Life Update

[@TexaninTokyo]

Hi friends! We wanted to just say "hi" and "thank you" and "I hope you're doing amazing!" and "we miss you and we're so thankful that everyone was so understanding about us stepping away from KZbin"

[@ChainsawCheese]

I honestly figured you stepped away because you were expecting. From what I remembered of your last video, you were cleaning because people were coming over. I thought maybe you were telling them the news. I’m glad to hear you have the family you wanted. Love from Texas to Japan.

[@iheartveronicamars]

You guys look fantastic.

[@steven789]

❤ So nice to hear something from you guys. A whole load of memories of your channel came back. I’m finally visiting Japan again in September since it was delayed from the world events.

[@CoartneyGrace]

So happy to hear your family is doing well! It was lovely to get an update from y’all!

[@trishpacheco7586]

You both look amazing. You are greatly missed. I think of you two from time to time, wondering how your life is going. Thank you so much for checking in with us. Yay, you're married and have children. It's wonderful, life is what you make it. When I miss you two I watched the snake venom beer video. You too compliment each other very well. Take care and hope to see you soon, ❤ from California.

[@senfulsarah6663]

I've already posted a comment but I was so excited I forgot to ask about one thing that I've been wondering about (which is years of wondering and thought).... are you still doing your comics and/or books? I have the ones you published while still active on KZbin. I also remember asking either you or MYK

[@prmartin7259]

You have made a 81 year old man so happy. Love the update, so happy that the two of you are just like the way you were. Thanks for the update. 😂😂

[@niks1life]

You have 81 likes. ❤️

[@SomeTigerBass]

I'm a fully grown middle-aged man, and I nearly cried with joy seeing this in my subs list! It's like a surprise message from a long lost family member. So glad that you're doing well

[@TexaninTokyo]

Surprise! Haha

[@ramencurry6672]

Everyone is crying. Like a family reunion

[@NMierLaVeau]

100000% my same feeling!

WHAT AN UNEXPECTED SURPRISE. Total blast from the past. Glad you're all doing well and thanks for the update. Please PLEASE update us from time to time again.

[@TexaninTokyo]

Surprise! haha

[@Art3mis1990]

1.200+ people, just from the comments alone. That's how many people still remember you fondly after 6 years, and probably there're many more! All because of the wonderful wholesome content you made. that is such a beautiful positive impact to have on the world. :) thank you, all the best to you and your loved ones!

[@TexaninTokyo]

It feels like a college reunion! So many familiar faces and fun memories

[@milliedragon4418]

Can't believe that was six years ago, I remember watching you guys, I'm glad to see that you're happy, you have a family, it's wonderful I'm also glad that Ryosuke hasn't lost he's sense of humor

Thank you so much for updating us! We're really glad to see you again and hope this goes on for the next years to come!

I wasn't expecting people to find this video so quickly! The KZbin algorithm works so quickly. Thanks for swinging by to say hi!

Man this feels like randomly running into old friends.. Good to see you're doing well 🍻

[@cryptiiica]

I’m actually sobbing right now. I started watching your channel when I was in the last year of an abusive marriage. Watching your videos brought so much happiness in that dark time of my life. Seeing how much time has past and you both so happy, and my self happy. This is like full circle, it’s so good to see you. Thank you for the update!

[@TexaninTokyo]

I'm so sorry to hear that, and glad that our channel brought happiness in such a bad time :( I so hope you're in a much better place now!

[@PyroPisces]

I just got the notification for this video and I literally couldn't believe it! I never thought you'd ever post again, but I always hoped you guys were happy and healthy. So nice to hear about ya'll!!!

[@TexaninTokyo]

We honestly never expected it either! But it felt like a great time to quickly swing by to say "hi" and "thank you"

[@emmawelch]

My heart skipped a beat! I couldn't believe it when I saw your thumbnail!! Thank you both so much for this sweet update! It makes me so deeply happy that you're both doing so well :') I'm so proud of you two and you don't owe any of us anything, but this was amazing! Thank you for bring a bright spot in my month 🥳

[@TexaninTokyo]

Thank you so much

[@genoo1537]

Emotional...I thought about this channel once every 2 years. Always wondered how your lives are going. Glad to see your well! Happy memories.

