Girl every time I see that intro I tear up so much 😭 as a black woman I GET it. This is really helping me to work towards my "impossible" or "no way YOU could do this" type dreams this year Here goes nothing
If you believe in yourself then you can overcome any obstacle. Keep going, just because it's harder for certain people doesn't mean you should give up or not try your best! You can do it!
Recently I've lost my big brother to brain cancer he passed 1 week ago I've been just binging your vids trying to distract myself I love you sundai I'm proud of you God bless you please take care of yourself and everyone who reads this comment always remember to spread love ❤
That is so dang awful I’m so sorry boo. Honestly, I can’t imagine losing my sibling it would be too much for me. At the same time I know she wouldn’t want me sad. She would want me to live life to the fullest and enjoy for the both of us. It definitely won’t be easy, take your time and I pray the pain gets better 🥺 and thanks for watching boo. Stay strong
So sorry about your brother. I lost my big sister to kidney cancer. It's definitely hard losing a sibling. Keep going for him. Remember to honor him. I didn't think I could keep going. But life/time doesnt stop for anyone. She's been gone 9 years. Sending prayers for comfort and joy in your family.
Havent finished the video yet but this is the intro I didn't know I needed. Dealing with people telling you "you can't", "won't", "will never" and then proceeding to deliver the goods with the receipts! Simply amazing!!!! This was divine timing and I am so grateful ✨️
Oh man, if you ever decide to have children! They are going to be so lucky to have a cool mom that bought a home in Japan. I just saw little mini Sundays eating snacks on the floor or helping with the garden. Just cool - can't wait to see more!
I feel like 3 is a contender so far! As for the garden you can always make a stone path and put a planters box there at the end and purchase or build arches to grow grapes or other vine type plants and also hang some too. Having this placed over the path or beside would so, gorgeous. 🌼 🌸 🌻 🌹 🏵
To add half of the property could be used as income if you find a way to seal it off. I know that could be pricey but it is a good idea to offset costs and you can have a section to yourself. And once you feel comfortable you can always get the house back to yourself.
Just a thought- I’ve been looking into vertical gardening a lot lately. It’s not the same vibe as a large yard but it can help with supplemental space in any house you end up going for. 🥳. This series is inspiring me to dream even bigger! 🤪👏
I admire how you attract very kind, helpful and supportive people into your life. How you find value in experiences that most wouldn’t even bother with. I could go on but tldr - I love this series and can’t wait til you find your place!
These have been some of the most informational and eye opening videos you’ve made ! Like ppl think it’s easy to buy a home but dang buying a home as a foreigner is even harder lol. Language barriers, funds, having must haves versus what the houses available are giving .. like that could be super overwhelming. I love how you tackle everything in life with such positivity. Ugh like you are major goals! Also a big giant cookie for Ash being your support person through all of this🙌🏾
For me, this would be THE HOUSE. It’s big, has a good view of the fields, it has a western garage, AND IT HAS A DRYER. BRO DRYERS ARE A LUXURY IN JAPAN 😭😭
Cherry blossom season?! Reality check on how long and hard our girls been workin on this! We couldn't be more proud and happy to be a long for the ride on this journey! 🥰
I really love you and Ash’s friendship he’s always down to accompany you on whatever crazy adventure you decide to go on lol we love supportive friends! Even if he was being compensated he literally doesn’t have to go but always chooses to. You can just tell he actually cares for you 🥲
Japanese architecture is so beautiful 😍I found your channel a few weeks ago, and I'm so happy for it. I have been wanting to go to Japan for the longest time, and your videos have been so informative and fun! I have bookmarked a lot of places that you have mention, for when I visit Japan next year, I'm so excited! And thank you so much for your videos ☺
I disagree. I don't find the houses attractive at all. I guess I am used to American architecture or western architecture and find these houses plain and unexciting.
