    Thank you for watching my video! I'm reading all the comments. I'm reading them in chronological order, starting from the oldest. It's taking a long time because I'm not good at foreign languages. I put a heart mark on the comments I read. Some of them are harsh, but I appreciate all the comments. I want to thank everyone who wrote a comment. It's going to take a while for me to read your comments, but please wait.

      I just came back from Japan, I noticed Japanese people are introvert. I saw working people they spend time time alone after work rather straight away go home and spend time with their family. To @samurai-daddy no need to feel lonely since you have wife and son, spend as much time with them while u can 😊. Sometimes we just need to break the ice for our own happiness. Happy holiday to you and family

    In America 🇺🇸 people are rushing to go home after work. Some of the happiest moments of my day is when I go home to be greeted by my two kids and wife. Regardless of the time of night my kids would wait for me to get home so I can do their bedtime routine. Knowing your family is waiting for you at home just to spend that little amount of time each night, gives me the sense of urgency to get home. Thanks for making these videos and Merry Christmas!!

      Let us not be hasty to judge him not wanting to go home. Maybe he is very unhappy at home but there are two sides to every story and it would be appreciated if the wife could also explain her own side. Thank you for your videos. Please try and communicate with your wife, leaving her little notes before going to work to say "I love you" or a simple "thank you for taking care of the house and our son". I am sure she would appreciate that little note. Sending you hugs. Keep your chin up, life is too short!

    If you want your marriage to improve, when your workday is over, get on the first train you can to go home and be with your wife and child while they are still awake. Talk to her, be with your child. Do something simple like asking how her day was, offer to help with something like helping to prepare or clean up after dinner. Perhaps pick up a small food item or treat on the way home you know she enjoys and something for yourself. Try to start doing some "together" / "family" things versus your current pattern of choosing isolation and not coming home til they are both asleep. Things will not change or improve until you try to do something different. Blessings to you all...

    The place you went after hours for work was beautiful! Not the cafe, but the streets of the city. Don't you ever go out with " the boys"- your friend group? My husband has lunches and dinners with friends. He goes on cruises with his friends. I guess I could understand if your wife would be upset, my husband's friends wives get jealous I think sometimes. You guys don't even acknowledge each other in the streets. I'm always smiling and greeting people in the streets. I talk to people in all of the stores I go to! Are you friendly with anyone from work? For an after office drink? I love that you watch anime, I'm forever watching Adult Swim late at night! I'm so sorry that you are lonely when you are surrounded by people!❤

    Please forgive me, for I am ignorant. If you are lonely why do you not spend time with your wife? I know that I do not understand the dynamics of relationships or marriage in Japan. I feel that a good relationship requires work from all parties. Perhaps you could bring your wife home a snack instead of staying out all night? Or spend time playing with your son? I treasure the time I get to spend with my kids, as they will be grown up and not like me soon enough.

    I really feel bad when you mention that you are lonely but you have a wife and child. I never felt lonely even when my wife has always worked 12 hour days from 5:00P.M to 5:00A.M. 5 days a week and I always work 3:30 A.M to 3:30 PM. We see each other on days off and before my wife goes to work. I always try to eat lunch together even on weekends! I prepare our meals for the whole family during the weekend! I go out only once in a while and eat together with my family. I made this habit since we got married back in 1993 and since then still try to eat together and be together! She is Asian and even though we’re from different cultures I need to do things together!!

    This is only the 2nd video from Samurai Daddy that I have watched. It does seem a lonely lifestyle. I am struck by how soulless the coffee shops and restaurants are. Nobody is talking to anyone. Everyone seems to be on their mobiles and my or laptops. I can understand the need to decompress after work, before going home. The long commute means an early start to the day. Life is not easy. I enjoy your videos and I look forward to watching more about you, Tokyo, your family and work. Take care. Happy Christmas to you (all).

    I can kinda relate to you in a way , I feel lonely also but at least you can get outside and do things . I can’t because I have very severe depression and anxiety . I feel a lot of sympathy for you and I know some people will talk shit and say oh he’s doing this for pity or donations or views . No fuck that. I relate to your videos , it’s relatable. And they are nice to watch . Day in the life content is the easiest to make because it just shows what you go through in a day to day basis , like a little piece of your life that we get to see. You’re not alone though . Some of us are in the same boat or at least in a similar scenario.

    I am single, no wife or girlfriend, not many friends, but I find that I often feel more lonely when I’m with others than when I’m by myself. So I can empathize with your loneliness within your marriage. A loveless marriage would be the worst kind of loneliness for me.

    I do enjoy seeing what Japanese restaurants serve, realizing we have no such places here in my home state in America. The convenience stores look fun too, but I'd never get out with only a couple items in my basket. The streets and transportation are full of people, yet I understand people dont tend to talk to each other much. It always made time pass faster when I talked with people on buses or trax while I went to work. Maybe it has changed here too because once I got a car, I never used public transport. Samurai Daddy, do you have friends at work you can spend time with to keep from feeling lonely, while still remmebering you have a family at home?

    It's tough I know....dark thoughts....But I know she would never forgive me if I did something stupid...So please...try to find out the root cause of the problem....and fix it (if you can).....Making your wife happy will make you happy (if you still love her)...And think of your child...Because my own parents divorced when I was 6 and It has affected my whole life. And as my late partners birthday was on the Dec 26th..This time of year is real tough for me...All the best.

