Macs aren't cheaper >:0! They're better too :).

[TkyoSam]

the one I got was

[PiedmontEddy]

Cheaper or better?

[TkyoSam]

cheaper, it an older demo model. Macs are great and I love the OS, but I bought a PC with double the processor speed, ram, and a 1000 gig HDD with a 21" screen for only $900. Thats shit you just can't do with a mac...bitches

[PiedmontEddy]

Holy shit! You got all that for $900. That's very rare to hear about a deal that good. I bought myself an iMac recently with almost the same specs as yours. I paid around $2,100 for it. Kind of feel like I got jipped now. What's your PC model?

[poli21]

@PiedmontEddy lol dont make me laugh

[Pony43211]

Japan is Awsome was there this summer love them anime lookin girls enjoy the life brotha I hope one day ill be there.

[TkyoSam]

what?

[newyorkjapan]

i love this video

ladies...im old enough hahaa

guys im old enough dont touch my penis

trust me i dont

love ur vids though

[jiggerlo]

lol i am def staying classy and black baby. you seem like lots of fun. if i get my job in japan i'll try to look you up for a beer.

i think it was good of you to tell those trying to move to japan to do research. no lie, if you want to do anything you have to put some work in it.

[TkyoSam]

Too many people ask me stupid questions all the time that they could simply google. Mostly for attention I think, but still annoying none the less. If you are going to making such a huge leap of moving to another country there is no excuse for being lazy, lol they need to do the work themselves, hell I did, they can too ;)

[jiggerlo]

haha that's so true. chances are if anyone can find your video there is no reason why they can't find obvious "how to's" on a miliion jillion websites on how to get your skankatella over to the big J. google is our friend. love your vids man. i'm gonna give you a shout out on my blog!

[KalionWoW]

You got very good video's you should try to become a youtube partner

[robotpanda77]

Finally! Every dude in Japan from the US is a total dork, but you are awesome. The opening really had me laughing. You do us proud good sir.

[TkyoSam]

You are the number one subscriber after a comment like that^^

[gaijin140]

Samuel Jackson is on the light side just like all the jedi.

[Ihatemyusernamemore]

I reckon the best way to lose weight is the way I did, run, the more you run the better you get and unlike Japanese it's a very fast process (perhaps 2 months)

[IHaveNoNameRawr]

"Yeah kevin I know you're watching this video"

Holy fuck that freaked me out at first...

[paxfiat]

woooh skittles!

[ArgentoDude24]

Faq me! lol

[adonist7]

Good luck in losing the weight man! keep at it..

just remember to eat clean and about 6 times a day... and do lots of running/weight lifting

Im thinking about moving to japan, would be such a cool experience

[ciaran123]

Thanks for the comments dude.. ya those 3OH!3 dudes have blown up.. but anyways dude when I make it there we are going to put some Colorado in Japan haha..

[Woohoopanda]

have you ever seen anyone play Monter Hunter Portable 2nd g? or have you ever played it?

[TkyoSam]

dude that game kicks ass!

Yeah man, one of my friends let me try his, kinda complicated, but fun :D

[Woohoopanda]

Yeah I've been watching shit on Youtube all day about it and I'm going to buy the new one for the Wii once it comes out in America lol. I'm going to go buy the one for psp today, I hope the servers are still up so i can play online lol

[HailRasec]

How long do you plan staying there ??

[TkyoSam]

long time, this place kicks ass after all :D

[soccerrocks15]

Do you think you will be there long enough to plan on getting a perminant res.?

[TkyoSam]

yup, plenty of resources about this online for people to know about.

Just google bitches

[littlenekojapan]

I just started using Imovie to make my first Vlog of exchange trip to Japan. I subscribed to you, I enjoy your videos =D

So you're a English teacher. I want to major in japanese and minor in visual arts in College and become a ESL/ASL teacher in Japan. So I like watching vlog of people in Japan. I agree Google is God =D

[TkyoSam]

Kool, well, English teaching is a great way to get your foot in the door through immigration, but don't take it as a "serious" profession", just do it til you get fluent in Japanese, then the fun really begins :D

[6663000]

good video

[tekhda89]

You kiss your mother with that mouth? haha..

[Woohoopanda]

what systems do you have and how does your game collection look?

[FinsternisSan]

Awesome for the health blog xD

I'm trying to go to japan for college for a few years, hopefully if tuition doesn't kill me completely~ 8D

[tokyojosh]

WINDOWS MOVIE MAKER IS WHERE ITS @! Tokyo josh says so

[TkyoSam]

[Sillybehr88]

[TkyoSam]

[KamiKazmeChan]

ほんとうです=本当です, すごい!

[Mattenlamb]

[frosty321]

Chris Farley died of a drug overdose so don't worry about your weight bro. Black Black. :)

[miscpaul]

So your saying it's okay for Sam to get fatter?

[frosty321]

Not really, I was just clarifying the point on Chris Farley, everyone should try and stay in shape.

[gatorvalle]

hahahaaha "stay black" Sam is the man!!

