well Here we go again. Restarting the cycle of watching all of the day in the lives. It never ends. I cant stop because i miss them soooooo much 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I really love how you showed every tiny, "unspectacular" bit of your ordinary day, unlike those fancily crafted tourism-ads-like videos. It's so raw and candid. As someone who grew up in Japan and now lives in Texas (yup, the other way around from you :D), I enjoy finding about Japan through your perspective. Thank you for your lovely videos and blog posts!
Moo Moore Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it! I was trying to figure out what "day in my life" videos actually were and came across quite a few that were very scripted. It seemed kind of... off? Ps - how is living in Texas? :D
Texan in Tokyo Yeah I get kind of skeptical when things look all fancy and exciting :( Texas is as cool as Japan but in a totally different way. There was one time when I was back in Japan shopping at a local supermarket. I casually asked the cashier lady how she is doing, and she froze and looked at me like "did you just talk to me?" Then I realized this is not Texas lol.
It so refreshing seeing a genuine video about someone life. Typically we see TH-cam videos about the "average" life of people and apparently everyone wakes up with perfect hair and a creepily happy attitude. At 6:30am I'm a thriller video zombie
Ryosuke is one super early riser, he reads and does stuff at 5am? I can't even barely open my eyes at that time, much yet even to read something. That lunch was super simple yet its super delicious! "Why is there no vegetables today, do they hate Wednesday or something?" - breathless Grace. HAHA that was funny.
Having the time stamp in the corner is pretty awesome :o makes the video all the more enjoyable and gives a better grasp of your day. Very interesting vid ^^
I can't believe it has been 7 years already. I come back to this series from time to time, since even after such a long time it hasn't failed to make me smile. I have so many memories from that time period! Especially that we are in similar age. So much has changed since then. I truly hope that you are living your best life, having a wonderful happy family together. I'm sure you are wonderful parents in your new stage of life, and I wish you nothing else, but the best. Even though you probably will never read that!
i've been watching rachel and june channel and i came across you guys !!! boy what a wonderful couple you both are !!! your vlogs are more real in essence , i mean seriously , you both really inspire .... njoy your life guys, i hope you dont stop vlogging any time in future !! Cheers from India
I don't know why but honestly the thing that struck me most from this video was how happy you two seem together. I mean you always do haha, but for some reason this simple video about your day made it stand out and it made me smile so thanks for that :)
I keep coming back to this video... something about it is just so honest and comforting. I know you don't do videos anymore but I hope you know your videos still make an impact on us. :)
I love her attitude in her videos. She's so cheerful and outgoing. It's nice to see a youtuber in Japan who isn't constantly complaining about how different it in from the US. She just earned a new subscriber!! :D
Thats a really good technique you have taught me. When lacking motivation, stop what you're doing and instead do something you hate, such as running, or any other boring activity like chores, and then you will feel motivated to keep working on what you were doing in the first place, because you dont feel like doing that other thing you hate. I will apply that to my life when Im lacking motivation, thanks!
That's so fun to see how your average day is in Tokyo. Thanks for sharing and no it wasn't boring. My college life video would be so busy and filled with interesting places, maybe I should make one.
I don't know how I found your channel, but it's fantastic! Love seeing what you guys are up to... I've always wanted to travel to Japan and I'm learning a lot by watching your videos. Keep up the good work.
I find day-in-the-life videos from any one interesting. I guess I just find it fascinating. Also, I just ordered (and pre-ordered!) Your books! I'm really excited to read them!
Wahhh you guys wake up so early! It is so nice of you to wake up and accompany Ryosuke before he goes to work. I would probably just sleep in, hahaha. Loved the idea of running in order to get motivation to write again. I would love to see more of these types of videos. ^^ Thank you for letting us see your daily routine and being true to your viewers (unlike other youtubers who magically wake up fully made up...lol).
