[@Jakamoe87]

One of my favorite things to do was just walk around Tokyo after a good meal. Behind every corner was a piece of bliss and tranquility 😊

[@SolLife_]

the best!

[@cherrytomato6139]

Such a wonderful relaxing video. Like a corner of a different world, where things can still be good and safe.

[@SolLife_]

Glad you enjoyed it!☺️💕

[@CocoPod]

I have just come back from Japan, and the trip was just amazing, Japan is very authentic, and at the same time living in 2050.

[@edinguy9585]

Ahh 7-11 convenient and great coffee, look forward to your time in Japan.

[@HR-zc1mi]

Like everyone here, I just came back from Japan and missing it already. Thanks for the video.

[@francetogo794]

Thanks for the video, I loved the neighborhood, stores, food, everything. Thanks for showing me a part of Japan I've never experienced in a different part of the world. from USA

[@NoctisAquila]

You’re one of the best ambassadors to Japan- they should pay you in gold for these beautifully thought out, amazingly directed, paced and edited videos! I just discovered your channel as well!

[@SolLife_]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! 😊

[@NoctisAquila]

@@SolLife_ Superbly executed videos, very interesting, amazingly written (not redundant, not minimalist to the point of confusion- just right- and that takes talent), editing, sound design, camera flow, framing, color- and the overall pacing (which is what 99% of all creators struggle with) is just right, beautifully, tastefully balanced. videos, and especially videos about Japan bore me to death very quickly; I lose interest or start yawning… they tend to be superficial, immature, trite, cliché- yours are awesome! Bravo! It’s a great example of how you can project the beauty of every-day life in Japan, whilst maintaining tasteful levels of artistic freedom and integrity! This is what separates “mere” content creators from true artists - other content creators (of any subject and topic) can certainly take some notes from how you do it

[@SolLife_]

Thank for the sweet words! 🥺 pacing is definitely the hardest part to get right so I’m happy to hear this! 🥰❤️

[@NoctisAquila]

@@SolLife_ You got this! There’s skill and practice- and than there’s natural artistic talent- which you posess! Oh and because now your videos are part of my daily routine- I knew you were a filmophile - the way you walk through your favorite movie locations- is exactly what true film lovers/makers do! I would’t be surprised if you studied cinema- I do know that this type of artistic sensibility is highly seeked after- in all areas of content creating- If I were a Minister of Tourism or anything similar that I wanted to showcase/advertise/promote- I’d pay real good money and try to throw in as many interesting perks trying to persuade someone with this type of sophisticated talent to come work for me! There are 3 content creators on yt I could give such praise to- one is a Canadian guy who makes amazing shorts about space-related topics (mostly), another one is coincidentally also Canadian making insightful videos about zoning and similar topics in Tokyo, Japan- and there’s you!

[@NoctisAquila]

@@SolLife_ Oh and your framing is superb 🤌 especially outside in environments you clearly have no control over- very impressive! When done right, it looks so smooth and efortless- but it’s anything but! It’s not contrived either, just organic and seemingly simpe! And, again, that is what true visual artistic talent is all about!

[@putapipi3531]

Just went back from my trip to Japan. I miss this place so much 😢

[@Nekotoinu-pj5gd]

Hello Sol, I'm delighted that you're spending this month in Japan. Your flat is really great and I'm thinking of taking one just like it when I go to Japan. The practical side of having everything already there. I really liked the nezu shrime shrine and I'm thinking of going there when I'm there. I love places like that. I also really enjoyed the sanja festival, the festive atmosphere is really superb. It really makes you want to go. Thank you for sharing, it's good to see Japan again through your videos. Have a nice day, Alain.

[@dewwicool]

I love Tokyo. I love Japan vibes.

