What is TJG doing now??

Cheap face masks

2012-01-27T13:56:00.001+09:00

Hi.
I got a cold... Boo... I don't get a cold so often. So when I get it, it sucks.
I bought cheap face masks to make myself feel better. 48 sheets cost only 1,575 yen! It's so cheap!!
I think it works very well. It didn't cure my cold, but I have better skin today :)

Wow...

2011-11-12T00:41:00.002+09:00

I haven't touched my blog page for ages. Google changed a lot of things here...
I can't tell that it's better than before or not. But it looks cool.
What do you think??

Do you like blogs in easy Japanese?

2011-07-29T01:04:00.001+09:00

Hi guys,

As you know, I'm a vlogger. So I don't update my blog so often.

But my friend, thatcooljapanesegirl started blogging in Japanese. She doesn't know many Kanjis. She writes her blog all in Hiragana and Katakana. So I think that it might be good for people who study Japanese. She loves fluffy stuff. So she is going to write about weird fluffy stuff on her blog. Interested?

Hope you enjoy reading her fluffy blog!

Here is the link to her blog.

Sakura Time in Japan

2011-04-08T21:28:00.004+09:00

It's very windy today. I was so worried that all cherry blossom trees are blown away.

So I went to Yoyogi park after work. Yoyogi park is a big park near Shibuya. If you know Vloggers in Japan, Tokyocooney organize the hanami party every year in the park. I went to the party last year. Unfortunately, we had a big earthquake this year. So I think that he didn't organize it this year.

Here are some pictures I took today. They are not great pictures. I don't have a fancy camera. But I hope you enjoy seeing some Sakura.

I'm going to post more pictures on facebook fan page later.

TJB left Tokyo.

2011-04-06T22:41:00.003+09:00

My bro, TJB was living in Tokyo for a year. It was nice to be able to hang out with him often.

He is a cool brother to have. Today I helped him to move out and cancel his apartment. And I got a nice present! I got an air filter!! Yikes!! Well, he had it because parents bought it for him. But he didn't use it so often. I wanted to buy it, so I took it :D Yay for me!!

FAQ What camera I use for Youtube

2011-03-06T20:08:00.002+09:00

Hi guys!

Have you watched my loooong video? It's the first long video on thatjapanesegirl.

I always try to make my videos short, but I wanted to answer a question which I've been asked many times.

The question is what camera I use for Youtube.

As I said in my video, I have four cameras. So I wanted to talk about each camera's good things and bad things. That's why it became a long video. I enjoyed filming it. I love gadgets!!

I also talked about making videos on Youtube a little bit at the end.

If you have a lot of free time to stare at me for 12 minutes, please check my video! Hahaha.

Thatcooljapanesegirl

2011-02-21T19:55:00.002+09:00

It's a bit late update for this. But I'm going to post it anyway.

This video is my 100th video. I've been thinking about what I want to do for that. I've already talked about it on the previous blog post.

This is what I've done! Hahaha.

I moved to Tokyo last year. And I've been observing a lot of gyaru girls in Tokyo. It is a lot of fun to see them. They look like completely different creatures for me. Maybe I'm getting old...

I don't mean that they are weird. They are just different.

They gave me a lot of ideas for my videos. Thank you, Tokyo gyaru!!

I enjoyed making it.

I appreciate all your nice comments. You guys seem to like thatcooljapanesegirl!! I like her too!! LOL.

Thank you very much for watching my videos. 感謝しています！ありがとう！！

My 100th video on thatjapanesegirl channel

2011-02-18T01:03:00.003+09:00

It's hard to believe that I've been making videos on Youtube for more than two years. And my 100th video is coming up!! I'm excited.

I've been thinking about what I can do for the 100th video. A lot of people made collab vids for their anniversary videos. So I don't think that I'm gonna do it this time. But in the future, I'd like to try to make a huge collab video.

Why am I talking about it here? Cuz I got an idea for the 100th video. And I'm going to film it tomorrow. Hopefully, I can post it tomorrow night.

I'm not kinda girl like loving celebrating all anniversary days. I often forget Valentine's day and like anniversary... I'm like a guy. Hehehe.

