This is really neat! I just moved out of a tiny upstate ny studio (smaller than what is shown here) and it was $600 a month! So small the shower wasn't even in the bathroom, I could cook and shower at the same time I I wanted to. Glad I moved!
Congratulations! In my country you invite someone for dinner to celebrate your new place. It could be your friends or SO, and it will bring you luck. Mirrors will make your space appear larger and will reflect light from that huge window too! Same in the bathroom.
Nice! That reminds me of a tradition here in Singapore, where companies buy other companies bouquets of flowers to celebrate the opening of an office or retail location.
Currently living in a 2 bedroom that is reasonably up to date (appliances made in the last 30 years) for $575 per month, with gas and water free. Electric is about $60 a month in the summer, in the winter it goes down a bit. (gas furnace)
no kidding, all the places I've been looking at in Austin are like 800+ to not be in a sketchy area. Gotta go to Austin for work so not much say so in that :/
I REALLY want to come to Japan. I’m in love with the culture. It is sooooo expensive to get there though. I don’t know if I’ll ever eat to go. I love just watching videos like this because Japan fascinated me. Keep up the good work!
If you pack it right you can fit a lot in a bag. I have a friend that asked me if my small backpack was a magic bag since I succeeded to have a lot of stuff in it! XD I have heard that women is better at backing then men. Not sure if it is true but it wouldn't surprise me since I get to do a lot of the backing when I am going to camp some days with one of my best friend that is male. :)
The one thing that japan definitely does better than anywhere else is simplicity. They basically make these 1 bedroom places with as little of everything as possible whilst still keeping it livable. Of course these aren't the kind of things people want to live in but they're so good for people on tight budgets who just want somewhere where they can just crash. Of course the drawbacks are that you can't live with other people and that some may find it claustrophobic and may struggle to fit everything they want in the apartment but overall they're so nice(just wish they were a thing elsewhere(other than university accommodation :P))
It isn't terrible, I mean you can get 3 bedroom houses for cheaper than that in Aus, but comparing these differences without taking exchange rates and economics in general into consideration is just redundant. Things are different in other countries, I'd still rather live in Tokyo.
Xhere是亜論月 Rongestzu I'd agree if it wasn't so small. $570 in every single apartment complex in my area can give you something 3x that size, and in some places a 2 bedroom. But then again, it's Japan
Fun to see how similar the 1K apartments are all over Japan, I recently moved out of my smaller place in Kyoto but I was getting some serious deja vu wathcing this video as it's almost exactly the same to a tee! Hope you can make it cozy and enjoy the place.
I'm actually surprised at the cost. I always thought an apartment in Tokyo was more expensive than 575USD. I pay 600USD for a room in Chicago! I feel like I'm getting screwed now.
Nice! I used to dream of living in a tiny apartment (but that was in my late childhood to early teenage years), but later, I started dreaming of living in some kind of rural area. I'm assuming that you would continue to go back to your previous place to move stuff over. 5:17 I won't be surprised if you bought that at a Daiso store, because I used to have one like that and it was also from one of those stores.
I remember when we went apartment hunting in Japan. We were moving from a guest house to a real place and some of them were just tiny. Found a really nice place in Shinagawa through UR. It was a 2DLK. For those not in the know this is a 2 bedroom with a Dining room, Living room and Kitchen. And the living room had a set of sliding doors on it which could be closed off to turn it into another bedroom if necessary. It was about 136K yen a month but between the two of us it was more than affordable based on what we were making. Appliances were gotten at Donki, managed to get a few cheap because they were floor models and we found a really nice dining room set at a second hand shop.
Whoa! I think you've just about beat me in electronics, blasted me out of the water. I thought it was crazy what I brought with me when I was young. Love this video and would love to see more!
Honestly, I wouldn't mind a house this small. I don't know why but I quite like the idea of just living in the space you need. Maybe it's because I've lived in big houses my whole life because of the number of siblings I have.
Congratulations! Moving to a new apartment myself during new year. :) Enjoy! Expensive for such a small place though, glad im only paying about half that for about twice the space. Not surprised its expensive to live in Tokyo though.
I'm living in a flat share and my room is basically about the size of your "living room" segment minus the wall cupboard of course. It's not the biggest place in the world for sure but you surely can live in a small place like this. Enjoy your new home!
