[RoxastheHedghog]

This question is for tokyocooney, I'm looking fir a job for when I get out of college, and I'm looking a job that allows me to travel to japan. Wut would u sudgest? If anyone else wants to answer this question, feel free to answer :)

[believeindreams2day]

@RoxastheHedghog

Here on YouTube, please search for “Sammi's FAQ: About Japanese and life in Japan”(she recommends a site and TokyoCooney’s channel).

And also, “unrested Watch This First! JFAQ101”, “unrested ALT/Eikaiwa: JFAQ126” and “unrested Japan FAQ 26: buying a computer, private lessons, food service jobs”(he makes many videos about working in Japan).

Good luck!

[natskyle72]

[tokyocooney]

@ilovekonno I'm back in the states at the moment. Will be posting again as soon as I return.

[littlebearslam]

Cooney I can't wait till you make a new video!!

[Christosan88]

[buck10101]

"pay no attention to the group of school girls" LOL!!XD

[StudioNiten]

[1337Roy]

Hey were you eating at a starbucks at 715 on wednesday in shinjuku? i saw you if you were

[darkphoenixPT]

too bad I am arriving in Tokyo at the 3rd April, late for the party but still in time for the hanami ( I hope ).

[Turksemployee]

lawl I'm going 3 days right after x__x oh well there's still more to see

[ieatgluexxx]

I like your hair Kevin! The weather really looks awesome!

[Seebr115]

I believe I saw dopplegangers of your friend Ken 5 times in that video; There we're probably more but couldn't tell with all that rocking....mmmm, motion sickness.

[itsfortytwo]

The sun is out!!!!

See you in a few hours...

[OnlyDoniaUKnow]

haha you're hair is amazing + glasses = win!

Missing you over at blogtv see you around

[ShinichiroTV]

3月27日って花見にはまだ早いんじゃない？

[hippykiller1]

that is too far for me to travel by train...

[fazlemactheband]

haha thanks now i know how to get to yoyogi park when i go japan in july ^^ keep posting ur vids are awesome

[mattshaw78]

boy wish I had more money and vacation days I love it there. I been there twice and counting and want to live out there

[VedKu]

Your hair....... it's awesome.

[8787Gladiator]

Everyone except TkyoSam is welcome there, and some other lame americans. if you see him, kick his ass!

[maneneko]

What's up with your hair?? You're lookin more and more Japanese. I guess 8 (? 9?) yrs of being in Japan will do that for ya!

I've never been in Japan during Hanami! One day.. one day.

[cassienono]

Damn not geting to tokyo til April the 10th

:(

SUCKS!!

[nihonjohnny]

Your hairstyle makes you look like a rooster: Cock-a-doodle-doo!

[circa025]

hey i want to move to tokyo within the next couple years, any tips and advice?

[Omegalux]

@circa025

Do your research. Japan is like a whole different world. Understand that a lot of things will be hard to adjust to.

[Oliviaanncoronado]

OMG!! At first I was watching that plastic bag behind you then the people. Then I bust out laughing at 4:31, where that girl has her hair up in like two bun things! I have never seen any one with hair up like that! What with people and the masks? OH, that lady in 5:18 "if you have to walk like that you probably should find different shoes!" That tree is wicked cool(5:27)!!

Whoa, I think I had to much pop! It only like 11......43.......pm.......

[AndyGarcia82]

Sorry I wont be able to make it. I will be in New jersey! I do intend to go to Washington DC and have my own Hanami there! I will post it on my youtube page! =)

[sexydynamitelondon]

there's very nice sakura park in Newark

[Gorestabb]

I missed it because my visa ran out. Life just isn't fair.

[UbiquitousGeek]

Hey Cooney, FYI, The Black Keys put a new song up on MySpace. Sounds pretty good.

[MovieFusionist]

4:42

omg schoolgirls with school uniforms :3

damn im so envious of japan

[mondenkorn]

do you hear all the ravens`They sound great.. very different from the german ones.. loved it.

[mondenkorn]

I was thre last year around this time.. hanami with some Japanese n Germans. Was quite cool n funny. I wish I could go there this year too.. maybe I wouldn't be that frightened of the country this time ^^ first trip all alone to a country with language hard to learn in self practicing.. Greeting..

