When I got to Tokyo for my trip last November I’d been up for over 24 hours. Plane food was gross. I was tired. I got out of the train station by my hotel and right outside was a Family Mart. Got myself a coke and famichiki. I knew it was rude to eat while walking so I tucked myself away in a corner to avoid being rude. I took a bite… it was the best fried chicken I’ve ever had in my life. I actually started tearing up because I finally realized I was in Japan and it was so good. And somehow the trip got even better.
I am a ‘Red Haired’ man… 60 yrs old. When i went to Japan… ‘88, i was near Akita. The people were Terrified of me!! My friend explained that ‘Red’ hair means you are a Demon in the old culture. We actually thought about dying my hair lol. I was there for about 2 months, and they never warmed up. Looking at you walking around so easily… i kinda get jealous lol
fellow redhead!! I’ve been following you for awhile now & love learning new things about Japan & living vicariously thru you guys!! Love the longer vids of you both !! 🧡
Long form content wooohoooooo! I am absolutely obsessed with your Shorts, love your style. Something I would really like to see is a video about your journey coming to Japan, getting a teaching job, etc and how that process looked like. Putting aside all the practical issues that are inevitable, it all just sounds so dreamy and exciting!
The algorithm brought me here Liked and subbed instantly, this is wholesome and awesome at the same time - please keep enjoying life and sharing these japanese quirks, so effing cool 😂
I'm fine with no Tipping CULTURE but, if I have a genuinely good experience, like i see with most Asian restaurants I've seen on here, and in real life personally, I'd love to be able to tip with more money to show my gratitude. They may have different ways but more money is never a bad thing to me lol.
0:30 Riinu!! He's from the utaite (singing) group Strawberry Prince (すとぷり) I did a double take seeing him randomly haha the group isn't super big outside of japan. I definitely reccomend checking them out!
I was stationed in Guam once, a very long time ago, and visited Japan for a week. It was hands-down my favorite place I've ever been. I absolutely love your videos. And you totally do look like an anime character.
This longer video was well put together! It was interesting to see the different foods. What about a similar video about unique items you can buy in stores?
What are some good colleges for studying a language degree (I want to be a English teacher in Japan so I thought who better to ask than someone of the same career)
@@Jeong.in.P1eces_Riize.is.7 Be careful, if you want to get a good job teaching English in Japan (such as at a university or international school) then you definitely need to get a degree in teaching English at a college or university. Otherwise you'll be stuck with not so motivated students at a cram school.
Isn't it surreal how easy it is to pop up on TH-cam and rack-up subs through pretty much shorts alone that are simply about Japan! 😂.. just insane! 😆. Congrats by the way guys on nearly 400K! 😄
I went to the Totoro pastry place, the pastries were cold, soft, tasted like they were left in the fridge for days. Only go if you want a nice ambiance, wanna sit and have some sodas or other drinks.
Nice I always wanted to visit Japan and some cousins of mine were there last year. I would love to go diving in the Izu Islands and even Kyushu too because I love the water.
1 Patreon and 2 TH-cam Members? Well, you've got at least 3 TH-cam members now. This is good content. "Check out my trip to Japan" is dime a dozen stuff. But this channel is presented exceptionally well. It reminds me of Jaiden Animations. Except for the animations part.
As a Japanese person I’ve never seen the pancake hack with the fami chicken inside I only eat the fami chicken but it’s so good also I recommend trying the karaagebo- from seven eleven ( カラゲボー )
I love y'all's videos sooooo much. But if y'all could get a small microphone for the long for that would be amazing. Because it kinda sounds like y'all on a car the entire time. But instead of that very good video
Every other TH-camr who tasted Famichiki said they're amazing and you come and say "eh, yeah, it's just fried chicken". Also you said that it's good with the pancakes but your faces said that you were in pain. 😆
We stood in line for almost an hour down a hot cramped staircase for Ichiron Ramen but we thought it was delicious. The best ramen I have had but I didn’t have your info about better while I was there 😢.
The pancakes and fried chicken is like the waffles and fried chicken Churches Chicken (or is it Popeyes Chicken....?) has here in Alabama. It's a really big thing here. I've never tried it though.
If there ever was a channel I would do the patron thing for it would be yours for that one comment where you said its thanks to our one patreon and 2 youtube peoples lol. 😂
A full length video from Megan and Ben?! Hell yeah
After months of promising 🫠 so glad you liked it 😊
@@thehitobitoplease do more! Still love the shorts but long videos are are even better!!
PLSS DO ANOTHER VIDEOOOO--
WOOHOO!🎉❤

The small comforts of Japan are truly magic
I'm Japanese. Thank you for sharing such an emotional story. It's so compelling that Hollywood could potentially turn it into a movie.😊🐔🎞✨
FWIW: Visiting distant places is fun.
TRAVELLING TO distant places -- I e., JET LAG -- kinda sucks.

Hmm maybe Tokyo is a little more progressive...
Is '88 referring to 1988?
@@bunez69xYes. Any two digit number that starts with ' is probably a year. For instance, I was born in '93.
@@bunez69xbefore the year 2000 that is. People sometimes use it for years after 2000 but it's becoming less common.
Love the longer videos! Please do more! So much fun to watch and more information 🙂
More to come!
Yes! We've got a lot to say!
Amazing video! I would love to see more full length videos like this!
So glad you liked it! We had a blast making it so more to come!

