Toyomi Magic 豊海の魔法 (Surfing in Japan Near Tokyo)

[MicknFumi]

G'day mate, popped in to see if you had any new vids & came by this cool older video...love the pov footage on the wave. I have been wanting to get footage like that this year, but my xacti broke. Hope you & the family are all good...peace : )

[LisaNova]

Cool vid!

[Hikosaemon]

Wow, I really appreciate you stopping by and taking a look at my vid, especially with so many responses to look at.

Thanks - YOU ROCK!

Peace

[owling9]

Mate.. yes, I did enjoy it. From Fukushima-shi.

[Hikosaemon]

Mate! Wow, this is a VERY late response but I just have to tell you the very BEST surfing I have ever done in Japan was up there in Fukushima. I still don't know the exact spot (it was in the south) but six mates and I had an entire bay to ourselves all day - head high waves, clear green water, and the girlfriends cooking a bbq for us on a sandspit in front of us. This is still my favorite ever vid - really glad you found it.

Peace

Hikosaemonさん　すごい楽しそうに波に乗ってるじゃないですか:*:・(￣∀￣)­・:*:

私は海に行くと　子供達の監視係なので　まだやった事はありませんA=´、｀=)ゞ

でも　一つだけ　やっぱり日本の皆さんはマナーが良いですね(^▽^;)

こっちでは　あまり良いとは言えません.....今日も７歳の次男が他のボデ­ィーボードをやってる大人とぶつかって大きな痣を(Bruise­) 作ってしまいました(#｀ε´#)

その人は　次男を助ける事も誤る事もせずに　去って行ったので、ライフガードに報告したんですよね

アクシデントなのは判るけど　一言　大丈夫か？って声をかけてほしかったですo(_ _*)o

皆さんもマナーを守って　ゴミは持ち帰るか、ゴミ箱へ捨ててくださいね

私は　もちろん気おつけてます

だって　私は海人(うみんちゅ)ですから:*:・(￣∀￣)・:*:

Peace

[Hikosaemon]

kaokao1031さん、コメントをありがとうございました！

次男のことは本当にいやですね。

やっぱり千葉と茨城の良いところは、海に入る人は大体マナーが分­かっていますし、前乗りとか他のマナーを違反すると結構大変にな­ることもあるから、みんなが大体守りますね。海が混んでいくと周­りを配慮しない人が増えて、ちょっといやになりますね。

うん、海ってやっぱり人間にとって重要な存在だと思うので、みん­なで楽しめるように協力することも大事ですね。

コメントをありがとうございます！

Peace

[Ilovegrapefruit]

うわぁ～、完成度の高いビデオですね！

私はサーフィンもボディーボードもやらないんですが、このビデオ­を見ていたら完全に癒されました！！

[Hikosaemon]

Ilovegrapefruitさん、この動画に本当に頑張りま­したので、コメントをありがとうございました。

うん、これは一番満足してますね。今度、また同じような動画を作­ってみたいとおもいますね。

ありがとうございます！

Peace

hey hiko

i recently joined lang-8 and its great so farits just i feel stuck and behind, but ill get over it once i get some more of this grammar down. Anyway i have a question. what is the difference between na-adjectives and i-adjectives?

[Hikosaemon]

Rikufan, mate! Good on you joining lang-8, and feeling stuck and behind is not a bad thing, it's natural. na and i adjectives are a pain - there is no practical difference in what the words are, only how they are conjugated, which is a pain, but again, English is much worse for dumb grammar rules than Japanese! Basically, any adjective that doesn't end in "i" (excluding Kirei and Kirai, which are exceptions) is a na-adjective. You get used to it as you use them.

Peace and Ganbare!

[JamieDanger]

That looks soooo nice!! Except I don't like water... being from Montana and all, I prefer mountains, but it looked like you had fun so I'm glad!

And ramen! Num!! I'm jealous!! But I'll be able to have some good ramen in a couple weeks in Tokyo!!

Is that where you are? If you know anywhere where one can find 熊本　Or 博多ラーメン (so I guess just とんこつラーメン）, please let me know! We should go eat there together!!

