Welcome to my channel! I’m an ordinary Japanese salaryman working two jobs with zero days off.
Today, I took a small break from reality to visit the “Retro Expo 2026” at a department store in Osaka.

  1. Motoya, we're så proud of you. Every new video your English has improved which shows you're studying as well. You're videos are getting more and more interesting. I think you've found your niche🎉😊 Well done.

  2. Motoya thank you for the enjoyable video. It is always nice to connect memories of the past with actual physical pieces. Keep up the hard work!

  3. Your Pikachu shirt is now your lucky shirt! I love retro items. We have many antique stores where I live and often go even just to look.

  4. Hi Motoya! I really enjoyed this segment as I can relate to it quite well!. I sell on Ebay and have for more than 20 years. I do sell many items from 30-40 years ago as well as many older items from the late 1800's to the early 1900's. I recognized many items you showed. Some very creative uses such as old button accessories!

  5. That was so fun looking at all the vintage items. I could spend hours look at those kind of items, I always look forward to see whats on you menu for the day.😊

  6. What a wonderful trip! I actually remember when Batman Forever came out (I was 15). Some of those toys were awesome, like the Sweetums monster figure and the Wendy witch from Casper and Wendy. So many awesome memories brought up by this video. Thank you for sharing with us.❤

  7. Thank you Motoya…another fantastic video. It's great seeing Japan and it's culture through your eyes. I have alot of VHS videos from my parents. They bought alot of Disney ones for my son, there was also a Spice Girls one as well.
    Take care lovely ❤❤

  8. Oh my! What a great video. I loved seeing all the retro items. Your videos are getting very interesting. I love seeing how beautiful Japan is. Thank you 😊

  9. Hi Motoya. Great you've set a goal for becoming a full time content creator. Your good at it and you control your own schedule. It also opens you to show us more of Japan. Do you have a visitors center near you? You should contact them and let them know your a content creator and see if you can collaborate. They may sponsor your vlogs and even cover hotel stays if you film and feature the areas. It's free advertisement to promote tourism. Neat seeing all the retro items. I remember growing up with some of them so I think some are from the 70's and 80's.

  10. Dear young man, you need to learn this phrase to say to those cute friendly staff girls: Denwa bangou o oshiete kudasai" (電話番号を教えてください

  11. 👋🏽 you should definitely go back to that shop😊 and the meal you made for yourself was my favorite today I love soup❤

  12. We have many of the same retro items here in Canada. Especially the glasses. I'm sure I've seen all of them. However they are from my childhood. Guess I'm an oldie but a goody

  13. To make a good minestrone, you need to add some Italian herbs. Herbs like oregano, and basil are good.. also minestrone often has a handful of small pasta cooked in the broth, which is very nice.

  14. I love the exhibition i would love to have bought some of the ear rings but I'm a bit far away in Australia. I think it's great you are getting out and about with these interviews. You might meet a girlfriend 🤔 ❤
    Where do you put all the cards you are opening ??

  15. You know, now that I see you talking with vendors, you could ask them: If somebody comes to my channel because they saw what you do, could you offer them a special discount? And who knows, you might bring clients to them and more viewers to your channel! It's a win win situation! The same you could do with the cafes, and restaurants that you visit. It's free publicity for them and who knows, you can even meet people that maybe are nearby and you don't even know it, that might be watching your channel! You could even make reviews for the restaurants, that will bring many people to your channel. At least I see that those that review restaurants get a good amount of people that want to know more about them! Thank you for letting me know that the Earthquake didn't made any impact in the places you are living, working, etc. I saw a very quick segment of news that said earthquake japan, risk of tsunami and just came to send you a message…didn't see the full news!…thank you for the lesson and this new video! I saw a Mario there 🙂 and a monkey from the Planet of the Apes 🙂 I will watch this video again because I was cooking when watching and for sure I missed a lot! I will make a comment later if I feel I need to, after I watch the video again! Blessings and thank you! June 6th, 1995 Batman Forever Movie with Nicole Kidman, old magazine! nice! You talking with the lady there about the earrings and me listening to the Beatles, Eleonor Rigby! :)…Ahhh Costa Rica!!!!! you must learn about that country because it's a very special one! They have all kinds of animals that you might not find anywhere else! Look for a movie called The Blue Butterfly…the story of a sick kid…it's a true story and so beautiful! Costa Rica doesn't have an army, they don't need it! Its a very peeaceful place…and they speak Spanish but you will find people from around the world there! When the times of the Covid, a man that had a restaurant here in Canada, decided to sell everything and went to live there with his family. I believe he has an Airbnb and 2 restaurants by now! They have rainforest and the most beautiful sea to enjoy and swim! For sure if you go you will love it! It could be worth it to go and meet that man that the lady told you about. He might tell you more about his country. Congratulations on your cards! so many rare ones! A very nice Expo! they had very nice things in there! went back in time with some of them! Again thank you and until your next video! I hyped it already 🙂 I was able to do it with my Tablet meanwhile I was cooking… I can't do it with my computer…

  16. Fun video. I loved the retro toys and tchotchkes. I definitely would have picked up a few items had I been there, especially the Ultraman Toys and Planet of the Apes nostalgia items. Also, kudos for being the only person I've ever seen eating minestrone soup with hashi!

  17. Thank you for sharing that event with us! It was so neat to see things I recognized too! I saw a Tony the Tiger figurine and I'm pretty sure I had one very similar as a kid! My grandfather worked at Kellogg's for many years and we always had so many toys from the cereal boxes! So nostalgic! The people you interviewed were so nice and the earrings from buttons were so beautiful! The lady who spoke English did a great job and looked very cool! Her clothes were so fun! I'm always so happy to see your videos come out and I always watch them relaxing with my dogs. Thank you again and keep doing the hard work! 🌸

  18. It's an expo I'd love to check out! Thanks for sharing! You're doing great! I tried the tororo once however I wasn't used to the texture so I didn't touch much of it. Looking forward to your next update!

  19. Another great Vodeo! I am so glad you have a membership to sign up for now!!!! Good deal! I'll be signing up very soon! Everyone get the membership to support our Japaneae Friend MotoyaSan! Good job, friend!!!

  20. You are very brave eating your nightly meal with a white shirt ❤ I would inevitably end up splashing it on myself and staining it. 😂 Thank you for sharing. The market was interesting. Big ups from Ipswich Queensland.

  21. レトロエキスポ最高でした!😍 子供の頃の思い出が次々と蘇ってきました。懐かしいものがたくさんあって、中には見覚えのあるものもありました。でも、当時はあんなにカラフルな服はあまり好きじゃなかったんですよね。🤣

    「あれは何?」って聞きましたよね?

    カセットテープだったと思います。

    素敵な展示がたくさんあって、行って本当に良かったです!ありがとう!👍

    そのピカチュウのTシャツはあなたのラッキーアイテムですか?わあ、今日はスペシャルカードを4枚もゲットしたんですね!😊

    ドイツからご挨拶!👋

  22. Thank you for the vids Motoya it must be long hours and hard work but the effort is well worth it ❤ ps I hope you at least got Nihons card or email🤔 😊 ✌️🇨🇦😎
