東京YouTube花見ギャザリング-Tokyo Gathering

[yankeeshogun]

What kind of freakish military outfit is that, anyway?

[japanesespirit777]

日本の美が一番好きです。。今は日本が解体されそう（沖縄も中国­の工作で基地をなくして沖縄をチベット化するようです。）ですが­、美徳だけはいつまでも子供の世代まで永遠に生き続けてほしいで­す。

[FelineFantsy]

I have a question, from reading the kanji of 'hanami' I see the character for Flower 'hana' and mi has the kanji look like mi as in 'miru' to see, to look. So basically it means 'looking at flowers/flower watching' right?

[00kenchin]

はい、花見＝花をみて（to watch flowers）. However in this instance it means Youtube flower gathering.

-けんしぇん

[FelineFantsy]

oh, okay thanks. I'm still learning, LOL.

[00kenchin]

No problem, infact i am still learning. My name is an adopted one. Don't worry just keep studying!!

[ManaFan]

LOL I love the one little random foam peanutt that like POPS into the air. XXDD

FOAM NINJA!!!

[robin368]

33mil people in tokyo thats 2 times holland o.o

[Bratcipheo]

Will you do the gathering next year again?

[AutoRacingfan]

hi do you still have gatherings this month n tokyo?

[kdiv2002]

dude, i wish i could go to that Party... i miss Japan! xD

[veloboy]

New Zealand is pretty nice this time of year, but missing hanami for the fist time in several years puts a lump in my throat.

Oh well, at least there's good beer here...

[daijinzriley]

love your vlog, dawg!

[HannaForTheWin]

i must say: you're hot!

[hhanyu]

東京YouTube花見ギャザリング、うまくいったらしいね。よ­かったね。

[RoninDave]

kudos on the hanami gathering! I came for the second half at the Hub Pub. Still a bunch of fun with a bunch of crazy youtubers and one 'baccer-dipping Yankee - whutdehell?

[sexymdlman]

It's not fair!!

[connieuitsu]

I'll be there, and I'm bringing a couple of friends as well! :) Can't wait! :D

[AaronLewisTokyo]

[TalimSoul]

I so would go.. but I'm still in Amercia.. and I don't know THAT much Japanese.. still studing...

[StudioNiten]

Hopefully party goes well and we are going to have more parties in future. I'm not able to participate this time but maybe later. Have fun there!

[Altered3]

Shame I can't be there. To all that will attend - Have fun in my stead, guys. :)

[ebonyofold]

Hey Cooney. I'm back in San Diego. It was GREAT to meet you in Tokyo. Wish I could be there for the hanami party but I'm not sweatin' it, for I am quite sure I will make it to future events.

Oh -- got 8 more "gaijin nods" and even 1 "gaijin informal salute" from one fellow before leaving Tokyo on Monday evening.

[amsd1231]

[Eyehield2192]

[tokyoislander]

wooohooo!!!

Hell's yeah I'm coming!!!

Count me in!

Thinking about bringing with me 20 or so JET English teachers...but maybe we could organize the who brings what system or each put in Y1,000 for drinks etc.

Will be watching and praying for good weather.

[mednos]

Why does the delivery boy wear Gloves???

[michaelp2234]

lmao it looks like all they gave you was frisbies! by the way, those weren't frisbies they were fruit roll ups ha.

hope to see some videos about how it went.

[coolstuff2003ad]

Hey man, hope everything works out OK for you. I was in Japan for a year in 1999 as a high school student- I love Japanese culture, girls n that.

[kumani90]

Too bad I can't be there.

[NaKkA83]

[divix13]

Woo hoo! I can't wait! ^_^

[spebat]

March 30th... Yess! I'll be in Tokyo then.. I'll try to make it...

[aydnway]

Bravo! I have watched countless Vlogs of yours and I am hooked. Great job on editing and presentation.Only thing I would suggest is give your blog an ending stamp of some sort."Till next time..." ..bah I got ideas if your interested and have time.

[Soteniliene]

Are you in a different apartment?

[Kamirykun]

i think is the same but... clean

[Archronos1]

[Maple2009]

[Maple2009]

[Eszra]

I'll be there in spirit.

T-T

(I wanna go!!!!)

[lucaboris]

Cooney can you buy me a plane ticket, and lend me a coach to sleep on. and I'll be there ;)

[nabgeta]

well maybe something can happen in the start of 09 because that is when I'll be there (hopefully)

[mafurock33]

It looks like I am going to be in Japan (I hope) this time next year, so I hope this happens again next year.

[turtleblues66]

I went to Yoyogi Koen to see cherryblossoms one year and a drunk streaker stumbled past me, and there were piles of garbage everywhere....

[claureno]

Try to think positive. That was then, this is now!!!

[turtleblues66]

this was March 2006 and who said it was not a positive experience.....

[tokyocooney]

Yeah, sorry about that... I have no idea what happened to my clothes. Man was I drunk.

[MisterNES]

What is confirmed you say?

The fact that I will be there.

But you gotta promise me that I'll get a frisbee and a T-shirt!!!!!

[MisterNES]

It is confirmed

[tokyokindel]

I'll be there, Looking foward to it!!

[maneneko]

You're killing me! Ah... what I'd give to be there that day.

[outlaw345]

Man that looks like it will be amazing... If I had like a few thousand dollars lying around I would SO be there. Unfortuneitly I do not =(

[94katy]

[Alaby]

[futbolhooligan89]

[futbolhooligan89]

Man you just gave me a reason to go tokyo.I just booked my flight. See you on the 30th ;]

[Kamirykun]

no way, youtube cheap toys?... I HAVE TO BE THERE!, sadly i live crossing the sea (the pacific) so i can´t manage to be there, but hey more alcohol and free youtube stuff for you!, i hope to see that reunion soon, have a hell of a good time for me ok?

