So good to see you making regular content, it's so warm and comfortable in every aspect even the making. The soft color grading, the cute edits and little animations, the fact you're writing your own soundtrack. Wonderfully cozy.

[@KingKogi]

Glad you are enjoying the whole package. Lots of thought going into it all, and I'm really enjoying being able to vibe on the piano again.

When I lived in the Netherlands, I learned about a word - Gezellig. Meaning cozy/warm/wholesome/enjoyable, it's an untranslatable concept. This video is definitely gezellig.

I'm the same age as you Martina. Sadly i've been diagnosed with MND and probably only have a year or so left to live. I always wanted to go to Japan. Lived in NZ for the last few years but i never got there because of the pandemic. Your videos provide much needed joy as i start to lose my mobility. I've watched since Korea and wish you all the best for your future. You've given me so much light and laughter over the years. Thank you.

My autoimmune disease has been really hard on me lately. I had a really really tough day yesterday and spent the night crying. Today I woke up up still upset and anxiety ridden. This video helped me calm down and reminded me to never give up and continue to build my ladder. Today will be full of cozy self care and getting back on track with climbing up my ladder. Thank you Martina you have no clue how much your videos help! Sending you lots of love and support!

so accurate! 💕

[@Bakerygo]

I love this type of content. Simple, everyday "adventures". Not every day has to be a party. It's calm and we can see a side of japan that is not very often advertised. This video greatly reminded of my trip in Japan back in 2018. It gave me the same feeling that I had those 10 days in Kyoto and Tokyo. Japan is such an unique and beautiful country with rich history and intense culture. I really want to revisit Japan.

[@Melissa-pi3km]

I went in 2019 and I can second this feeling, it helps me calm down. I miss Japan so much and I hope you get to revisit sometime!

[@ABIGAIL-ui6lg]

Watched this to keep calm while I had my blood drawn for autoimmune testing. I have a big fear of hospitals after a bad experience of getting blood taken when I was in high school. Now I’m in my 20s in chronic pain and still awaiting my diagnosis. Thank you for making calming genuine content Martina! You really have been helping me through the health issues I’ve been dealing with!❤️🥰

[@TeaforTinka]

I just moved to a new city by myself, in the spirit of KK I've been trying to give myself little "quests" so I don't feel so lonely. Todays quest is buy a new plant for my apartment and tomorrow's is check out a local museum and a bucket list restaurant near it. Thanks for the inspiration 💕

[@MsJokyo]

Oh, Martina. This honestly reminds me of the way your videos used to make me feel. It's a lovely, calm escape for just a few moments, and I am so happy you're back to filming again. Thank you for everything you do for us.

[@winslow8779]

YES, YES, YES! I've been soaking up all the Martina content I can get, but THIS, this exploration of a beautiful, autumn day in Tokyo? It's just everything I could have wanted to start off my Friday. The warms, the fuzzies, the adventure. Can't explain how much joy it brings me.

[@winslow8779]

And can't forget, THE BEAUTIFUL EDITING!

[@LaviniaDeMortalium]

that piece at the end was so heartbreakingly serene. I hope you publish an album at some point because your music literally turns me into a gooey blob of stress-free happiness. It's always so wonderful to see a new video from you; thank you for all the hard work you put into your video's. They are worth every second.

Oh, well hello Joss, and welcome aboard King Kogi's Airship. We have room for all, feel free to lounge on the passenger deck. I'll be bringing round refreshments soon, both alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages are available, Crushed Starberry Tonic and Drambleberry Sparkle Soda~

the one thing I miss most after having to quit gluten due to allergies is Ramen. I'm so happy I get to still share the experiance with videos like this

@Samantha Teather If you can find Black rice ramen noodles, it has a chew close to wheat noodles. They're easy to find online in USA.

[@alvesrei5357]

I have a friend that just discovered last year that she is also allergic to gluten, and she wants to come to Japan someday, so she asks me sometimes how is it like with gluten free stuff here. I can say that compared to Europe, there isn't that much stuff available yet in supermarkets, for example, but it is increasing for sure. Also in bigger cities you can find more gluten free stores and restaurants. ^^

[@basicallytoast1803]

I can't even begin to describe how happy seeing your videos makes me. I've struggled with health issues since I was 11 and I'm now 30. You're an inspiration to many people, including me. Thank you for being part of our lives Martina. I can't wait to see the next chapter.

[@scarhan9329]

Honestly Martina, you'd be the first person I'd think of to go on an adventure with in Japan.

