This is my video journal from my February/March trip to Japan in 2023.
I edited all my footage down to approx 3 hours 30 minutes for you to click off 10 minutes in. This is the same length as Killers of the Flower Moon. So, Mr. Scorsese watch out!

A little work um and then yeah just going to do some writing got to work on this pitch deck presentation thing oh I got to go buy a hard drive and I think I can do that at donkey hot um yeah so let’s go to donkey hot first if it’s on
The way and I’ll get a hard drive so I can transfer footage from this camera to a hard drive because I don’t have space on the SD I fill them up so fast with this 4K footage on this camera [Applause] it’s like a 30 minute walk maybe like 10 minutes to donkey
So not crazy got my pop on good to go let’s go hey donkey I need to find a hard drive let’s find it I wonder if they have one here actually this might be like a smaller one the big one might be down the street no of course they have it here floor
Four of course there’s eight floors here it’s donkey hot they should have hard drives here I found the SDS I got this hard drive for like $30 so let’s hope this works this perfectly sums up Japan we got American wannabe we got a Mustang hot dog
Shop and then we have a big fraking octopus nian a Yokoso um I think I bought a hard drive that doesn’t work it might only be for PS4 so we’ll see but I’m going to go to a cafe and we’ll try it out and hopefully I have a hard drive that works
So I can store this camera footage so this area near do tomori is basically all like all American like thrifting and vintage it’s just like Japan’s take on America which is pretty great um actually there’s a lot of good stuff honestly the American Vintage thrift stores I don’t know why I do America
Like that um are better here than in America I think there was just a whole street of them like 10 stores and they’re all doing American Vintage Thrift secondhand clothing and they’re sick so anyways I’m going to try to find this Cafe me and Dakota looked at each other and just laughed so
Hard I’ve been filming everything um from the beginning of this trip yeah I’m trying to make a after 2 months I’m going to edit one video though hey guys I’m just going to my production meeting right now it’s very I’m very yeah there’s no Wi-Fi at the other cafes I’m Here wow that is the ad binder wow it is literally an ad Binder it worked yes my hard drive works I got home last night and I’m sick I had a fever why I just slept for like 14 hours and I’ve had the craziest fever I really hope it’s not Co but either way there’s not much I can do
So I feel better today already but last night was pretty bad like fever I have a little bit of a sore throat so I think I’m going to have a bath I’m so happy there’s a bathtub here have a hot bath get some food and stay in today and hopefully get
Better for tomorrow so I can go out and do things again I guess that’s what happens when you like go partying a bunch oh but yeah having a fever sucks oh I can’t go out I definitely can’t go out oh my God look at my
Hair yeah I got to stay in I got to stay in until I’m feeling better I don’t want to get anybody else sick it was worth it the club club I went to on the weekend was worth it for sure out this meal from 7eleven it has like this part heated up
And the rice is in the bottom that’s pretty epic and then you can literally just do this boom that’s how you make the meal this is chicken and cheese this is like 500 yen yeah let’s go oh cut it’s spicy I love that they separated them meat meat and the
Rice that’s awesome this this is a fantastic 500 yen meal I’m already feeling a lot better today to be honest it was probably Co that’s so not good I parted too hard stupid anyways this morning I had a consultation for a language School Japanese language School in Shinjuku and
I’m GNA do it I signed up for 10 classes so I’ll do five group classes and five private classes once a week so I’ll do every Wednesday for the month of March while I’m in uh while I’m in Tokyo pretty exciting uh I think it’ll help my
Japanese level as much as I can practice with my friends here and practice when I’m like out and about sometimes it’s important to just uh dedicate some study time to the language you know sometimes it sucks to be bugging your friends with uh language questions all the time so
I’ll start March 1st I’m going to go make some miso soup I still don’t know what this movie is going to be about I want to show something different in Japan and I’m not sure what that is yet maybe my experience will be different enough I would love to capture like the
Normality of traveling here part of the reason of this trip for me is one to improve my language level so that’s why I chose to sign up for some classes while I’m here and two I just want to see like Japan lifestyle more um versus all the touristy stuff I’m not really
Doing a ton of touristy stuff this time yeah I want to see if I can live here I want to see if it would be possible for me to live here for more than like 6 months if I could live here for a year and enjoy it everything is different
Here everything every almost everything is different from America here so I want to see if I can if I can handle it for a long period of time or a longer period of time so 2 months should hopefully be able to give me some idea of that that’s
