1st day in JAPAN

Testing, testing,

testing, testing,

testing, testing, testing, testing,

testing, testing. Testing, testing,

testing,

testing.

Testing, testing,

testing. Is it working?

It took me ages to fix it.

Testing. Is it working? It took

me ages to fix it. Okay, it's working.

Okay, this So

I just got to Japan about 8 hours ago.

Add text-to-speech. I'm pretty sure

text-to-speech is on. Let me do a test.

Oh, it's test.

This is a test Super Chat alert for $90.

Wow, $90! Holy crap,

thanks Hiding in My Room.

I thought there was 17 days to go. Uh,

no, that was just the Super Chat goal

which I randomly entered the date for so

people wouldn't dox my flight. I'm not

going to say the exact date that I'm

coming to Japan, otherwise someone's gonna

like phone up the airport saying I've got

a bomb or something.

I'm so tired. I've been walking around

outside for about 7 hours and I checked

into the hotel about 2 hours ago. Been

trying to get the stream to work. It's

been such a fiddle.

So I've had to do it this way. Hopefully

it's good enough for you guys.

Get the stream to work. It's been so— so

usually I stream using OBS on my laptop

and I link my phone to it, so I use this

as my webcam, but I couldn't do it because

The hotel Wi-Fi, I don't know, it's like

restricted. And then when I tried to do it

on my data, it used up so much data and

I've only got 50 gigabytes. I bought a 50

gigabyte SIM card and it costs about £25,

and it used like nearly half a gigabyte

just by doing it for a few minutes. So I

can't really do that, otherwise it's going

to burn through my gigabytes pretty

quickly. So I'm

using Prism Live. Hopefully that's good

The problem with Prism Live is it has zero

stabilization. Watch when I pick up the

camera. Look at the edges. You can see

every little micro wobble.

I don't know how people get, uh, smooth

stable streams. I can't get it. Mine are

always really shaky.

There's no stabilization options on Prism

Live. I don't get it.

Make a vlog, go outside, make a vlog of

what, the traffic? As if you guys are

gonna watch that. I've been researching

analytical data of you guys for like 7

years. And I know what you watch and what

you don't watch. And no one watches when I

walk around outside. I've got the

analytics to prove it. You guys

just want to see me sit here and talk for

hours and hours, which is fine by me,

but I'm not going outside to film stuff

because you guys don't care.

How come no on-screen chat? It should be

on. Maybe it's just slow.

I don't know why my last stream upload got

such few views. It doesn't even have 1,000

views. I think it's because I uploaded it

at the same time as my room tour video,

and then people clicked on that and then

forgot to click on the stream upload.

Kind of weird.

Oh, there's the on-screen chat. It just

took a while, so I might have to do that

again. I don't know what I'm gonna do

because my streams get demonetized,

and if I re-upload the stream, it gets way

less views. So maybe I just clip the

stream on points of interest and post it

as a video. So little people clicked

on the last stream.

Can you see the on-screen chat?

Should I make it bigger?

Make it bigger.

Okay, I think everything's good. The

internet here is pretty good, it's just

annoying because I can't use iVCam.

iVCam, you need to have the phone and the

laptop on the same internet connection,

but it seems like they close ports

on the router so I can't do it.

This is a hotel. Apple Hotel. Yeah,

it's funny because there's 2 Apple Hotels

in this area. I went to the wrong one and

then I left, and as I was standing at the

entrance, you'll never guess what

happened. This random Asian guy from

Australia comes up to me and he's like,

are you Daniel Lord? So weird.

He said he knows me. I said, how do you

know me? I said— he said, I used to watch

your YouTube channel.

I can tell he doesn't watch it anymore

because I told him I just arrived in Japan

today and he said, oh cool, where did you

come from? So I've been in Thailand for

nearly 2 years and he doesn't know. So

obviously he doesn't watch anymore. He

probably just watched a couple of videos

like 5 years ago. But that's so strange.

He recognized me after all this time.

And the first day I was just standing

outside the hotel getting recognized.

It's crazy. Good thing it didn't happen

when I was with my girlfriend because then

she would have found out who I am. Some

guy just comes up to me and says, are you

Daniel Lord? I used to be so stressed out

before my girlfriend found out about my

channel of people coming up to me and

recognizing me. I reckon

like 80% of the people stopped watching

when I left Japan and got divorced. No one

seems to know. Most people, whenever they

see me in real life, they don't even know

what's happened the last 3, 4 years or

something. That's why my

channel died, because I got divorced

and left Japan. If the only thing that

made people watch the channel was the

marriage and being in Japan, and then

those 2 things go away, then obviously

they're going to leave, aren't they?

Pretty bad decision for me. Yeah,

yeah, it's pretty funny. He took a photo.

He asked if he could take a photo of us,

so he took it. I don't know where he's

gonna post it. Maybe post on the

subreddit. No, he was really nice.

