Lotta love
Sabrina🇫🇷🇬🇧
Loving this one! You are really nailing the editing. Such a fascinating looking country too, with very much it's own vibe and new things to be experienced.
100,000 subscribers is almost here!
I think this has been one of your best….having just come back from Kapama. Now planning my next trip………….keep it up Lady.
👏😀👏😀 from tokyo
What's the name of the pet cafe you visited? I'll be in Kyoto in September and would love to go!
James coming after Phoebe camera is uncalled for , red card 😂😂, has he not seen her amazing edits and good music choice !! ,also I can't wait till you get to 100k !! 🎉🎉
Phoebe is back! Kyoto is just the greatest place, and is my favourite Japanese city. Going back there next May, so thanks Phoebe for this taster (yes pun intended, 😂 Kyoto is more than food, though it is certainly delicious !)
Hey
Can you link your music please? 😊
Phoebe’s so hot, and she has a fetish for that rickshaw man’s legs 😆
Fun times in Kyoto! Such a beautiful city. Too bad you didn’t spend more time there but I am sure you will be back! ❤
You've definitely got your magic back! Great to see you smiling from your heart again 🥰
A lovely fun filled vlog. Japan is such a vibrant & culturally different place. Glad you both are having fun, exploring..
Enjoy & soon to celebrate 100,000 subscriber's.. X
Hiya! Shinskansen is superior! When I was traveling from Tokyo to Kyoto they even excused themselves for being 17 seconds late. As if anyone would’ve noticed. Kyoto has so much to offer, we just had one day so we visited Kinkaku-ji and it was incredibly beautiful, it’s not featured in this video so I recommend to do that next time you’re in Kyoto, believe me it’s worth it. Is that capsule hotel like a hostel or is it a real hotel? Because it really looks like a fancy hostel and I’ve seen hostels with pods/capsules before. Hey Phoebe, regarding the lens, size doesn’t matter, it’s the content that does 🫶. I love that dress, looks Japanese ❤. Miso soup is my favorite soup ever 🥵. Thanks for sharing your Kyoto tips and have a great week ahead 🤙
Love the video. Japan is such an interesting and beautiful country. Great to see you having such a brilliant time.
Just want to say that one of the reasons I started watching LGB videos was the high quality of the video production, and it's a real testament to you that the video production quality remains so high.
Looking forward to the rest of the Japan series and seeing where your travels take you next.
All the best, Phoebe.
Always so much food ❤😊
Ok…"Rob's Review" as promised 🤣
* Still dig the quick intro of what's to come. (However, as a whisky aficionado, and a lover of Suntory…what was that drink?!?! We never find out!).
* In 15 seconds, you effectively describe why anyone visiting Japan should get the JR Train Pass and how to do it with Klook. Perfect.
* Ok…the music…ever since these videos have become yours alone, your music selections have encapsulated how you were feeling during your journey or your trips. This Japan series is no exception–happy, bouncy, "glad to be alive" kind of music. Hard to not just dance along with you.
* Let the images show how great the bullet train is. (Not to mention how good those Bento boxes looked! Yum!)
* Wait…an Uber driver in a suit with white gloves! First class!! The heck with the bus!
* Everyone listen to James! Like and Subscribe…be the 100,000th Sub!!
* Capsule hotel…how perfect for this journey.
* Ok, James…while I admit that your channel and the quick-shot videos are indeed fantastic…and while you may have a nicer camera…you don't have her amazing style! Having said that, everyone, do go to his two videos as well. Seeing Phoebe with her stuffed yellow shark is hilarious!
* Yes, Phoebe…you need merch from LGB: "The Plan is: just go out, have fun, find good food, love life!" I'm gonna use that phrase for my next trip!
* "Have fun"–puppies and kittens are always fun
* "Good food"–yakitori in Japan 😋
* "Love life"–sometimes the best days are the unplanned, "let's just go," days, just like that evening–heck this entire Japan series so far!
* Had me a bit nervous for a moment: saw "The Next Morning" but then the music and shots kept coming. And you left the hotel! But, *whew*…"Good Morning You Guys!" 😆
* Ok…ok…ok…gotta talk about the Kimonos! WOW 🤩 I knew it was a fun thing to do in Japan, but I think now I understand just how much fun. What an incredible way to feel like you're a part of really being there. Gotta ask, though…ever feel a little…weird or uncomfortable being out in public with them? Or was it truly the pure joy that appeared on you and James' faces throughout? (also, both of you looked really good in them. I hope you forever treasure the pictures of you in it that you posted to IG!)
* I already know Japanese food is great…but you make it look so…colorful…so appetizing and delicious. Great shots! (even if James doesn't think you have a fancy enough camera 🤪)
* Except uni….I'm not a fan and was cringing watching you eat it. I saw in other comments that you are willing to try it again, but only in Japan. Perhaps that is sage advice. 'Cause here in the States…not so good. 🤢 (However…I laughed out loud when James told you what it was. The sign of a good friend to raz you after setting you up!)
* Shopping in Japan looks so amazing. Well done in just showing what is available and how the shops are arranged…no need for commentary; let the images and music do the work!
* And, speaking of work! That rickshaw guy is, indeed, buff! You got to wear traditional Japanese attire, while riding a traditional Japanese rickshaw, through the traditional old capital of Japan. Just think of how absolutely cool that is! What a life you're living!
* Were you able to get some video of your rickshaw driver talking and pointing out the sites?
* Yuzu Ramen?!?!?! OMG…I love ramen (miso is my usual favorite)…but yuzu? Oh, wow.
