person i i do because we i i i reached out to um that person and said thank you i was waiting actually at um where was i kanai and i were waiting at um sushi zanmai in tsukiji and we passed one million um that was pretty cool on the old channel all right back to the new channel which is way way better okay are we playing the same song thank you susan for the letter i appreciate it the encouragement to our community is much appreciated now with without further ado let's get right to it [Music] it's made of oh i think i just damaged it i don't knock on it it seems to make a very weak alloy [Music] not to say that this is inferior in any way anyways shane is here congratulations we who is that that sounds like a canadian thing td str thank you 100 000. congrats woohoo next stop 1 million you got that right next stop is actually 112 000 but for milestones that is the one kirk bay thank you and is it ranjit yes uncle ranjeet is in the house thank you um i like what i did with this first you can see me that's what my eyes look like it's just basically a smartphone it's kind of actually that that makes a pretty good thumbnail right there but it says it's presented to only in japan parentheses john dot parentheses for passing 100 000 subscribers youtube i it's a pretty award right it's getting every year it gets thinner like the uh like the macbook pro i could carry this with me [Music] so this award is for this channel right here and i think most of you who are subscribed to only in japan go are probably subscribed to this channel too and i gotta say thank you so much for that because um when i left the old channel um out of frustration and sadness and great pain really i was in pain i wasn't sleeping i didn't know what the future held now i do success is what the future holds and if i can do it you can do it too oh say that for the speech okay all right let's compare this 100 000 with the only in japan go 100 000 are they exactly the same let's hold them up and see yes they are they're pretty much the same except this one has a ding in it because i don't they get they get kind of beat up real quickly so it's best to put them on the wall and and let them stay there um now we're going to compare the new award to the 1 million award and see if there's any difference we're going to let okp do it he'll talk to you from now on and just just before you know that you know there's not a problem he doesn't say much so there might not be any talking at all um azeroth writes in here um zanel i'm glad i'm glad i'm still a part of your channel you will always be a part of this channel katayama's in the house good job thank you hi okapi writes in the chomp hi okapi writes in hardy okapi should have his own channel now you can see the size of the gold award is is maybe double that okay it could be i'm gonna put you in the stable over here now if we turn it to the side you can see here um this has already been dinged up when i had to travel with the award to the youtube fan fest i got kind of damaged because kanai and i went to europe right away and i don't know how it got damaged in my bag but it got damaged because i had to transport the youtube thing but it was worth it and actually it's starting to lose the uh p here it also lost some of the writing but it's all good i know what it mean what it says here the thickness of the awards also is very is very um important to point out it's it's literally half the size um in everything and i guess if you look at it from the top the gold and the silver yeah they're different in sizes as well but it has the same meaning to me this is an amazing start less than a year i put this back up near now the past meets the present which means the future very nice it's good i feel like this is the olympics gold silver bronze what is that in the background right here oh look this is one of the mascots for um for mount takasaki in oita prefecture this is for the monkey park that's the mascot leo likes the mascot from monkey park all right stay up stay up stay afloat here you get to the side yeah so this is a great bronze silver gold and all of it is only in japan and we're going to add more to that hardware over time absolutely the next milestone will probably be i don't know that's a good question jennifer french because which one is going to hit a million first only in japan go or the um only in japan john dob channel because i'm not sure i'm not sure it's gonna be battle down to the end only in japan go had a head start but live content is a acquired flavor and the main channel episodes are very very emotional connecting with people so it's gonna be it's gonna be a battle but i think both of them might get there at the same time i don't know but we're gonna try really hard to get there um john van van john thank you jvd there you go jvd hi john uh hey hi john congrats on 100 000 subs and what three million views thank you and one quarter one third of those views came from one video the wagyu video and one six of them came from the earthquake video but there's only 11 videos on the on the only in japan main channel which is crazy right so the videos they average 300 000 views per video that's pretty good average for a channel i think i'm on the right course i think i'm on the right course james boardman's in the house thank you james and tony p always a pleasure to have um toby the the human version of the crow with us so that's a good it's a very good award so it's time for a speech now you think i would already gave the speech of course i have not done that i'm nervous about this i don't actually have any speeches planned here don't have any speeches planned but i'll give my best um in my living room we're we're sort of um so this is the channel that it's for just so you know it's not this channel but it's the only in japan uh channel with now 100 000 subscribers 111 i believe yeah so i want to grab this award here and okapi must be here to witness because that's what he does he's a witness to a lot of things all right when i'm angry he witnesses it when i'm when i'm crying to myself to sleep which is never he does not witness that but um this award goes to our community i think oh hold on hold on i got music for this okay i sometimes the music doesn't work out with the mood it's true all right in life in everyone's