So what do you think? (also.. Podcast linked below) Shorter answers = More questions answered More detailed answers = Less questions but longer vid...

@christinanieto1104 6 лет назад

Tokyo Lens I think shorter answers for less personal, or non-story inducing questions. You have an engaging style of story telling so I think longer answers are also fun, just not every question needs that. Great video! That park looked lovely!

@stubby4000 6 лет назад

I kind of want to say both, you should do two styles of videos 1. where its lots of questions and short answers and 2 fewer questions but more detailed answers. Not what you were looking for I know but I think both have value.

@ellen_globetrotter3783 6 лет назад

you had a lot of great questions and not the typical ones! very interesting video. Like stubby4000, I also love a mix of questions: a series of short answers + a couple of more deep answers. And can not wait to hear your 2 stories in the podcast!! and thanks for showing us again some hidden gems! and wow, the lush green plants are all over the place, incredibly beautiful!

@avfx 6 лет назад

Longer as you will pick the subjects with more focus .. while focusing upon your answers with more detail. Thanks once again for your efforts, i am sure i speak on everyone's behalf in our gratitude towards you for this.

@zam023 6 лет назад

I think it would depend on how deep is the question. Deeper question I think would require a more detailed answer.

@michaelcherry8952 6 лет назад

I'm loving your random wanderings today. I wish more cities would take a leaf (pun intended) out of Tokyo's book and create tiny little green spaces like you have shown us. It's great to see that a city as crowded as Tokyo is willing to leave the green spaces instead of building on them. Ultimately it makes the city a healthier place to live, both physically and mentally. Keep up the good work!

@TokyoLens 6 лет назад

I agree completely. It is so calming to find all of the green! Thank you so much!

@bethanyd2046 6 лет назад

Deeper answers. Quality over quantity!

@MichHiiELF 6 лет назад

Maybe deeper answers would be good, because we can learn more things about you! 😃

@narijima 6 лет назад

Very interesting video! I liked the length of answers here - I think it's good to have some context to the answer, rather than a few words you don't know the background to. Looking forward to the next video! Like your editing style as well as the content of the videos.

@TokyoLens 6 лет назад

Thank you, Nari~

@BlazerJake 6 лет назад

Watching these Q & A vids are not really about hearing the answers for me, rather i enjoy the way you engage with the camera. It for this reason that i'd prefer deeper answers over quicker ones.

@Gantorin 6 лет назад

I am easy to please. I enjoy the scenery, the stories, and you. So what ever is shared I find all of it very interesting. You are filling my site seeing list on google maps... I am going to get my steps in, in Japan in 2 weeks. I might get lost in the streets for 2 weeks... TOTALLY FINE BY ME! If I see ya on the street I will totally say hello :D

@TokyoLens 6 лет назад

100% please do! So many people came up to me this weekend! It was a spectacular time!

@nepasdenom1467 6 лет назад

I am always so amazed at how well you plan and script your videos. I love the variety of beautiful places you show your viewers. :)

@TokyoLens 6 лет назад

Thanks so much~ I just feel so fortunate that I can show all of this, and so grateful to have you here~

@wynona5941 6 лет назад

Dude you have more energy in this video than i have throughout the whole year

@fairabbigailgrace 6 лет назад

I have to agree with some of the folks that said both styles of answers would be great. You get asked both types of questions and you could do a few of each in your Q&A videos or make separate dedicated Q&A videos for each. Also, I loved the shrine and The Grove of Life. Thanks for sharing those with us!

@Mayawithluv 6 лет назад

Your editing style is so clever and so interesting to watch! I love all the quiet streets you show, I feel like most people don't show that side of Tokyo and it really keeps me engaged watching your videos :)

@TokyoLens 6 лет назад

So glad you enjoyed it so much Thank you!

@bradinvan5670 6 лет назад

Your longer answers are fun, the stories behind them are cool. But a speed round type thing would also be interesting, like those 20/30 question type vids. I vote for both.

