It might be great for them, if they like it! 😁

I've never been to Japan but the Sunflower song lives rent free in my head.

SuuuunfloOOooowaaaahh SunnnFLoOOOwaaaaaaah. I heard all the new ferries have massive speaker systems installed - like nightclub strong. There's rumors you can hear it, over the waters, late at night, like the sirens calling out to Odysseus, bringing madness, then death.

Me: Man, I feel crummy. I need something to brighten my day or distract me. What's on YouTu- Solo Travel Japan: 🎶 Sunflower, Sunflower 🎶 Me: Yes. Thank you.

Just think of how many people around the world now know the sunflower 🌻 song but will never ever step foot on the ferry 😅

Not many people here in Japan get to step onboard a Sunflower ferry - especially the one from Oarai to Hokkaido. It is almost always fully booked and expensive. I've been here 32 years and am yet to successfully book a Sunflower ferry. Having heard that bloody song and seeing the fact that we are 'boading' instead of 'boarding', I feel somewhat relieved that the Gods have come to my rescue each and every time and made sure that booking the ferry is impossible.

Sunflower...SUNFLOWER ? I am having flashbacks and the song is already in my head playing over and over :)

Yay! Nothing like hearing that song again to brighten up my day! My daughter was in Japan earlier in the year for school and during her last week took the Sunflower ferry the other direction: Osaka to Beppu. She also mentioned how the buffet was heavy on the fish but not much in the way of other meats. At my request, she even bought me one of those blue/gold-braided "Sunflower Heartfelt Hospitality" hats from the gift shop I had noticed in other KZread videos. "Sunflower! Sunflower!"

I really need to start watching these with the volume down just so I don’t start singing sunflower. Tonight I started singing it to my kitten who was sleeping on my shoulder lol.

I saw the title, and the song started playing in my mind😅. This is a lovely ship, and looked comfortable. I am always glad to see a ferry video-happy early birthday to me! Thanks for taking us along, Solo-san.

That was so long ago yet so close

After a stressful day (carpenter ant war currently being waged 😓) this was just what I needed to relax. Thanks for always providing calming and hunger-inducing videos!

I continue to be completely surprised at how reasonably priced such voyages in Japan are, making them accessible to everyone. I live in British Columbia, Canada and am a frequent traveler on BC Ferries where you would be lucky to find coffee and a donut for $5.70, let a lone an all-you-can-eat buffet with such variety.

Not being able to turn "Sunflower" off is a distinct disadvantage to the semi-private pods. I'd be wearing earplugs or staying outside as long as possible to avoid descending into complete madness before departure. I loved the smiley-faced potato cakes - we have those here in America, too, and like dinosaur-shaped chicken nuggets, they're considered a food for children. Still tasty, though 😁. The sashimi looked wonderful, as did the desserts. Thanks for sharing the trip with us!

I do not speak Japanese, however I have watched all of your videos on the Sunflower and can easily sing the entire song from memory now.

Ah, "Sunflower...Sunflower..."🌻🌻🌻🌻 I've been singing this to the sunflowers I grow in my backyard, lol. They seem to like it, though I my pronunciation still isn't the best lol. Anyway, I love the Sunflower ferries and definitely plan to use them to travel around Japan. What a nice, comfortable room. I do have a question though. I'm an inch below six feet, will the beds fit me?

Sunflower! Sunflower! As long as your neighbors aren't noisy, I can see that room being very restful!

Awesome!!!!! “Sunflower 🌻 Sunflower 🌻 !” So happy now.

Living in a country where semi-private rooms are safe must be nice. I'm not sure I could get used to it though if I moved. I'm too used to being around people who would steal something if it isn't nailed down, lol.

I think that ship is pretty spectacular in the entrance hall around the stairs. It’s really cool to see that movie screen on the ceiling.

The Sunflower song was stuck in my head for three days after the last Sunflower video. Thanks for doing that to me again on this one 😂 Safe journeys.

Thank you very much for the video. You have a good appetite 😂. cheers

Sunflower always resolves back to the tonic chord. 😊

That seems quite a good idea. A lot less claustrophobic than a small inside cabin, and with more privacy than simply a curtain

Good wedding venue!

Thank you for sharing Sir❤

Sunflowerrrrrrrrr! Sunflowerrrrrrr! hehe! your videos are super calming for me till this song. But I love it haha

The song if I had to of heard it everyday would drive me bonkers and Hello from NSW Australia 🇦🇺

Sunflower videos are my favorites...hehehe.

The Sunflower comments are gold.

The food on this trip looked very appealing for both meals. But as you hinted zt dinner you're never too full for dessert to be eaten. A nice ferry ride. Bushyboy Oz.

Your accommodations were very good for the price. I always enjoy watching you eat at an “All You Can Eat”. I predicted the nap after. No different than here in the US. When I go to a Chinese all you can eat buffet, I stuff myself. 😂 thanks for taking us along, I love your videos. 🙏✌️

I was hoping you would make a comment about the hamburger because I know you sometimes like that.

Next year I plan to take the route from Kagoshima to Osaka, of course with Sunflower, Call me crazy, but I want to hear this song live.

Crying @ "Boading" and the way you picked up that potato smiley by the eyes haha

What a serene voyage. The main staircase is amazing. The cabin you chose was just right. One weird thing to me is the very small towel the ferries give you. For drying off I like a couple of body towels and honestly still am too shy to take a public bath 🇺🇲

Could you pay extra to NOT have that "Sunflower" tune piped anywhere near your room?

I've watched enough videos that I pretty much know the Sunflower song by heart. Which is concerning.

It would be a very classy touch to have the Sunflower theme song played by a live orchestra in the ship's lobby, over and over and over...

As soon as I saw this video in my feed, the song started up in my head...Sunflower...Sunflower... It's interesting that you would mention they might be cutting costs by not serving beef steak. I live in Nebraska, a state in the US where we're surrounded by beef and the ocean is a long way off, so fish is much more expensive here.

Got me singing the song over here in Texas.

I randomly get the sunflower song stuck in my head these days 😂

The song is stuck in my head again, just like when it played during the Karaoke ship video, Well, there are worst songs to have stuck in my head. The only word I remember for sure is "Sunflower" because I don't know Japanese, but I have the rhythm of the rest of the chorus in my head as well, as well the sounds of the words. :) Your videos are always very well done and a pleasure to watch. Thank-you for them.
