Durant mon voyage de la Martinique au Japon, j’avais pu croiser une équipe de tournage de TV Tokyo qui n’a pas hésité à me suivre quelques jours pendant mon séjour ! Et le résultat est visible dans l’émission YOUは何しに日本へ？du 28 janvier 2020… Dont j’ai mis en ligne un extrait sur la chaîne Youtube d’Otakugame.fr ! Je vous laisse découvrir cela par vous-même, je trouve que les Japonais ont beaucoup d’humour, et ça fait plaisir !
Update 2021-11-12 : Vous voulez rire ? J’ai réuploadé la vidéo, vu qu’elle n’est nulle part sur Youtube, et quelques heures après, j’ai eu un nouveau strike sur cette même vidéo… TV-Tokyo n’est vraiment pas bienveillant à ce niveau. Voici donc la vidéo hébergée sur nos propres serveurs :
Update 2020-01-29 : Oh oh… TV Tokyo took down the video on Youtube. So I reuploaded it on my Cocoscope TV channel, Facebook, Twitter but also the Otakoo’s servers 🙂 ! Feel free to download it ^^ !

Hello ! I was also in Tokyo and I show the TV Tokyo guys at the airport, but I was too shy to talk to them 🙁 !
Hello my friend !
I’m not really shy, and you should not, it’s really fun !
I’m so glad to read articles about my story all around the world. It’s a little strange to have so much attention at one time, but people are really kind with me… It’s cute !
I’m really surprise how much people love that story ^^ ! In fact, I always wanted to go to Japan, because, as many otakus, I liked mangas, animés and video games… So when Shenmue was out, I was playing it almost everyday just to have the feeling to be in Japan !
Years later, SEGA created the Yakuza Serie, at Kamurochô. I played a lot the game, and, one day, someone told me it was a representation of a real district of Tokyo : Kabukichô !
So yeah, I played for more than 10 years (Yakuza was out in 2006 on PS2), I played in Kamurochō, and, for me, it’s an amazing place… With so much light and colors !
But when I arrived in Japan, some people told me that it was not really a place for tourist or foreign people, but I didn’t want to miss that – not after that many years. In fact, I knew nothing about the Yakuzas, except what I saw in the game.
And… Surprise ! Kabukicho was a nice place, with a lot of entertainments, and people who wants to have fun. Yeah, it’s not a common place in Japan, but I was not fealling unsafe. And for the Yakuzas it’s simple : If you’are not seeking them, you will not see them – they are really discrete in fact, and they don’t like to be disturbed or to have trouble on their areas. And it’s better like this, because I didn’t want to meet the Yakuza, I just wanted to see the Yakuza’s district.
See ya !