life but in particular my life things haven't gone the way that i wanted it to really i never expected to be here in this moment in time doing something different than i was two years ago a new start but the results are the same success i attribute this great success to my community my parents to my friends to all of you and to the music that they allow me to use inside the editing of these stories which brings emotional connection thank you royalty free music but through it all i find that i haven't changed much i remain the same child inside a grown man's body as i did the day i started producing youtube videos youtube you know what all right actually with music it's very if i did that without the music it would sound very bad so now i can just really talk but it's good to have the music i don't know yeah so i just thank thank you music thank you everybody for for supporting the new channel um like it's been it has it really has been a hard ride i'm not going to reiterate all the stuff i said in the update about four days ago on the new channel i explained um the direction of the channel and where it's going this came the day after i uploaded that video which is pretty amazing um so this is all coming together right now i want to say thank you to um astri asiraf oh okay hi john you're a great host and i've never been never get bored watching your videos just know that you'll have my support you deserve this thank you you're always going to be part of the community in fact you're everybody is going to be part of the community and i'm just so thankful that you're here um so this channel only in japan go i started it when i was hitchhiking japan the reason was be for two reasons why i started this channel number one when i was hitchhiking i didn't want to be alone out there so i wanted to be able to stay connected and live streaming meant that i would never be alone i'll always be connected to you i'll be connected to somebody and i feel your presence on the other side of this smartphone i really really do i think that it's a connection not not every creator can can make a connection to an inanimate object but i can i i have friends that are not real but they are to me they mean something to me okay and that's important and you mean something to me too i'm not just saying that to a smartphone i'm saying it to you that's on the other side because every time i see a chat go by i feel that you're there and you are always with me in japan as long as i'm live here and when i'm not either because you're in my thoughts you really are um this channel was also a way for me to tell stories that i couldn't tell on the edited on the edited channel because it takes such a long amount of time to make one episode of these videos i put a lot of love even in the thumbnails it takes a great deal of time to make the thumbnails and everything is still made by yours truly this live streaming channel filled the blank on themes and topics that i would not cover on this that i could on only in japan go and i expect over the years i'm probably gonna probably in june i'm gonna get back to the or as soon as the state of emergency is over it's pretty tough to film anything in japan i'm going to get back to trying to get to location shoots and places outside of tokyo it's just been really challenging but that's the purpose of this channel to fill in the blanks on this main channel and to connect with you in a way that i couldn't any other time and live streaming has brought me so close to you all without this second channel i don't know where i would be this main channel now that the award is for is is where my heart lies okay don't doubt don't don't down all right my heart lies in in telling these kinds of stories here that are listed on this channel um the top three videos this is 11 episodes on the only japan new channel 1.1 million subscribers uh 1.1 million views 520 000 views 350 000 views 170 000 views like this is a testament of our community this is more than the subscriber base right almost all of these videos have gotten or exceeded the subscriber base and i'm so proud of this work that i've been doing and it's where my heart lies you know to be able to tell a good story i i i i was pretty confident and again i'm not gonna rehash the the update from a couple of days ago which i am right now going to do but like i i really love telling a story and and um i was pretty confident that i could do it anywhere it didn't matter what the channel was uh will you start a channel with kanai chicago africa all right come on just everybody wait here i'm going to talk to chicago africa listen kanai said that she was thinking of doing something like a channel all right she might be doing it with leo too i'm not sure but she can see herself doing something with leo so i don't know all right that's a good question all right thank you for asking that uh chicago african and sorry everybody else um i just had to talk with my friend chicago african from chicago um yeah this was uh yeah i i can tell a story it doesn't matter how many subscribers as you see with the number of views that the videos get it doesn't matter if it's on a million subscriber channel or if it's on a channel with one subscriber and i i want to tell i want to tell the new creators out there that are wondering if they can do it too yes you can you too can start you too can start a channel from claudio thank you you could you could start a channel um in 2021 and and you can get to 100 000 subscribers you can get to a million subscribers it doesn't matter air buggy was written today by the way aaron okay thank you we i i put a picture on the discord of airbug aaron buggy um you can get a hundred thousand subscribers in a million subscriber even today uh i have so much confidence that anybody can do it that i had to restart and i was confident that i'd be able to do it too the reason why is because i cut you after you do it for a while you kind of figure out the formula you kind of understand it's about click through rate getting people to click the video all right you have to have a good thumbnail and a good title and that means you have to produce content that people want to watch not just content that interests you but content that you think is going to interest your core audience and the people around it