Anyway, my point is that the 100th video is not for myself. It's for my subscribers. I appreciate their support. So I want to do something for them. I usually don't spend a lot of time to make videos. But I'm going to spend all day for this video! It's a big project for me and hopefully for my lovely subscribers too!!

I'll post it on facebook and twitter when it's up.

Thank you for your support. I hope you enjoy my 100th video this weekend!!

I'M BACK!!

2011-02-12T00:04:00.002+09:00

Hi guys,

Long time no talk! I'm finally back on internet!! It's so nice to have internet. It was too difficult for me to live without internet...

So I posted a new video on thatjapanesegirl. Please go check it out! I'm very happy to make videos and post them here again. And it's great to talk to you guys again!!

This video is a quick Japanese lesson video. I also talked about my new place a bit.

Hope you enjoy it!!

Golden Guy

2011-01-20T20:15:00.002+09:00

I had the drink called "Golden Guy" couple days ago. I haven't felt the golden power yet... I guess I have to be a man to feel that power. Damn it!

My Forever21 Haul

2011-01-13T21:29:00.002+09:00

I went to the new Forever21 in Shibuya. It has 6 floors. It's HUGE!!!!

I tried not to spend money. Because I'm trying to save some money in this month. But it was so hard not to buy anything there. There are a lot of cheap cute clothes and accessaries.

I bought some small things.

My favorite one is a red beanie! I love the color!! I thought that a ball thing on top is kinda too much, but it didn't look too bad when I tried it on.

I needed to buy a bag, so I'm happy to be able to find a nice one.

If you are a hardcore TJG follower, you've noticed that I love big earrings. Yes. I always wear big earrings. I'm so lucky to be able to wear them at work too!! I love my job :D

I don't know people want to see what I got, but I like doing something I like in my videos.

I like watching people having fun and smiling, so that's why I'm doing this.

Hope you enjoy watching my videos!

Asakusa

2011-01-11T16:36:00.003+09:00

Hi guys,

I went to Asakusa. I thought that there is only a big temple there. But I was wrong.

There are a lot of small shops there. Asakusa is very classic. I felt like I traveled time. It has nice old Japanese style. It was a lot of fun to walk around there except the huge crowd and slow walkers. If you visit Japan, you should check this place ;)

New Hairstyle!!

2011-01-05T21:04:00.003+09:00

Hi guys,

I think some of you guys have already seen my video and a picture on Dailybooth or facebook.

Do you want to know why I did it?

It wasn't the plan that I cut my hair like this short. But I thought that I have to pay about $60 anyway... Why don't I cut it shorter? Then, I did it.

I feel great!!

Happy New Year!!

2011-01-01T04:06:00.001+09:00

Happy New Year!

あけましておめでとうございます。今年もよろしくお願いします。

I went to Zojoji for the countdown. It was a lot of fun.

Thank you very much for everything, everyone!

2010-12-30T23:38:00.004+09:00

I just wanted to say "thank you" to everyone.

I think that my subscribers are the best!! I can't thank you enough.

Your comments always make me smile. It's been almost 2 years since I started making videos on Youtube. It's been great because of you guys.

Thank you very much for watching my videos :D

Happy New Year!!!!!

Love

TJG

Merry Christmas!!

Edited Osaka trip video

2010-12-21T16:55:00.002+09:00

Here is the edited Osaka Trip video.

Hope you can feel the Osaka vibe from this video. Osaka is such a cool place.

BusanKevin is da man!!

2010-12-21T11:42:00.002+09:00

If you haven't watched BusanKevin's collab video. Go check it out!

If you are a Youtuber, you know that making a collab video is a hard work. Especially collecting all clips from a lot of people and editing everything together are a lot of work. BusanKevin always does a great job. This Christmas collab video brings you nice holiday feeling.

Happy Holidays, everyone!!

Bye Bye Osaka

2010-12-19T23:34:00.002+09:00

We had a great time in Osaka. Osaka people seem like that they are happier than Tokyo people. That was the first thing that we noticed. It's interesting. Japan is a small country, but there are some big differences between Tokyo and Osaka.

