Cakes with Faces It's like a drug. You don't need a "hamster on an egg". But u want it cause Japan said it was ok...in the form of a perfect little capsule.

Best: Amy. Strangest: Phil. Amy would have had a clean sweep with the vomiting animal statue if she had grabbed that.
Strangest - definitely the donut w/ ants Best - without a doubt the rave dinosaur 😊

Hi Denise, Congratulations - you're the winner of the gachapon! I've sent you a message on Google+ - let me know if you didn't get it! :-)
I was in Akiba on Monday the strangest gacha I found were the animals with large chins :’) I love your videos they were very helpful when I was preparing for my trip!

There's so many! Like those ones of meat in polystyrene trays like at the supermarket...! 😂
While a melting turtle is pretty odd, I'd say the strangest is Phil's (I'd love to see the brainstorming session for things like this!), and the best is Amy's. Really, who wouldn't want a rave dinosaur?!
Strangest: Phil Best: Amy
What a fantastic video! I just arrived in Tokyo today and can’t wait to go gachapon hunting! Strangest - Phil Best - Amy
Strangest - Phil Best - Amy Just found your channel and I am so so happy. Love Japan , cannot wait to visit again...

Best Ami and Strangest goes to Phil. I liked all of them though. I wish I could go to Japan someday
What suspense! HAAAA! I was kind of going crazy, and it is only 5:04 minutes into the video! Good job.

Looking at the characters I think you're right! Looks like they have an extra purpose (they open up) but I can't tell what!
Question, why do you think gachapon has increasingly became popular? I would think people would just have too much of them and just stuff them inside the junk drawer at home. Do people hang them on the wall or something that I don't known of

There's no hidden purpose! :-) I think they're popular because they're fun and cheap. I've noticed a big increase in the number of shops with nothing but gachapon, which I think is due to the increase in tourism, and how those shops are low cost and easy to run. I do often wonder though, about the amount of collectibles in Japan vs people having small houses/apartments.
Mmm, puddle of melted turtle. 😂 Best: Hamster on the mushroom! Strangest: Puddle of melted turtle has to win that
This was lots of fun! The strangest was Phil's ant-food (I would've totally picked the puking statues 😁). Cutest was the SG rave dinosaur!
Love the light up dinosaur so Amy gets the best!!
..i wish i saw this video earlier..the best was the "glowing/rave" gachapon..the strangest is definitely the food with ants..but if the hamster on a toadstool or mushroom is the cutest..

Amy definitely had the best! That light up one is SO cute! Phil, however, won the strangest with those ants!
Phil's ants on food was the strangest but Amy's light up gacha was the best pick. If you had of managed to get the animal statue vomiting gacha Amy that would have gotten the strangest win for me
Omg i love this video! Strangest is the ants. Best is the sumiko light 😁
I'm partial to the hamster on the mushroom.

Amy, yours is the cutest. And Phil`s gachapon for sure is the strangest.
Phil's hamster gachapon is the best because hamsters are superior creatures and i love them with all my heart, I think Phil also wins for strangest because damn, ants on food? heck yes
Best: Amy. Strangest: Phil. Great video and Phil defiantly was not late.
Best: Amy won this round with her light up Gurashi. Strangest: Phil won easily with his Homer Simpson Doughnut and ants
Wow, that was actually exciting to watch! Good idea! My vote: Best: Amy's Strangest: Phil's
Eh, you are back in Japan? So nice to see you again!

