花火も凄いけど、浴衣でスケートボード乗りこなしながら「パパのはパジャマじゃない！」と言うサラ最高！

[@北真一-u7g]

大人も、子供もみんな浴衣姿似合っていましたよ。素敵でした。 パパ、ママ日本の文化を尊重し子供たちに体験させてくれてありがとう。

[@user-dellshp]

海外の方に日本の文化が受け入れられてるのが素直に嬉しい。

[@lin_win7777]

Now I’m convinced that Japanese festival fireworks are the best piece of art I have seen so far 🎆

[@Japonicasian]

I can't find the word to express the feeling when summer is about to end. Fireworks, matsuri, weather and eveything is just so nostalgic. I hate summer in Japan but I like it at the sametime.

[@ArikoannZ]

I totally agree with you. Too hot , even humid. However it just makes your beer taste better and gives you unforgettable moment of summer in Japan.

[@nikkibun89]

The fireworks are definitely more majestic than the ones I have seen in the US. Just mesmerizing!

[@asianangel5400]

Those fireworks are amazing !!!!!!!

[@濱田英明-m3o]

スゴイ花火を見せてくれました。ありがとうございました。行ったり来たり、上がったり降りたりお疲れ様でした。マンションでは少し見づらかったかもですが、あれだけ見えたら上等です🎉ありがとうございました❤

[@nyarome3]

私も一緒に最後はWoooooo~!!って叫んでしまった。ｗ　花火ありがとうございました。👍

[@danhill1186]

Thank you very much for bringing a bit of Japanese summer to us! This epic firework was absolutely impressive, fireworks in Germany can't compare! It just went on and on, and just when you thought you'd seen the finale, an even grander finale followed! 😁 You all look great in that traditional Japanese clothing, what a kind friend you have!

[@YK-xb8sv]

It's the biggest fireworks of my life. nice video thank you.

[@moriya008]

浴衣着て、花火大会を観る。🎇まさにLife in Japanですね。😊家からは調布の花火大会の音だけ聞こえてました。今度は観に行きたいです。❤

[@naomiozawa1502]

最近花火見てなかったけど、今の花火ってこんなにすごいんですね。画面越しでも最高でした。シェアしてくれてありがとう。

[@dianechaniewski293]

Woah, what a show!! That must've been so expensive to put on!! How beautiful though! Thanks for sharing.

[@LIJ]

Thanks for watching!

[@niko-qu4pk]

日本の花火といったら柳の迫力ですよね😊 動画から観ても鳥肌が立って感動しました✨ 皆さん浴衣もお似合いで素敵な動画ありがとうございました😊

[@とりあえずやってみよ]

家からも見えるのはラップでしたね♪でも、間近で見る花火も音も込みで日本の花火ですから機会が有れば一度は近くで花火を見て下さいね❗

[@hide-15]

素敵な家族と一緒に素敵な人生を楽しんでください😊

皆さんの浴衣姿、とてもお似合いでしたよ⭐️ やぁ、調布の花火大会行きたかったけど、仕事があったので残念💦 しかし、花火大会はフィナーレが最高すぎた❗️ 感動しました⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@appleg9830]

Everyone looks great in YUKATA !! You always remind us Japanese of the goodness of Japan. I really appreciate it. It was the best summer tradition!!!🌺

[@MsSharonSpencer]

OMG !!! What an overwhelming and crazy grand finale !!! I got excited !!! 🤯🎆🎇🎆🎇🎉 At first I didn't notice it was Chofu Fireworks, that I also saw from my house in neighboring Mitaka City !! 🥰Thank you for sharing the exciting video !! 🤩

[@bjjikeda2529]

いや～。よかった！サイコー。いいもの見せてもらいました！

[@joykoch5627]

I think the Japanese love of fireworks exceeds that of the US!

[@LIJ]

Ha ha- it's quite possible! :)

[@angelicasoup638]

Sarah I loved your character. Special you’re on skateboard with kimono. Very cute.👍👍👍👍

[@SKARTINOV]

調布の花火大会ですね。今年は9月下旬開催ですが暑かったでしょう。 両岸に30～40万人が集まり南武線が破裂しそうなほど混雑するので、ご自宅からの特等席で見られるのはうらやましいです。

[@rebeccachia]

Thank for sharing this amazing moment with all of us. they are so amazing, beautiful and wild, it is hard to pick!

[@brucehutcheson5302]

Wow !! I have never seen a fireworks display like that ever. Must have been incredible noise for the people around there at the time. Great video again. Keep them coming 😊

[@yacosaito6411]

パパさん👨、ママ👩さん、いつもご苦労様です！素晴らしい👍親に育てられた子供達は本当に幸せですね😁いつまでも日本にいて下さいね♪

[@lruss5050]

Spectacular! I know I’ve never seen fireworks as good as that! Thank you for filming!❤❤❤❤

[@Bezanie]

Firework shows are always fun to watch! Even better to watch from the house, because if you run out of snacks, the pantry's not far away! 😄

[@devoncampbell7073]

Tokyo is beautiful the fireworks

[@samrutster]

No place does firework shows like Japan!!

