100K!!! Well girl, YOU BROUGHT THE GOODS for the perfect video to hit the 100! This was my favorite video of yours...ever. The editing now is one of the best on YT in travel videos, narration and taking us along with your is so authentic and welcoming and the music choices are PERFECT. I am in love with Kyoto now because of you and your video. Thank you!
Oh my godddddd BW! Literally sitting here smiling ear to ear reading your comment - thank you so so much. I poured so much love into this episode. It's my favourite one too.... to me it feels like 15 minutes of pure gratitude and joy! I am soooo happy you loved it, it makes me feel like all the hard work and changing songs, adding things, re-shooting things was ALL worth it :) You've got me so inspired to start editing this week's video! WOOHOO!
Phoebe is back! Kyoto is just the greatest place, and is my favourite Japanese city. Going back there next May, so thanks Phoebe for this taster (yes pun intended, 😂 Kyoto is more than food, though it is certainly delicious !)
Oh I AM BACK, Aubrey! I am just buzzing on all this good energy at the moment :) I knew it when I stepped off that train in Tokyo but it's been even better than I could've imagined. I really feel like I'm starting to find myself :) Yes, I adore Kyoto! My fav too! I could easily live there!
I love this video! The editing and your lovely face that is glowing with newfound happiness. I am so happy to see you doing well and I can’t wait to see more of your videos. ♥️
Thank you Irene!! That makes me so happy to hear, I poured my whole heart into editing this one and to hear you loved it is so wonderful :) Yesss! Travelling and making these videos has set my whole soul alight! I'm finding new joy and happiness :) I've got some amazing travel adventures I'm putting together for the rest of this year. So excited! P xx
“The plan for tonight is just go out, have fun, good food, love life.” You certainly did that and then some! You have given me a permanent life plan. Phoebe…100k subs soon coming! All of your hard work over these years coming to a big milestone. Congratulations…seriously…doing what you love and then finding in yourself (especially during these past few extremely difficult months) the artistry and talent and confidence. It’s so admirable. I’ll write my usual more detailed thoughts on this vid later today (I’ve gotta go right now), but I wanted to send a quick convrats. I’ll be smiling all day, but not as big as your smile was throughout that whole video! Have a great night, my friend, and we’ll chat in the comments later! Rob
Omg I think maybe we should get that little life motto on some merch 😂 thank you so much Rob - you always sum things up so well 🙏🏼 Looking forward to Rob’s Review 😂🥰
So wonderful to see the sparkle back in your eyes. Love the content. Any doubt you had in your ability to produce professional videos should be totally put to bed. Also love the addition of James.
I can't tell you how much that means, Louisa... You know, I literally had a crash course in editing in Premiere Pro over a few hours and took all this on by myself and I was so scared. I was overwhelmed and I thought I'd give it my best shot but I'd probably end up tanking the whole channel and losing it all. I genuinely thought I might have to quit and get an office job again because I wouldn't be able to do it. But that didn't happen. Instead, I found a whole new world of joy and creativity. Making these videos makes me so happy. I don't just do it, I LOVE doing it. This whole thing has changed my life. Truly. I am finding so much trust and confidence in myself :) It's amazing. Thank you so much for believing in me! Yes, I love James in the vids too! It's great! It's so lovely to capture all the fun. I'm hoping to be able to travel with lots of friends this year and get different people in the videos, meet new travel buddies along the way :) Just have a great time with amazing people and film all of it! P xx
Loving this one! You are really nailing the editing. Such a fascinating looking country too, with very much it's own vibe and new things to be experienced.
Oh my gosh thank you so much - I feel like it's all really clicked on this trip. I'm so inspired and loving the whole creative process. I feel like I'm really finding my voice and each week I put one of these up, I gain more confidence and trust in myself. It's life changing stuff.