[@JoseCortes-sp5if]

Saludos desde España! Enhorabuena por tus vídeos me gustan mucho, me hacen sentir que estoy en Japón, lo amo y lo echó de menos... Pero gracias por traer un trocito de Japón a mi ❤

[@citrinesl]

It's always so peaceful to watch your videos, thank you for this 38 mins video that bring us go around Tokyo with you~ 🥰

[@SolLife_]

My pleasure 😊

[@Qelsymae]

Adore how locals hang signs of someone’s missing keys! Especially in a spot where they can retrace their steps 🥹

[@YinmnChim]

Your vlogs are just such a cure for my longing for Japan. :) I went last November / December and it seems already like forever, but your videos capture the beauty and unique atmosphere so wonderfully it feels like taking a trip back here and there. I also had an absolutely lovely time in Kusatsu which I purely put on the itinerary because of your video. Thank you so much for your hard work and taking us with you, it's really a gift. ❤

[@nightchristabel]

Japan is so dreamy! I wish deeply to go there some day, and your videos make me wish even deeper! 😊 Thank you ❤

[@sunnystamaria4452]

Seeing Japan through your eyes (amazing video editing) and the places I visited when I first went there made me miss it so much! We'll definitely go back next year. That 7-Eleven egg sandwich is a favorite of mine, too. Love "traveling" with you, Sol Life! 💜

[@aoi-idaten]

I lived in Yanaka 30 years ago and now live in another city in Tokyo. Your video made me want to drop by Yanaka. Thank you

[@philippkruger5430]

awesome Vlog! when i watch it, i really realise that i miss japan. Next year i go again.

[@SolLife_]

Thank you! Hope you can visit again soon!

[@RhondaH]

Great to know about another furnished apartment rental in Tokyo! Thanks!

[@ahamprema1]

Ohhhh, I just love, love, love Japan and all its traditions, the festive mood was transmitted through the screen.😄 Thank you so much, Sol, it's always a delight to see Japan and South Korea through your eyes. You notice beauty everywhere, that's such a rare and wonderful quality. And yes, I know that feeling as if some parts of your heart are left in different countries and cities. You're always missing some places or some people in another corner of this world. It's just how it is....🥺 Already curious about your next videos!!🤗🎉✨🎆

[@dlamo90]

Ohhh what a nice vlog 🥰. It has been a year since my trip to Japan 😢 I was lucky to be in Tokyo for the sanja festival too, I really miss my time there. Eager to see your next videos, have a wonderful time there! 😊

[@renelyndelosreyes9670]

I'm always excited and happy to watch all of your videos showing your tours. It's so amazing and how beautiful the world. Thank you so much and can't wait to watch another vlog from you. Take care❤❤❤

[@Jdjjdndbdbbdjdjd]

Wow, thanks for sharing. We are planning to “live” in Tokyo for 6 weeks later this year too.

[@SolLife_]

[@mariangato]

OMG your videos in Japan are back and you're living in Tokyo for a month! I'm so happy 😍❤️‍🩹

[@MikeCarreon-hd6yl]

Thank you for showing us the little things, and neighborhoods to explore away from the bustle. You have some beautiful cinematography, I’m glad I discovered your video. Never been to Asakusa but planning on seeing it this time when I see Japan again this fall.

[@Zetbackup]

😁 I am glad to see you are back in Japan. My family recently returned from a nine-day trip to Kyoto-Tokyo, thanks to your previous videos. Your videos are really inspirational. I hope we can meet paths sometime, perhaps in Japan 😁. My family is planning to visit Japan again soon. Next time maybe to Nikko, Kawaguchiko, or some local neighborhood. Really look forward to your Japan videos to get some more ideas 😆

[@prakashmungekar3119]

[@szinhazzalszemben]

31:54 I think that's the Oedo Antique market at Tokyo Forum Hall^^

[@SolLife_]

Oh you’re right! Got confused which one this was. Thanks for letting me know! 😊

[@GememaMosqueda]

It’s good to see you back in Japan 😊

[@nico-s5k]

I want to put this place in a bottle! So beautiful!

