“It’s like a gift from the earth” is such a beautiful sentiment. It’s the small everyday moments of gratitude that build a happy life.

[@albrumn]

Some kid says his body looks stiff once. Then he goes on to become a certified yoga instructor. 🤯 Aki doesn’t mess around.

[@TuireNerg]

I go to the sauna every day and it really does wonders. In the winter I also go to the snow bath. I also do forest bathing, it gives me peace of mind. Thank you your lovely video.

[@laranjito7]

I started cleaning my house everyday, feeling grateful for small things and things I already got. And I just made it because your great content! May God bless you greatly!

[@Ozma2086]

I really love this precious man who shares some of Japan's secrets with us 💜 Also! Look at him loving his Vicks inhaler stick!! ;) And the cute way he says 'alaDEEN pants' ;) we know them as Ah-Lad-din pants. I follow all his tips and I feel so much better for it. Bless this man 🙏 and protect him during his journey. 💜

[@barbarashirland9078]

You are an inspiration!

Riding my "Bio"-Bike to go to work each day, Yoga, some little workout every second day (around 10min), Walking in the forest and doing some hikes, taking as much and often as Possible the stairs and healthy food is my Routine to stay fit and healthy. I lost more than 30kg of weight. Sometimes I still feel uncomfortable because of my pear-shaped Body but Most of the time...I'm fine with it

[@IHealLiving]

I feel you. My late teens and 20’s I felt always tired and sick… I changed my lifestyle and ate more water rich foods daily. Now I’m in my mid 30’s and it feels amazing! I feel like I’m 10… in a good way 😂 Now once I finish school, I will be helping others feel the same way. Very rewarding job. Love that others are promoting this too! Thanks for the video 😁

[@Esther-ps3vx]

Your videos are very inspiring. Thank you for sharing your routine and knowledge.

[@MarteLedesma]

You always inspire me to be a better person, one moment at a time. Arigatou Aki 🙏 🙇

[@ndm0227]

You are a consistently joyful presence on KZbin, どもありがとございました！

[@Saknika]

I love that these are a combination of "so simple you can do it in your own space" to "a bit more complicated, you might have to go somewhere". The variety means there's something for everyone, and it actually feels obtainable, not just something an influencer shows us for a payout. 💜

[@尤志捷]

Hi,Aki! I'm your high school college. I find your vidio because I study English just now.

[@CRISNCHIPS12398]

Good luck with your English studies! You can do it :)

[@edittutsandsounds]

I didn’t know I could love a video this much! The vibes, the informations, the ideas…everything!

[@Carausius92]

I do 5-6 out of those 10 method regularly, and yes even with just half of those it really does significant effect. Its quite often people confused or asked on how i stay in shape, building micro-habits is seriously powerful.

[@allagrona5168]

Ми незнайомі але ви мені як близький товариш, дякую вам❤️⚘️

[@calvin.somerville]

Aki! I just love your vibe you are so sweet and genuine. Your videos bring me such joy! Keep shining bright!

[@Matt-es1wn]

Morning walk is the best, always feels so amazing

[@adriankohr1568]

I love your content so much! So inspiring and I love the positive attitude!

[@Turtlpwr]

We need more people like you in the world, good sir

[@Weenus53]

Mr. Matcha, thank you so much. I always seem to find your channel when I find that my life needs a reset and your wisdom helps inspire me. I can see your happiness. I can also see that you live this way of life and are doing very well with a few possessions. You’re one of my favorite people. Thank you.

[@josheehan6026]

Thanks for reminding us to stretch instead of social media! 🎉

[@nariu7times328]

I would love you to show us one of your yoga routines. :)

[@Nguyenvantaibg2k2]

Thank you for this very useful information🎉❤❤❤

[@AM-bm2xw]

I love the "little by little" mentality, good stuff Aki.

