Greetings and welcome to Asakusa on New Year's Eve How you doing?

法助動詞 A2

I'm absolutely not going to be live streaming because there's no way that we'll have any kind of a signal there's just way too many people so we're gonna bring this to you in glorious 4k and super wide on the iPhone 11 Pro New Year's Eve in Japan is not a time where you go out to big countdown parties really it's a time where Japanese will spend with their families many people go back home to their hometowns and actually this is Kanae's hometown and we decided to come to the shrine which is Sensō-ji, Sensō-ji Temple which goes all the way back to the 8th century and yeah there's already a ton of people so join us for this experience I'm gonna take you through here and yeah if you do decide that you want to come to the New Year's Eve at Sensō-ji Temple in Asakusa well this is exactly the experience you're gonna have all right you can already tell there's a massive police presence here there's a Tokyo Skytree in front of us and what?

ライブストリーミングは絶対にしないつもりだ。なぜなら、電波が届かないし、人が多すぎるからだ、もし浅草の浅草寺で年越しをすることに決めたら、これはまさにあなたが経験することになる体験だ。

in order to go and to do it you have to get in line that's crazy are you kidding me?

そのために行列に並ばなければならないなんて、冗談じゃない。

お父さんが近道があるって言ってたよ。

お父さんは近道があるって言ってた？

I think we cannot find a shortcut in this situation right there is Kaminari-mon that's the main gate you see that big Chochin right there that's Kaminari-mon I cannot believe the amount of people here they're like coming from all directions oh my what should we do Kanae?

この状況では近道は見つからないと思う。あそこが雷門で、正門だよ。あそこに大きなちょうちんが見えるでしょ、あれが雷門。

I've never seen anything like it maybe we come back next year I've never seen this many people before at an event that is crazy it goes all the way down Nakamise-dori what should we do?

こんなの見たことない！来年も来ようかな。仲見世通りまで続くイベントで、こんなにたくさんの人を見たのは初めてだよ。

through the side street or other people have thought of that I think we can't go around the back can we?

脇道を通るか、他の人が考えてくれたんだけど、裏には回れないよね？

so we know that there's a back entrance you can go around Orange Street and come around through there maybe we have 20 minutes until New Year's I don't know what do you think?

裏口からオレンジ・ストリートを回り込んで、そこから来ることができる。

I cannot find the bottom of the line the back of the line yeah all right let's let's walk this way we'll go look for the back and see how bad this is it looks really bad you know what I think this is going to be the most crowded way because this is the way everybody is going to come into this part of the city unless you live here if you live here you're coming from the other direction I cannot be this line goes way way way back this is like about oh my god it's right now we are we are about 700 800 meters away from the shrine itself it's probably a good 10-minute walk okay there's the end of the line you can see it that red sign white and red red and white sign right there that's the end of the line do we go?

そうだ、この道を歩いてみよう。後ろを探してみよう。ここに住んでいるなら別だけど、ここに住んでいるなら別の方向から来ることになる。10分くらい歩くと思う。あそこが列の終点で、赤と白と赤と白の看板が見えると思う。

I don't know if I want to stand here all night and just I don't know what do we do?

一晩中ここに立っていたいかどうかわからないし、どうすればいいのかわからない。

all right we got to kind of do something all right I guess we got to go we came here by bicycle it's not that bad to get back home but it's I don't know and let's just try it right it's all about the experience it's all about the experience follow these down jacket people all right this year says the end of the line so line up here and behave yourself and you can see way way way in the distance is the entrance to the shrine sorry to the temple Sensoji is a temple so everyone here in this line is for some sort of countdown so we're going to we're going to go to the other side we're actually going against the current this is crazy and everybody in this line is like a foreign tourist so let's go around to the other side yeah let's escape and go someplace else I don't know we're behind some people from China and they didn't know why they were there so let's just go around this is I'd never seen this many people for Sensoji but the police presence is pretty creepy so we're not quite sure what everybody is doing here we're guessing that they're here for the countdown I don't know maybe there's fireworks that go off the Tokyo Skytree up there I'm not really sure oh you can see something is something going to happen for the Olympics maybe there's a Skytree up there there is something there on the tower it's going around there's the Tokyo Olympics we watched you on YouTube oh hello we loved your video oh thanks so much for your video it was amazing this is our first trip to Japan from California cool you waiting in line for Hatsumode?

