2nd day in JAPAN (outside)

近 い 将 来、 今 仕 事 の 約 49

を AI な ど が 担 える という 予 測 が あり、

まだ 見 ぬ 仕 事 が 生 ま れて いる。 Testing.

Is it working? I spent 15 minutes trying

to get it to work. Kept lagging.

I had to put the bitrate down to 1500.

Also, I have no idea where to go. I walked

around for hours and there's nothing.

I found this place. It's kind of weird

What's that

stupid music?

I think we go this way.

I found the fu zong place.

On the way here, there's this place,

looked like Tobita Shinchi, had all those

tea places.

It looks cold. It's not as cold as

yesterday, it's like 15 degrees.

Hold the camera straight. Wait.

Oh yeah, it's all wonky. It's that better?

Is it straight now?

My hotel is so dead.

I think I'm lagging.

Why is it lagging?

I don't know why it's lagging.

I've got 4G in the city. I shouldn't be

lagging.

Maybe I have to put the quality down a

bit. Maybe the quality is too

I think it's okay now.

Damn it.

Oh, thanks,

Sneed Feed.

Why is the picture so big?

I might have to set the bitrate even

lower. It's already pretty

low though.

I got a 50 GB SIM card prepaid.

I don't know why I can never set up an IRL

stream. Everyone else seems to stream

without any problems. But just me,

I get all these problems, don't I? Even if

I waste my money, I waste all this money

trying to stream and it always turns out

rubbish. Yeah, I got the Flip Z

on my backpack strap.

I'll walk around a bit and see what it's

Why is it good when I stand still, but

then when I move it's not good?

Now it says excellent connection.

It was even more laggy earlier because

I tried streaming at 1080p, 6000 bitrate.

I couldn't even load Chrome on my second

So this is Fukuoka, probably the most

boring city I've ever been to.

I'm trying to find the river.

How are you enjoying being in Japan so

far. It's okay.

It's a bit boring though.

I feel like Thailand's more interesting.

Skirts? I'm wearing 2 pairs of trousers

because yesterday I wore one and my legs

were freezing.

You said Thailand's too hot. Yeah, but

it's too cold here. Freezing. I tried to

look for a coat. I went to 4 different

sells any coats or

warm jacket. All I found was like

mountain hiking waterproof stuff.

It's not too bad now, it's just when the

wind blows, it's kind of cold. Another big

shopping center. I bet it disconnects if I

No, I'm not gonna buy clothes. It's gonna

get warmer anyway.

I bet it disconnects if I go in there.

Is the lag better now?

I don't know what I'm doing wrong because

I got basically the most expensive SIM

card.

It's, um,

NTT Docomo.

Put the settings down to pretty low.

It's very quiet compared to Bangkok,

and the traffic is very— seems

very quiet and slow.

I've got text-to-speech working, but I

need to press the button. I found out how

to do it. You just open a Chrome tab and

you play the TTS through the Chrome tab in

the background. Yeah, it seems a bit

better now. Okay, now I need to build some

confidence. I haven't done IRL in ages. I

feel stupid standing here talking to

When was the last time I went outside?

I think it was on Kick with my girlfriend,

or was it on Twitch?

At least it's stable.

I haven't eaten anything since yesterday.

Yesterday morning, unless you count those

crisps as food.

Oh, thanks, Unrelented News. Don't get

sunburned. There's no sun, it's cloudy.

So apparently Fukuoka is supposed to be

famous for yatai stalls,

but I don't know where they are. I think

they're near the river, which is where I

was heading, but I forgot where— which

direction it is. I think it's straight

ahead. Taking some McDonald's? No, I want

something else today, like ramen.

Let's cross the road.

I noticed the girls here,

they, they dye random strips of their hair

purple and weird colors.

Quite a lot,

and they like wearing knee-high boots and

socks.

They got pretty nice legs,

really pale looking legs.

Is it working?

I can't

tell if it's working.

