Will Rachel Like Fukuoka? レイチェルの初福岡！気に入ってくれるかな？

[@RachelandJun]

Thank you so much for showing me around for four whole days!! :D I'm bringing Jun down asap!! I've been craving those pancakes ever since I left.

[@Ciaela]

Yess! Come back with Jun and stay longer so we can go to the mediocre place, the touristy place, the overpriced place, and you can become a PRO on Fukuoka Pancake culture. ;p

[@SonnieTravels]

I really hope you move here! That'd be so cool and I think you'd really enjoy this city. My building's landlord speaks english and allows cats btw ;) hahaha

[@NimrodClover]

Somehow I had missed R&J's vlog post from about a year ago here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJ3HZauaZ7iMh9k In it R mentions their interest in moving and directly compares Tokyo and Fukuoka. At the time R says she had only met M one other time and had never been to Fukuoka. Granted, late 2017 into early 2018 saw several long-time J-vlogers moving so it seems in keeping with the state of things. M is a good advocate for the south island area.

[@IntenseCHASE]

So I actually got to meet you guys during ohanami season! Now I understand why you guys were around this time! Hope to bump into you guys again sometime soon! :D

[@davidwolstenholme1136]

i used to make all sorts of things for pat and our children in the past one being pancakes i never liked them

[@EspadaShi]

Omg this is such a cool way of letting the viewers know the place too, showing it to someone who has not been there. Loved it!

[@cakeswithfaces]

Really enjoyed visiting Fukuoka for the first time last month! The city has a chilled feel to it, like somewhere you could actually live rather than being crazy and busy. And it was a great base for day trips to other places in Kyushu.

[@dawnprincess1878]

Cakes with Faces would you be living as a gaijin or assimilate? I was married to one and it’s not as easy to live there as it looks. If you just plan to live a couple of years it’s perfect but to live forever, no. What do gaijin do for income? I taught. Are there more opportunities?

[@nerdecrafter]

Fukuoka is on our list of places to move to as well! Glad you made this vid 😍

[@loopyfrog]

eh?! You're moving?!?!?!?!

[@nerdecrafter]

loopyfrog lol yeah. I was going to leave that for a vlog, but you got me first 😂

[@loopyfrog]

oops, soweee! Maybe nobody will see *delete delete!!! haha

[@MissHanake]

i've got to visit fukuoka some day!!! you guys look so gorgeous with both your glowing red hair 🤩 great vid!!!

[@tenztoy]

ミカエラさん、福岡を愛して世界に魅力を発信してくれてありがとう！ 関東に住んで何十年も経ったけど、博多は祖父母と両親の故郷で、私も大濠公園の近くで生まれ育った街なので今も大好きです。 市内に路面電車が走っていた頃の風景を懐かしく思います・・・

[@maggyfrog]

fukuoka seems like one of the best places in japan. honestly it looks so fun and laid back and summery and serene all at the same time. :D

[@EnigmaDave]

I know Rachel and Jun have many real-world considerations to evaluate, but I really hope they choose to move to Fukuoka. My motivations are simple and selfish -- I think all 4 would become good friends, and post more often.

[@Mrs._.GalaxyWanderer]

Enigma Dave same!

[@vendela678]

they did!!!!

[@RaiofLight]

Love the editing of your videos, the wya you keep them informational, yet light-hearted and fun at the same time. Great job! :) 9:05 When you try to prank someone and they don't even notice/care. XD

[@musashimarc7536]

i am so much happy to see must seing tour fukuoka! best to you micaela

[@dirtydiana49111]

This looked like so much fun! Can't wait to visit Japan!

[@etherdog]

I loved how you pimped your hair for this and including the links to the spots you visited! Sorry to be so late to your party, but this was so delightful that I just had to comment.

