Oh, bless this guy! My father was a single parent and it wasn't always easy for him since he was battling depression. He was always in and out of jobs but he still managed to raise me the best he could. I only saw my mother 1-2 times a year so those times I needed her, he filled those shoes. When I became depressed myself, he knew how to handle it. He taught me so many helpful skills and also taught me how to be compassionate towards others. I love him so much.
@@rex_tonjim Yes, she is! I have spent the past 4 yrs repairing my relationship with her. It’s been really rocky because for a long time she couldn’t quite understand what mental illness was seeing that she was raised in Japan and I was raised in America. There is a stigma against it there. We are now pretty much on the same page and it’s great. And my dad, well, he is cool as always.
I hope you're doing well and your father too, mad respect for him, I really know mental illness it's not easy, tbh I'm not really well and it's quite hard for me, but seeing that other people are working on it and are sympathetic to it makes me feel a little better because I like to see people get through it, well done ♡ (sorry if I wrote something wrong, I'm learning)
Such a cute a little daughter. You can see that she's the apple of his eye and he's focused on her happiness and wellbeing. This was an enjoyable video.
I was a single mom of two kids and raised them both on my own it's very difficult so kudos to this man for taking the time to make his daughter's lunch look cute LOL
I never had a dad but this is how I picture him to be. May Hikaru be blessed in life and Emma grow up healthy and well. Thank you for sharing their story!
I'm not a single mom but my heart pours out to single parents, especially for single dads who have to raise their kids on their own. Love it that he fixes her hair even if it's a little bit messy. The important thing is, he's really making an effort 🤩
@@wixoss9893 IKR? As a person who have single mom, I hate to see that single moms get lot of hate while single dads get lot of sympathy. Double standarts? That's not fair.
So refreshing to see country style life and how beautiful she’s growing up in nature experiencing and exploring it all and of course having such a loving father!!
Maybe they thought there could be improvements. Disliking doesn't mean you dislike the people in the video, it means you dislike the production. I didn't dislike, but I can see how there could be stylistic differences for some people. I personally didn't care for the country music, and I thought the end of his day was rushed, we didn't see him doing chores or tucking her into bed, etc. His day looked pretty easy, which is not the desired point of the video. Single parents have a lot to do, and that message wasn't conveyed as clearly as some other channel's.
*If you like this story you will love the Japanese drama “Dad's Lunch Box” It’s based on a true story. The mom leaves them and he becomes a single dad and starts making the daughter’s bento🍱* *This film was inspired by a real-life story of a Japanese father who for the three years his daughter spent at high school prepared daily bento lunch boxes for her leading to delicious, interesting or* *offbeat creations. In all cases, he put an effort into equipping his daughter with sustenance for school.* *In the beginning his Bentos are terrible so he went online to get help. By the end of her high school years he was great at it and she wasn’t embarrassed about them anymore. It’s a tearjerker for more reasons than one.*
Men are really awesome with children, I remember my dad and my Grand-dad with me when I was a little girl. Mums can be wonderful too, but it's sad that people sometimes think that a father is less important.
Makes me admire my maternal grandmother evan more. She was a single mother (she become a young widow with a 6 years old daughter). On top of that she helped raising me in my first years of childhood because both my parents had to work long hours to support themselves and me. Single parents are amazing! I have my admiration for them!
Wow! He's doing very well. It's hard to be a single parent, whether you're a man or a woman in this situation. He will deal with more complicated issues in the future. I wish him health and a lot of courage👌❤️
I am crying because I never had experienced love or care from my father but I love him and I miss him and I wish I was a better daughter to him when he was alive😭😭😭😭😭
Wow! What a great Dad. He certainly devotes quality time to his daughter and this is wonderful to see. Love is the greatest gift of all, and he certainly shows this in abundance. You are a beautiful person.
This dad debunks stereotype of japanese absentee dads as he makes his daughter the centre of his world n he really knows how to make her happy by tyimg her hair,cooking bento n taking her explore outdoor.im sure she will always be daddys girl
Well, normally this is the life of mothers who struggle every day. But when it becomes to fathers is something big! Being a parent is a tought job especially when you're a single one! Parenting needs two people but I guess we have to congratulate a daddy who stays close and raise his kind! Fathers are important in kids lives and need to be there for them. Nice video, nice dad.
@Mutiara Naga and who are you to think like that? I guess nobody who has no experiences... The parent who has the kind and by law has the rights to raise it gets all the help from the services even its the mother or the father! As a clinical lawyer I deal with these kind of cases and in asien countries especially korea, china the law is more supportive to men to get the custody of children and single mothers have also a stigma!! When you become a parent you have to be close and help your kind! Both parents must raise children but in general mostly mothers do the hard work! Have you listened what he said when he was asked whats the difficulty and answered its not easy for him to meet with his friends now? When he had a wife did that easily!! Is trully that the most serious difficulty he has as a single father? Thats the reality for most single mothers!! Good for him to stay with his daughter but thats the natural thing to do!!!
He is such a great dad, he's cute and hard working he will eventually find someone who will give him all of herself, but right now he is making sure his daughter has everything she needs and wants!! That is the embodiment of a great parent!
Makes me think of my dad. I was already grown and out of the house at 20 years old when my mom died. My little sister is autistic, nonverbal, and cannot live unassisted. My dad didn't force me to care for her, instead taking over and doing it himself. He said he didn't wanna make me do it when I was just starting my life and he wanted my little sis to have the best care he could give. He now cares for my grandmother (his mom) who will be 100 this November. I feel like I don't do enough.
@@jesusisapisces no but they get a lot of praise and support because being a single parent is hard. They are doing the job that is already hard for two parents. So please be kind.
@@rubyblue7119 'So please be kind'. Go away with that fake regurgitated nonsense. I'm entitled to my opinion regardless of how you or anyone else feels.
@@jesusisapisces lol why are you triggered for no reason? I never said that you can't have an opinion, I was only responding which last time I checked was allowed.
What the lucky daughter have a great life whit a lucky father! It's true a life being à single parent is a good challenge and give us a character to recognize What the chance we have to be just happy.
Such a beautiful young girl with a awesome dad your doing so good and when it came to the part when they are on the farm and finding out dad would rather her learn out door stuff rather then be inside on phones that's how we should be raising our kids 🥰

