Life in Tokyo #77: The Samba Carnival

[iWatchVids4]

That little bit at the end makes me miss your videos even more

[YentaY0]

House... Junior

[sppammm]

Cool festival! Good reporting... From your video, it looks like Brazilians make no apologies for having fun.

[9509ryan]

the bagpipes are scottish :/

[tonyp1928]

@9509ryan some irish and scottish traditions are shared

[PetitBrazil]

Hi, I'm from Brazil and would like to be friend of whom likes Brazil and Samba, my facebook and Myspace is Petit Brasil, thanks

[Dannyxcores]

That lady rules!!!!

[JiraiyaFan]

You look like a drug addict at the carnival lol.

[StrawberryFields1249]

@JiraiyaFan Thats what Meth does to you lol.

[Jimaera]

So these events are both basically like Mardi Gras without the beads, huh? Lmao @ the end.

[superbabykitsune]

sorry to say this but u look really old wth a bird

[andrew24p]

wowwow looking pretty rugged in this video cooney me likee

[Captain0Nuke]

I noticed that one of your eyelids is a little more shut than the other. Stay away from the blowfish. Just lookin out for you man.

[sushigerl]

oh cooney , your snarky / satirical comments just make my day :]

[gasato01]

It's a nice transcultural festival. Good for japanese people. But they do not look so funny as their Brazilian mates. They need loose much more their bodies and for doing that they probably also need to know much more about Brazilian costumes and culture and how that people think. Dance samba with grace and happiness will take some time.

[kmah88]

looks like carabana

[LittlePinky82]

The little kid waving to Billy Banks was so cute!

[winkwink628]

Man!! gotta love that chubby chick in the green around 07:40 she strutting everything she got

[iFukuyama]

Wanna hear something cool? 'Cause it took me a month to watch and comment on this video, I'm sure you'll read my comment =)

[psmtheman]

That "Nomu" Lady looks like Tanaka Naoki's Mom. I could have sworn that you were riding in a carriage when you were wearing the morpheus glasses. Dude... Thanks for another fucking badass video. You made me wanna do japanese related shit again.

[cooldan11]

no way theres brazilians in japan actual brazilians are there mexicans there

[sunflowerGirl1977]

Answering to your question:

more hair suits you better :-)

Andrea

[freeinjapan]

OH GOD NOT TWITTER D: !!!!!

[RARG9]

Japanese people loves Brazil

and brazilian loves Japan

lovely

[felixcatt112]

haha oh man the billy thing was classic, im digging all the jawaiian influences in ur videos bro, really vibing off of it

[monalisasmiles4you]

I mostly watch your videos to see the culture and personality of Japan. Really cool and thanks. And don't apologize for having a life lol

[monalisasmiles4you]

Yes TWITTER IS EVIL the end is near in 2012 lol jk but seriously Twitter is stupid.

[JermaineATL]

that would be hillarious if billy blanks was behind you LMAO...

[JermaineATL]

who is that guy playing the Ucayali? he looks like the guy from acidman. Theyre a good japanese music group.

[staticbb]

wowzers at that beard. When you got the ballcap on you look like Steven spielberg coming down on xanax.

high quality vid as always. DFTBA.

and spot on impression of billy. that woulda be awesome if he walked by and was like "wat da fuk"

[ivan351]

XD hahaha!!!, "forget that!"

[CycocelVocalist]

I'd love to see you play the bagpipes Kevin. lol

My thoughts on your appearance; I personally -love- the longer hair, but not all the facial hair. A goatee is okay just not a beard and especially not a neckbeard *shudders*

[bfrance2002]

When did this start? I don't remember it in the 90s.

[bluesheeft]

woot new cooney vid!

general entertainment, glad I can lip read pretty well (true).

but I really loved the part dwelling on the magic moment by the bar with the ukulele guys. it's those kind of surreal, wonderful moments that keep me fascinated with this place, and I wish I could convey them better. good work.

