Auto news on Youtube Dec 2 2018

Previously, Aiu Ratna was known as someone who

looked really gloomy

Someone who seems tomboyish in nature, sometimes gothic.

Many people said that

I don't talk that much, snobbish, and many more.

I don't laugh too often.

But, as time passes by...

until finally I went to Japan.

Being able to...

experience a lot of exciting things there.

Then, I went back to Indonesia to explore new things.

And finally meeting someone who made me happy.

Now I might look different than before.

Now I'm more...

mature, maybe...

more feminime, unlike before...

and maybe, there will be differences in my musicality.

Right now, I really want to

avoid playing sad songs.

Because, in my experience of playing sad songs...

it seems like there are always sadness which follows.

Things that are unsettling are happening.

So...

in the future...

because I'm happier now.

Now I wanted to play more positive and happier songs. So those who listened aren't always sad and hopeless.

Currently, I can only think about playing songs with positive vibe

with positive lyrics.

Probably with lyrics which is more uplifting.

Because I believe that...

everyone have had their own struggle

love struggle, life struggle, and much more.

But still, we always wanted the happy ending.

Because, who doesn't want to be happy?

The next single probably will...

be a song which I made for the first time...

containing words that are mostly about...

love. A happy love. Not the usual sad kind of love.

As of right now...

I want to always sing happier songs.

With beats, notes, and rhythm that are...

fun to be sung together.

I had lived 4 years in Japan...

I had learned the language, made a lot of friends...

and thankfully, there's Aiushiteru.

Which until now, I still notice sometimes...

they still gave me a 'like' on my photos, videos, or any project that I currently worked on.

In a way, I wanted to repay them somehow.

That's why, on the next project I wanted...

All of my songs to include...

3 languages.

There's Japanese, Indonesian, and English.

Ideally, one song will include 3 languages just like my previous song "Musnah".

Maybe if that's too difficult...

because writing a song with 3 languages is not easy.

Maybe there will be versions.

Different versions. There's Japanese, Indonesian, and English version.

I used to like 'dark' songs.

The early sounds of Sheena Ringo.

There's Korn...

Evanescence...

several emo bands...

I also liked Mr.Big, and even older bands.

That was past me.

As for now...

because I wanted to make positive songs...

happier songs...

it seems like I have to change my mindset.

Starting from the colors

even though I really love black.

but, there should be something which will make the black colorful.

Probably from the treatment of the music video...

or probably from the song itself.

My biggest inspiration is probably still...

pretty much Sheena Ringo.

Because, she seems like she was...

having a gradual change and almost like what I experienced.

Her earlier songs are darker....

then, after Tokyo Jihen she became brighter...

and now even brighter and colorful.

So...

well...

I still like...

basically I like Japanese music, and a lot of the musician there.

In Indonesia, there's one musician I really love following at this time...

which got me inspired by her life...

is a singer with a very different genre than I am...

jazz singer, Andien.

She seems so bright...

seems like her life is so happy.

I wanted...

to be colorful like that, but in a different kind of music and genre as hers.

In this project, compared to previously...

where I had a full team of producer, manager, and else...

there's a lot.

Sound manager, sound producer, and many more.

Compared to now...

I'm going solo...

helped by my husband.

I'm doing this project on my own.

Everything is handled by ourselves and with friends that I chose.

Because if...

previously, in major label or indie label which are not our own

there are always things that are...

not what we wanted, but they stated otherwise.

Sometimes I didn't want a song to be written this way

but, they said it's better like this.

It feels like there's a coercion to it.

but still, for a musician, it's not okay.

What I'm aiming for is actually really high...

but I realized...

because I've just restarted my career...

so...

I can't be too pompous about it

just like when I was in Garasi...

the scale was very big.

Compared to now, to reach that kind of scale is probably difficult

since this is an early stage.

Garasi was also known outside of Indonesia.

The movie was played in Malaysia...

in Japan, India...

in Madrid, Spain, and more...

also Germany.

I wanted to replicate that.

but I realized...

it's difficult if I don't have the link to do that.

hopefully, there will be a way which can get my music to be heard...

outside of Indonesia, especially in Japan.

Because...

Japan is a place which I treated as my second home.

Because I used to lived there...

a lot of my friends are there

lots of Aiushiteru is also there

So, yeah, hopefully...

those wishes came true.

Yokohama Street Food Tour | Japan's Largest Chinatown! - Duration: 15:50.