[@elisabethreiter2707]

Oh the yukata are so gorgeous! Beautiful!

[@xiaobao4757]

What a cool experience for your family and friends!

[@NK-ul4es]

Fireworks look more beautiful in winter. Because the density of air changes depending on the temperature. A fireworks display that doubles as a fair is held in the Tohoku region in the winter, and it's a great sight to see as a selection of fireworks go off.

[@phylham3560]

This was awesome. Like I was there in person. Great fireworks!! I enjoy your videos. Hi everyone! 👋

[@LIJ]

Glad you enjoy the videos!

[@TheKerokitty]

For YEARS I tried to come up with an American comparison to okonomiyaki. The best I came up with was a savory potato pancake, but the loaded baked potato is so much better because the variety that encompasses is perfect because we literally change it up every time we make it. If you guys get a hankering to fireworks outside of fireworks season there is a show down in Atami that you can watch from the beach and pier on the 15th of every month, rain or shine. It was raining last time we went so they mean it when they say that. We cut corners and all went in jinbei. We are so happy the new house is working out for you guys!!!

[@LIJ]

Thanks for letting us know - sounds like fun!

[@seriesMobile369]

子供達の浴衣👘凄く可愛い😍し、ママちゃんとお友達の方も凄く浴衣👘素敵でパパさんも侍甚平で紳士的でカッコいいです👍｡とても花火もHey Vegas🤗

[@サンパチ-o4o]

サミットを見て思い出しました！ 調布市花火大会ですね🎆🎆 中野島駅から少し北へ向かうと河岸から特等席で観られるので良いですよね🤗🤗

[@edo8.kaz_neon]

「 #調布 、アリガトウ！👍 」がグッと来ましたが、 #グランド・フィナーレ かと思いきやの怒涛の #アンコール・フィナーレ で締めるとは、なかなかの“エンタテイナー”ぶりですね！ 👏 ～ こんなド派手な #花火大会🎆 は“初めて”かも …!? 🎉㊗️🎊

[@romio3222]

日本の文化をしっかり、楽しんで頂けたようで、本当に良かった～ꉂ🤣𐤔👍🏻⭐️

[@comarites]

The ladies looked wonderful in their yukata.😊 Becca and Anna said it was tight, but maybe in a few more years they will have a chance to wear it. Lovely fireworks display! From the balcony of your house, you have a special seat. I heard that these days, fireworks are mostly computer-controlled. In the past, craftsmen used to do it themselves at dangerous sites, but now, because of computers, there are less dangers and more variations!

[@mamig3216]

Can’t blame them honestly it’s pretty but It’s really tight, like a corset and almost impossible to go to the bathroom in it 😂! You also need to wear a layer of inner-wear underneath it gets hot especially in a hot and super humid summer like this year’s .

[@bethbarclay855]

Japan has the best fire works shows. The ending was spectacular.

[@takemaruchitaka0322]

ママさんの浴衣姿、色っぽいですね😊

賑やかな大家族で羨ましい…

[@70-70-s]

ラスト鳥肌が立った😭

[@elteescat]

I LOVE fireworks! I spent the vast majority of my childhood years living where fireworks weren't available, so even now, at 52 years old, I WON'T miss a chance to see them! (One year, when I was around 8 years old, our town announced a fireworks show. And when we showed up they were shooting off emergency flares and trying to pass them off for fireworks! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣)

[@RagnarokArrives]

I've never seen anything like that display in real life and I've been to the fireworks in Chicago. Loved the excitement you all showed for this special event. The video was really good at the end with no soundtrack. Just the sound of fireworks and chatter.

[@CarlsVlogs]

Hi everyone what beautiful fireworks, I'm not good at the moment, I'm recovering after Prostate cancer treatment and we have just lost our dog Misty 😢 😞.

[@LIJ]

So sorry to hear that. Glad to see your comment back here though!

[@jellyfish939]

6:10 how cool is Sarah!!!

[@t靖子-m1e]

素晴らしすぎる花火❤

[@interrogagaga]

「花」🌸「火」🔥だから、色々な色と形で美しいですよね😊

[@zoob6510]

なかなか動画で花火大会の素晴らしさを表現するのは難しいのですが、この動画は良くできていると思います 実際には音のインパクトや空一面に広がる大きさ、芸術性、高さなどは体験しないとなかなかわからない 浴衣がきついと言ってる娘さんですが、そういう場合には作務衣が良いですよ 動きやすく作業用の浴衣のようなものです

[@kirapink7698]

Amazing😆😆😆サイコー‼️

[@焼豚タマゴめし]

ルースさん美しいですね。浴衣が良く似合ってます。パパちゃんが羨ましいですね。

[@chromists]

フィナーレ最高だね！

[@sarahguerrero1169]

Is this in Yokohama? It looks so familiar. We were in Japan in Yokosuka from 2020 to May of this year. We miss Japan so much. ❤ y'all look amazing.

[@LIJ]

[@sarahguerrero1169]

@@LIJ awesome, we went to Yomiuri Land to see the lights in 2021. The kids and I still miss it so much. Husband is there for another month finishing up his duty station. So glad I found your channel. 😊

[@無銘迷刀]

😊😊😊Enjoy Japan.

