I visited my grandma in Asakusa in Japan during July this year, it's actually hell, I thought I would survive the heat since I lived in the Philippines I DID NOT IT'S AS BAD I WAS SWEATING THE WHOLE TIME
Me sitting here sweating bc I visited in the summer of 2019 and loved it🥲👍 To be fair though it was still swampy hell but easily one of the best trips of my life.
3:44 yes, you were 100% experiencing heat exhaustion, and if there was no nearby help, i would call that narrowly avoiding heat stroke. if you get to the point of dizzy from the heat, that is to be treated as a medical emergency. immediately seek shade and water. Japan being Japan, you probably would've been helped, but it's easier to avoid an incident altogether.
There's a lot of personal fans for air circulation, and there's even jackets with built-in fans if you give zero fucks or are working outside. They also sell a LOOOT of water, some frozen ones in the combini too.
@@emilynam6084 The exact same way as everywhere else that is hot. Stay hydrated, use umbrellas to avoid walking under the sun, use personal fans, get some ice cream or cold drinks every now and then, etc.
I really hate summers no matter where I am in the world. I hate having a sweaty back. Immediately sweating after getting out of the shower. The pictures you drew at 4:46 perfectly describes my mood in summer.
@@Worm.soup666 I went to Ireland this summer. Outdoors were beautiful, but the indoors were hell on earth due to no AC and large unshaded clear glass windows that opened only a crack
I like the type of weather that when the sun hits you it actually feels good . I like the cold nights , leave my bedroom window open a bit all winter . It’s summer time when I stay barricaded in the house looking out the window thinking “ ooohh , that just looks terrible out there “
When people from Japan prefer traveling to places like Hawaii or FLORIDA than stick around in Japan during the summer, then you KNOW their summers are BAD. 😂
As someone who lives in Florida, reading this after watching the video, I'm just thinking "Why would you all want to come here for the summer? It's all the same thing, just replace typhoons with hurricanes and a butt-ton more rain in general."
@@blitzwing_sm9177screw the Floridan winters. Went there for vacation one year during Christmas week, no snow just humid wind and I was seeing people wearing heavy coats and long sleeves everywhere. Are y'all alright, you guys even see the snow, your winter is just autumn deluxe
Admittedly, I’d like to live in Japan again just because for about a month I lost 20lbs naturally because of how disturbingly humid and hot the country was 🤣 karrage and local foods were awesome.
How humidity and hot are related to calories burn? Your sweating is not caused by calories burning from hot and weather but consistent walking in Japan
I watched her since I was 16 and I‘m 23 now. She makes me feel old sometimes too when I rewatch her older stuff and she’s like „21 year old me“. I always saw her as that older sister type, but when she started out, she was younger than I am now.

As someone who grew up in the 40+ degree celsius summers of tropical Australia, my strat was just to never leave my house. Kids I knew would get heat stroke all the time, it was a common occurence. No way I'm risking that heat and I've heard Japan's summers are very similar, best of luck but luckily it's coming into Autumn for you guys!
Un like Australia, at least Japanese summers stay in summer. We had a couple of days of summer heat *in winter* this year. December through February is going to be death.
People who love summer don’t understand us summer haters 😭 in the winter you can always add more layers. In the summer you can only get so naked. And even then you’d get sunburned. Also bed is cozy in the winter 🥹
Its weird how much i can relate to this after having visited japan during summer break and constantly having to refill my energy at malls and small convenience stores like they were rpg resting places because trying to walk anywhere nearly killed me
0:43 It is obvious that person has never experienced East Asian(Korean & Japanese) summers. The combination of sauna level humidity and Texan levels of heat makes you sweat buckets while you desperately seek water; it’s a vicious cycle no one can escape from without the help of air conditioning.
To be fair, "Texan" level of heat is generally caused by sauna levels of humidity. 90 degrees f in Las Vegas is doable; in Houston its sweltering. I stepped off the plane in Tokyo and it literally felt like Houston during the worst parts of Summer. You'd be drenched in sweat just in the time it took for the bus to show up.