Osaka Trip 2

2010-12-19T23:31:00.002+09:00

We went to the Osaka castle on Day 2. And after that, we met BusanKevin in Kobe.

It was a fun day :)

Osaka Trip 1

2010-12-19T23:26:00.003+09:00

Hi.

Betamaxdc, CakesBomb and I had a great trip to Osaka. I made some random videos.

Here is the first one.

Spoiler! Watch my video first!

2010-12-13T19:46:00.005+09:00

I hope a lot of people got it right! Was it too easy for you? Or too difficult for you?

I quickly explained why b is correct and why a and c are not correct. Did you understand?

The English sentence is "Zombies are not scary." a, b, and c are all negative sentences. Did you notice that? I'm going to explain a bit more here on my blog.

a. ゾンビは、こわいじゃない。Zombie wa kowai janai.

Why is it wrong? Because kowai is i-adjective. "janai" is used for the negative form with na-adjective.

For example, "げんきじゃない" "Genki janai"

Genki na is na-adjective. So when you make a negative form, you use "janai" at the end, and you get rid of "na" from "genki na". "Kowai" is i-adjective. That's why a is a wrong answer.

b.ゾンビは、こわくない。Zombie wa kowaku nai.

As I said, kowai is i-adjective. When you make a negative form, you use "nai" at the end, and get rid of "i" from kowai. This is the correct answer.

c. ゾンビは、かわいくない。Zombie wa kawaiku nai.

Some people get confused "kawaii" and "kowai" sounds. So I thought that it might be a good one for multiple choice question.

kawaii is cute. kowai is scary. They are completely different meaning. So please be careful.

You don't want to say" your cat is scary!" Right?

Peter Jackson is crazy!

2010-12-12T23:57:00.005+09:00

I watched Toy Story 3, Dead Alive (Brain Dead), and Back to the future last night.

I'm not a big fan of Toy Story. But a lot of people said that it's a good movie. I watched it.

Ummm..... It was ok. It didn't make me become a Toy Story fan. Oh! I almost forgot about Ken!! That character is so funny. I liked it!

The second one... Oh my goodness. I LOVE zombie movies. BUT it was.... Not my favorite. It was wrong in so many ways!! The most disgusting thing I've ever seen was the big mama zombie. Actually it wasn't a zombie any more!!

I've been watching a lot of movies since I was little. My parents let me watch a lot of zombie movies too. So I didn't expect that I get disgusted by a movie! It was very entertaining. Don't get me wrong. I enjoyed watching it, but I don't think that I want to watch it again.

After I watched Dead Alive, I had to watch something nice to get rid of the big mama zombie image from my head.

Back to the future!!!! It's one of my favorite movies. Who doesn't like this movie? It worked well. I felt much better after watching a good movie :D Hahaha.

I think you want to see the big mama zombie now! Right?

I love gadgets.

2010-12-08T01:42:00.006+09:00

Do you remember that I was talking about a Canon IXY last year on this blog?

Here is the link.

http://thatjapanesegirl.blogspot.com/2009/12/canon-ixy-digital-930-is.html

I've been thinking of it for a year!

If you follow me on Twitter or facebook or Youtube, probably you know that I love gadgets. Yes. I bought a new Canon IXY last month. And it's PINK!!!!! LOVE IT!!

I scream "IT'S SO PRETTY!!!!" when I use it. Hahaha.

I made a test video and uploaded it on thisjapanesegirl. Unfortunately, I couldn't film it during day time. But it's pretty good. I also used it to film my thatjapanesegirl latest video.

Now I have three cameras, the Xacti, the Kodak, and the Canon.
Each camera has good points and bad points.

Here is my quick review about those three cameras.

My Xacti is waterproof. So when I go to the pool or the beach. It's perfect! But the sound quality is horrible :( Another bad thing about the Xacti is that you can't take good photos. So slow and bad quality.

The Kodak is tiny like a cellphone. Which is really good for tiny people like me. And it takes good quality videos! I always wanted to buy a flip type camera. So I'm very happy with it. But the problem is that it's slow to turn on and turn off. You can take pictures. The quality is ok. But it's so slow. It's also not so easy to switch to the picture mode from the video mode.

