AISubs v3.7
Be Estelte!
Thank you for having me again this week.
Thank you for having me.
As always, we are in Akihabara.
Akibahara.
Akihabara.
Aki...what?
Why did you say Akibahara?
We are in Akihabara.
Akihabara.
I think we have done a lot of things in Akihabara.
This time, we are at a radio department store called "Tokyo Radio Department Store".
Actually, this is the first electronic equipment and electronic equipment department store in Japan.
I see.
Akihabara was called "Electronic City" around 1950.
It was founded at that time.
So, we can say that we were able to make history with Akihabara.
Have you always been in this area?
Yes, we have always been in this area.
Before that, there were some changes.
For example, for 74 years,
we have been in a department store specialized in electronic equipment.
So, let's take a look around.
Yes.
The store is getting very small.
I will entrust you with it.
She entrusted us with it.
I will entrust you with another one.
There is an inside camera and an outside camera.
The store is small and we can't put our cameras in.
So, I will entrust you with the control of the camera.
Then, let's go inside and take a look.
Yes.
Good evening. I'm Nogizaka46 Fumoto Torika.
It's December now.
I love Christmas, so I'm excited about this season.
Let's enjoy December this year, too!
This time, the Tokyo Radio Department, where the three of us will infiltrate,
is a wonderland of electronic parts and electronic devices that can be found in about 36 stores.
Let's go upstairs.
First, let's go to the third floor.
Let's go around the left.
There are a lot of things.
What's this? There are a lot of batteries, too.
There are various things mixed up in this floor.
Even if it's the same thing, there are a lot of different types.
There's a lot of cables, too.
There's a credit card payment system, too.
Wow!
They sell things like this.
I want one of these.
Look, there's a piano.
The three of us are interested in everything we see.
This is the electronic parts department.
The first person we'll talk to is Ms. Saito Electronic Introduction.
She's so cute!
This is a store that specializes in special parts and special equipment since the Tokyo Radio Department was established in 1950.
What are special parts?
What is it?
It's like beans.
I think there are a lot of things you've never seen before.
Today, we're going to talk to the store manager, Makino, about various things.
What kind of things do you mainly sell in this store?
Is it a metal connector hanging from above?
In front of you, there is a noise cancelling device that musicians use a lot to clean up the sound.
It's like that.
With this?
With this itself, you can remove the noise stopper and make the sound clean and clear.
Oh, I see.
Have you ever seen such a cylindrical thing on a computer adapter or something like that?
You can also reduce the glare of the computer monitor by attaching this component.
Oh, but isn't this what we did with the soldering iron the other day?
That's right.
This is also like a motherboard base. I think it probably comes in when you open it, but when you look inside the power supply, there are probably a lot of these components in it.
There was, there was, there was.
Did you have it?
Didn't you have it?
I had it!
Then, just by breaking one of these components, depending on the situation, you can turn off the power supply by turning on the computer.
Oh, so each and every one of them is essential.
That's right.
That's what we want to do, too.
While saying "special parts", it seems that there are parts that are surprisingly used for familiar things.
Also, this kind of switch can be used in a normal microwave oven.
I see.
I've never seen such parts before.
No, I haven't.
If you disassemble it, it means that this will come out, right?
That's amazing.
I've never used it without knowing it at all.
There were quite a lot of electronic appliances that looked like they were disassembled.
Wow, I don't have the courage to disassemble an electronic appliance.
Why do you only sell such fine parts?
Well, I don't think there's a shop like ours.
Customers who are in good health often come to buy one piece at a time, so it's not like we're putting it all together, but we're selling it one by one.
Oh, that's amazing.
In the past, people used to buy broken things like radio waves and fix them and use them for their hobbies, or fix them and sell them, and people would come to buy these parts.
Oh, I see. You can get things like "I only want this".
That's right. Some people bring radio waves and ask us if we use them for their hobbies.
Oh, I see. So you can get things like that.
It depends on the person.
Have you been doing this for generations?
That's right. My predecessor passed away when I was a little older, and now my father is following in his footsteps and doing it himself.
Well, if you're doing it as a family, it's short, or it's been short since you were little.
That's right. There are parts around you since you were little, so it may be a little stronger to fix and use than to buy it back even if it breaks.
I think it's really nice to use things that my mom and dad used to use and keep them until my age.
Normally, you'd say, "Oh, it's broken. Let's buy a new one."
That's right. You'd say, "Let's fix it."
