Japan Part 15: New Years at Tokyo Tower

[AndySan]

Bring back DiscountSausage for 2012!!

[sk8900]

i was just scrolling around to find out if high schoolers in japan actually wear mini skirts or sailor outfits in the anime so i could show my parents an example about how the japanese girl's parents approve of them wearing one so i could get one but then i found a bunch of videos with girls having the experience of being in japan (reads ''japan up'')

and so i stumbled across this video and bam when i saw the year this made i fell backwards on my chair and so yeah thats it.

[germinator209]

New Years is my birthday

[ProducePaulVideos]

I like the song that begins after the count down,

maybe because i cant understand a word! :]

[Nerolista]

The amazake is sooooo good. I wish I can go back again for New Years.

[KrazyRICKY123]

i am inspired to go there at least once in my life!!!!!XD

[bigmikemarks]

Dood I'm so jello u live in japan and u have awsome adventures

[clareintokyo]

Japan is obsessed with recycling. I wouldn't worry about the plastic issue.

Thank for this video, it's inspired my first New Years in Tokyo!

[akqjterrence]

Thank you so so much for this video. It's the 30th of December as I write this, and I'm a single traveller by myself here in Tokyo looking for information on where to be when it gets to midnight on the 31st. I'm very glad you went to the temple instead of wallowing alone. :) Thanks again.

[yiichii]

what's the english title of the 2nd song by rip slyme.?

[ilostmywife02]

the balloons are made out of biodegradable rice paper i think ^^ i remember reading that somewhere...

[unidentifiedash]

i like the balloon idea, with one wish on it.

thats amazing.. sad that it isnt here...

[clubihatekikyou]

hahahaha

i thought they were all gonna pop tha baloons or somthin

[blahk04]

haha the end is great, someone had too much to drink.

[XxXStarLoveXxX]

uh biodegradable ?

[Nerolista]

I was fortunate enough to be there for the New Years of 08/09. It was such a wonderful experience. I first saw this video in summer of '08 and I would have never have guessed I would get to go there. Thank you so much for sharing this. I need to upload the rest of my videos at some point...

[CosplayTakeout]

Wow, that's awesome! The bird balloons are especially pretty.

[jjcphotography]

i liked this one alot :)

[greenhousestorm]

were u alone at new year's eve?

[ProDigit80]

Yep,add more plastic balloons to earths pollution...

Where's the fireworks?

The birds are nice!

[bottomOFair]

those baloons are made from wafer.

[ilovemokona2]

Pollution, an American talking about pollution!

[ProDigit80]

I'm not an american pardon you!

Not because I speak English am I american!

[mullensk8ter15]

@ProDigit80 Albeit, your English is poor.

[rphinks]

they look pretty thin how do you know they arent biodegradable. Japanese think of everything.

[XxXStarLoveXxX]

Japanese don't think of the idea they take ideas and improve the shit out of them!

[CZeyn]

I love balloons! =D We did that when I was a kid, but the local gouverment has now forbiden us to =( I hope mother eirth's happy -.-

Yeah! To evil!! <3

[Vkira02]

i want to go to japan, looks like fun

[sonypsp05]

now that's a new year party.

[Nerolista]

What's the name of the Rip Slyme song? Sentimental rubas?

[darkdemonwithin]

All i did was set off fireworks on a frozzen lake in canada

[Camronusaf]

Why do I remember my new years in Tokyo being about the same except minor differences. Not saying that Tokyo is bad but you would think that being in Tokyo one of the biggest top 10 cities it would kind be better.

[Jcool663]

Dont you mean.. Heres to sarcasm?

[GrindcoreEmily]

oh men, i wish i'd live in japan!^^"

[unwritten123x]

whooooooo-hooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!! 2008 yep....wow...so poetic...n look at all teh balloons...

[Twoface227]

Wow, how did I miss this? oh well, Happy Belated New Years Eve... Almost 5 months after the fact. lol Thanks for posting it, the balloons were really neat to see ^^

[GretchenDawntreader]

there is a disturbing lack of discoutsausage on the internets lately, I blame the high price of oil.

[discountsausage]

Blame CANADAAAAA!! BLAME CANADA!!! Everybody sing it now! :p

[Jcool663]

BLAME CANADA...

And Stans Mom XD

[PHDxNC]

@discountsausage but watch out for scott! he's a dick!

[tvunder]

Hey really we´re worried!! =D hope to see you soon

[ArkBackPacker]

Audri has 901 subscribers 1000 can't be to far away congratulations D

Ciaela has dropped down to 684 not a lot going on in Kamloops B.C.

[discountsausage]

Haha thanks for the congrats :p but i'm not competing with my stalker lady :) She's coming back to Japan soon anyhow so i bet her subscribers will jump up again!

[Bigboss483]

Where do those baloons end up? in china?

[madmusssss]

bless cooney for introducing you on the japan vlog community :) keep the good working coming

[tokyokindel]

I will be at Tokyo Tower next year for New Years no doubt! :)

[Bigboss483]

I hope your alright, havent heard from you in a while.

