I’m so glad to hear you enjoyed the tour! I agree with you on all points. I feel very fortunate to have found this apartment. 🤗 Thank you so much for stopping by to watch, Jeanne! 🥰❤️
we would live there in a heartbeat!!! what an incredible layout and so much light! also you're location is perfect! Can't get over that view of Mt Fuji too!
Totally agree with all points! The layout makes the space so usable. The natural light really does it for me. And the plants love it! And the view of Mt. Fuji is an incredible bonus. Thank you so much for stopping by to watch. Happy to have you here! 🥰🤗❤️
I agree, the windows and the light are great. I also like the bedroom with those sliding doors. Very practical. Lovely apartment. I would love living there.
I love your apartment! Yes 1,450 a month is a great deal for your 1 bedroom Beautiful apartment!! I pay 3,000 for a 2 bedroom apartment in NY. I think 🤔 I’m moving there ! 🤣 Thanks for sharing!
Janine! Totally agree with you. I think $1450 is very reasonable. $3k/mo?!? Whoa. 😦Do you live in the city, or outside of the city? Thank you so much for stopping by and watching. I really appreciate you.🥰
Wow! That's very cool of you to say! I really enjoy this space. The layout, the design, and all the natural light. Thank you much for stopping by to watch. I really appreciate you being here. 🥰
It feels refreshing to live there. The wood and plants make the apartment feel warm and cozy. The dining table attached to the kitchen island is a good idea 👍🏼
You noticed all the best parts of the apartment. 🤗 The built-in dining room table is one of my favorite features. We use it everyday. And all of the plants do add to the coziness and warmth. Thank you so much for watching! I’m really glad you enjoyed it. 🥰❤️
Thank you for saying so! We really enjoy this apartment. At night it is so cozy. Especially on the cooler evenings when we have the sliding glass doors open and the lights dimmed low. I appreciate you stopping by to watch! 🤗🥰❤️
So glad to hear it! We really enjoy this space. And, you’re right, it does seem to have different areas of interest. It’s the layout! And the natural light. Thank you so much for stopping by to watch! 🤗🥰
I feel the same - so lucky! It’s quite unusual as most everything we saw was a bit smaller with not as much natural light. And the layout is really cool. Thanks for stopping by and watching! 🥰
Totally agree with you. I will say it does feel a bit cramped for two people whom are used to Western standards of size. But, def cozy and warm. Feels like a cocoon. Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for watching! 😎✌️
Sooo cozy. The natural light sealed the deal for us. We really enjoyed this apartment. Sadly, we no longer have it. But, we head back to Da Nang in 2 weeks. That apartment tour is also on my channel if you haven't already seen it. Thank you for watching! 🙂
Thank you all so much for stopping to tour my Tokyo apartment! Check out my TikTok to tour my Da Nang, Vietnam apartment. So many apartment tours in Japan and Vietnam, as well as walking tours in Japan, Vietnam, Bhutan, Thailand, and Bhutan. 🙂
So glad you like it! 😊 Absolutely agree with you - the house is so comfortable. Feels like home feels. Thank you for stopping by to watch. I really appreciate it! 🤗🥰
Happy to hear you say so! I agree with you. 😊 We love this small apartment. The layout is quite useful, and the natural light makes it seem more spacious. Thank you much for stopping by to watch. I appreciate you being here. 🥰
Yes! The natural light really opens up the space. We enjoy this apartment, and we’re happy to hear you do, as well. 🤗 Thank you for stopping by to watch! 🥰❤️
😍❤Thank you much for saying so! Im happy to hear you like it. 😊 it’s such a fun apartment with a cool layout.I really appreciate you stopping by to watch. Thanks! 🤗🥰
Agreed! I’m glad you like it. So many we saw were quite small, a little dark inside, and the layout was choppy. We really enjoy this space. Thank you for watching! 🤗
So glad you enjoyed, Mohamed! That view really is cool. In the mornings, we can see Mt Fuji quite clearly, and then in the evenings the sun sets behind the mountain and we can see the shadow. 🥰 Thank you much for stopping by to watch. I really do appreciate you being here.
This is amazing. I’ve been thinking about moving to Tokyo, and a layout like this makes even the small apartments work super well. Love it. How many Square Meters is it?
Do it! The sooner you move, the longer you'll be here. The layout is incredible. One of the best we saw during our search. Especially the windows on 3 sides makes it feel much bigger. I'd say it's probably right around 39m2.
