Thanks to your support, I'm going HERE! (Aogashima)
Added 2017-07-06 07:20:06 +0000 UTC- Thank you all for the continued support for the last few months. Because of it, I am making my first Patreon sponsored trip this month to -- AOGASHIMA!! It's a place no YouTuber has gone yet because of the distance and expenses. It requires a helicopter ride! Population: 160
I will be here for almost 10 days making a story for ONLY in JAPAN. It's all because of the support here and I can best thank you with an amazing episode and loads of stories. I think I can post photos but the signal from the island is weak. Boy, will I have a lot to tell you when I get back!!!! I've been planning it for a month, helicopter booked. Get ready to join me. We're going for an adventure -- and believe it or not, THIS IS TOKYO!!!!!

2017-07-07 03:47:11 +0000 UTCI just made my reservation for the lodge there. Will camp half the time too. The lodge owner (there are 4-5 places to stay) spoke neutral Japanese a little slower than the mainland but this is an awesome question and I'll see what kind of cultural difference they have. There are only 160 people living here so I get he feeling that it's history is not so long but who knows what I'll discover. I've got a lot of time to figure out all the mysteries.

2017-07-07 03:30:43 +0000 UTCJohn! That is a SICK photo of the island!! I'm so excited for this! My biggest curiosity: Can you please find out the details of the language there? Do they have their own dialect? What is the culture like there ? Thank you so much for always keeping us on our toes! I'm looking forward for anything and everything aogashima!

2017-07-07 01:13:20 +0000 UTCI will definitely be camping! βΊοΈ this is an island I saw photos of on the internet and was amazed but it's shape. I called the island tourism office (one man office!) and he gave me all the details and advice. There really isn't much info. I'm curious how islanders live and why they live there. It's still part of Tokyo and yet -- it's a thousand km away! Just a quite island and I think it'll make an amazing story. There are a few islands even further out in the Pacific actually! But one seems right :)

2017-07-07 00:53:47 +0000 UTCWow! A heli ride to the islandβ¦now thatβs epic! Canβt wait to see what story youβre going to whip up and share. Out of curiosity why did you pick Aogashima and not other islands? And will you be camping on the island?

2017-07-06 22:42:15 +0000 UTCI envy all of your experiences in Japan. Even the ones that probably seem a little borderline mundane to you are very interesting to all of us watching...

2017-07-06 14:42:01 +0000 UTCOMG John - Your'e going to make my dream come true. I wanted to include this island in our upcoming trip after reading about it (especially about how it's related to my beloved movie "Your Name") but gave up on the idea because it's almost impossible to get there. I remember reading it and thinking to myself: "well, that's a place that I don't think any YouTuber had traveled to yet". Such a great news! Keep on being so innovative! (Hila~)
