Yes, I can't wait until it's ok to get together with my family and friends again
@Ldy Ydi I'm learning some new skills to surprise others when it's over
Small things we took for granted.
Your Wayward Destiny I was just telling my husband that we are doing this once we all can do this again!
Your sister in law is so cute, she really doesn't need to worry about her looks 🥰
She looks nice from any angle and especially when smiling! Please tell her we said so :)
@Shank Adams Sometimes a compliment is just a compliment. Try it sometime, you'll feel less hate in your heart.
We're letting her know. My wife and I are sending her all the positive comments!
i know right!!! havent seen a single bad angle!!
She's so pretty
“Shin-Chan don’t take the octopus out when you eat it. It’s pricey” best Japanese mom quote ever
I caught that too. Lol😄
Lol I laughed! I think it's a universal mom thing to say!
Can you please explain what it means?
@@aachikha123 Takoyaki is octopus balls or more precisely pan-baked dough balls with a piece of octopus (and other stuff) inside it.
lmao when i eat it i take the octopus and finish the takoyaki then eat the octopus
You know a country is safe when you can simply park your bicycle outside without a lock and leave. I love japan.
I noticed this too. 💗 that about Japan. No need to fuss with bike chains that can simply be cut by thieves
@Bosonian what are you talking about?????
Yes i used to live in japan. I can literally live my cellphone in a sidewalk go buy in a convenience and no one will bother. Japan discipline is indeed PRAISEWORTHY
Bosonian wdym 💀
I had lost my key to the chain but I had to go into the store, so I wrapped the chain just to fake it as being locked. I came back in 10mins and couldn't find my bike anywhere! Safeway Edmonton Canada

NO MERCY and start a fight

Makes sense
russian kids: our shirt
Please let the hostess know that I admired how calm and patient she was with the children there. I know we tend to be our own worst critics, but she looked quite lovely. I'm impressed by her skills and her gracious nature.
what a waste of money...
@@campkira what do you mean?
she disciplined her children well.
@@campkira you are a waste of money
@@campkira Raising you? Yep your parents did waste their money for a judgemental freak like you.
I love how they all say "mmmmmm" when they agree on something
I actually thought it was cringy, after a while...
ah aha, mee too
I just saw a very interesting video on this and how it’s very important in Japanese conversations for people to chime in when someone makes a statement it’s seen as very polite. A very endearing quality, the self agreeing head nodding “mmmm”
In Portugal, that "mmmm" usually means that you disagree with what was said, unless you nod a yes or put a break in between the mmmm, like mhmm.
So it's kinda funny to see people say that in Japanese since it looks like they are always disagreeing with each other
that is indeed a way of agreeing, but you can also say “はいい” (haii) which means yes ! !
Even Japanese parties are very tamed and informative, here in the Philippines just plug in the karaoke then its already a party!
Damn straight.
That’s right 😂
Everyone is suddenly a singer especially the Tito’s and Tita’s ugh I miss being in Phil with my cousins
Cambodian parties are like this too, with tons of food and drinking in the mix😂
My wife(japanese) had a karaoke system in her place too
I love how respectful and well mannered the children are.
Children are always only mirrors from society. Adults always forget this...
While in America we promote thots with onlyfans
King iBeezey you’re too funny😂. One thing to take note of is that You can’t compare teenagers to younger children and many kids actions around their parents are very different than their actions around their friends or on social media!
Tori Balla ya but what’s becoming accepted in our culture is the downfall.
King iBeezey I’m kind of confused of what you mean by that exactly but I definitely think it all goes back to who you surround yourself with and remember that one child/person cannot be a reflection of the society as a whole because that’s simply a generalization!
My question at the end, "What's a house party like where you're from?" obviously is a very different question now than was intended back when I filmed this. Only a couple weeks has passed, yet the world is such a different place. Our family has been on self-imposed isolation for a bit now, seeing how things have gone around the world. Keep safe everyone and I hope this can bring a bit of lightness into your lives for a brief moment. - Greg
For my family, when we get invited it's a Cantonese party so there's a lot of food. People bring a plate of food and the kids get shuffled to one room, and we just go on our electronics.
