How beautiful that you documented this particular week in your life. I relate so much to the emotional roller coaster of having to say goodbye to a place that became so special. I can remember distinctly how hard it was to leave Sydney (in late 2017) after living there for a year. Living abroad was also one of the best years of my life. How lucky are we to have experienced such a deep connection with another part of the world! Thank you for sharing a part of your journey.
As they say: Don't cry because it's over, rejoice because it happened. Although its fine and natural to cry about the end of things. Thanks so much your awesome videos, because they're always so therapeutic and beautiful. That won't change with what country you're in because it's really just about you and your way of filming which I really appreciate. I look forward to more of your videos in Adelaide!
Hi Christy, I watched these last week and I meant to comment sooner...first of all, please never apologize for feeling sad or crying in your videos or anything like that. Japan is a beautiful place, a very unique culture and from what everyone who has ever been there has told me, it leaves a very deep mark in your heart. Keep in mind that those people are visiting not living there. I am saving money to go to Japan to visit although I fear that I will have a very difficult time coming back to Canada after that visit so I can only begin to imagine what you are feeling. You are very brave for being honest and open with yourself and I am sure that you will end up moving to Japan in the future. I recognize the sentiment around leaving one place and moving to another as my parents left Europe when I was 14 to move here and I left everything behind, in most cases I don't even have photos except for what is left in my mind. In any case, you are a very positive person and I love your vlogs no matter where they are. I have never been to Australia either so I do hope you will make some Australia videos and continue your vlogs because you are a very calming presence. All the best and I look forward to your next video. :) Corina
Poignant. The music, the scenes, the packing, the body language & the life off. I trust your friends & family were waiting to welcome you back home to Oz. Two wonderful countries that are so very different in so many interesting ways. Welcome home! Are you doing okay?
I really enjoyed watching your videos over the past year, I truly wish you the best in what is to come for the future and also I hope you had a safe journey home! Your videos are always so well presented and your emotions and feelings for the place you have grown to love really show through. Thank you for all of the wonderful content you made during your time in Japan!!
It's very painful to leave the place that you love so much, but I'm sure you gonna do absolutely great in Australia too. The picture that the men took of you was really so good. I'll really miss your Japan vlogs but I'm now looking forward to your Australia Vlogs. #TeamChristy 🌼
Oh bless you, you have such a sensitive soul. I have loved watching your videos over the past year. I miss Japan too, I left my heart there when I came back to England. I love that you had an old fashioned photo taken of you before you left, I think that's so poetic. What wonderful memories you must be taking away with you. I hope you had a safe journey back home and wish you all the best for the future.
I’m so happy I found your channel. Thank you for producing such beautiful content while in Japan. All your videos carry this poetry that it’s not easy to find nowadays. The sensibility you had showing us your last days in Tokyo really touched me. Wishing you all the best on this new phase. 💛✨
Fellow adelaidian who lived in tokyo for about two years, now settled in sydney. I can relate so closely with your feelings and the sentiment of the video. Wishing you all the best back here, and remember you can always go back (I went back after moving home the first time lol!)
Your video cinematics are so beautiful. The rain, the moving still shots of scenery and everyday things tied in with the music. It's a wonderful blend of melancholy and excitement.
I really love your videos and it inspires me a lot. My boyfriend even said we could see Japan like we were there in your videos. We both love Japan so much too. All the best to you and your partner in new journey.
Your vlogs are visual poetry. I can totally emotionally resonate with you! Best years/times are yet to come! Glad that I quite fortuitously found your channel! I haven't been to Tokyo for years and would love to spend some time there again.
I am in love with your videos. I wish I could skip work and watch them all. This one made me cry a lot like I was the one leaving Japon, even though I have never lived there.
Very Japanese scenery and items..... I can see you liked your life in Japan. I'm impressed to see how neatly you fold Futon... Oh..... Christy, you are weaving your life beautifully. I am sure your experience of staying in Japan is becoming a part of who you are now and your life journey will be continued with so much of colourful events. I'm glad to find a pure hearted person like you. Wish you a happy life journey.
