Iwate Swan 21: Akihabara Reunion

Part 2 of my adventures in Tokyo after returning to Japan during winter break. This time, my friend Shinya and I did a little shopping around Shibuya and then went to Akihabara to meet our friend Keisuke. I was on the hunt for a Japanese sega saturn (didn't want to mail my Japanese saturn in from the states, figured it would be cheaper to buy another one), and so what better place to look for one than in electric town?

We went to my favorite retro gaming store, and a few other cool gaming stores as well. So enjoy all of the video games! Also featured is a look at the bullet trains that lead back up to northern japan, and a first look at the snow that has fallen here. Enjoy and see you next time!

Another sega saturn? What happen to the one you had?

[rodgerswan]

my other 2 are in america. it would cost more to ship them here then just buy a new one actually.

... This is the third video I've watched and I'm still so angry that you had to go, it's so unfair. There's so many ungrateful people in the world, but I've never seen someone so happy to just be alive. I'll miss you, even though I've never met you personally. :( R.I.P

[MarijuanaActivist]

His mother is going to be logging onto his account every so often just to keep the account active and also i am guessing to watch some beautiful memories of her sons life

[BalladarezAnthony]

I miss you swan you're such a good person.

[gooforr]

The good die young :( R.I.P Rodger, wish you could still be around making videos.

[NoVaGamester]

@darkxymo Couldn't have said it better.

~Love/Peace

@crown4life Acute Pancreatitis... Apparently. It's a shame that he's gone really. I know a lot of people doing nothing for themselves that seem to survive everything. It's sad.

Anywho, I'm looking into what killed him to better protect myself/others in the future.

[JGD1985]

Hell yea, if you go to Akihabara you must visit Super Potato! It's the best retro game store I have ever seen.

[darkxymo]

Even after 100x watching RodgerSwan vids, you never get tired off it and eventhough you know how its going to end you still curious. Always brings a smile to my face. Until next time rodger -r.i.p-

I was just in Japan and after watching some more of Rodgers videos I realized that I went to the same game place he went to in the video. I feel so proud that I was able to walk in the same footsteps as Me. Swan. RIP, you will be missed.

[Draidic]

It sad to think your life had ended so abruptly. life truly is not a fair game. I am deepy sad to have never known you before you were gone, but i am glad to have known you through the videos you posted. Your a man of honor Rodger Swan. I will never forget your journey