The parents either go talk with friends, spill tea or the more drunk members go sing karaoke up until 2 am
I’m only watching as you immediate family are in there always post wiv them
I'm african canadian and we are VERY loud at house parties. We always have enough food to feed an army and we play a lot of card games (and everyone cheats lol). As the night went on we usually just slept over at the host's house.
I'm from South Africa and generally a dinner party is just a braai - a bunch of people gathering around a fire pretending to grill meat and talking about emigration, the rugby and latest political scandal
Everyone gets really drunk and fills up on crisps while waiting for the meat to cook.
Some people take the food prep seriously and make the best grilled meat dishes you've ever seen.
I like to party alone. After a hot Summer's Day in the cool of the evening I take a shower put on my jammies get out my ambrosia salad, light a candle, put on some classical hymns, and read my Bible. I have peace Beyond peace in these times. Of course if anyone would like to join me they are more than welcome
That one kid so proud of his takoyaki was awesome
In India too it is like this almost..like we with our relatives like my mother's sisters families etc gather in a house and cook food together...Now a days we are ordering food from out like naan or biryani.
And we get an ice cream family pack.
And children form a group and gossip or play.
Elders too talk forming groups based on age.
We too sit down on floor and eat as ppl would be more..We sleep adjusting in the same room sometimes that night by spreading blankets on the floor..Children would be requesting one another to stay for the night...It's fun
Those cousin stays where nobody would actually sleep and chit chat goes and ghost stories were must
I remember playing uno with my cousin at 1 am lmao ( and yes I’m an Indian too )
And then we grow up with these memories being the only vestiges of innocence left in us.
Sleeping with cousins on floor used to be so amazing!! Refreshed my Diwali memories!
But u eat with the hand that wipe the arse! That’s the major difference lolz
Your sister in law is a wonderful woman, she truly cares about friends and family
Remember who you are, Simba
Omg I wasn’t ready for Shin and Aiko to be so grown up oh my god nostalgia. I used to watch you when I was like 7 😭😭😭🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
Omg same she was like so cute and small
And a little shy
I agree my first time watching this channel was Japanese breakfast
Which one
Same
OMGGG sameeee
They are both so grown up
༎ຶ‿༎ຶ
I feel so old lol
I once steamed broccoli and then dumped it in a shallow platter. My Japanese grandmother was appalled and told me to make it look presentable. This was over 25 years ago. Now I have the tendency to fancy up my food and I think of grandma every time I do it🤗
thats so sweeeeettttt
The atmosphere was so cheerful that i couldn't stop smiling throughout the whole video
I love how engaging the children are, if my family host a party like this these days the kids will just sit in a corner playing with the iPad :(
While the kids do get involved with some of the cooking, they do also spend lots of time on their screens!
it’s still kinda the same honestly
I love everything about this video and the others. In my family, my kids help out with family gatherings too but they do get a lot of screen time too. Lol
Reduce the size of your house by 70% and see where that gets you.
It really depends on how much time you allow them on the phone
Oh, so this is what having a not dysfunctional family looks like.
Fled From Nowhere this hit hard
You hit hard huh hard times for some
Goddammit doomer
This hits hard
Ouch your comment just prickled me
"Isn't octopus gross?" Mom replies, "Don't take the octopus out when you eat it! It's pricey!" lol, I laughed so hard at that.
This is my kind of party. A never ending food.
Also my kind of party where everyone knows each other. I will never understand the appeal of big parties where most people are strangers.
“The food never ends” ... sounds like my kinda party.. forget dancing just eating 😂
Wow so quirky indeed
Lmao same . My birthday party last year was basically food . No dancing or anything 😂😂
These damn American kids wouldn’t appreciate the food and as they’re eating they’d be playing with their IPhones...ya their spoiled it’s got to be the latest model
@@vrinda9999 you are like me in my birthday no friends only food1 no dance only food eaten by me 🤣😎🤣🤣🤣🤣 I dont have friends
go to filipino parties. the whole town gets invited, they block the streets to set up tables. then take home leftovers. It was so weird when I came to America, and food was not the highlight of a party. That is the only reason to attend parties for me, so i never go to American parties haha
The first similarity i see is that kids sit on the kids table. adults have the high ground.
