COULD YOU DO IT?? Anyone who's ever seen my studio knows I would struggle lol For anyone who wants more of Sibu!! We did a full interview vid too!! ruclips.net/video/c8CQcyOCk90/видео.html Show your love to Shibu down below!!
@@408SPLKINGS And thats beautiful in many ways! If you are in peace with yourself it's really nice to live the way he lives. So i guess if people are afraid of this solitude/not at peace with yourselves/afraid of "loud" silence, then you are 100% right on that :D
I think it would actually be easier for the robber since he could open the closet and just grab all those bags with expensive equipment. He doesn't need to think too much about what to take.
@@Jinars. Hahaha you got a veeeeery solid point! Less is more. Instead of a bunch of junk, u got all the goodie in one same spot. I think they would just be confused xD
its the opposite, robbers only wants jewels and cash mostly, at least here in spain, and a tidy house like that without many stuff would save them a lot of time searching for nothing
I love this because his space is mininal but his life seems full. He has a design business, cool hobbies, essential items, fun stuff, even emergency supplies. Meanwhile my apartment is packed with crap that gives me the illusion of living a certain kind of life. Eye-opening.
Because it is an overengineered thing that fixes a non-problem. Pretty much every normal cloth shopping bag folds to pocket size, and in order to clip it nicely to your door you need a metal door. Otherwise you'll end up storing it in a cupboard/closet.
@@Volkbrecht looks like it clips to itself in the folding process which keeps things neat, and you could stick it to your fridge too. I think it's neat
@@scarlettsutherland5808 Neat, yes, necessary, no. And at a price point of 15 $, probably plus shipping, you have to want the "neat" a lot to prefer it over what you most likely already have, when you are a shopping-bag user. That's all I'm saying.
Key thing here: Places to go. He goes to sauna and baths. He eats out once a day. He practices sport at the gym. Even with a very full house, it is important to go out and have welcoming places to hang (by yourself or with friends).
Spending a lot of life outdoors instead of at home also eases the amount of items you'd need at home. Since this man mostly eats out, his kitchen is quite barebones. Not much bathing equipment needed at home, since he uses public bath. Also, reading manga and books digitally: no physical collection needed.
Yeah, more impressive than the minimalism is how he keeps so many white items clean! And when he spoke about curtains being difficult to keep clean I thought of how many people never clean their curtains anyway (incl me lol). He's an awesome dude :)
I just watched a video of two anime enthusiasts/hoarders getting arrested for child endangerment and neglect for being so gross. Somehow I found this video shortly after and wow, what a contrast! I needed this. Lol
ugh i love this and it is so inspiring in every way. i love how his extinguisher is white. i love how his hangers are metal and sound like chimes. i love his shoes. he is minimalist but his life is FULL.
I live in a 40 sq ft and with only 212 items total it indeed feels too big. Problem is, at least in EU, there is no other option. 20 sq ft or less houses are rarely available or non-existent, so you are forced to pay more rent. This is why people end up hoarding.

Tons of respect to the man for being the main user of his inventions, if you dont like what you create how can you wait someone else do it for you, a living example
I am so impressed by the pocket clothes that hold everything without showing. I use old plastic bags for trash also, I take them to outside bin, saving money, not buying trash bin or bags for inside. Thanks for this tour of his lifestyle.
Haha! Cute. Relatable. I love how you used self-deprication to express yourself (in the most gentle and humorous way) while also not trashing the opposition. I wish more people were like you. I was gonna post something about how extreme minimalism can be just as pathological as hoarding, and then read your comment and was like "why do I need to say anything?" Thank you.
Kind of strange certainly, but actually designing his own gear to be even more optimized pushes him over into brilliant. I could use a shirt like that.
i grew up with multiple hoarders in the family, a minimalist lifestyle really draws me in, truly love that he's able to enjoy his space the way he wants to
😂 Then u didnt learn nothing. This is the same thing,in opposite character 😂 Is not funny even,but i prefer them,cus they are clean,not conflict and dont make dirty in the buildings. And also no bugs because of their mess
@@MangInteresadoI think it’s all the way around. Having such an empty space forces you to confront yourself without distractions. He’s happy with himself and I hope he finds the right person for him ❤
@@DaysAreForgottenBaby well could be just like the late extreme minimalist STEVE JOBS who had only a lamp shade, stereo, a cup for tea in his mansion. then he met a lovely women who understood him. Steve Jobs also wore black clothes with same style everyday.
I love minimalist videos. It gives me something to aspire to. It feels so relaxing to be in a space without clutter and dust. Stuff everywhere is just so stressful! I have been declutterring for years. This is on another level that I will not be able to handle but still it is so inspiring.
