Hi Shinichi. For me. No matter you're gay. The important is the person what you are. You respect the all people who knows you. I'm not gay but I have many friend who are. And I love and respect then all. And they respect me and my family. God bless you man.
I'm an American Grandma and I just love you. You just took my heart. I love your videos. I told my husband, I said, I found this Japanese video on UA-cam that I really enjoy. I'm learning so much about Japanese food. They speak English enough to understand them. Then I just watched this beautiful heartfelt video of yours and you just touched my heart with your honesty. I just love you and I'll listen to you anytime you choose to share. Your friend always.
It's so brave of you to open up to the world about your past. I am so sorry you have had so many problems with relationships, especially the abusive ones. You seem like a very sweet, intelligent man and it breaks my heart to see you sad. I love your TabiEats channel, not only because it's fun and interesting, but also because it reminds me to appreciate the little things in life. Maybe that channel is good therapy for you for that reason. It's been a couple of years since you posted this and if the quality of your videos is any indication, you seem much happier. I hope you continue to thrive and have happiness in your life. Here's wishing you a wonderful 2017!
Shinichi, I follow you and Satoshi on TabiEats and you two are so fun and inspiring. I love how honest and open you are. You're a very genuine person and I'm glad this video popped up on my feed. I came out when I was young as well. I truly hope you have found joy in your life and I'm glad that your family and friends are there to support you. Lots of love!!!
Shinichi, I am glad I found this video. It looks like Satoshi is the perfect boyfriend for you. I am happy that you met him after the previous Japanese boyfriend broke up with you when you arrived in Japan. You've experienced a lot of pain. :( I am hoping that Satoshi is the last. :)
I think you and Satoshi are cute together! i live your TabiEats channel a lot. I am a huge straight ally. (^.^)v i have tons of GLTBQ friends and love them for who they are.
BIG love for you, Shinichi.. It saddens me to hear about the trouble you have had with past relationships, but I have the highest hopes for you and Satoshi. I wish you the best! Thank you for sharing this very personal part of your life with us. I didn't come out as lesbian until I was 40. I have two lovely daughters, and I would not trade them for anything, but I wish I had been brave enough to be able to be honest about myself with literally every single person in my life.
Thank you for the heartfelt talk. Brought tears to my eyes. Pay no attention to haters. Keep doing what you're doing, enjoy life and do the best in your endeavors, and most of all love yourself & be proud of who you are. You are a gift and each & every time I watch your videos I feel blessed.
Hi Shinichi, Gay, straight all the same to me.You are a very honest person and you deserve the best and from what I can see Satoshi is perfect for you. You both get along well and it shows on your videos.
You are such a sweetheart and really do deserve the best. You have the kindest eyes and I love the fact that you didn't let life take you down. Staying strong, you are an inspiration for all of us.
Oh my god, thanks for being so open. We have all had terrible relationships in our lives, so we can relate. All the best to you in your future relationships. 😘much love from New York
Hi Shinichi, I'm really enjoying your videos, they're very honest and open. It sounds like you've had some really rough experiences as far as relationships go, and there isn't really much that I can say about those without it sounding patronising. I will say that I am sorry to hear that you've had these awful experiences :( As far as "Does it have to be this hard?" goes; I'd say no, it doesn't, but that unfortunately for many of us I think the reality of our relationships rarely what we would wish them to be. I've been through some fairly emotionally devastating relationships, nothing like what you've described here though, and as clichéd and tacky as it sounds, I have learned and grown from each of them. Even if that lesson was something as small as "Well, that guy was a total a**hole". Not really sure what perspective I can offer here, but just wanted to say hi and thanks for uploading such a personal video.
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, Shinichi. My eyes got teary and there's a lump in my throat now -- just from hearing about your misfortunes in past relationships -- but you held yourself together so well! Now it's time for you to have all that happiness that you're so deserved.
Hello Shinichi. Sorry for my english, I'm from Germany. The most important thing is, that you get happy. No matter who you love. It doesn't matter if you love man or woman, you as a person counts. It's sad that you had to go through so bad relationships. I in person only fell in love with woman, but that is a personal thing and everyone should love who he wants. I wish you the very best for your love life. Your Channel is very interesting and I hope it will go on for a very long time. I love the food tests and they will help me in Vacations, what I should try, or what is nothing for my taste :)
I am way late for this video, but I just needed to say that I (and MANY other people out there) love you and your videos - no matter who you choose to love. Other people have said that you're really brave, and you definitely are.. but, I just feel that it's such a shame that people still have to be "brave" about something like this, because there is just so, so much more to a person than their sexual preference. Unfortunately, there are still many narrow-minded people out there with too much hatred in their hearts and not even love. It's awful that you had to go through so many heartbreaking relationships. I truly hope that you are able to be with someone who will give you all the love that you deserve. Also, thank you for sharing you story. I'm sure that there are many other people out there who are going through the same thing and you showed them that they are not alone and that it definitely gets better.
you are a wonderful person who has just been wounded by other people like myself . I had to learn how to let myself be loved again because after several messy breakups I had come to believe that I was unworthy of "true love" . You can do it and are Worthy of all of the love the universe has to offer.
Thank you so much for sharing. It saddens me that you have experienced so much pain. Satoshi seems like a good person and hopefully this will work for you both. Sending my love and hugs to you Sinichi!!!🌹♥️🌹♥️🌹
As the only one of my friends who has been divorced I can say that relationships are so hard! I never regret getting married because it taught me so many things... If I've learned anything from my sad and difficult experiences, it's that you learn how to be happy and the best partner you can be by living through the hard times. You can't appreciate the sweet without having some salty! You seem like a great guy and I wish you nothing but happiness. Everyone deserves someone to love and laugh with.
I stumble upon your video and normally I never leave comments for videos but I want to for your. I'm very sorry for horrible experiences you have had. I truly understand how you feel when you give it your all in a relationship and when you ended up getting betrayed. It has taking me a very long time to trust again and I'm guessing it's hard for you too. Just want to say, don't lose hope, learn from the pass and it will get better. There are good fishes out there in the sea. Sometime it will take longer than we expect to find the one but when we do it will give us a new perspective of relationships and an appreciation for yourself and your partner. Wishing the best for you.
Omg that sounds like a manga :( that's so scary ;-; I'm so glad you got out that terrible situation, I can't believe someone could use such a precious person like you
After following you on tabi eats then moving over to your private channel I was really shocked to hear how many difficult situations you've been through in your life. To your credit! You seem incredibly positive and inherently kind which is fantastic! All the best to you and your family
Hi Shinichi, I just stumbled across one of your recent videos on your other channel and loved it so much that I subscribed immediately. I then came across this video and it broke my heart to hear your stories of past shitty boyfriends especially because I just want to give you a big hug and tell you what an inspiration you are to be able to speak about it openly and still be such a strong person to this day. Keep doing you - you are amazing!