Go to Nakasu. I just went through there

and I'm pretty sure that's where the,

the adult place is because they had that

sign, the free information sign. No,

no, I don't want to go there. Don't tempt

me, I'm broke.

I walked past there and I looked down the

alleyways and it looked like they had

those girls there. I walked past one sign,

it said ¥30,000 for an hour or something,

so I think I accidentally walked past the

women's place. Why do they have that in

every city in Japan.

It's like

every feature in a Japanese city, they got

those places.

No, I don't want to do it because I've got

a girlfriend and I'm broke.

I don't want to blow like $200 for 20

Got a bit sore, the vibe skin.

I don't know where I'm going. Where's the

Let me check Google Maps.

My Google Maps thinks I'm in Bangkok

still. I will go this way.

Okay,

I don't know what to do about the

lag. I'm streaming on HEVC

codec, 1500 bitrate.

Maybe I'll lower it down to 1000 bitrate.

Maybe I'll lower it.

Is it back?

I put it down to 1000.

I put it down to 1000 bitrate.

Why don't they just cross? There's nothing

here.

Look, the street's completely empty, but

they don't cross cuz it's red.

The city is dead here. The city is so

dull. This is probably the most dull city

I've ever been to. There's like no life.

Where's the nightlife and the

entertainment area? I walked around for

hours, couldn't find it.

There's a big shopping center and

there's a big park.

It's like a really uninteresting city.

Ah, damn it.

Maybe I need to buy a new SIM card,

but I spent like £20 on this SIM card.

It said on the back it's got 120 megabits

up. More like 3 up. It's probably got

like 2.5 up realistically.

So now I have to fix it.

Why didn't you stay in Osaka?

Because I was going to get a bicycle here

and then ride there,

but I'm kind of fed up with bicycles now.

Last year the connection wasn't too bad,

wasn't it? But I forgot what SIM card I

got. Must have been the

same one because I went to Yodobashi

Camera. It was just like the 50GB prepaid

SIM. That's what I used last time.

I probably just need to fiddle with the

settings so it's optimized or something.

I don't know. I feel really dumb when

I'm trying to set this stuff up. I don't

know what I'm doing.

Will you take us to dinner at a nice

restaurant? Maybe if the stream doesn't

and keep disconnecting.

Otherwise, just get McDonald's again.

I don't think there's anything this way.

It looks like there's nothing here. I

thought if I go towards the river, I think

I'll go the other way.

Where the hell is the entertainment fun

place?

Connection's very stable now because I'm

standing still. Wow, guys, Japan's so

amazing. Bet you're jealous. Look at these

boring white bland blocky buildings.

Now I'm not going to Nakasu. I'd get

shouted at for filming.

I forgot where me and the chlamydia

girlfriend went to. It was nice. It was

like a river and it had the ramen stalls.

I'm at the river now, but I don't see

any fun stuff.

I think I cross the river and then double

back. I mean, turn right. I cross

the river and then turn right.

Because I think I'm walking away from the

fun bits. I googled

where to go in Fukuoka and it said some

shopping arcade thing. The shoteng

guys, I don't like those. Boring.

Actually, I just walked past it because it

was too loud.

God, look at this city. It's so boring,

so dull.

It looks so gray, like there's

no color.

Everything's just gray.

Gray and boring.

I wonder if I can walk along the river.

My face is all numb as well. Hard to talk.

See, look, people complain saying my

content's boring because I just sit in my

hotel room. In the hotel room, I had 140

viewers. Now I got non-stop lag.

And 50 viewers. People are stupid.

I know what works best for my channel.

They're like, oh, Dan's boring, doesn't go

outside. Then I go outside and they don't

fucking watch. Morons.

Now it's stable, your connection.

Yeah, but what about my mental health?

It's getting more and more unstable.

Oh my God, this place is boring. I want to

go back to Bangkok.

What if I get 2 SIM cards and then I use

Speedify and bond it? Why don't

I waste more money to do IRL?