Everyone who recognizes me, they're always

really friendly, which is funny because

usually people hate me on the internet. I

think they're just surprised to see me. I

thought I aged too much for people to

recognize me, but I guess people still

recognize me. I guess

I'm pretty recognizable then.

No, I've definitely aged. My face

shape is kind of different.

Will you go outside and stream? I don't

want— it is freezing cold out there. Oh my

God, I got off the plane and instantly I

was like, oh, it's freezing, it's like 10

degrees. And then I went walking around

outside earlier before checking in and I

was just freezing. I put on this shirt, I

put on this woody thick thing, I got a

shirt inside, I got this, and I was

wearing my 2 hoodies and I was still

freezing. My legs were cold. I need to

wear 2 pairs of trousers. I went to

Uniqlo, but all the clothes there are

rubbish. Oh, it's so cold.

It's like 10 degrees and I'm freezing cold

out there. I was walking around like this

the whole time. I went to Hakata

Station. I went to Yodobashi Camera,

bought a SIM card. I found this really

good battery bank. It's like 140 watts.

You plug it into the phone and it pops up

with this turquoise. Usually when you

charge your phone, a little green circle

comes up, but this time a turquoise circle

came up and it said super fast charging,

takes 40 minutes to charge. But the thing

costs like £100, I think. I might get it

if I'm gonna stream outside. I definitely

need a battery bank, and that's pretty

good. So powerful, 140-watt charger.

Damn, it's better than my laptop charger,

but it's pretty expensive. So I bought the

SIM card I bought a 50GB SIM card. The

eSIM I got off Revolut didn't even work.

I got off the plane, enabled eSIM, and it

just crashed my phone. And then I reset

it, enabled it again, and then it wasn't

even picking up internet. So that was a

complete waste of time. Don't get an eSIM,

just go to Yodobashi Camera, get a prepaid

SIM card. I got the ¥5,000 one

for 50GB. 30-day use.

I was using like 200 gigabytes a month

back in Thailand because of iVCam linking

my phone to my laptop.

So if I'm gonna use 200 gigabytes a month,

that would be 20,000, like £100 a month.

I can't use that much.

What phone are you using to stream? I use

a Flip 4Z. No one knows how to make a

stream stable for some reason. I saw Sam

Pepper on Kick and his phone is super

stable and he's not using a gimbal. I

don't know how he has such stable stream,

but mine looks like this. Look at my

stream. I'm trying to be as still as I

can. You can see all the tremors.

I don't know how he has such stable But

no one seems to know how to fix it because

I guess no streamers here. I have

no idea what apps are they using.

I saw Ice is in some Europe country

streaming on the Vision Pro. It looks

really good, really stable, and good

graphics— I mean, good cameras. And the

good thing is no one knows he's streaming

because usually you get in trouble.

People don't like being pointed with the

camera, but they don't even know he's

streaming because it's just like a funny

VR headset, which is funny.

So today I arrived in Japan at 8 AM in the

morning, and then it was

kind of annoying getting out of the

airport. They kept asking me why I'm here.

I went to immigration and then they were

like, why are you here? How long are you

staying? I said 90 days, and it was like

raising a red flag when I said 90 days.

And then they asked me why I was here. I

said traveling. What else do you think I'm

here for? Smuggling drugs? Stupid

question. I should say, oh, I'm here to do

organized crime and smuggle weed. What do

you think I'm here for? Traveling, of

course. What a stupid question. Well, why

even ask it though? Because I can just say

anything and they're not going to ask for

proof. Wasting my time. I think it's

because I said I'm here for 90 days, so

they were kind of suspicious why I'm here

for such a long time. But why do you let

people stay for 90 days? And then you're

going to be suspicious when they come and

stay for 90 days. Stupid people.

I think before I usually just bought a

return ticket and then I ditched the

return ticket and flew somewhere else.

And then I always just pretended that I'm

here for 2 weeks so that never raised any

red flags. And then I cleared immigration

and then I went to customs and then they

searched my bag and asked me the same

question, why am I here? Where am I

staying? Where do I live? I said I was

in Thailand for one year. And then they

said, oh, you live in Thailand? I said,

no, I live in the UK. And then they asked

me why I'm here. And then they took all my

stuff out of my stupid bag, swabbed it

with a little cloth.

Annoying. And then on the plane,

I sat next to a woman with a very young

child, and the child kept going, oppai

oppai, which means titty in Japanese. And

then I could hear sucking noises. I didn't

look because I didn't want to seem like a

pevo, so I had my hood down because I was

trying to sleep. And all I could hear was

like, oppai oppai. It's kind of weird.

I don't know if she actually got her tit

out on the plane because I could hear

sucking, or maybe she had a bottle with a

sucker on it. It was so funny that

kids say oppai because it's like,

to me it's like a sexual word because

I watch too much JAF.

