I can respect this. I think the idol and the fans know they will never become full idols but it's a great chance for the fans and the singers to have a tight knit community. Not everything has to be on a huge scale.
@@bgmnitrixracer9176 I mean, Paolo isn't the first to it either. Maybe in Japan, yes, but it has been done elsewhere. Ken's format is a bit different. He doesn't really insert himself in the peoples' environment as much as Paolo. Ken is a bit more stern. Paolo sometimes tries to squeeze a laugh or witty comment to keep it lively even if it falls a little flat and every once in awhile it just sounds forced. Paolo also takes forever to upload. So I appreciate Ken's videos. More frequent.
I love when people just do what they love !!!! Others may look down on it but really when you love what you do I think that’s such a brave thing to try
I really enjoy the rustic and realistic aspects of your videos, like showing conflicts between couples, reasons of a guy being dumped, and this hardship of basement idols. Love all your videos, relatable, but unique. Thank you!
It's amazing to see how much effort Rena put effort into her dream of being and idol. It may or may not happen, but the hussle you learn from it will go a long way. Best of luck to Rena and her group. Miku from Band-Maid started in Tokyo working at a maid cafe and was also in an idol group. Flash forward almost a decade later and the band have done pretty good for themselves, and today you can still see the maid cafe and idol skills she uses to market the band. 12:23, I noticed that on the screen is the idol group Kamen Joshi.
Oh man, your stuff is incredible! I really enjoy your videos, I am fascinated by the urban landscape in metropolitan cities of Japan. I really appreciate their urbanisation concept. Congratulations and keep the good work on!
Another great video from you, Ken. It's just wonderful to see how other people live their lives. ...very enlightening. I too hope she gets very successful....she's very pretty with a great voice!
She left the group I think. Majewel does have a TH-cam channel. This is the video explaining that, sort of. Long story short, she shot this video I guess and a few months later she decided to move on from the group. Here is a link to it. th-cam.com/video/iFhoY2KoLC4/w-d-xo.html
You should put their insta in the description. That would help them to get more exposure. And as a music producer and dj I know how challenging is the music industry. All the best for her and I would be more than happy to share their profiles on my insta or fb. Greetings from Poland/UK.
I love that as you watch through all your videos, you can see different scenes where featured people overlap, such as seeing the rickshaw drivers in the background of another video, or seeing the Voice coach work with singers. Very cool. =)
Really enjoy your videos. I like the narrator and narration as well. The reality of seeing a Japanese real persons life style is fascinating. Looks like Lots of work in making these .Would love to see more videos.
Thank you for uploading these kind of videos! They show a variety of people living in Tokyo and their work and dreams. Also, one of the girls in her idol group looks like Ayano! Is it her?
Agreed. Every single person featured in this basement idol world is all about that lazy life. From the nearly 30 y/ontrust fund baby idols, to their hikkikomori fans.
@@veo16 really? I feel like she worked non stop. Model, instagram, practice, perform, meet fans, livestream. Even started warm ups while doing her makeup. Obviously not a typical job, but waking up at 6:45 and working until midnight isn't my idea of a stoner lifestyle.
The natto bread looks yummy.. Reminds of Yakitate Japan.. I should try to make it too. Love this series so much. Thank you for your hard work.. Looking forward for your wonderful vids😊
6:40. Her parents tolerate all that noise in the morning. I'm seeing some psychological issues. Definitely respect. Closing her ears and sing and I know that's a small space. So they can hear her with all that singing noise. I mean great to have dreams but it's a small space.
If I visit Japan I hope to see one perfomance of small group like that it would be so interesting. First I need to learn japanesse better so at the end we can speak with the people.
I wonder if she's ever thought about focusing on modeling full-time? Diana's life actually seems like a lot of fun and fulfilling to me😊. I wish her and her music group the best of luck going into the future.
Wow someone shares my real life name too. (Yes this account is named after an anime character named Rena too) but I find it so cool when I find someone with my name. Rena is such a nice and unique name. I'm glad she has it like me! :D
Who's watching this in Dec 2023? I admire her goals and dreams in "making it" in the Japanese pop singing world, but I don't know how impossibly hard it is to break in. How is she and her band doing in 2023? Anyone know?
this is also like self hurting ... eating bad ... sleeping the bare minimum and overworking herself while in a few years she still could not achieve her dream. A good quick video in how the not so famous try to be famous -being lured in- and how this is just the same all over the world
I think calling them Underground idols is much better than basement idol lol. Basement idols sounds like they're captives inside a basement lol. I enjoyed the video tho very nice
Not to be mean, but at 27 I think the ship has already sailed on her idol career. She is still doing tiny venues making little money. I don't know how you can say she looks 13-15. My first guess was that she mid 20s.
@@squiggs1002 Squiggs, people who have never been to Japan or seen many Japanese often guess their ages much younger than actual. You are spot on about the aging thing. Looks to me like she's just having some fun, and sponging off her parents.
My friend is 32 years old and she still dreams to be actress. It happens more often I think. I personally think people who like what they do have strong desire to get up in morning and go about their day. If you don't like what you do, it'll be much harder and life will feel like a drag. Not sure what this girls background is but perhaps she used to have normal job but decided to do something else she loves instead
@@8253nightmare lol you are comparing an film actor to being an idol in Japan. All japanese idols are young mostly teens some early 20s. She could become famous 40-50s but it won't be as an idol. Obviously an actor can become famous at any age.
I can respect this. I think the idol and the fans know they will never become full idols but it's a great chance for the fans and the singers to have a tight knit community. Not everything has to be on a huge scale.
I can't get enough of this type of day in the life japanese content. You and Paolo are killing it!
idk but this channel might be copying Paolo from Tokyo but this channel uploads more regularly