@turib6526 6 лет назад

exploring random places in Tokyo would be so fun, I bet there's a million things to find

@TokyoLens 6 лет назад

So much more of it to come~

@armtinyannie9771 6 лет назад

deeper answers! id love to get to know you better😁💜

@tammi6771 6 лет назад

I love how you walk around exploring and find so many beautiful hidden areas. It gives me a different view of Tokyo.

@thesararobertson 6 лет назад

Love your videos Norm! Never fails to amaze me. Thank you for the content and being such a positive, inspiring, bright soul. To answer your question- I think deeper answers because it's more interesting and tells more of a story.

@sofarsogood3969 3 года назад

I found your channel yesterday and spent hours watching.One of the best or maybe the best narrator about living in Japan!Amazing and unique place on the Earth!Planning visit next two years.Domo arigato!

@Serenova 6 лет назад

That looked like some really fun yarn bombing in the opening b-roll! I love how you find all these little hidden spots in Tokyo. Love hearing and seeing you answer all these questions! I like the longer answers that give context to your responses.

@DaynaC05 6 лет назад

I have a friend that always comes to visit me in Montreal from Winnipeg and I'm always amazed at all the tiny places she find to eat or shop. I grew up here so I think we tend to over-look a lot of our surroundings, but for her it's a new exciting place every time she's here and she wants to soak up as much as possible

@inktothedarkness5469 Год назад

I've found your channel a few weeks ago and I've been watching them whenever I have a few minutes to spare ever since. You deliver such a good vibe and just watching you walk around in Japan brightens my day (and teaches me lots I didn't know about). Thank you so much for your amazing videos!

@sunshinecindy570 6 лет назад

Awesome video Norm! I love the way you wonder around showing us new places, while you answered questions. It is such a beautiful place!

@Kaitlynde 3 года назад

Really enjoyed this one and the Q&A wanderings through the side streets. Those Tokyo greenspaces never fail to be absolutely lovely. I really enjoy the narrative aspect to your longer more detailed answers, so I lean more toward those detailed answers with maybe a few short ones thrown in for variety or to keep folks on their toes. As always, thanks for what you do.

@crisk6120 6 лет назад

These are great questions and your answer are so genuine and honest and I love that! Editing/film style is wonderful too

@garethmolloy8179 6 лет назад

Love watching your vids, keep up with the great work.

@bunnybear8941 6 лет назад

Been waiting for this ep for so long!!

@meanfalcon9449 6 лет назад

I thought the pace and length was perfect as it was. Great video! I think it's so cool how you can set something up while filming something earlier in the day to use in a later part of the video. The snap transition?

@saphirsteph 6 лет назад

Thanks for sharing! I personally prefer less questions but more detailed answers (like what you’re doing) rather than short answers to quickly pass as many as possible. I think it’s more genuine, and we can really see your personality shine through 😊

@mihaarink4014 6 лет назад

I would looooove to see more in depth videos where you answer questions! Your stories are always so cool and interesting. I dream of exploring Tokyo one day like you do. Keep up the great work!!

@dawnmacleod2628 6 лет назад

Longer videos please. Love watching how honest you are. 💕

@sunshinegalkw9675 6 лет назад

I started watching this whilst dying my roots..... I was so enthralled that I had to rig up my phone in the shower to finish the Vlog.... Thanks Norm! I’m feeling very close to right now. Lol! I think I would like rapid fire q & a..... have a great day!

@TokyoLens 6 лет назад

lol that is dedication right there! much more to come

@Lee-ml9uw 6 лет назад

I think the way you were answering questions was fine in this video. A short answer is good when necessary, but if a longer one is required, then go for it. Thanks for taking the time to answer everyone's questions!

@loopyfrog 6 лет назад

Yes to more qns! I say go deeper if you want to, but faster answers for those that don't need a long answer.

@uberexplorer 6 лет назад

love your videos. I really enjoy your style of filming and how you provide a unique view on the world. It brings an excitement and a connection for a place so distant from my daily routine.

@nirvanaelenes3540 6 лет назад

Deeper answers!! I love your videos and your edition style!

