  • The Coca-Cola ad at the end was TERRIFYING. Like, "YOU CAN'T ESCAPE THE AMEICAN ADVERTISEMENTS!"

  • hey, im 14 and i've decided (about 2-3 years ago) that as soon as i finish Uni, im gonna move to Kyoto, do you think its a good idea, i just love the whole japanese... well.. aspect xD + i heared kyoto is REALLY beautiful. i live in england ATm and i cant wait to move away from here. :/

  • If you really like japan,please,try to speak japanese without accent.

  • I lived outside of Tokyo for 6 years and on Ookinawa for 4 years. I loved it and would go back in a second. The people are great, the country is beautiful and the culture is amazing.

  • the music.....battlestar galactica...!

  • Thanks for your absolutely great videos! Yeah I've been there 3 times and honestly everyday I think about my return journey. This time I'm armed with some language skills and an agenda as to where I want to go. But really I cant go everywhere - its just too big a place! You really cannot answer your own question - not without alot of thought. I also like oshiburi and if I needed a really trivial reason - that alone would get me there.I know the real reasons are difficult to express in words

  • This first video sequence looks an awful lot like the Na Pali overlook in Honolulu, HI...

  • @zabetheli90 Actually, believe it or not, that is a little town called Yufuin (a famous onsen vacation spot) in Kyushu. It's not as warm as Hawaii there, but the hotsprings are amazing!

  • @Posatrocible The only difference was you couldn't see the ocean but similar looking landscape....I plan on taking a trip one day to Japan one day and I will be looking into Kyushu now :-)

  • I plan to visit Japan after high school or after the marine corps or if I get stationed there I didn't want to go to Japan until recently I was on YouTube as usual watching videos and came upon some video about this guy in Japan showing what it was like and that was about a week ago and now I'd love to go!

  • this is a good vedeo but it seems that you are a somewhat deep person that didnt bother to reflect or gather your ideas before you made the video. I think if you did a new one where you had spend more time working on the content of what you said, then it could be allot better.

  • I've made up my mind: I want to travel and preferably not live in America when I'm older. Maybe I will even move to Japan. It'll be a challenge, but I think that I can do it. C:

    The culture is very interesting. I like it much more than my own culture, which always seems so uptight and somewhat unpleasant at times. Hopefully I'll be able to go someday!

  • Its my dream to live in japan and play football in the J-League and one day i will

  • i noticed the marijuana air scenter thingy. i take it you smoke? if so, hows the bud over there?

  • Im Norwegian and i have been to Japan, lovely place, but i prefer to live here in Oslo, Norway

  • Sorry for troubling you, but I can't acess that link to ask you something... alternate link, please?

  • @samaimdeda Heya, thanks for the comment! I fixed that link, and you can find my email address on the site. Get in touch anytime if you have a question!

  • @Posatrocible Thank you! I sent you a ridiculously long E-mail... I put LittleMissProchainezo as my name at the bottom, lol.

  • Just wait until muslims start living there, it is going to be a shithole. Japanese people will probably start hating foreigners, like Americans hate Mexicans, in the near future. You guys are doing exactly what Americans percieve illegals do; invading and taking over by outbreeding the inhabitants.

  • 日本がすきなのはうれしいが祖国を捨てるな。

    日本人のためにも移民のためにもいずれよくないことがおこる。

  • @neguser1

    日本が好きでわざわざ日本に移住する人は、日本の慣習に従う意思­があるだろうから、そんなに問題を起こすこともないだろうと私は­思います。また、もし何か問題があったとしても、日本を理解して­日本に住まれる方々が相手である限りは、我々にも解決に協力する­義務があると思います。

    ↓外国の方向け

    I think most of us welcome you to live in Japan, as long as you try to understand and follow our culture and custom:)

  • good thoughts on living in japan, man. hey.. if you guys want to see more views of japan come see my page with bento and JAPAN :)

  • How could you move to Japan? I mean, how did that start? I actually wanna move there... but dunno what the first step should be:S

  • Haha nice ganj leaf air freshner!

  • How's manufacturing in Japan? Are they hiring welders?

  • that was a bad use of Battlestar Galactica music. But good show nonetheless.

  • I wonder where you lived in North America? I lived in Orange County, CA and I felt it was more international. I had friends from all over the world. I am in japan now and I do not know many foreigners. Maybe that is because I am in Tokyo.

