@@kristopherwillis8075 yeah. They bought a house and right when 45 got elected they decided to move out because they felt like they didn’t belong anymore. I can understand. I’m moving out of Florida next month for the same reasons. I can’t live in a hateful ignorant place.

Can’t wait for the episode where y’all show everything you two got while in Japan!

They have moved the store, but only to the «mall» next door. The new adress is Surugaya Umedachayamachi, on the 7th floor.

The high scores are the year and month of game releases featuring Mario. 198107 was Donkey Kong 200711 was Super Mario Galaxy

Watching your journey with anxiety is so inspiring and I'm so proud of you and Kim! Keep up the amazing work! Don't know what I would do without your content!

Guys the sponsor wasn’t real 😂 lol it was a joke

The new Japan Trilogy vlog is complete! Great videos, Wood and friends!

“my heart is full” is perfect for your reaction at the end of the vlog. I am so happy for you and Kim. You can tell that you guys needed this trip.

I teared up at the end hearing you talk about conquering your anxiety with this trip. I did a similar thing on a much smaller scale this summer. I took a short solo flight to see a friend and was so proud of myself. There's nothing like showing anxiety it doesn't get to control you anymore. So happy for you! 😭🥺

Best of luck on your travels! I was so close to visiting Japan at one point myself. I had experience with modeling and in late 2015 I was in contact with Capcom about the facial likeness role of Leon for the Resident Evil 2 Remake. I failed to mention I also have a voice acting background, in the end I lost the part and I can't forgive myself for wasting such an opportunity. That would've been a real dream come true to visit South East Asia.

@@Turtle20305 Hi, thanks!

Tbh, I'm glad you did this! You and Kim deserved this trip after *looks at history*, after everything that has happened. Plus, you got to do it with friends who are big gaming nerds like you and Kim. All in all, you had fun and you got to grab some stuff you never thought you'd grab (plus, super jealous on some of the games as that's expensive here in the US.) I honestly would suggest the next time you do a trip to Japan, plan another visit to Super Nintendo World (when the Donkey Kong expansion opens), visit some more gaming shops (shopping is good for you btw), see some of the more obscure museums/exhibits devoted to some stuff like Nippon Cup Noodles, Osamu Tezuka's works, etc. OH! And the ghibli park (the actual outdoor park that you can walk around, not to be confused with the Ghibli Museum)

Watching this was really cool. I can tell that you and Kim really needed an experience like this right now and it turned out to be even better than what you expected. Cheers Wood ✌🏽.

Wood, these vlogs were so awesome to see. Thank you for sharing with us and I am so glad you and Kim were able to go and have a wonderful time and get past the anxiety! Japan seems like such an awesome place to visit and everyone always says how much they enjoy it.

Haven't been to Japan since 2018 and these vlogs have been making me miss it more and more. Good luck with the post-japan trip depression when you get back home. I'm glad your journey there was also healing for you like it was for me back then. Such a beautiful country.

Your vlogs are unmatched. Not too overwhelming and just a relaxing experience

Oh man, when I watched the end part of the video and how you mentioned your personal battle with anxiety - it made my heart swell for you seeing you go all the way to Japan and having the time of your life with Kim and the rest of your friends. The production value for all three parts are awesome! Day 3 definitely topped it with visiting Super Nintendo World and finding that one shop that had a lot of really great affordable items to splurge on. Looking forward to the next trip already!

One of my favorite Japan trip vlog series I've watched! So inspiring!

In case someone is wanting to go to these locations, the first store is EDION, not ED ON. The most "Best Buy" of all the Japanese electronic stores.

Wood, seriously. Thank you so much for bringing us along with these Japan trips! You could just go and enjoy yourself, but you don't. You lug all of your gear around to film and show us all the amazing places you go and all the things to see. This has by far been my favourite part of your channel. So once again, thank you ❤

I love your Japan vlogs! i'll finally be going next year and i'll be using your vlogs as a guide 😊

Watching all three videos of your trip to Japan and seeing you all so happy as you explore and have fun, is truly a joy to see. I found myself smiling at you all thru out the video and I'm so glad that you found so many shops and make the most of your time there. Thank you for sharing this with us and I'm so happy that you all had fun!

Thank you so much for sharing this trip to Japan with all of us!

Great vlogs, Wood! So glad you got to have this wonderful experience with Kim and your friends! Thanks for sharing it with us.

I really enjoyed watching these vlogs. It felt like I was walking around with you guys. Thanks for the ride! It was lovely! I was a bit concerned about how you and Kim were dealing with the anxiety there, coz I've been to Japan and it can get quite overwhelming there, specially at video game stores.. so many lights blinking, so much noise.. it can be a lot.. at the same side, there's also these beautiful parks in the middle of the city were you can just go in and recenter. You are both amazing for doing it. Be very proud! It was hard and you did it!!