I live in a place with 10% more humidity and a 20f higher average temp than japan and i wear sweaters beanies and usually more than two layers personally texas is and has been many times, light work for me
Well, if you've lived in a hot place for long enough, you get used to it so it won't feel as hot for somebody that has lived there for years, meanwhile a person from Greenland or something is hardly able to breath as soon as they get out of the airport
@@CreepyBlackDudeyep Houston here and I can confirm lol at least in Houston we can go inside stores, restaurants, and other places to get a nice blast of AC. In Japan tho it feels like the AC is barely turned on it gets so hot inside places there 😭
4:11 Emiru, long sleeves in the summer are usually worn to protect against the sun, some long sleeve shirts even have tech in them to stop UV rays. In fact, wearing loose fitting long sleeves will help you stay cooler in high heat situations. Note high humidity requires different things.
Emily starting off the video hot with the truth lol. I want to visit Japan, but from everything I heard, Summer there is so hot that I want to see it in Winter instead.
@@PowerSpirit50it’s still worth it especially if you avoid seeing them in Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto. I stayed in Tokyo and took day trips via bullet train to Kanazawa, Chichibu, and Fukushima City. Kanazawa was somewhat busy but no where as bad as those common 3 tourists spots. However in Chichibu and Fukushima City I was the only tourist I saw when I went everyone else was just locals. Only thing I don’t like about spring is how expensive flights/hotels are I prefer November for sure it’s so cheap. I fly out from Texas to California and then to Japan. Flight and hotel end up costing less than $1500. You just have to pick Monday-Thursday for your flights and play around with the dates!
@@amyartlover imo cherry blossoms are pretty but not worth the crowds which make everything else no fun, so unless your going just for cherry blossoms... Nah. Just my opinion though. Where I grew up cherry blossoms where a pretty common landscaping decoration so to me it's the same but a lot more of them. Plus there so many other things to see and do on Japan.
@Steve-xo5pq that's true I guess. I'm just saying it's better for people who don't like the heat. I go back to Japan almost every year to see family and the summers are always unbearable.
Honey, you are spot on with humidity. I loved Japan and visited it twice, both in summer. Beautiful time, wonderful trip. Felt like a walking steamed broccoli for several days. I mean, worth it, but point still stands. I recall it was typhoon season and there was some serious rain a day if not a few days, but I recall still having a good time those days.
As a Floridian, the summer or heck even autumn heat can just drain me of all the motivation, energy, and comfort I have for the next couple of hours after sitting there for like 30 to 40 minutes and if Japanese summers are worse I’M NOT SURE HOW TO THINK OF THAT!? I MEAN IT’S WORSE! 𝙒𝙊𝙍𝙎𝙀!!
honestly this video spoke to me on a spiritual level. Having lived both in a tropical swamp and a temperate steppe(near one of the hotest deserts on the earth), I can say confidently that the dry desert heat is usually easier to tank than even the winters in the tropics
I've lived worse summers in India but one thing that makes summers worse in Japan is the FACT THAT THERE ARE NO CEILING FANS ANYWHERE. 35° AND NO AIR CIRCULATION.
@@KuroRyuu86 electricity bill my dude and also 35° isn't ac weather in India. Never turned the AC on India until we hit 38-40°. Also standing fans aren't there in most places either
I studied for a year in Japan during university. The summer was indeed the worst season, mostly because of the humidity. The heat was manageable but it was so damn humid my winter jacket, which had been unused for several months and spent the entire summer hanging freely over the back of a chair (because I didn't have enough room in the tiny wardrobe of the student room to fit it in) ended up covered in mold!! _It was hanging freely, with as much air circulation as possible, and it got covered in mold in less than a month!!!_ Winter was absolutely amazing though. Much more snow than I'm used to and the skiing up in the mountains (with attached Ryokan) was extraordinary!
I studied in Japan over the summer and it was customary to have a mini fan and a towel everywhere I went. I probably bought several hundreds of vending machine waters and sodas just to try and combat the heat. I loved living there and can't wait to be back but oh my gosh, avoid the summer if you can folks, it is every bit as bad as they say.