Cares. Show your face while IRL, you'll

get more viewers. But I look ugly,

I look tired.

Okay, I'll show my face.

There,

is it better now?

That girl's behind me.

Why would you leave your glove here when

it's smelly? I'm tired.

I've only got 60% battery left.

How's Japan? It's pretty boring.

My goal is walk around a lot, get tired,

go home, have a nice hot bath. Did you buy

the battery? Actually, I I did, but now I

feel like I wasted my money. It costs

$130, it's a stupid battery bank.

Is it even streaming?

I might as well plug the battery bank in.

I got the most expensive one. It's a

140-watt charger.

People keep asking why I chose Fukuoka. I

chose it because I was going to do a bike

trip from Fukuoka to Osaka, but then I got

got lazy. I couldn't be bothered. Oh,

it's got a sticker. I got a

24,000 milliamp, 140-watt Anker

power bank. Hope it's good.

I can't believe I didn't understand that

when you're buying a power bank, you need

to make sure it has high wattage, not high

milliamps. So I bought all these other

battery banks before, they all had crap

watts, like 30, 50 watts, and it would

charge my phone so slowly. It better be

charged straight out of the box. Imagine

you've got to charge the battery charger.

Why is it in a stupid plastic thing?

Hold on.

Is it

back?

Someone asked Johnny Somali what data he

uses because mine sucks.

Oh my God, I think that it doesn't have

battery. Oh my God.

What? The battery bank doesn't have any

battery. Oh my god,

I wasted my money.

I can't believe it.

That means I can only stream for like an

I can't use my battery bank, it's got no

battery.

So is it completely dead? Oh my

God, I only bought this so I could stream

today.

Maybe we just go back to the hotel I can't

charge the battery bank fast enough

though, it will take hours.

Everything's going wrong today.

I thought at least it would have some

charge,

like 1% at least.

God damn it, what am I gonna do?

Um, well, I guess today's stream is going

to be short. It must have been there for

years. Yeah, I guess so.

Maybe it turns on when you plug it into

something.

Nope.

Oh, doesn't work.

Why does everything go wrong in my light.

Okay, what should we do now?

That's so stupid. Well, I guess if it's

on the shelf and no one's bought it, they

can't do anything about it cuz they can't

open the box and charge it. Really sucks

cuz today was like the last chance to a

stream. Now we'll

go all the way back, charge it, and then

come out again.

What should I do?

Did you have the breakfast you wanted?

Yeah, I got a muffin, sausage McMuffin.

It's really good. We might as well walk

back into the city, get food,

go back to the hotel. I'm so

shit.

I've got 60% battery, which means probably

got about an hour.

Okay, so I want to go along the river.

Maybe a sneaky visit to Nakasu.

No, I just blew $130 and that

battery bank doesn't work. I should

have bought it yesterday.

At least it's quiet

here. What are these weird mechanical

piston things?

Smells here like fish.

How long are you in Japan? 3 months.

Going back in June.

Um, how do I get back?

Maybe I cross here.

Well, people were right when they said

going back to Japan won't increase your

I guess nothing will.

Truly, I can't believe it died like this.

I knew the channel was eventually going to

die, but I didn't think it would die this

Crazy, because I've

seen some channels channels that have been

going for 5, 6 years and they still get a

couple hundred viewers, 5,000, 10,000

views. My channel

died so hard,

harder than a lot of other ones do.

Very disappointing.

Wait, if I cross the river that way,

then don't I have to cross back over it?

No, I was— I can't remember now. I was

walking along the river and I crossed it,

and now I need to walk back along the

river by turning right. Okay.

Boom! And then he walked into the tree.

Something very weird about being in Japan,

it just feels very dystopian and

depressing compared to Thailand. It's like

getting on the train in Thailand felt like

good vibes and everyone seemed happy and

colorful, and then you get on the train

here, everyone looks like they're and neck

themselves, and it's cold,

and all the buildings are grey.

