That sunflower song must be a test, to see if you are worthy to ride on the ship. If you can take hearing it 235 times and not jump into the water, you are worthy. 😺
Gotta pause the video to say thank you for making me bust out laughing loud enough to probably wake half the house at 4:30 AM with the sharp cut to the ceiling and AAAAHHHH 😂
I have “sunflower” singing in my head now. Will be there all day. I am from Australia but my children study Japanese at school. Watch all your RUclips videos 😊
that sunflower song was sung with such gusto ... damned impressionable ... lol ... i'll hav a hard time not bursting out in laughter when i take this ferry one day ... :P
Thank you for giving me and my family something to look forward to every week! Your channel is entertaining, very well paced, often humorous and relaxing. Each new video is a unique and fun way to experience a place and culture I would love to visit but have never seen first-hand. Thank you so much for all the work and effort you put into each of these and for consistently creating wonderful content! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!🎉
🎶SUNFLOWER, SUNFLOWER🎶🎶🎶ARRRRRGH! Yeah - it is an ear worm. But I still love your videos and the gentle humour that goes through them. Thank you! 😊 I also love your food channel!
If it is anything like working in a retail store in the US during the Christmas season, you eventually learn to block a majority of it out. (I never was completely able to block out "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer.) I have two questions. 1) Do you get to keep all those slippers, robes and other amenities? Or are they there just to be used while you are there? 2) People who board via their cars or trucks do they get rooms as well or do they have to stay with their vehicle?
All the little touches, like the staff waving the light wands upon disembarkation, the song, branded merch, and even the artwork on signage shows that this is a company that employs people who care.
Thanks to watching one too many of your videos, my husband set my ringtone to the Sunflower song to prank me and I genuinely can't work out how to change it. Jokes on him I'm into that song so much I *still* clap like a seal when I hear it in a new video. Another great video, thank you :)
I found myself humming "SUNFLOWER!" as I was going around my house during the last hour. Of all the ferries I have ridden in the United States over the years, I never found one with its own theme song before. There was one during the 1980s to Catalina Island that had some of the crew blasting Van Halen music, but even that is no "SUNFLOWER!".
Gonna have the Sunflower song stuck in my head for days... and I _really_ want some cake and ice cream now. The food looked tasty and the room, while on the smaller side, still looked very cozy.
🌻🌻🌻🎶🎶🤩 My all time favorite Ferry in Japan so far. The music literally gets stuck in your head for days after watching one of these ferry rides! Can't wait to visit someday.
You have a wonderful sense of humour and the ability to make the commonplace appear interesting,thank you for another lovely video and best wishes for the holiday season and New Year. Rather than 'Sunflower' watching the dock crews waving makes me think of 'Umi Yukaba' ......
I wish the sunflower song was available on RUclips so I could listen to it for hours. People around me might go insane, but that's a small price to pay. SUNFLOWA SUNFLOWA
I will now have that song stuck in my head for the rest of the year 😂😂 Thank you for the video Solo-san! Merry Christmas and Happy New Years to you and everyone else in the comments! 😊
Just vibing to the sunflower music! Also, thank you so much for getting me interested in beef curry! I made some last week and it's my new favorite dish!
Why yes, I would like a souvenir. I'll have a coffee mug, a T shirt and a CD of the sunflower song to play over and over joining me in my slow descent into madness.
it’s a good day to Listen to sunflower my favourite ferry in Japan sunflower song is going to be singing in my head all day 😅🥰🌻🌻🌻always loved watching your videos thank you stay safe And Sunflower !! 🌻🌼💛
yaaay the karaoke boat! I love this song so i'm glad we're on it again, and even happier to have some of the lyrics! I'm not kidding, sometimes I'll randomly sing bits of the song, so i'm glad to actually have some of the proper words now. And I'm glad we got two !! tastes
I enjoyed our singing together (Sunflower sunflower). Don’t forget to get some glow sticks before you take the new ferry. Thank you for taking me along. Happy Holidays from my family to yours. From Phoenix Arizona
Really nice voyage - thanks for sharing with us! Super sweet cabin choice 🌅 🎶Sunflower 🎶 I didn't think the song could get stuck in my head. Until... you told us what the lyrics are!! 😄
I always enjoy your videos... and look forward to seeing them on a regular basis. I just I had your job so that I can travel as much as you do. :) Merry Christmas Solo!
The cabin was a little small but looked very comfortable. But you did mention it was an older ship (2007). Nice trip. Definitely have to get on that new ferry in January 2023!
My arms hurt from waving them about but how can you not feel the need to dance when you hear that amazing song!! I shall be singing it in my sleep 😂 "sunflower sunflower let the sun protect us lets goooooo ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh 🌻"
Sunflower song in my head also. Yes I would like to have souvenirs. I would have the recording of the Sunflower song, slippers, mug, hat, towel and t shirt. And anything else with Sunflower on it. Lovely ferry, room, trip and food. I wish I could travel on that ferry. Greetings from Canada.
I am going to be singing the “Sunflower” song to myself for the next few days! Thanks for all the videos - they always brighten my day. Merry Christmas to you and yours, STJ!
My uncles and cousins from Tonga would work on Japanese vessels in Japan in the 2000s - they would talk about how many Japanese love travelling by sea in between islands and how advanced the technology was at the time. Tonga also uses ships from Japan due to how well they are built. Thank you for sharing your videos :)
