Heading for the silver play button. Congrats on 50k. I like your style of videos. Thank you for letting us take part in your life in Japan.

[@compilejason]

Love you Sarah! Your videos always make me so happy :) Grats on 50K!!!

[@Cynthia-AllYouNeedIsLove]

Please do the date video with your boyfriend. Sounds super fun ❤❤❤

[@user-ct8tv5lg4e]

The bread lamp! 🍞 💡 🙌

[@coffee_button]

it's light carbs, lol

[@Bodneyblue]

Yes..Japan does make me homesick..even though I do not live there...I long to be in Japan....I have a feeling of nostalgia and yearning for a life I've never lived...I visited Japan twice last year...While there I felt a claimness I have not felt for years...Despite being a fish out of water....Japan gave me what I have been missing since losing my partner to cancer....Peace...All I can think of now is to be there again...I want that feeling back.

[@bigwinie]

Good call on spending money on camera and audio equipment. Quality of the videos is one of the reasons why this channel is growing. Personality of host is king and you have that in spades. Cheers!

[@seerasan]

Thanks for appreciating the quality! ❤Working at a production company really opened my eyes to varying levels of quality, so I am all for investing!

[@philippGM]

I don’t understand, why you don’t have 1mio subs yet. Your channel truly deserves it. I will stay tuned and keep giving thumbs up. Let us together further promote your channel.

[@HenryKlausEsq.]

Working from home rules. You can cook a meal from scratch for lunch, you can sleep in, you can shower at lunch, you can walk your doggos at random times, you can avoid crappy people, you can get your deliveries, you save money on travel and food. And yes Red Rock is the best - but I'm a Sour Cream and Chilli bro.

[@miamilner3226]

A date video would be so cute only if you're comfortable with it!😍

[@ChrisMcCarroll]

You are an awesome human. This is an awesome channel. One of these days are going to make it to Japan. Watching you live my dream has been a delightful education. Can’t wait to see what the future holds.

[@TheRainydayvideo]

I love your energy. I watched this with breakfast before work and it really set me off in a good mood. Im starting the day feeling how good and exciting life is. I'm a filmmaker and I can definitely tell that you've been putting effort into learning more about cameras. Your videos are looking more and more beautiful each time. For lighting there are so many options. If you want to keep your videos looking natural but still have control over the light then softboxes are a good shout. You can also do a lot with lamps you have at home.

[@JustMeeee2]

Thank you loved this video! Happy Saturday to you!!

[@danieldarby9953]

Congrats on your 50k! I enjoy your videos so much.

[@AmbientWalking]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts about Japan with us! So fun!

[@ty2k]

Congrats on the 50k! Well-earned!

[@catwatson2795]

Congratulations on hitting 50k, your doing an awesome job! The date video would be kinda cool. 😊

[@slowhand9]

I discovered your channel while researching my trip to Japan. Although I'm back from Japan, I continue to watch your videos. Keep up the good work.

[@seerasan]

Thanks for sticking around! 😁

[@DJRestlezz]

Great idea to visit Switzerland 😃 It‘s beautiful here 🇨🇭

[@FyreNano]

As someone looking to take my partner to Japan in the coming year, I'd love a date video or even just a bunch of recommendations in and around Tokyo for couples

[@erickgonzalez2839]

Congrats on the 50k! Wishing you many more and thanks for the sunblock lotion rec's!

[@octeight7977]

Thanks for answering my question about Japanese philosophy, you answered it beautifully. Good luck on your journey, glad you are finding it as enlightening as I am.

[@Fun-pf9lw]

Congrats on all your subs! You deserve it as your channel is informative and fun. It’s a great way for me to unwind after a long day. Keep up the awesomeness

[@halcyonandon]

Thanks for the Q and A best of luck with growing the channel! I always enjoy your videos :)

[@TheKadato]

You are such a positive delight. Looking forward to hearing more from you

[@AllStars2525]

This is such a cool idea!!! Great video!!

[@BabyPepperPotMay2009]

Fun Q&A. Love your videos! 😄

[@JoergKargus]

Nettes Video, schau jetzt fast 2 Jahre die Videos und finde die richtig gut. VG aus Bayern

[@noname-gv3ct]

Ein echt gutes Q&A! Du sprichst angenehm schnell, sodass es nicht langweilig wird. Man muss sich als nicht-Englisch-Muttersprachler zwar konzentrieren, aber dadurch lässt man sich eben nicht ablenken. Weiter so! ^^

[@noname-gv3ct]

Als ich in Japan war haben mir auch mehrere andere Touristen von Yakujima erzählt, es soll sich wirklich lohnen👍🏻 Als armer deutscher Student ist es leider schwer das Bier in Japan zu genießen. Es ist zwar nicht schlecht, aber leider zu teuer (ca. 1,50€/0,5l). Ich kann empfehlen: verschiedene Sorten von Sake aus dem Glas, oder noch besser: 0,7l Whiskey für 4,50€ und das mischen mit Cola/Ginger-Ale.😅

[@silverian]

Great Q & A with various topics! Ikigai was nice extra material and reminds how life is sometimes balancing different aspects of life, which may draw you to opposite directions.