Alright good afternoon guys.

It is time for another street food video.

Today we're going to be taking you guys to Yokohama (横浜).

It is 30 minutes south from Shibuya station (渋谷駅).

So yeah a bit of an excursion for food.

Yeah, first time leaving Tokyo and we've brought our appetites.

We barely ate anything today.

You also brought a pretty awesome shirt.

I know I did.

What do you think man?

I love it.

I just got it yesterday.

An all-time favorite already.

All I can say is hello kitty.

Alright guys so I didn't really explain why we're going to Yokohama but this is basically

home to the largest Chinatown (横浜中華街) in all of Japan and also one of the largest

Chinatown's in all of Asia.

So perfect place for street food.

We're going to have a mix of Japanese street food and Chinese street food.

So it should be really tasty.

Right now we are walking to the metro station and we're going to be taking it to Shibuya

station and then transferring to a different line and traveling south with about 30 minutes

or so.

So it should be pretty straightforward but we'll show you how to get there in case you

also want to do this journey.

There is Sam.

So we made it to Shibuya and now we are looking for the Toyoko line and at first it can be

a little overwhelming trying to navigate the system here in Tokyo just because you have

so many different lines but everything is really well marked so if you just stop and

read the signs it is possible to figure it out on your own and if not they do have info

points as well where you can ask for assistance.

So yeah, we're on our way we're transferring right now to the second line and we should

be in Yokohama (横浜) in just 30 minutes.

So we have made it to

Yokohama Chinatown (横浜中華街).

It took us a while to get here.

It was not 30 minutes.

I have a feeling there has to be an express train and we were just on the really really

slow one because we've been traveling for a while.

We are here.

We are starving.

Like hangry stage.

And we're ready to eat.

And it is super windy here as well.

Super windy.

Start of the rainy season and there is just wind blowing but anyways we're going to roll

with it.

Let's go find some food.

So many options this all looks so good.

Wow look at this.

Okay so let me show you what I got.

They had a sweet and savory selection and man this is burning in my hands.

Yeah, they had a great selection.

Woah.

Freshly steamed.

Yep.

I went for the one that has meat and an egg inside.

So I went savory and yeah let's dig in.

Here we go.

I've let this cool down for a few moments so I think it is safe to finally bite into

it.

Let's see.

Not going to burn your lips too badly?

Not too too bad.

Mmmm.

Oh check that out.

Wow.

So we've got some beef, onions, some egg in there.

There is a lot going on.

Yeah.

Tasty?

Mmmmhmm.

Yeah.

Really good and the bread does look quite thick.

Yep.

But it is very spongy.

Okay.

It is very fluffy airy bread.

How much was it?

This was 500 Yen.

Oh not bad.

So like four something US dollars.

Mmmhmm.

A good start.

You've taken a pretty good gnaw into that already.

Yes I have.

There is a little bit left.

Feeding the cat right here.

Mmmm.

Oh yeah.

Especially like the sauce.

It is just so savory and good.

So which one did you get Rob?

I got the one with the shrimps.

It is like a little seafood kind of stir-fry sauce.

Wow, man.

It is nice.

It is just really really hot.

Yeah yeah.

So you need to be like careful with it or else you will for sure burn your mouth.

So what does it taste like man?

It just tastes good.

It tastes good.

It kind of has a tangy salsa taste to it but notice look it is basically just bread.

Yeah yeah.

The filling looks like it fills most of it.

Hahaha.

But it doesn't.

The filling is definitely small.

It is basically hey I'll tell you what the filling is it is just going to fill your stomach

up with a lot of bread.

Hahaha.

Is it nice.

Yeah.

Am I glad I bought it.

Yeah.

Would I go back and buy another one.

Probably not.

We found our next little food stop.

We have ordered a little try of shui mei this was 380 Yen and you get three.

This is basically pork and shrimp.

Just little steamed dumplings.

It looks really good.

And then we also got another treat right underneath.

These are sesame balls which Sam just could not resist so we're going to be having some

of those later.

But let's start with savory.

Alright time to try it.

Alright I just had the shrimp one which was delicious.

Yeah.

Let's move on to the next.

I think that is pork.

Mmmm.

What do you think of that?

Wow.

That is really flavorful.

I'm usually not a fan of the pork.

The shrimp is still my favorite but the pork one is pretty good.

