Tokyo Swan: THE FINAL

Here it is, the final episode of Tokyo Swan. Thank you to everyone who helped make the show possible, from the incredible support I've gotten from subscribers on youtube, my family, my friends both in Japan and back home, and special thanks go to Keterol for creating so many great tracks of music just for the show. I couldn't have done it without any of you.

Please watch this video to find out what I plan to do in terms of a future on youtube, and some of my thoughts on this study abroad experience. Again, thank you so much everybody, it was an amazing time and I'm glad I got to share it with all of you.

So in closing, it was a great year at Keio University as an exchange student, I totally reccomend the experience to anybody who wants to study in Japan, and for all the attempted facial hair styles, nerdy elton john references, and a totally non scripted look at what life in Japan is like for a study abroad student, I am really proud and happy of this series. I can't say it enough. Thank you.

Music in this episode:
Tokyo Swan Theme (full length): Keterol
Brick Ballades: from the big-o anime

weird to watch this now......RIP man...i wish i had watched his vids sooner..

[RizingBlackSun]

I think if we keep watching his videos maybe it'll feel like he's still here.

[zimizi]

i feel sad even if i watchted the first video today, but japanese is really a great language. Ruhe in Frieden.

[damboring101]

i remember watching this when he first uploaded it and i was so sad i was like swan noooooo stay in japan he was the only jvlogger i was watching at the time and i was so envious of swan because he was living his life the way he wanted too good times good times

[TBOGmorris1113]

sigh... not really any youtubers like this one. well i enjoyed him while he was here

[BananaPancake]

I never thought I would feel so attached and sad by someone's death even though I never met him in person. He still has an impact on his viewers, even after he has passed.