What a wonderful, sad, beautiful, heartfelt, and honest video! As sad as you might be right now, you know this isn't the end of the book, but merely the end of one chapter. I can't wait to see what life has in store for both of you and I hope you just might allow us to follow you around for this next chapter as well. Wishing you all the best!
I don’t why it is, but I’m crying too... I feel happy that I found your beautiful and great Japanese vlog by chance one day. Once I met your video, I’m totally obsessed with your such an awesome taste of editing like Japanese Ghibli’s anime. And I’m Japanese so I’m glad you seem like Japan very well... Thank you for having shared your beautiful adventure in Japan here, UA-cam. Hope you have sweet life 💘
Always love your videos. Your editing is perfect and your visual telling is so pretty! Thanks for sharing your Japan experience with us :) Thrilled to see your next videos back in Australia. Remember that is not where you are, but who you are as a creator. Wish you the best 💖
Such a beautiful, genuine emotions filled video! Thank you for having me discover Japan through your eyes! Be strong and I look forward seeing your adventures in Australia. (sending you positive vibes!!)
I rarely comment, if ever, but I love your videos and could no longer resist. I am so sorry you have to leave and it sure is okay to feel sad. I feel sad for you, if that even makes sense. I wish you (both) all the best and so much good luck!
I know exactly how you feel, I hate endings too. I've cried with you in this video. Beautifully done as always. Looking forward to see al the great things you'll experience next ❤️
this video made me cry so hard. But thank you so much for sharing it with us and also for coming to Japan! I'm looking forward to seeing your happy vlogs in Australia Love you from Japan
Sending you lots of love and hugs. The places we live and love become a part of us. Your year in Tokyo is an indelible part of who you are now. You'll carry it with you to all your future adventures. Lots of love ❤️
A very fitting blog to the end of a chapter of life. Just a chapter. There will be lots more. And the pair of you have proved to be very capable of looking after yourselves in a strange world. Those skills will take you far. I'm now looking forward to seeing what you get up to back in Australia. Take some time to breathe and rest and absorb. Then you will feel less disjointed.
wow I LOVE the way you film Tokyo. The mood is perfect and conveys that kind of nostalgia for the simple, mundane things in a place you love. Definitely reminded me of my own time there. Hope you have chances to go back. Subbed!
Such a cute video and a lovely way to say goodbye. I just moved from Tokyo back to Adelaide too and could really relate to some of the things you shared. Hope you're enoying being back in Australia!
Aahh thank you, Ligaya 💛 I hope you're doing well and getting settled okay! Adelaide is such a teeny-tiny place in comparison. I'm enjoying it--the weather change and reverse culture shock was a bit to get used to, though haha
Really loved this video, I can’t say I relate but I can say that I love Japan and if I lived there for a year I’d feel the same way!! Glad you made memories and enjoyed it! :)
Ugh I know what you mean about hating goodbyes, I was the same way. Harry Potter was my everything in middle school, and honestly turned me into the person I am today. I remember finishing it, and not being able to believe it. I cried for weeks, started writing my own fan fiction because I just couldn’t have the magic just end. >.< I hate goodbyes. You’re so strong girl.
I identified with this so much :( I moved away from my first flat a year ago and it felt surreal I wouldn’t be in that place anymore and because it was the first place I lived in completely alone it made me super attached to it 😔 a year on I still get a sting of sadness now and then about my old little world there but Iv found new places and part of my new town I like and hope you find this in Australia and wish you happiness in this next chapter of ur life xx
Watching this made me sad too. I haven’t even moved there yet (planning within the next 12 months) and I’m already dreading having to come back to Australia. I know it’s going to be a very hard goodbye. I hate goodbyes too lol. I guess I’ll just have to have a return date set every time I leave Japan. I just love it so much.
It’s sad but a new chapter is about to begin, one door closes but another door opens 💛 I went to Japan for 10 days in year 12 with my school and in my uni degree (bachelor of languages) I will get to go again for overseas language study for a year. I didn’t want to leave and I can’t wait to go back in a couple years (when I can afford it haha). Thank you for sharing the beauty of the world through your camera, we’re lucky to have you.
