Woo! Go kick Bandai's ass!

How are you going with getting helpers for your project?

I think it's awesome that you're going to be living your dream, that in itself is going to inspire a lot of people. :)

[gabi326jjk]

down? I meant like the word for early morning, I'm not English so correct me please

[ToLokyo]

Hehe - it took me a minute to understand.

You mean "dawn".

Ever seen the movie "From Dawn to Dusk"?

Dusk is the opposite - when the sun goes down.

I love dawn too! ^_^

[gabi326jjk]

yeah I love down. its like being in twilight pretty magical i think

I like this 5 min vid style. this way i dont have to search all over the timelime if i want to watch something twice.

Once again, I offer my services as a translator for your CDG project. c u around.

[ToLokyo]

Thanks a lot!

My next vid is longer...about 7 minutes. But it's the main vid in the series and a bit of a climax vid, so I think it fits. Maybe a little wordy at times, but it's hard to hike and think straight at the same time. :(

Thanks SOOO much for your willingness to help. ^__^

I'm maintaining a list of everyone interested, and I'll be emailing you around February next year. That's when the hype will start to truly build before the project begins. I really appreciate all your support!

beautiful sight!!

[qchome]

i knew i was going to be jealous...& i am(please let me).no phones,nobody needing to speak with u for a few days,not needing to but anything,it is all sugui.

hope you got a chance to sip a few beers during your trip.

[ToLokyo]

Don't be jealous - let's plan a trip together next time. ^_^

Someone mentioned YouTube camping trip -- sounds awesome to me. Maybe next Spring sometime.

I had one local "ji-beer" on this trip, but mostly drank sake. This area has really good and cheap sake. The sake in Niigata, Nagano, and Fukushima are unbeatable. Places with good rice and good water - the best spots for sake. :D

[crimsonigloo]

Wow! So pretty ^_^ [x]

[ToLokyo]

Right!?

Hope you can visit there someday. ;)

How & Where do you sleep at night? What gear do you have? How cold does it get at night?

[ToLokyo]

I slept in a tent for 3 nights and in a "cottage" one night. The next video will probably be in the cottage (like a Japanese Inn).

The gear...well, most of it was covered in the first vid. I also have a Coleman 1.5 person tent, a Coleman backpack, friend's sleeping bag, and little pieces here and there. If you can only get one thing, I recommend the Therm-a-rest NeoAir mat. Sleeping well beats anything, and you can use it to sleep comfortably anywhere, anytime. :D

[Degenskonto]

Sounds awesome.

Well its gonna take a few years before i have any time for that kind of stuff, planning to finish school and get a degree first... and then gonna go to japan for japense studies for a year or two

[anwahi]

These short bits are working out fine and build anticipation for the next video. I find your exploring the world videos more interesting than the white-walled room videos. At first, I didn't pay much attention to your Caught Doin' Good project, but now I see that you are serious by attacking Mt. Bandai.  Keep it up!

[ToLokyo]

Yay~!!

Each person I can win over to the project is a huge step forward! This is the kinda project that's really gonna need support from everyone the help get it out there. I'm really glad you could see how serious I am about this. I don't think I've ever been so serious about anything in my life.

Trust me - if I could make money for the trip by exploring the world rather than being in a white-walled room, I'd do it. ^^

Thanks for watching~!!

[Raener]

Wow, nice shots. Thanks for sharing! :) Looked uplifting.

[ToLokyo]

It was a very uplifting holiday!

Nothing like nature to suck out the poison of big city life. ^^

[Raener]

I couldn't agree more :)