I am in awe. I have met some really minimalist people, but Shibu has them all beat. He makes them look messy. I was blown away when he showed off his hobbies and that they fit in those small bags. He even has an extra controller! And that shirt?! I was already admiring the pockets then he goes on and sticks a Macbook into it. And that little computer that has a keyboard and a controller. I am likely his direct opposite. I see an empty space, I must fill it. My hobbies? I will have every equipment needed, lol. Another great video, Norm.
i love how he gets excited each time he gets something to show, like his mini laptop from his bag 😊 im actually looking forward to practicing minimalism in the near future when im able to
I think my desk corner alone has more stuff than he has in his apartment. That's mad impressive that he even made his own things to assist in keeping the item count down while still remaining convenient
Is it that the minimalism allows him to focus on the things that give him joy or that focusing on minimalism, in itself, is the principle thing that gives him joy? Or it just so happens that his three main passions (design, samurai theatre and gaming) don’t necessarily require a large amount of items at home or completely mesh with his love of minimalism. For example, if he was an avid golfer, he would probably be conflicted given a full golf set has tons of items (14 clubs, a bag, balls, tees, etc). I’m interested in where he keeps his tools and equipment (rented workshop space maybe?) especially if he is designing and making his own clothes and items.
@@bzomeful yes, somehow it seems a “fad” because it’s self indulgent and one has to make a special effort to be minimal which itself defeats the purpose
He may be a minimalist but it's clear he's got everything planned out to exactly what he wants and needs. It's actually kind of refreshing. I don't know if I could live the minimalist lifestyle but I could certainly cut back on a lot of things that I own
“You’ve given me an empty bag… Thank you very much. I will use it as a garbage bin!” 🤣 I LOVED this video! What a beautiful and authentic way of expressing himself through and in his home. He seems quite content (and funny!) and I admire his dedication to a quiet, still, and self-assured life 💜.
I'm impressed tbh. at first I thought its gonna be like a boring life but when he showed his camera gear, Nintendo switch, his hobbies, his products, that I'm convinced he is really enjoying his life with minimal items. Also he considers the idea of having a family with that kind of lifestyle and he is also aware and fine if he ends up growing old alone.
And just by having minimal amount of items, he isn't spending unnecessary money on fast consumerism (even his clothes were designed by himself!), which means that he can use it for items he really wants and he can either splurge or save for later use
as a maximalist, i love this guy. Bro s happy w what he's got, and doesnt deprive himself for the sake of an aesthetic or anythin. he's just vibin. and his shirt with many pockets is genius, i wish i had one lol
It's almost ironic that a maximalist would be interested in a shirt with numerous pockets designed by a minimalist to avoid the use of bags, but really, it makes perfect sense. I imagine you'd fill each pocket with little treasures for discovering later.
What's not to like? He's clean, neat, organized, clearly knows what he wants in life, interesting, funny, passionate & consistent with his hobbies, creative, tech savvy, geeky, which I like... ya, I can see many ppl liking him as a bf/husband. Just the minimalist part is a bit difficult. But hey, rooms n items can be divided n she can have her section & he'll only have to mind his part. It could work if both compromise a bit. Also, sincerely hope he sells his shirt & shopping bag. They are kinda cool.
As a woman I find him attractive. I think he’s creative, independent and has very clear ideas. Having an empty home forces us to look at ourselves, whether we like it or not. I find it fascinating and I don’t think he’s lonely at all. His shirt is the best creation ever 😳
@DaysAreForgottenBaby ya, I agree. But unlike him, I do enjoy collecting "useless" trinkets, so I just respect his lifestyle, knowing I can't/ won't do it. But those that can, might find him to be an ideal partner.
I suppose the difference in value attached to items/"stuff" can be hard. Love and compromise can go a long way, but it's such a different outlook on life... Starting a family would be very complex. How many rompers would he buy for a baby?
@@grifyn882no one said it had to be exactly like his setup, I think it’s nice to take inspiration from for the sake of mental health and getting rid of clutter.
I absolutely love this. He seems so shy yet so full of life. I lost it when he took out the cart and started skateboarding on it. Hes actually so funny and good for him for knowing what he wants!
@@evgeniizaets9243 it definitely makes life a lot easier, less anxiety when seeing how much bullshit you own, makes moving easier, makes you less of a mindless consumer, save money by not buying things you dont need, save a lot of space, you will be happier too because you don’t yearn for more things to buy that you think will make you happy etc. So many ways minimalism can make your life less stressful and a whole lot easier
Sibu is a freaking inspiration. That shopping bag of his is genius. I’ve been embracing minimalism as best I can and so far have been living with only what I can carry with me. It’s a bit freeing.
