Sorry to be so offtopic but does anybody know of a trick to log back into an Instagram account?? I was stupid forgot my password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me.
@Israel Casen thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
Shogo, until I found your channel by accident I have only ever had a fleeting interest in Japan. I always found it difficult to get someone's take on the culture that isn't either incredibly Japanese (and so struggles to explain indigenous concepts to westerners) or a foreign enthusiast (and so struggles to bring the experiences to the audience without being very clearly an outsider with an outsider's perspective). I really appreciate your work Shogo, the fact that you have a life filled with tradition, obviously living as a contemporary in Japan, as well as having lived in the West. It all combines to give you the perfect blend of cultural insight to deliver your content in a unique, informative and palatable way. Thank you for your diligence and dedication to bridging the cultural gap for those of us who find the mysteries of your beautiful homeland intriguing and alluring. I wish you and your family a safe and happy new year, and I hope that you personally have even more success with your channel.
I do kraft paper decorations with personalized ink designs on the paper, this way they are fully recyclable and aren't wasteful like traditional Christmas wrappings are. My mother wraps her gifts in new dish cloths that ppl can use.
Thanks! I just finished New Years here in Osaka and now I have a better idea about what is happening! I visited Kyoto and went to many shrines and it was pretty crazy!
Hi Shogo and family! Happy New Year to you, Harumi, and Hinata! Thank you very much for such great video plenty of awesome information about the way Japanese people celebrate New Year. Greetings from Costa Rica!
What fun traditions! I agree with the greeting card though, although getting mail nowadays is a nice treat, it’s so much easier to just call or text and the sentiment still gets across. I wish we had nicer traditions in the US other than getting drunk and blowing off fireworks till like 2 am….
Your content is really neat! I've visited Japan before, and your videos are giving me hope I'll get to come again, now with more knowledge about Japanese culture, once the pandemic is over.
...wait! I’m a little confused. So when your mother took your New Years money to buy gifts for your relatives, would she say that the gifts were from you, Shogo-san, or from your entire family??🤔🤔🤔
Thank you for leaving a comment! It would be from me, Shogo. Although I didn’t decide it though. lol But it’s not something that every family does, most of my friends had all of the money for themselves so!
Hi Shogo. Just started watching your vlogs. They're so informative. When will Japan be open to tourist again? My children & I were supposed to visit Japan last Dec but bec of the pandemic it was put on hold.
My late mother's style of ozoni was very simple and bland. Just mochi, mizuna greens and dried shrimp and konbu (kelp) to flavor the dashi. I still remember this: When I was in my 20s nearly 40 years ago, I had the audacity to pour shoyu in my ozoni. You should have seen the glare I got from my mother!
In Shintoism there are no gods just kami except for the three base gods Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto (her brother), and lastly Fujin together they make the sun, moon and wind gods, and Kami are descended from them.
Can the mochi decorations keep fresh for a long time? If it was tradition to eat them on new years day, after they have been standing around for several days beforehand? Great video btw, love your channel ^^
Wait, let me make sure I understand this correctly. It was once a custom to visit people that were indebted to you on new years day? You mean someone I owe money to would actually come knocking on my door and wish me better luck in the new year? "Hey, Chuckles, this is Guido, open up! We know you're in there. Good luck in the new year. You still owe Don Cannoli 50 bucks."
Over here is pretty colonized on the reserve but also our godparents wish us happy New Years and or give us a present or money Wich I never understood kinda so but idk
In the Islam we have a sugar day and there get children money and sweets too much only if you kiss the hand of the older family member and but on your forehead
Oh I forgot to say more things and on that day children get toys too and that sugar day will be made often in mushes that are places were Muslims are praying and the adults do that act to but they refuse to get money from the older family members and ther will be prayinyd in a big group
It’s sad to loose culture. It may be easy to send a text, but the thought is a beautiful gift to put that time aside for special people and send a postcard. Character.
For gift wrapping paper, I just get some free extra paper bags (made out of 100% recycled paper) at my grocery store. Then me and my children, deconstruct, paint and decorate them. It's a fun holiday craft and my kids love personalizing each family members gift wrap.
Helpful info. Even living in Japan and asking my Japanese friends about the specifics they be like "dunno, just a decoration". Learnt from a 15 min video more than from living in Japan for 4 years :/ P. S. You might be one of the twelve Japanese people who actually speaks English. A miracle.
I suddenly searching for japanese new year celebration for my class homework ,and my friend send that to me ,your explanation is so beautiful ,I like your culture it is similar to my sri lankaan culture ,i love both of this cultures ,then thank you so much for the helping me for my homework❤🎉
Regarding writing and sending a nengajyo. I think it's the same as writing a letter for someone. Doing such shows sincerety to the receiving party, it's more personalised not only because you took time to think and write the message but also your personal handwriting.
Nice channel! very well produced videos for a starting channel. Maybe it could help having some background music. Also, I would be much interested in new year's eve games and activities. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for this! Im not japanese but my dad lived in Japan for a number of years before I was born and always speaks highly of his time there. He met a lovely lady there and they became pregnant but sadly the baby didnt survive birth. I've always had an affinity towards japanese culture and am doing new years things from the culture this year to honor my half sibling. I really appreciate it!
How did you enjoy the New Year's season?
I celebrated the new year with a herniated disc... lol
I celebrated with my family. We all wish for a good 2021 and good health for all.

