"I like to imagine that all of the knowledge I gain from studying is stored in my poop hat." I paused, I had to laugh.

[@ezahh]

Ikr and he looks so serious while saying it hahaha

[@rodney7780]

That shit was krayyy he's funny as fck

[@danna660]

I would like you to know that no matter how long your video is, I will always watch them. I enjoy everyone of your videos. You two are wonderful!

[@TexaninTokyo]

That's so sweet! Thank you~

[@LMLification]

Hear, hear!

[@nonenone4204]

I agree with Danna, actually personally I enjoy longer videos more than short ones. Especially when it comes to the day in my life series!

[@roseridgley6923]

I agree with Danna! I love your videos!

[@jaspr1999]

Funny Pokemon Go story. We live in North Texas right in the middle of several ranches. My neighbor told me a couple of kids were walking across his pasture paying more attention to their phone than their surroundings. He yelled for them to watch where they were going and when they finally looked up from the phone they were head to head with a longhorn steer... At which point they screamed and ran. The steer just continued doing what they do and kept grazing but the kids freaked out over a bull with horn width bigger than they were tall. My neighbor had a long talk with the kids parents over it, but had a hell of a time keeping a straight face in front of the kids. He said their freak out was hilarious and he doubted they'd ever not pay attention to what's around them after that. Thank you for the video! You guys are such a sweet couple!

[@ryanminnick6730]

I'll admit I laughed when he whipped out that avacado

[@YouFoundBen]

Same

[@martink9797]

I literally laughed out loud. Suddenly... AVOCADO. (or Avacado if you want to spell it the authentic TiT way)

[@josiebeisner608]

Obsolete Acc ddddddddddd

[@EasyA07]

Y'all are the definition of 'relationship goals' ❤️ thank you for all your efforts and sharing your life with us!

[@EasyA07]

Oh yeah and I'd watch an hour long video if you made it Grace so don't worry! ^.^

[@elizabethchiavetta7930]

I'd watch a 20min video from you guys. your videos always seem so short. 😔 we love watching you guys.

[@frostbiteheated3167]

Same but it would be too hard for them. You have to think about that too but it would still be awesome

[@alexisaurigemma3454]

That's why we should buy grace's comic books and donate on patreon! So they can make anything they put their minds to :)

[@Joey1229]

Yes! The longer the better for me tbh

[@Sailor-Rose]

"Lets be honest, everything he makes is delicious", said not two minutes after making bitter-melon milkshake... Me: LIES!!!

[@caitparkerart]

That kinda cracked me up, too, lol.

[@soundxcrash]

every time ryosuke opens his mouth he shares such wise wisdom . I love that his knowledge is all saved in his poop hat extordinary tips thank you

[@seyrahz]

Grace, you've asked before what people like about your Day in My Life videos, and I think this one is a great example. Nothing glamorous or exciting happens today, and yet you don't edit out the humdrum bits. In a world where we seem to get the highlights reel of everyone else's life or story, your video feels authentic and honest. It's like we're there with you. Thanks for this.

[@KerenWang]

consistent long format is the new KZbin craze

[@Laurilue13]

I have zero issues watching a 7.5 min video. I watch 15 min videos without a second thought.

[@leigh7569]

Avocado Ice Coffee: Soon to be a new trend in LA.

[@TexaninTokyo]

haha I should open a cafe then :D (Ryosuke)

[@Ashley-ym6sk]

I just discovered your channel a few days ago and I have watched all of your "Day in my Life" videos. Its not that I don't enjoy all the other videos, I watch them too. I genuinely enjoy your channel and the content that is produced. The feeling that we are welcomed into your lives, wither it be through vlogs or more scripted content, is something all KZbin creators strive to achieve. You are doing this wonderfully. Thank you for continuing to produce quality content.

[@YKhydrangea]

OMG! You got abs now!! I'm so excited for you and you must feel so proud! That's not an easy task. I'm using you as my inspiration goal haha. If possible do you think you can make a vid of what you and your husband do as workout routine? It would be very motivating but if not that is completely fine, love your guy's channel, fighto! :D

[@caitparkerart]

I second that. I'm getting ready to dive back into exercising regularly (hope to start tomorrow) and would love to see what you guys are doing, too.

