    Thank you to Peter and Jyoji vG for joining us on this live stream:

      Did you turn the resolution down to make the stream more stable John? If so it seems to have worked. The stream was more stable but the resolution was low. Still better then Minecraft and constant buffering though.

    Thank you so much Peter for correcting Johns American Pronunciation of Asakusa, keep on him with that. My Japanese friends can’t stand it because the meaning changes.

    Hey john, I brought a few japanese food sample making kits from ganso shokuhin sample-ya. It a pretty fun gift for people who love making crafts as well. I think they also host sample food workshops upstairs from the store, but I didn't take part in that since you need to book beforehand and it's all in japanese. Do check the place out if you do a stream on it.

    How come people are eating and drinking while walking which is normally prohibited in Japan? Just because it is a festival?

    • @onlyinjapanGO
      @onlyinjapanGO  4 місяці тому +1

      Prohibited? It is NOT prohibited. It is just not part of the culture, but people do it all the time. More and more office workers are on the go.

    What has Peter done to deserve 10K subscribers? Despite mega UA-camr like John as a pal plugging in every livestream he appears he can't get get people to subscribe. That says a lot. His channel is just not very interesting. It's very self-indulgent, and no one enjoys watching that.

    • @onlyinjapanGO
      @onlyinjapanGO  5 років тому +1

      Wow! Well, PvG is a new creator and it takes time for people to find their own voice. He's super talented and smart (and very busy as a voice artist) but I think he'll find his niche. I'll always support my friends :) and encourage them to keep at it.

    • @FrancescaLD
      @FrancescaLD 5 років тому

      @@onlyinjapanGO I know you're very loyal to your friends and that's why we adore you (one of the reasons anyway). It's just that there're tons of new UA-camrs out there who work their butt off earning one subscriber at a time, so hearing Peter say "I want 10K subscribers by my birthday" It's nothing sort of insulting I'm afraid...
