(mellow music) Yo guys, I'm only living off of vending machines today. In Tokyo. You think I'm gonna die or nah? It's nine a.m. I just left my capsule hotel in Shinjuku. And I'm walking around to try to find this first vending machine. And I'm seeing that this is gonna be a lot more difficult than I thought it was gonna be. Every vending machine I've seen so far only has drinks in it. And it's making me nervous 'cause I feel like I'm not gonna be able to find any, any hot food vending machines. Like apparently they're a lot more scarce now than they were back in the day. Now mostly it's just soft drinks and tea and coffee. So I have to figure out how I'm gonna do this, but, we're gonna make it happen, somehow. And I mean almost right on cue, we found a bunch of stuff in here. A bunch of vending machines. But like I said, they are all drinks. I'll grab a coffee and we'll leave it at that. So this is 100 yen. 100 yen. Put that in through there. And let's grab that. Oh. Nice. Ooh. It's actually pretty good. The worst part is as I'm walking through trying to find some food, I'm passing by all of these food places like, oh my god, there's food everywhere. Like I could literally eat anywhere. But I'm still trying to find some stuff from some vending machines like. This is torture so check this out, same street. (upbeat music) They got beans in there. Oh look at this, look at this. Aw man, I might fail. It's been at least like an hour and a half, two hours. I have yet to find some food I can actually eat. See this starting to get real, I can't even lie. It's actually really bright out here right now, like the sun is out. But the weather says it's gonna rain so, I'm very concerned that I don't have an umbrella. So I still have to go find that. It's no food, I don't know what to do. I don't wanna die today. I cracked. I went over to a spot where I knew was like, so many vending machines. And the only thing I'm gonna be able to do right now is just grab some of this soup. I know this is corn, but I don't know what that is. And that's what I want. So that's 130 yen, and I think I'm just gonna like bite the bullet and grab it. Just like to have something in my body 'cause it's one o'clock and I haven't eaten anything. I just been drinking water and coffee and caffeine drinks. Let's just do it, let's just see how it is. Oh. Actually this smells good. It's a couple chunks of something in here, so like, I don't think it's meat, it's probably just onions. But at least I'm getting some type of nutrients, I'm getting something. All right I was right, it was a bunch of onions in there like all at the bottom, so I should've shook it. I guarantee that was a like an instruction on there like, shake well before using, but, I didn't know. Ayaka's gonna be joining me. With some vending machine food. - I'm trying to get uh, oh no! It's sold out. No! No, what should I get then? - Aw man. That sucks. - Shrimp soup? - Wait, shrimp? - Shrimp soup. - [Q] Yeah. All right, let's see. - Okay, I gotta shake it. - [Q] Oh my god, that's what I didn't do earlier! I didn't shake my thing and it was all at the bottom. - That's what it says. That's what it says. - [Q] This is so funny, where does it say that? - [Ayaka] Yep, right here. (speaks in foreign language) Ah, that's right, you don't speak Japanese! - That is good. - So good, right? - Yeah. So good. - Wait, so like, why can't I find any food, I need some hot food. Where's the hot food? - So the hot food, like in the vending machine, it's going to be Akihabara. It's like sort of a nerdy city. The reason is why that nobody has to stop, that's why. Nerdy people in Japan, don't want to come in and get it. So they want to just push it, and they have a lunch, you know? - Sounds like me. It's getting kind of late, I still haven't had like a solid, hot meal. I'm gonna head over to Akihabara right now. All right I jumped off the train in Akihabara. Looking for these sketchy vending machines. Kinda sucks that I feel like I'm 'bout to be lost looking for 'em like, every video I ever seen. Everybody's lost trying to find them. And here I am, same predicament. All right, so this is not what I was looking for, but, I guess this is the canned oden vending machine. So that'll work. Trying to see. I got a feeling it's nasty, but, I'm do it anyway. It feels good to finally have some hot food. This is the canned oden. Gonna see