A Day in My Life (#7): Life of a YouTuber

Welcome to another day in my life out here in rural Japan. Today was a pretty laid-back day, with lots of writing and drawing.
This is the season I like the most - when it's warm and relaxing (but not TOO hot).
As always, thanks for watching~!

[@RachelandJun]

Jun totally does that "It tastes amazing!!" thing whenever I cook anything, even if it's completely different from what I meant it to be, haha He just doesn't know how good it's SUPPOSED to be

[@TexaninTokyo]

Rachel & Jun One of the many joys in life :D

[@talkthruthenight2299]

I CANNOT believe that people have the nerve to tell you that you neglect your blog!! You've been working so hard, posting videos, publishing your book etc, it's so rude of them to police you... Thank you for your hard work, I love your blog posts, your videos & of course your comics. Also, when Ryosuke called you "peach lady" I couldn't help but think of Prince's track "Peach" haha

[@YoshikazuHayashi]

How I love your "another day in my life in Japan"! Gosh it's so plain and so special at the same time!

[@Athlynne]

Thank you for your videos, especially these day-in-a-lifes. I know you think they're boring, but they're so calming for me. This may sound weird, but I have chronic pain issues and watching you and Ryosuke be cute and dorky together always makes me feel better. So thanks and keep 'em coming! :)

[@holl3iemarie]

You guys work so hard puting out videos and your work totally doesnt go unnoticed! Always making me smile!

[@silviemonk5556]

I'd just like to thank you guys for renting movies instead of stealing them. I've worked in the film industry for 30 years, and each year it gets harder to find work and the pay is lower when you do find it because investors have stopped investing in films (they don't make any money when the films end up on pirate sites). When people download stuff for free, they just don't realize how it affects the lives of people. Really, thank you so so much!

[@WhisperofaGhost]

Silvie Monk Word!

[@shadowofintent9393]

+Silvie Monk It feels really good when you download 1080p movies for free.

[@XDSDDLord]

Your issues aren't investors, Hollywood is making more money than ever, even though piracy is near all time high, your issue is rich people thinking they can get away with paying poor people less to make themselves richer. Don't take it out on the people who can't afford to lease a movie for $40, take it out on the people who can afford to pay you and your family a decent wage for your work but choose to pad their own bank accounts with more zeros instead.

[@thariena]

I like these Day in My Life videos, they're calming and really fun. That park looks so nice! It's amazing that you can work there. It's really fun to see some of the nature/neighbourhood. And how can you draw such straight lines! I'm terrible at those.

[@TexaninTokyo]

thariena Practice!!! Hahaha. I used to be horrible at drawing straight lines. It's, like, painful to go through my earlier comics because the lines are so off.

[@javakuppa3346]

Your skin is so clear and amazing! Lucky woman.

[@thelwilliams94]

I really enjoy your videos and your books are really really fun to read! I really love it when you say little things without putting in subtitles, because I can just about work out what you're saying, so it's even more fun! Thanks Grace and Ryosuke!

[@garlicNeggplant]

I'm always impressed at your ability to make multiple comics everyday. I keep a blog to force myself to just draw something everyday, with the goal that I can get better at comics and how they flow. It helps, and seeing you do it is encouraging!

[@klaudek60]

Hello Guys ! I've been watching your vlogs since few months and I have to say it finally: You are fantastic people!! I am really impressed by your hobbies Grace, You've got artistic skills, record a vlog, write a blog, speak japanese, for me you are just amazing and Ryosuke too .He really seems to be good husband, he take care of you and except that he's so fuuny. Keep it going guys, I wish you all the best ! Greetings from Poland :D

[@MissManicMuffin]

I love these "A Day in My Life" videos! I have only been subscribed for a very short time - (found your videos after binge watching far too many Japan apartment tours!), and I got hooked right away! What I like about these day in the life videos is that they are simple, relaxing, and just, nice. It's hard to explain but watching these videos is just very therapeutic. Can't wait to see more (and of course your other videos :P)

[@mrjiggleboobsmcsugartits492]

I love the day in your life in Japan videos! Keep it up!

[@awkwardbutawesome4022]

I have been missing you all and re-watching your videos. My 9 year old just came in and watched a while with me. She commented that you were her favorite youtuber that I watch. I don't know if you still check comments but still wanted to share 😊

[@CarolynnMarkey]

does strawberry shortcake have milk in it? It would here :P I love these days in your life....... looks so cozy and fun, and I REALLY like seeing the food you eat!

