Please don't give up this great Chanel. I just found it this month and have truly enjoyed watching many of the different rooms. You have to go on and do more. You have many subscribers that have taken awhile to get to this amount. I think that they would want you to continue showing all the different ones like you have been.
Hi Usui-San, Thank you for answering our questions. This updated video allowed us to learn more about your micro apartment and living a minimal lifestyle. We all can learn to live with less personal belongings. I wish eating out was inexpensive in Honolulu, Hawaii (btw, hope you visit the islands one day). I will look forward to when you publish your book. It will always be a pleasure to support your channel and enjoy watching your next micro apartment adventures. Take Care, Larry
Thank you, Usui-san, for welcoming us into your home and for taking us along on your explorations of other micro apartments. I hope everything works out where you can publish your book - I would love to read it! Have a great day!
Thank goodness you're alright. Been worrying after long time of no upload. Always nice to watch your videos and reviews. A micro apartment life needs minimalism, inventiveness and diligence.
Usui San you are an inspiration for us ! I think you are a wise and insightful person. Minimalism is not easy for everyone in this materialistic society, especially knowing what you really need and what you don't. But you have struck the perfect balance, I really have a lot of respect for you.
Thank you for showing all your clothes and the difference between winter- and summsr clothes and answering my questions! I love learning about your minimalist lifestyle.
Sou simpatizante do minimalismo,então acho que micro apartamento/casas são uma firma de viver com aquilo que realmente importa.Daqui não levamos nada de material,sim sentimentos e lembranças.👍👏🙏🇯🇵❤🇧🇷.
Thank you, Usui-San🙏. I now better understand how you chose this way of life. It suits you perfectly. I look forward to reading your book one day when it is published.
Your room is very efficient and probably set up just the way you like it. I really can’t imagine you living anywhere else with your minimalist outlook on life. Truly, do we really need everything we’re ’supposed’ to have? I admire the way you live. Thank you for showing your apartment again, I think you get a lot done here.❤
This is a true mini, but it has space for your necessities including toilet paper storage. No shoe cabinet, however, and because you don't cook you don't need a refrigerator.
I'm always fascinated by your micro-apartment videos. Although my physical health means I couldn't function in a space that small, I love seeing how we can make our lives and spaces simpler. Thank-you for sharing more about your lifestyle and outlook.
I am happy your rent did not go up so you can stay in your home. But, I am also happy the possibly sent you on a micro apartment adventure and you took us along. I like the Command hanger system.
"Soy un vago" lo que me he reído las veces que lo has dicho. Es bueno conocerse bien. Ya habíamos visto tu microapartamento pero esta vez ha sido más explícito. Eres muy ordenado y eso se lleva bien con tu espacio elegido. Imagino que tampoco tendrás coche y usarás los servicios públicos. Se come muy barato en tu universidad y en los sitios que has mostrado. Me gusta como piensas y vives. Abrazos
I wouldn't change anything about the layout of your apartment. It's suitable based on your needs and lifestyle. I would, however, add a small headboard at the head of your bed for the accidental head bumps towards the wall. 😂😅 BTW, I'd love to purchase your book when you release it. 🎉
Its very nice home. I think the washingmachine is a bit too large and the bed could be lifted on the wall during daytimes or hidden under a table😊and there would be more space
I'm breaking up with my partner and I'll probably move to a 15m2 apartment near Rome, Italy, too bad it won't be as nice as this one in the video! and what a beautiful big window
Thank you for sharing your apartment and a bit about your life with us, Usui-san. I very much enjoy your sense of humour. I am NOT a minimalist but it is fascinating to see how other people live. 😊
Hi Usui-San. Thank you for sharing your beautiful apartment. I think you have the best set up compared to any other apartments you have shown us! 🎉🎉🎉 😊
I think your micro apartment is wonderful! If I had the same layout the only thing I would need to change is a taller bed to fit more storage under (because I am not a minimalist and have too much clothing 😆).
Usui-san, you show us a lot of mico and mini apartments, but I must admit your apartment is probably one of the best. It may be small, but it has everything you need to live comfortably. It has a good design, plenty of light, and in a good location for your lifestyle.
When I visited Japan I really loved the way the cities are built for people walking and bicycling. Small, narrow streets set up with few 'through roads' so the only cars around belonged to the people who live on that street, are visiting there, or delivering supplies to the shops. It was easy to walk anywhere and each little neighbourhood had everything people need - including food, amenities, public buildings, stores, rail transport and buses. Very different from the Canada and the USA where you usually need a car or bus to do anything. Japanese streets were inconvenient for car traffic and meant you could walk, safely, even in the middle of the road. Finally, people who live on these narrow streets set up little gardens of flowers, plants, trees, etc., on the roads for the pleasure of everyone. Even if there was no soil - gardens appeared in pots and containers with local shrines sometimes dotted around. Very 'human and humane' cities. Japanese cities really supported their citizens making a minimalist lifestyle easier and pleasurable.