Yay I can see full length videos from this channel 🙏👍
Poor redheads and brutal sun don’t go together. Glad you survived.
Love your shorts and absolutely love this longer video. Thank you!
This video made my day☺️thank you❤

Can’t wait for the next one!
You two compliment eachother so well (in the nicest way possible you remind me of a kitsune)
You're so pretty❤❤.
I am so happy that you are posting long form content😁.
Thanks 🥰 yes we're learning! What do you think?
It's good!!!
that last fried chicken/pancake thing is like a Chick-fil-a chicken biscuit with honey. crunchy buttery sweet is such an underrated combo.
It's deadly! But in a good way 😭
Don't you think no tipping culture is so good in Japan?😃
Yes, we're all for it!
Tipping in the US is a leftover from the slavery eras, so yes I think the no tipping culture is great.
I'm fine with no Tipping CULTURE but, if I have a genuinely good experience, like i see with most Asian restaurants I've seen on here, and in real life personally, I'd love to be able to tip with more money to show my gratitude.

Yes, absolutely I believe this because when I tip them I get a very wholesome and lovely reaction and generally a nice reputation with the business.
Only problem I’m not sure if that’s okay to do
wow a full length video, so cool!
Thank you!
AAHHHHHHHHHH a long form videoo hell yeahhhhh
I love your content, it’s so sweet. Thanks for the contenttt
I looked through all your videos multiple times! Love your content. 😊
Loved your full length it was really fun and honest
Awh thanks so much! We try to paint a good picture

PS your Patreon link in the doobly doo isn’t working currently it might need looking at.
Oh really?? Thank you so much for telling me I will try to fix that
I really hope that there are more full length videos in the future this was really nice
More to come!
I’m still reeling from the escal-gay-tor. I must find it.

Yes! Our next one is gonna be way better actually, we got a new camera, mic and someone to help edit!

No thank you! Hope these videos are fun to watch :) more coming soon

Awh that's so sweet!!! We won't stop!
Very good vid y'all! My daughter is very interested in Japanese culture and food. Thanks for sharing your experiences!
Pro-tip: Vienna coffee anywhere they have it, ウィンナーコーヒー is straight up amazing 💖
A full length video from you guys, hells yes
Your editing keeps catching me off guard 😂 it’s too great
Hahaha glad you like it
Amazing video! More long videos pleeeeease :3
I love this kind of honesty
Living in Japan must be so cool. My dream choices would be that or New Zealand.
I love food lol hope you guys make more cool videos like this one I just watched your high school vid too can't wait to see more

Congrats by the way guys on nearly 400K! 😄
It's insane lol. Never had this crazy of growth before. We have about 800k on TikTok but people must have just gotten addicted to the videos on here
Keep up the good work!❤
Thank you! Will do!
I went to the Totoro pastry place, the pastries were cold, soft, tasted like they were left in the fridge for days. Only go if you want a nice ambiance, wanna sit and have some sodas or other drinks.
0:52 YES QUEEN YAAAAAASSSSS
Aw man an introvert shop. Sold!!
You need to review the tuna place at Tsukiji market and American Diner Andra (burgers) in Taito City!!! Plssssss
Nice I always wanted to visit Japan and some cousins of mine were there last year. I would love to go diving in the Izu Islands and even Kyushu too because I love the water.

As far as what else it takes... that's kind of beyond me. But best of luck!
- You forgot all of those fancy matcha nd boba drinks. 🙄 lolll
I would love to watch your long format video 👍👍
I'd love to see a full length video on a week's worth of school lunches in Japan. 😁
This is a great idea!
Are you guys citizens of Japan or there on a work visa also really enjoying the shorts great for teach us Americans about a very different culture
We are foreign residents :)
you should do a food collab with Japan Eat!
I LOVE my Famichiki!!! I eat it way too much here haha
I never eat it with the pancakes or buns, I love it by itself
Went to a Don Quijote in Honolulu with my brother in January we loved it can't imagine how big the one in Tokyo is
Endless. It's endless.
@ 8:18 - That's Soul Food! lol
I spilt tea all over my phone. My tea chose to watch this video. Trust in the tea.
Personalized ramen in my own little space? I put my headphones on, watch some anime on my phone, and I’d be in heaven
If they ever make a live action Chainsaw Man, you should audition. You would be hired instantly.
The memes would be great
You sold me. I wanna go 😊 thanks for sharing ❤
I agree with your famichiki gastro-intestinal concern as it contains more oil than it is tasty
Family Mart better be offering famitoilets to go with my famichicki fr

Thank you for sharing ur REAL experience
The creme puffs look absolutely delicious 😋
I never mentally progressed past 2016 either Megan you’re not alone 😭💖
Too real 🫠
You did not mention how long or far it is to get to the cream puffs. It is not close to 'downtown'. Been there once. Brought 4 back to the US.
Love your vids 👍👍🇯🇵🇯🇵
Give us mooooore... more videos PLZZZZ
Is this your first video ever? that is not shorts. Make a video where do you go see cherry blossom!
My daughter and I wish we lived in Japan. It’s a beautiful place, but we’re in Iowa. Lol, Hope you two the best.
