[@Pranav_nepal]

i find your videos soooooooo helpful so much

[@doro8856]

Oh my goodness, Aki! What a beautiful singing voice you have! I could listen to you singing and not tire of it.

[@barbharrington2903]

Wait a minute….you have a beautiful voice and we’ve waited all this time to hear it!? ❤😊

[@rebeccacragg1994]

I lived on Japan 7 years, it changed my whole life! Your videos help me realize how things I take for granted now come from my time in Japan ❤thank you so much for the beautiful, positive work you do with ygese videos, we are all blessed to have you!

[@sallywoodruff]

You're a global/internet treasure - thank you!

[@nancylee8061]

I was surprised to hear you sing; you have a lovely voice! This morning I will clean my toilet, open my big window, and have some tea. I am very old and am becoming more intentional in my gratefulness. It's too easy to see old age as loss; loss of loved ones, of our work and abilities but there is so much more to enjoy in life. Thank you for another informative encouraging video! ❤🌼❤

[@Jen.O]

I echo your statement as another very old person who is grateful.

[@Esther-ps3vx]

I have started following your advice from last week when I found your channel. I could not believe that I cleaned my toilet first thing in the morning. There is something different about your channel that made me follow it.

[@mikelobrien]

I liked the toilet cleaning tip and keep my toilets and sinks as clean as possible. Thanks for revisiting that great video; I need to re-watch it! 😊

[@kaydixie5727]

Such a fun presentation with unique content not found anywhere else on KZbin. Thank you so much for posting!

[@donnau3735]

I am soooo happy that I recently stumbled upon your videos and made sure to subscribe! As a 70 year young Japanese woman who has lived in Hawaii all my life, we have practiced in our everyday life a lot of what you are bringing our attention to so that it just becomes a second nature to us and we don't really think about it - like arranging your shoes neatly. But you are teaching me so much more as you are explaining the meaning behind each gesture or saying. Your positive nature is so entertaining and calming to start each day with. Arigato gozaimasu!!!😊

[@thestrwbrrygirl]

I like your vibe. Happy and caring. Plus awesome tips that you don’t see in other people’s videos.

[@na-uo4no]

Thank you for this wonderful video. 🌸 I found that sentence so touching: “Even if no one sees it, the universe notices”. Even if you basically know these things: it's good to be reminded of them again and again.

[@1BDP2B]

Thank you for your words of wisdom. You make the world a better place. The blessings you help create, keeps all boats rising. I love you!

[@countdown.moments]

I took the cleaning the toilet habit after watching your video. It is one of the first things I do in the morning and I totally agree, the benefits of doing this are surprising. Habits are what make you or break you and this habit is for sure a very good one. Thanks for sharing this tip.

[@stevedalebrewer8029]

We love you, Samauri Matcha! Nice singing voice, too. Great video!

[@mbsamiam]

I think one thing that would make my life better and happier would be if I could watch a new video of yours everyday. Truly. During and after every video, I feel happy, at peace, and inspired- no matter the topic. I’m so happy I found your channel.

[@dvijay461]

I just came back from vacationing in Japan. I was fortunate to be in someone's home where they taught me about the shoe placement, but I didn't really understand the why. Thank you for explaining this! I think these everyday things are why the Japanese culture is so vibrant and exceptional. The self-discipline that they have is something we can all learn from so thanks for sharing. Arigato Gozaimasu!

[@Minimalistatheart]

Aki, I cleaned my toilet first thing this morning, and you were right, it made me feel so much better. It also made me want to clean my whole house…haha…not that it’s dirty, the freshness feels so much better and adds a good start to the day.

[@nalinidevi7617]

Just watching your videos makes me filled with positivity and happiness without cleaning the toilet or arranging the shoes, and motivate me to do many more things.

[@kathleenrmorris]

I visited Japan some years ago and was pleasantly surprised by widespread use of bidets instead of wiping out butts with the rainforests. I was inspired to install one upon my arrival home to 🇺🇸. This was especially auspicious during covid. I highly recommend this conversion. 😅

[@anniecochrane3359]

'I receive your life and now I will run in your place' What a difference to my eating this makes, if I remember it. Thank you for all these habits based on wisdom. Truly wonderful. And yes, praise for your sweet singing.