[@TheMonsterReviews]

Congrats on the 50k! Love the vids Seera.

[@jamesboon6046]

You as a solo in the videos you are involved in are becoming in my top 3 favourite's for sure..loving the videos!

[@seerasan]

Thanks so much! 🫶

[@user-tc8xg4kt9i]

Congratulations on 50K! 🎉🥳🎂❤️God Bless!

[@momota5642]

Congrats on your 50k!! I don’t know why, but when I hear that you’re in a relationship I feel rather relieved. It’s just like hearing that my younger nephew has a good boyfriend, though I don’t have any nephews. Also I’m glad that you mentioned Shikoku, because I’m from Ehime Pref. Please make a video about traveling Ehime someday!

[@OuterRanger]

Thank you for answering my gym culture question! 💪

[@seerasan]

Hope it was insightful!

[@samisweetbean]

Congrats on 50k!! Also a little tip if you want to visit another city in Korea-- you can pretty cheaply take a ferry from Fukuoka to Busan! I lived in Busan for 3 months and it's such lovely city, the beaches are so beautiful and the vibe is more relaxed than Seoul

[@caro-chan28]

Seerasan! I love your videos and content SO much, you're a natural and your passion/enthusiasm/authenticity bring me so much joy every day (Japan is the best!) Keep up the fantastic work, I hope your channel skyrockets into even more success! :)

[@baborrow6980]

Congrats on hitting 50k! 🎉

[@seerasan]

Thank you 🫶😁

[@user-rk8cx8dj6f]

Yay 60k next! 🎉

[@sniper441]

Thanks for sharing! Love your videos, congrats on 50k!!

[@seerasan]

Thank you 💕💕

[@tiff.jaadaa]

Congrats again! 🎉 Thanks for asking my question I felt a bit invasive asking about food but it always gives me confidence when I see you ask to modify food! always stressin about that 😅

[@alexanderschwarm7755]

Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Erreichen von 50k Abonnenten

[@arceus54321]

thanks for answering my question! i'll go buy some flowers from this local shop i walk by everyday 😆

[@grapiemon]

Congratualtions on 50k, you deserve it!!! Also, 100% Red Rock Deli chips are just...so good!!! and salt and vinegar ftw!

[@maddyrabbit21]

As a fellow Australian, watching you low key panic to wash down the vegemite was classic 😂

[@bbshrimp]

Congrats on 50K!! Salt and vinegar is such a top tier chip flavor... I wish I could try the Red Rock ones lol! Oh man a boyfriend date video would be fun, but also people can be so weird about relationships online so maybe it would be best to keep it private? But of course it's whatever you're most truly comfy with, please don't feel pressure! In any case, thank you for all the lovely content!! It's been so fun as you've been getting more and more into youtube! ✨

[@magicmyth2635]

i would love to see a behind the scene video, i am always curious to see all the hard work that goes behind the camera. like putting you camera a certain way or film the same thing in 3 diffrent ways to make i more interesting. enz.😊

[@withnathanmp]

Congrats on 50k and I love your videos! Do you always plan videos out in advance or do you something do activities and decide “oh I should vlog this”. Sometime I have trouble separating the two and having fun doing something but feeling guilty I’m not being efficient and turning it into content

[@rice_frying_shrimp]

As a relatively recent viewer of the channel who is from Hamburg it was such a crazy whiplash moment to hear you talk about your roots in this area. Might also explain the obsession with tea. Ostfriesland in particular has some of the highest tea consumption in Europe outside of the UK as you might know, so it might just be in your blood 😄

[@AlfredoMagbual]

ive been living in japan for about 3 days now and i absolutely love it. still have so much to do like visit the town hall but it should all be good in no time! amazing video and congrats on hitting 50k :))

[@Ren_Brands]

Congrats on reaching 50 thousand subs.

[@cheyennemoore8380]

This was so fun! Thanks for sharing these! I'm amazed you got sent abroad so much, but that explains how good your German is. You also made me check my ACNH lol. I have 275 plus hours and my most played is actually Stardew Valley at 570 or more hours. I like my cozy games.

