But you know, I was talking about like day in the life, day in the life. Only thing that I did in that day in the life was just wake up, go to the gym, eat food, play Rocket League, and that’s it. Like, my life was so boring that episode. I was like, man, my day in the life trash. You know, when you’re editing the video, you when you’re in the process of making a video, you feel like, yo, I’m making some I’m making some heat. But when I’ve posted it and when I review it, man, I realize how boring my day is. Today’s fashion check. All right. White on white. White on white. Nah, she got that diddy party whites, man. Joanna Jordan, what the freak is this?

I kind of see why people say like content creators and YouTuber and Twitch streamer is weird as f, you know. I see it why now. I see it why now? Because doing stuff like this in front of people that they don’t know clue what I’m doing, it got to be something. Got to be something weird, man. We live in a different era now, man. You know, back in my day, I’m I was born in 2000s, you know. Back in my day, my back in my old days, you know, there’s no weird people like this when I was when I was younger, you know.

Right lane is the, you know, they they coming from that lane, you know, left lane is the go lane. So yeah, when I came back from the states to Japan, you know, it feel really really weird because, you know, I was starting to get used to even though I’ve lived here longer than in the US, I started to get used to that like left left seat is the driver’s seat, right seat is the passenger seat. I started to get used to that, right? And when I and when I came back, I was like, “Oh, what what the what the freak is going on? While my mom is driving the left lane, we about to die.” My honest like reaction was like Robert Freeman from Boondocs. Like I feel like I’m going to die. That That was my reaction. We all going to die. feeling. Are you feeling all right on the beat? Hey, man. Evelyn, too many options, buddy. I’m John Stockton. Boys watching. This is why when you go to a festival, you should walk or take the train or maybe get up early and go to the festival. This is why it’s been 2 hours, brother. From the last segment that I just I just took. It’s been 2 hours from that. Look at it. The sun is about to fall, man. Yeah. So, I’m going to give you a tip. If you’re going to a festival, I don’t care which one which festival you gonna visit in, you know, in Japan, you know, don’t take your car, ride a train and just walk, you know, use your legs, man. Use your legs. You don’t need to be a QB, snapback, throw type of QB. You don’t need to be a You got to be a verbal quarterback. I don’t even know that if I don’t even know if that makes sense, but yeah. Yeah. after uh you know 2 hours of finding a spot to park. I finally I finally find some. So, hey, let’s get to the festival. Let’s get to the festival. All right. I’m kind of exciting a little bit. I’m kind of exciting a little bit. So yeah, let’s let’s see how it goes and let let’s see, you know, what it’s all about. So we made it to Hatchino City. I want to give you a quick explaining about this festival. This festival has been going on for over 300 years. Yes, since like 1700s. Yeah, it’s old old. Uh, basically it started as a religious event where people pray for rains and good harvest, but now it grown into a massive fiveday party. You know, who doesn’t like a party, right? What you’re seeing right now is like a giant float. This actually moves and lighting and music. Sometimes it smokes. This is one of my spots that I love in Hashino. You know, beautiful. You can chill here, drink a Starbucks. Look at that kid, man. He having a blast, man. If I had a cameraman, I would do the same thing. But hey, uh, inside they got some foods. They got all kind of foods. Takoyaki, Yakisoba, kebab. You know, they got a lot a lot of spoons. So, what you’re seeing right now is dashi. You know, these dashi ain’t just for fun. They are actually made to honor the gods from three shrines. One is the god of water and rain. Another is god of tree and nature. And third one is son goatress amatros, the most important deity in Japanese mythology. fire. Sorry for the angle, but this one right here was so tall. I had a, you know, hotel on my right side, but it almost such a top. You know how high that is? And it was so beautiful with the cherry blossom on top. Dope. Yeah. I don’t know if this one right here is real, but this right here, this cherry blossom pink was so beautiful. I see four grown man leagues. Can somebody sample this and make a music? It will be fire. I didn’t realize when I was recording, but in the left side they got Gyarados and Magikarp. Yeah, as a Pokemon fan that’s fire. This is straight up fire. I’m not going to lie. You know, all this huge I don’t even know how you say it in English. Ashi, all all this stuff is just fire. Just just good. Just good. I got to check a little bit more. Maybe I might check out the food later. One thing that I will advise to you guys if you’re going into a festival like this, you know, bring your friends together. All right. N for real though, like real talk. Real talk though, being here alone, you know, I’m okay because I’m doing it for content right now, but if you’re going here, if you’re coming in some festival like this, you got to have your friend together, bro.

Like look at this right here. What is this? What is this? What is this? What is this? Huh? I don’t know. I don’t know about the other one, but I used to wrestle, so I know this one. These three amazing female wrestlers are all from Hatchino City in Almori. They are known as Icho sisters, Shiharu and Kyote, and Hitomi Oara. All of them Olympic champion and absolutely legend in women’s wrestling. This is the medal that they earn in the Olympics. If you ever wrestled before, you know by the shoes that they work hard for this medal. This is some old footage from the festival. Sa taai. It’s probably 90sish, 2000, early 2000ish. Now that’s history. Clock at 7. Time to go to heaven. If you want to go to heaven, I’ll get him in seven. This one was a vibe, man. Like look at them. Yeah. Hit the moves. Yeah, this one was so fire.

You got to get those. If you get to a festival, you got to get those. This is a must. This is a must buy. Uh, I would say like a sweet or food. This is a must buy. It’s 500 yen there. Yeah, it’s kind of pretty high. Pretty high for a banana. But yeah, I can I can guarantee you going you going to love it. Now it start to get darker. You know, the dashi start to light up. It’s so beautiful. This is way better. Yes, I love this. I don’t know why I was taking Lawson’s here, but here. Shout out to S Lawson. The best convenience store in Japan. But one of the part that I love about this festivals is you know they always remind you of like how important of teamwork is you know like right now those are those are not this those are not possible because of one people it’s possible because of multiple people working together. Some people is pulling the rope. Some people is making the beautiful sounds. Some people is just hyping it up. Right. So they always remind me of like how great how great those type of festival is. And if you have a chance if you have a chance to visit those type of festivals, I know it’s too loud right now. You got to visit one time. All right. I really recommend you guys right here. Yeah, it’s really I really recommend you guys on the type of festivals. Me a Yakoba. Yeah, why not eat this? Yakoba is like one of the like is Yakoba is like king king of food when it comes to festival stuff. You know, maybe Yakoba or Takoyaki. I think that’s the top two right here. So, I got the top one. So, why not eat it? I know the lighting is crazy, but let’s eat this yakoba. Man, it’s so good. It’s really good. um strong flavor of the sauce, the sourness of this benny shoga, it mix it mixed really well. Yeah, I will tell you the festival yakisoba is it’s one it’s kind of different. Like you can make yakisoba at home, but the yakisoba that you eat at home and you the yakisoba that you eat at festival is pretty much different. It’s really different though. Yeah, this is this is this is number one, man. I don’t care who ever say Takoyaki is the best. Yakisa is the best, bro. Yep. That’s all for today. And thank you. Uh you know, it was a good one. It was a really a good festival. It really really was. I I don’t know if I was able to explain it well. It was really a good one.

I went to the Sansha Taisai Festival in Japan expecting a chill little parade…
Instead, I got GIANT FLOATS, HYPE DRUMS, and people moving like it’s the final boss battle of summer. 💀🔥
This festival takes place in Hachinohe, Aomori, and let me tell you… they don’t play around.
