Hope you’ve got some snacks ready - this is the longest video we’ve EVER made 😂 Which country’s tech do you want us to test next?

I’ve never seen someone buy so many items at a Japanese electronic store. You must have broken a record 😂 Thanks for having me along for the day man, was a lot of fun!

Looks like you guys had an amazing tech shopping spree in Japan! Next time round, how about scoping out some everyday gizmos. Would love to see how Japan's home-tech game stacks up against ours.

Bro didn’t wash his rice

To reduce the stickiness of rice id recommend washing it prior! It removes the starch and takes just an extra 5 minutes! (You fill the rice-cooker bowl with the dry rice and fill it with water, massage the rice until the water is clearer, and repeat until its semi-transparent)

Fun Fact, there was actually another company in Japan called "Logitec" (it's spelled the same as Logitech in Japanese), and they were in Japan before Logitech was able to open up anything in Japan, so Logitech had to change their name to Logicool in Japan only to avoid a name conflict.

Please give your editor a raise...the timing on those meme cuts are just perfect.

This is some crazy production value. The fact that they did this at an actual dojo, setting up the tvs, the everything, to test out all these stuff, the cameras, and lightning mist have been set up there too. That is insane effort

The fact that he's never seen a trackball mouse before makes me feel old af

This 40 minutes long video felt very short. Arun really knows how to keep his viewers engaged

Oh my god! I never expected to see Chris on this channel! This is the crossover we DID NOT expect, but absolutely NEEDED!

Love your reviews but i especially love the visual effects an added animation. Nicely done.

This is by far the best gadgets demo then anyone else have done. You rock!

Woah that didn’t feel like a 40min video knowing that our attention spans these days are all too short because of tiktok and reels. Arun really knows how to create engaging and entertaining videos!! 😮

I'm a huge fan of mrwhosetheboss and a huge fan of Abroad in Japan... It is the best collab I could've asked for!!!

You should definitely do this in Shanghai and South Korea as well! Tech in Asia is DEFINITELY different compared to western tech! You can find pretty much anything you thought you wanted without any fuss. My dad always brings home 4-7 packages filled with tech stuff, Japanese sweets, or beauty products because it’s way more convenient.

Logitech has been making trackball mice since the beginning. You can buy them here too they're just not that common. People with occupational injuries sometimes use them.

This is so surreal. I've been letting the Abroad in Japan channel build up videos to binge, and after the Frozen Frontier series, I went back to another video from Arun to finish it, and I was like "Oh yeah! There's a new video, I wanna watch that!" And now seeing Chris walk in was like... The only way I can express the feeling was imagine you watch a TV show, and then switch to another TV show, only to see the character from the other TV show nonchalantly walk in. Like, what?

Akihabara is the tech town of Japan, and Yodobashi is just one of the few stores out there! I’d definitely recommend taking a stroll around the area 😊

Very awesome video! I'd love to visit Japan someday and check out the culture for myself. Thank you for sharing!

Your socks are inside out 😂 Love your videos though mate. Keep up the good work 👌

I'm Japanese and it's nice to see a video that's Japan-centric, especially from my favorite Tech UKpostsr

The collab we didn’t know we needed. Truly amazing!!

Wait you didnt wash the rice😨😰😱

I really love all this cool tech, from the ball mouse to the air duster, to advanced Nintendo Switch accessories, small cameras, rice cookers, and open ear earbuds

the collab we did not expect to blend so well. love it

What an amazing collab! I watch his Japan content alot and this is really cool to see.

Please make this a series with every country!!

Whoever edited this good job it really shows the effort on your team (subscribed)

This is an amazing collab, never thought I’d see you doing this will Chris!

I was in that store and some others when I was in Tokyo. This was definitely the best experience. They have almost everything you can think of. I wanted to test some mechanical keyboards and I had a chance to compare so many of them.

I’m a drafter who uses that trackball mouse with Civil 3D every day. Once you get used to it fine control with your finger is no problem at all. I have never used the tip of my thumb to control it. It just takes some time to get used to it. Also changing the sensitivity settings will help greatly. I enjoyed the video!

The collab we've never expected to ever happen, but we're all here for it!

19:45 oh no, He did not wash the rice

My fav tech japan is kitchen tools, very helpfull the knife,the rice cooker,the toaster, coffee machine etc all works and so helping especially when you live alone

Trackballs were popular here in the US back in the early 2000s. I had a few Trackball Opticals from Microsoft over the years and I LOVE trackballs! Sadly, aside from like Logitech, they sort of vanished. I used to use them to play first person shooter games and got very proficient using it. My friends never understood how I could do so well, using a trackball lol 😊

Arun hanging out with Chris looks like a drunk dad hanging out with his son buying toys 😄😀

Thanks for taking us on a tour of what I think is the best toy store ever. 4:35 Trackballs have been around since the arcade games of the 80s. I can't believe this is the first time that Arun has seen one.

