Bang, and then you give it to the

Socks are wet

Looks like they have destroyed the whole front and the quarter panel

This is Shibuya crossing Tokyo, you might have seen this part from Fast and the Furious

We are doing a few shoots here and see how they come out. So that we can use if for our autumn/winter wear

When your tired on a train in Tokyo and you just want to have a little nap

It's just the way you've got to do it.

Look at that neck action

Ok, this is not a sponsored ad. We are doing the RedBull Challange. We have to remove a formula one wheel

and put it back on. Go on show them. Show them the guns.

Whats better than one vending machine? 5 vending machines

So the way you get this food is, the person is just there but, you don't pay him directly. You pay a vending machine

Bang and then you just give it to the chef and he makes your order

that's Japan for you

and there is my order. Ordered from a vending machine and made by the chef

which one do you want?

I want this one

let's go

what's wrong with you?

It's stuck

turn it to an angle

Hold this

lets see how this tastes

it tastes like Calpol

what does it taste like?

what does it taste like?

go on

does it taste like Calpol

don't do that shit without telling me

we are currently on our way to pick up the car

as you can see, it is raining and it's raining pretty bad

country roads, there is actually anywhere to walk

it's not really designed for pedestrians

but yeah, with my guy, see you soon

you can see the car, did you notice there is a little Picacho sleeping.

my socks are wet

probably weren't a great choice of shoes to wear

we've gone down some side road, it really doesn't look like the car should be here

but apparently, we are going the right way

so,

yeah, just rain, non-stop. I checked the forecast for the next few days and it's a 100% rain for the next two days

and also, North Korea are sending missiles over, a bit of intimidation going on

so, it really isn't the best time to visit Japan

but, we like living on the edge. Me and Ocan. So, it is what it is.

it also helps that your lens is clean when your filming

So this is a pretty good test for our Autumn/Winter Wear

I'm wearing one of our waterproof Jackets

so yeah, I think it suits Japan pretty well

That is the GTR that I was going to hire out

prior to the grey one

but, someone has a bit too much fun

ended up crashing it

so it looks like they have destroyed the whole front and the quarter panel

Thi is if you crash?

insurance company telephone number

ok,

ok, we are in the GTR

I'm going to go for a little test drive around

the actual place

just to see how it goes

that's what NOT to do when your in Japan,

we really got to get out of here

take the phone quickly

we've managed to pick up the car. This is one of my bucket lists cars

i've always wanted to drive since I was a little kid

I think the fast and the furious film kind of instilled the ideas of driving this car

I always used to watch a lot of Initial D when I was young

the R34 was a bit of an icon and I always wanted to drive this car because it has a big pedigree.

and what a place to drive it, we're in the sort of countrysides of Tokyo. A little more on the outskirts

it's a good time to be alive

there's these metal bars

that lift up

so that you can't drive the car out till you pay

don't really understand

Japanese instructions going on

this part up

which doesn't seem to work

oh look it's working

I think we are set

so that works, so when you come back, you just put the money in however much you owe

pretty good drink, I must say

5 Japanese Manga Series that I LOVE | JaDan - Dan in Japan - Duration: 7:44.

Konnichiwa Everyone! It's Dan from JaDan.co.uk and today I'm gonna talk about my

favourite manga comic series.

It's finally happened guys.

I finally listened to your suggestions and I'm gonna talk about some more nerdy

stuff on the channel so with that in mind the first step today is to give a

bit of a rundown of my favourite manga series when I was back in England. Manga

is Japanese comic books and they're super popular here but they're also

pretty popular in the West with some of the series being like household names... you've

probably heard of things like Dragon Ball, one piece and Naruto anyway I'm

gonna give a quick rundown today of like the five manga series that I really

liked and we'll take it from there.