My goal anyway all right I think I’m going to stay in today a little bit I still have a sore throat but I’m feeling so much better but I think I need to stay in one more day and and heal up uh I’ll eat some miso soup hopefully
That’ll heal me as I struggle to open the plastic on this well this is embarrassing already come on by the way this was like 90s the miso paste that’s a nice image ain’t it that’s what miso paste looks like though comes with a bunch of vegetables look at
That that’s pretty legit and then you should do hot water to the line I’m going to cover it for a couple minutes they gave me a spoon for something else but I’m I lost my Chopstick so I guess I’ll stir it with a spoon this will heal my sickness this I
Can’t believe this was 98 cents it looks legit stir that miso paste in can see all that nice broth do one of these it’s so good wow look at this pepper wow meta oi my place is a little messy right now but this is my workstation and I got like my hard
Drives and stuff here and batteries I just keep charging battery is like crazy this miso is so good let’s go this is kudamon Market it’s very close to where I’m staying in Osaka and I’m going to go find some takoyaki this is like basically Nashi Namba area um oh there’s a
Daiso but uh I’m going to go find some taco Yaki right now and then go fam Ma and then uh like the conveni and then go back to my place oh look I got a green light let’s go nice oh it’s further this way it’s further this
Way this is like a what day is it today Wednesday I think it’s a Wednesday it might be Thursday no it’s Wednesday today it’s Wednesday at like 5:00 p.m. 6:00 p.m. is so it’s not like crazy busy or anything but it’s starting to pick up a little
Bit I think this place gets really busy at like 7 800 p.m. and especially on like Friday Saturdays it’s crazy it’s also like freezing cold right now it’s like 0 degrees it’s actually snowing you can’t probably see it on camera but it’s snowing a little bit today it is so
Cold this place looks really cool check that out okay going to find some takuaki I got my Tac Yaki oh it’s going to fly everywhere cuz it but there’s a place to eat over here this is why this is my favorite takoyaki place they have this like upstairs dining area yeah I need to not get them M the Mayo on the side next time I keep
Forgetting that Japan is the best mayo and I usually don’t like Mayo but the Mayo in Japan is different you need copper Chopsticks and stuff to usually super hot which is nice cuz it’s so cold today also if you think a pizza burn is bad go get your takoyaki
Burn takoyaki is always so hot a pizza burn is nothing compared to takoyaki so I think this place has pretty good takoyaki but the real draw is like this little room down the little Alleyway and the upstairs where you can sit I think that makes it worth it because you get
To see this whole view from up there while you eat your takoyaki so here’s the the store and then you just go down this little this little side route which is kind of hidden from the storefront so if you come here make sure to uh go down this little Alleyway
Here into that door and then you can sit up up there and look down the street which is pretty awesome you can really tell the difference though between like this kudon Market versus like this Market down this way down that way it’s way busier yeah it’s kind of
Interesting that this part that this section of the street is like not that busy I guess it’s like the stores there’s not really any like food spots over here it’s a little bit different a lot of stuff is closed like that’s closed this is closed but like
Everything’s not busy here it’s like one block away from like all this busy area you go one block further and it’s like dead and there’s like nothing really happening like even down here check it out the stuff is closed and there’s some stuff open but it’s just like not as busy or as
Appealing as two blocks down that way where it’s like the half in spot I guess that’s like in any City though there’s like the main attraction areas where it’s busy for like night life and food and then you go a couple blocks away and it’s not very busy I’m going to go into
Famima real quick the cini we got to make a stop hi we at the Osa Castle yo we got to Osaka Castle and as soon as we sat down I had the best news you can tell them oh so wait do you say like the international Beverly Hills

Oh oh my there’s a like tea place in the nearby here actually and it’s so good it’s like a British tea do you think it’s still open I don’t know let me check but the woman is so quiet so we have to be quiet it’s kind of difficult for me Actually I need to buy gloves at some point I don’t know why I haven’t bought gloves yet Sam it was snowing here like two days ago yeah oh you should try to go here to go I have never been there but oh team Labs H Tokyo team Labs yeah team
It’s like outside yeah I think it’s outside okay okay wait hold on these stairs oh these stairs are crazy steep none of them are the same size W the illumination is free from here that’s So SU but it’s literally free from here it’s free mood mood illumination mood illumination and there’s no one I mean just two people I don’t want to pay for this no I would never pay for this it’s like paying for Christmas lights it’s kind of nice yeah the view is beautiful Though this is like a It’s So Random the house is R like rnie oh I mean yeah yeah that’s cool oh yeah the horse runs nice I don’t know I’m not from this looks like a romantic but like music is not romantic like a movie