Yes.
Is it for people overseas?
Yes, it's for people overseas.
There are a lot of people overseas in Akihabara.
There aren't many places selling parts like this in their own country.
Oh, there aren't any.
It's like you have to come to Japan to buy it.
You can go to Akihabara for sightseeing, buy parts, or buy small things like this.
It's nice to be able to actually look at it like this and buy it.
And you can also listen to people's stories.
That's right.
- I see. - I see.
I asked for a lot of small parts, but it's not easy to get them.
- It's not easy? - I've never heard of it.
- It's not easy? - No.
- Thank you very much. - Thank you very much.
- Shall we go downstairs? - Yes.
- Thank you very much. - Thank you very much.
Next, we'll visit the second floor...
- Ms. Hashigawa. - Oh, hello.
- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.
She specializes in vacuum tubes.
- Vacuum tubes? - Vacuum tubes?
- What are they? - I've never heard of them.
- They're like light bulbs. - Light bulbs?
- You know what a light bulb is, right? - No, I don't.
- Thank you for your help. - No problem.
It's a bit of a mechanism.
When you turn on the light, it makes a sound.
- It makes a sound? - Yes.
- It makes a sound. - Wow!
Wow!
- Light bulbs are used for music, right? - Yes.
- I was on a program about computers. - I see.
People tend to think it has nothing to do with it,
- but computers were invented with these. - I see.
- So it all started with computers. - That's right.
Vacuum tubes are not only computers,
but also the origin of electrical appliances.
Vacuum tubes are those that control electricity in glass tubes,
and by applying that principle,
they've developed into semiconductors that are used in many electrical appliances.
I was involved in receiving phone calls,
- and I was also involved in radio... - Oh, radio.
- and TV. - I see.
- So you were involved in TV, too? - Of course.
- Really? - There were dozens of those on TV.
- That's why those umbrellas are amazing. - In the past, there were TVs with legs, right?
- Yes, there were. - In the early days, all of them were vacuum-sealed.
- That's why they were so thick. - Yes, hot and hot.
- I see. Amazing. - Amazing.
So if you look through this gap, it looked like a night view building.
- I want to see it! - I used to watch it a lot as a kid.
I love it so much, so I want to see it.
- Even if you don't go outside? - Yes, I want to enjoy the night view.
- It's interesting. - It is.
- How did you start this shop? - Well,
we used to be a joint venture company.
- We don't have it anymore, but... - I see.
- I've been working with the president for 30 years. - Is that so?
- Wow, that's a long time. - It all started with the president's hobby shop.
- I see. - The world became a transistor, right?
- But I quit everything and started working at a transistor company. - I see.
- But I heard there were a lot of syncs left at home. - I see.
- The president wanted to give it a try, so I joined and started working with him. - I see.
- That's how it started. - Yes, it was the president's hobby shop.
- I was like, "What is it?" - I know, right?
I was surprised.
You can find a lot of things like this online,
- but people who like it want to see it. - They want to see it.
- They want to see it in person. - It's the same for computers, right?
People who like it want to see it in person and buy it.
That's what's interesting about it.
- We don't get to see this many things. - We always have a lot of things.
- It's cute. - There's a room.
- There are famous and beautiful people lined up. - Wow!
- It's really clean. - I know, right?
- There's a small one like this. - Oh, you're right!
- I've been thinking that the contents are completely different, but why is that? - The contents, size and shape, right? - Yes, the shape. - This is an age. - Oh, it's an age? - It's been made for quite a long time, and it's better to be small and small as much as possible as parts. - That's right. - It's evolving towards that, right? - Yes, yes. - It's that history. - Wow!
- But there's a difference in size like this. If you think about it as a result of technicians' efforts, it's romantic. - And it's said that there's also a very rare vacuum tube here. - Yes. - For example, this one. - It's cute! - It's been a while, right? - It's cute, right? - It's round. - It really looks like a light bulb. - I think it was made about 100 years ago. - Wow! - Wow! - I'm glad you kept it. - Isn't it amazing? - It's amazing, and it's really beautiful.
- How much is it for one of these? - It's about 200,000 yen for one of these. - Wow!
- This is very expensive. - But it's totally different depending on the age, isn't it? - Yes, the value is different.
- What kind of people come to buy this? - These are fans of old men. - Wow!
- They don't tell their wives about it. - It's expensive. - It's like a collection. - They don't tell their wives about it.