  • A normal human being can't stand living in Japan cuz most of japanese are horrible racists. I know this cuz I lived there for some time.

  • @pedrito1106 Lol I have also lived there for quite some time, and am returning soon, and have no idea what you are talking about. I have experienced some racism but no less then my years in america. And everyone is generally politer so I like it better. I'm sure most foreigners will say the same ^_^ There are plenty of vids on youtube about foreigners living in japan and most of them only inspire me to return.

  • Fucking CYLOOOOOOONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I would have mentioned the cleanliness of pretty much everywhere, the politeness and amazing customer service, the technology, the peace *low crime rate*, and pretty much every other important aspects of japanee culture.

  • i am from Alaska and have traveled the U.S. and wish to find a friend to travel with i want to move to japan i am looking to stay and become a farmer

  • It's odd that he did not include Asian women as the reason why he lives there. I bet that is probably the main reason he moved to that country, as well as the higher standard of living.

  • I like the food and girls. Just need to get the damn language, then it Cali to Japan baby!

  • lol the conbini! every single time i've passed a lawson's, without fail, there's always at least two people i see standing there reading magazines. ALWAYS. awesome.

  • The biggest difference difference between America and Japan is you will not see many cultural things in America's life style (unless you consider night clubs, drug and sex as some sort of culture )

  • 3 more years of school and I'll be over there. I'm so excited!!!! XD

  • i noticed the pot plant thing in your car i heard that japan has really strict drug laws

  • @nirvanapower1991: I thought that was a pot plant, too, but apparently it's just a leaf from a Japanese species of tree similar to the maple. It's a symbol of autumn, it seems.

  • @nirvanapower1991 ah that explains it thank you

  • Karaoke? Beer? Haha, I wasn't aware of the fact that these were Japanese institutions. No, White people like the Japanese because they are clean, intelligent, and efficient, somewhat like the Germans. And, after all, a venture to such a nation so far removed from Occidental society would be nothing short of refreshing and intriguing, I assume.

  • America has been stripped of it's factories and jobs.

    Americans are about to lauch revolution against their own system.

  • @azkeyz Honestly, if you hate America and Americans so much, you can move...just saying. You seem to despise every aspect of America, join the global bandwagon why dontcha, but seriously, no one's making you stay.

  • Basicaly the Obama terrorist regime forced americans to re-evalute america America is nothing but one big huge fraud , from birth to death. I think americans are thrilled at the possibility of being with a people like the japanese. White americans are under attack. 1. racism 2. sexism 3. corperate greed 4. failed education system 5. failed health care system 6. failed government who continue to commit treason and fraud 7. false religions , cults 8. organized crime 9. globalism
  • Americans don't even remember who they are or where they actually came from.

  • The absolute truth is english is a fraud.

  • Hell = false greco roman vatican concept

  • The american mind is barely rational.

    American education is garbage.

    Japan is a mental vaccation for the american mind.

    American is a disease , a mental illness.

    democracy and capitalism are a fraud.

    Americans also dispise England because the money trail leads back to England.

    Americans are mad as hell and we're not going to take it anymore !

  • I love Japan too because people care. They actually take time to take care of the people around u even if u r a total stranger! Here in England, everyone is so selfish n narrow-minded. ARHH. I wanna live in Japan!!!

  • i wonder how many americans live in japan apart from the US air bases

  • Hi there! I think its amazing that you live in Japan. I aspire to live their someday as well. I want to be an English teacher there. So, do you speak Japanese well and what is your occupation there (if I may ask)? Thanks! (:

  • why do ppl love living in japan... one answer... cuz its AWESOME! no explanation needed...

  • Whats with the Battle Star Gallactica Theme in the back ground???

  • @WerewolfTammer i thought i was the only one. lmao. nerds UNITE!

  • The Japanese are a very introverted society.

  • You should learn how to pronounce karaoke.

  • Matt, you hit the nail on the head. It's the adventure. I've been living in Germany for the past 16 years and have often asked myself why. It's always the adventure. It's the discovery of something you didn't know before. You learn something new, literally almost every day. I don't think you can do that in the place where you grew up. There are always new words, new ideas, new customs etc. to be discovered. this discovery is what keeps us Ausländer going. We're a cultural Indiana Jones!