I just finished a month-long Japan trip in September and coming from an Australian who is used to some of the hottest summers on Earth... JAPANESE HUMIDITY IS INSANE! I've never had to shower 3 times in a day before and everywhere was just so exhausting. Going to Gion in Kyoto and seeing so many people on the brink of heatstroke was not a fun sight. If you're indoors most of the time then it's pretty managable but if you're a tourist, you're likely exploring in the heat. July to September are now no-go zones for my return trips to Japan hahahaha
As someone is is Filipino who lives in California where it can reach 3 digits on most summer days Philippines summer is another beast cause of the humidity. Dry air is nothing compared to humid air 😅
My group of high school friends booked a Japan trip for our graduation during the summer. We got rained out while in Kyoto so we couldn’t go visit that temple on the cliff side but thankfully there was a covered street 5 min walk away from where we were staying so that worked. As a vancouverite, when I see rain, it’s improvise, adapt, overcome
I live in the south too and just got back from 2 weeks in tokyo...dont underestimate the heat. In america we're in our air conditioned cars or stores or houses. In japan youre typically on foot or on public transport and the ac there is pretty weak in comparison Dont let it discourage you from going though! I had an amazing time! (Just hella sweaty)
Just because you think you can endure it doesn't mean you should do it anyways. I'm born and raised in hot & sticky Miami so I thought the same as you. It completely killed my enjoyment. I did around 20k steps a day and it was miserable. It literally feels like you're swimming through the air when you walk, that's how humid it is. This time around, I'm happily going in mid-March through early April.
@@thecannabistreatment7236 I've literally described Washington humidity the same way. Maybe I'd have a higher tolerance for Japanese humidity. Then again, I grew up with Washington humidity, and I still hated it.
@@thecannabistreatment7236 That's why you have to pace yourself. I live in florida too, and because of health issues I can't handle the heat and humidity here well at all; I'm very susceptible to heat stroke and getting sick from the heat in general. Despite that though my family LOVES to drag me on trips to tampa and orlando for theme parks because they have yearly passes. That shit SUCKS.. Bit it's a thing we do yearly, as a big family thing, so I usually can't get out of it. It's become much easier to deal with when I pace myself. At times that literally means me sitting inside a resturaunt or bathroom for half an hour while the rest of my family goes and has fun. That same concept can be applied anywhere. You don't have to torture yourself in the heat and then tell others they can't handle it just because you chose to not be smart about it :/
Ngl sounds like Houston during the summer time she even nailed hurricane season throwing a wrench into everything. 😅 same pain different parts of the world
as someone who lives in florida, i can say that heat and humidity together are no joke although it does get a lot hotter here i can see how japan in summer would be super rough
I arrived the beginning of september for school and wore sweatpants and a long sleeved shirt… arriving at the tokyo airport i was DRENCHED IN SWEAT AND LOOKED LIKED A BAKED SOGGY SAUSAGE😭
THANK YOU!!! As a Japanese person, Summer here are so awful I just want to hide in my house all day lol It’s like Florida’s hottest days for 2 months (July to September)
I’ve been in Texas for 19 years of existence and still haven’t gotten used to that heat and humidity… I can only imagine Japan because it’s right next to the sea lol
It just depends on which part of Texas you live in because Texas is an Ecotone (many different biomes in a State) which parts are Woods, Grasslands, and a Desert which that last one I can understand
Being more irritable in hot weather is so relatable, anyone on the tennis team can testify that if it's hot out and I don't have my water or forgot my change of clothes, I will be crashing out through all of practice. Though I will point out I'm also the guy who will do better than usual in tennis when wearing a thin sweater and sweatpants in average weather, instead of shorts and a t-shirt.
As a person that lived in japan my whole life. I can agree that summer can be really hot, but I find it fun to go to a beach. (After pandemic LOL) But hey, we're approaching winter. just a warning, enjoying nature in winter is not much of a choice 😅 Otherwise, Y'all enjoy the time in Japan and have a great day
Today I learned people hate summer. Like genuinely can’t stand the heat, and that makes me sad. There’s something so charming about late night outdoor barbecues lit up by torches and/or string lights, starry skies, and the sound of music and chatting loved ones. Trays of sweet fruit too. Also fireflies, flashing in the trees, bushes, and grass and little me would chase them. I miss those moments and look forward to getting to create them in the future.