Everything's just grey, and all the people

just wear black and grey or white. All the

cars are black and white. Everyone looks

kind of miserable. The women all look like

they have sex for money and they're

depressed or something. Everything just

seems depressing here. Thailand was

smelly, dirty, loud, and ugly, but at

least it seemed like it was alive,

like it had a pulse. I don't

know, there's something too clean and

pristine about Japan. It seems

AI-generated.

Maybe the connection's better now because

I'm out of the busy part, and then when

I'm in the busy part, because there's so

many people using up the bandwidth— that's

the problem I had in Osaka.

After living in Thailand for a year and a

half, I don't know if I'd want to live in

Japan. Look at this place, it looks

like robots built it. It's very

weird. I can't believe I'm

saying this, but I kind of like Thailand

more. I don't know why.

Oh, there's like a European red brick

building over there. I don't know what

that is. I don't

know why Asia sucks at building buildings.

Europe has the best looking buildings, I

think. The Victorian,

Roman, Greek kind of buildings.

Asia is either mouldy concrete slum or

sterile looking road robotic square box

that is either white or grey.

How do I get to that European-looking

building? Look at these buildings,

at least there's some colour.

I kind of appreciate how Europe looks

after its old buildings instead of

knocking everything down and making

boring, ugly modern ones. I wonder why

Asia is not like that.

The only historic buildings you see in

Asia or Japan when you go to a temple or

like a novelty village where its whole

thing is about looking traditional. But

every single town in the UK looks

traditional. Every single town has

houses made out of brick and has churches

hundreds of years old.

Why does Asia knock everything down all

the time? I think stuff just burns down as

well. A lot of the castles in Japan, they

burnt down and then they just rebuilt it.

I think Osaka Castle burnt down like 3

times. The Osaka Castle now is not the

real one, it's just a reconstruction.

So maybe I'll just walk around for an

hour, head back. I don't want to head

back, charge the battery bank, and then

head back out again.

If I head back, I don't want to go out

again tomorrow as well before

going to the airport because I've got to

check out 10 AM. My flight's not until

after Excuse

me. So I got to wait quite a lot. Long

time.

I think maybe Osaka is better than this

place.

So what's this, um, red brick European

building?

Oh no, I'm lagging.

No, why is YouTube warning me?

There's also barely any foreigners here.

I think I saw 2.

I think I saw this Japanese guy with a

Russian girl. They were holding hands and

they were talking about getting her visa

or something.

So maybe we walk back this way.

Are you flying to Osaka? Why not

Shinkansen because flying is way cheaper

than the Shinkansen and it's faster.

It's kind of weird, the Shinkansen is more

expensive than flying.

It costs like £50 to fly to Osaka, but to

get Shinkansen would be a couple hundred

dollars. Thank you.

What's the plan? Stay in Japan for 3

months streaming yourself walking around

doing nothing? Yeah, pretty much.

Walk around doing nothing, maybe meet some

viewers, eat some food,

complain about being bored.

Either I sit around in Japan being bored,

or I sit at home being bored. Doesn't make

a big difference.

I keep tripping.

I keep I keep tripping over tiny

bumps on the footpath.

Oh look, is that a yatai thing? Ramen and

gyoza. Look, I found one.

Apparently these come out at night. I

guess it's too early. Maybe I'll take

a picture. Why did they just leave it

I saw these on YouTube.

I saw a lot of YouTube videos of those

yatai things where they film the man

setting it up. What if I wait here for him

to come out and then ask if I could film

him? Get a million views. They get loads

of views. Have you seen them? It's like

they have titles like hard-working

Japanese man sets up his stall every Every

day. I think it's raining.

Oh my God, I saw a drop of water.

Maybe it's my saliva.

My on-screen chat is too big.

How long can you stay in Japan with no

visa? 180 days,

half a year.

It's hard to talk now.

Tell us something about the buildings and

area.

Don't know, it's very boring.

I think these are like office buildings.

Walk up to women and woo them. I can't,

I've got a girlfriend.

C'est pas