I find it so weird that Americans keep their shoes on indoors, in Canada we also take our shoes off inside and usually walk around bare footed or in socks
That's generalizing it a bit. It honestly seems to depend on the region and the family. In my experience, warmer areas tend to keep their shoes on indoors (or at home, walk to the bedroom and take them off and store them in the closet) and where it's colder (and far more snowy in the winter, not that the south doesn't get cold/snow) it seems like it's more common to take them off right inside the door (usually on an entry rug or tiled/wood floored area depending on the house) and walk around in socks or bare feet. (I'm from the south (and mostly visited family in the south as a kid) where the former is more common and now live in the north where the latter is standard and having your shoes on indoors is pretty rare.)
Ahh that makes sense, though I still feel as if you would still track dirt into the house. I guess it just feels so weird because it is incredibly rude to keep shoes on in someone's home in Canada (unless you have express permission to keep them on) , and when I visited friends in the states I got weird looks taking them off
+Erica Johnson I understand. The areas that keep them on, it's seen as rude to take them off (like you're 'making yourself at home' without permission) so for a while I felt awkward taking them off when visiting people I barely knew. Customs are just different everywhere. I was thinking earlier and realised that with pets, which I realise aren't as big in some places but are here, dirt's going to get tracked in anyway when you let them outside and then back in. I can't see any way around that short of bathing them each time (which is out of the question, especially in winter), or at least washing their paws. Having thought about that, I'll be vacuuming even more often now. lol
Well, I'm from Texas, and no one who lives in my house is allowed to walk around with shoes inside. They stay by the front door. I don't walk around in slippers but I keep my socks on. I think it depends on the person and family in regards to America. I just can't stand to clean dirty floors every time someone walks all over with shoes.
I really loved this video. Besides showing life in Japan, you showed how loving a couple's routine can be. You guys are amazing! I'm definitely buying your book on amazon!! :) yup!!! I just bought your book!
Wah, the first episode of this came out on my birthday. So cool. I always enjoy watching these even if you think it's something completely random, seeing a snapshot into another culture and country is always interesting.
actually, i really like these kinds of videos for some reason. it may be just your average day in japan but i find it really interesting. it's nice and simple, and it kind of makes me feel like home, you know what i mean? also, you are ryosuke are a really cute couple, you guys make me smile a whole lot
I love these types of videos! It's always so interesting to see what it's like for others lead their life on the other side of the world. Thanks for sharing Grace! And oh, I'm looking forward to the video where you both speak Japanese! :D
My favorite video grace!!!!!! I love seeing other people's days etc. Ryosuke works a long day! Man I bet he's exhausted but at the same time I bet you are ready to see him
+Benny Luong Thanks! I can't believe it either!!! I NEVER thought they'd be this popular, hahahaha. I'm working on my 2nd (and last) one in Ghana right now!
This is actually really nice! It's good to see a video of the American-female perspective of someone living in Japan. I was stationed in Okinawa for two years and now I'm in Fort Bliss. Watching Jvloggers makes me feel that nostalgia again! 😅 Can't wait to watch more! 👍🏾
Thanks for sharing a day of your life in Japan! It is really refreshing to look at scenes from another part of the world (I live in NY state right now). My girlfriend and I are doing the long distance thing, which is how I stumbled upon your blog and your channel!
Pretty amazing how the honour system actually works in Japan. In North America everything would be stolen - the money, the food, probably even the table.
I am too. Being American, I can just see people stealing that within 5 seconds. The rail system in the city I live in has an honor system ( no gates, random ticket checks and you get fined or arrested for a misdemeanor if they find you without) and half of riders don't pay. It just amazes me seeing this. You go, Japan!
+Texan in Tokyo Yeah I am amazed as well. I live in Canada and if I left stuff like that out it would most likely get stolen. I am super surprised at how cheap your lunch was. In Canada if I where to buy that stuff it would most likely come up to 30 of 40 dollars due to how expensive Salmon is up here. Maybe higher or lower never bought salmon before. But Food is really expensive up here especially Healthy food.
i love your videos! i am also a Texan hoping to visit Japan one day, so seeing someone from the same place as me living somewhere i'd like to go is very interesting! keep up the good work~!