@kxyr28 6 лет назад

always appreciative whenever you share these secret spots for us to find 🙏

@asakura00 6 лет назад

Always look forward to your videos! Love seeing the quality and the content! Seeing you walk around Tokyo makes me both happy and incredibly nostalgic..💙 I’d love a bit of both, not every question needs a deep answer. But if some questions have a story that explains why did something or why you made a decision, then that will help us get to know you better!

@sweetbailarina92 6 лет назад

Love your vids!! They are so beautiful! I'm so glad to find a youtuber that shows the magical and secret parts of Tokyo :)

@TokyoLens 6 лет назад

a loooootttt more secrets coming!

@lizawithaz9524 6 лет назад

Oh wow, that little park you found with the chairs was so charming!! Also, It was great to hear your responses to the questions we asked. It's nice to get a bit more of a personal insight into what makes you tick. You're an interesting guy :)

@lanettadavis9910 5 лет назад

I just started watching your videos.... After this video I knew you was Nerdy!!!! Nerdy is awesome to me

@PhelpsAllison 6 лет назад

Hey! Loved this video! Contextually the length of the answer should be based on the relationship to the question to you. Long or short we just love learning more about you! Love ya! 💖

@Hells0Depths 6 лет назад

My question got answered! YAY! And the Grove of Life was AMAZING, what a lucky find! I gotta agree with you, it's amazing how much greenery Tokyo has considering how populated and urban it is; when I was there I was always amazed that I could be in the middle of tech center and then turn a corner and be surrounded by trees and temples. It was nice and really helped the city not be so overwhelming with it's population. And I'm all for longer answers, getting to know more about you is always fun and your voice is really soothing! :D

6 лет назад

Another informative video, Norm. Not only for the Q&A, but also the random location finds. Good work. I’d say shorter/rapid fire Q&As for videos, then longer/more narrative Q&As for podcasts.

@ZENMASTERME1 6 лет назад

@4:39 I’m So Glad You Persevered & Stayed With It!! We Are All Better Off Because Of It!! Thanks

@NortherlyK 2 года назад

Oh that transition from Editing Norm to Video Norm was so slick!

@axgh7636 3 года назад

love your videos!!! keep up

@annaslattery3878 6 лет назад

another great video.. more insight into who you are.... and it answered a question I was wondering (loneliness).... I think the length of your answers was just right.... though the teases about other longer, more in depth answers was.. cute and titillating :P Your videos are very soothing for me (between your silky voice and your music choices, I mean...) I definitely look forward to seeing/hearing you talk more about more in depth answers or stories.... Keep up the awesome job! (OH! and I like it when you leave "bloopers" in your videos... shows me that you're a human ;-) )

@BigCheeseThrifts 6 лет назад

Loved the format you did here some quick fire answers with some more detailed ones. Allows for an ebb and flow to the video that satisfies every type of person.

@akasha6536 6 лет назад

I love it when I get to see your more deeper and emotional side, so deep questions please 😄

@MissMugiwara 6 лет назад

I think answers with a story behind it are really nice, like the stories you just left out I personally would really like to listen to them but on the other hand this video had a really nice and easy to follow pace :)

@patrycjawrobel5444 Год назад

This video is perfect - we got to know you a bit more and we discovered some hidden gems in Tokyo ❤

@kellyrowe4075 6 лет назад

Honestly both ways of answering questions would be good it just depends on the question. Your such a master at making your videos flow well that I think you could make both work. Also can’t wait to hear about you getting super lost I remember asking that in the comments awhile back!

@dianechaniewski293 6 лет назад

Great video, thank you! You are inspiring me to live healthier and enjoy life more!! 😄

@wehanvanzyl621 6 лет назад

Great video, awesome settings (would love to be lost in the backstreets of Tokyo) and good Q&A all round. Thoroughly enjoyed it!