[@frostbiteheated3167]

Third that, Ryosuke's results are what i need

[@sherlocked3884]

I really love your Videos. I had a very hard time the last few months and when I saw your videos it made me cheer up a lot and I watched every single one. It makes living more fun and less depressing by seeing you two. you are so grounded and normal and so much different from all those KZbinrs who have all this glamorous lifes and always big activities. Those made me feel very tired and sad, because my life isn't exciting at all (at least not in a good way). Seeing you two makes me realize, that even if you're not always partying or even if you don't have lots of money, you can still have a wonderful life. you can have a normal every day life and still be happy and this gives me so much hope and happiness, it warms my heart seeing you. And I'm finally motivated again to be diligent and do something for my happiness. And I found my enthusiasm for japanese and japanese culture again. Thank you guys so much! :3

[@James-uv8hy]

Little known fact, but all the great philosophers and thinkers throughout human history have worn poop-hats whilst they read.

[@KINGJESS916]

You two are flipping awesome. There isn't a video that has not been informative, funny and Cute. Both of you are adorable with each other and I wish you good luck and many more happy days.

[@jennywalton3366]

Been having a horrible few days, so bad I cracked open a beer with dinner. (A 6-pack lasts me 3 months!) THANK YOU for making me LOL, smile big, and feel like I'm visiting friends. *hugs* from KC!

[@deborahschwartz5404]

You should try not using ice cubes and instead freezing the bananas (and any other fruit you put in) for smoothies. It comes out kind of like sorbet or soft ice cream and it's really good :). I always add some sort of fruit juice if I want it a bit more liquidy

[@Joey1229]

The longer the video the better in my opinion! I'd watch an hour long video and be excited about it lol

[@Kirikaeru]

I love watching your "Day in My Life" vids. ^_^ Definitely my fav series on the channel!

[@teraphIl1000]

I had a big goofy smile on my face during the whole video; like, I don't know why, but this particular vlog was just so sweet! ^-^

[@TexaninTokyo]

Awww that's great to hear! Yay :D

[@RaphaelMelozzo]

The cicadas really full of life in this video haha. Fun video! For the smoothies, try freeze the bananas. They really improve the taste/texture and you don't have to worry about spoilage!

[@jennb5833]

Love that necklace you wore in this video. You two are super adorable. Very sweet when you were walking hand in hand and then hubby spun you around. Enjoy these videos.

[@moony4239]

You guys are fun and very informative, so I always get excited when I see a long video! So, don't be deterred! Ok?

[@DefiningLiz]

Seven minutes is short and easy to fit in anywhere in the day, but I'd just as happily watch a half hour episode of you guys instead of an episode of something on Netflix, any day. :)

[@peace4myheart]

I do understand that length of video is important as some people don't have a long attention span or enough time to watch it in one sitting. However, the length is never an issue for people if the content is enjoyable and entertaining to watch. Anyway, just want to say I've found your channel last week and am now watching your videos from the beginning. It will take me a while to catch up but it is worth it bc you guys are so awesome!

[@alyssearceneaux4781]

I'm heavily emotionally invested in this relationship. Thank you for being a great example of a healthy married couple.

[@gnosticsam]

"When I read a book, I imagine all of my knowledge through books will be stored in my poop hat!" HAHAHA! I am a new subscriber to this channel, love it.

[@ljcl1859]

Wow Grace!!! Good for you on the getting in shape and the Abs. You look great and more importantly healthy. Inspirational!

[@viking8864]

Thank you for what you do. Miki and I just recently left Okinawa and are very home sick. Watching you guys comforts us. If you ever visit the states and go to see Mount Rushmore let us know :)

[@MegKonrad]

I've got muscle envy for your abs, Grace! Really need to get on a good workout/diet routine myself. Well done!