number five on my list of manga series that I really enjoy is called Bakuman

Bakuman is kind of a slice-of-life story it's not really action and it

follows the story of two kids who are following their dreams become mangaka

which is manga artist and it's like a love story to with the heroine trying to

become a voice Idol and if they ever make the dreams they're gonna get

married or something it's not really my style of stuff that I like but for

some reason I got really invested in this story I think in England there was

20 books and I would find them the day they came out I'd go to like Sheffield

Space Center and I'd make sure that I bought the latest edition so yeah I

really enjoyed those books quite a lot of comic relief in those books as well

especially if you into like manga a lot of like 4th wall breaks and like inside

jokes and stuff which is kind of cool so yeah I really enjoyed Bakuman.

number four on my list of manga that I like is a more modern book it's called

one punch man and it's very popular in Japan it's also very popular back home

and it's kind of a kind of a sarcastic look at the action series or manga so

like in Dragon Ball and Naruto you've got like a bad guy and you power up and

you train and you beat him then a bigger guy comes along and repeat repeat repeat

this is kind of different this follows the story of the hero called Saitama who

is the most powerful dude in the world and he can kill everyone or anything

with one punch one punch and he just knocked people out and then a bigger guy

comes along and he just knocks him out an all so it's a bit weird but it's kind

of funny it kind of turns the whole thing on its head lots of comedy in this

series and yeah I really really enjoyed I read the first... can't remember, but maybe six

or seven in England before I left and keep buying them in Japan even though I

can't really read the Japanese and the anime is actually pretty good too so

yeah one punch man

number three on my list of manga that I liked I have not really put that much

thought into is kind of an older one called Hajime no Ippo. Hajime no Ippo

translates basically like the first step or something like that and

it's a boxing manga it follows the story of a guy in high school who gets bullied

called Ippo and eventually he decides I'm sick of this... I'm going to the boxing gym and

I'm gonna learn how to do some boxing and he does and it follows the story of

his progression like from a little nooblet and he's learning to jab jab jab

jab jab and then he moves all the way up and

he's like in professional boxing matches and stuff I really like these books

they're really really cool I don't usually go for like the sporting manga sorta

stuff but I really like this and I'd highly recommend it to anyone that's

looking for something to get going. If you into boxing especially you're gonna

really like this so yeah check out Hajime no Ippo.

Number two on the list a manga series I really like here's

a series called hagane no renkinjutsu in English this is Full Metal

Alchemist and this series is wonderful I think is 26 or 27 books and I really

really liked this the characters are great my favorite character is probably Roy

Mustang with his like little clicking and shit and it follows the story of a

world where alchemy is possible and it's widely used by the state military

and there's a big underlying story arc that comes together and it basically

follows the story of Ed and Alphonse who are trying to get their bodies back

after they commit the ultimate taboo anyway really really good story lots of

emotion but a lot of humor - and I think this is the second series I ever read

and this is the one that kind of pushed me over the edge to I actually kind of

like this stuff so yeah really really good highly recommend it the art styles

really nice - check it out

it's a number one on the list and it's probably not going to be a surprise to

anyone it's one is commonly known as the gateway drug of manga and this is a

little series called Death Note insanely popular and I never really

encountered manga before I read death note. I didn't even know what it was and then

one day my brother and gave me like the first three issues he was like "just read this, see

what you think" and I never really bothered I thought I'd give it a read and it

follows the story of a guy who finds a book and he writes people's name in the

book and then they die and whatever he writes in book happens and then I was like

this is kind of cool and then it turns into like this awesome

cat-and-mouse game between like the main protagonist

Light Yagami and the main kind of hero character L and they think cat and

mouse in the open like they're trying to stay hidden but they're in the open and

it's just like a thriller kind of a mystery series and I really really

enjoyed it and after I read those first three books my brother gave me I went

out and just bought the rest. I was like YO! I need to keep reading this and it

really is the gateway drug of manga and like after that I was like wow that was

really good even though this thing existed and now I'm really into it so

then I went out and bought Hagane no Renkinjutsu... Full Metal

Alchemist so yeah like it really was the one to

open my eyes to the world of manga I'm never really bothered before that so

because of that that's number one on the list. Cool so that was my little list of

five manga series that I really really enjoyed

I'm sure a lot of you guys out there will have read these books or at least be

aware of them so I'd love to know in the comment section below what your favorite

manga is and whilsy you are down there... do me a favor bang a thumbs up on the video if you thought it

was cool and if you haven't already please hit that subscribe button I'd

really appreciate it anyway got a run so as always until next time

Ja Mata!