Great comment!
I was just wondering what the new year decorations in Animal Crossing signifird!
Same here and now we all know!
Same hah!
yess. ^^
Yay !
I went to a traditional Japanese restaurant a few days ago and saw these decorations up and was wondering what they symbolized! Super interesting!!
Congrats on reaching 10k subs😁
"It is a waste of paper resources just to follow tradition".
I have this same argument with friends and family every Christmas.
Shamefur dispray
That is why it is a celebration...

❤❤❤ I'm from Pakistan i like Japan new year celebration 🎊🎊🎊
Brilliant Shogo, fascinating, I am so interested in Japanese culture.
Thank you so much🎎👍⛩😊✌💐🌞✌take care be safe
No I write cards for Christmas and mail it to my friends. It's cool.
Thank you very much, I really found this informative and helpful 明けましておめでとうございます。今年もよろしくお願いします。
This is wonderfully detailed, 本当にありがとうございました！ I will be showing this to my Japanese 1 students tomorrow!
Thank you for an informative video
Thanks for this wonderfully comprehensive review. Great job!🎍🎋🤙
Love Shogatsu
Hi Shogo and family! Happy New Year to you, Harumi, and Hinata! Thank you very much for such great video plenty of awesome information about the way Japanese people celebrate New Year. Greetings from Costa Rica!
I love the japanese culture. So much to learn about my favourite land i will visite once. Thank you for your videos.
I love these videos they are so informative, these make great classes on the information given.
That was a nice video of New Years tradition in Japan. Especially Money giving, my younger relatives will love that
I love Japan! I wish to be there one day !!!!
Love these call outs of your family! They are so cute! 😊
I'm so glad to have stumbled upon your channel, Shogo.
I feel that it's not a waste if you recycle the postcard. Also I would find a post card or greeting card, to be more personal than a text message.
What fun traditions! I agree with the greeting card though, although getting mail nowadays is a nice treat, it’s so much easier to just call or text and the sentiment still gets across. I wish we had nicer traditions in the US other than getting drunk and blowing off fireworks till like 2 am….
Another thing with the Nengajyo is the lottery code at the bottom where you could be a lucky winner of a prize. :D
Thank you the video was very informative.
Your content is really neat! I've visited Japan before, and your videos are giving me hope I'll get to come again, now with more knowledge about Japanese culture, once the pandemic is over.
Lots of love from ODISHA (INDIA).
...wait! I’m a little confused. So when your mother took your New Years money to buy gifts for your relatives, would she say that the gifts were from you, Shogo-san, or from your entire family??🤔🤔🤔

Hi Shogo. Just started watching your vlogs. They're so informative. When will Japan be open to tourist again? My children & I were supposed to visit Japan last Dec but bec of the pandemic it was put on hold.
Thank you so much for explaining !

