10:33 "here, my flesh, sell that on Ebay" Aki is a genius businesswoman fr

For the elderly, young children, or those with diabetes or who may become confused at night, who may not be able to gauge temps as accurately due to visual impairments etc.... the leaf thermometer is actually a really great idea. I think the inventor may be on to something with that one.

hey about the leaf thermometer yet again as the back said, this is not supposed to be a body heat measuring devise, but for a room. so it actually is quite helpful. the design is pretty and minimalistic, it does not have any dangerous substances in it as some thermometers do, and it does not need any kind of energy to work as new types of thermometers do. so this is a win-win for a room temperature measuring thermometer! you don't really need the exact numbers unless you have a room full of plants that need special care or something. yes, you can tell if the room is extremely cold or too hot, but if the change is not that noticeable - maybe you got used to the temperature or it's not drastically changed - this is a good way to know that something is wrong :) i myself find it really useful as i get sick easily if the room is too hot/cold/etc. but i rarely realize that the state of the room is the reason why i am feeling ill.

I feel like the leaf would be useful if you have a covered balcony, conservatory or greenhouse or just an area in your house with house plants inside it. If you can just glance at it and know "oh shit it's too cold/hot" you can know if your plants are gonna die.

I think the leaf is still useful! It’s not meant to be a body heat measuring tool, it’s for the room, so not quite sure why you brought up that concern.

Aki mis-conceptualized the purpose of the leaf thermometer. She mentions things like body temperature and the fact we're in a global pandemic (still). But it's not for that purpose. The blurb on the packaging specifically exemplifies putting it on your door (probably front door). So based on how the leaf reacts to the temperature of the door as absorbed by outside elements, you can determine whether you even need the AC on or not. This is not for medical purposes or for the body. It's for environmental things.

6:16 I don't think it's supposed to replace *body* thermometers or *cooking/meat* thermometers, Aki 😂 it's just supposed to replace/be an alternative to room thermometers which makes people use AC/room heater excessively, bc "the numbers on the thermometers aren't exactly where I want it to be". when in reality, most of the times you don't even need to turn the AC/heater on just to change a couple of digits which is barely noticeable to the human body. let's conserve some more energy!

Glad to see a family friendly "why japan" eps after such a long time haha

The leaf things are really cool. I would use them as decoration even. The tattoo patches would be too small for me :D I have too many large tattoos at this point.

Aki, I have to say you are wrong on the leaves. These are similar to things I grew up with that told whether or not the bath temperature is too hot or cold for a child. They are VERY useful in the case that you might harm the babys skin. I think they are worth it, also to help children know when something is hot or cold if they cant read numbers too!

For the leaf thermometer, I think that would serve as a fun way for kids to see if it is "too hot/cold" outside when getting ready to go out. Obviously certain visual indicators will tell, but when I'm a parent, I could see good use in it as a smol won't necessarily understand number temp, rather you can say "Ah, ah ah, where are you going dressed like that? What color is the leaf?" and get across the concepts of temperature in a fun way before tackling accurate numbers.

Forgot about the tattoo laws in Japan for a sec and thought you meant literally get rid of it lol.

The leaf thermometer was really neat it’d be something fun to play with like you did also the tattoo cover patch was really interesting.

I think the leaf would be a good concept for a kids room cause it would change with the season and the kids would love it

I think this thermometer would be really good for disabled people. I know that some nerve damage or illnesses can cause you to not feel the temperature that well or even at all. In that case, having a visual would be very useful. Also! This would be great for teaching kids to express when they're too cold/hot or/and about temperatures overall.

Stick the leaf on the outside of your window - you'll be able to make a quick glance to determine if you need a sweater today or not

what a great video I definitely have seen it all already despite it being uploaded a min ago

I never look at the thermostat except when I’m hot or cold. There are diseases that can make you less sensitive to temperature, so the leaf isn’t that bad of an idea. Also, you can see the leaf from across the room.

I heard onsens were asked to be more lenient with tattoos on foreigners. Have you found that to be true?

In Australia we used to be able to buy t shirts and underwear like the leafs that changed colour according to your body heat and the environment. They were called Hypercolour clothing.