Plane was okay, I guess. Thank God I

didn't need to pee, otherwise I would have

had to get that woman to get up with her

kid. And the kid didn't cry, which is

good. He just fell asleep.

So weird being back in Japan. It feels

like a— like this Fukuoka city is so

boring. I walked around for like 7 hours.

It's the most boring, stale, sterile,

dull city I've ever been to. It's like an

AI-generated city with bots in it.

There's like no liveliness, no character,

no chaos. All the traffic is like robot.

Robotic traffic, super slow,

super organized. No one's overtaking, no

one's speeding, no one's putting down the

gas, no one's emergency braking. It's like

super AI robotic driving.

No motorbikes. I saw one motorbike, it was

the policeman and the postman. No one

drives motorbikes here. It's so quiet.

And half the cars on the road are like

hybrid EVs. Or you— I was standing next to

the big highway and it was just like And

dead silence because no one talks. It's so

weird coming from Bangkok where everyone's

crazy in Bangkok and it's so loud.

There's motorbikes everywhere and it's

chaos and there's taxis. Everyone's

cutting each other off and everyone's

overtaking and swerving and there's people

everywhere. God, it's so different.

I heard Fukuoka got the prettiest

drawings. Yeah, I heard that as well. And

I swear to God, I saw so many cute girls.

They're really cute, like really pale

skin. And they all— they're not all, but

so many of them are wearing skirts and

knee-high socks and boots even though it's

really cold. And then you can see like

they're really super pale legs, and

they're pretty attractive, a lot of the

girls here. I don't remember being in

Osaka and seeing so many attractive girls.

Maybe that Rumor is true.

Or maybe I'm just used to seeing Thai

women. Everyone's so pale here.

I'm so used to brown Thai women. It's

weird seeing everyone so pale.

Everyone looks like vampires here.

Are you gonna vlog? Nah, I can't be

bothered. No one watches anyway.

I don't know what to vlog. What, just

walking around the street saying, oh,

this is boring, oh, look at all the hot

girls, oh, it's cold? And then I

got on the train and I went to Ohori Park,

and there were so many people walking

their little stupid dogs, and all the dogs

were flipping out and barking at everyone

and each other. There were these massive

eagles flying around as well, just like a

group of big eagles. Brown hooked

beak, very big. I don't know what they

were, kind of weird. They just fly around.

I came to Fukuoka before, back in 2014,

10 years ago, with chlamydia girlfriend.

We just came here once for a trip and we

went to Canal City. I went there as well

today. It's exactly how I remembered it,

nothing has changed. And they have live

music playing at the bottom floor and

everyone just looks down at the music.

And I went to Ohori Park, just walked

around. I do remember the swan pedal

boats, but it was so damn cold I just

walked through it and came back on the

train. I accidentally walked all the way

back to the airport because I went from

the airport to Hakata Station, which I

thought was where my APA Hotel is. I go to

APA Hotel and they say this is the wrong

APA Hotel, so I walk to the other APA

Hotel, 20 minutes walk. I accidentally

walk the other way passed our hotel

because I was too early to check in. I

walked all the way back to the airport and

wondered why there's nothing here. And

then I walked back to the shopping area

and I thought, oh, this is where all the

liveliness is. Still, it's pretty dead.

This town and city is so dead. I don't

know why you'd want to live here. There's

like nothing here. There's big shopping

train station area, there's Ohori Park,

which is like a big lake park, and then

there's just apartment buildings and big

buildings and a river. It's so boring.

Never been such a boring city before.

Even Oita has a bit of character. This is

so clean and like no character.

For this new arc, I suggest working for a

love hotel. Oh wow, sounds like an insane

plot for a lot of content. Think about it,

Daniel. What is an AED?

£25. Wow, thanks very much.

No, I can't get a job. I don't have a work

visa. Maybe go and stay in a love hotel,

do a stream there.

I'm thinking we just go random places and

stream in it, like a love hotel, net cafe,

capsule hotel, maybe a maid cafe. I need

to get my stream setup sorted. I think the

SIM card's pretty good. I haven't done— I

mean, I did— I don't know,

I tried to do a test stream with Larix

Broadcast and it was just lagging, so I

switched it to Prism Studio, but then it's

going to be all shaky like this and I

don't know how to fix it.

I'm so tired. Yesterday me and my

girlfriend spent the whole day doing

stuff. So she spent the morning tidying up

the apartment and packing her stuff, and

then we went swimming in the afternoon.

Had a really nice swim. So nice to have a

swim. And then we— I mean, then we had

a shower, and then we went to the shopping

center and went to Sushilo and had sushi

and walked around. Came back at like 7 or

8 went to— I mean, had a rest for like an

hour just to like cuddle, say bye-bye.

And then she took me to the airport around

9. We got there at 10, sat around until

11, then said goodbye. I nearly cried.