I so loved this series of videos, Japan is my no.1 dream destination and until I get to go, watching these keeps me going. Superb, thank you Wood!!!

Man I LOVED Lost Kingdoms!! I never see anybody talk about it but it was one of my absolute favourites from that era too! What a wild find.

This is such incredible quality and can I just say I freaking loved that sponsored ad how you filmed and edited that haha! I’m such a fan of this channel 💜

Yooo, another BeatEmUps video!

Not gonna lie this makes me want to work on my anxiety and depression to make a japan trip because I really want to go and I don’t want to be held back anymore. Wish me the luck

Yes. This really makes me want to go to Japan

Thank you so much Wood! You make awesome content and to hear that this trip was therapeutic for both you and Kim is awesome!

When is Kim's video I know my niece will love seeing all the critters she got?

Around 4:40 is a made in abyss game! It’s a popular anime, super cool art

In the words of George McFly “If you put your mind to it you can accomplish anything” but seriously well done to you Wood and Kim for doing the trip it shows that you both have come so far 👍🏼

Incase you’re wondering, the game you picked up at 4:28 is called “Made in Abyss” which is also a great anime to check out

Thanks for sharing glimpses of these fun adventures that many will/would never get to experience on their own.

I can usually skip every second BeatemUps video, but this series I can't get enough of. Thank you.

I been followings this channel for a while, and not sure if you remember but i bumped into you at the Tokyo Nintendo store. You were super nice and took a picture with me, I just want to say i really appreciated it and glad you had a great trip.

I love these videos!!! And I love my new oled! Keep up the great content!

Incredibly envious of your friend group and travels. Great finds! Super glad that your trip was a success

Awesome vlog video Wood! Not to sound like a know it all but that first game you picked up is called “Made in Abyss: Binary Star into darkness”. There’s 2 modes where you can play the anime story and then there’s one where you make a character in that world. Haven’t played it yet but just wanted to let you know what the game is. Also I noticed my favorite FF game is background briefly! Hope you and Kim had a wonderful trip!

If anyone wonders: The last Surugaya in the Video is the one in Umeda Loft. I visited all in Nihombashi before I found this one.

I have loved these Japan vlogs!!! so glad you went and had a good time :)

I stopped collecting and sold the collection due to life changes. I still have most of my handhelds..BUT DANG WOOD. Watching this particular episode in the series makes me want to do this again and the urge to travel to Japan is even worse. With three kids under 4, it will be some time but just wanted to say THANK YOU. Thank you for bringing us with you. Thank you for always being humble and thank you for being real. You should be proud of yourself battling the anxiety head on and overcoming it despite some of the road bumps in the trip...especially on the flight home. Keep this content coming! Love it.

More videos like these please. This is probably the best video series you have done so far. Keep it up.

I can’t wait to visit Japan. I’m saving these videos to visit all the great locations you guys did. Thanks !!

I love seeing another Japan vlog series. It's a nice comfort video to play, even if I know all of what you got. Just a lot of fun.

9:20 You break it, you buy it.

Thank you for these vids wood they’ve been so wonderful to watch. Glad you all had a safe and great trip and thank you for sharing some of it with us.

That’s so awesome , thanks for sharing your experiences with us ! Glad you had a good trip and everything went smoothly 🤘

I was waiting for this video!! 🇯🇵🌸🙌

This is awesome!

Kyoto’s Pokemon center was my favorite! I’m so glad ya’ll made it over there🥰

I've loved watching all this looks so beautiful. And I love it all the more because it's not a bunch of influencers wanting to flex like this is normal whatever meh. I like seeing the real relatable person Wood talking about the stuff he faces. So that's awesome to see the story of a guy who worked hard, doing something he loves. That becoming his career allowing him to be with the woman he married has a home, nice animals. And gets to do something this insanely cool with his friends. It's honestly inspiring for someone like me that's wanted to hopefully one day obtain something like this.

I have never been so jealous of someone in my entire life.I want to do exactly what you did.Go to Japan and be wowed constantly.I have been struggling with the Rokid smart glasses this week.That is where my focus has been.Zero customer service as usual.XReal Viture Rokid Asus Rog Ally Ayaneo all have zero customer service.I am glad you got back safe.That one of a kind Switch was really nice.

Next time you're near Osaka you should absolutely go to Dragon Quest Island! It's somewhat similar to super nintendo world in that you get an interactive experience and have to fight monsters in a dragon quest style theme park.

That switch game you pointed to near the start what was sold out is called Made in Abyss: Binary Star Falling into Dark. Hope that helps! Btw, it's a great anime which I highly recommend! Thanks for another great vlog in Japan!!