[Soteniliene]

Mad props for health blog.

[AbramBergstrom]

Maybe someday. Just to visit.

[AbramBergstrom]

Hey man you probably don't remember me, but I met you when I was with Kats and Sarah and our friend Summer in Ichihara. This was just before I left to come back to the States. It seems like you're doing quite well over there. Take care and all the best to you!

[TkyoSam]

oh yeah, you lived in the apt.that the girl that died lived in ;)

I also you remember that you speak 3 languages fluently.

You coming back to teh J-land?

[smoggydoggy]

You're alright.

[KARTWON]

you freaking guy. you had nujabes at the start of this video.

GREAT JOB!

[ANDYDAVIRGO]

BTW, your videos are getting more and more helpful! Thanks and great vid! Pick up some Japanese girls in a vid next time would be interesting to see how the girls are.

[ANDYDAVIRGO]

What's up, Sam? I have another question for you. Do you know any free japanese penpal websites?..been looking around and they always have some bait and switch...

[Fellshadow]

Man, this one video takes forever to load...

Anyways, I live in Tokyo, so if you're ever interested in hanging out, give me a shout!

[jokobie]

O.k here is a question... How often do your friends and family get to go down to Japan and visit you, or do you go to them? Thanks and see you later Sam!

[TkyoSam]

I haven't been back to the U.S since coming here and don't plan on it (mostly due to my only vacation time is during peak season and the plane tickets are really expensive).

But, like 5 friends from the states have come to see me since I moved here and thats been fun ;)

[mangadood]

Samuel L. was on the light dude! =D

I want skittles! D=

[emill5318]

Greetings from rainy Sweden.You fuckin' rule dude, keep up the good work. Peace out!

[TkyoSam]

lol, thanks bro

[sexymdlman]

Hey you're in Japan! Eating healthy to lose weight will be a piece of cake.. (no pun intended)

[IzumiBrisingr]

piece of cake... XXXDDDDDDDD why do you torture him so? XPP

[Kirthal]

good luck w/ the weight loss, but the regiment you've set will be hard to maintain. for breakfast take in some carbs + protein. breakfast will kickstart your metabolism for the day. also, try doing 4-6 small meals(no... not 46, nice try) the idea is to keep your metabolism at a steady rate throughout the day, by always giving your stomache something to digest. in the morning I always have a bowl of allbran(w/ non-fat milk) then a couple hours later I'll have a protein bar.

[Kirthal]

dude, I loved that when you said, "join the side" that should be your new motto ^^

[Daycomb]

Well said about the moving to Japan part! And everything else for that matter!

[CinemaSounds]

nice vid - but stop procrastinating get on that 'Tkyosam FAG' video

[MystcKhai]

Ganbatte Sam! You rock man! Seriously, you really inspire me because you made it to Japan and you are progressing with your life and the culture and the language there. Good job man, and always remember, we are always behind you! Oh, and I am currently studying Japanese at school; I'm on my second year out of four years in High school so I am looking forward to it, peace! xD

[Chatetris]

............yeah...........

[gametip]

Good FAQ Sam, yo I'll actually be in Tokyo for 4 days in September. We gotta meet up bro.

[TkyoSam]

when ya comin?

[LeoTokyo]

ahh Narita, on my way to america we stopped in Japan, at Narita, I ahrdly remeber but i remember enough :p if i ever get to go to Japan, ill be sure to start vlogging aswell!

[JasonsinJapan]

old enough for what? Please explain! :D

Am I old enough?  Please tell me that I am!!

PS - thanks for the shout out in the descrip box - we gotta do a collab type thing some time! :)

[TkyoSam]

Your videos are great and I love selecting them and putting them into playlists so I can watch them while I study. Your videos are soooooo friggin informational! I LUV STUDY!!!

lol,

no problem man, You definetely deserve waaaay more subscribers than I do ;)

You coming to Kanto any time in the near future?

[myargonauts]

I hope to do some serious traveling in what will most likely be my last year here. I might be coming to Osaka/Kyoto in September or October - take advantage of some of those 3 day weekends we have coming up. I'll for sure let you know! :D

[Tipio16]

I dont get the skittles joke

[TkyoSam]

i don't either...

[imnot1000sure]

are you really a stripper?????

[saigonc]

the mac was cheaper? wtf?? macs are never cheaper than pcs

[TkyoSam]

got a discount, nice big discount

[shotamerican]

well said.

[cafekawaii]

Are you in a JET Program or a similar program?

[DreamingofSle3p]

Good stuff, as always. People always underestimate the power of Google.

I'd also suggest that people visit Japan before they make the decision to move here permanently. Japan is far different from the fantasy land that some people hope/think it is.

I came here a year ago for 2 weeks and decided I couldn't live and work here. I'm back a year later for 3 months and I still have the same opinion. Makes a good vacation spot, though. :D

[IzumiBrisingr]

skittles.. XD

[alexvpaq]

xD This one was worth money!

