- Welcome to my youtube channel! Taking a break from making drum videos and gonna give you a tour my Japanese apartment!
This is an Interac sponsored apartment in Hokuto, Hokkaido, Japan. Hokkaido is the northernmost island of Japan and a wonderful place to live! Plus, very cheap! My apartment was unsubsidized yet it was only $350 a month!
Please comment below if you have any questions about life in Japan.
In case you want more info about muting your drum set for your apartment:

The little chime is a way of saying "Your overwork begins NOW."
Hahahaha you know this culture too well. 😅
@8:19 its because in Japan they bathe on a stool sitting down.
Woaa! You live in a Mansion! Can’t believe how much space you have.
Love the drum tips, we once tried to practice in our apartment in the UK, drummer used an electric drum kit, we ran everything into a desk and then each had a headphone mix, it was genius! But… neighbours upstairs complained after 5 minutes, apparently the bass drum thud was being heard upstairs.
Omg that sucks to hear about the neighbour upstairs, especially after how hard you tried to keep it quiet.
The bass drum seems to be the thing that annoys the neighbours. If you can find a way to muffle the bass drum, you shouldn`t have any more complaints.
@@dennissullivandrum5943 yeh, we cut off the drummers foot, seemed to have done the trick 🤪🤣🤣🤦♂️
Yeah, this is a great apartment! Imagine 5' tall me trying to use those kitchen cabinets........ You made great use of your space and can't wait to see what you will do with your next one!
Also, as much as I love baths, F that heating bill!!
I've slept on those layers beneath the drums, can confirm they're great
I agree! Very comfortable.
Dinnis sensei .I had a lot of fun listening to the description of your apartment in Hokuto. Please tell me about the room and your life in Fukushima. I will continue to listen to your wonderful drum performances. I wish all the best.
Thank you so much!! I’m glad you enjoyed my video. I will continue to post soon.
Very informative and great to watch Dennis. I too am thinking about applying with Interac and am a songwriter musician that plays drums so this was cool to see! I guess all I’m concerned with is, 1. Do you get a choice where you go in Japan to work? And 2. How much help is there financially and hopefully these important things are laid out before leaving your home country? All the best!
Thanks for watching my video!
With Interac, they will ask you on your application if you have a preference for where you would like to be placed. After you`re hired, you can negotiate a bit about your location preference and they will do the best they can to accommodate you.
In regards to financial help, Interac recommends you save up at least $5000 before you move to Japan, but they offer loans if you can`t bring that much over and need some financial help while you get settled in.
Hope this helps!
@@dennissullivandrum5943 Thank you very much Dennis! You’re response is of great help as these were some of the things I was unsure of. Thanks again and Wishing you a Merry Christmas!
@@harrylongofficial6248 glad I could help! Let me know if you need help with anything else.
Why do I consistently hear Tom Cruise's voice while watching your video?!
it was wild, I was waiting to hear "talk to me Goose" hah
Fun set up for $350/month. is this via the offerings w/ the company or 1 you found on your own?
Hahahaha you’re not the first person who said I sound like Tom Cruise XD. I take it as a compliment. 😁
My apartment found the apartment! They originally gave me a couple to choose from and listened to my preferences when searching for apartments.
Hopefully going to Japan for interac by April.. Kanto North. Hope it's fun! Didn't know you could do JET after interac. How was that?
Yep you can apply to JET from within Japan! The only downside is that they usually require you to go back to the US for the JET interview at one of the consulates. I got to do my interview via zoom though because of the pandemic, so it all worked out for me! :D
OK, where do you do your laundry? Is there a set up outside one of your windows that allows you to dry your clothing at home? What is the view from those windows?
I usually hang my clothes next to the heater in my apartment. I don’t need to hang them outside, they dry up quick year round inside.
The view from those windows is…..the next houses wall. 😂 Guess you can’t have everything with this low price. 🤷🏼♂️
First!
Now that you are leaving, how do you move your drums?
I had a moving company pack up my drums for me. I had so much stuff to move that I needed a moving company anyway.
I'm sure that charm was lovely the first 27 times you heard it.
Hahaha yep, only had to hear it 1,000 more times after. They played it at noon everyday as well!! 😱
Dennis - cool video. This is your 2nd cousin David. My dad would be your Great Uncle Donald. Aunt Sheila was just hear for a visit and told us about you being in Japan. When you get back to the states you should plan to come see us. Would love to see you swap stories with you about family and visits to Seaside. Be safe in your travels and please tell your Dad hello for me!
When did you arrive?