[@iuliabodrova3691]

Red hair suits you a lot! *-* I love your videos! And I love when you show different places in Fukuoka, makes me wanna go there so much! This swing on the beach looks like my ultimate favorite spot :D Looks like you and Rachel had a lot of fun exploring the city 😍

[@sharlainjapan]

Yasss hottest red heads in Japan join forces🔥 I know I say it every time but that hair is so perfect for you😭👌🏻💯 So jealous Rachel made it to visit you before meeee ahhh ok it’s actually easier for me to come visit you now, so let’s make it happen✈️

[@Ciaela]

Sharmander you’re welcome any time!!! Let’s make it happen!

[@davidwolstenholme1136]

yes im sure it will happen sharmander

[@TiGerBomb637]

Loving the sweater Rachel is wearing at 7:14, & Micaela's Fuk shirt. Awesome choices of clothing attire. STAR WARS, STAR WARS, STAR WARS. FUK! :3 Best wishes to Rachel & Jun if you decide to move to Fukuoka, looks like a very calm & adventure full place. My 3 favorite parts of the video were the VR Arcade, Flower Mountain, & the Angel Wings. They reminded me of a quote I heard awhile back. -"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like roman candles exploding like spiders across the sky." Well thx for posting & until next time ^-^

[@Ciaela]

I love this comment! What a cool quote! Thanks for telling me what you liked about the video!!! :)

[@LiTtoSpArKl3s]

Those PANCAKES look so good! And that is probably the most organized thrift shop I've ever seen. Thanks for the Fukuoka tour!

[@LifeWithMrsB]

Fukuoka is so going on my list of places to visit one day :) loved the (almost) matching hair lol

[@avsang]

You really make great videos Michaela. Love the format you and Rachel did. ^_^ The flower mountain is so beautiful. 🌼🏵💮🌸💐

[@Ciaela]

Yunie chan thank you so much for saying that :))))

[@singbubble]

Wow I'm early!! Super excited to watch as Fukuoka is one of my favourite places I've ever been :) just such a nice chill place

[@singbubble]

Update finished the video! Rachel should so move to Fukuoka and I really need to visit Itoshima next time I'm back it looks beautiful :D. Also to any foreigners visiting for a short time like I did there's a language school called Genkijacs that has short summer programs which was great the first time I was in Fukuoka as it was the first time I came to Japan and made everything a lot easier :)

[@alexsekai]

I love your videos Micaela! I will be coming to Japan for my university studies and I can’t wait to visit Fukuoka one day. Thanks for the fun and interesting content 💖😄

[@3DJapan]

10:00 Plus they say the healthiest meals have lots of colors.

[@maple4maple]

It's so great to see some familiar places now that I live in Fukuoka/Itoshima as well! I've always been watching your videos when I was back home in The Netherlands, but now that I'm finally here I can enjoy them even more!

[@ElHerpoDerpo]

Awesome video! Micaela and Rachel make a great couple. Im happy for them.

[@vendela678]

so stoked they are moving there soon!!!!!

[@nihonchique]

You guys are so genuinely happy! I love your interactions together. Hope to see more soon. Thank you for always showing me some amazing places around Fukuoka. Someday I will venture out there again from Osaka!

[@keito3201]

ミカエラさん健康的になりましたね！可愛い〜

[@Ciaela]

ありがとう😊

[@anjahdh]

パンケーキ美味しそう🥞福岡に住んでいるので、今度行ってみます！

[@Rose_from_UK]

The answer is YES!! I’m so pleased for you x

[@Orochimaru010]

wow that flower mountain was beautifull

[@alicecolor1244]

great video, fukuoka is on my travel list now for sure!!

[@vilvero]

5:40 looks so beautiful! Gotta visit Fukuoka one day.

[@leaseomse3908]

Aaaw man, watching you go around all these places I love in Fukuoka really makes me want to go back there 😍

[@amuro9487]

this movei is very good!! there is no subtitles ,its good for me because Im learning English . I watched your video with hiding subtitles before. Now its good for me. And fukuoka is great city! everything are beautiful and foods looks very delicous!!! I hope you will enjoy your life and please provide good movies you made!!

