フローリング直ではなく、こたつの下にマット一枚ひくと暖かさが­全然かわりますよ

You made me miss kotatsu! Kotatsu is convenient place when boys and girls get together. You can hold hands or do something more with a next girl/boy without being known by the others. Japanese prefer SDA over PDA, you know?

[ianflowforever]

I loved it when you just moved the table to get the phone!

[ianflowforever]

I would love to own one! I wonder if it would take up too much space in my room...

Hehe

[allgoo19]

If you have a kotatsu, you got to have a cat(or two). ^_^

[calcipherwood]

im totally getting one, my uncle loves it cold and i like warm so its a good compromise that i get a kotatsu, looks comfortable

緑茶+みかん+テレビ+ゲーム機、

これでこたつは世界最強…。

色々な意味で。

Oh mama

[StarAWings]

XD You like live in that thing during winter! I would be fine... 19 degrees celcius... that's a nice temp...

Oh I really like the music, it's really crelaxing!

[Anniezawrr]

the immense envy i am feeling right now...this makes me want to go buy one! though i think it would be cheaper to use my doona covers as the futon xD

[HirotoKun3000]

I WANT 1!

[ProjectVanBand]

@HirotoKun3000 I cant imagine living without it now!

[Limastudent]

I have sat at an authentic kotatsu with coals underneath. A friend's traditional farmhouse in Kyushu had a dirt floor kitchen where she had to build a fire to cook a meal. They also had an authentic ofuro where you had to build a fire under it and then balance on a wooden platform inside the water and not touch the side of the hot metal cauldron while you soaked in it. They were back to the land people. Hard life.

[ProjectVanBand]

@Limastudent wow what a great experience!! but yeah, I would enjoy experiencing it only like...once. Sounds very troublesome to have to prepare all that everyday!

[soraheart52]

wow~

okay, so i know you set up the "kotatsu" in the winter

does it have a different name in other seasons?

[ProjectVanBand]

@soraheart52 o.o that is a good question.....i am not sure. it might just be a table in summer. hmmmm

[saralhrules]

you live in japan cool!

do you get funny looks or stuff

just wanted to know

[ProjectVanBand]

@saralhrules hmmmm it depends on what I:m wearing i guess LOL. but really, In Tokyo....there are SOOOO MANY FOREIGNERS>>>>they:re EVERYWHERE!!! so no, not really! sometimes i do in certain stores where foreigners usually dont go. Also I've learned to not go dressed like a tom-boy coz that DOES get me lots of weird looks... thanks for visiting my channel!

[saralhrules]

@ProjectVanBand really theres alot of foreigners because i was thinking of moving in japan with a friend of mine but we were worried of the dirty looks and gossips

plus are you in a band because i

[ProjectVanBand]

@saralhrules i couldnt find the rest of the comment, but yeah, at least in Tokyo, there are a lot of foreigners. I also get treated well in Tokyo. They are quite used to foreigners. Yokohama is also like that.

[zengshan7]

こたつに負けてるんじゃない！

自分に負けてるんだ！

自分に打ち勝て！！

立派な武士になれないぞ！

[ProjectVanBand]

@zengshan7 that's true actually....

[tropirei]

I laughed a lot when you started crawling to get your phone. I wish I lived somewhere cold enough to need one :( it was 40+ degrees today. Ugh!

[ProjectVanBand]

@tropirei  I*m so jealous!!! i hate the cold.......my dream is to live somewhere where it never gets cold.

I think i want to live in Hawaii since it would be a mix of japan, usa, and tropical paradise hahaha

problem is money...T.T

[Silkeauverthe]

I ordered a kotatsu from Japan last winter... Since I live in Canada, it's really usefull... I am just like you, as soon as I get under it, I never want to get out! And it's great to save money on electricity bills, too! Enjoy your kotatsu in the cold season!

[ProjectVanBand]

@Silkeauverthe wow i didnt know you could order a kotatsu all the way from Canada! They are definitely worth the shipping costs.....i cant imagine living without one now....

enjoy yours too!!!

[Silkeauverthe]

@ProjectVanBand I found a website that sells kotatsu tables with heaters attached to them.. And theres alot of futon and mat sets on ebay.. Althought the shipping is very expenssive, ouch X3

[ProjectVanBand]

@Silkeauverthe i think i would prefer to have a mattress rather than a futon. softer! plus i get tired of picking that thing up every single day LOL then having to hang it outside!!! my arms have built up just from toting those futons around!! they:re heavy! hahaha oh well. there are some advantages of futons too though. like you can sleep in any place you want and easier to dust them out. they have so much dust!

[123451234512345]

the acting made me lol but thanks :)

[ProjectVanBand]

@123451234512345  hahahahaha yeah it:s.....pretty....bad hahahaha

[Kroliczek666]

I like this music a lot. I would like to listen to it a lot while I work :O ( Hey, programmers are listening to music too, they are living creatures! :c )

[ProjectVanBand]

@Kroliczek666  really? thanks!!! actually this is one of those *unfinished* works hahaha. maybe i should make a page somewhere to upload the *pieces* hahaha

so you are a programmer? wow awesome!! i went one semester for programming till i ran off to japan hahaha
