[@redchen3682]

Honestly, I never expected to connect with your channel this much. I started watching because of the BL stuff, but your voice and personality just hooked me. It's so easy to listen to. I was just in Thailand for a month, trying to find work. Bangkok felt like a dystopian city, and all the content I saw about Thailand was about this super-rich, Western lifestyle - totally out of reach for most people. But I guess that's who they're trying to reach. After actually experiencing the culture there, your videos feel really comforting. So much of what's out there about Thailand isn't real life. Even when you got emotional on camera, I totally understood. I'm about to be away from family and friends, probably get rejected a bunch while job hunting, and face some serious culture shock. Your Japan vlogs make me feel like I'm not alone in this whole "figure out my life" journey. Thanks for sharing your experiences!

I really loved the colors and lighting in this video. So cool this autumnal vibe.

I truly enjoy these personal videos from Perth. They're real, sharing with us his honest feelings both good & bad. Thank you for your honesty, real feelings & being yourself always. Time really does fly by as you get older. It doesn't stop sadly ❤❤❤

[@saracreaney]

I think you are so brave moving across countries. I am actually envious of your confidence and courage.

[@Athlynne]

I needed a nice calm chat with you, Perth, thank you. Definitely want to see vids in 2025 of you geeking around Japan!

[@awfeawfe]

Hello! We are from Budapest, Hungary. We happened to find your language learning video, since then we really love your channel. We're studying Japanese and English as well. You got clear voice and understandable, also it's so nice that your videos has subtitles. Keep going and thank you very much! ❤

[@eauwo351]

These days I am finding comfort in your videos! I look forward to your future japan videos! Happy Holidays!

[@vaniaec8971]

All of you Perth is aestethic! You have a unique style that match very well with your personality (and you forniture too) A long time not coming here but always ending mesmerized with only listening you, talking about your experience and perspective of life. I love how your face lights up for that mantis, and let all aside for a photo. For sure I'll do the same. Moving alone to another city is a challenge and a good opportunity for know ourselves better, but it's hard sometimes because is start from zero and without a familiar person who supports us or make more easy the change. Is good to see that you can live comfortably there and learn a lot of things that make your life easier. Thanks for be the person that you are and for convey your opinions and feelings in all that you do. I'll be hoping about that camara content, because seems so relaxing, enjoyable and very zen at the same time Have a good Hollidays Perth!

[@lrice1318]

I love your videos about life in Japan. I've visited a couple times and fell in love with the country and hope to live there one day. It's nice to hear the realities of living in Japan, both good and bad.

[@emiliiajayne]

Really loving these kinds of videos on the channel! Wholesome chats with Perth in nature 🌳

[@spears_elizabeth]

Thank you so much for the captions! Even though English is my first language, health issues have made it difficult to understand sometimes. So, thank you so much!

[@linab.c401]

That would be just so awesome to see you travel around in Japan in places you were curious about, like the countryside next to the sea or in the mountains.

[@sandtigerwolf]

Thank you Perth this is great information for my upcoming trip in March. I am happy to hear you are enjoying your time in Japan.

[@killjadeskye]

I love the aesthetic of this video, and it's cute that your sweater matches your background

[@DhampirParadox]

I’ve really been enjoying your vlogs and also your usual vids with insights to the industry. I’m a little surprised you don’t know that rentals are unfurnished in Australia; you have to supply your own furniture and appliances (fridge, microwave, washing machine & dryer).

[@nyangnyang8611]

thank you for sharing your thoughts and life episodes, i'm glad that overall you enjoy your life over there

[@deipso8147]

As an Australian living in Queensland, I thoroughly enjoy your videos. They are very informative, and your ungilded frankness is refreshing. I always learn new things about Japan from your chats. If you have any interest in art, I would suggest a visit to the National Gallery of Western Art in Tokyo. It has what must be the largest collection of paintings by Renoir and Cézanne, as well as paintings by Matisse, Van Gogh and others. Of course, that stuff might not be to your taste (yet), but it's just a suggestion. I look forward to more of your chats. BTW I like seeing the subtitles in the beautiful Times New Roman font.

[@ehinks75]

You vlog like my brain works. 😂 It's very funny to watch though. I always enjoy your chats, please keep creating them.

