Indeed! I'm girl and was thinking of doing something similar if I ever could afford, I'm Brazilian though, love Japanese food, yoga, meditation, I like stylish and humble though, I'd add some flowers and an entire spot for growing food myself because I like fresh raw natural, a spot to read books, also a spot to come home and roll on floor relaxing like what I saw in a Japanese serie. I also don't watch TV for over 20 years now I think. I abandoned it before everyone did in my country. I love the European Victorian too, Harajuku stuff but I end up choosing place to relax. But I love movies...I'd prob have a huge screen to share with friends. I got rid of many shoes and clothings, I still think I have too much, but I thought other people would feel happier wearing them because although I loved them, I wasn't able to use them all, It honestly was the best choice...I love drinking tea and having nice different meals so prob kitchen would be nice, but bathroom would be super relaxing. But I never want to stay alone....Don't want a too big house, but necessary space to workout and maybe do some taichi training and other stuff that are healthy, friends could join! I also prefer in the nature, but I'd have a tiny starbucks cafe to make matcha frapuccino cause it's my favorite drink, haha! Right now I'm still super poor, I eat on Japanese bowl and don't use fork for the past...11 years? I got bamboo hashi. I can't own animals but wanted to adopt some to make me company. I wish best friends could always come home though...to laugh together...my entire life...I live only by myself, can't picture too big room without friends.

And that makes him hotter than a Middle Eastern climate. 🎵🎶

It’s somewhere to just enjoy life and be easy. Thank you for sharing this. My soul felt balanced watching this video. It’s chill but FAR from boring. His house is to inspire not just emotional balance but meaningful interactions.
