Life in Tokyo Vlog# 44: The Middle of Nowhere

[Deadeye313]

2:10-2:50 win!

[Nuzubaki]

after all the differenc between japan and any other english speaking country is way too big

[YouveStolenMyEyes]

that is a really beautiful version of jesu joy of man's desiring..

[jakeears]

Why Don't you want to eat the melon? haha I remember that from one of your earlier vids about going home.......

[kingkongzilla34]

at 2:35, something runs past him in the background

[Choice777]

hey look at 2:35  there's a wolf or something going behind the trees, just above your nose. and passes to the leftmiddle on the screen. WOW. scary

[elitotaku]

yeah i saw that to.

i was like run tokyocooney or it will eat you.

[TicTacTractor]

@Choice777 looks like a car's roof

[mamuay]

Love it - watching it is kinda sad somehow - most of your videos are very funny and very sad and very lonely and very real - hehehehe if that makes sense - this one is on the sad side

[oonemesisoo1337]

holy crap what is that in the background around 2:36?

[lateblossom]

This is still my fav episode. I don' know why. it just is. I guess it's the magic of going home.

[TokyoWhiteBoi]

At 2:36 there is a small animal in the background running through the snow near his face.

[OhStopWithThis]

mmm, fluff and chips... lol

[narutowatcher54]

That guy at 1:44 had HUGE ears!

What about Taco Bell!?

And that sometimes happens to me at 5:20 to 6:09

[CARALALALALA]

god i miss home

[LitlePrinzess]

Does it ever snow in tokyo?

[Quantumlogik]

yep he has a video about where it did snow there

[Akakiba15]

it looks so much like rochester in the winter

[Shro0m]

wow the pizzas are so bloody big in america

[will5125]

Fluff is like melted marshmallow that you usually use on peanut butter sandwiches. Idk how he was eating it with sun chips :D.

[CerebrateHyatt]

What's Fluff?

[cangriman0101]

What's Fluff?!?!?!

O.O

[CerebrateHyatt]

Ol' Fluff 'n' ready?

[AnhyMedia]

Look at 2:35 directly past your nose. I see a vehicle drive by! You have vehicles coming out of your nose lmao

[wehrmanj]

Love the mom-son dialogue, perfect. That fluff looked disgusting though.

[Roxas80]

after watching all those tokyo vids it's nice to see some familiarity and.....piano music.

[bluesheeft]

Nice music over the top.

[mikeg9696]

omg 2:37 what is that in the back?!lol multigrain chips and marshmalllow fluff ;D

[Romancandle88]

[Relatharr]

Multigrain snacks dipped in Marshmallow Fluff. Now *that* is a balanced meal...

[LordDanZor]

I like how in every video you're eating something lol.

[onelife87]

My mom is just like that...

Mom: "Honey, you want something to drink?"

Me: "No mom, I'm fine thanks"

Mom: "Are you sure?"

Me: "Yea"

Mom: "I have beer, pepsi, mountain dew"

Me: "Jesus Christ mom, I'm fine..."

lol

[ivan351]

lol, too true

[deadeyeslave]

i seen somthing move in the woods....! big foot.

no, but i realy did at 2:38

[minttablett]

you're right! :O

[BIGNAVBIG]

it looked like a wolf

[SnarkyBarnacle]

I'm making my way through all your videos, I'm so upset I only recently found you when you've been making videos for so long. :P

[syriangamer]

Same here. I actually WENT to japan. I could have met up with him :( oh well. maybe next time

[mspatti]

The best look on your face... when you were talking to your mom.

I'd like to see more of that guy.

[akiliase]

loved the ending ... mom im trying to film something here looool

[Deedlit79]

You didn't film far enough back in the woods. I saw a car or two go by in the far background. Tee hee! I used to live in NY. Near Albany NY for 21 years. Now I'm in WI. Weeeee! Weather here is like no other. It's quite literally... retarted.

[blproducer]

..."It's like being in an arctic research station...with your parents". ^_^

[vcmods3012]

2:33 animal in front of his nose....well a little after that..

[traitorsai943]

ray's pizza is so good!!! I had some when i was in nyc for new years.

