Finally Rewatching My Tiny Apartment Video

[@amber0299]

Past Emma: this plant is soo cute, and it's doing great! Present Emma: DIED.

[@jykejokinen]

Can't wait for commentary in 4 years...

[@56MightyMike]

So funny - I laughed every time

[@4ksandknives]

As she sips the whiskey like a boss

[@aia8036]

Emma's so emo abou the plants "died" died. died." I love it. SO much.

[@TokidokiTraveller]

I just wanted to be honest 😂 those poor plants, not too much chance of survival in that place 😅

[@aia8036]

@@TokidokiTraveller And that's totally understandable, environment is a big thing for plants!

[@TheDragonaf1]

Physical item: "I still have that!" Plant: "Died"

Well, she still has the monstera :)

[@DarkQuaz]

Old Emma in pastel colors: "Here's a plant I have. Ain't he cute!" New Emma all in black: "I T D I E D"

That was the first video of yours I ever watched and I've been enjoying your Japan videos ever since! I still can't believe that was 4 years ago. ~Audrey

[@robertvanroon2128]

We all seem to be a KZbin algorithm family 🙏🏼🤗

[@meacadwell]

Same here. Found her channel when watching other tiny house youtube videos and have stayed for the ride.

[@RainartXIII]

Same here. It's been a hot minute, huh?

[@Lizs_Favs]

Ditto!! Emma totally got me into japan travel videos 💕 She has the best vlogs. Can’t believe it’s been 4 years!!!

[@katarinacmar4874]

Same!

[@KickThePj]

a couple of weeks ago I also rewatched your tiny apartment video! and now i'm watching you rewatch your tiny apartment video. maybe I can film it and you can watch me watch you rewatch your tiny apartment video.

[@Lisallamaa]

I mean I'd watch it.

[@PlyLilian]

Yeah, please do!

[@TokidokiTraveller]

Oh shoot good idea! Then I can film me watching that so you can watch me watch you watch me rewatching my tiny apartment video The word watch has no meaning to me now and looks weird

[@bunnyorbs]

watch me watch u watching emma watch her tiny apartment video

[@idaprins1462]

YOO PEEJ

[@tashak3427]

I first found out about your channel from a fellow channel “Living big in a tiny house”🧡Since then i am here and i love it!💐

[@alisameiah5035]

omg! same!

[@ParticulaDeTacere]

Same! 😂

[@the_listamin]

Me too. And then years later I got back to her via Abroad in Japan and asked myself: "Don't I know that person from somewhere?"

[@Weesc]

Yup, me too. Now I’m subscribed to her channel.

[@Ravenesque]

same!

[@geekintheshell6669]

In another 4 years you can do Emma reacts to Emma reacting to Emma's tiny apartment. P.S. Treat yourself to a fancy new towel, luxury hour stuff for real adults.

[@geekintheshell6669]

...I should've waited at least another 5 minutes into the video before making that joke, Emma's just that much of a comedy genius.

[@simpleshiftin]

That feeling of not being the same person... That's called growth. Shows how far you've come :)

[@Nynke_K]

Plus: unless something extremely major happens (like having a baby, idk, no experience there), chances are that 2020 Emma won't look as different to 2024 Emma as 2016 Emma does now. There's less growing up in your late twenties!

[@KawaiiLisok]

I would love for Luxury Hour to be a reoccurring segment, we could all need a little self care right now lol

[@Michael-gc8cd]

Everytime past Emma shows a plant present emma....."died" 🤣🤣🤣 xx

[@noahjaybee]

This is actually just an In Memoriam for all of Emma's plants

[@Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr862]

Past Emma: “If you’re squeamish, look away now.” Present Emma: 👀 Agh, that’s mega-f**ked.

[@Melissandrel]

That's how I started watching your vids meanwhile I still live in the same tiny apartment in Paris XD I need to move!

