*WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE ITEM? LET ME KNOW BELOW!*

[griffrafff]

It's actually crazy how many cool things people give away/throw out! One persons junk really is another persons treasure

[hbrown]

You’re amazing, Norm! Rebuilding the smallest electronics shop to preserve the owner’s legacy, creating and encouraging giveaways to bring people to Japan who have always wanted to visit, helping local businesses expand their reach through comments on your videos. Plus more I’m sure we’re not even aware of! You’re such a positive force for good in the world!

The amount of anxiety I experienced when you swiped everything on the floor was insane. Also, lightning spood is my new default speed. 😂

[chynanyan]

The pink bubble wrap on that stick of RAM is anti-static packaging! But most of that plastic is kind of a waste... :)

As a professional computer nerd, this was a lot of fun to see, and I'm excited for the shop recreation too! Thanks for sharing your energy.

There are so many interesting items, some are very worth it and some are not really useful. But the best part of these boxes are the excitement you can get as you are unboxing. You can feel some nostalgia too🥰I enjoyed Norm’s reactions and comments a lot! Thank you for another wonderful video!😆✨

[a.nveshh]

man to think that each item holds so many memories like if we were able to hear what these things have to say it would be so beautiful like imagine some used that cd player a long time ago sitting on a window pane looking at the sky and listening to music, I love it.
You are literally doing what I want to do in my life I hope that one day I'll also be able to visit abandoned and beautiful places and I hope that I'll also get a chance to do stuff like caping on a rooftop in the middle of a city

[NavitheNavigator]

Just found your channel and already found many places I want to visit so now I have to adjust my plan for my trip this year

[shannondore]

🤣 You crack me up Norm. The way you just throw things around and push everything off the table... if anything did work, it probably doesnt anymore.😆🤣

[sheepareamyth]

Can't wait to see the recreated shop! its amazing how many amazing things you can find second hand like this. Also as an additional note the edit where it switches to you in the purple hoodie caught my eye and I thoroughly enjoyed it!

[Takoto]

Not exactly the same thing, but I purchased a joblot of junk art supplies in Japan about a year or two ago and most of what arrived was completely unused - there was a set of gansai tambi paint which had been very lightly used, and a tin of fancy pencils that had been used a little bit, but some of the other materials were completely unopened, and all the rest looked like they'd not been used apart from maybe to test the colours/pigments :D

[amuseracing]

Your studio is the stuff dreams are made of, you've blown my mind with the shop corner, genius

[galiane]

These boxes are pretty impressive. That controller at 6:40 is a grip for either a DS or a 3DS, I believe. Pretty handy to avoid cramps when playing long hours on those.
Thanks for this interesting video!

[namele]

i have the red sony walkman mp3 player from the very last box. was an A- series walkman from the early 2010s. i had a line-out cable to a fiio amp. it was my broke-university-student setup for many years.

[confracto]

I'm excited to see all the updates to your studio since we were there. That you're revealing the tiny shop you're rebuilding, that you have more remotes to confuse with Coffee Crisp, and that the Burn Up W record is now on the wall!

[gonzarellious]

Absolutely insane that the first item you take out of the box is the exact model of Belken wireless charger that I have sitting on my bedside table and use every night.

[uberchin]

Love these kinds of videos Norm! It gives me ideas of what to load up my suitcase with next time I visit 🤣

[IdoBerg]

i realy loved the ipad that you found ;o huge find!

[CGermanB]

Thank you for posting the link to the antique shop. I will keep my eye on it, so many goodies!

[whyisthisathingnow...]

This was quite a haul, it's kinda exciting to see what you find in the boxes. 😁