I was literally just watching the other episode of this series right before you uploaded this. It’s currently 1am and my insomniac self loves watching some Sundai Love. You’re genuinely such a comfort RUclipsr. Thank you for the consistent content
I love house hunting, the 3rd house doesn't seem dark or spooky, kinda bright and has positive energy...I agreed with Ash that the garage can turn into a studio or workspace. The wall has cracked, must have earthquake before. I cant wait to see more!
Cherry Blossoms! You probably are really organized with your naming files convention. Almost one year later footage. Happy for you Sundai! Very inspiring. Can't wait to see the final renovations. HGTV was my jam!
The way I yell "YESSSS YESSSS" every time you upload 🥺💓 You inspire me so much, Sundai! I've been a subscriber since your very first videos and I am so happy you share your life and experiences with us. You deserve the world!!! I'm going to Tokyo this month and I'm so excited to explore your world hehe!
@@Brokamatic Has the trip started yet? and Sorry if this is personal, but I would love to know what job you do in Korea. I want to get an education so I can work overboard too. What is it like there?
@@Snow-xd4rv Yeah! I’m in Tokyo now! Today is Day 3/6 I’m an English teacher! Public school via EPIK. There are pros and cons but it is not a job that will make you wealthy or provide a stable long term career if you are not set on education forever. But it’s working for my personal goals :)
Hi Sundai Love, I have been watching your videos for a few years and I just love them. I saw that you were looking at homes to buy in Japan and I love how so original they all are. I was watching a show one day about a man who was house hunting in Japan and he said that Japan has quite a lot of abandoned fixer upper homes for just 1 dollar. He bought one and they are just like the ones that you were looking at. I believe he said that the gov. will give you funding to help out but it's not a lot and a lot of paper work. Also he said that it is a must that you finish fixing it up and live in the house for at least 3 years. What ever the funding does not cover, you will be responsible to pay for the rest. To be approved you will have to go through a lot of paper work and be a resident of Japan for a certain amount of years but all in all, it might be worth the work. I hope that this will help you some. I hope that you find something you really love soon. Have a great day and happy hunting!!🤓
The gov. actually allows lots of home building unlike the US, so home prices in Tokyo have not increased in 30 years.. You can get a decent place...America sucks
I have been waiting! It feels nice to get 2 videos close in days. But I just peeped the cherry blossoms so that means these are almost a year old videos 👀. That means you are probably in a house now! Early congratulations 🎉 before we know. I have been watching for 2 years now and I am happy and proud of you !! 🥹🥳🥰
I don’t normally comment on videos but I couldn’t watch and not say anything. First, I’m so happy and proud of you for this accomplishment. It can be hard for us (black people) to buy a house in the States and you’re doing it in Japan. Secondly, watching you live you dream is an inspiration to everyone who has forgotten to live theirs (myself included at times). It is easy to give into the voice that’s say you can’t, instead of listening to yourself and saying you can. I cannot wait to see how this turns out but again I’m so happy for you.
Sundai! I love this series and I'm so excited for you. Now, I don't want to speak too soon, buuuuut I think this (1st one) is YOUR house. 💅🏾😎 *speaking too soon anyway*
All I know is that since I subscribed to Sundays channel,my entire outlook on life has changed, I have grown as a human being and there’s never a dull moment in watching your videos,you always learn something,thaaaaaank you Sunday ❤❤❤❤❤
Hey Sundai !!!! I’m really enjoying this house hunting series . You and Ash have the best relationship and he’s such a supportive friend I love that. That 3rd house has so many possibilities. I love that garage as well. 🤗🥰🥰🫶
The fact that ash is with her while she's buying a house, I don't care what anybody says that shit is cute and romantic and dreamy and sweet and I love it..
You are so right, sometimes meeting people and getting information is the most valuable. It happened to me when I was looking for a flat, met a commercial who was also an investor and gave me a lot of advices.
So far house 1 is still my favorite. There's something about it... House 3 is gorgeous and then house 2. They all have their own charms. ☺ I'm so happy you're taking us along for this journey.
