Hey, all. I don't know any other way to contact you. My Patreon hasn't been going through for some reason. I am trying to figure it out but they don't even have a phone number to contact them. Aggravating.
I miss Tama area. I lived there over 35 years ago near KeioNagayama next to TamaCenter commuting to Shinjuku. At that time, the train line from TamaCenter to Hashimoto was under construction. There was no monorail at the time. When I missed the last train to TamaCenter drinking a lot with my colleagues in Shinjuku, I sometimes got on a train to SeisekiSakuragaoka then walked along Irohazaka to come back home. Irohazaka is where an animation movie Whisper of the Heart took place several years after my drunk walking.
Hello Eric, this is irrelevant to this video but the hitchhiking videos back from 2016 is one of my favorite series of videos you've put out. There was kind of excitement for me seeing what happens next during your journey with a challenge in mind with days long intervals of future(?) status updates of past(?) videos as they were being uploaded in real-ish time. I remember making a passing mention of Twitch livestreaming in the comments of those videos. I just wanted to say I've been watching your Twitch streams since day one, and I'm glad to see you've come around to it and pushed through the hardships of IRL streaming. I hope to continue seeing you do livestreams, and I genuinely hope that it pays off for the both of you.
I love these explore the public transport videos! Other youtubers don't do enough of these, or at least not to the detail of you (thanks Kyde!). I've been in Tokyo several months and I love doing the same. I'm still exploring. It takes a LONG time to know a place and Tokyo is so dense with different stuffs!
The air conditioner next to the pachinko place reminds me of when I visited Japan in November 2011 after the great earthquake. There were signs in trains saying that saving electricity is important next to 2 out of maybe 20 fluorescent lights that had been removed while the wagons were still being heated up to 28°C!
Yea, haha, and they shut off escalators to "save electricity" which was a nightmare for older people but no one bothered to turn off a single vending machine, which is a heater and a refrigerator all wrapped into one box.
Love you guys! Going back and watching your early videos in 1955 or whenever. Could you please speak Japanese for a minute or two? And you guys are not awkward, you are both super cool! You are both so kind to each other. So happy you have your own home now!
Well, sir, there's nothing on earth Like a genuine, bona fide Electrified, six-car monorail What'd I say? Monorail What's it called? Monorail That's right! Monorail Monorail Monorail Monorail I hear those things are awfully loud It glides as softly as a cloud Is there a chance the track could bend? Not on your life, my Hindu friend What about us brain-dead slobs? You'll be given cushy jobs Were you sent here by the Devil? No, good sir, I'm on the level The ring came off my pudding can Take my pen knife, my good man I swear it's Springfield's only choice Throw up your hands and raise your voice Monorail What's it called? Monorail Once again Monorail But Main Street's still all cracked and broken Sorry, Mom, the mob has spoken Monorail! Monorail! Monorail! Monorail! Mono, d'oh!
Congratulations on 60k! 🎉 26:13 Don’t know for what exactly for but that thing is also used in Tibetan Buddhism and is called ‘dorjee’. The Tibetan version is usually seen in a much smaller size - about the size of an old flip phone. Small enough to hold by hand and kinda wave around, making some gestures, which I’m sure have some ritual significance.
Hi Nerd who works in a Buddhist shop here The thing translates as lightning bolt and is carried by some Buddhas a a symbol of Smiting All Evil l got a little one on my front door Love to you my favorite trivia nerds❤️🍪
It was through a train line video similar to this that I discovered this channel three years ago. Cool to see Shakes & Fries has a monorail. And here I thought the monorail to Haneda was the only monorail in Japan!
That former aircraft factory sounds like it might be a destination worth the trip... no matter the era, or type of aircraft! I would be tempted to take him up on the offer/suggestion/idea..!
Thinking that Japan's economic slump in the 00s might have played a part in the halting of the monorail's expansion. Shame, because it's a really cool system! Congrats on the 60k!
Hey, Eric, did you know there was a funeral home in the back of Curry House Zoo? I hope there is a part B and Part 3 to this vid since you are only about 1/3 of the way on the line. These station hops are nice because things can be very different from station to station (or 2). I try to mention you channel in the comments of of the other JTubers I watch, referencing something similar you guys did. Ganbatte!
The extension route to Machida has basically been decided on. However, it’s not the expected route, and will avoid some roads/infrastructure Machida already built. There is now a petition in Machida to try to do something about the financing.
Mouth-dangler thing is called a "uvula". Maybe it doesn't sound as exciting as bowl-banging, but it could still be fun to talk about things that tingle your uvula.
I saw you two in the end talking about the 60000th subscriber, congratulations! I hope you channel continues to grow. I`m subscribed for a long time, probably since you two came to Japan and there are very few content creators making videos about Japan (and other countries you go too) that I still watching since I came to live here. Your videos are interesting and genuine because it does not only portrait the anime/manga/akihabara ish style of things you find here, but you two show the Japan behind the curtain. Keep up with the good work! I hope I can bump into you guys one day somewhere! (by the way, I`m living in Yokohama now).
I remember when I was in Tokyo in the 90s and watching them building one of the elevated monorails and riding part of it. Not sure why they are so boxy and utilitarian, they should design them to look sleek and futuristic
ok i can comment now, first of all pom poko super beautifull ghibli movie. Then, will a video on the monorail cat happen in the future? third, poor crid, but i can confirm that he said he wanted to bring racheal to the park.
Oh my... Pom Poko is one of my all time favourites and yeah... got to agree with you there. Humankind seriously needs to figure out how to not only preserve but boost and restore what remains of the nature which supports us all before it's too late for our technological civilization, which inarguably brings benefits. We have to make it a net plus for more than humans too, or all of this will be a net negative for all life on the planet. :-(
Honoré de Balzac was a famous French author. He gets his own Wikipedia page. Flying tanuki Balzacs doesn’t get a Wikipedia page. That hardly seems fair.
Kyde!!! Eric!!! :) I found you recently and bingend a huge part of your videos. Maybe you (or a fellow fan) can help me here out: I was wondering if there is a QA where you discuss why you moved to japan, what you working over there, if you want to stay there or go back, are you fluent in japanese, was it hard to learn aaaaaaaaaaalllll of the questions !!!
After they traveled around the world, they decided that they wanted to move somewhere in Asia. Kyde got a job teaching English for a year in Japan. They decided to stay. Eric says they don’t make long term plans, but buying a house seems to suggest they like it (aside from living in Japan for like 10 years already). I think Kyde recently went up for her N4 exam? I could be wrong. I imagine Eric is a similar level if not a bit higher.