Honestly, he's so cool. To know what you want and need in life, and ACTUALLY having what you want and need in life- Yeah, it's something I definitely aspire to be.
And his talking that it is hard to find partner that would accept this type of life and don’t want to push someone to it really made me like him. I think if he finds right person and make seperated spaces for both of them it is possible. And honestly just looking at his apartment makes me feel so peasful I don’t know what it is maybe the idea how easy it must be to clean that apartment 😂
@@dianaselnekovicova948Oh yes! Huge bonus points that he doesn’t push his way of living on others and remains so respectful of others. Gotta love this man so much. He has everything in order. 🥹🥹
Although he calls himself minimalist it is interesting to see him having unusual items that he’s really into such as many kinds of spices, projector (and I think he has defuser too?) The way he lives must give him lots of inspiration! Thank you for the interesting video😆
it was really interesting to see exactly WHAT items he has attached to~ It's why I did the whole second vid just interviewing him and linked it His whole mindset was so different from me!!
While I definitely don't think I could live that kind of lifestyle, it was really cool seeing what items and gadgets he keeps in his daily life! Also, that jacket he made is so cool!
I don't think I could live like that but when I look around just my room... there really is a LOT of stuff that is just sitting there and hasn't been touched for a long LONG time. And that folding magnetic shopping bag is a very cool idea.
I also used to wear black, but after a long time the lack of color seemed depressing to me. The consistency of this minimalist is truly impressive. I think his clothes with many pockets are fantastic, very practical.
I've started transitioning to a medium grey + accent color. It blends even better than black (esp. with different shades of itself) and looks a little less gloomy.
I also want a minimalist wardrobe, but with color. I'm thinking I'll make myself some black paper bag waist pants and then for other things incorporate only my favorite colors.
A good alternative are earth tones. They also perfectly fit together and are a bit warmer than pure black. And if you want even more color, you can add pastel colors like green for example.
Give him a basket of things and he would go mad for a week how to dispose them... I bet he not only does not use his bath, but even the toilet, it is better in the gym! :)))))))))
I got a well-needed laugh that he got stopped at the airport for lack of luggage while wearing this. Makes a person rethink the concept of big luggage suitcases.
@@tarraingart Yeah I also wonder if the person in this video has had that kind of experience lol. But maybe by being minimalistic, he has become extremely mindful of what stuff he does or doesn't have; or what stuff is placed in this or that place.
His folding bag invention is so cool and useful, folding into a thin enough square that it can fit into your pocket, AND magnetized. I really love it, it's so smart!
I'm also a minimalist I literally have never felt so much better being one It's literally changed my life and while I'm proud of how I have minimized my space I find myself inspired yet again to minimize my space even more so now after watching this video.
Wow… I don’t think it’s the lack of things that would drive me crazy, it’s living in a white box 😩. I realise he has absolutely everything he needs and that is impressive.
I need that bagless shirt!!! I love Sibu's perspective when it comes to moving and realizing how many things you actually need or use in your daily life. Also love the gift you gave him! The fact that I knew immediately it was going to be used as a trash bag and was correct made me laugh out loud XD
I used to own a lot of stuff when I was a teenager. Now my room is like one third of what used to be but I still need to learn from this gentleman. Great insight 👍👍
I'm Japanese.I'm big fun of his! I watched most of his youtube. But It was first time I'd seen anything outside his room. He is the most popular among Japanese minimalists. Everyone imitates him. He's very influential. I'll check out your other videos too! Thank you for sharing the great video! ほんとに、ありがとうございます！
Putting aside he's a minimalist, he has a recognisable system to me. When I lived on my own, I can tell you, I learned so much, because you don't have time. I was studying and working. I had little time to organize and clean my home, not to mention do the groceries, laundry, shopping. Like him, I put my life in boxes. Everything is organized in boxes and baskets. I'm married now, I have decorations in our home for example, but they also have their boxes I just chuck them in when I need. This guy rotates clothes. We do that too. We have our going out clothes and the everyday clothes that we rotate (gym clothes included). We also go around thinking of ways to make our lives more effective/organized and how to get rid of things, but we are not minimalists. (The way he held his phone. My guy is young!)
He is so stinking cute! You can really tell he finds a lot of pride in keeping his space organized and small. I hope he can find someone who shares his passion but kids need stuff so that may be a issue. His bag coat is brilliant too.
This is so amazing, and he has everything he needs. I have never seen someone live this way before. He will meet the right partner for him when it is time, and it will be someone who likes to live the same way. It's even smaller than Tiny House living. Kind blessings always and thank you for sharing. Totally brilliant.
Moving in to a new place is usually one of THE most stressfull things a person can go through in life This fellow makes it look so easy. It seems minimalismd does have some good points. 😃
Read “more than you need.” Obviously “need” is subjective, but most have more than they need, which tends to require more space than is needed, which tends to cost more than they have, which tends to curtail freedom.