  • nice exploration of answers.

    and it eventually turns to be a coke ads? XDDDD

  • Wow. I never thought there'd be so many foreigners. Is it where you live? The job you do? When I went to Ikebukuro me and my mum were the only foreigners save for when we went on a tour bus.

    And you know Wales exists! Props for that. I'm half and proud of it.

  • I have lived in London my entire life (I'm 17), I hate it here, I never go out, there is nothing to see or do, I have no friends here either. My dream, is to live in Japan, as blunt and ignorant as that sounds, I am completely attached to the ...Not idea, dream, and I will do it :). Not as an escapist ideology either, I'm not thinking that if I live there every problem I have will leave me, I just genuinely prefer it (from speculation) over London.

  • @VaderGaming Do it! All my British friends here say they would never go back. Down side here is work and accommodations, otherwise great! Make a plan to take care of these two problems and you are set.

  • @MyLifeinJapan09 Why thank you kind sir! This is a new account I made, by the way, I'm not just another random person ;). I do have somewhat of a plan, I was going to study for my Computer Science degree in England, whilst learning Japanese, then I would have the prospects of working in London or Japan. I'm not sure how well a Computer Science degree works in Japan, whether they have vacancies or whatnot, but it seems like a pretty sound idea to me. Thanks :)

  • @VaderGaming COME! We are waiting for you!

  • @VaderGaming it's my dream too :))

  • @VaderGaming i left London and moved to Japan about 2 years ago - best decision i ever made.

  • @HanzoJapan i'll do it to, once i graduate college...!

  • @HanzoJapan as a japanese, I have some questions for you. as you know Japan has suffered from recession for 20 years. why you made that decision? and you still think that is best decision?

  • @mildseven73 it's not all about money. my life here is like a beautiful dream.

  • @VaderGaming my brothers dream is to live in london, mine is osaka. I understand why you would like to :)

  • @VaderGaming

    I'm not sure that you would enjoy yourself in Japan. If you can't feel yourself comfortable in your home country then there's a big chance that this will be the case in Japan too. In your home country you are given the chance to belong to the flock whether you take it or not. In Japan you'll always be treated as a guest. It's not too hard to cope with it if you're an outgoing person but (no offense) you don't seem like one.

  • @VaderGaming same here most of my friends are either back in their home countries or studying US or UK, after i finish in singapore, i am soo movin to tokyo ~

  • @VaderGaming I am 16 and my dream is also to live in Japan ^^

  • @VaderGaming well some of that is an exaggeration

  • Im guessing he likes it because its easy to get laid. I dont see a nerd like that getting laid in the west.

  • @chineseracist Well you certainly live up to your name you communist.

  • @chineseracist

    you know its easy to get laid? you've been there?

  • It's fucking amazing,that's why you like living there.

  • wish you knew why and told us?

  • Exactly 1:00 intro, Video is EXACTLY 5:00 lol?

  • WOAH, my name's matt......who told you?

  • @240kankan Hmm... one of the most popular students in my class this semester is Chinese. And there are literally hundreds of Chinese students at our university and there have been no reports of attacks on or off campus. Your brothers and sisters in Beppu / Oita are safe!  Please rest easy about them.

  • 0:41

    guy to the left really loves his gibson flying V replica

  • Wow this is like weeaboo central on youtube!

  • Japan seems amazing! I would love to visit there one day but Im shy and dont want to stick out O_o

    I should totally learn Japanese! I love the language :D

  • Lol i recognized the battlestar gallactica lol

  • So was that a marijuana leaf air freshener in your car?

  • I love Japan and I've been more interested in learning Japanese. Japanese culture and the "girls" as well. Japan girls are beautiful but hard to get to. but not just for women there. Beautiful place to go to. Would love to go when I have the language all mastered and ready to go.

  • Japan as a country is really a sad sad stament on humanity, they are still the most racist people in "western" civilization. there is somthing really wrong with their culture.

  • @Tequlilaconlimon lol the only reason they may seem racist is because of the experiance they have with foreigners. Alot of foreigners that go there are generally alot more rude and less humble then their own society, so they want to keep them out. Japan just happens to be the cleanest, most developed, politest society on this planet, and they want to keep it that way. Based on what they see from the rest of the world *America*, I would want to keep them out also.

