วีดีโอ

i saw a squat toilet in Milan at a soccer stadium. the whole process sounds like an aftermath job for Mr. Clean LOL

Firstly, I really appreciate you both being more open in this video. It can be a bit scary to be a bit more direct and even maybe vulnerable. I love hearing those things from creators I like to listen to, as it, imho, gives a more realistic window into what it's like to have lived those lives. I can learn a lot through you both to help me be prepared when I do finally go to Japan. Actually just about to start freelancing for a Japanese company and so now I'm in a whirlwind learning about work culture, taxes, everything! It's a lot, even as a remote worker. My tax rate is gonna be just above 50% between US and Japan combined! But I'm happy to get a foot in the door at least. I'd really love to see you talk about more vloggers you enjoy, especially general life bloggers you enjoy watching. Since the last video about it, I've been seeking more out, and it's cool to see! I'd also like to learn a bit more about your individual work histories in Japan, maybe cons/comic markets, maybe favorite places that you visited outside of the bigger cities, and what it was like to come back to the states. Sort of like what Chase had mentioned, I'd be curious if you both had a similar experience. Oh and I'd love to see what you all are doing now, like the work Felipe is doing with Marvel. Sorry for commenting later, I was in deadline hell for my next chapter last week! lol I kinda laughed when Felipe told the story about going out after finishing his chapter cause that's me right now, just ate a meal after finishing my work. lmao. Thank you for the longer video, and it always makes my day when I can sit down and listen while I work or have lunch or dinner. It feels very casual, which is nice, versus the overly energetic vloggers I tend to see.

I'd love to hear more about Felipe's time working in the Manga industry and since I don't know anything about 5Duck other than what I've learned here, let's get some origin stories and time in Japan! Keep doing what you're both doing my dudes!

I'll like to see if they can react to MrJapan's channel on what's happening in Japan content videos. And yeah, the Japanese economy is not like what it used to be back in the 80s.

Yeah!

Love hearing this stuff

This was pretty good thanks! Chase is excellent he has a great channel!

I started watching his videos, and I agree with a lot of what he says!! I lived in Japan in 2000 and experienced similar situations as him.

Great video guys! What I really love is this is real, you´re sharing what you went through. Keep it that way!!!

After living in Japan, well Tokyo, I agree with you two and, has you, I had the similar experience when dealing with Japanese people. I can relate. I don't know what you can talk about, but no stress, that's what I like about the channel. The causal convo.

I work in publishing in the states, so it'd be cool to hear more about your experiences working in Japanese publishing. It'd also be interesting to hear more stories from Duck about doing shows.

American English is like the M.C. Escher of languages

Yooo, sick

I'm impressed... even with the hosts. Well done.

I agree with Duck that the native Japanese or those who have lived there a long time are a more interesting to get to see more about Japan below the surface level. I like to find the more niche topics rather than the same stuff over and over like "basic", living, shopping, etc. Overall, I'd really like to get a better understanding of what life is actually like there. I would like to be able to go to Japan for an extended period of time to take advantage of some manga education or maybe language studies. (Idk if I'm too old for a student visa for anything like that though). Getting to see things can really help set more realistic expectations, though some of it you can't know until you get there.

As a Filipino American with 30% Belgium and 30% Chinese ancestry. I found it very similar like how Filipinos and other Asians do. Im not very good in speaking in Filipino, but i understand some, and also Spanish too. Anyway i found Mandarin Chinese and Japanese more interesting so i can learn more about their culture than just pop culture. For my interests in Japan is more to zen temples and motorcycles, and martial arts stuff.

When my dad started speaking to me in English, I stopped speaking Spanish. He'd always try to make us speak Spanish, but it was game over. My mom spoke both fluently, but she's very American culturally. I'm the oldest, each of my siblings spoke less Spanish than the previous. lol I'll pick it up again...

Also consider that what you did is impressive. Extremely impressive.

Korean time!