Thanks for Showing what is and what is not about certain buying process in Japan. I think this is amazing for me , especially since I am also consider buying a House in Japan as well. But first I am on the look for a House where I am at first, that process is something different too.
I can't explain how much I've loved watching you go through the process to find your dream home so far. The vibes have been immaculate! Wishing you all the best in your search dear xx
I am obsessed with cherry blossom 🌸 season. I had a goal to visit Tokyo during the Sakura and was blessed enough to be able to do that. It was one of the best trips of my life. So glad Japan is open again! Loving this series! 💖
@@Snow-xd4rv I know this question wasn’t directed to me, but I’ve also visited Tokyo and Kyoto (and several cool areas in between in Japan - twice) and wanted to share how I went in case it may help you. I went with a friend (who I actually met online - we shared similar interests - a love for the same Japanese band ♪) and she wanted to visit Japan and decided to go with a “small groups tour” she found online It was a British tour company (we’re both American) and it was about 14 people and the people were mostly British, American & Canadian and our tour guide was a late 20’s single British guy living in Japan for a few years. On my second tour most in our group were Australian & British and our tour guide was an early 40’s Australian guy married to a Japanese woman and he’d lived there for many years - both guides were really cool and knowledgeable and fluent in Japanese. And both tours had a large range of ages from 20’s to 70’s, and both tours had a mix of couples, singles, siblings traveling together, parents traveling with adult children, and friends traveling together). I researched the tour company online and did business/correspondence with them directly, so I felt confident it was legit, and then my friend and I met up in San Francisco from our respective states, and flew to Tokyo together.🗼 When I first went almost 10 years ago the tour we went on was about half the price it is now… BUT, there are other tour companies too (search “Intrepid Japan” or Google search “Japan tours” to find more companies - and of course, make sure you do a lot of research and check lots of reviews). The company we went with was called Inside Japan Tours, and you can find them online if you search that name. We paid for our flight & were advised to bring a few hundred USD, for spending money, which turned out to be an accurate amount for 9 days for temple entrances fees, excursions, lunch and dinners, & souvenirs, (also, we went early and stayed late so we were there for 14 days). On our tour, we paid for lunches and most dinners, and subway fares, entrances to temples and any other excursions, like Tokyo Tower, or Skytree, museums, most city cab and bus fares, etc. Our tour company did start us out with $30 on a subway card which was good. Included in our tour package, was accommodation for 9 days, breakfasts (from the hotels - most hotels were cheaper business hotels with simple Japanese and western style breakfasts, but a few were nicer hotels with really amazing breakfasts, and one was a traditional inn, called a ryokan that had its own small private onsen), and bullet train fare and JR Rail pass for longer distance travel within the country was included as well, $30 worth of subway fare to start with, and maybe 3 dinners. For a first time visitor, I thought the tour was really great. If I’d gone alone or just with a friend. I probably would have just gone to Tokyo, and I’m not a great planner, nor super motivated so I wouldn’t have gone nearly as far or seen nearly as much as I did had I gone on my own. Also, it would have been daunting to me to try to get bullet train reservation tickets and figuring out bus routes in rural areas, and accommodation, and all those many things that our guide did for us. Also, both guides took a smaller group of us, maybe 3-5 people who wanted to go, to cool bars in Tokyo and Kyoto and on hikes in historic areas, so those experiences were really cool as well. If a tour isn’t your thing (or the price isn’t your thing), I’d try to get someone to just go with me, like a friend or relative that would be down to go. Or even a friend of a friend or casual friend that you think is trustworthy and cool. If you’re just going to Tokyo, or other bigger or well-known cities, you can get by in most bigger cities without knowing any Japanese, so that’s really helpful. I hope you’ll find a way to go with a friend or relative or tour group. Japan was a really cool & memorable experience (I went in early spring, so I did see cherry blossoms but only about the last 2 days I was there - I did get to try lots of blossom inspired treats and drinks and see plum blossoms which bloom earlier) and I made friends with several other people on my tours from other countries, that I still keep in touch with almost 10 years later, which is really cool! Good luck on your future Japan adventure. I have faith that you will definitely go! :)
I truly love this for you. House hunting is so fun! Be sure to check the areas for landslide likelihood if you might end up near hills. It’s something I would never have considered until I saw a Gaijin Otousan vlog discussing landslide zones in his village in the countryside. Making sure you buy something that isn’t going to be a money pit is hard enough when you don’t have to worry about a wide variety of natural disasters, so Japan seems like house hunting hard mode 😅
Just found your channel and I’m already obsessed! Your so beautiful and charismatic in my favorite part of the world ! You are a joy to watch ,praying for good energy and luck to flood your life .