- As I said earlier, nowadays, machines, especially old machines, can't be seen in the world, right? - Yes.
- It's a great ability, but you don't know, do you? - I don't know.
- It's dull and disposable. If it breaks... - It's dull and disposable. If it breaks...
- It's dull and disposable. - It's dull and disposable.
- It's hard to put it back together.
- But in this era, you can see the movement with your eyes.
- So, you know...
- You might feel more comfortable than you do now.
- You can see each part of it.
- It's really transparent, so you can wrap it up.
- It sounds like a hassle, doesn't it?
- No, no, no!
- It's romantic.
- I think it's a hassle.
- I think so, too.
- If you have a chance, you should start with something simple.
- It's interesting.
- Can we do it at all?
- You can make it at all.
- You can just tie it up with a thread.
- Do you have an instruction manual for that?
- Yes, we do.
- We've had a lot of instructions for making fonts for a long time.
- Wow!
- That's how you make it.
- Wow!
- There are a lot of dots.
- So you stick it in here.
- That's right.
- I'm looking at it from behind.
- From behind this one?
- Yes, from behind this one.
- I see.
- But it's fun when you're done.
- But I think this size is about this big.
- It's big!
- I'm probably not an expert, but I think this size is about...
- If you look at the components in the iPhone...
- I don't think it's even one millimeter.
- I think it's a few microns.
- This is it?
- Yes, this is it.
- Wow!
- It may be even smaller.
- That's right.
- That kind of machine is amazing.
- I can't get my head around it.
- It's amazing.
- It's like this because old technology has been piled up and become like this.
- It's amazing.
- I didn't know. - It's wonderful.
- We heard a wonderful story at the end. - Yes, we did.
- It's nice, isn't it? - It's a meaningful time.
- Thank you for everything. - Thank you for everything.
- Was it fun? - Thank you.
- The next and last shop is... - Yes.
- On the first basement floor... - On the first basement floor?
- There is a final processing plant. - What?
- In Akihabara. - I'm scared.
- A final processing plant in Akihabara? - Yes.
- Let's go and have a look. - Yes.
Oh, it's this way.
- What is a final processing plant? - I wonder what it is.
- It's on TV, isn't it? - Yes.
- It's been used for a long time. - I see.
- Oh, it's over there! - Oh, it's over there!
The show's original game "Denpa-to" is selling well for 980 yen!
We'd like to hear your thoughts on the show, so please give it a try!
We infiltrate the Tokyo Radio Department and head to Akihabara's final disposal site.
- I found it. - Oh, you did!
- The final disposal site. - Huh? Hey, this?
It's here.
From junk PCs to things you don't know what to use for,
the store has a wide range of junk goods.
- Oh, look, look, look! There's a camera! - Oh!
- It's true. Everyone loves Iomio cameras. - There's a camera!
- Let's buy one of these, then. - For each other.
- Huh? It's 10,000 yen! - Then I'll do my best...
- Can we use it for a toll pass fee? - Huh?
- With this... - Huh?
- Can we use it for a toll pass fee? - This one's long, too.
- This one's a board... - Yeah, it's a board.
- This one's an adapter, too. - Oh, isn't this one of those?
- Yeah, it's that one. - What was it again?
- It is. - An old box?
- It says "PC98". - Oh, it's a PC!
- It's like one you'd find at school. - It's a retro PC.
- We did it! We did it! - We did it!
- Wow! - But it's only 9,800 yen.
- Wow! - But it's cheaper than what we made.
- As expected of junk goods. They're sold for high prices.
- There's still a lot of things we're interested in, but let's ask the store manager.
- Hello! - Hello!
- Are you Nakagawa-san? - Nakagawa-san! Nice to meet you!
- You can buy anything? - You can buy it or sell it.
- You can? - What kind of people are broken?
- There are all kinds of people. - Really?
- Some people like repairing their computers. - I see.
- Even young people learn how to repair their computers at school. - I'm used to it.
- There are people who don't have money, but have a lot of free time. - I see.
- They watch YouTube and repair their computers. - It's my hobby.
- It's your hobby. - It's nice.
- There are people who like it so much that it's not good. - It's not good.
- If it's cheap, it's better. - That's right.
- What sells the most? - Well...
- They're all wide and shallow. - I see.
- It depends on the day. - I see.
- You can buy computer parts for 1 yen or 10,000 yen. - 1 yen and 10,000 yen?
- Yes. If it's 500 watts, it's 500 yen. - I see.
