NOTIFICATION SQUAD: I think Ryotaro has outdone himself again and broken the record for number of brilliant phrases in one video. Of the 4-5 phrases, I think the simple exclamation of “DISCOVERY!” gets my vote. What was yours? Before the release of the last Journey Across Japan video this Sunday (yes it’s finally over this week), Iet this whirlwind tour of the Tokyo station area keep you busy and fill your itinerary with ideas for any upcoming trips to Japan you might have planned. If the video does well, we may consider doing more videos around Tokyo - so if you did actually enjoy it or find it useful, hit the like button on the video. It’s good to be back after a quiet month spent mostly editing and there’s some fantastic stuff lined up for August to make up for the absence, so keep an eye out! Finally, if you do follow Ryotaro’s advice and actually propose to your partner from that spot overlooking Tokyo station, send me a photo and I’ll be sure to pass it on to Mr Discovery. (Special thanks to Tokyo Lens for filming the episode with us: kzread.info)

Something about the irony, and cleverly-constructed dialogue just unlocks my inner comedian. I’ve found myself a little lighter, not forced to take everything so seriously. I really do feel much more positive after watching your videos. It genuinely helps me (even if just for a moment) to forget the pain. Laughter is the best medicine. So thank you very, very much.