[@justatinyhalfling]

Seeing you work your way through your day actually motivates me to do the same. And this is just one of the many reasons why your videos are awesome!

[@1rgam3r]

Here in Oregon, there is "Redbox". Basically a vending machine business for movies and some video games. It's doing crazy well. Infact, they pretty much shut down to major video business here: Blockbuster and Hollywood Video. Both were "brick and mortar" business and didn't make the transition well and folded.

[@daracubin6543]

Yep youve done it again, these videos that you two make are just so nice(and not at all boring) I think its becasue you give us you...from first thing in the morning til last thing at night...thank you Grace and Ryosuke

[@holl3iemarie]

You guys work so hard putting out videos and cant thank you enough for making me smile. I also dont take a lot of time putting on makeup and i dont even care most of the time. Thanks again! :)

[@TexaninTokyo]

Yaaay!! Thank you for being so supportive! I like it! We just love making people laugh / smile :) (Ryosuke)

[@holl3iemarie]

you're welcome!!!!! :D

[@Jona-xq9rl]

never ever stop making youtube videos and drawing comics i will hate you if you do . please continue the good job this is me trying to be supportive :)

[@YosoyMariana]

Japanese parks are so beautiful and relaxing! And so much better if you can go at 11:00 am :)

[@adorabell4253]

I love your make up routine! It's perfect for giving you just enough definition to look good on camera and still look exactly like you. You looks so pretty.

[@JackSparrow-uu3mw]

Omg Ryosuke! Coffee makes me so sleepy too. Which is weird, cuz its suppose to boost your energy but no...we're just weirdos I guess. There should be a "coffee makes me sleepy" club.

[@thewayoutisthru4697]

Jack Sparrow coffee releases your own supply of adrenaline because caffeine is a neurotoxin. after that adrenaline rush, you will feel fatigued after. happens to everyone.

[@DanteOokami]

Jack Sparrow Huh, I'm glad to see that I'm not one the only one who gets sleepy after coffee.

[@Vulcapyro]

the way out is thru do you not understand what a neurotoxin is or is this just a mistake

[@nanasaruu]

Jack Sparrow My friend says that coffee and caffeine in general helps her sleep because it calms her down- she has ADHD. Apparently even though caffeine works as a stimulant for most people, it actually helps relax people who are ADHD.

[@Seethemusicalcolors]

Caffine always makes me so sleepy. Sugar is what really makes me hyper.

[@tagicalsanityx1324]

I love Ryosuke!!!!! He always makes my day. He is so funny and cute!!!! ♡

[@TexaninTokyo]

Emii Pelaez Haha I am so happy to hear that! I feel loved ~ :) (Ryosuke)

[@MalkavianGhoul]

I came prepared this time and had food to eat before I watched this video lol. That way you weren't able to torture me with the new and delicious sounding meals you guys make :) BTW Grace I really like your drawing style, to me it's really cute and fits your personality if that makes any sense at all lol.

[@dandelionclock]

I love your A Day in My Life videos, keep them coming!! ^^

[@wall-flower7641]

I just love how simple you are

[@nickynoodles81]

I work from home and I also love the freedom to work outside on a nice day. Glare on the screen was always a problem until I bought an "iCap Notebook Tent". Takes all the glare away and folds up small ... recommended :)

[@TexaninTokyo]

nickynoodles81 I will check that out - thanks!

[@intheinaka]

I love the little setup you have for your camera - I always think I'm being unprofessional when I balance my tripod or camera on top of random bits of furniture or piles of books to get the right shot, so it's good to know other people do it too!

[@Andermani]

You guys are quite the pair of busy bees... I get exhausted just watching these! It's nice to get a peek at y'all's day-to-day and see how the self-employed live.

[@heyyariella]

yay~~ thanks!! I always get excited when you post them!!! Also I think you are really awesome for being so diligent with your work and everything!

