Hearted Youtube comments on Life Where I'm From (@LifeWhereImFrom) channel.

  1. I wasn't expecting to sit down and watch 2 full hours of Youtube this morning, but this is an exceptionally well done documentary. Amazing job.

  2. I'm halfway through the video and i just had to comment what a great channel this has been. So much substance presented so neatly without a hint of the standard YT obnoxiousness or sensationalisation. Stuff like this is what Youtue was made for.

  5. It's always nice to see how passionate and honest these chefs are! I've tried Soba once and it was so good :D I also admire the fact that you do all these things not only for yourself but for use the viewers and because of you, I am very VERY eager to visit Japan and go see all these things! Thank you very much!!!

  6. I'm tearing up at work. Our elders are precious people who lived long and hard lives. I'm grateful he has such supportive children.

  7. “Short version” looks at the time “30 minuets” “I wanna see the long version”

  8. Hawaiians have a similar traditional cloth making technique with bark from local mulberry trees. The material is called kapa. It's interesting how different we are, yet how similar we think.

  9. This is excellent work Greg and I'm so happy someone is making content like this. Thank You!!

  10. As much as Greg tried to make the shot relaxing and scenic, the censor just made it hilarious 3:34

  11. Color me completely impressed. I love these kinds of modern documentaries. You can really tell that all of the children have been working together (their whole lives!) for a long time. Such a beautiful coordinated effort!

  12. Glad it's not just me lol

  13. This is one of the best insights of the reality of the life in a small town in Japan. I love your videos, they represent a perspective of the life in Japan that most of us western people don't fully understand. Great work from you and your sister in law.
    504
  14. This is a really interesting video! From reading the comments, I can already tell that this is going to be controversial. I love how you try to show Japan from as many different perspectives as possible. Keep up the awesome work!

  15. Well done adventure Greg! Glad to be in your way for a few minutes of it 🤟😂 🚲 PS: nice grandma basket 🧺 in the rear!

  16. I was overwhelmed by おもてなし Japanese hospitality. I felt as though I was being treated like movie star. From Tokyo to Kagoshima. So many people went out of their way to help me. It wss the Japanese people who made my stay in their country so memorable.

  17. 6:45 "... and I don't know if he specialised in foreigners" - "I think he does" Narrator: "He does." A very Arrested Development moment right there

  18. Goodbye is a shortened version of 'God be by ye' (god be with you) but no one would associate saying it with religion. There might be a name for things that originally came from religion but have lost that meaning and are now just part of culture in general.

  19. My wife leaves Me to save the spot!

  20. Wait a second, I've seen that guy before

  21. i like david, hes seems so chill and knowledgeable

  22. It really is interesting to see what's the "perfect" breakfast for each family/individual. Great ideas for a series! Thank you.
    459
  23. "and i quote rihanna: it's 'work work work work work'" bahahaha that wasn't something i expected in one of your videos
    455
  24. Thanks for having us, Greg! Good work putting this all together!
    445
  25. That's a lot of the wife we are seeing (and hearing) in this video!

  26. In New York, so long as you aren't actually hit, crossing the street at ANY given moment is 100% fine. Oh and you can honk for absolutely no reason at all. Lanes? Those are just a suggestion, taxis decide how many lanes there are 😂

  27. "With john out of the way" how savage xD
    437
  28. Wow, I really like this video. I am not going to be driving in Japan anytime soon but I love the editing and the overall production of this video. Everything from the cutting of scenes to how the information is presented ( such as the introduction of each topics and the music cues) is really well done. Of course you put your personality in it, making the video fun to watch. I had a great time watching and learning about driving in Japan :)

  29. The guy at the end IS INCREDIBLE. Mushing that entire hand size "temaki" sushi into his mouth is the video embodiment of me eating leftovers at 3am in the morning. Btw, nice video Greg!

  30. At the moment, I work in plastic recyceling research and in the first 3,5 minutes you covered SO much knowledge students at our uni have to learn in 3 years - that's really great! Also the method you used to determine how much plastic/ g food is used is actually scientifically correct. Thanks for all the source material, I am in fact interested in studying if there's a difference in the way Japan and Europe treat their plastic waste. (seems not so much) So your video is motivating me to follow up on that question!

  31. These videos are so fun and informative. I love watching the kid's antics and how you weave in the information along the way. The background music is "just right". Thanks so much for all of the many hours of work you put into these beautiful videos.

