Apologies to my British and European fans. Between the "PlayStation TV" first being launched in the UK, and me just being an ignorant American, I totally forgot that both of y'all have different electrical plugs 😂

[アドルフヒトラ]

Denki really brought out the K-On cassette tape and the oshi no o music record it literally cannot get more based than that this is peak kino

[hokagoteatimereviews]

As someone whose entire channel is named after k-on and who reviews iems and other audio stuff. Made me so happy to see that k-on cassette in the walkman. Also so happy to know that you are a k-on fan ken!

Fuwa fuwa time!

The sharp Aquos Crystal actually was out here in the US under the prepaid Boost Mobile carrier

A record player at the beach sounds like hell to me. So much sand

[XLessThanZ]

Sony was so big in all A/V products back before the millennium. I remember wanting that record player which could even play the record while it stood up vertically. We all went to Shirokiya for our overdose of Sony products. Wow, that was a time ago.

K-On, Lucky Star, Haruhi, those were the days

[liverpoodlian]

i was never interested in k-on as a show but i always appreciated how well drawn and near identical the art of the guitars in the show were

[BaxBadger]

My guy, with all due respect. Are you recording footage from an HDV camcorder with composite video?

DV does not work the way you described it. It's a tape, yes, but it is digital video, not analog. You do not need to ingest the footage in real time. I used an HDV camcorder in film school too and you'd just plug it in with FireWire.

Premiere and many other video editing suites have a dedicated ingest tool for among other things, DV video. As I recall it wouldn't be blazing fast or anything like the solid state media of today, but something like 40x realtime I think. You should definitely have a closer look at the DV/HDV format, it's pretty interesting, and I'd love to see the footage you shot in the native resolution of the camcorder! You should only need a FireWire cable to get the footage off it!

5:15 the selfie camera actually advises you to turn your phone upside down when taking photos.

The aquos actually was in the states. I remember my local Walmart had them when I was in middle school.

Last video I watched of Denki, it unintentionally matched well with LTT's video on the Taiwan shopping centre, and both LTT and Denki's video featured a Sound Burger. A device I'd only seen in a Techmoan before now. OH and I think you are supposed to use than puck to keep the LP in place.

I purchased this phone when it came out. It was in a boost mobile store in Chicago. It was a nice phone to show off.

[fabian]

K-ON is one of my all time favorites. I'm tempted to look for that Cd/Cassette combo now haha.

[Preske]

you realize that version of the soundburger is not retro, right? It is from 2023...
It's probably even cheaper new in the US.

[KillafAndrew]

great, I hope more 7:55 "Weeb Hour" stuffs will be featured in the next video (K-ON, great taste dude!) 🤣
I think I'm going to get another retro unlocked flip phone from japan.

[SwipeStoriesOfficial]

damn that camcorder was amazing, you were fanboying over it.

[kingnolan]

DEFINITELY UPGRADE THAT PSX !!!! That would be an awesome series!

[TheBismrk]

Yoo, i have that cassette! My most prized anime weeb possession.
Fun fact: the cassette is a replica of the one they recorded at the end of seasons 2. Some of the short audio sections between tracks can be seen recorded in the show.

That Star Peggio poster at the back tho ☄☄☄