[@TeaBunny]

I'm going to be living in Tokyo starting August, so watching your vlogs makes me so excited for when I'll be vlogging over there too

[@MyKoreanHusband]

Hugh eats EVERYTHING. So I'm lucky in that sense. Some of our other friends who are similar couples (Korean guy/Aussie girl), the husband still only wants Korean food and don't appreciate when they make good western food. I'm glad Hugh likes everything haha. I like your little outside area, it's cute. I wish we had something like that... but it's like all space is for farming here.. and the seat platform things out near the road are for older people, I'm not comfortable sitting out there... being one of the youngest people in our village haha..

[@TexaninTokyo]

MyKoreanHusband I am glad Hugh eats everything! Way to go~ Ryosuke gets so excited to see new things / food and sometime regret his decisions... haha

[@TopazTaryth]

Haven't gotten 1 minute into the video and I have to say, Enrique, that is an AWESOME way to keep your snacks close - an upside down poop hat! PURE GENIUS!

[@AikoNishimura_7]

I just recently found your channel but I binge-watch your videos because they're absolutely adorable and they make me happy, no matter how my day went :)

[@ManjaMog]

Yes same!! never fails to make my day a little happier

[@tokyokapi1203]

I really really enjoy your 'Day in my Life'-Videos even tho(or maybe because) my life looks so completely different! I just need a huge, buzzing city around me. I also almost never cook and or get up before noon if I don't really have to. It's awesome to get a so honest and unprettified view into someone elses live here! Please keep on making these videos!

[@TexaninTokyo]

TokyOkapi Yay, I'm so glad to hear you like them!!

[@tokyokapi1203]

Do you really read very comment? O.o

[@brielle8383]

I love watching these "Day in my life" videos sooo much. I don't always comment, because I know how many comments you receive, but it just seemed like a perfect day there, so I wanted to share my appreciation for you sharing it. I love watching the two of you interact, just too cute. I love watching you prepare food, go to the park and work and it was awesome to see the comic sketching. Really can not express how much joy these videos bring to my day. Not to mention giving me a glimpse into life in Japan, daily life that is. Have to ask though, what was Ryosuke wearing around his head at the start of the video, the dangling thing??? You are both great!

[@3DJapan]

I rent movies from Redbox all the time. It's cheaper than renting online or On Demand. And yes since I work from home too I also often forget what day it is.

[@Tib1010]

It's Sunday :)

[@3DJapan]

Tenzing Dhondup It is here. In Tokyo it's Monday.

[@jason4275]

Phil Nolan I stop since people are stealing the original and replacing them with print out paper copies of the disk, to trick the machines.

[@3DJapan]

jason4275 That sucks but how does it hurt you?

[@jason4275]

Phil Nolan no refunds you lose your money if you get a fake game or movie

[@sherry866]

Great video, you two look so happy and are so considerate of one another !! More " day in the life" videos Please !!

[@yunadestined]

Nice video as always, although I would've loved to see even just a bit of what it's like or how you and Ryosuke did your grocery shopping in your video. Either way, it was nice to have a glimpse of your daily life in this video. Keep up the great work! :)

[@TexaninTokyo]

Janoel Tabug Next time! I need to keep SOME things hidden, so people will keep watching them~

[@noraMD]

You should do some cooking video about japanese recipes!

[@isabellaleyton3355]

I just read your books! They were so good, thanks for letting them free for three days. I am a student and I live in Chile so I couldn't afford them before. Hope to read more of your work 😊

[@TheBboingBboing]

loving these day in the life videos!

[@nktigger99]

Every Time I see you draw your comics on video I am just in totally awe of your talent!!

[@TexaninTokyo]

Nichole Bird Thanks!! yay

[@libbytwzz2032]

For some reason, I find these immensely entertaining. Lol. I hope to see more of these and your other videos in general.

[@rogueofthecraft]

I love these vlogs! ^_^ Thank you for sharing another day in your life with us!

[@HeshX]

Ive fallen into a deep dark pit of J-vloggers recently and i think you guys are my fave so far (honorable mention to Rachel & Jun and Abroad In Japan) Please keep up the amazing work. I totally intend to buy a comic book on etsy when I get my next paycheck.

[@iwadre1369]

Coffee makes me sleepy too. Glad I'm not the only one. I love to drink a cup and then go back to bed for a nap;)

[@amyphillips7326]

Loved the bit when you were creating your comic. It was really interesting!