The Canon has nice design. And it takes great pictures and videos. (AND PINK! LOL.) It's so quick to turn on and turn off too.

But the problem is that when you take a video at night, it catches strong lights and makes weird light lines. When I found it out, I got freaked out. I thought that it's broken. Yeah, it's that bad.

Hope it helps you if you are interested in buying a new camera!

Let's laugh together!

2010-12-06T20:36:00.002+09:00

Hi guys.

I love laughing. I think that everybody should have a good laugh at least once a day. It makes your day much better.

I do weird things sometimes, and I always laugh at myself. So I thought that it might be fun to share it with people. If you can talk about funny things or weird things which you've done, that might make people laugh or smile. Hope you guys can make a video response or leave a comment. Your video or comment makes people's day better!!

Bouldering is FUN!!

2010-11-29T20:39:00.006+09:00

Today is my day off. It means BOULDERING TIME!

Bouldering is like a small version of rock climbing. The bouldering wall is about 3-5 m tall. And we climb it without harness. The fun part is that you have to use your brain. You need to figure out how to get to the goal.

Maybe you've watched my bouldering video on Thisjapanesegirl. That was the first time for me, so I failed so many times. It was the lowest level which is pink course, level 8... But now I'm trying to master red courses which are level 6. Yay! I could master one of red courses today! I'm getting better!!

I didn't think that it is an addictive sport, but it is! I don't have strong arms, but I can climb. So you can! It's a good exercise. You'll get sore arms and sore back for couple days after bouldering. Hahaha. It feels good!!

Oh hi!

2010-11-29T01:27:00.005+09:00

Hi guys,

Long time no blog.

AGAIN I'm a vlogger, not a blogger. But I'm going to try to update my blog a bit more often.

This is my latest video which I uploaded yesterday.

I've seen a lot of girls wearing fur stuff on their legs, heads, and bags in Tokyo. They look like they are wearing dead animals! Hahaha. It looks like a fashion trend.

In my opinion, they don't look good at all.

I thought that talking about it would be funny. So I made this short video. Please leave comments or make a video response! I'd like to know your opinion :)

Hope you like it!

I haven't blogged for ages!!

2010-07-08T00:19:00.002+09:00

Hi everyone,

I haven't written anything here for ages!!

I'm not a blogger. I'm a vlogger!! I'm not good at writing, so making videos is much easier for me.

But today I'd love to share this exciting news with you guys. Probably, many people have already known this... Because I've been tweeting and updating my status on my facebook page.

I was interviewed by the Japan Times last week! I was so excited!!

And today the interview article is on the Japan Times!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't thank you enough!! I can be here because of all my subscribers!!!

I couldn't do it without your support.

And thank you for nice comments on the video "the Japan Times interview". I enjoyed reading your comments.

This is the link. Please check it out when you have time.

http://www.japantimes.co.jp/life.html

About the video ;

I've never made videos talking about myself. So it was the first time to talk about myself in my video. It made me a bit nervous. Hahaha.

I wasn't sure whether people like the video or not. Because it was just me talking in front of the camera. But all your comments made me so happy!

You guys are awesome!!

Thank you very much, everyone!!

I've had long hair for ten years. It was hard to decide to cut my hair. But I feel much better now. I really like my new hair style. When I decided to cut it, I wanted to share this moment with everyone. Cutting my long hair meant a lot for me. I've already got good feedback on this video. Thank you very much, everyone!! You guys are the best!!

He has the coolest icon picture on Twitter, so Betamaxdc copied CakesBomb's picture, then, APOKALYPSE34 copied it. I thought I should try it too.

Now more people joined. So it's so hard to tell which tweet is whose tweet... So confusing. LOL.

Funny comments

2010-02-01T18:51:00.002+09:00

I'm thinking about picking some funniest comments on my videos every week and post them here. One comment made me laugh so hard today. It is on my Japanese Girl video. I don't have his permission, so I'm not going to post that comment today.

