I currently work full-time in Japan as a "Salary Man" but I'm on my way to becoming a full-time creator and contribute to society through making content that I believe in and matter to me.
This is my dream and I know I won't be able to make this happen without the support from each and every one of you. So it would be great if you could support my life journey by joining "The Community".

A minimalist that is low functioning and doesn't have pour over coffee is a minimalist that I can relate too!
Hahaha thanks for watching this video!
"I don't do anything"
Minimalism at its best
uP
Haahhaahah
couldn't agree more
i've been a minimalist the whole time omg
The Dao would be proud
I hope you guys enjoy watching this video like I had so much fun editing this :)
皆さんお疲れ様です！

Love from India.
Say what you want, but this guy made a toast in a microwave 😄
Hahaha that's such a good point! I didn't even notice that it was bizarre until you mentioned it lol
I think ita a conventional oven which toasts
its like a convection oven kinda thing
and the button he presses literally says toast
@Leo there are microwaves in japan that are both microwaves and toaster ovens. You take out the metal plate when you want to use it as a microwave and change the mode.
This guy could be Japanese Batman with that deep voice, strong jaw line and impressive physique.
haha
We have a Japanese Spider-Man, so a Japanese Batman seems like the next logical step haha
lmaoooooooo
Battuman
I don't know why is this on my recommendation but I clicked because I'm also a minimalist and interested in Japanese culture.
The Japanese style of minimalist aesthetics is fascinating to me. It's clearly distinct from from post-WWII Western minimalism and Scandinavian minimalism - Japanese minimalism is unmistakably Japanese and has a long history, culture and philosophy. It gets a lot of things right that Western minimalism and simple living doesn't. I also greatly appreciate Japan's love of craftsmanship (takumi), imperfection (wabi-sabi), space (ma, tokoro, ba, and wa), and the Japanese arts of refinement: kodo (incense appreciation), ikebana (flower arranging), and chado (tea ceremony). There are some parallels in the West but they aren't as culturally entrenched.
I'm sorry, this guy is so attractive it hurts. 😍
🤣🤣
Absolut so 🔥 😍
Then you should meet me…you will melt from my attractivemness
@@a.g.4843 hey, if you give me the digits I got the time
Yess he is❤🤗🥰
A nice young man. Freedom from possessions allows for other things in life. The time working for the money to buy, maintain, and care for objects becomes time to live doing other things. I've spoken to homeless people and some said they feel free from burden of possessions
This was a very fresh approach to minimalism, thank you! I appreciate your honesty and openness about your life and minimalism.
I stumbled across this video midway through a bit of a mental "I am a terrible person, everyone else has their lives together and mine is a mess" spiral, and started watching it feeling bad and expecting the video to make me feel worse (as most of these videos are of incredibly unattainable or highly productive lifestyles!).
Instead, it started with the phrase "I don't do anything" and instant coffee.
I know you'll likely never see this comment, but thank you so much for making this video - it's so refreshing to see a more "normal" day in the life video. As soon as I'd watched the first 30 seconds, I started to feel better (your voice is so soothing!). You seem like such a lovely, genuine person - I'm now subscribed, and am looking forward to following and supporting your journey through RUclips!
Such a lovely comment, you seem like a genuine person yourself
Lol most people don’t have their life figured out
I don't define minimalism as "not doing anything" but in taking joy in the small moments of experience in life like reading, gardening, art, walks in nature, etc.
i love drinking coffee and went on to make an instant coffee! HAHHAAHAHA i was expecting some barista shit!
You are such a wise, humble young man! I really thoroughly enjoy your videos and find them interesting, informative, refreshingly different! Thank you so much for sharing visions of your life and offering us glimpses to how to live differently!
I remember John Lennon said that minimalism is the solution to a happy life and it's budget friendly.
Wow, you don't say. It seemed that when he and Yoko Ono were Married and living in The Dakota, he had a sense of calmness and peace a real Zen quality. He learned about Budget Friendliness when The Beatles were still in litigation over their breakup and his Accounts like Paul's were Frozen.
John Lennon was a piece of crap and a horrible father.
You have a fantastic sense of humour and I am really enjoying watching your videos. Great perspective on your own minimalist journey.
Thanks for watching this video! Appreciate your comment :)
That’s dope ! I’m in the process of eliminating all types of clusters in my life. Hope the best for your channel !
I love this genuine and honest approach. Subscribed!
Cheers for subscribing to my channel :)
"I don't do anything."
That's a thumbs up from me.
This is so (unexpectedly) real that I kinda love it for that side alone. This guy drinks instant coffee !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Totally can see myself in it. Then the idea of "many people become professionals and have a lot of knowledge in their field even when they don't like it simply because they show up everyday at work" really kicks me. It's a very rational and responsible way to look at the job that comes to our hands and treat it with respect whether it'd be of our taste or not. A very condense and useful 11-minutes video. Wishing you all the best with your RUclips journey ♡
Great video, Sena! :) Thank you for sharing your perspective and keep developing at your RUclips channel! Greetings from Poland 😁
Great content man! Hope you keep putting stuff out there.
