Japanese Woman let me come inside her house! [nDlsd1OJMnA]

I'm at Blood Bucket's house. She lives here. She invited me round. Where do I knock? Hello? It's Daniel.

Daniel?

Yes.

Oh my God, Daniel!

Hello.

Hi, hi, hi! Come in, come in, come in. Nice to see you. Nice to see you. You got here, you got here, and you brought me chicken. You brought me chicken. Thank you, chicken, the gourmet of this area. I'll take you to the living room first.

Okay.

This is the entrance. You can have some mints If you like. Okay. Okay.

And here is the cat room.

The cat room says, please, there is a cat at home. Very good English.

Okay.

Okay. There are five cats in here. Enter the dark room. I shall turn the lights on.

Wow, it's really big.

This is the living room and dining room. Is it dark on the screen?

Um, not too dark.

Not too dark. Can you get it?

Yeah.

Yeah. The lights on.

How many are there? Hello.

Okay, this is the welcome wagon.

One, two.

Yeah, this one's Aaron.

Alan.

Aaron. Because he's always alone. And this is Tiger.

Hmm.

Tiger's always welcoming all the guests. He's the first one to come out. Say hi to Daniel. This is a cat cafe. Yeah, there should be 3 more somewhere in this room. One's sitting in the basket. Oh yeah, yeah, she's— he's not feeling very well lately, so he's just— hey, that's the one in the basket is Dean Chan. Ding Chan, he looks like a girl, but he's a boy.

How'd you tell?

Because his face is so like tiny and like feminine, but he's got big balls, which I've taken off. Of course, they're neutered. And maybe there's somebody under the table. Yeah, there is.

Oh yeah, it's 3.

Wow.

1, 2, 3.

Yep, it's Yuki and Komachi, and everything in the kitchen is covered with pointy things.

Oh, to stop the cats.

Yeah, from getting on the counter, because usually you have these in the garden to prevent cats from pooping and peeing on your flowers or daffodils.

Yeah.

But I put them up here because they pee on the counter, and I do not like that. So whenever I do anything, I have to take them all off.

Yeah.

So we should have some tea.

Okay, what kind of tea?

Okay, we have a choice of royal milk tea, as you British people like it, or you can have, um, Japanese green tea with a little dash of jasmine.

I like jasmine.

They do? Okay.

What are these syringes for?

Oh, that's for my drugs.

Oh, wow. No, it's my cat. Okay.

He's diabetic.

He's trying to eat my chicken.

He's gonna eat your chicken. Protect your chicken. Meow meow.

So this is the room I would be staying in if I stayed.

Dozo.

Da da. Wow. Oh, your mum and dad?

Yeah, my dad.

It's not haunted, is it?

No, they passed away very happily.

Okay.

And you have the view of cherry blossoms.

Hmm, is it real?

Yeah. Cherry blossoms and flowers. And the futon is in here. Futon's in here, so you could like move this over and make yourself a nice little comfy bed here.

It would be nice to stream here on that table.

Yeah, you can like put your laptop here.

Yeah.

Ta-da! It works. You are not allowed in this room. No, no cats allowed because they scratch the tatami. The tatami. And also they scratched all of this, so I had to tape it on to make it look like it was there on purpose, sort of. Abstract design.

What are those awards?

Those awards are my dad's. He used to play golf.

Wow.

He used to get lots of hole-in-ones. And there is the vacuum cleaner.

Yeah, vacuum cleaner.

Which I will be coming in every morning to grab because I have to vacuum every day or else Or else, or else we'd be covering hairs.

What about upstairs? Can we see upstairs?

We shall go through this way. There we go.

Oh, we came in from that way.

Yeah, we can go this way. This is the bathroom. You can see bathroom, shower, bath in there.

Where's the bathtub?

It's right there, but bathtub, there's a story to it. You cannot use the bathtub.

Why not?

You can only use the shower.

Why? It's so big.

There's a story and I'll have to tell you about it.

Is it a secret?

It's not a secret, it's just very dirty and it's dirty for a reason.

