I've already posted a comment but I was so excited I forgot to ask about one thing that I've been wondering about (which is years of wondering and thought).... are you still doing your comics and/or books? I have the ones you published while still active on UA-cam. I also remember asking either you or MYK
Hi friends! We wanted to just say "hi" and "thank you" and "I hope you're doing amazing!" and "we miss you and we're so thankful that everyone was so understanding about us stepping away from UA-cam"
I honestly figured you stepped away because you were expecting. From what I remembered of your last video, you were cleaning because people were coming over. I thought maybe you were telling them the news. I’m glad to hear you have the family you wanted. Love from Texas to Japan.
❤ So nice to hear something from you guys. A whole load of memories of your channel came back. I’m finally visiting Japan again in September since it was delayed from the world events.
You both look amazing. You are greatly missed. I think of you two from time to time, wondering how your life is going. Thank you so much for checking in with us. Yay, you're married and have children. It's wonderful, life is what you make it. When I miss you two I watched the snake venom beer video. You too compliment each other very well. Take care and hope to see you soon, ❤ from California.
Can't believe that was six years ago, I remember watching you guys, I'm glad to see that you're happy, you have a family, it's wonderful I'm also glad that Ryosuke hasn't lost he's sense of humor
I'm a fully grown middle-aged man, and I nearly cried with joy seeing this in my subs list! It's like a surprise message from a long lost family member. So glad that you're doing well
WHAT AN UNEXPECTED SURPRISE. Total blast from the past. Glad you're all doing well and thanks for the update. Please PLEASE update us from time to time again.
1.200+ people, just from the comments alone. That's how many people still remember you fondly after 6 years, and probably there're many more! All because of the wonderful wholesome content you made. that is such a beautiful positive impact to have on the world. :) thank you, all the best to you and your loved ones!
I audibly gasped when I saw that you posted! I think about y'all from time to time and have so much respect for y'all's decision. So many of us are now looking back at the time that you've been gone and thinking about how *we* have changed while you were also changing. So glad you've built the family you wanted and that you're both happy and well. You didn't owe us anything, but this little piece of closure feels like a ray of sunshine (like Ryosuke's t-shirt) ☀
I thought the UA-cam algorithm was just having a hiccup and decided to show me some old videos of you two on my recommended 😂and I really can't express how happy I was when I saw that this was posted just 10 hours ago! Thank you so much for updating us! We're really glad to see you again and hope this goes on for the next years to come!
aw this made me cry!! I used to love watching your videos when I was 13 now I am 24! I am so happy to you guys thriving and having the family you guys wanted. I wish you guys the most wonderful life!
Crazy that I used to watch your videos as a kid and now I’m a 25 year old woman, married to a Korean man expecting my second child. Been married for 7 years now! Maybe one day I’ll start a UA-cam channel when I move to South Korea 😅 congrats on having a happy life and wonderful kids! 🎉
Wtf I am 24 and barely finishing college lol motherfrickes having child and everything lol Ain't no way I'm having any children neither unless I'm billionaire
@@skydivenexteveryone is different. I could have gone to college but I wanted to be a mom and a wife more than that. We all take different paths and that’s ok
@@dudubuduub3873 with all due to respect being a mom is not a path you are going stagnant in your carrer or life independence and advancement Atleast my grandma that got into a international company and got out because taking mother path now feels lessen compare to his husband which was just a mere driver in that company(obvs ge scalated jobs in there) but my grandma was superior at the time and now my mother is dependent on my father working for him even tho she is a college graduate with master that got in one the most important company but can't do much going out since she literally is kind of stuck in my father job and if she gets out my father job will crumble and they will not have anything to sustain themselves
I’m actually sobbing right now. I started watching your channel when I was in the last year of an abusive marriage. Watching your videos brought so much happiness in that dark time of my life. Seeing how much time has past and you both so happy, and my self happy. This is like full circle, it’s so good to see you. Thank you for the update!
My heart skipped a beat! I couldn't believe it when I saw your thumbnail!! Thank you both so much for this sweet update! It makes me so deeply happy that you're both doing so well :') I'm so proud of you two and you don't owe any of us anything, but this was amazing! Thank you for bring a bright spot in my month 🥳
I just got the notification for this video and I literally couldn't believe it! I never thought you'd ever post again, but I always hoped you guys were happy and healthy. So nice to hear about ya'll!!!
This has given me closure I didn’t know I needed 😭 so thrilled to see you healthy and thriving and as adorable as ever. I will now nostalgia watch all your old videos 😎
Came back. Please make another update in a few more years at least! I remember watching y'all as a kid/teen. But yeah, the happiness from your marriage literally shines through the video! I'm glad to see you're both happy after all these years! Love you all!
Oh my gosh, this made me so happy! You were my favorite UA-camrs while you were doing the channel, and while I was always in support of your stepping away to live your life without the camera, I often thought about you and wondered how you were doing. Thanks so much for checking in and letting us know; it was lovely to see your faces again! I would love it if you wanted to do that from time to time in the future. Congrats on the kids and the happy life, and I hope things continue great for you! 💕
An update I never thought we'd get but I'm so happy to see! Wow, I remember in your last video when you were saying goodbye you really wanted to have kids and now it sounds like you have multiple, I am so damn happy for you both 😭 Thank you for this lovely update, my heart is so happy rn 🥺💖
This is so crazy and made me smile. I remember watching when I was living vicariously through this channel as a broke college student only dreaming of international travel. Now I have been to so many wonderful places but going to Asia (starting in Tokyo) for the first time this year! So happy to see you and your family doing well and thriving!