[@sanpakuis5470]

"Have a good dream" honestly sounds more appropriate than "sweet dreams" 😅 colloquial English phrases rarely make sense

[@DTQueen90]

You two are incredibly cute. I love your little conversations in Japanese - besides being cute, they are really helpful for someone studying Japanese so thank you! :)

[@MaaikeInJapan]

Oh that smoothie hahaha Ryosuke should make a video about smoothies :P

[@TexaninTokyo]

That would be like a 30 min video, hahaha

[@benbenbeartrax]

But seriously: could you guys do a little bit more self-made food videos? That would be awesome, because your meals usually look a) tasty, b) not too long/complicated to prepare and c) don't break the bank. Thanks as always for sharing a day in your life!

[@Andrea-fh5vv]

I am interested in smoothies, hope you two do some food videos about it!

[@CopalFreak]

I really enjoy smoothies with banana, flax seed, milk, and peanut butter (I sometimes add a few strawberries).

[@evaa6106]

I miss you two- yours was one of my top favorite channels!! I hope you are both thriving and in good health. You seem like genuinely wonderful people and I wish you all the best! Cheers from Arizona

[@Lorenicities]

I'm so happy I found your channel! You guys are wonderful :)

[@Jolar70]

That was a GREAT one! It was all over the shop, completely unpredictable, but always enjoyable. Took a detour into bitter melon, which I first tried in a delicious omelette at my favorite, home style, Japanese restaurant in the East Village, Umi No Ie! Then raced off for Pokemon hunting and bike rides. Well done! Can't wait to see Grace on "Ninja Warrior"! Was the soft unicorn jealous?....

[@MrPs103]

The way Ryosuke said poop hat at the beginning...your accent is awesome! Made me laugh!

[@herewego1067]

Why am I obsessed with your channel ?

[@caitparkerart]

Because they're intelligent, adorkable, hilarious and provide tons of fun stories and information :) I don't know about anyone else but they make me feel like there's hope for the rest of us, lol.

[@dvdraymond]

Stumbled upon their channel recently, and they have quite literally restored my faith in humanity.

[@clariceleong2017]

F Society I love how Ryosuke and Grace live really simply - no extravagance. They take walks; Ryosuke is such a ball of energy. And the food they eat is simple and healthy too! And I learn more about Japanese culture when I watch these videos. It's such a beautiful lifestyle.

[@mariamakesup1]

your videos make me so nostalgic. my husband and I loved living in the Japanese countryside for 3 years!

[@kuroime7537]

I like your long videos, they help me calm down on stressful days :-)

[@BillionSix]

I immediately started looking around for video of Grace on the Ninja Warrior show. Couldn't find anything. I hope it shows up someday where we can watch.

[@VicAnthropy]

She's on Japanese Ninja Warrior. If you go to SASUKE website she's #58. This was posted on their twitter back in June.

[@BillionSix]

I found that, I think. I mean is there a video of it?

[@xheralt]

The Japanese version isn't televised any more (at least according to wiki)

[@1vamyre]

she said in another vid that they did not show any of the women Including her.

[@xheralt]

Elisha Foster That suxxors. They'll show a grandpa wearing an octopus on his head who always fails on the very first obstacle for the humor value, but not a woman....?

[@Dutchfruitjar]

You two are super enjoyable. I'm so glad I stumbled upon your vlogs! Now I can't imagine going without them. Ryosuke, you remind me a lot of my husband. Smart, talented, and a complete goofball at home. Well wishes to you both!

[@Chujutsu]

Will people sit through 7.5 minutes of video? This video was 11 minutes. We're still watching. Haha

[@TexaninTokyo]

Haha good point! :D

[@koromir]

+Texan in Tokyo yep! I never get bored of your videos. In fact I get email updates when you upload!

[@DanHarkless_Halloween_YTPs_etc]

Grace so unhappy from her hangover at the beginning of the video was a bit of a shock to behold -- she's usually such a ball of sunshine. I have to say it hurt my soul a bit. Nice work on the abs!

[@AustinLittley]

I have a hard time appreciating those artsy walk-away-from-the-camera shots because I always have to imagine you guys coming back to get the camera :P I love your videos! I found your channel last week (as did a lot of other people, judging by Social Blade stats!!!!), and I've already watched about half :D Keep up the good work

[@MsSunny9]

Always love these "Day in my life" videos. And Grace you look AMAZING!!! Way to go girl!

[@dalegaliniak607]

I personally enjoyed Ryosuke's expression when Grace was talking about the ginger+carrot smoothie. It was completely, "I regret nothing."

