my top "10" essentials

[@Tyler-xf4kf]

Honestly, my fav “ken era” was towards the beginning/middle of your channel. I loved you just filming while thrifting, getting food, chillin with Mario, etc. For me, the channel is almost like a zen “slice of life” type of thing where I stop by to chill out and be entertained.

[@benjimanfranklin]

AGREED

[@liamivarsson]

same

[@Majmune123]

Same, now it just feels somehow off

[@yvngarmz5984]

Do u mean Ken Era?

[@vonwaq]

to be fair he had more free time back then

[@andersaarthun4496]

just show everyday basics like food, hobbies, thoughts, Japanese culture, day in the life etc. Love from Norway!

[@ashle9034]

Personally I'm interested in seeing more of the process/work and progress that Vuja De is going to go through during the upcoming year. It would be awesome to see how you guys evolve and grow the brand from an outside perspective. Just a personal thought. Keep up the great work and I always look forward to these videos!

[@LiveHipHopLab]

for real i love the vlogs where they are doing photoshoots and fabric sourcing and etc.

[@123thesportman]

yeah. I just like the videos where they are just going about there day

[@jmbaug1229]

110% agree ! Getting to see more sampling and design process , factory or atelier meetings , concept development not only about fashion also product (I believe Ken has ideas already probably needs the financial backing). Very excited to see new Vuja De collection next year and how this brand will end it up in Paris Fashion week because mark my words is just matter of time.

[@tristanhorn8106]

I think it would be very interesting to see stuff about your regular life in japan/tokio (pros and cons or sth like that) bc i am from germany and i would love to see it, especially your opinion on japanese living, culture, craftmenship or art forms (like anime/manga, food, photography, museums, art installations and fashion ofc).

[@daniellord-vera6987]

for videos it be awesome to see behind the scenes of vujade and your process, art installations in Tokyo or Japan , your critics on how's you guys feel about the fashion industry, collars with other fashion youtubers, food reviews of Tokyo , :)

[@connorkfeucht4954]

watched this about 20 times, need an updated 2023 version!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Great_PatBingsoo]

Love all your vlogs. Love the unedited feel/nature of it. Would like general lifestyle videos. I find Tokyo/Japan fascinating having visited it once before. Even tips on how to study the language because the written side is so much harder than Korean.

[@siegwardofcatarina]

It's amazing to see the jorney of Ken. From someone who just moved to Tokyo with an intrest in Fashion to this vuja de oparation. Definitley very inspiring and insightful. I wonder, Ken when did the Idea of the vuja de brand come up. Did you move to Tokyo and had the idea already in mind or did you come to that idea after starting youtube?

[@efit4255]

Ken vlogs are unbeatable, you definitely need to upload more

[@JCally83]

I’d like to see similar videos to when you first started KZbin - just day to day life in Japan, visiting stores, hanging out with friends mixed in with whatever pick ups or new items you want to show from Vuja De. Also add to that list good places to eat - especially low key spots.

[@liquidchato]

I stumbled upon this channel, as some one who always wanted to travel to japan and is infatuated with Fashion, this is a perfect blend. Its great content, and yall make cool clothes

[@xxxx-rn3yu]

Thecasual is pretty great too

[@bruanski6131]

We're not gonna talk about the cyclist at 7:05 that just turned into a car?

[@exodia808]

yo wtf

[@thatbf1nub692]

Wait wth???

[@6DI]

Life is a simulation bruh

[@plumherself]

Um

[@danielveigaalves2805]

for me, you should continue the same format : vlogs where you show clothing, process of vuja dé and random daily stuff like food, funny moment and all

[@WayneLLC]

Maybe like a compilation of shorts of your daily life, be it production, pick up, thrifting or deep talks with Tom/Kohei etc, which is in line with your current contents. Quite frankly, I think most of us are intrigued by the lifestyle/fashion side of things in Japan - there are maybe a lot of channels catering to the touristy side of things but your presentation in the form of a vblog and the interactions amongst your group gives a unique and interesting perspective.

[@emiliogonzalez2437]

Would love if you recorded the whole creative process the Vuja De drops next year, obviously after dropping the pieces.

[@lilfoward1832]

I loved and still love the thrifting vlogs and the exploring clothing videos. Even if you don't buy anything.

