[TheLordEspada]

[chevychase]

You have lovely parents. You're so fortunate to have such loving and delightful parents.

[TheGlasgowPianist89]

lmao at 5:56 :D

[HaggisMacfee]

Excellent video, please keep the videos rolling on in.

[AnimeManga3000]

i would love to take my parents to akihabara and then see their reaction to all the otakus. that would be a very weird moment indeed snce they dont know anything about japanese pop culture.

[xxxrandomjamezxxx]

cool vid keep it up

[salishna]

btw ur dad reminds me of a slightly ghetto (i.e. awesome) version of santa claus

[salishna]

yay so glad i randomly saw you in the episode with ur parents on NHK here in london a few weeks ago! Tokyo Eye is an awesome show anyway, but my eyes popped out when your face appeared on it..in a good way ^__^

[ZMVPZ]

hey how did you get NHK in london?

[MrFarmel]

дядьку шо ты предков мучаеш га?

[LH075382]

i first heard the song mother and child reunion on the simpsons. touching song.

glad your parents had a good time! you're a good son.

[SIETETIZ]

oooohh so thats what u work is... y u never wanted to reveal that?

[LittlePinky82]

Maybe your folks can retire in Japan. ;) Your parents are cute! What was your parents favorite activity and food? I loved the behind the scenes video of your show. Diet Tab? Hehe. LOL about stupid hockey.

[TislamTheGreat]

WOW. I would love a list of the tour you gave your mom and dad seems like all the ideal spots to go to.

Thanks

PEACE

[nikonninja]

Nice job on this video session, that's amazing that NHK was willing to work with you and your parents. Props to them.

Keep up the cool work. A blogger "Tokyo Billy" told me about your channel. Good find.

[gortaithe]

your parents are adorable! your dad seems very kind and your mom looks like a sweet scots/irish biddy! very nice footage of all the places you've been. thank you for posting this. it made me miss my parents. *le sob*

[AxRoDz]

you have an awesome job, in a way your a celebrity

[BigPurple121]

MORE VIDEOS!

[CerebrateHyatt]

Thank you for posting this. I'm thinking about visiting someone who lives in Japain, and this makes me feel better about doing it.

[healingv1sion]

btw, I wonder how many ppl make food talk before cooking it, I do that too lol

[healingv1sion]

trains running at 2:11am?

FUCKING AWESOME.

shiit I gotta play catch up on about 5 of these blog things, lol

[txmxax25]

Do you have sex over there man. Just need to know. Besides a prostitute.

[skellington93]

you are so much like your dad, its silly :3

[KeishiRein]

I've been following your videos for around a year now, and all I can say is that you deserve more views

<3 5/5

[lPSTutorialsl]

Yeah he does but most viewers are aimed at people with the interest in Tokyo and Japanese culture. Look at all his ratings for all videos, I would say 99% are 5 stars! XD

[avernikas]

If you're ever in doubt old man, you're among the best, remain true even when things get silly and depressing. Be true and continue.

[IZzachan]

your dads sooo cute :D

"the flight is looong but to see kevin is worth it"

aww x}

5*

[Toontownrocks1992]

Finally found the units video! Great as usual. We are turning into true fans of tokyocooney. love you. Mary and Sara

[3dsmaxuser7]

Kevins cool. I mean first he moves to japan to teach english. Now he;s doing all sorts of activites. It makes me want to got there.

[ahcult]

your parents seem cool

[snarf66]

This reminds me of when my Mom came to Japan to visit me for 2 weeks in 2006. I can't wait to get her back to Japan again.

You're on TV? Wait, did you say it's on Monday nights at 11? I'll have to check that out tonight. I'm sure I've seen it and you on NHK, but I never really made the connection with you on Youtube.

[btdt88]

kinda hurts how real life blasts its way into the hobbies...