[@yoichi503]

俺も福岡大好き。昔、東京の会社に勤めていた時、一回だけ福岡へ出張があった。嬉しくて自費で前夜に行って、夜遊びした。そのせいで、次の日、出張先へ遅刻w

[@hannahlise9120]

Fukuoka and many other places in Kyushu are definitely on my bucket list! I'm glad Rachel had such a good time! I hope she'll come back soon with Jun ❤

[@Ciaela]

I hope you come visit, Hannah! I'll give you all the advice you need to have a great time if you do! :))))

[@hannahlise9120]

That would be AMAZING! I would feel like a VIP getting your personal recommendations ❤

[@Sunny-sama]

Hope she liked it! Fukuoka is still one of my favorite cities in Japan. Lived there in 2014, and will be moving back for a year starting October. Can't wait to do a round of Ohori park every now and then, or eat til I drop in the Tenjin area haha

[@abbyrose1868]

Fukuoka is so beautiful

[@nabukuma]

Yay! Mad love for Fukuoka

[@GWYNZILLAAA]

Wow!! That flower mountain was absolutely beautiful!!

[@macbookdaisy1430]

凄い、、300個目のコメントもらいます♡ ミカエラさんの動画にレイチェルご夫妻の福岡への引越しの伏線が貼ってあったんですね！☺️♥︎

[@benndoverr5233]

Another great video. That area is so beautiful.

[@tubetop123]

You two are awesome

[@rueriddle]

you such a good videographer Micheala. This was so professional looking. get the feeling that the Japanese really know how to relax and it is likely because they are generally such hard workers that they need to balance that with relaxing and fun things to see and do

[@madmanali93]

I haven't seen your videos in a while and this video is great! Now I need to binge watch what I missed. Micaela your my new netflix XD

[@user-xm6hj7si5h]

Miss Fukuoka so much. @Micaela May I know where I can buy the "FUK" T-shirt you wore? Thanks!

[@IrisMG]

Try Googling

[@NimrodClover]

The best part for me was 4:49 - "let's jump in the vines!" then bang... PUMP THE SATURATION TO THE MAX!!! It made me laugh. Although, I do have to wonder if M did the whole red hair thing because R was visiting. Really enjoyed the spontaneity of the video. In an odd way, in just over eleven minutes, this particular video felt like a mash up of most of Micaela's time on KZbin. It really had elements of nearly all her other videos in one. 1. Voice over with elements of a travel guide 2. Images of going around downtown Fuk town 3. Canal City 4. Mandatory food pics, eating, etc. at "one of her favorite places" 5. Shots from inside a moving car 6. Beach visit 7. Nature / Forest shots 8. Modeling poses that are goofy, silly, funny, then serious... then back to goofy 9. Talking about finding a place to live in or around Fukuoka 10. Shopping for clothing and 11. Mentioning, visiting, or heading to or from an airport Of all the J-vlog personalities I have followed over the years I find M and R to be the most similar overall. I am curious just how long the red hair will last for Micaela. If Mimei visited I wonder if she would try blue? Fun video as always!

[@Ciaela]

Haha, thanks for the analysis! I like comments like these, they're so much fun. I have had my hair red for about two months now. Since March, actually, but a lot of the videos I posted in March were shot earlier in the year so you can't really tell on KZbin. But I just wanted a change from my old blonde colour. Red is super hard to maintain and fades fast (for those of us not blessed with natural red locks, RACHEL!) so I might just go to black or brown next. ;p The super-saturation in the photos was how Tatsu chose to edit them, and he always edits them before he sends the data to me. They're his "art" so I can't really do much about that--but I made the same comment about them being super saturated when I saw them too. Haha. I think Rachel and I are similar in a lot of ways too! Hanging out with her was really easy because she's got a wild imagination and can spin off of ideas, which is very similar to my sense of humor too, but she's very outgoing where I'm more reserved, and yet we're both really socially awkward dorks. Haha. It was easy to spend four days with her though! She's a lot of fun and I have nothing but positive things to say about her

[@NimrodClover]

