Look for this pillow! I used to have bad headache and neckache until I tried "Bodyluv Addiction" pillow, not sure if it is available in Japan but it really help reduce my problems by 90%.

[@lainiwakura1776]

I think older but bigger is better, it looks like it's maintained well enough. The only downside is needing fixtures replaced, but you're already on top of that!

Yes, Donbei instant is my favourite too. It also has a small version. Yes, the best part is the dried Tofu square that is very soft & soaks up the soup really well. Juicy.

Love how we can all travel without moving via your wonderful videos. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@magmacannon887]

Great video, Rion! This actually comes at a great time for me, as about two weeks ago I was accepted into an international work/travel program to teach English in Japan! In October or November I will be moving there, and there will no doubt be a lot to learn, so I appreciate your Japanese apartment tips! I'm really excited to go, but I don't know where in Japan I will be yet, so it's a big exciting mystery. Thanks for all your great videos, and any more Japanese etiquette/culture tips would be very welcome!

[@purpleglasses731]

Enjoyed the tour! Hope you continue to recover well. It's nice that you cook more at home. I'm sure that helps with saving money 💰 Can't wait for more adventures!

[@AlwaysHope_]

Your videos are very soft & welcoming. You don’t rush but u explain everything even the cost of things. I fine a lot of depth in your personality & much kindness. Ty for sharing🙏

[@mojojowan]

When I saw the thumbnail, I thought you’re drinking milk and I was like “Oh, that’s good for the bones” but it was a Calpis. I got triiiiiicked! LOL 😂 Also, we were amazed because despite having a neck sprain, you still able to do the “What A Fox Says?” Dance. That’s a unique talent! Hahahaha! 👏 👏 👏 😂 About your sweet apartment, I must say that you did a good job on choosing the furniture and for doing the furniture layout 👍 Maybe the advice I can give to you now is to get a good and appropriate containers/storages for your things so that your shelves and/or cabinets will look more organise 😉 👌 Thank you for doing this apartment room a.k.a. GAO HQ tour and for sharing some tips and the snippets of your “Living GAO-lone Diaries” to us 😂 Through this video, we can have an idea on the daily-unfiltered-life in Japan. Take care always and we hope that your neck sprain/back pain will be gone now 🙏 God bless!

[@paripitiffany]

Thank you for your tips about color, really liking the neutral palette Rion has going on with the wood/brown, black, white, and dina gray! 😆 “Fox High” > neck pain 🤣

[@ksenijacizek5901]

What a cute studio appartment fitting so well for a sigle person. Everything is there at hand but still separated in different corners. Sweet Rion's kingdom with a fancy chair as a throne. I am so glad you are slowly recovering and your neck pain is not that severe as it used to be. Thanks to mattress top you might avoid such problems in future. Your fridge is also impressive and such a master cook as you are deserves it. All your posted dishes by the way look so yummy. As for your Ray Bans - this style of sunglasses fits you perfectly and I like it very much. Anyhow, it seems that one pair of mine is the same style as yours - Wayfarer - meaning traveler wich fits to you in this sense, as well. After all I used to travel much with my Ray Ban buddy, too. Looking forward to your new adventures. Especially I would be pleased with your cooking session! Nowadays, during your recovering period It would be perhaps convinient for you to make a cooking and eating live stream including the kampais. Hoping that you might fully recover soon but still take it easy and no rush is needed. Best regards from Zagreb - Croatia.

[@Celeste77789]

I love how you arranged your apartment, the chair near the trash bin is so cute. Your buddy refrigerator is huge 😮, I like it! You keep your apartment so clean that's so nice. Thanks Kim Tran 💕🥰. I enjoyed the video so much Arigaotogozaimasu and God bless 🙏

[@lainiwakura1776]

I can't wait for a full tour... I just like seeing people's Japanese apartments hehe! That shelf that's next to your fridge, maybe you can move it to the wall the sink is next to so it won't block your stove? Because it looks like it would be in the way when you cook. I know it's an unsolicited suggestion, just trying to help!

[@beachday4439]

The heat/ac split units people don't often clean. Some of the smell like burnt dust comes from them. Even if you clean the filter. Sometimes you got to really open it up and clean out any part you can. Flexible Swiffers can help too if you can't open it.