I what a good night to come to the Osaka Castle though yes this week I think it might be the best day yeah yeah nice nice nice yeah I don’t know who would pay for that really I can’t see only two people there just got back
Going to go for some dinner soon M was so nice we had a great time hanging out at the park at Osaka Castle Park she got me some muffins and a HOA tea so nice today was a day of shopping I bought some stuff this really cool store is like
Where all the American stores are they have a whole like three street block of like American Vintage Thrift and like American clothes it’s so great it’s so funny I got these pants at this place called Jolly Clan they were super fun and were cracking jokes and they were
Just super nice so look at these pants though how sick are those these are all like patches so I really like this uh pretty unique and then because he was so cool and we were cracking jokes he goes make it a set and I’ll give you the Canadian discount
Service and so I wasn’t going to buy anything else but I saw this sweat and I really liked it I’m not going to take it out of the bag right now but it’s awesome and I feel like this is like a good set I think tonight’s like my last party night
In Osaka unless I go out next Friday maybe okay here’s the other thing I bought pretty awesome too I got some onitsuka tigers onitsuka tigers are basically like A6 I think it’s the same company I think they’re owned by A6 in the US I’ll show you why these are really dope in a
Second but I have to comment on one he thought it might rain a little bit so he bagged this like in a plastic bag so the paper bag doesn’t get wet customer service in Japan is on a different level feel like it’s Christmas okay that’s not the only reason why
Customer service is better like I’m not kidding when I say when I bought these shoes which are like you know $100 shoes which I not expensive they’re not cheap either but like Nikes every Nike or like any shoe in the states I feel like is anywhere from 100
To $150 right now for like any normal pair these are cheaper really cool really good well-made shoes these are Japan exclusives meaning you can’t buy these onitsuka tigers in the states so that’s they’re the Japan exclusives but the customer service was so insane that she physically like the
Staff member got got me the sizes I wanted right away put them on my feet like she opened the laces and then like held the shoe open and was like put your foot in and I was like but then my foot’s going to touch your hands like
What the heck in the states they don’t even like undo the laces for you half the time she like took out the paper everything here are the shoes nothing crazy nothing too crazy but you know they look good they’re fresh they’re really lightweight and they’re super comfortable I think they’re really good
For walking Maybe sure to mention that she gave me the white laces as well if I want to switch them out so I probably will do that at some point literally like when I was checking out before I buy them he unboxes the shoes as I just
Did for you and he physically like looked at them made sure there wasn’t any defects made sure they were both the same size cuz you know that probably happens sometimes where you try on two sizes and then you they accidentally mixed the two sizes together so he
Checked that they were the same size he looked for any physical defects made sure they were clean good to go boxed them up wrapped them real nice that’s customer service why don’t they do that in the states even if it’s kind of like a waste of like a few
Minutes it makes you feel better as a customer that they’re spending this time and attention to detail on the product that you’re buying from them and yeah they’re cheaper they were cheaper than like Nikes okay I’m going out let’s go there is day when he of wearing the same
Outfit that’s what happens when you travel for like 2 months and you bring two outfits cuz you’re like I’ll just buy clothes there I went to this sushi place last night and it was so good I had Wasabi eel anago it’s like fresh water eel and wasabi and the Wasabi was
So strong I was like literally sitting there like crying I was trying to like wipe my tears subtly so the staff didn’t notice that I was crying eating their Wasabi eel I also went to a game cerday I forgot my camera yesterday oh why okay
I’m going out I don’t know what day this is I don’t even know what day it is it is I’ll tell you what day it is oh February 21st I’ve been in Japan for like 17 days I go to Tokyo on Saturday it is Tuesday
Today so I don’t have a lot of time left in Osaka it’s kind of sad I have way too many places that I wanted to uh check out I don’t think I’m going to check them all off my list but that’s okay some of them will be for next time oh I
Went to some sick okonomiyaki place though I went to like the best okonomiyaki it was like a minute from my house but I had like 3,000 ratings on Google I waited an hour for this spot but it was worth it it was good I really wanted to try that okonomiyaki so my
