[theroxorman48]

id get the most air lag if i went to japan.

[SultanOfSwords]

Dude, I almoust cryed while watchibg the video! Make it more colourful and happy! :p. BTW is it just me, or is Japan White and Gray?

[MrWillager]

im thinking of going for the fall semester and winter semester, perhaps stay at the dorm, i was looking at guest houses but the rooms are crazy small for the amount of money, I know cuz its in tokyo but still

[PRod88LA]

good edited clip congrat:)

[IceDragonGoku]

i wish i lived in japan, the houses are just like in anime and manga !

[MarkFrankJPN]

@IceDragonGoku yep small and lacking central heating

[MadamDum]

I love the way you shot this. Where you put the camera and the music.

[Oshenek117]

I'm at KCP now and I must say your video kinda hit it on the nose. idk if you meant for this, but the slight sadness relates well to the idea of being away from everyone you know, as well as wondering the streets of Tokyo, which are full of people, yet can be completely lonely because people don't really communicate. AMAZING SCHOOL BTW! I'm kinda upset that I went to college in the states, I wish I could have just come here years ago so that I could progress from 1 to the last MS.

[Jimbrown946]

I WANNA GO THERE! yea, yea, be happy that you are alive at all.

[secretguythatscool]

dude did u ever get to school lol

[tsukiandyami]

are you too tall or is it just the doors? :P

[MarkFrankJPN]

@tsukiandyami both

[buraburayoshi]

Somehow this video seems very sad and lonely...

[gaivsimo]

do you really have to change your shoes at school or is it just in anime?!?!?

sorry, I've always had that doubt.....

[MarkFrankJPN]

@gaivsimo at KCP which is a language school everyone wore their shoes. In an actual Japanese school I donno. But College here is same as US just a lot easier.

[chimera15]

Nice shots, bit depressing.

[Tekkaku]

The name of the song is "Inside" by Fujii Fumiya.

Currently attending KCP, love it, but damn the Marunouchi line. >_>

[1jedimonk1]

nice video. what is the best way to learn practical Japanese if i want to go visit / move there?

[MarkFrankJPN]

@1jedimonk1 language school + Japanese girlfriend = best way to study

[1jedimonk1]

@MarkFrankJPN priceless advice. thanks

[coo446]

How did you get enrolled there? and all these years since the video is your japanese and kanji letters get better over the years?

[MarkFrankJPN]

@coo446 I enrolled. My Japanese has gotten better, but I stopped studying Kanji so that hasn't

[coo446]

@MarkFrankJPN so what's the primary writing in Japan? that you know?

[MarkFrankJPN]

@coo446 Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji

[ramenx2]

very nice film and music choice

[Ryukushinn]

i wanted to be born in japan!! its my dream to live there and study there

[forkedroad]

about how long would it usually take you to get to school from here you lived everyday if everything was on schedule?

and how did you find out about certain car/drifting scenes over there?

[MarkFrankJPN]

I lived 5 minutes away and the trains are almost always on time. I found out about cars by going out driving and talking to people.

[yowhat2]

magikano I'm the same

[RandomJtv]

Cool video! :D

I miss Japan. I loved it so much, that I was fighting back tears when it came time to leave.

I fell in love with Osaka big time. I honestly though Osaka would be this boring, backwards town that paled in comparison to Tokyo. But it was amazing. Tokyo seemed pretty 'meh' in comparison. The whole time I was there, I just wanted to bullet train it back to Osaka! *lol*

[magikano96]

i cant wait until im 18!!! me and my friends are going to live in japan...5 more years...5 more years lol ^_^

[Kimbaz101]

@magikano96 wow! my freinds nd i plan 2 do the exact same. just 4 more yrs

[Azigirl211]

[S0ANIMAT3D]

[FLCLeureka7]

lol m2 :)

[MarkFrankJPN]

I spoke a bit when I came over but I was there for language school so just studied Japanese everyday. At the school I went to, I was one of 2 American students in my class. Everyone else was Korean and some chinese.

[kungharry]

there are international schools, at least up to 12th grade... i went to smis (st mary's int school) until i turned 10 xD

[itchyb00]

is it good over there?

[MarkFrankJPN]

yes

[itchyb00]

Is it more or less compare to America, if you are American of course. If not, compare it to where you are from. I just want to know some facts and comparison.

[MarkFrankJPN]

I'm from America. America is awesome and so is Japan.  They both have good points and bad points.

