Hi, I'm Tim - in this video essay, we analyze the film Perfect Days - in the hopes of better understanding the life philosophy of its main character, Hirayama.

I love u❤
Hi uncultured Tim😊

🥲🥲
this was such a profound analysis of the movie; it felt so meditative. thank you so much for making this video. i cannot emphasize enough how important it is to me that the feelings i couldnt articulate was given life by you. i appreciate u
@@pat4742 Thanks to you as well, appreciate you too! 🤝
Looks like it was a great trip! I feel like Paris would also be more my cup of tea too, Rome seems hectic...Keen for the bigger and better Tim Thoughts in 2025!
@@ezy_konbini Yeah I definitely think you'd enjoy Paris! It has that melting pot, modern culture city vibe for sure. Wide diversity of foods and people and plenty to do and see! 2025 gonna be a big year for all of us. Big ups to the konbini fam too! 🤝 🙌
Thanks for making such a masterpiece. Kudos!!
❤
Wow, this Europe video was so insightful! In Argentina, the coffee ☕☕☕experience is similar to Italy because of our Italian heritage.
@@carola.sayago Ooh that is very interesting! Do you also have standing coffee bars in Argentina?
I loved this movie :)
I haven't seen the movie, but you video, It was a movie! Excelente trabajo parcero!
@@ernestosoto7616 Thank you! Would definitely recommend checking out the movie sometime too 🙂
The philosophy is very similar to Prisoners
I really love this analysis. Sometimes, I forget the lessons this movie taught me. I often feel overwhelmed by things I can’t control, like the past, the future, or feelings of loneliness and anger. I don’t always know how to deal with these emotions, but Hirayama’s character gives me a sense of peace and balance in my life So thanks a lot for remind me these and make a excellent video in my opinion.
@@SantiagoRodriguez-e2n Thank you for sharing as well. We can definitely all use a reminder from time to time, to be present 🙂
🙏Thank You for these deep thoughts about the movie, Perfect Days and Hirayama's lifestyle conquered me at first glance
Really enjoyed the video, brilliantly made! I'm looking to make a visual essay on a film soon for college, can I just ask how you go about getting such high-quality clips of the film for the videos?
@@Dante.cl_ Thanks, appreciate it! There are programs that can take a blu-ray source disk and copy the video files to desktop for editing 🙂
I really enjoyed watching Perfect Days. I never knew these Japanese words mushin and komorebi could encapsulate the experience of life. It’s an art form to pay attention to paying attention. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and making this video!
Hi Tim, super nice clip! We lived for +10 years in Fukuoka and often went to family restaurants among other types of restos. Yes, yoshoku/wafu and itameshi are inspired by other cuisines, but still very Japanese in my book, I keep them separated from their European dishes. The hamburger - hambagu - hambraga, a soft pan steak with sauce, is nothing close to an American hamburger and there is no bun, but other side dishes. The doria bolognese is rice with an italian sauce gratinated. At Sayzeria it is very good and cheap. Japanese curry is totally different from the Indian and Seychelles curries I cook at home, it is another animal completely, but delicious. Now I am lucky I can buy S&B Japanese curry roux here in Romania, it is hard to live without Japanese curry. Cocos Curry was my fav in Japan, good smell, good curry! Especially when they sometimes had keema curry with minced meat. Then tonkatsu with only sauce or curry sauce was a fav in family restos. Onion soup is also a hit and fried spinach with some smoked pork and creamy corn soup with garlic bread. But the menus are big! So much to choose from as you say and a very relaxed atmosphere, in an afternoon some kids may be a bit noisy, but no stress. Some 15 years ago the drink bar was included in the price, not anymore, but still cheap. Royal Host originated in Kyushu, so as Ichiran ramen did, we lived next to it´s old HQs in Nakasu, sometimes we could smell it even it the 7th floor :-)) Many other favourite restos and places in Japan, but not in the scope of this clip. Thank you and arigato!
@@mikaellarsson7932 Amazing, thanks for sharing your story! It must have been so interesting to live in Japan for such an extended period of time. I hope that I too, may one day have such an experience! I also love Coco curry! I've tried many different Japanese curry from a variety of places, but Coco curry will always have a special place in my heart. Good smell, good curry indeed! 🍛 😋
Thanks.. A masterpiece of a film.. Totally inspirational
@@derekbeddow2500 Agreed!
Others could be experiencing life their own way and still finding it fulfilling. If only one way is a better living, life would be boring. Different is a better word than Better.
@@fastforwardedlife Couldn't agree with you more!
Hey I just wanted to say a big thank you for putting this video together, about a film that I really love. I appreciate all the work you have put in, to produce this thoughtful, calm and overall marvelous video, it’s one that I come back to again and again, especially as I walk my local streets during dusk. Keep it up 👍
@@MatthewBoland_Melb Much appreciated - honestly it's connections like this that make the whole thing feel worthwhile. Hope you are well, cheers! 🙂
Leaving this comment for me to watch this video in the future.
hey tim! i’m a new subscriber, just wanted to say thank you for making cool videos and being a kind soul 😊