Megarafting animals rode from Japan to US and Canada after the 2011 tsunami - Duration: 2:40.

Animals are known to travel the world

on makeshift rafts -- synthetic or natural.

This is not a frequent thing--

most coasts have pretty different animals and plants

from one to the next.

But the 2011 Japanese tsunami

caused a megarafting event and scientists were able to

track objects that travelled as far as 7,000km

As the water left Japan's eastern shore

it brought with it a panoply of debris--

millions of objects ranging in size

from tiny plastic fragments to whole fishing boats.

Under the water, the debris field

became home to diverse marine life.

As ocean currents swept these objects away,

they took their inhabitants with them.

Many making their way all the way to the Eastern Pacific.

With all these animals and detritus on the move,

the Japanese tsunami provided a unique

opportunity to track and evaluate

the fate of a biologically-rich debris field.

Debris with living Japanese marine species

began landing on the shores of the Eastern Pacific

in 2012, as far north as southwest Alaska

and as far east as central California.

Researchers have documented animals

on 635 debris objects, including docks, buoys,

pieces of wood, and even fishing vessels.

They found at least 279 living Japanese invertebrate

and fish species, none of which have been

reported to have rafted between continents before.

Many debris objects were categorized as

'high richness arrivals' meaning that they carried

more than 20 species.

This richness may be attributed to the large amount of

non-biodegradable material available for rafting.

Organic rafting materials such as trees and

root masses have far shorter lives at sea,

when compared to synthetic materials

such as fiberglass or polystyrene.

Longer at-sea times means

barnacles, limpets, and mussels

can establish colonies that can span

multiple generations.

Now we know from this study of the mega rafting

engendered by the Japanese tsunami,

just how far they will go

As the world's population grows,

the amount of waste entering the ocean will rise.

And that means in the future,

our coasts could become a lot less diverse

as more animals hitch a ride.

動物園デート！ DATE IN JAPAN - Duration: 7:48.

I've been locked in my room doing website work

trying to just complete it

but it isn't quite done

but I try to proprorpro (Japanese got messed here)

when it's morning

my mouth feels slow

I can't speak well or fast haha

it's the same in English

a-a-are you filming?

just got a little shy...

yeah pretty much everyday we meet at 9 to discuss the tasks for the day etc.

yes Jeff

this is where I've been taking Japanese lessons for the past 6 months

it's called the trade centre

and inside there's a big room that's like a lesson factory filled with foreigners and older Japanese people

right now we're checking out properties for newtalk and it's TOUGH

just a headache

there's lots to consider like interior,

exterior, accessability

the cost, the size etc.

it's tough

tomorrow I'm thinking of heading to the zoo with my gf! it's been awhile since I've been

just finished a big cleanup around the room and feeling good

still a bunch of stuff around though

but that's probably just because there's too much stuff here

so today we're headed to the zoo!

I exercise right beside a zoo all the time

so we're going to check it out

my fav animal

is an orangutang!

(the Japanese pronunciation is too tough)

it's really humanistic and smart

and cute of course

like a combo of just jacked and cute

it's super cheap here ($6 entrance fee)

and there're tigers, pandas, etc.

pretty good variety

good bargain

so if you're around Kobe check it out

the difference between Japanese and Canadian zoos?

not much

there're the same (kind of)

well actually in Canada

they probably don't sell ramen

also everyone

when looking at the animals

is so polite and they form orderly lines

but in Canada people moreso just crowd around and don't move out of the way

then the types of animals are the same between Japan and Canada?

yeah I guess they're a bit different

In the Americas the majority of animals are from the Americas

but in Japan you've got more of an Asian variety

it's time to go home and then do some shopping

The Best Places in Toyama | japan-guide.com - Duration: 10:18.

Toyama prefecture lies along the Sea of Japan

a unique location with a large coastline as well as mountain ranges that make up a majority of its interior

here you can find traditional farmhouses tucked away in hidden mountain villages

a stunning route that cuts through the heart of the Japan Alps

one of the country's deepest gorges

and a multitude of other experiences worth going for.