[arhamus]

すごいので、死んでいない

[kaizoku3]

I really hate this outside striptease called brazilian samba!!!!custom of barbarian or maybe.....they got mental ill in the DNA after the colonized....

[Parmenides480BC]

Lol to the donuts

[Thsiscool]

haha! ima go to japan one day!! haha

=3

[robertc190]

Lame Except for the Ass shaking going on LOL thanks

[SIETETIZ]

funny as always

[electrostarsz]

"Garrafa Plastica" hahahahahaha

[SelilaBlue68]

I've only just now read everything in this video's sidebar, and I noticed you'd like our opinions of which of your two looks in the vid suit you better--#2, for sure! However, in my opinion you look most like you in vid #64--to me that's your best look. The longer hair around your face makes you look SO much younger!

[D2NEntertainment]

You remind me of Ross from Friends. Also, you do look better without the grungy beard.

[lilstu20]

You.... Cooney...... Are An Absolute Youtube Legend.

Keep It Up :)

[ram11386]

lol  You look like a wino in this video... or was that the look you were going for?

[nickstrite]

im lookin for you cooney im in tokyo and have been for months now lemme take you out for a beer glad to see your back

[TinyLttleRobotsxX]

YAAYY!

Your back, its great to see you again Cooney!!!!!

^_^

[IZzachan]

yaaaaaaay

i love the hug part xD

so cute <3

[Tokyorichy]

we dont really play bagpipes in Ireland mate, maybe your thinkin of Scotland!

[choi4816]

Don't think the grungy beard is a good look for you.

[avernikas]

it's a hell of a lot better than keanu reeve's look.

[MarijuanaActivist]

About time man finaly a new tokyo cooney

[TheCanadianAsian]

would it be a smart idea to move to Tokyo right after high school? If not, why? what kind of visa should I get?

[SelilaBlue68]

Sometimes life really is too beautiful for words. It's those little moments of heaven that give us the strength to keep going here on earth. No words in any language can describe them.

[JohnF30Music]

Thanks for those series. I'm either visiting Tokyo or Paris next summer so your videos are definately of use.

[thepwnagedude2222222]

i hope you feel special. i just made a twitter all for you lol

[naughtymachinegun]

This video needs more Bill Murray

[DarM331]

Haha the ending was great.

[tokyocooney]

Nice timing!

[tokyocooney]

There is always next year!

[tokyocooney]

Kenji is not big enough to eat me yet.... yet.  He is getting close tho.

[InSpaceAndTime2012]

YAY Cooney!

I like your look now.

[TheRyad]

Very entertaining Cooney. Keep up the good work!

[allforass69]

To be honest, if i were working 12 hour days (not counting Tokyo traffic) and had not had a day off in months, I would have probably forgotten youtube and taken the extra time to try and keep myself together. People need down time, and not having it is NOT good, even for the busiest of busy bodies.

[mikedarko]

yes! the legendary tokyocooney returns!! lol even though the footage is a little bit old its still a good vlog!^^

glad your back.lol keep making videos!

[EnnuiVee]

hahaha. oh. That put a smile on an otherwise downward spiraling day.

[Fonzi79]

When was this video taken? Cause it looks like it is summer time there but it's NOV and I know this is there fall time just like the US!

[160thSOAR]

kudos to the costume designer!

[AAV240sx]

lol "eat up fatty!"

[NataliaMeln]

the "after" hair was interesting the "old" hair is definitely better though :)

[DavePerry2012]

He wins one best vlogger award and suddenly has no time for us. ;-)

[54l0HC1N]

date some of those japanese short skirts and don't forget your camera!

[BoredAsa2x4]

at 9:14 you look like the mad hatter cooney lol

[l1k3f1r3]

Its always this "life" stuff getting in the way... someone has got to do something about that! It gets in the way of me watching the videos as well! Its horrible!

