[MaboroshiPan]

My new semester's starting tomorrow. I've registered for this pretty cool elective course "The Political Economy of Japan". The professor is Australian and is married to a Japanese. I heard he's a manga otaku so it looks like it's gonna be an interesting course.

[gunzfactory]

I really like watching your videos. Im actually part japanese and i hope to visit my family in japan soon when i finish college.

[thispenguin]

i'm going back to japan this month for concerts and site seeing. =]

[BittersweetVictory]

Living on your own is has so many postives and negatives I can't even decide half the time which one is better!

I'm currently stuck in America but at least I know my career choice, if I'm lucky enough, which is the JET program.

It's exciting having direction in life, no?

[Shinoda4013]

Did you get fatter?:)

[MLSUSA]

Of course he did

[ivan351]

hi Tom, I can see you're working hard man, keep it up!

"A person starts to live, when he can live outside himself" - quote from Albert Einstein

[Tryanything95]

I hope your problems stop soon, good thing i know someone who's going to Japan at Christmas, bad thing i'm not going, lols.

[Lnlajoie]

Hey Tom, it is so good to hear from you again in such a long time. And comparing me to you Tom, you're pretty lucky that you got to go to Japan, I was planning to go, but my parents instantly put me in ATP (Adult Transition Program) as well as some classes at a Junior college near me. I kept on telling my parents that I want to be in Japan, but they aren't very sure that I can take care of myself, mostly my mom. If you have any suggestions or whatever, post them on my comment box on my channel.

[yucah]

Hi Tom, I've been following your videos for awhile now and I just wanted you to know that I've always loved watching your adventures in Japan. It's all like a dream now, isn't it? I went to Australia on an exchange program myself (I visited Perth, absolutely gorgeous area you live in) and I constantly wish I was back there again. My plans are to apply to AEON and work as an english teacher over in Japan for a bit. Hopefully a solution to your problems shows itself soon, hang in there!!

[Tokyo171]

Things will turn out ok. I wasnt able to graduate HS on time with my class because of some interesting events that i didnt know about (really i didnt know about them) anyway so i took an online course and was going to graduate in 2 weeks then i found out the the state i live in raised the credit requirments so now i have to take 2 more classes (that was unexpected) and it frickin sucks. on a good note though im exited to buy some more anime dvds so thats a good thing and i am graduating soon :)

[AZaikoku]

I'm soooo happy! I live in Finland and around here there arent that many chances to study japanese in a real class and they started keeping those classes and I got in! x3 yay I'm preparing for my exchange year(that will hopefully happen soon)

[TheJapanChannelDcom]

Sorry you are having problems.. be assured that they will pass.

When you will be coming back to Japan again?

[Hacks2Win]

Good thing: A good job. :P

Haha.

[N1GHTWALKER823]

Good news is that I am taking a Japanese class and i have mastered hiragana and half of katakana. The semi - bad news is that I have a test on kana and sentence structure tomorrow. lol. I am sure I will do fine. So far learning Japanese has been fun and interesting. Later.

[ManaFan]

YAY JAPAN!! =) Your videos are always the funniest!

[eblekj]

i was like sooo close to just leaving a comment that just said "i was raped" cause u said not to, but i figured thats too touchy of a subject to joke about. decency kitty is pleased, for now......

[selllout101]

[ssjwes]

might be the hair? shorter rounds the face more

[Marche686]

Hey, good stuff man. Your videos have really given some clear incite on what Japan is like. I'm going to be going to Japan next year so I appreciate all of the hard work and effort you've put in. Keep it up!

[HereComesSeth]

[Catarouxx]

I've got a Test on KATAFUCKINGKANA tomorrow and capitols for each country its not so much.. as i can't read the symbols i know that shit its just trying to replace the rus with ls to make it sound like a more english sounding word... Oh and i just got my ass kicked by a lady bug in final fantasy tiny fucking lady bug vs a 7ft Elvaan WTF? Yeah, sorry no positive stories to tell...

[ThePacificCrossing]

I just met a nice girl last week so still in that fun "whats going to happen" stage.

that was possibly the gayest sentence I have ever written.

[RizingBlackSun]

You should see if BetamaxDC wouldn't make some tunes for you.

[CederB]

Heey Tom! I've been watching all your vids without leaving a single comment so i thought i would make my debut right now! :P Good things?

Well, i'm going on a high school year exchange to japan in march!!

The bad things.......I can't seem to come up with any bad things, just booring school stuff as history , local networks, digital creation, mathematic.

Keep up good work!!

[Roominator]

Hey tom, been watching your video's for a while now and thought i'd leave you a comment.

What's good thats happening at the moment? I just moved back to University today for my second year :)

My Loan has come through which is a good thing now, but when i finnish is going to be very bad :(

[iggytan]

One more semester man just one more and I'm freakin off to Japan. lol

[Xsarith]

A good thing in my life is that my name was said in a YouTube vid, you pronounced it correctly the way.

You finally changed the background colour, not the correct colour but it'll do also for your intro and stuff do you have a specific genre?

[burntweezy]

Go to myspace music and find some music you like. Ask for their permission to use their music for your videos and put a link in your side bar to their myspace music page and you'll have a win win

[Minnow]

Hope your problems clear up, Tomu! I'd tell you about what's going on in my life but I whine enough to you online. XD But my host mom did make takoyaki today and I was very happy~

[maxgo111]

Looking forward to more videos, and hope you get partnered.