Watching this makes me want to go to Japan even more. Hopefully one day i am able too.One thing that i dont understand is, how on earth can people wake up sooo early?? My house could be on fire and i will still be in bed saying "five more minutes" lol
Texan in Tokyo Those working hours are scary... getting up at 5:30 and going to bed at roughly 23:20 would kill me. But he can't even get to bed earlier because he's home at like 22:00 :/ Do Japanese people at least have a weekend in traditional companies? Or at least 2 days off during the week even if it's not Saturday and Sunday? I think I've read somewhere that Japanese people generally don't believe if you tell them that every Sunday is by law a day off for everybody but essential services or industries that benefit a lot from that (restaurants, public transport, hospitals and so on). I don't even want to ask about paid holiday (or vacation... do Americans use vacation for just a week or so off from work even if you don't travel?)... We get 6 weeks here (4 by law but unions would rip their industries a new butt hole if anybody tried to offer less than 6). Americans already work an awful, awful lot for my taste but I don't think I could work in Japan with those hours. Maybe as a free lancer (because at least you're your own boss then).
Omg I'm like salivating over your lunch! Rice and fish (+miso) is always my favorite meal and to think they have my beloved sashimi salmon for so cheap and easy to get exxxcciiittesss meee! I learned something new today ^.^
Thanks for making this video, it gives me a more realistic view of life in Japan. since I will be over in Japan soon for my language study. Hope to maybe be able to meet up with you guys. 私はあなたの一番ファンです！
This was great! I'm sure you don't feel like your life is interesting but don't underestimate people's desire to see how others live! Very fun and you guys are so cute :)
This was so interesting! I love you guys and I think it's really cool that you'd show us a "day in the life" video. Also, your comics look so cute! I really want to buy one :-)
I love your approach to lunch, rice, fresh salmon and soy sauce, so simple and super delicous! I also like that you try to buy local, one of the most important things when it comes to buy food IMHO. And I'm glad there are more "no coffee = bad mood coffee = everything is fine" - people haha
I’m such a fan been watching forever so sad that they stopped TH-cam but sometimes I come back and re watch their videos, feel so happy watching them to know humans like these exist
Nice video I liked the motivation trick with the running :p About the editing program most people that have windows use adobe premiere pro but it requires a powerful pc and is pretty complicated. They offer a free trail though so you can check it out.
Texan in Tokyo Premiere and Sony Vegas are pretty much the only professional applications you can use for video editing on Windows. Everything else is... less professional. Not shit but just not the real deal. Adobe also offers a subscription service where you pay a relatively small fee per month and then you can use their software. That might be cheaper than buying Premier especially since you can cancel the service if you decide that the workflow required for Premier is not working for you. In a Mac you'd have Final Cut as well and iMovies which is a more fancy Windows Movie Maker. Much like iTunes compared to Windows Media Player.
The more of your videos I see and your articles I read, the more I love you guys :) I've also noticed that your videos pretty much always offer some kind of new insight or valuable perspective on things, rather than a lot of other Japan-related videos that I feel tend to get a little carried away with the over-dramatised "look how weird and different Japan is!" kind of line. I'm really interested in hearing a little more one day about your time at boarding school in Japan (how it came about and if there were many other international students there too, or if it was a total super-intense Japanese immersion environment that you threw yourself into, if that makes sense), and more about what it was like in the other countries you've lived/grown up in. It's really interesting to me. I can't wait until I can live overseas myself (starting with a full-year exchange to Japan later this year:D ). :) I'm sorry for the long comment. Thanks again for the content you post^^
I use to binge watch these videos and they have inspired me to visit or even move to Japan one day. I love you guys so much. And miss you guys ALOT. I respect your decision to leave TH-cam and raise your child CONGRATULATIONS AND THANK YOU!!! 💖💖💖💖💖
That was great! What you think is boring is so interesting to me! We all hear and see so much about the "exciting" parts of Japan, I want to know more about the mundane! Love these videos. :D
Loved the video and for some weird reason I got excited when you showed us your camera because I think I might have the same. Is it a Canon Ixus 220HS? They might have different names in the USA though if you bought it there...mmh... Keep up the good work! :D I'm also a freelancer but in Germany!
