[@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!☺️💕

[@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!

[@edinguy9585]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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 😊

[@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! 💜

[@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. ❤

[@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!!🤗🎉✨🎆

[@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 ❤

[@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! 😊

[@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!

[@nightchristabel]

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

[@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❤❤❤

[@RhondaH]

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

[@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.

[@mariangato]

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

[@putapipi3531]

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

[@Bagnasution]

Beautifully made as always, thank you for taking us to another holiday in Japan!

[@SolLife_]

Thanks for watching 🥰

[@lunabytea]

38 mins of you in Japan! Was so excited when I saw this! Sitting down with a cup of tea now to enjoy ☺️

[@SolLife_]

Enjoy! 🍵

[@dewwicool]

I love Tokyo. I love Japan vibes.

[@kiyoshitakeda452]

Now I understand. I watch today's video first when I should have looked at this one first. It explains your work in Japan. Enjoyed thank you.

[@HR-zc1mi]

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

[@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 😆

[@MOHAMEDSIDIQ-dn4re]

The world of makoto shinkai video was masterpiece keep posting your videos. It gives nostalgic feel of tokyo❤

[@Jdjjdndbdbbdjdjd]

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

[@SolLife_]

Thanks for watching! Hope you have fun!

[@Cielviii97]

I really appreciate for sharing this with us . That festival, I haven’t seen such a thing in my life . That would be a great experience to be there . And the whole vibe of this video was like eating a sweet watermelon on hot summer days . Feeling refreshed . Can’t wait to watch more from your trip .

[@SolLife_]

Thanks for watching! 😊🍉

[@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.

[@Qelsymae]

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

[@sandravalencia6312]

I missed seeing Japan through your videos. I'm glad you're back. Enjoy your visit! Greetings from Colombia ☕!

[@prakashmungekar3119]

Such a great video . The food , festivals, farming and the decipline was really great . Thanks for sharing.

[@angelieservando2407]

I miss this Japan Vlog! So happy! 😭❤️

[@SolLife_]

Hope you enjoy it! 😉

[@erikpinca]

Welcome back to Japan Sol! looking forward to seeing new places never explored before 🗻

[@_seosimu_]

26:35 "look at me, look at me" in the background twice everywhere!!!🤭

[@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! 😊

[@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

[@97Devils]

Incredible video! Thank you for mentioning the company you used for your accommodations. I am looking to do an extended stay this Fall. Cheers, from Portland Oregon!

[@SolLife_]

My pleasure! Hope you enjoy your stay!

[@Roccobear]

I love your videos, especially when you visit cafes 😊❤ that’s what I would do if I were visiting Japan as well. ☕️ Everything looked so tasty

[@sturmgold]

The country of my dreams ❤

[@jawad-cp]

[@raza_00007]

I love watching these videos. So calming experience ❤. Keep posting!

[@SolLife_]

Excited to share! 🤩

[@ErosMorelli]

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

[@SolLife_]

Hope you enjoy!😊

[@katecosette]

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 🥰💕

[@Thetravelsurvivalist]

Yeah. I miss Japan.

[@evermillcreek]

What a wonderful start to your trip 😊 last time I visited was for over a month during the summer, so many amazing memories ❤ cant wait to return when ADHD is treated 🧭

[@luhm846]

I love your content most cause of how detailed you are, and it would be my dream to travel to Korea and Tokyo😍😍😍😍

[@hubertaumeier4558]

I just spend a month in Japan and I feel you need that time to really see Japan a bit deeper, especially if you adventurous and explore the not so well known places, slow travel and let it sink in. 2025, I be spending 5-6 month in Japan again. Safe travels everyone

[@Shiro_the_cats]

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

[@igorrr.-]

I loved to watch your video! Eu amei assistir seu vídeo! Greetings from Brazil!

[@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

[@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! ☕️☕️

[@katecosette]

@@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!! :)

[@Ironwill_Games]

Thanks for sharing the Japanese summer festivals with us! 😊

[@SolLife_]

My pleasure 😊✨

[@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

[@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

[@C.u.d.s]

The first day(s) feasts 😂 So relatable.

[@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!
