Sunflower 🎶 SUNFLOWER 🎶
I hope everyone is safe after the strong Earthquake you had toady just off the coast of Japan 🙏
21:14 good curry!
I’m just here for the Sunflower theme meme 😂❤
Edit: 4:44 😭😭
I’m almost never this early!!
You always try to bring us the best sunsets.
Hope you survived the earthquake okay.
Looking forward to seeing the meal on this ferry.
Today, I learned about an entire people from ONE WORD in your video. I never even knew that the Ainu even existed.
That was an amazing sunset you captured!! ❤
no bathroom in cabin is a no no for me. to save a little money its not worth not being comfortable . sorry solo.
Sunflower, Sunflower! You should see the looks I get when I sing that song. I live in Canada, and it's winter right now. I laughed when you said we have to sing it ourselves! I see from the comments, we all know the song well!
I’m very disappointed that there was no sunflower song being played!
A new ferry trip with Solo-san! Always a favorite. 🙂
I saw sunflower in the title, was already singing the song
I want the Sunflower song played at my wake and funeral
I’m an American & recently made gyudon for the first time. The recipe I used was delicious, but I was wondering…is it customary to make it without onions? 🧅
I’d like to add onions next time I make it. 😊
When I saw the title, I started warming up my voice. I was disappointed during boarding.
Oh, my goodness! I would run out of that room screaming 😱. That is like when I go for an MRI in the U. S .Ugh!
LOL – the Sunflower sing along
I am a simple person. I see STJ, Sunflower, and I drop everything!
Yes, I sang along with the sunflower song. I had to giggle at the tender potato.😅
Hope you and your loved ones are save!
I spend two hollidays in Hachinohe and I hope the city and everyone is ok!
Great video! Your room looks more like a jail cell. 🤣
Didnt expect the sudden girls und panzer train
nice sunset
Hope you are ok after the earthquake. Thank you for sharing.
Sunflower 🌻 ❤
Can someone PLEASE tell me what those egg-shaped things are that are always on the tables??
こんにちは、はく。
歌いましょう…
ひまわり
ひまわり…
北海道ではいつも雪が降ります。
今夜、ハクは「スパルタン」というシンプルな旅行用キャビンで旅をします。
飾り気はありません。だって、帰り道ずっと寝るんですから！
ふふふふ
ハクが旅に出たら、必須の食べ物は？
カレー……
毎日シャワーを浴びると臭いが防げます。今日もシャワーを浴びましたか?
そして今、大洗に到着したハクは、東京の地下鉄の地下深くに隠された隠れ家へと戻ってきた。
まるで、上にある温泉の湯を温める蒸気機関を備えた鎌地の工房のように。
サンフラワー・ピルカに乗せてくれてありがとう、ハク。モントリオールからおやすみなさい。
ありがとう
Had a laugh at the “?? … It’s a potato!” “The winner of the disappointing curry gran prix!”
I am sure a lot of us regular watchers were already humming the Sunflower song as soon as the name of the ship was seen. And we are all hoping that you were nowhere near the earthquake just off Hakodate. I giggled when the caption of " 2025 Disappointing Curry Grand Prix!" The Where's the beef comments remind me of the commercials from the '80s or '90s! At least the ship didn't creak and rattle as much as the Sister one.
Dinner curry certainly looked better than lunch curry! I would also just sleep right away on a night ferry. Shame there wasn't a cafe or somewhere to get breakfast or anything though.
🌻🌻❤❤
I hope you are in a safe place after the earthquake.
So, Solo Travel this ferry has rattling noises unless you have these cabins because they are in a different area of the ship? That's good to know for any first timer on this route. How was the comfort level of your bed? I will assume it wasn't bad because you didn't remark on it. This is such a neat looking ship that you'd almost assume there was more to it for walk on passengers, but I do understand it's main purpose is freight/cargo. I'm so sorry your curry had only one piece of "tough" meat. Too bad they didn't play the Sunflower theme song. It might have made the experience worthwhile.🙂 Thank you STJ!!
Amazing trip
Prices for everything are rising exponentially. Every person and company is having to cut corners to survive. This devastating worldwide situation is being caused by the Rothschild owned worldwide Central Banking system.
I stay away from curry because it varies so widely in flavor.
Just because there’s a tunnel between Hokkaido and Honshu, you don’t actually have to USE it!
My thoughts are with all of Japan after today’s earthquake. Hoping you and yours are safe
And what do all the ships do, if they are in the tsunami warning area?
As an American, from the land where sunflowers come from, I can assure EVERYONE that they do tend to rattle!
Looked like a very nice ride! Thanks for showing us the ship 🛳️ STJ! 👍🏻🙌🏻👋🏻😊
Our favorite ferry ❤