You will not find Colgate toothpaste in Japan, I'm searching ocasionally since 2 years now and nothing. So I'm importing every 6 month few boxes for me and few my friends, the same is with colgate toothbrush. The Japanese ones are like for 5 years old kid.
フッ化 is the word for fluorination in Japan, plenty of toothpaste has it. クリアクリーン brand has it as "フッ化ナトリウム" Sodium Fluoride. I don't know why it's difficult to find in Japan. クリアクリーン is everywhere.
ignore them. Because for western/ non japanese, they are more into well known brand like colgate. These plebs will never able to enjoy the true stuff in japan. They had a lot of better toothpaste as well. Their loss for sticking to colgate lmfao
Congrats !! That's awesome. Thanks for sharing, btw. I've never seen one IRL (only ones depicted in anime). It was interesting to see the dimensions of the main room/closet/bathroom set up. I'm a minimalist and really like the size of that apartment (especially with the kind of lifestyle I live; mainly mobile tech & portable gaming). Congrats again, mate'. So begins a new leaf in your life ^^)b
I've always been curious about life in Japan as I've visited several times and have a friend who lives there as well! Hope you're enjoying your new apartment!
Yeah I'm 6,4 and my room In my house is about the size of this.... Yet I would LOVE this apartment waking up and having sunlight like that sounds amazing.
CONGRATS!!! It's a good thing the apartment has nice natural lighting! Use multi-functional furniture to maximize space usage~~~ Also....I'm amazed by how much you can fit in that backpack....
thanks for this, the rent in rands zar would be 7775.09, the apartment is really for skinny people :) those are a lot of things that the backpack can hold, i would carry just the macbook have a dual boot os setup either bootcamp or win2go via external ssd (instead of using gpd pocket), and have ankher battery pack with sufficient ports to charge the rest of the devices without having to have separate charging bricks. You could illuminate the apartment through the camera flash light or purchase candles unless there are regulations to not allow candles in the apartment, if you have a bedsheet you could use it as a temporary curtain with some hooks or pegs to keep it attached or some string knotted through or just wrapping curtains or some elastic band thanks for the vid :) it was really interesting to see :)
Randomly got a suggestion for this video from TH-cam, watched this video and decided to subscribe. I like how you attached you're portable storage, I've done the same thing.
Zapole - then you must life in eastern germany. Here in munic a single room would be more expensive than your four room appartement. You could not afford a appartement of your size with the sallary of just one person. Even then you would need to have a good salary.
Booking tickets in December going during August for 2 weeks, I've waited so long to visit Japan. Just hope I can find a decent size place to stay at. Thanks for the insight got a lot of Japanese practicing to do.
:( new york sucks ass. Similiar wage rates as everywhere else but the realestate prices are significantly higher. 1200 a month in new york can get you a piece of sh it apartment, somewhere else thats a mansion. Hopefully someday i can afford a place of my own...
St Louis isnt too bad, still not great. I live in the Burbs but its still at least 500 a month just to get a basic apartment in a complex maybe 2 bedroom 1 bath. Roomy places at least, for an apartment. Lucky for us theres not much city in Missouri, I plan on moving about 30 min out, depends on my pay in a couple years.
For 1,200 you can get a whole decent house for 2-3 rooms with a garden, front yard and/or a backyard here in my city in Indonesia. And that’s for one year rent price, not per month.
PaulsGoldWeapons Move out man! My fam moved out of that city after 9 years of paying for rising rents and moving from one apartment to another. I know it's hard to move out a great city like that but just move out! There's better cities out there than NY! Plus, property elsewhere is CHEAAAP (except California)
Thanks for the tour of your new apartment in Tokyo. I love the Colgate information. It's my favorite and I planned to bring a couple large tubes at least. :-)
congrats on your apartment, be glad your in japan, i didn't think id say this but over where im at over in seattle area oyur can get half that space, no washer or dryer for 900$ or best price for your size apartment for 1200$ its ludicrous! so im digging that apartment, i hope the move in goes well.
Sticking that mini hard drive on the back of your macbook is genius! All the best for the new apartment :D Would love to see another vid when you've got all your gear in.