What a blessing. I'm not the only one. I've been traveling the world since 2006. I have been living in a new country for 3.5-5 years in different regions and cities. At the beginning, I had the usual amount of things and when I moved, I sent things by delivery. But still, every move I rethought the need for each thing, evaluating whether the thing was worth moving on with me. Then it was important for me to fit into 1 large suitcase. Now I am already an experienced minimalist. I travel with a suitcase for carry-on luggage, a musical instrument, a tea set and a supply of pu-erh (this is not always easy to find in a new country), equipment for filming, I create content and my hobby - I make sacred jewelry for prayer. All this: a suitcase for hand luggage, a bag for a musical instrument and a backpack. At the same time, the quality of my life and the feeling of comfort are always available to me.
@@RioTVEVO a Lamborghini also is not pragmatic for most people but I don't HATE the cars because of that! On the contrary. I admire them and I also respect the people who live a minimalistic lifestyle.
As someone who just moved last weekend ... I WISH I was this much of a minimalist 😅😅 we have so much stuff that I packing is taking forever! Much love from Arizona 💜💜
This is one of your best videos. It was the video that made me google and look up multiple subjects as it was loaded with good material and items. You have such a respectful demeanor.
movements and body language when being polite is really something in japan - very calculated and precise; love the coat hangers and the sounds they make. watched until the end. total freak - I love him.
I love that even though he's minimalist, he has all his hobby stuff. lots of minimalist talk about hobbies and the related things like "if you dont have 2 shirts and sleep on the ground, you aren't minimalist. you have a switch? not minimalist. go and read Thoreau or something "
I love it! I lived in a 18 square meters apartament when I was single and it was the happiest I ever was. Today I have children and offcourse I can't live in the same way, but I still hang on to my beliefs that "the things you own, end up owning you". I will teach my children to have a simple life and not get attached to things or anything actually.
I am an artist and maximalist with adhd who loves colour and the idea of living here makes me desperately unhappy 😅 however i love his efficiency and that he's designed so much of his own stuff!! I dont like waste and think people over consume, too. So i really appreciate that about him. its amazing how different people can be!!
I was fascinated to see how much he has pared down his life. Truly inspirational, I will never be able to achieve such a level but I can't wait to do a massive clear out now. 😊
He is right, we all have things that we dont need. Somethimes less, is more. My old Apartment burned down, and after losing all I owned, i realized that yiu dont need so much things to be happy. And yes, you are not alone, my clothes are also all black since 25 years.
Wow! This guy is soo innovative and interesting! I love the minimalist lifestyle because it keeps everything clean and practical. I'm sure he'll find someone to share this kind of life with. 😊
@@VR_win Lol, you're so full of shit. I love how you're apparently psychic and can tell what generation they're from. It has nothing to do with Gen Z and you know it. "Too sensitive." There's that overused, beaten to death phrase people think is a gotcha. As for your attempt at sounding superior (and failing), I doubt you would ever willingly participate in a minimalist lifestyle, hand over your phone, computer, and 90% of everything you own or shut up.
@@bellebonebag8096 actually it became popular in the art world back in the 60s. But of course, overtime it came out of the arts and started being a part of every day life. Edit : but yeah, I don’t understand how minimalism is a form of torture. I honestly think that everyone should do the less is more because we are overstimulated and are constantly pushed into believing we need more to be happy by the media.
trying to become a minimalist myself. I recently moved from a 3 room to a 1 room apartment. This inspires me A LOT! So easy with the clothes to have all in the same color. Almost no other things, only the most nessesary. Love it!!🤩
Oh goodness, this is definitely a mindset. One must have so much control. A clean way to live like a monk. I would fail epically trying to quell my inner pack rat. Lol Thank you for showing life in alternate perspectives & ways. Your videos always leave me with a new appreciation of how life can be happily lived differently: bigger, smaller, in the air, on the water, with music, full of art, simple or complicated.
While minimalism may not appeal to everyone, the reality is that we often accumulate more possessions than we truly need. Addressing this tendency is a crucial first step toward freeing ourselves from unnecessary burdens and possessions, ultimately leading to a more simplified and fulfilling life.
COULD YOU DO IT?? Anyone who's ever seen my studio knows I would struggle lol

I think my desk corner alone has more stuff than he has in his apartment. That's mad impressive that he even made his own things to assist in keeping the item count down while still remaining convenient
lol yea mine too~
Right!!?? My 5 year olds table has more crap on it than that man has in his entire house 😅 Crazy
Actually he has like 100 smaller items under the wig he is wearing!!!
