@@leadpaintchips9461Honestly, with the way streaming has been portrayed in Japan recently, I think this is probably the best way to go about it, especially for visiting a specific attraction like an aquarium.
Ah, the "Aquarium date", a staple of Japanese culture. Connor is a massive goof. The best part is definitely Mouse's squeal when Connor said they were going to the gift shop.
I've gotten a Japanese girl to go to an aquarium with me once, but I was still rejected after the fact. lol. I suspect it may be more of an anime thing.
I got the biggest smile when she said "I feel like I'm there!" She's right too, I visited an aquarium recently and Connor captured the experience perfectly. Honestly the only difference is there are no crowds blocking the view or children screaming lmao. HD streaming tech has improved so much, it's really amazing.
It's even more incredible when you consider water is an exceptional RF absorber. They have to be using the aquarium's wifi as their video backhaul. Their camera also has bonkers good dynamic range. Those jellyfish rooms are dark so you can see their glow, as are many of the habitats to avoid messing up the animals--yet the only thing the camera had trouble with was some autofocus lag in low-light.
Tbh I went to Japan this month and went to two Japanese aquariums (one in Tokyo and one in Okinawa) and the difference to western ones with the crowds was insane. A lot less screaming and no banging on glass lol. Didn't go to this one but sure will next time I get a chance to go to Tokyo
Connor really goes above and beyond as a friend for Mousey, he didn't need to "rent out" the ENTIRE AQUARIUM for a few hours... but he did to make sure that they'd be able to get "front row seats" to everything. Massive love to him for going the extra mile for this!
@@LifesNeverHumDrum He's a white man who speaks Japanese. That's rare. The staff could have been impressed simply because of that. He has a big online audience. He could have easily approached it from a promotional perspective. He has an "idol" friend who is bedridden. He could have played the sympathy card. He's an official Japanese voice actor. They're considered celebrities in Japan. It is entirely possible he managed to get early access to the aquarium for free when any/all of the above are used in combination.
@@LifesNeverHumDrumI wouldn't be sure. It's advertising for the aquarium and the places they visit. GeexPlus probably asks for the authorization and they would definitely be able to argue it's good advertisement.
To be more realistic, he asked if they could come in before actual opening hours. He didn't "rent out the entire aquarium." :P I'm sure he still had to pay a pretty penny for the opportunity though.
Connor gives Mousey the experiences of going outside and being with Connor despite her illnesses and disabilities no matter what, the effort he goes to just so she can live out dreams to her... Is BEYOND amazing, these two are something extremely special and deserve one another...

Professional Aquarist and Educated Marine Biologist Here! All jellies (“jellyfish” is inaccurate as they are not fish) can sting but only some of them have a sting powerful enough to harm or kill humans. Moon Jellies are extremely well known as their sting is very mild to where touching them will range from no effect at all to a slight itchy rash and discomfort. Those jelly tanks really show off their ethereal beauty but I can only imagine how annoying maintenance and water changes would be. They are quite delicate. Sea cucumbers don’t really do much but eat sand and algae all day, they don’t even have brains, but they can regurgitate their entire digestive system and regenerate a new one as a defense mechanism Mantis shrimp are quite cool and as Conner said, accelerate their punching claws so fast that the pressure alone cavitates (boils) the water at the tips. This allows them to crack open shells to get to their food. They do have fascinating vision and do see in wavelengths above and below the visible spectrum that we can’t, but they can’t see “new colors” that we can’t as the internet tends to believe. They just have 16 color cones compared to our 3 meaning they simply see more vibrant colors than we do. There is only ROYGBIV and hues between. Mantis shrimp don’t see more they just see better. What’s really fascinating about this aquarium from what I’ve seen, is since Japan is so seafood industry heavy and these fishermen are supplying the species for the aquarium, you are seeing some incredibly rare species here. I especially took note of how much deep sea animals they had on hand. The Ghost Shark isn’t actually a shark, just closely related. It’s a Chimaera or Rat Fish and they’re sort of the only surviving members of what sharks first speciated from. They’re still cartilaginous but weird in all manner of different ways and usually live in the mesopelagic or deeper. I’ve personally never seen a living one in person so Conner should feel very blessed. As you maybe sort of saw, many fish are masters of camouflage or in the case of deep sea fish, move as little as possible. This not only conserves energy in environments with very little food, but in a lot of cases to be easily detected is to be dead in the wild. Squid are rare to see in aquariums as if they get startled they will rocket off and hit the walls and get a wound called “bumper butt” and if they ink? That’s an annoying thing to fix Poison dart frogs in captivity actually aren’t poisonous! Poison dart frogs get their toxins from consuming specific poisonous bugs in their natural habitat which animal keepers don’t actually feed them of course. I actually have the huge isopod plush in that gift shop. I imported it for 80 dollars 😅
I am and will be forever grateful that Connor and Mouse found each other. I love the effort Connor puts in to bring even the slightest joy into Mouse's life. It truly helps soften this grizzled old man's heart.