It is cheap, one 18 m2 room in shared apartment in subsidized student dorm in Hamburg is almost 400€, but there are also some 12 m2 for 250€, with one kitchen of like 25 student
At least the apartment layout is good. In my country, the layout is awkward, though the rent is around $150 USD. For 500 USD, I'd get a 3 bedroom hall kitchen apartment at a good location.
In downtown San Diego, CA, US, a studio this size would cost at least $1000-1200 monthly to rent. So I don't really understand when people say living in Japan is expensive
Very cool! When I was a young adult, and lived in both NYC and also L.A., I would have been SO happy with a clean modern space like that. $575 USD a month? In NYC a tiny place like that would cost _at least_ $1500. That sounds really cheap. Enjoy your new place and thanks for this video!
Wah~ Looks so exciting! I'd love to move in into a smaller home where there is less shit to manage and you can grab anything you want within arm length.
I currently live in Los Angeles (moving next year) and a place like the one you have would be close to a thousand usd if not more. Very affordable where you are. I love that
Seems so weird that fluoride toothpaste isn't common in Japan, it's something people in the West take for granted. What toothpaste do they use then to brush their teeth with?
fouride toothpaste isn't actually healthy at all. floride does nothing good for your teeth and accumulates in your bodies bone structure. it does not coat or interact with your teath at all in your mouth. fluridized water in the u.s. is actually a cheap way to get rid of toxic waste. pretty much the first think you learn, when studing chemistry ...
amduser86 Go read up when flouride toothpaste was introduced in the west and how dramatically the rate of caries related toothproblems changed. In Japan several toothpastes contain fluoride, but many/most don't. And if you knew anything about japanese dental care you would know that tooth decay in Japan is higher than in the western world.
I live in a two room apartment and the rent is almost at $500 and in part of that rent I have a washing machine and dishwasher. I live in a town so not in a big city and at the cheapest part of the town in Sweden. I guess I am lucky then!
bring a futon and change the layout of the room when ever you need to, A dedicated bedroom one night can suddenly become a dining room the next morning to a living/gaming room in the day etc.
I just finished moving across Saitama in summer. Much less stressful now I have Japanese down but man, a few years back I dreaded all the moving procedures. :’)
As the old saying goes,
Locks keep honest people honest.
Congratulations on your new appartement! It's really nice to see the perspective and how it's like in Japan, I love these lifestyle videos!
Actually, I wouldn't mind living in a small apartment like that. I'm usually by myself so it would be a nice small home.
This is really neat! I just moved out of a tiny upstate ny studio (smaller than what is shown here) and it was $600 a month! So small the shower wasn't even in the bathroom, I could cook and shower at the same time I I wanted to. Glad I moved!
Congratulations! In my country you invite someone for dinner to celebrate your new place. It could be your friends or SO, and it will bring you luck. Mirrors will make your space appear larger and will reflect light from that huge window too! Same in the bathroom.
Nice! That reminds me of a tradition here in Singapore, where companies buy other companies bouquets of flowers to celebrate the opening of an office or retail location.
Kevin Bhasi offtopic: I loved Singapore because of its people, I even got a home made granola gift :D I hope I can visit again
It'd be cool if you could acquire luck like that. Unfortunately you cannot, though.
Same in saudi arabiya 😂
Lol same in vietnam
Please more videos like this one!!!!!!!
He needs to move more then...
agreed
Yeah he just needs to keep an unfurnished apartment.
they guy just moved xD Just rewatch this video multiple times, you will get what you want.
X t i n a H C HOW?
I lived in one of these 1K apartments for 4 years when I lived in Tokyo. It's cute at first but you eventually go insane.
why is that?
Yeah I'll probably upgrade to a bigger place if I ever get a raise lol
JOSETV1 Imagine living in a tiny apartment for years alone. You would get claustrophobic and lonely.
Just go outside?? I think that is a solution to the problem.
^ LUL OUTSIDE
This place is luxurious compared to the place we stayed in in Akihabara, it was tiny but it's taught me to be more minimalistic!
The room may be small, but you sure are getting a bargain
Woah woah woah, you're saying that you can get a two bed room for 575 dollars a month in Dallas? That's insane
Currently living in a 2 bedroom that is reasonably up to date (appliances made in the last 30 years) for $575 per month, with gas and water free. Electric is about $60 a month in the summer, in the winter it goes down a bit. (gas furnace)
no kidding, all the places I've been looking at in Austin are like 800+ to not be in a sketchy area. Gotta go to Austin for work so not much say so in that :/
Define "in a sketchy area"?