Hello :). I just wanted to say this video took guts. You were so frank and honest about your life and yet your heart shone through. I am not gay but I can tell you all relationships are hit or miss. I spent most of my life chasing the Cinderella dream. It left me heartbroken and alone. After a near heart attack in January, I decided to focus on my dreams instead. I'm 52 now so I know it's a little late to start a new path but hey I'm still here so I must have a purpose! The one thing I regret the most is not having a baby. My chances are slim now yet I still hope. You're young. Travel. See the world. Learn new things. Meet people...not for a relationship, but just to widen your circle, to grow. No one can write your book but you. No one has your gifts or talents. You are a unique fingerprint in this world. Love yourself. Your relationship with yourself is the best you can ever have. Hold onto it tightly. Nurture it and let it give you the joy others took from you. My dream is to take my dad to Japan one day. He's 91 and still loves to travel (cane and all).We would enjoy meeting you and Satoshi :). Hugs!
I hope you don't blame yourself for any of your bad relationships in the past. THEY were the bad ones, the people who took advantage of and abused you. Those people are horrible and I'm sure they're going to do it many others. Thank you for being open about your past relationships. Many have been through what you went through and even worse. You're not alone in the world and there are many people who love, admire and look up to you. Always be strong and live life for yourself. I hope you will find an eternal, unending source of happiness in life.
Ahhh I feel for your story. You didnt have to say it, but that is so brave of you. I had an ex boyfriend who tried to drown me 2 times before I woke up to taking care of my own needs. These are things that happen, and its how you live on that matters. I wish you the best of luck and hope today you are truly happy.
I’m so sorry you’ve had such horrible experiences!! I could feel my heartbreak as you told of your relationships of the past. You’re such a great guy who deserves the most happiness. Always remember, it’s not your fault that those guys couldn’t handle how awesome you are.
I'm sorry you had to go through so much shit :( my girlfriend and I are what Americans call "high school sweethearts" since we've been dating since our mid-teens after years of being friends. coming out is always tough even after years. i've seen so many of my friends getting absolutely ruined by relationships, gay or not. I consider myself extremely lucky because despite struggling with mental health, both of us have a stable and loving relationship. I'm really glad you've got Satoshi now!!
I have only just started watching your videos here and on TabiEats. you're an inspiration to many and deserve respect and happiness. I hope that you and Satoshi have a great 2017 and also wanted to say that I admire your courage to open up on something that is so personal in your life.
I found TabiEats recently and am a huge fan. This video makes me so sad. You are so wonderful and talented and you deserve so much in life. I know that this video is over three years old and that now you are happy and content but always remember that there are people who will always support and defend you and that you are loved.
I take it that there is no expiration date for the 'Response Time' of this video. You mentioned 'running out of luck', to which I would like to say that I believe it's your birthright to meet with luck. Insist that luck will befall you and confront yourself with the obligation to treat your luck with care and always cherish it ! And you have ! The wonderful bonding and interaction between you and your friend Satoshi tells it all. You guys are privileged to be able to give meaning to your mutual lives. It's obvious that you two have found the way to make this bonding work ! Fabulous !!
Thank you for sharing. I have had some bad relationships as well. I'm single now and have really closed myself off to loving again. im glad you are doing better.
I found your videos because I was looking for Onigiri-information. After I watched your onigiri taste tests I thought that you seem like a very nice and likeable person, so I watched more. It's very brave to talk about your relationships so openly! I'm queer myself, so I'm always impressed when gay/lesbian/whatever people talk so openly. Best wishes :)
You are a strong individual. Keep your heart open, life is good. People come and go for a reason. Stay true to you. Sexuality does not define you. You define you. So live, love, and laugh often. Life is short, live it.
I saw on another video that you had tried to break up with Satoshi and he refused, so I'm very glad you didn't let Satoshi break up with you. You guys seem good together. You need to be happy with yourself first and your comment about not being "supremely unhappy" is a bit distressing, you sounded depressed here. Since you and Satoshi are still together almost 5 yrs later, very glad you appear to have overcome whatever you were feeling. Much love coming from the US!
Thanks mate for sharing. My husband and I have been together 20 years this year. In fact, we'll be celebrating our anniversary in Tokyo in March! We are blessed, as I'm sure you will be too. If I may say so, you are a good son, and a great person, and deserving of all happiness.
Woo hoo!! The big deal to me: I LOVE hearing people strong and proud of WHO THEY ARE! And for those who aren't I hope you are happy in who you are no matter what!
I got the feeling that around your recent trip to the USA there have been problems with Satoshi. At some stage you mentioned communication problems. I think that that was in an earlier video. I have watched you two together in so many videos and I see so much love in his eyes when he looks at you. Do you think you may just have different communications styles because you were educated in Hawaii and he in Japan? "Western" ideas of communication are so different from those the Japanese and American 'psychobabble' loaded Society is different to every other culture I have come across. I am terrible at relationships myself, but believe you two are really good for each other, and hope you can start counting the decades in the years to come.
This video is an older one. But i admire your honesty and bravery. You didn’t deserve the mistreatment you’ve encountered. And it hurts my heart to know that you’ve had to face that. I hope that you are happy and confident in your relationship with Satoshi. I adore you both and hope you have a long happy relationship 💕
i think that everyone deserves love and i hope this current guy is the one youve been waiting for. i also think youre very brave to have gone through those situations and not given up on love. very sweet, humble and fun, loving guy. the right one will come along....
first time i saw your video it was a video in sendai, i became interested in watching more. so i subscribed, then i got to see u and your current guy doing tabieats... it's been great feeling since day one of watching ur videos... i had a gut feeling that u experienced a lot but never knew what expereiences they were til i watched this one. I appreciate you were feeling free to share a bit of your story and i feel for you... it is hard when you realise it is the moment that has broken your heart, but thats how we get to learn from different ppl and different relationships in order to have more insights and be wiser. a man with lots of life experience is charismatic man, as long as he stays positive and young at heart. thats you. so, keep smiling!
I am so proud of you. You are a wonderful person and it takes lots of encouragement and paths cross. Am glad where you are today... happiness and love be with you always.
Shinichi I never realised how much you've been through. I started watching TabiEats just a little while ago, and I have watched so many of your videos now. It is inspiring to me how positive you come across. I know this video is quite old now, but thank you for being so open and allowing us to learn about the life you've experienced. x
Hello Shinichi Thank you for being totally honest with your viewers. That must of been really hard for you to do. I'm sorry you went through so much until you found the right person for yourself. I also suffer from mental health problems so I feel for you in that. but I believe in you and don't mind or care that you are gay you still Shinichi to me. I love your channel and will continue to watch it. Being gay doesn't being to show what you are like. As I've watched you on your video I came to see you are a friendly, kind, warm sensitive and a honest person as well as being gay. Please don't worry what others think about you if you are happy with yourself that all that matters. I'm so proud that you felt strong enough to show your community of fans your really self. I think you are awesome and love to watch your shows and maybe get to see you when I visit Japan if it's OK with you.Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2017.