[@Melissandrel]

the recurring joke of the plants update XD

[@Cchheeyy]

Is it me or does she sound so Aussie in this video? Loved when she said “ah it’s mega f****d” in the strongest accent 💕😂

[@chloeelena1765]

"this was a dumb edit" portion, was the best portion. Please do more dumb edits. K thx. Keep up the good work P.S. don't tell Uncle Roger that MSG is bad for you

[@JQJayson]

Thank you for this, Emma. I really needed a laugh. "Luxuuurrrrrry," "aww, it's mega-f***ed," and your dead plant count did the trick.

[@Kariatansky]

I feel the same about myself from 5 years ago. A child, insecure about NONSENSE.

[@iamtaylorb]

As soon as I saw the cords I started laughing about the pool noodle 😂 so grateful for you, Emma.

[@TokidokiTraveller]

TAYLOR I SEE YOU AND LOVE YOU

[@karensoto235]

You seem to be having so much fun with the editing lately and I love it!

[@TokidokiTraveller]

Thank you! I'm enjoying it a lot more these days ^^

[@tobybartlett]

Video shows any plant, camera cuts to 2020 emo Emma wearing all black: “And it died hahaha” Too hilarious! Cheers from 🇨🇦 😀

[@tankgirllovesroos]

It's pretty cool to see your personal growth that's visible in your confidence in front of the camera. You were a natural to begin with though.

[@ObscureAlternatives]

You deffo sounds way more confident now. I think that's the difference between 4 years ago Emma and now Emma's voice.

[@_SirJavier_]

Imagine the person who is now living there and doesn't know that is in such an iconic place.

[@VictoriaPitt01]

I love how you've grown as a person. I also love the new look- it's sexy and authoritative and I love the growth into adulthood. :)

[@keithpn83]

I remember watching this back in 2016..

[@shizu8088]

"This was in my control but I... uh... ..." honestly, same though.

[@coryboatz4434]

Funny the tiny apartment video was the first of yours I watched

[@ivangenc]

FOUR YEARS EXCUSE ME. HOW HAS IT BEEN THAT LONG

[@Pattycakes236]

I love how you just said “it died” to your air plant that you were so happy about in the video! 😂 That apartment video was where I first subscribed and I’m still here! Love the new you 🙃 greetings from America!

[@ulfar321]

The amount of times you said "Died" I started thinking your plants were playing dark souls "YOU DIED"

[@emiliaburgos5404]

Discovered this through Living big in a tiny house, and a lot of the comments were about shipping you with the host of the show lol

[@UnreasonablyNiceEE]

Same! And then i watched a few more vids and i was hooked! It was hilarious hearing the plant status XD

[@TokidokiTraveller]

LMAO yup, it was his girlfriend that was in the apartment filming us the whole time 🤣 I think when two people are on screen together people read into it as much as they can haha

[@emiliaburgos5404]

@@TokidokiTraveller oh my 😂 anyway glad I discovered your channel through that video 💙💙

[@ashakydd1]

I am showing this to my gf the next time she says our place is small. Also, I have had the same set of bathroom towels for literally 20 years. My parents bought them for me and they are really high quality. They've barely faded and are still in fantastic shape. Also, also, just use zap ties to bundle up your cables to tidy them up. If I actually knew you and lived in the same city, I would do it for you for a beer and some famichiki.

[@PetitMew]

This video became Emma going "died. Died... Yeah died."

[@joerogansrealmpodcast]

You kill me everytime Emma 🤣 one of the many reasons why I love Tokyo Creative

[@kayleighredmond3654]

The personal growth from then to now! You love to see it.

god I was OBSESSED with this video when it came out, I was so in awe of this girl that was living the life in Tokyo (and I still am!)

[@RachelEinTheRain]

Past Emma: And I've got this cute little plant here..... Present Emma: D E A D. 💀 🤣🤣

[@Trillora]

MY first Tokidoki Traveler video was actually the one where you were in Akihabara with Kim Dao! It was a KZbin suggestion after I'd watched a Reina Scully video, and I became an INSTANT fan of yours - I even went back and watched all of your previous videos! I've been a Tokidoki Traveler fan ever since 😊. Emma, I'm SO happy you're still making videos and bringing us so much joy AND honesty - your authenticity has always stood out, as well as your fabulous sense of humor. You are truly in my Top 5 favorite KZbinrs/content creators of all time. You rock!!