Am so happy technology has come so far that IronMouse can go and see these places and attend events, legit these type of streams/vids are so pure and fun
getting this recommended after connor's video defending ironmouse and this is so cute! I'm glad I know the backstory because this friendship is now one of my favorite things
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't at least a little jealous of their friendship. Kinda crazy how a more or less chance meeting online led Connor to become such a strong friend to Mouse, make such an effort to show her the world since she can't go out and see it herself and dedicate so much time and effort raising money for a cause that helps people like her.
If Connor was to ever come to Texas, around the Houston/Gulf Coast area. He could take Ironmouse to a place called Moody Gardens in Galveston. They have 3 glass pyramids there. One is the Aquarium pyramid, the second is the rainforest pyramid, and the third one is the planetarium pyramid.

This video is making me cry. I'm just so happy for Ironmouse. It's just so awesome that she has a friend who would rent out a whole ass aquarium on the other side of the planet for her. I can't, it's so sweet.
I was just here! This is the Sunshine Aquarium in Ikebukoro - was a little pricey but worth it. There were kids/families on fields trips when I went so was a mostly wholesome experience. The Mega Tokyo Pokemon center is also here and a nice mall if you want to make a day of it!
@@hamishwalker9637 nothing. A. it's free commercial for the venue. B. he didn't forced people to not go to the aquarium, he just came before the aquarium opened to avoid problems during filming. Which people inside filming would be much more difficult.
16:34 fun fact: The penguins look like they're shivering, but they do that to increase their activity without burning too much calories and metabolize a hearty meal faster. 🥰
Pretty sure Moon Jellies and many others dont sting. Also, captive Dart Frogs arent poisonous because they dont eat the ants they use to make the poison, so they are harmless - tho to be safe they are handled with gloves if handled at all. Awesome visit video and aquarium!
Moon jellies actually can sting but only humans with sensitive skin can feel it. I know this because my brother got stung on an eczema patch and ended up with a moon jelly sized welt. He makes constant jokes about his sensitive baby skin now. But yeah, it totally can happen, especially for people who are young, elderly, or have a skin condition like eczema or healed burns or anything that makes the skin more reactive.
I only came to know mousey this year, as I'm stuck at home with health issues as well. and I'm just learning about Connor and who he is, and what he does for her and I've got to say, he's a real hero. I'm glad he's there for her.
I know Connor recorded the video natively as well, I wish we could see more footage from that because as HD as the stream was, the clips interspersed which showed just high quality the video recording is makes me want to see more, especially of the jellyfish room! This was an awesome stream, Connor is the GOAT for this. I know he still isn't the biggest fan of doing irl and no wonder they're so much work but it's worth it when it makes Mousey so happy.
love those edited versions! the full streams are super cute and chill but always a bit long, here you get so much of the wholesome vibe without the little pauses due to normal walking/interaction/organization, thank you!
it's quite a funny coincidence that the "ghost shark" is called "Havmus" in danish, which roughly translates to "Sea Mouse". So in the stream you see mouse see a sea mouse
For some reason, the Finnish name for one was "aavekärsäkuningas" which translates to ghost trunk/snout king. A simple "aavehai" (ghost shark) would have been enough.
oh my god this is the most wholesome thing I've ever seen. I just discovered Ironmouse from the Connor video. I didn't know about either of them until now and I can't believe I didn't discover this content sooner. Beginnings of a longtime viewer here
I feel like Connor didn't do this for stream, he did this for his best friend in the world. These two have the cutest friendship. He booked out a whole aquarium to make mouse happy.