Okonomiyaki experience was topnotch man Japan food there’s so much good food in Japan this is like a food documentary or something this isn’t a food documentary okay I don’t want it to be it’s so cold why is it so cold it’s so nice out though but it is like freezing
Today it’s the wind it’s making it so cold so this is the little street right beside my Airbnb in Osaka for the last 2 weeks and it’s right by the Kon market and then all of a sudden you get to this like Marketplace and it’s like bopping

Supermarket so I’ll do a supermarket haul for you I feel like I got to be like really quiet it’s like super residential it’s like where people live in Tokyo I hope I went the right way let me go check my map of course always a vending machine always always always a
Vending machine in Japan no matter where you are even right outside my place got some cuu barley granola some waffles these look good look at this I got some uh some fresh fruit for my granola in the morning it’s my my breakfast sogy this is like five bucks it’s pretty

As well but this is like some special honey I don’t know they’re little packets I didn’t want to buy a whole container so orange juice had to get some green tea always got it stock up with some green tea all this was like $40 I think oh maybe like
$36 but I wonder there’s probably cheaper grocery stores around but this area like I said is expensive W today ended up being a full day I thought I was going to sleep today I’m going to eat some food and go to bed oh this bed I’m so happy this bed is so
Comfortable got a comfortable bed that’s all that matters and clean the bathroom setup is so whack here I hate the bathroom setup there’s no like place for toilet trees or to like plug in my toothbrush or shaver or any like bathroom Electronics like what blow dry
My hair if I want to blow dry it which I sometimes do got to blow dry it in the living room it’s so weird there’s no mirror it’s just like awkward as heck this bathroom situation I can’t explain it you got your shower and bath here and
The mirror so but there’s no plugins and like that’s where I want to do toiletries but after you shower it’s like all wet so you can’t stand here after you shower if you like Dy it off you can’t go back and brush your teeth cuz like the floor is all wet so then
You’re going to get your feet wet and then your toilet’s in here but like you’re not going to brush your teeth in here or do anything there’s no mirror again no plugins also I I’m so sad there’s no bedet this is like a western toilet so
Sad and then here I was like oh I guess I can it all here no there’s no mirror I found this little pocket mirror that sucks but this like your Cook’s top so I don’t really want to like shave here and then there’s like no mirror and there’s
Also no plugs threw this bath mat in there so I didn’t get my feet wet or my socks wet Japan explain this one to me cuz this one makes no sense I don’t know if this is just this place cuz my last place was not like this it was like a
Way better setup maybe this is just old I don’t know I don’t like this setup though this bathroom setup sucks the life of a creative sometimes sucks don’t have any money let’s talk about my travels I met such a cool group of people the other day and I’m like wow
It’s so easy to meet people sometimes like you just like put yourself out there and find people that are similar to you and for me it’s like creative like video people or artists and yeah they end up just connecting you with more people like that yeah it was just
Such a cool Vibe of like creators and there’s like eight people that I met the day and I’m like wow this is so rare to happen when you’re like at home just doing your daily stuff I’m like oh this is not like a unique thing in Japan I think it’s just unique
Because I’m putting myself out there like it’s happening here because I have time but also like I make the time for it oh yeah I want to meet yeah I’m down to go out sure let’s meet up I don’t know what’s going to happen today but
Shar let’s do it like I get the invitation and go whereas La I always have like excuses I think cuz I’m like at home so that’s like kind of one cool thing about traveling is if you keep an open schedule open mind cool stuff can happen and I think that can happen as
Well when you’re at home I’m going to try to keep that mindset when I get back to LA yesterday I hung out with a friend and we went to like this cool little Marketplace I forgot my camera I have to just tell you about it but we went to
This Marketplace and like just like handmade Goods yeah it was like a little Marketplace event like showcase so there was like little vendors everywhere it was really awesome there was like really fancy Chopsticks oh it was crazy there was some like chopsticks and stuff that were like $200 cuz they were like snake
Skin embedded I don’t know just like some crazy stuff or like made out of some amazing wood and like handmade so stuff like that it was pretty cool and then we just hung out and went to um this was in Ginza went to ezekiah hung
Out got some food went and got some udon after that even cuz I was still hungry got like $4 udon figured out the Train by my house where I’m at in ebisu is pretty awesome I’m really close to Hero there’s like an organic Lawson Lawson is one of the like three main convenience