ngl, so far I'm loving the third house already sundai despite it being a bit pricey like the 2nd one and has a few setbacks but its in a nice area & the house looks amazing inside and outside (which is a must) but i do still have my mind set on the 1st house shown in the series as well so it's between both of them (the 1st & 3rd one) for now but we'll see as we go along in the series girl in finding you the perfect house!!! I'm now newly fond of Japanese traditional houses for real,................ ohhh imagine if one of these potential had a cherry blossom tree growing outside next to a window, that would be perfect!
thank you for this video, just found you and this feels like medicine to my dipression and fule to my dream. so fun to see. I need to start from the first episode tho
I have no idea why I find this so fascinating to watch - but every time another video from you pops up I have to watch it. I've never thought about going to Japan until I started watching these. I hope you find your dream home.
What a pleasant surprise, I was expecting a video on Sunday.🥰🥰 Yay!! House #3 was lovely, I totally agree with lack of garden space. I’m enjoying this series, keep ‘‘em coming.
Love these historically inclined et beautiful Japanese homes love! Can’t wait to see what you pick et the makeover/renovation process; happy hunting, lol, 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thank you for being optimistic. Thank you for sharing your dreams with us. Your videos are truly inspirational simply because of your attitude toward living the life you've dreamed about. I pray you get everything you want. ❤
Only half way through the video and I like the first house too. However the extra expense of getting a car and commuting to Tokyo, is something to seriously consider. Been vacate for 10 years, sounds like room to negotiate. Use that Sundai charm to get that price down.🤩💫
Great video, a lot of useful information. I am actually also house / land hunting in Ehime at the moment. We've been looking for the past year or so and have found a few good properties with large enough land within our budget, but there is always something that stops us from buying. Like a cemetery too close, schools too far, way too rural, etc. Good luck with your hunt!
If house number 3 has a view and garden space like house number 1. The place would have been so perfect. Wow, what a spacious and beautiful house. Property 1 and 3 are my favourites so far.
Love the videos, cannot wait to see what happens. They are not coming quick enough either🤣😂🤣😂 Hope at the end you find what or close to what you are looking for🙏🏾❤
My husband just had his second brain surgery in 3 months to remove a tumor. We just got home from the hospital. Just fed him and now that he’s resting I get to watch your video! So thank you girl!
The holes in the roof's, walls and subfloors... scary. But fine if you're gutting and starting over. I'm so proud of you for buying in Japan! I think.. you probably filmed these awhile ago and are just uploading now because there shouldn't be any cherry blossom trees in bloom right now. I can't wait to see what you decide to buy and love that you're sharing this journey!
Amazing content, I've been doing research on buying a home in Japan in the next few years, so any help and guidance is appreciated based on your experiences. House #3 was perfect
I really love your videos. I admire you so much and you give me inspiration for real. I’m currently stuck in Tokyo for the next two weeks and I got the heartbreaking news my mom is on her death bed and I can’t make it back in time or pay thousands of dollars to get back. So I’m just trying to keep my spirits up. Any who Im enjoying this series immensely.