As a major summer girl: yeah, heat stroke is no joke and that sounds like beginning heat stroke for sure. You did right. Stay hydrated yxll (and long loose light fabrics are great for keeping the sun off your skin while letting you breathe)
I know everyone has their own experience, but this makes me kinda want to visit Japan in the summer. I live in Nebraska, where July days are usually 35C and humidity is at 95%, and those days are always my favorite. I start feeling cold around 24C, 27C if there's no wind
I hate humidity… I hate it when it’s 40%… I definitely hate when it’s 120%… humidity sucks. Edited: sounds like you were experiencing “heat exhaustion” which is a very close prior step to heat stroke if not treated immediately. So you did the right thing.
3:50 this is actually on of the reasons why I love summer, I know it's crazy and maybe it's because I grew up in the Middle East where it was hot all the time, but for some reason sweat just makes me feel alive like it reminds me I'm a breathing human being and I like that feeling idk it's hard to explain.
You don't understand what hot weather is if you never went to bed and wet the whole bed with your sweat, it's not possible to even fall asleep at that point 💀
I'm Japanese. It's true that summers in Japan are too hot. It used to not be as hot as it is now, but recent summers seem to be a scorching hell. According to the Japan Meteorological Agency, the temperature in the seas around Japan is rising at a higher rate than the world average due to global warming. Furthermore, this year, the El Nino phenomenon, which lasted until spring, caused temperatures in the mid-latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere to rise considerably higher. Over the past few decades, the distribution areas of insects and plants seem to have changed due to global warming. In addition, rice shortages are becoming more serious due to the visitation of extreme heat every year. I fear that if this trend continues, Japan's natural environment will change drastically.
Amen Sister. I melt in Canadian summers. Japan would kill me. From your description you had mild heatstroke. It's not just dehydration with a cognitive impact like that. When I got heatstroke I was working a grill and stopped remembering what I did 1 second ago and felt very light-headed, so had to step away. You made to right move stopping and going into somewhere with ac.
I'm traveling to Japan on a group trip, and when booking the trip the group had scheduled the trip so I had the choice to pick either a trip for the spring or fall season (I ended up picking the fall season trip). Now I know they picked those seasons for a GOOD reason.
Hey you want to swap weathers, it’s constantly wet and raining in my stupid country and NOT having freaking wet socks nearly every day would be an amazing change
I'm melting! I'm melting! - Emirichu in the summer probably Joking aside I get what you mean about summers in Japan. Spending some summers in Chigasaki could be quite exhausting, but visiting dad's parents in Hokkaido later on in the summer was always a plus.
Bruh after sweating like I've never sweated before and possibly experiencing heat exhaustion for the first time in Michelle's first Art Journey group, if September is the end of Japan's summer I don't want to even perceive PEAK summer 💀 Hope the weather cooled down at least a little bit for your group! Was relieved to see you guys got to experience best guide Eric too 🙏 Hope you had as much fun if not more than we did!
I live in Texas and it’s so fricking humid. IM ALWAYS PISSED FROM THE TEXAS HEAT! And that’s why I love winter since snow is like seeing a mythical creature in Texas :D
Tell me about it. When I got back to HK in winter for the first time since summer 2 years ago, I STILL had to wear short sleeves IN WINTER there. What has the US done to my body to make me so weak...
1st thing....Love your anime lookalike artsyle. AND 2nd, I am one of the rare "better humans" that can rezist heat pretty well. Put me in 45 Celcius and im not gonna feel anything
As a Californian born from El Salvadorian family, the heat during the summer can be intense in both the state and my family’s home country, so I understand hating the heat.
As someone living in korea, it felt like this year's summer in this region(East Asia) was much more hotter than previous years. It felt much more hotter because it was more humid. I never stopped sweating this year.
Awesome video as always Emirichu. I always look forward to watching your videos there always so fun to watch and most of the time is good for a good laugh.
Maybe your summer isn’t as hot as where we live, I live in California where the summer heat is unbearable, the sun is beating down all the time. Despite that, I actually do like summer too.
Cuz other seasons don't have Summer as the only break from nine month long seasonal depression, they get sunlight the rest of the year .. Also our summer temps are winter temps in other places lmao
Visted my grandparents in Shanghai during the summer and it is like hell. Not only is it hot, it is also SUPER humid. If you STAND outside IN THE SHADE for 5 minutes, you will be sweating a lot.