On this trip we're going to attempt to explore Toyama prefecture's most captivating attractions in four days

Here's the plan

we start our journey by taking the shinkansen to Toyama prefecture

On the first day we'll visit Kurobe Gorge and stay in Unazuki Onsen at the entrance of the gorge

On day 2 we head over to the remote village of Ainokura and spend the night there in a traditional farmhouse

The third and fourth days will be spent traversing the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine route

with a night stay at its highest point before going home on day four.

My name is Raina Ong, staff writer for japan-guide.com

and today I'm on assignment uncovering the best places to go in Toyama.

Day 1

To get to Kurobe Gorge, we'll first take the Hokuriku shinkansen from Tokyo to Kurobe-Unazukionsen Station.

From there we're going to transfer to local trains to Unazuki Onsen town the entry point into the gorge

Then we'll take the Kurobe Railway as far as possible into the gorge to Keyakidaira Station

explore a bit

and then head back to spend the night in Unazuki Onsen Town.

We're at Unazuki Station and we're going to be taking that cute orange train over there into the Kurobe Gorge and back

The Kurobe Gorge is the deepest v-shaped gorge in Japan

and some say the view at the gorge is pretty gorgeous

So this rock wall over here is known as the "hito kui iwa"

which is, when translated, becomes "man eating cave."

I'm staying in a ryokan tonight in this beautiful Japanese room

and tonight's dinner will be a multi-course meal

and I'm looking forward to it

Day 2

After a relaxing night at Unazuki Onsen

today we'll take the train to Shin-Takaoka here a direct bus will take us to the remote village of Ainokura

where we will explore the quaint town and stay overnight in one of the farmhouses

It's day two and we're at an Ainokura one of the villages where you can see

traditional Japanese gassho zukuri farm houses like the ones you see around me

Gassho zukuri is a style of construction where the steep thatched roofs are said to resemble hands in prayer

The best way to depreciate Ainokura is to stay at one of the farm houses

and that's what I'll be doing tonight

Day three

Today we bid farewell to our farmhouse and travel back to Toyama station to begin our traverse of the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine route

It is a spectacular journey carved through the northern Japan Alps connecting Toyama and Nagano Prefecture

will be taking different modes of transport to complete the route starting with the train at Toyama station followed by a cable car

then bus

tunnel trolley bus

ropeway

another cable car

and lastly a tunnel trolley bus once more

However today, we'll only be going as far as the midpoint at Murodo and spend the night there

I took this train from

Toyama all the way to Tateyama station where I am now

and today we're going to the highest point on the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine route

We boarded the the bus in the cloud, but here Murodo we've broken through them

and behind me over there, that's mount Tateyama where it's the highest mountain in the region

Day four

Our last day is relatively easy

We complete the rest of the Alpine route

see Kurobe Dam along the way

and then head home

We're at Kurobe Dam, our last stop for this trip

and fun fact the dam is also Japan's tallest at 186 meters

Thus ends our whirlwind tour of Toyama

I hope this video has been enjoyable and perhaps even inspires you to experience Toyama for yourself

In major cities around the world

it is all too evident how much we have sacrificed our environment for economic growth

Japan is unfortunately no exception

the advancement and growth of our city centers have been an incredible feat for our country

but has also been a contributor to climate change

and come at the cost of some of our country's natural beauty.

The outskirts of our city centers where beauty and serenity still very much exist

are gradually diminishing as the effects of climate change begin to take a toll on these great cities.

But what if we had the power to begin affecting change?

What if we had the power to preserve the natural beauty in this country?

What if I told you that we do?

Follow me as I explore Daigo city in Ibaraki prefecture

and see how you have the power to make a difference in this amazing city.

In Daigo city life is simple

life is traditional

and most importantly, life is fulfilled by those who appreciate and embrace Daigo City for what it naturally is.

It is a city that does not ask for more

but is now asking for us to do more -

not just for them, but for anyone who loves Japan and all the beauty it has to offer.