WAIT WHAT. I never would have thought I'd find my favorite German TH-camr commenting on one of my favorite Japanese/American couple's video! (Ich liebe Ihre Videos! Sie sind der Beste! :D)
I love these kinds of "day in a life" type videos. I found yours interesting as well! I also can't wait until the video of you both speaking Japanese. Will that be soon?
Roxzaney Yup. I just finished editing it today! I have two other videos that I will (probably) publish before that one - but hopefully it will come out next week!
it was actually lovely to see your day. as a freelance translator (expat) in Mauritius, i can totally relate to your routine and personally i love your lifestyle. i've just discovered your channel today, i'll make sure to check your other videos, too.
LOL YAY! You may think people don't care or aren't interested but hey I AM ! I really found this very interesting and cute :) You made me super hungry with that yummy food btw lol And where you live is beautiful so thanks for showing us ♥
I think this is the first time I'm doing this, commenting that is. I find your life very interesting. Thank you for sharing and I look forward to seeing more. Have a wonderful life.
This was really interesting! I just finished my Freshman year of college and I'm a Japanese major and International Business minor. I plan to live in Japan later on, this is really interesting! I love how cute a couple you and your husband are!! Keep up the amazing comics and interesting videos!!
I love the average day life videos. Because it shows what normal everyday life is like in Japan. Watching this has also got me excited for my planned move to Yokohama in 2018 xD
That's a lot better than mine. I'm usually home all day, especially in the winter. Lol. I love to hibernate when is cold. Summer is my favorite time. Stay warm.
I've been a subscriber for at least the last 6 months, and some how beyond my understanding, I just found this vid series! Soo gunna run through the series right now! I love so many other random vids I've seen from you guys but I've been missing out till now! XD
well Here we go again. Restarting the cycle of watching all of the day in the lives. It never ends. I cant stop because i miss them soooooo much 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Samee. I rewatch for comfort
Every now and then it just hits and you have to come back here❤
I really love how you showed every tiny, "unspectacular" bit of your ordinary day, unlike those fancily crafted tourism-ads-like videos. It's so raw and candid. As someone who grew up in Japan and now lives in Texas (yup, the other way around from you :D), I enjoy finding about Japan through your perspective. Thank you for your lovely videos and blog posts!
Moo Moore Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it! I was trying to figure out what "day in my life" videos actually were and came across quite a few that were very scripted. It seemed kind of... off?

Texan in Tokyo Yeah I get kind of skeptical when things look all fancy and exciting :( Texas is as cool as Japan but in a totally different way. There was one time when I was back in Japan shopping at a local supermarket. I casually asked the cashier lady how she is doing, and she froze and looked at me like "did you just talk to me?" Then I realized this is not Texas lol.
I'm still watching these even though you've parted for bigger and better things. Please don't ever remove them! They ease my homesickness for Japan!
It so refreshing seeing a genuine video about someone life. Typically we see TH-cam videos about the "average" life of people and apparently everyone wakes up with perfect hair and a creepily happy attitude. At 6:30am I'm a thriller video zombie
Viet Lee Me toooo. I don't get lifelike for at least an hour.
"I hate running so much that all of my motivation to write comes back." ... That's one way to exercise... Hahaha
Re-watching all your videos because it’s soothing to me. I miss you both! Hope all is well.
It's so adorable that your husband wakes you up in the morning. Seeing a vegetable vending machine was interesting, I didn't know those existed.
Ryosuke is one super early riser, he reads and does stuff at 5am? I can't even barely open my eyes at that time, much yet even to read something. That lunch was super simple yet its super delicious! "Why is there no vegetables today, do they hate Wednesday or something?" - breathless Grace. HAHA that was funny.
Tiffany Ava I know. I can't believe how early he wakes up! It's crazy
Unbelievable indeed.