[@darcy98331]

Such a fun video... Lots of interesting observations and those crows are definitely getting a new fan in me lol. Keep up the good work! I really enjoyed the editing in this one too!

[@cheng-chilu8195]

I enjoy watching your videos and I love Japan as well. So go for it making more videos of Japan. Although I do miss you on the Thai drama as I am learning Thai and watching drama is a good way of learning the language. Happy New Year.

[@saltedcaramelmochi6997]

Thanks for the video. I only visited Japan for a limited time, so it's interesting to have more insight to how it is to actually live there. When I went to Japan the first time I made the mistake to go in July/August...never again! It sucks so much to finally be in Japan and everything you can think about is when you can finally get home because you're melting. It's actually interesting that most apartments in Thailand seem to be furnished. Here in Germany you have to buy everything and if you're lucky there's an old kitchen in your flat you could use but also have to pay for to either the landlord or the former renter who left it there.

[@engine890]

I love it when you have a "sit-down time" with us. You are a very talented person and please keep us updated with your career. 🥰❤👍

[@javier_CP28]

Thanks the slice of life update. 😄sending positive vibes your way 🙌

[@pluc99-pl99]

I loved this content and yes, plese, more about Japan when you get the chance! I was shocked when I moved to Italy to find out that the apartments didn't have any kitchen furnishings: no counters, sink, cupboards and never mind appliances, just nothing.

[@MichelleRae-Writer]

Im currently visiting my daughter who lives in Japan. The people and country are beautiful and you get a better perspective when you speak the language. Loving your videos while you’re living in Japan.

[@bluwren3999]

Ah, sir, what a Pleasure to visit with you again. 🙂 Thanks for the peek into Tokyo life. Have a safe and happy Holiday and New Year’s celebrations. 🎄🥂🎊 Wishing you joy, success, and contentment in all things in 2025.

[@samwong84]

Happy New Year Perth! Another enjoyable video n enlightening to get to know some interesting facts abt Japan from a foreigner perspective, looking forward to your camera talks and Tokyo exploration plans. All the best in 2025 💪

[@Kill-the-romeo]

thnaks for updating. it was fun to watch

[@ninakaiser2930]

So nice to listen to you talk about Japan - I am really looking forward to explore a bit of the country through your videos 😅

[@jaejae27]

The excitement 🎉whenever I get a notification!!!

[@LadyHydrangeas]

im so glad youve been enjoying Japan!

[@wangjiaer07fan]

The ads was so good I had to watch it all thanks 💚

[@Shostakovich33]

More cooking with Perth videos, please 🙂. Those were some of my favorite from your early days on KZbin. Also, referencing your commentary on others expressing difficulty making friends in Japan. Being real, and in no way trying to diminish your experience, I want to acknowledge pretty privilege, and you're not exactly lacking in the looks department sir. I'm also loving these outdoor chat videos, keep up the great work!

[@why13]

What your friend said about Japanese being more helpful to foreigners, I would say I agree. When I was living there with my ex, it was almost glaringly obvious how they would almost ignore him and just focus solely on me. I was a bit nervous because we lived in a neighborhood not too close to city center and although some people were taken aback by a random Mexican walking about, I honestly felt more welcomed than he did.

[@mazarinf5130]

The actual start of this vid with the coffee is just so on brand. ❤

[@Manaung]

I got to know you from My Engineer. And I learnt to appreciate your honesty from your snacks videos. And now I wish you all the best in your acting career to make enough money to make ONLY the content & movies that you want to do. All the best!

[@user-hq8ph-r]

Wishing you success❤

[@charlotteamouroux4394]

So relaxing to watch before going to bed ❤

[@jdot8295]

That sweater is so great! 🥳✅🌟💯🪡🧶

[@blair4youu]

Thank you so much for posting this video! As somebody who recently got accepted to go to Japan soon to study abroad as a part of a program at my community college, I was curious on what maybe my experience might be, although I am part Japanese, I haven't necessarily been to exposed with Japan yet so I am a bit nervous, but also excited and who knows maybe I can transfer to a university there! But thank you so much for sharing your experience. It means a lot. :,)

[@theresanesser3960]

in Japan, there is a term called "butsukari otoko" which translates to "bumping man," referring to men who deliberately bump into women, often considered a form of harassment or a way to express frustration; this behavior is not widely accepted and is considered inappropriate.