[SatoNiji]

mmm malasada. it's also a portuguese treat but like fried bread dough.

[AkitaAbroad]

Tae bo to donuts... he's a real renaissance man.

[IamFatnickc]

Great to see another vid!

eo

[tenkuunokage]

nice vid

[BerserkReap909]

lol "The Coonster" nice

[PTSnake]

[theuglyninja]

[Boscii2222]

Sugoi! What a very nice rememberance of a summer matsuri.

[halfacat1]

[blitzcon007]

Still the king of snarky comments in Tokyo...thanks for the video!

[dylnordstrom]

Dont worry Cooney

[akira117]

What he said, we are sad like that :p

[pp9000]

happy to see you again.^_^

[MrElzar]

you came back! YES!!

[RavensDryad]

aw, the part where you met up with your friend and the guy was playing the ukelele was so sweet!! :) And since you asked, I think you look REALLY hot at the beginning of the video, with the longish hair and just a little scruff, even better than all clean shaven :) NEVER let your hair go that crazy long again from the middle part tho hahaha that makes you look like a homeless person....but a nice one lol ;)

[fuzzypeachmonkey]

wow, cool sunglasses at the brazil festival one!

[595moore]

Nice to see you back. :)

[vin22kevin]

well tleast you updated us! arigato domo kevin-kun

[fireraider747]

Kev found his razor yay...

[djcoffee09]

he is irish american but he had to take bag pipes lessions that is not really irish if he means like the harp or the box or something like that but the bag pipes is not irish and i would know i am from ireland!!!

[6663000]

You where right about the audio, But still a very cool video.

I loved the part when you where sitting outside the little bar with the old friend of yours, and the guys where playing music.

That was really beautiful.

Looking good by the way (minus those round glasses) I guess the makeover turned out well :P

[TokyoMichael9289]

twiter is evel lol

[mikie2501]

I allmost fell out of my chair laughing at that last bit! :)

[iggytan]

God dammit Tokyocooney, don't do that again! :'(

[ilovebraziljapan]

Haha! So, it's easier for people to stalk you, if you have Twitter xD

Thank you so much for making this video. I really enjoyed it.

[nobleninjanaut]

the Coonsters got a real life now that your all established there. No need for apologies!!! LMAO at 10:25 those girls were blazin!!

[noshnitt]

Cooney, is it always the early 90's in japan? Those sunglasses took me back to the days of America Online and pre-steroid Barry Bonds. Radical.

[sirt8669]

I miss Japan! Just got back and can't wait to return. I went to the India Festival when I was there.

[ElGeorgeccs]

U look healthier !!! great to see u back, saludos

[gaijinyakuzza]

looks like cooney just got out of rehab

[omgitshenry]

I will be going to Japan for a year via student exchange. Maybe I will see you there Kevin :)

[saveferris1234]

can't wait until I go to Japan, hopefully sometime late next year or early 2011.. Ima come hunt you down

[CoreBor]

wow the ending funny as hell. huff it down fatty huff it down because you love them.

[Hibryd7]

at 8:25 ....that edit, the comment you made....I knew exactly what you meant. It touched me deeply.

It's great to have you back.

[hpeterswald]

Did you know you can use a simple Lapel Microphone plugged into an iPhone to improve sound quality

[fayt87]

hotness at 2:55

[fink1066]

Miss you Kevin!! Glad to see that you are doing well.

[chelokun]

HE LIVES AGAIN!!!

[johngreen120]

Woooo, it's been too long.

[MrNiceWeed]

Good to see you alive kevin :D

Will be soon back to your city, on the 20th of december in fact. Could you tell me what you think about christmas and new year in tko ?

Hope we can make something together then :)

Marc, & friends

[Ashitaka255]

I genuinely thought you died.

[tonezng]

finally! i thought you died!

[hhanyu]

Your videos never fail to entertain me. Youve finally sold your soul to evil Twitter. I wish your continued success as a TV screenwriter. And I hope someday your own sitcom / comedy shows will be on air in Japan and other countries.