and that's how you bring people keep bringing people into your um into your channel that's not easy to do it's not easy to do it takes a lot of experience um takes a lot of practice ufo bob's here congrats on reaching 100 000 subscribers ufo bob you're in here buddy you're in here your determination and perseverance to reboot is an inspiration to many thanks for providing such amazing content cheryl mp you know we are here for you you are in here too cheryl and each and every one of you watching except for those that aren't subscribed to the new channel are inside of this do you see this you're in here so i i'm going to i'm going to to hug this i won't sleep with it because we i don't we don't actually know each other that well but i will put this on my wall all right which is going to be great the chomp congrats again thank you the chomp um so for those that and and i i do encourage everybody youtube's not for everybody but i do encourage you to think about it and um if you do work hard at it you you can get to where you want to what your goals are on youtube some people's goals are not to get to 100 000 subscribers um hannah my assistant she doesn't care about subs well she cares about the people who subscribe but she doesn't care about milestones like this she said she just likes it as a creative outlet and i respect that too for me i want the words i want i want to feel like i'm building a community and i want to feel like i'm um that the videos are making an impact not just to the subscribers but to the world right and i think we're doing it um but i believe i've kind of figured out how youtube works a little bit up from experience from the start and um that's kind of been a compass and led me um in the way that i produce the videos you have to i all right all right all right it's a live stream so i don't have to like end in 10 minutes right peso what's your next goal speech speech kim i actually gave a speech but it was with music and it was it kind of sucked um making a youtube video is very much like a chef cooking a meal and there's different kinds of chefs there's there's fast food chefs and then there are chefs that put together meals that um are very expensive then there are chefs who like um the pizza chef dad in nagoya he can make a lot of pizza he sells them for five dollars he won the best pizza award in the world in nape in napoli but he sells his pizza for like five dollars and he makes a lot of them and they're so good and he puts love into every single pizza he makes that guy is amazing i can't make pizza as that's down in nagoya by the way it's a real place um you have to try it by the way i can't make pizzas as fast as him but i make a very very good episode slowly and i put so much love into it i i watched that video that's on the new channel now about 150 times going over it and over it and over it i still miss stuff it's not perfect but i go over it i check the audio levels i check what kind of music i should put in there i check the transitions i check um i try to match the music so it goes and it ends on the right place i want to try to make you feel emotionally invested and connected to each and every moment of the video and it's not easy to do and i don't always succeed but i think you appreciate the effort and i think you want to see what comes next and that's why you subscribe but it's not just about getting subscribers it's about keeping subscribers so you need to keep content coming and you need to um you know be a part of the community yourself and um i know we're going to get to a million subscribers it's just it's just a matter of time not if but when and you have to believe and if you're a new creator you have to believe that too it's not if it's when right um today i met um tokyo sam who has been a youtuber for as long as i know i've known him he was he was um um he's not to everybody's tastes but he is a good guy he's an honest guy he said many bad words today that defiled my ears but he is who he is and i respect it very much you have to do that and um you know he he said he made an episode about me and i'm looking forward to that and i i think he's he's going to be fair and honest in his own way and i think that that's good but he's working very very hard on his channel and um like i he has i think what 40 or 50 000 subscribers and i'd love to see him get to 100 000 subscribers and he has to figure out every youtube creator has to figure out how do you do that how what what is making your content uh work and not work and and how do you change it to suit your audience and and grow it and um we had a really incredible time today i actually i i knew i was going to have fun but i actually would i'm looking forward to catching up with him again he's been a youtuber since 2000 and and since it started with my friend kevin cooney from tokyo kuni and uh a lot of people who started youtube a long time ago these are people that were reasons and eric served six as well these are people that have been on youtube for longer than all the other most of the youtubers you probably watched today they were here in 2006. so i give them credit for keeping up uh youtube for this long it is not easy all right it is not easy to be a youtuber for six for 14 years he's been a youtuber for 14. eric surfsix has been a youtuber for 14 years right um rob c i took you sam not watched him don't know him but on your word subscribed wow thank you um just just so you know tokyo sam's content is not to everybody's taste um he takes people down a peg sometimes but he also can can build them up but quite often in his criticism there's there's i don't he's just honest about how he feels so that can be a good thing and i do like seeing him ride the motorcycle through the city that's kind of nice but he's been doing this for a very long time and when he ranked the youtubers thankfully i made it to the a a to the a plus ranking i believe so like that's cool but all right i treat people all the same i don't it doesn't matter if you're a star or if you know you you have very low self-esteem and you don't like yourself at all i'll treat you the same way i try very hard to do that and um you know it doesn't matter how many subscribers a person has i i look at everybody the same way and you know i that's a reason why i i have a lot of