sad we didn't get to see your yukata in full length. Have you considered having one of your friend's film some shots so that way there is a variation of up close and further away videos?
Such a pretty festival . And I would have bought all the plushies, sad to say, at the Ghibli store. Or, all the planters out front. And you looked so pretty, and elegant in your new ghee (?). I loved the color scheme. You make me smile. 🙂
An older Japanese woman taught me to always remember "Leftover rice" to remember left over right while we were living there! It has always helped me to keep it straight for my yukata and kimono and even my jinbei!
That’s an amazing way to remember! I always get confused which is for living and deceased. When I did kendo, the gi had specific internal ties so it was never something I thought about.
I was watching some of Sharla’s older videos and I swear this woman does not age. She looks just as young and beautiful as she did in her first videos. Chris is certainly a lucky man.
Chris being a goober at the end xD Those paper cranes were so beautiful! Hopefully I can see them in person one year 🙏 Also Tsuna is so cute! Getting so big ^^bb Ahh, one of the cutest cats ever!!!
One thing I've learned from cats is that the cuter they are, the more miserable you are. My cat back when she was a kitten often made my day a lot harder but as she grows up, she gradually getting calmer and more snuggly, though she's no longer a kitten. I had to make a trip to kitchen ware store twice in a week cause that lil bugger knocked the dishes I'm washing off the damn counter, twice in that week. Don't get fooled by their cuteness, you fell for it on your own peril.
Aren’t they so nice!! Come visit during Aug next year and let’s go together🥰🥰 I think my last festival vid was us putting on Yukata for the festival that ended up not existing😂😂
Thank you for sharing your footage from this festival! My husband and I got engaged in Japan during Tanabata and loved the tradition so much we incorporated it into our wedding - we tied our own wishes to bamboo during our ceremony and asked our guests to tie wishes to bamboo as a guestbook. We did attend a festival in Tokyo during our visit and it was so fun! So this made me think of lots of happy memories! 🥰🎋
Omg, I finally hear Chris speak Japanese! And lol him waving until you turned the camera off. That is a really awesome yukata. And Tuna being a bad boy was funny.
I wish most of the festivals in Japan didn't happen during summer. I usually visit in autumn because I'm nordic and can't handle the humid heat 😂 We got to go to Takayama during the autumn festival one year though. Very crowdy, but fun!
Yes totally agree😂 A festival during autumn would be amazingggg. I guess it’s nice that’s there’s ONE thing to look forward to during summer here though😅
@@sharlainjapan Japanese summer is absolutely terrible. Two months in and near Tokyo when I arrived in June were enough for me to go to Hokkaido for this entire month.
It was super fun hanging out with everyone :D Looking forward to next year's Tanabata! Thanks again for inviting me out! (also, Tuna is way too adorable XD)
I love that there is a beautiful festival to enjoy "just because" of a cute romantic and kind of sad story. What a great excuse to dress up, decorate, and gather! Looks amazing, thanks for taking us with you!
Tanabata Matsuri is my favourite Japanese holiday, it's beautiful! Here in Brazil, the Japanese community throws a beautiful Tanabata on São Paulo and I'm there whenever I can! ❤ I'm glad to see Sendai's Tanabata!
Such a sad but cute story of the two lovers. Love that the festival is fun though since it is celebrating the one day they could meet and be happy!!! I really love the backstories to most of the festivals and how it is celebrated.
Sharla your yukata was gorgeous 💕 I really love the koi and the accessories 💕 I hope you are having a nice summer 🥰 PS.: Tuna is super cute 🥰 and he has grown so much already hahaha mischievous Tuna as Chris called 🤣🥰
I really like how the Japanese always have a story behind their public holidays. Over here in Australia, we only get a public holiday when the footy is on, when teachers can't be bothered teaching and want a three day weekend and when the queen has a birthday every 8 weeks.
As American, I can say that, like Canada, our Independence Day is also in the summer on July 4th. It is the only summer holiday we get in America apart from Juneteeth, which was recently added in June 2021.
Be me, watching the Tanabata decorations and start to cry a little, because they are so beautiful... The cranes really made me tear up the most. I hope everyone had a great Tanabata and a lovely time with family and friends. ~
It’s my 30th wedding anniversary and my husband and I are at home sick with COVID. Such a disappointment but this video really cheered me up. The festival was beautiful and so we’re you!
What a pretty Yukata Sharla! 😍 This vlog was so dreamy ☁️✨ I’ve never been to Sendai so thanks for sharing! Another thing added to my list to do in Japan
When you took a drink of your cocktail 😄 the reaction was so funny. Its so beautiful & colorful there in japan. I would go broke with all the shopping. I love your videos showing everything you experience there since i know i will never be able to travel overseas.
Tanabata has always been the dream festival for me. I hope I can visit Sendai in time for it one day 🎋✨ Seeing all of those cranes and their message really moved me, so overall I was feeling very misty eyed up until the restaurant scene where they started making all of that birthday chaos! As a puertorican it was a very familiar level of noise and antics 😹 Thank you for always taking us to these wonderful sights and experiences with you! For those of us that can only dream of traveling, it makes us feel like we were part of the fun and the magic. 😸💕
I loved this video. A bonus watching you advertising Sakuraco boxes is the little preview I get of what's coming each month...tsuki festival treats, I can't wait 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Your Sendai tanabata festival looks so pretty & gorgeous, the colours & the relaxed vibe with everyone out looking summery... & that crane display! Sugoi!!! Team No Cilantro represent👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
I love your content because it's always so wholesome! I always know that if I'm having a bad day, I can always come back to your videos to prop me up a little bit!
I started watching your videos when you first came out on RUclips. You got me through some rough times, seriously. I always enjoy your adventures, and feel like you're such a genuine and beautiful person. Thank you for always sharing your life with us.
Whoa, the markings around Tuna's eyes are so striking. He grew up to be a handsome boy. And you look so cute in your yukata! And the festival was beautiful! I was smiling and laughing the whole way through, thanks Sharla.
Chris looked so hunted there at the end when the birthday stuff started up i thought it was going to be his or something XD this is gorgeous! Thank you so much for sharing the celebration with us.
How refreshing to find a new video from Sharla on a day at home from work bco sickness! So pretty and genuinely sweet as usual ☺☺ You are a breath of radiant air in a normally gloomy world! Thank you so much for always putting a smile on all of our faces ❤
The decorations were lovely, just like the decorations in your airbnb, I watched a vlog posted by your first customer, your place looks great! I liked the little touches of the cute magnets and stationary you provided.
Very quick but sweet video. I miss our local festivals and travelling fairs even though I get sick on the rides the games and food were always fun. I hope 2023 sees them make a come back.
I just finished watching Markiplier play The Mortuary Assistant before this and when the light goes out behind Sharla at 46 seconds into the video it made me jump a bit. Haha.
@@sharlainjapan it was!! We should do a proper trip someday where you can vlog and I take pictures 😁 maybe Shikoku you need a driver for that anyway. 😂 Cat Island was like you said a bit depressing and it should be dragonfly island. Saw so many of them 😮
Such beautiful decorations for a romantic night. I love the blue and white cranes and their symbolism. Thanks so much for sharing! Much love and positive vibes from Montana. ✨💖✨
Ooh I love festivals and yukata! Definitely wore mine the wrong way around a few times, and probably too short. Also, I was already laughing about the birthday celebration and then Chris turning his wave into a photobomb made me laugh so hard, I coughed!
Tanabata is my favourite Japanese Holiday too (but I could be biased because it’s my birthday!) It’s interesting that Sendai tanabata is a different date (August 6th-8th) to the rest of Japan (July 7th)! Your new Yukata is really beautiful! 😻
Here to talk about trivia although no one asked for it! The old lunar calendar runs about a month later seasonally than the Gregorian western calendar. When the western modern calendar was adopted, there were two camps of thought. One camp including the people of Sendai said let's keep celebrating things around the same time of year. This also goes for many regions in Asia observing Lunar New Year in what is approximately February on the Gregorian calendar. The other camp including the Japanese government said that since celebrations with repeated odd numbers like New Years (January 1st), Hina-doll festival (March 3rd), Children's day (May 5th), Tanabata (July 7th), and Cho-yo chrysanthemum festival (September 9th) are celebrated in part to ward-off the bad luck of too much Yin energy, it should be celebrated on the day with those numbers on whatever calendar everyone is using at the time. Hence, the Japanese national holiday of Children's day is held on May 5th. Thanks for reading my unwarranted bit of trivia.
Tanabata was traditionally celebrated on the 7th day of the 7th Lunar calendar month of which the exact date differs each year on the western calendar! Each Lunar calendar month has 30 days, the 1st is always a new moon and the 15th is always a full moon! (Sometimes plus or minus one day in the west due to time zone different, say sometimes it's was full moon a day early on 14th in the UK but full moon on 15th in Hong Kong)
Tuna is growing into such an handsome boy! He has that mischievous stare that younger sibling kittens have. My youngest cat has the same look! I love it! 😆
This made me think of 2 Japanese movies. The red goldfish is "Bitter Honey". The story of the loved ones "My tomorrow Your Yesterday". Don't watch that if you have a soft heart. You'll just bawl your eyes out. Thank you Sharmeleon this was beautiful.
Oh Sharla I could watch your videos all day haha. They're just so perfect. Man I had a rough day and relaxing with this video and a cup of tea was so perfect I almost cried. Thank you for continuing on with your videos all this time. I don't know what I'd do if you stopped. 💓
The story of the festival had me teary... "They get to meet one day of the year..." thank you for sharing this unique and tremendous festival. The decorations are really something!
Wow definitely something I need to see in this lifetime!! All the decorations, especially the paper cranes, were so beautiful!! The meaning behind the festival is so sweet too. Love from Canada!!! ❤️❤️
I'm so happy that Sendai got to celebrate Tanabata this year! ❤️ Thank you so much for taking us along, seeing all the bright colors and people enjoying the festivities really made my day 🥰
So calm and graceful; a lesson on how to enjoy being where you are. And the voice from the Island is a boost for homesick British Columbians. Thanks eh.
😍Wow! Thanks for sharing this footage with us Sharla. The festival looks beautiful. And that restaurant Birthday celebration seemed like an oddly appropriate send off for the vid😆.