  • @hiashiro1 not all americans are rude

  • @jack21510001 Don't worry I know xD I am american and I don't stereotype. I'm just saying that rudeness just happens to be flourishing here, because of serious lack of community.

  • japan can only be explained by going there. I like how closed they are, it keeps the place special and exotic. The planet needs a couple of japans...

  • Is that a Canibus air freashner in the car lol

  • wohoooooooooooo sweden i live there

  • Nice video! But onsen is pronounced differently though, so you know. ^_^

  • omg. oshiburi. lol. it's nice when i visit the country. hopefully i can pay another visit again.

  • loving the air freshener man haha

  • i wish to live in japan now, i am going to make a big effort to make this happen. I am tired of the United States. so i once i take care of alot crap here i am soo gone from here for good.

  • @sonypsp05 Oh wow!

    Exactly how I feel.

    In a few years, after a few degrees, I'm shipping out! And living over there!

    Good luck to you :)

  • There is a real comradery between foreigners living in Japan. It's like you are a part a the "foreigner tribe" and it is easy to relate with each other because of your shared experience of Japan . Meeting people from around the world is a great part of that experience.

  • I'm trying to get hired to teach English in Japan. I've loved the culture of Japan even before I was introduced to Anime in High School! A lot of people have this vison of Japan solely thru anime and I hope that more and more people will discover the other faces of Japan, not just the Otaku side. I love manga and anime too but I know that's not the ONLY thing Japan is.

  • SONG PLEASE???

  • I love everything of japan, I am going to go in the future sure!

    now, i feel sad because I am not there yet.

  • I wonder if he had to adopt a japanese name?? Cuzz you have to do that inorder to become a citizen...

  • nice Intro muscic from Battle star galactica (good chooise). interseting video. Keep the peace and camera with you

  • My wife, children, and I are going to be moving to Japan next year. My wife and I got married in Japan and had our honeymoon there as well when we were 18 years old. I love the culture, the food, the language, the people, the technology, the clothing, the beautiful country, the history, and everything else about Japan. My sons and daughters are extremely excited about living in Japan.

  • @FleetCommanderXevius I'm happy for you =D

  • @BbvonstreetKING Thanks. =D

  • @FleetCommanderXevius

    I love Japan lovers! Hope you and your family will try a lot of things and have great experiences in Japan.

    Not only Technology, their Anime and Convinience Stores, Fami-lesu (Family Rrestaurants) are AWSOME also!!

    Wish I can go back to Japan,too! So jealous, haha.

  • Is that a pot leaf hanging off your rear view mirror?

  • Good video. Thank you for sharing.

  • Wherever I travel in the world, when I see a Coke sign I feel like I am safe.

    It make me feels like, people in that particular place is human.

  • so in other words your saying that anyone who isnt from the westen part of the world or american is a danger to you they are more sane and claverer than us in alot of things and prob have very little crime compared to the US but i wud like to visit japan seems like a nice place

  • So would you recommend living there as a foreigner?

  • 4:40 nice leaf hanging from the rear-view there! i hear its hard to find the real thing (in japan) if ya know what i mean. tru?

  • I would live in Japan in 2 seconds if I could. What a gorgeous place.

  • i like th Battle Star op

  • Oh thanks for the answer

  • A weed leaf refreshener. Right on!

  • i also noticed!

  • what do you do in japan ..like job and etc ??

  • how much local goverment gaves you ...

  • i like the coke part. =) anyway, maybe i'll see you in Japan in the future =)

  • To grant some clearance...

    The first soundtrack heard in this video is: Battlestar Galactica's season 2 - Main Title (UK version)

    Artist/Group: Bear McCreary

    Oshibori = "wet hand towels offered to customers in places such as restaurants or bars in Japan."

    So basically the wet towels aren't that unique, but more the custom/service.

  • LOL

  • getting the creeps from the battlestar galactica soundtrack thank you.

  • Semper Fidelis

    Steven Pasaporte Garcia

    Future United States Marine

  • love the herbal air freshener

  • Seriously, Japan looks beautiful and the people are actually sane; unlike here. lol Enjoy!

  • @WhiteCloud1001

    someeee people aren't. you're forgetting about the high suicide rate particularly in Tokyo. in the japanese business world you either make it or break it, those who break it throw themselves infront of trains because they 'fail' at life. go further into the country though and its soooooo chills

  • @WhiteCloud1001

    You can't make an accurate judgement like that unless you have lived for several years in both countries you are talking about.