- However, it's better not to buy used parts. - I see.
- If it's broken, it's all gone. - I see.
- Young people who don't have money learn how to repair their computers at school. - I see.
- It's the most expensive part. - I see.
- Some people want to use better parts. - I see.
- Some people want to use expensive parts. - I see.
- It's interesting. - I see.
- It seems that you have prepared something interesting for us to come to Roki. - That's great!
- This is a Sony camera called Mavica, which became popular 20 years ago. - Mavica?
- What's amazing about this is that it's a floppy disk floppy disk. - Wow!
- It's a floppy disk floppy disk. - It's cool!
- This can be used as a memory stick. - Wow! It's very convenient!
- If you take it like this, you can use it like this on your iPhone. - That's right.
- Is that so? - It's very convenient!
- The short video from about 20 years ago is... - Wow! It's great!
- Isn't the texture great? - It's a little retro.
- It's got 1.3 million pixels. - Wow!
- How many million pixels do you have on your iPhone now? - I think I have about 20 million pixels now.
- 130 million pixels? - And 20 million pixels?
- I think I have about 20 million pixels now. - 20 million pixels!?
- I thought the camera was good, but I didn't know which one was good. - Personally, I like this one a lot.
- It has a very good taste. - It was very popular at the time.
- Was it popular? - It was very popular.
- Is this the place? - I know it, but it's not that beautiful.
- It's in good condition. - It's in very good condition.
- I have three of them. - Don't be so explicit.
- I can't do it.
- Interesting.
And the best service in this store is the service that physically destroys the hard disk for 100 yen per black history final copy.
We will experience how it destroys the hard disk for 100 yen per black history final copy.
- This is the black history file. - Oh!
- Please press the green button. - I'll do it.
- Black history. - Please press it.
- Wow! - Oh, scary!
- Look, look, look! - Huh!?
- It's cracking. - Wow, wow, wow.
- Is it over? - Yes, it's complete.
- Wow! - Wow!
- It's terrible. - You crushed someone's black history.
- The hard disk was originally for data. - Wow!
- It's terrible! - If you put your arm in it, you'll die.
- No, no, no.
- Don't think about it. - Oh my!
- It's scary. - Don't think about it.
- We're going to die. - It's like a death game.
- It looks painful. - Why did you start?
- I used to train my computer. - I see.
- And I had a lot of questions like "How is the data?" "Is it okay?"
- Of course, this isn't as big as a hammer. - That's right. It's hard.
- So I started doing it on my own.
- I see.
- I'm relieved. - There are a lot of anniversaries.
- Anniversaries? - It's been a while. - It's been a while.
- It's true. - Black history has appeared.
- When I was working at a convenience store, this place was empty.
- I thought there was something like a cover. - That's right.
- I've looked for this cover with a crowd of customers.
- "Tokyo Basukun Club" will broadcast after the broadcast and "tver" etc.
- The program will continue for three years, four years and more.
- "tver" will continue for a long time.
- Please click the "like" button of "tver".
- There are some parts of the computer here. - Yes.
- Can you make a computer with what you have here?
- I think you can do it. - Can you do it?
- How much do you think you can do it for? - If you do your best, you can do it for five or six hundred yen.
- What? Five or six hundred yen? - If you use all broken parts,
- Five or six hundred yen is too much, but there is a power supply, so about a thousand yen.
- I spent less than 300,000 yen to make a computer.
- Young people want it, but you can't buy it, can you? - I can't buy it.
- Why do you collect it little by little and make it?
- I can't make it with one hundredth of that.
- But you can make it with performance. - That's right. I'll do my best for that.
- But it's amazing that you have all that.
- Can you make a computer with these parts?
- Really?
- If you really want to do it, I'll do it for you.
- Why are you fighting all of a sudden?
- Do you want me to buy it at school discount?
- It's much more difficult than buying a new one.
- I'll buy it for five hundred yen at school discount. - That's right.
- When you don't do it at a repair shop. - That's right.
- But it looks like you're having a lot of fun.
- It's amazing that you can do it like that.
- Invite Nogizaka464.
- To Nogizaka464.
- I'll consider it positively. - Yes, consider it positively. Thank you very much.
- Next time... - Yes, Hayashiruna will say, "I'm an idol."
- It's very easy to understand. - It's simple.
- Wow! - Learn the power points...
and challenge the Gulzen!
- Alligator! - It's "wani."