My daughter is 13, is studying Japanese, and wants to go to Japan. We live in Texas. I remembered your channel from years ago, and just last month I showed her several of your videos. You are both amazing and positive people, and I was so happy to get to share those memories with my daughter. Thank you for this update, and congratulations on your family!
Holy cow! Like many here, I did a loud GASP when I saw this video. I'm so glad you've updated us all. I loved watching you guys and I even bought your book and poop hat. I still have the poop hat and wear it around the house sometimes to this day LOL. Have a wonderful life and keep being awesome!
OH MY GOD it's been so long I've heard from you guys, I was so dumbfounded when I saw this in my YT home page and like damn, this is so nostalgic lol I'm not gonna lie I feel a bit sad this isn't a "we're back" video, but at the same time I'm so happy for your lives! Congrats and wish you the best!
Oh wow 6 years. Glad to hear you are going well. Wishing you guys all the best just in life in general. It really is nice just having this little time capsule
uwahh such a nostalgia blast!! watched your adventures when i was a young adult figuring out where i wanted to be in the world :') i'm a bigger adult who still wanders but my life is a lot more full now! i'm at the age where my friends are starting their own families and i respect people like y'all each and every day for dedicating a safe and private life for little ones in an online era. thank you for the spontaneous, serotonin-filled update and happy it was as cathartic for y'all as it was for us viewers! sending cheers for your happy family life always!! 🤗
OMG I didn't know you two uploaded a new video!!!! You both helped me in a really dark time in my life. I still have your signed books on my bookcase 😭😭😭 Congratulations on all life successes honestly
The amount of pure joy and super happy nostalgia this just sparked back into my life is immeasurable and it is magical to get to see you both again!!! Please stay well!!
My husband and I watched all your videos during lockdown. It was my second viewing but you guys always made me smile and I wanted to share that with him since we are mixed culture couple and I transplanted to a new country after we got married. So yeah, your journey really resonates with us. Seeing you now, all happy and silly and beaming about your family is maybe the best epilogue to your adventures. Thabks for giving us a glimpse into your life now. ❤
Oh my goooooooosh!!! You guys both look so beautiful and healthy and happy. And long hair! And kids! AND PLANTS! (I just don’t remember y’all having many plants before..:. Maybe that’s just me?). Thank you for posting an update. This made my day. Thank you for sharing your lives with everyone way back then. You shared so much happiness and joy. Sending love from Texas! :)
I used to watch you guys all the time as a high schooler dreaming of Japan. Now, at 23, I finally moved to Tokyo last week. It was so nice to hear from you!
I am 100% happy with a twice-per-decade life update - this was so much fun! I am so happy you guys are happy and healthy. Congrats on the kids and I am so glad you are keeping their childhoods private. As someone who works with kids, I can tell you that does not happen often.
😂 it’s sad that y’all aren’t coming back, but happy to see you all are alive; and well!! Y’all are great, and Funny as usual. I guess see you in another 2-10 years!!
I was 16 when you guys left and now im a full blown adult. Everything has changed for me. From school to working online. I've traveled alot after i became 18 despite covid. Seeing UA-cam channel like this made me eager to see the world. I hangout with new friends groups and moved to LA. The way i act and see everything is different. My hobbys and the things i do for fun have been changed too. I feel good and sad see this video.. wish you guys the best
AHHHHH!!!!! This was the awkwardness I'd been missing so much. Thanks for popping in to say hi! Love y'all so much! God bless y'all and take good care! Okay, going to cry happy tears now. 🤧🥲
Selfishly I want to say that even with the dozens and dozens of amazing Japan related content creators we have nowadays, you guys will always be my favorite. Thank you again for sharing so much with us over those years. Congrats on the family! Wishing for continued joy and happiness in your lives!
Omg!!! I screamed when I saw the video on my screen. You have no idea how much this video meant. When you guys left UA-cam, it was very bittersweet. Sad to see you go but happy that you would going the next adventure of your lives. While you gave us a glimpse into your life, we don’t really know you and yet whenever I would see an old video. I would hope you guys were ok, and happy and than Covid hit. So to see this video, to know you guys are still happily married and have Kids!!! And Ryosuke still has his muscle and setting the bar for being a great partner and still mentions poop 😂. It was nice to know you guys are ok, and look to be doing great. So thank you for that, because you didn’t have to, but you did. I’m actually tearing up a little as I write this, but it’s happy tears.
GUYS, I can't tell you how fast I clicked that watch button when I got the update. I haven't seen a clip from you since 2016. Feels like time travel. How incredible to see you both grow up and for us on the other side of the screen to do the same. All the best for the future!
Thank you for checking in. If this is the LAST video you release, be happy that you left on a high-spirited and happy note. Selfishly I’m glad I can remember Texan in Tokyo in this way instead of what was a sad pair of videos after you made a difficult decision. I hope you download all your videos, in case YT goes away, so your children can enjoy them when they’re grown. Don’t hesitate to guilt trip them by showing what you sacrificed for them 😊 j/k
I'm glad to hear you remembered our channel as what it was, instead of how it ended! Either way, I agree! This seems like a much happier note to end on.
My god, I actually shed a tear watching this. You guys are still the best most wholesome couple in YT. I can't believe it's been so long. Love you guys heaps. Sending lots of kisses and hugs from Australia :)
It was nice hearing from you. Used to watch you when I was a kid because it was a dream of mine to move to Japan. Now I'm an adult still trying to find a way 😅. Years pass by fast. Glad you all healthy and happy. Guess we'll see you in 6 years 🤣 bye!