Glad you enjoyed! I agree - it’s quite comfortable. And, yeah, small spaces don’t work for me unless they are clean. ✨Thanks for watching. I really appreciate it.
Really nice apartment and very well laid out. You asked if your rent was reasonable? I'd say so. I live in the Atlanta market and I've seen efficiency apartments smaller than yours going for over $2k/month so ... well done! So, for an apartment in Tokyo, I think you've done really well.
Thank you much for your kind words! I really appreciate you stopping by to watch. 🥰❤️ I was stoked about the price. Others have said it is spendy, but, like you said, it’s $2k/mo for a studio in a larger city in the US. To be in Tokyo, in Shimokitazawa, for $1450?! I feel really lucky. Thanks again for your cool comment. 😎
Thank you for saying so, Colleen! I can’t disagree with you as I am a bit partial. 😊 I really do enjoy this apartment. I appreciate you stopping by to watch, and for your nice comment. 🤗🥰
I really love those doors. I mean, they’re just sliding doors. But I rarely see them in this type of usage. Creating the bedroom with the doors was an awesome idea. Thank you so much for stopping by to watch, and to comment. I really appreciate you being here. 😊🤗🥰
Aileen!! Thank you for checking out my UA-cam page. 🥰 And for watching my live stream. I’m so happy to hear you enjoy them. Will definitely see you in the next one! 🤗❤️
Michael! How are you doing, buddy? I will be on the lookout to show you a Bonsai tree. Shan says “Hi” to you. The Đà Nẵng apartment really is cool! And the pool is just fantastic. Thank you so much for stopping by my UA-cam channel. Really appreciate you being here! 🤗🙂
Totally agree. Incredibly cozy. At night, when the weather is cooler, we open the sliding doors and just chill on the couch. Feels like we’re the only people in the planet. Thanks for watching, my friend! 🤗
Not a bad apartment, yeah?? We really enjoy this space. Compared to other properties we toured, this one was a no-brainer! Thanks for watching! I appreciate it. 🤗🥰
Yes! The natural light really opens up the space and makes it feel much bigger. And it is a very usable layout. Thank you much for stopping by and watching. I really do appreciate it! 🤗🥰
I know, right?! And no shared with walls with any neighbors. The windows really open up the space. On cooler days/nights we open up the sliding doors and it creates a nice breeze. Thank you so much for watching! I really appreciate you. 🤗🥰
Our rent is $1450/mo, including all utilities. This one is a longterm rental. If you're looking for a short-term rental, check out ModernLivingJapan.com. Lot of options at all price points. Thanks for watching! 😎
Happy to hear you like it! We absolutely love this space. We are always looking for a new apartment (because it’s an addiction 😂), but none compare. Thank you for watching! I really appreciate it. 🤗
Hey Bud, I'm a Creative Director shooting a UA-cam documentary on Japan's housing, is there any way I could contact you about possibly showing one of this cool properties? Thanks in advance!
I love your apartment, definitely not was I was expecting when you opened the door into the main living space. I’d definitely live there and it seems like a good price for the amount of space you have.
So happy to hear it! Same thing happened to me when I first walked in. I was definitely not expecting that apartment to be behind that door. 😂 I agree with you - I feel it's a good price for the space, layout, and location. Thank you so much for stopping by to watch and to share your comment. I really appreciate it. 🥰
Thank you much! 🤗 Seriously? 2nd-hand shops, especially your local ward resale centers. But, don't forget Mercari, which is quite popular here. The bed is actually just 4 storage boxes. The bed sits on top with a system from IKEA.
😮 Thank you for letting me know! I don't think I ever even considered this possibility. You just created a new habit for me. I appreciate the advice, and you stopping by to watch.
Hey you! Thank you for checking out the apartment tour. I really appreciate you being here. 🥰 Next week we’ll be in Vietnam, so new vids from the beach. ☀️🌊⛱️
Yeeees! First time I see someone actually having soap placed at their toilet-sink :D I was asking myself alllll the time why there is only water and no one uses soap :O ....
