I'm a Hello Kitty fan way back from the 80's so I'd have to see her and her friends! Those little plushes in Halloween kawaii dresses are perfect!!! 😭😭 Great timing on the video release too- have a tummy bug kiddo at home today and appreciate the distraction!

I love those airy soft cakes you can get in Japan and Korea. They're not too filling or sweet. I'm really lucky a Korean bakery opened up near me❤

That pumpkin/cheese/caramel cream Snoopy cake tasted to me like a very airy carrot cake, but made with pumpkin instead? I loved it so much! Also the Peanuts Halloween merch is so adorable, and the glow-in-the-dark aspect is such a nice bonus!

I can’t get over how much food you are able to try without feeling sick. I’m in Scotland and as a child I suffered with ear infections regularly, I was given penicillin that was banana flavoured, and bright yellow.

He probably shares it with the person holding the camera, portions seem kinda small on a lot of the actual meals so splitting it and walking all day probably isn't that bad.
Ok, last year I confused Elmo with Telly 😂 so I’ve got my glasses on this time! Everything Snoopy and Gang was absolutely adorable, I’d want to try all the foods and the merch was fantastic

Obsessed with skelly Snoopy. And Sanrio characters never fail. That adorable pillow!
I wish they had charmander for sure but meet and greet with Genga and pichachu would be really cool, they are so cute😍
I can't wait to share this video with my mom. She loves Peanuts and Minions, so your Universal videos are her faves :) I'd love it if they had Pumpkaboo and Sinistea/Polteageist. Of the ones at the park, would love to meet Mimikyu

I love ghost types so much 😭 I went to Japan once during Halloween season and it was the best time I've been to Japan (I had gone previously a few times but Halloween is my fave holiday so it was extra fantastic to be there during my fave time of year) I need to see the sanrio Halloween and the pokemon Halloween in person. It'll be a goal for me so I might suggest going during October with my friend next year 😂
I absolutely loved this video! Seeing Hello Kitty and Dear Daniel in their Halloween outfits made me so happy! All of the cute merch and food looked amazing, I would love to visit for the family friendly Halloween days!
I love seeing your reactions to Dear Daniel. His costume looks great. Can't wait to experience Halloween Horror Nights and Jujutsu Kaisen at USJ on October 4th and 5th.

yo i would CRY if i got to go to this. out of happiness, of course.
We need a pokemon section at universal!
I wish this video was out before we went, as you said they have a lot there. We were at the park all day and I think we missed so much! We had to start our day in Mario World though, so that takes a huge chunk of time. I really loved the Snoopy stuff, especially little Woodstock looking like Cubone and I totally missed that design on the hand towels or else I would have bought them. But yeah just a lot going on, it was such a fun day though.
Oh I wanna meet dj gengar so bad!! He looks so squishy and adorable! He's one of my favorite pokemon 💖
I look forward to your recaps of the Peanuts merch from Universal Osaka every year. Thanks for doing these videos!
Oh my, the halloween themed Pokemons were so cute! Wish I am in Osaka now to revisit USJ again 😂

I did not check how long this video would be when I clicked on it and started watching and was surprised I've been watching for more than 40 minutes when i finally checked lol. The character mascots are so cute!!!! I love their costumes! All of the food looked delicious, too (I love Kuromi but after hearing you say that the My Melody churro tasted better, I'd have probably chosen that one). Watching you show off the food made me hungry and crave for something sweet. I wish I could go to Japan to experience all those stuff. Looks like fun and everything was so cute!
The snoopy merch is so cute 😭

Really like those minion merchandise... I really hope when I'm going to japan this mid november, they are still in there😊
Awesome! Does Universal Studio Japan do this family friendly themeing for Halloween every year? Or it just this year?
OMG! Thank You for sharing! I really enjoyed watching you eat and have fun.
😂😂 I completely agree with you about the corn stuff. Made me go, “Thank goodness it’s not just me who has those feelings about corn in certain foods.”
This looks so fun! My son would love the Minions area :)
I want ALL the Peanuts merchandise!!! Snoopy is so cute in his skeleton costume!!! ❤❤❤
Love watching your videos!! Feels like I'm at the park for free lol ❤ can't wait to see the Japan and Singapore horror nights 🎉
Universal Japan has way cuter halloween merch like the Minions and Snoopy than UO! UO needs to bring some of that merch here haha! And don't get me started on Pokémon ❤
Literally feel like a kid a Christmas right now. So excited one more week to go and I finally fly out for my first ever trip to Japan 🇯🇵 flying out from my home country the U.K 🇬🇧 So excited!!!!!!

Yessss! Have a wonderful time. I did notice that they seem to have same-day tickets for the ONE PIECE Premier Show everyday you can buy inside the park (if that interests you cause buying tickets online is hard from overseas).
Definitely want to meet Gengar and Mimikyu. I had my plushies of them with me. We all watched your video together. 💜

Ohhh thank you. I feel so left out as an adult with responsibility that prevents me from getting to experience things first hand and this really helps me feel like I get the experience
I never knew how much I needed DJ Gengar to exist until now.
Was there yesterday.. didn’t even think to check it out. Hope the food was good. Ended up eating at toads cafe . Food was great Mario burger my fav. And the chocolate churros with raspberry sauce and candies was amazing

Pikachu was my childhood best friend. (ik that sounds really sad) but I´d love to say hi to my bestie, the show was adorable, and the face towel. I'd love that for myself.
Fun fact: During the segment you explain the trick or treat part in the park, it seems like a castmember is just doing it in the background! Maybe take a look once more at that part, maybe it could be something worth showing off? :)
I know you usually post a link to buy Japanese Disney items, but do you know of a website that would sell Japanese Universal items too? 🤩

USJ has an online store but they only ship within Japan so you'll need a proxy service (I've never used one so I don't have any recommendations). The selection online is limited. www.onlinestore.usj.co.jp/

Looking at your videos really makes me miss Japan. Seeing USJ again brings back so much memories (even though I've only been there once). Really enjoy your videos, including the recent series for the Halloween Horrors. Makes me look forward to the one we're having here in Singapore as well. Not to mention, looking forward to attending Halloween Horrors in other Universal Studios in the future as well. Hope to bump into you when you're here in Singapore for USS HHN11!

We will be visiting the park again on the 8th and 9th of Nov , do you know if any of the pokemon will still be around after the Halloween theme ends ?
I have a question. Can you navigate the park without the app? I'll be visiting next March and was going to forgo the net for two weeks (sorta detox during my vacation). Will it be an issue?
