we're going to look for the craziest thing we can find inside a Japanese vending machine,

日本ならではの 風変りな自販機を探しに行きます！

様態の副詞

With so little time to complete our mission,

日本最大の電気街 秋葉原に行きます！

we're heading to one of Tokyo's most eclectic and iconic locations: Akihabara. Let's go!

日本の建物や乗り物は ユニークですが

Japan has a unique feel and culture all its own, including tight cities and bustling public transportation.

But one thing you can't help but to notice is the sure amount of vending machines.

これまでも面白い自販機を 見つけてきました

They're everywhere, even at the top of mountains!

秋葉原でユニークな 自販機を探します

We've come across unique vending machines we haven't seen anywhere else, and that gave us the idea of this video.

We're on a mission to Akihabara to find the most unique vending machine experience possible.

My hair is so green! Your hair is so green too.

世界トップの混雑率 新宿駅で乗り換えます

What about me? Yea, yours is pretty freakin cool, Dude!

混雑を避けるため 土曜の朝に移動します

To get there we have to transfer trains at the world's busiest train station in Shinjuku.

Doing this with our families can be challenge, so we're going early on a Saturday to avoid congestion.

日本は世界で一番 自販機が大好きです

And then at the next stop are we getting off?

23人当たり 1台の自販機があります

[Announcement] The next station is Yoyogi...

Japan's love for vending machines is arguably greater than any other country in the world,

as there is an average of 1 vending machine per 23 people in Japan. That's crazy!

The most normal thing you find inside vending machines are drinks, hot and cold.

You can go up there and see the guy drive the train.

秋葉原駅は 総武線と山手線の乗換駅です

You can see the city and all the skyscrapers down there too.

Riding along the Chuo Sobu Line, Akihabara is the stop that intersects Japan's most famous train line: the Yamanote.

The train line opened in 1885 and connects many of Tokyo's major areas via a 34 and a half kilometer ring.

Akihabara should be the perfect place to find some unusual items.

- もうあるよ！ - アイス食べていい？

[Announcement] The next station is Akihabara, JB19.

飲み物かな？ 暖かいのと冷たいの

That one's like a screen where you can just touch. That's cool, huh?

Most of them have drinks, right? Hot drinks, cold drinks.

ジョシュア！ ニンテンドーだよ

変わった自販機が ある場所に向かいます

Our first stop will be at a corner known for its old vending machines with unusual items.

It's a short 10 minute walk from the station.

Well, let's see what kinds of crazy things...

What kinds of funny things do you see? Look!

Ball! It's like canned food you can buy in there.

And balls! And balls! Do you need some balls?

ベルも… ジングルベル出来るね

- チョコのコイン？ - あれだよ

Oh my goodness guys, what's the weirdest thing you see in here?

What is that? Let's see what we can find.

You can buy batteries... Or some crazy bugs

They're not that expensive either, look at that.

I'm sure you can buy it. Why else would it be here, plugged in?

I know, I think we should buy something, but let's see what else they have first.

What are those? Surprise boxes? That's crazy!

Popcorn! Popcorn! Oh my goodness, popcorn!

Look at this thing... Is there an entrance?!

- ポップコーンだよ - 動いてる？

I want to get out, please! I want to get out!

- 私も見るわ - 私には狭くないよ！

- チップスター？ - これ買うわ

No! That one's not. That's a nice way to say it doesn't work anymore.

[Debbie] I'm going to try going in there. [Sarah] It's not narrow for me.
