[Crusader3451]

[heroofjustice]

[purplerain447]

I have always wanted to go to an Japanese highschool. But my parents say that its dangerous going there alone. How was it for you?

[12markinlove12]

Ahh singing, thats something i can never do properly, it's only when i feel really happy i just sing to myself in my bedroom or when im having shower usually it is Kings of leon - sex on fire, and sometimes its various other bands that i have no idea how i know of them but i know the words somehow~ i need more confidence! got any tips? lol :D

[ellooellooo]

Ahhh, when you're getting soda they're playing Utada Hikaru! That's so cool! She's my FAVOURITE singer!!

Fangirl moment.

[SpyderR0de0]

What was the second song you sang in the karaoke part?

[jaremiester]

The "la la la la la" one?

It's called 'Around the World' by ATC

[QueenSnookie2]

@jaremiester I have a couple questions... were you orginally a student form America? And how did you get to go to Japan as an exchange student? Did you already know japnese? Was your school all girls? Were there cute guys? Did you already know your host family from before? Were they nice? Were you uncomfortable with them? How lond did you stay in Japan? Did those girls in 07 go with you or were they seperate students? How long did it take you to learn how to go to school in Japan? Answer plz <3

[ahveg]

did you japanese friends?

[Izziebiz]

for fun we dressed up one of our male companions in lolitta clothes and had him walk around the hotel.

we also had an epic panda josting battle.

[jaremiester]

Hahahah. :D

[SoulEaterFanX]

@Izziebiz Oh my god......BWAHAHAHAHAHA. god i want to go to japan when things get better,mabye, mabye not as a ex. student. but anyway i want to go x333333 :D

[dabeatmaster123]

Also did you know Japensese when you went to Japan or did you learn it in Japan?

[jaremiester]

You really should become an exchange student--it was the greatest thing I've ever decided to do.

I had been studying Japanese before I left, using an audio course called Pimsleur, but I didn't have any professional help with it. I learned everything else by being there, you pick up the language really fast.

[dabeatmaster123]

I wanna become a foriegn exchange student in Japan as well? Do you know the requirments? And you probably had fun XD

[heythereyazy]

i just got accepted with a company in my city. assuming you're in highschool, go to your guidance office and tell them you want to study abroad in japan. if they're even a moderately good guidance department they should have at least a COUPLE booklets from different companies.

[jaremiester]

Yeah, that's pretty much how I got started, we had a meeting for kids who wanted to be foreign exchange students at my school.

And congrats about being accepted!! :D I remember that feeling.

[normanc82]

YES Mario64 i love that game

[buccigami777]

lol prisoner of love in the background at karaoke hahaha

[boncos95sjtj]

that looks fun i guess but the school looks a little creepy to me

[MaxichaChan]

AHAHAHA!!! i almost died listening to you guys sing thats barbie song! so funny!

[vchrizs]

youre all pretty but looks like an idiot/retarded when getting some drinks!lol

[AkitaTom]

Fantastic vid! Looks like you guys had a ton of fun!

[RobRob94]

Ha I Here "Prisoner of Love" in the background lol from Last Friends

[cwj415]

[RuneStrVash]

yoku dekimashita on your video!

(well done) - (yoku dekimashita ) (for the people who don't know)

this is encouragement for me!! to go to japan for my Senior year. Arigato.

[LSKazamaJ]

[Tigresseaujapon]

Oh Jereeeeeeeeeeee

Can't believe you published that !

Haha I remember when you took that "we are at the karaoke booooth" video and Melissa and me were like, 'she's so narcissic'.

It's so embarassing haha.

[jaremiester]

lmao yeah i really have to post a new blog soon i have so many embarrassing videos of us!

[eidius1989]

is this actually fun? it looks incredibly boring...plus you ruined a really gay song so nice one on that !!(im being serious here.)

[munkjee]

whoops, didn't realised I'd made similar comments twice! whoops!

[munkjee]

Hi Jeremy!

I've loved watching your videos, especially because I'm the same age as you and I've applied to do a foreign exchange in japan through YFU. Your videos are very fun to watch, and it makes me want to go even more! Also, you always pick wonderful music from bands I love for them! (Oh, and I'm in love with Hana Yori Dango too)

Thanks!

Katie

[munkjee]

I've just watched all your videos and absolutely loved them! It's really nice to get to see vlogs about foreign exchange because I myself will hopefully be doing a homestay in japan through yfu over the summer! I'm hoping and hoping and hoping with all of my heart that I get accepted, I want to go so badly! Also, you chose wonderful music by bands I love for all your videos, which is wonderful! And, hana yori dango is the best!

[GearGadgetz]

Cool video (please say pronounce with Japanese accent lol) !

[jaremiester]

lol.

cu-ru bee-deh-oh

[dahlrich]

Hi Jeremy...I don't know how this came across my computer at work, maybe maddy was visiting it one day. GREAT video! Sure wish I had your skills. Hope you are enjoying Japan - what a cool experience! Maybe another farmers market with us this summer? maddy's mom-deb

[jaremiester]

thanks deb!

how is maddy doing? its been ages since I've talked with her.

yeah, I LOVE JAPAN!

and I'd love to go to the farmer's market again with you guys. I come back in July!

[jp0623]

does exchange students all know eachothers?? (just curious)

[jaremiester]

Not all. The way the Rotary works is all of the kids in one district, (for example mine is Tochigi 2550,) get together once a month for orientations. There are seven exchange students in district 2550 this year, and we all try to hang out on our own every week.

[actorderick]

I loved that picture of you and your class. You were the only blond! haha

[jaremiester]

lololol yeah. there is one other non-japanese person but he is from france and he doesn't speak english. lol

[kokorokara]

is that a hikaru utada song playing in the background at first?? :D

[jaremiester]

in the very beginning of the video? no, it's the fratelli's "baby fratelli" but something leads me to believe you aren't talking about the fratellis. lol.

I don't think there is a hikaru utada song in the background but I know we sang "flavor of life" by her in karaoke but I don't think i put that on this video...

[kokorokara]

oh lol i might have been hearing thing then ^^;

[srzy]

yay a new video