You're funny to mention toned down RIGHT after the "I don't know what she's saying but gurl, I am living." restaurant.
sad we didn't get to see your yukata in full length. Have you considered having one of your friend's film some shots so that way there is a variation of up close and further away videos?
@@Nadia-ox1kf Some traditional, Japanese-fashion-focused topics like this sound quite interesting.
Such a pretty festival . And I would have bought all the plushies, sad to say, at the Ghibli store. Or, all the planters out front. And you looked so pretty, and elegant in your new ghee (?). I loved the color scheme. You make me smile. 🙂
An older Japanese woman taught me to always remember "Leftover rice" to remember left over right while we were living there! It has always helped me to keep it straight for my yukata and kimono and even my jinbei!
Love that!!
That's such a good way to remember!
That’s an amazing way to remember! I always get confused which is for living and deceased. When I did kendo, the gi had specific internal ties so it was never something I thought about.
This is amazing!! Haha 👏🏻👏🏻
That was a lovely festival. Your yukata is awesome. You look great in it. Thank you for sharing
It was so much fun meeting up! Let's do it again at another festival
Let me know if there are any other cool festivals coming up near Sendai!! 🙌🏻
I was watching some of Sharla’s older videos and I swear this woman does not age.
She looks just as young and beautiful as she did in her first videos.
Chris is certainly a lucky man.
Chris being a goober at the end xD
Those paper cranes were so beautiful! Hopefully I can see them in person one year 🙏
Also Tsuna is so cute! Getting so big ^^bb Ahh, one of the cutest cats ever!!!

