    I'd really like to see a video on your partner's job as a blacksmith in rural Japan. The clips of both of you interacting with your community are always so short, and it would be great to see something a bit longer.
    Pancake is growing up so fast!

      I'll get a video about Jesse's work soon! As for the community videos, I want to respect my neighbor's privacy when creating my videos, which is why they may not be featured as much. I appreciate your understanding.🥹

    Apparently, helping with the bedding is a universal doggo recreation. My Buzz can hear me with the sheets from across the house, and has to be part of it. 😀

    You know the small packets of silica that are sometimes put in food packages or in new bottles of pills? Collect them. Once you’ve buffed off the mould off your leather handbag, put your handbag in a ziplock bag with a few packets of silica inside.

    My childhood growing up reading mangas in Vietnam, daydreaming about a hot summer day in Japan, 0:01 is the exact type of cloud I imagined it every time, with the cicada singing in the background

    The critter section of these videos is like exposure therapy to me. In Puerto Rico we also have huntsman spiders and they are terrifying to me!!! So its always curious how you guys and other Japanese youtubers just let them be.
    Wishing you guys a happy autumn and winter months

    Ah as we go into winter, a vid about escaping the summer heat is just what I needed. A reminder that warmer weather is just around the corner. Haha Amazing video, and its always nice to see the creepy crawlies, monkeys, and other fauna/flora of the area. (Not many people show it) Hope the fall has been good and if there isn't another video before then happy holidays!!!

    At 07:38 my eyes were like 🤩 when I saw the peppers. I grow about 150 different kinds of peppers every season (I have a small company trying to sell peppers, powder, fruits, and even the leaves from the plants), so my eyes were really wide open at that moment 😁 Togarashi peppers, would love to taste those! If you need any advice about peppers (Bell peppers too), please let me know, I'd be happy to tell you more about it. I also know a few things/ technigues about fermenting chili's, so let me know ;)
    I really, really, really, really love the video's, but please make them longer, about 20 minutes or so. It sounds like a demand, but I think a lot of subscribers would love to see more of you and Pancake 🐕

    • @maigomika
      @maigomika  10 місяців тому +5

      150 varieties?! Your hot sauce selection must be insanely good. 😆
      I'm planning to create a longer video without any voice-over towards the end of this year or the beginning of next year. It's going to be an experiment for a new type of video. I'll share more details soon! 😘😘

    I just discovered your channel a couple days ago and have already watched about half of your videos. My wife and I also live very deep in the mountains of rural central Japan (Gunma) so we have a lot in common. I admire your tenacity and curiosity. Although not ethnically Japanese, my wife and I have lived in Japan our entire lives so it doesn't require an adventurous spirit to stay. Nevertheless, life in the mountains is awesome and sometimes a bit challenging. I too am fascinated by your husband's work. I have become friends with a couple of blacksmiths and one is currently making a hunting knife for me. My winters are spent hunting deer so knives are an indispensable tool for me!

    September 2023 in Tokyo and Ishigaki Island was the hottest one I've personally experienced in a while. I was astonished and impressed to see how easily Japanese commuters in full suits and work-wear coped; none of them were sweating!! Meanwhile, I was wilting, trying to fight the 'bad temper' reaction to the heat and humidity combined with so much walking and just a greasy, sweaty mess. Without my combination of Milk Hydrogrip and Lauder's Doublewear, my entire face would have melted off. It's nice to have examples to aspire to and admire, chastened into taking better care and having a better attitude so I thank all the Japanese champions for just cracking on with it! 😰😊🎎👍

    I give a thumbs up before I even start your videos, because I know I will always enjoy them! Many thanks for showing a slice of your life and the stunning countryside. We live in a humid summer climate as well, but it is a tiny fraction of what you experience (and I am grateful for that!) Does Pancake ever try to approach or eat the spiders or other critters? I’m wondering because I think our cat would be on eradication patrol constantly! Best Wishes and I look forward to your next installment!