[@richardvass1462]

Thanks to your channel I have learned about Japanese gratitude which we incorporate into our thanksgiving.

[@Suki022]

Aki, you made me laugh soo much by the way you said we should hold our phone up! 😂 I immediately fixed my posture as soon as you said that it lifts your mood to sit up and look up straight. You are right! 😊

[@yellow7645]

Same 😂, it worked!

[@Qoo62]

日本の良い習慣を海外の人たちにも知らせてくれてありがとうございます！「お陰様」の意味の説明がとても素晴らしいです👏登録者もっともっと増えますように🙏✨

[@NatManzano]

I live in United Kingdom but I work at a Japanese Library. I really appreciate my colleagues there so I said お陰様です to them when they said お元気ですか. They softly smiled and bowed. I felt like I had communicated my appreciation. It felt good.

[@Qoo62]

@ That’s wonderful! Next time, say お陰様で元気です(Okagesade Genkides). This way, your Japanese will sound more natural✨

[@NatManzano]

@Qoo62 that's a great suggestion 👌 I will do it! ありがとうございます

[@winamortenson9125]

I loved your song, too! And I really giggled when you did the funny stance, looking upward at your phone. 😆 You are so fun and sweet, as well as helpful and kind. I live in Wisconsin, USA, this morning it was -13 degrees Celsius. How cold does it get where you live? I do not open my window when I get up in the morning! But I open my curtains for a bit. Then I need to close them again to keep the house warm on a cloudy day. If the sun is shining in the window, it will warm the room, so I leave the curtains open until the sun moves to another side of the house. I follow the sun! I really appreciate the parts about food, contentment, and the answer to "How are you?" "I'm good, because of all the support I have from others."

[@svetikmakaruk]

Your videos becomes better and better and you talk about toilets just right amount 😁 Thank you! ❤️

[@binupraveenkumar8764]

Sing often Aki.....I love your smile and your videos are splendid...with a great sense of humour

[@DavidAAcostaS]

You make us happier! Greetings from Colombia!

[@tommcgill5610]

Just got back from a holiday to Japan and absolutely loved it. The people, the culture, the kindness. I remember your original 8 habits video and remember seeing so much of it reflected in everyday life over there - your videos were a big influence on me when I was over there to make sure I respected the country and culture! Keep making great content.

[@saraweirich7927]

You do have a sweet singing voice! I’m so grateful that you share of your life on KZbin, I feel so blessed and happy every time I see you and hear your voice🫶🏻🙏🏻✨ Thank you!🍵

[@mariaveronica2629]

I love ancient japan, i love so much the japanese the way of life 🤍🤍🤍 so wonderfull~~

[@faithcritchfield1066]

Your videos bring me so much joy, it is such a privilege to have you sharing these beautiful Japanese traditions with us Aki! 💚

[@theearlyriser]

Aki-You are not only an International successful KZbinr you are also a philosopher. Thank you for your insight to life and the joy you bring to all who know you.

[@OutPushing]

I would like to see a ONE HOUR video from you on the Japanese tradition of toilet cleaning 🙌

[@satsuki2yamamoto608]

靴を揃える習慣を根気よく教え続けたあきさんのお母さん 素晴らしい！ まさに私も今その最中にいます。家族に脱いだ靴を揃える様言い疲れて根負けし諦めかけていました。が、頑張ります！夫と息子には脱いだ靴をきちんと揃えられる素敵な男性になって欲しい。 No 6 我唯足知は正に今の自分に戒めです。Black Fridayにうかれず引き締めます！ それにしてもあきさん 歌お上手です。

[@CaptZenPetabyte]

I have always felt an affinity for Japanese Culture since I started learning the Martial Arts in my teenage years, and have read, learned and practised as much as I could all my Life. Now at the age of 50years old I want to learn to speak and write Japanese language, and I am *still* learning more culture from your channel. So very grateful for you taking the time and sharing your Life with all of us. 恐縮です

[@ashas6396]

You are a wise young man . Wish you the best in your life ❤🙏

[@_spartan11796]

Congratulations 🎉. That’s a huge accomplishment

[@laurasvanhal]

Started cleaning the toilet every morning 1,5 years ago after seeing your video. Love how it makes me feel! ❤

[@rosierosie62]

Sometimes I wondered why I clean up my table, push the chair in and leave everything neat when I visit a coffee shop. Nobody else seems to do it. But now you gave me a good reason, even if nobody else notices it, the universe does.