Hey BOOOOOO! OMG NEICE!!! what a treat! Im at work , and I got your notification!! I had to tune in!!! (low key, hopefully my agents don't need me I'm about to stop all these flights! ) JK (not) no, yes I am JK 😉. Let me stop YAY!! That roof is Everything, I love this house ! That single bathroom is child size. Great Job . Thank you sharing!
I was surprised that we got a video today. I was just thinking I had nothing to watch it’s like you knew we needed this. I’m so excited to see which home you ended up choosing but loving the series so far!
I'm so glad you were able to find a cheap house. Thankfully Japan was not filled with trillion dollar houses that would be too expensive for any of us to afford
Girl every time I see that intro I tear up so much 😭 as a black woman I GET it. This is really helping me to work towards my "impossible" or "no way YOU could do this" type dreams this year
Here goes nothing
You got this boo!
true she inspires us so MUCH! 😭
If you believe in yourself then you can overcome any obstacle. Keep going, just because it's harder for certain people doesn't mean you should give up or not try your best! You can do it!
Herre goes SOMETHING! You better get it girl!!! We are rooting for you!

That is so dang awful I’m so sorry boo. Honestly, I can’t imagine losing my sibling it would be too much for me. At the same time I know she wouldn’t want me sad.

Is it wierd my japanese friends were laughing at her because the house is not modern
I feel like 3 is a contender so far! As for the garden you can always make a stone path and put a planters box there at the end and purchase or build arches to grow grapes or other vine type plants and also hang some too. Having this placed over the path or beside would so, gorgeous. 🌼 🌸 🌻 🌹 🏵

Thank you so much for sharing. I love learning about how things work in other countries. Especially how buying a house works.

The first house is my favorite out of all of them so far! The roof, the sliding doors, amount of natural light, washer and dryer 😮

I researched the tour company online and did business/correspondence with them directly, so I felt confident it was legit, and then my friend and I met up in San Francisco from our respective states, and flew to Tokyo together.🗼
When I first went almost 10 years ago the tour we went on was about half the price it is now… BUT, there are other tour companies too (search “Intrepid Japan” or Google search “Japan tours” to find more companies - and of course, make sure you do a lot of research and check lots of reviews). The company we went with was called Inside Japan Tours, and you can find them online if you search that name. We paid for our flight & were advised to bring a few hundred USD, for spending money, which turned out to be an accurate amount for 9 days for temple entrances fees, excursions, lunch and dinners, & souvenirs, (also, we went early and stayed late so we were there for 14 days).
On our tour, we paid for lunches and most dinners, and subway fares, entrances to temples and any other excursions, like Tokyo Tower, or Skytree, museums, most city cab and bus fares, etc. Our tour company did start us out with $30 on a subway card which was good.
Included in our tour package, was accommodation for 9 days, breakfasts (from the hotels - most hotels were cheaper business hotels with simple Japanese and western style breakfasts, but a few were nicer hotels with really amazing breakfasts, and one was a traditional inn, called a ryokan that had its own small private onsen), and bullet train fare and JR Rail pass for longer distance travel within the country was included as well, $30 worth of subway fare to start with, and maybe 3 dinners.
For a first time visitor, I thought the tour was really great. If I’d gone alone or just with a friend. I probably would have just gone to Tokyo, and I’m not a great planner, nor super motivated so I wouldn’t have gone nearly as far or seen nearly as much as I did had I gone on my own. Also, it would have been daunting to me to try to get bullet train reservation tickets and figuring out bus routes in rural areas, and accommodation, and all those many things that our guide did for us. Also, both guides took a smaller group of us, maybe 3-5 people who wanted to go, to cool bars in Tokyo and Kyoto and on hikes in historic areas, so those experiences were really cool as well.
If a tour isn’t your thing (or the price isn’t your thing), I’d try to get someone to just go with me, like a friend or relative that would be down to go. Or even a friend of a friend or casual friend that you think is trustworthy and cool.
