[@hikari9127]

ジョシュア君の日本語が想像以上にすごくてビックリしました！天才！

[@ogrigorigoi]

3:56 I love how Josh’s friends are cheering Sarah saying “do your best Joshua’s big sister !! ” That’s such a cute and wholesome moment 👍

[@LIJ]

It's so precious

[@hiroshitanaka4942]

そのうち日本人の友達もいっぱいできて楽しい思い出ができればいいですね。大人になったらきっと運動会も日本のいい思い出になっているように願っています。

[@mametaro0701]

勝敗に関して、昨今いろんな考えがあると思いますが、勝っても負けても子供たちは楽しそう。 これまで同様続いてほしい。

[@松尾和敏-g5i]

この一家の好感度。無理して、日本に染まらないところ。自然体がいいのだ。インタースクールに通っていたら、こんな　微笑ましさ　は出ない。神に愛された一家だ。

[@jellyfish939]

We’re a missionary family that has just moved from Africa to the US. My kids start American school next week and we’re terrified and excited all at the same time. This was well-timed encouragement, thank you!

[@LIJ]

Wow- glad to hear it!

[@danhill1186]

The kids deserve a lot of praise because you can see they are focused and work diligently at their tasks, be it a sports competition or studying for exams. And always with a smile on their faces. You raised them so well! The trail looked interesting too, it's cool you're always looking for new places or routes to stay active and enjoy the beautiful neighbourhoods Japan has to offer!

[@comarites]

We are entering the rainy season from the comfortable season. I was so impressed with Joshua and Sarah's hard work. I believe you will be able to practice and get results next year. Anna and Becca are looking more mature these days. They both look so nice.

[@toshikawa3515]

Your kids must be praised because they prepared and trained a lot for Undokai. As you set wonderful devices, your church becomes a kind of broadcasting center. New challenges make us greater, richer and wiser. Thank you for your vlog.

[@LIJ]

That's right! Thank you.

[@sskbkbys]

3:38～　「ジョシュアのお姉ちゃーん」「ジョシュアのお姉ちゃーん、がんばれー」。子供たちに大人気ｗ

[@user-narb]

ママとあじさい可愛いかった🍀 ジョシュア上手に日本語喋れたね✨

[@kc1472]

3:42「ョジョシュアのお姉ちゃんがんばれー！」可愛い！ジョシュア君は人気者なんでしょうね！

[@idee7896]

You and your family's Japanese has improved exponentially! Kudos to you all.

[@律男比嘉]

Your children had enjoyed undoukai at the primary school. And your family looks like very happy. Also, makes me feel happy, too. Thank you very much.

[@caelusu]

動画をみながら英語も勉強出来てとても良いです

[@user-ut3ez4fx6w]

ジョシュアくん、日本語上手👍

[@ilovearashi151]

Headed to work. Love this channel!

[@karmad.twelve6613]

Joshua truly is so fast! Wow! Great job to all the kids, and you, too, Nate and Ruth!

[@ATorii-wf4cw]

Joshua reads it very well. Good job. Kanji writing is coming in a couple of years, I guess. The homework is the hardest point enough to cry I remember. Hang in there.

[@LIJ]

It certainly has it's challenges!

[@にゃんちゅう-f3h]

ジョシュアくんの成長が嬉しい🥹💕 無理しないで頑張ってね✨✨✨

[@ShizuoNakamoto]

5〜6年生には出場するだけでなく運営側の仕事も割り当てられます。子供達の働きぶりを見るのも楽しいですよ！

[@ciarahershey943]

Joshua reading the book made me cry!

[@大輔-b6r]

みなさん日本の生活をエンジョイしていますね。 私はいつもご一家の動画を楽しんでいます　Thank You😘

[@シガトリノズカ]

Whether you win or lose, it's most important that you do your best ... A happy face is the most important!

[@kpopsweetlemon1396]

thanks for posting love your channel. Thanks for making my Fridays happy. 16:39 wow go Joshua

[@LIJ]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@林タクロー-o2n]

日本で育ち、日本の幼稚園、小学校、中学校を今経験いているわけですが、日本語でのクラスメイトとのコミュニケーションも問題ないようですね。日本での学校生活が彼女たちにもたらすものは卒業後も続くであろう交流であり、日本語を通した日本の文化への親近感であろうと思います。日本での皆様の生活が生涯に渡っての財産になるのでであれば日本人としてうれしいです。動画の投稿ありがとうございました。

[@埼玉太郎-f7j]

毎回、面白い動画をありがとうございます🙇

[@モてィ]

楽しそうに参加していて見てるととても嬉しくなります！

[@Pakalani03]

All your kids' individuality really showed in this video. Let's face it. You are a loving, fun couple, and you really work and play at parenthood. This was so refreshing! Now back to my work.

