Welcome to my Kotatsu! I make Japan lifestyle videos, as well videos about my passions. I'm always doing my best to add value to my, as well as other's lives, so come get Kozy, and let's have some fun!
Wait what the actual fuck. I live near Iidabashi and have gone to both shrines and have NEVER made the connection to the game. Akagi shrine is like my favorite grab a beer and hang out on the steps at night with friends spot. Kagurazaka is the neighborhood that shopping street is. It is heavily french inspired. IIRC, it used to be a french district before the war. Then the war happened so the French left, but the culture still stayed until the french came back. There still is a sizeable french expat community due to the french international school near by. I think it's the only french one in Tokyo? Regardless very bougie area, but comfortable low-key night life.
omg you used A Way of Life from P3P I got an immediate chill listening to it. Thank you including it - we'll never gonna get P3P FeMC in Reload engine which is a shame, but any inclusion of the game in any way or form keeps its memory alive and I really appreciate it
yes! I've never played P3P, but I love that song so much. I love using it wherever I can. Here's to hoping for the FEMC, or at the very least her music included in the future
I recreated it myself in After Effects! I plan to make a member video going over how I made it in the future, I'm actually really proud of it! I kinda made it last minute for the video because I felt it was missing an extra flair in the edit.
Great video, heading to Japan in a few months and will definitely check these out, love Persona. Also great quality video how have you not got over 100k sub? well, let's change that you've got one more here. 😁
0:35 i mean, if ever the s.e.e.s. team members will be back in action, this building will be their hideout and will be under kirijo company name. Imagine a school dorm that turned into a company building, that will be insane setting ngl
That's a good editing video! Venus Port ended its business in 2022 due to bad management caused by COVID. A lot of people came from the closing ceremony and it's still in people's memory... Now it's turned into a theme park, attracting people. It was fun and impressive that even places with unknown exact background went to the most similar places lol
I was sad to hear so, and unfortunate that I couldn't go inside (even if I paid, I believe filming is prohibited...) But luckily a piece of it is still in maps! Life changes so fast.
WOW. I randomly came across this video in recommendations, and so glad it did. Enjoyed every bit of the video. I love P3, although lots of sceneries have changed from back then, it was nice to reminisce. Awesome job! Really appreciate the tips on customs and courtesies at the shrine. Thank you! Respect.
this is such a good vlog! i managed to go to irl reference places for Persona 5 and Your name(movie) back in 2019! Hopefully one day i get to come back to japan to find these references.
Bro,I'm from Russia and I wish that all this stupid politics situation end and we can live in peace like all people want to. My favorite dream - visit Japan and see this beautiful buildings Thank you for video!
About the statue of an old man from a sushi chain restaurant with his arms outstretched He is a hero who reduced the number of Somali pirates by giving them jobs.
I'm 26 and feel that same "behind" feeling. Whenever I see someone who's 25, 24, or younger who's done more than me, or just other things I feel good for them but sometimes I feel pressure on myself to do more. At times this is good because it can be motivating, other times demotivating, because in the overall scheme of things, being 25 you've still got so much more time to do things in your young adult life. What helps me when I feel this way is, I think of myself at the start of my 20's, and how much I've changed since then and what I've done. It gets me excited rather than depressed thinking of how far I've come and how much further I'll be in another 5 years. Also, it's a good thought to focus on what you're doing now that you're excited about and where those things will lead. That might help you too, or might totally not haha. That's what I think though. I think it's really good you're focusing on yourself and going to school to build a better foundation of Japanese you can have for life. I really appreciate the deep video, and sorry to hear about the loss of your friend too. Don't feel a need to immediately make videos right away, it's ok to take time!