[@starwith90]

Nice Raichu doll !! 👍😀

[@grubbyicklemitts]

I was waiting for Rion to open the fridge door and it just being full of beer lol Kampai!

[@lynetteray2146]

My fridge/freezer is about 2/3rds the size of yours. I have a great icemaker, too! I love my icemaker! I think I paid half the price. I'm cheap about kitchen appliances!

[@bethanydee5387]

Thanks for showing us your apartment and the names for items👍. Do the windows in Japanese apartments open? If so, I would think that would help to get rid of inside smells if weather is nice. 🍃🌤️

[@benjamintantze-wei9043]

Great apartment room. Concerning the Raichu plushie you have, it's cheek pouches should be yellow instead of orange.

[@joachimlischka744]

Hello Rion, i hope you thought about changing the filter in the fan (extractor hood)? 😉

[@doujinshirts]

I also have neck pain issues due to uncomfortable sleeping position that has been on going for I think 7 years. I hope yours will be ok.

[@kafka8886]

Thankyou for your room tour it looks a nice place to live. Everything a guy needs - vodka, beer and instant noodles. But eat some fruits and orange juice as well!

Thank you for your apartment tour. In Canada smoking is discouraged inside apartments. In my condo building nobody can smoke. You didn't show us the view. Greetings from Canada.

[@PMBelen]

For your kitchen light, it might just need to be replaced since it is already blinking and the ends are colored purple already which means it needs replacing. LOOOOOVE your kohi / espresso machine!

[@be.the.light.2107]

Oh. It sounds like you developed a stiff neck from sleeping in an uncomfortable position. It may be a week or so for the muscle to relax. It will be difficult to turn your neck. I feel for you. I hope you find a mattress that will not cause you future pain. Had the booster shot too. Similar side effects…slight fever, sore arm, and body kind of achy. Really give you credit for deciding to film a video while feeling that way. Take care Rion! :)

[@FuuHolliday]

You look good in those new sunglasses

[@parasmarok2000]

rion i like this video yup

[@wufar1973]

Switched to a memory foam pillow: neck soreness went away. Waiting for the updated boosters from moderna for my second booster. Third, the 711s in the states aren’t as good as the ones in Japan(or in any other parts of the Far East). 4th, you can try to change the fluorescent tubes yourself if the landlord refuses…should be cheap to purchase and easy to change out.

[@coolburn_og]

Looks like things have settled well now, how long did you sign the rent contact for?

[@lynetteray2146]

Can you pour bleach down the drains? That helped my situation. And I understand the smell of smoke/ cooking oil in a Condo. I went through that. The smell left after my living here for 4 months. My cleanliness standards, airing out the Condo, and painting the walls won over the smell!

[@salva_75]

Rion, do you know if the yaki onigiri you ate is vegan? It looks very nice. Fun video as always!

[@paripitiffany]

Hi Salva, I’ve made yaki onigiri before. It’s just white rice that’s been brushed with a sauce made from mirin, sake, sugar, and soy sauce. I think the only questionable ingredient is the soy sauce, as some companies may use flavor enhancers from fish or meat, which may not be indicated on the 7-11 bag. Otherwise, as it has no filling, yaki onigiri is likely to be vegan.

[@salva_75]

@@paripitiffany thank you Tiffany, that's informative. I've always had to accept that when I visit Japan there's a risk that I may be consuming animal product but it's always good to ask :)

@@salva_75 You’re very welcome, and definitely, always good to ask. ^^ Let’s look forward to when Rion features more vegetarian/vegan restaurants & foods in future videos.

That neck pain can also be from sitting at a desk with a screen at the wrong height. Ergonomics are important. Try to raise up your laptop if you can until you get a monitor +stand.

[@Tea-Spin]

Is that leak smoke smell from the sucker thingy only applies on your apartments building or is that common on any other building too? because I’d assume that sucker thingy would only be one way airflow (suction only, not emitting lol). If that’s the case, is “non-smoking” apartment a thing there? because it would suck for people who don’t like the smell of smoke or or hate smoking in general

[@RionIshida]

It's the common problem for apartment (even in fairly new apartment too), so people need to make the fan turn on, or living in 1K apartment (1 room + Kitchen)..