The AC thing is to lure potential customers tired of the heat into their shitty gambling haven. Not sure how close to it you need to be to feel any of it. Though I'm guessing if you walk into that place, you've stopped feeling anything a long time ago. So yeah, useless.
I recommend the vegetable curry from a curry shop called "プーさん" "Pooh-san" near Musashi-Koganei Station on the JR Chuo Line! It is a very delicious and very healthy curry that can only be tasted there. It's so delicious that you have a runny nose, so it's better to bring a tissue...
Ueno zoo is not a good zoo, this one is much better. Space is key to that as Tama is 130 acres to Ueno 35. It has an insectarium, main thing is year round butterflies
Well, I'm going to comment but I don't have anything substantial to say, but I'm going to do it anyway. 9 minute wait time, I'm surprised because that sounds pleasant to me. I live in Portland, where anything under 25 minutes is good, if the train/bus shows up at all. It sucks by comparison. Secondly, I ditched my smartphone (best thing I've ever done) and it weirds me out to see every person on the monorail glued to the phone. The last time I was in Japan I don't think it was such a thing. Now it just looks kind of sad to me. But I guess it's the same thing here too.
After living here for 10 years we have seen a lot of temples, and it's not our "thing" exactly, so while we appreciate them we don't often have a lot to say. -E
Anyone who thinks there’s too much development needs to use more commercial airlines. The amount of undeveloped areas in the world is massive 🏔🏔🏔✈️🏔🏔🏔 On a side note Kyde looks great in red……it’s really her color.