It is so nice to be having dim sum on a skewer here.

I know.

It is so tasty.

We haven't had any since Hong Kong.

It has been a long time since we had some.

Mmmhmm.

Maybe I'll leave you one.

And what was the price of that?

This was 380 Yen for three of them.

Wow.

So this is one of your favorites right here.

All time favorite dim sum so basically it is a ball coated in sesame seeds and inside

there is usually something sweet.

Either sesame paste or red bean paste.

Alright.

So I'll find out what it is.

Wow.

These looks so good.

Oh yeah.

Mmmm.

It is crunchy on the outside and then look at this look at how much filling you've got

in there.

That is just outstanding.

This is just so good.

It is like it is incredible that I'm already having dessert already this early into the

street food taste test.

So the price of these bad boys you get three of them they're pretty big it is 310 Yen so

under three US bucks.

A pretty good deal.

We are just on a roll with the sweets.

We came across a place that has egg tarts.

And I mean I feel like we've had these all over the world.

Macau.

Portugal.

Brazil.

There is always a variation of these egg tarts.

We haven't had them in Japan so exciting times.

Let's have them here.

And these were 180 Yen per egg tart.

Those look so good.

Oh my gosh.

Mmmm.

It is almost like pudding.

That is so creamy and sweet in there.

Give that a little squeeze for us.

A little squeeze.

There you go.

Woah!

Look at that.

And it has got a layer of caramelized sugar on top so yeah this is pretty tasty.

I have to say I think it is a bit pricey.

A 180 Yen for a little bite but it is good.

The quality is outstanding and I'm glad can you leave me a little bit.

Hahaha.

I can leave you a little bit yes.

Thank you.

What is leftover.

Well this is what is left.

Let's try it.

Oh that is so good.

That is so creamy and smooth and pudding like.

And I love the flakiness of the tart.

That is delicious.

Absolutely delicious.

So there are lots of different shops serving up these egg tarts.

The shop we went to is by no means the only one.

Check this out.

This one is just right across the street.

Alright guys so Yokohama street Chinatown (横浜中華街) is a great place for street

food but if street food is not your thing you also have a whole bunch of Chinese restaurants

to choose from and a lot of them are buffets so you pay a set fee and then you can eat

as much as you want so definitely lots of food options here in Yokohama.

This has been great so far.

I mean we've only eaten at a couple of places and I'm already loving it.

So let's see what else we can find.

So we have now turned down one of the little side streets here in Chinatown (横浜中華街)

and what I find really interesting is that it is not just all street food and restaurants.

Down the little side streets we're also seeing like Chinese supermarkets.

You have like massage parlors focusing on Chinese medicine and reflexology and you've

got souvenir shops.

I mean places to buy decorations for your home.

And it is just so pretty to walk down these side streets as well because you have the

red paper lanterns and the lights are starting to come on because it is late in the afternoon.

So yeah it is pretty cool.

I'm enjoying it so far.

But we are still on the hunt for food.

That is the plan.

Finding more food.

Are you snacking on stuff?

Yeah.

More food.

Woah.

Ginger.

It is so strong.

Like I'm literally almost coughing when I eat it.

That is when you know it is good.

Gent over here has been dying for a bowl of soup.

I know.

I just like the street food is nice but a lot of them are repetitive.

I think we've had a lot of the options that they've had here.

I'm sure there is more we can always fit more in here but there is just endless restaurants

row upon row upon row and I feel like almost not going into them is kind of missing out

on part of the experience.

Yeah.

And I'm really dying for a bowl of soup.

Let's get in.

Let's go.

The food has arrived.

And first of all let's just talk about the size of my bowl.

Bigger than my head I would say.

It is a behemoth bowl.

This could easily feed two people.

Um so yeah well luckily there is three of us.

Yeah there you go I'll share.

So you've got some thin noodles.

It looks like some ground beef.

Some baby bok choy.

This orange stuff looks like spicy sesame oil.

And yeah let's try the broth first.

How is it?

Wow.

That is spicy.

Spicy?

Yeah.

That is good.

It looks spicy oh wow.

It is spicy.

You're coughing.

So yeah let's try.

Oh, even mint leaves.

That is going to be interesting.

Wow.

Initially you had ordered soup but they didn't have it available.

They didn't have that.

And that is an okay thing because I got one of my favorite dishes here which is Mapo Tofu.

It is tofu in like a very savory sauce.