[@SharikaTee]

This has given me closure I didn’t know I needed 😭 so thrilled to see you healthy and thriving and as adorable as ever. I will now nostalgia watch all your old videos 😎

[@TexaninTokyo]

Thanks, we didn't know we needed this closure too! Nostalgia is all over the place! Ryosuke

[@KSilverlode]

Oh my gosh, this made me so happy! You were my favorite KZbinrs while you were doing the channel, and while I was always in support of your stepping away to live your life without the camera, I often thought about you and wondered how you were doing. Thanks so much for checking in and letting us know; it was lovely to see your faces again! I would love it if you wanted to do that from time to time in the future. Congrats on the kids and the happy life, and I hope things continue great for you! 💕

[@TexaninTokyo]

Thank you

[@DmanUNT2014]

We appreciate you checking in! Im glad to see you two are doing well. ❤

[@TexaninTokyo]

Thank you! And I hope you're doing fantastic as well!

[@onyeenoma]

Came back. Please make another update in a few more years at least! I remember watching y'all as a kid/teen. But yeah, the happiness from your marriage literally shines through the video! I'm glad to see you're both happy after all these years! Love you all!

[@kemushichan]

Such a joy to see you both thriving like this! ❤️❤️❤️ Two sunbeams! Thanks for sharing your smiles and brightening our days.

[@TexaninTokyo]

Thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I love that you're doing so well and having such a great time! Wishing lots of love and happiness to your family!!!

It's a relief to hear Ryosuke still loves poop 💜

[@TexaninTokyo]

the most important part of any update

[@tashthewriter]

I am 100% happy with a twice-per-decade life update - this was so much fun! I am so happy you guys are happy and healthy. Congrats on the kids and I am so glad you are keeping their childhoods private. As someone who works with kids, I can tell you that does not happen often.

[@Mellybellymelon22]

aw this made me cry!! I used to love watching your videos when I was 13 now I am 24! I am so happy to you guys thriving and having the family you guys wanted. I wish you guys the most wonderful life!

[@abrahamhernanaucoin4332]

That’s insane I was 24 when they said goodbye now I’m 30 😂

[@Veerexx]

Oh wow 6 years. Glad to hear you are going well. Wishing you guys all the best just in life in general. It really is nice just having this little time capsule

[@TexaninTokyo]

This old channel feels very much like a time capsule of KZbin circa 2015. So much has changed and it's really cool to be in that moment again!

[@VossBC]

My daughter is 13, is studying Japanese, and wants to go to Japan. We live in Texas. I remembered your channel from years ago, and just last month I showed her several of your videos. You are both amazing and positive people, and I was so happy to get to share those memories with my daughter. Thank you for this update, and congratulations on your family!

[@TexaninTokyo]

That is a very sweet story of yours! Thanks for sharing that! Please say Ganbatte to your daughter for me! Ryosuke

[@u140550]

😂 it’s sad that y’all aren’t coming back, but happy to see you all are alive; and well!! Y’all are great, and Funny as usual. I guess see you in another 2-10 years!!

[@TexaninTokyo]

I'm sure it's just going to fly past 😂😂😂

[@vs2956]

I audibly gasped when I saw that you posted! I think about y'all from time to time and have so much respect for y'all's decision. So many of us are now looking back at the time that you've been gone and thinking about how *we* have changed while you were also changing. So glad you've built the family you wanted and that you're both happy and well. You didn't owe us anything, but this little piece of closure feels like a ray of sunshine (like Ryosuke's t-shirt) ☀

[@isabellaalexandra7943]

The amount of pure joy and super happy nostalgia this just sparked back into my life is immeasurable and it is magical to get to see you both again!!! Please stay well!!

[@TexaninTokyo]

Thanks for joining us on this trip down memory lane!