[FatesWishes]

LMAO! come out in Disney fashion and sing!

[tarabiru]

haha with bloopers...!

[iamtheJuJuBean]

You wanna pear?

[mallet1987]

[XxDarkDiazxX]

LOL blooper at the end, nice.

[kadhine]

Yay!

O'Lunneys! (behind the giant rat)

[fullmetalfunk]

man you eat alot. lol.

[ggcgsg]

watching these blogs, along with other's also, makes me feel good to be alive.

[thelyzardiam]

Nice there is a car in the background that passed. LOL

[anarchistnation69]

Fluff is amazing.

[Aanidaani]

Nice shots of the city man. This is a good vid.

[6663000]

It snowed fro the first time this year where i live (Nova Scotia) it looks pretty much like it does in the woods there. Since New York and Nova Scotia are very geographically similar.

Good video, i coulden't help but laugh out loud a few times :)

[gnookergi]

They have Fluff in New York? I always thought that was a Massachusetts only thing.

[6663000]

They have fulff here in Canada for gods sake.

[gnookergi]

No need to be a dip about it. It is predominantly a Massachusetts thing so my question was justified.

[hellobooom]

lol fluff used to be in the uk lol

[nordicberserk]

WTF is fluff?

[fullmetalfunk]

the greatest thing ever. period.

[nordicberserk]

Ok. Could you be more speciffic?

[fullmetalfunk]

If you must know...It's just like one big jar of marshmallow. lol. Put it on grham crackers. It'll blow your dome peice.

[OhMySavy]

It looked like a gray wolf. D:

[lonewolfgirl]

Should've had the snoopy christmas theme song...

Godzilla in Japan, Giant Rats in America

[IcemanDK]

Hahahaha, that giant rat is outside my girlfriend's school. Also, production values have gone way up, man. Go you.

[Zyfah]

There's a frickin animal at 2:41.

OH, now i get it. Tokoyocooney is santaclaus.

And that was just one of his raindeers.

THats why noone can find santa. Because he live in japan -.-

[kolkkonet]

That scenery could as well be from eastern Finland at Christmas time. Awesome. Minus the possibility of escaping to a large city. Yeah... awesome.

Enjoy your vlog a lot, btw.

[Daycomb]

2:38 at cooneys nose just on the middle of the screen there is either a car which i doubts since it is in the middle of nowhere, Or its a wolf!!

Love the imitation btw :D

[tkdruan]

at 3:19 where hes on top of some really high building in nyc, he looks like ironman

yes? no?

[darkhero651]

Are you trying to say he looks like Tony Starks

[repersonudonknow]

I love the arrangement of the Bach's tune.

beautiful♪

[dory98]

whoa ur bags of chips r freaken massive and ur slices of pizza too. that slice of pizza is like 1/3 of a pizza for us O.o

[zackari]

did any one else see that between 2:37 and 2:40 something maybe a beaver maybe a dikfer but it's in the background

[rrddhh]

You love saying "good times were had".

[Holden599GTB]

At 2:37 somthing moves in the back ground, i wonder wat it was, hmmm

[rrddhh]

I thought it was a car.

[Jcool663]

So where are you from exactly?

[aaronranmafan]

Taco bell?

[ice258man]

At first, it looked like a scene from Blair Witch Project...

[elaurenta]

FLUFFF

[SasukeAndKenshinGirl]

EEP i saw sasquatch in 2:36

[kulisutal]

somthin walked by in the background, around 2:34 - 2:40

[furaidopoteto]

Okay, maybe it not THAT warm and fuzzy over there at this time of the year.

[furaidopoteto]

Great video of your time in New York! Well, though I don't live in the states, but it seems that there's nothing that beats the warm fuzzy feeling of home huh?

[Archronos1]

u got a Blair witch project thing goin' on at the beginning.

[demonicprophet]

LOL fluff and chips OMG i must try that now.

[biukucanoe]

Man, that's a great 90 seconds of NYC in there. Gotta do a Seattle clip like that.

[biukucanoe]

my kids couldn't believe the ice cream, now I'm gonna have them try fluffs and multigrain chips.. who knows maybe it will catch on here in Seattle.