[@natashahayes7227]

You two are always so amazing. I'm so glad things seem to keep getting better and better for you. You both deserve it very much. ♡

[@tiffanyfelkner8995]

You guys are so cute and loving to each other. Thank you for giving us a glimpse into your lives.

[@yudhishthirrana5597]

I actually like it when you guys upload longer videos, the more the better

[@Redelmopaint]

Literally me before every video screaming, "ITSSSS THE TEXAN IN TOKYO SHOW! BING!!!!" I scared my dog this time and now he wont cone out from under the couch.. ;-;

[@rsxteufel]

they have those in Germany too.... farmer would put fruits that they grow and people would stop by and donate some money.

[@chelsealeilani3045]

I used to go to another KZbinr that always made me super happy. I never thought I'd be happier than when I started watching your videos!

[@jiao512]

its really heart warming whenever im watching you a day in your life video. thank you for being you. love from UK xx

[@itssewxtra1713]

It's pretty awesome that you ended up on my feed! I am from Minneapolis and live in New Zealand with my husband. I love seeing other people doing what I am doing only different=) I feel glued to your channel right now. Also, I appreciate your concern for video length, DITl is different, but you know. You guys are awesome!

[@tonyloatman8492]

he is like an adorable little melon who loves to hear about your day and tell you about his

[@serenitywilliams9379]

You guys live such a simple and healthy life. I watch these videos for some mental clarity.

[@nicholaschang7035]

your videos are never too long.could not stop laughing after the avocado!

[@JimDavies42]

This is great. I only just this week discovered your vlog so I've watched a dozen videos ranging from current stuff to vlogs from last year. Just a year ago you were saying how you didn't enjoy running and in this one you look like a totally different person both physically and mentally. I look forward to continuing to catch up on your videos and see the events that have lead up to this over the year. Keep it up. You guys are so cute together. :)

[@sgitheanach]

just got home and was going watch more of your day in a life videos then I got the notification for this one! Hope y'all are well ❤️

[@TexaninTokyo]

Awww that made my day~ ♪

[@solidust573]

i love it when the vlog starts with really sleepy Grace, until she gets her coffee ☕😆

[@sxcstarz]

i would definitely watch more then 7 min video from you guys, your fantastic to watch! For my 6 week recovery from surgery you guys kept me company :) so thank you for uploading awesome videos and keep up the awesome work!

[@MADanimeGURL3]

Watching this before bed is really relaxing :) You guys were the highlight of my day

[@KristinaMarie96]

I don't mind longer videos.

[@irishrose0211]

My husband and I just started watching your videos and we love them! We have always wanted to visit Japan. You guys seem like you'd be the funniest translators/tour guides! You always go on so many adventures and try the best foods😊

[@yenielu5065]

YOU SHOULD MAKE A FITNESS VIDEO CAUSE IT BODY IS GOALS

[@DILODIN100]

You just seem so nice together :) Video lengths are good!

[@23thGIRL]

I love Long videos from you!! Seeing both of you is so relaxing.

[@Ayumi-km4xi]

YOU ARE BODY GOALS HONESTLY. TEACH ME YOUR WAYS, SENSEI

[@TheBarefootRev]

I really don't find your videos long, you all are easy and fun to watch and your non-vlog videos don't drag on at all. :)

[@FennecTheRabbit]

I love y'all's videos (y'all are adorable). As for the smoothies, since I HATE adding ice to mine I freeze the bananas instead (for some reason we only like to eat slightly green bananas out of hand in my house, so spotty ones go to waste if I don't) and use those in my smoothies. Also if you have a ton of spotty bananas, if you cut them into chunks, freeze them, and then blend them it turns into a healthy alternative to ice cream.

[@chefykitty]

absolutely will watch a seven minute video and even longer ones! you guys are some of my favorite youtubers

[@spartanofsat]

Have you ever tried freezing the banana instead of using ice cubes, it works better for me and the smoothie then doesnt get the watered down flavor from having so much water in it.

[@minachananimefan]

as always it calms me down and makes me happy

[@theodoreg19]

5min. 7min. 20min. I would still watch your vids all the way through.

