My FIRST TIME in JAPAN but I Can ONLY SPEAK JAPANESE

After 3 years of studying Japanese, I'm heading to Japan for the first time ever, and I'm also challenging myself to speak nothing but Japanese only!

My goal in this trip is to visit all the 聖地 (holy lands) of my favorite anime and games. Including the 龍が如く (Yakuza/Like a Dragon) game series, and the 青ブタ anime series. I also want to meet up with my online Japanese friends for the first time. And of course, I want to find out whether my Japanese actually works in Japan.

Discover whether 3 years of learning Japanese is enough for me to navigate the streets of Tokyo and solve unexpected problems!

Thank you for the comments and support!! 😭

I've been pretty stressed out for the past few weeks and haven't been able to sleep at all. This was my first time making a vlog too, so I got quite frustrated because I kept getting stuck not knowing how to progress the video and tell the story in an interesting manner. This was all I could come up with so I hope it's still enjoyable for you!

These comments really give me motivation to keep going! I'm very happy to be able to share my adventures in Japan!

Part 2 will be my next full day in Japan that's filled with even more action!

So please subscribe and hit the bell to get notified when it comes out!! 😁😁

Woah the editing is so good! It's half anime, half vlog, and pure hype!

[qayyimful]

Why are you not famous already. Your content is so great. At least 100k subscribers. You deserve it.

[nihwa]

Abroad in Japan theme for being abroad in Japan hahaha *also, this was really enjoyable, and I wish you had slowed down a bit more because it would have been cool to see you in the interactions or in "real time" as you told the stories. The love for Yakuza is

日本語の発音が完璧です！
日本語ペラペラな外国人でも、
発音だけはネイティブにはなれないですが、
あなたの日本語の発音は、
日本人が話す日本語の発音と同じです！
凄いの一言です！素晴らしい👍🎉

The station lady assumed you already knew how you were going to get there, via bus, taxi, train, or subway depending on what station you were at. Being fluent in Japanese sets your bar really high, and you can only really know these things by living there lol

[peteryu]

I watched the whole video and was shocked that your channel wasn't super big. Great quality!

[sonarun]

Thank you to the algorithm! I am such a beginner at Japanese but I loved the “Japanglish” to help me get familiar with terms. ありがとう🤘

[daioujoseph]

I'm so proud of you dude! I just started today but this gave me so much motivation to keep the discipline to keep going so hopefully I can do the same one day!

[iRaphahell]

Actually a really good video, good job! Got all hyped up when you got to the Yakuza series part.

[YuanW]

I just started learning Japanese and I love how you were so determined to stick with your challenge. Subbed

[onrir]

I randomly half-watched some of your grammar videos a few days ago whille on the bus. Thought you probably had like a few hundred thousand subscribers but it appears not! Thanks for the content, I'm subscribing this instant :D

[rivershy]

niiice, the talking scenes are pretty funny lmao. cant wait to see what happens next

[rigelr]

8時間, hahaha I died xD I'm also learning Japanese and this was so funny! I went to Japan last year but could barely speak it, my progress is literally so slow.... I think you're awesome to try only doing it all in Japanese

[loleder]

This is so cool! I'm thrilled to see how your adventure continuous! I really this series and your channel get the attention this deserves! Great Job!

[anastasialeonhart]

I rarely comment but this video was so captivating! Don't even worry about the editing style, it was engaging and nice and you did manage to tell the story very well! I also appreciated the small details that you included that make a first trip to a new place seem very relatable, e.g. like blanking out in a foreign language and being confused where to go. Loved the video, looking forward to more content from your trip! :)

[mariktsuz]

Just found out your channel today, such a hidden gem, many high quality videos, will watch all of them ...

[LLieu-kt]

The youtube algorithm brought me here. To my (intermediate level Japanese) ear, your Japanese sounded really good! I enjoyed your humour and how you edited your video. Thanks for sharing your experience!

[jayquanpov]

You should have at least half a million subs, your channel is very informative

[matasa]

Dude! You finally made it and you’re doing so good! Enjoy your time there!