[tsukiwarabe]

aww! i don't come over til the 11th T-T

[JermaineATL]

*raves for school girls*

[Nieidanine]

Noooooooo!!!! My flight from Osaka to Finland leaves on 27th! Darnation!

[healingv1sion]

didn't know everyone was talking about the hair

I take back my comment.

[healingv1sion]

what is going on with the hair

motion city soundtrack

[monsterrrrrrrrr]

lol new hair ~yay~

[bleachedmud]

Dang that video walk-through was exciting and I can't even go. Seeing Japan like this is quite interesting, even if such a video seems simple.

Also, your look. You look like a 'hipster' now, or something, though I don't know exactly what 'hipster' means.

[dedede1324]

my friend wants wants to kick you in the face for some lols

[wolfxlord93]

i understood the japanese! yes ! im finally getting it lol

[McClogs]

are you making more money now that you're working as a host? :P

[dragonneeds]

Will this party be happening for the next 2 years? Because i will be an American foreign exchange student in Tokyo in 2012.

[ccr1965]

dang is it windy there or what. Those crows are pissed

[Laneholdenproduction]

AWESOME! If I weren't on house arrest then I would fly all the way from Texas to come meet everyone! But I'll probably just watch the live feed.

[Miyabiko]

ohhh yay for blog tv broadcast, im gonna watch =)

[JermaineATL]

i second this watching on blog tv....

[Miyabiko]

oh i wanna cry T-T

[jaiitup]

love the hair

[chellzimm]

Wish I could make it!

You just keep getting cuter and cuter...:)

[BusanKevin]

Hope you guys have a lot of fun partying it up under the flowers!

[Jehosh27]

It would be so weird to actually meet you, after watching your vids for so long.

[xLSDxUCSB]

new haircut! wtf!

[unbanane]

Also, do more walking through the city type vids, I reallly liked that. The japanese everyday life scenery is very nice and i'd love to see more of it along side your witty and smoothly delivered commentary.  I rarely comment but this shows just how strongly i feel about this issue...and the coolness of your hair in this vid.

[unbanane]

i gotta say your hair does look cool...

[alienboya]

ya his hair reminds me of Android 16 from dragon ball Z minus the orange hair tho. Cool tho

[superjared]

man... cooneysan. I wish i could come along.. but my nihongo exams are approaching. please do this again sometime!

[Neopblx]

Wow I should actully be able to go I am taking my first trip to Tokyo and will be there during the time you guys are holding this. I am so excited now.

[zakuras3]

looking good, just sayin'.

[ricekristii]

diggin' the new hair + glasses, Kevin.

you look awesome! :D

[banzaileah]

i think your hair looks cool (^_^)/

[Shadowdancer21b]

..because the men pee on the trees. I would've thought public urination was discouraged.

[Mrtitmice]

sounds cool! i wish i lived a lil closer :( (im in kyushu)

thumbs up none the less!

[esb420]

Good Lord Man! Some one gave you a swirly!

[TheTokyoted]

dude do it again next year at this time because i will most likely be in japan at that time also what is the legal drinking age in japan?

[capsu78]

Lurker/trip planner who has enjoyed the series since I found it a couple weeks ago.

I arrive Thursday and will set out to join the fun with some American made snacks... sorry, Taco Bell just doesn't travel well....

[TCFxAnimeGuy]

I hope that i can get the money together to attend Japanese Language classes next year. That way I will be in Tokyo for 2 years and be able to participate in a hanami event in person

[Usernamezj]

japanese language classes? u are going to transfer?

[mjbdisaster]

im going to sell my shit

[robadho]

5 stars for the sound effects on your video map!

[Radrey]

nice vid cooney. I hope I can make this one.

[Gimmeaflakeman]

Whaddaya mean HOPE?!

[Radrey]

@Gimmeaflakeman I'm trying to see if I can get out the work that I have. Time will tell.

[Ranact]

Awesome hair! It really fits you :]

[SumAznKid215]

Greetings from Philadelphia, PA, US. looks like its gonna be awsome 2010 Hanami, theres gonna be sakura viewing over here as well, hope you have fun

[starsandsea]

I'll be there! Looking forward to it. :) I hope it doesn't rain on the 27!

