May 5th is a Day Just for Children in Japan!

[@GTV-Japan]

What are your plans for Golden Week? Discuss below!

[@JapaneseJourney]

Work of course. Also: I've been waiting for this one since your girls day video!

[@GTV-Japan]

This was first put out 3 years ago but somehow somebody strikes it because of the music. Oh well

[@Rationalific]

I'm going to be working, but I also have a wedding shoot (I do some photography on the side) this Saturday. It's crazy about the copyright...as if someone is going to buy these songs but then decides to just watch your video instead... I hope you have a nice upcoming week!

[@GTV-Japan]

Thanks! I’ll be hanging flags and hopefully enjoy the sunny days here

[@JoshuaRWorkman]

Work, work, and more work. Except Saturday and Sunday, gaming then.

[@Rationalific]

I definitely like these little videos about Japanese festivals. I lived in Japan, but still didn't know much about this, including the reason for the koi nobori. I also of course liked your Tanabata festival video as well, since that holiday is especially important to me. I look forward to more, whether it's about video games, festivals, or something else entirely!

[@GTV-Japan]

I’ll keep the 80/20 games/culture plan for the channel. At least 1 more culture videos this year. Maybe 2

[@Rationalific]

@@GTV-Japan Sounds good!

[@Charlie-Cat.]

My birthday is in May GTV. The best birthday gift I received was a bag of Nacho Doritos back in the 1990's. When Lay's didn't change the ingredients that had all the cheesy goodness in every bag. 8^) Anthony..

[@GTV-Japan]

Happy birthday Anthony! Sounds like a fun decadent time!

[@harlemsturghall753]

I thought it was just me who used to live Doritos flavor but now not so much? I didn’t know they changed the Ingredients! Happy birthday to you!

[@creativecatproductions]

One day my young magicarp will grow to be a gyrados!

[@GTV-Japan]

Oh I hope you treat it well then! 🎏

[@lupeayala3125]

Golden Week seems fun and awesome! Ill be celebrating Cinco de Mayo, or, the 5th of May. The date is observed to commemorate the Mexican Army's victory over the French Empire at the Battle of Puebla, on May 5, 1862. So, Ill be eating well, having some beers and playing some good old Nintendo while remembering Childrens day in Japan. 👍👍🍻🍻

[@GTV-Japan]

Sounds like a good plan 🎏

May 5 is my birthday

Happy birthday 🎂

[@doubtingthomas1312]

May 5th is my birthday, but my family is from Mexico, so I was always called a Cinco de Mayo baby. From now on, I will always celebrate may 5th as Japan's "Boy's Day". Thank you, I never knew this.❤❤❤

[@GTV-Japan]

That’s cool! Happy birthday!! 🎂🎏

[@napoleoncoronadocortes5740]

In México its the April 30, and also many alredy Said about of the Pueblas battle. And also the first day of may its the labor day. Great vídeo camarada, also it's the day of Goku.

[@GTV-Japan]

Yeah it’s interesting how two cultures had totally separate holidays on the exact same day! 🎏

[@elfiebranford9330]

I've purposely waited until today to comment on this video, given that it's May 5th. With that being said, Happy Children's Day, everyone~!!

[@GTV-Japan]

Thanks! Happy children’s day to all!🎏🎏🎏

Such a great vid always was curious about this holiday

[@GTV-Japan]

Thanks for watching ！🎏

[@GamingHistorySource]

Wow ! 1 day for a child to be a child. Incredible !

[@GTV-Japan]

Yeah, the rest of the year it’s homework and running laps after school. Thanks for watching as always 🎏

[@GamingHistorySource]

@@GTV-Japan No problem. I have a friend who grew up in Japan & told me how much pressure He was under as a kid. He said that It's stressful as hell. I genuinely feel bad for him. You can see that it scarred him.

[@GTV-Japan]

Yeah I was shocked myself. School aged kids really are forced to do a lot of stuff to keep them busy and out of trouble

[@Dorelaxen]

This is pretty cool. I live in the Southern U.S., so Cinco De Mayo is pretty prevalent around here. Didn't know about this, though. Very interesting.

[@GTV-Japan]

Actually right now the whole golden week is going on. No school. Very few at work. Koi nobori everywhere! 🎏

[@Charlie-Cat.]

Ah, excellent GTV. I'll have a look at it now. 8^) Anthony..

[@kylemedson8421]

What’s golden week,I’m a new fan I love your videos

[@GTV-Japan]

It’s a week long celebration where families do things together and the nation enjoys the warm weather.