This is a great video and thank you! I’m having trouble being minimalist or organized lol but this is a great way to learn on how to become a better person.
You have helped me find more peace. I suffer from ptsd and many other issues from the service and being minimal feels so good to me that I am able to pick up and leave and no one would know i was ever here.
Thank you so much for talking your time to watch this video!
I can't imagine what you've been through from the service but it's amazing how you have found piece within yourself through being minimal :)
I am slowly tranforming my life in a more minimalist setup (started during the pandemic, I donated a lot of my old clothes, sold some of my book collection, etc.), and it’s nice to see how people all over the world do it haha
Great video! Liked your analogy about eating when still full / having excess stuff. Also enjoyed what you said about showing up everyday with your hobbies etc
First video I’ve watched of yours and subscribed. Very interesting guy, plus the fact I have an affinity for Japan and all things Japanese. Very inspiring for simple living. Love from Scotland.
Good work man, authentic youtubers are what we need!
This guy is so attractive! I really like the minimalist lifestyle, unfortunately, my family are hoarders! They make my place so cramp up.. it’s horrendous! I’m constantly packing after them but its never enough.
Smiling, laughing out loud...we love your sense of humor and authenticity. :)
I really liked this video, there's a charm to it that I can't quite explain
What an awesome video! I learnt so much about minimalism!
Thank you so much for watching this video!
You are such a lovely and funny man! I Like the way you are honest and natural when telling us about your Life! Nadia it's really lucky to have you! Love from Patagonia
Nice approach to minimalism. Thank you, friend for sharing.
Cheers for watching this video!
I once watched one of your video when you were in New Zealand with a beard, and here you are in Japan. I am not mad at RUclips reco for once. You look good bro, like relaxed and way more in peace👍.
Hahaha, thank you for your comment!
I am from the Philippines and I really like ur vids and the concept of minimalism. New subscriber here as well ❤️🎉
Amazing blog man! Looking forward to new videos!
Enjoying your thoughts. Thank you
Really enjoyed this video, love the whole concept of minimalism and this was very achievable, once you mentioned that you had lived in New Zealand I could recognise a slight Kiwi accent.
Thanks for sharing! great value of minimalism
I am curious about life minimalist . It is Interesting your experience with humor. Thanks !
usually never like any videos and just skip through videos, but looking at your channel i actually considered subscribing. really liked that video gonna check out some of your other videos too
living a simple life and focusing on the thing I am doing... I got so impressed with the way you live. thanks.
Minimalism is a state of mind- and it takes practice.
Also: Your combination of Kiwi and Japanese English accents is simply fantastic.
Im a minimalist except for food, because I prioritize health.
Good for you!
I've thought of sleeping on a shikibuton. I have disc injuries in my back and lower neck. Supposedly a firm bed would be helpful. I'm 41 and in Texas. Of course, I also like how minimal it is. I like the feel of rooms with only floor seating too. Very nice!
I'm starting to like these RUclips recommendations, minimalist folks are amazing ☺😊
this is like the actual minimalist that's relatable like look at his things they're easy to find and buy and his routine is actually doable
Woah, amazing! I had a fair idea you must’ve stayed in NZ due to the taonga (greenstone) around your neck! Cool bro! Your culture is so beautiful. I’m wishing you an awesome, safe and bright future. 😄
Great insightful video. Enjoyed your thoughts on minimalism. Also, strangely, I immediately noticed the flat “i” sounds of your New Zealand accent. G’day from a new Aussie subscriber :)
New subscriber here from Manila Philippines. I started to be a minimalist after loosing a job because of the pandemic. Now I am very much contented with I have it inspires me more to do great things and have more time with friends and family. Not having much and living a simple life gives me more happiness. Looking forward for more videos and tips from you. Keep up the good work!
Haha! Even before you mentioned NZ I was like, that accent sounds very familiar... I’m a kiwi 😊
Hahaha cheers for watching this video! I miss NZ already!!
Thanks for the insight Sena. For some reason when I see Japan it looks like home even though I have never been there!
Thank you for watching this video!
This video made me realize cleaning once in a while is a good thing.
You have such a Kiwi accent Lol!! Keep up with the RUclips videos man! I miss living in Japan..had to move back to NZ because of Covid :-(
This must have taken so long to film and edit 😅 I hope you enjoy the process! I tend to really dislike filming and editing typical RUclips videos that involve presenting an idea with talking. It takes so much effort to make a video that communicates effectively but is also aesthetically pleasing and creatively filmed and edited. So good job! I hope it pays off. You clearly have done the work.
Thanks for watching this video and your comment!
Hahaha, I definitely enjoyed the process of creating this video :)
Thank you so much for sharing your life
Cheers for watching my video!
Your english is really good! like your videos, hope to see more
I am not really a fan of minimalism because I find joy in deciding what to wear/eat and spontaneity. A lot of minimalists on social media are very harsh and austere (imo) with their approach too. But I instantly subscribe to your channel upon watching this very first video because your approach to minimalism is so relaxing and liberating. 💖
I love the video it's so realistic... Just subscribed. ♥
Cheers!
Very interesting! Thanks!