@Tesla-Effect exactly
I always sit at the kids table, and I am 41. Being an adult is over rated, and kids get dessert first.
The Tragedy of Darth Vader: Anakin grew up too fast and should have spent more time at the kids table lol
I’m Asian-American. Although, growing up I always sat at the “Adult Table”. On the rare occasions when we would go out to eat, I never had the kids menu. I ate luke a normal human. I also ordered my food. Now that I’m older, I’m extremely glad! It helped shape my personality.

Anyone else come back to this video multiple times during quarantine or lunch/dinner by yourself to get a sense of gathering again?
The guy at the end IS INCREDIBLE. Mushing that entire hand size "temaki" sushi into his mouth is the video embodiment of me eating leftovers at 3am in the morning. Btw, nice video Greg!
Clarissa Elizabeth lol a laughed so hard 😂
Sushi Hamburger, temaki portion roll, man sushi is something you can eat as a snack, but also have creativity on the culinary world
That bike shot was GORGEOUS, Greg. As usual, congrats on making such high-quality videos. Also, why is everyone in your channel so adorable? lol xoxo
where is the location? it looks amazing!
I really wish america was more like this... riding bikes and so warm and traditional etc
Yeah America has no boundaries and no morals whatsoever, people need to learn from them. Japan is my dream place, I hope to go there some day!
Can't have nothing nice in America! I once left my hobo bag at the library and when I finally realized like ten minutes into walking home, I turned around and headed back, someone already snatched it. It was a good thing I didn't carry my money or anything important in the bag. But it still was sad.
PinKPunk everybody gangsta until a 7 foot giant starts stalking you
Yes, I agree. America isn’t safe, you leave something out for a second, your turn around, and your belonging is gone. I also wish in America that biking would be a common transportation rather than cars and that you wouldn’t worry about leaving things out or waking alone at a specific time ( such as night).
@@prosperitae_3493 It isn't just America, it is everyone. A lot of countries have it worse.
I love how their "big bag" potato chips are my personal sized ones
Personal?! 😱 Surely lasts at least 3 days, right?
@@Kkstgch i buy a bag of cheetos the same size as the bag of Japanese Chips, and I am done with it by the next day. I don't get full easily
@@Kkstgchm done with that bag in 1 hour max. Especially Lays Cheese and Onion
Aiko is so pretty! Can't believe she is a teenager now. time flies so fast.
Ahhh your sister-in-law seems like such a sweet person ^^
She is!
So cool! My house party is like your sister-in-law’s. Always good, talking, the hostess is always cooking up a storm, the kids help or go play, the women gather up in the kitchen to see if they can help while the men search for us women. It’s always super fun and very home warming. I miss my house parties. We normally play DND or board games.

As an a Japanese/American that sounds like a hell of a night!
I’m Japanese but I haven’t lived there since I was three years old due to my parents job. Even though they tried to keep me in touch with my roots, it was not possible to know how life actually felt like there. Now that I don’t live with them it feels specially rare to see, eat or hear Japanese stuff. It’s nice to see the culture in your videos and they also remind me a lil bit of my families’ houses. Thx!
This is a wonderful distraction from our current isolation situation. Keep safe and thank you for this, Greg!
When she was cooking the beef, I could just imagine how good it smelled
In our family, a party never ends till there is atleast one familial argument while kids don't give a damn about what elders are arguing over because that's how our elders show their love to each other. Atleast that's what they say😂
I’m Japanese/ American Italian so I know both sides lol.
This is awesome. Probably one of the most wholesome family oriented videos I've seen.
Your sister-in-law is an amazing hostess! And a great cook! Loved seeing everyone pitch in to help out in the prep. Great video!
how did those kids crack the eggs so well, I'm over here with a smashed egg on the side
update: after 2 mins of actual practice and 15 eggs i have now mastered it, crack on a flat surface
Samee
blackbird7342 next time make sure you crack your eggs on a flat surface. Hope this helps alittle.
Silly billy
It's really easy to not break the yolk but idon'twannabrag
@@The.Original.Potatocakes The crack will not be as clean as on cracking it on a thin surface.
Kids are well behaved also. Here in the states, damn kids would be running all over the damn place.
