Japan Now! #17 - Natsu Matsuri

[ferretyluv]

*2* flavors?!

You baka gaijin!

[DarkDiamondStudios]

Thanks so much for watching. I'm glad you guys could enjoy it rather than me toss the episode.

[AbridgedNaruto14]

I'm having a bit of trouble finding your stuff on 918 the fan, could you give me a link to you content?

[DarkDiamondStudios]

You're having a hard time finding it because it is no longer there. I formerly produced episodes 14, 15 and 16 while contributing to that website but I left the site in August. I then enhanced and re-released all of my episodes here on youtube, screwattack and thatguywiththeglasses.

All future content which is now in production will not be posted at 918 the fan.

[AbridgedNaruto14]

@DarkDiamondStudios

Alright, thank you. Keep up the great content.

[vegettosonlab]

Hey, I just started watching your show today. I like what I see. You should do an episode about Tak Sakaguchi. Isn't he popular over there? I like the movies he's in. One of my favorite actors. :P

[DarkDiamondStudios]

Hey there, thanks for the suggestion. I haven't seen him too much but I am sure somebody over here know and likes him. Thanks for watching!

[willgruff]

懐かしいな。。。

[DarkDiamondStudios]

Incredibly. I take it you were once in Japan? :D

[chefprotoss]

I missed you guy

[DarkDiamondStudios]

You too holmes.

[waffletehnut]

YES! a new episode! Awesome :D

[CrusnikZerosama]

yeah Kaze back! ^_^ waiting for so long for this ep!

Was more informative and a bit less funny then your other vids but i did learn a lot, so thanks for the upload!

[kcys]

yup... not so funny but very informative episode.

Nevertheless, great show as always.

Greetings from Poland.

[ScottMarshalllaw]

You have been greatly missed Kaze. Thanks for another awesome episode...and by the way, welcome back!!!

[ninpou90]

Mr. Kaze! Welcome back. We've missed you.

I LOOOOVE Japan Now. ^^

[DarkDiamondStudios]

<3 Thanks so much!

[gasparnq]

Damn Mark, I thought you where gone for good!

But with all those family and work ordeals, its more then understandable.

Just hope that no 4 months hiatus follows this episode, these inside looks just make me want to go to Japan more :)

[DarkDiamondStudios]

There won't be :D I know it has happened in the past but I won't be letting you guys down. I'm here for good.

[L0LhahaDEAD]

Woo! I'm glad to see Japan Now making a return. By the way, if you're going to change the format make sure you keep the theme song. It wouldn't be JN without it!

[DarkDiamondStudios]

I couldn't agree more. The song will remain though i'd like to get it remixed in time. For now though I will be using less still images during the song and going with something that doesn't need to be updated or maintained. Having people help make new Ha! cards every week/2 weeks is a pain lol.

[Husse67]

Ah, finally! Been waitin for something new from you! ^_^

Yay~

[BenjaminEllett]

your daughters so cute :P even at the end when she steals some of your "drink"

[DarkDiamondStudios]

It counted! Haha and thanks. When I initially filmed that I had no idea she was responsible for the spoon falling nor trying to steal some of my kakigori.

[DerBertRam]

Whew I was getting worried, I thought you just stopped making them without telling us.

[DarkDiamondStudios]

A lot of things got in the way. Trying to buy a house and sell an apartment sucks. My boss was gone all of August so I was responsible for teaching most of the classes at my school as well.... last bits of time were stolen by WoW. WoW no longer steals that time and my apartment preparation is nearing its end. Time for more video making without pause.

[chilly444]

HOLY CRAP i thought you fell off of japan man its great to have you back.

-kirby

[HybridRain]

HOLY CRAP 4 MONTHS!!!!! i shall demise you!!!!!

anyway glad to have ya back! XD

[DarkDiamondStudios]

Nooooooooo.

[Gervise]

Alright! New Japan Now!! Good to have you back, Looking forward to seeing more :D

[knightofhyrule730]

Its about time! I come visit you in Japan and have a blast and then you fall off the world! :O Welcome back. Japan Now! Doesn't "need" comedy. I like learning about normal things too :D

[DarkDiamondStudios]

Damn, so sorry I missed you coming to Japan or we would have karaoke'd it up. Send me a mail sometime about your trip over here.

[knightofhyrule730]

...I spent the afternoon with you and ate dinner with you and your family. You missed nothing!

[DarkDiamondStudios]

Oh snap. Didn't know that was your youtube name. Lot's to talk about later then ^^

[knightofhyrule730]

Sure! Skype me any time. I'm usually either at my PC, cooking, dealing with LF stuff or in class XD

[magistered]

hell yeah!! its been a long time but its worth the wait, nice to have you back!

[saitosan87]

Nice to see Japan Now! back ^^

Great Episode :3

[snicksnack666]

Welcome back dude, long time no see, I think I would only would have 1 flavor on that Kaki Gori and it looks tasty

[DarkDiamondStudios]

Usually 1 flavor is enough but I am a fan of "red" and "blue" flavoring. Sure when it gets all melted down the uniqueness of each is lost but still quite tasty. ^^

[DarkNeoRoxas]

Finally a new japan now, I'm glad your finally back kazi, I can't wait to go to Japan

[CMKGraphics]

I missed this show so badly lol

[DarkDiamondStudios]

Sorry for the wait ^^. Lots more on the way.

[CMKGraphics]

Yay!

[KanashimiTenshi]

Haha, this was really interesting to see and honestly, it was nice to watch a Japan Now. I missed them (or maybe that's my lack of attention span at work)! Anyway, it was really cute to see all the children dancing and the food looked delicious. Your daughter is still as adorable as I remember from past videos~! :D

[DarkDiamondStudios]

Thanks for watching Kana and my daughter says thank you. Yea, I am getting back on the movie making wagon again. Hopefully it provides a few people with entertainment and opens myself up to fodder for the "rawr you R weaboo" crowd. I am sure they have been bored as well.

[Cyborcat]

That looks like loads of fun. ^.^

Seeing the shaved ice desert reminded me of an episode of Ranma 1/2 where (I think) someone accidentally put soy sauce on theirs. Eww.

[DarkDiamondStudios]

Haha, I recall that as well. Meh, to each their own though consuming large quantities of soy sauce will kill you o.O

[linkyoo]

I'm going to Japan in August ! Yatta!

Any way, great vid like always, the sight of the festival made me teary... ! You rock !

[hebbazz]

Good to see that you still are making videos! So when are you planning to release the new format of japan now?

[DarkDiamondStudios]

Extremely soon. I am house searching and helping to prepare my apartment to sell while making the new format mind you so hopefully it will not take too much time.

Next week the new Final Fantasy drink series releases and I am hoping to have that new video along with the updated format ready for then. Thanks for watching, commenting and rating :D If you have any questions feel free to mail any time.