It's actually normal, it's Asian thing
xD I wake up at 4:00 am to make my homework for school and am from germany
Having the time stamp in the corner is pretty awesome :o makes the video all the more enjoyable and gives a better grasp of your day. Very interesting vid ^^
Charlie Chen Hahaha, thanks! Glad to know~
I can't believe it has been 7 years already. I come back to this series from time to time, since even after such a long time it hasn't failed to make me smile. I have so many memories from that time period! Especially that we are in similar age. So much has changed since then.

i've been watching rachel and june channel and i came across you guys !!! boy what a wonderful couple you both are !!! your vlogs are more real in essence , i mean seriously , you both really inspire .... njoy your life guys, i hope you dont stop vlogging any time in future !!
Cheers from India
Thanks! I am glad you enjoy our videos ;)
akshay acharya
I don't know why but honestly the thing that struck me most from this video was how happy you two seem together. I mean you always do haha, but for some reason this simple video about your day made it stand out and it made me smile so thanks for that :)
***** I think that's my general look on life. It might be "simple" - but if you get to spend every day with your best friend, it's very comfortable.
Texan in Tokyo sounds to me like a good way to live
I keep coming back to this video... something about it is just so honest and comforting. I know you don't do videos anymore but I hope you know your videos still make an impact on us. :)
I miss y’alls videos so much ❤️
The part when he said "I'm gonna buy Captain America toys" just made my day :)
Xenocide Captain America toys make me happy (Ryosuke)
+Texan in Tokyo Why isn't there a Captain Japan? :D
Its been 5 years now. Hopefully both of you are doing fine.
I love her attitude in her videos. She's so cheerful and outgoing. It's nice to see a youtuber in Japan who isn't constantly complaining about how different it in from the US. She just earned a new subscriber!! :D
These are my favorite kind of videos, simple and just a day in the life! So happy I subscribed ^_^
Scheherazade East Yay! I'm glad!
Not boring at all! I love seeing other people's day-in-the-life's! :D
I miss u guys!! I was reading your books last night. So happy you left the vlogs up xxxx
HAHA, Ayaka looks the exact same as you or worse when I wake her up. Great video, very interesting. Cool insight on the freelancer lifestyle.
OkanoTV Haha, really? Glad to know I'm not alone. Lol
Texan in Tokyo Yep! But at least you wake up peacefully. Ayaka....not so much haha
Thats a really good technique you have taught me. When lacking motivation, stop what you're doing and instead do something you hate, such as running, or any other boring activity like chores, and then you will feel motivated to keep working on what you were doing in the first place, because you dont feel like doing that other thing you hate. I will apply that to my life when Im lacking motivation, thanks!
That's so fun to see how your average day is in Tokyo. Thanks for sharing and no it wasn't boring. My college life video would be so busy and filled with interesting places, maybe I should make one.
Marcel Stevahn Hahaha, thanks! Do it!
Your attitude to running is so relatable pahaha -the 14 minutes flew by while watching your video!☺️ lots of love from Ireland! x
You have such a nice, laid back and productive lifestyle in Japan. Can't wait to see the video of you and Ryosuke speaking Japanese to each other!
I don't know how I found your channel, but it's fantastic! Love seeing what you guys are up to... I've always wanted to travel to Japan and I'm learning a lot by watching your videos. Keep up the good work.
Going to watch all 30 of these again lol miss you guys alot there"s not alot of good content anymore on here ...hope you're doing well :')
I find day-in-the-life videos from any one interesting. I guess I just find it fascinating. Also, I just ordered (and pre-ordered!) Your books! I'm really excited to read them!
Erisan S Awwww, thanks! And thanks for ordering my books - I hope you like them!
Some people may see this video as mundane - but not me !!!!
Thanks for sharing your day !!!!
Wahhh you guys wake up so early! It is so nice of you to wake up and accompany Ryosuke before he goes to work. I would probably just sleep in, hahaha.
Loved the idea of running in order to get motivation to write again.
I would love to see more of these types of videos. ^^ Thank you for letting us see your daily routine and being true to your viewers (unlike other youtubers who magically wake up fully made up...lol).