If you live and work in Japan you could help Daigo city preserve the natural beauty of its countryside

by allocating your Japanese tax money to the area.

Your money will help the city protect its nature

from the effects of climate change and maintain a life of unfettered beauty and happiness

Meet The Black Comedian Who Has Become Japan's Most Unlikely Star (HBO) - Duration: 4:49.

Japan has a bad reputation when it comes to accepting foreigners, and it's well-earned.

Only 1.3% of the population is foreign-born,

and black people are especially rare.

But now, one Nigerian-American is becoming ubiquitous there,

because he's on Japanese TV every single day.

— Ike Nwala is a pretty recognizable face in Japan.

He's a member of a popular comedy troupe, and he even appears in commercials.

— Ike originally came to Japan working for Goldman Sachs,

but he quit to join up with a talent agency,

and his celebrity exploded practically overnight.

Part of his popularity is because of his ability to switch back and forth

between Japanese and English whenever he needs.

— Ladies and gentleman, boys and girls, welcome to Tokyo Disney Sea.

— So you're a comedian, but you do kind-of everything?

— In Japan, if you're a comedian, they just see you as an entertainer,

so they expect that you can do anything.

So I do narration jobs, I do voice jobs.

I do my main job, comedy.

Even music.

— Sorry about that, you've gotta take your shoes off.

— Yeah, no, it's all good.

You pretty much do your own hair, though?

— Yeah, I do my own hair. It's kinda...

they don't know how to do black hair.

— This is every day for you though, right? — Yeah, this is everyday.

— Dang, man. — Monday through Friday.

— Wear the funky clothing...

— Since last year, Ike's been one of the main hosts of a show called "Oha-Suta."

That means that, while a lot of adults recognize him as a sketch comic,

to their kids, he's like Steve on Blue's Clues.

— This isn't just any kids show.

— No, this is like the Japanese version of Sesame Street.

It's the most famous children's TV show in Japan.

— But just because Ike's famous doesn't mean he doesn't have to deal with prejudice.

Japan's one of the most ethnically homogeneous countries in the word,

and it doesn't have the best reputation for diversity.

— What's it like being a black dude living in Japan?

— I'm pretty sure you experienced the whole train thing,

where you sit down and then, like,

there's open seats next to you, but people don't sit down.

— That's happened, yeah.

— I don't think Japanese people are racist.

I think they just don't know.

Okay.

Let's do this.

— Ike sees himself as a comedian,

so you might think that being on "Oha-Suta" is just a distraction from his career goals.

But Ike says a kid's TV show is an important place for him to be.

— I think me being on the children's show every day is huge.

— Why's that?

— The children now, who are going to be growing up to be adults,

they already have the image of...

different people, you know?

— Little kids seeing you on TV and it's, "Oh, this is just a… he's another guy."

— Yeah, "He's a normal guy."

Whereas, you know, 15 years before,

things were just like, "Oh, a black guy!"

"We've seen a lot of white people, but, like… woah, black guy!"

You know?

"He's like a Pokémon or something!"

I dunno.

Japan's PM dissolves lower house and calls snap election - Duration: 1:43.

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has dissolved the lower house of parliament ahead of a snap

election set for October 22nd.

With his poll numbers rebounding, Abe wants strengthen his majority to give him a mandate

to push through his agenda.

Ji Myung-kil reports.

Despite having more than a year of his four-year term remaining, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo

Abe has decided to seek a new mandate to govern.

(Japanese) Reuter - 4102 "I hereby dissolve the lower house according

to article 7 of the Japanese Constitution."

Opinion polls in Japan show that most voters do not understand Abe's reasons for calling

an election now.

Political experts see his move as an attempt to take advantage of a weak opposition...

as Abe's ruling Liberal Democratic Party... or LDP... is leading in the polls.

Prime Minister Abe suffered a drop in popularity early this year... over allegations of cronyism.

But he enjoyed fresh support for his strong stance against North Korea after the regime

fired two ballistic missiles over Japan.

However, Abe now faces a new contender from the newly-minted conservative Party of Hope...

led by popular Tokyo governor Yuriko Koike.