I feel so sad watching this video, because it reminds me the time when i had to leave Japan this January on my holiday :( but this is a very beautiful video ugh i love your videos so much! ♡ can't wait for your next videos about your new adventures! ❤️
2nd video of yours I've watched. I scrolled down the videos to see.. Cause you mentioned in the more recent video about being in Japan before and I'm intrigued.. Your channel has got to be one of the fastest and easiest for me to subscribe to 😂 This video reminds me of the time I left Japan. Why do I choose this video to watch oh dear 😂 Anyhow.. I'm looking forward to how the channel will progress. You seem like a wonderful person and your videos are very calming. So I'm looking forward to many more videos to come 😇
Your video is always poety and beautiful. I like them so much, and ofcourse you are a talented girl. I hope, your retuning to Japan and making new poetry videos.
Aww Christy I just want to scoop you up in to a huge hug and cry together about how beautiful Tokyo is granted I have only ever aspired to go but your videos have fuelled my wanderlust wishing you absolutely the best of luck back in Australia and if you ever travel to London please document it in the same beautiful way ✨✨
I would absolutely love to go to London. It's long been a dream of mine to go to King's Cross Station (because of Harry Potter). Thank you so, so much 💛
Hey Christy! I'm the same way. I actually had this same experience when moving back home from Japan, and I have an issue with "closures" (for example, I never finish video games with a storyline so I can keep coming back to play them from the beginning). It's tough.
I'll miss your thoughtful, well-edited videos. It's sad that you're gone and you won't be here for another cherry blossom seasons. Best wishes on your new journey.
Such a beautiful video and great music as always. ❤️ I cried when i saw the scenes you took in Tokyo and from your apartment and other things. I am very emotional, i took pictures and videos of my old apartment in another town too. These places and things must be very important to you. Even if they are very small details like rooftops hahah. I hate goodbyes, I travel a lot but i always cry in the plane, i am sure you did too. 😂 It is sad but i am really excited for new videos in a new place. 💖 That old looking picture was really amazing btw. *.* Aww last Tokyo video.. But lets not say last because I am sure you will visit Japan again. 🌸 Love you. 💛
This video make me think many things.When You start to live in Tokyo,I thought You would be tired or disappointed Tokyo's life for some reasons and go back home soon.I did not expect this end.
I'm actually a little jealous of how much time you had to say goodbye! When I lived in Japan, I was hit by a car and ended up in hospital for 2 months. The stupid insurance company booked a flight for an hour after I was discharged which was obviously impossible! So I missed it and they got really mad saying I'd have to stay there (illegally-my visa had already been overextended on compassionate grounds). I was on painkillers, the car that hit me broke my back, and I just burst into tears and asked how they could treat me so badly expecting me to be at an airport 3hrs away in an hour having no time to pack up a year of my life. Eventually they relented and gave me, I think, less than a week? But I knew I'd be back. That was 10 years ago, I've never missed a year since 😄 You'll be the same, I can feel it. It's ok! Nothing is ever over 😊
How beautiful that you documented this particular week in your life. I relate so much to the emotional roller coaster of having to say goodbye to a place that became so special. I can remember distinctly how hard it was to leave Sydney (in late 2017) after living there for a year. Living abroad was also one of the best years of my life.

The intro is so calming and sweet ❤️I love your videos Christy!
Thank you, Monika 💛
Christy Anne Jones your videos make me feel so peaceful I like your videos a lot. I moved to United states with my family when I was four.
Poignant. The music, the scenes, the packing, the body language & the life off. I trust your friends & family were waiting to welcome you back home to Oz. Two wonderful countries that are so very different in so many interesting ways. Welcome home! Are you doing okay?

Thank you so much (me too) 💛
It's very painful to leave the place that you love so much, but I'm sure you gonna do absolutely great in Australia too.
The picture that the men took of you was really so good.