  32. They're such a fun group! Please do mor einterviews with them on all sorts of topics.

  33. After watching the video we ordered some teas and tea biscuits from them. They sent the products immediately (arrived in just a few days). The products were carefully packaged and the box was well packed. You can tell they care about their products. Included a newsletter about what is going on with the business and the town. Over all a great experience. Looking forward to enjoying the teas and biscuits this week. Thanks for sharing this inspiring story!

  34. As a long-term foreign resident of a small town in Japan, my own experience is that people are quite welcoming as long as you make an effort to integrate into the community. This includes joining volunteer duties, local events, and local committees — to the best of your ability. No one cares whether you’ve mastered polite-form Japanese or follow cultural norms perfectly (not even all local people can manage this!). The point is putting in the time and effort. It’s not always easy, but overall my own experience has been great.

  35. Of all your videos, this one might be my new favorite. It's gratifying to watch true craftsmen perfecting their trade, indeed they are real-world Shokunin. Greg, the quality of this video is outstanding!
    381
  36. The quality of your work is amazing. Please continue making deep, connecting, cultural videos like this. There is so much love into your work, I can feel it behind my computer. Hope you will never be bored doing these, I'm sure I'll never be bored to watch them.

  37. 2:38 the oil/fat that you were using was at its smoking point, which is where it is getting to its maximum temperature before it starts to "burn" when that super heated spot meets the open flame of your gas grill it ignites causing the flame up, it also happens when you add a liquid (especially alcohol) because it steams up and send small particles of the flammable oil up which can ignite. I hope my explanation helped a bit... Source: 10 years working in restaurants

  38. I absolutely LOVE your channel!! My grand children and I watch together. They think it is so interesting to see how kids from other countries live, go to school, eat, etc. Thank you keep up the great videos!! I just HAD to laugh at my grand son. When he saw the frozen fried rice he said, "Wow Nona( grandchildren's name for me) you never let us have frozen fried rice! We always have to wait 2 days for it!" Lol The 2 day wait is because I cook the rice today for fried rice tomorrow. Lol

  39. This is why "Life Where I'm From" is my favourite channel. Mr. Greg shows you japan as it is. No sugar coating. This channel is beautiful, cinematic, aesthetically pleasing in quality means. To be honest I would not have watched this video if it were made by another channel. Thank you LWIF.

  40. i never really write comments on YouTube but all your videos are just fantastic, so informative and professionally done. I hope you see this comment because there are a lot of people out there that are extremely happy to see a video of yours pop up in their sub box :) can't wait for the next one!

  41. I'M TIRED.!! 😂 Shin is me while cooking! 😅

  42. As expected, this was a really amazing video. Thanks for bringing light to the issue and making the video.

  43. Great, now I'll be deported from Japan for breaking my chopsticks incorrectly & I didn't even make it to the first course. I guess I'll just dine on all the variations of KitKats. Or do those need to be broken in a particular manner?
    348
  44. The quality of this video is exceptional. I can't imagine how long all the research/planning, footage, and editing must have taken. Amazing job! 😁🇯🇵
    344
  45. I've seen so many videos about onsen, but I've never learned this much about how they work! Excellent video!
    341
  46. As someone who consumes a good amount of Japanese content on YouTube, you don't really get to hear these things. These topics are usually ignored for self-interests or brevity. So I appreciate seeing something different.
    333
  47. Alex knows where all the most interesting residential buildings are! BTW, the expression on the older gentleman's face watching Akko take her measuring steps at the end was priceless!
    325
  48. You guys all look different wow. So basically you’re what the world would look like in the future where all ethnicities are mixed and there would be no longer different singular ethnicities lol
    323
  49. I watched both the part 1 and part 2. And oh boy, this documentary is a work of art and out of passion. This deserves people's time, attention, and RECOGNITION! Great job and my utmost respect to Greg, his team, and to all who did have the courage to be part of this!

  50. Great video. In high school I was an exchange student and was really let down I didnt see all of "weird"Japan. Recently I took my wife to Japan for our anniversary and took a few detours into those niche cultural areas and was still underwhelmed. I think the internet paints this unfair image of what Japan is like. I think the weird stuff most westerns will find is how quite things are, how clean things are, how quickly trains board and how efficient things are. It's a great speed of life.
