[hanaryukoku]

haha, just to clarify(and probably ruin the joke) Men's Egg is a very famous teen-fashion based magazine in japan. There's also a girl's version just called Egg, same concept. Yeah...strange name though...ahem.

[hanaryukoku]

oops, just realized somebody beat me too it haha. Damnit seamonkeywater.

[BusanKevin]

No worries! Thanks a lot for the message :)

[LEO11111111222211111]

Oh! Thank you for photography.

アメ村 is my hometown. I added your vid to my playlist. Your vid is really nice photography.

Thank you very much, Kevin-san♪

[BusanKevin]

You're welcome! I'm glad you liked it so much :)

[blackberrybunny]

At the end of your video, there is a guy sitting there with a mohawk! COOL!

[seamonkeywater]

lol men's egg is a men's fashion magazine. for the male ver. of a ganguro/mamba/yamamba/etc. i dunno if it still exists or if it now caters to a different style. but yea.

[BusanKevin]

Wow...cool! I had no idea. Is the ganguro/mamaba style still at all popular? I think I've only ever seen one or two guys with that style since I've been in Japan.

[seamonkeywater]

I had a Japanese language teacher who said she was a ganguro when she was in high school and she said that was over 5 years ago and that style is no more. I see people in Tokyo looking pretty close to a gangugro,etc. but not like the original. I have no idea what that current style is called, but I do see lots of really tanned Japanese with wild hair, not so much the severe makeup.

[TheFrenchGuy]

2:04 I had no idea that they sell ドナルド vs カーネル・サンダース shirts in Japan! I wish I could buy one.

[DrahFaith]

Im not positive but I was told by my japanese friend half women is a term they use for lesbians. It means that their spirit or some such is half of a womans and half of a mans(because they like women)

[narutosasuke1986]

What program do you use to edit your videos?

Because when i go to Korea i want to keep a video journal for my family sort of like you have.

What kind of camera do you use?

is it true that Korea is two years ahaed of the U.S in Cell Phone Technology?

Im very curious, sorry, Thanks

[BusanKevin]

I'm just using Window Movie Maker which comes with all pc's. It's limited but can do simple editing. I use a Sony Cybershot handheld digital camera to take vids.

And yes....Korean cell phones are years ahead of anything in the States. When I moved back to Canada last year I bought a new phone yet it seemed like I was stepping back in time!

[poshko41]

Just out of curiosity, where are you going in Korea?

[BusanKevin]

Not sure what you mean. I'm not going to Korea. I used to live in Korea a few years ago. I lived in Both Seoul and Busan. Now I live in Japan :)

[poshko41]

Oops! I meant to reply to narutosasuke1986's comment! Nice video btw. :)

[BusanKevin]

hehe...cool! No problem. Thanks. Glad you liked it!

[metinelu]

great vid!~campai!:*

[BusanKevin]

Thanks a bunch! I'll raise a glass to that as well!

[glennpw]

I really liked the shot of the japanese fireman. Great outfit.

[BusanKevin]

Yeah...looks like they're ready to deal with some major heat!

[JoeCubicle]

Love the videos, keep them coming. What were you drinking at the end of the vid?

[BusanKevin]

Thanks! It was a Kirin Lager...one of my favorite Japanese beers! It especially tasted good since it was so hot out :)

[HotPocketEXE]

Extra credit for the Reel Big Fish ;D subbed.

[BusanKevin]

Awesome...thanx!

[JayDeLart]

I suppose that does sort of resemble Japan Town, down near San Francisco... xP

Thanks for taking the time to show us the sights on your Saturday, Kevin! Excellent video. (^_^)

Btw, do you know if anyone get hurt in the fire?

[BusanKevin]

Don't think so. I didn't see ambulances racing away from the scene. It was mostly firefighters and police.

Is Japan Town in San Fran big? I haven't been to the West Coast of the U.S. yet.

[JayDeLart]

Oh, that's good.

I'm not entirely sure how big Japan Town is, to be honest.

I know there are several Japanese neighborhoods within the immediate area around it, but when I checked the map, it turned out they didn't consider those areas to be a part of "Japan Town", so it seems, officially, it's small.

[tdvu]

it's not really big. i lived for a couple months over there and was close by so i did frequent the place the area a few times. i'd describe it as a little quaint few blocks.

In JapanTown, they had a denny's over there and if im correct, they're the only denny's that serves fried rice!

[BusanKevin]

Would never think to go to Denny's for fried rice!

[Arsenal8457]

Hey love the video. Oh and question. Do you play a Reel Big Fish song in every video? It sure does seem like it.

[BusanKevin]

I sure do....it`s the theme song to my little intro! I`ll make a new intro very soon...I`m already getting bored of the one I have. Unfortunatley I`m using Windows Movie Maker so my `cool editing` factor is limited.

Thanks for diggin the vid!

[NichiBeiTrader]

Was that Men's Egg store for women? Any positions available?!! ;-P

[BusanKevin]

I don't know, but I'm planning on dropping off a job application! hehe

[Xtian913]

The way Japanese youth mix and match fashion is so inspiring. Thanks for sharing this all!

[BusanKevin]

It's pretty damn amazing! Every time I see young Japanese people, it puts things into perspective.....I realize how "un-hip" I really am! hehe

[pedoro4477]

i <3 japan!!!!!!!

[BusanKevin]

It is a cool place!

[wageofsins]

Haha I really want that naked Olympic runner shirt, sadly, it's probably burnt down to the ground by now judging by the rest of the clip.

[BusanKevin]

Nope...the naked runner store was intact afterwards!! It's still here waiting for ya!!! The Colonel and Ronald fighting to the death t-shirts were the ones I found really odd!

[everbluenocturne]

we definitely got guys that look like girls eh?

[BusanKevin]

hehe...at times that is true!

[ElevenColors]

Oh, they have a Kamikaze Style shop in Osaka? I recognize the T-Shirts. The one with Hello Kitty shooting Miffy in the head reads something like "You're overlapping, your chatracter is..."

[BusanKevin]

Pretty nuts! I thought those shirts were cool.