Stores here there’s like Lawson Family Mart and 7-Eleven there’s an organic Lawson right by my house here and I’m like oh that’s how I know I’m in a rich neighborhood cuz I’ve never seen that I kind of I’m kind of sad that I don’t
Have a bath in La I really want a bath again cuz baths are kind of lit so like look at these bath bombs that I got they’re like super nice these were nyaku Yen so 200 yen like which is like a125 anyways it’s stuff like this that
Like you find in Japan and you’re like this is so convenient and like cheap and like just makes you feel good and I’m like that stuff in America is like so expensive so just the lifestyle is a little bit different but also I think you make way less money if you were to
Live here so it’s all relative in a way like this area that I’m living in is supposedly insanely expensive like rich people only but I look up the real estate prices and it’s like 200 300,000 for like an apartment like a nice apartment or like even 500,000 and you
Can get like a house and I’m like that’s so cheap compared to La that’s so cheap so many pros and cons to Japan and America this isn’t some like amazing Utopia place I don’t think that exists of course but you know people talk like it is sometimes today it’s like 2:00
I’ve just been doing emails and doing some work figuring out my financial situation a little bit but anyways I think I’m going to go explore my neighborhood it’s so nice today and I haven’t really like just walked around during the day in my neighborhood yet I’ve been here only a
Couple days so I think I’m just going to go walk around look at the shops explore see what I can find I also really want to show off like boring parts of Japan one thing I find here that’s really difficult is like making plans with people cuz everyone’s so busy
Hey when are you free oh let me check my schedule and I’m like okay I’m free in two months from now like what no I’m I’m exaggerating only a little bit let’s say it’s March 1st people will be like you’re like hey let’s hang out when are
You free and they’re like I’m free on Friday March 20th or whatever and you’re like oh sick yeah yeah me too I’ll schedule it I guess and I maybe some people love that but I hate that I love like last minute plans just going with the flow of things sometimes plans are
Cool I’m cool with plans as well like I love planning stuff as well so I’m okay with that but for hanging out and like being friends with somebody scheduling stuff so far in advance doesn’t feel feel very friendly it feels like a business transaction or something so
It’s like oh stuff that I like to plan is like oh concert ticket in the future or like a trip but one thing for sure is that my Japanese is way better this trip compared to 2019 so my Japanese practice has been has been fruitful is that what
You say I am seeing the benefits of practicing Japanese for the last like 3 years cuz I can like actually hold conversations and like ask people stuff and yeah it’s defin definitely helpful a lot of people here do not speak English actually my friend toru yesterday said
This to me which was like really nice he’s like last time cuz he saw me in 2019 we hung out and he’s like when we hung out in 2019 he said I was mostly speaking English with a little bit of Japanese and now it’s like reverse mostly speaking Japanese with like a
Little bit of English that kind of hit me in a weird way where I was like oh that’s like good I think that’s good I think that’s good that means I’m actually learning the langu anguage and that’s probably the best way to learn is like just always try to use Japanese and
Then when I can’t I’ll use English or translate like one word so I’m getting better at being able to like express myself in Japanese maybe I’m just beginning to be able to express myself a little bit more or like at least get my point across all right this is like a
13-minute video of me like on the bed on my bed just like talking to you so I’m going to cut this video now but thanks for listening I am obsessed with this shirt look look at it so I’m on like the top floor here which is pretty awesome but there’s
No elevator so I got to take four flights of stairs four flights of stairs to leave and enter let’s go doesn’t seem so bad it’s it’s really not so bad until you have to go up look at that little dogy I can’t believe it went
From 0° one day to like today is 19 I’ve been so cold even all bundled up I’ve been so cold so today I’m just in this shirt it’s feels so much more comfortable this is the Lawson I’m talking about it’s like an all natural lawon but this tree looks cool cool little shops
Around okay I just came through here cuz apparently there’s like Shi Temple right here so and I think that’s the cemetery but the temple is this way look at this neighborhood look at those cars yeah so you know it’s expensive okay I’ll be quiet this is the Shi Temple I don’t think
It’s very uh popular I think I’ll come back when I uh don’t have a camera maybe I don’t know I feel like it’s a little maybe impolite to bring a camera in there I don’t know maybe I’m wrong everyone’s dressed in like suits but maybe it’s just the time of day right
Now Chim like I hate to like walk in and it’s like they have like tea ceremonies and stuff there that it looks really cool so I have to check it out but this place is kind of dope I’m going to go to the park there’s like a park like very