[monik704]

Looks like you got a nice new place!! Congratulations!! I am wondering if kenji got a new nice place as well :P

[samfisherkiller]

Hrmmm the website link is not working :(

[FitchKid92]

[RubbeRxD]

i enjoy your blogs they are pretty much a tv series to me as far as quality. great content, informative with breaks of humor, and just overall awesome sauce. it gives someone who doesn't live there a view of japan without the learning curve. a person can watch a show without any knowledge at all and follow. i try and watch new ones when they come out and have been subscribed. so, thank you cooney for all your time and effort. ^.^

[Neiliooooo]

I remember that you said you were moving or something. I bett you are enjoying the extra space...

[HoshiChips56]

holy crap man, nice house! youve been really moving up while you were gone huh?

looks like you had an awesome time with your parentals. awesome vid,

[thedragon360]

Kevin is there any taco bell in japan?

[mastahblastah1]

I've never seen any Taco bell in Japan so far. There are only fancy and expensive Mexican restaurants in Japan. bur hey, at least there a lot of M'cdonalds, subway, starbacks, burger king in Japan. feel a bit better now?

[Belfson]

Nice video, one of your best i think ;) all the shots from diffrents places that i visited i May, damn, less than one year til i can travel back, i love Tokyo so much :)

[shenlon2]

I saw that on NHK the other week... great job ^^

[megamanxu]

your dad talks like my grandpa. really fast and informative, and really to the point.

[sasukexuchiga]

mmmm goyza

[Vinniebearinpa]

Great vid Kevin! By the way, have you ever done a vid on your new digs? I can't seem to find it if you did one. Keep up the great work! Vinnie from Westbury (Now in PA)

[IronShigeru]

The shots with you, and BOTH your hands on camera, were a little weird. lol

[winstonlove1975]

Kevin, your parents are so sweet! And your videos are always entertaining. I wish I could check in more often..do you do facebook?

Glad to see your keeping busy. :)

[JakkuXsama]

I have Nhk on my tv and two days ago, on the 20th, I was flicking channels and found it, and tokyo eye was on it, i saw it, the one with your parents, it was really good, im gonna keep watching it :)

[octoClutz]

you look baaaaaaaaaare like your mum you know!! lool... nice video

[Theowest]

NIACE!

[jshindo]

Kevin also appears in Corpus100English NHK and he really does a great job in the show. I liked it very much because the program teach me more practical English language. But unfortunately not so funny as the Youtube Vlog though,LOL,maybe it's because he can't use F-word :D

[19fas88]

bullshit the trains are always on time.... my train was 20 minutes late today.

[irishdigitaldiver]

Just saw the show on NHK World..really cool.

[porlon2]

i just saw you on nhk tv kevin......i really notices that your hands shake too much and it's all about food....

[FatesWishes]

Its all good Kevin

Your being a good son and we cant wait for some new stuff about Japan

I still can't wait to see your new place

I check for a new video everyday lol

Keep it up Cooney!!

[furiosa01]

I'm a bit confused because I'm in Australia, but has it already been aired on satellite TV (NHK world) or when will it be, maybe can anyone tell me what time Tokyo time, because that's only an hour difference here, thanks... ^_^

[NumbFaction]

Im watching you on Tokyo Eye! SO COOL MAN!

[kabayis]

Hey Cooney! Good to see you back, I find it amazing how many people think about you through out normal life and wonder if you are dead or alive. Looks like your moving on up! I have an idea for you, you should give us a tour of your new place mtv cribs style. Also where the fuck is Kenji? We want Kenji !!! lol

[SwtMsT]

your dad is pretty much doing what my dad would (except with football/Giants) if he was in Japan...clinging to his link to US sports XD

You have nice parents to come all that way to visit you :)

[key11207]

nooo i dont wanna go in nooo LOL

[refreshNhappy]

Ha! Your mom's like 'Yeah, what he said'' lol....

[DivineContrast]

NHK World is totally awesome :) unfortunatly they stoped broadcasting in dual languages, and now broadcast in english only over satellite :/ shame :)

My Japanese learning is going down haha.

[ChivKnight]

Hey cooney, know why alot of shows are "interrupted for copy right reasons"?

[lilipunkita]

Make us happy cooney!!! hey it's that your new apartment? its cool men!

love you!

[zeppidy]

shit piss fuck! yay cooney you rock! I love your vids WB!!

[NiccoZ]

Thanks for exploring Japan with us Kevin. Keep the videos coming!