I think it'll be funny and it'll be fun to share with more people. Please let me know what you think!!

Forever21

2010-01-25T17:11:00.002+09:00

I went to Forever21 yesterday. When I got off the train, I felt like I got lost because so many people were around the station. It sucks to be short in the crowd! I couldn't see anything. Good thing was I know exactly where the Forever21 is.

When I got to the store, I was so tired. But of course, a lot of cheap clothes and accessories made me happy quickly.

I lost 3 pairs of earrings last year :( So I wanted to buy earrings. Then, I found a cute pair of red owl earrings. They had black ones too. But I love red, so I bought red ones. After that, I found an apple necklace. It looks like Mac Apple!! I thought I should have it because I'm a geek. Hehehe.

I was afraid of spending too much money there, but I didn't!! I'm a good girl, eh?

Shopping always makes me happy :D

What makes you happy??

Costco's pizza is the best!!

2010-01-14T15:10:00.002+09:00

I love Costco!! Especially this pizza!! It's cheap and big :D Of course, it tastes goooood!! Why are Japanese pizzas so expensive?? It should be cheaper... Right?

I tried to think why this pizza is better than Japanese pizza. I think main reason is cheese. They use different cheese. I think the cheese makes a big difference. What do you think?

What's your favorite food at Costco?

Happy New Year! あけましておめでとうございます！

Here are my New Year's videos!

I'm addicted to the Farmville...

2009-12-30T01:49:00.003+09:00

This game is so so so so addictive! I try not to check my farm like a mad person, but I check it like a mad person!! It's fun!!!!!!! I love my cows and sheep. They are so cute.

I bought a pink tractor the other day! Isn't it cute?? Is it because I'm Japanese? LOL.

I've never enjoyed games like this in my life. If you play this game on facebook, please add me as your neighbor!!

おおきに！

Have a Merry Christmas Everyone!!

I've set a Christmas tree. Can I eat my gingerbread house after Christmas? I'm not sure...

Do you eat your gingerbread house??

My gingerbread house

2009-12-19T22:09:00.003+09:00

This is my first gingerbread house!! It was harder than I thought.

The roof pieces were already broken when I opened the box so I had to fix them first. My icing was crap and it wasn't holding well. But in the end, it was a lot of fun to make. I'm sure I'll do a better job next year.

I think I did a pretty good job for my first gingerbread house :)

Christmas in Japan!

2009-12-17T22:51:00.002+09:00

Are you ready for Christmas?

2009-12-09T23:56:00.003+09:00

I got this app "Christmas Tree Decorator" on my iPhone today. You can decorate your tree! It makes me so happy and excited!! Also I ordered a gingerbread house kit!!!!!!!! Yeah!! I'm ready for Christmas.
I haven't been excited about Christmas for a few years. But this app and a gingerbread house kit made me love Christmas again. Hope you all have happy holidays!

Gingerbread house kit

2009-12-07T19:42:00.002+09:00

I want a gingerbread house kit!!!!

I don't know what my problem is recently. I want a camera, I want a gingerbread house kit...etc Christmas is evil!! This Christmas atmosphere makes me want to buy a lot of stuff. This is not good. Especially I shouldn't spend too much money right now.

I want to enjoy new years eve. So I need to save some money for that.

But this gingerbread house kit shouldn't be too expensive. So I'm going to buy it anyway! Hahaha. The problem is I don't know where I can buy it. Maybe Costco or IKEA should have it. Right? I've never seen a gingerbread house at Japanese grocery stores. Damn it!

I checked online shops. Some shops have it. But they are so expensive! They are more than 3000 yen! No way!!

I hope amazon can ship it to Japan.

Canon IXY digital 930 IS

2009-12-06T01:10:00.004+09:00

I WANT AN IXY DIGITAL 930 IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I saw this camera today. And I found out this camera takes MOV file video!! It means I don't need to convert the file to edit!! AWESOME!!!

And it has touch panel like iPhone. There are four colors. Purple, silver, brown and blue. I want a purple one!

It was released in September 2009. I think it's released only in Japan. Maybe they're going to release similar one in US later. I'm not sure. This model is called Canon powershot SD something in US. I don't know why they often change the name though.