And breaking household objects, as well as playfighting
I don’t know where u live but where I live (U.S as well) kids are nice over here
Kids will be kids
@@Woozi_Lover maybe thats because the Kid minds more mature and know when to be Childish and when not too... 🤔🤔
RizS yes depends on the kid and parents
I love these kinds of parties with lots of food and just eating comfortably in winters .
Tell your sister in law that "she looks fine from all angles"--(Said some American).
I'm going to try hosting one of these parties when the quarantine is over.
Good luck, remember the beef need to rest after cooking
Lol
Wow! Your son has grown so much. It has been awhile since I’ve watch your videos. Blessing to you and your family.
Goodness the kids have gotten so big!!!! If we weren’t in quarantine I would of loved to be at this party. Hope you and your family are staying safe and healthy.
Her reaction at 12:20 cracks me up so much it's so cute 😂
🤣🤣🤣ikr
I can't sit when hosting guests either, it can be a chore! She prepared so many good dishes!
In Poland typical family meeting (at least in my family) starts with the dinner. Traditional, or rather mainstream dishes are 'rosół' and 'schabowy', you can google that to find out how does it look like, we don't really need many dishes because slavic cuisine contains a lot of fat compared to the Japanese one, so you are full after just 2 dishes. Next is desert, typically cakes called sernik, szarlotka or mazurek, mostly they are home made. Usually we don't dance either, unless there is vodka on the table 😉 All jokes aside, alcohol is part of the culture in Poland, so we find it normal to drink in such as parties. Then it's the time for supper: sałatka jarzynowa - vegetable salad with sausage, cheese, white bread etc. In the summer the supper is BBQ in the backyard, btw this is normal to change the spots of meeting, eg. from living room to the backyard, from backyard to the neighbour's backyard and so on. I really enjoy my family reunions for many reasons like meeting my cousins, and I think this is the same all around the world 🥰
Lmao this sounds a bit like how my ukrainian family celebrates parties, i only regoniced the word sernik, honestly best dessert. Also true, slavic cuisine has alot of fat, and meat compared to other countries/cultures, like salo for example (if you never tried it i recommend you do, goes good with onion and cooked potato)
I’m two months late to comment but come to Japan and I will show you good time and make you eat all the food. The only thing is if I ever come to Poland you show me a good time and make me eat all the food haha. The best parties in any country are the ones among friends and family. Greetings from Japan! All the best to Poland!
Wholesome quarantine content...this has me longing for my friends and our happy social interactions😍
Oh God I just love watching videos expressing social and cultural diversity!I honestly don't think I could eat half of the things japanese people are used to consume, and I absolutely love that!The fact that people are so different yet we can all feel a connection when we see other humans spending quality time with their family and friends and just being happy and content it makes me feel so good!🥺
There was a very welcoming and fun video to watch, not only because it's a new experience, but with the whole party smiling and having a genuine good time. My wife is from Germany and I love all cultures and seeing what social events take place.
Thank you
I really enjoyed being invited to this house party! Amazing food, great friends, family and talking bad about husbands!! 🤣
See now THAT'S an amazing party!
All enjoying the food, talking, playing games etc.
This made me miss my Grandma. She host the best house parties for our family. For fiestas she gets at least 2-3 other grandmas to help out and prepares the food days before the party. We’re Filipino so sometimes she hosts 50-100 people and we help out by giving drinks. Food just keeps on coming out from the kitchen and I never see her complain. She’s just so happy to make everyone happy. Since she passed away the parties aren’t the same but she she left us with all the best memories. 🥰
A house party in California now involves a lot of skype.
Or zoom
Greg, surprisingly house parties in Japan are quite similar here (not teenage parties or frat parties) here it’s all about getting together with friends you already know and Food, Food, Food! Usually friends also arrive early and help out with prep work as it’s part of the fun and social. We tend to drink quite a lot of wine and Prosecco / cava and there might be some party games or board games and a little bit of dancing. There is usually and equal amount of desserts as the main food too!
Can I just say that I love the kids, they seem so sweet and well behaved. Looks like they really are having fun, while they are included into every aspect of the party, that's awesome!
I've been looking for channels that give a more engaging and real view into the lives of other people. The way you make these videos is so natural, human... You're great at this. Thanks!!