Close to here so that’s where I’m off to next I like love that this place is called homeworks plural with an apostrophe it’s like a hamburger spot called homeworks homeworks what with the apostrophe s I’m like homework what homeworks dad homeworks what oh we got a pizza Spa here
Too so I’m actually kind of hungry and I’m right by the park and yeah it’s a nice day but there’s also this like Treehouse Cafe so kind of want to go check that out wow there’s lots of like wine stores around here just kind of random people like
Whne in maybe soon all right why it’s like under construction or something why is it under construction I guess I’m adventuring up here and then I’ll go eat oh who would have thought the park is a proper Park crazy that’s kind of nice There’s lots of kids around so adorable abai oh this is what’s up this place is fire yo down this little side road is a treehouse Cafe there it is so s that’s kind of a crazy staircase yo this is crazy it’s like straight down it’s like
In the middle of the city but there’s like a cafe up here I don’t know how to get there actually we got this little like kind of sitting area it’s awesome uh the worst part is now I have to go back down that way I think so that kind of sucks actually
Maybe I can go in this way I don’t actually know where the cafe is so you can literally just go up a normal staircase instead of that really sketchy one that makes sense oh my God it’s amazing it’s amazing wow Shinjuku station is kind of crazy today is my first
Japanese class in Shinjuku so I like did not know where my my exit was there’s like a million exits in all the big stations so sometimes it’s a little confusing cuz I did not see any signs for it so I just got outside and figured
It out as you do as you do on the train system here we’re in Shinjuku though yeah baby so I finished my two classes just now the group class was actually really fun the teacher was really awesome the other students are kind of like I feel like they don’t want
To hang out after class lame it’s a little koui Kimi a little bit awkward I don’t know why maybe like actually maybe only half of them seem a little awkward they just seem a little hesitant to speak and practice Japanese which I feel like is
The whole point of the class so I don’t know I felt sometimes I was maybe talking too much but then I realized I was like I tried to sit back and talk less but then I realized they just weren’t talking at all like they’re just not participating as much as they
Should be maybe check this out that looks cool um so I’m walking to Shinjuku Central Park right now oh after my group class I had a little break when I got some sushi also got some some tea and Pocky to take to the park I’m going try
To find some ice cream when I get closer to the park too what the heck all the grass is going to be wet oh they don’t want people on the grass that’s why that makes sense let’s have a park where you can’t sit on the grass
Shinjuku Coen where you can’t sit on the grass but that’s okay I’m going to go to the bakery here and find a snack and then find somewhere to sit around here maybe there’s a different spot maybe there’s a different part of the park where you can sit on the grass maybe they’re
Just fixing this part looks a little sad so maybe that’s what they’re doing we got a little sign here all right Shinjuku Central okay I see you there’s a little eating area over here too and Yurts for some reason why do they have Yurts so strange but anyways it looks like a good
Little sitting area to eat snacks at lots of people are hanging out those little tents you can like hang out inside with like lamps and stuff yeah so those little tent things you can actually just use if they’re free that’s cool that’s kind of busy
I got my green tea but I also just went to this bakery and got some sick snacks I got a croissant I got a cheese bagel for later and I got a dut the doughnut looks so good there’s the croissant this thing looks dope pistachio lemon yo I can’t wait to eat
This my I might just kill some time here and not go home cuz I don’t want to pay for the train twice so journaling wow it’s been a busy couple days I haven’t been filming anything I went to the park as you know and I had such bad allergies cuz I
Get really bad spring allergies to like pollen and stuff but I bought some eye drops these are like uh allergy eye drops so I did that that actually helped quite a bit this is my study book I bought some uh little note Keepers I thought this would be useful so I just
Bought these today for my next class and I love miy the bunny this is Miffy I I don’t know if you know this character I love Miffy I think myy is awesome so bought these little sticky notes as well oh yeah I got these pens too look at these
Highlighters I use highlighters a lot for scripts when I print out scripts when I get an audition I always highlight my lines so I like highlighters what yesterday I went to Shinjuku golden guy it’s like small little bars like tiny little bars like four or five people can sit in them I
Went to one called open book it was sick and then I made a bunch of uh people from Osaka and the canai region laugh cuz I was speaking like canai dialect to them so that was pretty funny and made some new friends the bar is like this