[discountsausage]

I live! Fear not, good citizen!

[yoyodojo4]

I'm glad to hear things are fine with you. Keep those videos coming!!

[yoyodojo4]

I second "ImperialPimp". We want more Sausage. I really like your vlogs.

[discountsausage]

Thank you thank you, your need for sausage is appreciated!

[ImperialPimp]

Yo Sausage, where you at? Looking forward to the next vlog....

[discountsausage]

Thanks for worrying ;) I had no internet for a while!! I'm back and i'm stuffed full of free time so i'll be making some new vids soon I think!! Sorry for keeping everyone in suspense :p

[ImperialPimp]

Ah, great. You not working anymore? That must be a relief...

[Bigboss483]

tokyocooney introduced me to your vids i really like them. Which country are you originaly from?

[genpetrucci]

Just finished to watch all your vids right now, from the begining :) I really like Japan and i have to say i really enjoyed all of your stuff. I will check your account often to see if there's any new vid, and the fact that you look super nice and cute is a big motivation to do it :D(i feel so lame right now ;D) anyways...a bit late but:

Happy new year to you and Kumo ! :)

[akumie]

stfu will you

[genpetrucci]

hehehe...i thought i was lame...but apparently there's worse than me...anyways, have a good day

[1PAcouchpotato]

chicken steak sounds yummy

[luvanime76]

wat's the song playing by rip slyme?? (in english^^)

[srzy]

just wondering, do you live in an apartment or a house? cause your room is really nice. and how much you pay for rent =P

[xXxJabotxXx]

Looks way more fun then the new years here :(

At the zoo my friends and i did the whole, write a wish on a ribbon and tie it to a tree. It would have been nice if my friends hadn't written things like,

"Laura smells"

"I wish Laura would turn into an elf" *Laura being me :D*

But you know, friends are friends.

[GretchenDawntreader]

happy new year! you look a bit glum at the end...hope you have good luck and plenty of happiness!

Now shop for that new cookie :)

[discountsausage]

Shopping as hard as I can!!!

[srzy]

love your videos, just wondering what classes are you takin? when i head over there i would love to go on all those field trips lol =P

[discountsausage]

Haha, it's a japanese school called Arc Academy and they do love their field trips! They are kinda hit or miss though, some of them were just bad and never got videos made of them hehe.

[lacroax]

Hey Audri, so another year here. Just quick question. If you don't like the phraseof Gambatte. What do you think about the grettings of new years in Japanese? In my opinion to much hypocrite specially if after New year you listen bad news like be fire or something else. What is the sense of asking to be good and nice and then receive a slap in you face. Very nice video and thanks for use spanish at the end, nice touch.

[sexymdlman]

Awesome you came to Tokyo for x-mas. ^_^ I've been here for more than two months, but I still haven't been to Tokyo Tower hehe How did you like it?

[discountsausage]

hehe i LIVE in tokyo, my friend ;) going on two years now, so i've had a few run ins with Tokyo tower during my time here. Stay here long enough and you can't avoid the place :P haha

[broans]

Woah really!? O_o '

Gomen! I need to pay more attention to your videos hehe... (which I love btw)

[DarkCrow1303]

OH MY GOD! :O HOW MANY BALLONS!

[scott2eh]

KITTY!!!!!!!!!

That is all.

[makihikorain]

another awsome video by you, I loved it

[uhoh11]

I love your lime green headphones! Me want! I bet they only sell them in Japan, right? :(

BTW, not everyone had a fabulous New Years. Thanks for having enough motivation to post a new vid! :)

[drakgrotta]

pretty nice wiht the ballons and stuff but all i can think of its the waste in the nature it becomes for no good reason.

like your vids though :)

make more!

[livemix72]

When he Rip Slyme concert? I Love Super Shooter. Your sense of humor is great.. I laugh openly at all your little comments..

[Kiegelis]

I wonder in whose backyard are all those wishes going to end up... lucky guy...

[discountsausage]

They probably end up in the ocean like someone else said :p

My solution would be to have someone sitting on top of the Tokyo Tower with a BB gun and snipe those things right outta the sky! Bwahahaha!!!

[tucci06]

LULZ but if they sniped out the balloons they would be killing someone's wish!

[CelluloidPixie]

Get a new cookie darlin'! (I shall do the same.) Chocolate chip perhaps?

[discountsausage]

Mmm... just as long as it's CHEWY Chocolate chip :p

[pontifix]

Have you mentioned what you are studying in Japan? Is it postgrad?

Also, you must be half japanese, right?

You are very spontaneous...i think you are talented!

[discountsausage]

I'm studying japanese... in japan. :p hehe everyone assumes i'm here getting my masters or something, but nah. I'm just learning japanese. ;)

[ArkBackPacker]

pontifix

I agree D does look part Japanese

[aniedorf]

G'day

I want to say a big thank you for creating these films for we strangers in YouTubeland to enjoy. I will need to forward these on to give my friends/fam at home a better idea of what it's like in Japan, as I do not have a camera and you do a much better job than I do at being both positive and sarcastic at the same time. Welcome to the year of the rat!