[@Alkusanat]

Baby Emma... killing almost all her plants. Look how far she's come!

[@Ariplaygames]

Drink everytime Emma says "it died!" or "DEAD" about the plants hahahaha

[@knife-wieldingspidergod5059]

It was a massacre!

[@keanenjacobs7486]

Ahhhh i remember this video, emma's beginning years are so nostalgic, the optimistic vagabond, exploring, fascinated by everything she sees just enjoying the scenery, really wonderful to see how she's grown booth literally and figuratively over these past few years🌟🌻👌

[@arikarintekarinki2440]

I really like how present Emma just say died whenever her past self trying to save a plant. SUPER CUTE!!!

[@jonathanvogt2]

"It died..." LOL You're like an older sister sassing her younger sis :P

[@ashtree336]

I don't normally laugh after something dies XD rip plant

[@callsignkpop]

Yayyyyyy! Best wakeup notification ever, its the queen of Green and CREAM!! I loved the "nope, died" for literally every plant 😂

[@fayeildefonso]

I enjoyed this so much, especially when you update where things are now, four years after, eg: your plants!!! I LOVE YOU EMMA. I say that all the time. I really do

[@fayeildefonso]

and I'm so happy how you've evolved from your capsule apartment to your tiny apartment, and how, your luxurious apartment! I still wait EVERY SINGLE DAY for your apartment updates. Take your time though, please. And take good good care of your self. Did I tell you yet that I love you? Mwamwah!

[@56MightyMike]

The video being rewatched is the video that made me a subscriber. I liked the “soft voice” - and it’s so cool to visit vicariously.

[@allisonmb1930]

Found Emma through a different channels video about her tiny apt. And been here since. Love you Emma!

[@doublezero7850]

Can't wait to watch the "Finally Rewatching My 'Finally Rewatching My Tiny Apartment Video' Video" in 4 years.

[@ozzybwild]

I am probably years late with this, but.. "pipe insulation".. you get it at every hardware story.. forget the "pool noodle". Also nowadays most "dollar / 100Yen" stores carry "reusable velcro zip ties" - they are awesome for cable work, inside and outside of computers. :P

[@emmamendez6230]

🤣🤣 Emma you are too hilarious! I love your reaction to the old video. It’s amazing to see how much we grow.

[@meggzcharm]

I loved the Luxury Hour intro. I can't remember what the first video of yours I watched, but once I watched the tiny apartment video, I was hooked.

[@Sewersquatch]

I also have a towel/s from my childhood. Fully grown and on my own now. I’ve never actually bought towels...and I’m old.

[@EmonyLP]

That video still shows up in my recommendations all the time :D

[@funkyneil2000]

I'm living in a studio apartment in the UK. It's a really well designed place with lots of storage and a reasonably good sized kitchen. But I would really like a separate bedroom and outside space which ironically your tiny apartment had!!!

[@chiizuchi]

but... that cozy up candle? angelic!

[@jdtoledo]

"i feel luxury" - risottoro msg is like other seasoning, you put too much it's bad if you use moderate amounts you'll be alright. Not my words but the scientists that studied about it recently.

[@PatriciaSigaki]

I love that video!! I watched when I was really into tiny house videos, in Brazil, and now I live in the smallest space I've ever lived in Japan (and in my life >

[@marljusweety]

My dad (who is 72 years old) came to visit resently and commented on a towel in my bathroom. It was the towel he used to bring when he went to the lake to swim in the summer when he was a boy. So, no, we do not throw towels away unless they are ruined in some way.

