my first time in japan

Using Bandicam screen recording software, Daniel reviews photos and memories from a formative five-month trip to Japan taken six years earlier, beginning in February 2010 after quitting an office junior job at a father's workplace to meet a new girlfriend in Osaka.

The review covers observations of daily Japanese life, including footpath bicycle traffic, chemical heating pads (kairo), standing reading in bookstores (tachiyomi), dining on kushikatsu at table-integrated deep fryers, and severe digestive issues from drinking CC Lemon.

Daniel recalls personal styling routines, such as lengthy hair styling and wearing baggy trousers due to self-consciousness about skinny legs, as well as studying Korean rather than Japanese while living at a guesthouse.

Experiences across Osaka, Tokyo, Nara, Kyoto, and Kobe included visiting Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea around Valentine's Day, riding the Osaka Ferris wheel, touring the Asahi Beer Factory with guesthouse peers, an awkward drum session at a festival, motion sickness from a spinning coaster at Universal Studios Japan, and a birthday trip marking the final meeting with the girlfriend.

Six years after the trip, Daniel maintains near-daily contact with one Korean friend while having removed most others from Facebook, recommends saving money to stay in Japanese guesthouses, and plans a subsequent video covering a second trip to Japan.