his daughter is so adorable and cute and he is such great man.
What a caring father.so his cute daughter will have happy childhood
yeah totally agree (;
Does he have a youtube page or social media? Would be so nice to follow his journey.
@@kerryjones9912 is mentioned at the description
@@kerryjones9912 he focus more on his trade career in youtube n not his personal life as single father
Yes sirr being a single parent is hard and overwhelming sometimes but at the end of the day seeing ur kids smile totally worth it,,
Indeed

What did the father do for income? I didn't see anything.
@@earlysda 3:30
He is a trader and works from home
Kids grow up really fast, treasure every moment.
They really do grow up so fast. My son is almost 2 and I feel like he was just a little baby and now hes a toddler. 😭
They do! It’s scary I felt like I just had my son and now he’s going on 6 😩
Such a cute a little daughter. You can see that she's the apple of his eye and he's focused on her happiness and wellbeing. This was an enjoyable video.
Kids these day love to stay in door and play with gadget, I love how his daughter enjoy exploring the outdoor.
This is a truly heartwarming video. The little girl is so cute and you can see how much her father loves her.
This video is so precious 🥺🥺❤️
Also, love how Hikaru exposes his daughter to the outdoors and shows that nature can be fun!
I was a single mom of two kids and raised them both on my own it's very difficult so kudos to this man for taking the time to make his daughter's lunch look cute LOL
the fact that dad literally dedicated house and car decor to his daughters fav cartoon. is so adorable

The girl is so cute and hats off to the dad, they both are so precious 🥺
Do t know why am I in tears how can a mother leave this lovely girl. Salute to the father
shes going to grow up to be a beautiful, responsible girl! this was so sweet to watch
There is something relaxing and satisfying about watching these kind of videos, i love a simple caring life
As a father myself with a daughter around the same age, I have mad respect for this guy!
So refreshing to see country style life and how beautiful she’s growing up in nature experiencing and exploring it all and of course having such a loving father!!
What a great father. His daughter so adorable.
It's a very beautiful video! I love the painting of his car and how cute both are when they are together. The daughter's smile is so precious☺️✨
Thank you so much! Yeah he painted his car for his daughter.
@@sharoona I guessed that☺️✨ So sweet!
Is the background picture of mount fuji and a japanese building a drawing or picture?
Nobody has a car painted like that. This is obviously not your average single father!
My dad is a Widow and he raised the three of us. He did his best and we never felt like we were missing our mother. I love him so much.
Not sure why anyone would dislike, but I'm guessing you have your own demons to deal with.
There are always some stupid haters hanging around
the whole singing part wasn't necessary

Actually on youtube, there's always bots liking and disliking videos, so technically speaking no one really "disliked" the video
To those who don't know maybe the reason is because he is stealing some idea or content. The orig is paolo from Tokyo you can search him
This man is awesome and a good example to many. Keep doing what you do Hikaru!
I'm also a single mom but I'm very happy! I can understand seeing kids smile just make us forget all the fatigue and stresses!
