Life of a Japanese Mom Living in Singapore’s Heartland

[@leewn2319]

It’s amazing that Yurino speaks exactly like a local Singaporean. If she don’t tell nobody will know that she is Japanese. 👍👍👏👏

[@NigelYap]

It has a bit of a Japanese twang to it as well so quite unique.

[@roadpillocks3710]

You exaggerate lah, but her accent is cool haha

[@george200]

I'm half Japanese living in Sengkang as well I have been living in Japan! I just came to Singapore 2023 March for NS ! I'll be happy if I can be in your video one day hahaha

[@johnwig285]

The video started out with the husband talking Japanese and the wife talking perfect Singlish. I thought you put the wrong title at first LOL 😂

[@GhibOjisan]

🤣🤣

[@GigaZX91]

wow her singlish very power leh, she can code switch in between... and also love spicy food too... I also around SengKang area too.....

[@miyazakihiroshi2548]

シンガポールの方が日本より家族や近所の人々との絆や繋がりが強いと見た‼️正直ちょっと羨ましいよな。

[@taeru]

It's a good and bad thing. Some neighbors are nice, some are horrible. It depends.

[@jasonsoh8043]

Their daughter is so cute and adorable❤she is very outgoing and with that great personality she will get along very well with her school friends❤awesome video👍

[@armageddon87]

If she spoken to anyone in english her sg accent, tbh, she will pass as a singaporean with flying colours. GIVE HER CITIZENSHIP!!! Jodie too. Both have integrated well. I think MND can approach them to find the x factor of being a singaporean. Multidiversity and yet that accent. U cannot miss that accent. Not just a singlish thingy. Bagus lah!!!!!

[@tentm1977]

Another great video!! Being a Singaporean living in Tokyo for over 20 years, I always find it hard to explain to people that I grew up in government housing (HDB) because of the stigma in Japan. Its great to see Japanese enjoying living in local areas like Sengkang and live like most Singaporeans.

[@hardhang]

she even speaks English with a local accent

[@IZTheOne]

Yurino's English accent caught me off guard when she started speaking, she's so Singaporean haha! Great that she's living well and happy raising her 1st child here. Hope they stay healthy and happy. Majulah Singapura! ^_^

[@calvincheecs]

Oh my goodness... Your female guest doesn't sound Japanese at all until she speaks, but she sounds more authentically Singaporean. We are glad she has adapted so well, and credit goes to her husband and surely a lot of support from her in-laws and neighborhood, not to mention marrying a local and having a family. This is great content that showcases strong family values! Thank you!

[@KhidAndFamily]

eh! I've seen her a couple of times in Compassone and I didnt even know she's Japanese hahaha She's more singaporean than Japanese!

[@bellybutton6138]

Yurino is more Singaporean than a Singaporean. Wonderful that she has adapted well.

[@syarifahnajwa5491]

Yeah me too. Agree100%😊

[@yut576]

I still cannot get over Japanese lady having spicy Indian food 😂

[@okaydoubleu]

My exact thought!

[@MrTakoyaki1992]

Holy cow, her english sounds 80% Singaporean lol😂👍

[@ordinaryobserver897]

Yurino has adapted well. 👏👏👏

[@silenthill5922]

A true marriage of two cultures, beautiful! Thank you to Yurino and her husband for letting us into their lives and home.

So great that Yurino san can completely merged into our culture society，can tell she really love her husband, her family, her friends & Singapore ❤

[@desmondongyh]

I recently came across your KZbin channel and thoroughly enjoyed your content. Hope you can attend and cover various cultural events and festivals events and celebrations happening in Singapore. Highlight the similarities and differences between Japanese and Singaporean traditions from different race and provide insights into the significance of these events. Wishing you all the best in your future vlogs! I am excited to see how you showcase the beauty, diversity, and cultural richness of Singapore through your unique perspective.🙏👍👏

[@GhibOjisan]

Thanks Desmond!!

[@jozechee9927]

Great story Ghib Ojisan. Can't help but smile watching this video. Transboundary Love, building family and future with positivity and happiness. In their small way they might also strengthen the already strong respect and appreciation between Singaporeans and Japanese. ❤

[@kevinho4504]

Can’t tell she is Japanese , speak like Singaporean ….amazing ❤

[@haruhi7745]

Welcome Back. Ah so beautiful Vlog. Singapore is so nice to stay❤

[@Praetorian157A]

Her spoken english is so localized. Mind you, it wasn’t Singlish she spoke, ok! If she was to speak in front of me, I wouldn’t have realized that she is actually a true blue Japanese.😊

[@sujaniaslam2428]

Hi Ghib n Yurino n family,, はじめまして　ユリの　さん、Yurino san seems very friendly wah sengkang seems like a nice place, i havent been to sengkang yet 😅,, maybe one day,, nice vlog Ghib,, Yurino cyan Gamba ne,, 👍😅🍺

So happy for this family that Yurino is adapting very well here, and glad that she is blessed with such an adorable daughter, a doting mom-in-law, in laws, and friends from their church.❤

[@dolan-duk]

Her accent is so unique! Singlish with a slight Japanese garnish!