@alesealenett 6 лет назад

Thank you so much for sharing 😄💕

@Tokyodrew 6 лет назад

Damn, what a great vlog dude.loved this one. Great style,edit and concept 👍

@zixxymwhah 6 лет назад

This format was perfect for Q&A! :) Thanks for the google maps link, can you leave those in the description more often?

@sammileft587 Год назад

I like these videos, getting to know a little more about you Norm, as if it's just two friends having a conversation

@tamarapavolva1965 6 лет назад

I like the detailed answers :) cause its more deeper and better

@chelseacarpenter2302 6 лет назад

I love how calm you were as you inhaled that spider web 😳😳😳 nope lmao Also I like the more in-depth answers! I like feeling like I'm there with you just chatting. Much love from Arizona ❤️❤️

@TokyoLens 6 лет назад

lol calm on the outside. Died a little on the inside haha

@Tenchy 6 лет назад

This was really interesting, thanks Norm!

@mrstofu2 6 лет назад

Oh wow cool I didn’t know that you had a podcast?! I’m new to the podcast community so I’m always on the lookout for those types of things I have four channels that I’m subscribed too so far including yours 👍

@stvsueoka1 6 лет назад

Geiger counter for the win! love that ... with all the crazy info coming from ll directions, you just decided to figure it out for yourself. So awesome haha

@mediumjohnsilver 6 лет назад

I loved the video. Thank you for answering my computer programming question.

@sasuke1243 Год назад

something about Japan seems so much more walking friendly. in the states you're looked at a bit strange if you're walking down the street rather than driving. or if you're just relaxing at a park.

@Dbzlatino27 6 лет назад

Epic video as always, hoping of see my question for the next Q&A , i could prefer deeper answers above the short ones ;D

@Lyverfive 6 лет назад

"Bagin? Sure I know a Baggins. He's over there, Frodo Baggins." Hahaha dude I had no idea what you meant when you first said "Bagin" so you're not alone on that one.

@Kirikaeru 6 лет назад

Your hidden staircase reminds me of Whisper of the Heart and The Cat Returns by Studio Ghibli--both have staircases and ways the characters get around oddly throughout the films.

@TokyoLens 6 лет назад

Definitely felt like that!

@DanielKimY 6 лет назад

Thank you so much for sharing google maps link! It’s on my list to check out next time I’m in Japan.

@Count-Drekon Год назад

that was a really nice QA thanks for that norm :)

@EnigmaDave 6 лет назад

It was fun watching all the "Have you ever?" questions roll in, and my curiosity grow over these last few weeks.

@colette8022 6 лет назад

I can relate about the language stuff. I'm forgetting my english vocabulary more and more while living in Japan. It's really embarrassing when I'm mid-talking and can't think of the word I want to say.

@gorecrux 6 лет назад

This was fun to watch! I always love just hearing you share random tidbits of yourself, Japan, etc. I have no preference on how you answer... but I did like how you didn't linger too long on a question, so...maybe that is my preference?? 🤔😂😂 Anyway, take care! ♡

@cheriestolze Год назад

Such a cool way to share with us. Hi, Albo!

@zombie_rabbit 6 лет назад

I think the length of the answer depends on the question and whatever story you want to tell. I like all of the hidden places that you find. But then again, I am living vicariously through RU-vid until I can go to Japan in October and January :)

@angelaloveschaos 6 лет назад

I think both is good. If you're going to answer a question that involves a long story, I'd probably want to see it as its own video. Thank you for taking the time to answer all of these questions. It's been nice getting to know you better.

@ASennaFan 6 лет назад

Great episode! I think the length of the answers was good but when a question leads to a longer story I say go for it! It doesn’t have to be all short answers or all in depth answers, a mix of the two would be nice.

@tailstraveladventures79 6 лет назад

Hey Norm, i really enjoyed this Q&A that I actually watched it twice. Seeing Japan (especially Tokyo) through your eyes is truly Awesome! I am sure someone already asked you this before but since you have been in Japan for over a decade, do you see yourself living there in the next 10-20 years? Or would you consider moving back to Canada? I have always wanted to move to Tokyo or Kyoto for a year just to take a break from the hustle and bustle of city life...much harder to do at 39 especially with limited Japanese. I have traveled around Japan 4 times already and i cant wait to explore more. Thanks again for sharing your experiences and giving your viewers another insight to life in Japan.