@@namenotfound8747 yea i mostly agree with you, well done bro
I definitely want more people to do ! Its very interesting
Paolo didn't invent the format he's just really good at it. I like both channels.
I love when people just do what they love !!!! Others may look down on it but really when you love what you do I think that’s such a brave thing to try
A casual yet delightful take on a very unique profession, Ken. Love this series. Keep up the goodwork
Thank you for your feedback. Will keep it up!
@@ken_honda hi what’s her instagram name
I really enjoy the rustic and realistic aspects of your videos, like showing conflicts between couples, reasons of a guy being dumped, and this hardship of basement idols. Love all your videos, relatable, but unique. Thank you!
Becoming successful as a idol in such a competitive market is very hard. I really wish that she gets big one day.❤️❤️
Shes already too old to become one, but as a hobby why not.
she is 27 years old. she wont make it she need to realize that.
@@chrisathian5450 Needs*
dont forget that some kpop idols are already 30 years old, but they still are following their dreams.
Y’all scream I scrempt when camera panned over to 4 dudes in the crowd 😂😂😂😂 !!!! That shit was soo funny. I almost fainted from laughing so hard 😂

Aww. What a sweetheart! I hope she succeeds in achieving her dream! The idol game is so competitive in Japan.

Hats off to her commitment to her dream. I wish her good luck
Another great video from you, Ken. It's just wonderful to see how other people live their lives. ...very enlightening. I too hope she gets very successful....she's very pretty with a great voice!
she should start a youtube to bring in more exposure. good thing take time, keep at it and she will find her audience as a singer.
She left the group I think. Majewel does have a TH-cam channel. This is the video explaining that, sort of. Long story short, she shot this video I guess and a few months later she decided to move on from the group. Here is a link to it. th-cam.com/video/iFhoY2KoLC4/w-d-xo.html
What a brilliant video and TH-cam channel. Thank you for the awesome content.
Thank YOU for your encouraging message.
This is a fantastic. You can learn a lot watching other peoples life. Btw, they are very talented and hard working.
You should put their insta in the description. That would help them to get more exposure. And as a music producer and dj I know how challenging is the music industry. All the best for her and I would be more than happy to share their profiles on my insta or fb.
Greetings from Poland/UK.
That sounds like a really tough life, I hope they enjoy it regardless!
Aww she seems to be a very nice lady. Hope she make it big
Really interesting to see the idol lifestyle.
Best of luck to her, and Majewel!
Thank you for this content! IT is super interesting! And it must be really hard to record and edit. Thanks!☺🥳
This is a delightfully professional Ken, keep it up ! Oh, and do give my best wishes to Rena !
Wow amazing and unique 😊✨. Plus I'm learning new stuff. Also i give her respect. I wish her best.✨👍
I really wanna see the day in a life of the narrator 😁 I am so in love with her voice 🥰
Yeah me too, she's awesome!
She reminds me of Kuroko Shirai (araij Satomi) from Toaru kagaku no railgun
I love that as you watch through all your videos, you can see different scenes where featured people overlap, such as seeing the rickshaw drivers in the background of another video, or seeing the Voice coach work with singers. Very cool. =)
Geez I wonder wy that is genius. You can't figure it out ? It's all fake, it's all Kabuki theater. See my comment above.
This to me was a feel good video too. Because its so relatable!
Really enjoy your videos. I like the narrator and narration as well. The reality of seeing a Japanese real persons life style is fascinating. Looks like Lots of work in making these .Would love to see more videos.
Great work! Hope you can preserve and your channel will grow.
I have been to the shrine !! Really like it there
Wow! Perfect video Title. Also i love your videos. Good job and Thank You!
Thank YOU for your kind comment.
Thank you for uploading these kind of videos! They show a variety of people living in Tokyo and their work and dreams.
Also, one of the girls in her idol group looks like Ayano! Is it her?
I feel like a lot of Japanese are living a stoner lifestyle but without the weed lol. Great videos, thanks!
Agreed. Every single person featured in this basement idol world is all about that lazy life. From the nearly 30 y/ontrust fund baby idols, to their hikkikomori fans.
Interesting way to put it but accurate lol

They all look so happy and hardworking. ❤️
Nice day video! I hope her and her friends make it big. Interesting what they are doing to try to make a go of it.
The natto bread looks yummy.. Reminds of Yakitate Japan.. I should try to make it too.