[AKATheWrench]

Tab is the first 1 calorie cola. I throw it in people's faces.

[maverick9900]

I can't give you a tab unless you order something.

[Axe336]

Sounds like fun. Are you sponsered by Starbucks now or something? I mean, nice angle on the shot and all, but they should be givin' you some cash if they aren't. If it wasn't midnight right now I'd be thinking about going to grab a cup.... In Japan.... Which is horribly impractical from the east coast -_-......

[furiosa01]

I love watching Tokyo eye on NHK World here in Australia!!! Its awesome!

[OnMyWay2TokyoU]

if nothing is playing, does that mean it doesnt work, or what? CONFUSED!

[OnMyWay2TokyoU]

FEAR THE PARENTAL FRUSTRATION!!!!

[michelelisa]

3 and a half weeks with your parents! lucky boy!

BTW, do you know the name of that restaurant in Kagurazaka that was by the water? I've been there many years ago, but I totally forgot where and what its name was.

Glad your parents had a good trip!

[mellar]

For anyone interested in the NHK network in Britain - its sky channel 516. There are quite a lot of helpful/interesting shows on it including Tokyo Eye.

[FitchKid92]

Thanks!

[limestarinc]

Hi grandma, grandpa.

Love,

Bunlap

[slypsi]

Awesome! Japan rocks, just got back from a holiday in Tokyo & Osaka going to return for sure in the future.

I saw the english teaching show that is mentioned Lol it was sort of creepy but in a good way. Good work Cooney San!

[lonebun]

[ernis1100]

& what about hot springs? & zoo's??

[TechMansoor]

I wonder..whats the ratio of women to men in Japan??????? Does anyone know?

[wasabiP]

HAHAH I was in the love hotel flickin through the channels, and just then I saw your hilarious english show (not on one of the less reputable channels mind you). Pretty much blew my mind, I was overcome by fits of surprised laughter, and my gf was just like, who the hell is that...? Anyways, I`m glad your parents had a great time, they seem like wonderful people and you`re lucky to have them :)

[SpinningBirdKick1]

Do you ask the people on the trains if they wanna be recorded on camera? Idk, I pulled out my camera twice while on a Tokyo train, and realized from the kind of looks that they thought it was really rude.

[seklarwia]

Great to see that your parents enjoyed themselves.

I've seen you on doing the sketches for the language show.... they are more than a little amusing to watch.

Keep up the good work and we're looking forward to seeing all the vids to come : )

[hayatotheninja]

I agree with your dad. Stupid hockey!

[nsahler]

i could see you in your fathers face :]

[Lizzarazo]

[knightphillip]

Welcome back, and don't worry about the long breaks, hm?

[CosplayTakeout]

I just wanted to say that I love your videos, and I appreciate that you take time out of your day to make them.

[AmericanAdol]

[daughterofthemoirae]

I saw one of your sketches for the english teaching tv show when I was in Tokyo a couple of weeks ago. It was cool, yet surprising to see you :)

[ericsurf6]

Good to see you back Cooney, and nice meeting your parents! Makes me remember the time my parents came to visit me in Japan back in '95. I should dig out that old video I made of their trip.

[chrismecking]

Thanks again for sharing your impressions! Even when it is a very busy time for you right now! Love to see your videos everytime again! Have a not too stressful time!

[smokingbandit67]

once again cooney, you keep me watching the whole 10:25 of the video.

[steebgreeb]

Wow you look just like your dad.

Make sense really seeing as he's your dad.

[DryeLint]

"Tokyo Cooney"? Sorry I don't know any Tokyo Cooney. I did about 3 weeks ago, but he's dead to me now.

Dead and gone.

[maneneko]

Aww This video gives me the warm fuzzies. You're a good son and you have wonderful parents.

[maneneko]

Will watch jibtv if I can get SilverLight to work on my Mac!

[Strideo1]

I can't get it to work on windows.

At least I don't think it works. Either that or jibtv just shows white screens all the time.

[btbamfan20]

FINALLY! YAYNESS!