[@WanderingLatte]

If it wasnt an ad is the apartment better than an airbnb? 😊 will be in tokyo for a longer period i am still contemplating

[@ErosMorelli]

The video we have all been waiting for! 😊❤️🤩🎉

[@SolLife_]

Hope you enjoy!😊

[@joseassis2973]

[@slimscorpio09]

Thank you for the weave life information I been looking for something like that for a while and couldn't find anything good to know I don't have to go thru the crazy process of being an foreigner and having a hard getting an apartment

[@dwalker6868]

Enjoy thank you for sharing your visit

[@saroabdkarem5537]

حبيت خصوصا فقرة المهرجان أذهلني وأمتعني

[@WanderingLatte]

If not an AD would you choose weave over airbnb? Heard really good reviews about airbnb for long term stay and more reliable. Can you provide advantages of weave over airbnb?❤ thank you! I am still contemplating which to choose

[@Shiro_the_cats]

Finally! i was waiting for long time. Your video is so refreshing and calming.

[@jammynsixkll4110]

Love your videos very much , travel Japan is my dreams❤❤❤

[@mrmoonlight9829]

Thanks for the info on the accommodation, will be useful!

[@AndrzejKarpiuKarpinski]

Yey. Hope to get some inspirations from your travels for our next trip !

[@dreamchampagne]

10:35 one of the top cafe designs I’ve seen❤ Sol will there be an AUS trip in the future?

[@chiaraippoliti]

"Latte" means "milk", not a coffee beverage. The correct name is like what you see at 21:05 a "caffè latte" is when you add coffee to the latte/milk. That's why a matcha latte or a strawberry latte doesn't have coffee; it's just a latte/milk with matcha or strawberry, respectively. So many countries use the term "latte" incorrectly. It comes from Latin "lac". That's why it's "leche, leite, lait", etc. in other Romance languages. They're all spelled similarly.

[@katecosettevocals]

You were the first vlog channel I've actually ever watched, and I was looking through some others, and I was surprised at the difference you offer with yours! It feels like in comparison, many times you stay on each shot for longer than a lot of the other channels I've seen, and it really allows people to look at more than one thing in the shot, and really feel like they're there in the moment when it goes at the pacing you've set. I also really appreciate the unique angles you choose, like sometimes even having the camera watching something through a reflection like a mirror or phone screen. It's very movie-esque :) It's a really special nuisance you have with your video direction and choices. :) Anyway, just wanted to say thanks again and to keep doing everything you're doing because it's wonderful!

[@SolLife_]

Thanks for the message! I sometimes worry my pacing too slow and people will feel bored. So it was really nice to hear this! Thanks for all the support 🥰💕

[@rafaellima8472]

What a great vídeo! Greetings from Brazil!

You don't know how much i love your vlogs , i even preper for watch it on TV , i get snacks, drinks and sometime i order food and watch your vlog, is like a movie for me 🫶 ❤ Thank you to let me see the beautiful place.

Nice to see you back! Love the vid as always :)

[@jwfloating-world]

Really interesting video Sol, you crammed so much into the first week.. Great find with the apartment. It looks better than the one you lived in before. Then the coffee shop tour☕. Had you ever thought of writing a book? Something like "Sol's guide to great coffee." Loved the festival to finish.☕🥣✨

[@SolLife_]

Thanks so much! 😊Not a book but might make a video one day! ☕️☕️

[@katecosettevocals]

@@SolLife_ you're so good with a camera, I'm sure if you ever wanted to make a book of just pictures of coffee/cafes etc it would be amazing though!! :)

[@KenithMirafuentes]

i missed you Japan videos. Good to have you back :)

[@SolLife_]

Me too! But this one I stocked up from Japan. Hope you like it!

[@soypolso]

The egg sandwiches from 7-Eleven are awesome; they're pretty similar to the ones at Lawson. Walking around Tokyo is amazing; I miss that city so much, can’t wait to visit again. Quick question: do you just record with your phone? What model do you use? Cheers!
