I love Lost in Translation :)! And I really want to read about "Learning to Bow," I've heard it recommended by many people! Great video ^_^

[haylz27]

Nice recommendations. :-) Just out of curiosity, do you ever plan to go back to Japan? :)

[Steven676]

Can someone give me the names of those books in German so I can research for any translations. Or better yet, could someone find the English names of these titles?

[katrandom]

@Steven676 I put the amazon links in the description. Good luck!

[japanesekid123]

@Steven676 I think "Sprachlos in Japan" is Speechless in Japan

[greendayfreak2008]

^^; Um...Can you please put a list of the books and music in the description please....It's kind of hard for me to write the names down...and stuff.

[Halflifefan264]

Wow i should read it so i could laugh at it. :)

[7hkey]

uh? either is the video flipped horizontally or your books are strange ;)

[MurdocLC]

Go out and see Lost in translation? O.o Where? Haha jk.

Love that movie too. But it hurts to long so much. T.T

[SweetxMuffin]

Vielen Dank für die Empfehlungen! Ich werde mir sicherlich mal eins der Bücher schnappen.

Could you do a bit about Culture Shock, and dealing with school? I'm being hit by culture shock right now and it's..difficult. I also just started school and I have no idea how im going to pass things like Math or Japanese, which isnt helping the culture shock.

[silverhawkroman]

@yaazyy having the same thing with the Dutch... <.<

[Darkdejaj]

lost in translation <3

[AndreR241]

Sehr interessantes und sehenswertes Video. Ich wusste gar nicht, dass es brauchbare deutschsprachige Literatur über Japan und Japaner gibt (oder ich faules Mensch habe mich noch nicht ernsthaft genug mit der Thematik auseinander gesetzt). Danke jedenfalls für die Empfehlungen; Ich werde die Ein oder Andere vielleicht recht bald beherzigen. Liebe Grüße!

[yellowbrickroad92]

ahh I'm so glad you mentioned learning to bow. excellent book!

[LookSquirrel]

You blog so good. I had mentioned how much I liked your music a few times on some video's. I'm just learning how to do this myself, and...just keep going on. I'll be an admirer (of your blog style) always.

[yistgleichmmalxplusb]

wtf! u speak german?!!! XD warum sagst du das jetzt erst!!! o.O und ich mag das buch "darum nerven Japaner" nicht! lol bei fast jedem Kapitel dachte ich "darum LIEBE ich Japan!" hehe

Warum sprichst du deutsch?! o.O

[AndreR241]

@yistgleichmmalxplusb Weil sie Halbösterreicherin ist?! Steht doch auf ihrer Kanalseite...

[dcsoccerpro18]

Thanks for the recommendations! I just know I'm going to love Japan now hahaha =)

[AlexPlusRandom]

you are so pretty!

[pittkyon]

schön mal dein deutschen akzent zu hören :)

werde mal einen blick auf die bücher werfen

[cideroipunx]

Anyone interested in music should check out Julian Cope's Japrocksampler [How the Post-war Japanese Blew Their Minds on Rock 'n' Roll] Which as well as setting a brief background of Japanese history and culture takes us on a journey of the history of post war Japanese music/art - from Jazz, Eleki Boom, Group Sounds, and most importantly up to the 70's Psychedelic Rock era.

[cxw00660]

If you are interested in Japanese trad work I highly recommend Kohrin Ogata's art.

The art book is available in big town book shop.

And also recommend design book of Japanese family emblems .

[MrBigall]

At the beginning when you start talking about Japanese music, I though, she's going to talk about Idols. Thank goodness you didn't, not that I have something against it... It's just a got friends that are fanatic about Idols. Hell, they even know, practice and dance the Wotage. Sometimes they're really annoying...

Thanks for your suggestions. I wonder if find them here dough...

[SteJVideo]

royksopp are class! i listen to it on the bus all the time! i think you had happy up here on one of your vids and thats how i found out about them!

[MrWh0cares]

Go Røyksopp! :D

[Maanesyge]

Another great (and famous!) book is "Underground" by Haruki Murakami.

Well, he basically finds as many victims of the gas attack in 1995 as he can, and interviews them. The book does not so much concern the cult itself which executed the attack; it rather gives you an insight on each individuals (involved that) day. Both the culprits and the victims.

I'd say it's a great socio- psychological analysis of the japanese.

Besides that, finally an update! Ima check the music :D

Keep on vlogging!

[xxfutureisnowxx]

haha i have all of those bands on my iPod

[emilyisatexasgirl]

What about Morning Musume?

[WarpedNote]

That first book about the Gaijin looks amazing haha. I'm going to have to pick that one up. Love your videos. Keep posting and I'll keep commenting ^^

[PATORlKKU]

also just heard you like Royksopp, they're amazing...

[PATORlKKU]

Hi, you mentioned being an art student so I have a question. I'm kind of in the same field, I'm going to be a musician. I'm still in high school, 17, year 11 and really interested in Japan. Is there any recommendations on things I should start doing and are there job openings for foreigners in that area? Thanks! keep making great videos!

[EmuFmaFan]