Hi, Shinichi! Thank you so much for sharing your story with us. I'm so sorry that you've suffered this way in the past, and I'm glad you are in a stable and healthy relationship now. You deserve to be happy, loved, appreciated and safe.
I had no idea you went through so much in terms of relationships...it's amazing you were willing to do so much for your past boyfriends..such a dedicated and kind soul you are. And a very brave and strong person : ) Thank you for sharing your experiences with us, it's great to listen to you talk straight from the heart.
I might be completely off base here and I'm not sure why this ended up in my feed, but in this video I think Shinichi was unhappy with the way his relationship was going at that time. You don't usually look back at your relationships unless you're comparing them with your current one. And if you're comparing them, then something is definitely wrong. I hope you were able to overcome whatever it was that was causing any grief inside of you. I hope you're happy in your decision to stay in the relationship you're in. Nothing is easy, nothing good comes without hard work. But in the end, if you're not happy, no one can make you happy. So don't forget to try to work on yourself. Goodluck.
Wow, this is really old, but I stumbled upon it just now after having major relationship problems for like the 4th time...ive always been taken advantage of and even abused and hearing that even after going through all those things, you're doing ok, it gives me hope ❤
you are not alonne in having a string of bad people and losing hope, and then finding someone that actually respects you when you swear you'll never do it again. I think reaching the point of valuing yourself above others is a turning point for people that give and love too much. And then the people that see a strong person and like that, start to show up in your life. x If its any consolation, i spent 6 years loving, working had for, and financially supporting a person, even selling my home and moving to another country to be with him, just to be taken for all i had and treated very badly in the end. It is not you being weak, but the other person being predatory. You, you are a very kind hearted and caring person. Never stop being you x
and thank you for being so open about your past. We all think no one could have made such decisions as we did, but we are legion. xx The important thing is, you are complete in yourself, and your partner just complements that and allows you to shine x
Thank you so much for this. As a mom of a lgbt child I am so proud of you speaking about your relationship troubles. I am so sorry you met with so many people who took advantage of your kindness. It also makes me so happy that you found your current relationship. You both seem to be good for each other and I hope your days are always filled with love and kindness.
I accidentally run into this channel few days ago. When I watch this video, well... it was not really surprising for me since I think i got the clue when I watch your other channel. But.... thanks so much for sharing, we really appreciate it. No matter how people may speak bad about you or do something bad to you, remember that there're still many people who'll support you and love you. I hope you'll always be happy... ^^
Greetings, Shinichi-san. I just recently discovered your TabiEats Channel and I have watched quite a few of your videos already and I love the Channel. I just discovered this Channel of yours and watched your 'Relationship' video. You have certainly gone through some very difficult situations throughout your life but in the end, you have managed to over-come these personal obstacles and have become stronger as a person. You and Satoshi-san are so adorable together and one can see the joy and happiness that you both share together. Thank you for your honesty and openness and just being you. Love you both!!!
I can relate to your experience, especially when you said "What's wrong with me?" I'm (much) older than you, but I never could be successful in my gay relationships. I tried, but I could never really settle in with anyone and give my attention to him properly, I never found anyone who fully captured my heart. I also had a Christian experience that made it very hard for me to feel confident that I would be okay with God if I were in a gay relationship. Finally, at 37, I gave up. I married a sister in the church, and managed to conceive twins. I've lived in this platonic marriage, celibate since the children were conceived, and now they are in their twenties, and I long for a relationship with another man but feel I am too old and too obligated to my family to seriously consider that kind of change. I also wonder after this long hiatus if I have more to give, the capacity to enter fully into such a relationship, or if I would be at square one, unchanged, dealing with the same issues that made it impossible when I was young. Sometimes, I think I'm just not made for intimate, long-term relationships, that I'm essentially a "loner," and really don't need that. I do fall in love and do get close to other mostly young men and have pleasant, platonic, short-term relationships that provide me a mix of satisfaction and occasionally heart-ache (if I fall harder than I should). I am managing those better now. In the end, after lots of reflection, especially recently, I have been thinking I should just be content with what I have and forget about what I was never able to accomplish when it would have been a real possibility. You said in your recent live confession that you don't regret anything. I think that's healthy, but I'm not yet there. I am on the fence about regret. I wish you well, wish you happiness. You seem good.
Just got to know of your this channel. Thanks for sharing your experiences, although they must have been heartbreaking. Hope you have found true happiness by now! Hugs!
I'm so happy i see this old video. It was bittersweet learning this about your past relationships. I totally relate to that feeling of giving up. Hope you now have your happily ever after.
I am a huge fan of you and Satoshi. My wife and I eagerly await your adventures. That being said, I'm not sure how I got here but I want to say to whoever reads this, regardless of what you do in life and who you do it with, IT IS NEVER OK TO BE ABUSED!! Verbally, mentally, or physically. I am glad that you were able to find peace and that you are living your dreams! I was talking with a person recently that I considered to be a mentor, and he commented that his neighbor was always getting his "ass kicked", but he was gay so in some way he deserved it. I was horrified and hurt that he could even make a statement like that, let alone believe that bullshit. If you are being victimized and you find your way here to this vlog, get some help. You are better than the current situation you are in!
You're a very brave and loving person! But please ask yourself more often when you are in a relationship if you are happy. It's fine to give so much but you have to be loved just as much in return. 💖
Hey Shinichi! Sorry to hear about all the unhappy relationships. I can identify with some of what you said. Even so you appear to be a very sweet and caring person. I really like you more the more I listen to your talks. And you did not choose your boyfriend over your family by moving to Japan. You chose yourself over everything. That is one good thing because at the end of the day we ourselves are the most important person in our lives. I have been in my current relationship for 25 years so maybe you will too! Its not always fun and games and there is a lot of compromise but the rewards can be great too. Lots of hugs to you and your partner. Best.