friends here and i'm very very happy um but it's it's gosh i i found that the more the more that the channel succeeded um i don't know people started to see me differently all right this reminds me of rocky iv where sylvester stallone is in russia and he said you know when i came in here yous all hated me and but after the fight i've seen the ways use use thought about me and i changed on the ways i thought thought about use it's a very philadelphia thing to add an ass at the back at the end of use to use so like over the course of the time a youtuber the way people saw me changed and um i haven't changed at all so it's kind of cool um just to be able to talk normally to people um but when people get i don't know excited i kind of yeah it's kind of cool i don't know um i don't want to ramble too much i do like rocky i rewatched it to psych myself up um to get get ready for the the second season of only in japan i wish i got even 10 000 subs i think you can get there um we all have goals and we all just have to work towards them and and figure out youtube is interesting they give you all the tools that you need to do that actually and if you look at the analytics and you check your click through rate and your watch time if people are clicking on your thumbnail and your and your title and you're you're providing a very interesting topic and if they're watching until the end of your video youtube's algorithm is going to continue to suggest that video it doesn't matter what you look like it doesn't matter if your content's bad if if the majority of people like your content and watch it to the end you're going to do well in youtube it doesn't matter if you start today or tomorrow the the algorithm is continuously um testing it those they'll suggest it to 250 people if those people have like a 10 click-through rate and watch your video at the end they suggested to 2 500 people if they have a good rate they suggest it to 25 000. then then 2.5 million so that's how it works so what even though i had like a thousand subscribers to start this channel the first video i made got a hundred thousand subscribers pretty quickly because it did that it gave it to a test pool of a hundred then a thousand then ten thousand then a hundred thousand and then it sees where the limit is and then it starts to taper down so once you can figure that out then it's pretty easy to to try to grow a youtube channel a little bit or you can do it with more confidence but the all your answers are in the data data all right congrats you definitely deserve it i don't i i it's hard to say if i deserve it or not i don't know i like i know a lot of people who are working hard that have that don't haven't gotten anything at all but it feels good even though i have other awards like this this one feels very special because you um you all know where this came from right as i this is the you see inside the award that's leo's diaper box you all know where this word came from a box of tissues and a diaper box no this award i'll do it from this side this award comes from you and that's you in the camera right now all right if it wasn't for a community um on this only japan go channel i probably would not have been to 100 000 subscribers in under a year like this but it still was hard because the new videos were not suggested to everybody it's a new channel you have to earn it and that's that's always going to be that's always going to be hard work doesn't matter if if you're a new use youtube's uh you new youtuber or not you really have to work hard at your craft hello me raymond i just looked at at tokyo sam's homepage still in shock [Laughter] as i said he's a he's a unique a unique character um that's been doing youtube sin for 14 years and uh yeah pat self on back i don't like to do that um i'm not somebody who's gonna get comfortable with with this award um i'm working towards something bigger i'm not even working for the gold anymore you know what i'm working for i'm working for diamond all right yeah i'm working for 50 100 million no wait i think there's a 50 million award i'm working for the diamond award i'm skipping the gold all right go for you know what if you say oh i want to go to the moon why stop there go to this go to mars go to the sun keep going all right there is no limit the only limit is in your mind all right i see that the the viewers are starting to go away from the ranting elvis cameron we love you john kanai and rio you're part of our family we will always support you we will support you from hey silvano and lee family how you doing thanks guys ufo bob is so right diamonds are forever that's one of my favorite 1970s movies too it's james bond movie kind of creepy those two characters the bad guys with the perfume but um had some unique dimensions to that movie i think roger moore had didn't continue i forget why why roger moore stepped away and uh oh no no that was oh diamonds are forever that was when um um on your honor majesty's secret service was made in 1969 that was my favorite james bond movie by the way on her majesty's secret service telly savalas james bond falls in love and gets married tragic ending it showed him as a human instead of a super spy i like that one blood diamonds are for hey do not suggest blood diamonds all right we've seen that movie dicaprio doesn't make it out of the end it's very sad how dare you bring that up um who is in the number one spot since simon and martina left samartina weren't weren't in the number one spot in terms of subscribers in japan there's japanese youtubers with like 10 million subscribers now in fact the guy who passed that award to me has was the number one youtuber in japan for a while which is pretty cool um in terms of foreign youtubers i don't think subscriber count matters of course i don't um but i you know there's a lot of really good creators out there i don't think that there's any one one top person anymore there's a lot of youtube creators at the top that don't produce content regularly anymore um i don't know i can say this all right i'm most impressed with um michael cesano's here hey congratulations john so deserving of this and so much more for all that you do can't wait to see the million subscribers award i know mark this day because we're going to have this one before you know it i'm