Wow. Hard to keep track of your travel schedule. Yes, can't wait your new vids. Best!
I’m going to say Strangest-Phil and best- Amy. (That hamster on a mushroom is seriously cute though 😍)
Weirdest were from Phil and the best were from Amy. I would love some more videos containing this challenge!!! Thank you for this entertaining video.
The strangest one is the donut with ants! 🐜 It cracks me up! The best one may be the Sumikko gurashi one just because all those characters are adorable. It lighting up doesn't hurt either!
The melting turtle was the strangest and the hamster on the mushroom was the best.
strangest - melting turtle, best - sumikko gurashi!
Best: amy summiko gurashi. Love them. Strangest : phil ants on food. I wouldnt put the ants on. Too weird. Loving the vlogs 😁😁
Amy on both! Love the turtle
Best: Amy Strangest: Phil Great video!!
I think the best was the light up one and the strangest was the ants on the doughnut 😂
Hi Amy I’m going paris Disney land in August . Hopefully give me good practice to travel on my own to japan in future.
Best=Amy. Strangest=Phil

Amy you won the best with the light up one. Phil won weirdest with ants on food. Great idea btw.
Strangest was definitely Phil, but Amy’s light was so cool!! Strangest: Phil Best: Amy
Best - Amy Strangest - Phil Thank you for the great videos I am really enjoying them :-)
Strangest: melting turtle (an animal standing in his own melted skin is a little disturbing) Best: light up dino This was a very good video, great idea!! More challenges please :D
Best, I think has to be the light up one. Best bang for your buck and it's so cute! The ant's with the doughnut, have to take the cake (heh) with the strangest. I do think the melted turtle is just cool and kinda trippy! Though the ants on the food are just, "Whaaaaaa?"
Best is definitely Amy's. Sorry Phil! But Phil's is the strangest, I can see that perplexing people lol.
BEST: Amy 100% Practical And Cute STRANGEST: Phil 100% Food With Flies! Need I Say More ... Loving These Japan Videos Guys 😍😍😍
Strangest: Donut with the ants Cutest: Hamster on mushroom
Japan is great BECAUSE it's strange and cute. Only adds to it's unique-ness. So glad I am going later this year, FINALLY! As for the winners... Phil's hamster-shroom was pretty cute, but I think Amy's Dino-light was adorable and it changes colours. Phill's donut ant combo was interesting, but I felt like it wasn't that "strange". Amy's melting turtle is pretty bizarre, after all, it's a melting turtle vs a food item with ants on it. If there was more time and maybe Phil read Japanese, etc. Then he could have won!
Great video , we have not been on KZread be for a while as wife’s business has been mega busy and it’s only her second year so very happy lol I hope your well and I’m back subscribed to everyone again cheers , I seen a gachapon today of animals going to the toilet and I’m serious not joking 🙃, cheers great video

Thanks! And congratulations to your wife, I'm glad it's going well! I'll have to look out for that gachapon - I've been keeping a list of ones I spot, for my next gacha video!
I'm entering with my 8yo daughter (who LOVES your videos, we watch the new ones every week!) - she thought Amy had the strangest and the best gachapon :)
Ahh this was such a cute game. For some reason I totally thought you guys had an hour and I was shocked at how stressed you were LOL 20 minutes to run around in Tokyo isn’t easy . Anywho I would say Strangest: Amy Best: Phil :)
Best: Amy. Strangest: Phil. It was really really really hard for me! XD
Best is Amy's :) Useful and cute! It's also more interesting and fun to have. Strangest is Phil lol its just so random. Like just half eaten food with ants, like whut? XD
Amy picked best and Phil picked strangest. The fact the ants are separate make it so much weirder!!
So fun! BEST: Tokage (I'll always go with Sumikko Guarashi!) STRANGE: Melting turtle Amy for the win!
Best: Amy Strangest: Phil (I really love this one though)
Best: Tokage light :D Strangest: Donut with ants xD
Best = Amy Strangest= Phil
Best: light up Sumikko Gurashi Strangest: ants on food This video was so much fun ^_^
Best: Phil Strangest: Amy
The best was the light up Sumikko Gurashi and the strangest was the melting turtle.
Strangest: Phil/Ants on doughnut Best: Amy/Light up creature The hamster on the mushroom was almost best, just because of how cute it was!!
How old were you when you first visited tokyo btw i love your videos