This video was 3 years ago, and here I am in 2017 thinking "wow, it is a big thing for you to make a video like this one" .. Hope you are now happy in your life .. :)
I'm sorry there are a lot of abusers out there I've experience this too, been very hurt and betrayed, I'm there now I don't trust people and feel like there are so many out there with toxic personality disorders, good you put up boundaries and said NO to not accepting garbage from anyone. Your current guy looks very sweet and hope he treats you as sweet as he seems. You guys have an awesome creative outlet together and keep your eyes on the larger picture. Love is about service to a greater creation then our small selves. Xox
Hi shinichi! i just discovered your videos today and i love it! Because of your videos i want to go back and see Japan again. Im looking forward on your next videos. You and Satoshi are cute couple. Hugs and take care always! :)
So sad that you had to experience all of this. You seem like a very nice and humble person and I truly enjoy the videos you're making, they always make me smile. It is a shame that there are still so many morons out there who cannot accept people how they are or who need to hurt others to feel better about themselves. Don't let them bring you down and be true to yourself. You're amazing the way you are! ☺
Life is too damn short to live unhappy and without love. The only thing that matters after that is your safety. I am not just talking about your physical wellbeing, but also your mental or emotional wellbeing. I think very many Gay men go through what you have described for us. I know a close friend of mine from high school has a similar story. You are lucky though, you have Satoshi who is not just your lover but a very close friend. I think he trully cares deeply for you. And because life is just to damn short, that is pretty special. I love you both, the way you are. You can do it, don't quit trying.
This personal channel of yours is amazing, I'm a huge fan of TabiEats and seeing this more sensitive and personal side of your life makes me really emotional, it shows how life can get better and how you managed to overcome difficult situations in your life. I used to love your channels before and now I love them even more :) Keep up your work! I'm sure your career here on youTube will grow stronger and stronger Best of wishes from Italy ;)
You have amazing resilience and faith to keep trying after so many horrible hurts. I'm so pleased for you that you've found contentment with your current partner. I stumbled upon TabiEats because I really like Japanese food, and the first time I laid eyes on you two, I thought, 'These are a couple and such a good pair! If they're not a couple that would be a crime!" I was very pleased to find out you've been together a long time. I think the two of you are lovely. Thanks for sharing. x
Thank you for opening up and sharing about your life. Please know so many of us have "kissed a lot of toads" in life,aka fell for the incorrect people in our lives. But that does not mean we are flawed or do not deserve love and to be truly cherished and cherish those we choose to be with.we do, You do! I love how you are thankful for happiness and love. I pray you continue to be grateful and receive all the love and happiness you seek. Much love,light,and laughter to you from this Bigmomma in Oklahoma.
hey..i just subscribedvyour channel and found that really really good because i am food n cook lover too. this is Sarah from Hong Kong, stay positive my dear and that is life. No one know what happen tomorrow and good things maybe around the corner you dont know, if Mr. Right not appear which means you have something better to focus today...then good things will come thats I always believe.
Just want to share and wish you stay happy, dont laugh !! I had sad and bad relationship at the past too, now I already 45 still single. The fortune teller said I was smart and handsome doctor had too many girl fd in previous life, of course upset the girls thats why i have to went through some difficult to find my love this life. But becuse I was a doctor and healed many people that brings many good things and people this life, well had lots opportunity in my career life. Sometime when I feel sad then I will think of all these, true or not but really keeps me going...ha...ha...too long I leave you alone talk next time.
thankyou for sharing this. you are so brave. and I'm glad you got out and survived from all those challenges in life. i learned a lot from your video. and for that, i want to thankyou! I am a fan of you two and TabiEats. I truly enjoyed watching your videos. especially the dishes of your mother. it helps me think of dishes that isn't common here in the Philippines. it helps me cook and be more lady-like to serve it to the family. thankyou! more power to you and your partner. I am so happy that he is so nice continue loving each other! be happy you two! :) take care.
Shinichi, it's amazing to me how you can be so forthcoming in discussing your past relationships. Regardless of how good or bad they were, it's what makes us who we are. You are strong because you are true to yourself and that's all that is important in life. Stay truthful, treat others the way you want to be treated and always maintain your dignity because that's what makes you shine. Much love and lots of energy going your way....cheers, with respect 😄✌🏼️from YYC 🇨🇦😘
Loved your story time...heart felt. After all the bad that has happen in your life you are still standing, and that my friend is incredible strength. 💪🏼
Thanks for being open sounds like you have had a lot of hurts and rejection in your life.I also went through a lot of that trying to find my self worth in other people and looking to them to make me happy.when I was 21 I gave myself fully over to God and I never looked back. He blessed me with a loving husband now 31 years and 5 grown children .Two of which we adopted while living in Japan.God is my strength and my everything he is my best friend.Not trying to preach but he loves you, he made you and he does not make mistakes.Mahalo
1st is to know AND love yourself. then, make sure your partner is the same way 'cause IF they're not, how can they truly love another being. if you have a solid foundation, everything else should be easy. ganbatte ne!
@Shinichi'sWorld I love TabiEats and began wondering about your experience coming out to your mother. Which led me here. I just have to say, you're very strong to have gone through what you have and continue to be so positive. A lotta love from me to you and yours.
You are so awesome and brave to share your stories, relationships can be challenging and it's inspiring for you to be so authentic to share what you feel. I see in you a sweet soul and a good heart. Continue to express yourself in whatever way makes you feel free!
I think you have an amazing man now. Love at first sight is rare, if your desperate you wont usually find your person but when you become whole all by yourself the right one will come along. When it comes to love 1+1=1. No person can complete you they simply add to what's already there. Like frosting in an oreo, both the filling and the cookie are good on their own but when put together they are even better! If you ask me I think that's love.
Ah Shinichi that breaks my heart! I love all people regardless of there sexual preference as long as you aren't an abusive person!!You and I could talk for ours about relationships!! I no longer get involved bc it never works and they always get abusive! You deserve the very best life has to offer! Never settle! Much love Diana
Watching this made me want to hug you very tight. You are very strong man to have been through so much, and I understand where you are come from. Keep smiling my dear you are wonderful.
Hi, Relationships are difficult and it has to be tended to like raising a Bonsai tree. It's work, but the benefits are great! I just found you and your Food vlogs. keep up the good work!
I know this is an older post but now I i wish I could give you a hug. I've been there too. I am terrible at choosing partners even though I always have the best intentions I usually come away feeling very hurt. I have decided that relationships are likely just not for me and need to focus on other aspects of my life. It seems like you've made better choices and you're on a good path. Keep up the good work! I love both your channels and watching your adventures.
I just discovered Tabieats this past week and have been addicted! Thank you for sharing your story. I've had some horrible relationships in the past as well. Best wishes to you and Satoshi! U2 seem to have so much fun together. I also think your personality is so adorable!
Stick with Satoshi! He's adorable.
Thought I was the only one who felt so. He definitely is, esp when describing food taste in English. The cutest ever!
Hi Shinichi. For me. No matter you're gay. The important is the person what you are. You respect the all people who knows you. I'm not gay but I have many friend who are. And I love and respect then all. And they respect me and my family.
God bless you man.
Sinichi, I think that you and Satochi are wonderful together. I hope you are both as happy as you make all of us.
+TuckerSP2011 thank you so much :)
I'm an American Grandma and I just love you. You just took my heart. I love your videos. I told my husband, I said, I found this Japanese video on UA-cam that I really enjoy. I'm learning so much about Japanese food. They speak English enough to understand them. Then I just watched this beautiful heartfelt video of yours and you just touched my heart with your honesty. I just love you and I'll listen to you anytime you choose to share. Your friend always.