going to work really really hard to try to get through over the next year who knows when but it might take it's going to take more than a year maybe but i'm going to try my best to find those topics and and get those videos to break out i am the most impressed with um my friend paulo okay um i remember talking with him at omotesando station and i saw so much potential in his channel and like what he was doing and when he said let's meet up i said absolutely and he had a good idea and i didn't collaborate with him um because i don't think he needed me for that it didn't seem like i needed to be in that that episode so um but i i talked to him and i told him a couple of things about youtube and the supernova and like some of these little unique features inside of youtube that i learned from going to youtube creator summits and stuff like that and he is he has not stopped working his butt off since since that day and he was working his butt off before that day too um but his rise is from hard work and ingenuity and coming up with themes that people really want to watch and just hustling you know like being and i i mean not like it's a hustler type of thing but i guess like just getting there and doing it and and put your head down and do the work um i respect i respect his work ethic very very much and he deserves to be in that top spot you know i think he's got um he get he's got over 2 million subscribers now which is just incredible and i i can't see him not stopping i see him getting a 10 million subscribers really soon and i'll be so proud of him if he does that um because we both will know where we we all know where we all start every single youtube creator starts with one subscriber their mom all right every subscriber starts with a mom all right and then sky's the limit with that um takai writes in here john you've given us nothing but laughter and smiles as you educate and entertain us about japan you deserve all the success in the world thank you that almost deserves me going in there and getting a beer out of old frosty how about chris broad chris is extremely talented i have nothing bad to say about him just all really positive stuff he works hard he's upped his game um i think that he deserves that and probably a heck of a lot more for the hard work he puts in into his channel um yeah i i think paulo is if i have to compare that to i think pella is pretty good at finding topics that bring in a wider range of people that are curious about life in japan um and that would explain to me um how quickly he's grown he just picks topics that resonate with a broader audience um but like if and like when i started in 2013 we started about the same time um chris and i and i think we saw each other's works and respected what we did um we were we had the same amount of subscribers i i mean there was a moment where it was like this okay with subscriber count like it was it was literally like a back and forth back and forth back and forth until north korea launched a missile over japan and then and he happened to be there and he got a really amazing episode out of it which is like the couldn't be the timing was so perfect on that and it was a unique episode and then he spiked up and and well deserved too um big big congratulations on all of his success passing two million subscribers um you know 17 years younger than me so we're like in different generations i could be his father but in in maturity i'm more like a seven year old and um i don't know maybe he's you know more like a 22 year old so it's different yeah there's some great i i don't watch a lot of youtube to be honest with you i watch maybe the sports stuff and the news and that's about it one of the reasons why is because i don't want my ideas to come from somebody else i kind of want to find my own but i did watch um paulo's bento episode because it was related somewhat to my my um tokyo train episode and it was really well done and i i can see his ability to tell a story he just keeps getting better and better matt hayashi congrats john you should recognize you should be recognized for your hard work thank you chicago african our secret is safe with our secret is safe right listening to you right now makes me want to buy a video camera in a month since my birthday is coming up i now want to make start making videos um yes sony's just releasing like a new aps-c uh sensor camera that's gonna be really great you might want to you might want to wait off for a month i think announcements come in a few days the camera looks pretty cool too for vlogging aps-c is a bigger sensor which is good in low-light so it should be a pretty nice camera i think it's under a thousand dollars too which is pretty good for a camera um uh the sony a1 is just over there i use that a lot for photos but the 8k has been incredible um see here yeah pablo a case study in student passing the master in audience this is this garlic bread abs i i was absolutely not a teacher of his he did this all on his own um and i was applauding him um with sometimes tough love but always a big heart and like i i don't see a stop to him he's going to keep getting bigger and bigger and better and better and that's just really great um you have to respect the look work ethic you can see it in the creators you support you support creators because they have really strong work ethics sometimes they have an off month they have i had a pretty tough month this month but you can tell from the way people work chris does short films and not as many uploads um yeah i kind of do that too i make shorter um i make like 15 minute episodes but i've been doing it just once a month now i'm going to be doing it twice a month so i think i'm going to try to get them up to um um even longer but i'm not a filmmaker all right kel funjuma i'm not i'm not a like a director i do a lot of directing actually i did directing for tv and stuff like that there's a lot of stuff you don't know maybe but i'm i'm i'm just i when people ask me what i am youtube creator baby i'm proud of it i create for my i create for youtube whenever i make content i think specifically youtube i don't think about any other platform except for youtube i love it i love the fact that they make these awards i've i've never seen instagram give awards to anybody youtube um i don't