never ask a woman: her age a man: his salary japan: why

After watching this, I realized that Aki is a marketing genius with her figure.

I wanna see you buy products that would make Joey’s life miserable, for at least the time that you own them.

*opens umbrella indoors* Fortune: 👁 👄 👁

She always asks “WHY JAPAN!?” But never “HOW’S Japan” 😔

I can just imagine someone using the shout box and just straight up *screaming* in the box and just be sitting there like *”you good?”*

So if the fly thing was serious: They're most likely Sciara analis ,, and from own experience they're very difficult to deal with, as in I myself have been dealing with them for months now. The only ways from personal experience is natural predators but an other option is removing all the soil and cleaning the roots. Drying out really doesn't help, because some eggs seem to survive without issue really without water and once you water them again finally, the eggs just hatch and it continues.

No MATTER how many times Aki says "Chindogu" in the intro of Why Japan i still manage to forget it and learn it again while watching the New Why Japan episode

I really need this Sakeboard...Also useful in gaming when you’re kinda tilted at someone

Japan: So how many weird items do you want? Aki: *Yes*

Aki: *uploads* Subcribers: *wanna see some real speed?*

Aki. 1dont feel guilt if a friend listens to a rant. Just be ready to listen when they rant Even ! Eventually they will need you too. 2 with plants. You stop water till dirt just dries. Mist leaves with squirt bottle till then. Then Add. One inch (no less) layer of sand. Deco sand in colors is fine but sand. The drying deters the larval stage and the sand deters new egg laying. After you add the sand resume watering. Don’t let watering hole form , just adjust the sand to cover. If it’s still bad. After a few days. Add a sprinkling of baking soda on top of the sand. To catch adults still flying around yellow sticky traps work best. ( yellow plastic shapes covered in goo- usually butterfly shaped. Check amazon). Put In the pots! At night, put a light source ( I use an old phone with no auto off) next to said sticky traps to attract the little f’ers. It really does work. I have hundreds of plants indoors near the beach so... trust me it works. But be a little patient. Give it two weeks. You can also spray the plants in the meantime with insecticidal soap, not a long term fix but works to knock down an issue fast.

the intro is so *refreshing*

Instead of throwing the trash ones out, you should have the world's weirdest yard sale

umbrella hat looks like such a great thing... until you remember the wind exists

Put a layer of diatomaceous earth on top of the plant soil, it kills basically all pests that try to go through it without damaging the plants or being dangerous to humans etc

In Brazil this "umbrella hat" was really popular in the 2000's! (Colored ones tho) Some people used to sell ice cream during the summer and used to wear this to avoid the hot days and the sun :)

Not gonna lie... wore the umbrella hats as a kid when we’d go to the beach 😂😂😂

aki: umbrella hat me: not aki: M'LADY ME: I NEED IT

It’s a while since I’ve seen another “WHY JAPAN?!!” episode

US: what is weird about you Japan Japan: yes

One day Aki would wish she never threw away that umbrella.

Oh hell yeah, been waiting for another "WHY Japan" for ages.

I love how the sub matched the dub perfectly.

yikes, i... wasn't expecting a relatable episode today. Everyone struggles with insecurities, i know you hear shit like this from everyone but i totally understand that feeling, people just saying "Everything will be fine" doesn't just magically make everything disappear. I've listened to a lot of rants from friends, I always try to encourage them to speak frankly around me, because i hate seeing them sad as i care so damn much about them. But i admit, it does sometimes feel like I have nowhere to turn, because I don't look after myself enough. But being able to help people makes up for that. Also i fucking hate fruit flies, can confirm they are the most irritating pieces of shit in the fucking universe

I had one of those head umbrellas and I actually wore that outside.

All jokes aside, Why Japan is my favorite KZfaq series.

Aki if you're that worried about your insecurities just tell us straight were here to support you 💙💙

She has youtooz guys ive ordered it already les goooo

i have problem with fungus gnats during the summer-- i cover the top with small rocks and it deters the bugs from laying eggs. also flies are attracted to yellow, so yellow sticky tape helps take care of the adults that fly.

This secretly is one of the deepest videos Aki has ever produced and I think it hits close to home for a lot of people here as well

I have one of those umbrella hats! I used to wear it when going to school when it's rainy. It really helps.

When you be screaming into the thingy: Me: Realizes you were saying something different Also Me: Scrolls Back to begging and ignores subtitles Also Also Me: Same-

I ordered one of your yootooz things! It's literally the ONLY collectible I've ever ordered.. 🤣

Here's a trick for getting rid of fruit flies. My wife usually mixes just a small amount of dish soap and vinegar or apple cider vinegar. It attracts the fruit flies to the scent and it gets rid of them fast. Hope this info helps, and as always, great video! Much love!

Connor's been into hats and he needs an umbrella for the sun all the time. 2 birds with one umbrella hat

That damn toast in the intro always gets me hungry for toast! WhY! AKI?!