[@Panster7]

I feel like we need to explore this salt n vinegar chips obsession/addiction in detail 🤣

[@seerasan]

It's just me opening a bag of red rock deli salt n vinegar chips and finishing it in one sitting (unhealthy addiction levels 🤤) lmao

[@arthurg7894]

Here's to 100k! 🎉

[@seerasan]

Yes!! Let's gooo!! 🔥

[@trixikraft_ongaku]

Yes, please make a dating video 😍 Thank you so much for making all those videos! They really help us a lot to plan for upcoming Japan trips (hopefully including a One Ok Rock concert as well 😉)! Grüße aus Deutschland!

[@sfalconer]

Fun Q&A! You need to try Poh's Red Rock Deli flavours, they are SO GOOD!

[@saucesecrete]

Congrats on 50k I hope to reach 1k sub one day WOOOO

[@mandycarwardine9864]

Congrats on 50K

[@seerasan]

Thank you! 🎉

[@KirkKiyosadaTome]

Super fun vid! Thanks for the insight into your life. Please keep us updated by visiting local spots, as I'm really enjoying that series!

[@helenstratigos4862]

Ooh a little love life content to switch things up! Nice that your partner is willing! :D

[@krazygermanpicker4207]

oh, you are from Niedersachsen. i live in Nordrhein Westfalen, near Bielefeld. we always use the airport in hannover to travel ;-)

[@CheezItPlease]

Give us that date video! 😁

[@fanficrocks]

Smash con for the win, let's go. (From a patron member and fellow Sydneysider)

[@nyan-cp5du]

Being fearless is good because when you make a cringey mistake the cringe will haunt you and make you remember

[@coachster]

Rubbing disposable chopsticks together after separating them is to remove slivers. But that’s often because a lot of restaurants/takeaway in North America use very low quality disposable chopsticks

[@antigravityinmotion]

Your shining Shoku-Ban in the background is cute 👀👍 Can't wait to meet your boyfriend ❤

[@Old.School.Ronin.01]

Shoku *pan.

[@pinguinferropol]

I love Sapporo beer too!! Have you ever tried Sapporo Classic?? You can only get it in Hokkaido and it is soooooo good !!!! Easily the best Japanese beer in my opinion, especially if it's fresh from tap 🤩🍻

[@seerasan]

Yes! I have tried it before, also very tasty! 🍻

[@schrodingerscat3912]

You're freakin gorgeous! & Congrats for the 50k!

[@kitespongan]

Yes date video! ❤ I’d also like to figure out where all the cool indie electronic music underground spots are. Do you guys have “secret” warehouse parties? 🎉

[@seerasan]

That's not really my speciality, but I hear a LOT of them are in Shimokitazawa!

[@himawari4166]

Definitely would be interested in a dating video ;)

[@jonathanmackin4130]

If you ever come to Canada Whistler is fine but the better snow is at Big White…Although Vancouver in Spring can let you Ski and enjoy beaches or city life. Wet snow compared to Big White’s fluffy snow.

[@mustang1969uk]

We loved your q&a! It was great. 😊Although I think you may have broken a few hearts! 😂

[@psiga]

50k celebration, and less than a week later you're at _59._ Preemptive _CONGRATULATIONS_ for your soon to be 60k celebration! ~‿^

[@seerasan]

Thank youuuu 🫶🎉

[@shoryuken64]

Es ist so ungewohnt, dich deutsch sprechen zu hören.. glückwunsch für die 50k!

[@CtFshd1812]

For lighting, I think something like an Aputure MC might be good as a start given its portable meaning you can bring it along with you. Getting two should cover most cases. You can obviously get larger lighting solutions but maybe as a next step down the road.

[@MrMBinder]

13:00 Summer is amazing, at least it was when I visited in July/August 2010. Everything is so green and lush if you get out of the cities with the rice fields and the mountains, like the Kamikochi area, are incredible (and not hot due to altitude).

[@glennmoore8464]

Its great to get an insight into your life. I hope your channel continues to grow and you can live your dream life

[@kaibacker7385]

I would like to see more about the japanese nature. We went to Japan last month (for the first time) and Tokio, Kyoto and Osaka were very interesting but next Year we want to explore the nature- and countryside of Japan. PS: the quality of your Videos is perfect 👌. Greetings from Germany ✌️

[@wasabigirl2004]

Sarah actually did a video a while ago, staying in a cabin in a valley in Nagano Prefecture: "Day in the Japanese Countryside - NAGANO". kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2S6qHucq9Zpgc0&ab_channel=seerasan

[@fumeokid]

Great Q & A and congrats on the subs! You have great content and the hard work you put in is evident. And of course you’re not single-that would be a crime against nature and all that is holy! 😉👍

[@joshuaweiss6296]

I also love S&V chips! In the U.S. Jimmy Johns (fast food sandwiches) has the very best Salt & Vinegar chips!!! I crush them and put them in the sandwiches. So good! If you do visit, check them out!