know a lot of people a lot of people will come some people will complain about youtube but look at this the ceo writes a letter and sends it to you well it might be i mean it's not really her signature but they really do care and when i re when you get up to a certain level they support you and i love the fact that you know people from youtube will contact me will ask me how i'm doing um when i had a tough month somebody youtube asked me if everything was okay i love that about the youtube staff you don't get that until you get to a certain level but um i think when you get to i don't know like i think it's like 10 000 subscribers you can use youtube spaces around the world just registered to them you have access to so many more tools than any other platform so i'm a proud youtube creator i love this platform it lets me connect with so many people yeah i complain about the app and mobile live streaming and how it stinks sometimes often why we should have more hd size videos and stuff like that okay but like you know i love it so that's it uh congrats john hey it's gil congrats john from forging your own path succeeding and gaining this status so quickly hey i hope you're doing well gil it's nice to hear from you yeah the app is a different story the chomp you got that right it's completely different things can go wrong fast so i hear the street clears this is only supposed to be a 10 minute episode i just want to say tour twitter porque was here nothing beats the energy spontaneity and connection of your live streams i'm sorry if i missed anything while i was ranting um much apologies um i i don't i've been thinking about the direction of the channel i gave an update if you're joining me right now please do check out the new video this is i'm starting to wrap it up uh peso he's probably asleep by the way it's like pretty late in australia uh here this is the new episode right there it is um you will like this episode the uh gourmet train food episode uh especially if you've been watching the live streams because these live streams will connect the dots to this episode right here it's all about here and peter is hilarious in this episode he's so funny he doesn't call me a db or a douchebag i cut that part out he said that in the live stream but it's pretty funny and we had we had some really fun back and forth um so leave me a comment in there if you if you do check it out i'd like to hear from you we only have 18 000 views in one day i used to get 100 000 views in a day but um there is the 4k symbol right next to it you see that that's pretty significant yeah uh warren writes in here uh chris's videos are meant for laugh not for education i think there's some education in there i don't i don't 100 agree with that um i haven't seen a lot of his stuff but i think that there's some education in there i think you can take you can learn something from chris's videos too and i think that that's great um i i want to make sure something sticks that's what you remember i try to to put ekiben on the screen and make sure you leave with some japanese words or something useful but i'm pretty sure chris chris does that too but yeah you can get a good laugh out of it and that's that's really important i want to see people having fun in japan right so i can't i think the world is a way way better place with chris broad in it and with pablo paulo somebody else somebody wrote pablo it's it's paulo for paulo in in the world and i'm happy that those two guys have some massive success um and uh you know one day once i was at that level and greg my friend greg lyfron from greg who just finished a massive documentary that he's been putting his heart and soul in and i've been um listening to him um oh by the way i gotta upload some drone footage to help him out darn i did it tonight um but he he's his channel um has had some massive success too and my you know they're um i don't know chris too well but i know apollo and greg very well and uh i'm just it's so it makes me feel really good to see my friends succeed i would like to see eric surf six now get to a million i want to see eric surf six get to one million subscribers he he he's been working his butt off he deserves if anybody deserves it's him all right so i'd like to see my friend succeed that's a picture of the wall that's the wall i'm putting the award on click the thumbs up button if you like if you like these milestone award unboxings so then i will do another one when i get a million subscribers next week um finally like this is going way too long um thanks everybody so much for making this um this 2021 has been hard because in japan we can't do the same kind of stuff that we want to do uh but i haven't let a lot of live streams this this month in may because not just because of the state of emergency but because um uh we have somebody in the family who's been really suffering um pretty badly and that person is starting to get better and it's it's a lot more hopeful than now than it was a month ago and i'm starting to change too and feel more hopeful than i was a month ago so thanks for hanging in there this last month has been pretty tough uh on us um but we're doing we're doing well and for those of you who have been keeping in touch uh through patreon and the discord server thank you so much for reaching out and um everything's gonna get better and i'm hoping um as soon as june hits here in 36 hours 48 hours we get back i can get back on my horse and just get out there and put my head down and do the same kind of content creation family comes first everybody i want you to know that your family comes first my family comes first this content youtube is a marathon it's not a sprint i know this this comes from a long time of creating content i've been making videos about japan since 2003. family comes first if you have a strong family and everything's going well and you're healthy you will make a lot more videos than trying to fight through something that is hurting you emotionally so sometimes take a break and stop and if you're a creator too you can get two million but don't do it at the risk of hurting your family by overworking and ignoring them and don't do it at the risk of hurting yourself because sometimes you can get so focused on on achieving a goal you stop like ferris bueller said