I’m OBSESSED with him. LOVE his philosophy, home, projector and clothing!!!
It sounds like his sense of minimalism allows him to really focus on the things that give him joy. And I'm sure it's an enjoyable hobby in itself.
Is it that the minimalism allows him to focus on the things that give him joy or that focusing on minimalism, in itself, is the principle thing that gives him joy?
Or it just so happens that his three main passions (design, samurai theatre and gaming) don’t necessarily require a large amount of items at home or completely mesh with his love of minimalism. For example, if he was an avid golfer, he would probably be conflicted given a full golf set has tons of items (14 clubs, a bag, balls, tees, etc).
I’m interested in where he keeps his tools and equipment (rented workshop space maybe?) especially if he is designing and making his own clothes and items.
Is wearing a wig considered a hobby???
@@bzomeful yes, somehow it seems a “fad” because it’s self indulgent and one has to make a special effort to be minimal which itself defeats the purpose
Yeah, manga films whole day...
He may be a minimalist but it's clear he's got everything planned out to exactly what he wants and needs. It's actually kind of refreshing. I don't know if I could live the minimalist lifestyle but I could certainly cut back on a lot of things that I own
I don't think I could live with that little stuff in my space, but the products he's developed are really cool and handy
really impressive...
The wig that he is wearing is not that little!!!

7:54 Literally his own inventory system
“You’ve given me an empty bag… Thank you very much. I will use it as a garbage bin!” 🤣
I LOVED this video! What a beautiful and authentic way of expressing himself through and in his home. He seems quite content (and funny!) and I admire his dedication to a quiet, still, and self-assured life 💜.
I'm impressed tbh. at first I thought its gonna be like a boring life but when he showed his camera gear, Nintendo switch, his hobbies, his products, that I'm convinced he is really enjoying his life with minimal items. Also he considers the idea of having a family with that kind of lifestyle and he is also aware and fine if he ends up growing old alone.
True minimalist
Such a lovely, humble and talented guy
And just by having minimal amount of items, he isn't spending unnecessary money on fast consumerism (even his clothes were designed by himself!), which means that he can use it for items he really wants and he can either splurge or save for later use
Think about it, he must have loads of money until he is paying very much for rent or spends it all on video games
he's not having a family. he's too attached to his own way of life to change it for anyone.
His life seems so relaxing and calm. I like the way he speaks, he seems very content and comfortable.
What's impressive here is that he designs his own stuff to best suit his minimalist lifestyle.
as a maximalist, i love this guy. Bro s happy w what he's got, and doesnt deprive himself for the sake of an aesthetic or anythin. he's just vibin. and his shirt with many pockets is genius, i wish i had one lol
you can buy it I think
It's almost ironic that a maximalist would be interested in a shirt with numerous pockets designed by a minimalist to avoid the use of bags, but really, it makes perfect sense. I imagine you'd fill each pocket with little treasures for discovering later.
The only thing I’d add? A plant!
I respect Shibu’s thoughtfulness about his use of space.
Sibu, sorry for the misspelling! 😅
I think it's pronounced Shi-bu, like Shibuya in Tokyo, but the letter "h" is too much. Minimize it to 4 letters.
What's not to like? He's clean, neat, organized, clearly knows what he wants in life, interesting, funny, passionate & consistent with his hobbies, creative, tech savvy, geeky, which I like... ya, I can see many ppl liking him as a bf/husband. Just the minimalist part is a bit difficult. But hey, rooms n items can be divided n she can have her section & he'll only have to mind his part. It could work if both compromise a bit.
Also, sincerely hope he sells his shirt & shopping bag. They are kinda cool.
As a woman I find him attractive. I think he’s creative, independent and has very clear ideas. Having an empty home forces us to look at ourselves, whether we like it or not. I find it fascinating and I don’t think he’s lonely at all. His shirt is the best creation ever 😳
@DaysAreForgottenBaby ya, I agree. But unlike him, I do enjoy collecting "useless" trinkets, so I just respect his lifestyle, knowing I can't/ won't do it. But those that can, might find him to be an ideal partner.
I suppose the difference in value attached to items/"stuff" can be hard. Love and compromise can go a long way, but it's such a different outlook on life... Starting a family would be very complex. How many rompers would he buy for a baby?
That or marry a minimalist wife and we can share things!!!
my favourite part was the shirt!!
Many think of minimalism as depriving, but what he has is a lifestyle that embodies his personality which is a win.
I see it as a very healthy form of modern living it’s very inspiring for when I have my own place
@Gigi-ho2qk This whole video feels ill. Respectable in a way sure but this looks like mental health issues to me, I don't know.
i see it like a sad place :(
i would not be happy to live in this hospital room....
