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.🥹
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
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. 😀
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
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 🐕
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! 😘😘
This looks like such a fun place to live. I love camping and don't mind creepy crawlies as long as they don't bite. Of course if I lived somewhere like this, I wouldn't go camping anymore lol
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!!!
WOW you are almost at 100K subs - that's wonderful. Wishing you many more followers. Thank you for sharing these insights. Hello from urban London, UK : - )
I love watching these videos, and I also love Japan. I have been several times and as much as I envy your life, I absolutely could not deal with those spiders!!
I loved how Pancake was always so helpful. The amount of heat was one of the biggest issues that I had to overcome when I was in Japan during the summer. Thank you for sharing.
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!
Love Pancake’s tail. Understand the challenges of trying to stay cool. I live in Texas, this summer we had over 3 months of 100 degrees plus and no rain. Thank goodness for central air condition.
The best way to start a weekend is by sitting down with a hot cup of coffee and watching your videos about japan countryside!!! Tysm for your hardwork and sharing videos
Pancake is my Spirit Animal! As always, the music is On Point! Yes, show us some Blacksmithing in the future! HAPPY HOLIDAYS to All! (but NOT the cockroaches, ewww)
It's so nice to see bright and sunny days while I'm snowed in at home. Reminds me there are other times where I'll enjoy going outside more. As for the coming winter, if there are some kind of festivities in your little village, I'd love to hear about them :) Have a happy holiday season!
What fun! I so enjoy your postings. I thought this very morning, "Will today be the one?!" Say Jesse, it just occurred to me that you are a lefty, a lefty smith. Does that pose any inconveniences? All the best to Mika and Pancake too.
I really love your videos. It’s so interesting to see life in the Japanese Countryside, haven’t seen anything like this on UA-cam! Pancake definitely steals the show- loved seeing him swim 😍
I absolutely love your videos, being able to watch Pancake grow from a tiny pupper to your current videos where he is big boi. I do want to know what is the internet situation where you are staying? Also is there a way to gently get the huntsman spiders out instead of burning the place down XD?
❤❤❤❤ loved this video! You do such a great job at creating beautiful montages and scenes, and I enjoy your matter of fact comments and questions you ask locals.
Absolutely love your videos! They bring such a calm/refreshing can-do attitude about everything! I look forward to each new episode (Since I just found your channel a few days ago and am already out of videos to watch). Can't wait to see more videos and adventures!
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!

As always, thank you for sharing. The location you live in is so serene. Pancake is a very lucky pup.
- I could *never* get used to living with spiders. Especially ones *that big !* AHHHHH!!!
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. 😀
What good little helpers we have. What would we do without them 😂 💕
I love how it's filmed. Every frame have something interesting to see
I like how Pancake helps with the chores 😂.

Pancake is so cute.
I really appreciate the good vibes (cicada sounds,scenery )and the culture of japan and of course the cute pancake hope upload often

I really dislike the summer heat so it works the other way too 😂
Thank you for the video showing a glimpse into your lives. Pancake is quite the little character.
Pancake is the cutest! 😭

omg pan hopping across the futon is pure joy.
This videos are almost Ghibli-like haha, you use a lot of "間" in the transitions! That's pretty cool, keep up with it!!!
Pancake has grown so much. Such a cute doggo
Straight ghost chilies?! That’s scarier than the huntsman spiders! Glad you all and Pancake found relief in the summer.
come on now, those were carolina reapers; everyone knows that
Always a pleasure to watch your vids.
Love Pancake’s tail. Understand the challenges of trying to stay cool. I live in Texas, this summer we had over 3 months of 100 degrees plus and no rain. Thank goodness for central air condition.
Beautiful video as always. Despite some of the challenges, this seems such a rewarding life style.
Thank you for some much needed summer vibes on this very rainy and dark day here in Oregon. ☀️🐕
You are so welcome! 😆
Pancake had me giggling the whole way through. 😂
these always put a smile on my face =3 thank you for sharing a slice of your life!

bamboo has so many interesting things it can turn itself into
What fun! I so enjoy your postings. I thought this very morning, "Will today be the one?!" Say Jesse, it just occurred to me that you are a lefty, a lefty smith. Does that pose any inconveniences? All the best to Mika and Pancake too.
It may interest you to know that my Tokyo born/raised wife and I will be married 29 years on the 23rd. We've lived in New Mexico for nine years.
Where are my manners?! You are nearly at 100k subscribers!!! Let's do it!
Thanks! No real inconveniences 😊
YOU DID IT! Congratulations on 100k!
I love this life . The place is great and life is simple. Watching from the Philippines.

Let us know if it helps relieve some of the Australian summer heat!

Love the updates thank you so much! Is it possible to build tiny homes there in the rural areas?
Yes you can, but there isn't really a market for tiny homes here.
You guys are great,keep up the good work
Love your channel. Excellent videos.

Glad you enjoy it!
Yay new video and more Pan-chan!
Have you had any skunk ape sightings. If not... can you venture out a bit further in the wilderness? Thanking you.
such a wonderful video series, thanks for sharing it with us!
Very interresting....i like your videos
Absolutely love your videos! They bring such a calm/refreshing can-do attitude about everything! I look forward to each new episode (Since I just found your channel a few days ago and am already out of videos to watch). Can't wait to see more videos and adventures!
Ha ha! Thank you for your undivided attention, and watching all my videos! 🥹 I know it’s not a lot there, but there are many more to come😆

For some reason, pancake has never showed much interest in spiders 🤷♀️