Great presentation - as always !!! Thanks man !

21:42 That's because Logitech started operations in Japan in 1988, and by that time, there was already a company called Logitec in Japan which started in 1982. So, they renamed themselves as Logicool in Japan to avoid using the same name.

your one of my favorite UKpostsrs Arun. you always have a fresh happy smile on your face

the collar that I needed!! Abroad in Japan is my favorite channel

I used to work in an IT store in Denmark, and roughly half the products you showed off here we sold in that store as well.

I live here in Tokyo and it's good to see people enjoying Japan. By the way, even Yodabashi Camera is one of my favorite stores. I buy all my electronics from there. This shop is in Akihabara, popular for anime and electronics. I'm hope you enjoyed it!

That trackball mouse is something I used at my job back in the late 80s, early 90s. You’ve never seen one before?! This was a great collab! Love to watch both yours and Chris’s channels. That store completely blows my mind. I could be in there for days… Love the longer video, btw. This was enjoyable to watch.

Considering how popular Shokz are in Japan, I thought for a second this was one of the things you picked. I have an older pair and they are pretty useful when riding a bike. It is fun to see you have fun with Japanese tech.

The brand BOSE has a neck speaker (wireless and Bluetooth) like the one you bought. I tried one at the store and was super comfortable. The sound was incredible almost like the sound is around you, different experience...

I think I can go an entire day exploring this shop without rest or food, genuinely amazing.

How do you never run out of ideas? Genuinely one of the best tech channels on UKposts, great work!

i haven't been to japan for nearly thirty years, but when i went they had stuff we still don't have over here, they do water based car wax that is easy to apply and polish and repels water, and glass coating that repels water much better than anything i've seen in the UK. also they coat their toilets with an anti bacterial that means you never have to clean the toilet, unless you want. i can't even remember the electronic goods that was in stores, but it's still not appeared over in the UK. my ex is japanese and my fav thing was the kiddies buggy we bought, one button to open it and one button to fold it away. when we first got married, 1995, we went to register it with the local prefecture - everything is paper, they don't do anything official in japan with computers, its papers and family seals and the registry office was floor to ceiling wooden plan chests of documents. my in laws had f15's and blackhawks circling their house 24/7 too, they live next to an airbase.

Funny seeing you drop the ball out of the Kensington Track mouse! - I own one and literally the first thing that happened as I opened the box was exactly what happened to you, dropped the ball and chased it across the floor!

5:51 Mrwhosetheuncle Looking Crazy😂

crazy english tech guy with crazy japanese tech is the crossover i never expected. edit: wtf is wrong with the people in replies ( I'm one of the weirdos)

Thank you for sharing

Everything is soooooo expensive!! But I enjoyed every second of this video! (brilliant editing!!)

19:41 ALWAYS WASH YOUR RICE 😤

I was in Japan earlier this year and had NO idea this store existed prior to going to Akihabara. I kinda "accidentally" stumbled into this store and decided to venture through almost all the floors and...my ADHD brain could *NOT* comprehend what I was witnessing in real time 😂 All I remember is wanting to buy something *so bad* but because I was immensely overwhelmed by the sheer choice of literally ANYTHING I could want, I left empty handed. Yodobashi left me mentally drained for the rest of the day. I still can't believe it exists! If you're visiting Japan and want your brain to explode, go check it out!

The Logi Pop Keys are sold internationally (including UK) I bought one last year and have already moved on to the MX Mechanical

Amazing video appreciate it

8:26 I am seriously gonna cry now!😭 I've always had baby fever, but this? This makes it BUY-able!

I love that he’s never seen a ball mouse. These things have existed for ages

More like this please. Feature length presentations is a go

I'm actually surprised the speaker is the first item that came with a pair of white gloves. I have purchased a LOT of products directly from Japanese manufacturers and almost ALL of them have a pair of cloth white gloves in the package. It's a thing over there, and personally I think it's a good thing.

for the neckband speakers, they're also amazing for if you're in a noisy environment where you also still need to hear. let's say for a warehouse worker. earbuds don't work because you might have heavy machinery like a forklift rolling around you occasionally, but they still allow music speakers. the neckband speakers would be great for you! i actually personally use a pair every day for my own job as a forklift operator.