[@N02F3AR02]

Veggie smoothies are fantastic. Flax seed goes really well in oatmeal to. If you do instant rolled oats, just put it in before the boiling water and you don't even notice it.

[@rachelm9046]

As always, these videos put a smile on my face. Love you two!

[@zombiebunnyposse4273]

Ok, I've watched several of your videos. After watching this one, I am officially subscribing to your channel. Keep up the great work.

[@mykest7adventures]

I discovered this channel a few days ago and i think you guys are amazing, i love Japan and you help me understand more about it. Just found a new channel to watch so thank you and keep up the good work!!

[@Misscoolshoez]

You two are adorable! Sending hugs from Dallas!

[@flippyhairproduction]

I really want to say thank you for putting your life out there for us to enjoy. :) I just found your channel recently and for the past few days I've found myself coming back every single day to watch. Your videos have a nice calming effect. I love seeing all the adventures you both have (especially all the food!) and the day in the life videos are my favorite. :D They inspire me to be productive and positive every day. Anyway, sorry for all the gushing. :P I just felt compelled to thank you. I hope you both have many happy years together and continue sharing them with us.

[@stephaneyferguson8394]

Ya'll are so cute! Grace, good job working on those abs! You look so good! Ryosuke, your food always looks so good! Even the bitter melon smoothie. I make really weird smoothies with spinach and mango! haha

[@baomao9487]

I really enjoy watching your videos

[@Syrephine]

lil, loved this. I laughed when you said Ryosuke makes the best food but I wanted to say except for the bitter melon smoothie? 😊💖😹 LOL. Glad you had a great trip to NY and safely back home. you are looking great.

[@INTPMann1957]

Grace was on Ninja Warrior? Post a link, please!

[@icequeen9]

Apple carrot and ginger veggie juice is soo delicious. (A little cube of beetroot is good for you, makes your juice purple, and as someone who doesn't like beetroot at all I can say it doesn't flavour the juice in that amount.) Really perks you up in summer, too. Back in high school I'd take a big bottle of frozen veggie juice, and by the afternoon, when I was washed out and exhausted, I'd drink it, and it was like it gave me instant energy. Straight to the brain. If you like the flavour, you should totally save up and get a juicer. Honestly, it's a godsend in summer. Only thing I will say, is if you don't rinse it out within an hour it's gonna be tough to clean. But it's easy to get into that habit.

[@lukemitchell5470]

Watching your videos has given me hope that there is at least someone out there who puts avocados in their cup with ice...and that true love exists...

[@virginiaallen-dickerson5702]

If I marry someone that loves me even half that much, I'd be one of the luckiest women alive! You two are truly my goal in life.

[@supersarahthepink02]

Just found your videos a couple days ago. Love love love them. I've been binge watching.

[@haylz27]

I love it when you post long videos! The longer the better. :) It helps me unwind and I love your videos

[@sweetcanada17]

Carrot & ginger smoothies are great for lunch. :) I do that too. I also add flax seed to that, and a raw egg for protein.

[@iweeb4u]

Really enjoyed this video! I always enjoy your ADIML videos, & I could watch much longer videos too! I gotta admit, I always laugh at Rousuke's jokes haha

[@MsChimerical]

I love how Ryosuke tells everyone to have a good dream :)

[@TexaninTokyo]

Haha thanks! I want everyone to have a good dream :D (Ryosuke)

[@mnickrowe]

Grace- you are rocking those abs gurllll! I kept thiking the tomatoes Ryouske picked up from the honor system veggie vending machine were cherries, the tomatoes are around the same colour and they're so small!!

[@Nerdtinkerer]

Aaaand subbed. You two are seriously adorable together. Been to Japan four times, and still learning new stuff from your channel. Oyasuminasai!

[@bhoylhogro5093]

in the voice of Honest Trailers' Epic Voice Guy: "AAAAAAABBBBSS"

[@arika5067]

I am a new fan & I love the videos & the idea behind them.

[@johnkeene8964]

YES! make longer vids! I like watching/listening to u guys while I draw and paint. I've always wanted to know what Japan is like, and you guys Crack me up! soooooo win win!:D keep it up.