Crazy how back then that felt so far fetched to me, but that's basically what's going on with these Connor streams. Technology has come such a long way.
This is like my favorite video on youtube now lol, just wholesome smiles throughout the whole thing!! Nature is amazing and animals are so cool, it was fun to learn about them!
Its so awesome that he helps her have these experiences she otherwise wouldnt be able to have. Their friendship is so wholesome and this video really made my day 💗
Just friends, something more, it doesnt even matter. Connor and ironmouse are everything for eachother man. I love them both so much. This makes me so happy i could actually cry
At this point I don't even care if they are/end up dating, their friendship is so heartwarming and sweet! I'm really happy Mousey has someone like Connor in her life, who seems to genuinely care about her. It's really nice to see :)) PS : My Animal Crossing senses are tingling SO HARD watching this. I'm curious to know if they have like.. "resting tanks" behind the display ones? Some of these displays are so bare and tiny...
As an Aquarist, I kept wanting to spout out random animal facts, and answer questions 🤦♀️ But damn, what a great aquarium! It looks like most of the animals were out too!
Awesome! I have been so sick with fevers the last few days and I just come out of delirium to IronMouse! Thank you for being such an amazing role model for all of us!
This brighten my day. Her genuine reaction is so cute! I recently heard of her story, and I just think it's heartwarming. I wish the best for Ironmouse!❤
videos like this just make me so incredibly happy. I want mouse to be able to take part in so many fantastic adventures, and seeing just how happy and in awe she is being able to visit the aquarium with her friend even tho they're miles and miles away, idk it's just something I can't really word super well, but it's really just so incredibly special :)
definitely on my list of possible places to go. i’m obsessed with marine life, so aquariums are my favourite exhibits to go to. and this one just seems so nice and unique, especially with the overhead platforms and lanes for the mammals and birds
10:17 talking about moon jellyfish I used to work in an aquarium and you can touch moon jellies without getting stung because they rarely sting things they just vibe really. If you do get stung it’s very mild close to a bee sting I’d say.
5:47 Yes. All jellyfish are venomous, including the common Moon Jelly, but this one and many others don't have enough power to penetrate human skin and cause harm. It's best to avoid touching them in general because allergies can trigger a harsh reaction even for jellyfish which are usually not so harmful.
Reading the sign on top, they apparently call the mantis shrimp 海のボクサー (umi-no-bokusā), meaning "boxer of the sea". Cool. But that's like a nickname. Their true designation is モンハナシャコ (mon-hanashako). It's made up of three parts: モン (mon), which I guess is short for "monster"; ハナ (hana), meaning "flower"; and シャコ (shako), meaning "japanese mantis shrimp", which is a grey/brown mantis shrimp.

This is like my favorite video on youtube now lol, just wholesome smiles throughout the whole thing!! Nature is amazing and animals are so cool, it was fun to learn about them!
Their friendship is so wholesome and endearing, the lengths Connor will go to help Mousey see the outside world is so touching.
Its so awesome that he helps her have these experiences she otherwise wouldnt be able to have. Their friendship is so wholesome and this video really made my day 💗
Connor's relationship with Ironmouse is so wholesome 😊❤
Just friends, something more, it doesnt even matter. Connor and ironmouse are everything for eachother man. I love them both so much. This makes me so happy i could actually cry
at 08:28 Connor doesn't even realize how close he was to becoming the Founding Titan
At this point I don't even care if they are/end up dating, their friendship is so heartwarming and sweet!
I'm really happy Mousey has someone like Connor in her life, who seems to genuinely care about her.
It's really nice to see :))
PS : My Animal Crossing senses are tingling SO HARD watching this. I'm curious to know if they have like.. "resting tanks" behind the display ones? Some of these displays are so bare and tiny...
Mouse is adorable. And she and Connor is a great due.
But my cat keeps looking over every time Mouse squee's into the unhearable spectrum xD
i've already seen the VOD so i will just say - Connor is a gigachad.
Connor taking Mousey on adventures is the serotonin i need
I have a new pic.
this is such a wholesome video, this is such a sweet thing to do for a friend
😭♥
The image quality is crazy. It's so awesome to see Ironmouse enjoy herself.