sometimes you have to stop and look around and enjoy he didn't say it exactly like that but it's in the first like 10 minutes of the video sometimes you have to stop and look around right keep it real that's some people say that we'll be here thank you rob c and you have been here it impacts everybody yeah italian bombshell's here hey hey mandy hope you're watching on the other side precious this from a man who has really run a marathon that's true covert bebop that is true three hours and 12 minutes um marathon is very much it seriously is the same as youtube yeah i have the same approach um i get if if you pace yourself you can finish the marathon and not be tired uh after i ran the first marathon i went so fast i ran out of steam at 21 kilometers halfway that was like 23 kilometers and the last um 40 uh the last the last it's 40 42.195 so the last like 40 um 20 kilometers was so painful because i had nothing left in the tank because going too fast i paced myself the next time and i didn't i didn't hit the wall in the marathon until 35 kilometers so i learned my lessons i learned to pace myself i knew when to take breaks when to when you know how to run the race better and how to train for it the third time i ran a marathon i did the whole thing and wasn't tired at all i got to the finish line and i danced and i felt so energized and so psyched because i learned how to run the marathon and i realized that a race is a lot longer than the one kilometer or two kilometers it's 42 kilometers you have to survive the whole thing i'm in this for the long haul i'm taking this a marathon i want a healthy family and i want a healthy mind right here and i will have healthy content for 20 years look you're gonna have to tear me away from this job over the course of of of a long time but i'll always be making these stories for you why is your average time what is your average time for marathon um so my best time is three hours and 12 minutes the first marathon i ran was three hours and 29 minutes so i improved by 17 minutes or so but those 17 minutes were huge even though i hit the wall at 21 kilometers i was still fighting my butt off and i didn't stop because once you stop at a marathon this is very important during this last month i never really stopped but if you stop at a marathon your muscles tighten up and you can never get back going again again you have to fight through pain so even though this has been a tough month i still uploaded i still did live streams i still stayed connected with my audience i still um finished that kickstarter video i still was able that that was one hour and 15 minutes long like a long like it's like a one hour and fifty minute long only in japan episode it's pretty cool for the kickstarter backers uh i was able to to um to uh edit this train video as well so i mean i could still work and stuff but i i really cut back on it just because my focus was somewhere else and if and when my mind is clear of of that i'll be able to to go full speed ahead again but i'm so proud of this of this award here the first of many hi john is pvg doing what is doing his channel i hope he gets his channel and see what he's up to uh christopher he's doing something called serial talker s-e-r-i-a-l-t-a-l-k-e-r on youtube it's a podcast now and he's just talking he i think it was really he's a very busy man and it's very hard for him to do edited videos so um peter just went back to narration work the stories he tells you can see his strong point is just talking although he's a damn good editor and peter is is um 50 000 views away from a 1 million view video on his peter von gom channel so he can produce content all right he's a talented man um but the serial talker i'm a fan too so i listen i listen to his uh his show as well pbg went back to his voice cubicle it's more like i it is it is kind of like a cubicle but he has the most amazing um house in the middle of it is that voice studio and uh it's very nice where can i watch the kickstarter video um psy it is not available right now but i'm making a shorter version of it to upload to the main channel because i think i want to use it to um promote to promote the next fireworks project so you'll get a chance to see it um so you have to have supported um but that was hard work thanks ufo bob for sharing that i'm going to sleep in like 30 minutes uh when's the x fireworks project uh i introduced it in the update a couple of days ago on the main channel but i think uh we're talking right now with the the fireworks association to be honest with you it was pretty exhausting because it was hard to just with this email and the pandemic and the mail stopped and to finish that project up was a really big challenge and the video too was was hard for me to do with all the other stuff happening so i believe this summer a lot of the fireworks festivals are gonna be canceled we have a state of emergency right i don't know if they're gonna get the vaccine out enough to have summer summer festivals in japan so if they cancel that again they're going to really be hurting more so than last year and i feel bad about that so i want to see if if there's enough people that are interested in it we'll do it again and see if we can raise enough money um the basic most basic fireworks is like like like um thirty thousand dollars i think required and we had we had close to sixty thousand so we did two fireworks shows um which is pretty awesome we could split it up a little bit but i want to do something even bigger if we can so we'll we'll try our best yeah probably the summer you're gonna probably start hearing information about it in june next month and we're probably going to give it more time to try to raise more money too i think we did it in five weeks or something five or six weeks i think i think a month is a pretty good amount of time but two months would be better and we want to try to get businesses involved so that'll help to raise the total money a little bit higher so if we get some businesses involved that might be the best way to do it kanai's doing good she's asleep you should expect a fully autonomous nation can't wait to get back to japan and support the local communities i need to buy 200 pounds worth of 7-eleven chicken rob find an old lady who makes even better karage because 7-eleven