Don't you want it?

This is the Japanese Canon website.

TJG becomes Lady GaGa?

2009-11-28T21:41:00.000+09:00

Too much time, too much hair, Let's become Lady GaGa!!
I was getting ready to go out. Then, I thought "wow! My hair is long enough to make Ribon like Lady GaGa!!" So this is the result.

I'm in Takarajima magazine!

2009-11-25T22:30:00.006+09:00

OMG!! I'm in Takarajima magazine!! Takarajima is a big magazine company. I think you can get the idea what kind of magazine it is here.

現宝島社、元ＪＩＣＣ出版局 (Takarajima-sha, ex JICC Publishing）

現在はアイドル兼エロ専門の雑誌と成り下がってしまったが、Ａ５判サイズだった頃の７０年代末から８０年後期に於いては日本のサブ・カルチャーを牽引していた偉大な雑誌です。７３年に創刊の『ワンダーランド』と言う雑誌を起源とし『宝島』と成ってからその後判型が移行するに従い内容もどんどん変わって行くのです。雑誌が生き残るためには必要であったかもしれないが日本でのテクノポップ／ニュー・ウェイヴ・ブーム期と重なる８０年から８６年ごろが『宝島』が一番生き生きしていたのです。現在この時期の『宝島』に相当する雑誌は見つからない。あえて言えば『Quick Japan』か。宝島社の『別冊宝島』、『ＶＯＷ』のその片鱗を伺うのみです。これは私の希望企画ですが、この時期の『宝島』に記事を元にして『別冊宝島』から『テクノポップ大百科』とか出版すれば結構売れると思うのですが、どうでしょう。古書店では普通の号は五百円前後、人気のある号は千円以上の値が付いてます。
２０００年３月から宝島が週刊化。時代とともに変遷していった宝島だが、今回のリニューアルではずばり下世話なSPA!。お勧め記事は自らB級ライターと名乗る『吉村智樹の夜の歌謡曲』。近田さんみたいに集まったら本にするのかな？

It became just a magazine on idols and eros, it used to be a great magazine leading Japanese subculture between the end of 70's and late 80's when it was in A5 size. Its origin is the magazine "Wonderland" published in '73. Since it became "Takarajima", the content changed a lot as the size changed. "Takarajima" had its peak time between '80 and '86 overlapping the boom period of Techno Pop and New Wave while the change may have been necessary to survive. Currently, I cannot find the equivalent magazine to "Takarajima". If I dare to say, it's "Quick Japan". I can see its essence in "Takarajima Extra Edition" and "VOW" from Takarajima-sha. I think they should publish "Techno Pop Encyclopedia" as "Takarajima Extra Edition" based on the articles in "Takarajima" during this period. What do you think? In the used book shops, the normal issues are sold around \500 and the popular ones are priced over \1,000.
From March 2000, Takarajima became weekly. Takarajima has been changing as years go by, and in this renewal it became low-blow SPA!. The recommended article is "Tomoki Yoshimura (who calls himself as a B-class writer)'s Night Kayokyoku". I wonder he plans to publish a book like Mr. Chikada.

I'm so excited!! It's weird to see myself in a magazine though. I don't think you can read this magazine online. But I think you can buy it online. Hahaha.

I'd like to make a video about this. But I'm not sure I can show the magazine in my video. Becuase I'm worried about copy right things... :(

If I can't show it in my video, I'll put better picture of the page here!! Then, you can read it!! And also I'll try to translate it!

Thank you for all your comments!! You guys made me so happy!!

Hope you enjoy it!!

Meet at Disneyland!!

2009-11-23T00:58:00.002+09:00

Did you watch Elevencolors' video?? They are going to film Fatblueman's Christmas collab video clip at Disneyland!! I'll be there too!! You have to be there before 7 pm on Thursday ( Nov 26). I hope more people can make it!! I'm looking forward to seeing you guys there!!

Help me find a bag! ( this is not Ken Tanaka.)

