I'd really like to see a video on your partner's job as a blacksmith in rural Japan. The clips of both of you interacting with your community are always so short, and it would be great to see something a bit longer. Pancake is growing up so fast!

I'll get a video about Jesse's work soon! As for the community videos, I want to respect my neighbor's privacy when creating my videos, which is why they may not be featured as much. I appreciate your understanding.🥹

As always, thank you for sharing. The location you live in is so serene. Pancake is a very lucky pup.

You know the small packets of silica that are sometimes put in food packages or in new bottles of pills? Collect them. Once you’ve buffed off the mould off your leather handbag, put your handbag in a ziplock bag with a few packets of silica inside.

My childhood growing up reading mangas in Vietnam, daydreaming about a hot summer day in Japan, 0:01 is the exact type of cloud I imagined it every time, with the cicada singing in the background

Apparently, helping with the bedding is a universal doggo recreation. My Buzz can hear me with the sheets from across the house, and has to be part of it. 😀

What good little helpers we have. What would we do without them 😂 💕

I like how Pancake helps with the chores 😂.

I love how it's filmed. Every frame have something interesting to see

The critter section of these videos is like exposure therapy to me. In Puerto Rico we also have huntsman spiders and they are terrifying to me!!! So its always curious how you guys and other Japanese youtubers just let them be. Wishing you guys a happy autumn and winter months

I really appreciate the good vibes (cicada sounds,scenery )and the culture of japan and of course the cute pancake hope upload often

Ah as we go into winter, a vid about escaping the summer heat is just what I needed. A reminder that warmer weather is just around the corner. Haha Amazing video, and its always nice to see the creepy crawlies, monkeys, and other fauna/flora of the area. (Not many people show it) Hope the fall has been good and if there isn't another video before then happy holidays!!!

I really dislike the summer heat so it works the other way too 😂

This looks like such a fun place to live. I love camping and don't mind creepy crawlies as long as they don't bite. Of course if I lived somewhere like this, I wouldn't go camping anymore lol

Pancake is so cute.

Thank you for the video showing a glimpse into your lives. Pancake is quite the little character.

omg pan hopping across the futon is pure joy.

Pancake is the cutest! 😭

Jesse's face as he looks at the pepper is so priceless. "Am I really about to eat this thing?"

I love watching these videos, and I also love Japan. I have been several times and as much as I envy your life, I absolutely could not deal with those spiders!!

I loved how Pancake was always so helpful. The amount of heat was one of the biggest issues that I had to overcome when I was in Japan during the summer. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for sharing your life with us! Looking forward to seeing more from you. Greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪

Always a pleasure to watch your vids.

Thank you for some much needed summer vibes on this very rainy and dark day here in Oregon. ☀️🐕

Lovely video; I always enjoy watching your updates. Thank you for sharing!

This videos are almost Ghibli-like haha, you use a lot of "間" in the transitions! That's pretty cool, keep up with it!!!

I just love watching your experiences. Always makes me smile :) (and I want your dog...🐕💙)

Pancake is so sweet ❤. Your dish at the end looks so yummy 😋!!!

So good to see your post. I was hoping to hear from you two soon.Glad you have everything under control.. HUgs and God Bless. Happy Holidays.

That river water looks amazing!

Love Pancake’s tail. Understand the challenges of trying to stay cool. I live in Texas, this summer we had over 3 months of 100 degrees plus and no rain. Thank goodness for central air condition.

Thanks for the video! It is fun to follow your journey in Japan!

I love the big river flowing in front of your house.

Pancakes is such a good boy.

Another bucolic video from maigomika - my day is complete!

いよっ、待ってました！🎉　12月に入って、外の景色はどう変わりましたか？また、冬の生活も見せてくれるとうれしいです。

I’d be in that river all day long in that hot weather ❤it’s beautiful 🦘❤️🐨🏊‍♀️

pan THE man -- went swimmin' !

I love seeing Pancake swim ❤️ I love you narrating style too ☺️

Pancake is my Spirit Animal! As always, the music is On Point! Yes, show us some Blacksmithing in the future! HAPPY HOLIDAYS to All! (but NOT the cockroaches, ewww)

Straight ghost chilies?! That’s scarier than the huntsman spiders! Glad you all and Pancake found relief in the summer.