[@MissLeaf125]

I'm blessed to find you in YT❤ Each of Your Japanese habit made me love life and a live more wisely 😇 THANK YOU

[@netta1383]

You are just a ray of sunshine 🌞 watching your videos always makes me smile 😀

[@annetteclovis7410]

Congratulations Aki! Love your videos and your positive energy. When ever i want to feel good I watch one of your videos and feel inspired and happier. I must also say your English has improved so much…well done! 😊

[@lorilocascio859]

You help me bring a sense of joy, respect and ease to everyday habits. Now I straighten other family members’ shoes; maybe they will catch on and do it themselves someday. Thank you for sharing. You are a treasure

[@kagie2219]

What wonderful habits you have shared with us. I will certainly adopt these and apply them to my life. Thank you so much. 🙏🏽

[@PeggyLeung-ev1vo]

Arigatou Aki for this amazing deeper dive small habits video, the song is lovely, you are good singer. Especially cleaning the washroom everyday is beautiful ,it’s the place we clean our body and rewind end of the day having a me time. All the small habits in this video like putting the chair’s back or cleaning the table for the next one brings the idea small gratitude goes a long way and make the world a better place ❤ for each other. Look forward to watching your next video

[@heelsurfs9519]

Additionally, I always sweep the area around the front door of my apartment. I live in a guesthouse, separate from the landlord's home. Unless it is heavy rain, I always sweep the front entrance area, to keep it neat and clean --- less dust & dirt to get thru the front door. My Nihonjin (Japanese) parents taught this to me as a kid. Greetings from Los Angeles, California, U.S.

[@Mataji108]

You have renewed my enthusiasm for cleaning the toilet each morning and given me even more reason is open the windows, even in winter.

[@yourockFR]

Your song was lovely ❤

[@trudywhitebear]

I watched your video a year ago and it helped me change for the better. I enjoy your good energy and thank you for sharing your culture. Ninaskamon, is Nehiyaw for I am greatful inside my heart. ❤

[@alexandrakhorynzha4999]

Thank you Aki, just watching your content takes away the anxiety inherited by my father. Your presence transfers peace trough the screen.☮

[@tequilamonster3940]

Thank you for presenting information about Okagesama. Taking time to recognize and appreciate those around us that support us is a powerful lesson. Thank you for sharing!!

Many thanks.

[@LindaElliott-kc1yf]

You do have a beautiful voice as well as a lovely smile and an upbeat and delightful personality. Warm greetings from Montreal, Canada. Your videos are very helpful, inspiring and delightful. Thank you so much for sharing. 😊❤❤

[@kumudkamat8588]

Namaste ! Most Grateful for your sharing these valuable habits.

[@megathy43]

I've been watching your videos for quite a while and I can see how you have matured and grown in so many ways! Thank you for sharing the lovely messages you have learned so that we can all benefit from them. I have implemented several of the daily rituals into my life and they keep me centered in such a good way! Thank you, Samurai Matcha!

[@nannlee6304]

I have done half of the things in your video, and it has helped me to be less anxious than before. Hope to do the other things as well to get to a successful point in my life. Doomo arigatoo. ❤

[@philbaughey8702]

What a beautiful voice! You should sing more on your videos!

[@conniereynolds9844]

A beautifully sung song 😌You have a calming voice, speaking and singing😌

[@lenrb1814]

You are my inspiration! 😊 I still have a lot to learn and to implement but even when I don’t succeed on my plans even watching your videos made my day or night more happy 🎉❤

[@veggirl1964]

I learn so many things from your videos. Today I learned that you have a beautiful singing voice!

[@mydanshi9683]

You have a beautiful singing voice and such an infectious happy way about you. I will attend to all of these good habits now 😊

[@patriciarist856]

You singing is the cutest thing I've ever seen 😂❤

[@sorapikayue4271]

I am always so grateful for your videos, and I will say I love having a clean toilet! I try to clean it as often as possible even if it's not every day.