Can definitely relate to the fly situation. I often lie in my bed and think about how lucky I am to be living in Japan during these times and being able to go to school on the GI Bill so I don't have to worry about money. Not to mention being able to shoot and edit videos part-time for extra money for gear and stuff, and to meet so many interesting people along the way. It gets hard for me to sleep at night, so I go to take a shower before bed, and what do I see in there with me? A fly. I don't know how it got in there, all I know is that it's there. Sometimes I shoo it away and carry on smartly. Other times, I just turn on the shower and let the water rain on my head, all while the fly watches. What helps me get through those times is to go farther south in Kanagawa to the beach. There, I can feel the stresses melt away as I eat some BBQ and drink my chuhai. The ocean is full of diatoms and when they die, leave behind small skeletons. These skeletons are ground up and turned into what is called Diatomaceous Earth. If you sprinkle this in your plant pots, the flies should go away. In short, go to the beach.

3:30 This is a clever way to make us watch this part multiple times 😂😂

I've got one of those hat umbrellas. I basically ONLY use it for taking the trash out to the curb when it's raining

I genuinely feel the same as she does, and it really does suck to be honest, but what can you really do I guess, when you generally overthink everything

if you notice the flies more around your plants, I'd suggest you look into fungus gnats. they're really annoying and I've been using diluted 3% hydrogen peroxide, 1 part hydrogen peroxide to 4 parts water and soak the top layer of soil using a spray bottle every time I water so about once a week. so far its been a couple of weeks and they've reduced but you can also look into diluting neem oil and spraying the soil with that

Her rant in the shout box really hit me. Houseflies man.

Got my Akidearest figure preordered so happy you got Youtooz!💚💚💚

The shout cancelled thing make you sound like a news report.

just ordered the yootooz!!! very excited >:]

heyo aki! if your pest problem is coming from your plants then they're probably fungus gnats, not fruit flies. they come from the top layer of soil the plants are potted in. there's a bunch of things you can try before resorting to throwing the plants out, like bottom watering your plants until they die out (fill a big bowl or your bathtub with water and just place any plants that have holes in the bottom of the pots into the water and they'll soak up as much as they need then stop. you know they've been watered thoroughly when the soil on top is slightly damp.) there are little sticky traps you stick into the pot to catch them. you can also just re-pot them and get brand new soil if its bad enough. plus you can add a layer of sand over all of the soil on top to keep them from coming up and breeding. my whole house has been full of plants for a few years and the only time I get pests is when I bring a new plant home, so if you can get rid of them now I don't think they'll come back. the bottom watering and sand work for me no problem. hope it helps!

I can't stop looking at the figure

why japan is one of my favourite things you upload Aki!

Poor Aki. Its ok we are all in the depression gang with you.

I waited until the time turned 3:00 PM and instantly bought your Youtooz. It's so cute!!

I bought your youtoonz as soon as it came out can't wait for it

Mix a little hydrogen peroxide with lots of water, kills the eggs too! I have been bottom watering and that definitely helps keep the gnats down 😊

That umbrella cap would be nice to have when riding a bike and it rains

1:31 ‘’The new summer look” -Akidearest 2021

I love your videos but I think you need a hug. I used close captions and heard everything you really said. Your an amazing person, don't ever forget that. We all have our struggles. Stay strong Aki, it will be ok.

Can we all agree that Aki and Joey are the best KZfaqrs.

Yei

I just wanted to say your content is really nice for me to watch and enjoyable. Keep the good work up

Thank you for this video I’ve been feeling very low recently and you have really made my night! Stay safe and stay beautiful love youuuuy! ❤️

Japan why not ?

Hoi

For your plants: i always use those sticky plastic thingies made to trap flies. There are ones that are made espiecially for plant pots that have a longer end to stick into soil. There is glue on both sides and yeah... Leave it in for a couple of days and it should be okay. I have isopods and there is a kind of mosquito(not the ones that bite humans and they are as tiny as fruit flies) that loved the damp soil in their terrarium... So i had to stick one of those stickers on the ceiling of the box and after some time the problem was gone.

The Youtooz subtlety spinning in the background is a nice touch. ✨

Pog

E

ive been rewatching all the why japan videos and YES A NEW ONE!!! I LIVE THIS SERIES

I have ordered your figure I'm so excited to get it and for your plant problem have you tried this use a solution of water and soap in a spray bottle to spray into the top layer of soil (or pour it directly on top). You can also do this with an organic insecticidal soap or Neem oil mixture; these natural pesticides should be effective after a few treatments. If that doesn't work get rid of all the soil and use fresh soil make sure you clean off the roots if you change the soil I hope this helps

I literally had this same idea the other day I personally think it's a great idea for a hat

Woohoo!! A new episode of Why Japan!

For the flies: Springtails seem to work by eating the eggs in the soil, so might be worth trying that. It will also help keep your soil nice and healthy by eating fungal spores and such.

I ordered my aki youtooz! Love all of your content aki!