I almost didn't watch because the title seemed a bit ordinary.. but this was a actually very fascinating view of someone chasing their dreams.
Great video thanks for sharing and for your time!
I love it. I really do. Very nice little look into your life. I think you will be quite famous.
They are incredibly professional even with the size of the audience group is discouraging. 🔥
If I visit Japan I hope to see one perfomance of small group like that it would be so interesting. First I need to learn japanesse better so at the end we can speak with the people.
I am a 27 year old Chinese born in Australia, I absolutely love crayon shin chan :)
She works so hard. Respect from China.
They look very talented! They should try TikTok and create a group page on social media of them preforming. Good luck to her 🥰
Is there any update? I’d like to know if things have gotten better for her with her idol career. 😍🤔
Just realized ayano is in the vid too :0
I wonder if she's ever thought about focusing on modeling full-time? Diana's life actually seems like a lot of fun and fulfilling to me😊. I wish her and her music group the best of luck going into the future.
Everyone in England knows Shin-chan too. I loved watching that show growing up.
It's the same case in India. Everybody born after 1990 (which is when Japanese kids' animes started airing) knows Doraemon and Shinchan.
Shin-Chan was also popular in Portugal
first thing, she has a samsung oy oy.. i am so happy,, a lot of ppl in Japan buy iphones usually.. anyway
are there any links to her social media accounts?
I find it interesting that you blurred her Instagram handle....Why not share her Instagram profile to get her to gain traffic?
I know, I would love to follow her
I think the people ask to not share certain things.
Aah..remind me of a good ol'time when I had 'baito as a salon model in Tokyo 😁
idol group of 3 women who have 5 fan...
She’s beautiful.
Wow someone shares my real life name too. (Yes this account is named after an anime character named Rena too) but I find it so cool when I find someone with my name. Rena is such a nice and unique name. I'm glad she has it like me! :D

before she put her makeup I already knew she is beatifull
9:06 7.5 million square meter shrine? Is this the real size?
I dream about Ken make my video after i visited in Japan and that sweet voice lady telling my daily routine wow great dream i think 💬😁
Very interesting, thank you :)
Sheis really beauty i pray she succses to become famous singer
It's not bad as a fan you have all of them to yourself :P But still wish them lots of fortune!
Good job keeping your dream alive.
great video. always interested in live house i watched some chika idols before here in ph. thanks ken
I'm amazed at how late in the morning most people go to work. I wake at 6 and am at work at 7. Evenings are for TV.
Sad..only 5 people ...3 r staff..😂 good luck..Hard work always pays offff...one day they'll rock
Ken does Rena have any media channels? You do not have any posted.
She is so wholesome!
"When you usually wake up?"
"It depends."
Can relate to that.
When u make these video's why don't you put their name/social account to help them get publicity ?
I love this series. Thanks for sharing :)
Keep going... awesome and unique content 👍🏻👍🏻
1:00 I just got flash backs from that alarm
Omg, I’m so jealous of all that Schinchan stuff 🥺🥺🥺🥺
I've never had natto on bread, but I do enjoy eating natto (and I'm not even Japanese).
I’m totally stealing that ear-rubber-band routine!
These things only work in Japan and she seems happy in what she doing, hoping I'll do the same in future unlike my system work.
Excelente video.
Oh man. I'm Dutch and we had Shin-Chan in the early 2000's. 😍
It is still on going 1k plus episodes
shout out to those willing to chase their dream!! thats how all the other idols started!!
Great video strive hard work hard they will make it
hope your channel will grow soon!
Удачи девушке.

Didn't know that basement idol was exist. Keep it up, Ken.

Day in a life of the narrator please 🔥
i am from germany and am also a huge fan of crayon shin chan as it was a part of my childhood. I am glad to see that it is still popular in Japan.
I'm from Malaysia, and still watch shin chan and doraemon till today
Shin Chan is like The Simpsons in Japan.
Your videos are very enjoyable. Is the voice a male or female?
哈哈，我也很喜欢小新哦！
I thought this was a Paolo from Tokyo "Day in the life series"
Finally