[@travelerzoe]

There is a game coming out next year called Nihongo Quest that is supposed to help teach you Hiragina, Katakana, and all the way to N5 level Japanese while playing adventure style game. Kind of looks like old fashion pokemon style game to me and I love it. I am using that to help learn a tiny bit of Japanese before I go to Japan hopefully next September.

[@lbazemore585]

You make Japan adventures seem quite possible for those of us who have not traveled there before. Just getting around would be anxiety generating, but you make it seem a matter of common sense. I really enjoy your intimate sharing.

I needed this to start the day the right way - thank you so much.

[@LazyPantsAdventures]

I ❤️ the return of the food adventures! Question: have you noticed the foods in Japan are easier on your symptoms overall? My arthritis is triggered pretty aggressively by American wheat but I didn't have any issues with Japanese wheat or dairy while we were there. I think our trip was the first time I had felt fully nourished in a long time. I know Japan processes and grows their produce differently than the US and my nutritionist thinks my body just responds to their methods better. Have you noticed anything similar? aside from everything being delicious 😋

[@gracie4452]

Idk if anyone else has noticed it, but I can hear Martina playing her keyboard, like I hear has she’s pressing down the keys of her keyboard and usually people would do anything to get that noise out of their music but I think it really humanizes Martina’s music, it’s really beautiful and reminds me that it came from Martina probably sipping on her coffee late at night with her twinkling lights just truly vibing out. Beautiful Martina!

Just wanted to pop in here to say thank you so much for your videos and all that you do! I started watching years ago because I also love food and exploring/traveling and learning about different languages and cultures and I'm happy that I can continue to support even today! I'm also unbelievably grateful that you share about having EDS and things to help-- because of that awareness I was eventually able to find out that my struggles were because I have EDS too (and POTS etc.) but I wasn't immediately discouraged because I knew that now that I have identified the cause I can take steps give myself a break mentally and physically when I'm not doing 100%. I definitely went back and watched all the videos on mobility aids etc. for advice haha, but I love that you incorporate the ways you're taking care of yourself and your health into your videos because it's important for you. It's also been a huge help to convince myself to do the same (things as simple as finding a seat when waiting or on the train or taking a less taxing route instead of toughing it like I did before lol). So ya! Thanks so much and hope you have a good rest of your weekend!!

[@cassandralyris4918]

Fellow EDS (I don't want to say 'sufferer'...) cope-with-er and I recently overdid some bag carrying. Not only was my left shoulder just janked for a week but my arm was so bruised that people thought I had gotten into a fight! So, I feel you there. Also I had so much nostalgia seeing the Book Off door. I miss Book Off. Trying to find second hand manga and Japanese magazines from America has been a nightmare. I've been trying to find the same old issue of Dengeki Maoh for about a month now... It's gotten a lot better finding NEW stuff, especially visiting L.A., but used, forget it! Your advice for learning menus is really helpful, and those crepes made me so hungry...the best crepes I ever had were in Japan...😫

[@KingKogi]

Oh and it is so overpriced overseas but super reasonable at Book Off. I've been trying not to hoard Japanese magazines and manga but it is tough.. haha! OOF tell me about it, since this video was filmed I am STILL screwed with my left shoulder. My physio tried to relocate it for me last week but it just won't stay in socket so now we're onto slings, rest, KT Tape, and exercise to try and build the muscle to hold it back in place. I had a good cry, and nice "woe is me" last week in the morning then wiped away my sniffly nose and got back to building a ladder. I think us EDSers are pretty dang tough.

Martina , you are one amazing woman. As a fellow painperson I know how hard it is to build that ladder and you are banging it. I wish I could build it like you do.

Simple adventures are the best! I have not been to Japan, but it is my next overseas adventure. I use a very effective method for having meaningful adventures. When I was in Rome for five days, I planned a Morning event, and an afternoon event each day. That’s it! If I was too tired after my morning thing, I’d exchange my afternoon event for an easier, less taxing one from later in the week, and move today’s event into that time slot. Worked like a dream! Plenty of time to rest, eat, shop, whatever! I tried to schedule things that required tickets or reservations for the mornings so I was well rested (and these events couldn’t be rescheduled last minute, so best to do them while I was fresh). I never felt rushed or pressured to be somewhere at a certain time because I had A PLAN!! It allowed me time to add mini-adventures between scheduled events that I hadn’t even thought of! I got to stick my hand into the Mouth Of Truth, like in the movie “Roman Holiday!” Simple adventures lead to the best memories and experiences in life. Don’t just rush through life. Savor it!

I remember when you were just learning hiragana, and look at you now! Speedreading Kanji menu's like it's nothing! That really is amazing and makes me think I can do it too :D Can't believe I never thought of JUST studying kanji related to food. That's genius.