Arigato goziamasu!

[mereldanh]

I resolve to travel more and escape banality. Here's to new cookies, wishes, and the insidious hope. It wasn't misplaced in Pandora's Box. Seize frivolity whenever possible!

[sapphochan]

Dude. Your videos are great. Hearts.

[Robosaruh]

aww looks like so much better than my time....we were leaving countdown japan early so we could get home in time to celebrate but nooooooo! The trains were on their wonderful jacked up schedule....we ended up celebrating in the middle of a street at Tsukuba :D

[discountsausage]

I know, right? Holiday trains suck!!! Well, I hope your NY was fun regardless of the location :p

[rasberry1977]

great vid, but for some reason i feel like giving you a hug!

[discountsausage]

I accept hugs, visa, and paypal :p

[TkyoSam]

Another awesome video :)

It looks like you had a lot more fun than I did at Hub in Roppongi, lol

[discountsausage]

Maybe i did, maybe i didn't. I think we should thumb wrestle, and the winner is the one that had more fun on new years :P

[RDJPN]

Akemashita Omedatou Gozaimasu Audrey

[RDJPN]

.... i mean Audri -_-;

[fishb3d]

FIN? Do you know spanish too?

De ser así sólo te digo que tus vídeos son geniales. Eres una japonesa muy simpática. Feliz año 2008! Espero que cuelgues más vídeos este año. No cambies nunca.

[discountsausage]

Haha i know maybe like 10 whole words in spanish, and they're not useful ones :P Sorry!

[RDJPN]

how many of those are swear words?

[xxHOLiCxxx]

all those ballons are going to end up in the ocean and choke a dolphin..lol that sucks.

[maneneko]

Or a turtle. =( I hope the balloons were made out of dissolvable material.

[kansaiPJ]

I nice video; very well editing and quite entertaining. Much cherrier than your Christmas vid. Thanks for a great year of vids and heres hoping for another!

Hope you have a happy new year!

[KARTWON]

wow that looks great!i gatta get there sooooon! nice vid.

[Dirufangrl87]

Oh wow! I loved what everyone did with the balloons! It was kind of like New Years here in NYC. I spent it in Times Square, and there were balloons, TONS of confetti and drunk people hopping around in the cold XD.

[frontporsche]

nice music. :)

[Ciaela]

the link below, I guess I didnt mention, was a picture of me in the sweater. Its an old picture. BUT IS IT NOT INSANE THAT WE HAVE THE SAME SWEATER!?

[discountsausage]

Well if you would ever stop stalking me we could stop using the label of insane for all things relating to you and me :p

[Ciaela]

Audri! I just have to tell you that

1. In the beginning, the first thing you said sounded insanely like my voice. Damn!

2. I have the exact same sweater as you're wearing in the end. Only mine is black and purple.

[ImperialPimp]

Cool....you got drunk in your video

[discountsausage]

Gotta do it some time!!! :p

[utubething8]

I jus got a 'flame' from an unstable messenger sponteously sending negative remarks to like anyones comment at total random ( our worst nightmare ) . This video sure helped bring me up a bit. perhaps one from Tokyocooney would help too. wink wink.

[discountsausage]

Are you kidding me?! Ugh! That would piss me off too :( Glad I could cheer you up!

And don't worry, Cooney is a video making machine! I think he runs a video making sweatshop in his basement probably. You'll see one of his videos really soon i'm sure!!!

[dpjef]

Thanks for the great vid, great music again.

All the best for 2008 !

[tokyocooney]

awsome video as always! Happy New Year

[devonrigby]

loves it

[wobina]

Absolutely amazing video!!! I love it!!! Those balloons were so beautiful.....

[ShaderZ]

Happy New Year Audri. Ever wonder where all those wish balloons end up at the end of teh day?

[SaraSohma7]

happy belated new years anyways ^ ^

[DC9990]

Wahey :]

No need to buy a new cookie..

Make one =] Its so much more fun!

Wow your cat is getting rather big now.

But then again you got Gambit a while back now didnt you. Gah time flies.

Anyway Happy New Year (I think I said it once but twice is better just incase)

[discountsausage]

Oh Gambit's not mine, he's my friend's cat. I'm just keeping an eye on him while she's out of town :) But yeah, my cat (Kumo) got pretty big. His buddy Gambit here is going to be bigger though, it's pretty obvious!

[DC9990]

Oh yeah kumo's white rite?

I only just remembered.

[SteffXLovers]

yeah i had fruit juice ...

[kaulitza666]

Happy new year! :)

[Maxxie753]

I always love your choice of music! Great Vid!

[JABSEN]

Happy New Years, Audri. (Is it belated or does it still count?)

[discountsausage]

Well I guess it's still the new year, i mean it's not like christmas where once it's over christmas is over for another year right? The new year doesn't go away that easy!!!

I suppose the correct thing to say would be "Happy Moderately New Year"???