I love this life . The place is great and life is simple. Watching from the Philippines.

love the video! Enjoy your time making them and don't feel pressured

I love watching your idyllic iifestyle in the countryside. Like to see some of the sights, home-grown foods and culinary pracrices..

What fun! I so enjoy your postings. I thought this very morning, "Will today be the one?!" Say Jesse, it just occurred to me that you are a lefty, a lefty smith. Does that pose any inconveniences? All the best to Mika and Pancake too.

Wow, hadn’t heard of Nagashi Somen. Crazy cool

So fun to watch pan pan grow!

It's so nice to see bright and sunny days while I'm snowed in at home. Reminds me there are other times where I'll enjoy going outside more. As for the coming winter, if there are some kind of festivities in your little village, I'd love to hear about them :) Have a happy holiday season!

The country side is so beautiful!

jeez the size of those spiders !! Great vids go nicely along with my fave Hige & Me for a great insight into Japanese living.

Hi guys!! Great video (minus those creepy spiders 😮 lol)!! Pancake is so super adorable 🥰

Pancake swimming in the beginning of the video is the cutest thingggg😭❤️

Pancake is the best! Just commenting to increase engagement. 😊

Beautiful shots of your Huntsman housemates

I would love to live in the country side of japan like you ❤😊

The best way to start a weekend is by sitting down with a hot cup of coffee and watching your videos about japan countryside!!! Tysm for your hardwork and sharing videos

Now if you can just get Pancake to chase those hunter spiders...

I really enjoyed this. Wishing you the best for the upcoming seasons.

bamboo has so many interesting things it can turn itself into

I really love your videos. It’s so interesting to see life in the Japanese Countryside, haven’t seen anything like this on KZread! Pancake definitely steals the show- loved seeing him swim 😍

Still my fav drops - can't wait for more

I don't know what exactly tickles my brain so much about u guys videos, but every single one is such a delight :)

Love these slice of regular life videos. So fascinating. Also Pancake is SO ADORABLE

Love love love your videos showing a slice a life in Japan ❤

Your pup has grown so much already 🥺

あなたの人生は面白そうですそれは日本の素敵な田舎での気楽な生活ですあなたの家は自然と調和し暮らしやすく幸せに満ちているように見えます

I just discovered your channel a couple days ago and have already watched about half of your videos. My wife and I also live very deep in the mountains of rural central Japan (Gunma) so we have a lot in common. I admire your tenacity and curiosity. Although not ethnically Japanese, my wife and I have lived in Japan our entire lives so it doesn't require an adventurous spirit to stay. Nevertheless, life in the mountains is awesome and sometimes a bit challenging. I too am fascinated by your husband's work. I have become friends with a couple of blacksmiths and one is currently making a hunting knife for me. My winters are spent hunting deer so knives are an indispensable tool for me!

Come on 100k subs! Hope you hit it soon

perfect video, thanks!

Love your channel. Excellent videos.

I really enjoy your vlog. Pancake is such a character!

I love your videos. I love Japan and I especially love Pancake ❤

Last summer’s heat was ridiculous and now it’s super cold, I’m not sure which is worse.

September 2023 in Tokyo and Ishigaki Island was the hottest one I've personally experienced in a while. I was astonished and impressed to see how easily Japanese commuters in full suits and work-wear coped; none of them were sweating!! Meanwhile, I was wilting, trying to fight the 'bad temper' reaction to the heat and humidity combined with so much walking and just a greasy, sweaty mess. Without my combination of Milk Hydrogrip and Lauder's Doublewear, my entire face would have melted off. It's nice to have examples to aspire to and admire, chastened into taking better care and having a better attitude so I thank all the Japanese champions for just cracking on with it! 😰😊🎎👍

I always wait to see more! Pancake is adorable! I want one! Thank You. Marty in New Jersey.

Awwww... Aku sangat menantikan vlog anda🎉❤, akhirnya...😊, salam untuk pancake semoga keluarga anda sehat selalu
