Catch me on episode 500!
I believe I did 40+ episodes of Tokyo Eye between Oct 2008 and early 2012. I started ONLY in JAPAN in Feb 2013. The experience of being a part of a TV show for many years like this helped shaped the series I produce today for you. It was an honor to be called in for this and remember one of the longest running programs on NHK WORLD or just “world” for those at NHK.
It was a cold day last month and I was recovering from the flu, but it couldn’t be canceled. We’d scheduled this 3...

Patreon Sponsored Video no.1 of 2019 / Tea
First of all thank you for the support to make this series grow! Over the last few months, content has decreased a little as I redo the style and format of the series. We're nearly done! I'll update you on the animated opening in a week or so and I've found a couple of people to help with camera and production. Having a good system and team before starting is essential for long term success. Next up: Our Patreon Sponsored Episode! Every year I take time to plan and make a special episode tota...

It’s hard to know exactly WHEN this will happen but it look like TONIGHT! I am looking for 2-3 moderators who are awake (it’ll be quite early in the US) for this. Basically keep the chat clean and delete spam and anything truely offensive. Our usual mods will be approved in the main channel :) looking at Wagyu course meals in Ginza now! Yum.

(2) Animated OIJ Opening - I'll have an update mid month with the animators!
