Tokyo Swan: Unseen Swan 7 (FINAL)

[xurok]

RIP you looked like a really nice guy

[Prayforthewolf]

Rodger, you've accomplished so much. You changed the world... And that's more than most people can say for themselves.

R.I.P.

[andIcanwritetonight]

I think that what Rodger set out to do with his videos and the intentions of wanting to make others happy or inspired through watching them has certainly been achieved. Many thanks to his family for keeping his channel up and running, I urge any of you who have just discovered Rodger's videos to look up a few more or visit his channel. Hopefully you will feel inspired and happier for having discovered them.

[sauron1grenoble]

why the heck does shit have to happen?

[venster2006]

Roger was the best R.I.P

[Draidic]

You can really see the emotions running through him at the end. He REALLY was a tokyo swan :) RIP

[KAIBUTSU82]

Rest in peace Roger! Your videos have been an inspiration!

Yasuraka ni nemuritamae!

[LynxCoding]

Awesome!

[LittlePinky82]

Aw that was very sweet about all your friends, saying goodbye etc. I've enjoyed your video's and they've been fun to watch and see what it's like being a college student in Japan. One of my fav video's is still when you're in a town going by adult stores. LOL I just like your expressions and stuff hehe. Loved your Santa hat. Loved the tracks you played too. Your friend did great and is very talented! I love that track too. Very sad at the end. :( Love the end! :D

[LoveHateHeroAmity]

great video and happy birthday dude!

[misterbig]

I loved the ending =D!

[medavog]

love it!

[mackincheese]

Thanks so much for all the time you took to put these vids on here, Rodger. I've been a regular Tokyo Swan viewer for well over a year now, and I've really enjoyed watching them. Oh, and my friend says to say that your shenmue episode was his favorite! Thanks, man!

[Rman26]

Good stuff. I've been watching for a while. Thanks for the vids. I just got back to Japan myself. Hope you can make it back to the Yokosuka area sometime.

[aaronranmafan]

Dude the beard and mustache looks amazing on you! Keep it!

[Atenejin]

God, its just so great!! Thank you for sharing your memories with us. You have also reminded me many things from my moments in Japan! Were the "mos burger boy" clips taken near Tamachi station? I have the best memories in Tamachi!!

Great job, Rodger!! Thank you.

[rodgerswan]

indeed, many of those clips were taken just outside tamachi station!

[Daycomb]

I totaly understand your feelings, I was near droping a tear there for a second :P

[AkimboJoe]

Keterol rocks. I know everyone wants to see more Japan, but it can never be the same, just keep up with those people and I say... On to a new country!

[Yuenpl]

man i've really enjoyed all your videos!

I wish you best luck, hope you'll be able to go back go Japan soon:)

[NichiBeiTrader]

Well, you now have the Japan bug. And like an incurable disease - once you have it, it never goes away.

Well done, Rodger. Best of luck to ya.

[JayHiding]

Best Unseen Swan yet, have you ever thought of Audio or Video podcasting? hope the JET program works out.

[rodgerswan]

earlier in the year i toyed around with the idea of a podcast, but my plate is full with video making at the moment haha. i've got to start work on the new series soon...

[OnMyWay2TokyoU]

dude...Going Jedi??? Dude that shit is too profound. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAH...brai­n exploides. True that brother, about living in japan. Ok, putting a smile on my face might take more than that, and it is bwyond your abilities to make me smile, so yah. Your totally anime geeking out. Nice music. Why didn't you go to Ice cream City with TokyoCooney?

[mygirlhiro]

[abrstargo]

Thank you for posting another "Unseen Swan." I like your videos. Hopefully you can go to Japan very soon (through JET or any other programs) then post many new videos again. ビデオ、どうもありがとう。 :)

[maverick9900]

I can definitely see a difference in your personality when I compare your first episode with these latest ones. Although I caught the series midthrough, I really enjoyed them all. Good luck with the JET Programme and here's hoping to see more future videos!

Oh yah, and I should be taking a trip to Japan within a year, so if you happen to be there, we should have a couple drinks.

[Is4536]

I have to sya the last bit was pretty emotional and very refreshing. I don't how to explain it, but it's like am feeling quite emotional as well too. Also, Swan's definitely quite the ladies man too lol. HOPE EVERYTHING GOES WELL FOR YOU and live your life to the fullest.