[@soph3mai]

Luxury hour..."good evening lads" BEST INTRO EVER. Aw but seriously, this made me so nostalgic Emma!!!!! As you know I've been here for the long haul and gosh I got a bit emosh watching you struggling to stretch your arms in your old apartment! LOVE U

[@elise6240]

Oh my godddd! I remember watching that video like 3 years ago. I'm so happy you decided to rewatch it :D

[@hp8492]

Emma--i LOVED this! I am one of those that found you through that old video and have stuck around till now. i love seeing videos about your life in Tokyo because moving to Japan is something I often think about, and you make even mundane daily activities interesting to watch just by being yourself!

[@TheEmJaynee]

I have actually watched your tiny apartment video so many times. It was one of the first videos I saw

[@edwardwongks]

KZbin has been recommending me to watch the original video and I've been resisting for so long. When this video came out, I clicked immediately! Two birds with one stone! Sorry to all the plants that died.

[@aliddlebird]

You are just so dope. I hate when I platonically fall in love with a KZbinr, having this impossible idea that if we met in person, we'd be fast friends 😂 Gave me many giggles Emma, I give you many thanks

[@yaminogame7805]

Same lol. I often get like that with youtubers like "If we met we'd be friends and it'd be awesome"

[@aliddlebird]

@@yaminogame7805 I hear ya. Like CrankGameplays. My humor is very similar to Ethan's, and we're both from Maine. I pray someday I'll be beep boppin' around the Old Port and maybe we'll cross paths while he's home to visit family lol.

[@lottiedoyle1103]

Your tiny apartment was the first video of yours I saw 😍 I used it as inspiration to make a Sims 4 build!

[@anamargarida8736]

Fun fact, a couple of years ago I was watching videos on tiny homes / mobile homes and saw your interview with an AU channel, which led to this video, which led to your KZbin channel, which led to a ton more japanese-based channels...which now culminated in moving to Tokyo myself xD

[@jenniferelyse5134]

I cannot believe I’ve been following you for so long! What a ride it’s been! I’ve enjoyed every single video you’ve made. This video was so cute. I have noticed your voice getting deeper as you got older. I think maybe that is part of why you feel differently about it. I can tell the stress of the last couple years has been hard on you, even the way you talk/express your thoughts is different. Not in a bad way at all, just the face of someone who has seen the world more Your bed inspired me to get a loft bed and I’m sitting in it as I type this. You challenged me to think more critically about what is necessary in life. I am now in an 8x8 foot space and having to come up with interesting ways of adapting to the space. I enjoy seeing where this channel goes and thanks for sticking around and including us in all of it!

[@GreenHatemerald]

Shows plant "Died!" I'm crying 😭

[@zapfanzapfan]

You were on some other channel giving a tour of the tiny apartment, that's the first I saw of you and I got stuck. Such a sweet and innocent little plant killer she is, old Emma ;-)

[@socialinteraction_8252]

I find it really funny how right after you, "past Emma" shows the disgusting drain I get an add for pine sol...

[@leon-ns3gr]

Such a small tidbit but like... It's so cool to think about Enter Shikari touring Japan!

[@kieraslater7276]

This is weirdly nostalgic for me, I started watching this channel in freshman or sophomore year of highschool, and now I'm in college! Thank you for taking us all on this journey with you!! It's been so interesting watching and learning about japan, the culture, and every day life!

[@maebee8092]

Didn't realize that I had been subscribed for 4 years. you have come such a long way

[@GloriousAguacate]

That was the first video of Emma's I watched and here I am so many years later, still watching :D

[@chisol3508]

Wow that was nice seeing where you came from and where you are now. You've come so far! Go Emma!

[@docwatt]

This is a video I didn't know I needed! I found the tiny apartment video I think not long after you posted it and have been here ever since!

[@aphishoutofwater7019]

You are a delight as always Emma Please do more Luxury Hours!

[@redoctober6521]

Well done on both the original and the recap. It’s probably one of the first videos of yours I watched a few years ago. You’ve come a long way since then /unfortunately the same can not be said for a majority of your plants... R.I.P. //and nanners in the fridge?