Your welcome - so many people, sort of passively watch KZbin yet the effort or disclosure that goes into some videos deserves something more than just "I like your vid." It feels like you are getting back to your "old" self (actually your improved state of mind self that you mentioned previously). Oh, with the not being able to tell your hair color just... PUMP THE SATURATION TO THE MAX!!! (should become your new tag line)

[@三日月-d9z]

いつも楽しく見させて頂いています。今回も福岡(一部佐賀)の魅力がギュッとつまった動画で楽しかったです^^ 私は以前大濠公園の近くに住んでいたので大濠公園にもよく行っていました。ほんと、あそこは落ち着きますね。ただ、最もお気に入りだったのは福岡城展望台下の鉄の橋をくぐって、南側を回り野球場から鴻臚館の展示棟に出る遊歩道でした。苔むした地面と鬱蒼とした木々に夕日が斜めに当たる瞬間が太古の森みたいでとても好きでした。また行きたいな～。(腰が重い・・・)

[@ModdyDhoo]

We're planning to move to Japan for work sometime next year. It'd be awesome if you could do a Q and A video, especially if you can answer pet and apartment questions!

[@Ciaela]

Moddy Dhoo what kind of questions do you have? That’s a great idea for a video :)

[@ModdyDhoo]

Micaela ミカエラ Hm! Things like where to find a pet friendly apartment would be tops for me since we have two cats. Other than that, maybe anything you think is important about just finding an apartment in general, maybe even popular neighborhoods people like to rent in and why? I think another thing I’d really like to see if what move in protocol is. I didn’t know until recently that it’s not uncommon to give your landlord a gift as thanks for moving in, for example.

[@jody024]

Well now that Rachel is moving there(with Jun and cats ofc), we know she likes it there, haha.

[@Rose_from_UK]

What a great place you live! I enjoyed this

[@ysamiaka8472]

I miss Fukuoka already! 7 months to go til my trip! I'm going to watch this again before my trip because of the restaurant recommendations. 😍

[@kumi3629]

いつもほんとに綺麗☺️メイク動画やスキンケア動画も見てみたいです！

[@inmyshoes372]

I miss Fukuoka so much when I watch this video!! You guys seem so have really fun together! :)

[@SYama-xl4ko]

Nice vlog as usual. Hopefully Rachel and Jun ends up moving to Fukuoka! Take care

[@SonnieTravels]

I can't believe Rachel was here too! It'd be so cool if she moved here. :D I've only been living in Fukuoka for about a month, but really love the city already. My husband and I try to keep an eye out to see you too haha Also, I LOVE your shirt!!

[@superchatoalien4905]

Rachel's Japanese become so much better ! I'm so proud !

[@Charizard215]

Wow, that Mexican restaurant looks pretty authentic, for being in Japan. I might have to try that if I ever go to Fukuoka.

[@plantsdaft]

It's so nice to see you two together!!

[@EliseAziza]

Love your hair Micaela you're gorgeous! And I love Rachel she's so funny!!

[@magicallydevious]

This video made me so excited for my visit!! I definitely want to hit up that pancake spot!

[@Ciaela]

It's my fave--but they have other really crazy desserts there too! It's a dessert lover's cafe, for sure.

[@chigasaki06]

My friend lives in Fukuoka. I can't wait to visit. Also, you can't beat the proximity to S. Korea!

[@ToniMorgan14]

It looks like you guys had a blast!

[@LittleDreamer1412]

Going back to Fukuoka to visit friends in September and I am so going to get those pancakes!

[@HiroIndo16]

So cool seeing you two in a video together! I almost forgot that rachel&jun and micaela is in the same universe.

[@kujmous]

That swing looks like a place I could spend all day.

[@LucyMiakosama]

Kyushu is so much fun!! I live in Oita prefecture and Fukuoka is where I plan to search for work!!

[@foxtrotml4540]

this video was so much fun to watch. Love you both!

[@vozreni]

Dang I just left Fukuoka 2 days ago! So many fun things I didn't know about!

[@c0284]

Your love will make their life there meaningful.

