#136 - Memory Lane in Japan

[itsmuSic91]

Nice video! Where you grew up is very peaceful and beautiful. We had Cicadas here too a couple years back. I have family down south and there were tons of them.

[master11superior]

you rarely get sentimental? i heard japanese never show emotion. true?

[yuichituba]

@master11superior Well, it's just me. I wouldn't say Japanese never show emotions, they're just not as obvious as Americans.

[master11superior]

@yuichituba i would have to agree. gackt shows a lot of emotion in his music. soooo... got any japanese friends i can borrow :(

[JAMministryProject]

haha i wish my dad was that epic!

[tiggergirl06]

Love the video your hometown is so wonderful :)

[yuichituba]

@tiggergirl06 Thank you, I like how quaint it is.

[blondegaijin]

Santa Cruz de semi ga iru no...?!?! I had not idea & I'm in Monterey..how strange. The first time I knowingly encountered semi was in Ibaraki. Thanks for sharing --this made me miss Japan.

[yuichituba]

@blondegaijin Oh ya? I guess I'd have to go to Santa Cruz to check out some semi. I'm sorry it made you miss Japan, but I'm sure it misses you too :)

[quigon87yt]

@yuichituba - Attends wedding. Lots of walking [wrong shoes]. Remains quit at all times.  Gets lost while taking a walk.

Doing all this while visiting your hometown in Japan = PRICELESS!

What I wouldn't do just to visit... sigh...

Oh, Love your Vid's BTW ^_^

[yuichituba]

@quigon87yt Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoy them. I'm back in America now but I will move there next year so I'll be making more of those then :)

[quigon87yt]

@yuichituba - Oh Pls Pls Pls, Oh Please take me with you! LOL ;)

[MikisPantry]

That's what that sound was!!!!! I never even knew "semi" word in english, lol. There are a ton of those in Santa Cruz.

[woggystylerism]

Do you think the crows are American?  ;)

[AndreR241]

When they are in other countries, they always have their camera with them :P

[yuichituba]

@AndreR241 haha, i guess every culture is like that ;)

[bunkernate]

I can see why you would miss Japan. Your hometown is beautiful. I could see myself hiking through that forest every once in a while.

[yuichituba]

@bunkernate Ya, i do like the suburb/rural areas of Japan. I've never been through the forests in my area but i bet it's fun. Don't go during the summer though because there will be LOTS of mosquitos.

[bunkernate]

@yuichituba Haha, your talking to a guy who lives in Houston Tx, mosquito city

[ggumilgeoya]

You are 30?!?! Seriously ?!? You look WAY younger !! ^^

[yuichituba]

@ggumilgeoya Haha ya, I thought at least in Japan I wouldn't look as young. But no, they thought I looked young too, lol.

[uinkii]

After you got out of the tunnel, you should have turned left up the very very steep street - that's where Scott and Alice Kehn live - or at least did....I don't know if they're still there or not.

[uinkii]

That was a road we used to take quite often in the little Suzuki Every we had. I walked it the other day as a matter of fact!

[yuichituba]

@uinkii Ya, I thought I walked through there. Maybe I was wrong. Either that they changed the road so it lead somewhere else. At least it was fun walking through there. I didn't know the Kheens lived around there.

[Catkoi]

If you are sentimental and nostalgic I recommend everybody to read graphic novels of jirô Taniguchi especially 'A Distant Neighborhood' and 'the walking man'. They are pretty magical!

[yuichituba]

@Catkoi Cool, thanks for the suggestions.

[jonesr227]

Where was this place (roughly)? 

[yuichituba]

@jonesr227 It's located in Yokosuka.

[bellesalvia]

Seeing that mini-forest next to those houses reminded me of the movie My Neighbor Totoro.

[yuichituba]

@bellesalvia Yaaa, it does look like it! Cool, I never thought of that.

[ifarhani]

Wow..your home town looks beautiful

[yuichituba]

@ifarhani Thank you. I like the quaint part of that small town.

[theEumenides]

Apropo "American volume," I visited an American friend in Belgium and we had dinner with her Belgian boyfriend and his mother. Apparently, while my friend and I were catching up, the mother was asking her son (in French) why the Americans were screaming at each other across the table. Haha. I felt a little embarrassed. Thanks for sharing your walk down memory lane!

[yuichituba]

@theEumenides Haha, ya. But people say that for Romanians, Italians and Chinese too. My friends thought these ROmanians were fighting, but they were really good friends, lol.

Thanks for joining me on my trip on memory lane.

[ciaostacia]

It would be such an interesting experience walking through your hometown after so many years. I haven't been back to my hometown in about four years now, and the last time I was there it had changed a lot, I was amazed. Good video!

[yuichituba]

@ciaostacia Ya, it's pretty trippy.  It makes you think back into your past a lot. Thank you for watching!

[ciaostacia]

@yuichituba Anytime! I really enjoy your videos, thanks for making them : )

[cartabianca]

Thank you again, I like your videos, I feel like I am in Japan. Merci pour vos vidéos, je pense que les Français aussi sont bruyants surtout quand il ne sont pas dans leur pays, lol.

[yuichituba]

@cartabianca Haha, are they? I haven't heard too many noisy French, maybe Belgian, lol.

I wanted to give a feeling of walking through Japan so I'm glad you thought so! :)