Loved the video Phoebe. Brought back so many memories from my trip to Japan last century and the time we spent on the Shinkansen from Tokyo to Susono to Kyoto. Thanks 🙏
Oh I’m sooo glad it brought back memories from your time in Japan! I’m so grateful I’ll have these videos for the rest of my life as a visual photo album - a Time Capsule of all these amazing things I get to do in my life! It’s unreal ♥️
The trip was 6 years before RU-vid existed!! So all I have somewhere in storage is still photos of my time there! Photos of the Golden Temple or the Imperial Palace for example! No cloud storage in those days! 😂
Oh my gosh 🥰 you’re so kind, thank you 😊 it’s amazing to be able to share all the highs and lows of life and be accepted by this community through it all. It’s life changing stuff, truly ♥️
Omg atleast now the RU-vid algo has come to some senses and you guys are so close to 100k subscribers I'm really happy for you guys.keep up the good work 😊😊
1st of all, congrats on reaching 100K subscribers. Also, yes you definitely need more time in Kyoto. But, you stayed there 1 day longer than me. I went there in 2014 and only stayed overnight. Wish I could have stayed longer. I did stay in a capsule hotel like you and liked the experience, although I stayed in July and it was really humid. Nice little summary of your 2 days there. And wow, you looked so pretty in the Kimono 😍
Thank you so much, Don! I cannot believe we did it! It's an amazing feeling - I feel so inspired and validated today :) hahaha my Kimono is so bright! I figured all the girls wore bright Kimonos so I picked the most colourful one I could find only to go outside and all the girls had subtle tones on haha Either way, I loved wearing it. It felt so special!
Thank you for touring Kyoto! I went there 11 years ago and loved it. This October, I will be moving to Kyoto for school, where I will be living there for at least the next 2 years or so. I'm looking forward to it and to see how much the city has changed within the last 10+ years.
Oh wow, what a beautiful place to live. I have to say, of all the cities I've seen in Japan, Kyoto is the one I would most like to live in :) It's such a gorgeous place, so much good food! You're going to have a wonderful time living there :)
Hiya! Shinskansen is superior! When I was traveling from Tokyo to Kyoto they even excused themselves for being 17 seconds late. As if anyone would’ve noticed. Kyoto has so much to offer, we just had one day so we visited Kinkaku-ji and it was incredibly beautiful, it’s not featured in this video so I recommend to do that next time you’re in Kyoto, believe me it’s worth it. Is that capsule hotel like a hostel or is it a real hotel? Because it really looks like a fancy hostel and I’ve seen hostels with pods/capsules before. Hey Phoebe, regarding the lens, size doesn’t matter, it’s the content that does 🫶. I love that dress, looks Japanese ❤. Miso soup is my favorite soup ever 🥵. Thanks for sharing your Kyoto tips and have a great week ahead 🤙
hahaha that's so funny that they excused themselves. The Japanese are so lovely! Okay, amazing, I'll add that to my itinerary for next time. I'm already planning to go back to Kyoto, I could honestly live there! Good question on the hotel... it's kind of a hybrid?! I dunno... cos you have the shared facilities and everyone's pods are in the same area but then everything is super duper nice... hahaha YES! You got my back with that lens ;) He may have his fancy wide-angle whatever but we've got style over here on this channel ;) OMG I LOVE miso too! It's so good! Side question for you cos I know you're a fellow tummy-trouble person... do you follow a FODMAPS diet? I started this week cos I've had some bad tummy flare ups and I have never felt better!