It's so sad. The worst thing when you say

goodbye to someone is when you wave

bye-bye, you go through the security, and

then you're like walking off, and then

they walk off, and then you see them walk

off, and then they get smaller and smaller

and smaller, and then they disappear. And

just watching them get smaller and smaller

and smaller is heartbreaking. Oh, it

really got me going.

You can feel like the emotional attachment

being severed because we're separating

now. So sad. I had to like take deep

breaths like this.

Oh, it was so tough to not cry. I didn't

want to cry in the airport. Face started

going a bit red, my eyes got a bit watery,

but you know, I kept a stiff upper lip

like my dad used to say.

Got— because you know, after you say

goodbye, you've got stuff to do. You can't

just sit there moping. You've got to get

to security, you've got to get stuff out,

you've got to find your gate.

And then I got on the plane, 1 AM. And

then arrived this morning, 8 AM, and then

I was waiting until 3 PM to check in. So I

was outside for like 7 hours just walking

around. I got McDonald's McMuffin. I can't

believe how cheap everything is here. I

got a sausage egg McMuffin and a coffee

for ¥390. Do you know how much that is?

That's like $1.50. I think it was £2

or like 90 baht. I swear in Thailand it

would have cost more. And then I got the

train. I didn't add up my expenses yet. I

think I spent like ¥1,000 so far getting

the trains. Got a train from Fukuoka

Airport to Hakata, and then Hakata to

Roppongi or something, and then back to

Hakata to go to the hotel.

I still had ¥2,000 on my Suica card, my

Icoca card, which is pretty good from last

year. Oh, thanks, Blood Bucket. Thanks for

welcoming. Don't know why the text speech

is so slow. Yeah, I'm finally here.

Ah, the women here are so attractive.

What is wrong with this place?

But I look, I look terrible. My hair,

it's all flattened because I have my hood

up. I haven't even had a shower yet. I

haven't had a shower in nearly 15 hours.

I haven't brushed my teeth either, but

I've got a bathtub and I have a nice— I

forgot to buy bath salts. Oh wow, just

popped in to say welcome to Japan, Danny.

Welcome to you too. Welcome to Fukuoka.

You want vlogs? What of the boring,

silent streets of nothing happening? I

keep staring at the traffic and it keeps

blowing my mind how quiet it is after

being in Thailand for nearly 2 years where

the traffic is deafening. If you go for a

walk in Bangkok by the roads and

you're talking to someone next to you,

you literally have to yell to be able to

get them to hear you. Where do you want to

go? Oh yeah, let's go get sushi. That's

how you go. You go yell. But here is dead

silent. No motorbikes, no noisy buses,

no black fumes coming out of pickup

trucks. It's crazy the difference between

Thailand and Japan. I'm just like culture

shocked to hell right now.

I kind of miss Thailand though. It's— I

miss the heat. It's freezing cold outside.

I don't want to go out. I walked around

during the day and it was cold, even with

the sun out and no clouds. The sky was

blue and the sun was strong, but when the

wind blows, so cold. And now the sun's

going down. I'm not going outside. I

cranked my heating up to 30 degrees. It

won't go any higher. I'm so cold. I need

to buy something like a jacket.

I guess you haven't seen ice streaming on

the Vision Pro. I saw a couple. Minutes

when I was at the airport. It looked

pretty good. I like the way he's got the

floating chat so he doesn't need to hold

his phone anymore. That's a good idea

because having to hold your phone to read

chat is really annoying when you're

streaming. So it's pretty cool to just

have it floating in your vision.

I want to watch it, but you know, I've got

to do my own stream. Busy.

Japan yen is the lowest right now. Yeah,

basically All my money is worth 40% more

now than 2019. So cheap.

Yeah, no one seems to know that he's

streaming because he's just wearing a

headset. No one knows. I mean, even I

didn't know. I said, wouldn't it be cool

if you could use the cameras on the Vision

Pro to stream? But I don't know how you do

it. What apps you use? How would you even

stream on the Vision Pro? I don't know.

I'm guessing he has some coder friend that

made a custom-made app, and then he

livestreams the footage to his computer

back home in Texas, and then it streams to

Kick. I think the footage being sent to

his home computer— because he trusts

someone to go into his home and manage

stuff like that. I can't imagine trusting

anyone to just come into my house when I'm

not there. And have access to all my

streaming accounts and stuff.

Is he going back to Thailand or UK after

this? I'm going back to UK for my sister's

wedding. I really I miss Thailand.

I don't know why. I can't believe I'm

saying this, but I'm not super happy to be

back in Japan. I think it's going to take

a while to readjust, but I feel kind of

bored. Just walking around all day.

Didn't know what to do.

I'm going to be here for 90 days, so I

don't know what I'm going to do. Got to

find something to do, don't I?

Who's played Dragon's Dogma 2? Is coming

out in about 10 days, so I think I'm just

going to take it easy and not bother

making any content until then, then just

play that game in the guest house, spam

out video game stuff. It's the best chance

I have to make money.