***** Yup. I wanted to give a "real" window.
I don't wake up so early ALL the time - but I try to at least 3-4 times a week.
Enjoyed this!
Gimmeaflakeman Thanks :D
I loved this!
And I would love seeing more, like if you ever go to a super unique market, or a park or square or something.
I know this is over a year old but
SO glad I found your channel! Your videos are fantastic! Definitely subscribing! ❤️
ikr! i just found her channel and got stuck to this like for an hour..
and now i'm going to do the "A Day in My life" marathon! lmao XD

I really loved this video. Besides showing life in Japan, you showed how loving a couple's routine can be. You guys are amazing! I'm definitely buying your book on amazon!! :)
yup!!! I just bought your book!
Andy V Yay! Thank sos much :DGlad to hear!
I love your Day in My Life and longer videos so much. plz give us more...
Still watch this from time to time. These day in my life videos are so soothing.
Wah, the first episode of this came out on my birthday. So cool. I always enjoy watching these even if you think it's something completely random, seeing a snapshot into another culture and country is always interesting.
actually, i really like these kinds of videos for some reason. it may be just your average day in japan but i find it really interesting. it's nice and simple, and it kind of makes me feel like home, you know what i mean? also, you are ryosuke are a really cute couple, you guys make me smile a whole lot
Namiko Kuriyama Hahahaha, thanks :D
I just love you guys! You guys are adorable and totally seem like people I could see me and my husband hanging out with :)
Breanna Rose-Arreguin THANKS!!
I love these types of videos! It's always so interesting to see what it's like for others lead their life on the other side of the world. Thanks for sharing Grace! And oh, I'm looking forward to the video where you both speak Japanese! :D
Idk why I love day in my life videos, but these are definitely my favorite
My favorite video grace!!!!!! I love seeing other people's days etc. Ryosuke works a long day! Man I bet he's exhausted but at the same time I bet you are ready to see him
I can't believe this was your first "A Day In My Life" video. Each video has gotten better over time. Loved your recent one on your trip to Ghana!
+Benny Luong Thanks! I can't believe it either!!! I NEVER thought they'd be this popular, hahahaha. I'm working on my 2nd (and last) one in Ghana right now!
Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is actually really nice! It's good to see a video of the American-female perspective of someone living in Japan. I was stationed in Okinawa for two years and now I'm in Fort Bliss. Watching Jvloggers makes me feel that nostalgia again! 😅
Can't wait to watch more! 👍🏾
I love your channel. I left Tokyo in 2012 and I am quite homesick, so following you around in this video is such a treat
I still like to re-watch these :D
I loved watching this. Please do more videos on what you eat day-to-day and how you prepare your food in your kitchen. I would love that!
It was so interesting to see your typical daily life in Japan!!
you guys are adorable! Ryosuke drinks his coffee black, i like his style!
+Bradley Maroney Black coffee for y'all!
Thanks for sharing a day of your life in Japan! It is really refreshing to look at scenes from another part of the world (I live in NY state right now). My girlfriend and I are doing the long distance thing, which is how I stumbled upon your blog and your channel!
As a Texan, I love watching your videos! Much love from the Lone Star State!

😂 who would steal a table?
+Mary JieZoe you would be surprised...
I love these so much! So interested in visiting Japan one day after I study up on my Japanese!
Waking up at 5am to study and having your own time... That's an awesome habit to have
I love day in the life videos! It's interesring to see how other people go about their daily lives :3
i love your videos! i am also a Texan hoping to visit Japan one day, so seeing someone from the same place as me living somewhere i'd like to go is very interesting! keep up the good work~!
Watching this makes me want to go to Japan even more. Hopefully one day i am able too.One thing that i dont understand is, how on earth can people wake up sooo early?? My house could be on fire and i will still be in bed saying "five more minutes" lol

I'm so glad I found your channel!! I'm a Texan as well!! Great upload, not boring at all...extremely interesting, in fact!! Thank you!!