[@EnigmaDave]

Watching the original video years ago directly led to me following Emma, then her friends, and encountering many other amazing people online. It was fun to look back at where it all began.

[@carolartist2415]

I loved the surreal aspects you added! Luxery hour, watching 4 Emmas and Emma in your own eye. Like you lost your mind in the most fun way possible. So helpful to hear prices of 1st, 2nd and now apartments with sizes and what to look out for when newly arriving in Japan. It is easy to fantasize and good to see what the reality might be until you get a longer visa. Thanks for being real on screen and sharing about the bear in these times.

[@jean-raphaelpaquet4968]

I’ve been a fan ever since I’ve seen this video, brings back memories!

[@GingerNinja_2319]

I remember the tiny apartment (and the before situation) and I remember feeling a real sense of space and a weight being lifted when you moved into the apartment after that. I really liked that place 😊

[@christopherdudley2664]

So very glad I was able to see the update from that old video of yours! :)

[@Offensive_Username]

It's thanks to that apartment video that I learnt about air plants. I then went out and bought one which *died* due to *no sunlight* too. I'm now on my second in a new apartment and so far it's even growing a little bit.

[@f.s.7824]

It's because of this video that i discovered your channel so i'm grateful for this tiny apartment too ^^ i enjoyed re watched it with you, thank you !

[@brebeeb]

That video was the first video of yours I ever watched. I love tiny living and have lived in a 12sqm apartment in Sydney for the past 1.5 years. I am happy to be moving out to a bigger place (with a loft!) next week. But I feel the same kind of appreciation for my tiny apartment that you do for yours. I've watched every video since then and I'll be sticking around

[@Luguolo]

I remember I was on a tiny home/apartment video kick YEARS ago and yours really stuck out for some reason, but I didn't think to follow or anything. Then I stumbled over you again in the last couple weeks, and until this video I did NOT connect the dots haha. Cool to see the progress! Especially now with the even bigger apartment, congratz! New sub from me

[@c0unt3ssk1tty3]

That video is how I discovered you!!! I was obsessed with the idea of actually going to Japan and started following all these Japan Vloggers (Taylor R, Sharmander, etc). It’s crazy to know I’ve been following you for 4 years!!!

[@TimEyles]

Enjoyed the little debunk on MSG! Great to cook with, I too was wrongoy taught it was bad for your health. I think that idea is still pretty pervasive in Australia sadly. Thanks for the video.

[@MenthaAquatica]

Emma: "this video is almost *nineteen minutes long*" Also Emma: *makes this video almost 19 minutes long*

[@lynda.grace.14]

Two things that caught my attention: 1. Your empathy for those who found and continue to find themselves in closet-sized spaces in lockdown. Indeed. How heart wrenching to consider it. And 2. The inability to optimize a tiny rental space because you have no power to design it. My Tokyo 30 square meter apartment had so much wasted kitchen space with nowhere for the dishes except under the humungous sink taking up way too much potential counter top. Like Chris Broad I used the ironing board as a countertop. With built-in storage and perhaps a Murphy-style bed in the studio space, I might have made it insanely lovely (but for the lack of insulation and central heating/AC).

[@corryconrad2897]

Iv been watching your videos since I was 11 your videos have helped me through a lot and iv loved watching your channel grow and change!

[@alphamike87]

Great video Emma, I think your small apartment is first video of yours I watched.

[@wendelljf]

Well done. Good times.

[@prabourn]

When I was 14 I went on a family vacation to the beach and bought a special bright pink towel with butterflies on it to relax on. I'm in my late 20s now and literally still use it because it's just so easy to justify keeping a towel.

[@N0odlzOodlz]

That video was how I found your channel (and the tiny house movement since Bryce did a vid on it as well ), and I'm still here woo!

[@Unmei_Ka]

This was a nice trip down memory lane. I joined only a couple of years ago but I have watched all of your videos. It's really cool to see how much you've matured and grown over the course of your videos.

[@Cassiterit3]

I found you years ago because of some tiny house tour video! It was cool to find out later that you had your own channel.