That cat sure wanted you to invest a lot of time in that so quickly.
you guys and your sensible portion control is inspiring to binge eaters like myself
You guys are so genius. With your editing style and narration, the ordinary life in Japan becomes so interesting.

nice! glad you are enjoying the streams, wish I had jumped into it sooner haha

I've been in Tokyo several months and I love doing the same. I'm still exploring. It takes a LONG time to know a place and Tokyo is so dense with different stuffs!
i think no matter how long you will explore you will NEVER see all of it, you can spend a lifetime exploring Tokyo and the Tokyo metropolitan area
May the boys be with you!
Glad to see your likes are growing! I feel extremely lucky/fortunate to have found your incredibly interesting quirky look at your life in Japan!
Please make more videos dedicated to food. I really enjoy watching you guys exploring different places to eat etc
We tend to include food videos inside our other videos as part of the adventure. -E
Congrats on 60,000, guys!!!!

Nice try Eric, but I'm still not going in there.
You absolutely made Racheal's day with that comment though.
Congrats 🎉 and closing in on 70k.. Yippee!
Well, sir, there's nothing on earth
Like a genuine, bona fide
Electrified, six-car monorail
What'd I say?
Monorail

Monorail
That's right! Monorail

Is there a chance the track could bend?
Not on your life, my Hindu friend
What about us brain-dead slobs?
You'll be given cushy jobs

Monorail
Once again
Monorail
But Main Street's still all cracked and broken
Sorry, Mom, the mob has spoken
Monorail!
Monorail!
Monorail!
Monorail!
Mono, d'oh!
I recognise that song thank you.
That was the first thing that came to mind😂
Another great vid, glad to see you're nearly at 61k already!!!
So much fun
If I had children I hope they’d be just like the two of you. You’re genuine and real !
Thank you for sharing 😎
Fun little adventure and close to home! Can’t beat that
That intro was so well timed! Awesome work great job!
Super interesting. Didn't know Benesse was bigger than their presence on Naoshima itself. Must ride that mono rail.
16:30 it looks like a Tasmanian Devil...
Woo-Hoo 🎉60k 🎊🎈nearing 61k...🎈
I was about to post that. They are quite aggressive, wheezing with their mouths open: hence why they're called "devils"
I love Tanukis and their amorphous erm lower organs! I think the whole world needs a tanuki life raft right now.
Don't ever stop getting distracted by things like goats! I mean they're GOATS. 😂
Used that many times to go to work in Tachikawa in 2010 from Tamacenter.
Gotta watch this later - after finishing to sing the MONORAIL Song from the Simpsons - brb.
ARE YOU GUYS ALWAYS HAPPY GO LUCKY😋
nah
Congrats to the 60k!!
Not even 10 seconds in but, goats are a welcome distraction. Edit: I was following along on Google maps and you can see the goats.

Complaining about 10m waiting time haha! I've waited 2 hours for a bus to show up! :)
Thanks Kyde and Eric another great video and congrats on the 60k subs
Those two little guys between the elephant and ostrich are tasmanian devils. Great video guys!
Congrats on 60k!!!
Holding my party favors for 69k let's goooo!
That former aircraft factory sounds like it might be a destination worth the trip... no matter the era, or type of aircraft! I would be tempted to take him up on the offer/suggestion/idea..!
Takahata Fudoson is even more strikingly impressive during the Hydrangea season in June!
Out of time for the Cat quiz as the poster says until the 30th sept. Good trip though!
It's always funny when you have to put on a mask to walk into a restaurant but then immediately take it off when you sit down. Same with the dentist.
Those mystery silhouettes at the zoo were Tassie devils
Yoooooo, CONGRATS!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉
👍🏼 on 60k!
Monorail? I like this video.
Thinking that Japan's economic slump in the 00s might have played a part in the halting of the monorail's expansion. Shame, because it's a really cool system! Congrats on the 60k!
I wish our monorail here in Seattle had a cat mascot, and more stops.
I live in NYC. A “little nicer” then the grimy subway. Enjoy seeing your takes on Japan.
great video! I really need to catch the next stream on Twitch!
Hey, Eric, did you know there was a funeral home in the back of Curry House Zoo? I hope there is a part B and Part 3 to this vid since you are only about 1/3 of the way on the line.

They are using pavlovian tacticts on the passerbys with the outside air cooler.

Japanese railways are the best. So easy to negotiate the system even if you don’t speak Japanese. Pasmo/Suica make it very easy.
I love the Tama monorail! Have you been to the Tama zoo? it's very nice and has wolves!