そうだね、何かしなくちゃね。自転車でここまで来たんだから、帰るのも悪くないと思うけど、どうだろう。この列のみんなは何かのカウントダウンのために並んでいる。中国から来た人たちの後ろにいるんだけど、彼らはなぜそこにいるのかわからなかったみたい。でも、東京オリンピックのために、スカイツリーがあるのかもしれないし、塔の上で何かが回っているのかもしれない。

it looks like it's going to be really long I think so Sensoji oh that's great thank you all right that's nice to get to meet somebody from California let's walk a little bit around we're going to go around now I don't know why I'm guessing that there's no way in the police of course they always do a really good job of controlling the traffic and despite this being I bet you I bet you Shibuya is so much worse than Asakusa in terms of traffic but you don't have this is just for Hatsumode so we're going to go around Kaminarimon I don't need to do Hatsumode today in Japan you don't have to do it right at midnight until when can you do Hatsumode?

本当に長くなりそうだから、浅草寺にしようかな。でも、これは初詣のためだけだから、雷門を回ろう。日本では今日初詣をする必要はないんだ。

until about the third oh my word let's go over here and see the crowd check out the crowd here this is a line of epic proportions all right check this out oh yeah oh my word look at the line there this is Nakamise-dori the famous shopping street in Asakusa and you can just see we're really really far away from the entrance of Sensō-ji this is like the actual temple itself way down there so I don't know let's explore a little bit more let's keep going let's walk and see how far we can get I guess the people walking this direction came up we do have a really windy day we had a windy day and the weather is in the winter it's typically pretty chilly I guess it's comparable to Washington D.C. in the winter you can see the line and the brakes every now and then but of course they've closed it off they're selling food on the sides here what time is it now?

3つ目くらいまで......そうだ、こっちに行って人混みを見てみよう。浅草寺の入り口までは本当に遠いんだ。だから、もう少し探検してみよう。冬のワシントンD.C.に匹敵すると思う。たまに行列やブレーキが見えるけど、もちろん閉鎖されている。

okay all right we got to keep moving it's a little crowded in here they do have some street food here on the side that's interesting just got body checked there's some gyukatsu some beef katsudon that looks really good these are famous shops here on the side of Nakamise-dori we are sneaking around the sides of the great line let's call it of Asakusa at New Year's the police are fortifying the walls here there's the line of people going in for New Year's prayer we're going to keep going now I'm starting to see do you see the roof over there?

ちょっと混んでるけど、屋台の食べ物があるんだ。牛カツとか牛丼とか、おいしそうなのがあるんだよ。お正月の浅草の大行列とでも言おうか、その脇をコソコソと歩いているんだ。警察が塀を固めていて、初詣に行く人たちの列がある。

you can see the roof of roof of the temple just in the distance only in Japan oh hey Happy New Year we've seen all the videos we've watched all your videos three times the other day we went to the sushi place that you talked about with the gacha right yeah yeah that's really cool how long are you here for?

お寺の屋根が遠くに見えるのは、日本だけだよ。

till tomorrow tomorrow wow this is our second time to Japan oh cool first time and in between we watch your videos we've seen your videos oh cool only in Japan we love your adventures wow so you're going to get to celebrate New Year's twice then if you go back tomorrow that's right is that how it works?

明日まで 明日まで wow これは僕たちにとって2回目の日本なんだ oh cool first time and between between we watch your videos we've seen your videos oh cool only in Japan 僕らは君の冒険が大好きなんだ wow so you're going to get to celebrate New Year's twice then if you go back tomorrow that is that ri

I think so yeah I'm wondering how many New Year's can we actually celebrate oh you just keep going around then you get back where did you eat tonight?

そうだね......何回新年を迎えられるんだろうね。

we ate at home we don't live too far away nice yeah we ate at a hot spot okay Wagyu beef wow here in Asakusa great all you can eat Wagyu all you can eat wow that's pretty good deal do you know what is happening here tonight?

そうそう、ホットスポットで食べたんだ。和牛が食べ放題なんて、浅草では最高だね。

all the people landing up on the other side of the wall there they're going in for Hatsumori which is the New Year's prayer that starts at midnight okay so they're getting the line goes back almost like a kilometer it's crazy we were in the line you were in the line?

壁の向こう側に降り立った人たちは、真夜中に始まる新年の祈りである初詣に行くんだ。

I gave up the line we gave up the line we gave up the line we're going in from the side that's the best way where is the best place to watch?

ラインは諦めた......ラインは諦めた......サイドから入るのがベストだ......どこで見るのがベストなんだ？

I don't know in Japan we usually stay at home for New Year's we don't go out and do countdowns so this is all new is it alright if we celebrate New Year's with you?

日本ではお正月は家にいるのが普通だし、外に出てカウントダウンをすることもない。

well yeah let's see where we end up I think we got like 5 minutes to go whoa there's a lady there alright I don't think we get any closer than this alright there's Nakamise oh that's not Nakamise which street is this here?