Glad to hear you have kids now and still having fun! But you are missed and loved and please, can you check in like every 2 years? Is that a new house? Well, live and love happily❤️❤️❤️❤️
OMG!! It's so good to see both of you doing so well! I've stayed subscribed just so I can go back and watch your videos. Congratulations on your family. Your videos have always been so positive and uplifting. Thank you for remembering us in UA-cam-Town. Blessings from WI, USA Victoria
you two have no idea just how happy it made me to see this video pop up in my subscription feed. i started watching this channel back in 2015 when i was going through a very rough and lonely chapter of my life. you two kept me a lot of company and quite literally healed me when i became very ill that year hahaha. so needless to say, the abrupt departure eventually made left me quite sad. i figured you two were starting a family though as you both stated in the past you did not want to have children (who cannot consent to be seen) on a channel (which i respect so much). happy to hear all is well. you two are very special to me and i will always be grateful for the content you both produced during this channel’s lifespan 🥹
Wishing you and your family all the best. I am so proud of you for preserving your kids' privacy in the current era. 💜 I feel so nostalgic for this channel and glad I didn't miss this update.
I literally don’t even know this couple since I came from Rachel and Jun’s channel and I literally couldn’t stop smiling seeing how cute, happy and in love they were. I’m glad for them, wishing them and their family well.
You guys are on my prayer list periodically - whenever I think of you both I pray things are going well with your family etc, so grateful to know I can pray for your children now too. I love how over it all you are after so long that you are satisfied still with your decision to leave YT. Props and yes, kids are definitely the best thing ever. They keep us humble and seeking God (Yahweh, the Creator of Heaven and Earth). So I'll end this little note with a blessing; May God bless you and keep you, may He make His face shine upon you, may He show you His salvation.
You were both such an important part of my life back then, and I love all that you did to make my days brighter! I'm beyond happy to see you both living your best lives and growing a family! Thank you so much for this update, although I know you didn't have to give us one.
Thank you for the update! I couldn't stop smiling throughout this entire video :). I usually never comment but couldn't pass this up. I've watched so many of your videos when I was 18 and I am now 23. You both set great examples of what I believe to be a healthy and genuine relationship and I hope to take these lessons as I go throughout life
Even after all these years, I still read through your comics and watch your old videos. Hearing from you is like catching up with old friends I'd grown to cherish. Thank you for the update, and congratulations on having the wonderful family you were hoping for!❤
This is so unexpected welcome back even if it’s just one video! edit: I’m so happy for you two and how far you’ve come thank you for the update I was wondering how y’all were so happy to see y’all again on here :)
OMG HI!! I'm so happy this popped up! I was thinking about you last week! I used to watch your channel religiously! So happy you got to live your dream and create a family!! Edit: omg it's been SIX YEARS and I never unsubscribed 😭
Awww, been thinking about you two lately! I've started maybeee seeing a nice guy from Singapore and he's goofy af so I couldn't help but remember you two and your videos a lot when we're mucking about haha Total respect for wanting to keep family life off youtube as well. I miss your videos but I love to think of you guys just out there living your best life with your family.
How wonderful to see you both again and still so happy! My husband and I were apparently both fans of your channel long before he and I ever met (and we met after you already stepped away from YT), and so now we have double copies of your comic books from when we combined our book collections, haha. He also still has his poop hat! It's nice to still have you guys as role models for us as a happy and successful international married couple. Praying for continued joy for you and your new family ❤
Oh man this was a pleasant surprise! I just had a rush of memories coming back from all those years ago. Seeing others reminisce those fond memories in the comments fills me with tons of warmth and joy. It just goes to show the wonderful impact you both have had on our lives. Thank you so much for the update. Wishing your family good health and good fortune 🥺
OMG love to see you guys. Happy to see you two doing well. Looks like life's been good. Ryosuke's english is so good too wow impressed man. Wish you two would still make some occasional videos. Jvloging has gone pretty dark the past 6 years. Miss alot of the old creators from 2014-17 really was a boom back then.
I stumbled upon this update by chance & I couldn't be happier for it. Like so many others, i watched your videos when I was younger. I'm now turning 29 next month, and I also got married & had two kids during the years you've been absent from UA-cam. Every now & then, I'd think of you guys & wonder if you had those babies you wanted. Honestly, I'm so happy for you & your family! Enjoy parenthood & married life!
I grew up with you two many many years ago (more than 10) in my home country before I could even speak Japanese for a word. I remember when and where I watched your channel clearly! Thanks a lot for the update 🎉🎉🎉 I cannot believe that I have been living in Tokyo for more than 6 years! 😂😂😂
I STILL CANT BELIEVE YOU TWO CAME BACK AFTER LIKE 6 YEARS! I ENJOYED YOUR VLOGS WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL AND WAS SO SAD WHEN YOU GUYS ANNOUNCED YOUR LEAVE FROM THE PLATFORM. ITS FUNNY HOW I DECIDED TO LOOK YOUR CHANNEL UP THIS YEAR SOME WEEKS AGO OUT OF NOSTALGIA AND THEN THIS VIDEO COMES TO MY RECOMMENDED! I WAS SO SHOCKED AND IT PUT A SMILE TO MY FACE SEEING YOU TWO BACK! NO MATTER WHAT YOU GUYS DO, I WILL BE WAITING. WITH HUGE LOVE FROM US ALL, KEEP SPREADING THE LOVE AND POSITIVITY
OH MY GOODNESS WOW!!!! What a wonderful and unexpected update!!!! Thank you so much for dropping by. Please continue to live your lives!!!!!! Be well!!!!!
This makes me so happy I remember watching you both when I was in highschool I am now 21 about to be 22 in a couple days and seeing your happiness and relationship gives me hope I’ll find that one day thank you for the update😊
Makes my heart so happy to know y’all are happy and living life :) Your videos are so nostalgic for me as well, so I can’t imagine how they feel watching back for you guys! Can’t wait to see you again in 2 to 7 years ♥️♥️
I got the notification and came running!!!❤ It's so nice to see you're both doing good, and you've started a family together just like you said you wanted! Congratulations!!