It's so brave of you to open up to the world about your past. I am so sorry you have had so many problems with relationships, especially the abusive ones. You seem like a very sweet, intelligent man and it breaks my heart to see you sad. I love your TabiEats channel, not only because it's fun and interesting, but also because it reminds me to appreciate the little things in life. Maybe that channel is good therapy for you for that reason. It's been a couple of years since you posted this and if the quality of your videos is any indication, you seem much happier. I hope you continue to thrive and have happiness in your life. Here's wishing you a wonderful 2017!
Shinichi,
I follow you and Satoshi on TabiEats and you two are so fun and inspiring. I love how honest and open you are. You're a very genuine person and I'm glad this video popped up on my feed. I came out when I was young as well. I truly hope you have found joy in your life and I'm glad that your family and friends are there to support you. Lots of love!!!
Shinichi, I am glad I found this video. It looks like Satoshi is the perfect boyfriend for you. I am happy that you met him after the previous Japanese boyfriend broke up with you when you arrived in Japan. You've experienced a lot of pain. :( I am hoping that Satoshi is the last. :)
I think it's so incredible that you are so open with your life. You've been through so much and you deserve all the happiness in the world
I think you and Satoshi are cute together! i live your TabiEats channel a lot. I am a huge straight ally. (^.^)v i have tons of GLTBQ friends and love them for who they are.
Love you Shinichi! Anybody get gets to be your boyfriend is a really lucky guy. Thanks for opening up to us. HUGS!
This is exactly how I feel. I love your spirit!
BIG love for you, Shinichi.. It saddens me to hear about the trouble you have had with past relationships, but I have the highest hopes for you and Satoshi. I wish you the best! Thank you for sharing this very personal part of your life with us. I didn't come out as lesbian until I was 40. I have two lovely daughters, and I would not trade them for anything, but I wish I had been brave enough to be able to be honest about myself with literally every single person in my life.
Thank you for the heartfelt talk. Brought tears to my eyes. Pay no attention to haters. Keep doing what you're doing, enjoy life and do the best in your endeavors, and most of all love yourself & be proud of who you are. You are a gift and each & every time I watch your videos I feel blessed.
Hi Shinichi, Gay, straight all the same to me.You are a very honest person and you deserve the best and from what I can see Satoshi is perfect for you. You both get along well and it shows on your videos.
You are such a sweetheart and really do deserve the best. You have the kindest eyes and I love the fact that you didn't let life take you down. Staying strong, you are an inspiration for all of us.
Oh my god, thanks for being so open. We have all had terrible relationships in our lives, so we can relate. All the best to you in your future relationships. 😘much love from New York
Thanks so much! I can't believe there are people watching this channel. Hmmm....thinking if I should reopen this channel.
you should
if you are comfortable doing so, then yes, i would love to hear your thoughts x
its been 2 years since this video and i surely hope for an "Ever After" for you and Satoshi! :)
Hi Shinichi,
I'm really enjoying your videos, they're very honest and open.
It sounds like you've had some really rough experiences as far as relationships go, and there isn't really much that I can say about those without it sounding patronising. I will say that I am sorry to hear that you've had these awful experiences :(
As far as "Does it have to be this hard?" goes; I'd say no, it doesn't, but that unfortunately for many of us I think the reality of our relationships rarely what we would wish them to be. I've been through some fairly emotionally devastating relationships, nothing like what you've described here though, and as clichéd and tacky as it sounds, I have learned and grown from each of them.
Even if that lesson was something as small as "Well, that guy was a total a**hole".
Not really sure what perspective I can offer here, but just wanted to say hi and thanks for uploading such a personal video.
Grant Heino thank you so much for your feedback. I truly appreciate it. :)
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, Shinichi. My eyes got teary and there's a lump in my throat now -- just from hearing about your misfortunes in past relationships -- but you held yourself together so well! Now it's time for you to have all that happiness that you're so deserved.
Hello Shinichi. Sorry for my english, I'm from Germany. The most important thing is, that you get happy. No matter who you love. It doesn't matter if you love man or woman, you as a person counts. It's sad that you had to go through so bad relationships. I in person only fell in love with woman, but that is a personal thing and everyone should love who he wants. I wish you the very best for your love life. Your Channel is very interesting and I hope it will go on for a very long time. I love the food tests and they will help me in Vacations, what I should try, or what is nothing for my taste :)
You are an amazing person, Shinichi, for getting through all that and still end up being such a warm, kind hearted person. You keep going!
I am way late for this video, but I just needed to say that I (and MANY other people out there) love you and your videos - no matter who you choose to love. Other people have said that you're really brave, and you definitely are.. but, I just feel that it's such a shame that people still have to be "brave" about something like this, because there is just so, so much more to a person than their sexual preference. Unfortunately, there are still many narrow-minded people out there with too much hatred in their hearts and not even love. It's awful that you had to go through so many heartbreaking relationships. I truly hope that you are able to be with someone who will give you all the love that you deserve. Also, thank you for sharing you story. I'm sure that there are many other people out there who are going through the same thing and you showed them that they are not alone and that it definitely gets better.
you are a wonderful person who has just been wounded by other people like myself . I had to learn how to let myself be loved again because after several messy breakups I had come to believe that I was unworthy of "true love" . You can do it and are Worthy of all of the love the universe has to offer.
Thank you so much for sharing. It saddens me that you have experienced so much pain. Satoshi seems like a good person and hopefully this will work for you both. Sending my love and hugs to you Sinichi!!!🌹♥️🌹♥️🌹
As the only one of my friends who has been divorced I can say that relationships are so hard! I never regret getting married because it taught me so many things... If I've learned anything from my sad and difficult experiences, it's that you learn how to be happy and the best partner you can be by living through the hard times. You can't appreciate the sweet without having some salty! You seem like a great guy and I wish you nothing but happiness. Everyone deserves someone to love and laugh with.
I stumble upon your video and normally I never leave comments for videos but I want to for your.
I'm very sorry for horrible experiences you have had. I truly understand how you feel when you give it your all in a relationship and when you ended up getting betrayed. It has taking me a very long time to trust again and I'm guessing it's hard for you too. Just want to say, don't lose hope, learn from the pass and it will get better. There are good fishes out there in the sea. Sometime it will take longer than we expect to find the one but when we do it will give us a new perspective of relationships and an appreciation for yourself and your partner. Wishing the best for you.
