People who have never lived in Tokyo don't understand just HOW NICE this apartment situation is. The location. The trees?! The kitchen. The widow in the kitchen! The bathtub. The toilet. The natural light in the bedroom. OMG Emma living the dream. I love to see it.
Me: "Man, Emma hasn't posted in a while, sure hope she's ok!" *Gets notification of new video* Me: "Oooh! New video!" *watches video* Me: "...man, Emma is talking to her appliances. I sure hope she's ok!"
“ bench space” hands up to those of us who were there for the retro white chopping board bench space back in the day. If you know, you know. I’m so here for the modern fancyness you deserve it girl! 💕
For a person who hardly knows you, but remembers when you moved into that studio and got a hamster, I am surprisingly happy that you've found yourself a great, spacious, well-appointed apartment that you love. It's so good to see you happy about the space!
As someone who remembers your first apartment in Japan, oh how far you have come 😂 no more only being able to keep 2 things in the fridge and sitting on the ladder to eat.
I have to say I appreciate you including your first attempt at filming this video. It's always nice to see someone teasing out a bit of comedy from a situation where your creative intention isn't working out for whatever reason. And in all seriousness Emma, don't scald yourself and take care of your mental wellbeing, not least for the sake of us fans! :D
Super cute kitchen and appliances. I love the matte black and copper together ❤ you can tell how happy you are in this space! Congratulations on this new exciting chapter.
Normally I watch Japanese kitchen tours and everything is like "ooh, aah, can't have anything like that here :_:" But today is the day. Today I finally have something that does the all same things as a thing in a japanese kitchen. My kettle \o/
you should get one of thoes wooden chopping boards that fits over the sink when its not being used. adds loads of counter space when cooking in a small kitchen.
It's funny when you say they "talk back to you" I picture angsty teenager appliances. Like the microwave switching to emo music and the o-furo lady dragging its virtual feet before changing the temperature "Why do I have to listen to you, you're not even my mom 😣". Meanwhile the kitchen wall just glows its kind and nurturing light knowing it's just a phase.
It is seriously warming my heart to see you thriving. Obviously shit is still super chaotic with the pando, and everyone's kinda loopy right now, but you've had some big wins and it makes me happy to see people happy :D BTW You also look so much like Natasha atm XD
I'm waiting for the album drop of "Emma's Oven Remixes". 🙌 The kitchen is so pretty! Also yes, I feel like life is a neverending self discovering journey. Love your humour and the bits of getting deep in between there! 😄 Glad to see you're having a great time and love your new apartement! ❤
When your Lillies start to open you need to reach in and pluck off those little pollen things. They start out white but when they are fully orange, like you have them here, they are a nightmare, the pollen goes everywhere and stains. Great video, I also loved the apartment tour video too, it’s such a lovely place. I can’t wait to try out that dip. ❤
. . . 😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 I literally had to stop the video when you started talking about your Ascension photo series 😂 bless you Em! I’m dying of laughter and my husband’s looking at me like he regrets our marriage. You’re too cute and hilarious!
Lol the “accession” series has some big Bryan David Gilbert energy. Side bar a couple spoonfuls of that pepper sauce mixed with a spoonful of olive oil would probably be really good on pasta. Add some cheese 👩🍳 💋
Oh, how I've missed your shenanigans!! 😭 Also, yes I believe we are always learning about ourselves. I'll be 27 next month and it seems that the mid-late 20s are a very philosophical time for people who want to do better for themselves. Keep it up, you're doing a great job :3
As an American, I enjoy content like yours and Abroad in Japan to get a “western” view of Japan from native English speakers. But I also try to watch content from Japanese creators to balance that perspective. Some day I hope to experience Japan first hand. When I do I will think of everything I’ve learned and the fun things you’ve shared. Thanks!
Haha! Was watching absently on my side monitor, and the part where she was showing the kettles with the head off the top of the screen, thought I'd accidentally scrolled down, and tried to scroll up to compensate :D Looks like a really nice kitchen!! I'm always amazed at the ingenuity used in smaller homes.
Watching this intro to the kitchen I'm thinking of all the kitchen chats we'll have here. I'm also thinking that I'm going to come back and watch this video whenever it is that you're moving out to reminisce on seeing the kitchen (in operation) for the first time. Also, Fuji Emma. Never forget.
those bird neighbors cute as heck?? also the talkative kitchen appliances... very cute very good. ALSO THE FOOD. lol I loved this video... thanks so much for sharing!
I'm so happy to see this! You are loving your new place, and I can really tell you liked making this video from all the little things you were telling us, like about the kids playing outside and the birds and just telling us what is going on. Moving is overwhelming for sure, but it sounds like it was totally worth it! You'll be all settled in before you know it :)
I'm so happy for you Emma. I've been following you since forever ago and to see your gradual journey through learning more Japanese and upgrading apartments and living your life out there in Japan has just been amazing.
I love your videos, I love your attitude, your disposition, your personality. You seem like an infectiously fun person and I've loved watching your videos from the 8m sq apartment all the way to now.
Love the new kitchen! You definitely should get a small dining table (perhaps a folding one?) that you can also prep food on so that you can get a dryer rack. It'll feel so much more comfortable when cooking!
Hey we also moved up this year and we happen have the same kitchen gadgets! I actually bought the bamuda oven before just because of the musical sounds haha. Also with the fridge, I can’t tell if you’re buying or making ice because the fridge does make it automatically and then drop it in the tray. We found out by surprise when we heard a large falling sound from inside our fridge one day when chilling in the LDK.
For some reason, when you said "the kettle" I heard it as "Caleb" and for the rest of the video I was smiling about the fact you named your kettle Caleb
Just had the longest day of dealing with mean customers at work. I had to stay for 12 hours because so many people called in sick. This is a great video to come home to so I can finally relax. Much love to you, Emma
Talking refrigerators, bathes and ovens are becoming our chat partners. :) The only appliance I wouldn't expect to talk to me is the garbage disposer. ;)