Woooow. It’s been forever. I started watching you around 8-9 years ago. I remember you used to make me wanna move to Japan! I was also in a dark place and in a terrible relationship and just about to graduate from college. So much has changed in my life for the better and I ended up not moving to Japan, but I am an expat outside the US. I also got to live in Japan this year for a couple of months and have been to Japan 3 times now. I have tears in my eyes because you bring back so much happiness from nostalgic times watching your videos.
Oh my goodness, you guys are beautiful and have a blast keep living your lives! I personally started a massive journey of my own literally the month you guys stopped filming on UA-cam. My massive journey is hitting a pinnacle and kind of an ending point and it is just so beautiful that you guys checked in like this at this moment.
Found your channel while I was in a weird headspace finishing up my degree. I had some periods of time that eating, sleeping and the like were what happened around writing. Your wholesome joy was a way to unplug from stress (I finished my degree a year before you stopped updating), so glad you two (plus kids!) are doing well!
What an unexpected delight! Thank you guys for the bonus update. Grace, your hair looks so beautiful, but I don't know how you can stand to keep it that long in the brutal Japanese summer!! That's what I'm most impressed with! lol But seriously, glad to see you're both doing well! Take care. :)
I gasped when I saw this. I'm so happy that you all posted an update. It's amazing to see that you both are still together, happy and are raising a family.
very unexpected. your send off videos *were* sad! this was unexpected cathartic, it's like closure. your videos from the past preserve/represent a bygone era in youtube/internet history (edit: and to an extent an bygone era in your and our lives), so this feels like a relic reviving for a fleeting moment before disapparating. Omg kids!, you really did make your fairytale ending come true. so beautiful. also that looks like an American house lol
This feels cathartic! And also just a much nicer was for us to do a send-off, compared to the one from a few years ago. It's wild to see how much the internet has changed!
Omggg I love that we got an update!! Thank y’all for so much for sharing with us again 🥹🥹 it makes me so happy to know y’all are still happy. I started watching y’all in undergrad and here I am about to graduate with my masters degree now! It feels full circle. Sending so many blessings to you both and your family. ❤
It's nice to see how you both have grew and matured together. I was literally just laying in my bed and I had the thought that I should check your channel.
AWESOME TO SEE YOU BOTH AGAIN!!!!!! I'm glad to see you're healthy and life is good! You don't have to come back full time, but let's hear updates once in a while... It's good to see you're so HAPPY!!!! 皆さんが私たちに与えてくれたすべて そして喜びを分かち合ってくれてありがとう
OMG I just mentioned you guys to my sister last week wondering what you guys were doing and now I got an update XD. The last video really made me missed you guys which got me into your webtoons, which I’m now obsessed with. Thank you so much for making stories which got me into a whole new world of reading
Unexpected update! So glad to see you happy and having the family you wanted. So great! Even if you don't return to youtube, we're always happy to hear updates. Edit: Checked the date of the goodbye video. My little baby was barely 1 and now they're almost as tall as me. 懐かしい！
Omg, I can't believe I missed this! I grew up watching y'all and think about this channel all the time. So happy to see this update, hope to see another one in a few years haha
This is so crazy, I was just thinking about you folks the other day and I couldn't remember your channel name. Nice to see that you're both doing well, and I hope you'll continue to do so 😊💙
NOOOOO WAY Watched all of your videos through university and I kept checking back to see if you came back 😢 Last time I checked was last week! Good to hear from you both again ^_^
I'm so glad you posted an update! It's so wonderful to see you guys as happy and genki as ever. Congrats on your beautiful family and life! 🎉
Rachel!!! Thank you so much! You are so incredibly kind and I love the life you and Jun built together
@@TexaninTokyo @RachelandJunAdventures - gahh, I hope your paths cross again sometime soon! X

I honestly figured you stepped away because you were expecting. From what I remembered of your last video, you were cleaning because people were coming over. I thought maybe you were telling them the news. I’m glad to hear you have the family you wanted. Love from Texas to Japan.
You guys look fantastic.
❤ So nice to hear something from you guys. A whole load of memories of your channel came back. I’m finally visiting Japan again in September since it was delayed from the world events.

Family. I don’t see any kids😂

You have 81 likes. ❤️
I'm a fully grown middle-aged man, and I nearly cried with joy seeing this in my subs list!
It's like a surprise message from a long lost family member.
So glad that you're doing well
Surprise! Haha
Everyone is crying. Like a family reunion
100000% my same feeling!
WHAT AN UNEXPECTED SURPRISE. Total blast from the past. Glad you're all doing well and thanks for the update. Please PLEASE update us from time to time again.
Surprise! haha
this was my roman empire
Emotional...I thought about this channel once every 2 years. Always wondered how your lives are going. Glad to see your well! Happy memories.
I just gasped out loud seeing this in my recommended. Thank you so much for the update, it's so genuinely lovely to see you both thriving!
Same!
Same I was like wait why do I remember this? and I was like oh my god!!

Thank you so much for updating us! We're really glad to see you again and hope this goes on for the next years to come!
I wasn't expecting people to find this video so quickly! The UA-cam algorithm works so quickly. Thanks for swinging by to say hi!
I’m so glad you guys are doing great!! Thank you so much for checking in!!!❤❤❤❤❤
Glad to see you guys
aw this made me cry!! I used to love watching your videos when I was 13 now I am 24! I am so happy to you guys thriving and having the family you guys wanted. I wish you guys the most wonderful life!