If you’re just going to Tokyo, or other bigger or well-known cities, you can get by in most bigger cities without knowing any Japanese, so that’s really helpful. I hope you’ll find a way to go with a friend or relative or tour group. Japan was a really cool & memorable experience (I went in early spring, so I did see cherry blossoms but only about the last 2 days I was there - I did get to try lots of blossom inspired treats and drinks and see plum blossoms which bloom earlier) and I made friends with several other people on my tours from other countries, that I still keep in touch with almost 10 years later, which is really cool! Good luck on your future Japan adventure. I have faith that you will definitely go! :)
I truly love this for you. House hunting is so fun! Be sure to check the areas for landslide likelihood if you might end up near hills. It’s something I would never have considered until I saw a Gaijin Otousan vlog discussing landslide zones in his village in the countryside. Making sure you buy something that isn’t going to be a money pit is hard enough when you don’t have to worry about a wide variety of natural disasters, so Japan seems like house hunting hard mode 😅
You know you did really good editing when people are interested in watching the whole series after the first 5 seconds of the video❤ loveeee ittttttt
Great way to end my Thursday after a rough day in the classroom. WOOO!!! episodes of house hunting here we go!
Just found your channel and I’m already obsessed! Your so beautiful and charismatic in my favorite part of the world ! You are a joy to watch ,praying for good energy and luck to flood your life .
The best 30 seconds intro ever seen! Congrats for all your achievements! And your tenacity!
Haven't watched yet but don't forget about your February wash day!
I love #4 there is so much mid century in it. And east meets west flare, but I can see how it might have been to expensive to repair!
I love this ! You are blessed !!! Seeeing you is so inspiring!!
ngl, so far I'm loving the third house already sundai despite it being a bit pricey like the 2nd one and has a few setbacks but its in a nice area & the house looks amazing inside and outside (which is a must) but i do still have my mind set on the 1st house shown in the series as well so it's between both of them (the 1st & 3rd one) for now but we'll see as we go along in the series girl in finding you the perfect house!!! I'm now newly fond of Japanese traditional houses for real,................ ohhh imagine if one of these potential had a cherry blossom tree growing outside next to a window, that would be perfect!
thank you for this video, just found you and this feels like medicine to my dipression and fule to my dream. so fun to see. I need to start from the first episode tho
I have no idea why I find this so fascinating to watch - but every time another video from you pops up I have to watch it. I've never thought about going to Japan until I started watching these. I hope you find your dream home.
I am ABSOLUTELY LOVING this series! I can’t to see what you buy and how you renovate it!!!
That's a very very good idea.... more N1,6.63.,R5.. need to pack their things and move to japan...
What a pleasant surprise, I was expecting a video on Sunday.🥰🥰 Yay!! House #3 was lovely, I totally agree with lack of garden space. I’m enjoying this series, keep ‘‘em coming.
Love these historically inclined et beautiful Japanese homes love! Can’t wait to see what you pick et the makeover/renovation process; happy hunting, lol, 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I like your voice it’s super relaxing 😌
I can tell you watched a lot of Disney shows growing up, I’m getting 2000s Disney vibes from the way you talk ♥️
The perfect closet room with the sliding doors 😍😍😍
Props! Great vid, and congratulations to how far you've come! ❤
It was the coneheads for me lol love this series! I cant wait to see what you end up with...excited for you!
Thank you for being optimistic. Thank you for sharing your dreams with us. Your videos are truly inspirational simply because of your attitude toward living the life you've dreamed about. I pray you get everything you want. ❤
都心を離れると空き家が沢山ありますよね😀素敵な家が見つかる事を願っています👍
Thanks 🥰
I love you. This is inspiring so many women and men for that sake
Wow good luck with buying a new house in Japan you gave me so much inspiration can’t wait to visit Japan 🇯🇵
I love house 3, but it's so huge just for you and the pet's.
You are amazing! Go Sundai! Voy a ti!
Sundai, thank you for everything you create. As well as show us.
