Moving Back to My Japanese Parents' at 27...

[@rja62b]

this is why it's good to have a healthy relationship with your family. Getting older makes me realize how tough life is and having family to support you to recharge is a luxury overlooked.

[@MitchellBPYao]

27 too have to start paying rent just because both are real estate agents

[@GavinKohAquascaping]

As you well know, it is not uncommon to have 3 generations in an asian, and many other cultures, household. You made a wise decision to take the stress off finding a place while connecting with your nice folks. Was wondering when you were going to post again, nice to see you two!

[@CDBIII]

It’s becoming common all over the world and honestly there’s not an issue with it as long as everyone can respect each others boundaries/quirks and sacrifice where needed. I told my two kids that they never have to leave if they don’t want to (they will need to chip in with bills/groceries/just daily stuff a family needs if they aren’t in school and working full time regarding the bills specifically) and as long as the person they are with can do what I stated above, so be it. You save money too, so not too bad if you think about it, haha.

[@mato_fato_ma-ah-fala-falafel]

@@CDBIIIit’s becoming common coz there’s no choice but to. Stop acting like it’s normal in today’s modern world. It’s not a good look.

[@CDBIII]

@@mato_fato_ma-ah-fala-falafel Like I care what’s a good look for you, lmao. Preface: I was never even coming close to arguing that due to the economy being crap, we get this thing where families stick together out of it so it’s all worth it; so I’m not even sure how you got that from what I said... Yes, in a perfect world we could all have nice houses for each of us without the worry of money. That part of life is BS. Even then though I would advocate that families stick together. Just in a larger home, lol. More privacy when needed is a good thing. What I said was absolutely correct regardless if it’s due to the economy. It IS BETTER to live with your (generally immediate family), by every single metric IF you have a good relationship with them (which everyone involved should be trying to achieve!) The trick like I already said is that people still need their space/private time to recoup/reenergize since just being around people can drain you often times. If you can’t get that in line then obviously you shouldn’t be living together though. Otherwise, living with family is always infinitely better. There’s plenty of real world examples to back that up as well. The most obvious benefit is had for children. They get PLENTY of Social/Intellectual/Mental/Physical(Hugs and stuff don’t be weird) stimulation from learning/playing/interacting with those they can trust first and foremost. Bonus: The parents win because they have babysitters to get a break from the kiddos, lol. That’s just ONE major example I gave you… so yes, yes… It SHOULD BE NORMALIZED. You saying it shouldn’t isn’t a good look on you frankly; but I couldn’t care less if you take that to heart as long as you have it stated to you I’m good in the end!

[@freshtapcoke]

After my wife and I got married we lived with my parents for a few months and then her parents for a year, during the pandemic, and it was a wonderful time.

[@MartianAmbassador69]

Sounds awful

[@fatdoi003]

Patricia visiting her mum was very touching. seeing young people's pictures on the stone always made me sad..... thank you for sharing this private moment....

[@HermanWillems]

Wonder if their parents more free thinking or walk behind Xi Jinping and Mao Zedong and hate Japanese people ? What u think? Because you are NOT allowed to think free in China.

[@dchow007]

Came across your video thanks to youtube. We live in the USA on the west coast (San Francisco bay area). My kids are around your age and both speak Japanese. Loved your story and that of your girlfriend. Life can be kind and cruel but somehow the two of you wound up in the same place. Its is very expensive to live in California and after college, both my kids have moved back home after finding jobs in the bay area. You have a good head on your shoulder (can rosetta stone handle this metaphor?) . Never worry about what other people think. What you and Patricia come up with along with your parents blessing is the way to go. I wish you two the best and can't wait to visit Japan again.

[@Bumpkinnn]

As a young adult who strives to be independent myself, I find that I also have a hard time moving backwards. I wanted to start college but family issues came up so I had to live with my grandmother for a few months, which postponed my career. I'm glad it happened though, because I got to reconnect with my grandmother and get to know her much more. It's nice to see others that place importance and really recognize how special family is too

[@kiko7247]

Thank you for sharing, I am glad that you recognized that reconnecting with your grandmother was a positive thing, even if you had to postpone your career. These are unexpected opportunities that we have once in a while in our life, and it's better to grasp them because they will never come back. College is college, you can always start whenever you want.