Are you going to vlog at all in Japan? I

don't know, I'd rather just

livestream it. To be honest,

I can't wait to have a bath. I took my

socks off and my toes— the toe tips

have become square-shaped from being in my

shoe for so long. I took my shoes off on

the plane for the first time ever and it

felt so good. I used to hate it when

people take their shoes off and their

smelly feet come out, but now I finally

realize it's so comfy to take your shoes

off on the plane. I've changed

so much from how I used to fly. I used to

fly really weirdly, like I would refuse to

eat and drink because I was scared of

needing a toilet and disturbing people. I

wouldn't even sleep because I'd be so

nervous. Oh wow, thanks Nicholas.

Call Chihiro. Prank call her on Facebook.

I wonder if she knows I'm here.

How much is the hotel? It was £60 for 2

nights, so £30 a night. I got

some genius discount. Sounds like

you need bigger shoes, but I got the same

size as my old shoes, 7.5. Oh no, I need

toilet. This room's so small I can't even

Get out of the chair.

Call Chihiro. It could be just like the

old days.

Oh, this room's so tiny.

Oh wow, thanks for the donut.

Nicholas, very generous.

Yeah, it'd be fun if Chihiro wasn't such

a— and was like a bit loosened up

and have some fun. Like, oh yeah, let's do

reunion, see if the viewers come back.

Imagine if the viewers do come back.

Maybe it's too late, the algorithm has

just buried my channel now.

It would be so funny if the channel's not

actually dead, but it's just because I

haven't made the right content for the

viewers to stick around. But if I did,

then they'd come back.

Don't know. My girlfriend would be mad if

I met Chiharu, probably. She doesn't

really want me to meet Blood Bucket. I

said, don't worry, Blood Bucket's, uh,

she's into women and she's much

older. So don't have to worry, it's not

like we're gonna do it.

We have a platonic relationship,

as if my girlfriend understands that.

Does she still have the SD card? I wonder

if she does have it. She said she's going

to keep hold on to it in case I do

anything like leak our Serial

tapes. Did you know on the TV here they've

got JAV preloaded onto it? Oh God,

saved me some money. That's why the stream

started so late, I was busy, guys. God,

they had like whole selection of JAV,

but I hate how it's censored. Stupid

pixelation.

Why would she do that? You ruined years of

her life. Because it is in the past and

we're gonna die soon, so just have some

fun. And I'm pretty sure being a famous

YouTuber was the most fun she's ever had

in her life as well. Come on, nothing

beats being famous on YouTube. You

wouldn't understand because you never

tried it, but me and Chihiro were super

famous. Brought in millions of views every

It would be fun to relive it.

What would the title be? I tracked

down my ex-wife or something silly. Your

hotel was already posted on the subreddit.

Oh no, since I already showed

it on my Discord, it's not like they

tracked it down. I literally said what

hotel I'm in. I'm in Appa Hotel.

I arrived way too early. I asked if I

could early check in. He said you gotta

pay ¥3,000. To check in early, so I just

went for a walk around the block. I

accidentally walked back to the airport.

The airport's so near, I can literally

walk to the airport within 20 minutes, I

think. I've got to go back to the airport

in 2 days because I'm flying out of this

boring place. Thank God I didn't book

longer here. I only booked 2 nights in

Fukuoka. Imagine being in Fukuoka for

months. Oh my God. Osaka is so much

better. Osaka's got grittiness

and character. Fukuoka is just like

sterilized AI-generated

city. I can't believe people actually live

here.

Why did you come here then? Well, I was

going to do a bike trip. That was the,

the initial plan was I was going to arrive

in Fukuoka, buy a bike, and then Cycle to

Osaka, but then it changed my mind. Thank

God I changed my mind. It's so damn cold,

and I'm so tired. There's no way I could

just bought a bike and then cycled off to

Kitakyushu. I was gonna use Fukuoka

as my landing spot and then bike to Osaka.

What a stupid idea. Yeah, it would have

taken like a month because it's about 700

kilometers away. I would have to do 50

kilometers a day to get there in a couple

weeks. It would have been so boring, and

my stream would have kept effing, and the

footage would be boring, just me cycling.

Yeah, good thing I decided not to do that.

I thought I did book the Apple Hotel in

the city center. I put the one in between

the city center and the airport.

Yeah, good thing I changed my mind because

that bike would have cost probably like

£1,000 or more.

What happened to your MacBook? I sold it.

I mean, I returned it because I need video

games. I make too much money from video

games to not be able to play video games.

Made like $400 playing Helldivers 2,

and then Dragon's Dogma 2 is coming out.