[@ian4135]

honestly just those videos with silent commentary just showcasing your life with music are super calming to watch

[@willngyn]

ken's style is so fireee, one of my inspo's fosho

[@Redaura10]

I love seeing you guys window shop, try the clothes on and the details in the pieces. I live in a small area and never get to see Japanese or Italian pieces in real life

[@BK-nb9or]

Babe, wake up, Ken posted a brand new vid 🤙🏻

[@user-ob9zo9cr4c]

mine wasn't wake up.. what I should do?

[@silence_n1]

Amazing vid bro brand is looking fantastic. The silhouettes and materials are exceptional.

[@silence_n1]

Only real ones know about Ken's channel. Definitely one of the most hidden gems of KZbin.

[@mattiazonelli]

so nice to see you back! for the upcoming videos it would be nice to see some behind the scene of Vuja De, some stuff (food, places, museums, shops) about regular life in Japan/tokyo, about your/George/tom daily activities, outfit ideas, vlogs, maybe tom trying the deer liquor you previously shown, but mainly something you could enjoy to film. And obviously one video per week would be very nice but also every 10/15 days if you need more time to do more quality videos

[@benhoughton3706]

I fully support your new creative design and process bro and I really look forward to all up coming drops! So excited for my varsity and adagio trousers ❤️❤️❤️ Keep up the amazing work man

[@the_lobster]

its always a good day when ken posts

[@Lopezjustin]

Honestly what I see in a lot of fashion KZbinrs they only film fashion content, which is cool but we want to see like an everyday side of ken, what he does, what he likes to do, food vlogs and what he likes to film. Don’t force yourself to strictly film fashion but be more diverse within the KZbin industry. Much love dawg love from Vancouver 🇨🇦

[@lachlanwoods5588]

ken please just drop vlogs of what life is like as a fashion designer

[@jmbaug1229]

I think seeing more work in progress regarding with Vuja De such design process , sampling , visiting factories , model fitting , brain storming … After all this Covid19 mess are you guys planning visiting Paris or London? I think Vuja De must have more exposure outside Japan and KZbin context.

[@darylthoms1862]

I think like most people have said, the style of your videos, seeing just some kind of life stuff is enjoyable to watch. Idea that came to head for me, is similar to what you've done in this video, a bit of walking and talking, then back to yours or something, and talk in some depth about grail pieces, that you do or don't own. For me it would be interesting to know what details you see that others don't, and could educate people on bits of clothing that they don't already know...

[@randomcommenter1802]

I think releasing a video a week wouldn't be the best idea, a large facet that makes your video's unique is the erratic posting. When you post it feels like I'm listening to a friend I haven't seen in a longtime, all the while being taken along on this journey where I can see your growth and favorite moments. Forcing yourself to post each week could result in your videos losing that certain type of charm, as not every week of yours will always be worth filming. Don't force yourself into a creative corner, I feel as though many of us would agree that quality is much better than quantity. I'd honestly think that 1-2 but mainly 1 video a month consistently would be better in the long run.

[@danielchen6212]

^ this👐

[@tklaus3587]

agree

[@Avent.Studios]

Bro exactly , the surprise of him posting it gets you hyped to watch it and just gives you more to enjoy

[@jeremy..-]

I'm on the same boat of what everyone else is suggesting + maybe an update on Ringo/his part with the brand at this current state

[@Caesar_]

Ken I love everything you do man, the current style of the videos are amazing, just the slice of life and you guys working on the brand, it’s all beautiful ❤️

[@raymondpeng9539]

I’d like to see y’all take some time for yourselves. Coffee brewing, biking, just table conversations, etc etc

[@centralxi]

if you have time: museums, exhibits, showing us what the store looks like on drop days, album review😂, more playlist stuff maybe? could help in pushing the brand as more than clothing if you do music stuff under Vujade

[@Fitz_bp]

Show us more about Vuja De and the process of R&D and development of the pieces yall are about to release. Also show previews of the product before drops, fit, sizing, breakdown.

[@paulr.7009]

Maybe more in depth discussion of fashion and your style, i.e. different silhouettes, how to combine them, color coordination, your favorite fashion shows.

[@ihategio.8884]

Mood Boards/ Inspo vids would be sick. I always feel like youre ahead of the curve.

[@saintgx6]

how to start a clothing brand - like how do you go about finding a manufacturer, textile stuff, etc.

