Saying "modern civilization finally made its way up from mainland Japan" right after talking about the Ainu people is no different from saying "modern civilization finally arrived in the Americas from Europe". It's a huge gloss over the colonization history of Hokkaido by Imperial Japan in the 19th Century, during which Ainu people were dispossessed from their land and captured to work in forced labour mines. It would've been okay if you were simply ignorant and left the Ainus out like other average foreign travel vloggers; instead you decided to bring up the subject for your entertainment content without any research or respect in a very frivolous and distasteful manner.
This is what using the internet for good is all about. I get a big dopamine hit every time I watch an episode and it is in the same class as Bourdain. Its the best
Just finding this channel. Amazing photography and so much better than 99% of creators who waste your time talking at the camera trying to build a personal brand. Instead this channel shows amazing landscapes and focuses on telling the stories of amazing craftsmen and restauranteurs. I love it. Dare I say this show gives me the same vibes when I first started watching Bourdain in my youth. Amazing show.
@@tominotopia Its also a direct rip off of Anthony Bourdain. All the way down to the monotone voice and writing. This is style theft in the most blatant sense. But people don't like truth about the things they like.
@@Mutiny960always got to be one hater. The man is making great engaging videos and it’s not about him. Most importantly it’s about the culture he’s experiencing, learning about and embracing. Bourdain was a legend and did this brilliantly. Style theft though? Come on man. If that were true they’d literally be no food-related videos on UA-cam what a stupid comment. Only good vibes in this video, more than you can say about your comment.
...It's an entirely different business model... You do realize 99% of creators' main income is from UA-cam ad revenue, right? They have to post every single week or more. They don't have the resources to create long-form documentaries like a clothing brand.
Then, you should also check out Attaché Travel. The quality of his guides are equally well crafted-from research to writing, cinematography to presentation. Very Bourdain-esque.
DIRT feels like what true humanity is all about ! Love the vibes with this series, especialy the energy of Josh & Rip. Looking forward to the next one !
You’ve me brought tears when you said people from Hokkaido are hardworking and fun. They are really kind of that simple in the best way possible. And yes, always help with the dishes. Kudos to this fantastic video of my beloved Hokkaido!
Not only the script and the visuals (both camera and editing) are amazing here… The soundtrack is fire too! Keep up the perfection of work you guys are always presenting, Huckberry.
Hey Thanks! The music in DIRT is originally composed by a group called "Actual Magic". Check out our full interview with them and a few of their tracks here: bit.ly/3xTvD87
@@Huckberryco This is amazing. Btw, very well written article. It gives a great understanding of their creative process. Congratulations one more time!
@@Huckberryco, really great music. I scanned through their all Soundcloud profile but still couldn't find that beautiful track playing at 8:50 here. Shazam doesn't know it too :) Is there any to find or purchase it somewhere else?
@@dmitryivantsov892 Actual Magic composes some tracks completely from scratch for each DIRT episode, so that is probably one of them! Unfortunately this episode might be the only place you’ll hear/find it, since they are hand-made by the group for DIRT. We’ll pass along your love of the music to them, and let them know people are wanting more of their music tracks on in the wild!
Dude, honestly this is therapy XD. I was having a very bad day feeling alone and lost. Then I watched DIRT, it made me so happy and excited reminded me of all the places I visited, the food I ate and people I met, essentially reminding me how eventful it has been so far and how grateful I am! KEEP BRINGING JOY.
Hokkaido is basically my second home during winter for the past 10 years. The episode was terrific and absolutely captured the essence of the Hokkaido snow and food culture that I love! Great job guys!
Hokkaido...unbelievable. Incredibly wonderful tour Huckberry. Man...my son and I are going to go there before I die. Thank you so much for the inspiration. Love you all and everyone that watches.
This reminds me that you can still be youthful at their age. I hope to never lose my inner child like you guys. What a good series, I’m so glad I just discovered this
Many thanks to your team for reminding us how beautiful and diverse our world is. Each of your videos is an adventure in which you want to participate and be a part of your family. Thank you very much!
Holy sh*t. This is what life is about, experiencing local, making exceptional memories and appreciating nature and all the people that take care of it. Feel good stuff right here!
Hey guys, thank you so much for this amazing, brilliantly shot and easy going narrated little documentary. As someone who is working for almost thirty years in the TV and media industry I really appreciate a well shot documentary with a present but not too present narrator, beautiful footage and a fitting soundtrack. And as someone who loves Japan I can only say thank you for being curious, open minded and respectful towards the Japanese people and their culture. 本当にありがとうございました！
this is by a thousand miles the best food documentary I ever watched in youtube. The music, oh my god the photography is some of wildest and best i ever seen. Even better than a lot of movies, the people the design. Its just amazing
one of the greatest video series I have ever seen in my entire life loved all episodes started with New York thank you so much for creating this love from Rajasthan ❤❤
I miss Hokkaido. Being able to ride on an empty mountain is amazing. Was fortunate enough to do so at Mount Asahi-dake. Even though the mountain was closed due to heavy snowfall, my group got access and it felt like I was riding on the ocean with a snowboard. Amazing place even in the middle of winter.
what an incredible capture of Hokkaido and its cuisine. As someone who lives here and has been trying to showcase the food here for 2 years now, I still wouldn't be able to live up to this video. Phenomenal storytelling, voice-over and introduciton to the locals. Awesome video mate, just the inspiration I needed!
So refreshing to not see someone make a big deal out of eating shirako. I really appreciated the humble, respectful vibe y'all brought to this adventure.
I love every episode of this series. feels like the show has soul in it, the best way to explore, I cant wait for the next episodes and hopefully many more to come, around the world. also that shot of Josh out on the shore after the surf and sea behind and dark and raining WOW.
These video need to be on the Discovery Channel or Travel channel. I would love for a full length episodes. Japan and Okinawa are two countries that I have so much love, respect and admiration for. As a young Marine stationed at MCAS Futenma, Okinawa I was able to see so much about Japanese and Okinawan culture.
I just want thank you all who created those series of film about Japan so beautifully. Those are the best films I have ever seen showing my home country. I simply appreciate what you showed to the world. Personally I am from Fukuoka and lived in PNW for more than a decade and lived NYC for 6 years. So I really appreciate showing real Japan and captured Japan so so so well!!! Please keep up the great work like this and come back again soon!
People are not just giving complements for no reason here. Wow. This is good. Completely filling the hole parts unknown left and then some. More please.
Wow, how blessed you were to have been rolled out the red carpet in Japan! I lived there years ago, and seeing you embrace the people, the sea, mountains and food is just wonderfully inspiring. Thank you for being such a beautiful American to the beautiful Japanese!
You seem to have such an authentic respect for the places/people you visit. Something that feels like it's missing in a lot of travel/food vlogs. Can't wait to see where you take us next ❤
This is honestly one of the most beautifully shot and presented travel series. Seeing Hokkaido, which is often neglected, and learning more about the culture and food is amazing.
I've lived in Japan for 35 years I have been watching a couple of your videos that I just stumbled onto and I really love the way you respect and enjoy at the moment I'm working building some houses in hakuba Japan its such a beautiful place I know you would love it!! I really enjoyed watching your videos and I look forward to watching some more!!! Thank You!

