Tokyocooney's Japan forum

Hey I'm new Hello Everyone!

Anyways I'd love to see something along the lines of a soccer game or a baseball game (as I'll be in Japan for three weeks in March) so maybe I video on getting tickets or even being at the game would be awesome!

That's my vote!

Here is a simple one to do. Film the fish tank with kenji for ten minutes and post it on youtube. Call it something like interview with kenji. This way you can make an easy post plus you can calm down all of those fans who keep asking about your fish.

How about you stay in a Capsule hotel?

Its one of the top things I want to do when I go to Japan, I can't seem to find any good vids about it anywhere.

hello! that my first post here but i've whatched all your vids.

I've seen that you are an expert at finding good spot to have a coffee. What about making a Tokyo top five coffee spot. I like coffee as mutch as you (maybe more than you) and i'm going to japan in the beginning of april.

I definitely think a Kabukicho vid is in order. Maybe a little Golden Gai...a little Piss Alley...

My first post! I have been watching you videos for the last few months and I've fallen in love with them. You rock! I have always had an obsession for Japan.

Anyway, I would LOVE to see a Japanese theme park video! They are known to be VERY screwed up but insanely awesome at the same time!

I realize it's tricky to do more than the little bit you already showed in the mountain cabin piece, but something on onsen and sentou might be good. I really miss them, and maybe visitors would be quicker to try them if they knew the routine beforehand. Getting naked in a foreign language can be a little intimidating.

Maybe budou-gari, or whatever fruit you favor?

I'd love to see your take on Japanese TV, if you can work out how not to step on too many toes.

Hakone would probably make a good entry. There's spectacular scenery, ludicrous boats and black eggs. Don't forget the nasty police equipment on display at the old checkpoint.

I think there may be potential in the toilet scene as well. A quest for the best and worst in Tokyo?

Sanrio Puroland . . . Sanrio Puroland . . . CinnamonRoll still haunts my nightmares, but I'd love to see your presentation.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to whatever's next. Many thanks!

Tokyocooney and dancing storm trooper, the best duo ever. You should meet each other.

By the way, if you still check the forum thanks posting the videos, they are really great.

How about a visit to a Japanese grocery snack section for some snacks you wouldn't see elsewhere? A friend came back with something called bone bone fish, dried squid, and pickled squid. She assures me the dried squid is good toasted in the toaster oven and dipped in shoyu, but I will not find out until she has her Japanese food tasting party. She also assures me you'll find lots of unusual snacks to taste, and we all love to see the faces you make when trying unusual things! haha

Do you know anyone that teaches Japanese to Westerners coming to Japan to live? I think that could be an interesting interview. You could ask them in advance to think of a few of the funniest things that have happened in their classes.

What about some trips to manufacturing plant tours? I've read about tours of car plants and even a couple of the popular candy makers have tours. Maybe they give out samples?

I've heard several places about the food areas in basements of large department stores giving out samples. If this is true, could you perhaps visit a few and then talk about who's most generous, when they are most likely to give out snacks, and things like that?

I know manga and anime aren't really your thing but I was wondering if you had any thoughts on the possibility of someone coming to the Tokyo anime college such as do you think they'd even accept a foreigner? It sounds like a foreigner might have a very hard time making a career in drawing anime there. Do you know any you could interview on this, or just someone with experience as a gaijin working in a quintessentially Japanese profession?

Thanks again your vblogs are awesome!

With summer in full (and blazing) swing, why not take a trip to Shimoda? I took a trip with some friends in June and would love to see your take of the area. Or perhaps it would be a great place to go next year for the Black Ship Festival.

I got a kick out of the supermarket adventure. Made me wish WalMart would start carrying tamagodofu.

One of the big ¥100 stores might also be fun.

Does the Sony Building allow video? If so, that would be cool to see. That and/or the Miraikan in Odaiba, where Asimo lives.

Hello This will be my first post so woo!

I was wondering if when you had the time if you could show more of the countryside and perhaps some of the smaller villages? I'd like to know how much they differ from the city as far as food, accomodation and shopping go and to see how different life would be in general in a smaller community.

I'm also interested in what every day communication would be like.

Thank you

Dude, whatever works for you. You'll make it awesome automatically.

I think I already did the sony building in my video about Ginza. Its titled... "Expenisve shoes, cheap chicken."