Many thanks 🤝
今度は今度。今は今
Awesome video! Making videos about only just one topic would skyrocket your subscribers. Please consider that. I hope you're gonna accomplish what you want.
Thanks! It's definitely something I've considered at length, and have even discussed (probably more than necessary) on the channel. tl;dw: It's the variety of content and passion for creation that fuels my ability to make videos. I believe if I only tackle one topic I will burn out sooner than later, and will lose that creative spark. (also the video essays are extremely taxing and I just can't focus on that full time) I do appreciate your insights though. Welcome to the channel 🙂 🤝
Been a bit since I’ve been to the channel, but in that time, I’ve seen BoJack Horseman. This was an incredibly well put together essay that well reflected the show, I can expect no less from the master Tim!
@@fritski2381 Many thanks, always happy to hear from you. Hope all is well! 🤝
I love the neatness of the little shops, and the calmness of a town beside a lake. Looks like a lovely day-trip :) Thanks for another great tour Tim!
@@Ciuin_Sam yep full of absolutely beautiful aesthetics. Super calming and relaxing, a wonderful place to relax 🙂
"Life is ephemeral, fleeting. Here one moment gone the next, an eternal dance of lights and shadow. As much as we try to understand it, to succeed at its game suffering inevitability arises. As much as we strive for happiness we find depression as much as we try to better ourselves we find our flaws. Each attempt at enlightenment cast a long shadow and endless procession of that seems to take us nowhere other than where we already are." Beautifully said❣️. Loved the video Tim❤️. People who liked Perfect days can also watch a Tamil movie called "KADAISI VIVASAYI" it also gives you a meditative experience.
@@harik171 Thank you for the kind words and suggestion! I know people commonly ask for similar movies. I will have to check this out myself as well. Cheers! 🍻
@@TimThoughts what happened to this video?
@@dhananjay-k7g unfortunately it was copyright blocked. So it's allowed to remain up on UA-cam for people to view it, but I don't get paid at all for it 😔 But ya know, it is what it is - at least people can still watch it!
Routine eludes me. Where I'm at now is a bit chaotic, just trying to get through the day without cracking
Sometimes that's all we can do. Hoping things turn around for you soon, friend 🤝
@@TimThoughts thank you
Thank you Tim 🍻
Right back at ya! 🍻
11 minutes with absolutely no value other than wasting the listener's time..
@@blazingamr In this life, we only have so much time. And yet - you spend these precious few moments spreading hatred and sadness. I pity the experiences that have led to these choices and truly hope you may one day find happiness yourself.
Please give me similar movies name
Thanks, thank you so much for making this video. I will live everyday present and try to do what I want and can, i’m 14 so..
Feel
I fcried so hard when I first saw this movie and crying again too 😭😭 it just illustrates so well how we don’t need too much in life and we don’t need to be in a constant state of… suffering. Life is neutral and life is inside and out not in the internet and mind…. Thank you 2 hours ago I was just stressed and overwhelmed about having to make money and start a business when I turn 15 because of fear of the future and wanting to live well once I turn rich, but.. I can live nicely now, life is life… I just want to live and accept, yes, feel, but don’t fall in depression… than you so much
@@Sofianoon I'm glad you were able to take away such an insightful message from this film. You are still so young and have so much life ahead of you! Please do continue to take each moment as it comes and just focus on living life to the fullest in the ways that work best for you. A pleasure to meet and speak with you, welcome to the channel! 🤝
Love the chill vibes in this video!

Hello all! I've wanted to share an update with everyone and finally realized - a comment here is probably the best place! So here goes: It's been a while since my last video and various things have happened (biggest one was falling victim to covid 😷 ) but I'm feeling well now and ready for the upcoming trip to Europe! The rest deals with some copyright issues (yes, again...) which I will likely address in an upcoming video. In any case, here is the latest japan vlog! This finally wraps up all of the major trips we took from our first japan trip (there are a couple little tokyo day trips I may fit in somehow later). It's a fun and casual vlog, and I personally think the editing and aesthetics are really leveling up in the more recent vlogs (even if the view count doesn't particularly reflect that 😅 ) I hope you all enjoy this latest episode of tim in japan! (p.s. I would really appreciate any and all likes and comments to appease the algorithm gods) 🙏 p.p.s - if you want to follow along realtime on my Europe trip, check out my upcoming instagram stories! instagram.com/timtographer/)