    Not that I am entirely disagreeing with your statement(s).

    But opinions like that are becoming a bit generic, which are mostly not based on personal experience. And thus are not justified.

  • @WhiteCloud1001 Sane? I don't know about that lol

  • @WhiteCloud1001 They're just as insane as the rest of us, just in their own special way.

  • @WhiteCloud1001 The Japanese are just as insane as the rest of us. They are just a little more introverted about it. :c)

  • @WhiteCloud1001 you never hear mass murders are grand thefts in japan

  • @WhiteCloud1001 All people deserve to be accepted even those who are not nice or those who are lost or confused. It is a flaw of the Japanese culture that they require perfection out of people rather than just accepting and caring for all people.

  • I love the intro!

  • im moving to japan in 3 years to go live there (although and not going to be welcomed much) and i was wondering where is the best place to live in japan ( im considering kyoto) and what jobs can be suitable were u make a decent amount of money (btw im african-american) please someone reply.

  • Why wont you be welcomed there? Japanese people are so welcoming...!

  • well most japanese dont have any issues with foriners but im not going to lie since your black they might be a little curois but yet distant because they will think that your a criminal but if you learn japanese and respect the culture and show them that your a good person and you will have no issues with the japanese exept the ones who are really racist

  • i'm also moving to Japan in 3 years and i was thinking of  Kyoto or Okigubo

  • well i think being African-American there is a good idea cuz they havent ever seen someone like you(no offence) i suggest being a pilot for JAL

    its a well respected job there.

  • > I suggest being a pilot for JAL

    > its [sic] a well respected job there

    Where have you been during the past few years.

  • why

  • What do you mean "why"--have you no idea what has been happening to JAL, including to its pilots, during the past few years, especially the past few months AND the past few weeks?

  • why whats been happening?

  • JAL has filed for bankruptcy.

  • Oh shit, I'm a Cylon?

    I like your vids ^^ I'm planning on moving to Japan soon myself.

  • I very much appreciate the summer and winter videos ala a day in your life. Have never visited Japan so got a sense of it from your vantage point. You seem to enjoy what you do teaching and that comes across. Left a favorable impression on me. I hope if you are so inclined that you will share some of your adventures learning japanese in a video or part of a segment. It could encourage others to attempt learning a phrase or two.

  • I like living there too moving back soon. Please make more videos.

  • Comment removed

  • oooo no wI know why you were at Beppu eki in the clip. YOu live in Oita-shi!. I lived in Beppu. WAs a student at APU. Really loved it there. HAd lots of fun. sometimes we got bored and would jsut goto Fukuoka and goto Happy Cock(a club) and get in at a discount cuz a few people that worked there were APU students and we would just dirnk all night! :D Lots of fun. I use to have BAito in Oita city.

  • Woah you went to Beppu!! The clip where you guys were at the hand soaking onsen that's in front of the eki. I use to live in Beppu for about a yr and just got back!!. Did you enjoy the Shining Uncle statue?

  • My cousin´s girlfriend said that when her sister went to Japan she lost weight because she didn´t like the food but I like the food there and the Japanese beer.

  • I lost weight because of the change of lifestyle. You walk more than in AMerica. But that comes with just leaving America and going to a more normal developed country.

  • Yeah. When I´m at home I often take my car but there I walked a lot and took trains.

  • I wonder if Coca-cola will take over the world...

  • it has enough gas to be a politician

  • the whole logo/company or just the owner?

  • Yeah. Everyng is true about what you said. I havent been in Japan long but there is defenately small things here that add up and make you love Japan.

  • Yeah like that most Japanese are very helpful. I had to ask many people the first time that I went by myself with a normal train.

    I didn´t see many tourists. I mostly saw tourists in Akihabara and some Englishmen in the bar called Hub. I have to learn more Japanese before I go there next time because most Japanese suck at English except for my friends there.

  • They have food in most countries, too. :P

  • i dream about living in japan, its my dream country, can someone tell me the good and the bad about it for reference plz..

  • @ZEROflawgunner There is too much to tell. Just watch JVlogers videos and do research.

  • @ZEROflawgunner lol I dream about Japan too

  • wow you didnt mention germany