I am not an "LBH" as a person but I am an "LBH" in an artistic sense. I am a solo artist that has not done very well in the States. I traveled to Japan a year ago with no booking agent or management and laid the groundwork for my return this year for Halloween. Last year, I had 2 gigs in Tokyo and 1 in Fukui. This year I have 9 gigs from Tokyo to Fukuoka and back. I have been treated so much better by Japanese audiences that I am focusing on frequent returns and less on gigs in America. In my limited experience, I have found that the music business attracts more people that can communicate in basic English. I don't know any Japanese but have confidence in my ability to tour Japan using a combination of extensive preparation and Google Translate. I just keep my sentences as short and to the point as possible. Lucky that music is so universal because you don't need to know the language to share emotions and connect with people over music. I get people asking me if I'm going to try to score with Japanese Women but that is the last thing on my mind. You can't go acting like a Passport Bro if you plan on coming back because your actions may have unforeseen consequences and affect your bookings in the future. Its possible to play in Japan on your own but it takes a lot of preparation and a little bit of guts.

is it こんあもんですよ? I’m learning and that’s a new phrase for me

Thank you for the valuable information.

When I was doing Japan trips for Otakon, I was told a few times that I was "polite but direct", and was assured it was meant as a compliment. And you aren't kidding about business drinking with music industry peeps!

Natto & Kimchi🤤 本当に体にいい

Mmmmm...ikura...like little salty bursting popping bubble packets of deliciousness. >_< I've never had natto because...omg the sound...the sticky slimy gross sound. 😭

Congrats! hope you guys would make the episodes longer

100%, I was at a bar in Taito-ku late one night and this guy from Canada came in trying to make himself sound cool, talking about that he "knew" Yakuza and how he thought the owner of the bar was hot and he wanted to f**** her. He just gave me the worst vibes, just a creepy dude talking himself up, almost like he was in Japan just because he was fleeing criminal charges in Canada. I asked the kid working the bar in Japanese if he was okay if I left, because I didn't want to leave the kid working the bar alone with this guy being the only clientele in the place.

Congrats on reaching 600! Can't wait to see what all is in store! Are you guys gonna be at NYCC by chance?

경축 600!!!🎉 조민간 6000 고우 🎉

Came here from Felipe’s IG live!

In Argentina is never a good idea drinking with your boss.

I dunno if I could live in Japan because of the drinking culture. I don’t drink or smoke so I would feel bad not going out with my friends or turning down drinks.

In Korea, there is Chamisul Soju.

I would be curious to have some nights out like this! I'm not much of a drinker myself, but I can handle my drinks pretty well with being, uh, bigger. Lmao When I was a bartender in LA, I used to have nights as a patron on my days off and it was always fun hanging out and drinking with friends. Is it pretty standard to have all types of drinks? I absolutely cannot stand beer (and can't have it to the barley anyway), but I love wine/sake and some other liquoirs.

Nomu Biru 飲むビル

please make Cringe Musume x Comic-Con eye stickers for SDCC25 🤩🙏

Felipe also mentioned "Little Tokyo" LA. They used to sell deleter papers for drawing manga back in 2000s imported to Japanese bookstores like Kinokuniya. Right now, they sell sketch books and Japanese pens and copic markers for coloring.

The completion of a cosplay is the pose.

Fue un gusto vertde nuevo en la convención después de varios años.

aye idk if Felipe seen it , but i made two videos on my channel about peep choo, (which did crazy numbers) and his journey into making manga lol i maybe one of the people who was pronouncing it wrong lmao i love you hear Felipes feedback on the videos!

Bro it’s always fantastic to see you! Can’t wait to see what’s been cooking. Take care dude!

wow dat hand drawn artwork!!!! 3:57

You talking about the feeling of your first book is the same way I feel and I don't even have a series/tankoubon, yet. Just a oneshot/yomikiri. Lmao Have mercy I definitely pronounced it wrong! I'm so sorry! Haha 😂 noted for the future. 😅 Comiket is a dream to table at someday.

THE WAY I clicked on this so fast. 0:19