Why Japan! One of my favorite series😂Aki please bring back the true crimes

The tattoo tape is really cool! I've been thinking about going to Japan for a trip, and it's good to see there's more options. I'm still a little too tatted for onsens that don't welcome tattoos, as I'd have several areas to cover and two very large tattoos (one down my ribcage, and one filling my whole shoulder blade)--but with a little finagling, it could still be a solid alternative.

i'm like.. really stupid when it comes to judging temperatures. it's currently freezing outside and here i am. in shorts and a sweater. not sure if it's actually warm or cold rn. i keep putting a blanket on and off myself like an idiot. this leaf? would be hella useful to me lmao

i mean, the leaf one is made so you know if its unnecessary too cold/hot for the people that use their air conditioner on 16°c or their heater up on 30°c (idk I don't really use a heater so rato ones probably not as high but whatever) my point is that yes, you need a body thermometer but maybe, when it comes to air conditioning your house you can't fully know when is too cold and stuff

im so glad to hear the tattoos in japan isnt as bad as the internet makes it sound.. i have an entire sleeve of tattoos and ive been weary on taking a trip to japan because of it haha. im sure i'll be fine if i cover it up but for an onsen im happy to hear theres tattoo friendly ones :)

Well a medical thermometer is something completely different... This said it starts getting brown at 25(?) degrees. So it's not useful for measuring body temperature at all. It's only meant for room temperature.

I never understood the criminal stigma around the tattoos in general, but in Japan the yakuza associations seem especially odd. Yakuza have a set of traditional designs and places to put them, right? You're telling me old ppl are genuinely gonna believe an idk, 20 year old girl with a rainbow pony on her arm has gang connections?? Like, context.

10 dollars for crumbled pieces of green paper... NO! Japan, give Aki her money back, now!

always love the way aki transitions her content to ads lol also the leaf thermometer is an amazingly cool concept. it’s meant for environmental purposes not for body heat or using it to tell if you’re sick of not. it’s a neat decorative visual :)

Sorry Aki, but I've been seeing notepads in the shape of food for a LONG time now so it does surprise me to see a lettuce one. I live in the USA, but I have an office store not too far from me that sell notepads that look like cupcakes and an art supply store that sells them in the shape of shoes. X'D

The fact that Japans technology is way further ahead of the rest of the world just surprises me that they haven’t come out with a transparent self adhesive sticker that goes over your tattoo, takes a digital copy of your skin complexion, then reflects that complexion over the tattoo so it can cover it up perfectly

I’m going to see if I can find those leaf thermometers. My husband loves to keep our house like summer in the winter months, which I hate because I prefer the cold, but that’s a different story. So if I put a bunch of those leaves around, not only would they look pretty, they’d also be a good way to prove to him that he keeps the house way too hot and he’s wasting energy. Personally, I love them!

Your tattoos are so gorgeous ❤️ I’m getting a peony on my forearm once covid calms down and I would need several packets of fake skin to cover all mine 🤣

The leaf thermometer is actually pretty neat. Your fan tattoo BEAUTIFUL Aki

Those skin taps are really cool !! I wonder how it would look like if someone put them all (as in skin tones ) on his body in an artistic way 🤔

The leaf is probably the coolest item in this series even though it's such a gimmick.

Ok damn that was a smooth ass sponsor transition. Shit was so smooth I was on their site before I even realized it.

The leaf thermometer would be helpful in case of a fire. If the door is really hot you don't want to touch it so if the leaf is on the door you could easily tell the temperature of the door to avoid doors with fire behind them.

I love that crunchy sound. Will be watching this a few times.

I love hearing that tattoos are being more accepted!! Definitely gives me more motivation to visit when possible

I like the leaf. It could be cooler if they had a larger color range that corresponds to a temperature range. Like from black-brown-green-yellow-orange-red. Black could be be below freezing, red could be over 98.6f/ 37c. Also could be useful for CIPA patients who dont have the ability to feel temperature

Totally amazing why Japan video akidearest, fantastic job.

I was interested with the leaf thermometer so i checked in amazon. Its not a body thermometer and it should be used in rooms with doors and windows. The design is inspired by showing the transition of seasons both temperature-wise and visually. I’m excited to use it 🍃

I loved the leaf thermometer ! It’s really good to see if your room is the right temperature and manage your heater/air conditioning because according to people you can feel the temperature really differently

Aki's fan tattoo is absolutely STUNNING! ( & unique)

the leaf thermometer would make an amazing piece to show and brag to my family and friends when they visit my house considering the temperature at my place is pure chaos.

I haven’t watched one of these for ages, glad that it’s back.

You're almost at 3 million! Congrats!

Aki aki I'm so happy to see a new video I've been starving

What I like about Japanese products is the designer/creator of the product sometimes puts a philosophy behind the design blurb. It might be just me but it's a nice touch.