what it stands for. I have no idea what's in here, I probably should've looked that up. Whoa. Okay. Ooh. At this point, it's about survival. I can't be choosy. I wish I knew what I was eating, this is horrible actually. What if I was allergic to something? My game plan now is just to eat and ask questions later. Legit, what the hell is this? (gasps) Oh my (bleep) goodness. I just seen the biggest rat. It's time to go. Oh gosh. All right it's time to try this. I haven't heard good things. Oh. Oh. Oh no. Okay. Oh. This is actually pretty good. What? So this drink is pretty tasty. Like once it's in your mouth. But I truly see the dilemma because once you put it up here, like when it get to your nose and you gotta be smelling and trying to sip, it get real tricky. 'Cause that (bleep) stank. I see this sketchy ass place. And I will agree it looks super sketchy. (laughs) But I mean can't be as sketchy as walking down Hollywood Boulevard, so. Let's get on up in here. We up in the hot spot. It is definitely creepy in here. This is when it gets a little (bleep) sketchy. This is weird. It's like several crevices, like. You gotta slide through here. Damn. This is, don't tell me I came all of this way, in this sketchy area in the dark, just to get some food, to find they ain't even got no candy, they ain't got no chips, oh, they got chips. Oh they got chips. Actually, now that I mention, they definitely have some chips, I'm gonna grab some of those. It's all good, I'ma grab something. That's Himalayan salt, I'm 'bout to get those. Even though, I mean truthfully, that ain't 'bout to help me survive. But I think it's cool and it'll be an interesting story. For my kids. I feel like I just ordered this off the black market, yo, this is what this feels like. This is the black market in real life. But there's no hot food, so it's just like, what am I doing. I'm literally wasting money. Oh. I seen these before. I did a video U.S. versus Japan snacks. And this was one of the snacks. And I'ma get some popcorn if the machine work. Just 'cause I wanna see how it work. Ooh, okay. The popcorn machine. Oh, you hear it. All right, now we're gonna go back in. Okay. Whoa. This must be for ya boy. I'm being completely honest when I tell you this, this popcorn tastes great. I'm actually surviving off of vending machine food in Tokyo, (laughs). I thought I was gonna die earlier today. Like I legit was like yo, you might die bro. It's time to do something for the internet. But now look at me, thriving. Of course I make it here after it's not raining anymore. But since I'm here, I guess I'll grab one for a souvenir. All right, so I'm looking for the last vending machine stop with all the hot food and I can't find it. Like I'm in the right area. This is literally the end, this is like where it's supposed to be like, "Oh you did it." Like this is the spot where you finally get your hot food. And I cannot find it. All right so found the area. It's hella vending machines over here. Like mad vending machines. Look at all these damn drinks, nobody want no more drinks. I just need one with some hot food, that's it. Oh. (emotional piano music) This can't be happening right now. This can't, this can't be happening right now. Oh my god. Yo. This has to be a joke, whoa. Whoa. Whoa. I've traveled long and far just to get a piece of this machine. I don't even know what this say, but it probably says you, leave. Look at all these options. - [Man] I'm gonna have some chicken. - [Q] Could've got a hot dog. Another hot dog. Some fries. This a wrap. I don't think I've ever been more disappointed before in my life, like. I feel like this is easily the worst way to end this video. Or maybe the best for y'all, but for me, this is the worst way to end this day. Oh my god, I can't believe this, like. A part of me just wanna like rip this off, just to see if it really don't work. I guess the next best thing is just to get some ice cream and call it a day. Wow. I'm hurt. My feelings is hurt, hurt. I'm not crying, I'm not. For real I'm not. We did it, I got some strawberry ice cream. I got a nice umbrella. Had a good time, made some new friends, not really. But it was all good. On the bright side it's raining now. So I get to use my new umbrella. (laughs) That makes me very happy, so. Was everything perfect? No, of course not. But it's a pretty nice ending. I'm not mad. (upbeat music)