@akasha6536 6 лет назад

I've been having a seriously bad week 😞 and the video was super funny 😂 so... Thank you 😄 I had a wonderful time laughing 😊

@Obsidian-Nebula 6 лет назад

+Tokyo Lens @7:50 omg I apologise for laughing out loud but somehow it sounded hilarious XD Definitely longer answers with background. Hey man, if You've got more to say just make longer videos. I'm 100% sure people would not only love it but definitely watch it. Reception of over hour long livestreams was amazing! Everybody welcomed them since the very first one. Love Your work

@pauld2810 6 лет назад

I love your stories. So... I vote for deeper, more involved answers.

@TokyoLens 6 лет назад

Thank you, Paul!1

@andrewfilby4401 6 лет назад

Thanks for featuring my comment : ) more stories please!

@brittanytyson4757 6 лет назад

I think I'd prefer deeper answers. It'll give you AND us more content and more Norm content is always preferable! Also I absolutely love what you did with this Q & A with the jumping back and forth and the cuts in music. As always, so much fun!

@weilyan 6 лет назад

As a Montrealer, I have never heard of "bag in" at Tim Horton's. Secondly, getting lost in Tokyo is my favourite way to explore Tokyo which made me know some tricks and shortcut better than my Japanese friends especially around Shinjuku (which is a piece of cake for me when i travel back there). And I have a feeling that I will not regret moving there within the next 2 years as it is my goal.

@ZoeyRock899 6 лет назад

Awesome video! More detailed answers will be great!! :)

@eric1800es Год назад

I think you hit a sweet spot with the answers.

@Lestatsuxme1013 6 лет назад

Totally dropped a google pin on that cool park! I vote deeper level questions for your next Q&A

@IchigoNoShoujo 6 лет назад

I think the length of the answers in this video was perfect! We had a bit of context, but it still felt quick. Oh, and I have another one for you: Have you ever tried Natto and how was it? Because I've recently tried it (again) and... I just can't get used to it. People who can eat it are a mystery to me.

@TokyoLens 6 лет назад

hahaha yea I have tried it I can eat it. But it isnt something I would ever seek out lol

@silkvelvet2616 Год назад

I was half expecting you to get your shamisen out when you sat down in that grove. It looks like a really nice place for that.

@hugop1532 6 лет назад

Hey Norm! I just want to say that i really love your videos! About the Q&A, I think you should decide yourself whether you want to answer the questions fast and short or with a deep answer. It all depends on the question and your opinion/experience that comes with it.

@victoriachristie3335 6 лет назад

You answered one of my questions 😁 love the video

@TokyoLens 6 лет назад

Super happy that I could!

@lilisart 6 лет назад

I think I would prefer a length like in this video or some question also with longer answers:) Really like the hidden spots you find throughout Tokyo:D I like to walk randomly around places as well:D

@TheLuceya 6 лет назад

Yay you answered my questions! AA I am so happy!

@vanessac.1571 6 лет назад

I'm kinda late 🙈 catching up on your videos these last days!!😊❤

@jannickerognes714 6 лет назад

The moments i loved the most when i visited japan, was the moments when i didn`t know where i was! It is so beautiful there :)

@luism0595 6 лет назад

I applaud your effort to be positive! I try to do the same, it's not always something easy to do but your videos help me in that regard so thanks for that! Also I wouldn’t mind deeper answers :)

@MoonlightFangs95 6 лет назад

Thanks for answering my question :)

@TokyoLens 6 лет назад

My pleasure! Thank you so much for asking!

@KhaoticL0ki 3 года назад

I would like to say...that Norm and his beautiful...wonderful channel, inspired me to put my heart into learning japanese, I started learning 2-3 weeks ago, and as of today I am at 20% fluency.. Norm-kun, Arigatou gozaimas...