[@marijanak.2306]

Hi Aki, I just wanted to say thank you for all that you do-you are such an inspiration! Not only have you inspired me to become a minimalist, but I’ve also started drinking matcha in the mornings and learning Japanese for fun. 😊 The concepts you share are so simple, yet very profound. And as others have said-please sing more in your videos; you sound great!

[@nombreapellidos7902]

In love with this video! 😭🫶

[@MarisB-b8z]

So very true all of it....also people shop/consume in abundance to numb themselves looking for short term happiness.... but happiness always comes from within !

[@soha1691]

Seeing you makes me try to clean the toilet every day. Your channel videos are very interesting. I love to watch this.❤ Love from India ☺️

[@llakshmitv976]

Beautiful singing ❤😂🎉

[@FuesunHa]

The universe is recognizing it, how sweet is that. Your video enlightened my soul again. It is really great how you can turn your life by so small steps. The most of it I did already before but I was not aware of it that these were the right steps and went in a correct direction. But now e.g. I started to open my windows at least wide open once a day. I think it is also relevant to do rituals to calm yourself down. Therefore it is necessary and with a lot of rituals your mind is not going in confusing direction because you have a plan for your day. Thanks a lot for your video and I enjoyed my matcha too. I am doing that every day since 2012 and I love this ritual too. Have a beautiful evening!

[@cinthiaehrenborg9242]

I began to clean my toilet each day, which is a bit different as I live on a 37'6" sailboat in Santa Barbara Ca. This helped me begin a deep cleaning of my home. As there are many different areas of my boat, it is not reasonable to clean everything. I do all my basic cleaning and then decide on an area for that day.

[@lynnmichelle5482]

Release a recording, beautiful singing 🎶 ❤ 😊 wonderful advice, and very interesting how we can improve our lives in such simple ways! I have to say, i bought a natural peppermint toilet cleaner and it smells so good and i feel great when I've cleaned our toilet!!

[@maritakennedy9929]

You have a lovely singing voice. I have been following all these ancient ways and they are really beneficial. ❤

[@juliapulles697]

I appreciate your videos and positive, contagious, energy!

[@NatManzano]

Thank you for this video. Hearing your song was a fantastic surprise that made me feel that today is going to be a good day. Your explanation of the cleaning of the toilet in Japanese culture helped me understand the film "Perfect days" called "Komorebi" in Japan, by Wim Wenders. You have helped me in many ways to be tidier and to have a happier life because everything is clean and I have more space for new things in life and I appreciate it. You deserve even more followers. お陰様です

[@gaynorbrook837]

Thank you for your wonderful videos-they make my spirit soar🙏🏻💚😊

[@julianadelion5497]

Mr Aki. I am so grateful to beable to enjoy your gentle spirit. Your life is an inspiration. Thankyou for sharing with the world. My I beable to emulate you.

[@masha1179]

Thanks Aki for your lovely and deeply inspiring videos. It's so fascinating to find out about ancient Japanese wisdom which feels very logical and beautiful and soulful. Also it's funny to realise how many of these little habits I've been doing already without even knowing they had a deeper meaning in Japan. It makes me happy 😊You have so much respect for other people, I wish we had that too here in the west or in my country at least. I love opening my balcony door every single morning all year round, also in -20'C while I prepare some green tea. Then I also love washing my face with cold water after my breakfast. I absolutely love the freshness they bring to me. 🥰

[@teslarex]

Each act is so much greater than it appears. Likewise disregard for others like leaving a mess weighs negatively.

[@mallorymaymay]

Thank you for your gift of spreading information!

[@wasabuko]

Thank you for another great video Aki-san! It brings me a lot of joy to watch your channel and i love your humor as well as your way of teaching about japanese culture.

[@lana7422]

Always love your videos. Your singing voice is very good. Also, you don't talk about cleaning toilets too much. I believe it's true that things go much better in your day when you clean your bathroom well daily. The clean smell is healthful mentally and physically.

[@shannonlocke8475]

Every video of yours makes my smile. Thank you. SMILES