[@TheRedogle]

I think it looked even better when you saw it up close. Fireworks are not only something to see, but also to enjoy the sound.

[@concretecanuckwall]

New to your channel and have been binge watching your videos when I have time. I did see the Christmas short where you spoke in English and I believe it's Anna who spoke in Japanese. I really liked hearing the Japanese language in that short and wish you would incorporate more of the Japanese language in your videos from all members of the family. Cheers from Canada!

[@LIJ]

Thanks! We'll have to include it more in future videos.

[@taz_kempf]

Everyone looked amazing in their kimonos 👘, I especially loved the pattern of Sarah’s and how her hair was also. I’m also a big fan of Okonomiyaki. My brother introduced us when he was learning Japanese at university. I just really don’t enjoy adding the fish flakes, even if they “dance”.

[@LIJ]

They almost look like they're alive, don't they?!

[@tsutomum1462]

That's great

[@japan6906]

わざわざ浴衣着て、現場まで行って、浴衣脱いで、家に戻ってって。。。自由過ぎるｗ

You guys look so pretty and handsome. Okonomiyaki taste so good because I try it before. We have Okonomiyaki in MA. Look so busy for the fireworks. Yukatas for guys does look like pjs. The fireworks look so cool. So true not a lot space but close to a lot of things. When I move to my new place in a suburbs close to the city. Look a lot the smoke from the fireworks.

女の子も着れる可愛い甚平もあるから今度はそっち着てみるといいかも✨

[@yoshikurakino]

パジャマみたいとお嬢さんが言ってますが実は浴衣は日本のパジャマなので正解です。 パパちゃん牧師様、グレーの作務衣(さむい/さむえ)お似合いですよ！ 作務衣は工芸品職人の仕事用衣類ですが、通気性良く動きやすいので浴衣同様に部屋着や夕涼みの散歩着にも使われます。 ちなみに浴衣の着付けは着付け依頼すると浴衣レンタル代金込みで１人6000円〜12000円が相場です。 御友人はライター家の思い出作りの為に役立ちたかったんですね。 素晴らしい御友人ですね。

[@モグ太郎-m7m]

作務衣はお坊さんの作業着でしたね

[@yoshikurakino]

​​​​​@@モグ太郎-m7m 御坊さんではありませんね。 近現代に広まったのは禅宗由来ですから、修験者/御坊様/密教の僧侶または寺院を御坊と昔々呼んでいた浄土真宗ではないので。 しいて言えば禅師、平たく言えば和尚(真言宗/臨済宗/曹洞宗/浄土宗では“おしょう”、天台宗では“かじょう”)様、日蓮宗は上人様。 日本文化に関係深い仏教なので区別は知っておく必要があります。 今回の場合は職人の作業着の作務衣を広めたのは曹洞宗の修行僧達なので御坊さんは人称代名詞/指示詞として微妙です。 日蓮宗の僧侶もよく着ていますが、上人様等は事務服とか事務衣と呼ぶそうです。 呼び方なんか庶民にゃどうでも良いのですが😂細かな文化の相違なので知っておけば各宗派の方との会話が途切れずに済むでしょ？ ただし禅宗(曹洞派/臨済派:近世的な区別)は真言宗や天台宗同様に太秦氏や渡来系ゆかりの天狗信仰と関係が深く例えば関東で近世まで曹洞宗の大道場として機能した修験者と禅僧を兼ねる方によって開かれた大雄山最乗寺の影響色濃く、臨済宗も鎌倉五山筆頭の大本山建長寺(建長護国禅寺)が近代に修験道の半僧坊権現社を寺の鎮守に勧請したりしてますから、その様な寺院の修験道由来の奥院や塔頭で御勤めされる方を「御坊さん」と呼ぶのは差し障りないはずです。 でも関東で躑躅の名所として有名な青梅市にある真言宗の塩船観音寺は修験系真言密教に自負があり、職員の方々に御当寺の僧職の方を「御坊様」と呼ぶように敢えて訂正されます。ですから最初から御坊様と呼ぶ必要が有る場合も有るので真言密教寺院や天台密教寺院は徳川家による修験道弾圧以前に修験道寺院神社だった可能性のあるので事前に御寺の歴史をホームページや東大の前身の昌平坂学問所の風土記稿等を国立国会図書館のデジタル図書で読むと良いと思います。 塩船観音寺は修験道の真言密教寺院です。 この様に実は御坊様の呼称は全ての仏教宗派に対して使える物ではありません。 作務衣に所縁深い曹洞宗に限れば御坊さんの代名詞/指示詞は当たらずとも遠からずと言った呼称だと思います。 彼等は伝統工芸師の服装を実用していますね。 刀剣の研師や漆器など幅広く袴姿では作業性落ちる分野の方々が用いてますよね。 何か曹洞宗由来の作務衣=現代の物と同じと勘違いされる方もいる様ですが近現代の物とは異なりますから、昔の修行僧は現代のような作業性特化した作務衣なんて着ずに掃除等に従事してたので、大変だったでしょうね。