☺️🤗 Yay! Glad we were the ones. Honestly, the faucet should automatically dispense soap. It wouldn’t hurt the toilet, and it’s one less thing for everyone to touch. 🙂 Thank you so much for watching! I really appreciate it. 🤗🥰
The only closet in the apartment is the door at the foot of the bed. Clothes are also stored in the baskets under the bed. 🙂 Thank you for stopping by to watch! 🤗
Very true - you need a little bit of cash. But most of your expenses will be from the flight. I've seen studio apartments as low as $180/mo. If you make a lot of your own meals, ride your bike and take the trains, you could live very affordably. Thank you for watching! I really appreciate it. 🥰
Absolutely agree with you! Many people have told me it's too expensive for the space. But I feel it's an incredible deal. And the location is the best. Shimokita is such a cool neighborhood. Thank you for stopping by to watch. I really appreciate you being here. 🥰
Oh, wow! You have a lot of books, huh? Maybe you could line the whole wall with books - all the way up to the ceiling. And it would look super cool! Thank you for stopping by to watch. 🤗🥰❤️
It's a pretty cool apartment, yeah? I feel really lucky to have found it. We looked at so many different places, but this one stood out. Thank you much for stopping by to watch. I really appreciate you being here. ☺🥰
wow i liked the apartment so much, also liked the view but too many plants in the ground of balcony, it can be organized .in total i wish i live there..Fatma from Egypt
Thank you for saying so! I’m glad you liked it. And, yes, you’re right. There are quite a few plants on the balcony. Makes it a bit difficult to go out. Thank you for your nice comment, and for watching! ❤️
We absolutely, without question, overpay. So your thinking is correct. But we didn’t even second-guess the rate. After 2 months of searching, when we saw this one, we didn’t hesitate. Plus, we were living in a hotel, at the time. Anything was cheaper! 😂 But we do love this space. And the Shimokita location. 😍
Wow... that actually looks pretty cool. I've watched loads of "Apartments in Japan" vids, and I think I could actually get into living in this one. Not too sure there's enough room for my 1,000 vinyl albums though! 🧿😢
I’m glad to hear you like it! This one was so different than most of them we toured. Has a lot of character and its own vibe. Def not enough room for 1000 albums! 😅 But, maybe? 🤔
@@BudCowmen I toyed with the idea of going to Japan when I was younger, but it never happened. In some vids I've watched, the apartments are so tiny! I'd need to rent an extra one just for my records!
@@brucster99b2 😂🤣 Honestly, it's not a bad idea. I do a lot of live TikTok tours walking throughout Tokyo. In those tours, I often walk past real estate offices where they post available apartments with the asking price. We've seen so many apartments sub-$300/mo. You could very well live in one studio, and rent out the one next door for your records and player!
@@BudCowmen If only... I'm way too old now for upping sticks. I saw one guy looking at $200 places, and OMG..., they were bad! Plus, I don't think my heart could handle all those pretty Japanese girls!! 🤤🩺
@@brucster99b2 Hahaha! Man, that makes me laugh. Let me tell you - they are too pretty. And smart. And kind. 😍But, yeah, the $200 places aren't the fanciest. They get the job done, but long way to move to get settled in.
lollllllllllllllllll funny how you called out my ocd self haha well yes you gotta wash handssssssssss, i wasnt gonna comment you to do so but you called me out first so yes, you brought this upon yourself haha
😂🤣 You are correct; I did. Everyone always comments about me touching things and then not washing hands. So figured I would just mention it, upfront. I’ll go wash my hands now. 👏🤗
So glad to hear you like it! I think it's about 490/SqFt (45 square meters). It's not a huge apartment, but feels much bigger because of the layout and windows. Thank you for stopping by to watch! 🥰
It's absolutely perfect for one person. My wife and I both stay in this one together, and it works out pretty well. But definitely a bit cramped, at times. Especially when we're getting ready to head out for the day and we both need to brush our teeth, or get our clothes out, et cetera. It's worth the try! Thanks for stopping by to watch! I really appreciate it. 🥰
You probably wouldn’t believe me if I told you . . . Craigslist. No kidding. Nobody uses Craigslist in Tokyo, so this apartment was just sitting there waiting to be leased. 😮
@@TheAliceCafe 😂 Craigslist! There were only like 6 apartments posted and this was one of them. So wouldn't be my recommended source of apartments. Honestly, in my experience, scamming isn't really a thing throughout Japan, so I never worry about being hustled. In other countries? Absolutely! But not in Japan.