@@grifyn882no one said it had to be exactly like his setup, I think it’s nice to take inspiration from for the sake of mental health and getting rid of clutter.
@Gigi-ho2qk you tell him that but he’ll be fine either way he ain’t changing for you just cause you don’t like it 😭
I absolutely love this. He seems so shy yet so full of life. I lost it when he took out the cart and started skateboarding on it. Hes actually so funny and good for him for knowing what he wants!
As a contractor I get the appeal. That feeling knowing your whole life is in one bag, makes life alot easier.
Until you leave the bag on the train!
Or in one shirt.
It makes moving a lot easier, not life
@@evgeniizaets9243 it definitely makes life a lot easier, less anxiety when seeing how much bullshit you own, makes moving easier, makes you less of a mindless consumer, save money by not buying things you dont need, save a lot of space, you will be happier too because you don’t yearn for more things to buy that you think will make you happy etc. So many ways minimalism can make your life less stressful and a whole lot easier
@@evgeniizaets9243 That depends on the person. Lifestyle is subjective.
Sibu is a freaking inspiration. That shopping bag of his is genius. I’ve been embracing minimalism as best I can and so far have been living with only what I can carry with me. It’s a bit freeing.
O RLY?
@@Skuu YA RLY
Honestly, he's so cool. To know what you want and need in life, and ACTUALLY having what you want and need in life- Yeah, it's something I definitely aspire to be.
And his talking that it is hard to find partner that would accept this type of life and don’t want to push someone to it really made me like him. I think if he finds right person and make seperated spaces for both of them it is possible. And honestly just looking at his apartment makes me feel so peasful I don’t know what it is maybe the idea how easy it must be to clean that apartment 😂
@@dianaselnekovicova948Oh yes! Huge bonus points that he doesn’t push his way of living on others and remains so respectful of others. Gotta love this man so much. He has everything in order. 🥹🥹
Very clever! The 13 minutes packing blew my mind! I couldn’t live like this exactly but There’s a lot of food for thought!❤
I hope he finds himself a lovely minimalist lady and they can live peaceful minimalist lives together and have little minimalist kids!
Think he found them: we cant see them 👻
There is no chance, but wish the best :(
Dude might be gay. Let's not assume eh
Unfortunately, that may not exist in women.
@@A_JoshOfAllTradeswhy not?
Amazing. Im a hoarder and compulsive shopper and i admire this man minimalism
Naaah you’re good. Hoarders does not admit it that easily. It would be interesting to count how many items I have. I guess 2k items easy
Although he calls himself minimalist it is interesting to see him having unusual items that he’s really into such as many kinds of spices, projector (and I think he has defuser too?) The way he lives must give him lots of inspiration! Thank you for the interesting video😆
it was really interesting to see exactly WHAT items he has attached to~
It's why I did the whole second vid just interviewing him and linked it
His whole mindset was so different from me!!
His inventions are so interesting! He really views the world in a whole new way!
It looks like the projector is his ceiling light, too. So two functions in one device. Clever.
The closet reveal was a nice surprise. I was waiting for the closet filled with 250 things. This man is impressive.
I aspire to this man's level of organization and resourcefulness
His way of living is truly inspiring. I will never be a minimalist myself, but I love how practical and organized it is to be as such.
While I definitely don't think I could live that kind of lifestyle, it was really cool seeing what items and gadgets he keeps in his daily life! Also, that jacket he made is so cool!
incredible right?!
Awww...what he said at the end about finding a partner. He seems like such a sweet guy - just need to find him the right extreme minimalist.
I don't think I could live like that but when I look around just my room... there really is a LOT of stuff that is just sitting there and hasn't been touched for a long LONG time.
And that folding magnetic shopping bag is a very cool idea.
What an interesting and innovative man. 13 minutes to pack up house...that is impressive.
I also used to wear black, but after a long time the lack of color seemed depressing to me. The consistency of this minimalist is truly impressive. I think his clothes with many pockets are fantastic, very practical.
I've started transitioning to a medium grey + accent color. It blends even better than black (esp. with different shades of itself) and looks a little less gloomy.
I also want a minimalist wardrobe, but with color. I'm thinking I'll make myself some black paper bag waist pants and then for other things incorporate only my favorite colors.
Same...I transition to navy blue and deep purple after wearing black for a long time.
lmao what is this
A good alternative are earth tones. They also perfectly fit together and are a bit warmer than pure black. And if you want even more color, you can add pastel colors like green for example.
I really love this idea that you can move the day you want, anytime you want, when you own so little items. That's a great plus !
The guy is calm af, he doesn't have any clutter, less stress!