is not really local it's like a bunch of guys in business suits somewhere but you are supporting local jobs every now and then i practice peter's od you do not do you i want to hear that you're gonna have to send that to me i reckon you could take his position soon i want to hear it send it to me on the discord server you can do that uh we'll give my support next time john it's okay psy i wasn't able to support last year but this year my income has been substantially higher so i can definitely support next time thank you charles that's good that's very good how about working with other youtubers for fireworks that's also a pretty good idea too um filippo thank you that's actually pretty good idea too uh we'll see if we can get other communities involved and see if we can raise the numbers even more um i didn't that here's the thing okay guys and i want you to understand this of one of the reasons why i didn't involve anybody else is because i didn't i didn't get any money from this and i can't pay anybody for this do you understand like everything i did it and i made nothing from it which is really hard sometimes you can't do things just for money of course i want money i need money to survive this this wine didn't just grow in this glass but um sometimes you have to do things for from the heart and i think that that's what that project was and it just took a little bit longer than i expected but it's hard to it's hard to raise money on kickstarter with somebody else and say sorry none of that is yours not everybody thinks like me not everybody feels the same way so i don't think it's something that every anybody can do i don't know um this 60 000 of it maybe a few hundred came our way for a car rental a hotel a couple of meals um which was budgeted as costs for us we need a youtube fireworks song that'd be pretty cool if we can get somebody to look if there's a songwriter out there i would use this as a song for the fireworks i think that'd be pretty cool this is kool-aid it's orchard grape kool-aid from where is this one i think it's from um oregon i've been drinking oregon wines i'm a little tired yeah hana is a songwriter hannah would be good but her her music is very calm and relaxing i want some more like you know heavy metal type of stuff it's just me something with something with with some you know uh you know what i mean i've been playing um you know some heavier music for leo and i think he's gonna be a head banger i got a feeling he's gonna be a mosh pit type of guy babymetal pretty good leo's got a pretty good personality leo slept for 10 hours last night he's two and a half months i i was worried i said how can the baby sleep that long he probably went peepee a few times it doesn't make sense but he slept for 10 hours it's pretty crazy um he puts himself to sleep too he's so boring he puts himself to sleep i'll send you some decent red thank you yeah this is oregon's not too bad i got it at costco costco has good leo is a cannibal corpse fan in the making could be uh john into metal did you buy the gazette new album i have not i'm more into the classic metal um you know metallica def leppard's not really metal but i was a big def leopard fan um yeah so it's all good like the stuff from the 80s i grew up in the 80s i haven't really listened to new music to be honest with you i don't really listen to new stuff i don't know who i don't get cultural references all right i don't understand a lot of your cultural references even though i am a ride the lightning was awesome album man oh anthrax right was pretty cool yeah it's a lot of good a lot of good um songs from the 80s there just the lyrics everything was pretty original but uh yeah i don't i don't know yeah i forget what i was talking about music today i don't connect with uh the cultural words i don't don't know what what it was i said sometimes i'll insult people and not even know it and um that's really tough yeah i don't want to insult anybody i though there's one word called um dare i say it um raw dog to me this this is i can't explain my moderators get angry at me but like it doesn't have the same meaning to me as it does for you all right yeah i seriously i think it means to me that that means rebel all right think about it raw dog it is a ah it's a hot dog with no condiments you're doing it your own way all right you just you are rebel you didn't want to put anything on that hot dog or it's a dog that dog is raw man he doesn't mess with he's a rebel to me that's what it means so you totally like so when i say it you have to know you have to put it in context of who's saying it all right i can understand that you're right i wasn't in the u.s when a lot of these words were about okay like this that dab word i didn't know what that was nobody walks around town dabbing so people going hey you should dab i said i don't even know what that is it took me like two years after dabbing was over i figured it out and then it was over it's not cool anymore guns and roses and ozzy yeah man yeah i better stop here i'm getting in trouble no one dabs anymore i i dab cause i'm two years too late pro tip don't dab period that's awesome i like these pro tips please in the future just remember who you're who you're talking to if i say something that offends you raw dog that's actually pretty good that i am a rebel and i do have a cause 1 million but really the cultural references if i i i never mean to insult anybody if it comes out wrong just remember who it's coming from a man who's been trapped in japan for 23 years on his own accord all right dabbing is for the squares really i don't know i thought it was still good all right i just wanted to say thanks to everybody i went a little bit longer just because i was excited uh i'm i'm you know here alone in the middle of the night um 50 questions leave them in this in the comments below as i always say that thanks again for making this possible um one of many 100 000 subscribers it's a big deal uh thanks so much for the congratulations matt i just saw that there um let's absorb it it's real and um it's going on the wall and uh yeah this is pretty cool so i'll see you in the next video probably tomorrow aiming connie you got that right 1 million not too far away 900 000 to go that sounds like a lot but i've been there before i'll be