I want to use the laptop to stream, but I

can't set it up on hotel Wi-Fi. I need

to buy a webcam. Ah, damn it. Oh, I might

go shopping for a webcam actually. The

only reason I want to stream off my laptop

is because I don't know,

you guys don't mind this way of streaming,

do you? I like OBS because I

can set the webcam or my phone here and

then plug my mic in. I haven't even

plugged the mic in. The built-in webcam

sucks and I can't get a good angle. It's

just like an ugly upshot. I want to put

the camera here so you get like a nice

dynamic view of me. So maybe I get

like a nice webcam with wide angle, then

that would erase the problem of hotel

Wi-Fi.

Oh, shut up, Just Brianna. I'm not

stalking anyone. I'm in the other side of

the country.

I don't think people mind, really.

I just wanted to have a good-looking

stream for my viewers.

Ah, I need toilet again. I got bowel

movement, but it's like blocked up.

Oh, damn it.

Yeah.

I'm a bit disappointed the toy Toilet

doesn't have a heated seat. It's so nice,

the heated seats here when it's cold. Why

doesn't it have a heated seat? Not very

good.

Okay, how do I—

I would do an IRL stream tomorrow if I can

figure out a good setup.

I'll do a hotel room tour in a minute.

I just think it's going to be so shaky and

I might have connection problems. I think

Larix Broadcaster would be better because

that has stabilization. I don't know why

Prism Studio doesn't.

You need a haircut. Why? It's pretty

short. It's pretty short already. What do

you mean? It's just looking kind of

weird because I haven't washed it for

nearly a whole day. I had a swim in the

Thai apartment, and obviously a swimming

pool has chlorine in it, and I rubbed my

armpits. Usually my armpits stink, but

then I came out of the swimming pool and

they smelt like nothing. Chlorine really

does kill bacteria. I smelt so good. I

mean, I kind of smelled like chlorine,

but at least I didn't smell like B.O. I

smell like BO now though. Actually, I

still smell pretty good. Chlorine's pretty

damn good. They should sell it for like

shower use.

Okay, I'm gonna ban Just Brianna. You're

just being a stupid hide user.

Telling people to report me to the police

for what? Idiot.

What about GoPro? Yeah, I have streamed

with the GoPro before in Thailand.

I mean, I could try it. It just

seemed to keep disconnecting from the app.

So I would use the app, then you got to

connect the GoPro to the app. I remember—

oh yeah, I used the GoPro when I sniped

Ice, and then when he took me to the

hotel, the GoPro just cut itself off for

some reason and it stopped streaming. So I

had to switch to my phone. I got annoyed

because I lost a bunch of footage.

Could try the GoPro. Oh wow,

thanks Blood Bucket. Yeah, Brianna, I

thought first you're just trying to be

funny, but now you're just being annoying,

so unfortunately had to ban you.

Don't mind if people are joking about,

but you got to be funny, not just being

a dick.

What part of Japan are you in? I'm in

Fukuoka. It is pretty different to Osaka.

Osaka seems way more lively.

Osaka's got more crazy interesting—

Brianna, go play with yourself. Yeah,

Brianna, go fuck yourself. Ha,

you can't reply cuz you're banned. Haha.

Are you gonna stay with your girlfriend or

break up when she goes to America? Yeah,

we're still together.

If Chihiro agrees to meeting, it's not

illegal. What are you talking about?

I'm not gonna message her.

I'm not that weird.

Why do you think? I mean, I'd only want to

meet her to get views,

but she has to agree to it.

Otherwise, how would I do it? I don't know

where she is. Wait out? I can't wait

outside her house. I mean, I could, but I

She's all like, I've moved on, I'm not

interested anymore, I want peace in my

life.

Peace is boring.

Confronting my ex-wife with my Japanese

mother.

I said to my girlfriend, I don't want to

break up. If you want to see me, come to

the UK. It's down to you. Just get a visa

and come. My mum's gonna be out. She's

gonna be taking my relatives traveling.

We'll have the house to ourselves.

I don't know why she, she can't seem to

get a visa for the UK, but she can get one

for the US.

Why is it so difficult? I think she needs

like money in her bank account that she

doesn't have.

How come she has money to go to America

but not to get a UK visa? That's what I

don't understand. She always seems like

she has no money, but then she has money

to do certain things like buy a house.

Very confusing. I think

she moved out of the apartment today. She

drove back to her parents' place to drop

off stuff, and then they're going to drive

her back to the airport, which is like a

5-hour drive, and then drop her off, and

then they're going to drive back to where

they live. So it's like drive up 4 hours,

drive down 5 hours, drive back up 4 hours.

Seems kind of silly.

She wants to learn English, but you don't

have to go to America to learn English.

Just learn it in Bangkok. My mum has

been living in the UK for 30 years. Her

English isn't amazing, is it?

I passed level 2 JLPT before I even went

to Japan. Kind of.

I mean, I went to Japan once. Before

passing it.

She said she's going to Washington, D.C.

Isn't that the most expensive state?

Wonder if my stream's demonetized.

Oh, it's green. The last stream was green

as well, but then I ended it and it went

yellow. I don't really know why.