[@NIIoSHEA]

Fukuoka seems really like one of the nicest places to live, especially as a foreigner 😍 Had to chance to visit this year again and it was as beautiful as ever 💕 And I noticed so many more tourists this time 😅 Mostly from Korea I think?

[@Thejapanesedreams]

Fukuoka is a really nice town :D Nice video

[@SuperQuaqua1]

I was thinking about attending NILS in the future and wanted to learn more about Fukuoka. It's nice to hear more about this city. I don't really hear much about it compared to Kyoto or other places in Japan!

[@byo7834]

Fukuoka looks lovely to visit! My fiancee and I both would love Ohori Park I'm sure and miyufa-that place in the mountains! And it looks like you all had fun while exploring and visiting. :)

[@Langy.]

I love Fukuoka! 九州最高！

[@ShawnaSmoke]

Its so cool seeing you two together ♡

[@xcamillef94]

I m doing an academic exchange there in September.. can't waiiiit

[@Katie_Jo_21]

You are adorable abd pretty Micaela. Was so cool to see all the contrasting places around there. Thank you for the great videos.

[@Ciaela]

Thank you so much for the lovely comment! :))) I really appreciate it!

[@vp4744]

I remember one of your shots with that lone tree on the beach in Itoshima. Love that entire area. Haven't seen Kit at all. He should open (or close) all your videos.

[@Ciaela]

Haha Rachel kept throwing the ball for him while we were on the couch! He doesn’t show his face but there are times when she’s interacting with him subtly!

[@musashimarc7536]

cool yo see both of you in fukuoka seems to be such a nice city keep iy on videosugoiine Maaku

[@gaiadove]

A few guys followed me around at Canal City... the light show at night was very pretty though.

[@geddoe316]

Was half asleep when the title popped up....saw "will Rachel like fu....." So yeah, now I know how I think when I'm half conscious....great.

[@brokenredflag]

Yayyy colaborationnnnsss!!!! Loved it!!! Uuu a beach

[@JoachimderZweite]

Wonderful video!

[@SecretFiri]

I have to plan a trip to Fukuoka one day.

[@Karaispice]

博多生まれ育ちのナゴヤ人です。 ナゴヤに居ると日本中全方向に出掛け易いのは九州の人には分かりにくい利点かな。 博多ん者の自覚があるのに、味覚がナゴヤ人になってて、和食に限って味が合わなかったりするけど、いい意味でのルーズライフを楽しめるし福岡はお勧めですよ。 友達は増えるだろうなー

[@nabilashafieek2129]

Gurl she came down to ya for that damn reason Thank Jun!!!

[@lizzyr1502]

Ahh this was so good- I’m visiting Fukuoka in October and I want to go to all these places 💖💖💖

[@greyareaRK1]

Gorgeous parks and hosts.

[@joseemigdiosanchezurdaneta3644]

It came true! I hope you and Rachel are able to film together again soon. You might need to dye your hair red again haha!

[@BalmungAZ]

Great, now I want to move to Fukuoka...

[@LisaMichelle98]

I'll be living in Fukuoka for 5 months and now I'm even more excited :D

[@milicam6240]

Really liked this video! You guys looked so happy throughout this whole video! ^^ Seeing all those places made me miss Fukuoka, want to come back soon ^_^

[@Orochimaru9504]

The beatles please please me in the background at 2:03 Lol

[@airari24]

The only way I even knew about Fukuoka was through a well-loved song (in Spanish) called "Bachata en Fukuoka" by Juan Luis Guerra (a Dominican artist). Talk about global connections!

[@雀-t6c]

I’m going to fukuoka in about a month. Can’t wait. Also, that shirt is beautiful. FUK

[@Ciaela]

Every summer they make a new Fukuoka limited design! I hope the one this year is as cool as this one.

[@b.w.5677]

The two of you are so pretty and I would love to see more collaboration videos. It would be so awesome if Rachel and Jun moved to Fukuoka!!! Love you both!!!

[@Myarsenal69]

December 2018 update: Rachel did like Fukuoka.