I went to Japan in the summer in 2010. I sweated constantly every hour of the day. I was literally drenched in sweat no matter what I did indoors or outdoors.
Honestly I like hot weather. For one reason. I've lived in it for years and coming to the UK just contrasts hot weather for me in India (it's freezing here and I'm wearing a snood every winter hahaha).

honestly this video spoke to me on a spiritual level.
Having lived both in a tropical swamp and a temperate steppe(near one of the hotest deserts on the earth), I can say confidently that the dry desert heat is usually easier to tank than even the winters in the tropics
As the saying goes;
"By rain or by sweat, anyway you're gonna get wet"
I've lived worse summers in India but one thing that makes summers worse in Japan is the FACT THAT THERE ARE NO CEILING FANS ANYWHERE. 35° AND NO AIR CIRCULATION.
Pretty sure AC trumps ceiling fans and they are rather ubiquitous in Japan.
depends, if they aren't turned on and at a comfortable temp (23-24c) then they might as well be nothing@MaheerKibria
Such an indian answer xD. Aircon my dude and if your saving power, a standing fan is the more logical answer.
Every year in India summer is becoming worse than the last summer.
@@KuroRyuu86 electricity bill my dude and also 35° isn't ac weather in India. Never turned the AC on India until we hit 38-40°. Also standing fans aren't there in most places either
I studied for a year in Japan during university. The summer was indeed the worst season, mostly because of the humidity. The heat was manageable but it was so damn humid my winter jacket, which had been unused for several months and spent the entire summer hanging freely over the back of a chair (because I didn't have enough room in the tiny wardrobe of the student room to fit it in) ended up covered in mold!! _It was hanging freely, with as much air circulation as possible, and it got covered in mold in less than a month!!!_
Winter was absolutely amazing though. Much more snow than I'm used to and the skiing up in the mountains (with attached Ryokan) was extraordinary!
I studied in Japan over the summer and it was customary to have a mini fan and a towel everywhere I went. I probably bought several hundreds of vending machine waters and sodas just to try and combat the heat. I loved living there and can't wait to be back but oh my gosh, avoid the summer if you can folks, it is every bit as bad as they say.
Same here I live in Australia and where I live crap goes both way. In the summer🥵😵. In the winter🥶😵
Oh go
How cold does it get in winter?
@@mrcaboosevg6089freezing
Very cold
@@KawaiiGirl1-i4o It's relative
I just finished a month-long Japan trip in September and coming from an Australian who is used to some of the hottest summers on Earth...
JAPANESE HUMIDITY IS INSANE!
I've never had to shower 3 times in a day before and everywhere was just so exhausting. Going to Gion in Kyoto and seeing so many people on the brink of heatstroke was not a fun sight. If you're indoors most of the time then it's pretty managable but if you're a tourist, you're likely exploring in the heat. July to September are now no-go zones for my return trips to Japan hahahaha
Meanwhile summer in Philippines with average temperature of at least 40 degrees Celsius, 95% humidity and still drinking hot coffee.
it feels like 40 but its 27-30 is average but wth does it rain and its still so hot or it will so sunny after rain
Translate to freedom pls
@@Blabbyfish 27c or 80f
30c or 86f
As someone is is Filipino who lives in California where it can reach 3 digits on most summer days Philippines summer is another beast cause of the humidity. Dry air is nothing compared to humid air 😅
then we crave ice cream, when its cold and rainy
My group of high school friends booked a Japan trip for our graduation during the summer. We got rained out while in Kyoto so we couldn’t go visit that temple on the cliff side but thankfully there was a covered street 5 min walk away from where we were staying so that worked.
As a vancouverite, when I see rain, it’s improvise, adapt, overcome
I was thinking of going to celebrate me graduating, but I grew up in the south, so satan’s armpit is nothing to me
I live in the south too and just got back from 2 weeks in tokyo...dont underestimate the heat. In america we're in our air conditioned cars or stores or houses. In japan youre typically on foot or on public transport and the ac there is pretty weak in comparison
Dont let it discourage you from going though! I had an amazing time! (Just hella sweaty)
Just because you think you can endure it doesn't mean you should do it anyways. I'm born and raised in hot & sticky Miami so I thought the same as you. It completely killed my enjoyment. I did around 20k steps a day and it was miserable. It literally feels like you're swimming through the air when you walk, that's how humid it is. This time around, I'm happily going in mid-March through early April.