[@dennisleong7866]

After this video I think she will be Sengkang ambassador 😂

Jamus, take note 😊

[@hipposamadesu]

Nia is so cute when pushing the mini supermarket trolley 😍🛒😍

[@limian3599]

Great people. Wish the family happiness. Ideas for your next video. Interview local japanese who has been here for 3 generations or more. I know 1 but i am sure there are a lot more. I find the Ojisan's decision to live here in the 80's most fascinating. Before you know, their daughter like us, grew up and started her family with kids who are almost adults now.

[@limap76]

Her accent is so Singaporean.

[@tanjeffrey9396]

❤ Wishing both you and Yurinoさん, and both the families having a very happy and blessed awesome Living in Singapore. 🎉 きをつけてください、またね。

[@GabeWatchesAnime]

Her husband is living my dream life. Watches anime, got to marry his Japanese lauguage teacher, most probably learning japanese from her, and as Yurino-san said, she wants to learn Mandarin from him as well!! IT CANT GET ANY BETTER THAN THAT??

[@hlim431]

These happy stories like Yurino's simply makes this a very special channel... I have watched it twice! Yurino seems a wonderful mother! Fantastic grant idea for living close to parents! Well done Ojisan! And now PM Lee also agrees

[@beverlyteh4676]

What a lovely family! She is so adaptable and resilient!

[@cassiezheng1983]

Whenever I watched your video, It helps me to understand more how my husband maybe adapting to Singapore like you or the other guests on your videos. Feels this topic is very interesting.

[@MD196x]

it will be interesting for u to take up the challenge of interviewing non English speaking foreigners in Singapore ✌️

[@garyshen5687]

maybe you can try to visit the west side area of singapore like jurong, choa chu kang & etc

[@paecpc]

A young family that you will see everyday in Singapore, take care and stay safe!

[@wendaleong1103]

Thank you for this interesting video. How about Japanese “salaryman” in Singapore. Compare their lives here to those in Japan.

[@simonsimon2028]

wow, very local singlish

[@GhibOjisan]

I know, right?!

[@asuranrocks]

Wow this guy scored!! japanese lang sch in orchard ;D and her singlish is so power

[@wilsonfong6596]

Oh no this reminds me of my Jap. sister in law!👍

[@tkyap2524]

A country filled with good people will be a liveable place. Keeping out others is short-sightedness.

[@mouselim72]

Liked!! What a heartwarming episode :)

[@wwpoof]

Me checking in. Oooo la la. How come the younger Japanese these days so stylo mylo ah🤔? Rare for a Japanese to like spicy food, chilly padi some more! Plus she's all alone in SG, oh dear. Perhaps Ghib san can connect this lady with other Japanese that he has interviewed before.... like example the Japanese hawker lady in Marsiling.... 🤔😁?? The good thing abt here/ SG is that we do not have those social cultural pressures to conform to. Hope she gets settled comfortably here.

[@ocean8043]

I am Chinese from China ,when I living at SG ,a lot of Singaporean said ありがとうto me,but some of the Japanese ppl living there ,Singaporean consider them from China ,and the attitude is different Lol 😂

[@iAxianguy]

I had no idea until I subscribed to your channel that Singapore had so many Japanese lving in Singapore and has made a live here. It Awesome! 🙂🙂🤞🤞

[@chowmingthim7480]

Nobody will know Yurino is Japanese when she speaks English

[@roadpillocks3710]

She is so positive thay even when you ask about the struggles, she replies with lines of good things to say lol!

[@limbehh8494]

Another great video.. I love it. ❤❤❤

[@GhibOjisan]

Thank you so much!!

[@ivtec74]

Welcome to be part of us!!!

[@ShuYenKor]

Maybe should get a condo Japanese and a HDB Japanese together, or at least you do a comparison. Meanwhile, this is a good hype piece for Japanese seeking a less stressful life. Also, a glimmer of hope to the local otakus.

[@yippohonn1644]

Great discovery and interesting topic!

any Japanese people in bukit batok area? I've seen some white people here

Probably spill over from Hillview which is part of Bukit Batok but agents always lying to dumb foreigners and low SES locals that it’s considered Bukit Timah.

Its kinda weird how the subtitles are like singapore style

[@naomimichiko]

great video as always!!

[@哥坤-s7o]

So far I have never seen anyone interviewing those pros and pimps working at the GL shophouse. It will be interesting to know why they chose to work here, how they adapt to life here, and the challenges they face. Maybe it is too taboo a subject for interview in this country. Haha.

I wish you could have touched on her tattoo that she have as it is considered as a taboo in Japan culture, as i am curious about how's her thought process when getting a tattoo as a Japanese

I would say it’s no longer a taboo in the Japanese society as many youngsters are casually getting tattoos!

[@yurinokuroda2987]

Hi, Yurino here and thanks for your question! Plus one to Ghib Ojisan but I do understand your point and consider before getting it. I purposely got them where I can cover up by wearing a t-shirt so when I meet so called traditional Japanese ppl in a business situation, I’ll do so to prevent them from feeling offended (: Btw both my tats are done by a Singaporean artist and I love them so much!

[@takcody]

I hope this spreads to the whole country sooner! I was just recently at Naeba to Ski but got denied into the Onsen for having a tattoo of Pikachu 😅