I had to pause the video for a while, but the "Sunflower" 🌻 song kept going through my head. Thanks a lot! 😂 There are many worse songs to get stuck in one's head, though, and I shall have to see if I can find it to play over and over until it gets out of my system. The chorus is quite catchy. 🤗 Thanks for sharing this lovely trip with us all. 😊
lol I can picture a horror/suspense/thriller type movie being made about this ferry with that jingle being played in the background over and over. Maybe one day it'll happen lol 😆
I'm in the U.S. & I've been walking around singing, "Sunflower...Sunflower"🤣🤣🤣
That sunflower song must be a test, to see if you are worthy to ride on the ship. If you can take hearing it 235 times and not jump into the water, you are worthy. 😺
Omg I’m laughing so hard right now
I would have been overboard after 2 times
Thanks to this channel, there is a worldwide contingent of people who have never been on a Sunflower ferry, yet we can all sing the song. 🥰
Gotta pause the video to say thank you for making me bust out laughing loud enough to probably wake half the house at 4:30 AM with the sharp cut to the ceiling and AAAAHHHH 😂
I totally lost it too! Ahhhhhhh 🤣🤣🤣
I cracked up laughing also at "AHHHHHHH!"🤣
I can't help wondering if the AHHHHHHHHH was a double-meaning there 😆
AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I come back to that part of the video after a rough day and all my troubles go AAAAAAAHHHHway.
"sunflower, sunflower" - me, for the next week probably
I have “sunflower” singing in my head now. Will be there all day. I am from Australia but my children study Japanese at school. Watch all your RUclips videos 😊
Same here. LOL. I am trying to find a recording of it to use as a ringtone. 🤣🌻😎
The same for days, and I can't get it out!!!!!! LOL
Everyday is a good day to listen to the sunflower song 😂🌻
@Sue Sue I wonder if it could be considered torture to be forced to listen to it for too long 😆
🎼🎶 Sunflower 🌻 Sunflower 🌻.... 🎶 🔂😅✌🏼😎
As soon as I hear it I get excited!
Time for another awesome cruise.
Wow we really do pay attention, I didn't think anyone else took note of that song. Merry Christmas everyone.
Merry Christmas Jack
The snap to the speaker with "AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH" in time with the music absolutely KILLED me, that was the funniest damn thing.. Bravo!
That sunflower song will be stuck in my head for days 😂
Loved the video as usual 🥰
that sunflower song was sung with such gusto ... damned impressionable ... lol ... i'll hav a hard time not bursting out in laughter when i take this ferry one day ... :P
Yeah, that song would drive me nuts after the first few minutes.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh 🎶
Merry Sunflower everyone. Let the Sun protect us. Lets go!
lol
Ahhhhhhhh!😱😭🤣
sunflower 🎶 sunflower 🎵 ....
This whole comedic set featuring the Sunflower song is the best thing that’s happened to me in 2 weeks. Incredible. Love your channel so much!
Whenever I watch a sunflower video I spend the rest of the day singing sunflower. Or humming the tune 😊
Thank you for giving me and my family something to look forward to every week!
Your channel is entertaining, very well paced, often humorous and relaxing.
Each new video is a unique and fun way to experience a place and culture I would love to visit but have never seen first-hand.
Thank you so much for all the work and effort you put into each of these and for consistently creating wonderful content!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!🎉
You have to appreciate Solo Travelers ability to make subtle jokes, in a language that's I assume isn't his native tongue.
Thanks for saying that! Merry Christmas and happy new year
Sunflower Sunflower la la la is now stuck in my head!!!!
That song is such an ear worm😁
I can finally sing along to the Sunflower song (and make sense)! 😁Thank you for the holiday present, Solo!
oh yes ! now i want to download the song now hehe
Thank you for providing the lyrics so i can sing it all day in my house
Never thought I would be crying laughter watching your videos 😂 SUNFLOWEEEER!
The bit where you raise the sunflower song volume in your cabin had me in tears! Legendary
🎶SUNFLOWER, SUNFLOWER🎶🎶🎶ARRRRRGH! Yeah - it is an ear worm. But I still love your videos and the gentle humour that goes through them. Thank you! 😊 I also love your food channel!
thank you for providing the lyrics *and* the translation, STJ. you did good to the world.
I, and, on behalf of most likely everyone, would like to thank you, for the sunflower song. And the fact that it will stay in my head for days. 😭
This might just be the greatest video on the greatest channel of all time. I’m not sure where to go from here…
Thanks for the big super thanks and your kind words! I appreciate it.
OMG!! That song is driving me crazy!
I honestly cannot imagine what it must be like to work on that ferry and hear that song literally dozens of times a day every day. Ugh.
I was thinking the same!!! I would absolutely have to bring earplugs!
If it is anything like working in a retail store in the US during the Christmas season, you eventually learn to block a majority of it out. (I never was completely able to block out "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer.)
I have two questions. 1) Do you get to keep all those slippers, robes and other amenities? Or are they there just to be used while you are there? 2) People who board via their cars or trucks do they get rooms as well or do they have to stay with their vehicle?
You are the best of all the Japanese travel channels. I subscribed only to you. Keep up the great work!!
All the little touches, like the staff waving the light wands upon disembarkation, the song, branded merch, and even the artwork on signage shows that this is a company that employs people who care.
they wave bc they've been told to. It's business
That saxophone solo is a banger!
Thanks to watching one too many of your videos, my husband set my ringtone to the Sunflower song to prank me and I genuinely can't work out how to change it. Jokes on him I'm into that song so much I *still* clap like a seal when I hear it in a new video.

