I hit the RESET button, please hit the "SUBSCRIBE" button - and help me make this channel greater than ever! This week, JAPAN RAIL EAST collaboration - I ride a private Shinkansen bullet train through Tohoku with 6 bento boxes from the region to eat. We also sat in the Gran Class, the Shinkansen's First Class section. Thank you for the support everyone! -John \(^_^)/

Some years ago, I met Japan through anime, but I always wanted to learn more about Japan "in real life", and one of the first videos I saw about that it was yours. After that, I started to research more about Japan and get in love more and more with that country, I learned japanese and even went to live to Nagoya for one year as an interchange student, all thanks to videos like yours that inspired me, thank you so much!! I'm so glad you'll continue making videos even after those challenging days because I'm sure you'll continue inspiring so much more people from now. Keep going! (And sorry my bad english hahah)

It's really hard to do Crystal - not every situation is the same, but happiness comes from finding a path your comfortable with. A little courage can open doors - I've learned in life that often you don't end up where you were planning to go. More often than not, I end up in an even better place, the risk and push forward rewarded with amazing opportunities! You'll get knocked down a lot starting over, far from easy, but on the other side, the sunsets are more beautiful, the smiles much bigger. Wish you so much success!

Hey John. So glad I discovered your new channel recently after not realizing you had left the old one! I have a couple video ideas for you relating to my favourite place in Japan-Yakushima. You could do a video about the world's oldest living tree, the yakusugi in the middle of the island (be warned, it was about an 11 hour round trip for me to hike there!). Also, you could do a second video about how the island was an inspiration for the setting of Princess Mononoke and the folklore surrounding the kodama that are found both on the island and in the movie.

Japan became a focal point for me after I visited there for the first time in 2013. It was a 40th birthday gift to myself. One of the best I ever got. From this moment on, Japan is on my mind. I started learning Japanese (still does...), I read about it, visited 3 times and even lived in Osaka for a year, studying Japanese. But I learned the most about the culture, real life and interesting places from your channel. I watched ALL the episodes and took notes to visit some of the places. I even agreed to hitchhike in Japan after watching your hitchhike videos from a couple of years ago. This was by far one of the best things I did in Japan. Thank you for everything! Keep creating fascinating content and inspire us all! Cheers!

I stumbled upon your channel many years ago. It was recommended on KZfaq. I honestly never had an interest in Japan, but your videos have changed that.

John, I've watched your channel grow from strength to strength. That's been through your hard work and dedication, but it's the overt love for Japan that shines through in your stories and interviews that I feel has been your reason for success and inspiration for so many. Also, thank you for allowing us to be a part of your life and introducing us to the lovely Kanae and now little Rio. After watching you for so long, I feel like I'm part of your family as I'm sure many of your community feel. 😁 Unfortunately, I didn't get to make a vid for your video collage (In part due to my being a little camera shy), but I love what you do no less. Keep up your fantastic work, but most of all never lose that passion for the wonderful country you're living in. I wish you nothing but the best for this new channel!

I've watched your channels for years John and I can't tell you how much joy it has brought into my life. I'm so glad you have big plans for this channel and I'm looking forward to what's to come.

Good to see you back. I have watched your videos over the past few years. Makes me want to come to Japan. Congrats on your child. Whatever your channel/format I am a fan. Keep it up!

As someone who has caught you during one of your livestreams during the pandemic and as an avid follower of your content since the old channel days, I wish you the best of luck! Keep up the good work! Always keeping an eye out for that great content. Best wishes from Lebanon.

I learned a lot from your videos John !! It helped me gather lots of knowledge before visiting Japan the first time in 2015. The esthetics and editing are just great

Playing catch up here as well. Congrats on hitting 100K+ on this channel. I've really grown to enjoy your work since I discovered you back in late 2018. Keep up the great work. I'm going to keep my ears open to when you decide to do the Fireworks displays again this year. I would like to help out as much as I can.

Thank you Chris! I just got off the phone and it looks like we’ll do it in Nagano where they had really bad flooding in 2019. More to follow!

As much as I like the idea of new content every week or even more, I fear that the production quality will suffer if you are doing too many videos. So 1 video every 2 weeks is totally fine and will make everyone happy. Loving your channel since many many years, and I hope to see you for many more years coming. I wish you and your family the best, stay heathly. Greetings from Germany.

I understand that line of thinking. It's important to also grow the channel because the income would help me hire a team to help me film and edit the episodes I have in mind. To this day,. I have edited every episode, my DNA is in the story and I don't want that to change but I'll keep trying to find a way to make more content at the highest quality.