@@thecannabistreatment7236kinda sounds like Georgia
@@thecannabistreatment7236 I've literally described Washington humidity the same way. Maybe I'd have a higher tolerance for Japanese humidity. Then again, I grew up with Washington humidity, and I still hated it.
@@thecannabistreatment7236 That's why you have to pace yourself. I live in florida too, and because of health issues I can't handle the heat and humidity here well at all; I'm very susceptible to heat stroke and getting sick from the heat in general. Despite that though my family LOVES to drag me on trips to tampa and orlando for theme parks because they have yearly passes. That shit SUCKS.. Bit it's a thing we do yearly, as a big family thing, so I usually can't get out of it. It's become much easier to deal with when I pace myself. At times that literally means me sitting inside a resturaunt or bathroom for half an hour while the rest of my family goes and has fun.
That same concept can be applied anywhere. You don't have to torture yourself in the heat and then tell others they can't handle it just because you chose to not be smart about it :/
Ngl sounds like Houston during the summer time she even nailed hurricane season throwing a wrench into everything. 😅 same pain different parts of the world
as someone who lives in florida, i can say that heat and humidity together are no joke although it does get a lot hotter here i can see how japan in summer would be super rough
I arrived the beginning of september for school and wore sweatpants and a long sleeved shirt… arriving at the tokyo airport i was DRENCHED IN SWEAT AND LOOKED LIKED A BAKED SOGGY SAUSAGE😭
Love hearing from your adventures! And Bear it girl! Plenty of Japanese frozen mochi should do the trick😊😊😊😊
In Georgia it's usally hot until late October early November
I just had mochi ice cream for the first time last week, randomly found it in a loblaws
PLEASE make a video or a short about the one piece cafe!!!! I’m a huge one piece fan and I’m really curious about the food there!!! Love your videos ❤
Wow, Japan's summer sounds like what we have here in the Philippines. . .
*year round*
can they drink piping hot Kape in the middle of the afternoon?
Good lord
@@aldrich_leon8547LMAO
We have the hardcore mode all along in the Philippines 😂
Atleast its a bit colder in december nights 😭
It's nowhere near as bad as Emily makes it out to be if you're from anywhere in SEA, including every pinoy 😂
Sorry to hear you're boiling. Suggestion: Eat many kakigori and parfaits! 😋😋😋😋
THANK YOU!!! As a Japanese person, Summer here are so awful I just want to hide in my house all day lol
It’s like Florida’s hottest days for 2 months (July to September)
3:18 When the Popeyes biscuits you ate kick in.
I’ve been in Texas for 19 years of existence and still haven’t gotten used to that heat and humidity… I can only imagine Japan because it’s right next to the sea lol
As a lifelong Louisiana resident, I might be just fine in Japan. Granted, I have been inside cold areas most of the summer due to my job 😅.
It just depends on which part of Texas you live in because Texas is an Ecotone (many different biomes in a State) which parts are Woods, Grasslands, and a Desert which that last one I can understand
Being more irritable in hot weather is so relatable, anyone on the tennis team can testify that if it's hot out and I don't have my water or forgot my change of clothes, I will be crashing out through all of practice. Though I will point out I'm also the guy who will do better than usual in tennis when wearing a thin sweater and sweatpants in average weather, instead of shorts and a t-shirt.
I got the back of my head featured in a video! it's a dream come true!! 😭 1:19
Congratulations! You made it to the big time!
@@JesseDCrespo I would like to thank my parents and the Academy...
5:31 THAT WAS YOU!?!!?!? I just randomly found your channel without knowing lol
As a person that lived in japan my whole life.
