Didn't find any yet, unfortunately.
The only vending machines you indeed find everywhere outside are meant for sodas or cigarettes.

Story-telling, of course, especially when you know how long Japanese have to live with their parents because they can't afford a rent on their own. I'd even say that's sort of a dream, or a fantasy for everyone here (and there. lol). You know, making the audience "jealous" is the best way to remain interesting, isn't it?
