Guys, it was so surprising to know that you used to live in Brazil! I don't know why, I always feel kind of strange when people choose here to raise kids, so it was interesting to know. Hope you guys do well in Japan!

Takashii I found your videos one day and I have enjoyed watching your interviews. I then found life in Japan and I have so enjoyed their videos as well. I only wanted to learn Spanish for so long but now I want to learn Japanese as well. Also I really enjoyed watching the original sasuke ( ninja warrior ) and I thought it would be fun to be able to understand it.

Because this family works at a church, I think it would be cool to interview both Japanese natives and foreigners about religion and spirituality or traditions in Japan. You did one video on Muslims in Japan, but it would be fun to learn about other practices there too.

Glad to see them enjoying their life in Japan. My parents and I moved to Tokyo when I was 3 years old. I enjoyed the 12 years I spent growing up in Tokyo.

Hearing the girls speak japanese feels so amazing in a way and I don't know why. I lived in Japan and speak fluently, but to hear them sounding native like they do amazes me. I have friends who stayed in Japan for many many years without learning much. I hope they can hold on to these languages as they grow up.

I'm way more amazed that they're still comfortable in English. I'm Chinese-American myself, as is my husband, and I grew up in an area with a high (50%) immigrant population. Most of my fellow 1.5 generation kids become way more fluent in English than in their first language within a couple of years of their arrival.

Nice topic! I’m from Canada but my two daughters were born here and now they’re 11 and 14 years old. And our experience has been very positive, like the family that was interviewed here. During the pandemic, as well, the government has been regularly sending out support payments to families with children, to help them get through the challenging economic times. No complaints. 😆 The main challenge I can think of is when my daughters started to become embarrassed about being different from their classmates, and tried to act (and speak) Japanese all the time in public. But it was only a phase, now they seem to have embraced their bicultural identity.

They will be even more thankful they had this opportunity once they are mature adults, not everyone gets to live that life.

I don't live or really have plans to move to Japan in the future but I'm moving to another country. It's so interesting seeing the perspectives of uncommon ethnicities experiences in another country. This one is especially interesting since they have the unique experience of moving around with kids. Much love from US

I was raised overseas, lived in the Middle East (Jeddah, 🇸🇦), but I traveled throughout parts of Asia, Europe, and Africa before coming to the U.S. back in 95. I remember so much, and it gave me perspective that a lot of people found “weird” or “confusing.” It’s like, the sky above your head isn’t all there is out there. It’s why now in my 30s I’m picking my languages back up (Japanese included) and really would like to spread my wings again and see the world through my grown up eyes. If people ever get the chance, please do yourself justice and experience a different country. Prepare, do your research, and it’ll be a time you’ll never forget. I’m happy for this family and these kids. I hope the kids cherish this gift from their parents. I love these interviews!

Ok but the sounds of the kids playing in the background and the scenery seems so nostalgic and nice, great video as well!

@knuthamsun6106

Жыл бұрын

it’s nostalgic because it reminds us of a time when it was safe for kids to play at a park without their parents hovering around. even watching our children at the park we have to worry about creepy homeless junkies and being in the background of a gangland shooting. the number of foreigners in japan is tiny. it is NOT a multicultural society, so it enjoys the cohesion and civility that comes from a sense of collective family identity. also their genetic profile is excellent and codes for foresight, discipline and self-control

They look like such a nice chill family! And they definitely make the best out of their experiences

I'm proud of you, Takashii. If anyone wants to live in another country, especially Japan, then they should go for it. Something tells me I'll have a home in Japan someday.

I love watching Life in Japan. They're a fun family to follow. The parents have so much energy it's amazing! And I enjoy watching the kids transitioning back and forth between the American culture inside their home and the Japanese culture when they step outside of their home. I love seeing them doing their Japanese school homework then I see them doing English practice homework! My own kid would fight me if she had to do extra work on top of her school work! 😂

Ha ha! We do often have to make them to do their extra English and Japanese practice. That's probably normal for all kids, I would think.

Really interesting topic. When I saw the title, I realized I've never seen an interview of a foreigner family in Japan. Very unique Takashii!

Great video, full of interesting information! This couple seems to be doing the right thing with educating their children.

I think it won’t matter where you are in the world as long as you’re with the loved ones. But living in Japan is a nice experience. I love how comfortable is the life here especially the life of a university student!🍅

Congratulations Takashii, you always come up with a varied selection of interview topics. I don't always get to watch them, but I'm still a supporter of your channel and what you are doing. Long may you run.

Their family is so wholesome.

I really like this positive family that I started watching about a year ago, and it was through their last video that led me to you. So I have started to go through yours now (and subscribed) and I am finding yours interesting too.

I love these videos, it reminds me a lot of stories my father tells me of his years in Japan in the 90s and his mother's trip in the 60s. it makes me want to go even more, I want to continue this generational thing my father's side has going. Thank u for these videos

It was super episode. So bright and happy family, everybody's dream to have one like theirs.

Great video Takashi!! I follow and watch their videos for a long time now and they are without a doubt a wholesome family. It was a good interview and I hope you'll keep bringing people like that in your channel.