[itchyb00]

Aight, thx =D

[Triclopse1]

Dang you're hot!

[MarkFrankJPN]

as long as you're a girl, I'm ok with this comment

[Triclopse1]

Yep I'm a girl! ;-)

Whats it like in Japan right now?

You're so lucky!!!

[MarkFrankJPN]

It's about 70 degrees

[itchyb00]

No, he's a guy, jk. Did you pay to go over tthere in japan or is it just a trip from school? I want to go to japan really bad and learn their culture and language ( japanese). There ways alway fascinated me for some reason.

[genesis131893]

nice vid! do you know the name of the song?

[sisterabulax21]

hey, do yo stand out a lot in Japan if your from america?... well im actually mexican but I Sometimes feel like I understand english more than spanish.... well, just asking since I love japan and hope to study there someday... Im 14

[MarkFrankJPN]

ha, yeah. Japan is 99.9% Japanese, so any non-Japanese sticks out. Sometimes it's good, other times it's bad

[BboyPhlo]

:S

lol that makes me shy to go to japan, I'm sure they don't see alot of blacks around there... Hopefully I can get stationed out there for my assignment next year or w/e.

[itchyb00]

Are you living there or something? You wanted to go there on your will to study?

[MarkFrankJPN]

Yeah, I'm living here. Yeah, I wanted to go on my own will to study.

[Triclopse1]

Thats awesome! I might be coming in december or on my birthday. Maybe I'll bump into you who knows...

[Monkeychief444]

wat's the song?

[rufoolish]

how much were the train tickets?

[MarkFrankJPN]

don't remember

[MoviPro]

probably 110 to 300 yen. maybe 450 if its really far? divide the numbers my 100 and thats the USD price

[MarkFrankJPN]

just checked, 160 one way. Since the dollar sucks now, 09/09 it's $1.74

[Theowest]

09:30 is very late for me. I usually wake up at 06:0

[bwilcrow]

Nice camera work there.

[xmusicfr3e]

You were very popular with the girl's right? cuz you're cute AND you're white (not being racist or anything) When i went to japan with my friends, my white friends were like sooooo popular. I guess it's like seeing an eclipse for them XD hahaha. btw how old were you here?

[MarkFrankJPN]

I donno, 22 or 23 maybe

[pumpfever]

Great video! I love japanese language and culture, I wish to go someday to study in japan, But I think I will have to wait to finish my second career when I will be 25, at what age did you go to Japan?

[MarkFrankJPN]

I donno, 22 or 23 maybe

[del787b]

hey mark are you fluent in japanese its kind of hard lang. i can only speak spanish and engl. but im working on japanese .jane

[MarkFrankJPN]

I don't think you can ever be fluent, but I'm still working on it.

[littlegal95]

something missing...where's your friend?you seems lonely in that video -.-lll

[jamal03]

ive always wanted to go to tokyo japan, hopefully one day soon

[KazukiAkimoto1987]

Do you like japan most than U.S.E?

[MarkFrankJPN]

U.S.E.? you mean U.S.A.? I like both

[ILoveGoodFellas]

I turned 18 the day you uploaded this

[Puregrl05]

[x3smv805x3]

[MarkFrankJPN]

[conngib8]

would you say you are an average sized man? cuz those doors look Small

[MarkFrankJPN]

Size, I'd say larger than average, but I'm 6'3 and yes the doors are small. At the time, the building I stayed in was pretty old though

[rata1r]

[MegadethONline]

[xQhimerax]

Dude, this is a really cool vid.

[MarkFrankJPN]

[hiromi87]

[myargonauts]

I'm lucky - I'm 182cm tall and my apt door jams are 185cm, so I don't have to duck everytime I walk thru the doors in my apt. Looks like you must be a little taller or have very short door frames. Nice vid. :)

[SharRey4]

[MarkFrankJPN]

This time was KCP International, but now I'm at Temple University

[YU1xp]

[seamonkeywater]

[Commitin]

[Soulend]

Thanks for sharing. I'm planing on moving there some time in the near future. I Enjoyed it very much. oh by chance could you share the name of the song?

[MarkFrankJPN]

It's called Inside by SADS. I got it off of a compliation CD

[Smurfed]

great video.

at the walking scenes did you have to walk back to get the camera?

[Yashagoro]

No, he probably left the camera there and bought a new camera for next scene :).