Omg that sounds like a manga :( that's so scary ;-; I'm so glad you got out that terrible situation, I can't believe someone could use such a precious person like you
After following you on tabi eats then moving over to your private channel I was really shocked to hear how many difficult situations you've been through in your life. To your credit! You seem incredibly positive and inherently kind which is fantastic! All the best to you and your family
Hi Shinichi, I just stumbled across one of your recent videos on your other channel and loved it so much that I subscribed immediately. I then came across this video and it broke my heart to hear your stories of past shitty boyfriends especially because I just want to give you a big hug and tell you what an inspiration you are to be able to speak about it openly and still be such a strong person to this day. Keep doing you - you are amazing!
Omg! You had some crazy boyfriends! I'm glad you found someone more stable. Looking forward to more of your food videos.
Hello :). I just wanted to say this video took guts. You were so frank and honest about your life and yet your heart shone through. I am not gay but I can tell you all relationships are hit or miss. I spent most of my life chasing the Cinderella dream. It left me heartbroken and alone. After a near heart attack in January, I decided to focus on my dreams instead. I'm 52 now so I know it's a little late to start a new path but hey I'm still here so I must have a purpose! The one thing I regret the most is not having a baby. My chances are slim now yet I still hope. You're young. Travel. See the world. Learn new things. Meet people...not for a relationship, but just to widen your circle, to grow. No one can write your book but you. No one has your gifts or talents. You are a unique fingerprint in this world. Love yourself. Your relationship with yourself is the best you can ever have. Hold onto it tightly. Nurture it and let it give you the joy others took from you. My dream is to take my dad to Japan one day. He's 91 and still loves to travel (cane and all).We would enjoy meeting you and Satoshi :). Hugs!
I hope you don't blame yourself for any of your bad relationships in the past. THEY were the bad ones, the people who took advantage of and abused you. Those people are horrible and I'm sure they're going to do it many others. Thank you for being open about your past relationships. Many have been through what you went through and even worse. You're not alone in the world and there are many people who love, admire and look up to you. Always be strong and live life for yourself. I hope you will find an eternal, unending source of happiness in life.
Ahhh I feel for your story. You didnt have to say it, but that is so brave of you. I had an ex boyfriend who tried to drown me 2 times before I woke up to taking care of my own needs. These are things that happen, and its how you live on that matters. I wish you the best of luck and hope today you are truly happy.
I’m so sorry you’ve had such horrible experiences!! I could feel my heartbreak as you told of your relationships of the past. You’re such a great guy who deserves the most happiness.
Always remember, it’s not your fault that those guys couldn’t handle how awesome you are.
Thanks so much
I'm sorry you had to go through so much shit :(
my girlfriend and I are what Americans call "high school sweethearts" since we've been dating since our mid-teens after years of being friends. coming out is always tough even after years.
i've seen so many of my friends getting absolutely ruined by relationships, gay or not. I consider myself extremely lucky because despite struggling with mental health, both of us have a stable and loving relationship.
I'm really glad you've got Satoshi now!!
I have only just started watching your videos here and on TabiEats. you're an inspiration to many and deserve respect and happiness. I hope that you and Satoshi have a great 2017 and also wanted to say that I admire your courage to open up on something that is so personal in your life.
I found TabiEats recently and am a huge fan. This video makes me so sad. You are so wonderful and talented and you deserve so much in life. I know that this video is over three years old and that now you are happy and content but always remember that there are people who will always support and defend you and that you are loved.
I take it that there is no expiration date for the 'Response Time' of this video. You mentioned 'running out of luck', to which I would like to say that I believe it's your birthright to meet with luck. Insist that luck will befall you and confront yourself with the obligation to treat your luck with care and always cherish it ! And you have ! The wonderful bonding and interaction between you and your friend Satoshi tells it all. You guys are privileged to be able to give meaning to your mutual lives. It's obvious that you two have found the way to make this bonding work ! Fabulous !!
Thank you for sharing. I have had some bad relationships as well. I'm single now and have really closed myself off to loving again. im glad you are doing better.
I found your videos because I was looking for Onigiri-information.
After I watched your onigiri taste tests I thought that you seem like a very nice and likeable person, so I watched more.
It's very brave to talk about your relationships so openly! I'm queer myself, so I'm always impressed when gay/lesbian/whatever people talk so openly.
Best wishes :)
You are a strong individual. Keep your heart open, life is good. People come and go for a reason. Stay true to you. Sexuality does not define you. You define you. So live, love, and laugh often. Life is short, live it.
I saw on another video that you had tried to break up with Satoshi and he refused, so I'm very glad you didn't let Satoshi break up with you. You guys seem good together. You need to be happy with yourself first and your comment about not being "supremely unhappy" is a bit distressing, you sounded depressed here. Since you and Satoshi are still together almost 5 yrs later, very glad you appear to have overcome whatever you were feeling. Much love coming from the US!
Thanks mate for sharing. My husband and I have been together 20 years this year. In fact, we'll be celebrating our anniversary in Tokyo in March! We are blessed, as I'm sure you will be too. If I may say so, you are a good son, and a great person, and deserving of all happiness.
+Rod Kenning aww that is amazing! Makes me so happy to hear hat. Let me know if you need any help with your trip
Shinichi's World If you'd like us to bring you some Burger Rings when we come to Tokyo - just let us know!
I'm honored to have heard your story. I wish you nothing but the best!
Holy cow you've been through a lot! Dear Sinichi, I hope life brings you happiness, you seem such a sweet soul. ❤️
Woo hoo!! The big deal to me: I LOVE hearing people strong and proud of WHO THEY ARE! And for those who aren't I hope you are happy in who you are no matter what!
I got the feeling that around your recent trip to the USA there have been problems with Satoshi. At some stage you mentioned communication problems. I think that that was in an earlier video.
I have watched you two together in so many videos and I see so much love in his eyes when he looks at you. Do you think you may just have different communications styles because you were educated in Hawaii and he in Japan? "Western" ideas of communication are so different from those the Japanese and American 'psychobabble' loaded Society is different to every other culture I have come across.
I am terrible at relationships myself, but believe you two are really good for each other, and hope you can start counting the decades in the years to come.
I'm happy you found Satochi (I hope I spelled that right) you are a true being of light and I hope to meet you one day!
This video is an older one. But i admire your honesty and bravery. You didn’t deserve the mistreatment you’ve encountered. And it hurts my heart to know that you’ve had to face that. I hope that you are happy and confident in your relationship with Satoshi. I adore you both and hope you have a long happy relationship 💕
i think that everyone deserves love and i hope this current guy is the one youve been waiting for. i also think youre very brave to have gone through those situations and not given up on love. very sweet, humble and fun, loving guy. the right one will come along....
first time i saw your video it was a video in sendai, i became interested in watching more. so i subscribed, then i got to see u and your current guy doing tabieats... it's been great feeling since day one of watching ur videos... i had a gut feeling that u experienced a lot but never knew what expereiences they were til i watched this one. I appreciate you were feeling free to share a bit of your story and i feel for you... it is hard when you realise it is the moment that has broken your heart, but thats how we get to learn from different ppl and different relationships in order to have more insights and be wiser. a man with lots of life experience is charismatic man, as long as he stays positive and young at heart. thats you. so, keep smiling!
