@@dinsfire for real, like I remember going to Japan first time and was like wow this is so easy to get around. Google map basically tell you exactly what platform to go to and which train.

The grapes you need to try are Muscat grapes. That is the grape that "grape flavor" is based off of, especially in Japanese products. We have Concord grapes here sadly.

5:00 That drink you liked is Kirin Hyoketsu Lemon, which is a blend of vodka (6% ABV), soda, and frozen ("hyoketsu" means "freeze", and Kirin is a brand name) natural lemon juice. They freeze squeezed juice at sub-zero temperatures (-18°C/-0.4°F) to lock in the fruit's flavor. That kinda drink in general (alcohol with soda water, flavored with fruit juice) is called chūhai (an abbreviation of "shōchū highball", with shōchū being a Japanese distilled spirit).

as someone who has definitely experienced weight insecurity in the past (though in the opposite direction since i'm fat) and has family and friends who've struggled with being underweight, i appreciate your willingness to bring it up in this video, though it probably wasn't easy. considering a lot of the societal pressure to lose weight and the assumption that skinny = healthy that exists in our culture, i imagine it's hard to talk about sometimes how being underweight can be its own source of insecurity and a genuine health problem on top of that. and hearing people talk about gaining weight as a positive thing is *rare*. i hope you are able to regain the weight you lost and are able to feel happy and healthy in your body someday, even if it's not right now. also, congrats on the engagement! that part of the video was so sweet!

[@Yeeren]

Sorry to barge in but if you’re planning an autumn trip I HIGHLY recommend booking 2-3 nights in Nikko and taking the time to sail the lake, walk the path along the Senjogahara plains, see the temples and waterfalls and maybe spend a night in one of the small cosy onsen towns. Wife and I spent two nights there and it was definitely one of the highlights of our trip, even though it rained a bit. If you decide to do it we’d recommend taking advantage if the Nikko All Area Pass from Tobu, we got the extended 4-day pass (it covers a greater area as well, including a couple of onsen towns) and it basically includes all busses, the lake Chuzenji ferry, and Tobu trains from their Tokyo Asakusa station and back. I saw that it is possible to order online but we just popped by their Asakusa station like 4 days before we planned to go to Nikko, stood in line at their tourist information office and then the nice tourist info clerks arranged everything including booking our reserved train seats for usand gave us the tickets, passes, and local transport schedules in a neat envelope.

10:27 This part is genuinely so cool to me because I was taught in America about different types of plastic and how each one is recycled differently, it’s really disappointing how most of our plastics aren’t recycled because of how we group everything together when there’s more too it than just trash and recycling. So it’s really cool to see a system that properly acknowledges the fact that different plastics need to be organized properly to be recycled, and the fact that it seems pretty easy to follow makes me feel like we could have something like that in America if we pushed it hard enough.

Personally… I cried the tears of joy

I remember seeing an art tutorial by echo when I was younger. I learned how to draw like adventure time and I’m forever grateful

HELL YEAH TRAINS that was my EXACT reaction after coming back to the US from my semester in Ireland

i just.... damn. You can FEEL the emotions dripping out of the art at 44:21 Wish you two all the best. This is how it should be, not something ultra fancy, but a nice place, good vibes and two people loving each other

Hey dude, just found this video and i loved the kind of hybrid video this was. And I know it took a really long time to make so I just wanted to congratulate you on making such a good video and experience to me watching it. Keep it up👍😎

Jocat, you may not see this, but you've helped make my childhood a special one, and it may not mean a lot but i just wanted to say how proud of you I am, seeing how much you've changed and grown as a kind person and helped shape me as a whole. Thank you! Congrats on your marriage man!

As a fellow Louisiana dweller, I feel your pain on the point that you're so far from any fun stuff in the states. Glad to see you're back, and congrats on the engagement!

Never stop being a treasure Jocat. I'm only 5 minutes in and you already made my day with your wholesome and funny narration and accompanying animations. I laughed so much when I saw the Kirin on the drink, because I knew what it was. (Ps: your plane experience is very relatable, youre not alone.)

No sleep on the plane gang, unite!

First of all congrats!! You both are awesome!! Thank you for this video and sharing your experience. You two are so kind, uplifting and like a bright light, that it made my whole day better. And I can't imagine how much work was to animate and edit this video. I really appreciate what you do and these 50 minutes were a pure joy.