So let's try that out.

But it in some bowl of rice.

It came with rice.

Mmmm.

That sauce is just divine.

So savory and woah delayed onset with that spice.

Really really good though.

Super flavorful.

Oh my gosh we are stuffed.

Feeling stuffed.

We are stuffed.

I don't think we needed that much food because we had already been eating a bit of street

food and we're still planning to eat some more.

So that was just like a food bomb.

And in all fairness the portions were massive, the food quality was excellent though.

And my Mapo Tofu was 1200 Yen and your soup was 800 Yen so 2000 Yen total.

Decent value.

Under 20 bucks for the two of us to eat.

And yeah let's see what else we can find here.

More food.

What have you got in that cute looking face.

Oh my!

So they had a whole bunch of sweet and savory options.

Kind of like the first place we went to except these are cuter.

And for the sweet ones they had chocolate custard, strawberry custard and this one is

matcha custard.

So green tea flavor and I don't know if you can really see because it is starting to get

dark but this is a green panda.

It is like a light soft, green.

So yeah we're going to be digging into this.

Oh my gosh you just bit into the panda.

This is mostly bread.

But you've got to bite deeper.

This is disappointing.

You've got to bite deeper to get into that.

That was a big bite.

Oh was it?

Look at how thick the bread is.

Okay.

It is just a lot of dough.

So it looks cuter a lot better than it tastes.

I'm chewing on green tea flavored bread.

I'll try a bite.

Sam your turn.

Alright.

The name of the game is to get to the middle stuff.

Look Audrey that is where it is.

That is good.

Do you like it?

I do.

I do.

Better than the savory one?

No, not better but just different.

Okay.

Last street food item of the day.

We're going to be getting some bubble tea before we go back to that station.

We've had this on our mind for a while.

Woah.

We are beyond stuffed.

My belly is protruding at the moment.

I'm counting my little coins over here.

Oh my gosh.

It is going to be 350 Yen.

Get one.

We don't need our own.

Yes.

Well last but not least.

Bubble tea.

It says this is my favorite mmmm so delicious.

So delicious.

What is your favorite drink?

You know what is next?

You've got to pop that straw in there hard.

Pop it hard.

Oh yeah.

Oh yeah.

That is how we do it.

Oh yeah.

Okay.

Mmm.

Is it good?

That is pretty good.

It is not quite as thick and syrupy as the ones we were having in Hong Kong and Taiwan

but it'll do.

It is refreshing.

Mmmm.

There is a tapioca.

That is my favorite part.

That is the best part.

Little tapioca balls.

So I hope you enjoyed our little street food tour of Chinatown (横浜中華街) here in

Yokohama (横浜).

We had a really fun time just eating so much food.

It was delicious.

Yeah.

I'm leaving here stuffed and I don't feel like we spent that much money.

No.

So yeah that was cool.

So yeah if you're planning to travel to Japan and you're going to be in Tokyo it is super

easy to get to Yokohama (横浜).

It may not take 30 minutes like we thought but an hour isn't so bad.

No, so yeah come check it out.

And highly highly recommended.

So we'll see you guys in the next video.

Bye for now.

Tata.

Did you turn them on???

Hello?

Is this thing on?

Hello! It's Mashu and I'll be your random commentor!

We decided we really wanted to make a long----

---walking video while we went to a supermarket.

And boy was it far away without our bicycles, lol.

I really like the different styles of houses in this area.

<--- that one is a little scary though...

SUDDEN TURN!!!

We weren't 100% sure how to get there on foot.

Random car park for these houses.

<---- that bike would have been stole anywhere else in the world....

Don't worry, by the way, we looked both ways before crossing the roads :P

It's RINA!!

I'm still addicted to how Japan looks---

---even after all this time.

We were going to not add music and just---

leave the sounds of Japan. But---

--it was so windy and we were talking about weird things

---Like why Moka eats her poop.. ^^")

Is that someone's bed hanging over the railing?

So Japanese @w@)

Rina at this point was telling me about how all ----

-- her friends learned piano around this area, but---

--not from the same teacher!

even though they were all so close to each other.

Did you hear about the crook who stole a calendar??

.. He got twelve months x3

Bad joke? sorry.

I wonder what is in their basket?

Maybe a puppy? :3

You can't see us in the mirror, because we are vampires.

So many little side roads.

That bike is bigger than her...

I wonder if these trees are cherry blossoms?