That’s very cool of you to say. 😎. I would actually really enjoy that type of gig. As you can hear, I love to talk. 😂 It’s the only thing, of which, I have any talent. I appreciate you watching!
Its a very nice Apartment but i always wonder what kind of income u guys have to afford a 1500 rent a month alone :D My salary is like 2200 a month which is average in my country.
$2200/mo is a good salary! Everything is relative to your country. We own businesses in the US, so we’re paid in USD. Thank you for watching! I really appreciate it. 🤗😎✌️
$1450/mo all-in! I feel like it’s a really good price for the space. Especially in this location. The layout and natural light really do it for me. I really appreciate you stopping by to watch! 🤗🥰
Yeah, certainly not for all budgets. It's a bit pricey, as it is. But, we were quite pleased to have found this one in an area that we really enjoy. Thank you for watching! Glad to hear you enjoyed it.
@@BudCowmen Yeah, I mean that's my personal opinion, if you like it and 1.5k is fine to you that's great. If my income would be 5k for example, I wouldn't hesitate either.
@@OnigiriKaizoku Agreed. We sometimes feel we pay too much for this apartment. But the location makes up for it. And when we rented it, we were living in a small hotel because we couldn’t find an apartment. They get rented very quickly. So, here we are. 😂
You're not the only one! I'm a fast talker. I do have some silent walking tours in Tokyo posted here to UA-cam. Thank you for stopping by to watch and to comment. I really do appreciate it! 🥰
@@pillepolle3122 😂 No! Not at all. That's a good point to make. Actually, I first published this video on my TikTok where I asked the viewers what the name was because I had no idea. That's the only reason I know the name.
😂 Well, if it makes you feel any better, I no longer have this apartment. Sadly, the landlord wanted it back. Can't blame them. Thank you for stopping by to watch!
@@Lee54. Gotcha. Yeah, this one is certainly a bit more expensive than many 1-bed apartments in Tokyo. We saw some nice studios at $400/mo, and even a few near Koenji that were $180/mo!
@@Lee54. So glad you enjoy the Vietnam live streams, Lee! Thank you for stopping in and hanging out. Totally agree with you - Vietnam is more my price range, too. Vietnam has so much value to offer. Will probably be live in the morning, as long as it isn't raining. Hop to see you there!
...24 seconds... I prefer the silent vlogs of Japanese and South Korean content creators... I am not sure why cc's from the states feel the need to blather on in the manner of a used automobile shill...24 seconds and removed from my watched library...
😂 Absolutely not for everyone's taste. That's ok! Plenty on UA-cam for everyone's preferences. Thank you for stopping by, though. I really do appreciate the view! 🤗
This is a VERY nice apartment, with a terrific view, and even a little outdoor space. I am so envious!
I’m so glad to hear you enjoyed the tour! I agree with you on all points. I feel very fortunate to have found this apartment. 🤗 Thank you so much for stopping by to watch, Jeanne! 🥰❤️
we would live there in a heartbeat!!! what an incredible layout and so much light! also you're location is perfect! Can't get over that view of Mt Fuji too!

This is one of the nicest apartments I've ever seen regardless of size.
Wow! That's very cool of you to say! I really enjoy this space. The layout, the design, and all the natural light. Thank you much for stopping by to watch. I really appreciate you being here. 🥰
3:50 very cute sideboard. Love it 😍
A sideboard! That’s what it’s called. I keep calling it a hutch. Thank you for sharing the name. And for watching my vids! That’s 2 for you. 🥰
This is such a cool apartment! Very fortunate
I do feel very fortunate. So glad to hear you like it! Thank you so much for stopping by and watching. I really do appreciate you being here. 🥰
It feels refreshing to live there. The wood and plants make the apartment feel warm and cozy. The dining table attached to the kitchen island is a good idea 👍🏼
You noticed all the best parts of the apartment. 🤗 The built-in dining room table is one of my favorite features. We use it everyday. And all of the plants do add to the coziness and warmth. Thank you so much for watching! I’m really glad you enjoyed it. 🥰❤️
This apartment it’s so cozy!
Thank you for saying so! We really enjoy this apartment. At night it is so cozy. Especially on the cooler evenings when we have the sliding glass doors open and the lights dimmed low. I appreciate you stopping by to watch! 🤗🥰❤️
Love your apartment and how you've decorated it! Very soothing but many points of interest.