    Spending time with my family is what prevented the loneliness & depression that I had. Why would you intentionally stay away from your wife & son? If you don't love them, then man up and get a divorce. You're being a coward and hurting your son. He's already learning that his dad doesn't love him enough to spend time with him. Children have to feel & know that they're loved. How can he feel that his dad loves him if he wanders around the city for youtube videos instead of being with him? You'll never get these years back with kids. Now he'll grow up thinking that it's ok to ignore your wife & child and pretend that you love them.

      @@FreeRiver_Plays I don’t know the actually statistics, but I would guess that a good 80% of people who work in Tokyo commute more than 1.5 hours one way. This is life in Tokyo. It’s completely normal. Millions commute up to 2 hours one way. This is how I and all my colleagues and friends and family live too, averaging 1.5 hours commute.
      However, we all go home after work and eat at home with our families, unless, on rare occasions, there is a dinner with colleagues, clients, or friends. Some single colleagues who live alone, may eat out more often, but even they sometimes cook at home too.
      This way that he is living, is entirely his choice.

    Watching this video, it makes me sad knowing that in Japan, you got to travel an hour and a half in the morning and an hour and a half at night just to have a job and keep your family happy but in the long run that’s a long way to travel you know it’s about time in Time that you need to spend with your family and that’s sad so everybody’s got to look forward to that in Japan because they’re not wealthy. That is really sad here in Orlando. We try to work not far away and now we have to drive everywhere so it’s a little different. Wow that is sad. I’m so sorry. I love watching your videos and stuff in my heart just goes out to you and I’m so sad for you and your wife and you have a son. Do you ever plan on having more kids? I know it’s hard.

    Hi again Samurai Daddy, another great clip. I will not preach about your family, enough people already do that. I used to like Pronto a lot during the years in Japan, especially their egg salad sandos. I learned to love Japanese curry at Cocos, (Good smell, good curry!). Level 3 or 4 of spiciness was enough for me. It is a totally different animal from Indian, Thai or Seychelles, very good. Now back in Romania I cook it often with S&B roux, mainly with beef, lamb or keema or a pork tonkatsu. Plus many other Japanese foods I learned. Why do I start to sweat when I see people eat curry on RUclips? The body is a mystery. Yagen cartilage delicious! In Nigeria we used to eat cowleg - beef cartilage/meat cooked tender with colourful sauces. My favourite snack in Japan was Cheeza by Glico, crackers with 53% cheese, absolutely superior! Ok, have good days and arigato!

    Cseparately from his wife, she shared the bed with their daughter. While this maybe a cultural norm, relationships will never grow, be nourishedif this lifestyle continues, and obviously doing little for your mental well being.
    I understand the commute time is long. Instead of having your dinner in the city, make an effort to get home 1-2 in the week, to join your family.
    Time passes too quickly. Only you and your wife can makea conscious effort to change thevstaus quo. No wonder you are sick, your immune system not coping with the stressors it is under.Be kinder to yourself, see to make new changes in 2025, to make you a happier, less lonely man.

You should be going home after work and spend time with your son and wife. Whatever time you have left after work, you spend that in restaurants for dinner. Why would you not have dinner at home? You have always said that your wife looks after the son and house and cooks for you.

      You are alone because, well, you want to be alone. It`s only your choice.
      Please, look at your screen here - "I have a family, but I`m lonely". I think it`s humiliating for your wife and son, this kind of words in public. I don`t know your situacion, but I can see a man, who doesn`t want to spend time with family.

Dont avoid the problem by stay away from home. Come home early eat at home..Tell your wife you want to be part of the family, if she loves you she will also work at the marriage and hear you out. If she doesn't want the marriage and doesn't work on the marriage well you have your answer...she does not love you anymore...but at least you will have finalization...versus endless nights of just wondering will you have a family and spouse.

Pewnie tak i nie z Pana winy. Trzy tygodnie temu obejrzałam film dokumentalny produkcji japońskiej pt. KSZTAŁTOWANIE MŁODEGO JAPOŃCZYKA. Ngdy nie ośmieliłabym się napisać Japończykowi tego,co napiszę,bo byłoby to bardzo nietaktowne,GDYBY nie fakt,że powiedział to japoński sensei. Film dotyczy edukacji szkolnej w Japonii. Patrzyłam na te śliczne dzieci i serce mi się krajało z bólu nad ich cierpieniem w szkole. Wizytator/kurator starszy stażem i wiekiem sensei stwierdził:" Jesteśmy dumni z sukcesów Japonii,są rezultatem naszego systemu szkolnego,ALE KAŻDY KIJ MA DWA KOŃCE. BĄDŹMY SZCZERZY SUKCES OSIĄGAMY STOSUJĄC TERROR PSYCHICZNY WOBEC DZIECI. PORA TO PRZEMYŚLEĆ" tymi słowy zakończył. Potem dwóch młodych nauczycieli rozmawiali o swoich wątpliwościach dotyczących sposobu wychowania i kształcenia. Mam nadzieję,że Pana nie obraziłam. Sama byłam kilka lat nauczycielką,bardzo wymagającą,ale dzieci i młodzież mogły się pośmiać,zażartować,dbałam o ciepłą atmosferę. Często zwierzały się mnie a nie wychowawcy. Patrzyłam na smutne japońskie dzieci,ciągle pod presją nauczyciela i grupy.😢 Pana synek niedługo pójdzie do szkoły,proszę wykorzystać ten czas dla Was obu,by wzmocnić w nim bezwarunkowe poczucie wiary w siebie. Może warto poszukać pracy w Jokohamie a zaoszczędzony czas spędzać z synkiem i żoną. Pozdrawiam.