That’s insane I was 24 when they said goodbye now I’m 30 😂
Crazy that I used to watch your videos as a kid and now I’m a 25 year old woman, married to a Korean man expecting my second child. Been married for 7 years now! Maybe one day I’ll start a UA-cam channel when I move to South Korea 😅 congrats on having a happy life and wonderful kids! 🎉
You don’t need to start yt channel. Just live your life and protect yourself from public. Also there are plenty AM/WF couples on yt now.
@@inquisitvem6723 I wouldn’t ever show my family or my self lol. Maybe just cute food or products etc 🤣
Wtf I am 24 and barely finishing college lol motherfrickes having child and everything lol
Ain't no way I'm having any children neither unless I'm billionaire
@@skydivenexteveryone is different. I could have gone to college but I wanted to be a mom and a wife more than that. We all take different paths and that’s ok
@@dudubuduub3873 with all due to respect being a mom is not a path you are going stagnant in your carrer or life independence and advancement
Atleast my grandma that got into a international company and got out because taking mother path now feels lessen compare to his husband which was just a mere driver in that company(obvs ge scalated jobs in there) but my grandma was superior at the time and now my mother is dependent on my father working for him even tho she is a college graduate with master that got in one the most important company but can't do much going out since she literally is kind of stuck in my father job and if she gets out my father job will crumble and they will not have anything to sustain themselves
I’m actually sobbing right now. I started watching your channel when I was in the last year of an abusive marriage. Watching your videos brought so much happiness in that dark time of my life. Seeing how much time has past and you both so happy, and my self happy. This is like full circle, it’s so good to see you. Thank you for the update!
I'm so sorry to hear that, and glad that our channel brought happiness in such a bad time :(
I so hope you're in a much better place now!
My heart skipped a beat! I couldn't believe it when I saw your thumbnail!! Thank you both so much for this sweet update! It makes me so deeply happy that you're both doing so well :')
I'm so proud of you two and you don't owe any of us anything, but this was amazing! Thank you for bring a bright spot in my month 🥳
Thank you so much
What sorcery is this?!
I'm so happy to see you both!!
Thank you so much for thinking of us and giving us this beautifully cringe life update 😁
I started watching you guys in high school, now I’m a high school teacher😂. So good to see you guys happy and doing well!
I just got the notification for this video and I literally couldn't believe it! I never thought you'd ever post again, but I always hoped you guys were happy and healthy. So nice to hear about ya'll!!!
We honestly never expected it either! But it felt like a great time to quickly swing by to say "hi" and "thank you"
This has given me closure I didn’t know I needed 😭 so thrilled to see you healthy and thriving and as adorable as ever. I will now nostalgia watch all your old videos 😎
Thanks, we didn't know we needed this closure too! Nostalgia is all over the place! Ryosuke
Came back. Please make another update in a few more years at least! I remember watching y'all as a kid/teen. But yeah, the happiness from your marriage literally shines through the video! I'm glad to see you're both happy after all these years! Love you all!
Wow it's been 6 years! Was surprised to see this video appearing on my feed, so glad that you guys are doing well! Thanks for the update! :)
We appreciate you checking in! Im glad to see you two are doing well. ❤
Thank you! And I hope you're doing fantastic as well!
Oh my gosh, this made me so happy! You were my favorite UA-camrs while you were doing the channel, and while I was always in support of your stepping away to live your life without the camera, I often thought about you and wondered how you were doing. Thanks so much for checking in and letting us know; it was lovely to see your faces again! I would love it if you wanted to do that from time to time in the future. Congrats on the kids and the happy life, and I hope things continue great for you! 💕
Thank you
An update I never thought we'd get but I'm so happy to see! Wow, I remember in your last video when you were saying goodbye you really wanted to have kids and now it sounds like you have multiple, I am so damn happy for you both 😭 Thank you for this lovely update, my heart is so happy rn 🥺💖
This is so crazy and made me smile. I remember watching when I was living vicariously through this channel as a broke college student only dreaming of international travel. Now I have been to so many wonderful places but going to Asia (starting in Tokyo) for the first time this year! So happy to see you and your family doing well and thriving!
Such a joy to see you both thriving like this! ❤️❤️❤️ Two sunbeams! Thanks for sharing your smiles and brightening our days.
Thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love that you're doing so well and having such a great time! Wishing lots of love and happiness to your family!!!
My daughter is 13, is studying Japanese, and wants to go to Japan. We live in Texas. I remembered your channel from years ago, and just last month I showed her several of your videos. You are both amazing and positive people, and I was so happy to get to share those memories with my daughter. Thank you for this update, and congratulations on your family!
That is a very sweet story of yours! Thanks for sharing that! Please say Ganbatte to your daughter for me! Ryosuke
Holy cow! Like many here, I did a loud GASP when I saw this video. I'm so glad you've updated us all. I loved watching you guys and I even bought your book and poop hat. I still have the poop hat and wear it around the house sometimes to this day LOL. Have a wonderful life and keep being awesome!
OH MY GOD it's been so long I've heard from you guys, I was so dumbfounded when I saw this in my YT home page and like damn, this is so nostalgic lol I'm not gonna lie I feel a bit sad this isn't a "we're back" video, but at the same time I'm so happy for your lives! Congrats and wish you the best!
Oh wow 6 years. Glad to hear you are going well. Wishing you guys all the best just in life in general. It really is nice just having this little time capsule
This old channel feels very much like a time capsule of UA-cam circa 2015. So much has changed and it's really cool to be in that moment again!