[jescalia]

Still no parents... just a dead on impersonation of the old man. It was the old man you were doing, right?  And a disembodied sweet voice from my past. xo Njoe

[ShaderZ]

Hey, what was that creature lurking around in the background at around 2:36.... maby one of those scary animals you were talking about eh? :P

[blahk04]

hah how did u notice that. It's like a fox, or sasquatch. not sure.

[importedmegami]

Haha, she actually DID ask you to have some melon.

[Abaraxies]

LMAO

young and the restless.

my mom watches that show,every time we come back to America

>.>

[willkoopa]

lol, I've seen the giant rat when I went to NYC last year.

Hope the 'woodland critters' didn't rape you or anything. ;)

[bionicbobo5]

lol i get it!!! from southpark lol

[schokolatita]

I REALLY enjoyed this video. Thanks Kevin! I wish I could be in NYC around holidays...!!

[grungewerx]

Great video, man! Keep them coming!

[Zpik3]

Hummm... You are standing next to a road, so stop yapping about the deep "forest" ;)

Reflections in your glasses =P

But nice place, looks a lot like Finland =)

[MDK231]

Hope you had a good one! Easily one of your best videos yet, the editing was excellent XD!

[bluesephir75]

Have a happy new year! Great videos...keep them comming.

[habiebiee]

Did you buy anything for Kenji from NY?

[thetruemorg]

did anyone else notice the deer when cooney is pretending to be his mother?

[BabyGirlGoddess]

yea i saw it around 2:38.

[thetruemorg]

just under cooneys nose

[animegirlnaruto]

omg how extremely funny XD I was in Southern New York for Christmas lol But I wasn't able to go to New York City because my mom wouldn't drive T.T lol I love the beginning and the researcher part XD very funny, keep 'em coming :P and Merry Christmas ^^ (happy new year too :P)

[gloria45]

what the hell were you dunking your chips into?

[shrgnatlas]

I think it's sour cream. I really hope it wasn't mayonnaise.

[AS91]

First thing, he wasn't eating chips, but cookies =P and he was dunking them into "fluff", that's marchmallow cream and tastes uber delicious *_*

[frbird51]

Hmm, those are definately chips... 'sunflower chips' at that, I'll agree with you on the fluff tho..... creamy marshmallow goodness.

[Zpik3]

Yep, chips... Sunflower ones as frbrd51 said..

No idea what that "fluff" tastes like, but if its sweet it definitely should not go with chips =|

[elgroomez]

Cooney I always enjoy your videos.  Thanks for the information and entertainment over the past year of my life. =)

[Fagleboo]

That Fluff stuff seems pretty damn repulsive. It's pretty screwed up that there is that much snow in New York and only rain in Sweden^^

[dearrfriend]

your mom is cracking me up -

it's just like your other video.

"have some melon". oh man.

i love these videos.

[osexygirlfriend]

wow......your camera angels get better ever new video, ive been watching your videos for a year and now the shots that your taking and your camera make it look and feel like a show.....

[ZhnYe]

:3 Glad you're having fun in the US.

[AndySan]

Hey Cooney! I really enjoy your vids and I was wondering if you would do a video about the relationship between gaijin and the Japanese. I'm asking this because I really want to visit and possibly live in Japan but my mom says that they're very racist over there. I don't believe that, but I'd like to know for sure from someone who lives in Japan. Thanks a bunch!!

[tokyocooney]

Quality of life- Tokyo

Quality of work - NY

[Misanthrope330]

YaY MoMs!!!!They are all the same thats good to see^.^

[TheMrSean]

Hey, Kevin. Love your videos and your website. My wife and I discovered them before our first trip to Japan last April. I can just imagine what it was like for you eating New York pizza after so long in Japan. Even though I really like some Japanese food, just two weeks and I was dying for a real hamburger. Enjoy your time home with the folks and Happy Holidays.

[kyounotemawa]

Dude, who did you fly from Boston to home (U.S. home, that is)? More importantly, when do you fly back? That airline with the small airplanes, that might be the same one I used to work for. If so, check with your travel agent. They are about to go out of business...Jan 7th is their last day in Boston, and knowing their history, they may close shop sooner than that. It would make for good vlog material though!!

