    You showed a side of Japan that most people don't see. All you usually see are the densely populated areas. I hope to see you catch and cook Jelly Fish!!!!!. You might as well start doing beer reviews too.

    Watching you fish brings back memories of my dad fishing. He didn’t care if he caught anything and he’d fish in the rain. He was born in Japan too and came over to the states when he was 13. Enjoy watching you fish, filet the fish, and hearing you and your family speak Japanese.

    I'm sorry to hear that your dad couldn't come over but that just gives you more reason to visit home and make more videos for us. Taku, it's nice to get to know you and your family.
    Extended family camping has been big in my family for 3 generations. Pacific coast of Oregon, the Cascades and central Oregon. Also 2 week extended family camping road trips. Have visited the western half of the US on those road trips. I wish my family wasn't so traditional. Always hamburgers and hotdogs.
    It was bad and good when my parents split when I was young. Mom married a Japanese man and I was introduced to a whole new world of Japanese and Hawaiian cuisine. He also taught me how to play a game with Hanafuda. I haven't played in so long that I have forgotten. :{
    That beautiful coastline makes me long for the Oregon coast.

    Great video brother. Once again the highlights and a little more personal into your life. I can only imagine what your parents went through those first early years. but destiny has its way with us always. It looks like everyone is happy where they are at you have a beautiful little sister but you probably would not trade her for the world. And it's great to see you do activities with your father. keep sharing those personal moments about yourself I am sure your viewers such as myself are always rooting for you. May the good Lord continue to bless you and everything that you do.