Thank you for sharing! Lol my two pairs of shoes are Asics as well.....but not the same color as yours 😂🤣 Since I'm on my feet my whole shift at work they have been the most comfortable for me. 😊
I would definitely want something bigger, because I love my stuff. I also only go to the store once a week and cook food at home. But you do you. It makes you happy.
I don't think I could ever truly be that minimalist, but I do like to balance out minimalism with my desire to own stuff. It makes purchasing items easier because I only get things that I truly want (and not shop in excess) or I buy things that offer multiple functions. I also invest in higher quality products so that there is less need to buy more. Currently, I still own too many things, but the process of purging is ongoing and I hope to get to a point where I can have only my most favorite things even if it isn't super minimalist.
I love to cook but a lot of that love comes from necessity; if i was living in Japan where food is plentiful, good and super cheap, i wouldn’t even bother.. i could do without a kitchen with ramen at 3,50 euros! In my city there is a japanese restaurant that charges 18 euro for the cheapest option, which is miso ramen. And it sucks 😂 Crazy
Usui! Thank you for sharing your home with us. My only feedback would be to please get more than two pairs of socks and underwear! Haha! I do have one question: why do you have so many disposable chopsticks instead of two pairs of reusable ones?
As Japan's city and street environment, it's so easy to be a minimalist. The whole street, neighborhood and community is so clean and tidy. As for me, living in Taipei is not as good as Japan cities, not just Taiwan, maybe other major cites of other countries. If you live in a micro apartment, you will feel very stranded.
Olá Usui. Acho que esse apartamento está muito bom 👍🏻. O preço é ótimo, a localização é ótima, então continue morando aí 👍🏻. Muitas felicidades para você 👍🏻♥️.
It's interesting how few items you have. The washing machine and the computer is probably the most expensive items in your apartment. Question: Is there a public Sento nearby your apartment? That's something that you don't show in your reviews. Maybe you can add that to your future reviews as well.
I would love to read your book someday, hopefully it gets translated into English. Like you, I also only get ebooks now, although that started before I began my own minimalist journey due to vision issues. However, I have a small handful of books still because they’re out of print and never made into ebooks.
Thank you so much for creating this video and showing us your apartment in detail. I've spent months wondering about the fridge, haha. No fridge! I think you should replace your use of the word "lazy" with "efficient." You're efficient and living a true minimalist lifestyle (one I greatly admire and respect). I have a question about the water you store. Is that because you don't like drinking water from the tap or is it a safety measure to prepare for any disaster? I enjoy your gentle humour. As far as furniture, I think the arrangement you have is ideal! Personally I'd like a duvet cover made with coloured cloth but that's just me. Ah yes, Walden (grin) and the Hitchhiker's Guide, great reading there. That's a wonderful washer/dryer you bought. I join the many voices in saying I'd really like to read your book which I assume will be sort of a memoir about your own journey in life and into minimalism. I hope you've watched the Wim Wenders film "Perfect Days." This video of yours reminded me of that film (one I've watched three times).
I live in the Los Angeles Beach Cities area. You can't get a bag of M&Ms for less than $1.50. Everything is pretty pricey so it costs more to eat out than in. But even tho it's expensive here, the weather makes it worth it. No tornado, hurricane, flooding worries for the most part.
Ja bez lodówki nie wyobrażam sobie życia. Też nie gotuję w domu i mam małą lodówkę, która jest dla mnie za mała. A nie mam miejsca na większą. Nawet gdybym miała jakiś sklep obok domu to nie wyobrażam sobie wychodzenia w środku nocy po coś zimnego do picia np. w upały. Nawet teraz mam zimne napoje w lodówce.
Wow that micro apartment is about the size of one of my bathrooms. I would go nuts in about 2 weeks time. You must be a very strong willed person. Enjoy your apartment even if it is small. Thanks for your videos.
I wish I could be a minimalist but I couldn't get rid of my books ( over 1200 and counting ) including Douglas Adams ! Murphy bed? Is that American? Never seen one in the U.K. Do you teach English?
Your landlord should substitute that huge washing machine with a smaller, thinner one with top loading door. without that monster washer in it, the room would feel so much roomier
How would you arrange the furniture in this micro apartment?😁
I would have used A loft bed and would have made a gaming setup under the loft bed, I would also would have added a wall- mounted shelf for storing more clothes and shoes😁