Koike is taking her policies nationwide to form a strong opposition against Abe's Liberal

Democratic Party.

Abe has been in power since 2012, and could become the longest-serving prime minister

in Japanese history if he wins the general election and the party leadership vote next

year.

Award-winning Veep star Julia Louis-Dreyfus has breast cancer, she announced through social media on Thursday.

The 56-year-old American actress revealed the diagnosis to her 750,000 Twitter followers, posting a note that read: One in eight women get breast cancer. Today, Im the one..

The good news is that I have the most glorious group of supportive and caring friends, and fantastic insurance through my union, she continued.

The bad news is that not all women are so lucky, so lets fight all cancers and make universal health care a reality.

Louis-Dreyfus, who has two children with actor Brad Hall, attached an image of the note to a tweet in which she wrote: Just when you thought.

The news comes less than two weeks after the Veep star won a sixth consecutive Emmy for comedy acting.

A native New Yorker of French stock, Louis-Dreyfus has been one of Americas most popular and influential comedy actors since she found fame with cult sitcom Seinfeld in the 1990s.

On Veep she plays a somewhat bumbling vice president who later becomes the acting president, despite her hapless staff making political blunders along the way.

She has six consecutive best actress Emmys for Veep as well as three as an executive producer when it was awarded best comedy series.

She has won in the past for her roles on Seinfeld -- which also earned her a Golden Globe -- and The New Adventures of Old Christine.

It has been a rollercoaster year or so for the actress, who tearfully dedicated her acting Emmy in 2016 to her father, who passed away two days earlier.

I am so glad that he liked Veep, she said, her voice breaking down as she accepted the award. Because his opinion was the one that really mattered..

Veep recently announced that the seventh season of the HBO show, due to premiere in 2018, will be its last.

GIAPPONE: QUANDO ACQUISTARE I BIGLIETTI AEREI /JAPAN: EVERYTHING ABOUT FLIGHT TICKETS | Travel Duo - Duration: 6:40.

Hello everyone and welcome to this new video!

Today we want to share with you some tricks to buy flight tickets at a reasonable price

without sacrificing the travel of your dreams.

Let's start from a simple assumption:

the cost of an airline ticket is subject to several changes during the year.

Initially, airlines issue tickets, divided into classes, for a particular flight.

After a first sale phase

in which the company sells a number of tickets to cover the actual cost of the flight,

prices fall.

This is the best time to buy.

After this second phase, you enter the period immediately preceding the departure of the flight.

The company has no longer a real interest in selling, so it raises the price according to the logic

"if you want to leave that's the price, take it or leave it".

There are several statistical studies that can help you understand

which is the best time to buy the ticket for the trip of your dreams.

In the case of Japan, this magical period is about 5 months from the alleged departure.

We bought the tickets at the end of October and left at the end of March.

Obviously the costs also vary according to the high and low season of a destination

(which does not always correspond to our high season, which is usually in August).

So you'd better consider this aspect.

Today the average price of an economy class flight to Japan (A/R), is around 600/700€.

By buying ahead and keeping track of price trends, we bought tickets for a direct flight from Milan to Tokyo Narita (A/R) for 503€ with Alitalia.

For initial searches, once you've chosen your destination,

we recommend using sites like Momondo and Skyscanner

to get started with an idea of the costs and airlines that fly to your destination.

Once you find the best company, go to the official website and buy tickets straight from there.

Skyscanner, Momondo and sites alike are, in fact, reseller collectors,

and often the price shown is subject to extra charges and extra commissions before the final payment,

so you won't save a cent or even spend more.

Finally, we recommend you to subscribe a travel insurance.

Do not stop at the airline's proposal,

but do a little research on the web to find the most advantageous offer both from a hedging point of view

and from an economic point of view.

For example, we bought tickets from Alitalia's website

and signed an all-inclusive insurance (baggage, late/cancelled flight, cancelled trip, health insurance) through the Columbus agency.

That's everything for today,

we will see on the next video where we'll talk about the Japanese transportation system

and about payment and subscription formulas to make your trip even simpler!

see you soon!