[@drawnhearts23]

I haven't finished watching yet but wanted to comment on what you said about Japanese people being really friendly and helpful - I've been a couple times and found the people to be some of the nicest I've encountered anywhere. I went before smart phones were a big thing so couldn't use Google Translate - so language was definitely a barrier. But it didn't stop them from being so helpful if we needed directions or had questions. I haven't been back since 2011 but it's on the top of my list to visit again soon.

[@javierjimenez6594]

Thank you for telling us about Japan. Thank God for the subtitles too because you speak really fast.

[@taheltanami1470]

Please keep doing this kinds of videos You have such nice and interesting thoughts and it's so nice to hear you speaking It's very calming me to see you and hear you I wish I could talk to you and have a nice conversation like you doing to your viewers in your videos And you are so sweet and amazing Keep going We love you I love you 🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵

[@michaelhillard6158]

Another very engaging video, which was a pleasure to watch. The background setting had a welcoming vibe as well. I assume already being fluent in Japanese must have made things easier when you first moved to Japan. If I understood you correctly, you suggested that there are some types of people who are the same the world over despite local cultures and circumstances. I've also found that to be the case after working in various different countries. And what you said about people in Japan being ready to help people from outside Japan certainly resonated with me. I still remember all the help I got trying to find a piece of manga like architecture near Shibuya that I particularly wanted to see. (You might like to check it out for yourself if you have some free time - Aoyama Technical College) Anyway, thanks again for a video update on your life in Tokyo 👍

[@dancersinger55555]

So interesting to hear about the apartment furnishing. In America all appliances are typically provided, but other than that you have to furnish it. If I moved into an apartment and had to buy a washer/dryer I would be big mad 😂

[@Ava1678]

Hey looking forward for your future projects loved the outfit by the way

[@allisonharden]

The crows out here being your biggest supporters for fair rent prices lol

[@riibbyy]

Watching your video is my new addiction rn ❤

[@theanxiousk]

It does. As we get older, time flies fast soooooooo fast. When time is relative.

[@JoseReyes-ov2tu]

I like that sweater you are wearing. Looks good. BTW It looks like it is not too cold in Tokyo. Here in the US midwest, it is already below freezing at night :) I don't think I could go outside on a top like that and film a video talking for 30+ mins. I would freeze!

[@PerthNakhun]

It got very cold by the end of the video😂

[@Deathrunaway12]

Hi from Lyon (France) ^^ There are 2 types of rental for apartments : furnished and unfurnished rental. Personnally I don't want to bother with eletrical appliances so I always live in full furnisched apartements. It's more expensive but peace of mind have a price lol. I don't have watch that much of your videos but I really like the behind the scene of being a actor ^^ Have a good day !

[@NicholeEbert]

In North America for when you rent or buy a home or an apartment here in North America . That they don’t come furnished either and rent and buying homes and apartments are expensive here in North America.

[@98quiop]

Last summer was so boiling hot and long, but now it's freezing cold. Hope you don't catch a flu!

[@opechatka]

Interesting takes. I always feel conected to you judging by our similar opinions on stuff. I'm trying to go studying in Japan in next year, but it's quite difficult (and much more expensive) from a country which is banned from the rest of the world. We have full furnished appartements here, too). I didn't know about butsuke ojisan at all, but i did about summer. I live in a pretty north located city, so the Tokyo summer must be an eventfull time... looking forvard to hear from your adventures more!

[@greylily97]

I'M LOVING THESE VIDEOS😭🫶🏼

[@Queen.of.chaos1971]

Morning 😊 Time moves in a blink 😫 Have a Great week

[@christinetakahashi4462]

You need to head north for summer in Japan. Iwate and up are great in summer.

[@JustMe-kk9lk]

It's been a while since I've watched your videos) Glad you're doing well, will have to catch up haha ❤ Was thinking about moving to Japan too, thanks for the info ^^

[@harvestmoon_autumnsky]

You know, showing us different nature spots in Tokyo would be pretty cool. Nippara Limestone Caves. Hossawa Falls. Todoraki Valley. Or even just city parks. I know probably people want to see you eating ramen and sushi or whatever. I'd like that too, but maybe showcasing other more historical/cultural stuff. Or behind the scenes theater stuff. What the musical scene is like in Japan.