I can agree that summer can be really hot, but I find it fun to go to a beach. (After pandemic LOL)
But hey, we're approaching winter.
just a warning, enjoying nature in winter is not much of a choice 😅
Otherwise, Y'all enjoy the time in Japan and have a great day
South asians and south east asians drinking tea and coffee at 45°C seeing this and thinking.... Interesting 🤔🤔🤔
brazillians too hahaha
Egyptians too 😂
She is purely pissed at that Typhoon messing up her plans and that's all this video is for 😭
Today I learned people hate summer. Like genuinely can’t stand the heat, and that makes me sad. There’s something so charming about late night outdoor barbecues lit up by torches and/or string lights, starry skies, and the sound of music and chatting loved ones. Trays of sweet fruit too. Also fireflies, flashing in the trees, bushes, and grass and little me would chase them. I miss those moments and look forward to getting to create them in the future.
Wow I love you videos Emirichu and I will make sure in the future to not go to Japan in the summer . Hope Japan is going ok for you Emirichu
As a major summer girl: yeah, heat stroke is no joke and that sounds like beginning heat stroke for sure. You did right.
Stay hydrated yxll
(and long loose light fabrics are great for keeping the sun off your skin while letting you breathe)
I know everyone has their own experience, but this makes me kinda want to visit Japan in the summer. I live in Nebraska, where July days are usually 35C and humidity is at 95%, and those days are always my favorite. I start feeling cold around 24C, 27C if there's no wind
So Emirichu thinks it’s less humiliating to put her face in a freezer in a public store than passing out in the middle of the public street
Is that the Connor three drink method 1:21
This video made myself begin to sweat and for that I blame you. Florida summer too is hell
I hate humidity… I hate it when it’s 40%… I definitely hate when it’s 120%… humidity sucks.
Edited: sounds like you were experiencing “heat exhaustion” which is a very close prior step to heat stroke if not treated immediately. So you did the right thing.
Italy Is the same ☹️ IT'S OCTOBER AND IT'S STILL HOT 😭
I hit October 4 hours ago shush
It's October already?! I swear I just celebrated Christmas last month. And yeah, Texas is the same. We are still getting 90°f+ weather
....zio è il 30 settembre ancora
Buddy, you ain’t ever seen south side of Texas , raging heat and it’s humid 24/7
@Lawn_Clippings29 average winter in the Sunshine State, I swear Floridians never get weather under 90
المشكلة تكمن في الرطبة بحيث تقوم بسد المسامات العرقية وبالتالي عدم القدرة على التعرق
3:50 this is actually on of the reasons why I love summer, I know it's crazy and maybe it's because I grew up in the Middle East where it was hot all the time, but for some reason sweat just makes me feel alive like it reminds me I'm a breathing human being and I like that feeling idk it's hard to explain.
another middle eastern 🗣️🗣️
I agree.
I like summer mostly cuz it’s humid and it’s less hot when it’s humid
You don't understand what hot weather is if you never went to bed and wet the whole bed with your sweat, it's not possible to even fall asleep at that point 💀
I'm Japanese. It's true that summers in Japan are too hot.
It used to not be as hot as it is now, but recent summers seem to be a scorching hell.
According to the Japan Meteorological Agency, the temperature in the seas around Japan is rising at a higher rate than the world average due to global warming.
Furthermore, this year, the El Nino phenomenon, which lasted until spring, caused temperatures in the mid-latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere to rise considerably higher.
Over the past few decades, the distribution areas of insects and plants seem to have changed due to global warming.
In addition, rice shortages are becoming more serious due to the visitation of extreme heat every year.
I fear that if this trend continues, Japan's natural environment will change drastically.
Amen Sister. I melt in Canadian summers. Japan would kill me.
From your description you had mild heatstroke. It's not just dehydration with a cognitive impact like that. When I got heatstroke I was working a grill and stopped remembering what I did 1 second ago and felt very light-headed, so had to step away. You made to right move stopping and going into somewhere with ac.
3:26 how could you put the yamcha pose in your video and expect me not to laugh. Cause i did 😂😂.
I'm traveling to Japan on a group trip, and when booking the trip the group had scheduled the trip so I had the choice to pick either a trip for the spring or fall season (I ended up picking the fall season trip). Now I know they picked those seasons for a GOOD reason.
Hey you want to swap weathers, it’s constantly wet and raining in my stupid country and NOT having freaking wet socks nearly every day would be an amazing change
I'm melting! I'm melting! - Emirichu in the summer probably
Joking aside I get what you mean about summers in Japan. Spending some summers in Chigasaki could be quite exhausting, but visiting dad's parents in Hokkaido later on in the summer was always a plus.