[@LIJ]

😊 thank you

[@ネモカオ]

初めて投稿させていただきます。 いつも楽しく見させて頂いています☺️ 運動会楽しんでいてよかったですね‼️中間テストではテスト勉強が大変だったでしょうね‼️パパさんとママさんの散策見ていて私も行きたくなりました🌿 私も6月から新しい職場になり、パパさんの言葉にとても勇気づけられました😆 頑張ばりたいと思います💪

[@LIJ]

コメントありがとうございます

[@aikohikari6587]

Thank you for the encouraging words at the end of the video. I am facing a first in my life. On July 11th I‘ll start my first job. Being an adult scares me at the moment and I sometimes want to cry. But I can‘t wait for the rainbow to come out and cheer me up. Everyone else experiencing a „first“: Please look up! You are awesome! You can make it!

[@christieholtzclaw155]

Aww you all are such a loving family hope you all have a blessed weekend and take care 💗🙏😊

[@gogobe8672]

双子たちの初めての中間テスト。 そして、ジョシュア君の国語の音読。 小学校での初めての運動会。 子供たちは素晴らしい経験をしています。 勉強と運動、何事にも全力を尽くして頑張ってください📖✏️⚽

[@kuraishi_1956]

ジョシアちゃんの日本語すごく上手でした、これからの小学校生活が楽しみですね。

[@どうむげん]

多摩地区はまだ知らない良い自然がありますね。散策する新鮮で好奇心旺盛な感じが伝わってきました。

[@今野翔太-e1e]

奥さんの事をいつも”My Beautiful girlfriend”って言える文化は素直に素敵ですね！ 日本人は照れて絶対に言えません、皮肉で言う事は有るかも知れませんが！(笑)

[@LIJ]

言ってみると、とても気持ちいいんです。 新しい文化の流れができるかも！？

[@joycedduk]

I am only 3 mins to the video and I can't stop smiling.

[@LIJ]

😁

[@ゆうちむ-q7y]

子どもたちから学ぶことは多いです。 新しいことに挑戦して記憶に残る人生を歩みたいです。

[@haeringf]

Este canal es muy bueno, debería tener muchos más suscriptores!

[@ハマー-x7x]

黒部、立山の回は 地元の自分でも貴方の Challengeと映像に 感動! また様々な日本をチャンネルで！

Japanese school is fun fun fun! Not only study! makeup human!

[@heatherfahsbender6583]

Such a fun episode. Looks like you all did something fun!!

[@大賀友喜]

お子さん達は、映像からきっと優しく成長していくのだろうなと思いました。

[@alecbdavis]

I like the small snapshots of you working at your church

[@elisabethreiter2707]

Thunderstorms are the best :D they clean everything so well and afterwards the air smells nice and fresh

[@LIJ]

Totally agree!

[@julianoenomoto4829]

Muito importante esse tipo de evento para desenvolvimento das crianças.

[@押領司正浩-z4r]

パパさんママさん凄い。アナちゃんベッカちゃん中間テスト頑張れ👍ジョシュア君本読みに感動しました。サラちゃんもかけっこ良かった。

[@zuzuten8326]

サラちゃんの悔しそうな表情が素敵！！！

[@LIJ]

サラはとても表現力が豊かです。

[@rachelcookie321]

This seems so much more fun than the athletics day we always had to do at my schools. These games are fun and interesting, we just had regular athletics.

[@amyfeap104]

[@Official-OpenAI]

Nothing sounds better than eating shabu shabu after some exercise.

[@TheKaza1128]

ジュシュアくん、サラちゃん、がんばりましたね。 お姉ちゃんらも勉強大変ですががんばってくださいね！

[@小川幸夫-t7f]

運動会の興奮が残っているのか帰ってくるなり走ってましたね～🤭日本では当たり前の運動会ですがいつの時代も盛り上がりますね～🤭親も子供も！👍

[@TheGospellers]

（It's Google Translate, so I'm sorry if it's different.） 8:20 Ozawa castle ruins（小沢城　跡）. It is an old castle around 1190 at the end of the Heian period. 10:00 The stadium is a facility of the Yomiuri Giants farm. (Professional baseball team) 15:40 I also like thunderstorms so I understand. The scent of wind and rain makes you feel like you are in nature. It feels like my heart is washed.

[@LIJ]

That's right!!

[@VerhoevenSimon]

Congratulations to Joshua!

[@beforeafter324]

15:43分かりますｗ落ち着きますよねー

[@xiaoshan4880]

[@LIJ]

Thanks Jay!

[@kazoon7777]

ジョシュア君の日本語 ネイティブの発音ですね。素晴らしい！！

[@Its-Kat_]

All shabu-shabu meats you can eat rare, including pork! It's so good not over cooked, very soft.

[@yoshitotakagi395]

i have been already chatting with my future spouse through KKAO TALK which is a Korean vetsion of LINE in Both Korean and Japanese. If we try to write a long sentence, we use a Translation Machine. we try to chat almost every day except a weekend.

[@Its-Kat_]

I know Kakao Talk! I used it while in Korea. My husband is Japanese and we speak in English until I get better at Japanese.