[@3yesack]

show the process of your work that would be really interesting

[@feweh]

The process of you talking about your collection was dope very interesting

[@shahrilizwan2471]

How about you make a series about starting a brand. Maybe even make it into a patreon thing so that you get paid for those classes but make sure that it's insightful and can guide people to starting their own brand. I personally would love to make and start my own brand.

[@Shitgotmegeekin]

Unoriginal tbh

[@shahrilizwan2471]

@@Shitgotmegeekin at this point nothing is original tbh. Especially the clothes we wear. Someone has already made a very similar design to it. Even our own "personal" style comes from looking at other people or things that inspire us. So for me, if Ken is willing to do this kind of video is awesome and shed some light to people on HIS journey to starting a brand and HIS struggle of getting a brand to lift off. Unoriginal? Maybe but he probably have his own hurdle or innovation he did to get to where he is.

[@Shitgotmegeekin]

@@shahrilizwan2471 patreon courses are mostly just scams, waste of time and money.

[@frankzimmer1428]

Main Thing you need for a clothing brand is advertising. Finding a manufacturer for your clothes is not so difficult, however the more quantity you want the more important you will be for the manufacturer

[@tristianvillegas4223]

Would love to see everyday operations of how you run your business, things such as decision making and where and what your doing with your business

[@Dorian1204]

Great to hear that ken is gonna do weekly uploads.(hopefully lol) Plz filming some places you visited in Japan because most of us aren't able to travel atm. Peace.

[@Maui-pk1nj]

I would like to see some cultural places, food, common routines, some chill vlogs through topical weeks or days

[@jaz9luc]

you should do a video about vuja de how it started the up and downs and showing ur brand’s clothing something like that

[@Mtnktown]

Great content Ken! Ive been tuning in for a month now. Im all the way in Atlanta

[@LucasGoedertSouza]

Man, I really want to see you guys filming the production and buying materials...etc. Regards from Brazil!!!

[@jonasbaughman1094]

I would love to see you go thrifting lol as well as the sample/testing behind Vuja De

[@drowse5278]

I think it'd be interesting to see a side channel for more behind the scenes of vujade along with release / capsule videos to show case upcoming collections

[@kevinsaldivar4276]

How’s it going ken thanks for posting I’d say the best videos I personally enjoyed were the day to day of Japan different cultural customs that aren’t seen in states, conversations with strangers, and thrifting. Doesn’t only have to be clothes it can be furniture books etc.

[@bayotic4286]

really curious to see what you do with vuja de next year, keep up the good work

[@andyfuuu]

Finally a new vid. Love ur vlogs ken!!

[@user-lq4yw]

please do a styling video, everyone would be so excited

[@Vimzeeh]

honestly feel like posting once or twice a month would be better as it perhaps would keep help maintain quality footage rather than having to force record stuff just to be able to upload something

[@giocasin]

Always happy to see every and any new Ken post. Would you consider collaborating with other artists as well?

[@goatist3669]

i'd love to see some thought process of how things are done in vuja de and yea you can always filter out the confidential shit that would compromise your brand. but other than that, videos like "3-in-1 Vlog: Vuja De, Trip, Chika Dance" is something else bro bcs its really interesting to see all the behind the scene and shit. anyways, much love to the work you've made bro

[@seanhe8476]

Please updating or creating new Spotify playlists. Love to hear your music taste.

[@stefanmarinov5515]

I want to see just japanese/korean culture stuff, pop culture, daily life etc. What’s up in Tokyo..stuff like that. Like overall what your brand represents as well, you know

[@Brittonn]

Hey Ken great video! Some things I'd suggest are showing interests outside of fashion, daily life, food, Japanese culture, landmarks, maybe a collab or two with someone like Reggie, architecture, music, creative process, stores, harajuku, shibuya, how sampling works, how you select the right material, what your thinking goes into before buying something.

[@Brittonn]

And of course what you want to upload even if you think it's not very fitting with the channel

[@bernardhh15]

Hey bro look into African shea butter to help with the eczema. Even tho you’ve already done them in the past I still miss the vintage shopping around Japan and just the stores you went to, I plan on traveling there so I make sure I note it. Just vlog whatever bro.

[@alecothegecko]

Shea butter is a blessing wish I brought mine to Japan with me

[@cyrusbandali5798]

im just loving the growth.