Harpskid
Ghetto ,old Decaying Buildings with Graffiti on them , Crime (Murder's , Robbery, houses getting broken into, you get the Idea
I REALLY want to come to Japan. I’m in love with the culture. It is sooooo expensive to get there though. I don’t know if I’ll ever eat to go. I love just watching videos like this because Japan fascinated me. Keep up the good work!
And to think all of that stuff fit in a tiny bag
It's the Mary Poppins bag!
If you pack it right you can fit a lot in a bag. I have a friend that asked me if my small backpack was a magic bag since I succeeded to have a lot of stuff in it! XD
I have heard that women is better at backing then men. Not sure if it is true but it wouldn't surprise me since I get to do a lot of the backing when I am going to camp some days with one of my best friend that is male. :)
Maybe he is using a Pokemon bag.
Yeah XD
I can do that😁. But the thing is you gotta have foam in the handles so that you can carry it for a longer time.
The one thing that japan definitely does better than anywhere else is simplicity. They basically make these 1 bedroom places with as little of everything as possible whilst still keeping it livable. Of course these aren't the kind of things people want to live in but they're so good for people on tight budgets who just want somewhere where they can just crash.

Damn, you got an apartment with two windows? That ain't Nerima that's for sure!
please stop touching me
Show us on the doll where it touched you.
See any martial artists lately?
I loooove apartment videos and it's nice seeing ones in other countries because they're so different! Have fun setting up your new home.
$500 for 1 bed room apartment is not bad.
Xhere是亜論月 Rongestzu you need to consider the average income made in that area, not in USA
You've got to be kidding. This is barely a room, it's a glorified cabin
It isn't terrible, I mean you can get 3 bedroom houses for cheaper than that in Aus, but comparing these differences without taking exchange rates and economics in general into consideration is just redundant. Things are different in other countries, I'd still rather live in Tokyo.
Xhere是亜論月 Rongestzu I'd agree if it wasn't so small. $570 in every single apartment complex in my area can give you something 3x that size, and in some places a 2 bedroom.
But then again, it's Japan
R A T C H E T 3 bedrooms for $570? Fuck me, I'd move there if 90% of the wildlife didn't want to kill me
Fun to see how similar the 1K apartments are all over Japan, I recently moved out of my smaller place in Kyoto but I was getting some serious deja vu wathcing this video as it's almost exactly the same to a tee! Hope you can make it cozy and enjoy the place.
I'm actually surprised at the cost. I always thought an apartment in Tokyo was more expensive than 575USD. I pay 600USD for a room in Chicago! I feel like I'm getting screwed now.
Loved it. Please document setting up the place. I like how calm and mindful you seem to be about moving, and I want to see you set your place up!
You could use letter-sized paper pasted neatly on the window while you pick up curtains, It will make your space a huge lightbox
MyMajesty CorgiKun hes not 5 yrs old
MyMajesty CorgiKun Thats what I use, I find that curtains are a pain for privacy and collect a lot of dust
MyMajesty CorgiKun you americans and your wierd paper size. What is letter size? A5?
After some research, its A4.
Calum Champion Nope, it's a different standard. It's shorter and wider than a4.
SociallyDisabledCetacean yeah, but if you were anything other than american it's the nearest size you can get.
thank you for this intimate look into your new apartment in Tokyo. I really enjoyed seeing your tour your new place of residence.
This is so cute I love watching him 😭😭😭💖💖💖💖💖 he’s so excited to stay in his new apartment
Enjoy your new apartment! I’ve been following your channel since 2015 and its been fun seeing you evolve
Nice! I used to dream of living in a tiny apartment (but that was in my late childhood to early teenage years), but later, I started dreaming of living in some kind of rural area.
I'm assuming that you would continue to go back to your previous place to move stuff over.
5:17 I won't be surprised if you bought that at a Daiso store, because I used to have one like that and it was also from one of those stores.
Me too, it doesn't really matter how big the house is as long as theres a big yard :3
Kevin Bhasi j
Kevin Bhasi lol its like 2/3 a students flat, damn.