My English seems so weird today... huh

BYE!

[Hikosaemon]

No water, no problem - this is what blew my away about Tokyo - one hour south or east and you have decent surfing, about one and a half hours north or west, you have powder snow and world class skiing and snowboarding. People live here for years and never realize how close all these things are.

Great to hear you're coming to Tokyo! There is good tonkotsu ramen everywhere in Tokyo - I'd love to meet up for a beer and some ramen when you're in town!

Peace

[rikufan14]

Man hiko, how do u do it. i have been studying japanese for five hours strait and i'm exhausted! i mean how do you remember everything. what really get me are all of the rules. ESPECIALLY　particles, all of their rules kill me so i usually before i begin a new lesson in JFBP, review everything　I learned in past lessons just so i dont forget, i cant practice tho bc i cant find any japanese tv. its really frustrating and tiring

[Hikosaemon]

Hey Rikufan14, my man! I always like to remember whenever the grammar for Japanese seems to suck, that the grammar for English is about 20 times more messed up and harder for other people to learn. Let's face it, most English speakers don't understand the rules of the grammar we use ourselves! For vids, try checking out Oyassan and Sushi on my channel page for starters, and follow the related links. Don't try to understand every word, just relax and take in what you can. Ganbare!

Peace

[rikufan14]

はい．ありがとございます。

[wave0730]

楽しそうですね！

僕は湘南で波乗りしてます！

[Hikosaemon]

湘南はいいですね！東京から便利だし。

ロングに乗ってますか？

Peace

[wave0730]

ロングもショートもやりますよ！

[maverickmaster]

豊海海岸か。。。なつかしいな。

オレが通っていたとき（５～８年前）は砂の付きがあまり良くなか­ったけど、今はどうなんだろう。

わぉ、すげー楽しそうだね。

久しぶりに千葉の海が見られました。　ありがとう☆

[Hikosaemon]

こちらこそ、ありがとうございました！

うん、楽しかったよ。

やっぱりたまには海に行かないと！

Peace

[kadRYU]

Ohh... I wanna play surfing! this season summer is very hot... I too hot to go out! by the way, is your camera waterproofing, isn't it? it is good! ohh, you are balding... but this is cool! frankly speaking, man's worry is balding :( I love "Tonkotsu Ramen"!! What kind of taste do you like?

[Hikosaemon]

Hey KadRYU, you should definitely try it!

I actually used two cameras for this - the waterproof one is a "GoPro Hero" waterproof wrist camera. It was hard to use well, but I got a few nice shots that I worked into the video.

I looove Ramen - I like Tonkotsu, but I especially like Miso ramen!

Peace

[ericsurf6]

Sweet! I can't wait to go on some surf trips this summer / fall. Chiba is pretty cool and relaxed.

I'm planing a trip to Shikoku in September, but Izu (Shimoda) is pretty good for an overnighter. You interested?

He he, I have a hat just like that! Nice, you've got a water housing for your video cam! Excellent. Hiko's Endless summer! Hope to see more..

[Hikosaemon]

Mate! I was hoping you'd like this one - and yes, I was completely thinking of Dan Brown when I started cutting and putting this together. I definitely want to explore this style a bit more.

I'm totally up for some surf trips, and I'm a big Shimoda fan. Totally interested mate, can't wait to get out on the water together sometime soon.

Thanks as always!

Peace

[rucheombura]

Time to have contact with nature certainly is important. blessed also with the weather

It was a wonderful day! Nice intro And Nice surf!!

[Hikosaemon]

Hey Rucheombura! Yep, I think we all need to get back to nature every now and then! And good job spotting the new intro - I put some special effort into this one, so I'm really glad you appreciate it.

Peace!

[gregsdaone]

love your subtitles. This vlog is great also. I love the ocean. I kinda mentioned you on my channel after seeing a couple of your vids, but forgot your name at first. Mahahlo

[Hikosaemon]

Dude, thanks for the mention and I love your channel. Tena Koe, Greg! I'm glad you enjoyed the vids, and as you can see, I love the ocean too! Much appreciated mate.