[@JennaNoManga]

I have to keep an eye on my daughter otherwise I'd love to write and draw there. I love the slow pace life in your vid^^

[@InariDoll]

Ryosuke looks so cute with glasses! Hope to see more of these videos

[@kalmond213]

Love your channel! I love learning about different cultures and Japanese culture holds a special place in my heart:) Your life seems idyllic!

[@jakubmakalowski6428]

The pumpkin version of that tofu is so good!

[@tvettexx2080]

I really love your "Day In My Life" videos they interest me so much (: I love it when you guys cook and see the foods you eat ^.^

[@fantasyk87]

I really love these kind of videos :) even if nothing major happens, it just feels so realaxing!

[@HolyAnchor]

grace your so amazing, ryoskaye your so cool!!! you guys are my favorite channel :P:P:P

[@TexaninTokyo]

+Josh mj Oh yaaay Thanks!!

[@BawesomeBurf]

You're so lucky to be able to work outside like that, I would love to do that. Haven't had hash in a while, but I think I will be making some soon. Great video! :)

[@babyerv69]

I love your videos! My mom is from Okinawa! I enjoy watching you!

[@jazziered142]

Could you please do a video on what kinds of sauces you buy to use in your cooking, what they taste like, and what they are used for? Just a basic go over.

[@pinkjazs]

I've been following your blog since last month..I can relate almost all of your post actually hehe! btw, can you post some recipes of your fav dish thanks hehe.

[@theboreddoggo311]

I feel a sad vibe in this video, but maybe that's just me. Anyway, I just want to let you know that you are one of the very few youtubers that I watch every week. Short videos in youtube are the only entertainment that I can afford to have considering the very little spare time I can spend as i am studying law. With that said, I am very thankful for you and ryosuke for sharing these videos and I am wishing you all the good things to come your way!

[@1aerofanable]

Ryosuke looks cool with his glasses on.

[@omerihansini]

Thank god i am not the only one who gets sleepy after coffee

[@LexiJean83]

I loved your books! Thank you for offering them free because I don't have the money right now, but once I do I am going to buy a physical copy (real books are the best!). I think you are a great artist and it would be interesting to even see more comic from your life before Tokyo or your husband's life before you. Please let your husband know I read the forwards and mean people suck but even if no one enjoyed what you do never stop if it makes you happy, because in the end that's all that really matters. He is crazy in a good way and it looks like you balance each other out, it's perfect.

[@ElTrio1-WINK]

You and other J-Vloggers, like Rachel and June, keep making me wish I had enough money to visit Japan. Also, you make me want to try to draw my own comics. Keep up with your great work! Still slowly reading your books, half way through the second one. :)

[@binzza4818]

I work from home as a writer and translator (English/Swedish) so I know exactly what you mean about not feeling it today! Thanks for showing me it's not just me who sometimes struggle with working from home (but of course we do it anyway)! :)

[@AllieeLee]

I appreciate ryosuke making the extra effort to seem strange and lively hahahaha it certainly gives your videos your own unique flair

[@bridgetv7863]

I thought you drew cartoons on computer. Surprised to see you do that by hand in a bold and speedy way. .

[@shereena5700]

i love your videos so much! as a makeup artist i felt like grabbing your brushes and doing your makeup haha Grace! you are so lucky to be in Japan they have THE BEST eye products ever!!! their mascaras and eyeliners are known to be amazing (the drugstore ones!)

[@MrAfroNinja420]

YAY ! I thought i was the only one that gets sleepy when i drink coffee

[@Elena-fu7jj]

This is amazing documentary for your kids and grandchildren! :)

[@sarasthoughts]

Omg reading in a hammock while cuddling *w* that's soo cute!

[@catherineadler65]

Love all your work! I am OBSESSED with all your stuff right now! I have been watching your self publishing + books playlist and love your adorkable shirt. Where did you get it? You are such an inspiration to me! Plus, LOVE your day in the life videos, so interesting! Thank you Grace ;) From Paige -10 year old girl

[@TexaninTokyo]

Catherine Adler Hi Paige. Thank you so much! I'm so glad to hear that`1

[@libbycosner930]

Have you thought about (or do you have any plans to) make a cookbook? The foods you guys make look so good. I'd certainly buy it :)

[@rohitdev2536]

i really love this video its so peaceful and so calm :)

[@XX-rs8uw]

That was a poophat appearance I couldn't even imagine happening. That totally made my day :D

[@gaijinhakase1575]

Looks beautiful in your area, I would be 100% working on my laptop outside all the time! :-) And I know exactly what you mean about the hash, most people don't even notice if I make crepes badly sometimes haha (they're not common food in my town). Thanks for another fantastic video!