I want a tiny manageable unit in a rural area where someone else does grass and bullshit but I'm surrounded by gardens haha

I just found your video by .. I don't know TH-cam just show me but I found that your video is fun to watch. Like it and sub!
Whoa! I think you've just about beat me in electronics, blasted me out of the water. I thought it was crazy what I brought with me when I was young. Love this video and would love to see more!
....your command and or overall usage of the English language is commendable. Cheers
Honestly, I wouldn't mind a house this small. I don't know why but I quite like the idea of just living in the space you need.
Maybe it's because I've lived in big houses my whole life because of the number of siblings I have.
I wish a 1 room apartment in California was that cheap.
The price of that makes my place in the UK seem so cheap. Doing direct conversion right now I pay $500 for a 3 bedroom apartment.
EstharFalcus we pay that for a 1 room apartment in Berlin 😭
around the same for Malaysia
+Predebut Vernon Als ob Berlin auch so teuer ist 0.0
You're splitting rent with other people though I assume?
This video has been in my recommended videos for months, and I finally decided to watch it
Watching from a GPD Pocket.
Fuck the bed, that wall is awesome for a projector! hahaha
That's why they have futons!
He could just get sheets and put them on the curtain thing so no one can snipe him/ spy on him at night
+wolfgames101
Snipe? Wtf?
Haze yup
Haze there may be people who kill there or just hate him
@NihongoGamer
Congratulations on the move. I wish the best of luck to you in the new place.
Here's to more awesome videos!
Congratulations! Moving to a new apartment myself during new year. :) Enjoy! Expensive for such a small place though, glad im only paying about half that for about twice the space. Not surprised its expensive to live in Tokyo though.
Good Luck!! Looking forward to your experience in your new place!
Love how portable the GPD pocket is, yet the size of the screen is just...oh my eyes...QQ
I'm living in a flat share and my room is basically about the size of your "living room" segment minus the wall cupboard of course.
It's not the biggest place in the world for sure but you surely can live in a small place like this.
Enjoy your new home!
So thats why my sister wants me to send her lots of colgate toothpaste haha :D
You will not find Colgate toothpaste in Japan, I'm searching ocasionally since 2 years now and nothing. So I'm importing every 6 month few boxes for me and few my friends, the same is with colgate toothbrush. The Japanese ones are like for 5 years old kid.

First video I watch of you! Not sure why youtube recommend me this one lol. But seems like a fun adventure, subbing!

you sir are really good at vlogging, you should start a separate channel.
CONGRATS!!! It's a good thing the apartment has nice natural lighting! Use multi-functional furniture to maximize space usage~~~
Also....I'm amazed by how much you can fit in that backpack....
oh wow thats really small!
Amane that's not the first time he's heard that.
>insert unoriginal and unfunny obligatory penis joke
I'm amazed it actually has a bath. House's in Japan aren't bigger then this. This is considered big if you wanna know.
Amane hehe.. Hehe
lennyface*
This is actually a big apartment for the price. Space in Tokyo is at a premium.
great apartment, it looks small but cozy. I can't wait to see how you decorate this brand new place for future videos.
Apartment pricing does vary per prefecture correct? And also what is the pricing range for apartments in Tokyo right now?
it varies but even places out in the country can be kinda pricey for a small place
Best wishes in this new stage of your life. Moving is always a kind of fresh start. Greetings from Spain!
cheers!
thanks for this, the rent in rands zar would be 7775.09, the apartment is really for skinny people :) those are a lot of things that the backpack can hold, i would carry just the macbook have a dual boot os setup either bootcamp or win2go via external ssd (instead of using gpd pocket), and have ankher battery pack with sufficient ports to charge the rest of the devices without having to have separate charging bricks.
You could illuminate the apartment through the camera flash light or purchase candles unless there are regulations to not allow candles in the apartment, if you have a bedsheet you could use it as a temporary curtain with some hooks or pegs to keep it attached or some string knotted through or just wrapping curtains or some elastic band
thanks for the vid :) it was really interesting to see :)
Denver Naicker wat kind bra, leka to see another charou
hey :)
Is Maar moerse duur
Randomly got a suggestion for this video from TH-cam, watched this video and decided to subscribe. I like how you attached you're portable storage, I've done the same thing.