It is SO back, Lizzie! I am just BUZZING at the moment. Feels like I'm really learning to tune into my inner voice, developing so much trust in myself and, honestly, getting an insane amount of joy from making these videos. To think I was scared of taking all this over by myself and now... it's my biggest source of happiness :)
Ok..."Rob's Review" as promised 🤣 * Still dig the quick intro of what's to come. (However, as a whisky aficionado, and a lover of Suntory...what was that drink?!?! We never find out!). * In 15 seconds, you effectively describe why anyone visiting Japan should get the JR Train Pass and how to do it with Klook. Perfect. * Ok...the music...ever since these videos have become yours alone, your music selections have encapsulated how you were feeling during your journey or your trips. This Japan series is no exception--happy, bouncy, "glad to be alive" kind of music. Hard to not just dance along with you. * Let the images show how great the bullet train is. (Not to mention how good those Bento boxes looked! Yum!) * Wait...an Uber driver in a suit with white gloves! First class!! The heck with the bus! * Everyone listen to James! Like and Subscribe...be the 100,000th Sub!! * Capsule hotel...how perfect for this journey. * Ok, James...while I admit that your channel and the quick-shot videos are indeed fantastic...and while you *may* have a nicer camera...you don't have her amazing style! Having said that, everyone, do go to his two videos as well. Seeing Phoebe with her stuffed yellow shark is hilarious! * Yes, Phoebe...you need merch from LGB: "The Plan is: just go out, have fun, find good food, love life!" I'm gonna use that phrase for my next trip! * "Have fun"--puppies and kittens are always fun * "Good food"--yakitori in Japan 😋 * "Love life"--sometimes the best days are the unplanned, "let's just go," days, just like that evening--heck this entire Japan series so far! * Had me a bit nervous for a moment: saw "The Next Morning" but then the music and shots kept coming. And you left the hotel! But, *whew*..."Good Morning You Guys!" 😆 * Ok...ok...ok...gotta talk about the Kimonos! WOW 🤩 I knew it was a fun thing to do in Japan, but I think now I understand just how much fun. What an incredible way to feel like you're a part of really being there. Gotta ask, though...ever feel a little...weird or uncomfortable being out in public with them? Or was it truly the pure joy that appeared on you and James' faces throughout? (also, both of you looked really good in them. I hope you forever treasure the pictures of you in it that you posted to IG!) * I already know Japanese food is great...but you make it look so...colorful...so appetizing and delicious. Great shots! (even if James doesn't think you have a fancy enough camera 🤪) * Except uni....I'm not a fan and was cringing watching you eat it. I saw in other comments that you are willing to try it again, but only in Japan. Perhaps that is sage advice. 'Cause here in the States...not so good. 🤢 (However...I laughed out loud when James told you what it was. The sign of a good friend to raz you after setting you up!) * Shopping in Japan looks so amazing. Well done in just showing what is available and how the shops are arranged...no need for commentary; let the images and music do the work! * And, speaking of work! That rickshaw guy is, indeed, buff! You got to wear traditional Japanese attire, while riding a traditional Japanese rickshaw, through the traditional old capital of Japan. Just think of how absolutely cool that is! What a life you're living! * Were you able to get some video of your rickshaw driver talking and pointing out the sites? * Yuzu Ramen?!?!?! OMG...I love ramen (miso is my usual favorite)...but yuzu? Oh, wow. * Way to get a bit of *revenge* on James and catching him off-guard! (I also can't slurp my ramen. I know you're supposed to--my wife reminds me to do so all the time--but I just can't) * Bah...you don't need to hit the "tourist" sites. It looks like y'all hit the better sites anyway! * Excellent mix of your thoughts looking forward to Osaka while in still Kyoto while showing the quick 'previews' of what you did in Osaka! That was delightful (and the escalator shot---😂) Phoebe--I've been watching some of your past videos a lot lately as I'm finalizing our trip to NZ and Australia next month. As you sit on the precipice of a great milestone (100k!!), I even went further back. You've come a long way and have created easily one of the best travel vlogs on YT. I've been watching a lot of other travel vlogs about Australia and NZ. A lot. And