You can now help add subtitles or correct the auto English CC on my videos! Choose a video you’re interested in and it will assign you a small 2 min chunk to work on🙏🏻💞 Any help is very much appreciated! ✨ crowdscriber.com/app/#/col/sharmeleon-c298d28d

[@Glitchtrapsacrade]

Thanks for that. It's great to translate what you are talking to. I don't hope to visit Japan at some point. Though I would be so lost asking for help, since I don't know any of the language.

[@IKEMENOsakaman]

I participated in Japan's Pokemon stamp rally for the first time when I was 12. Since then, I do it every year, now with my five kids!! I'm happy that I could pass on the baton of Pokemon passion to my children.

[@orwwan]

What a beautiful tradition to enjoy with the little ones 😊

[@cinematicjapan]

@Sharmeleon 😱 more stamp adventures to enjoy???

[@Lisallamaa]

It's pretty neat how Pokémon has endured. I was the same age as my son is now when I first started playing with Pokémon cards and games ans now he likes it too! I hope I can do this stamp rally with my kids some day too (but we are 🇨🇦 so it might not happen soon lol)

[@duelistAKI]

You used Baton Pass to your kids.. it's super effective! 😁♥️

[@ViktorErikFade]

I'm sure there will be many more generations of Pokemon so they can share it with their kids one day too! I love to see comments of Pokemon fan parents sharing fun things like that

[@NiGHTSaturn]

This is so addicting. It’s a shame it’s just for a little while. I’m anxiously waiting for the Japanese government to open up so I can travel to Japan again. I miss it so much you have no idea. Thank you Sharla 😃

[@sharlainjapan]

Just retweeted some updates re: that on my twitter! @heyitssharla

[@NiGHTSaturn]

@@sharlainjapan i’m already following you 😂 Just not on twitter much these days because it’s 70% negative these days! But thank you, i’ll check it out!!

[@Romy-rz4zt]

I hope whomever painted these lids knows how much joy they've brought so many people lately!!

[@pokemonlidadventures]

Everyone is finally getting to see the lids! :)

[@darkfeather111]

Love that Nadine reached out to you and you guys went together, sometimes living in a foreign country can be hard but its nice to see people still try to reach out even to strangers and get to know one another :)

[@eggasmonster101]

I LOVE seeing you collab with other KZbinrs or just other people in general. I find it adds so much to your exploration videos :)

[@ExtremeBuizel]

I like Nadine's smile, it's very comforting somehow

[@porvash]

She is adorable!

[@jacksons1010]

Totally agree - she seemed so happy it made me happy just to watch. 🙂

[@YukeWeiss]

Good on Nadine for reaching out and good on you for taking her along haha!

[@cinematicjapan]

☺️🥰🥰👏🏻

[@jacksons1010]

Nadine was driving; Sharla rode shotgun. Having a car was a big plus for Pokémon hunting and seems pretty uncommon among the expatriates in Japan.

[@hitomitomtom]

I can’t help but look at Nadine. She’s always smiling and it’s so cute. 🥺🤣

[@loopyfrog]

ikr!

[@Zarigueyaa]

Right!? 🥺 hahah so cute

[@HanahS.]

It was lovely to meet Nadine, she was so natural in front of the camera and so lovely so I will definitely be Subscribing to her channel 😊

Hmhm lol you guys are sweet - I too will join Nadine did what all us U.S fans could not and literally joined her on the adventure, we live vicariously through the vlogs ! 😄

[@uwuchildofdoom4208]

@@cinematicjapan we share a name! It's so rare to find another Nadine 👀

[@pokemonlidadventures]

I LOVE the fact that someone with so much reach is showing the lids to an audience outside of Japan! I have been trying to do so but... KZbin lol. Thanks for doing this hunt! Maybe one day we can meet up and do another hunt! I still have over a 100 more to go! :)

[@sharlainjapan]

Yeah would love to!!

[@pokemonlidadventures]

​@@sharlainjapan How many lids from Miyagi did you not end up seeing? 11?

[@deceaseblade]

They are sooo amazing, I never new they existed. I'm a huge pokemon and drawing fan, so I probably drawing some of the lids and hanging them on my walls 🥰

[@rpwestwood21]

Nadine seems super friendly! Hopefully y’all make more collabs together! Also, your golden bangle is SO cute. Maybe you can let us know where you got it and where you’ve been shopping lately. Would love a style guide from you!

[@cinematicjapan]

😊🥰✨

[@KuroRyuu86]

This is actually pretty awesome. Placing the manholes and stamps at places that people would never think to visit and creating new interactions with people on the way. I wish this kinda of fun concept was adopted elsewhere around the world. also Strawberries for Japan in Winter Mangos for Australia in Summer

[@cinematicjapan]

I miss mangos!!!

[@kermit502]

This "Pokelid" scavenger hunt is sort of a bonus, because you get to spend time in different parts of the country. Maybe not for as long as you would like.

[@lupolinar]

Well that is the point - they are good in tricking you to do activities and visit site you'ld never consider. ^^

[@jemma_mae_]

The one with all the cats is BY FAR the cutest!!

[@auberginebear]

Even better, the Ditto on that manhole were blue, meaning they were shiny! I think that's so cool, even shinies got represented.

[@tardisdance1236]

Nadine reminds me so much of one of my high school friends. One of those kind people with a kind face. I hope you do more collabs together.

[@cinematicjapan]

😊😊✨

[@AmazinglyAwkward]

I love that the vlogs you produce are always such a little mini adventure and definetly makes me feel more comfortable and wanting to explore Japan outside of the main areas everyone knows. Many places to add to my list when I can eventually travel over again!