I am so proud of you. You are a wonderful person and it takes lots of encouragement and paths cross. Am glad where you are today... happiness and love be with you always.
Shinichi I never realised how much you've been through. I started watching TabiEats just a little while ago, and I have watched so many of your videos now. It is inspiring to me how positive you come across. I know this video is quite old now, but thank you for being so open and allowing us to learn about the life you've experienced. x
Hello Shinichi
Thank you for being totally honest with your viewers. That must of been really hard for you to do.
I'm sorry you went through so much until you found the right person for yourself. I also suffer from mental health problems so I feel for you in that. but I believe in you and don't mind or care that you are gay you still Shinichi to me. I love your channel and will continue to watch it. Being gay doesn't being to show what you are like. As I've watched you on your video I came to see you are a friendly, kind, warm sensitive and a honest person as well as being gay. Please don't worry what others think about you if you are happy with yourself that all that matters. I'm so proud that you felt strong enough to show your community of fans your really self. I think you are awesome and love to watch your shows and maybe get to see you when I visit Japan if it's OK with you.Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2017.
Hi, Shinichi! Thank you so much for sharing your story with us. I'm so sorry that you've suffered this way in the past, and I'm glad you are in a stable and healthy relationship now. You deserve to be happy, loved, appreciated and safe.
I had no idea you went through so much in terms of relationships...it's amazing you were willing to do so much for your past boyfriends..such a dedicated and kind soul you are. And a very brave and strong person : ) Thank you for sharing your experiences with us, it's great to listen to you talk straight from the heart.
I might be completely off base here and I'm not sure why this ended up in my feed, but in this video I think Shinichi was unhappy with the way his relationship was going at that time. You don't usually look back at your relationships unless you're comparing them with your current one. And if you're comparing them, then something is definitely wrong. I hope you were able to overcome whatever it was that was causing any grief inside of you. I hope you're happy in your decision to stay in the relationship you're in. Nothing is easy, nothing good comes without hard work. But in the end, if you're not happy, no one can make you happy. So don't forget to try to work on yourself. Goodluck.
Wow, this is really old, but I stumbled upon it just now after having major relationship problems for like the 4th time...ive always been taken advantage of and even abused and hearing that even after going through all those things, you're doing ok, it gives me hope ❤
Don’t give up and don’t give up hope. Anyone who abuses you don’t deserve you.
Yikes, you had some bad partners in the past. Glad you finally met Satoshi!
you are not alonne in having a string of bad people and losing hope, and then finding someone that actually respects you when you swear you'll never do it again.
I think reaching the point of valuing yourself above others is a turning point for people that give and love too much. And then the people that see a strong person and like that, start to show up in your life. x
If its any consolation, i spent 6 years loving, working had for, and financially supporting a person, even selling my home and moving to another country to be with him, just to be taken for all i had and treated very badly in the end.
It is not you being weak, but the other person being predatory. You, you are a very kind hearted and caring person. Never stop being you x
and thank you for being so open about your past. We all think no one could have made such decisions as we did, but we are legion. xx The important thing is, you are complete in yourself, and your partner just complements that and allows you to shine x
Thank you so much for this. As a mom of a lgbt child I am so proud of you speaking about your relationship troubles. I am so sorry you met with so many people who took advantage of your kindness. It also makes me so happy that you found your current relationship. You both seem to be good for each other and I hope your days are always filled with love and kindness.
I accidentally run into this channel few days ago. When I watch this video, well... it was not really surprising for me since I think i got the clue when I watch your other channel. But.... thanks so much for sharing, we really appreciate it. No matter how people may speak bad about you or do something bad to you, remember that there're still many people who'll support you and love you. I hope you'll always be happy... ^^
Greetings, Shinichi-san. I just recently discovered your TabiEats Channel and I have watched quite a few of your videos already and I love the Channel. I just discovered this Channel of yours and watched your 'Relationship' video. You have certainly gone through some very difficult situations throughout your life but in the end, you have managed to over-come these personal obstacles and have become stronger as a person. You and Satoshi-san are so adorable together and one can see the joy and happiness that you both share together. Thank you for your honesty and openness and just being you. Love you both!!!
I can relate to your experience, especially when you said "What's wrong with me?" I'm (much) older than you, but I never could be successful in my gay relationships. I tried, but I could never really settle in with anyone and give my attention to him properly, I never found anyone who fully captured my heart. I also had a Christian experience that made it very hard for me to feel confident that I would be okay with God if I were in a gay relationship. Finally, at 37, I gave up. I married a sister in the church, and managed to conceive twins. I've lived in this platonic marriage, celibate since the children were conceived, and now they are in their twenties, and I long for a relationship with another man but feel I am too old and too obligated to my family to seriously consider that kind of change. I also wonder after this long hiatus if I have more to give, the capacity to enter fully into such a relationship, or if I would be at square one, unchanged, dealing with the same issues that made it impossible when I was young. Sometimes, I think I'm just not made for intimate, long-term relationships, that I'm essentially a "loner," and really don't need that. I do fall in love and do get close to other mostly young men and have pleasant, platonic, short-term relationships that provide me a mix of satisfaction and occasionally heart-ache (if I fall harder than I should). I am managing those better now. In the end, after lots of reflection, especially recently, I have been thinking I should just be content with what I have and forget about what I was never able to accomplish when it would have been a real possibility. You said in your recent live confession that you don't regret anything. I think that's healthy, but I'm not yet there. I am on the fence about regret. I wish you well, wish you happiness. You seem good.
Just got to know of your this channel. Thanks for sharing your experiences, although they must have been heartbreaking. Hope you have found true happiness by now! Hugs!
I think it really takes alot for you to be so open with us, thank you for your confidence! Love, love!!
I'm so happy i see this old video. It was bittersweet learning this about your past relationships. I totally relate to that feeling of giving up. Hope you now have your happily ever after.
I am a huge fan of you and Satoshi. My wife and I eagerly await your adventures. That being said, I'm not sure how I got here but I want to say to whoever reads this, regardless of what you do in life and who you do it with, IT IS NEVER OK TO BE ABUSED!! Verbally, mentally, or physically. I am glad that you were able to find peace and that you are living your dreams! I was talking with a person recently that I considered to be a mentor, and he commented that his neighbor was always getting his "ass kicked", but he was gay so in some way he deserved it. I was horrified and hurt that he could even make a statement like that, let alone believe that bullshit. If you are being victimized and you find your way here to this vlog, get some help. You are better than the current situation you are in!