I keep going back to yours because you provide such incredible information and show people what they can really do. Because of you, I know we're gonna have the time of our lives in Auckland (I didn't know about the All Blacks Experience!) and we'll also be staying at Ceder Creek Lodge in Tamborine for a night (looking forward to a wine and charcuterie board!). I was at first intimidated in planning this trip but, we know what we want to do in NZ and in Brisbane (my wife's Gma's hometown back in the '40's). Again...all because of your videos and your inspirations. The high production value (which is another way of saying "all of your hard work") shines through and has, at least in my opinion, gotten so much better this year. It's part of what makes your channel so much better. You've also been open and vulnerable in these videos. You've let the world into your heart, knowing it will help you heal (I think that's why we like these so much--fellow introverts here). They've become not just a journey throughout the world to be shared, but also your journey through your toughest of times. A modern day version of an autobiography. I think this is why your channel has exploded and will continue to grow--hopefully beyond even your wildest dreams. Keep going. Keep sharing. Keep inspiring us all. And we'll see you next week in Osaka! Rob
ROB'S REVIEWWWWWWW!!! It's here! hahaha okay, okay, noted! It was a whisky highball ;) I got you next time. I am so happy you're noticing the music choices and loving them! Me too. Each week I just seem to be finding these tracks that bring to life how happy and thankful I am for all these amazing moments. You know I got you with the GMYG!! hehehe And yessss you tell that naughty James haha we've got a certain flair over here on this channel ;) Okay, so the Kimonos! At first I felt a little self-conscious because my Kimono was SO bright and I am SO tall and SO blonde haha I felt like I stood out so much and I can get a bit uncomfortable when it feels like people are looking at me but after a while, I relaxed and it was so much fun. Heaps of people stopped to take photos with us, it was so sweet and I felt so comfortable in it, I wish I could've worn one every day in Japan. Ahhhh! I cannot believe you're going to all those spots :) You're going to have the best time in Australia and NZ. Honestly, the all blacks experience is epic! I would do it again in a heartbeat! Thank you so much for noticing the journey and all the work that goes into these. There was a time there when I was so overwhelmed by the videos. I thought I'd try and make them but I didn't know if I was capable and I was scared I wouldn't be good enough at it and would lose everything. Turns out, I love making them so much. They make me so happy and they've helped me reconnect to that creative part of myself :) I have so much energy and passion for it! have a great week, Rob! Look forward to the next review hehehe
James coming after Phoebe camera is uncalled for , red card 😂😂, has he not seen her amazing edits and good music choice !! ,also I can't wait till you get to 100k !! 🎉🎉
THE SLANDER! Can you believe it?! hahahah you get him, Zoey! Don't let him get away with bullying me! ;) We did it my love! I was eating a bowl of oatmeal this morning as it ticked past 100k :) Just the most amazing feeling. I can't tell you how inspired and validated I feel, I'm really starting to tune into that inner voice and finding so much confidence and trust within myself. It's life changing stuff. Thank you for all your love and support x
@@travelforphoebe aaagh !!! 100k woop, woop congratulations 🥳🥳Phoebe. I'm so glad you are finding your inner voice again and your happiness again , you deserve this 100k and so much more 🥳🥳. excited to watch along for the journey ahead through all the ups and downs you've got this 🌻
Once you edit the clips in final cut pro the colours pop visual clarity is so good you don’t even need expensive big bulky equipment to carry around just a smartphone will do damn just relized it was recorded in 4k no wonder the visuals are so good but the storage space must be running low towards end of the day
Love the video. Japan is such an interesting and beautiful country. Great to see you having such a brilliant time. Just want to say that one of the reasons I started watching LGB videos was the high quality of the video production, and it's a real testament to you that the video production quality remains so high. Looking forward to the rest of the Japan series and seeing where your travels take you next. All the best, Phoebe.
