou gozaimasu. Royal milk tea is even my favorite. ... Man I miss Japan

[multiaveraged]

great man, im hopefully off to osaka in august, i will definitely browse the vending machines :)

[alexwithnocapital]

i went there too it is very cool

i miss it

[ottselguy]

is it true you can buy used girls panties in those things 0.o...... those japanesies are wierd

[dirtwbag]

hot royal milk tea is my favorite too

[mikeboogie70]

Hey, very cool video. Big Shout out to Poko-san, one of the coolest dudes I ever met in Japan.

[PNWShawn]

Awesome video! Nice production values. I love Japanese vending machines! Another cool thing about that vending machine is that you can use you cell phone to pay for your hot creamed corn. Just put your pre-loaded phone up to the little pad next to the coin slot.

[sladewalters]

Now in the greater Tokyo area you can also pay for vending machine products with your subway electronic pass smart card. Convenience stores also accept IC smart cards.

[makrsma]

do they have this in US?

[vware1]

Very cool...and very interesting...!

[monkeykid50]

ROFL CREAM-CORN!!! and the vending machicne was next to a couple trashcans.....

[3R1loca]

hahah love the video. i live right here in osaka lol never thought of taking videos like yours hehe :P

[decibel90909]

Kohca-Kaden rocks!

[DC9990]

[309633246]

[narutochan135]

[Devenkamran]

[RENEDU2]

[FrambledEggs]

[PooingCavy]

nice editing and narrating.the ending looks like it was made by pros. AWESOME JOB!

[sladewalters]

Thanks!

[hotmal]

lol...i want 2 know how 2 hack japanese vending machines...i live in japan

[sladewalters]

I don't have a clue. I just pay for the stuff.

[hotmal]

pay..?? i need to know how 2 to get all da change in the machine....one worker came to collect the money and he used sometype of a code but itb was hard 2 see....

[hitch42hiker]

The giant neon display at the end was cool. Must cost oodles of money to light up Osaka at night.

[tatinator94]

wow, sugoi. i need to visit japan someday and mingle with the locals.

[denkouXsekka94]

i think i will do that too.

[MtFujiInMyPantsSUGOI]

Moving to Kansai in a year (Nara to be precise...) and looking forward to visiting Osaka. Been learning a mix of standard nihon-go and some kansai-ben...

[TheAsianOak]

Awesome, next time I go Japan, I'll definitely check out Osaka.

[sailorwhitetiger]

thanks soooooo much for posting!

[Blunty3000]

*sigh* one day I'll make it there :)

[sladewalters]

When you do, you have a place to stay and a tour guide.

[Blunty3000]

Very generous, thanks :)

[paperyoshi]

Milk Tea is Tea brewed in milk instead of water, Not tea with milk. :)

[sladewalters]

Actually, here in Japan you can order milk tea just about everywhere. When you do you get either hot or ice tea with a little thing of creamer. So, thanks for the comment, I must respectfully disagree.

[yamadayamada3]

lol What is usual for japanese is unusual for people who come from overseas sometime.

[yamadayamada3]

[d4vid2606]

Just returned from Japan and I love the Royal Milk tea as well - lol

[Kornkrlz]

i'm moving to japan to play for the urawa reds after college.

[RZetlin]

You should have bought some hot cream corn in a can and ate it.

[RoyksoppFanatic]

Dude! Japan is so cool!!! I've always wanted to go there ever since I was little...

[Masukee]

Creme corn? Gawd, Japan must rock.

[Rarcoan]

Pretty interesting vid, how long do you think it'll take for the next one to arrive? ^^

[sladewalters]

I'll try to post something in a couple of days.

[xdontalk2meex]