[junkienet]

I hope to see you then on the 27th .... I leave Tokyo on the 3rd April, so hopefully the weather is all good.

Oh I have brought snacks from Australia too :-P

LOZ

[JoeCubicle]

Hey Kevin, I so so wish I were in Tokyo, I'd be there for sure. Great idea on how to get to the party tree.

Overhead map with a dot on it is a good visual too.

[Lemnii]

I'm digging the makeover! :D

Hope the Hanami party is fun!

[ZeeBo1991]

Is there any other "tokyocooney-worldwide-meeting­s"?

Orelse I might join your guys next year at this event.

[edtomorrow]

LOL!!! Ignore those bastards!!! Funny!! I guess Im going to have to plan for the party next year... Being Im just now hearing about it....

[DeSjeft]

Did you trip and fell down a stairs? Nice hair lol

[Commitin]

Commitin will be there! Check out my video response from last year

[cxw00660]

How about putting some bicycles aside to go to rest room?

[dray3000]

ill go if i was in nipon with 5 kegs of beer

[Tokyogirl171]

dang wish I could go

Im hoping to go to Japan with in the next 3 or 4 years

[OS253]

Thanks for the invite! I would love to go!

[gripracer]

neat! I like how pumped you are.

[littlebearslam]

Tokyo Cooney! cant wait for your next video!!

[Cobracommander831]

Like mrhaider said, looking forward to checking out the live feed.

Have a great time man. =]

[enygma3d]

Awesome. I'll be there with the wife. If it gets moved to April 3rd, unfortunately, I won't be there. I'll be in Kyoto but returning to Tokyo on the 4th.

[downwithwebby]

Nice hair man

[DarkNSF]

SCHOOL GIRLS!!!!!!!!!!!!

[pschroeter1]

I'll be there in spirit, since I live in northern Ohio. Since the crab apple in our backyard blooms in May, I guess that makes it my Hanami.

I think you should give a nod to fall's Hanami counterpart Momijigari.

[mrhaider]

Has anyone ever told you that would be an amazing 50 radio announcer?

Wish I could come! My Japanese is lacking and I'm stuck in Montreal but I'm definitely looking forward to the live feed!

[zeithalter]

I would go if I could but I can't because I'm too poor to fly from America to Japan.

[StatuesBleedingGreen]

LIVE CAST! That's awesome!

[melonsoda24]

I love the hair!

[yoruninoru]

looking forward to it; see you there.

[tophearthgrl]

you look good in this video! nice hair.

[mitsubishi777]

@shironbo7441

You're pathetic. If you want to say derogatory words to foreigners, don't pretend to be a Japanese. I am sure you only want to damage Japanese people's reputation.

[psmtheman]

Definitely Not this year.... BUT MAYBE! !!!! Next yeAR!  I hope I hope I hope I hope! I hope i can get there ... very soon! Eventually!!! I'm sure I will eventually get there!!! Crap!!!! Man.... I can't wait!

[Clarklikescereal2]

ha the camera moved from the wind XD

[psmtheman]

Which Hub in SHIBUYA?!?!

[qualqui]

Awesome directions,...lol....the part where, the bathroom, the womens' line is neverendin' while the mens' is short, cause the men can pee on the trees,...lol....lmao,.....luv to go but one problem i'm here in mexico and no plans at the moment for travel! =P

[dreamypoppy]

lookin good kevin! nice new hair style!

[buccigami777]

Someone has been using Gatsby's.......and I think I got motion sickness...

Also sad I miss this by a little over month... I won't be in Japan till May :(

[PinkelefantZ3]

Hahaha!

[Fuzex91x]

lol i'm in the vid, saw cooney that day but i didn't notice he was filming. Will definately come.

[zerosonico]

I left Tokyo a few days ago, so no chance.

Comedy recommendation: watch this vid with CC audio transcription ON.

[kmah88]

i wish i could come ~ i've enjoyed watching so many j-vloggers the past few months. would be nice to say so in person. but... i'm not going to japan until may. at least i AM going though!! woot~ tickets are booked!

[Gabypon]

bahh make it April 10th so I can go Y_Y

[aerisundeadx]

Nice hair lol :]

[lechicken]

[lechicken]

[AngelzLi]

[uglyengineer]

[KonekochanFangirl]

[ichigojello]

sooo wish i could go!! i will definitley try and tune in tho! hope you guys get good weather!