Really good explanation THANK YOU
the king is back
Im always looking forward for your more videos sensei..
ALSO CONGRATS YOU HIT 10K as soon or almost near the new year !!!!!!!!!!!!11
Thank u for sharing information abt japanese ritual n all. I'm looking forward to knowing about japanese culture.
Hello Shogo Perhaps the elderly think that a paper New Year's card is more beautiful.
In Shintoism there are no gods just kami except for the three base gods Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto (her brother), and lastly Fujin together they make the sun, moon and wind gods, and Kami are descended from them.
Can the mochi decorations keep fresh for a long time? If it was tradition to eat them on new years day, after they have been standing around for several days beforehand?
Great video btw, love your channel ^^
What are those red kimono where I see people wear, during new years even at home
That's so cool 😎
Hi shogo...new subscriber here love from Malaysia 🇲🇾🇲🇾
Will your family celebrating the Chinese New Year too ...
I remember watching クレヨンしんちゃん and しんちゃん really wanted the お年玉 but his mom just gave him a みかん instead😂
Wait, let me make sure I understand this correctly. It was once a custom to visit people that were indebted to you on new years day? You mean someone I owe money to would actually come knocking on my door and wish me better luck in the new year? "Hey, Chuckles, this is Guido, open up! We know you're in there. Good luck in the new year. You still owe Don Cannoli 50 bucks."
Are food offerings at home shrines eaten or thrown away?
He said, the mochi offering is eaten, generally used to make the ozoni soup.
Over here is pretty colonized on the reserve but also our godparents wish us happy New Years and or give us a present or money Wich I never understood kinda so but idk
The coffee's NOT, free.😞💔
Nice content!
Be aware that you vocal fry a LOT when speaking English.
In the Islam we have a sugar day and there get children money and sweets too much only if you kiss the hand of the older family member and but on your forehead
Oh I forgot to say more things and on that day children get toys too and that sugar day will be made often in mushes that are places were Muslims are praying and the adults do that act to but they refuse to get money from the older family members and ther will be prayinyd in a big group
What happened to your fingers?
Hello Shogo! Love your videos!
It’s sad to loose culture. It may be easy to send a text, but the thought is a beautiful gift to put that time aside for special people and send a postcard. Character.
What about eating soba noodles? Is that a regional thing?
Interesting. My family is from Okinawa. We always eat nishime and adzuki beans for luck at Shogatsu.
You wished for 10.000 by July i say 100.000 by july...or even more! Thank you for your content. ありがとうございました😊
really hope that one day will have the opportunity to celebrate a traditional Japanese New Year
For gift wrapping paper, I just get some free extra paper bags (made out of 100% recycled paper) at my grocery store. Then me and my children, deconstruct, paint and decorate them. It's a fun holiday craft and my kids love personalizing each family members gift wrap.
I’ve been watching this video for so many times n it’s very informative, Arigatou gozaimasu! From pinay living in yokohama
Wow Shogo San, you've gained over 2,000 subscriber's since your live stream so cool 😎
Helpful info. Even living in Japan and asking my Japanese friends about the specifics they be like "dunno, just a decoration". Learnt from a 15 min video more than from living in Japan for 4 years :/

😂😂😂😂😂😂We celebrated new year During 14 or 15 april according to Solar calendar

13:27 lol I can relate to. It's a very Asian thing . Same in Myanmar as well. xD
13:16
i know i cant make request, what is Japanese politics like and How do Prefectures play a role in this system?
I saw many of this things in an episode from a tokusatsu show called Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger. I found it very interesting...
Nice channel! very well produced videos for a starting channel.
Maybe it could help having some background music.
Also, I would be much interested in new year's eve games and activities.
Keep up the good work!
man i love your videos so much even though traveling to japan might be very expensive for myself
Thank you for this! Im not japanese but my dad lived in Japan for a number of years before I was born and always speaks highly of his time there. He met a lovely lady there and they became pregnant but sadly the baby didnt survive birth.
I've always had an affinity towards japanese culture and am doing new years things from the culture this year to honor my half sibling.
I really appreciate it!
So that "10,000 subscribers by July 2021" goal was smashed early. What's the new goal?
