Otaku Memories of Sega Building Arcade in Akihabara

I have a YouTube video of me exploring Sega Building in Akihabara… The one that closed in 30 August 2020.

It was precious travel memories… So I updated the video title and the thumbnail to reflect the trend.

I hope the video will give curious viewers a vivid visual tour inside the building.

Enjoy the Otaku (me) memories of Sega Building Arcade in Akihabara… https://youtu.be/ktuJecCUoEA

“After 17 years of welcoming arcade goers, the Sega Akihabara Building 2 arcade shuts its doors on 30 August 2020, resulting in the loss of one of the most iconic video game arcades along the district.” – https://geekculture.co/massive-sega-arcade-in-akihabara-bids-farewell-as-it-closes-down-for-good/

“Standing on a corner directly across from the Manseibashi Bridge that stretches across the Kandagawa River, the unobstructed view of Sega Akihabara Building 2 made the skyscraper a prime canvas for massive murals promoting the latest video game release or anime tie-up.” – https://soranews24.com/2020/08/04/akihabara-saying-goodbye-to-landmark-as-giant-sega-arcade-announces-its-closing-for-good/

“Notice of closure
Thank you for your continued patronage. We are sorry to announce that this branch, Sega Akihabara Building 2, will be closing.
Our last day of operations will be Sunday, August 30.
The entire staff wishes to express, from the bottom of our hearts, our sincere gratitude at the loving support you have given our establishment for so many years.” – a sign posted inside the building before it closed.

“While it is unclear what the reason for the building’s closure is, the district has been feeling the impact of the pandemic’s (COVID-19) hit on tourism in the country, as it has been thriving largely on international tourists.” – https://mothership.sg/2020/08/akihabara-sega-close/

Would you like to walk with me through the Electric Town of Japan?

Day 5 in Japan and we arrived in Akihabara from Asakusa by train.

The girls go shopping on their own and I’m all by myself to explore.

This is what I discovered. Akihabara is where boys hang out!

Where do they go? What do they buy?  Why gather here?