I gots your youtooz preordered!!! I’m excited

Omg 😂 I remember wanting one of those umbrella hats back in elementary school! It was one of our prizes for one of our cookie dough fundraisers. It was was beachball colors. ⛱

I used to have an umbrella cap as a kid (you grow up in FL and ever go to a theme park, you learn to have a poncho or SOMETHING) and it worked, but *my God* did it give you a headache so it wouldn't come off. It was a pain because of the headache it cause-a very very very literal pain. Love the content!

You're so down to earth and funny as fuck lol. Joey is such a lucky guy, found his and your channel recently and I'm so glad you two found each other! Beautiful new home too

well this is the firt youtooz i bought, glad to say i cannot wait for it to arrive!

Those umbrella hats were real popular in the US in the 90s, I still have mine though one of the supports is broken so it doesn't open properly. Also worn by Bill Murray in Space Jam :d

We hear you Aki thankyou for sharing . Positive vibes your way 🤙🏾

For the fly problem (not sure if it was a joke or not), I find that ceylon cinnamon (specifically ceylon which is pure cinnamon rather than regular) is a cheap and easy way of helping. You just sprinkle a little on top of the soil of each plant and it will not only repel bugs (especially gnats and mosquitos) because of the scent but it will also get rid of fungus (which will prevent pests like gnats laying eggs) and prevent infection. Also for plant with wide leaves, cleaning the leaves gently every month or so with neem oil also helps.

i find that rant too relatable and the subtitles were great 0:

Those flies sound like gnats! I had them too and honestly I just used regular ant spray to get them out of my plants and kill all the eggs. My plants survive the spray without an issue (but I guess that may depend on how fragile the plant is and how strong the product) Good luck Aki!

that umbrella hat is quite popular here in the philippines. moms and titas (aunties) use that when hanging laundries to dry :D

We used some of those umbrella hat to make myconids (mushroom peoples) costumes a couples year ago XD

I had a rainbow umbrella cap in the early 90s, not useful when its windy but it worked great for gardening.

yowwww that umbrella cap was what i wanted for my birthday as a kid cause I saw fish vendors here in the philippines using it and i thought (and still do) think its cool

i have that same problem sometimes with gnats it's usually over watering for your plant's put a some sand on the top of the dirt that's supposed to help prevent them maybe a small amount of dish soap and water the next time you water them it's supposed to kill the babys in the dirt and before you water them let them completely dry out it helps to set reminders on your phone of when to water them and to help kill the one's flying around put a small dish of apple cider vinegar

For catching fruit flies I found that 1/4 cup of Apple Vinegar left out with a drop of liquid dish soap catches them. The apple vinegar attracts them and the drop of soap leaves a film on top of it that traps them in the bowl/cup. Renew the trap/traps every other day until the traps remain clean or fruit fly clean.

Fun Fact: The subtitles are different from what she yells in the sake box. Also, what she struggles with is so relatable. 🥲

I feel you Aki, sooooo feel you when you were screaming. I go through the same.

I remember everyone in my hometown back in the Philippines wear those Umbrella Hats because in Winter it would just be 1-3 months of Rainy Afternoons and the hat made it more convienent because you don't need to hold the Umbrella especially when you have other stuff in your hands

For the plants you can try dish soap a few drops in a spray bottle and spray them really well. Or go to home and garden center and look for plant bug spray they should have something

IVE BEEN WATCHING YOU FOR 3-4 YEARSS

Been a while since I’ve watched your videos and you still make me laugh- that umbrella one would be very useful if it just snug on properly.

I used to wear the umbrella cap as a kid at the shore! I loved it 🥺

Hi! 🌿🌿🌿 For your plants I Had the same problem. The best thing that worked for my tiny jungle at home without putting a ton of toxic products was... To put matchsticks upside down in the earth of the pots of my plants (like, 10-15 matchsitcks/pot) and then water it. The microdosage of sulfur kills the flies' larva and you are done with flies a week later! Also : be sure to buy pots with holes and put clay balls in the bottom of each pot to ensure the drainage of the excess water (with a plate underneath you can empty a few hours after watering your plants. 🌿🌿🌿

I have the same problem with those flies so I made a water trap. In a jar (or a cup, doesn't matter) put 2/3 parts of water and 1/3 part of oil (cooking oil is okay). Place the trap near the soil of the plant.

There are some cool fly traps that come on a pop sickle sticks that look like butterflies that you can slid into the plant soil in the pot, and use that til your plants dry out and capture the fruit flies that way. If you start to see the plants wilt after a while you can water them then, as long as it hasnt been too long, they should recover. There are some of those fly traps online on amazon, but most of the ones I always see are from asian countries so you might be able to get some locally. The normal hanging fly trap tapes work too but they are harder to get near multiple potted plants and not as cute.

We need detective aki back also 3:39- 4:26 : I put the captions on and honestly same aki , exactly the same , I’m here for you

I was so excited seeing this come up on my notifications. :3