So glad to hear it! We really enjoy this space. And, you’re right, it does seem to have different areas of interest. It’s the layout! And the natural light. Thank you so much for stopping by to watch! 🤗🥰
Shimokitazawa is the best neighborhood you could live in.
Chilled, fashionable and trendy.
Absolutely agree. We really enjoy Shimokita. So much to do and cool people around. Thanks for watching! I appreciate it. 🤗
What a lucky lucky find! This is so unusual. Very pretty and comfy.
I feel the same - so lucky! It’s quite unusual as most everything we saw was a bit smaller with not as much natural light. And the layout is really cool. Thanks for stopping by and watching! 🥰
Fantastic apartment, perfect for 1 person. Theres just something about japanese homes that warms my heart, they are always so cozy and warm.
Totally agree with you. I will say it does feel a bit cramped for two people whom are used to Western standards of size. But, def cozy and warm. Feels like a cocoon. Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for watching! 😎✌️
Waa so cozy i love everything about this and the natural lighting is insane
Sooo cozy. The natural light sealed the deal for us. We really enjoyed this apartment. Sadly, we no longer have it. But, we head back to Da Nang in 2 weeks. That apartment tour is also on my channel if you haven't already seen it. Thank you for watching! 🙂

It's a pretty cool apartment, yeah? I feel really lucky to have found it. We looked at so many different places, but this one stood out. Thank you much for stopping by to watch. I really appreciate you being here. ☺🥰
wow i liked the apartment so much, also liked the view but too many plants in the ground of balcony, it can be organized .in total i wish i live there..Fatma from Egypt
Thank you for saying so! I’m glad you liked it. And, yes, you’re right. There are quite a few plants on the balcony. Makes it a bit difficult to go out. Thank you for your nice comment, and for watching! ❤️
@@BudCowmen you are welcome sir,, and i appreciate your concern 🥰
$1,450 a month, sheesh. I thought it would be $950.
Great place though, the space is optimised very well.
We absolutely, without question, overpay. So your thinking is correct. But we didn’t even second-guess the rate. After 2 months of searching, when we saw this one, we didn’t hesitate. Plus, we were living in a hotel, at the time. Anything was cheaper! 😂 But we do love this space. And the Shimokita location. 😍
@@BudCowmen It's the nicest studio I've seen and yeah i'd die for living in Shimokitasawa
@@Toogoodxoxo Shimokita is a dream!
Wow... that actually looks pretty cool. I've watched loads of "Apartments in Japan" vids, and I think I could actually get into living in this one. Not too sure there's enough room for my 1,000 vinyl albums though! 🧿😢
I’m glad to hear you like it! This one was so different than most of them we toured. Has a lot of character and its own vibe. Def not enough room for 1000 albums! 😅 But, maybe? 🤔
@@BudCowmen I toyed with the idea of going to Japan when I was younger, but it never happened. In some vids I've watched, the apartments are so tiny! I'd need to rent an extra one just for my records!
@@brucster99b2 😂🤣 Honestly, it's not a bad idea. I do a lot of live TikTok tours walking throughout Tokyo. In those tours, I often walk past real estate offices where they post available apartments with the asking price. We've seen so many apartments sub-$300/mo. You could very well live in one studio, and rent out the one next door for your records and player!
@@BudCowmen If only... I'm way too old now for upping sticks. I saw one guy looking at $200 places, and OMG..., they were bad! Plus, I don't think my heart could handle all those pretty Japanese girls!! 🤤🩺
@@brucster99b2 Hahaha! Man, that makes me laugh. Let me tell you - they are too pretty. And smart. And kind. 😍But, yeah, the $200 places aren't the fanciest. They get the job done, but long way to move to get settled in.
lollllllllllllllllll funny how you called out my ocd self haha well yes you gotta wash handssssssssss, i wasnt gonna comment you to do so but you called me out first so yes, you brought this upon yourself haha
😂🤣 You are correct; I did. Everyone always comments about me touching things and then not washing hands. So figured I would just mention it, upfront. I’ll go wash my hands now. 👏🤗
Lovely apartment! How big is it?
