So I wanted to share a quick update: Channel Memberships are officially live on the channel!
I set up two tiers for anyone who wants to help support these videos: Highballers ($2.99) and Shonan All-Stars ($4.99).
Nothing changes for regular uploads. All the main videos will stay 100% free. But if you want to join, you get unlisted early access to new uploads around 24 to 48 hours before they go public, custom badges in the comments (new badges coming soon), and casual behind-the-scenes life updates from the Big C by the sea in Chigasaki.
Whether you decide to join or just hang out in the comments, I really appreciate you all being here. The next video is what happened when I moved back to America after living in Japan for over 2 years. After that, it's a long-requested one, and it details why I moved to Shonan in the first place. We'll see you guys next time! - Andy.
Hey guys! So I'm sorry for missing the Sunday posting time, but I've been tweaking the script to my latest video, and it's a topic that's near and dear to my heart: Why Modern Japan Vlogs Feel Like Commercials. In it, I go over a comment I received that hit on something I've been thinking about for years but didn't know how to put the words to, and that's the over-commercialization of Japan content, not to mention the Beastification-style of over-editing. As a freelance video editor and YouTuber in my own right, I've been torn on the topic and I want to explain the history of making videos in Japan, why I feel the way I do about the current state of Japan content, the rise of a back-to-basics counter-movement, and how I'll be making stuff moving forward to beat imposter syndrome and get back to just making the damn videos already lol! So major shout-out to ‪@phizual‬ for giving me the spark I needed to finally made my voice heard on this! And we'll see you, very soon, next time! - Andy.
Hey guys! So I just posted 2 videos today. They were originally gonna be one, but I decided to separate them since they have different audiences, even though they're at the same place. A bit short, but I had a good time at Aloha Market in Chigasaki, just a hop, skip, and jump from where I am. I'm also working on a new vlog talking about some stuff that's been on my mind for awhile now, like how I haven't been truthful to you guys about stuff going on in my life and how that's affected my videos. And who knows? I might even finally work on those two AndyJapandy videos I filmed earlier this year. May has definitely invigorated me as we move into summer! - Andy.
Hey guys! So I know in my vlogs I can sound a bit negative, but I want you guys to know that overall, life is good. I'll talk about a situation or something specific I don't like, but on the whole, life is good. And this weekend was a keen reminder of that. Thank you! - Andy.