I just found your channel today. What a breath of fresh air. Please never stop. I am just starting out my life and can't wait to see and do the things you have shown us. Thank you.
the quality, the narration, the videography. MY GOD. You makes me want to visit japan again! thank you for creating such a beautiful content. Keep up the amazing works!
How did I JUST discover this channel? Sic stuff. ALL of it. The way it's shot, the music, the editing, the flow and continuity, the FEELING. Top notch and I am hooked. Gonna see EVERY episode for sure.
I thought this channel would have at least a million subs based on the visuals and editing. His voice blends in nicely too everything else, keep it up!
What a fantastic piece of content (well, the entire series, really, but particularly enjoying Japan). The storytelling, approach, collaboration with the locals, videography, writing,...just excellent.

holy moly, i feel the same, it’s incredible
Best comment man, I really hope there's a lot more ahead.
One hundo percent. I can't wait to visit myself and just listen and absorb everything about this amazing culture.
A B was an A$$ whole if you worked for him you'd know
and he's not an asshole, how refreshing

I would rather watch this than woke PC garbage that is being pushed on people. This man gives me hope that society globally isn't totally F***** yet.
The voice, the color grading, the vibe just perfect
It's like a carefree young spirit
You’ve me brought tears when you said people from Hokkaido are hardworking and fun. They are really kind of that simple in the best way possible. And yes, always help with the dishes. Kudos to this fantastic video of my beloved Hokkaido!
they're all have more familial and neighbors bond than the rest of the main island. truly one of the best
this video is a perfect proof that life is beautiful. so beautiful, i cried, at part when you said "always help with the dishes".
I wish these episodes went for 45-60 mins, I could watch these for hours
Im with you extend the time we can't get enough
No keep it 25 to 30 minutes It's more digestible every channel is making like our videos nowadays nobody has time. The length is perfect
Not only the script and the visuals (both camera and editing) are amazing here… The soundtrack is fire too! Keep up the perfection of work you guys are always presenting, Huckberry.

Heck yeah! Glad we could help cheer up your day. We got plenty more episodes for you to check out as well. Stay grateful out there!
I found out about Hokkaido country while looking for a trip to Japan. This video gives me comfort and makes me think about traveling.
I love every episode of this series. my soul feels alive everytime i watch this. brings me hope. i love to explore this way.
Hats off to DIRT. Such an incredible show. Make them 45-60 minutes!
Hokkaido is basically my second home during winter for the past 10 years. The episode was terrific and absolutely captured the essence of the Hokkaido snow and food culture that I love! Great job guys!
Glad we were able to capture the place well! We appreciate the seal of approval!
This is my favorite travel/food series of all. The camera, the editing, the storytelling, everything. Always a good time.
Watch Anthony Bourdain, that's who they are copying.

DIRT is the absolutely best and Josh Rosen is the man! Please keep doing these!!
I can't help but watch these with a huge smile on my face...This is what true "culture" is all about. Thank you, and keep them coming.

Great episode. Dirt has to be one of the best parts of youtube, keep these travels coming. Great work as always Josh.
I wish these were longer episodes! So good!!
This show is fantastic in every way! It needs its own youtube channel!!
People are not just giving complements for no reason here. Wow. This is good.
Completely filling the hole parts unknown left and then some. More please.
Thank you so much for letting us watch this beautiful video for free 😊❤
Huckberry really has a great thing here. Every episode of Dirt is pure gold. I love them.
I teared up watching this, so many beautiful meals and people.
Wow, how blessed you were to have been rolled out the red carpet in Japan! I lived there years ago, and seeing you embrace the people, the sea, mountains and food is just wonderfully inspiring. Thank you for being such a beautiful American to the beautiful Japanese!

Yes ! Dirt is what good content is all about..pair that with the amazing vibes of people in this show!
Best series I’ve seen of anything in long time

This is travel documentary at its finest on YT.
I might repeat myself but this is for sure the best series on UA-cam by far! Please never stop doing that!
the best food, travel, documentary ive ever seen
Another excellent aspect of this production is that the soundtrack always slaps
Hey Thanks! If you are digging the soundtrack, the music in DIRT is originally composed by a group called "Actual Magic". Check out our full interview with them and a few of their tracks here: bit.ly/3xTvD87