[@ronhilton9614]

I'm pleased to read about your relationship with your Grandmother. I call mine a Saint even if I'm not in an Italian movie.

[@MitchellBPYao]

Don't like when my own mother shouts at my grandmother her own mum just because it's my problem now I have to pay the, back

[@Soda-yo]

I don’t know if someone mentioned it already but I love your Bigbang album collection🤩. That aside I wish you all the best in your future endeavors and life!

[@megsterrzz]

That cut to silence at 8:00...i'm speechless. god tier editing

[@bryanandjulie-ns2ul]

Don't feel bad that you moved back with your parents. When my wife and I got married we lived with my parents for 2 years so that we could save up for our own place , we tried to help out around the house like cleaning and cooking and helping with groceries and utilities . That really helped us alot living with them and we became really close to them. When our kids grow up I will give them the same experience my parents gave us. Family is golden never forget that ! You and Patricia will do fine as long as you have a loving family to look after you !! Peace!!!

[@ChristopherCricketWallace]

Your musical choices for this video tell me that you got SOUL. Great job, man. This video had a lot of heart.

Thank you and Patricia for sharing a small part of your stories with us. You are a very talented story teller. Your videos are very heart warming, and I appreciate them very much.

[@ahbroody]

I am an old guy, but have loved watching your guys story. Its so cute and fun to watch you grow from friends to this. I was always hoping it would happen early on. Nothing but the best wishes for you guys. Good luck to you

[@Aadams2424]

I'm so happy you were able to reframe an experience traditionally considered "negative" into an opportunity for recharging! Everyone thinks life and growth is linear, but it's never that simple! So happy you're doing well! Take all the time you need :)

[@limitedmobro]

I really like these kinds of channel, where they don't upload regularly, but when they do, the quality is through the roof. Keep up the good work!!

[@Homer-OJ-Simpson]

Same! I want once a month for my own personal interest but the weekly or even biweekly videos often feel rushed and ‘raw’. This was an exceptional story with great editing and amazing choice of music

[@arsenaltg1]

It really means nothing coming from me specifically, but you’re one of the best channels out there these days, Shun!

[@tflyfoster3018]

Hey I live with my parents at 27 so dont sweat it man the choice we make in life are to better our selves this will help you alot good luck!

[@samchun6844]

It was great meeting you and your girlfriend @ the Yokota Friendship festival 18th May. I was very surprised to see you walking by ! Wished you would have stayed a little longer to chat; but that crowed was crazy. There was over 130 thousand people at the festival for the day. Hope to see more videos soon !

[@SHUNchanjp]

thanks for making our day! we loved your energy! 🇯🇵❤️🇺🇸

[@jannkevsmom]

I think this was my favorite video so far! I love seeing all the adventures you two share and I loved the introduction of your families! I hope one day you’ll consider visiting us in Spring Hill, TN! I miss you cousin Patricia! Give your dad a hug for me!❤️

[@tomsonchan9622]

Shun, thank you for sharing you and Patricia’s story. It is very special, touching and heart warming. Wish you both the very best in life 😊❤ from Canada.

[@HermanWillems]

Xi Jinping not approve. Must keep HAN Chinese PURE.

[@wannabe41]

I love watching you and Patricia going on adventures together! Here’s to the next chapter!

[@martinquintana5837]

Awesome story and glad to see you all are still together. The generation today just want to move out of their parents house as soon as possible. But you are mature enough and adventured in your life moving back home gives the opportunity to take care of your parents and be around family and that's a great and beautiful thing. Aloha from Kansas

[@jefftheworld]

Lovely video and very touching. The youtube algorithm might not reward this type of thing as much as some of your other content but I think this is absolutely beautiful and it's definitely a stand-out video of yours.