Don't get fooled by their cuteness, you fell for it on your own peril.
Love a good ball and that's what you get.
So my long suffering wife says anyway
@@kueapel911 You think xD My old cat was a cutie and he was such a sweetie...Maybe I gave him too many treats...
@@TimStamper89 Don't worry my husband is a goober as well, its all love and well intended hehe
Being a goober I think is a sign you got a good guy cause they are honest in spite themselves
"I'm going to eat this pudding, before Chris gets here" LOL thats hilarious. And also a good idea.
I laughed at this too. I also have to be stealthy with my treat consumption, living with my sweet-toothed husband. 😂
You look so pretty ❤️ the decorations were so nice, I love that crane one 😍

Aww I’m glad you enjoy them!! Thank you🥰
@@sharlainjapan you're so sweet and wholesome 😍
All the decorations made me tear up, especially the blue paper cranes 💙
Glad I wasn’t alone on that one 😅
I thought something was wrong with me when I teared up as well, it was just so beautiful and meaningful. I'm glad there were others that did as well
I love that you showed Tuna!! We need to see more of him and Maru together.
I agree with you
Omg, I finally hear Chris speak Japanese! And lol him waving until you turned the camera off.

It was super fun hanging out with everyone :D
Looking forward to next year's Tanabata! Thanks again for inviting me out!
(also, Tuna is way too adorable XD)
Yesss! I hope it’s the proper long ones next year!! 🤞🏻✨✨

Looking forward to see you next time!!
Victor you are looking fresh in the this vid! 🔥 (not to say you don't always)
The first glimps we get from Chris, is him ordering fried chicken, somethings never change and hopefully never will, god bless you guys...
Japanese Language teacher told about these Festivals. It was nice to see what Tanabata Festival looks like. Also nice to see Ryotaro and Chris!
Sharla, the music you choose for your videos is always so perfect, just so chill and mellowing. Keep it up.
Any time Sharla uploads a vlog is a good time! 💜🎉
Your outfit was so lovely! Seems Chris is very excited to video-bomb your blogs now that he can lol.
What have I done😂

A way to remember how to put on yukata the right way - is to go over (toward) your heart first 🥰
Thanks for sharing with us Sharla! Happy to see you hanging out with Victor and the gang.

