Life in Tokyo #74: Stimulus tokyocooney - 15,920 views - 1 week ago
I get my government stimulus check. In an attempt to be a good citizen I immediately went out and spent the lot of it on things I probably didn't really need. Oh well.

For the final tally on money spent... (I think)

Bucket of Fried Chicken - 1,450
Plant for Kenji - 500
Head Messager - 2,600
Semi-Erotic Ear Cleaning - 980
Setta (Shoes) - 2,000
Eel - 2,700
Coffee & Croissant - 500
Terminator Tix - 1,200
Popcorn & Cola - 500

Total: 11,930 Yen

Life in Tokyo: Vlog #73 Moving tokyocooney - 15,155 views - 3 weeks ago
Well, it took long enough. Sorry about that. But here its is. Much longer than I meant it to be, but I suppose its because my house is bigger than the last time I gave a tour.

If you are interested in learning more about the details of renting a house in Japan I recommend you look at my video titled.
FYI Housing.

Life in Tokyo: Vlog #72 Big Tobacco, Small Museum tokyocooney - 43,323 views - 1 month ago
I don't smoke. But that doesn't mean I couldn't enjoy the Tobacco and Salt museum in Shibuya. Its not the greatest museum ever, surely. But it is worth a peak inside if you are in the area, especially because the entry fee is only ¥100.

Occasionally the temporary exhibit on the 4th floor is surprisingly interesting. The 3rd floor salt area is highly miss-able.

Music:
"100 Cigarettes" by Big Sugar

As for the other museums I recommended:

The Edo-Tokyo Museum

The Parasite Museum

Life in Tokyo #1 tokyocooney - 102,610 views - 3 years ago
Want to know something about Tokyo or see video of it, let me know and ask a question. I finally gave into the urge and jumped on the V-blog bandwagon. This is mostly babbling about strange vending machines in Tokyo.

F.Y.I. Tokyo: Work tokyocooney - 24,177 views - 2 years ago
Number two in my FYI series of videos. Its for informational not entertainment purposes, so dont expect any laughs. Also, I am not an expert on these things, this is just what Ive heard and experienced personally. You should of course be researching this in as many ways as possible if you are considering moving abroad.

F.Y.I. Tokyo Housing tokyocooney - 25,479 views - 2 years ago
Welcome to my new F.Y.I. videos

This video is a bit of a divergence from my usual videos in that it is more factual than fun. ( I hope my other vids were fun!)

This video explains as well as I can the diffficulties/joys of renting an apartment in Tokyo. Please comment, or post a video comment if you have advice that would be USEFUL to someone thinking about living in Japan. I only know from my own experience so please share yours....

F.Y.I. Tokyo: Visas tokyocooney - 15,906 views - 1 year ago
Some more info on Visas in Japan. As I said in the video, Visas are a very complicated matter and the rules are rather vague and handled case by case. Hopefully the web links below will help you out. The most accurate information should be on the Ministy of Foreign Affairs Website, and as they say its best to direct your questions to your local Japanese embassy or consulate.

Please add any extra comments, info or advice in the comment section!

Kansai Tour Promo tokyocooney - 7,264 views - 3 years ago
Just a promo for an upcoming tour of nagoya/osaka/kyoto/kobe with me and a Japanese comedian. Not particularly interesting unless you live in Japan. Some interesting vid I suppose, but just made for work purposes.