* Way to get a bit of revenge on James and catching him off-guard! (I also can't slurp my ramen. I know you're supposed to–my wife reminds me to do so all the time–but I just can't)
* Bah…you don't need to hit the "tourist" sites. It looks like y'all hit the better sites anyway!
* Excellent mix of your thoughts looking forward to Osaka while in still Kyoto while showing the quick 'previews' of what you did in Osaka! That was delightful (and the escalator shot—😂)
Phoebe–I've been watching some of your past videos a lot lately as I'm finalizing our trip to NZ and Australia next month. As you sit on the precipice of a great milestone (100k!!), I even went further back. You've come a long way and have created easily one of the best travel vlogs on YT. I've been watching a lot of other travel vlogs about Australia and NZ. A lot. And I keep going back to yours because you provide such incredible information and show people what they can really do. Because of you, I know we're gonna have the time of our lives in Auckland (I didn't know about the All Blacks Experience!) and we'll also be staying at Ceder Creek Lodge in Tamborine for a night (looking forward to a wine and charcuterie board!). I was at first intimidated in planning this trip but, we know what we want to do in NZ and in Brisbane (my wife's Gma's hometown back in the '40's). Again…all because of your videos and your inspirations.
The high production value (which is another way of saying "all of your hard work") shines through and has, at least in my opinion, gotten so much better this year. It's part of what makes your channel so much better. You've also been open and vulnerable in these videos. You've let the world into your heart, knowing it will help you heal (I think that's why we like these so much–fellow introverts here). They've become not just a journey throughout the world to be shared, but also your journey through your toughest of times. A modern day version of an autobiography. I think this is why your channel has exploded and will continue to grow–hopefully beyond even your wildest dreams.
Keep going. Keep sharing. Keep inspiring us all. And we'll see you next week in Osaka!
Rob
Thank you for touring Kyoto! I went there 11 years ago and loved it. This October, I will be moving to Kyoto for school, where I will be living there for at least the next 2 years or so. I'm looking forward to it and to see how much the city has changed within the last 10+ years.
I will put that on my bucket list to travel on the bullet trains. The food in Kyoto looks delicious and by your reaction taste is very good as well. Great to see you are happy and having fun and you are not on your own. Phoebe we don't have to worry about you, because we know you are going to be ok. Best Wishes From Kevin.
1st of all, congrats on reaching 100K subscribers. Also, yes you definitely need more time in Kyoto. But, you stayed there 1 day longer than me. I went there in 2014 and only stayed overnight. Wish I could have stayed longer. I did stay in a capsule hotel like you and liked the experience, although I stayed in July and it was really humid. Nice little summary of your 2 days there. And wow, you looked so pretty in the Kimono 😍
I really hope that you come to Malaysia if possible🤗
So wonderful to see the sparkle back in your eyes. Love the content. Any doubt you had in your ability to produce professional videos should be totally put to bed. Also love the addition of James.
great. 🤩😍
動画としての完成度が高く心地よい(^^)
I love this video! The editing and your lovely face that is glowing with newfound happiness. I am so happy to see you doing well and I can’t wait to see more of your videos. ♥️
100K!!! Well girl, YOU BROUGHT THE GOODS for the perfect video to hit the 100! This was my favorite video of yours…ever. The editing now is one of the best on YT in travel videos, narration and taking us along with your is so authentic and welcoming and the music choices are PERFECT. I am in love with Kyoto now because of you and your video. Thank you!
Woo foo🎉🎉🎉
Sounds great you’ve done lots of something new😊❤❤❤
I loooooooove Kyoto❤❤❤
Congratulations 1L subscribers 👏 💐💐 Have a colorful life 😍
So happy for you. Enjoy the holiday
Phoebe, you are so kind, genuine, gorgeous, fun-loving, big-hearted, and optimistic like an angel 😇. I recommend you to visit Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Those two places were the atomic bombings happened during WW2.
I really thought expensive equipment makes a difference 😂 but it doesn’t, im a experienced youtube watcher over a decade of viewing youtube vids i watched the guys same clip the quality was worst maybe if was editing as a short video and stuff led up the scaling, i cant believe the chicks vid is recorded on a cheap smartphone it even produces watchable and awesome visual quality compared to his few thousand dollar equipment
Once you edit the clips in final cut pro the colours pop visual clarity is so good you don’t even need expensive big bulky equipment to carry around just a smartphone will do damn just relized it was recorded in 4k no wonder the visuals are so good but the storage space must be running low towards end of the day
welcome japan。
二人とも着物が似合ってましたね。
素敵な旅になることを願ってますよ。
kate 🥰🥰
Omigosh, howww funnnnn!!!
Awww uni, sea urchin is my fave!! They’re so expensive!
Lovely vid. followed most of your recommendations in SG last week and couldn't fault you on any of them.
I’ve loved watching your journey adventures and life. Thankyou for sharing 😊 also your hair is stunning.
Anyway I can get the names to all the songs you used in the video? I loved the music. Also my brother-in-law and I will be going to Japan in May, 2024, and Kyoto is on our list! This definitely gives me some ideas for our trip. Thanks so much!
Wow what a place Kyoto is. Definitely on my bucket list now ! and you looked stunning in that pink kimono Phoebe. Great video 🙂
Very impressive Kyoto travel trip video,and useful detailed information really enjoyable thanks for sharing 👌👌👌😮
You happy little munchkin. A joy to see. Well done for 100 k. Going from strength to strength.
That was gorgeous Phoebe..🙏loving travelling Japan with you 🥰🥢❤️
I am Japanese. Japan is considered safe, but that is only in comparison to other countries. There are also dangerous people here. Please remember that there are Japanese individuals with ill intentions who may approach you with a friendly face. Enjoy your trip, but remain cautious.