[@notfadeaway6617]

Your kids are amazing. The nature was pretty awesome.

[@onsendeyukkurishitai]

I love how your kids always do their best at everything. Great job!! I also admire the husband and wife time. 14:12 Papa-san please use different chopsticks when holding raw meat, I don't want your family to have stomach-aches.

[@zebrakinnikuman2173]

ジョシュアがめっちゃ日本語上手くなってる！ 素晴らしいですね。 そのうちピロシキーズのブラスみたいになったりしてｗ

[@tomoeagentlight]

写真で見た幼少期のブラスは天使のような可愛さだったなあ…笑

[@DrJustininJapan]

stop having so much fun without me 😂 glad you are all doing well!! 👍

[@ruthreutter8355]

Time for another visit!!

[@LIJ]

Ha ha! We'll try to tone it down for the next episode. Just kidding!

[@arakaki22]

Me apaixonei pelo canal!🎌E obrigado pelas legendas🇧🇷🇺🇸

[@nontanmon]

すたみな太郎行ってみてください。（焼肉、寿司、食べ放題。飲み放題もある。）

[@LIJ]

わあ、素敵な響きですね。

[@rebeccachia]

Sports day looks super fun! I keep forgetting that Anna and Becca are in Japanese school because you guys always speak in English. They are amazing at bilingual. Do you know the title of Josh's s Japanese storybook? I'm learning Japanese too , and would like to try and get it (if I could in my country) .

[@tona9027]

That title may be "Hanano michi " （はなのみち•flowers way）

[@tsps621]

How often do they have undokai? They should do something like that in American schools (other than the once a year field day)

[@LIJ]

It's once a year - pretty much the Japanese version of field day. But the last two years it's been way different because of COVID, so I was so glad that this year the masks were optional for the sports and they did the competition.

[@healingsoundsmaker3955]

みんな可愛い！beautiful eyes color

[@djr3386]

More trails please ❤️

[@LIJ]

Do you like the trails? I have a mega one recorded I'm thinking of launching, but I did it solo.

[@rebeccapowell7669]

What a fun day full of success! Praying the girls did well on their exams! I wish we had Japanese-style vending machines here in America. It would be refreshing to grab a bottle of tea right after hiking a trail 😊

[@平和世界-h4b]

玉入れ、綱引き、帽子取り、組体操、騎馬戦、リレー、ソーラン節　これ定番です。

[@ゆけんじ]

子供は適応力あっていいですね。かわいいですね。幼児期は言葉を覚える時期で音、耳から、一年生は日本語の音と耳を通して文字の基本あいうえお…から覚えるので、日本語を覚えるには一番最適だと思います。上手に本読めていましたね。

[@ドイツ-c6h]

日本にいながら　適時の距離感で日本の生活を楽しんでいる。子供たちはほんとうにいい経験を している。パパとママの日本生活を子供たちが支えている。子供のがんばりがすごい。がんばれ、

[@ACEsParkJunheeWreckedMeHard]

Haha yeah I like bamboo. As I was a kid I had furniture made from bamboo in my room

[@LIJ]

Bamboo is awesome

[@朝田龍太郎-q1b]

子供の成長って傍から見ると両親が感じる以上にメチャ早いんですよね💞 日本人の家族だとスキンシップも控えめだから思春期を迎える時期は子供と距離ができがちなんだけどそんな心配もなさそうですね😘

[@にゃんた-x5c]

運動会楽しそうですね もうすっかり、なじんでますね🤗 日本語も、とても、 じょうずですね! 将来が楽しみですね🤗

[@tsuyoshi-tsuchiya1018]

Thank you very much for posting new video. I heard that ジョシュアのお姉ちゃん頑張れ〜！！！👍👍👍👍 I remember when I used to join 運動会 too.

[@LIJ]

It was too cute, wasn't it?!

[@tsuyoshi-tsuchiya1018]

@@LIJ yes it was so cute 😊

[@puppyear1363]

The original hydrangea is made in japan.I love your children husttle in undojkai.They are so kawaii and fun,good job!

[@井上修-h8w]

運動会は楽しいよね☺️ジョシュアには初めてで特に楽しいよねサラの徒競走も良かった。 中学初めての中間テストご苦労様でした。結果はどうだった？

[@LIJ]

2、3科目はよくできたが、他の科目は課題がある :)

[@drx891]

可愛すぎる❤

[@クリスマスローズ-j2q]

Joshua-chan, the light blue handkerchief wasn't taken well!

[@えもんどら-c3j]

さんぽどうがすきです😄 いっしょにあるいたきになって、いやされます。

[@celinaduguay6484]

It's nothing compared to Japanese Sports Day, but where I live there's a Track & Field Day for elementary students. Those competing from all the elementary schools would go to the University's football stadium (there's only 1 university and 1 college). The activities are ball throw, relay, 100m, 400m, 1500m, long jump, and triple jump. You get ribbons that state what you participated in and what place you got.