It's a relief to hear Ryosuke still loves poop 💜
the most important part of any update
uwahh such a nostalgia blast!! watched your adventures when i was a young adult figuring out where i wanted to be in the world :') i'm a bigger adult who still wanders but my life is a lot more full now! i'm at the age where my friends are starting their own families and i respect people like y'all each and every day for dedicating a safe and private life for little ones in an online era. thank you for the spontaneous, serotonin-filled update and happy it was as cathartic for y'all as it was for us viewers! sending cheers for your happy family life always!! 🤗
OMG I didn't know you two uploaded a new video!!!! You both helped me in a really dark time in my life. I still have your signed books on my bookcase 😭😭😭 Congratulations on all life successes honestly
The amount of pure joy and super happy nostalgia this just sparked back into my life is immeasurable and it is magical to get to see you both again!!! Please stay well!!
Thanks for joining us on this trip down memory lane!
My husband and I watched all your videos during lockdown. It was my second viewing but you guys always made me smile and I wanted to share that with him since we are mixed culture couple and I transplanted to a new country after we got married. So yeah, your journey really resonates with us. Seeing you now, all happy and silly and beaming about your family is maybe the best epilogue to your adventures. Thabks for giving us a glimpse into your life now. ❤
Adapting to a different culture can be challenging, so remember to have fun by being silly every once in a while! Ryosuke
Oh my goooooooosh!!! You guys both look so beautiful and healthy and happy. And long hair! And kids! AND PLANTS! (I just don’t remember y’all having many plants before..:. Maybe that’s just me?). Thank you for posting an update. This made my day. Thank you for sharing your lives with everyone way back then. You shared so much happiness and joy. Sending love from Texas! :)
I used to watch you guys all the time as a high schooler dreaming of Japan. Now, at 23, I finally moved to Tokyo last week. It was so nice to hear from you!
Awww that's so wonderful! Congrats on the new exciting chapter in your life! TOKYO~~ - Ryosuke!
I am 100% happy with a twice-per-decade life update - this was so much fun! I am so happy you guys are happy and healthy. Congrats on the kids and I am so glad you are keeping their childhoods private. As someone who works with kids, I can tell you that does not happen often.
😂 it’s sad that y’all aren’t coming back, but happy to see you all are alive; and well!! Y’all are great, and Funny as usual. I guess see you in another 2-10 years!!
I'm sure it's just going to fly past 😂😂😂
I was 16 when you guys left and now im a full blown adult. Everything has changed for me. From school to working online. I've traveled alot after i became 18 despite covid. Seeing UA-cam channel like this made me eager to see the world. I hangout with new friends groups and moved to LA. The way i act and see everything is different. My hobbys and the things i do for fun have been changed too. I feel good and sad see this video.. wish you guys the best
I have never clicked on a video faster ❤ thank you for the update and it's great to see you are still going strong!
AHHHHH!!!!! This was the awkwardness I'd been missing so much. Thanks for popping in to say hi! Love y'all so much! God bless y'all and take good care! Okay, going to cry happy tears now. 🤧🥲
🥲
Selfishly I want to say that even with the dozens and dozens of amazing Japan related content creators we have nowadays, you guys will always be my favorite. Thank you again for sharing so much with us over those years. Congrats on the family! Wishing for continued joy and happiness in your lives!
I looked back at this page on a whim that just maybe y'all posted something, and I'm glad I did! Glad to know that everyone is ok! 💗
Omg!!! I screamed when I saw the video on my screen. You have no idea how much this video meant. When you guys left UA-cam, it was very bittersweet. Sad to see you go but happy that you would going the next adventure of your lives. While you gave us a glimpse into your life, we don’t really know you and yet whenever I would see an old video. I would hope you guys were ok, and happy and than Covid hit. So to see this video, to know you guys are still happily married and have Kids!!! And Ryosuke still has his muscle and setting the bar for being a great partner and still mentions poop 😂. It was nice to know you guys are ok, and look to be doing great. So thank you for that, because you didn’t have to, but you did. I’m actually tearing up a little as I write this, but it’s happy tears.
GUYS, I can't tell you how fast I clicked that watch button when I got the update. I haven't seen a clip from you since 2016. Feels like time travel. How incredible to see you both grow up and for us on the other side of the screen to do the same. All the best for the future!
Thank you for checking in. If this is the LAST video you release, be happy that you left on a high-spirited and happy note. Selfishly I’m glad I can remember Texan in Tokyo in this way instead of what was a sad pair of videos after you made a difficult decision. I hope you download all your videos, in case YT goes away, so your children can enjoy them when they’re grown. Don’t hesitate to guilt trip them by showing what you sacrificed for them 😊 j/k
I'm glad to hear you remembered our channel as what it was, instead of how it ended! Either way, I agree! This seems like a much happier note to end on.
My god, I actually shed a tear watching this. You guys are still the best most wholesome couple in YT. I can't believe it's been so long. Love you guys heaps. Sending lots of kisses and hugs from Australia :)
Awww have some facial tissue, haha! Thanks for such sweet words - Ryosuke
You guys have no idea how happy this update made me! I almost didn’t believe it!! ❤❤❤❤
It was nice hearing from you. Used to watch you when I was a kid because it was a dream of mine to move to Japan. Now I'm an adult still trying to find a way 😅. Years pass by fast. Glad you all healthy and happy. Guess we'll see you in 6 years 🤣 bye!
Good luck! I hope you get a chance to move to Japan soon!!
Glad to hear you have kids now and still having fun! But you are missed and loved and please, can you check in like every 2 years? Is that a new house? Well, live and love happily❤️❤️❤️❤️
OMG!! It's so good to see both of you doing so well! I've stayed subscribed just so I can go back and watch your videos. Congratulations on your family. Your videos have always been so positive and uplifting. Thank you for remembering us in UA-cam-Town.
