These Japanese YouTubers decided to play a game, they got off a station earlier than their home and to walk home from there, but whenever they pass a Conbini they'd have to pick 6 items and roll a dice and buy that item from the 6. There's a lot of stores...
Youtube ruins videos with godawful AI-generated autodubbing if it detects a video in a language that differs from your locale. You can access the original audio from the settings cog.
Often, several stores belonging to the same chain are located in close proximity to each other so that goods can be distributed more cheaply and frequently. This strategy is known as dominant policy (ドミナント政策, dominanto seisaku).[1]
I live in Japan. This is great! Though with all the overlay it’s hard to pinpoint my neighborhood. A gps loc button or the ability to temporarily turn off the colors would help! Thank you for making such a fun thing :)
Pretty cool stuff! Side note, it’s always fun to see Japan-related content getting to the front page around this time, as the people in NA are asleep. Would be curious to see HN userbase %s by continents.
Idk what is the goal here, but maybe some analysis with graph would be better, like who has the most territory or something like that? You also might need to disclosure how you got this data
Nice concept but struggled to find my area. Short of search or using my location it would be nice to have a line overlay (lines which go underground are obscured currently).
It's just a name, but those franschises would likely consider it a real fight for prime real estate and customer base, each aiming to overtake the others.
This is great, but it doesn't differentiate between "Natural Lawson" and "Lawson", which my partner and I have dubbed "Unnatural Lawson".

I'm sorry but that video is literally unwatchable! What in the world is happening with the audio/subtitles?

Seizon Senryaku!
What’s the source for combini locations?
I’ve actually been interested in that data for a back burner project for some years now.
Here's a similar analysis for Hong Kong: https://khwongk12.medium.com/7-eleven-vs-circle-k-5964b8f008....

Yes - hard to see e.g. city labels on the map under all the pie charts.

I would really like to know some stats about the Voronoi cells, like average size, largest and smallest...
This is fun, but I would separate specialized outlets. For example Lawson and Lawson 100 are not the same.
A few years ago, I was in Wroclaw and it was full of convenience stores.
Where I stayed, you could go to a store and from there see the next one already.
Sorry but this seems like vibe coded slop
You cant search or change language

very cool, would be interested to see this approach applied to other markets
It took quite a while for the overlay to appear. Be patient if you want to see the data.
this is very cool! I love how responsive the interface is.
There was no war until a map was presented lol