Well, it's a big bathtub though for Japan.

Yeah, it's a big bathtub. It's a shame. Well, long story short, I used to have turtles. Oh. And they scraped up the bottom of the bathtub, so it started to mold from there.

And, um, okay, maybe not a good bath.

Not a good bath. This is the toilet, as you can see. Toilette.

Ta-da!

Nice and cozy. Nice and cozy toilet. You have a mirror to fix yourself up before you leave.

I like the wood.

It's plastic.

Oh, fake wood. Oh yeah, it's foam.

Yeah, it's foam. I did it myself, DIY.

I thought it was real. What's this little door here?

It's got, um, like cleaners and stuff. And toilet paper and stuff like that.

It's like Harry Potter's bedroom.

Yes. And here we go upstairs.

Okay.

Up the stairs we go.

Down.

Let me get this off. Okay, turn the lights on.

Should I go first?

Yeah, you go first. You explore.

Explore.

There you go.

Spooky. These paintings with the animal heads. Spooky, spooky, spooky.

They're all my ancestors. The auntie who passed away is a cat. Going upstairs. Oh no, no, no, no. And we come to the master bedroom.

This one?

Right here where the cat lives.

What are those?

These are cat scratchers.

Oh, oh, there's another one. Oh, there's Mickey.

Whoa, okay, she was— she is very, very timid. She's the mother of the cats downstairs.

Okay.

And this is where my parents used to stay, but it's her room now. Yeah, so there's cat hairs everywhere.

What's the view like?

It's just a veranda.

Still raining.

Yeah, you can just see houses, not much of a view. There's a walk-in closet. It's got a lot of junk inside. And here is my prized toilet that I worked on quite a bit.

Ta-da! Wow, you did the tiles?

I did.

Are these real tiles?

30 centimeter by 30 centimeter tile plates. And all this is plastic. Oh yeah, it's the special toilet suite. And here we have— this is the second floor toilet place. Toilet. This is a closet that's all messed up inside. And in here we have the Harry Potter— see, it's all plastic. Isn't that funny?

Yeah.

This is the mess, okay? I warned you.

Okay.

It's messy. It's my studio where I work.

Ah, you make, uh, dolls? I make things.

I make, uh, these.

Mm-hmm.

I make little things in here. Um, it's the creepy room. It's got my cabinet of curiosities right there, which has bones and, um, all sorts of stuff. This is stuff that I make. Weird.

What is it? A bug? A beetle?

It's a beetle that has a little doll head. I use antique doll heads and, um, insects and stuff.

Where'd you get the insects from?

I get them from Etsy.

Oh, you don't catch them?

No, I don't catch them. I don't kill. I do not kill.

Okay.

Very ethical places that I get them from. All my books and some of my work. Spook room.

What are you making now?

Right now I'm thinking, trying to figure this out. I'm trying to figure out what to do with this. Maybe, you know, I've got some more frames, so I might paint it and do a little collage on it, perhaps, or whatever, wherever it takes me. And I also paint masks like that kitsune. You know those kitsune masks, the Japanese ones?

I think I've seen it before.

Yeah, yeah, just paint different stuff on it. Different stuff on it. And let's see, we should go on to my room. Please, if this part of me— let's go ahead. This is the curry bucket bedroom. There we go.

Wow.

And all my stuff is on the wall because there's nowhere else to put it. And the empty spaces are the ones that were already sold. I sell them online.

Is that you?

Which one?

The one in the wedding dress.

That's my sister.

Ah.

That's my sister. She's the only one who got married. This with the mohawk is me. That's me like when I was like thirty or something, late twenties. Stuff is just lots of stuff.

Hmm, nice.

Hard.

I'm not sure what to say.

Don't worry, you're reacting very healthily. That's very, very normal way to react. I mean, I could show you some really weird stuff, but who's that? What? That's me up here.

Who's that?

And this is my friend. Ah, you're like pretending to be学生.

What kind of weird stuff?

Like, um, taxidermy stuff. Like dead things.

Maybe not.