That was fun watching, especially seeing how everyday life is so similar everywhere in the world.
Cheers from Germany! ;)
Omg I'm like salivating over your lunch! Rice and fish (+miso) is always my favorite meal and to think they have my beloved sashimi salmon for so cheap and easy to get exxxcciiittesss meee! I learned something new today ^.^
Kari senpai! If/when we move back to America, I'm TOTALLY going to miss all the fresh fish!
Thanks for making this video, it gives me a more realistic view of life in Japan. since I will be over in Japan soon for my language study. Hope to maybe be able to meet up with you guys. 私はあなたの一番ファンです！
I loveeeeee Vlooogsssss please do more they are super interesting and fun even if you are just doing your everyday routines
This was great! I'm sure you don't feel like your life is interesting but don't underestimate people's desire to see how others live! Very fun and you guys are so cute :)
I love this cideo, thank you for making it! It makes me even more excited to visit Japan one day! :)
This was fun to watch. Please make more videos!
Ryosuke-san is Mr. Smiley! He positive attitude is contagious.
This was so interesting! I love you guys and I think it's really cool that you'd show us a "day in the life" video. Also, your comics look so cute! I really want to buy one :-)
Ryosuke is great - what a keeper! Laundry AND Food? That's great. :) Hope the veggies come back soon.
I love your approach to lunch, rice, fresh salmon and soy sauce, so simple and super delicous! I also like that you try to buy local, one of the most important things when it comes to buy food IMHO. And I'm glad there are more "no coffee = bad mood coffee = everything is fine" - people haha
Flown87 I like to buy local... it just kind of feels easier. And I prefer simple food (time-wise it's a LOT easier to make, too!)
I lived in Japan for 3 months this summer and your video made me miss it so much!
Your day in the life was adorable! Thank's for sharing :)
Ryosuke seems so great, you have a real prize there :')
spooky blooms I totally do~!
I love it! I think it's really interesting that you do all of these stuff!
+Christine Jiang Thanks for saying that~
+Texan in Tokyo your welcome!
You two are amazingly awesome!
not boring at all! easy and interesting to watch. great how you put the timings on too :-)
I’m such a fan been watching forever so sad that they stopped TH-cam but sometimes I come back and re watch their videos, feel so happy watching them to know humans like these exist
This was actually pretty cool.
I'm glad I subbed and stayed with you guys from the start!
Nice video I liked the motivation trick with the running :p
About the editing program most people that have windows use adobe premiere pro but it requires a powerful pc and is pretty complicated. They offer a free trail though so you can check it out.
Alex Di Hmmm. I will put that on my list! Thanks!
Texan in Tokyo Premiere and Sony Vegas are pretty much the only professional applications you can use for video editing on Windows. Everything else is... less professional. Not shit but just not the real deal. Adobe also offers a subscription service where you pay a relatively small fee per month and then you can use their software. That might be cheaper than buying Premier especially since you can cancel the service if you decide that the workflow required for Premier is not working for you.
In a Mac you'd have Final Cut as well and iMovies which is a more fancy Windows Movie Maker. Much like iTunes compared to Windows Media Player.
I never get bored watching your videos =) also, I am hoping to order your comic books real soon!!!
I would love to see daily vlogs from you ^^ I find them fun and interesting :DDD
The more of your videos I see and your articles I read, the more I love you guys :)
I've also noticed that your videos pretty much always offer some kind of new insight or valuable perspective on things, rather than a lot of other Japan-related videos that I feel tend to get a little carried away with the over-dramatised "look how weird and different Japan is!" kind of line.
I'm really interested in hearing a little more one day about your time at boarding school in Japan (how it came about and if there were many other international students there too, or if it was a total super-intense Japanese immersion environment that you threw yourself into, if that makes sense), and more about what it was like in the other countries you've lived/grown up in. It's really interesting to me. I can't wait until I can live overseas myself (starting with a full-year exchange to Japan later this year:D ). :)
I'm sorry for the long comment. Thanks again for the content you post^^
sjukhus01 Hahahaha - I might actually do a "Draw My Life" Video sometime - those seem to be REALLY popular. And I think I had a pretty odd childhood.
