Loves these videos man. From the bottom of my heart, Thank You. I've been for the last two years digging in hard to learn Japanese. At this point in time I am almost done with n2. Sadly I cannot afford to go or exchange in Japan, so until I get the resources these videos really help share the experience and provides some good recommendations on where to go when I DO have to resources. Keep making videos, -A random guy on the Internet
you're videos, or should i say documentaries are very informative. thank you for sharing and helping us understand the japanese culture, festivities, and their ways. i just love watching you're documentaries...very professionally done!
you are very lucky. I am a High school student at the moment so I don't see any chance of going anytime soon, unfortunately. Have fun and Enjoy, once March comes by.
Hey John! I'm so happy your channel has EXPLODED with subscribers! It's insane. 🎉 I just wanted to ask if you're ever going to do a video on Dance Dance Revolution (DDR) clubs/parties like you did the anime music nightlife? I love DDR haha. Stay safe! 💕
I don’t know much about Japan, going to school 🏫 they don’t teach you about Japan i learned more about America..,watching your channel has taught me so much.. you immerse yourself into the culture learning more and more I’m so glad I subscribed
+Domelgaming it was (and still is) traditionally the sacred symbol for good luck in Hinduism and Buddhism and the likes. Before WW1 Europe and then LATER the Nazi party took the mirrored version of it to represent them.
And I love how John edited this, to show the small child flicking his wrists right before showing the elderly lady. It shows that that people of all ages love their festival and will take part!
Even tho i give this channel a hard time...it is one of the better.. Japan from a western perspective, channels on this website...and its basically completely produced by one dude...thats pretty impressive regardless of its your style or not.
Oh woah! The otsuka art museum is so cool!! It seems super educational, and I wish there's something similar like that in the US where kids and adults alike could touch the art! :) Woah, those dances looks like super quad/glut workouts! The men's squat and the women's tiptoe. Did you eventually end up joining the dance? Looks like so much fun and energy. How long does the festival last? Is it only one day of the year?
it seems to me that the shape of the straw hat is specific because of the hand movements during the dance. It would be difficult for them to do that movement with their hands if the hat was round.
sin duda este es uno de tus mejores vídeos, espero algún día puedas colocar subtitulos en español y así los pueda disfrutar con toda mi familia, saludos desde villahermosa tabasco en mexico.
徳島の阿波おどりです！Awa odori is really beautiful no matter how many times I see it.The festivals are held at parks, gardens, shrines and temples during Obon.This is a local tourism appeal, but it is also a culture of memorial service for ancestors.
Dancing is so universal~ What an amazing part of the Japanese culture!!! To be greeted with a bunch of cultural dances would be such an experience! Thanks for sharing!
ohhh! I understand better the festival scene in Pompoko, where at one point there is such dancers! I was always curious about it! Thanks for the video!
Cool vid once again, John. That 360 camera is going to be put to good use. For future episodes, how about showing us your favorite izakaya or going to a sumo match?
Have you heard of the Toei Hero Museuem ? Aka "Toei Hero World" ? If so, and if you don't take request that's fine, no problem but if you do, can you make a video on that place ?
ONLY in JAPAN I'm very glad to hear that you have heard of cat island! I have always wanted to go to Japan but I sadly can not... But it would be amazing if you made a video on the subject. I have also heard of a place called fox village, all the foxes there are actually very nice of from what I've heard... But thank you for the reply!
Wonderful topic! I think mochi is famous at new years and I need some cultural images to use for the video. Let's try to make something on it in January. What about mochi is interesting to you and why would you like to see this episode? -john
i love the traditional matsuri, in 2018, i,'ve been to tokushima to join awa odori, so nice experience

+Domelgaming it was (and still is) traditionally the sacred symbol for good luck in Hinduism and Buddhism and the likes. Before WW1 Europe and then LATER the Nazi party took the mirrored version of it to represent them.
I'm super excited I got to catch this right when it was released!!!!
That old lady @ 7:13 with purple coloured hair. Pretty awesome haha. Great video
And I love how John edited this, to show the small child flicking his wrists right before showing the elderly lady. It shows that that people of all ages love their festival and will take part!

Do the amigasa hats have any specefic purpose or are they just for fashion?
The guys costumes reminds me of Happosai in anime Ranma.
BTW,Those straw hats are supposed to be representations of the cross section of a sudachi fruit found in Tokushima
