Video summary

Press to jump

  1. 0:00The challenge sets a budget and calls for five Japanese-market finds from secondhand stores.
  2. 2:08Kino joins the Kawasaki shopping stop, where a stick-shaped Sony Walkman catches the host's attention.
  3. 10:13A Dreamcast-integrated CRT television provides an expensive detour before the bargain shelves.
  4. 14:37The Panasonic Let's note gets a studio inspection, including its circular trackpad and removable battery.
  5. 17:45The Sony Walkman's compact design comes with difficulties transferring music using modern software.
  6. 22:48The fifth purchase is revealed, followed by an RC driving test on the studio table.

Denki sets off from Akihabara with a shopping rule more interesting than simply buying cheap gadgets: find five Japanese-market tech products that weren't sold in the US, using secondhand stores only.

The week's only new upload, "Hunting for USED TECH in Japan", takes him beyond central Tokyo with friend Kino. In Kawasaki, a stick-shaped Sony Walkman catches his eye. In Machida, he buys a lightweight Panasonic Let's note laptop, then explores a Hard-Off and Hobby-Off store whose shelves include a startlingly expensive television with a Dreamcast built into it. That one stays behind. The video includes a sponsored VPN segment.

Back in the studio, the laptop's circular trackpad and removable battery make a persuasive case for unusual older hardware. The green Walkman presents a different bargain: appealing design, awkward music transfers on modern software. A cheap Panasonic camcorder works, but its broken viewfinder and hazy lens make the compromises harder to overlook.

Viewers are discussing the condition of Japanese secondhand electronics, recognizing a shop display from their own travels and recalling stick-style MP3 players they once owned. One remembers inheriting that very Walkman model from their mother.

The outing has reached roughly 92,000 views and is comfortably the channel's busiest video right now. Daily channel views have risen to more than five times their usual pace, although subscribers were unchanged over the week. Older uploads about restoring a PS4 and touring Japan's Extinct Media Museum remain active too, keeping the emphasis on hardware worth another look rather than another launch.

The haul isn't entirely practical. Its final addition is a holoX promotional RC truck, which Denki unboxes and sends speeding around the studio table.

  • Those "stick" style mp3 players were awesome! I had one but broke it. I still miss it.

  • Love this series or at least when you go out looking for specific tech!

  • The sony mp3 was really top tier back in the day, and they weren't that cheap. Quality stuff there.

  • I accidentally stumbled into a BOOKOFF Westminster while I was topping off my Chevy Bolt few years ago. Since then, I’ve bought countless Funkos and Blu-ray/DVDs in the last few years while that mall no longer exists. I can easily kill an hour browsing at my local BOOKOFF in Costa Mesa. Love that store!
