Kristen and I flew to Tokyo, Japan, then Singapore so I could give a motivational talk and mentor some virtual production students on the use of Unreal Engine with Epic Games. Japan was originally just a quick layover but we decided to leave the states a bit early so we could spend a little more time in Tokyo and we’re so glad we did.

  1. ❤❤i missed this. Have an amazing time you two and thank you for sharing that time❤❤

  2. Tokyo looks like the den of kitsch (in a good way.) So much to see & only one day?? IfI were you I’d find a local or do a tour. So happy to see an hour long vlog! I had to check again after hitting play to make sure it wasn’t a YT glitch!

  3. Thank you for the iPhone maps info. What was that translating camera app?? I may be going to Japan in December for my best friend's wedding and I'm terrified of going alone and not being able to read anything. I really miss your vlogs. This was such a nice surprise. Thank you for sharing with us!

  4. Great vlog and great to see Kristen! I loved it! Thank you for sharing all the things yall did and saw in Japan! It was fascinating!

  5. This makes me so happy! I've always wanted to go to Japan so badly. Felt like I was there with you guys. I so love how peaceful and polite the culture is. I'm a polite person, but I'm also very excitable and giggly, so I would probably have a hard time being quiet. The toilet that makes peeing sounds so you can't tell whose peeing, that alone had me laughing, and I would have completely lost it in the Studio Ghibli store. Can't wait for the next vlog! Love you guys. And Happy Birthday, Atlas!

  6. This video was great. Awesome Vlog, Cory! When you said Yokozuna (Completely unrelated, I know) It totally reminded me of the Rikishi days with you!

  7. You're going to LOVE JAPAN! Fifty years ago I made 14 round trips sailing for American President Lines as ship's organist. It was my favorite foreign country. The people are wonderful and the scenery is spectacular. Enjoy! I'm so excited to see what you see.

  8. This was so great! Not only to see what it’s like in such an amazing country, but to have a long vlog from you guys 😊❤ Always love them! What an amazing experience you’ve had! X

  9. Wonderful !!!!!! So much fun seeing you and Kristen vlogging and taking a vacation trip again Cory!!!!!! Really enjoyed this first installment and looking forward to your next!!!!!!

  10. I miss Japan.
    Stayed at the same hotel.
    Challenge for you if you get time…
    What convenience store has the best egg sandwich.
    Lawson,
    Family Mart
    Or
    Seven eleven….

  11. Epic games asked you to speak at a conference, yeah ok. I'll believe it when I see it.

  12. Nice to see a longer vlog from you ….The trees in the park will absorb a lot of the sound

  13. It's so good to see you both again! Hope you have a great time overseas

  14. Thank you so much for giving me an hour vacation, would be so fun to experience irl too! 😃❤

  15. One phrase I've kept in my head is (roughly) Nihon Go Ha Hanasemasen. Which apparently means "I cannot speak Japanese" which I figured would come in handy if my pale as hell freckly skin isn't enough of a giveaway.

  16. always happy seeing another vlog from you two! I already wanted to go to Japan and this just makes me want to go even more. I believe part of why its so quiet is that they have slower speed limits with smaller vehicles that leads to a lot lower road noise. plus with the kei vehicles class having a limit on how much power they make

  17. Google Maps does have an option to download entire areas roughly up to the size of an entire county.

  18. I’ve always wanted to visit Japan someday! I’ve heard about so many cool places to go and merchandise to buy! There’s one small problem for me… I’m a VERY picky eater. Sure, there’s still a big difference between Disney World’s Epcot version of the Japanese snacks at the shop and in the real Japan, but I still feel really bad for my super-picky eater traits.

  19. this vlog was so so nostalgic. thanks for sharing this little piece of your life with us

  20. I could swear you had went to Japan and even learned a few sentences on the flight, was that Korea? God it's been so long, great to see you uploading!

  21. Great vlog Corey, as everyone else here we love seeing your personality in a format like this, so thanks a lot for making and uploading it (even if you only did it for yourself lol) about the cold things at the convenient store, you can ask at the counter to warm it up for you, they got microwaves there as people often eat those things there or on the go so you don’t need to warm it up at home 😉😉

  22. Thank you for showing us Tokyo! My husband and I (also living in Tulsa) were just talking about going on a trip to Japan a couple of days ago!
    Also, Singapore is lovely! I recommend having a boba tea- best in the world! 😊

  23. What a great vlog and lovely to see Kristen! Japan looks so cool. They do seem really respectful and traditional and everything looks ascetically pleasing.

  24. Reminds me of the old dude like hella days! Love seeing you vlogging like this again 🙂

  25. Oh my goodness! So glad y’all are vlogging this. Missed you and kristen so much!! Aaand it’s an hour long?! !!!!!!!!! And, it’s a place I’ve never been but always wanted to visit. Awesome!!!!!!! Thank you!!!