So glad to hear you like it! I think it's about 490/SqFt (45 square meters). It's not a huge apartment, but feels much bigger because of the layout and windows. Thank you for stopping by to watch! 🥰
For one person it looks great, but two might be a little tight. But I’d be willing to try. 👍
It's absolutely perfect for one person. My wife and I both stay in this one together, and it works out pretty well. But definitely a bit cramped, at times. Especially when we're getting ready to head out for the day and we both need to brush our teeth, or get our clothes out, et cetera. It's worth the try! Thanks for stopping by to watch! I really appreciate it. 🥰
But where did you find this? :O
You probably wouldn’t believe me if I told you . . . Craigslist. No kidding. Nobody uses Craigslist in Tokyo, so this apartment was just sitting there waiting to be leased. 😮
Seriously? Craigslist? :O You're lucky! And you weren't afraid it could be a scam?
@@TheAliceCafe 😂 Craigslist! There were only like 6 apartments posted and this was one of them. So wouldn't be my recommended source of apartments. Honestly, in my experience, scamming isn't really a thing throughout Japan, so I never worry about being hustled. In other countries? Absolutely! But not in Japan.
You could be an announcer on PIR.
That’s very cool of you to say. 😎. I would actually really enjoy that type of gig. As you can hear, I love to talk. 😂 It’s the only thing, of which, I have any talent. I appreciate you watching!
Its a very nice Apartment but i always wonder what kind of income u guys have to afford a 1500 rent a month alone :D My salary is like 2200 a month which is average in my country.
$2200/mo is a good salary! Everything is relative to your country. We own businesses in the US, so we’re paid in USD. Thank you for watching! I really appreciate it. 🤗😎✌️
$1450?! im all in
$1450/mo all-in! I feel like it’s a really good price for the space. Especially in this location. The layout and natural light really do it for me. I really appreciate you stopping by to watch! 🤗🥰
A nice apartment but 1.5k is way too much for me, I wouldn't pay half of salary for an apartment
Yeah, certainly not for all budgets. It's a bit pricey, as it is. But, we were quite pleased to have found this one in an area that we really enjoy. Thank you for watching! Glad to hear you enjoyed it.
@@BudCowmen Yeah, I mean that's my personal opinion, if you like it and 1.5k is fine to you that's great. If my income would be 5k for example, I wouldn't hesitate either.
@@OnigiriKaizoku Agreed. We sometimes feel we pay too much for this apartment. But the location makes up for it. And when we rented it, we were living in a small hotel because we couldn’t find an apartment. They get rented very quickly. So, here we are. 😂
@@BudCowmen Tokyo is no joke
@@OnigiriKaizoku You have told no lies.
No, can get better for that price.
Location location location
Too fast talking for me
You're not the only one! I'm a fast talker. I do have some silent walking tours in Tokyo posted here to UA-cam. Thank you for stopping by to watch and to comment. I really do appreciate it! 🥰
´WHY RUBBER PLANT ANDD NOT REAL PLANT
😂 The plant is actually called a rubber plant! It's real. Can't remember the actual genus, but everyone just calls it a rubber plant.
@BudOK ME SORRY BECAUSE I AM DUMB
@@pillepolle3122 😂 No! Not at all. That's a good point to make. Actually, I first published this video on my TikTok where I asked the viewers what the name was because I had no idea. That's the only reason I know the name.
Why do you have a nice apartment and i don't
😂 Well, if it makes you feel any better, I no longer have this apartment. Sadly, the landlord wanted it back. Can't blame them. Thank you for stopping by to watch!
Very nice but too e😢
Hey there, Lee. What’s the e stand for?? 🤔
@@BudCowmen Expensive 😞
@@Lee54. Gotcha. Yeah, this one is certainly a bit more expensive than many 1-bed apartments in Tokyo. We saw some nice studios at $400/mo, and even a few near Koenji that were $180/mo!
@@BudCowmen I love the tiktok lives about Vietnam. It's beautiful as well and seems to be more in my price range.
@@Lee54. So glad you enjoy the Vietnam live streams, Lee! Thank you for stopping in and hanging out. Totally agree with you - Vietnam is more my price range, too. Vietnam has so much value to offer. Will probably be live in the morning, as long as it isn't raining. Hop to see you there!
...24 seconds... I prefer the silent vlogs of Japanese and South Korean content creators... I am not sure why cc's from the states feel the need to blather on in the manner of a used automobile shill...24 seconds and removed from my watched library...
😂 Absolutely not for everyone's taste. That's ok! Plenty on UA-cam for everyone's preferences. Thank you for stopping by, though. I really do appreciate the view! 🤗