So I don't really know what to do in

Japan. I'm just like floating

around aimlessly, going from hotel to

hotel doing nothing. I need to create some

structure, I think. What am I going to do

I got no food. I just got these crisps. I

can't be bothered to get any food. Too

Tomorrow I want to make some Helldivers

videos. And then maybe IRL stream in

the evening, or I don't know,

maybe try test out streaming

on different apps to see if I can get a

better stream setup and buy the battery

bank. Maybe, I don't

know, what should I do? I'm bothered to do

I'm going to the guest house at the end of

Why did you come to Japan? I don't know.

Maybe I should have just gone home. Why am

I here? Just to suffer.

I did go out. I've been outside all day

for 8 hours. I've been outside since 8 AM

until 3 PM. I already walked around

everywhere. I think I've already seen

everything in Fukuoka.

Yeah, it's really sunny here, but it's

really cold. Do I have these books

here?

What does it say? Strong destiny.

Kyung. She— this woman,

she's the CEO of Apple Hotel,

but I heard she's weird. Like, she's a

history revisionist and she's like

right-wing nationalist or something,

and a feminist.

So did she write this book? What's her

name? Moto Tani Biko

Emiko. I hate name kanji.

I think it's Moto Tani Emiko.

Am I wrong? What's that one? I've never

seen that before. I'm thinking Emiko.

Well, I think that's Miko. What's the

first one? I don't know how to read

people's names. And Japanese books

start— page 1 starts from the back of the

book. So in— usually in the West, in

English, you start like this, don't you?

Like that. But in Japanese books, you

start from the back. And also, you don't

read left to right, you read right to

left and also down to bottom. Everything

is back to front. Literally everything's

back to front. You start off reading here,

down, down, down, then you turn the page,

down, down, down. I used to read Japanese

books when I was studying.

Motoya Fumiko. Ah, I got the Miko bit

Really? I thought that's Tani.

Valley. Motoya. I got the moto bit

right. I thought it was Mototani.

Mototani Emi. I got the e wrong. Fu.

That's fu. Kanji names. Name kanji

is so hard.

Pinchio. Chance. G G

sin ho. Is that G G sin

ho? How to turn a

pinch into a chance.

Quite bothered.

Oh, she was born in Fukui-ken,

1947. How is she still alive?

She must be like 80.

Did she write the book and then she puts

the book in her own hotel? It's kind of

Go to Nagoya, meet Art Gary. I thought he

hates me. He thinks I'm like a pencil-neck

dweeb, and he seems kind of unhinged.

Doesn't he just rant about how he hates

Japanese people all the time because

they're scared of him or something?

Are you gonna ride a bicycle in Japan this

time? Probably not. They've got these

rental bikes everywhere. I thought I could

rent one, but I can't be bothered. Just

walked. I walked for like 8 hours today.

My legs are dead. I don't know

what else to do. If we do an IRL stream,

it'd just be me walking around in circles

doing nothing. I should do something

like go to a maid cafe.

For content, there's nothing to do. I

don't know what to do.

Fukuoka is famous for the yatai stalls,

the temporary stalls set up along the road

to sell ramen. It's just ramen though.

I'd rather just make Helldivers videos.

That's going to give me a better chance of

getting views. I'm— I've got a better

chance to just sit in the hotel room

cranking out Helldivers videos than try

and make Japan content. Japan content

doesn't get any views anymore.

So I'm just gonna try and replicate my

life in Thailand, I guess.

I went to a cat cafe and I streamed it in

Thailand and people didn't seem to be

interested.

Don't know.

When can I return to Thailand? Probably

next year. I need to save up

What else is there? Oh, this looks like

origami.

I guess if you work here, you need to

learn how to fold origami. How cute.

Oh, you can get a massage in the room.

Look, you can

get a full body massage. For ¥7,000 for 1

hour. What is eye head? It just says

eye head, 45 minutes, ¥5,000. Foot care,

45 minutes, ¥6,000. Should I get a room

body massage and

stream it? It sounds kind

of weird because they come to your room.

What if a man comes? Like, imagine paying

that money, then a man comes.

No, for these prices you're not going to

get anything naughty because to get a girl

to come to your room you would be paying

like ¥30,000 for 1 hour for health

delivery. So this price is

obviously just for a massage only unless

she's like a 50-year-old woman. Then these

prices are right for an old

woman. You know, I'm pretty sure the hotel

gets sued if they offered that kind of

service officially and not under the

table. It's probably just a massage

because it's

illegal The P word. If only they

legalized it and then you can just press a

button and it adds,

adds the bill to your tab and then the

girl comes up. Oh my God, I'd go broke.

I'd be like, oh, I'm bored. Whoops,

pressed it. Ding dong.

Yeah, that would not be good, but they

would make so much money. Imagine all the

horny lonely businessmen that go out on

business trips. They would press the hell

out of that button.