The song continually playing😳🤣! But anyway another nice video👍 Happy Holidays from Cali❤️🌲
I di love your ferry videos. And finally - the lyrics to the song 👍🏻😂😊
Came for beef 🍛 curry,

Another great trip with STJ! 😎✌🏼
Come on!! Thank you for the lyrics!!! Sometimes it starts playing itself in my head. Now I can sing the correct lyrics hahaha Best channel EVER 😂🌻🌻
Like everyone else, Sunflower is stuck in my head for the rest of the year (thanks for translating into English)
Gonna have the Sunflower song stuck in my head for days... and I _really_ want some cake and ice cream now. The food looked tasty and the room, while on the smaller side, still looked very cozy.
It looks like it was a comfortable trip, and the food looked delicious. Thanks for taking us along on your musical journey.😁 Stay safe!
I can enjoy the trips without actually going anywhere

Yeah I’d go nuts 😂
It’s there if you look hard enough. Sanfurawa is it’s name.
@@Backoffboogaloo oh my god you're right
Here I sit, halfway across the world, swaying and bobbing my head to the sunflower song 😁
Taiyo ni mamorarete….
Thank you from Germany!!
ありがとうございます
Reminds me of the 1970s t.v. show "The Love Boat", with that music!😁🙏💕 Beautiful ferry boat, love Sunflowers!🌻
I love your subtitles. And your sense of humor.
Absolutely love your dedication to the gag. Got the tune mercilessly stuck in my own head as well lol!

🌻 🌻 🌻 🌻 awsome song. My son can't stop singing it.
Hard for me to believe anyone would want to hear that song over and over and over!
Thank you for sharing the lyrics! I will now sing along with every Sunflower cruise. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
I love that the port crew waves! It's so Japanese.
Thank you for posting the words to the Sunflower song. Now I can learn it! ;)😆
I can totally see Solo performing the "Sunflower" song at the Karaoke night. By holding up cardboard signs with the subtitles! 🤣🤣🤣
Rofl 🤣🤣🤣
Lovely ship. Great video 👍
Thank you for the song translation!! SUNFLOWERRRR!!
I wanted so much to visit Japan.... I'm afraid it would be impossibile, so I'm glad to Travel with You. Thank You!
Bless you Gatta Nera. There is always our next life... if you decide to return, maybe be born in Japan. Many blessings.

Sunflower ~Sunflower ~let the sun protect us~...
Literally cannot even hear the word, can't even READ the word sunflower without singing...🎶SUNFLOWER🎶
The jingle playing all the time is like being trapped inside a Yodobashi Camera shop! 😂
Bic camera!
I can't walk through one without earbuds in anymore.
Looking forward to Sunflower Kurenai video soon!
The sunflower song is the best part of the ferries. It got me hooked on the videos.
😂🌻🎶 thanks for the lovely trip and hilarious sing-along!
For the record I had to rewind this video several times as I was laughing so hard I missed parts. "Oops" 😂
cheers from Brazil! love your videos!
The sunflower song never gets old haha😂
Even when the song finally stops playing, it carries on in yout head! Not that im complaining. I quite like it.
Sunflower song in my head also. Yes I would like to have souvenirs. I would have the recording of the Sunflower song, slippers, mug, hat, towel and t shirt. And anything else with Sunflower on it. Lovely ferry, room, trip and food. I wish I could travel on that ferry. Greetings from Canada.