Peace

[seemezii]

気持ちよくなりました

[Hikosaemon]

seemeziiさん、コメントをありがとうございます。それは­一番嬉しいです！

Peace

[folker2006]

字幕フォントが洋画の字幕風ですね

ひょっとして"しねきゃぷしょん"っていうフリーの

フォントですかね?

この字体好きなんで私もインストールしてます。

[Hikosaemon]

Folker2006さん、よく気づきましたね。色々動画とチャ­ネルの改善に日本語の面白いフォントを探したら、この「しねきゃ­ぷしょん」にすごい気に入っていれました。英文字でも形が結構好­きですね。

Peace

[runnyrunny999]

It looks pretty cool! I think I will try someday cuz I live in Shounan area. サーフィンはねー・・・今まで避けてたんだよ。何故って？It'­s a long story man! Haha...

[Hikosaemon]

I have to hear your story sometime! Shonan has nice waves, but SO many people! I think it is the disadvantage of being easy to reach from Tokyo. I want to go out sometime with Ericsurf6 like he did with Ken Tanaka, on a nice quiet morning. 今度何故サーフィンしないのかのStoryを教えてね！

Peace

[ZEETRIBE]

肩の力の抜けた、まったりとしたドキュメントで

気持ちが癒されるムービーでした。o(^-^o)

彦さんのお国のNZもサーフィンは盛んですか？

[Hikosaemon]

ZEETRIBEさん、気に入ってくれてありがとうございました­！そうそう、NZもサーフィンは盛んなんですが、NZにいた時に­日本に来れるようにアルバイトばかりして、ほとんどNZでサーフ­ィンした事はないです！ただ、オーストラリアには親戚がいて、そ­こではよく海に入っています。NZのサーフィン旅行もしたいけど­、日本にもまだ行きたいところがいっぱいありますね！（宮崎県と­か）。NZのRaglanというところに一回是非行ってみたいね­。

Peace

[cather333]

Very lovely video my friend !!

We feel summer time, in that sea,wonderful.

What a nice way to live.

Catherine

5 *****

[Hikosaemon]

Thanks Catherine, I'm glad you liked it. I really liked this video - I put some special effort into making it, and it came out better than I hoped.

Peace!

[cather333]

You welcome, and you can be proud of your work in this video. Good job.

Have a nice day

Catherine

[ughat]

サーフィンって、チームスポーツじゃないから、レベルに応じた自­分なりの楽しみ方ってありますよね！私も久しぶりにまた行きたく­なりました！仲間の皆様もメローでナイスな感じでいいですね！

[Hikosaemon]

Ughatさん、まさに、そういうメッセージが伝えたかったです­！その波を一緒に楽しんでいる共感が一番良いですよ。やっぱり、­人間って、自然が大事です！友達と楽しめるのが最高です。いつも­、コメントを本当にありがとうございますね。

Peace

[timer999o]

that was interesting, i may try surfing one day

[Hikosaemon]

I'm glad you liked it! I can't recommend it enough. It is hard to explain until you do it, but there is something about the connection you feel with nature when you ride waves, that is like a "reset" button for stress. It puts everything back in perspective for me, especially on great days out like this.

Peace

[rikufan14]

hey man great video quality i cant wait until i get my mac, i have 900$ as of today and the mac costs 1380$ in cluding tax i cant wait!

[Hikosaemon]

Hey dude, I have worked on the quality for a while now. The guys with Macs seem to get the best quality, but this was done on a PC with VideoStudio 12 software, and my Canon HF10 camera that I must admit is giving me beautiful quality video. Almost there with the Mac! I can't wait to see what you make with it.

Peace

[sanbastion]

Cool! I went surging once, it is very cool. Your friend looked like a nice bloke :). Cool Tatoo your friend has!

[Hikosaemon]

Dude! The thing about a lot of surfing movies that annoys me is the idea that you have to be good at it to enjoy it. Anyone who goes out knows that when you are out on the water, ability doesn't matter at all - so long as you follow the "manners" and ettiquete, it's simply about enjoying the waves together. Yasu san is a great guy - his tats are purely for art, and go well with his painting and so on. I think he has a great life.

Peace