[@jan-ovepedersen5764]

I agree on Sapporo beer, it's my favorite Japanese beer, and Asahi Super Dry is very good as well. I visited Tokyo in July last year, it was hot and humid, never above 30 but the humidity was taking a toll on me. Luckily the trains were air conditioned.

[@BGwControlStop]

I loved it when you mentioned some of your old school dramas like Hana Yori Dango and Hana Kimi. This ones a bit old but have you seen Chuugakku sei nikki. 中学聖日記 the 2018 drama , another shojo manga adaptation with a killer Soundtrack. Worth checking out if you hadn't previously. Also you mentioned you like KPP , do you like PERFUME as well they have the same music producer. Also you should do a video on how to go to concerts in japan, its a lot tricker than going in Australia

[@FuzzleyFuzzington]

You are my favourite KZbinr in Japan.

[@seerasan]

Thank you 😆🫶

[@VampireHunterR]

Buffalo ny has great winters a lot of snow, and it's next to Canada too

[@jaycepentad9535]

Congratulations!

[@Wolverin9431]

Would be so fun to see some Germany content and some like what are the differences between Germany, Japan and Australia 😊

[@MajorAddiction]

Congrats on the bread light

[@mapsadsymp]

Totally agree with you about the Salt & Vinegar chips! I also live in Japan and have recently been buying the "Golden State Organic" Salt & Vinegar chips! If you can find them you should definitely give them a try! *chefs kiss* 🤌💯

[@seerasan]

Omg, yesss you know what's up! They're actually the only ones I have found *so far* in Japan I can enjoy!

[@mapsadsymp]

So vinegar-y and delicious 🙌

[@jnwood97]

Congratulations on the 50k. I love your vids. I found you via Emma via Sharla via Chris Broad. lol. I’ll be heading to Japan in April next year with my family for Star Wars celebration. So looking forward to it. My daughter will be 18 when we go. She doesn’t drink, but what is the age for going to bars and things?

[@voldymore69]

red rock deli is delcious my tastebuds been cravin it

[@trdartz]

You really should try to head into Shenzhen from Hong Kong. Take everyone through how to navigate travelling with apps in China ... Travelling there is affordable and crazy modern with so much food variety.

[@maiyomileetiey]

You should definitely go to yakushima! I went there when I was a student at Kagoshima university. It was the best nature trip of my life so far.

[@neriwshbgisnvghbsnib]

Soccer in Japan is great! The J-League is very competitive and Yokohama F. Marinos have an Aussie manager in Harry Kewell

[@helenalphabet7832]

Yes to bf vids haha. Also where is that bread light from? I need it in my life. P.s. happy to send you a box of red rocks deli S&V chips from Aus 😂 I agree they are the best 😂

[@doublesdetailer7709]

crisps flavour agreeeeee- walkes salt n vineger

[@sergioin3D]

That’s so cool

[@f2pgamer828]

Like this for the "Date Video" happen

[@chloes5043]

One OK Rock is coming to Paris in October I can't wait 🎉

[@seerasan]

Ahhh hope you can get tickets! I’ll be away during the Tokyo dates and I’m devastated!

[@CJ-nm8sw]

You should come here to Buffalo, NY if you like the snow, hahaha. It's wild here.

[@saturdayzup]

Dieses Kindheitsfoto mit den Deutschlandflaggen ist so unglaublich Deutsch.. 😂😂😂 Musste so lachen.

[@BabyPepperPotMay2009]

War das während der Fußball-Weltmeisterschaft 2006 in Deutschland?

[@isaacplaysbass8568]

You mentioned that you swim; where do you prefer to swim, open water, pool, which is your preferred stroke? I've signed up to do a charity swim this autumn, so I'm training for the distance, and need to aclimatise to the colder water temps.

[@seerasan]

50m outdoor pools are my fav. Freestyle is my best stroke. Used to do ocean race swims, but not since I was a teenager haha Good luck with the charity swim!

[@HushedHermit]

Yakushima looks amazing, my wife is from Kyushu but I’ve never heard of it. Next time we go to visit her family I wouldn’t mind going there