You look so pretty 💕 I love the decorations, they make everything colorful and joyful.

Here to talk about trivia although no one asked for it!
The old lunar calendar runs about a month later seasonally than the Gregorian western calendar.
When the western modern calendar was adopted, there were two camps of thought.
One camp including the people of Sendai said let's keep celebrating things around the same time of year. This also goes for many regions in Asia observing Lunar New Year in what is approximately February on the Gregorian calendar.
The other camp including the Japanese government said that since celebrations with repeated odd numbers like New Years (January 1st), Hina-doll festival (March 3rd), Children's day (May 5th), Tanabata (July 7th), and Cho-yo chrysanthemum festival (September 9th) are celebrated in part to ward-off the bad luck of too much Yin energy, it should be celebrated on the day with those numbers on whatever calendar everyone is using at the time. Hence, the Japanese national holiday of Children's day is held on May 5th.
Thanks for reading my unwarranted bit of trivia.
@@AnnaMorimoto Not unwarranted at all! Rather, thank you for saving me the time googling it because I was super curious!
@@AnnaMorimoto thanks so much for clarifying that for me, it was really helpful to understand the double Tanabata date in Japan! :)
Tanabata was traditionally celebrated on the 7th day of the 7th Lunar calendar month of which the exact date differs each year on the western calendar! Each Lunar calendar month has 30 days, the 1st is always a new moon and the 15th is always a full moon! (Sometimes plus or minus one day in the west due to time zone different, say sometimes it's was full moon a day early on 14th in the UK but full moon on 15th in Hong Kong)
Tuna is growing into such an handsome boy! He has that mischievous stare that younger sibling kittens have. My youngest cat has the same look! I love it! 😆
I love when Chris is in other creator's videos and drops his sarcastic persona and just goofs around
Not that I dislike the sarcasm, I just like seeing the playful side of him as well
Sharla looks so amazing!! I'm 10 years younger and I never have looked this amazing. Her face is glowing and I love the koi pattern. Lovely!
This made me think of 2 Japanese movies. The red goldfish is "Bitter Honey". The story of the loved ones "My tomorrow Your Yesterday". Don't watch that if you have a soft heart. You'll just bawl your eyes out. Thank you Sharmeleon this was beautiful.
LOL Chris is so funny 🤣 i need to him and sharla do cheesy RUclipsr couple challenges now
Loved the vibe of Tanabata 💜 thank you for sharing with us 🫶🏻
Glad you liked it!!🌸
Oh Sharla I could watch your videos all day haha. They're just so perfect. Man I had a rough day and relaxing with this video and a cup of tea was so perfect I almost cried. Thank you for continuing on with your videos all this time. I don't know what I'd do if you stopped. 💓

Thanks for sharing Japanese culture in this personal way with us. Love the Yukata you picked. Also, Tuna my little chaos kitten.😍
Years and years now still watching your videos! I love Tanabata you're in the correct place for it! 🤠

Wow I love that yukata! And I'm so glad Tuna made a guest appearance that lil' fluff is adorable!
I really like the black/red yukata, very pretty! Glad it looks like it worked out, size wise
Lmao Sharla, the end where Chris is just waiving and you put the wtf caption was so funny😂
Chris smile was so funy at the end of the video
That looks like fun! Glad they have festivals back now even though it's not completely the same as it usually would be. Also the cats are so cute!!!
I’ve lived in Japan for 22 years and I’ve loved every minute, but my 2017-2019 in Sendai was a highlight! Great video.
Looks like a beautiful festival.Love your yukata,so pretty.
Also,love your cats.🥰Thanks for showing this.
So calm and graceful; a lesson on how to enjoy being where you are. And the voice from the Island is a boost for homesick British Columbians. Thanks eh.
This video is so lovely, Sharla!! I had a really fun time watching it and felt really happy.
Tuna and maro are amazing i love tunas eyes
シャーラーさんお元気そうでなによりです！
応援してます‼️
Just finished with work and saw this - it’s like a reward for me 🥹💕
I absolutely love your videos & feel comfy watching them, thank you for sharing!
Thank you, the festival looked magical.
😍Wow! Thanks for sharing this footage with us Sharla. The festival looks beautiful. And that restaurant Birthday celebration seemed like an oddly appropriate send off for the vid😆.