Man, you pay more for that place than I do for a place almost four times the size. Space in Tokyo really is at a premium.
Great video! This is Dan from our Chiba JET days by the way. Hope you're enjoying life in the Big T!
That apartment looks great.
Been following u for long time, keep up the great videos
Dude we can't even get an apartment that size for $1000 a month here in California hahaha
tangogamer928 dude here in germany ive got 4 rooms big kitchen,bathroom, basement and parking place for 600€ O.o
tangogamer928 Same with NYC. And that clean to boot 😂!
zapole nice
True, in L.A this size apartment runs no less than $1000
Zapole - then you must life in eastern germany. Here in munic a single room would be more expensive than your four room appartement. You could not afford a appartement of your size with the sallary of just one person. Even then you would need to have a good salary.
Booking tickets in December going during August for 2 weeks, I've waited so long to visit Japan. Just hope I can find a decent size place to stay at. Thanks for the insight got a lot of Japanese practicing to do.
Congratulations for your new apartment! 😄😄👍👍🍺
dont do that
Looks great! 😊👍 So ready for the progression video when settled in. ☆
:( new york sucks ass. Similiar wage rates as everywhere else but the realestate prices are significantly higher. 1200 a month in new york can get you a piece of sh it apartment, somewhere else thats a mansion.
Hopefully someday i can afford a place of my own...
PaulsGoldWeapons In glad I love in Houston. 1,200 a month gets you a very nice place in a good neighborhood. We're lucky here in Texas.
St Louis isnt too bad, still not great. I live in the Burbs but its still at least 500 a month just to get a basic apartment in a complex maybe 2 bedroom 1 bath. Roomy places at least, for an apartment. Lucky for us theres not much city in Missouri, I plan on moving about 30 min out, depends on my pay in a couple years.
For 1,200 you can get a whole decent house for 2-3 rooms with a garden, front yard and/or a backyard here in my city in Indonesia. And that’s for one year rent price, not per month.
PaulsGoldWeapons Move out man! My fam moved out of that city after 9 years of paying for rising rents and moving from one apartment to another. I know it's hard to move out a great city like that but just move out! There's better cities out there than NY! Plus, property elsewhere is CHEAAAP (except California)
Supply and demand my dude. Everyone wants to live there but there's not that much space
Congratulations on your new apartment. It looks great. Can’t wait to see how you transform it.
Its difficult to find fluoride toothpaste in japan? What do you buy instead then?
i buy fluoride toothpaste when I go on holiday
Japanese people are smart. They know fluoride is poison. I think toothpaste with activated carbon is common over there.
ThePavlowitsch is right. Fluoride is actually really bad for you.
Awesome! I do love moving into a new place!
Make sure to make a full apartment tour when you're done furnishing :)
:(
Thanks for the tour of your new apartment in Tokyo. I love the Colgate information. It's my favorite and I planned to bring a couple large tubes at least. :-)
What kind of hard drive is that? Considering getting one just for the sake of functionality!
I had the same question and finally found it; it's the SanDisk Extreme portable SSD.
congrats on your apartment, be glad your in japan, i didn't think id say this but over where im at over in seattle area oyur can get half that space, no washer or dryer for 900$ or best price for your size apartment for 1200$ its ludicrous! so im digging that apartment, i hope the move in goes well.
It's kinda like the apartment in Welcome to NHK... Or Enter the Void.
Sticking that mini hard drive on the back of your macbook is genius! All the best for the new apartment :D
Would love to see another vid when you've got all your gear in.
Nice video. :) I envy you for living in the Japan (and Tokyo). :P Cheers from Poland :)

where you from
In downtown San Diego, CA, US, a studio this size would cost at least $1000-1200 monthly to rent. So I don't really understand when people say living in Japan is expensive
Where are you miss your videos
Very cool! When I was a young adult, and lived in both NYC and also L.A., I would have been SO happy with a clean modern space like that. $575 USD a month? In NYC a tiny place like that would cost _at least_ $1500. That sounds really cheap. Enjoy your new place and thanks for this video!
Wah~ Looks so exciting!
I'd love to move in into a smaller home where there is less shit to manage and you can grab anything you want within arm length.
