Hello Norm, thanks for the video! I enjoyed seeing so many abandon villages! Although, it really makes me want to go exploring. But can't because I am staying at a motel and can't leave my Granddad alone for too long. However, I think you have a new fan in him. I showed him a couple of your videos and he enjoyed them a lot. "Can't wait for the next video!" Says Grandpa Joe.

Hi, I'm from Osaka who became a Canadian citizen a while ago. It's very refreshing to see someone get so excited about things we ignore. Probably Japanese viewers like us are more excited with his reactions than the documentary itself, however, it becomes an exciting video to watch because of the hosts' contagious reactions, & good character. (Imagine you try to adventure your own local places with the same excitement) Please keep up your good job introducing places like these !

@With_Me_JAPAN3 жыл бұрын
Interesting point of you Norm! I think one of the reasons the collapsed houses are abandoned is the owner died and there are no one to inherit or even if there is his child who has ownership, the child just lets it go because there are some taxes needed to pay for owing it. It is one of the problems Japan has regarding our lands.

Hey Norm, one of my favourite things about your videos is that a lot of the people you talk to seem to want to go out of their way to talk to you and help you as much as possible. I know that part of that is because Japanese people tend to be super polite and helpful, but I suspect a large part of it is that you yourself are super polite and respectful of them, and your enthusiasm is infectious. I constantly look forward to when your next video is dropping.

I always have a feeling for abandoned places, to put it simple, I want to understand, to experience others' lives. When looking at an abandoned place, my mind will start drawing the pictures, like how people were living back then, what were there, TV programs, mangas, patin shoes, uniform, so they must have a school right, how was it, how was everything back then, what did the children do in the summer. Oh the curtains, they were used back then, when the weather was hot, how was everything then, how were the people, were there the children sitting there and reading books, or they gathered there in the evening to talk, to sing. The inside, the boxes were left there, they contained daily items, is that a present box, for who, when, what is it inside, how were the parties back then? Over 40-50 years ago? Back then, Vietnam was even in war! Things look peaceful there, the kitchen, the slide doors, the manga pages, the mail box. How were they abandoned, when, why? Who were the last one to leave, how did they feel, how did the people from nearby villages feel when their friends stopped visiting? By the time the houses were build, the time when the items inside the house were purchased, I didn't even born yet... Wow... but the keys, the clothes hanging, the books... somehow they make me feel familiar... Ah yeah because people still revisit the place XD also, even in the rural places, things look still new, I mean like there are still people, there are still items transfer to these places. It's so great to find a person share the same interest with you, when you say "I feel like a little kid, I feel like I'm having an adventure", I feel that too, even through the screen! I really hope that some days I will save up enough to travel and explore in Japan just like you do, and I hope I can see by my own eyes, and can compare stuffs with your videos

It is often hard to tell people why I loved it in Japan so much (my Japanese friends used to call me tamago, saying I was white on the outside, but yellow on the inside), but you really capture it.

There's this sense of loneliness and dread when I saw those abandoned houses. I'm glad you met so many nice people. It's awesome they shared their stories and some of them seemed to have really wanted to do so. The villages might be abandoned but their story will go on cause of these videos. The last village was creepy! The bgm didn't help I just felt uneasy looking at it haha. It would definitely make an interesting video although it seems dangerous though.

my father and mother were born and grew up in like these places they were lucky to grow up in such environment we still visit their home town and it somehow feels nostalgic for me too

Dam good video.... personally i would have loaded this first before the previous one.... my brain kept recollecting scenes from that video and merging it with this one... I wouldn't say they have an obsession rather they got it down pat as how to monetize everything... which is why i also think most of the towns/cities have their own "character rep" ...hmmm you know what could have helped you out with the insects and spiders Norm?!?🤔 Some sort of head gear 😉 One of the reasons i love hats is for protection of my hair, added benefit don't need to put sunscreen on my face 😁
