I completely agree with that, and I'm very jealous too. And the video is amazing, as usual. I wish I lived in Tokyo.

This will be interesting... now all those stores mentioned in this episode will become a pilgrimage destination for Head-Fiers :p

I have to say this episode by far has been the best in all aspects. If I had won that big lottery prize I would book a trip ASAP and for the next Tokyo Headphone Festival. But as it is I will have to enjoy it though your posting.

I am going to book my flight from Indonesia to the Tokyo Headphone Festival.
Is this open to public? I tried browsing for the English information of the event but couldn't find it.
Jude you're a handsome lad, no homo
Yes, it is. At the rate it's getting busier each year they're going to have to find a bigger venue or use more floors, so I'd get there early if I were you.
I just can't wait to go there and see and test those headphones....
I live near tokyo but seldom have a chance to go there and spend some time...
I'm really new on this stuff but it already became one of my hobbies right now....
and the more I learn....the more I get impressed with....it's something that I can't describe properly with words....
just like a blind man who suddenly starts to see ...
simply amazing.....
Does anybody have a list of the places mentioned in this video?
I apologise if it has been posted before.
Sort of in order:

^ Akihabara Radio Department Store- is more of a collection of vendors, so there is no actual website that I know of. This is a good video showing the inside though.

Definitely the best episode of Head-Fi TV by far. My jaw was on the floor for the whole 35 minutes looking at all the gorgeous gear. Keep it up!
Super drool on those Fitear MH334's, my wallet curses you for informing me of it's existence! 
I'll be at the Spring 2012 meet. Tokyo denizens: see you there.
Apropos of nothing, my SR-225s just came back from being repaired by Grado. They replaced the old cord with a new one that terminates in a 3.5 mm TRS plug. Which is nice.