Give him a basket of things and he would go mad for a week how to dispose them... I bet he not only does not use his bath, but even the toilet, it is better in the gym! :)))))))))
That shirt is awesome. Love the hidden storage for necessary stuff on the go
A wonderful piece of clothing indeed :-)
I got a well-needed laugh that he got stopped at the airport for lack of luggage while wearing this. Makes a person rethink the concept of big luggage suitcases.
my problem would be i’d forget something in one of the back hidden pockets and wash it with like a cable or something in
@@tarraingart Yeah I also wonder if the person in this video has had that kind of experience lol. But maybe by being minimalistic, he has become extremely mindful of what stuff he does or doesn't have; or what stuff is placed in this or that place.
@@tarraingart Good thing he has so few things that it becomes immediately apparently something is missing.
His folding bag invention is so cool and useful, folding into a thin enough square that it can fit into your pocket, AND magnetized. I really love it, it's so smart!
the light with the projector just blew my mind. the magnetic bag was also so cool!
I'm also a minimalist I literally have never felt so much better being one It's literally changed my life and while I'm proud of how I have minimized my space I find myself inspired yet again to minimize my space even more so now after watching this video.
Same !! lol even though I try to be minimalistic I feel like a hoarder watching this haha I can get better for sure
Dude is not just minimalist but also extremely organised and disciplined!
Wow… I don’t think it’s the lack of things that would drive me crazy, it’s living in a white box 😩. I realise he has absolutely everything he needs and that is impressive.
Feels a bit like living in a condom if you ask me :)) I mean no offense...
Even though I have little in common with Sibu's lifestyle, I find it pretty inspiring how he's fully embraced his quirks... he's very authentic
I need that bagless shirt!!! I love Sibu's perspective when it comes to moving and realizing how many things you actually need or use in your daily life. Also love the gift you gave him! The fact that I knew immediately it was going to be used as a trash bag and was correct made me laugh out loud XD
he knocked it out of the park with that shirt!
I used to own a lot of stuff when I was a teenager. Now my room is like one third of what used to be but I still need to learn from this gentleman. Great insight 👍👍
I'm Japanese.I'm big fun of his!
I watched most of his youtube.
But It was first time I'd seen anything outside his room.
He is the most popular among Japanese minimalists.
Everyone imitates him. He's very influential.
I'll check out your other videos too!
Thank you for sharing the great video!
ほんとに、ありがとうございます！
Really! I hope he finds a girl who watches him and likes that style too!
@@thecamillarose9806 I'm afraid it wouldn't be the same, but if it makes him happy, who knows...
Putting aside he's a minimalist, he has a recognisable system to me. When I lived on my own, I can tell you, I learned so much, because you don't have time. I was studying and working. I had little time to organize and clean my home, not to mention do the groceries, laundry, shopping. Like him, I put my life in boxes. Everything is organized in boxes and baskets.
I'm married now, I have decorations in our home for example, but they also have their boxes I just chuck them in when I need. This guy rotates clothes. We do that too. We have our going out clothes and the everyday clothes that we rotate (gym clothes included). We also go around thinking of ways to make our lives more effective/organized and how to get rid of things, but we are not minimalists.
(The way he held his phone. My guy is young!)
He is so stinking cute! You can really tell he finds a lot of pride in keeping his space organized and small. I hope he can find someone who shares his passion but kids need stuff so that may be a issue. His bag coat is brilliant too.
This is so amazing, and he has everything he needs. I have never seen someone live this way before. He will meet the right partner for him when it is time, and it will be someone who likes to live the same way. It's even smaller than Tiny House living. Kind blessings always and thank you for sharing. Totally brilliant.
Moving in to a new place is usually one of THE most stressfull things a person can go through in life This fellow makes it look so easy. It seems minimalismd does have some good points. 😃
Acquiring more than you need prohibits movement and freedom.
You can go too far too. Some people are willingly homeless bc of ‘freedom’ where you going bruh? 🤣🤣
Read “more than you need.” Obviously “need” is subjective, but most have more than they need, which tends to require more space than is needed, which tends to cost more than they have, which tends to curtail freedom.
If moving is the most stressful part of someone's life, they are unspeakably lucky.
What a blessing. I'm not the only one. I've been traveling the world since 2006. I have been living in a new country for 3.5-5 years in different regions and cities. At the beginning, I had the usual amount of things and when I moved, I sent things by delivery. But still, every move I rethought the need for each thing, evaluating whether the thing was worth moving on with me. Then it was important for me to fit into 1 large suitcase. Now I am already an experienced minimalist. I travel with a suitcase for carry-on luggage, a musical instrument, a tea set and a supply of pu-erh (this is not always easy to find in a new country), equipment for filming, I create content and my hobby - I make sacred jewelry for prayer. All this: a suitcase for hand luggage, a bag for a musical instrument and a backpack. At the same time, the quality of my life and the feeling of comfort are always available to me.