Texan in Tokyo That sounds awesome haha, I bet you'd have lots to talk about. If you get the chance go for it please! :D
Really loved this video. I just discovered your videos about a week ago when a watched a rachel and jun video. I just think your videos are awesome!
I use to binge watch these videos and they have inspired me to visit or even move to Japan one day. I love you guys so much. And miss you guys ALOT. I respect your decision to leave TH-cam and raise your child CONGRATULATIONS AND THANK YOU!!! 💖💖💖💖💖
That was great! What you think is boring is so interesting to me! We all hear and see so much about the "exciting" parts of Japan, I want to know more about the mundane! Love these videos. :D
***** I like the mundane stuff the most :D
Texan in Tokyo Then I look forward to more "mundane" videos from you in the future! ^_^
Loved the video and for some weird reason I got excited when you showed us your camera because I think I might have the same. Is it a Canon Ixus 220HS? They might have different names in the USA though if you bought it there...mmh...
Keep up the good work! :D I'm also a freelancer but in Germany!
WAIT WHAT. I never would have thought I'd find my favorite German TH-camr commenting on one of my favorite Japanese/American couple's video! (Ich liebe Ihre Videos! Sie sind der Beste! :D)
Guys just discovered your videos, sooo late! :( You are super sweet and all I talk about now is going to Japan. Cheers from London
Ahh finalllllyyyyyyyyy!!! Thank you for this Grace-San
Demi Rose Rockwell :D
I love these kinds of "day in a life" type videos. I found yours interesting as well! I also can't wait until the video of you both speaking Japanese. Will that be soon?
Roxzaney Yup. I just finished editing it today! I have two other videos that I will (probably) publish before that one - but hopefully it will come out next week!
Its more exciting than my life lol... I wish I could do what I love and work from home. Enjoyed your videos. :)
it was actually lovely to see your day. as a freelance translator (expat) in Mauritius, i can totally relate to your routine and personally i love your lifestyle. i've just discovered your channel today, i'll make sure to check your other videos, too.
LOL YAY!
You may think people don't care or aren't interested but hey I AM !
I really found this very interesting and cute :)
You made me super hungry with that yummy food btw lol
And where you live is beautiful so thanks for showing us ♥
XxNeonBunniexX Thanks! It's a bit crowded, but I love the area~
I think this is the first time I'm doing this, commenting that is. I find your life very interesting. Thank you for sharing and I look forward to seeing more. Have a wonderful life.
This was really interesting! I just finished my Freshman year of college and I'm a Japanese major and International Business minor. I plan to live in Japan later on, this is really interesting! I love how cute a couple you and your husband are!! Keep up the amazing comics and interesting videos!!
0Tenshi-no-Tsubasa0 Good luck in college!
Texan in Tokyo ありがとうございます！
I love the average day life videos. Because it shows what normal everyday life is like in Japan. Watching this has also got me excited for my planned move to Yokohama in 2018 xD
You are so adorable Grace :) And props for the Perry the Platypus key, that is so cool!
Isaen ET Hahaha, thanks! We love Perry~
That's a lot better than mine. I'm usually home all day, especially in the winter. Lol. I love to hibernate when is cold. Summer is my favorite time. Stay warm.
Brea Natsuko Huff I knowwww. I wish it was summer again. It's so cold.
We are fixin to get another 3 to 5 inches of snow tomorrow. *Wishing I was on a nice warm sunny beach somewhere *
I've been a subscriber for at least the last 6 months, and some how beyond my understanding, I just found this vid series! Soo gunna run through the series right now! I love so many other random vids I've seen from you guys but I've been missing out till now! XD
unalochy Haha good luck with that! Thanks :)
Haha I just found this channel it seems awesome!
+Sam West Because that would be stealing.
This is so nice! keep up the good work!
I'm obsess with your videos of "A Day In My Life" I had no idea I like those kind of videos, but sure love yours!
Abrazos desde Chile!