2009-11-17T20:44:00.008+09:00

This is my favorite bag. I bought it at Target in Australia. I think Australian Target is the best!! Hahaha. Anyway, it's my favorite one. It's simple, light, cheap (but it doesn't look cheap. It's important.) and small ( this is very important. I'm tiny, so when I'm carrying a big bag, I look so stupid.). I love it!! I use it everyday. So I want to have another bag like this one. I've kept looking for similar bags. But it's almost impossible to find a bag which I want in Japan!! I think Japanese bags are too Kawaii and too expensive! Why is it so hard to find A BAG?? If you find a similar one, please let me know!!

Do you know how to wear makeup?

2009-11-13T18:18:00.011+09:00

Today I had lunch with my friends.

They said Japanese girls are good at makeup. Really?? I've never thought that!

They said girls in Tokyo are wearing full makeup and they look perfect. I think they are right. Especially, in Tokyo.

I don't like to wear heavy makeup. Because I feel like my skin can't breath!! And also I want to be recognizable without makeup. LOL.

I got my parcel. It was not a case of beer.

2009-11-11T12:09:00.005+09:00

I got my parcel this morning. It's not a case of beer. I wish it could be beer. Hahaha.

I haven't had time and money to go to Costco for a long time! So I ordered some stuff online. They are a bit more expensive than buying at Costco. But when you don't have time, it's good deal.

This Kirkland House Blend is my favorite coffee beans. I tried the red one last time. I prefer this green one. I still have vanilla flavor one which I used in the Quiz video. But sometimes I need to have regular coffee too. So I need to have both.

The can of Chai tea... Love it!! It's so nice. Especially for winter time.

And also I bought salt and tortilla.

I'm waiting for another parcel!! I ordered it yesterday. Can't wait!!

Do you want to go there?

2009-11-10T14:10:00.006+09:00

I found this restaurant 2 years ago.

"コック(kokku)" means "cook" . So I think they mean " Mr.cook" or something.

But I was shocked when I saw English part! Actually it says " Cock Boy"!!

What do you want to order there? LOL.

このレストラン。。。まあ日本語では料理人のことコックさんとかいうからまあいいけど、この英語までcockになってるからどうしようもないな。それもファミリーレストランってw

なんでこれ作る前に辞書とかチェックせんかったんやろ？そうかわざとか？

Actually I wasn't drunk.

2009-11-09T18:31:00.004+09:00

I uploaded a new video last night. I'm sure you thought I was drunk. Well, actually NOT!

It might scare you that I did it without alcohol. Hahaha.

I wanted to make another Kansai dialect lesson video. Then I chose a word "ninuki".( It might be used only in Kyoto though.) Then I was thinking how to make this a funny lesson.

And I got this great? idea when I was eating dinner. Let's crash eggs on my forehead and find the ninuki!! LOL. I wanted to be drunk to make this video. Because I was not sure I can do it without alcohol. But I needed to set up everything in order to film it. I couldn't be drunk!

I was a bit afraid to crash eggs on my forehead. I've heard that egg shells are hard and cut your head! That's why I did it on my hair. I do believe my hair protects my head. And I was right.

Of course it still hurt!

When I did the first one, I was still nervous. So I didn't bang the egg on my head strong enough. It didn't crash nicely. Damn it!! Then I tried to make sure to crash the second one better. It worked! I was very happy and getting excited. But at the same time, my forehead started hurting...

After the second one, I was pretty much confident to crash eggs on my forehead. So I didn't hesitate to crash the third one. But that was a mistake... Boiled eggs are much harder than regular eggs. I didn't think about it. It was really painful!! If you listen carefully when I crashed the ninuki on my head, you can tell the difference from the other eggs. I felt like I hit myself with a rock. Hahaha.

It was good fun. Hope you enjoy watching it!!

My favorite place in my house & my camera

2009-11-06T15:58:00.006+09:00

I'd like to show you my favorite places in my house.

My make up table :

It was my dream to have a make up table! My dream has come true!!! Yay! And I hang all my big earrings and necklaces on the board. So it looks organized :)

All my accessories were on the table before. I wanted to keep this area

clean. I'm very happy to have my cosy girly place.