Lmao I think he might have been actually relieved that the gift was just the paper bag 😆
I laughed when he said "I will use it for trash"
I thought it was going to be something consumable like a fancy Miyazaki mango 😂
I was expecting food.
I don't know if there could be an opposite of a hoarder but this guy is the living incarnation of it.
Hate minimalism, but love efficiency. That shirt is so well designed.
lol it really is
It's perfect for shoplifting. 😉
why do you hate minimalism?
@@pillepolle3122 it's not pragmatic for most people
@@RioTVEVO a Lamborghini also is not pragmatic for most people but I don't HATE the cars because of that! On the contrary. I admire them and I also respect the people who live a minimalistic lifestyle.
I give him props, i could never live like that haha. I really do love the idea of his minimalist emergency bag! Thats a very good idea!
As someone who just moved last weekend ... I WISH I was this much of a minimalist 😅😅 we have so much stuff that I packing is taking forever!
Much love from Arizona 💜💜
hope the move went well!
This is your chance to downsize!
way to go shibu! you're an inspiration. i thought i was sort of minimalist.
thank you tokyo lens for documenting this rare and awesome individual.
This is one of your best videos. It was the video that made me google and look up multiple subjects as it was loaded with good material and items. You have such a respectful demeanor.
His house is so calm n not overly stimulating.
That dude is awesome. He likes to keep it simple, i can appreciate that
movements and body language when being polite is really something in japan - very calculated and precise; love the coat hangers and the sounds they make. watched until the end. total freak - I love him.
I love that even though he's minimalist, he has all his hobby stuff. lots of minimalist talk about hobbies and the related things like "if you dont have 2 shirts and sleep on the ground, you aren't minimalist. you have a switch? not minimalist. go and read Thoreau or something "
This is inspiring actually, thanks for the great video!
I have a lot of respect for him. He doesn't let material things chain him down. He focuses more on living, and less on acquisition.
I love it! I lived in a 18 square meters apartament when I was single and it was the happiest I ever was. Today I have children and offcourse I can't live in the same way, but I still hang on to my beliefs that "the things you own, end up owning you". I will teach my children to have a simple life and not get attached to things or anything actually.
I am an artist and maximalist with adhd who loves colour and the idea of living here makes me desperately unhappy 😅 however i love his efficiency and that he's designed so much of his own stuff!! I dont like waste and think people over consume, too. So i really appreciate that about him. its amazing how different people can be!!
Yeah some people just like the room a bit empty, to clear your head
I was fascinated to see how much he has pared down his life. Truly inspirational, I will never be able to achieve such a level but I can't wait to do a massive clear out now. 😊
This is sooo cool! He doesn’t have a lot of stuff but everything is best quality and he actually use it!
14:25 This is not a selfishy way of living, but smart, respectful and eco-sustainable.
The reverb in that house though … some sound absorbing padding would make it awesome.
But that would mean adding a 251st item….not sure he could cope with that! 😂
His designs and vision are amazing. Quite a unique and wonderful view of life. Thanks for sharing this story!
He is right, we all have things that we dont need. Somethimes less, is more.
My old Apartment burned down, and after losing all I owned, i realized that yiu dont need so much things to be happy.

As for your attempt at sounding superior (and failing), I doubt you would ever willingly participate in a minimalist lifestyle, hand over your phone, computer, and 90% of everything you own or shut up.

@@bellebonebag8096 actually it became popular in the art world back in the 60s. But of course, overtime it came out of the arts and started being a part of every day life.
Edit : but yeah, I don’t understand how minimalism is a form of torture. I honestly think that everyone should do the less is more because we are overstimulated and are constantly pushed into believing we need more to be happy by the media.
trying to become a minimalist myself. I recently moved from a 3 room to a 1 room apartment. This inspires me A LOT! So easy with the clothes to have all in the same color.
Almost no other things, only the most nessesary. Love it!!🤩
I really liked the clothing he made. It looks sleek but can fit so much things inside!
Oh goodness, this is definitely a mindset. One must have so much control. A clean way to live like a monk. I would fail epically trying to quell my inner pack rat. Lol
Thank you for showing life in alternate perspectives & ways. Your videos always leave me with a new appreciation of how life can be happily lived differently: bigger, smaller, in the air, on the water, with music, full of art, simple or complicated.
While minimalism may not appeal to everyone, the reality is that we often accumulate more possessions than we truly need. Addressing this tendency is a crucial first step toward freeing ourselves from unnecessary burdens and possessions, ultimately leading to a more simplified and fulfilling life.
1:19 omg extra controller, such a materialistic kind of guy! 😂