Very late reply, but thanks for your kind words! I appreciate it a lot. A lot has happened recently, but I have moved into a new apartment and will get back into the groove soon once again. I think having a big reset will help a lot, and I really am just excited to start really pushing RU-vid more and more, seeing how far I can take it. I'm glad my thoughts about being 25 have resonated too, it seems a lot of people feel the same, and that's comforting! Good luck to you too, and stay tuned❤️
Yo thanks for sharing & I’m also turning 25 very soon. It kinda hit me recently that I'm still "young" but I don't feel super young anymore where I can afford to dilly dally, make "mistakes" and waste time anymore. I already made all the dumb mistakes from 18-23ish(ok...24 lol) so my 25-30 will be me playing "catch up" or just a wiser me making better choices. I can kind of relate with the ‘feeling behind’ thing though. I’m just about to finish my degree and I’m having trouble finding a job in my state because of the shitty entry level tech job market and I’m also not where I want to be Japanese level wise in order to find a job in Japan. All that is moreso on me probably, but then again a year ago I didn’t really have any clear direction in my life. But now, almost 25, I do know what I want, which is to get fluent in Japanese (enough to survive in a japanese company) and get a programming job in Japan. I never really had that feeling of ‘feeling behind’ until recently when I started watching more YT videos and going on LinkedIn lol. I guess i subconsciously compared myself to others and i had to catch myself...I think everyone kinda does that. As a piece of advice, even though it’s pretty hard, try not to compare yourself to others. There’s always going to be a bigger fish in the pond, or some dude that’s more successful, or people that are ‘ahead’. Everyone has their own problems, hardships and their own unique journey in life and stuff so comparing yourself to another person/your position in life to someone else’s is like comparing an apple to an orange. Just keep doing your best dude, I’m sure things will get better and just stick to your path. It's good that you know that you want to stay in Japan and you have clear goals that you want to achieve!
I totally agree, one of the downsides of being on social media of any form and RU-vid is comparing yourself to amazing things others are doing. I think my biggest thing is I'm probably 40% comparing myself to others, and 60% comparing myself to where I think I should be based on my own skills or expectations for myself. It's hard to see other people doing things, but it's even more difficult to feel that I've somehow failed myself. But my mindset is evolving, and will lead to a brighter future. I wish you the best of luck with your pursuit of programming in Japan... they could really use the help 😂😂
I don't want to sound cliche, but it's the 25 existential crisis. Older you are, time will pass "faster". Remember that you are still so young. You are not behind. My BF is much older than you and back then he was in a really bad era (nearly homeless). Years later, he has a really great job, a house, a dog, etc lol. The most important tip I will tell you it's to create contact with people around you. You don't know on who you will stumble one day, but I can understand that it's a lot more difficult for you because of the language barrier. That's why I would tell me to focus a lot on learning Japanese, even if this is quite hard. Yeah it's important to have degree/qualification, but to create link/relationship with people it's also a lot important. PS: I'm sorry about your friend, and also thanks again because of you I have been running for a year by this week. :)
I totally agree... it's like some sort of existential crisis, but instead of questioning my existence it's questioning the speed at which I am able to accomplish my goals. We'll save the real existential crisis for after I've become successful and accomplished what I want 😂 Also I'm so glad you've been running for a year, had no idea I helped inspire you! That makes me so happy, you have no idea.
Turning 24 this November, I get this feeling a lot. I feel like I've wasted half of my twenties. I kept pointing fingers and trying to lie to myself that "it was not my fault," but ultimately, it always was my fault for not working hard enough. Now, I feel so behind compared to my friends, and I'm just so ashamed of myself. I also have a dream to live in Japan and pursue my life there, but I'm so immature and irresponsible. I know life in Japan is going to be twice as hard, being alone in a foreign country, but I just feel that my life is there and ultimately I have to go. Yet, I'm so unprepared as an adult. I'm trying to work on that and become a better person, but every step I take forward, it feels like I'm also taking two steps back, I just want to one day feel proud of myself. Also, happy birthday! I hope we can both find our true selves in this life journey.
Takes a lot of courage to express what you’re going through/feeling, I commend you for that. Sorry to hear about your friend, it’s never easy losing someone, especially in that kind of way. I’m in my 30’s and I can tell you I’ve felt the same way for a long time. We can be very tough on ourselves. I still experience what you’ve talked about on a consistent basis but you’ve just got to do what you know will make you happy in the current moment. You seem very passionate in some of your other videos, you have a talent there budd. And you ain’t letting anyone down, everyone has roadblocks; life is tough. You’ll get there! Happy Birthday bro.