[@IzzyOnTheMove]

Sauna will add years to your life! I used to do stretches on the Skytrain in Vancouver. With the movement and holding to the poles, it helped heal a back problem I had😅 I'm bothered when it's-20C and can't go for a walk (the wind can be brutal here in Québec by the river)

[@urban_phantom7750]

Modern day Samurai have a big challenge - to live in harmony with nature, and other human beings, whilst retaining dignity and virtue in an age where such things no longer matter to the rest of our society. Thank you for this video, and may you receive the blessing of long life and good fortune

[@OliverSeager-b1m]

Just finished great video thanks to you I’m living a better life Arigato Arigato

[@ontheotherside3968]

Great advice! I had a rough past year so watching this gave me energy of thought! Thank you very much

[@danap6486]

Do you have a link to where you get your clothes ? Love them! Love your videos!

[@karebear326]

I would love to see a video about japanese tips when you are sick. «sick day habits video» What do you eat when your sick? What do you do? Take medicine and sleep or do you have other habits that are useful?

[@SamuraiMatcha]

sick day habits video! Got it!!

[@LydiaKim-e9o]

I have been watching you for a while. I like the way you have evolved. You have been inspiring me. I am 65 years old female but I can relate to you. I wish I lived in Japan. I am in USA .

[@lynnmichelle5482]

All I can say is......wow! ❤

[@HenkBartl]

I tried cold shower and the only change is that I ve gotten relatively used to it but my health didn’t skyrocketed. Versus workout in the mornings really did skyrocket my health more. Fascinating we are around the same age.

[@Topher-D77]

You're very kind and generous. Thank you for your help and advice ❤

[@Ranger-Luke]

Hey Aki, A video on your 10 min workouts/exercises would be great! Lots of love from the UK.

[@Exexists]

Thank you, I would like to watch 10 minutes of yoga/stretch/workout.

[@FuesunHa]

I couldn't survive in Germany without Sauna in the winter. Its soo cold here. After my weightlifting in Fitness studio my gift is the Sauna for relaxation thats sooo nice. I love it. We are doing a lot of similar things. I am also stretching a lot because I don't want to loose my flexibility. Have a nice weekend! Thank you for your 8 simple habits!!! 🤗🤗

[@Ayamgoengg]

Greetings from Indonesia 🇮🇩 I always love ur video! Idk but it vibrates positivity and I feel calm and joy after. I just did my push up and squat today thanks to you! Keep posting positive videos like this Aki. Thankyou for always humble too 😁😁

Thank you, Aki san, for sharing your life changing practices.

[@sleepymonsteraddict]

I am soon starting my exams and this is always a period in which I develop unhealthy habits and feel very tired. You made this video at the perfect moment for me! I will try out these habits from tomorrow, hopefully I feel more energized and ready to study!

[@Chaitogether]

Oh my goodness!! I am so happy to see your channel growth 😊❤

[@emeksb4823]

Great tips Aki.

[@childlikejoy]

We always, always go for the stairs not escalators or elevators! My work has 9 flights of stairs and I'll do them at least once a day! Cor the energy it gives you!! ❤🎉

[@AnnaCestovatel]

Hello, I enjoy your videos, it is super beneficial and relaxing.👌🏻 Looking forward to see the next one!👏🏻

[@siona405]

❤Good to hear from you Aki. Thank you for the motivations.

[@kathrinscharrer3923]

Good morning Aki! Greetings from Madrid, where I always encounter lovely people from my neighborhood on my morning walks ( there are now two morning walks: one fast, one slow, because our dog is 14 and can't do the fast one any more).

[@SriYukteswarGiri]

Aki, it would be great if you could make a video about your yoga routine, for example the shoulder area, especially for moms with children or people who have to sit a lot, that would be so helpful P.S. I also take a cold shower and since then my susceptibility to colds has improved enormously with seasonal changes etc. I started it because of good blood flow, but I didn't expect this "side effect" :))

[@softsomos]

You inspire me to do my best everyday, thanks

[@avelina2738]

thank you so much for this video, it's so useful and inspiring. and your smile brings happiness. I'm gonna try this routine asap

[@songsparrow4324]

Wonderful!! Thank you!!

[@Ankjell]

This was inspiring my tomodachi

[@AngelaDavis-yz3xf]

Thank you Aki. Any tips on enjoying the long winter season?