Blessings from WI, USA
Victoria
you two have no idea just how happy it made me to see this video pop up in my subscription feed. i started watching this channel back in 2015 when i was going through a very rough and lonely chapter of my life. you two kept me a lot of company and quite literally healed me when i became very ill that year hahaha. so needless to say, the abrupt departure eventually made left me quite sad. i figured you two were starting a family though as you both stated in the past you did not want to have children (who cannot consent to be seen) on a channel (which i respect so much). happy to hear all is well. you two are very special to me and i will always be grateful for the content you both produced during this channel’s lifespan 🥹
Awww so sweet! Thanks for sharing your kind words! That made me happy :) - Ryosuke
Love you guys! Thank you for checking in and I wish you all the best! ❤
Wishing you and your family all the best. I am so proud of you for preserving your kids' privacy in the current era. 💜 I feel so nostalgic for this channel and glad I didn't miss this update.
Thank you
I literally don’t even know this couple since I came from Rachel and Jun’s channel and I literally couldn’t stop smiling seeing how cute, happy and in love they were. I’m glad for them, wishing them and their family well.
You guys are on my prayer list periodically - whenever I think of you both I pray things are going well with your family etc, so grateful to know I can pray for your children now too. I love how over it all you are after so long that you are satisfied still with your decision to leave YT. Props and yes, kids are definitely the best thing ever. They keep us humble and seeking God (Yahweh, the Creator of Heaven and Earth). So I'll end this little note with a blessing; May God bless you and keep you, may He make His face shine upon you, may He show you His salvation.
6 years?!? I'm not sure how time flied but im glad you guys are doing well. Thank you for the life update. :)
I know!!! Time just flew on by!
You were both such an important part of my life back then, and I love all that you did to make my days brighter! I'm beyond happy to see you both living your best lives and growing a family! Thank you so much for this update, although I know you didn't have to give us one.
Awww thanks!!
I've really missed you guys. I marathon binged your videos back in 2017. You helped me get through some tough times.
Thank you for the update! I couldn't stop smiling throughout this entire video :). I usually never comment but couldn't pass this up. I've watched so many of your videos when I was 18 and I am now 23. You both set great examples of what I believe to be a healthy and genuine relationship and I hope to take these lessons as I go throughout life
Even after all these years, I still read through your comics and watch your old videos. Hearing from you is like catching up with old friends I'd grown to cherish. Thank you for the update, and congratulations on having the wonderful family you were hoping for!❤
Thanks for joining us on this little trip down memory lane!
This is so unexpected welcome back even if it’s just one video!
edit: I’m so happy for you two and how far you’ve come thank you for the update I was wondering how y’all were so happy to see y’all again on here :)
Thank you! Happy (unexpected) Wednesday surprise!
OMG HI!! I'm so happy this popped up! I was thinking about you last week! I used to watch your channel religiously! So happy you got to live your dream and create a family!!
Edit: omg it's been SIX YEARS and I never unsubscribed 😭
Awww, been thinking about you two lately! I've started maybeee seeing a nice guy from Singapore and he's goofy af so I couldn't help but remember you two and your videos a lot when we're mucking about haha
Total respect for wanting to keep family life off youtube as well. I miss your videos but I love to think of you guys just out there living your best life with your family.
How wonderful to see you both again and still so happy! My husband and I were apparently both fans of your channel long before he and I ever met (and we met after you already stepped away from YT), and so now we have double copies of your comic books from when we combined our book collections, haha. He also still has his poop hat! It's nice to still have you guys as role models for us as a happy and successful international married couple. Praying for continued joy for you and your new family ❤
That is very cool!! I am glad that you had something in common haha! It's all thanks to meee :) Rio
Oh man this was a pleasant surprise! I just had a rush of memories coming back from all those years ago. Seeing others reminisce those fond memories in the comments fills me with tons of warmth and joy. It just goes to show the wonderful impact you both have had on our lives. Thank you so much for the update. Wishing your family good health and good fortune 🥺
OMG love to see you guys. Happy to see you two doing well. Looks like life's been good. Ryosuke's english is so good too wow impressed man.
Wish you two would still make some occasional videos. Jvloging has gone pretty dark the past 6 years. Miss alot of the old creators from 2014-17 really was a boom back then.
I stumbled upon this update by chance & I couldn't be happier for it. Like so many others, i watched your videos when I was younger. I'm now turning 29 next month, and I also got married & had two kids during the years you've been absent from UA-cam. Every now & then, I'd think of you guys & wonder if you had those babies you wanted. Honestly, I'm so happy for you & your family!
Enjoy parenthood & married life!
I’m so glad y’all are still doing great! Thank you for checking in!
I'm so happy to see your faces, liked the video so fast! Missed you both so much
I grew up with you two many many years ago (more than 10) in my home country before I could even speak Japanese for a word. I remember when and where I watched your channel clearly! Thanks a lot for the update 🎉🎉🎉
I cannot believe that I have been living in Tokyo for more than 6 years! 😂😂😂
I STILL CANT BELIEVE YOU TWO CAME BACK AFTER LIKE 6 YEARS!
I ENJOYED YOUR VLOGS WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL AND WAS SO SAD WHEN YOU GUYS ANNOUNCED YOUR LEAVE FROM THE PLATFORM.
ITS FUNNY HOW I DECIDED TO LOOK YOUR CHANNEL UP THIS YEAR SOME WEEKS AGO OUT OF NOSTALGIA AND THEN THIS VIDEO COMES TO MY RECOMMENDED!
I WAS SO SHOCKED AND IT PUT A SMILE TO MY FACE SEEING YOU TWO BACK!
NO MATTER WHAT YOU GUYS DO, I WILL BE WAITING.