[@bubblebass1602]

all the best for the growth of your brand!

[@IAMFRESH]

This was a fire vid bro. I really like the way you edit your content!

[@ovalin14]

La mochila esta increible, gran video Ken, saludos desde Ecuador.

[@smokedyamans2181]

That William smith hoodie brought back memories from your old vids

[@Avent.Studios]

Like someone else in the comments said , I feel like once a week wouldn’t be best , the random posting makes it better to enjoy a video and I feel allows you to give us more quality videos than having to stress yourself for a once a week vids 🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️

[@BleuBrando]

Video Idea: Show Museums, Parks, Architecture…places to hang out. And I’m fine with 20-30min video once a month.

[@Devananta-Rafiq]

Don't push yourself for youtube bro. Whenever you ready, we are gonna be here.

[@gabrielearle1678]

I fuck with the skinny pants. first of all, helmut lang is possibly my favorite of all time so im biased. but those are just sick pants, wear both

[@stevenko9944]

Do travel vlogs to rural Japan!

[@christoffer5875]

That Hoody fit so good oh my lord

[@luq1337]

for the skin dude put some water bowls on the heater in the room, cause the winter air is to dry and use lanolin creme

[@Majmune123]

My favourite era was when you went to Kapital with your friends, went thrifting and also when you were playing video games at the end of your videos

[@jhqs_]

Excited for weekly uploads!

[@NestoIsVp]

Bro is the Heather Gray hoodie you have you on your brand or someone else’s brand? It’s very hard 🔥🔥

[@afx1200]

Ive been looking for so long for a leather jacket like that

[@asscheeks]

airpods maxs are definitely worth its price just for the active noise cancellation alone.

[@kevincarandang509]

Ken's upload made my day

[@alvinanis3006]

Thanks Ken very cool.

[@L2kneel]

Got my 1st leather/wool varsity last year and now i'm looking into buying a moto jacket Definitely took some time to get used to wearing

[@Mintzerus]

Really excited to receive my allegro work jacket next week 🤝

[@tobiashedegaardlarsen9973]

Omg i would die for that leather jacket 😩

[@smokedyamans2181]

I hope you guys don’t stray too far away from the street wear esque basis that vuja de was founded on. T shirts, hoodies, casual pants are all things I’m tryna see back in the future.

[@succapuncha]

that leather jacket is sooo nice

[@escapejudgement]

quality content.. i have the same sapiens book but haven't started reading it yet mannnn i need to start it smh. also, can you explain why/how having the iPad changed your productivity? i'm actually curious now lol!

[@Saetchel]

I have no idea what I’ve stumbled upon but I’m happy I did. Subscribed n I’ll be checking out your collection soon👍

[@sageturner8848]

if you haven’t yet checked it out, Homo Deus, the sequel to Sapiens, is also an amazing read that I would wholeheartedly recommend

[@centralxi]

q&a with the gang once in a while for goofs would be fun to watch

[@user-ji9vl9lg9i]

Lol, when he said he didn't pay too much for the leather jacket, I was thinking around thrift store prices, and bam, he says 200 bucks.

[@markovejera3873]

love the essentials just subbed bro!

[@kieronfernandez5965]

always love your videos man 🙌

[@Sam-wz2ni]

Just when I was about to sleep, bam! Ken notification 🥲

[@eeyore404]

Honestly 1 vid every 2 weeks is fine. U produce good content. Also another silent video

[@levillanu1600]

LESGO NEW VIDEO LOVE FROM THE PHILIPPINES

[@finishtyping]

Great video as always Ken!

[@yewjun1]

I don't think doing a video a week is necessary, seems like a quick way to burn out. I would personally prefer fewer videos but higher quality, more interesting, focussed around your brand development and own personal interests. Anyways a few interesting videos might be introducing brands only found in Japan. Travelling across Japan for tourism/architecture. Discuss current trends you notice in japan but not overseas. Maybe provide fashion guides or tips for people who want to develop their own style. Discuss grails you want to obtain.

[@fir3136]

Love the cos bag

[@Whodnl]

Always enjoy when ken uploads

[@pcasey101]

I have the same vintage Yankees hat

[@chaseplaces]

What brand is it ive been trying to find this for a hot minute.

[@ParkourGalaxy]

Babe wake up, new Ken video just dropped.