[@Homer-OJ-Simpson]

It’s the best video he’s done and it’s among the best I’ve seen of anyone with under 1 million subscribers. The editing and music choice were great but it all comes together with the beautiful story telling

[@jmw1513]

One of your best videos Shun chan, this video was so heartwarming. I wish you and Patricia all the best

[@MizuShinobi303]

Man… your videos always hit hard for me. Though our experiences are a bit different and where we are at in our lives is different. My wife and I are living with our family as we continue to try and get settled in Japan. Please keep making awesome content and I’m cheering for you and Patricia. Wherever your life takes you I wish all the best for you.

[@poji23]

the transition from a young Pat to the current one at 8:20 was beautifully done!

[@Yuumi_Ackerman]

I love your storytelling style Shun! Your videos are always so special and touching. They're almost like little documentaries. Hope you are enjoying your new apartment

[@dannynguyen2122]

It’s okay, don’t worry about what other thinks. Do You! And whatever make you guys happy in the long run.

[@lordsleepyhead]

I moved back with my parents twice. Don't worry about it Shun, life just be like that sometimes.

[@noobsfansub]

That was a very wholesome video. Don't feel bad about moving back with your parents. It's no big deal really to move there for a few months or years as a stepping stone for your next place. That's what family is for, maybe one day it'll be your turn to welcome a family member in your home when they'll need it too. Independence is a good value to have, but it's also easy to forget that no one breezes through life without receiving any help from anyone ever.

[@jpfecteaumaine]

Your family seems loving and you look very happy with your partner. Thank for sharing this intimate part of your life.

[@veup5894]

Shun-chan's videos are rarely ever boring, nice of you to focus on quality over quantity! Hope you make lots of money and still keep true to your style Shun

[@cheef825]

bro is a legend for studying abroad in tw and not gaining hella weight... i spent a year in taipei during a high school exchange and absolutely ballooned lmao on another note moving back home can be humbling, but reconnecting with your roots can be super eyeopening too. I hated the tiny, boring town I grew up in and have loved living the city life since i graduated high school. last summer, my mom passed away suddenly so i had to pack my bags and move home to help my dad recover while he battled cancer. through one of the toughest times in my life i saw how our community rallied around my family and took care of my dad and me in any way they could. I still intend to move out once my dad fully recovers, but i'll always be grateful and call this place home, when before I only saw it as the place I grew up.

[@toni-kaku]

What a wholesome video. Uplifting to watch.

[@dav1dw]

I like your attitude. It makes a big difference.

[@garthac]

This is something like... "taking one step backwards and two steps forward" And still there is progress made!!!

Loved this! I found Patricia through you, and now I follow both your journeys, so I loved this kind of collaboration. Thank you so much for sharing 😊

[@Sibux]

The theme, the music, the editing and the soul. Love watching your videos.

[@artboymoy]

Great video! This is actually the first time seeing Patricia and she kinda looks like my cousins when they were younger. Congrats on getting back to Japan and spending time with your family and as you say, recharging! Ganbatte kudasai!

[@lindsaylori]

Oh my god, I'm Taiwanese and I've been following your channel for a while now, and it's surreal to see that you two spent three months in Taipei. Hopefully, there's going to be a video about your stay there :) P.s. love you and Patricia as individuals, but also as a couple - you two are so cute together ❤

[@JimmyLmao]

So proud of you Shun 🥰 the best wealth/success you can have in life is rich relationships with your loved ones and friends. Also, you've gotten seriously good at video production - this was so artistic! Would love to see more about your adventures in Taiwan if you've got footage 😊

[@daughterofthemosthigh3588]

Your channel is one of my favorites. So happy for you and Patricia. You can feel the love between you two! 😊

Excellent editing and music choice. It's been so heartwarming to see you change and grow ever since your Bill Wurtz reaction. We love and appreciate all you do Shun

[@Homer-OJ-Simpson]

OMG! That’s how I found shun!! It was his reaction video to Bill Wurtz video! And then I checked a few of his videos and loved the idea of seeing what it’s like living in Japan!

[@inesoliveira7418]

I'm new here and can I just say that finding this channel was the highlight of my day! You are an incredibly skilled KZbinr!! So happy I found you! It's really refreshing to see a Japanese being more outgoing and "different"... Not in a bad way obviously!

[@Mchannelw]

Such a lovely couple! I like that you’re learning Chinese to get even closer to your partner and her family too ❤.