What a miracle I have been watching both of these guys for ages and never expected this to occur in a million years

In the US, we used to have a department store chain before Internet shopping took over. It was called Best Products. You would shop and check the items to make sure they were what you wanted. You would then take the ticket, pay for the item, and they would bring it from the warehouse in the back to the pick up counter. It was marketed as a catalog store that allowed you to test out the products before buying.

8:25 What is this cute Thing!! I want one so bad 😍😍😍 Thank you For sharing these cute robos 🥺🥺

i feel like i have just inherited two children 😂😂😂 that got me for real 8:34

Just loved the entire vibe of you being in Japan. Especially that mat in the room, have only seen them in Anime. I really love their decoration style. And the Store feels like a heaven. I really want to visit Japan Once.

nice video brother, really enjoy it.. hope you do it more in the future, that place like a heaven for us bois 🙌🙌🙏🙏🤣🤣

Love that suitcase record player. My mother had one way back in 50's, I played with it as a child. Very nostalgic.

40 minutes never felt so short amazing storytelling pace and editing 😍😍👌👌

The way the robot swipes away his hands got me 😂 @11:01

I saw the air duster and was sold - instantly looked it up at amazon and ordered one. Its so much easier cleaning the keyboard then removing all keys and do it manually!

I enjoyed this content so much!

23:21 He commited a war crime against that keyboard 😅

I might get banned for this but at 13:41 he says it feels like moving up from a kid you to a ADULT TOY

That B&O modular speaker setup is insane.

Nice to see the colab with Chris Broad! Yeah, as an American, I grew up thinking rice was just there to help fill you up and not taste good or have any taste at all really, but when I went to Japan, I was floored at how good rice can taste.

Two of my favourite British UKpostsrs... in one of my favourite countries... in Yodobashi Camera! The first thing I did after arriving in Tokyo was spend half a day exploring this one shop! 😄

MyFirst R1S FINALLY SOMETHING NEW!!! Great idea too!

I REALLY LOVE THIS KIND OF VIDEOS

I’m a Japanese in the UK and I really enjoyed this. Shame the kids watch won’t work in the UK. With child safety more of an issue here than in Japan it would probably do relatively well here. I love rice cookers and bought all my friends one over a couple of years. Yum Asia do good ones in the UK and not as expensive as the Japanese leader but similar technology. I didn’t see it in the video, and I know it’s not a cooking channel… but I hope you washed the rice first…. 😅

This is a dream collab! For a long time I watched you guys' channels and appreciated you in every video, but seeing you conquer the biggest electronic store together is such a nice surprise. Japan lifestyle carries both futuristic prospects and the relics of the past, so any kind of video from there is bound to be the most interesting tech and lifestyle content.

Honestly its kind of off topic for the video but i love how you made that sponsored bit feel so natural part of the video. I only realised it was an ad from you saying to click the link below for more info.

I'm not sure if there is anything any actual video about steering wheels, cause gotta admit I'd like to see such one on your channel!

Dude, that vid flew by, and you know how we're all like goldfish with our attention spans, thanks to YT Shorts? MrWhoseTheBoss totally kills it with vids that keep you hooked and entertained!

The ball mouse is called a trackball, pretty useful especially helping reduce RSI. its been available for years in the west but we hardly made a fuss about it. Also for fine control, you can use a hotkey on your keyboard to move super slow to be accurate.

I've got an Old version of the box record player. It was for picnics 😊. It cranks, plays 78s, uses replaceable needles, has a flap in the lid for up to 5 records, and is about 100 years old!

The leg "workout" device, is actually for helping with varicose veins, peripheral arterial disease etc. At least that's why I bought a device similar to this, with the same EMS tech, for my mum. She seems to think it has been helping so far

The fact that he is wearing his socks inside out like most of us folks makes him as down to the earth UKpostsr😂. 17:14

Japan is known to have unique and almost impossible tech, I have watched other creators show and review them and I must say I am impressed

When I was a kid back in the 60’s I had a small turn table just like the one he was raving about. Granted the speaker was tinny but you could listen to either albums or 45’s.

The "ball mouse" is actually called a trackball, used be quite common in the 90s as an alternative to a regular mouse, still used with a lot of CAD work.

The collab I could never have dreamed of. Thank you for making this you guys

This is the crossover I didn't know I wanted. Love both of these channels

I like that he bought a normal Logi Pop Keyboard totally missing that Logitech transfoms to Logi everywhere and that Keyboard is available everywhere.

one of the best mrwhosetheboss videos of all time

the timing of those memes is just *chef's kiss*

A collab I never saw coming, it was pleasure seeing Arun with the most affable man on Earth.