[FENIX331]

Damn,

the Party is on my Birthday,

I am in Oregon not Japan haha

wish I could be there.

Have fun!

[Kamirykun]

[ktokyo]

I might already be going to a hanami party at Yoyogi park on 3/30. Maybe we'll have to have little party merger...

[KettoKamisori]

Damn, I wish I could make it out there... Ah well, maybe some other year.

[BRAINCONSTRUCTION]

I'd come and get CRUNK AND DRUNK but I'm in uh new york so..

[3sstudent]

good shit

[kansaiPJ]

I am so jealous! We, the kansi youtubers need to get off our collective asses and follow the lead of the kanto bloggers and start socializing together.

Wish I could join you, but have a drink under the cherry blossoms for me!

[thedailyenglishshow]

I don't know ... alcohol and video cameras sounds like a dangerous mix to me ...

[Audiomuse]

I wish I could come, have a great time everyone!

[Gimmeaflakeman]

I want to goooooo!

行きたい！！！！

[emptybottles]

i wanna go so bad.. i think i'll go snatch a purse and see if theres money in it. xD

[claureno]

My single favorite millisecond of this video is the lone kernel of styrafoam popcorn that lept with joy from the box! HAVE FUN YOU GUYS!

[limestarinc]

Classic.

[davidlee89]

[hyperbunnyninja]

[EdgarHero]

[Draco206]

Great video Cooney Awesome! As for me I would definitely show up and attend the Hanami party, but sadly I'm also located here in the States -_- though I hope everyone that shows up there does have a great time!

[kogababe]

I'm a new viewer to your videos that found you last night. Why oh why, are they so addicting? I almost watched everyone xD

[yerk3]

What was that red floppy thing? It looks like a red pizza dough.

[yamichan]

Omg, those frisbees. <3

[AndySan]

I'd like to go, but I'm poor and I live in the States. This sucks...for me!

[shenlon2]

yey, free swag rocks

[smiley62]

This '6 5" afro american will be there! ^_^

[japgamer00x]

[Iihsasum]

[tokyocooney]

[mcjangles]

I really want to go but cant! :( but this summer, late july early august ill be in Japan! hope i see the cooney

[DeemmuBurger]

Yaarrghh, 'tis no frisbee.

[KOHPelord]

So, now I have to go to Japan to get YouTube merchandise? It wasn't nearly this hard to get stuff from the other sites I used to be a member of... :P

[claureno]

HOW did Box #2 get there before Box #1? Life is such a mystery to me.

[tokyocooney]

BTW TO EVERYONE... this is the "Carrie" i say "thanks" to. So thank her if you are fortunate enough to get some google stuff!

[maneneko]

Hi Carrie! Can you ship me too??

[claureno]

Hi Maneneko! Ship you a frisbee or ship you? :-) I'd ship myself, too, if I could!

[jidoujidou]

Interested in going, but I hope it doesn't get too awkward like when you see other foreigners around.

[Noellafun]

looking forward to that !

see you then :)

[Juvernzvids]

Wow, Plastic Hanami very japanese!

[shotamerican]

yea! let's hope i don't get lost on the way there! aw man.. i'm totally gonna get lost.

[DreamingChaseR]

[LowerNorthSwamp]

へぇ～

行けたら行く。下北沢から電車で一本。

Cool. I'll go if I can. I can catch a train straight from Shimokitazawa.

[CuriousCuriosity]

I wish I could go (and get sh-wag)! xD

[dallasINtokyo]

nice, i love shwag!

[ross350tube]

I really want to go,

but i am just worried,

like is it going to be one of those things where i can just walk up to anyone and say hello, even if i have no idea who they are,

cause like, thats pretty much the opposite of what feels right when i see foreign people every other day.

[tokyocooney]

I for one will be very glad if you walk up and say hello. So dont worry... come along!

[kennybanks]

hey man.

im hoping to come to the hanami party! i got my friend from Canada with me so i hope ill get to see you.

oh and i also might go to Crocodile on the 28th.

see u soon

[murakamipanda35]

Man, I want a Free YouTube Frisbee! I would be a space saver for the gathering if someone paid my airfare to Tokyo from the States.

[tokyocooney]

Are you the size of a frizbee? If so, google might mail you.

[zenhill]

You are a true legend TokyoCooney :)) Cant wait to see the parteee vid.

[tokyocooney]

Hopefully you will be seeing many youtube hanami vids!

[xWychix]

[ilikethingsfromjapan]

[LeoTokyo]

[spellbunny]

[Gimmeabreakman]

I'll see if I can get there.

[tokyocooney]

Did I mention there are supposed to be "Youtube

" T-shirts in the next shipment. Youtube T-shirts and Frisbees... what more do you need!!!

[Gimmeabreakman]

Oh, shit! I forgot to water my plastic tree!

[BigTwitchy]

Man, what I wouldn't give to be there. Instead I'll be at my sh*thouse job in a country that's apathetic to reality.

[TkyoSam]

Dude, where's my Youtube sushi plates and "youtube" flavored condoms?_??

...wait a sec, is "Youtube" even a flavor?...

o.O

[laskolasko]

you should give us your mailing address so people in america can send you some Tacobell™

[UbiquitousGeek]

Awe, man. I want some swag.

[AkitaTom]

Dude i saw you the other day! I was going to go up and say hi but i got ushered away by the exchange student staff people! T_T. p.s i would really appreciate it if you could check out my Japan blogs and give me advice! Thanks man!

AkitaTom

[rodgerswan]

[kensuzukivideos]

In 1969, people gathered in Woodstock to look for love, peace and freedom. What will we look for this time at the Yoyogi Park, Tokyo.

[junkienet]