[@fodnerpiqwit5221]

I had gained enough energy to be independent at around age 28. Work being pleasant kicked in and I started to move in that direction. Took about 5 years but I finally caught up to the feeling.

[@BobcatMoviesInc]

You are where you're meant to be, always. Enjoy the time back home while it lasts - new adventures await 😁

[@annaksmith9608]

You guys are so cute together, I always get excited when either of you post content!

[@ForestKanagawa]

I haven't been able to watch the full video yet, but don't sweat it dude. I'm almost 30 and still stuck at home, but it's because my parents need my support. It's not like it was 40 or 50 years ago when you could raise a family on one income. People need to do whatever works for them so that they can try to get a solid foundation under their feet. I recently heard that your 30's are the new 20's and I'm hoping for everyone's sakes that it's true 😂 If you need to move back in with family for a bit don't sweat it 👍

[@jdpsnow]

Tall storage like that is usually called a cabinet, if it had wood doors on the top, probably a hutch - but with glass, it's probably a china cabinet (for holding fancy plates/crystal for display). Good luck on the home hunt!

[@auwz66]

In England we call that "a dresser". Its the cupboard you keep your plates, ornaments, special tea pot and cups etc. Often they were moved to bedrooms too. If the top part of the cabinet can be removed we call the bottom half on its own "a side board". I believe the term "dresser" came from "dressing the table" when you set out the table for dinner.

[@ethan9590]

That could be considered a "curio".

[@transuranicelements1335]

My mom calls them 'hutch' (old fashioned way of saying it) but we also call them 'curio cabinet' or 'cupboard' or 'sideboard'.

[@thezist3353]

we call them a china cabinet. since we store fine china in them for display.

[@Homer-OJ-Simpson]

@@thezist3353do they still call them China cabinets? I feel people have used the term “China” for the fancy plates a lot less recently than they did 20+ years ago.

So happy for you both and excited to see what other adventures you have coming 😊 My husband and I did this a few years ago while we were trying to find a house and moved around between our parents and my grandparents for a year. It was really nice being able to spend that extra time with family before settling into our own place again.

[@IzabelaKarolina]

Nice to see you again Shun! Don’t worry too much about the living situation. The market is crazy everywhere right now. Hopefully that will help you save some money too! The only reason why I’m able to rent a room in London is because my landlord is kind enough to not charge me a horrendous rent each month. At one point I want to live together with my boyfriend, and I have no idea how we will be able to find anything affordable … sending lots of positive energy for you both!

[@theboredprogrammer1114]

Shun, don't worry about moving back with your parents as I think it is the best time to spend quality time with them given that they are getting older as we get older. My husband and I are living with my mom as we lost a lot of my family members these past years due to sickness from old age and the situation still breaks my heart especially as an only daughter in my family. My mom is in her 70s (hubby and I are both in our 30s) and we both love her so much. I don't care if that "doesn't fit society's standards of being independent" but family is really where our hearts at especially these people have been good to us since the beginning of our life. Btw, my husband is Japanese (but his parents aren't around anymore😢) and I'm Filipino and in the Philippines it is even seen as acceptable and good to still look after your parents.

[@jcnbw01]

I've only watched bits and pieces of yours and Patricia's videos recently, so I have an incomplete image of both your stories; but you both tell such wonderful stories ☺ Seeing you two genuinely happy with and supportive of each other is such a refreshing and wonderful thing to witness; thank you for sharing these to the rest of us. 🙏

Glad to see your latest video. Yeah, moving back in with your parents was probably not in the plans, but at least you had the opportunity to do so. Many people can't do that. I agree that getting closer to your family is definitely a great idea. It looks like you had a great time in Taipei as well as meeting that side of Patricia's family. I wish you great success in the future. I'm sure you'll find a great place in Tokyo soon...or maybe you'll settle in Osaka for a while...and not with your parents. I look forward to future videos! I liked your first English speech. I could definitely understand you without a problem. In a way, your English doesn't sound much different now, which shows that you were definitely good back then, but it is more refined these days. Finally, your Daihatsu is a cute little car! Peace!
