RODGER WAS THE MAN!!! I would like to thank the Swan Family for having these videos posted. I cant believe its been a year, I know its probably been a tough yr but I hope you guys are doing well & Rodger would of wanted you to celebrate his life and always remember the great times you had with him. I never knew Rodger personally, but you can tell he was a very kind and loving person. You guys definitely did a Great job in raising him =)
Just an amazing guy who loved life to the fullest. Can't believe it's gonna be a year soon doesn't feel like it at all. Rodger I hope you know how much your missed buddy. I think you were everyone's best friend despite not knowing or meeting many of us. See you next time buddy.
Awww man.I wondered why I hadn't seen new videos posted in a while and then I saw this in my updates and what a totally depressing thing to find out.Man I felt so sad seeing him in the sonic car and then laughed a few seconds later when he goes "Iwate Swan, here in America World" And how often did we get to see Roger not holding a camera?
This was nice,but so depressing at the same time. I had asked this guy questions about his future plans and whatnot and he always wrote back. Gettin all teary
I would have been just satisfied with Rupert riding an arcade horse. 9:22 lol
But, it gets even better. Rodger driving in a sonic car ( 8:44 ) and him picking a 150 dollar vhs tape of Woody Allen's Manhatten Murder Mystery ( 7:22 ). WOW !
Oh wow, wow ... this is totally unexpected. And wonderful, very wonderful. I was certainly shocked to see this. Last year I had just come back from visiting family to learn of Rodger's passing and now again I return from visiting with family to another Iwate Swan video ... thank you.
I saw this in my subscription and it took a lot of courage to press it, knowing that Rodger isn't here anymore, his videos were such an inspiration to me, thank you so much to the Swan family for posting this. It is such a great memory to him and his personality :) All his Youtube subscribers really miss him and are so grateful to see his adventures. RIP Rodger
Even after he's gone, Rodger is still taking us on his adventures with him. Thanks to whomever is editing these videos, they are really heartwarming n_n
I wish these new videos could keep coming forever, but am so grateful for what we have. Thanks again to Rodger's family for making all our holidays a little brighter.
wow. The episodes just get more surreal. Not only am I seeing new Rodger videos. But he is going to a supposed American world that still looks more like a Japanese amusement park. Well worth the watching. I'm really enjoying these last couple of videos.
I think I speak for all of us when we say thank you, Rodger's family, for this deeply personal footage of Rodger in his last days. It is a little more closure needed for this great loss. Thank you.
maaan the mustaceh :D dude you had that unique style no need to say rip or stuff like like that, cuz i know that you rest in peasce if thee is anything like religion^^
Glad to see this in my inbox this Christmas. These new videos make it feel like he's alive again. To Rodger's family, thank you for this video! We all miss him so much. Hope you all had a safe and happy holiday.
If I may say so, I am glad that this is how he will be remembered: Smiling, traveling, showing us a little bit of the life he got to live. Rest well Swan. We will see you next time.
My condolences to Roger's parents: I never got the privilege of speaking with your son or befriending him from what he has shared with us on YouTube I can tell he was a wonderful young man with a spark for life which is rare to find today. I hope you have a wonderful holiday and Roger will continue to live on in our hearts.
one more video to go Roger was the first J blogger i ever watched the best its funny how you can miss someone you never really knew.I hope the channel will stay up in the future how it is or if friends and family wish to add to that would be cool to(=
Rip Roger swan and happy holidays swan family your in our thoughts.
I live in that city now (Kitakami) and it looks just like it does in his video, only more snow right now. I had no idea that he lived so close to me. I wish we could have met and made a few videos together.
Merry Christmas Roger. I'm glad you had so much fun.
As a fan from even before you moved to iwate, it really touches me that i can see even one more video from him. He looks like he just filmed that yesterday...
As someone who found Rodger after his unfortunate passing, I can't tell you how much I appreciate this video. I've truly come to love Rodger and his videos; because of him, I will be going to Japan in April to live life to the fullest. Merry Christmas Swan family, I'm sure Rodger will always be looking over you!
Makes me so happy yet so sad to see you once more Rodger. Damn I almost cried when I saw this in my supscription box. You had so much to live for and it was taken away in just an instant. I do hope, wherever you are that you rest in peace.
Merry Christmas! Thank you so much for sharing these precious last videos. Roger was a special person! His wonderful videos will go on inviting people to share his love of Japanese culture,
you rule Rodger merry Christmas. Nothing ever ends things just change . Life is like a stage some people stay on for a long time and some don't but Rodger was one of the best performers on the stage of life .