[cheeezon]

the first video i've seen as subscriber :) good stuff

[gnawershreth]

Awesome and funny as always. Good job, Mister Cooney. ;)

[robadho]

Blue M&Ms, Asti Spumante and Diet Tab! You sure know how to take care of your parents!

[UbiquitousGeek]

Did you take them to the Tsukiji fish market?

[Twoface227]

Glad you enjoyed the time with your folks Kevin. Think it's awesome they got to come out and spend so much time with you, and even got to see your life here. Was neat seeing some of the places you all went too.

[schokolatita]

Nooo your dad doesnt like hockey?!

But he was so sweet to say that seeing you was worth the trip... :)

[theuglyninja]

great vid kev your mum and dad are fantastic , cant wait till the 20th many thanks

[keyfob]

"To see kevin is worth it"

wow thats so nice your parrents said that,  mine would never lol

[DeityFlyingSpur]

I have been online since 1999 and your vlogs brought me to YouTube more often than before. I wanted to watch a channel about Japan and your channel was the first (and most entertaining) channel that I stumbled upon. After so many videos its good to see youre still devoted to YouTube. And dont worry, the post are definitely worth the wait.

[cloddiehoppers]

Nice new pad! You oughta do another apartment tour vid soon. I kinda miss your small old apartment from before. Sorta grew on me with a charm of its own, but that's OK, your new home looks homey!

[dray3000]

being a good son makes you a exelent you tuber

[nekosun]

Dude that was epic

[nghiemoo]

no need to apologize man keep up the great work

nice video :D

[capnrojos]

Did your parents like Kabuki?

[winkiiV]

this is really sweet

[roppongisan]

See you in Japan soon. Maybe you can get me an acting gig too!

[ChivKnight]

Wow its good to hear from you again! I admit I actually thought you might have kicked the bucket or something and no one knew enough to let us know. =/ Regardless, glad to hear from you again!

[SaturdayTerra]

Jibtv works but theres certain shows however ,that say "because of copyright reasons" wont work =/

[Thsiscool]

lol nice!

[HB2GraphitePencil]

Damn, stupid hockey game depriving people of their Mets!

[selllout101]

lol return of the baby head pastries

[mofosstolemyusername]

We get NHK World here in the uk, I shall set your show to record!

[grkpoko]

loved the video cooney well worth the wait m8. :D

[MaxamillionGat]

aww your dad is adorable

[6663000]

I think it's awesome that you are on TV and stuff in Japan. You are a person who really should be on television, it seems like a great job for you.

Your parents seem like great people, I liked it how part of the video was sort of like your fathers vlog. He seems like a good guy, except that he doesn't like hockey. As a good Canadian i have an obligation to tell him to go f**k himself. (just kidding Mr.Cooney)

Anyways, great video. I look forward to the vlogs to come.

[LordBalto]

JibTV never works! It keeps giving me this "copyright" BS.

[FuturesCEO]

I have JapanTV so I wonder if it'll be on the 20th! Fantastic video again and I hope for more as usual Kevin!

[misokatsu99]

Unlike youtube, ニコニコ動画, googlevideo, blogtv, stickam and most other video sites your jibtv site does not work on linux etc. How about making the site more like what the web was designed for, that is crossplatform information sharing. I do have moonlight 2 preview installed. Please fix jibtv

[johnnydeppfan89]

ur dining table is beautiful!!!!

[STRAPP3DnB00GST3R]

KENJI!!!! where are youuuuuuuu!?!?!?!?

[ninetysevenpoint3]

I will never forget you!!

[prisoner1138]

WTF?

Where is Kenji? All this time, and we get a new video, and nothing about Kenji? I want a refund, this is bull$#!@. And don't ask me what you're refunding since I watch your videos for free, I dunno, but that's not what's important here, kenji is.

[AzNxBuddha]

Yay, a new vlog, awesome video as always man

[NerdtheKid]

I am homo for your vlogs.

:D

[SaraSohma7]

yay your back! ^ ^

your on tokyo eye?! thats cool!

[animechick1992]

we all had miss you T.T

i am so glad you are back

you sooo rock ^^

[lovveblackberry]

wat is the most biggest comic book cumpeny there in japan?

[6663000]

cumpeny? lol