So far, taking into consideration the location, price, and your set up I feel your micro apartment suits you best. Thank you for sharing😊.

I say this sincerely: Respect. You've pared your living situation down to essentials. Thank you for sharing!
Bien por ti. Yo no podría vivir sin refrigerador, y sin poder ver al exterior. Me encanta el orden y la limpieza de tu microapartamento.☺

Thanks for sharing! This was one of my favorite videos.
It's good that you can lock the bathroom if you have guests.😂 Thanks for the interesting insight!
Thank you, Usui-San🙏. I now better understand how you chose this way of life. It suits you perfectly. I look forward to reading your book one day when it is published.
I agree about a decent bed, it makes life so much easier.
*Have a nice day!* ❤️❤️

Thank you for sharing the origin story of your toilet paper storage obsession 😂 And your apartment fits you perfectly🎉
This is a true mini, but it has space for your necessities including toilet paper storage. No shoe cabinet, however, and because you don't cook you don't need a refrigerator.
I'm happy you love your space 💟
Awww welcome back, i miss your video ❤ 😊

Thank you for taking time out of your busy life to show us your apartment. Yours is really the best. Until next time!
I am happy your rent did not go up so you can stay in your home. But, I am also happy the possibly sent you on a micro apartment adventure and you took us along.

You are so close to the 100,000 subscribers mark and get you silver play botton plack. This is not the time to quit.
Home Sweet Home! 😁👍

Wow!!! Cheer up for your book!!!
I wouldn't change anything about the layout of your apartment. It's suitable based on your needs and lifestyle. I would, however, add a small headboard at the head of your bed for the accidental head bumps towards the wall. 😂😅
BTW, I'd love to purchase your book when you release it. 🎉
I love watching your videos. Thank you for making a new one, I've been wondering where you were 😊
Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy...classic!😅❤
The three locks must be for when Vogon poets come knocking! 😁👍
@@giulianomarco Hang on to your towel!😉
Its very nice home. I think the washingmachine is a bit too large and the bed could be lifted on the wall during daytimes or hidden under a table😊and there would be more space
Always, always have a plan for the zombie apocalypse. Thank you for sharing, So long, and thanks for all the fish.
Thanks for your comment!😊🧟
And 42!!🐬
I'm breaking up with my partner and I'll probably move to a 15m2 apartment near Rome, Italy, too bad it won't be as nice as this one in the video! and what a beautiful big window
I am so excited for your e-book!!

It’s a bit too minimalist for me, doesn’t show you’re personally, glad it suits you😊
Toilet roll storage!!
The perfect book for your emergency pack! As a life-long fan of the Hitch-hikers books, it is a wise and uplifting book.
42!😎
🤍🤎🤍🤎 Que lindo vivir así solo con lo indispensable da tanta paz y tranquilidad 🤍🤎

Usui-san, we had to use waxed toilet paper at primary school here in the U.K. in the 1970s! 😱
A curtain would be nice for your room. 😀
usui, thank you for sharing more about you. very interesting.
Great micro-apartment, the storage in the floor surprised me!
For me, I would replace the washing machine with a small fridge/freezer.
I love to cook but a lot of that love comes from necessity; if i was living in Japan where food is plentiful, good and super cheap, i wouldn’t even bother.. i could do without a kitchen with ramen at 3,50 euros!

Wow tu micro apartamento es más pequeño que mi habitación!!!
Entonces no será problema hacer un micro apartamento de mi habitación! Gracias ^^
Olá Usui. Acho que esse apartamento está muito bom 👍🏻. O preço é ótimo, a localização é ótima, então continue morando aí 👍🏻. Muitas felicidades para você 👍🏻♥️.
❤❤
32:22 I followed your channel since you began and missed the Usui theme!
wow only my uniform is more than 27 pcs 😂
It's interesting how few items you have. The washing machine and the computer is probably the most expensive items in your apartment.
Question: Is there a public Sento nearby your apartment? That's something that you don't show in your reviews. Maybe you can add that to your future reviews as well.
Thanks 🙏🍃🌹
minimal!
loved it :)
Puedo mirar horas y horas videos de Usui?. Por supuesto que sí!
I would love to read your book someday, hopefully it gets translated into English.

I think Murphy beds or any kind of folding bed would be too much bother to put away every morning.
I wish I could be a minimalist but I couldn't get rid of my books ( over 1200 and counting ) including Douglas Adams !
Murphy bed? Is that American? Never seen one in the U.K.
Do you teach English?
I wonder if the reason Murphy beds aren't popular in Japan has to do with the area being so prone to earthquakes.
What is your work a the Uni?
Your landlord should substitute that huge washing machine with a smaller, thinner one with top loading door. without that monster washer in it, the room would feel so much roomier
Where do you keep your clothes?
👊👍
I'm having dejavu, is this a reupload?
Anyway IKEA also has a 1x1 meter square sofa block that opens up to a bed.
👍