[@radhamandali5878]

Looking forward to see Tokyo with you.

[@that_sam_94]

I loved the pictures of the praying mantis! Super cute!!

[@iitu2]

I visited Japan first time this autumn and was shocked how cheap conbi food was (compared to my country). And you're saying I could've found even cheaper meals😮

[@NicholeEbert]

I talk conversation level in Japanese and Spanish as well. ❤ so Japan would become easier to me . I can learn Japanese faster. (That’s just my opinion.)

[@puddingtron]

perth in the park!!

[@milaeri5109]

Nice up-date chat Perth! Wish you all the best in 2025 in your career as well as in your private life. Hope to see you in a series that is showed here in Europe 😘

[@nickolaslewis1560]

The crows are looking at you as food.🤣

[@JammyJacketPotato]

If you can go to Hokkaido in the summer. I lived in Sapporo and summers were a nice 27C with no humidity 👍

[@nudota]

I'm Ukrainian who currently lives in Latvia and in both countries it is quite opposite about apartment furniture. It is harder to find an empty apartment, then fully furnished

[@Blue-lt1sq]

Idk y but I can just listen to u talk all day ❤️

[@iarageneroso-n6p]

Oi,Perth. Que você aproveite as coisa boas do Japão. Saia por ai mostrando o que você vê e gosta. Você é muito gente boa, e sua opinião sobre o que vivencia ai no Japão são bem relevantes. Bom trabalho! Beijos aqui do Brasil.

[@adsimal]

Lol my Mum ended up buying a parasol in Seoul when we were there in Sept because it was so damn hot and sunny, We're from a part of Canada that actually gets very hot summers, but Korea was reallly going through it this September! 🥵

[@채월Sky]

I’m not trying to tie everything to BL, but just because you are an actor and someone who works as a BL actor it would be really fun as a suggestion for you to go to the BL café in Japan because I’ve seen a lot of random KZbinrs go that have nothing to do with the BL industry so they get really flustered or shy and shocked when they go because of the reenactments the staff is doing❤ I’ve would really love to see the reaction from a perspective of an actual BL actor.❤

[@medeea8078]

That's such a good idea!

[@alessiaborin5347]

Loved the video! And I agree basically on everything you said. And it also happened to me to meet a salaryman who bumped into me without saying sorry. I didn't know there was a word for these men, interesting!

[@NicholeEbert]

I swear you’re like talking about something ,and then you’re like ooooo that’s shiny ✨ I need to poke it lmao jk. You were talking and mid-conversation that you started talking about a praying mantis lol so cute ❤ . We’re the same age too lol .

[@Koenji-kx7vz]

I like Kōenji and Saitama . It’s not so expensive and not so far away from Tokio City. And I like your Aussie Accent. Stay safe and healthy

[@medawara7789]

Lol the crows crack me up. The few times ive been in japan, the crows are huge and very opinionated. And the array of fanta flavors! I miss melon fanta 😢

[@counsellour]

I don't know if these still exist in Tokyo, but when I was there over a decade ago, they had no groping signs on the trains.

[@saracreaney]

I rent in the UK. Most furniture you probably have is a stove and hob. Carpets. Everything else uou need to buy.

I miss japan so much. Lived there for about 3 years in total. I plan to go back in 2026 for work

[@なし-i4r]

Definitely not in summer if you want to come to Japan. That’s so true.

[@Swedmonkei]

Okay this is gonna be weird maybe but just wanted to say somehow I feel like we have like, the same way of speaking? Idk it just feels like watching myself speak 😂Love your content!

I love walking. It will make me feel peace and relax. But working takes me much time😤😭😭

[@FranciscoBourquin]

it's not the first time that I hear that japanese are more friendly to foreigners than with each other and said by japanese themselves... Just realised I never finished watching this video lol . Also just joined your community here so I'm so happy. And yeah it's my second comment on this vid so what? jk

[@DafLunaEclipse]

I think I would be interesting to see you tour the Ghibli museum if you haven't already.

[@raskitampati3558]

Wanna try working there ❤