Oh my gosh, Paul... you've no idea how much I appreciate that. I had never edited a video before. I got a 'crash course,' in Premiere Pro in a couple of hours and that was it... I was so scared and overwhelmed by it all. But making these videos, taking over every aspect of it, has given me so much joy for the whole process. It makes me so truly happy. I'm learning, experimenting and I think I've found my style. It's helped me develop so much trust in myself and confidence :) Thank you for noticing. Thank you for the support. It means SO much to me :) P x
Oh my gosh thank youuuu! I think so too! I spent DAYS and DAYS working on it, just pouring so much love into every little piece. It was like putting together a scrapbook :) So glad you felt all of that goodness within it and thank you for the love and support. Hope you had the best time at Kapama!!
Anyway I can get the names to all the songs you used in the video? I loved the music. Also my brother-in-law and I will be going to Japan in May, 2024, and Kyoto is on our list! This definitely gives me some ideas for our trip. Thanks so much!
Oh gosh! I don't keep a list of the song names I use - I guess I didn't think anybody would like them enough to want them :) They all come from Audiio, a copyright-free site I subscribe to. I'll see what I can do, it can be a little tough for me to track them down again. Sounds like I may need to start keeping lists and adding them to the video descriptions for people :) I am SOOOO happy you're going to Kyoto, you're going to love it. Honestly, I could live there, it's such a beautiful city. P x
Glad you're enjoying your trip and that you're in a much better place in your life :) Meanwhile, I am busy planning my trip to PD - thought I was just going to sit on the beach but now it seems I have a day trip planned everyday!
Hahaha you are gonna have the BEST time! My favourite food spots in PD are: Melaleuca and the Thai, Vietnamese and seafood shops on Grant Street (there’s also a lady who makes cakes, like wedding cakes etc but she sells them by the slice and the chocolate with the sour cream frosting is EVERYTHING) and my fav coffee spot is Sparrow 🥰
@@travelforphoebe Do you know the name of the cake store? I love desserts! Have planned day trips to outer reef, Kuranda and Daintree. Also want to do all the walks/trails around town and try out as many dining places as possible :)
I just can't agree .. Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Kawaramachi Jokyoji is utterly beautiful ... hiking up to Doshisha Cemetery is really fun and completely free of foreign tourists ...
Phoebe, you are so kind, genuine, gorgeous, fun-loving, big-hearted, and optimistic like an angel 😇. I recommend you to visit Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Those two places were the atomic bombings happened during WW2.
Hey darling! I don't normally keep a list of the songs I use, they're from a copyright free music subscription site :) I may have to start keeping note of them though - let me see what I can do. Maybe check back in the video's description and if I can track them all down I'll add a list there for you xxx
I really thought expensive equipment makes a difference 😂 but it doesn’t, im a experienced youtube watcher over a decade of viewing youtube vids i watched the guys same clip the quality was worst maybe if was editing as a short video and stuff led up the scaling, i cant believe the chicks vid is recorded on a cheap smartphone it even produces watchable and awesome visual quality compared to his few thousand dollar equipment
I am Japanese. Japan is considered safe, but that is only in comparison to other countries. There are also dangerous people here. Please remember that there are Japanese individuals with ill intentions who may approach you with a friendly face. Enjoy your trip, but remain cautious.
❤LoVE❤ My dream destination ❤ Not been watching YT as I have been very unwell (🫀😢)but this morning I feel a little bit better and so happy to watch this vlog and see you Happy I’m obsessed with Kyoto and Japan I need to catch up when I feel a bit better Lotta love Sabrina🇫🇷🇬🇧
Hey babe! How are you feeling today? I'm so sorry you've not been feeling well. Sending you lots of love, hugs and good vibes. I hope you feel better soon xx
@@travelforphoebe thank you Phoebe still stuck in bed recovering trying to get back on my feet 👣 Now that is sunny here it sucks to be stuck indoors 😩I’m so fed up Anyway sending love ❤️ Sabrina🇫🇷🇬🇧
fresh Uni is creamy, umami bomb and has an underlying sweetness....when you love it you will really love it like the Durian.. my top 3 sushi with otoro and chutoro 😁