[SenseiTedderz]

I would laugh if the bag was still on the ground once everyone got there lol.

[Graehaus]

Sound fun, sadly, I am half or a whole world away... :(

[AcEoFhEarTS1991]

think positive...you can only be half way around the world (: cause if you are further away on one half you are closer on the the other half lol

[SenseiTedderz]

Wooo Hanami time!! I'll be there in two years!!! lol

[3FlowersOnTheMoon]

I can't believe i'm gonna missin' this party by mere hours... oh, my god, Why!

[The2ndKrezzz3]

nice hair, bad sideburns!

[GoreTorn16]

I would love to go!! But I dont live in Tokyo (as much as I would love to be there!)

[AkitanTV]

One, I want your frames. Two, I wish all directions came with a walk through. Three, hope to see your broadcast, and ya'll have fun now!

[IMKAMUI]

Love the hair Kevin!

XD

too bad i have school... and no money....

[mjbdisaster]

school is more valuble

[IMKAMUI]

@mjbdisaster Yes it is lol. Hopefully I get to go to Japan this summer. :)

[Belenor]

flowers, creepy people from the internets....and beer. man I wish I could be there :(

[Christosan88]

I want to go. I would teach English and bring all the hot school girls through, cause girls just wanna have FUHUN

[lateblossom]

Sweet  you're having it on the day I move.

[tonygaijin]

sweet!

[SaskatchewanLindsay]

Unfortunately I am not in Japan and not able to attend, however, if I were planning to attend the information on how to get there would be extremely helpful.

[HiroKun10]

Damm not in Japan and when your streaming like its 2am or something here but anywho hopes it a good Hanami Party

[mspatti]

Who is your stylist? They really see you.

[Yelalexander]

Can I cry ? hey can I ? Okay no I'm crying ! I really want to be part of...this party...but I'm in Paris xD

[chibicabbit]

I am selfishly hoping the date gets changed to April 3rd, since I'm already booked to go to the Tokyo International Anime Fair that day :( Damn, my only chance of a Youtube Hanami Party and I already have plans. All the more irnoic since I've had nothing to do all Spring Break and then all these social events come along at once :P I'll see if I can make it, but I'm not sure.

[RagingReaper101]

Jeez. If only I could go...

[1337DrGonzo]

Wish i could come, maybe if i start swimming now . . .

[XxDarkDiazxX]

Great idea to have a broadcast of the event this time, it will help give a sense of what its like to be among all the J-vloggers.

[henry954]

I wish I cold go but I live in South Florida. Why did some people have surgeon masks on? Is it because the H1N1 flu or something?

[OliviaAlexandriaAhh]

@henry954 no... go to this video .. just add this to the end of the youtube url /watch?v=geRV7voPh_0 .. thejapanchanneldcom explains it better than i could

[henry954]

@OliviaAlexandriaAhh

Thank you!

[OliviaAlexandriaAhh]

@henry954

no problem :)

[SwtMsT]

you changed your hair!! Looong burns man

[rickyruffle]

[qu7aker]

[hollyrae2784]

shucks! that's the day I arrive in Japan so I'll miss out! :(

[MurdocLC]

Hahaha. Aah, wish i could join.

And i like ur new(?) style Kevin.

[sargeantscigar]

Nice video, especially the directions! All the blurring on the faces must have taken ages it doesnt do it automatically, im impressed!

[Lizardguy3]

is it just me, or did Kevin get some for of outward apperance change?

[DeadForestWalk]

Hey Kevin, even though I'm not in Japan, and moreover too young to sip beer, I want to hangout haha.

Anyway, you should think about investing on camera stabilizers, so it's not all shakey when you walk.

Nice video anyway :)

[jvega419]

I can't get there in person, but I will be tuning in to the Blog show. Thanks Kevin

[Vinniebearinpa]

Cute girl alert at 4:28!

[itsfortytwo]

Hey ho :)

Thanks for the directions! I am looking forward to meeting all of you at YT Hanami 2010! Maybe I will have my first own video up by then ;) After all I am already in Tokyo for a day and a half :P