Damn... with a friend like that you could conquer the world! you guys are so lucky to have eachother :)
I need Connor to take Mouse to more aquariums because this was the most wholesome thing I've seen in my life.
As an Aquarist, I kept wanting to spout out random animal facts, and answer questions 🤦♀️
But damn, what a great aquarium! It looks like most of the animals were out too!
1:18, idk, seems kinda tiny for such a big crab. Just a little rectangle box in the wall?
My EXACT thought, the poor crab 😅
I wish there was a way we could find out if they have resting aquariums behind
Awesome! I have been so sick with fevers the last few days and I just come out of delirium to IronMouse! Thank you for being such an amazing role model for all of us!
Been reading the comments and every sick dude is flocking to this video for some reason including me
Yo I'm actually sick too while watching this 😂😂
the editing on this is just right; funny but not too invasive, and the cuts are perfect
Omg iron mouse is so bubbly and cute acting. Like seeing her so excited just made me happy. But id be excited too
juat learned about ironmouse's illness and literally cried a bit watching this
Same, I felt/feel extremely bad for her
After watching that video, videos like these became extremely sweet and wholesome to see
Okay, the seal sealed the deal. That Aquarium is WAY better than the one I went to in Osaka.
Now I wanna go there
Just hearing her pure joy is making me so happy knowing she couldn’t go to something like this if she wasn’t virtual
Shoutout to the editor, you guys are the unsung heroes of content creation and I appreciate y’all greatly!!!
I wish the crab had a bigger tank. Dude looked like he had nowhere to walk around :(
No enrichment either :/ hopefully it was new-ish and just like a temporary enclosure or something....
that cut when it showed connor as a monkey swimming literally made me almost choke on my beer with the super mario 64 music i love that game
This brighten my day. Her genuine reaction is so cute! I recently heard of her story, and I just think it's heartwarming. I wish the best for Ironmouse!❤
All right, the seals were the absolute highlight of this video for me personally. They're so intelligent!
Connors the best tour guide
videos like this just make me so incredibly happy. I want mouse to be able to take part in so many fantastic adventures, and seeing just how happy and in awe she is being able to visit the aquarium with her friend even tho they're miles and miles away, idk it's just something I can't really word super well, but it's really just so incredibly special :)
definitely on my list of possible places to go. i’m obsessed with marine life, so aquariums are my favourite exhibits to go to. and this one just seems so nice and unique, especially with the overhead platforms and lanes for the mammals and birds
I'm so happy Mouse got to tour an aquarium! Reminds me of how magical the aquarium date I had with my girlfriend was
10:17 talking about moon jellyfish I used to work in an aquarium and you can touch moon jellies without getting stung because they rarely sting things they just vibe really. If you do get stung it’s very mild close to a bee sting I’d say.
Connor is the friend that everybody wants to have. HAHAHAHAHAHA
Omg this editing and Connors jokes have me rolling on the floor. Great video ♡
5:47 Yes. All jellyfish are venomous, including the common Moon Jelly, but this one and many others don't have enough power to penetrate human skin and cause harm. It's best to avoid touching them in general because allergies can trigger a harsh reaction even for jellyfish which are usually not so harmful.
I love that Connor does these things for mouse. Awesome video and her reactions are wholesome as heck.
I feel like if all of us had at least 1 Connor in our lives, the world would be a better place.
My heart is so warm and full from this. Their friendship makes me so happy 🥲
Seal is living his best life, having his own obstacle and not having to worry about sharks and orcas.
This place looks so awesome! I'm so glad you got to enjoy it Mousey!
I love how conner calls Dragalge Kingdra 6:33
this man reservs a whole aquarium for a date. best man ever
This was seriously such a cool stream i love this so much the way people turn into children around animals so wholesome
I love how im recognizing a lot of these from playing and completing Dave the Diver
Reading the sign on top, they apparently call the mantis shrimp 海のボクサー (umi-no-bokusā), meaning "boxer of the sea". Cool.
But that's like a nickname. Their true designation is モンハナシャコ (mon-hanashako).
It's made up of three parts: モン (mon), which I guess is short for "monster"; ハナ (hana), meaning "flower"; and シャコ (shako), meaning "japanese mantis shrimp", which is a grey/brown mantis shrimp.