I watch their channel and yours and it was great to see you interview them, since we are planning to move to Japan it was very informative and I appreciate it!!! Thank you

That was nice interview, I have been following these family for years and always feels a good positive messages.

Very heartwarming video Takashii. Thank you so much! 🙏

I LOVE that you collaborated with them....Life In Japan has the most wholesome videos, and seeing their family always makes me happy if I've had a rough day. Thanks for interviewing them, Takashii!

I like how he stooped to their level and got comfortable just to bring a trustworthy and relaxing environment.

Brazilian culture and Japanese culture seem like polar opposites - knowing both of them a bit and having friends from Brazil. E.g., time, outgoing, interaction with strangers, rigidity, etc....

Thank you so much for the different viewpoints you search for and and find a perspective for, your form of journalism is awesome and needed. Me and my wife are thinking about maybe moving to Japan in the future and we currently live in Texas. I’m learning Japanese and you are so helpful into all the insights and questions I have. You’re the best!

I want to travel to many places and potentially live for a year or two at some of them. Japan is on the list of those places. The topics that you ask people cover a lot of useful information to know for potential travelers. Your videos not only include things I was curious about, but also things I had not thought about that also interested me. Keep up the great work! I think you're doing a great service for people interested in your country.

You really have a video on everything about Japan. You’re the man!

This is content is great!! Keep it up!!

Very informative video! Really enjoyed hearing this family's perspective. Greetings from Mexico!

Great interview. I love this channel. Nice work!

Can’t wait to watch! seems interesting ❤️

What an amazing family....Great interview! Good job.

Awesome vid! The family seems so sweet and lovelyyyy. And you're so good at making them feel at ease as usual. Congrats on your sub count! It's grown a lot!!

Great interview with this lovely family.

Awesome video. Also, I loved how the dad empasized the importance of having good family relationships at the end. 素晴らしい！✌️💪

This was great! I could almost tell right off the bat that they were probably missionaries bc my husband and I were too, our son was born overseas also. Could relate to some of their experiences!

I actually love their videos

Oh this video was really cool. They look like they're having a great time as a family in japan. Thank you so much for sharing this video

What a sweet and interesting family. Made me smile ear to ear by the positive vibes within the video. They really like their stay, the mom was especially very fond of the hospitality and safety of Japan. There some moments you at aw, like when they said they got helped by an English teacher. At this moment its fine to say it's "good" to reaffirm them and accommodate Japan for their good job. You like to be neutral but sometimes dont you mind you loosen up with the right people. Good interviewer and good questions as always. Would be nice to know your thoughts as well, you asking many questions but i bet some would to know Takishii's answers. Great video! Very interesting and adventurous family.

Your videos are very informative. Keep these coming!!

Wow great interview! Real commitment to be immersed with the people.

Another wonderful episode from brother takeshi👍

Sees four children. "I work at a church". Ah so that explains it.

WOW just wow this one was one of the coolest interview segments to date I took an info class on the JET program a couple days ago and for the first time in my life something has motivated me enough to go into college and get my education to be accepted for the program At this point I think I would quite literally come to Japan to be interviewed by you Takashii KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK/CONTENT

The quality of your videos are getting godlike

Very interesting topic! I liked the interview.

Thank you for this interview! We are hoping to move to Japan in two years with small children and want to put them in public school too! This was helpful. Thank you Takashi!

I was surprised at how interesting I found this video. What a clever topic!

Thank you so much for this!

Takashi San arigatoo I love life in japan family they are amazing 😍 thanks for interviewing them. It's was a really helpful video.

Bro your content is so addictive! Pls keep going!

Inexpensive health care and schools, delightful (and healthy) school lunches, and the county courthouse answers all questions you have, and the interpreter is free! Great! And the husband is golden. A little piece of heaven!

This is so precious! Becca speaks japanese so well!

Great video. When I was about six years old, my dad lived and worked in San Diego for his company for a couple months. Seeing this video makes me imagine what it'd have been like if he had a very long term assignment in Japan instead. So very long, I grew up there.

What a beautiful interview! I loved it! And it was good that they were very open about all the tiny details about the public school and the admission process. And yes! It's very true what he said at the end, no matter what you do for work if your environment at home is positive 👍 Thanks Takashi!

That was a really nice video. They're so cool

That was an incredible video, interviewing this family. My wife and I live in Oaxaca, Mexico, but we are from the US. This is my first time commenting.

Wow. This parents moved the world to have the best of all for their kids. Awesome Family!

This family seems so sweet.

The dad is just beaming with positivity.

Such a cool topic. I'm thinking of maybe going aboard for my last 2 years of college in Japan. I'm still deciding though. Can't wait to visit Japan.

Excellent video As always Takashi , Just one suggestion if u might consider it , At the end of each video could you teach us how to have conversation by explaining the Sentence in Japan (With proper pronunciation) & its English translation.

Hey Takashi great job as usual! This gives a great perspective. Personally I wouldn’t rule out raising my kids in either London or Kyoto.

This family is the epitome of wholesome christian

Great family, thanks for the video