[@hallinasjournal7795]

This is so wholesome and sweet, making new friends and going on adventures. I love these stamp collection videos.

[@milla_bread]

What a great way of spending my Thursday evening, hanging up laundry and watching Sharla’s new video. 👌🏻☺️

[@goldlantern]

You got a "like" out of me before I've even seen the video just for the content - I've been waiting for this series to continue! Thank you for helping us e-tourists out.

[@sharlainjapan]

Thank you so much! ❤

[@kap79]

What a great video with a fun guest star! Thanks for taking us along on your manhole stamp hunt!

[@cinematicjapan]

🥳

[@nickm1187]

Watching a Sharla video is a perfect way to finish off the day. Looking forward to the next adventure in the hunt!

[@TheJunsLee]

It was fun meeting Nadine, hope to see more of her too! Love these vlogs! Have an amazing day

[@cinematicjapan]

🥰🥰✨ thank you! Nice to meet you too!

[@GlassSuperstar]

In a sea of meh videos, its always good to see Sharla pop up and this one has extra positive vibes by Nadines big smile bouncing off the the screen. Love when we see the Cat also. hes a natural. :D

[@w.m.8126]

Nadine seemed so nice and cool!!! I really love how something as lighthearted and fun as Pokemon could bring you two strangers together and it'd be neat to see her again in future Pokemon vlogs if it works out that way!

[@cinematicjapan]

😊😊✨🥰

[@Rose_from_UK]

I love Nadines energy. She’s so positive

[@ive5773]

Please upload 2 videos per week, I can't live without your content and I keep watching same video over and over again 😭

[@shinigamiwolfen]

Thank you again for taking the extra time to do the 日本語 subs. It's really great for us learners.

[@sanashi27]

Another manhole/stamp hunt video!! These are fun to watch. The manhole designs are pretty cute. Since the video says 'final day', I guess this would be the last video for this series? Congrats on finding lots of manholes and getting lots of stamps, too! If there's ever another stamp rally you'd participate in and make a video of, I'd totally watch it.

[@sharlainjapan]

Last day for the stamps but the manhole hunt will continue as they’re permanent :D

[@sanashi27]

@@sharlainjapan Awesome! I was wondering if they were gonna remove them after the event. It would've been a shame since the manholes look nice.

[@ViktorErikFade]

@@sharlainjapan maybe next year you'll remember this fun adventure and attempt to get the stamps again? Its practically free content /a fun mini series just waiting to be recorded if the stamps return

[@JoyandSerenity.]

Sharla you know you can keep the cat grass trays and just buy the seeds on amazon? It grows pretty easily on a sunny window sill and a weekly watering.

[@sharlainjapan]

That’s what I ended up buying at the pet store! Successfully grew him some this week😆👍🏻

[@cimmerian6713]

I also take photos of manholes whenever i’m in japan! I love how they make it look so nice that it’s not *just* a manhole, but also a tourist site to visit! ❤️

[@cinematicjapan]

😍🥰✨ right!!! I just saw some gorgeous ones of the castle while I was in Osaka. So pretty!

[@jacobore3821]

This is SO WHOLESOME! Just a new friend and an adventure taking in beautiful sites and pokemon hunting. Also some treats. Love this! I hope you guys make more videos together!

[@cinematicjapan]

Shes so adorable! Glad you picked her to hang out. You girls seemed to have had so much fun! Loved it.

This is just making me miss Japan so much. Looks like a pretty fun adventure!

[@ianaghurl]

Thank you Sharla for featuring the different places here in Miyagi. I’ve been living in Ishinomaki for almosy 4 years now and tbh I have never been to these places. Thank you for bringing us to your journey with you. I can’t wait for your other videos! Hope to see you one day on the streets of Sendai! ❤️✨

[@LoganLittle94]

“I pop in and get him some because….he’s an addict.” This made chuckle.

[@briandavid3010]

Yay! New Sharla video 💖💖 All of the manholes are so pretty, even the ones that aren't Pokémon themed ✨

[@franktwining5981]

So glad you got more stamps and a new friend. Nice that this quest has taken you all over and seen new places. Looks like you had fun and keep those vids coming.

It grows like a weed…I give alot of it away during growing season. 👍😊 Thank you for sharing this video with us. 👍🇨🇦😊

These vlogs are a great way of showing of the lesser known parts of Japan (even Sharla got surprised by some spots!). Nice to see Sharmander slowly but surely going to Sharizard...or Sharpras?? And a thank you to Nadine for driving and spotting. And daring to go into "sketchy" alleys

Learning about the Pokemon's origins is so much fun, manholes look amazing in Japan...wish we had more creativity like that in Australia.

[@NataliaHerrera-ul4gq]

Loved this! Reminded me of the time I went to London to visit friends and they had Shaun the Sheep sculptures all around the city. Took several days but we managed to find every single one. It’s true you get to visit places you normally wouldn’t think of.

[@_DePaddy]

I love japan for being so community based.. I wish germany was like this :/

[@ffwast]

Well Germany used to be tight with Japan and all that. Then Japan had to go and sink some of America's boats...

[@Almightyrastus]

Just as you found the first manhole cover, the crossing chirps in the background. I miss that so much. On both of our trips to Kyoto we stayed at the same hotel (Sakura Terrace near the Joshin store - awesome Gunpla selection...) and there is a crossing right outside so those chirps were a constant sound.

I'm so happy to see to see you collab with a smaller J vlogger! I would love to see you collab with Tomi from Tomi's World cause I feel like yall would have a good time roaming Japan too and I love Tomi~