4:50 can totally relate. took a trip to rome during summer, and it was miserable. bring water everywhere, and god be merciful to you if you forget!
Bruh after sweating like I've never sweated before and possibly experiencing heat exhaustion for the first time in Michelle's first Art Journey group, if September is the end of Japan's summer I don't want to even perceive PEAK summer 💀 Hope the weather cooled down at least a little bit for your group! Was relieved to see you guys got to experience best guide Eric too 🙏 Hope you had as much fun if not more than we did!
I love you, Emirichu!!! Also, A hello and love from Malaysia!
It's Gacha Rain season baby, is it gonna rain or hot all day? You'll never know .
Cmon at rain at night, it's hot in Selangor 😢

Emily: Summer in Japan is the worst!
Me with demonic eyes: *Go to Hong Kong.*
(We get like 35+ at least and it’s extremely hellish)
YESS GO TO *HK NOW* 😈
SIngapore is hot year round 💀
Malaysia too 💀💀💀 but I agree Hong Kong had the huge leap from mall air conditioners and scorching sun the moment u step out
Tell me about it. When I got back to HK in winter for the first time since summer 2 years ago, I STILL had to wear short sleeves IN WINTER there. What has the US done to my body to make me so weak...
Pakistan and Australia are terrible as well.
1st thing....Love your anime lookalike artsyle. AND 2nd, I am one of the rare "better humans" that can rezist heat pretty well. Put me in 45 Celcius and im not gonna feel anything
my limit is a good 39-40. im more of a cold blooded guy, i can go all the way to a -5 or less
give me your genes, oh that doesn't sound right-
But can you resist humid heat?
@@beezyo3042 not as much as regular heat. I can go like 35 38 Celcius. 40 and above is death
@@CristianCMB i wish I could tolerate that much. Our summers are so humid I'd die without air Conditioning.
I remember going to japan during and the winds SNAPPED the umbrella
As a Californian born from El Salvadorian family, the heat during the summer can be intense in both the state and my family’s home country, so I understand hating the heat.
3:01 bro any one frome the back ur flashing so pro tip emms don't bike in a skirt (trust me ppl will take photo of u don't do this to urself )
Or a skirt long enough so that you sit on it.
See! The bicycle looks just fine! 😂
Awesome to see the final product that you were working on during the trip!
I want to move to Japan in a few years. I plan to live in Tohoku or Hokkaido because I'm a polar bear and can't stand heat!
Hokkaido can get crazy hot summers too. There was a day a year ago when Sapporo was hotter than Tokyo somehow.
As someone living in korea, it felt like this year's summer in this region(East Asia) was much more hotter than previous years. It felt much more hotter because it was more humid. I never stopped sweating this year.
Awesome video as always Emirichu. I always look forward to watching your videos there always so fun to watch and most of the time is good for a good laugh.
Yeah no just not summer you'll get cooked here 😭🙏🏻
this is because you don't know summer in brazil 💀
fr i was melting in sakai city, there was a cold snap in the last few days though
7:49 no the morel is don’t drink for 3 days in a typhoon and jump out a window on the third floor while using your poncho as a parachute.
Why do people hate summer?😢 I live in Finland and summer is the only time it's warm
Maybe your summer isn’t as hot as where we live, I live in California where the summer heat is unbearable, the sun is beating down all the time. Despite that, I actually do like summer too.
Another finn here. Our summers are ridiculously cold compred to any other countries WINTER
I grew up in the desert. I come from a part of the world where the weather is hot and humid year round, except when it rains. I do not like summer.
Your summer is pretty mild
Cuz other seasons don't have Summer as the only break from nine month long seasonal depression, they get sunlight the rest of the year
..
Also our summer temps are winter temps in other places lmao
Hawaii is a nightmare as well in the summer.
I really wish I went to the mountains during my trip but the train didn't go that far. (YAY CRAZY SNOW.)
Visted my grandparents in Shanghai during the summer and it is like hell. Not only is it hot, it is also SUPER humid. If you STAND outside IN THE SHADE for 5 minutes, you will be sweating a lot.
