[@alexdavis5766]

I had a friend who perished in the tsunami who lived near here. She was an exchange student and the sweetest girl. We stayed in contact for years after and would send cards a few times a year. Then a few months after the tsunami hit, I got a message from her cousin saying her and her immediate family had all been taken by the tsunami. I was so upset, she was at uni training to be a vet.

the more casual conversation + genuine laughter moments is weirdly one of the most fun to watch moments for me in these videos

I really enjoyed watching Connor's live streams of their two cycling trips. Just lots of normal sarcastic conversation during a long and painful bike ride. It was great to see the countryside go by slowly, too. Their first trip to Hokkaido really made me want to go there.

[@CoopPaScoop]

This is what I noticed too, the genuine hysterical laughter that just turns to a high pitched wheeze from Chris while reading "da da" and "ga ga" felt so real, and not played up at all. I do like these more in the moment videos that this Journey Across Japan is producing.

The phonetics of Isukiri's name is interesting: The way one would pronounce 'Jesus Christ' in Japanese would be 'Iesu Kirisuto', and it sounds uncannily similar to Isukiri. It's kind of fun to think about what implications it has on Isukiri's conception (being made up lol).

[@jasonkeith2832]

I mean, Jesus traveling to Japan (twice) and living to 106 is on par for theological incredulity when compared to him ascending and then showing up in the Western US, only to be re-crucified by the indigenous people.

[@c.k.1933]

Also similar to the word Iscariot, like Judas Iscariot.

[@RainbowYak]

Eh, it sounds like a Japanese village name that vaguely and coincidentally resembles the Japanese name for Jesus Christ. I can't really see the uncanny part. Besides, even if Isukiri was named after Jesus, it wouldn't be that remarkable. In Central and South America, roughly 90% of towns have a religious name. But just because some town in Mexico or Peru is called Jesucristo or Santa Madonna doesn't mean Jesus and his mom visited the New World. I mean, Latin America was conquered by Catholics after all. And Japan, too, was home to Dominican and Jesuit missionaries in the 16th century. So if we go by Occam's Razor, this would be a far more likely explanation than some dude from 2,000 years ago traveling eastwards for 9,000km to an island he's never heard of for no particular reason.

[@gracekim1998]

Our favorite, was the unintentional jump scare exhibit. Unfortuantely, you can't record or take pictures within the museum anymore, but the jump scare exhibit was the best. We also bought cross candy as a souvenir. You really do need a car to go. Since we were coming from Hachinohe, it was only about 1 hours drive.

There are many other possible ties to Israel in Japan. The Japanese priests have that little black box on their foreheads, like Jewish priests, and their robes are similar. They carry something that looks like the arc of the covenant in some celebrations, and blow a conch like the Jewish priest blows a ram’s horn. Salt is used for purification. There is of course the Star of David which is a common symbol in Japan, and shinto has no idols, no visible gods. There is a rumor that the backside of the imperial mirror has Hebrew writing on the back.