The intro ✨a videographic master piece
Cause why are your intros the best thing on youtube❤️❤️
Only half way through the video and I like the first house too.
However the extra expense of getting a car and commuting to Tokyo, is something to seriously consider.
Been vacate for 10 years, sounds like room to negotiate.
Use that Sundai charm to get that price down.🤩💫
Great video, a lot of useful information. I am actually also house / land hunting in Ehime at the moment. We've been looking for the past year or so and have found a few good properties with large enough land within our budget, but there is always something that stops us from buying. Like a cemetery too close, schools too far, way too rural, etc. Good luck with your hunt!
If house number 3 has a view and garden space like house number 1. The place would have been so perfect. Wow, what a spacious and beautiful house. Property 1 and 3 are my favourites so far.
That 1st house was nice, I loved all the surrounding wood land area. Too bad it didn't have enough yard. It would have been perfect
Love the videos, cannot wait to see what happens. They are not coming quick enough either🤣😂🤣😂 Hope at the end you find what or close to what you are looking for🙏🏾❤
Subscribed just because of your intro ❤ I wish I never listened to those voices about myself! But it’s never too late to defy the odds
Yay!!! Let me take my mind off my crazy life for a while.
Girl! Like Why is life so crazy right now 😢
My husband just had his second brain surgery in 3 months to remove a tumor. We just got home from the hospital. Just fed him and now that he’s resting I get to watch your video! So thank you girl!
Omg I’m going to use u as reference when doing this, since in the future I wanna relocate to Japan and buy a aiyaka
The holes in the roof's, walls and subfloors... scary. But fine if you're gutting and starting over. I'm so proud of you for buying in Japan! I think.. you probably filmed these awhile ago and are just uploading now because there shouldn't be any cherry blossom trees in bloom right now. I can't wait to see what you decide to buy and love that you're sharing this journey!
Loving these videos!!! I love Japanese style houses and seeing these makes me want to live in Japan again!!
You sound like such fellow a blerd! Subbing! Looking to move back to Japan, in the Aomori prefecture.... soooo I'm going to sniff around your channel~
I’m so excited for these kind of videos
Amazing content, I've been doing research on buying a home in Japan in the next few years, so any help and guidance is appreciated based on your experiences. House #3 was perfect
This is so interesting slay queen get tht dream houseee
This house reminds me of the house in the movie Wolf Children so I was definitely kind of in love
I really love your videos. I admire you so much and you give me inspiration for real. I’m currently stuck in Tokyo for the next two weeks and I got the heartbreaking news my mom is on her death bed and I can’t make it back in time or pay thousands of dollars to get back. So I’m just trying to keep my spirits up. Any who Im enjoying this series immensely.
First time here and just subscribed, halfway into the intro 😌
2:58 Just need to stop and say I love your music choices 😌Edit: Shazam says the song is named “Sunday”! 🔥😎
Hey BOOOOOO! OMG NEICE!!! what a treat! Im at work , and I got your notification!! I had to tune in!!! (low key, hopefully my agents don't need me I'm about to stop all these flights! ) JK (not) no, yes I am JK 😉. Let me stop YAY!! That roof is Everything, I love this house ! That single bathroom is child size. Great Job . Thank you sharing!
😭🥰🥹
Wow the first house is beautiful despite the damages! There's a lot of rooms but very spacious!
I was surprised that we got a video today. I was just thinking I had nothing to watch it’s like you knew we needed this. I’m so excited to see which home you ended up choosing but loving the series so far!
Getting dann excited - this series is so damn well made! And btw you look stunning!!!!!
I'm so glad you were able to find a cheap house. Thankfully Japan was not filled with trillion dollar houses that would be too expensive for any of us to afford
House 3 was beautiful. I love the tile on the outside and inside of the entry on House 4.
I hope u get to 500k this year
Love it. I was pleasantly surprised to see a video from you tonight!!! Awesome. Love these
First house was greattttt how much work will fixing hte center leak and roof be though. a dryer wtf!