そうだな、どこまで行けるかな......あと5分くらいかな......おっ、あそこに女性がいる......これ以上近づけないと思うんだけど......仲見世がある......あれ、仲見世じゃない......ここはどこの通りだ？

Denpo Indori and typically the street will go across and then Nakamise Dori is this way but we can't get in there's a wall so I don't know what happens countdown happens and then they let everybody in that would be ideal that would be ideal we can see the street over here oh yeah alright we're not sure what will happen I believe that this route might be closed alright those people were saying yameyo meaning they gave up so there's no way in and there's no way out there's no way in and there's no way out once you get in here you're trapped we escaped at the last minute they let us out oh they let you out?

伝法院通りを横切って、仲見世通りはこっちなんだけど、壁があって入れないんだ。カウントダウンが起きて、それからみんなを中に入れてくれたら理想的なんだけど。どうなるんだろう。このルートは閉鎖されるかもしれないな。あの人たちはヤメテって言ってたけど、ヤメテってのは諦めたって意味だから、中に入る方法も出口もないんだ。ここに入ったら、もう閉じ込められちゃうよ。私たちはギリギリで脱出した。

that's good is it true that they are not very big on fireworks in Japan?

日本では花火があまり盛んではないというのは本当ですか？

not in the city they have a law where there's no open fires in the center so they had some big fires a hundred years ago and they just cut it off except for the fireworks that they do have they're really small in the city but out there in the countryside they're like 10 times the size are we going to see any from here?

都会では、中心部では焚き火をしてはいけないという法律があるから、100年前には大きな火事があったんだ。

no I don't think there's any fireworks at all if there are maybe maybe the Skytree does something I don't know I would expect the Skytree to do something cool it says Tokyo Olympics on the side of it is that Tokyo 2020?

スカイツリーの横に東京オリンピックって書いてあるんだけど、あれは東京2020ってこと？

yeah that's about it are you going to be in Tokyo?

ええ、そんなところです......東京にいらっしゃるんですか？

yeah yeah I'm not going anywhere what time is it?

ええ、ええ、私はどこにも行きませんよ。

it's about 3 minutes 6 minutes before 3 minutes before?

yeah about 3 minutes about 3 minutes we got about 3 minutes to go and we're trapped there's no way we can go out even this way the way we came in here is pretty full of people I can hurt the crowd for you and the police are announcing what are the police announcing?

ああ、あと3分くらいだ。あと3分くらいで外に出られないんだ......この道だって、ここに入ってきた道だって、人がいっぱいいるんだ......君のためなら、群衆を痛めつけることもできる......警察のアナウンスは？

from this street they're actually announcing it here in English from this street but you cannot get to Sensoji Temple from this street so there's no way in and there's no way out there's no way out we're trapped here but we know a side entrance so actually the people have to get out somehow so maybe we can go around we can't go back there either actually yeah we can't go back this way either one more so either way we're trapped was this the experience that you were hoping for?

この通りからだと英語でアナウンスされているんだけど、この通りから浅草寺に行くことはできないから、入ることもできないし、出ることもできない。

this is what it's like coming out to a temple and there's no fireworks maybe there'll be a cheer and then that's it and then I don't know and then we go home we go home it's so sweet I can't get out all right so we're about we're about one minute away now just no countdown or anything it's very anticlimactic again like in Japan we didn't start celebrating New Year's on January 1st until around 1872 and then before that we would celebrate New Year's on the Chinese calendar so this is all new these are new traditions I think even 150 years later we're still not sure what to do so we just stand here and you too can one day be here if you decide to come to Sensoji and crowd in but Japanese?

お寺に出てきて、花火が上がるわけでもなく、歓声が上がって、それで終わり......。日本では1月1日にお正月を祝うようになったのは1872年頃からで、それ以前は旧暦でお正月を祝っていた。

I can't get in I can't get in from here 2 minutes left 2 minutes left here It's okay Thank you Thank you all right we're just kind of waiting here Japan is one of the first countries to celebrate New Year's because we're on the other side of the international date line from the US you'll be celebrating several hours later but the festivities are pretty live it is moving here they're moving a little bit over there 20 seconds 20 seconds somebody has a clock I guess we're counting down 5 4 3 2 1 yay all right we didn't even make it to Sensoji temple we're like trapped but yay 2020 is here Happy New Year that was fun yay so that starts 2020 from this point on I must focus on video content to create and highlight Japan in a very informative manner the mission is to create as much content as I possibly can that informs you I take my job seriously but tonight anyways let's put that to the side Happy New Year everybody we say in Japanese Happy New Year Happy New Year Happy New Year  say that with me Happy New Year Happy New Year and that means Happy New Year this year see you around all right well that's it because we're on the other side of the line we can't do Hatsumode that's it but Tokyo 2020 only in Japan I like the sound of that so you're going home tomorrow right?  January 1st last 38 hours for me milk it keep drinking only in Japan yes baby all right now our quiet New Year starts we had our fun how do we get out of here?