I'm from Brazil~ I've been having House Parties like this with my friends for the past years, we just love to be together in a calm place. We make lots of food and talk until it's very late, since most of us are introverts, we usually don't go out. Sometimes we play some games and dance to our favorire songs, but we usually get really full with food very soon, so we just end up watching a movie afterwards😅
True. But our food is very different from theirs, I think we have more caloric snacks like coxinha (♥️) than healthy ones 😅
I'm self-isolated in Australia, with no Japanese food, dreaming of Japan and its crazy-good food. And amazing people.
Uber eats. Honestly not being a smart arse. Just learnt I could order sushi and beer.
Now my life as a recluse is complete.
This is heartwarming. Thank you for inviting all of us to the party.
The house is so full of love god willing it stays like that
What a wonderful show. I enjoyed your family's party. In southern Louisiana, parties at home are similar, but space in less of a limitation. We frequently cook out of doors on the patio and set up tables in the garden area with chairs and guests just fill their plates as they wish and conversation abounds. Sometimes the guests will bring dishes too, especially if it is a family party. Dancing is not normal for the garden; dance parties are more for dancing and eating hors d' oeuvres or canapes and cocktails inside a large venue. Can't wait for the next show. I can't believe your children are so big! Best to the family.
I love how there is a sense of teamwork in children and family! And obviously they eat healthy at parties! ❤
I used to live in japan as a exchange foreign student and im having this nostalgic feeling because of the food. We ALWAYS have parties with other japanese students and they are all so generous with the food. Sushi platter is a must in a party hahaha. They also drink green tea as their "coke". Japanese food is really undescribable. I will legit go back to Tokyo sooon
perfect to watch when you are locked inside, and you are by yourself on your birthday....THANK YOU GREG and AUNTIE. xxx
It's aiko, shin, and shoko! Good to see them growing up nicely 😊
This video made me so happy, and also very hungry. Your sister-in-law seems so great!! It looked like a super fun house party. I love all the food!!
That's such a chill party. Everytime my family has had one, it's insanely loud b/c the music and pretty disorganized and my mom is shuffling back and forth from the kitchen with various foods. Some people are outside or in different parts of the house and the kids are normally chilling in their own space playing video games.
I've been rewatching this vid because it looks so fun and i never get bored also, Akko trying to compose herself infront of the camera and trying to keep her good angle is so cute!
I love how artistic and meticulous they are with the food. They really seem to appreciate it.
Is it common in Japanese culture to have so much food to choose from or to eat so much in general? So much food was also prepared and eaten in the camping video. That's why I wonder if this is a typical Japanese thing or maybe just done in your family. Thanks for the insight into japanese Party culture :)
when I lived and worked in Japan, picnics and gatherings that I've been to was always like this. (^-^)v
i think in japan, they prepare a variety of foods but no one eats big portions of anything, so you can have a little bit of many things :)
anna fact
I've been asking about this. It suppose it depends on the host. But my wife was explaining to me that you wouldn't want to have a situation where two guests are trying to decide who gets the last bite, or that someone still feels hungry, so you always want there to be food available. From my limited experience in maybe a dozen households, I don't think the food was ever lacking at any of these little get togethers.
I think it's an Asian thing. House parties are basically for families and close friends so you don't go cheap with ingredients. The recipes are elaborate and varied and quantities are large. Not having enough or not having somebody's, especially a senior family member's, favourite dish is to lose face - at least in my circle.
The food looked amazing!
The party looked like a really enjoyable gathering. Getting together with close friends for a meal and to relax and catch up on each others' lives is something I miss right now!
Gorgeous family gathering. I miss my Mum and her incredible Japanese cooking and her family dinner parties. Thank you for sharing with your video. Your sister-in-law is beautiful too. 💗🌟
That was a clever way to sneak Audible onto us. 🎧🥰💖
I love learning about other cultures. I love how the food brings them together. The food never ends like in Mexican culture. 🥺🥰
Glad to see you all getting together and having a good time!