[Alakard]

Ah nice ending there mate. I've been watching your series for a while and just wanted to say it was entertaining to watch. Hope the JET program works out.

[kanarakuotoko]

[christophersoul]

FIN!

Beautiful end to it all Swan.

The Swanaholics will just have to hope for a "Second Season".

And can't wait for more reviews!

[rodgerswan]

the swanaholics... haha i like that

[ughat]

Very well put together! The series was wrapped up so nicely with a little bit of sentimental spice and simple happy ending! Thank you. So what is coming next?

[Spinaltapped333]

*wish you the

[Spinaltapped333]

Ohh. That last minute 15 or so was tragic. This video series pretty much convinced me to study abroad in Japan. Great video series and I wish the the best in the future.

[jcbeanie]

OH ROOOOODG

That final bit made me cry so much, with the slowmo and the black and white and the FRIENDS.

I'm sooo honoured to have made it into the final clip of Tokyo Swan ever!

And bless your little face at the airport when you were leaving... that's exactly how I felt, too.

But just think, in September we'll all be back together again as long as we ganbaru ^^

Damn, still the tears flow.

Love you loads, man.

[NektariosGeorge]

Great stuff man, and good luck with whatever life brings your way.

[jfiggy18]

AWSOME VID LOVED THE SERIES MAN

[Snifit]

You doing the no shave november? cuse your beard is growing!! just couple more weeks untill december! Great video thanks for posting!

[rodgerswan]

haha actually, at work we did a no shave october and I am starting to like how the beard is coming along haha...

[freeofgreed]

wow this was a perfect ending i like how you ended it with a very sad clip and then shifted to a very happy clip which shows that theres hope and that the good times always overshadow the bad. and seriously your voice was on steroids because it changed so much from the first eisode to the last.

[rodgerswan]

thanks, yeah i guess it does end on quite the positive note! yeah, my voice has changed so much over the past year... but I still can't get over how different I look as well. (thankfully i think it's all for the better haha).

[freeofgreed]

don't get me started on how your appearance changed....

[jackgordon38]

awesome series you have made, hope you make another in time but as always keep up the good work man.

[JapanPlz]

Your series has been wonderful. Don't ever doubt that it didn't have a purpose. I truly enjoyed everyone of those episodes dearly. Everytime i question myself if i can truly learn Japanese and move to Japan, your videos always make that doubt go away. You have truly inspired me to keep going, and I thank you for that.

[rodgerswan]

fantastic, thanks for the kind words and best of luck to you!

[Benjapanman]

More often than not I find myself wanting to rate you videos more than the normal five stars. I really appreciate all of the videos you made and are going to make. Final Rating for the Tokyo Swan Series- 10 out of 5 stars!

[mongobaer]

your a good guy. thanks for sharing your time with us! marcel

[ccr1965]

Sadly, this is the last "Unseen Swan", but I guarantee it won't be the last "Tokyo Swan". If you're like me, you long for the place. I've never been anywhere else that "calls" to me like Japan. Thanks for all the great videos you've posted, it is like getting to be there for a few minutes every time you posted one. Thanks for all the great footage and the J-horror reviews. To-te-mo tano-she kata-desu.

[ccr1965]

Hey Swan, when are you going back to Japan? I am going for Christmas/New Year's in a few weeks. 21 days in Japan!!! Do you get homesick for Tokyo like I do? I love going every year, but leaving always rips my heart out. It's well woth the heartache though.

[rodgerswan]

I'm hoping to be back next fall, but that's awesome that you will be there next month. I'm sure you'll have a fantastic time!

[dinoscom]

nice beard!

[projektmayhem]

Beard-tastic!

[rodgerswan]

thanks haha, yeah I can't believe how different I look today then in these old clips... wow!

[vicepresidentfru1tly]

As sad is it is for me to see this wonderful series come to an end, i must say that you have inspired me to stop simply dreaming of Japan and start making genuine plans to return. I had almost forgotten how amazing the neon city was before i started vicariously following your travels. It is now my life's ambition to return once more to japan! Thank you so much for allowing me to tag along so to speak. It was fun!

[rodgerswan]

awesome, wishing you all the best in your adventures!

[MikeySSC]

I dont think there's any question about whether or not people have enjoyed your journey.

youtube japan legend right there.

[rodgerswan]

thank you very much!
