      YESSSSSS TAMRA!!!! That is exactly what I was going for! I was irritated with enjoying a UA-cam video and suddenly an ad came out of nowhere ruining the vibe. So I planned Tokyo Tours to be like Sailor Moon or Pokemon, but with the interesting and nerdy things I like, like trivia or facts. So I actually hand-lay each ad to be in-between the Question and Answer so people can think about the answer, and so that it doesn't disturb the video flow. UA-cam might add some of it's own ads too, but I hope they aren't too disruptive.

Martina dahlink, this newish series you have created is just lovely. I love menus and really, really swooned over your last episode. It appeared to be an upscale version of Fran’s resto in TO complete with the big menu! Today I just wanted to be with you exploring and sampling everything. I have long wanted to try Japanese curry and rice but those cream puffs take the cake🙄. You seem to be really getting settled in Nippon and I send my best wishes for success. Cheers, Colin

    Well, I have done a bit of research and as it turns out, the Tokyo is Yours tag belongs to a clothing brand. I have taken the grahpetti for something more, for indeed it gave me hope. I took the tag litterally. So graphetti tag or a deeper meaning, it still means so much to me.

      Ahhhh exactly what I was going for! I was 100% inspired by the Sailor Moon and Pokémon pre-commercial screens and post-commercial screens! I know that ads are where I make income as a video creator, but at the same time, I’ve struggled with how irritating it is to watch a UA-cam video and have the ad ruin the flow and feeling, so I wanted to find some middle ground. Give something to the audience to think about (the trivia) while a “commercial break” let’s you pee and grab some snack 😂 and you can return to the show for the answer!

    Wow this video was so professional but with a lot more charm than you see on television/streaming nowadays. Reminds me of travel shows and random segment shows I’d find flipping channels in the early 2000’s that had a studio behind them but still felt intimate/indie. You can just tell when creators care about a project.

    Wandering on non-tourist paths is what I love doing on vacations. When my bf and I went to San Francisco, we tried to experience SF like someone living and working there while most tourists go straight to Fisherman’s Warf. It was a weekday and the lunch hour just hit. We were on Kearny St where everybody was coming down from the big buildings to go get lunch. We saw which places had lines out the door. Pretty much we were soaking in the energy of the people going to lunch and we were picturing where we’d be going if we were them (obviously trying not to get in their way since they are working and we were two tourists observing busy people go eat). Your trip to the curry place reminded me of our SF trip because it was the Japanese curry shop that had the long line out the door and people walking out with cardboard boxes of several orders going back to the skyscrapers. It smelled so good. The line was way too long and we really didn’t want to obstruct people going back to work so we had to skip the curry place. But ever since then thankfully more and more Japanese curry shops have been popping up all around. But they’re nowhere near the beauty of Young’s Curry and omg that amazing shiny egg WOW! Anyway thank you for these amazing tour videos of Tokyo. And thank you for keeping “Godzilla bites” alive 😬

In another video you said if we had requests for things we wanted to see, and I have one... you seem to be a plant nerd like me... could you do a tokyo tour or a little video on parks, or paths or even a plant nursery??? where there is cool trees or plants? I just love their beautiful flora and they are culture that really appreciates their gardens. Anywhooooo... keep up the amazing work!

    First of all, your hair is stunning 💜💗
    Second of all, I love this Tokyo Tours series
    And third, the part when you were taking pictures of recycling bins and the vending machines is so relatable. I also enjoy taking pictures of simple daily items that people tend to overlook when I travel. Objects like stoplights, air conditioning units, construction signs in different languages that I can't even try to read! It's little things like that that I appreciate when I travel because it really gives character to the streets/ neighbourhood and it's fun to compare to the city where I live in now, and I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way
