Your videos are always lovely to watch

“A privilege that comes at a cost”

congrats on starting a new adventure, mr dontae!! i believe in you maneeee. new is very daunting (esp in a secondary language) but new is kinda fun ive always thought of anxiety and excitement in the same side of the emotional spectrum, just depends on if you view it more positive or negative. confidence! optimism! easier said than done tho haha. you knocked the first week out and have clear ideas of how to adapt and grow. to me that sounds exciting 😈 hope to hear more about it in the future

YOU MADE IT! this is so cool to see because we were classmates!! congrats

Bruh, this was a great opinion piece, and you made some great points. Trust and believe, living in the States with a level head, shows me that the U.S. is hella imperfect. I believe dialog like this helps opens eyes and hearts to a new path of thinking, if they are willing to listen. Good to see a new video from you, Dontae. Keep them coming!👍🏿

great video. always thought your place in the background of your vids looked cozy; you must be a pretty good interior designer

Love this. Just discovered your channel after visiting Japan for the first time 3 weeks ago. I am a teacher as well, and I love seeing you teach in Japan. Sort of a dream for me.

It's been a while since I watched a dontae video and the qualities are getting better and better. University has been tough but the goal and the destination are still clear in my mind. Keep up the awesome videos! With more resilience and hard work, I'll be going to where I want to be sooner or later.

2:08 'what changes would necessitate me being a good x' it could be father, student, or businessperson. i really like that reverse goal setting or inquiring. nice one dontae!

didactic and dynamic

As a young college student. I sometimes struggle with the discipline aspect of learning. And I want to learn how to be a great leader to help the people around me if I ever have to. Watching your Videos remind me Of my Grandfather, Who had an old 1970s soul brother vibe. Your videos are an inspiration to keep going. So I wanted to say thank you i wish we had more teachers like you in the states.

“Are you dead yet? No? Then you have another chance.” Definitely going to use that from now on. As always, love witnessing your new content 👍

Thanks to all of the leaders I had in the military that will live on through my students, as everything you have taught me is somehow passed on to them. You'll never know how much you have helped me.

Thanks for sharing this part of your journey. I connected to several parts. I use to say, "If I have experience in anything, it's starting over." Yet in reality, it's all been a continuation. The visual journal of my life would look like a kaleidoscope. Many parts, but one image. I love and miss you, son! ✌🏾🖤👑

I want the relationships video lol

“Change is my home”

Man life gets at people many times that ruin people’s plans. Anyways nice seeing you again and still at it in Japan.

先生だ！！！！！最高の先生ですよ！

I’m watching this a year late. I wanted to add that even if you’ve gotten some pushback, it’s so important to be honest and show that the grass isn’t always greener on the other side. It’s a question of what kinds of problems you’re willing to live with. We can’t live life only with rose colored glasses.

2:56 - I fully agree with you on this. Really, I agree with every point you’ve made. I’ve been doing language and cultural exchange. I had someone tell me this week that we are incapable of being peaceful because we aren’t homogenous. I was so insulted. I’m going to use many of these points. 😂

猫ちゃんかわいい！

so sick! i can’t wait to watch this later. i’m a teacher in the United States. i have been looking at videos that depict individual experiences of people living/teaching in Japan. a lot to think about! but i immediately want to watch this one because MCR is my favorite band of all time! your other videos are great and i have a good time watching them. thank you.

I feel the same way about beeches. There is a level of freedom associated with walking or laying in the sand. That island looks like a peaceful journey . ✌🏾🖤👑

If you're watching this in the summer, how has your summer been? If it's not summer, would you like to explore any of the smaller islands in Japan?

DECEMBER?? 何それ… hope you can get it moved up. if not, im sure you got it first try 🫡 its jus driving yeah 🤷🏽 i believe in your skills n im sure you do too

AYYY that's awesome, you're from Texas too!

Good luck brother

Mamba mentality!! I know how you feel, it’s weird switching from “how can I help my team succeed” to “I’m better than all of the competition”

Real talk. Especially the point in the first half about knowing your boundaries and setting those limits for yourselves. Better take note! (Good job making that point.) On another note: Thank you so much for bringing us OG Japan Expats up-to-date on how Japanese companies have changed over the past decades.

Yes, Ibaraki was the first place I lived in, in Japan - in 1984! I plan to visit again soon and it has a special place in my heart.

I really enjoyed your lesson! You're really great at connecting with the kids. Did you ever have any issues with nervousness when teaching? How long did it take to become comfortable in the classroom?

This has to be your best shooting yet, really well framed. Great to see us creating art like this… and this part 2:40 is gonna stick in my mind for a while lol

I love the rain. The word Torrent reminded me of the horse you get to ride in Elden Ring lol

I watched this entire episode imagining it in an animated format. It works both ways!

I really enjoyed this episode! I think what I love most is the realization that with each video that you post, you allow us an opportunity to witness the different facets of your perspective. Thanks for that. **And rainy days are the favorite, of course!

Do you enjoy the rainy days?

Hi! May i ask how much is a ragdoll in japan? Thank u

洋服は、カッコいいだよ！

Love all the plants in the bedroom, gives it a vibe. I enjoyed the all Japanese style as well.

So, this was much harder than I originally thought. The worst part was the subtitles. It was a technical nightmare for the first video. I wish I could just pay for it, but that defeats the point of practicing this and personalizing my story. My words, My way, and all of my mistakes. What did you think? だから、これは当初考えていたよりもずっと大変だった。一番ひどかったのは、字幕をつけることでした。最初のビデオでは技術的に悪夢のようでした。お金を払えばいいのですが、それではこれを実践して自分のストーリーをパーソナライズするという意味がなくなってしまいます。私の言葉、私のやり方、そして私のすべての間違い。

Man you need some bigger chunks of pineapples lol. Amazing vid. ❤ TY is the spot!!!!!!! Love that place . Hope you get better with the memory and all that Jazz. Keep pushing!!!!

Good to see this week's diary! I love the rainy weather, both staying in and sometimes going out in it; puts a twist on the everyday environment we live in and a different sense in the air. I love the fashion sense you have and I recently moved to New Mexico for a new job too as a little update from my life! Been looking forward to playing the new Zelda game; juuust after I beat Hogwarts first though. That and Elden Ring make for very cozy staying-in games.

Nice video 💙 That dark chocolate cake 🖤🤎🖤