I mean the normal ones, not the palm trees.

From fancy houses to apartments everywhere.

Hold up, it was hot. Why is she in a down jacket?

Do you think this store is called big.. because it is big?

Tiny bike!!!

... Turns out we can't record inside ;w;) sorry

But on the upside, we bought TONS of stuff.

How is the quality of the video?

Beautiful!

Dodge, dodge, dodge the bikes~

Child on front and back? is that safe?

Long time fans will have seen this place before.

But in reverse and on a bike!

Lol, we refused to wait for the lights (*'▽')

Is it strange that people ride on the footpath?

<-- I like this kind of folding fence.

What?! He is on his phone, one hand riding, headphones in! DX

It was around this point we regretted buying so much stuff...

But BIG has big discounts!

Why are these yellow covers on the wires?

One of us jumped into the fence... cough..

D--didn't get hooked on it... >_>

Rina wanted to "borrow" that fruit.

Too peaceful.... forgetting to .. subtitle.... zzz..

This is my Japan.

Sun setting. Little roads. Clean houses.

.. Being looked at by old men. Perfect.

Finally found the railroad tracks! Almost to the station!

At this point, our arms had grown a foot longer from holding bags.

Do you think the people who live here, get annoyed by the trains?

Maybe there is extra cheap rent? or is it more expensive....?

Choo chooooo, I'm a traaaaain!

Skinny mode! .... Activate!

Almost finished folks.

So with that in mind, would you rather music or live sounds?

I mean for these walking videos.

Or perhaps voice over?

or even just subtitles like this?

Choo choo! I'm an in a hurry TRAAAAAIN!!

Time to say goodbye almost.. ;w;)

So thanks for watching, ne? :3

BYE!

Tokyo Japan Travel Guide | Asia - Duration: 3:33.

The Japanese remake of the Eiffel Tower, Tokyo Tower offers two observation points.

Travelers suggest coming here at night to watch the city twinkle, as well as listen

to music at the sky-high Club 333.

The Tokyo National Museum houses about 116,000 pieces of art and artifacts that cover the

longest recorded history of Japan, including samurai armor and swords.

You'll may see women in traditional Japanese dress walking about town, especially around

religious sites including the Meiji Shrine, where weddings are often held.

Sensoji Temple is one of the most popular religious sites to visit in Tokyo.

Unless you want to jostle with crowds, travelers recommend coming early morning or at night.

This high-tech museum features exciting interactive exhibits that showcase engineering feats,

such as robotics and space exploration.

Cherry blossom season in Japan lasts for about a week in late March or early April.

A time honored tradition among the Japanese is to have a picnic under one of the cherry

blossom trees.

Popular spots for this include the East Gardens of the Imperial Palace or the Shinjuku Gyoen

National Garden.

Tokyo Skytree towers over Tokyo's skyline, bypassing other popular vantage points including

Tokyo Tower and the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building.

The Skytree allows visitors but be prepared for long lines.

The best place to experience the urban chaos of Tokyo is the Shibuya Crossing, located

right outside the Shibuya metro station.

When one street light turns red at the crossing, all of them do as to accommodate the area's

many pedestrians.

From Odaiba, you'll have tremendous views of Tokyo Bay.

Believe it or not, karaoke was invented in Japan.

So while out, make sure you stop by a karaoke bar.

You can find a handful of them in Shibuya.

If you want to snag cool electronics, comics or anime there's no better place to shop than

Akihabara.

On the weekends, the streets are vehicle-free to accommodate pedestrians.

Don't expect California rolls when you arrive in Tokyo.

Here, sushi is very different from what's offered in the U.S.

While some is wrapped in seaweed, a lot of it is cuts of fish placed on top of rice.

That's it.

The Imperial Palace is where Japan's emperor and the royal family reside.

Getting admitted is tough, but still stop by to visit the verdant East Gardens.

For high-end shopping and some of Tokyo's highly acclaimed restaurants, head to Ginza.

While at the Meiji Shrine, travelers recommend contributing to the prayer wall.

All you have to do is write down a wish and tie it onto this wall.

You'll find this bizarre statue along with many others at animator Miyazaki Hayao's (creator

of "Spirited Away") Ghibli Museum.

Thank you for watching.

you do combinations, sticks plus this,

the more you drive this against cartilage.

So, it would be better to modify technique.

Everything should be as least effort as possible.