あと2分、あと2分、あと2分、あと2分、あと2分、あと2分、あと2分、あと2分。でも、お祭りはかなり生中継されている。20秒20秒......誰かが時計を持っていて、カウントダウンしているようだ。2020年、これから私はビデオ・コンテンツに集中し、非常に有益な方法で日本を紹介しなければならない。謹賀新年 謹賀新年 謹賀新年 謹賀新年 謹賀新年 謹賀新年 謹賀新年 謹賀新年 謹賀新年 今年もよろしくお願いします。  1月1日、僕にとっては最後の38時間、日本でしか飲めないミルクを飲み続けよう。

the police are telling us the police are telling us that we can't go in there you have to wait in that massive line but hey guess what we got pretty far ourselves so let's find a way to get out of here he's saying we should go somewhere else he's saying we should go somewhere else I know he's pushing us off to this way I think this is where we should go because I don't want to get beaten up by Japanese police can I hug you?

警察は僕らに、あそこには入れない、あの大行列の中で待たなきゃいけないって言うんだ。でもね、僕らもかなり遠くまで来たんだから、ここから出る方法を探そうって言ってるんだ。どこか別の場所に行こうって言ってるんだ。彼は僕らをこっちの道に押しやろうとしてるんだ。

okay so Kanai is saying to go this way hug the pole hug the pole body check 2020 where's Kanai?

金井はポールに抱きついてこっちへ行けと言っている。

2020 feels pretty nice it feels a little warmer than it did about 10 minutes ago yeah but I hope that you are having a really good New Year so now we're about a minute removed from 2020 we're in a new this actually isn't a new decade it just seems like it it's pretty cool but if you check out the artwork around here it is pretty neat Asakusa at night you can see it is still pretty festive lot of people walking around this area but everybody's come here to pray and we came here just for a countdown I guess we actually don't even know why we came here why did we come here?

2020年は、10分前より少し暖かくなって、とてもいい感じです。この辺りのアートワークを見てみると、とてもすてきなんだ。夜の浅草はまだお祭りのようで、たくさんの人がこの辺りを歩いている。

we don't really know just we decided to come and check it out oh look just drunk people well and so starts the year of the Olympics from this point forward I'm on a mission to create as much excellent content for the rest of the world to see the beauties of this country we haven't actually entered a new decade that starts in 2021 but we're looking forward to have a good year with you and I hope you join us on the Only in Japan Go channel and the main channel all the channels we'll see you around everybody thanks for visiting us in Asakusa joining us for a New Year's countdown party yours will be coming a little bit later because Japan is one of the first places in the world how do we get out of here?

oh they turn the lights off they turn the lights off one more thing Taiyaki our first meal of 2020 has to be hot Taiyaki she's moving really fast that's custard you sure you don't want custard?

ああ、電気を消すんだ......電気を消すんだ......もうひとつ、たい焼き......2020年の最初の食事は、熱々のたい焼きに限る......彼女の動きは本当に速い。

it's like I was just here two three days ago yeah it's about two dollars for one but if you want the premium cream premium custard it's gonna cost you two dollars and forty cents 240 yen all right that's weird I've never seen this box before oh we can't eat it now?

でも、プレミアム・クリーム・プレミアム・カスタードを食べようと思ったら、2ドル40セント（240円）かかるんだ。

oh no it's okay we're gonna eat that I think you've seen what the Taiyaki looks like we're gonna eat that back home once again Japanese New Year is a time where you spend it with the family we're with her her dad and her brother and her sister no her sister's fiance and yeah this isn't a live stream it's just weirder I wish this is a live stream but that's the experience at Asuka's shrine so bye-bye Taiyaki and this area and see you in another live stream tomorrow maybe we're gonna see what Kanae's cooked up for breakfast bye-bye Happy New Year

いやいや、大丈夫だよ。たい焼きがどんなものか見てもらったと思うから、家に戻って食べよう。日本のお正月は家族と一緒に過ごすものだ。彼女のお父さん、お兄さん、妹、いや、妹の婚約者と一緒だよ。そう、これはライブストリームじゃないんだ。ライブストリームであってほしいけど、これが飛鳥の神社での経験だから、バイバイ。バイバイ、たい焼きとこのエリアで。また明日のライブストリーミングで会おうね。もしかしたら、かなえが朝ごはんに何を作るか見られるかもしれないし。バイバイ、あけましておめでとう。