[StatuesBleedingGreen]

eat em up fatteh

[Dreamor]

I've missed you! GOOD THAT YOU'RE BACK :D

[USJbroly]

LOL at the fitness guru advertising donuts!

[SosToradora]

A fitness guru supporting donuts lol. Glad Cooney is back.

[cynthiamurdock15]

I missed you Kevin :*(

[LoveWillB4U]

Going to Japan in December 19-new years... any suggestions? must dos?

[JapanTravelTV]

If you are coming to Japan, please check out my Narita Airport Video!

[wachmekillu]

Oh noes, hes beyond the point of no return, twitter? oh my.. another great video lol.

[swemda]

Entertaining as usual. You don't have to make excuses, everything you do is better than 99% of the stuff on youtube anyway.

[maneneko]

Billy Banks, Bagpipes, "They just really like cheeseburgers." LOL

Your friend is awesome! Hopefully I'll see her at the Tokyo Marathon I'm running next year. Your transformation from bum to pretty boy in the span of 4 months - A-MA-ZING. Thanks for the update =)

[iamsatan04]

Well you seem very sarcastic in the beginning Kevin I guess your too famous to post reglar vids on youtube lol jeez you can really tell how much you have grown and changed over the years from watching your vids

[KuboMatoko]

Aren't bagpipes Scottish, not Irish.....?

[wachmekillu]

Celtic, They originated in Scotland but are used right the way through Britain, Ireland and other countries.

[BonzoIsBack]

Uilleann pipes are Irish, similar to bagpipes but with the uilleann pipes you only need to inflate them once.

[EvilColSanders]

"eat up, fatty". haha

Fitness + doughnuts = healthy!!!

[Ido013]

Hey that was interesting, if you know what I mean.

[LaurelCowgal]

Us hot girls aren't going to keep making these vids if u continue being jerks about it.

[will5125]

Does everyone in Tokyo have a video camera?

[SMFresita]

I Missed you!!!!!! haha i dont have twitter to stalk you lol

[gfxlab]

I forgot about that fitness dude..... oh well, his taebo crap is lame,

[tokoman5]

[mserox000]

P.S. You looked like a total hobo in August! :P Was that when your makeover was? Sorry if it wasn't! :P

[mserox000]

Finally! You're back! :) Hopefully now you can get more vids up! :P

[SALVATIONFROMBEHIND]

YOUR BACK!! Woohoo!! it is so great that you are back!

[animeangela227]

you know what i was wondering....... if your around japanese people all the time, do you ever feel that your japanese at all? like if your walking down the street and japanese people are all you see, don't you ever feel like your one of 'em?

weird question but someone had to ask!

(haha thanks internet)

[DeathNoteKira]

Missed ya! Can't wait for more!

[Shadowdancer21b]

I played bass drum in a bagpipe band for a while, and as a very Irish and Scottish heritage-posessing guy, I LOVE bagpipe music. It just fills my heart with pride and joy.

[Japanesemusicforall]

Lookin good Cooney!

[78will78]

Finally got my fix! I almost had to turn to something more intense, say...... Crystal meth.. You and your blogs sir, are most definitely a gateway drug. haha

Glad your back

[JapanTravelTV]

[Reaiota]

Don't lie Chris

[DiorChick223]

[AgentYlime]

Great vid! I enjoyed watching it and look forward to the next! It's nice seeing another vid from you, but take your time :)

[junkienet]

You do know that Twitter will now become your new form of crack don't you ? John Lennon would like his sunglasses back and OMG ... Billy Banks ... classic

[reverie171717]

You dont need to apologize - just keep making great videos when you're ready. If they're good (and they are) viewers will always come back to watch.

[Sneakernor]

It's now 1am, I've returned home, and you've survived the typhoons as well..

It's starting to get a bit chilly at night now...

[MackTeaVee]