Tiny tiny bar jam packed with like 13 people and there’s like six seats in there literally we shoulder Tosh shoulder doing some work I got got a pitch deck that I’m working on for this movie check this out I’ll show you one sec this is like version one so I got
Some notes to do on this this is like a short film that I have some funding for we want to turn it into a feature potentially so I had two auditions yesterday so I did those that kind of took up my day um in the morning and afternoon oh the Chopsticks I bought
These custom Chopsticks I want to show you them actually before I show you the custom ones B I want to show you these I found a Snoopy store and they had these Snoopy Chopsticks and it’s Snoopy on a dog house my mom loves dogs I thought she’d like these good little gift and
Then I bought myself these cuz these look so sick they’re like clear kind of lime green they don’t really look as as fluorescent on camera for some reason but they’re really like lime green they have Woodstock on them I don’t know why you can’t see on here oh there that’s
Better look how green those are like fluorescent yellow I love that okay I’ll show you these custom ones let me put my camera down so I went to this store it’s called Uh hon it’s like right down the street for me and they do custom Chopsticks so they have really expensive
Chopsticks that are like $80 for one pair and then people do gifts for like weddings so like you know husband and wife sets but this place does custom engraving so I picked out the pair of Chopsticks that I wanted oh I picked out this pair of Chopsticks I thought they looked good and
They fit my hand the best just tried a bunch until I found the pair that I liked but then they custom engraved so I got my name custom engraved on these there we go so that’s my name in Katakana most English people like American people’s names would be in Katakana so
That’s haris actually my name in Katakana all the characters look very similar if you’re learning Katakana uh so and un are like so similar luckily they are used in my name so it helped me learn them I make quite a lot of Japanese food at home so I actually use
Chopsticks quite often I always make like yakis SOA or Ramen these are great gifts or great things to buy souvenirs while you’re in Japan I think if you’re here cuz they’re easy to throw in your suitcase your backpack your bag or whatever and they don’t take up really
Any space so I think Chopsticks are great gift for yourself gift for your friends uh um yeah that’s my recommendation nobody really talks about Chopsticks as as gifts I don’t know why but they’re like really cool here and like those ones are custom engraved like they don’t do that in the states or
Canada I don’t think anyway those custom engraved ones were only like 30 us maybe a little cheaper 25 us so not bad yeah kind of had a late last late last night late night last night I walked 40 minutes home cuz I missed the train I will go meet my friend Miu she’s
A punk drummer I saw her show like two weeks ago here in Tokyo greed 5 eggs shout out where is oh my god oh that’s fi oh we should go and say hello oh I can take my mask off now yeah say h guys [Applause] yeah everyone’s going to love your hair

Get tired of it and then they move to Kagawa that’s how it works yeah Tokyo is a good place when you have like something to do or some like things that you want to do so that’s true yeah that’s something that I found if you have like work or something exactly if

Single way because the layout is just better everything looks like nicer and the ticket prices are about the same price music was awesome the crowd was so awesome it’s probably one of my favorite live venues I’ve been in Japan in Tokyo blue note didn’t let me take any videos
Didn’t even let me take a photo with my phone and stuff so I didn’t get much there that’s like probably the only bad thing about live venos and a lot of stuff in Japan they don’t let you take photos or videos with your phone I don’t
Know why music or art or events it’s a lot of no photos allow there’s this Bakery right by hio station called truffle Bakery and it is so like it’s always busy it’s so popular it’s always busy always has a lineup around the corner today because it’s Monday and the weather isn’t good it’s
Raining today there was like four people outside the door so the line wasn’t that crazy I like I’m going and I was like I’ll buy one thing I’ll buy a couple things nope I ended up with an entire bag bought fresh bread I brought bought like a croissant this like cream puff
Thing it’s like a truffle egg salad sandwich so that’s what they’re famous for I think anyways so I’m very excited to dig into this I probably bought too much uh food to be honest but that’s okay yesterday I went to coeny excuse the mess on my bed you get off the train
Station in COI and it’s literally like all thrift stores for streets and streets and streets and streets and streets there is so many vintage Thrift stor secondhand clothing stores all by this train station of course I couldn’t leave empty-handed my friend tou took me awesome dude and I’ve been looking for
These for something like this for so long in Los Angeles I found one pair in La one time and it cost like $300 and I did not buy them obviously because $300 is too much but of course in Japan you can find this stuff so these are like vintage Levis but they’re