うちのお気に入りの場所を紹介。

化粧台 :

化粧台を持つことがずっと夢やって、無事夢かなっ

た！大きいイヤリングとかネックレスは全部コルクボードにかけてあるから、整理されてきれいやからめちゃ嬉しい。前は、全部じゃらじゃらとテーブルのうえに散らばってたから。なんかこじんまりした女の子の場所みたいなのが、できて非常に満足してんねん。

My studio :

I just want to call this room my studio. Hahaha. I'm making videos here. There are a background, two lights and a tripod. I need to get another light and smaller tripod. But I don't have money!!

I might change the set up later. Because I don't have enough room between the background and the camera.　　　　　　　　

うちのスタジオ:

といっても、ただうちがこの部屋をスタジオと呼びたいだけ。ここで、いつもビデオ撮ってます。バックグラウンドがかかってて、二つライトが両サイドにあって、正面にカメラの脚がたててあるかんじ。でも、もうひとつライトが必要！それに小さめの三脚。。。でも今お金ないからな〜。

また配置位置は変えるつもり。というのは、バックグラウンドからカメラまで十分に距離がとれへんから。

My camera :

I love my red Xacti CA9. It's a nice camera!! I really wanted to have a red camera. This Xacti is so pretty. And this color is exactly what I wanted. It's easy to hold. Especially for girls who have small hands like me.

Also you can take pictures and video both. But honestly taking pictures with Xacti is not so fun. You have to hold the button to take pictures. So when I asked my friend to take pictures for me, she couldn't take any pictures. I think this camera is built for taking videos.

Another reason why I love it, it's water proof! I don't need to worry about rain! It's awesome!!

If you don't have cameras, I recommend it.

カメラ :

うちのお気に入りの赤のXacti CA9！すごい良いカメラやと思う。どうしても赤のカメラが欲しかったから、もうすごいステキ！まさに欲しかった色やし。ビデオ撮るにも持ちやすいし、うちみたいな小さな手の女の子にもかなりおすすめです。（まあうちはもう女の”子”ではないけど）

それに写真もビデオも両方撮れるし。ただ、うち個人的には正直カメラのほうはあんまり。なんか写真撮ろうとしても、反応遅くてなんかボタンじっと押してないとあかんみたいな感じやし、友達に頼んで写真撮ってもらおうとしたときも、うちの友達もわからんくてうまく撮れんかった。やっぱりこのカメラはビデオ撮るために作られてると思う。あと、waterproofなのもかなり嬉しい。雨とか心配せんでいいやん。最高！

もしまだカメラ持ってない人いたら、絶対おすすめ！

Kick the baby! ( hey! I'm joking!!)

2009-11-05T11:29:00.002+09:00

I'm going to visit my neighbor today!! I'm excited!!

It's always exciting to make new friends. They have a brand new baby. What should I bring?? I can't make anything like cakes. Should I bring my camera instead? Probably not...

I've never held a baby. So I'd like to try. It'll be a nice feeling I imagine...

I really want to bring my camera!! Is it rude? It's kinda rude, right?

I'll try not to drop the baby :) I'll be a good fake mom! Hahaha.

This is the first blog... Not vlog!! Hahaha.

2009-11-04T20:06:00.009+09:00

Hi,everyone!

I'd like to talk about some stories from making videos and a little bit about my life.

First, I'd like to thank to everyone who is watching my videos on Youtube.

It has been so much fun! When I started making videos, I didn't think I keep doing this. Of course, I didn't have lights, background and green screen. But it's very addictive! I spend more time in front of my macbook now! Some people think it's sad. I don't think so. It's my hobby. And it's something I can do and I can enjoy in my free time. If you are thinking about starting Youtube, be careful! It's VERY ADDICTIVE! Ask Gimmeaflakeman! He knows exactly what I mean!! LOL.

It's hard to believe it's almost 1 year since I started making videos on Youtube. And I could meet a lot of cool people through Youtube.

I didn't think I can make friends online before. Maybe I'm too old! Hahaha. But actually I could make some friends.

I think this blog thing is kinda addictive too... Oh noz!!

What is TJG doing now??
