    I used to live in Daikanyama for work ( sneaker designer) in the early 2000's. The amount you see today is still great, but man there was so much more back 15-17 years ago before the internet killed so many of the mom and pop shops, and the prices back then, making me weep. Love the video... but man the first time I went there in 98' the it was just another level of insanity available.

    Ive been shopping with Mandarake online for my SIC Kamen Rider and always wondered what the shop looked like. I gotta say, it looks exactly how I thought it would, spot on! ANd it so true what you said about the tiny blemishes and it being reduced. I sometimes can't even tell the difference which gives more power to the buyer. Mandarake is awesome!

    I just came from japan, and its sad as the gigantic mandarake in akihabara has been wiped of kaiju, the same with jungle. However i was to discover a new mandarake which opened last month also in akhihabara, where all the vintage kaiju have been moved.

    Otaku doesn’t mean geek or nerd. It means obsessed fan who has no social skills and generally lives with their elderly or overly protective parents. So when you call yourself an “Otaku” you’re not saying a good thing. As usual, people from other cultures get the meaning wrong, as wrong as the pronunciations (just as the Japanese do with English). 😅😅😅