WITH HUGE LOVE FROM US ALL,
KEEP SPREADING THE LOVE AND POSITIVITY
OH MY GOODNESS WOW!!!! What a wonderful and unexpected update!!!! Thank you so much for dropping by. Please continue to live your lives!!!!!! Be well!!!!!
😄 thank you guys so much for checking in with us. I could never bring myself to unsubscribe, and I'm so glad you guys are doing well!
This makes me so happy I remember watching you both when I was in highschool I am now 21 about to be 22 in a couple days and seeing your happiness and relationship gives me hope I’ll find that one day thank you for the update😊
That is so crazy! You guys randomly popped in my head and here we are with a lovely update.
Makes my heart so happy to know y’all are happy and living life :)
Your videos are so nostalgic for me as well, so I can’t imagine how they feel watching back for you guys!
Can’t wait to see you again in 2 to 7 years ♥️♥️
2 to 7 year Squad Here We Go🤣!!
@@Pleasant-but-Enigmatic 🤣😂🤣
I got the notification and came running!!!❤
It's so nice to see you're both doing good, and you've started a family together just like you said you wanted! Congratulations!!
Thank you :)
Woooow. It’s been forever. I started watching you around 8-9 years ago. I remember you used to make me wanna move to Japan! I was also in a dark place and in a terrible relationship and just about to graduate from college. So much has changed in my life for the better and I ended up not moving to Japan, but I am an expat outside the US. I also got to live in Japan this year for a couple of months and have been to Japan 3 times now. I have tears in my eyes because you bring back so much happiness from nostalgic times watching your videos.
Oh my goodness, you guys are beautiful and have a blast keep living your lives! I personally started a massive journey of my own literally the month you guys stopped filming on UA-cam. My massive journey is hitting a pinnacle and kind of an ending point and it is just so beautiful that you guys checked in like this at this moment.
Thanks for saying that! Life is just full of weirdness and surprises :) - Ryosuke
Found your channel while I was in a weird headspace finishing up my degree. I had some periods of time that eating, sleeping and the like were what happened around writing. Your wholesome joy was a way to unplug from stress (I finished my degree a year before you stopped updating), so glad you two (plus kids!) are doing well!
Congrats on finishing
Congrats on finishing your degree!!! That's a huge accomplishment! Glad our channel was a source of joy for a bit there.
What an unexpected delight! Thank you guys for the bonus update. Grace, your hair looks so beautiful, but I don't know how you can stand to keep it that long in the brutal Japanese summer!! That's what I'm most impressed with! lol But seriously, glad to see you're both doing well! Take care. :)
I gasped when I saw this. I'm so happy that you all posted an update. It's amazing to see that you both are still together, happy and are raising a family.
So nice to hear from you guys again after all these years, thanks for the update !
This made me so happy! Your books still take pride of place on my bookshelf Grace. Glad to see that you're still loving life
Ahhhh that makes me so happy! I love those books.
very unexpected. your send off videos *were* sad! this was unexpected cathartic, it's like closure. your videos from the past preserve/represent a bygone era in youtube/internet history (edit: and to an extent an bygone era in your and our lives), so this feels like a relic reviving for a fleeting moment before disapparating.
Omg kids!, you really did make your fairytale ending come true. so beautiful.
also that looks like an American house lol
This feels cathartic! And also just a much nicer was for us to do a send-off, compared to the one from a few years ago. It's wild to see how much the internet has changed!
Omggg I love that we got an update!! Thank y’all for so much for sharing with us again 🥹🥹 it makes me so happy to know y’all are still happy. I started watching y’all in undergrad and here I am about to graduate with my masters degree now! It feels full circle. Sending so many blessings to you both and your family. ❤
It's nice to see how you both have grew and matured together.
I was literally just laying in my bed and I had the thought that I should check your channel.
AWESOME TO SEE YOU BOTH AGAIN!!!!!!
I'm glad to see you're healthy and life is good!
You don't have to come back full time, but let's hear updates once in a while...
It's good to see you're so HAPPY!!!!
皆さんが私たちに与えてくれたすべて そして喜びを分かち合ってくれてありがとう
OMG I just mentioned you guys to my sister last week wondering what you guys were doing and now I got an update XD. The last video really made me missed you guys which got me into your webtoons, which I’m now obsessed with. Thank you so much for making stories which got me into a whole new world of reading
Unexpected update! So glad to see you happy and having the family you wanted. So great! Even if you don't return to youtube, we're always happy to hear updates.
Edit: Checked the date of the goodbye video. My little baby was barely 1 and now they're almost as tall as me. 懐かしい！
Kids grow up SO FAST!
Aww I’m so happy to see an update from you two. I’m happy you seem happy, and this video is giving me some closure I didn’t know I needed.
Omg, I can't believe I missed this! I grew up watching y'all and think about this channel all the time. So happy to see this update, hope to see another one in a few years haha
Waaa! Happy to see you two here! on UA-cam! 😃 I'm still here! 🤭😁 Glad to see that you are happy! ☺️ I'd like to see you in person again!
お母さん、お久しぶりで〜す！機会があればそのうち会おう！We will be happy forever! haha
This is why I never unsubscribe from dormant UA-cam channels.
Glad you two are doing well! So nice to see you again and hear how things are going.
lol to be fair, we weren't originally planning this! Glad you stayed subscribed!
This is so crazy, I was just thinking about you folks the other day and I couldn't remember your channel name. Nice to see that you're both doing well, and I hope you'll continue to do so 😊💙
Awwww! So happy you did this little life update even if not returning to UA-cam. Wish you two the best and a continued lifetime of love. 💞
NOOOOO WAY
Watched all of your videos through university and I kept checking back to see if you came back 😢 Last time I checked was last week! Good to hear from you both again ^_^
Woah, crazy timing!