That was a seamless sponsership transicion, kudos to you

If KZfaq had an award for sponsor transitions, Aki would win by a landslide. She kills it every time 😂

Your sponsor plugs get me every time 🤣

omg your tattoo is so pretty❤️ it matches your hair so good

I feel as excited about the leaf things as Aki does. I love these sort of things: mood rings, magic fish, and thermal color indicators, like on batteries and old school Transformers toys insignias.

Your hairstyle and piercing look so cool! You're so pretty 🥰 also love your videos ^w^

Your tattoos are so gorgeous!

regarding the leaf thermometer, when I was a kid my dad had this strip that if you put it on your forehead it would change colors depending on the temp. I Didn't realise I missed this until I saw this so thanks.

Foundation tape for sure makes me excited

I personally thing that leaf thing is amazing! My boyfriend is on the autism spectrum and obsessed with the “correct” temperature number. I just like to adjust the heater to cooler/warmer depending how I actually physically feel like. I think this might actually be useful for us. Thanks for showcasing it! 😊

The cabagettuce transition to the ad was 😙🤌 chef's kiss

Great video Aki

As always, love your content ❤ thank you for your work :3

aki's sponser transitions are good😭

god i stopped watching akidearest videos for a while, id forgotten how funny aki is, this week has been so hard for me but i genuinely laughed a lot watching her videos fr

I would adore that lettuce journal as work sticky notes, such a fun way to have them!!

Funnily enough the leaf thermometer may actually be good for keeping tabs on if it's too hot or cold for your plants

Aki videos are one of the only ones where I don't skip the ads cuz the transitions are *chef's kiss*

the leaf thermometer is pretty cool stuff. Rather than actually using it to tell temperature i find it to be a really interesting prop if you decorate a shop/room of nature theme with those. You don't even have to worry about swapping decals with those since they change colours to match the season

Those leaves are so cool !

your tattoos are absolutely gorgeous i love the fan one so pretty

Love your “WHY JAPAN?!” Videos!! Keep up the work!! 😄

Your tatto looks amazing ^-^

Looove this series❤️

Lettuce is from the cabbage family lol. I love seeing your videos Aki

I love the idea of the leaf thermometer! I want those so bad...

I think the leaves would work great just as decorations. Incorporate them into a bigger decoration for your door or window and the leaves will change with the weather and the seasons. Product needs to be rebranded.

i really love this series

The title got me intrigued & "WTF, AKI?!" 0.0 Love ya, Aki~❤️❤️❤️

The leaf thermometer makes a lot of sense! Like what's read on the back, imagine having the leaf close to your heater during winter time and it's yellow, like sure you know it's cold and you heat up your house, but sometimes we put the heat up too much or something and just having this is an immediate indicator if you room is nice or if maybe you're wasting too much energy and heat and you should turn it down a bit

It is USEFUL you can use the leaf like a cool functioning decor

Weirdly, the lettuce notes were better than I expected!

that leaf thermometer would make great pasties for a (Minimalist?) Poison Ivy Cosplay.

Yay, thank you for another video! 😁👍

I actually love how funny you are Aki 😭😂

Whoa the patch to cover a tattoo! 🤯 I would need a lot of them since all my tats are on the larger size. Now if Japan would just allow tattooed people into onsens and the beach. If we're ever able to go to Japan I really really want to experience an onsen so I will have to keep that in mind. Regardless if it's my skin color or not. Better to be covered than not.

Tell me you've never owned a mood ring, without telling me you've never owned a mood ring.

I like the leaf thermometer! I think it’ll be really helpful to some people, and I wouldn’t mind having one.

“My cabbages.” 😂 I love it

The leaf thing is so cute

Lol, Joey sounded like he was from Wisconsin for a second. 🤣🤣🤣 "Oh oh oh no"

As a newbie tattoo artist, the tape was interesting xD Also DAMMMMN your tattoo is really nice, how many seccions did it take to finish? Like, two?

Aki great video! 5:34 Ok, That Leaf is a Good Product, Get the Buzzer, The Leaf Thermometer gets a Tick from Me!

Love the video keep up the great work

The lettuce paper scrunching noise was worth it, so satisfying

With the patches, try to add your make up over it and see if it could be blended in. Waterproof make up etc

I wasn't ready for that ad 😂

The tatoo one is amazing because both my husband and I have tattoos but the concern is he has a huge pair on his forearms. The patches you used looked just the right size. Hes been concerned if we ever took a trip he wouldnt be able to experience an onsen or wed have to search for one that allowed him to go in. So thats super helpful!

1. Love this series as always 2. I'm so happy that there is actually gonna be a non sketchy website where I can read / test read some mangas Now I finally don't have to save up to buy mangas on amazon and then I don't like them that much in the end

I really need those leaves. That is so helpful for people with plants.