[@heykay15]

i think it should be ryo's turn soon to do a day in the life of.... i'm so glad that you guys are doing, what you love and surviving XXX, not surviving, THRIVING! . It gives me hope for myself. I also see how hard you guys work. Ganbatte!

[@shine101now5]

When Grace was talking about hash browns, the subtitles came out as "really nasty panties like okay" lol

[@nadjagropietsch7779]

I'm following your videos for quite some time now. And I must say that you're very inspiring for me! It's awesome how self-disciplined you are in your daily routine! (for 3-4 days per week, right? ;-) (The other days are for making videos etc. right?) I guess this can be also very tiring! But I hope that your move to a more quiet part of ... I don't know where, so let's say Japan ^^ , will help the two of you to relax, work more in parks and other relaxing areas and to regain some energy for your tight schedule. Greetings from Germany!

[@trinigamestv6538]

I love this show ! !

[@kimirodragonwolf6667]

I watch your show on KZbin and share it on Google+ with the rest of the world. Keep making these interesting video's.

[@yoshi6061]

Thank you for making this video !

[@SparklingNailsBySarah]

I just discovered your videos guys! You are awesome! Keep it up! Greetings from Morocco^^

[@sewnpatterns3491]

On your second comic, the girl on the left in the second comic looks like Emmy in Japan! Do you ever draw any youtubers ore people from your life in the comics? It'd be super fun if we could find these little easter eggs in them.

[@andreamoboe]

Loving your vids. Thanks 😀👍🏻

[@filzahaj]

Grace, do u mind sharing some japanese food recipes with us 😇 Or even better, you can make a cooking video once in a while. Hehe. Or maybe ryousuke 😁 it should be a lot of fun!

[@amberrhoades2972]

ryouske looks handsome in his glasses, i love how fun ya'll are together! Subscribed on sunday after watching your video with rachel & jun :)

[@alec.9399]

You guys make my heart melt you're so adorable together and your videos I really enjoy them. Thanks guys for making me more happy ^-^. Greetings from Panamá yeiii =D

[@martinaspanu1709]

I envy your beautiful skin Grace!

[@TexaninTokyo]

Martina Spanu Awww Thanks! Ryosuke makes homemade face lotion and teaches how to take care of my skin~

[@nobutaaaaaaaaa]

So detailed xD Enjoyed!

[@simonehabershaw7499]

I love the way you do your make up because your eyes look so amazing, well they look amazing without make up too. But yeah haha I love your videos and nothing you could film will ever be boring (even your dishwashing in one of your videos was interesting) thank you for making videos !!!

[@vex1509]

Agh,I feel like im late. But,great video! Im glad this is a series!

[@AnaRustenholtz]

I'm jealous, I want your skin, its so pretty. Mine is so dry so I always have to wash it and use a hydration gel before putting any make up on.

[@17jacq]

You have amazing work ethic! Really inspiring :)

[@oshawatt1998]

Grace, is that a heat proof desk you have there? If not, that'll damage the desk with that hot pan (Btw this is just out of curiosity, not trying to be rude).

[@ChantelleFerguson422]

Me too! Because like I always have something to out a hot pan on so it doesn't scorch the table. Granted it's made out of wood...

[@karen4you]

***** I cringed too, as I use a hot pad of some kind to protect my tabletops.

[@TexaninTokyo]

***** Yes - I have a hot pad underneath it. I didn't show on camera, but it was off to the right of the pan. Since i was holding the pan and the camera, I didn't have an open hand. So I put down the pan, turned off the camera, picked up the pan, put down the camera, grabbed the hot pad, and put it under the pan. No worries~!

[@Zak.f]

i think it is time i bought your comic book.......Your videos bring a smile to me :)

[@bombony12]

you got so much better at editing your vlogs i love them 💗👌

[@Jinougeration]

I reeeeaaally like to see you draw c: ..it looks so cute!

[@FiveOClockTea]

I didn't know that there existed different kinds of tofu! :-O the chocolate Tofu looked sort of like mousse au chocolat... Yum!
