I am 6'5... and an ex bouncer from many moons ago... and this dam documentry has me blubbering like a baby. Some powerful stuff here.

I'm a 20 year old male with roots from Serbia and living in Sweden, and I'm fucking crying. Laugh at me all you want, I wish I had what these kids had when I was a kid. Someone to ask me how I was, to think about me and wanting to make me happy, someone who cares about me. Didn't have to be a whole class, just one person and I'd be the wealthiest idiot on the planet. These kids have 2 families. I'm so envious of them. There's not a single day that passes that I don't wish I was Japanease. Love

@FoggyFishburne Being Japanese has nothing to do with it. This kind of teaching is at least as rare in Japan as it is in western Europe, or the rest of the world for that matter.

Oh that's the thing. I'm crying like a baby being left alone when Tsubasa comes back to school ... How touching, this teacher is really the best, and his students are wonderful.

Of all the things I've watch on youtube, this video does not deserve any amount of dislikes.

This stuff here is pure gold and heart-warming to the core.