Bell bottoms look at these can you see these bell bottoms I’ll have to like model these for you at some point these things are fresh look at how wide those are they’re pretty cool cuz they have this Center press these were pulled out of the back
For me I went to this store called reall it almost looks like the word real but it’s real all and it’s all vintage and the staff there was awesome cuz I went straight for the bell bottoms like oh my god I’ve been looking for bell bottoms bell bottoms flare pants forever and I
Go I like these cuz they have the big flares and he goes um like what about these ones and I go oh yeah but I was like I like the big flares but I don’t like the color like I want the the light wash and he goes you
Have time like I was like yeah he’s like I’ll go search for something for you like he comes back five minutes later with these shogo shout out to shogo pulls these out and I try them on and I’m like oh these are perfect like they
Fit me so well I’m a little lazy I don’t want to put them on right now what a bad documentarian I am I’m like I don’t even want to show you the pants all of these in the US are like over $200 and they don’t fit me I can never find my size
These are 28 waist they basically don’t even make 28 wastes in the US I would say 80% of the time I go for a pair of jeans and I find a pair of jeans I really like and I go ah do you have these at 28s and they go oh no that they
Start at 30s but in Japan they have 28s everywhere I’m like made for Japan like that’s why I love fashion here I love shopping in Japan like they always have my size I think it’s really funny all the Vintage shops as well there’s a bunch of American Vintage and American
Like secondhand in Co and just at the thrift stores anywhere in in Tokyo or in Japan and I feel like they have better selection and more American like vintage than America I’m kind of not doing anything today I don’t really have plans so that’s why that’s why I’m talking to
The camera cheers Japan I have two weeks left here I can’t believe I only have two weeks left here and tou was so nice he took me to COI but he also gave me some secondhand for free I shouldn’t put this over my brown sweater but kind of

Like 24 hours straight I was supposed to go to Yokohama yesterday and I really wanted to go I’m feeling better today for sure I slept for like 30 hours straight you get sick sometimes when you don’t stop but also hay fever I’ve had really bad hay fever I always get bad
Hay fever but in Tokyo it’s really bad so I’ve had like caoon show like hay fever for like two weeks so that doesn’t help either I feel like I’ve been videoing less and less on this trip and maybe that’s because there’s only so much atmosphere outside you can video
Before it all starts feeling normal is that what happens when you’re here for 2 months there’s still interesting things all the time that I’m seeing every day but it becomes normal everything eventually becomes normal no matter where you are no matter the circumstances wow and still some things I want to do
So I’m hoping I’m 100% better tomorrow I literally have been asleep for like 2 days it’s pretty rough it’s my birthday this weekend and I have some plans with some friends and I want to go out so I’m hoping I’m better tomorrow’s Friday and I think I’ll be better tomorrow so get
Another night’s rest and hope for the best I shouldn’t even be videoing but I feel like I have to cuz I haven’t videoed all week I’ve been having such a good time I just like don’t want to video everything all the time like Sunday I went on a photo shoot with my
Friends and they took me out all day we went to like their friend’s taco joint which was in like it felt like a house we did like kotatsu which is like the heated blanket it was so fun and all their friends like joined and they just like knew everybody at
This restaurant it was a tiny tiny restaurant but it was called Ken Taco shout out Ken Taco yo it was so fun that was such an awesome day thank you tooru and Inu and all the homies that was fun but then I got sick after hoping my last weekend here I’ll
Be feeling better I can celebrate my birthday on Saturday and then I leave then I leave Japan made more friends and got to see some friends I haven’t seen in a long time so this trip has been really amazing got to experience a lot of cool things this
Trip I’m going to go to the cini it’s been like a 3-day coma guys I had like a fever and it’s just been awful I had to cancel plans with my friends and I missed my last Japanese class here I rescheduled that to Monday though the day before I leave
Okay need to go out for my birthday dinner going on eeka and then we’re doing like 2 hours of Koke and then I don’t know what will happen after that but I do have to go home early cuz I have to work on an audition tomorrow so

I just got over being sick so I didn’t want to go too crazy everyone’s getting sick though like a bunch of people canceled coming to my birthday cuz they were sick believe I leave Japan in two days and the next like 48 hours is a little crazy mainly because I have a big
Audition that I’m working on it’s like a six-page audition for like a series lead except I do have a dinner plan with my friends later later so yeah but the majority of the day is learning these um this set of sides learning these lines and this audition actor’s life baby on