[tokyocooney]

Yeah, my flight has disappeared. Im gonna have to take a train down to NYC and fly out from there. Fricking Big Sky!!!! Oh well.. thats life.

[pinkspideruk]

Your FAT in america!!

[prasise]

dude!! its christmas and i managed to watch all the life in tokyo vids today! just found ya this morn...you freakin rock bro. and yes i did spend time with my fam if anyone asks...cant wait for more, peace

[tokyocooney]

Wow... you should get some kind of award for that. Or medication. Im not sure which. Thanks for watching them. You rock.

[prasise]

It just speaks on how awesome your videos are!!! I've been wanting to go over to Japan for sooooo long and these vids have fascinated me. Thankyou so much for all of them! Keep 'em coming PLEASE :) Happy Holidays by the way.

[auntbijou]

Wow. I have to say, I am shocked... SHOCKED... that you didn't go to Taco Bell, and show yourself chowin' down on Gorditas!!

And, I'm sorry, but multigrain chips and marshmallow fluff??? EURGH!!! *laughs*

My kids want you to build a snowman for them, though, because, well, we're down here in Texas and... no snow.

[kensuzukivideos]

Bill Nye the Science Guy in the snow!

[Akissa]

You look cute eating that junk food XD

[ButterRivaLs]

Wow, "middle of nowhere" is quite a change from Tokyo. Maybe your trip to Manhattan gave you a little "city fix" until you go back? I'm glad you have the singing woodland creatures to make friends with. :)

[tokyocooney]

Yeah, Im missing the city to be sure.

[mini7donkey]

good video but your probably going to gain like 5 pounds before you come back to Japan. Enjoy!!!!

[hyperk2]

Ah HA! I see what you did there.. I saw a car drive by in the background of the "Middle of Nowhere" scene. Not so far out there eh?

[myargonauts]

Love the shot juxtaposing the stretch limo and the Salvation Army charity workers. Nice catch. But please, no more shots of Pizza - you're killing me. I had yakisoba today for Christmas dinner. :P

[tokyocooney]

Hee hee... pizza. :)

[AzNxBuddha]

been watching since vlog #1, cant wait to see your next vlog

[tokyocooney]

I know... thanks for sticking with me all this time.

[fireraider747]

Young and the restless, Interesting choice Cooney...

[sindizzy7437]

Ah not a frankburger in sight only hot dogs, when you ordered it did they stare at you?

[SatoNiji]

Lol, you're so cute. x3

[yellowman88]

merry christmas. You captured the holidays very nicely

[omanafire]

Too much time in the wilderness can lead insanity. Hope you get back to civilization soon. Peace

[yoyodojo3]

were you dipping your multigrain chips in marshmallow cream? (

[stryfe604]

the giant rat reminds me of the giant alien spider laying eggs in roppongi hills. seriously what is up with that thing.

[the6thmonkey]

the end was so funny.

[hiyaaaa619]

merri kurisumasu ^-^

xx

[W3dotCOM]

Well I hope your Christmas is pleasant. Did you sample any melon?

Cheers, and Merry Christmas.

[tokyocooney]

[priceandpride]

[tokyocooney]

Here I didnt. I used it in my shibuya video a couple vids ago, and it came out awful so Ive just been using the built in mic.

[NoSolicitingTV]

What's a DickFur... HA HA HA!

[tokyocooney]

Im not surprised, but you seem to be the only person who got that Brian.

[TheTurbinator]

[tays0002]

Thanks for sharing the Christmas Spirit!

(I love the clips of the ice skaters and St.Patrick's Cathedral, Beautiful!)

[qualqui]

[qualqui]

btw, see ya got the same taste in chips, them multigrain sour cream and onion are COOL! but what was that fluffy stuff? Marshmallow creme? Try 'em with salsa, yumm!

[tokyocooney]

[dodo3070]

rofl

[Vinniebearinpa]

What,You haven't hit the Taco-Bells yet!? And what the heck was that behind you at 2:36? Someone sledding perhaps? Great vid as always! Merry Christmas to you!

[tokyocooney]
