@@discodan6671 you can make it, everyone can, just go into your asian mart and grab PLAIN agar powder (don't get the flavored one), go back home duh, read the label on the agar powder to know how much liquid needed for the jelly, make some sweetened coffee, make it a bit sweeter because it'll taste better, drop the agar powder, cook it again until it bubbles and let it chill while still stirring if there're skims and bubbles to get rid of them, store it in tupperware after it cools a bit (usually it's 10 minutes). Refrigerate. Cut into any shape you want, or even better, use cheese grater, trust me. Make your other coffee iced and creamed, drop in the jelly, voila. Also, you can use your bad tasting coffee here, because it's sweet and bad coffee taste better when it's sweetened. Also, look up recipe because I don't really make them, I just know how to because I made other flavored jelly drinks and I just swap flavored agar with coffee and plain agar

After visiting Japan several times, I can vouch for the fashion level in Tokyo; it definitely can feel like you're not dressed well enough when walking around the city.

[@RuruRuri4548]

Everything you said is really spot on. I have been living in Japan for a little over a year. I get excited when I find that one rare trash can out in public. The summer here is so hot. Stepping outside I'm already trenching in my sweat while the Japanese people aren't sweating much. Then one thing I struggle to this day is the language barrier, sometimes I don't go to any restaurants because I don't know the language much and then there's making conversations with the Japanese people out in the streets or at the club. I have to pull out the google translator and try to communicate. I do like how friendly the people are over here. So far Japan is nice but once you start living here you get that culture shock and see the real Japan more than what you see on youtube and hear about, especially when you live more towards the west of Japan.

It was so monotonous that my dumb brain always just though oh its a recording they just play throughout the day. BUT ONE TIME, LEGITIMATELY THE MAN COUGHED, APOPOLOGIZED, AND KEPT GOING, AND I was like no way do they have a guy just repeating the same thing over and over. I asked my friend and they said yea they just have some dude doing it.

[@aerohydra3849]

Hmm... it has nothing to do with "land of the rising sun"- if you know about time and time zones, you know that we arbitrarily assign time to certain times of the day, right? The reason why the sunrise is so early is because of Japan's time zone- it's abnormally behind compared to the natural sun position to time mapping that the world uses (aka solar time). In Tibet, the opposite occurs, sunrise happens very late because it is very far ahead of the solar time compared to its UTC +8 time zone. In fact, Japan should be around UTC +10 at it's current longtitude, not UTC +9, and Tibet should be around UTC +6, not UTC +8.

[@GimOA]

@@aerohydra3849 maybe that's where Japan got it's title "the land of the rising sun", out of all the titles Japan has.

It is because they don't have daylight saving time which would push sunrise to an hour later

If it ripped off the text, I would understand your concerns but it is just a tiny scratch at the end of the ticket. I can still read the entire receipt....". So, thanks to anime, I could tell her in Japanese "Don't worry, it is okay !".

I like how in most Asian countries, we use the umbrella on a hot sunny day just to have shade and protection from the sun and then here in America, no one else does this. I used to remember bringing an umbrella to school during hot sunny days then my American classmates kept asking why and making fun of me for bringing them so I stopped because that made me stand out so much whenever I’m going to school even though it was very common thing to do in my Filipino school. Tbh I thought everyone in the world knew this as a common sense to bring shade with you but no. Although I might bring back that habit just to not suffer under the sun again and if anyone makes fun of me for it, I’ll tell them how dumb they are for not doing such things in the first place.

Brother we don't do in our country.. Don't say "most Asian countries" if u never been there.

@@bakasenpaidesu bruh I was born there.

It is not that deep but yeah u weird

[@elusivemayfly7534]

I from the American South and still live here. I am honestly going to start doing this-I think it’s brilliant! We have some Japanese families in my neighborhood, and the women look so pretty with parasols and big sun hats. It really does make sense for comfort and skin protection

[@mr.generalissimo5678]

Humorously enough, the West actually used to do this, especially those of the upper classes. There is a reason why the classic image of the Southern belle has her with an umbrella (to be more specific, a parasol). IIRC, it was also pretty popular with upper class Victorian-era women as well.

[@ejleoz21]

It’s my 3rd week living in Japan and I fully relate to everything in this vid 😂

[@KawaiiBabyy13]

Yes, the umbrella cover bag is a thing in America too lol It just that not many places have them yet.