[@themarcosoma]

Tomorrow I have Home Office, so I had to update my GTV marathon, funny thing in Mexico the "children day" is on April 30'th. Cheers!

[@GTV-Japan]

Great! I will be recording all day tomorrow myself

[@Charlie-Cat.]

Good to know GTV. I think this conversation could lead to an interesting topic of popular snack foods in Japan on your channel if there's a demand for it. i would love to listen in for sure. 8^) Anthony..

[@GTV-Japan]

I did a few here and there. Check out episode 79 for a prime example!

I know exactly how you feel 🎏

[@truedope8885]

“This is GTV”. The way you say that fills me with such a level of nostalgia.

[@GTV-Japan]

Thanks

[@mediaglitch]

We have the same thing in Mexico but it's for all children in Mexico.

[@GTV-Japan]

That’s cool!

[@badwolficreatemyself7669]

Can Americans celebrate Girls Day and Boys Day? I've always thought it's a wonderful holiday and wished we had something like this in America, children are special in this world and if I had children I'd love to celebrate these holidays with them 🤔🙂

[@GTV-Japan]

Yes. You can celebrate it.

[@DIASTCartoons]

That is a very generous.

[@GTV-Japan]

What is?

[@DIASTCartoons]

@@GTV-Japan the idea and origin of this holiday. Also how they hope their sons will grow up to be responsible and respectful men.

[@GTV-Japan]

Oh ok! Now I see. Yeah it’s really a cool idea

[@chuganoga1908]

I had no clue this was a thing man looking at it all now it makes sense why in animal crossing we got those carp banners for children’s day

[@GTV-Japan]

Oh is that in there? Sounds cool! Thanks for watching 🎏

[@ariohandoyo5973]

Kintaro was the best boy that ever known in the past as a boy who toppled the monsters and demons. Oh i see, so those are the reflection of the fish, each fish represent: The head of the family, mother and young siblings glad to the fact of children's Day. It just goes to show that if we wanted to be succeed in life just ask your mother to pray for you over time, we would get succeed due to our own efforts and the sincere prayers from our mother. Do you believe in it? I believe it strongly however our efforts also crucial for our dreams and wishes. You know what? I watched it on May 5th today. How are things in Japan today? Hopefully the celebration going smoothly today. My thoughts on the baby on the pic: He was cuteness overload baby i've ever seen, babies subjected as a cultural thing you know. Q: do people in western countries celebrating children Day as well guys? If so, could you please explain it to me. By the way, i'm from Indonesia who love Japan much love Japan love ya.😘🇯🇵

[@ariohandoyo5973]

@@GTV-Japan wow glad to hear it's very sunny there? Wow i wish i could be there the sunny and the beauty of of the celebration of Children's Day. Wish children there prosperous in life and they can reach their endeavor. My thoughts on the Koi: Those Koi represent family members who have complete family, i'm the only child here in the family my Papa had passed away by lymph gland cancer in 2013 when i was 11.🥺

[@GTV-Japan]

@ariohandoyo5973 I’m really sorry to hear that😞 but we are duty bound to honor our family even after they are gone so make sure he’s not forgotten!

[@ariohandoyo5973]

@@GTV-Japan yes my bond with my papa is strong enough so my duty now is not forgetting him if could turn back the clock, i would love to meet him again.

Thank you GTV. I never had a better bag of Doritos since. 8^) Anthony..

I haven’t had any in such a long time! Made me hungry. Borderline hongree!

Golden week in America means work for me

[@GTV-Japan]

Sorry for that but you do have Memorial Day! Thanks for watching 🎏

[@RadicalRickEntertainment]

I am loving those flags!

[@GTV-Japan]

Thanks they are everywhere this week

[@Bratty-Bonnie]

I’m so happy to know what the fish flags mean! Let’s say Is was just you, your girlfriend, and your cat. Would it be in good spirits to still hang the fish flags. If so is there a special flag for cats?

[@Bratty-Bonnie]

@@benisrood This comment had me bust up laughing. You’re a wise man sir. Thank you.

[@GTV-Japan]

There is no flag for cats. Cats are not children and catmoms are not real mothers. Benjamin is correct

[@pferreira1983]

It's nice to see boys get a day as well. Great to learn about the culture. How did you get around preventing a content claim this time?

[@ColeFam]

This was very interesting! If a family only has daughters, do they still fly the fish? Would the third one still be blue in that case?

I would say they probably don’t fly them but would certainly have dolls on display for girls day. Thanks for watching as always!! 🎏