Wise Traveler and cheaper to manage too.
Bigger homes are troublesome. XD
Lettuce live in an ever supplying tent!!!
It shall be a revolution!!!
I currently live in Los Angeles (moving next year) and a place like the one you have would be close to a thousand usd if not more. Very affordable where you are. I love that
Seems so weird that fluoride toothpaste isn't common in Japan, it's something people in the West take for granted. What toothpaste do they use then to brush their teeth with?
not sure exactly. I think they just push a lot of 'whitening' toothpastes
don't u need whitening toothpaste? y'know, coffee drinker and such
fouride toothpaste isn't actually healthy at all. floride does nothing good for your teeth and accumulates in your bodies bone structure. it does not coat or interact with your teath at all in your mouth. fluridized water in the u.s. is actually a cheap way to get rid of toxic waste. pretty much the first think you learn, when studing chemistry ...
interesting information about fluoride! I'll look into it more
amduser86 Go read up when flouride toothpaste was introduced in the west and how dramatically the rate of caries related toothproblems changed. In Japan several toothpastes contain fluoride, but many/most don't. And if you knew anything about japanese dental care you would know that tooth decay in Japan is higher than in the western world.
Hey, I'm actually watching this from Japan, and I lived in an apartment just like that. Congratulations on new start!
It looks like a anime stereotype apartment XD (It actually makes me think about Chobits)
what a beautiful apartment! small apartments actually sound really comfy
my room is bigger than the whole apartment, and in europe my room is considered small lol
Antonio TF Lucky a**
I live in a two room apartment and the rent is almost at $500 and in part of that rent I have a washing machine and dishwasher. I live in a town so not in a big city and at the cheapest part of the town in Sweden. I guess I am lucky then!
Not in the netherlands....hé has more space than me and I pay 450€
VeryAngryProjectilePotato it really is cheap to buy houses here, even in cities. I looked it up recently cause I'm moving out
+Antonio TF Which country are you from?
A slightly smaller and dirtier apt in Minato in Tokyo is about 150 000JPY (1500 USD), it all depends on location
$572.56 usd a month to live in Tokyo ??? Steal!!!
Even better.
Woah, for bi-monthly that's pretty good.
Thanks for sharing the new cost for apartment in Japan.
I'm too American. I couldn't imagine staying in a place so small
Drayonis I'm American and I could live there easily.
Noah Cg3 right bruh. That crib decent for 500 for 2 months
please we need a series on how you set up your new apartment
Anime has already showed me this
This is so interesting and exciting to see! This really makes me want to move to an apartment in the future
Nice new digs!
Good video and good luck at your new apartment!
Are you sure that all of your waifus and games will fit in there?
Holo thank god games are now on steam and not dvd's or floppys :)
thats plenty for a single person and a good price very cool video thanks can't wait to have a place in japan someday
That apartment is smaller than my reason for living. I'm a big guy so I can't see myself living in such a confined space
It helps to be a minimalist.
Being 6 foot 6 inches might not help my case if I were to live in that apartment.
bring a futon and change the layout of the room when ever you need to, A dedicated bedroom one night can suddenly become a dining room the next morning to a living/gaming room in the day etc.
Papa Berto you can just say good bye to living in tokyo lol
I'm living in Malaysia right now and this apartment is very similar to the condo I moved in to.
I just finished moving across Saitama in summer. Much less stressful now I have Japanese down but man, a few years back I dreaded all the moving procedures. :’)
I understood most of the contract language but dang, I had a serious headache after it was all done
Reminds me of my dad's old condo unit.
Hope the moving is doing great and you should update once you get stuff in
Please do a review on Japanese underwears especially bras next
No kappa.
P.S nice comfy apartment
asd asdas *Panties
Just why?!?!?
why not?( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
*Nosebleed*
someone needs to learn the meaning of "joke" and literally embrace it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Love how compact it is
For that price I can get an apartment 4+ times bigger....
Where you living fam?
Romania, Dracula's kingdom :D
Very cool
I'm in a two bedroom that's about 4 times larger
It’s different. That’s Japan. Very difficult to find a decent apartment. Japan is an expensive country @_@
I'm moving into my own apartment in about a week, 1 bd (2 if you include the living room) 500sq feet or so, 465 a month, im excited!