Stupid laptop keeps blacking out. Why do I

have to keep changing the— I keep changing

the settings for the power saving mode

to never black out, but it keeps resetting

to default 3 minutes if I don't touch it.

Why does it keep doing that? Why can't it

save the settings?

It's so weird. So prostitution is illegal,

but it's legal to pay an actress to

do it and film it. How's that any

different? The only difference is you're

filming it.

Japan makes no sense.

You can show the bum hole, but you have to

pixelate the dick and the other one, the

other hole. Buy a rental car here if

I had my international driver's license.

People drive nice cars here. The new

Toyota Prius looks really cool. I saw one

Tesla. Teslas are not really popular in

Japan. I haven't seen many, but in

Thailand you see them everywhere. Tesla

Model Ys, saw loads. I've only seen one

today. I see— you see more Japanese cars,

obviously, because it's Japan. Everyone

here drives Japanese cars because they're

Japanese. See loads of Toyota Prius. I

don't see any pickup trucks. In Thailand,

loads of Toyota Hilux pickups.

Not many people here ride bicycles though

compared to Osaka in

Fukuoka. The new Toyota Prius

looks really cool. It kind of looks like

Tesla design with this big black kind

of tail end back bit.

Looks really futuristic. What coffee did

they give me? I brought a bunch of my

Thailand coffee because I really like

that. They just gave me rubbish Nescafé.

I don't like Nescafé, tastes weird,

like kind of plasticky. Oh, got green tea

and creamer.

Can you talk about forbidden stuff? Like

what? I don't want to make my girlfriend

upset. Just because we're not physically

together anymore doesn't mean I'm gonna

start trashing her.

I'm trying my best not to upset her, you

know. I don't have anything bad to say,

just tiny little things I've already said

before.

But I don't know how we're gonna live

together again long term.

Either I have to get a 5-year Thai Elite

visa and save up the money, or she gets a

work visa for the UK. But I don't want to

stay in the UK. Imagine she gets a 1-year

work visa to stay with me in the UK, but I

want to go traveling. It'd be nice

if she just helped me make content and

stopped telling me to stop doing this and

stop doing that. Then we'd make more

Would you feel hurt if she got an American

boyfriend? I don't know, maybe.

I'd be pretty shocked because I don't see

it happening. I mean, it could if

she really liked him.

There's a possibility, I guess, but it's

unlikely.

And then I make a stream crying, saying my

girlfriend cheated on me.

No, she got a new boyfriend or guy, it

would be over. I wouldn't be interested

anymore. I don't share.

I look so rough. My eyes are red, they

look really squinty because I'm tired. I

need to shave. At least I don't have any

pimples. I just got tiny ones. I don't

have any big ones. I look so tired,

my eyes half open.

So what should I do tomorrow? You want me

to do IRL and do what?

Get some sushi? I had sushi

yesterday. At Sushiro.

I had tuna, salmon,

just had the same as what I always have.

I always get the same sushi.

I had banana cake and ice cream.

Yeah, maybe I could go to real Japan

Sushiro and see what the difference is.

They don't have the conveyor belt thing,

I think. Because of that guy who licked

the soy sauce bottle and put it back.

The on-screen chat is really behind,

isn't it? Why is it so delayed?

Maybe I get the 45-minute body massage.

¥5,000, that's like £30.

Really?

How much is ¥5,000?

£28. It's pretty cheap. For a full

body massage. Imagine a Thai woman comes

to the room and does it.

I wish it was nicer outside. I don't

really want to do IRL because it's so

cold.

I think I won't get food. I've got some

crisps left. I don't want to go outside

again, and I didn't see a convenience

store on the way here. There's like a

bunch of Japanese food restaurants.

This is my only food. Oh, I got this

biscuit thing.

Ah, my room's nice and cozy.

My bag was way heavier than I was hoping.

My bag is like 9 kg. I don't know why

I got this. What language is

this? Malkist crunchy cracker.

That's my dinner for tonight.

Broke. I had a sausage McMuffin McDonald's

for breakfast, and I had an omelette and

sausage on the plane. It was weird

tasting. I was in Japan a month ago.

Damn, it must have been freezing. It's

still cold. It's like eleven degrees right

now. So cold. I miss

Thailand. Miss Thailand when I was

sweating nonstop. I used

my Revolut. I used my Revolut card to buy

the SIM card. Got one percent cash back.

It's like thirty pence. Pretty good. Do do

do do do do do do.

It's funny, in Thailand you walk down the

streets and it's non-stop massage, foot

massage, spa shops, weed shops. You walk

down the street in Japan and it's non-stop

karaoke and maid cafes.

And then if you go to a massage place,

you end up getting BJ instead.

Were you and your girlfriend sad when

saying goodbye? Yeah, it was hard. We've

been together for a year and a half. This

is our first time being properly— I mean,

last year I was away for nearly a month,

but she came and saw me.

This time feels different because now

she's not gonna just come and see me, is

she? And I can't just run back to her like