[@clarehidalgo]

Plastic like that is banned in most Western States of the USA which is why we don't see them

[@Dum__Bch]

I'm from Japan, so I know what it's like- but I don't get why America doesn't do this. Like, even the TOILETS in Japan are more technological than the world. But MAN do I miss the sound of cicadas in Japan. It's annoying, but I loved it. If you're Japanese and lived in Japan for MANY years, it's easy to miss it. Japan is CLEAN. Don't throw ANY trash in the side walk. Also, in ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, kids are cleaning their classrooms and halls AND serving lunch. In groups. AND YOU NEVER GET FAT (unless you over eat). And lunches in schools (and outside) are SO HEALTHY- like, America serves pizza and corn dogs but in Japan they give out GOOD veggies, soup, meat, sometimes fish, and EVEN MORE YUMMY HEALTHY STUFF. Like, it's INSANE. But I get the "walk right" part. I sometimes accidentally block people in both Japan and America. Oh yeah, and there's TONS of earthquakes, typhoons (tornado/hurricane) and stuff.

[@orangefish-pf4zf]

never been to japan but now realizing some of their manners apply in most places in europe as well like the escalator thing….we also have a lotta bugs

[@animeyahallo3887]

There's a typhoon in Japan right now so let's wish that they are all safe.

[@fourthpanda]

It was dead chillin my guy. Ain't nothing but a thing. We had a bigger one a few weeks ago.

[@KimTaeHwan114]

Using umbrella is also normal in Korea too...in sunny day, even some men use umbrella. Oh and plastic cover one too. Cause Korea and Japan exchange cultures each other many times. Same things with Fashion,Convenient store,Escalator.

[@Cless_Aurion]

That felt nostalgic. I moved to Osaka 3 years ago, and forgot all those things were not normal anymore lol

It's so strange seeing Emily without her classic's clothes. But i love her in daidus's style (and Connor too)

[@alicemitch09]

Just hearing you talk about Japan makes me half-miss teaching them. They, especially the elderly, are what I would call - communication deprived. Or that they really want someone to talk to. What you say about NPCs are true, because whenever they talk about their simple life, it’s really adorable and wistful in a way.

[@--Paws--]

Not sure but the escalator thing feels like it depends on where it is and how wide it is. Some places in NYC, you lived here if I remember correctly, have a similar etiquette of moving to either side to let those who want to climb up or down. There are also stairs for those willing to walk up or down manually instead.

[@BlackTigr]

Yeah it definitely depends on the area because in North America, some areas I've been to, people know to keep to the right on escalators and moving sidewalks in case anyone wants to pass quickly on the left.

[@higglywoof23]

Yup! Stand on the right, walk on the left in NYC

[@clarehidalgo]

Daidus is from the West coast, they have horrible escalator etiquette, especially in California. I really miss how good the escalator etiquette was when I want to school on the East coast

[@CassandraCarter]

About the jingles, no joke, I was singing "Hello Sofmap World" every so often for a month after I got back from Japan.

[@i_ct_nawb]

I just realised that the umbrella drawing emily is holding at 2:23 is the same one that emily told was her favourite in her room tour video

[@amato.500]

Ok the jingle that Daidus recorded at like 9:00 was The Battle Hymn of the Republic an American song lmao

Been using it for a while and I actually suggest it. It took me a bit of time to customize it to match my preferences, but after that it's actually good

Been using it for two years, and it's honestly one of the best browsers today. The sponsor Daidus gives is just the bare minimum for lazy people like me. :)))

It’s Japanese and American at the same time

[@rinseok3301]

Guys the song for the “jingles” is actually “gory gory what a hell of a way to die gory gory what a hell of a way to die” it’s a military song about a guy jumping out without a parachute the songs name is blood on the risers

10:35 Random fact: when gnats are in a cloud like that it means they are having a mating party

[@nichytsukamoto9788]

I love this video so much. It's the perfect explanation of Japan in the cutest animated way ❤️

[@--Paws--]

In my old neighbhorhood, which has lots of trees, the gnats only seem to horde during the warmer parts of spring and summer. It's a relief not having to ingest or inhale the gnats for most of the year.