New to watching your videos and I like your take on minimalism, I’m a work in progress living simply with kids but I’m determined 😊
Cheers for watching this video!
You’re so cute! Thank you for being so open and sharing😊 ありがとございます
New Subscriber, now I am will be binge watching. Thanks for posting.
Appreciate your support :)
I like the sign on the door reminding you to take your mask with you. Good idea!
Loved this video. And the accent😍.
Well done man!!!
Thanks for sharing
6:05 wasn’t expecting to hear Jobby’s theme, but a welcoming one
lmao I was looking for this haha
wow it is the best video for me , already subcribe brother and hope to see you one day either in japan or in my country .
Hello, It's such useful stuff for me. Thank you a lot. ありがとう
I love your aspect. Flighting!!!
I love his kiwi accent.. or is it him that i love? ☺️
A bit sad that he already has a girlfriend, hehe.
His accent is not pure Kiwi. It sounds a lot Kiwi and a little bit something else 😊
hahaha
@@judylloyd7901 he probably moved around a bit growing up!
ミニマリズムに対する、世成さんご自身の考えが聞けて良かったです。字幕も、いつもありがとうございます。
動画のご視聴有難うございました！
楽しんでいただけて良かったです：）
Very nice vídeo. Thanks
キットカットの流れに笑いました🤣
これからも更新楽しみにしてます🥳
これからも宜しくお願いします！
Loving his New Zealand accent! 😊
ミニマリストは物捨ておじさんではなく、何より物のありがたさを感じることが本質ですよね^ ^
セナさんみたいな、生活の不便を解消し、目標に集中するための補助的なミニマリズムを目指して頑張ります！
自分が好きな楽しい生き方をできればいいですよね！
Fun to be here😃
Wow man.. pure admiration for your decision.
I have the same sign on my door reminding me to wear a mask 😅 just in case. This video provides such a helpful perspective for me, as I am planning on moving to Japan next year, and have been paring down little by little over the years in preparation. Like you, I can be quite stubborn and I will admit that it has taken me a long time to get to my current mindset. Wonderful video and I hope you and your partner are staying safe during this time!
That moment at 0:25 😆😂😂😂 that's definitely me!!
Hahaha!
This is the very first time I saw a youtuber, brewing coffee the same as me. No fancy brewer. HAHA
Interesting! How are Japan and New Zealand different as far as commonness of minimalism? Happy Holidays!
Cheers for watching this video!
I don't know much about the commonness of minimalism in these two countries but I think it's becoming more and more popular among young people?
Well, I should do proper research on this haha
Happy holidays to you, too!
Great video! You just got yourself a meeting subscriber! :)
This Japanese is way too handsome so I can’t even focus to his video but his faceee omfg♥️♥️♥️
I love he attaches “mask” notification on his front door haha
very inspiring sir actually at first you are my total opposite sir but when i watch your vlog i realise im doing wrong with my lifestyle i have right now ive learn that i need to lessen all the luxury and gadgets to my life i just need to be contented for what i have right now be happy for what i have in life thanks for the video
My Japanese in-laws must me maximalists. Their house is a hoarders dream. 😹
編みものしながら、チラ見して、心地よい英語を聴いています。本来なら、毎年日本脱出して、英語を実践するのですが、今年は、残念🥲 でも、英会話の英語でない、英語が、聞けてうれしいです。
動画のご視聴有難うございました！そうやって観ていただけて嬉しいです！
今年は旅行など自由にできるようになれば嬉しいですよね：）
after he said he used to live in new Zealand i can definitely hear a japanese accent with a dash of a new zealand accent and can't unhear it
you are very insightful
My whole family has always been the opposite of minimalist, while I am one.
Rest assured: words may convince, but the example drags. After many years they have improved impressively!
If your family is like this, keep doing the right thing and your example will certainly be a positive influence!
Do you have any particular technique to define which objects do you buy or introduce in your place? How do you combine the FOMO (Fear of Missing 'Out') (Fear of Missing "The Exit")
Hi from France, thank you to share with us your minimalism lifestyle. I starter my own process of this lifestyle singe two months and i like the real benefits . My family doesn't really understand me, but i don't care. I really feel free . Tale care
Great video❤️
I like how he’s being honest with what he say and do. I tried minimalism way back 2017 and I stopped just recently because I find myself very empty. Today I rather called myself Naturalist because of how I tried to balance both side of the system. I try to keep an eye of myself not to live in clutter as well as avoid to much emptiness, just balance.
Balance is the most important value that I wanna develop in my life. When I was 15 years old, I realized that drink a lot of water is dangerous (Yeah, I was too naive). I didn't understand why, but at the age of 17 - one year ago- a friend told me this phrase: "The dose makes the poison" - Paracelso. It was moment I understood that many things in our lives have to be moderate, and I'm talkin' 'bout nutrition, exercise, work, lifestyle, life philosophy, etc. In a nutshell, I tell myself: don't be radical, just tryna find things that work for u:).
Why call yourself anything? Just be you. Perhaps ppl will call themselves Abbieists
@@newyardleysinclair9960 I’m sorry I don’t know English much
Great video 😍
I love this kind of zen thing content... Binged watch your videos... Hi from the philippines