You're a very brave and loving person! But please ask yourself more often when you are in a relationship if you are happy. It's fine to give so much but you have to be loved just as much in return. 💖
Hey Shinichi! Sorry to hear about all the unhappy relationships. I can identify with some of what you said. Even so you appear to be a very sweet and caring person. I really like you more the more I listen to your talks. And you did not choose your boyfriend over your family by moving to Japan. You chose yourself over everything. That is one good thing because at the end of the day we ourselves are the most important person in our lives. I have been in my current relationship for 25 years so maybe you will too! Its not always fun and games and there is a lot of compromise but the rewards can be great too. Lots of hugs to you and your partner. Best.
This video was 3 years ago, and here I am in 2017 thinking "wow, it is a big thing for you to make a video like this one" ..
Hope you are now happy in your life .. :)
I love this honesty. I'm sorry you went through all of that, but you're so open and it can help others. You're amazing
I'm sorry there are a lot of abusers out there I've experience this too, been very hurt and betrayed, I'm there now I don't trust people and feel like there are so many out there with toxic personality disorders, good you put up boundaries and said NO to not accepting garbage from anyone. Your current guy looks very sweet and hope he treats you as sweet as he seems. You guys have an awesome creative outlet together and keep your eyes on the larger picture. Love is about service to a greater creation then our small selves. Xox
Hi shinichi!
i just discovered your videos today and i love it! Because of your videos i want to go back and see Japan again. Im looking forward on your next videos. You and Satoshi are cute couple. Hugs and take care always! :)
So sad that you had to experience all of this. You seem like a very nice and humble person and I truly enjoy the videos you're making, they always make me smile. It is a shame that there are still so many morons out there who cannot accept people how they are or who need to hurt others to feel better about themselves.
Don't let them bring you down and be true to yourself. You're amazing the way you are! ☺
Life is too damn short to live unhappy and without love. The only thing that matters after that is your safety. I am not just talking about your physical wellbeing, but also your mental or emotional wellbeing.
I think very many Gay men go through what you have described for us. I know a close friend of mine from high school has a similar story. You are lucky though, you have Satoshi who is not just your lover but a very close friend. I think he trully cares deeply for you. And because life is just to damn short, that is pretty special.
I love you both, the way you are. You can do it, don't quit trying.
This personal channel of yours is amazing, I'm a huge fan of TabiEats and seeing this more sensitive and personal side of your life makes me really emotional, it shows how life can get better and how you managed to overcome difficult situations in your life. I used to love your channels before and now I love them even more :)
Keep up your work! I'm sure your career here on youTube will grow stronger and stronger
Best of wishes from Italy ;)
You have amazing resilience and faith to keep trying after so many horrible hurts. I'm so pleased for you that you've found contentment with your current partner. I stumbled upon TabiEats because I really like Japanese food, and the first time I laid eyes on you two, I thought, 'These are a couple and such a good pair! If they're not a couple that would be a crime!" I was very pleased to find out you've been together a long time. I think the two of you are lovely. Thanks for sharing. x
Thank you for opening up and sharing about your life. Please know so many of us have "kissed a lot of toads" in life,aka fell for the incorrect people in our lives. But that does not mean we are flawed or do not deserve love and to be truly cherished and cherish those we choose to be with.we do, You do! I love how you are thankful for happiness and love. I pray you continue to be grateful and receive all the love and happiness you seek. Much love,light,and laughter to you from this Bigmomma in Oklahoma.
+Joyful Abyss aww thank oh so much. I appreciate your kind words

thankyou! more power to you and your partner. I am so happy that he is so nice
continue loving each other! be happy you two! :) take care.
Shinichi, it's amazing to me how you can be so forthcoming in discussing your past relationships. Regardless of how good or bad they were, it's what makes us who we are. You are strong because you are true to yourself and that's all that is important in life. Stay truthful, treat others the way you want to be treated and always maintain your dignity because that's what makes you shine.

Loved your story time...heart felt. After all the bad that has happen in your life you are still standing, and that my friend is incredible strength. 💪🏼
Thanks for being so truthful Shinichi, wow you've had some shitty boyfriends, sorry you had to go through that :( glad your happier now :)
Thanks for being open sounds like you have had a lot of hurts and rejection in your life.I also went through a lot of that trying to find my self worth in other people and looking to them to make me happy.when I was 21 I gave myself fully over to God and I never looked back. He blessed me with a loving husband now 31 years and 5 grown children .Two of which we adopted while living in Japan.God is my strength and my everything he is my best friend.Not trying to preach but he loves you, he made you and he does not make mistakes.Mahalo
I'm always support and love you 💛
1st is to know AND love yourself. then, make sure your partner is the same way 'cause IF they're not, how can they truly love another being. if you have a solid foundation, everything else should be easy. ganbatte ne!
Your relationship history sounds a lot like mine. Not the same stories, but a lot of the same kind of people. I'm glad you're happy these days ♡
@Shinichi'sWorld I love TabiEats and began wondering about your experience coming out to your mother. Which led me here. I just have to say, you're very strong to have gone through what you have and continue to be so positive. A lotta love from me to you and yours.
You are so awesome and brave to share your stories, relationships can be challenging and it's inspiring for you to be so authentic to share what you feel. I see in you a sweet soul and a good heart. Continue to express yourself in whatever way makes you feel free!
I think you have an amazing man now. Love at first sight is rare, if your desperate you wont usually find your person but when you become whole all by yourself the right one will come along. When it comes to love 1+1=1. No person can complete you they simply add to what's already there. Like frosting in an oreo, both the filling and the cookie are good on their own but when put together they are even better! If you ask me I think that's love.
Ah Shinichi that breaks my heart! I love all people regardless of there sexual preference as long as you aren't an abusive person!!You and I could talk for ours about relationships!! I no longer get involved bc it never works and they always get abusive! You deserve the very best life has to offer! Never settle! Much love Diana
Watching this made me want to hug you very tight. You are very strong man to have been through so much, and I understand where you are come from. Keep smiling my dear you are wonderful.
Hi, Relationships are difficult and it has to be tended to like raising a Bonsai tree. It's work, but the benefits are great! I just found you and your Food vlogs. keep up the good work!
your amazing. I'm sorry you had such a hard path. but we all love what you do. never stop. and keep that head up.
I know this is an older post but now I i wish I could give you a hug. I've been there too. I am terrible at choosing partners even though I always have the best intentions I usually come away feeling very hurt. I have decided that relationships are likely just not for me and need to focus on other aspects of my life. It seems like you've made better choices and you're on a good path. Keep up the good work! I love both your channels and watching your adventures.
I just discovered Tabieats this past week and have been addicted! Thank you for sharing your story. I've had some horrible relationships in the past as well. Best wishes to you and Satoshi! U2 seem to have so much fun together. I also think your personality is so adorable!
I feel like you're my friend when I hear you talk. :) be strong, Shinichi
Shinichi, I truly admire your courage.