Seeing Wood mention Yo-kai Watch like 50 times was awesome to see... I hope the series comes back so bad

Kudos to pushing through 💪🏻 and absolutely loved the videos, has me contemplating going to Japan 😂😅

I love watching your Japan vlogs with my son . ✌🏾

That game that was sold out is called Made in Abyss. I actually have an English copy

please do a pickup video of everything you bought

10:45 When you watch BeatEmUps and suddenly Abroad in Japan screams into your face yes I know it's from the public use library

Long time fan, hands down...really, hands down best episode. I enjoyed the pure happiness in your face. Good for you for making this happen for you and your loved ones. Keep it up. We love you.

Seeing Gotcha Force was so nostalgic for me. What a cool find

omg thank you man i really enjoyed the vlogs i want to go to japan myself but i can not so watching your vlog/videos makes me happy. thank you so much and i am glad you are both doing better with the anxiety i just want you both to know we are here for you you and kim are amazing take care 😄

@4:26 Made In Abyss. AMAZING anime. highly recommend.

The game that was sold out was from the "Made in Abyss" series. It has an anime and was adapted to a game. Covers the animes story and some extra story stuff too I think?

Well done, good content !! Thank you. Please tell us if those games on the last shop are working. It was the cherry on top. 😊

I don't even own a switch anymore but I love watching your content you are a amazing KZreadr very entertaining

Loved these vlogs... really relaxing ❤

I just came back to watch this video after skipping it for a long time and seeing him talking to him self makes me rethink his level of sanity. 3:49

This trip seemed so healing for you wood! Glad you feel better 😊 I'm going to japan next year! Hope I can make it to the spot you went to

Dealing with anxiety is a huge issue for me so I totally can relate in some similar ways

Kim looks amazing with short hair. Really compliments her face. Cool video. You should meet up with the Metal Jesus. He's there too

This series is how I discovered you. I am so happy to be here. Great channel and what a great trip! Cheers!

These videos were super cool. Thanks for taking us along for the ride!

I love you and Kim so much. I am so happy that you both could conquer your fears and I hope you will keep going on that road! Love from Hungary!

the pokemon ad you shot was pretty sweet, the lighting and timing with dialog was on point

23:35 when i got a scarlet and violet oled, this is what it should've been, with the game in the box

This is SO FREAKING COOL! I'm writing down all these places you're going 'cause I wanna go, too! lol. Thank you SO MUCH for this! These vlogs are SO awesome! SO happy you had such a fun time!

I love the news cast part. Weather girl Kim? Only tried lost kingdom 1, but I really loved the creature art and card collect, remember the long necked norwegian myth creature with one eye. And the four mythic animals :D

There was a Surugaya a few blocks from my apartment in Sapporo when I was living there, and I got so many goodies from there! The prices were better than my local bookoff and they had so much rare stuff - we got our gamecube and n64 from there too!

Loved all 3 of these videos I wish I could afford a trip like this truly amazing

what an amazing trip grats on the pickups btw video rocked

The editing is on firrrrreeeeee🔥🔥

You should do a video of all the things you got while in Japan

Great series! Thank you

omg I can't believe you went to universal studio for a couple of hours 😮 I spent the whole day at nintendo world, chasing all the stickers in the app and having a blast exploring all the details. this is genius model that will keep you comming back

i hope you recover from anxiety, its a tough battle that keeps me at home evading people and everything. im glad you were able to make it to japan and feel so fullfilled as i wish for myself

Customs: "Anything to declare?" Wood: "No, nothing at all." Customs: "Alright, mind opening this... crate then?"

Cannot agree with you more dude. Trips to Japan make my heart feel full also. So much so that I have genuinely teared up whenever I've had to leave. Trip no.5 is happening for me sometime... no idea when right now... but I know it's happening and I can't wait to recharge my love for the country when I return. Great series and glad you had a wonderful time.

As someone with a lot of mental health issues, I've found travel really really helps my mental state. When I'm away i just don't have the same issues as i do at home, where i spend my life avoiding people. I feel like its a bit of escapism for me and it really helps alot, so you may find the same thing. The real mystery is after travelling as much as i have, why haven't i got to Japan myself? i think i used to think it was expensive.... but its not anymore expensive than other places I've been, the shopping might make it expensive :-) so i think i'll get there next year sometime!

Loved these videos to bits always been something to look forward to each week glad yall had a blast

I love your Japan videos. I found your channel just before your first visit. I vote you make this a yearly series and go every year.

I live in Tokyo. I’m taking a train to Osaka to check out these gaming stores because of you. Thanks for sharing friend 💪🏻

Really enjoyed this series! Thanks Wood!!

*Surugaya is by far the BEST store in JAPAN nowdays!* Even better than BOOK OFF and HARD OFF in my opinion, which used to be cheaper...