Omg! I’m from Norway and I love Japanese culture ! This is so fun to watch, everyone coming together and making stuff together! ❤️ hope you had a great time ! Love your videos 💕
omg ur sister in law was so worried abt her looks 😞 she’s so pretty 🥺🥺🥺
In Germany, where I'm from, my houseparties are not much different. The host prepares a lot of food (I'm known for always preparing too much o_o') and when the guests arrive, we eat, drink and talk with each other. I always try to be ready with all the food preparations, but that's something I never get done. So friends offer to help with the cooking and some of us cook together, when the food is ready, everyone eats. And after some time we reach snacks like potato chips, pretzel sticks and so on. Depending on the season we're in, there are often some fruits that are prepared after the "main food" like watermelon or pineapple. And often we have some cake at last. With my friends, it's not so different like where you're from, sometimes we just get together to make pizza together or something like that and yes, we just like to enjoy our time together, talk, eat and sometimes play some games (like werewolf or in smaller groups even board games). So, that's it! Thank you for that great video, I enjoyed it.
Thank you so much for filling this !! I love watching what life is like in other parts of the world. 😄
Your sister-in-law just got a new fan! I love her grace and energy. Hope she's doing well. Please bring her back in future videos!
shin would definitely be a heartthrob at their school when he's older
Why must I watch these shows while working on calendaring at 1 AM, and STARVING?!?
Its always a blast to watch your video! I vicariously live through you. Your show is wholesome (rare nowadays) and makes me want to visit Japan! I definitely have to hunt for or learn to make Oden one of these days. Your sister-in-law is a great host. Every entree looks delicious! Great job everyone👍🏼
This was one of your best videos! I enjoyed watching the behind the scenes of the dinner party!
THE EFFORT PUT IN BY EVERYONE IS SO WHOLESOME
0:20 man that handwriting is so pretty, I hope I can develop my Japanese handwriting like that eventually
I am slowly falling in love with this channel. I have an infinity with Japanese culture since birth and would love to spend time there. I want to learn everything about it and this channel gives me a nice slice every video. Great work.
Thanks for a wonderful visit. I felt like I was there and I really injoied being with your friends and family. As a person who likes being alone, your sister in law’s party was comfortable and friendly. Peace
After being the host of my departing Japan party, I am happy how well I, INADVERTENTLY, followed the procedure. So much better than some other parts of my stay xD
I love the biking everywhere and she didn’t lock up her bike love the trust
Wow, the food and interactions are so incredibly different from what I'm used to experiencing in New Zealand. It's like a different world. Thanks for sharing, this video was eyeopening!
I forgot to mention it was so nice seeing the kids! They've grown so much! Thanks again!
wow, she throws some awesome parties! glad you could share with us.
this makes me miss my host family from japan so much! we used to have a house party like this as my farewell before i leave and we made takoyaki together. honestly the best homemade takoyaki i had.
I showed my mom this video, she got obsessed and now we binge you guys together! I'm watching this on my tablet and she's watching another one of your videos on our TV!
I miss living in Japan. Loved the food choices and shopping. The people are so amazing!
This reminds me of my parents, they spend most of the party fixing food and tidying haha, I’m realizing that I’m becoming the same as them 💕
so the party is basically about eating.... totally fine with me....
What a beautiful little park at the opening of the video.
it's so cool to see what house parties have in common and what are different. I think at the core of it, there's people coming together to spend time with each other, and have some good food of course ^^
the house parties we hosted when i was a kid where full of people, there'd be friends in the living room, kitchen, and the back yard. typically the adults and dads would be predominantly in the backyard, my dad liked to be in charge of grilling. my mom would either be in the kitchen or going between all the rooms. there would probably be at least one large radio/cd player around blasting latin music. often people would bring dishes like mac n cheese, coleslaw, and taquitos, stuff that could easily go on the side. my brother would run off with his friends into the neighborhood at some point around sunset, but i was little so i couldn't leave. usually once food was finished off some of the adults would chill in the backyard, drinking beer, and just, talking. i would typically be playing with whatever kid got brought along by their folks, sometimes i wouldn't even know them hahah! my parents had a lot of friends, most of them a few or more years younger than them, so most of those kids were younger than me. but we got on fine and i always had fun.
we haven't had a house party in a long time. i think the closest thing was my graduation party a couple years back, but that was pretty much just My friends and we just ordered pizza. It'll be nice, after all this covid19 stuff is resolved, to try and plan a party like this, i miss that.