[@saboten7770]

i really wanna just walk out of my house and take a walk but my neighbourhood is full of stray dogs and theyre not nice to me at all 😭😭

[@janicem9225]

My neighborhood is full of idiots, so it's hard to walk much outside.

[@doro8856]

Take treats for them and they'll soon become your best friends. : )

[@verityveritas5857]

oh that's not good at all… They say dogs can sense stress hormones in humans, like cortisol. Perhaps they won't chase you if you are more relaxed and less scared if them

[@ppnovoir]

One tip I would like to give you as someone who has a reactive dog. Please, pleaaseeee ignore their presence like the plague wherever you walk. If they are barking or growling, whichever form of sound at you, prioritize to calm your heart. Don’t make eye contact at all times haha, now if they are intently looking at you, stay still to calm your heart and walk away without turning your back at them if you got to see them in front of you, not behind you until you get to a corner of the street. Walking as if I didn’t see them is the action I do the most. While they are going to try sniffing you, and they probably will since it’s them trying to acknowledge someone in their territory, just W A L K aaaaaaa can’t emphasize it enough. Now, if you’re really scareddd, try to investigate or analyze how each dog behaves so you can know which to watch out for in the foreseeable future.

[@Epiphonus9]

Pepper gel or a stungun could protect you from the dogs and some other residents of your neighborhood.

[@janeeshathathsarani9978]

You are soo humble man❤.Thank you 💐

[@iroshanaminiweligama9311]

Hi hi Aki, its amazing vedio. Great work . My gratitude to u. Hv a wonderful day !

[@james_150_]

Oh wow, Aki with his shirt off 😅. I'm glad you highlight 'free' exercise rather than gyms. Walking and taking the stairs are good habits. I also think a simple ten minute strength workout - with whatever exercises you like - is essential as you get older.

[@stvrstrvck]

One habit I do that I've noticed improve my own life is going outside during breaks during the day. The sun rises at 9.30am and sets at 2.30pm here during the winter, so that small bit of sunlight really does make a difference!

[@bernadinecabanas331]

Thank you Aki ❤But I don’t have a tatami ! All I have is a rubber yoga mat. You are Blessed Aki 😉 It’s true yoga relieve the pain. When I stopped doing it because I was busy, I have more neck pains. 😅but it takes a few minutes to do it ! Thank you for the reminder.🙏

[@Skizze37]

Very cool! I'm so glad you did this, thank you! ☺️

[@finance485]

Love your videos! Very inspirational.

[@cassandraplatz4454]

Thank you, these are super tips that I feel I can easily incorporate into my day. I will start with the morning walk.

Arigato. It’s a benefit to mind and body to have family to help at home. Take good care.

[@acrobaticanna]

Thanks for the information about the phytoncides that plants give us. That's so powerful. I never knew exactly what was happening when I spent time bush walking in Aussie (Australian) bush. It's always an amazing experience experience!!

[@c_cma1971]

Hello from Bucharest, Romania - a huge underrated city in Europe:)

[@DavidMonroe-x6n]

Hi Aki! Love your info and ideas. Can you provide more details (names) for the “loose clothing” items - shirt, jackets, pants - shown in your video? Thanks!

[@MariaJose-no4qu]

Wow your tips are really useful. I'm really impressed with your own yoga routine. Please, could you make a video with a yoga routine to practise at home? Thank you 🙏🏻

[@EttieneIsEtti]

[@juniorleit478]

Gracias

[@loxleybattle2591]

Great tips!❤

[@Saiarts_yt]

Some of daily habits that keep me in shape are having morning ritual, cold showers, and what might sound new to you is having lemon water every morning mixed with honey. Then I do my 10 minute workout every other day doing 10 push ups, 10 squats, and 5 banded rows/inverted rows every minute on the minute for 10 minutes or for rounds of 10.

[@jesslatinaalemana]

I really like that one !!

[@simoncollingridge1992]

I ❤this! 👍

[@serendipitysisters84]

Oh wow!! Ever since I heard that cold water showers are good for you, I always end my shower with cold water! I always thought that was cheating, but now I see it’s not haha

[@AbuBakrAliHJ]

I recently just watched your channel and I love it so much