Sam, ask money from skittles because you made them like the bestest random publicity ever XD

Can't stop laughing

[TkyoSam]

hehehe, damn right :D

[ninvestmoon]

your old enough, huh...huh??? LOL, JK! =^_^=

[atomicboyx]

But sam how do you use a japanese style toilet?

But sam cant you pick up a hooker?

But sam how do i meet a power ranger?

But sam how you stay black?

[FabulousFabu]

1. you squat down

2. they have S.T.D'S

3. you die and go to heaven.

4. stay with a black grandmother for 5 years

[TkyoSam]

hahahaha! What HE said :D

[retroforever]

Can you imagine what kind of teacher he is? I bet he makes the kids laugh. RORL

[outlaw345]

Nice video Sam!! Very informative ... and stuff, ya... keep makin those vids and good luck with the diet thing! =p

[migget159]

i can't wait to move to japan...but its not going to be anytime soon. probably 7-10 years.

[Jan8888]

NIce! i will contact you immediately when i come to tokyo for a visit =>. And btw, Good vid ;D!

[SquireCD]

I'm all about Macs, but CHEAPER?!?! Impossible!

[Mattenlamb]

I hope you get to read this comment, but your videos have helped me tremendously in my research of where to visit and eventually live. I am confident I'll be visiting Japan in May of next year and once I'm a certified teacher in the US I'm gonna grab my Visa and head to the J island

[MilesRZ]

so obtain my bachelors, become genetically altered or marry a Japanese woman, whichever come first

[AndySan]

Mac? Cheaper?! Whaaaht?

[i3eb0p]

Kick ass video man. Also read your blogs and it's B.A. as well. You mentioned you have a Myspace but you never said where to find it.

"I can't believe it's not awesome" Lawl.

またね。

[Andrewxx20]

[rodgerswan]

SKITTLES!!!

[tokyocooney]

Swan! Your moviemaker is getting dusty, and my eyes are getting moist... post something before I cry

[TkyoSam]

[rodgerswan]

both of you will be happy to know i've got 2 new videos in the works... and both of you are in them! should have the first one out soon.... :)

[liacart]

Im joining the Sams-Dark/Light-side thingy :O

[bjeramos]

angry tkyosam! haha

"if you're really going to take the time and effort to move to a foreign country where you don't speak the freakin' language . . ."

i'd like to see a video of you speaking nothing but japanese haha especially in a convenience store or a restaurant

my question is

"there are pick-up basketball games in yoyogi park. whaddaya say about going there to get your exercise on?"

you might even meet the son of one of the earth, wind, and fire members, like i did

[TkyoSam]

I wanna do that, but I don't know how to put subtitles in the videos :(

As for the pick up games in Yoyogi, don't know :p

[bjeramos]

it would be fun playing ddr in shibuya/shinjuku all the time but i don't think i'd have the salary for it

[KiDROBOT187]

Tsurugi No Mai... hell yeah!

[smiley62]

cool deal

[broans]

So we can't touch you, but you can touch Isaac?? NOT FAIR! HAHAHAHAA!!!

[BusanKevin]

Great stuff...i like your point about folks who want to come over doing their own research! Couldn't agree with you more...if you can't do a Google search...how can you survive on another continent??

Cool beans...catch ya!

[TheHusky9]

i cant stand people who constantly ask me what to do next! Use initiative!

[Gimmeabreakman]

Mix a Lot Awesome!?!??! LOL!

Hold enough!?

Here's my question.

Uh..when the time comes? Viagra? Yes or no?

(A lot of us here are criminals too. I smuggle chunky white hip hop skateboarders into Japan to work as sex slaves.)

BTW you still owe me $3,430.

[TkyoSam]

viagra, of course, ALWAYS viagra ;)

[Hikosaemon]

Dude, nice FAQ - I've been sending my nihongo-bandits to your nihongo vid too. It's not only a good vid, but near as damn to the way I did it so your vid is a service on its own right there. I get some of the other questions too, like "how do I get to Japan" and stuff - "Self Reliance!" Amen bro. I think that's really it. If or when I get anywhere near the number of obscene fan emails you do, I'm going to use this as a model.

Peace

[TkyoSam]

"If or when I get anywhere near the number of obscene fan emails you do,"

lol, come on, i know you get plenty, especially from hawt bitches :P

lulz

[kuro1911]

nice vid sam, ill be sure to msg you when i go there

[ElevenColors]

BTW thanks for the video on immersion and learning. I've been referring people to that.

[ElevenColors]

1:10 until he said penis! Was anyone else thinking of a betting pool?

[TkyoSam]

lulz

[akaiYaMa9]

one last question, why the hell are you up at this time? its monday aug. 25 5:12am in the mid west. im guessing its tuesday aug 26 8:12pm in japan?

[TkyoSam]

7:30pm

[wststreet]

lol 1st viewer =))

i didn't notice you and tokyocooney have similar sense of humor, i think you have different sense of humor, both good

[TkyoSam]

when we hang out its similar, not neccesarily our videos though

[wststreet]

oh, i only had the videos on my mind when you said that