[@ActualLiliCakes]

My husband and I watched all your videos during lockdown. It was my second viewing but you guys always made me smile and I wanted to share that with him since we are mixed culture couple and I transplanted to a new country after we got married. So yeah, your journey really resonates with us. Seeing you now, all happy and silly and beaming about your family is maybe the best epilogue to your adventures. Thabks for giving us a glimpse into your life now. ❤

[@TexaninTokyo]

Adapting to a different culture can be challenging, so remember to have fun by being silly every once in a while! Ryosuke

[@nyquilnu2221]

Selfishly I want to say that even with the dozens and dozens of amazing Japan related content creators we have nowadays, you guys will always be my favorite. Thank you again for sharing so much with us over those years. Congrats on the family! Wishing for continued joy and happiness in your lives!

Thank you for checking in. If this is the LAST video you release, be happy that you left on a high-spirited and happy note. Selfishly I’m glad I can remember Texan in Tokyo in this way instead of what was a sad pair of videos after you made a difficult decision. I hope you download all your videos, in case YT goes away, so your children can enjoy them when they’re grown. Don’t hesitate to guilt trip them by showing what you sacrificed for them 😊 j/k

I'm glad to hear you remembered our channel as what it was, instead of how it ended! Either way, I agree! This seems like a much happier note to end on.

very unexpected. your send off videos *were* sad! this was unexpected cathartic, it's like closure. your videos from the past preserve/represent a bygone era in youtube/internet history (edit: and to an extent an bygone era in your and our lives), so this feels like a relic reviving for a fleeting moment before disapparating. Omg kids!, you really did make your fairytale ending come true. so beautiful. also that looks like an American house lol

I have never clicked on a video faster ❤ thank you for the update and it's great to see you are still going strong!

I remember finding you guys years ago! I was so excited to find people who were so different from me making a great life for themselves and realizing that we really weren't that different at all now that I'm older. I am glad that you put yourselves and your family first. I think, considering a lot of the things seen on the internet these days, you made a perfect decision. Thank you for updating and I wish you both much continued success and happiness. 💙

I was so surprised to see this video pop up. I'm glad you guys are doing well and seem happy! Thanks for popping in and saying Hi!

[@casinobeachbum]

I've really missed you guys. I marathon binged your videos back in 2017. You helped me get through some tough times.

Words cannot describe the joy I felt seeing this in my feed! I used to watch your videos years ago religiously, and just checked your channel about a week ago wondering if there were any updates. I'm so glad to hear about how your life is going and about your beautiful family 💖💖Thank you for the update and please take care of yourselves!

Woah, this was a surprise notification to see! Great to see you both, and congrats on all the life success!

it is beyond amazing to hear about you again, even just for one video. I'm so happy to hear about all the amazing things that have been happening for you two. Whenever your videos would inevitably pop up in my recommended, I often times found myself wondering if you were doing alright, and hearing that you are puts my mind at ease. Thank you for letting us know that you're doing great!! you guys were apart of a very formative part of my life, and really did show me that you can go anywhere as long as you are happy. Seeing you still going strong makes me get nostalgic in the best way possible. Thank you, and I hope you both are healthy and happy until next you post (in a few years of course!) and you can bet I'll be back to see how everything is going.

Thank you! Wishing you a very happy life full of your own fun adventures! Thanks for joining us on this little nostalgic trip.

I looked back at this page on a whim that just maybe y'all posted something, and I'm glad I did! Glad to know that everyone is ok! 💗

Thank you so much for this update 🥹❤️. Your videos mean so much to me and still give me so much comfort. I have a Japanese mum but I didn‘t grow up there, and while I‘m fluent in Japanese, I didn‘t feel like I was all too interested in Japan. Your videos helped me to re-connect with the Japanese part of my identity back in the day and I really really appreciate it so much. I realised that it‘s such a big part of who I am. So thank you so much. ❤️ (I‘ve always wanted to have the opportunity to do so, because being „half“ is so beautiful but also complex). I truly wish you and your family the most wonderful life.

OMG! You guys 🥲 so lovely to see your faces and hear your update, I do wonder how you’re doing sometimes when I re-read your comics and have the odd video come up in my KZbin memories/feed. So glad to hear you’re doing well and have a happy family 🧡 echoing the comments that it’s like hearing from a long-lost family member. Much love to you both!
