00:00:00 John Daub: Hello, this is the time of year that I love the most, cherry blossom season. This is one of my favorite parks, not too far away from Ginza and Tokyo Station. Above us is a cherry blossom tree, a Somei Yoshino, that's apparently in full bloom, but I think it's not quite there. Let me turn on the light, because when you do, the colors just really come alive. Looks like popcorn. And I know this year so many of you couldn't make it to Tokyo, so this is another reason why I must break out and bring you outside and show you some of these beautiful cherry blossoms live. That's right, it's a little bit after midnight here in the city of Tokyo. Check it out! Wow! How you doing everybody? That is an Eiffel! Stunning, isn't it?

00:01:10 John Daub: I'm watching from, I took you way up there, as far as I could reach to see up on the top there. I always do this, I travel with a light. Let's come into the corner here. I travel with a light when I do the cherry blossoms at night. And this gives us, I think with the contrast, the black sky and the white light, it just brings the blossoms out and they really pop. And if you're a photographer, if you can get a long exposure with just a little bit of light shining on it, it's so beautiful. The night photos come out so well. I'm not so far, I'm right off of the Sumida River.

00:01:53 John Daub: That sign there says Sumida River. And we're gonna walk now around this park from one side to the other, which just goes around the Sumida River from Tsukishima to Tsukuda. So let's go. I like, I wanted to start here because it looks very much like a tunnel. You see this? Where there's some trees on the left and the right. It's a perfect night for a walk because there's no wind. Usually in the spring at this time of year you have loads and loads of wind. Lots of wind and it really ruins a livestream. But not today. This is too perfect of a day. Wow. It is stunning.

00:02:41 John Daub: I don't think that they're 100%. I think we're not at mankai (full bloom). I think we're close. I just don't think that a lot of the city is not quite there yet. But I know that this year is the earliest on for Tokyo that I can remember. The earliest in Japan, I believe was in Kochi Prefecture on March 10th, ten years ago. Eleven years ago. It was really early. But this year it was 12 days early according to the index tree at Yasukuni Shrine, which is super early than usual. Wow. It's not even close to, this is good news because that means we have about a week left of really good cherry blossom viewing. It looks like it's going to be a good day. It's like the, you can tell because you see here it's, there's still buds. They're not fully opened and that is very good news.

00:03:57 John Daub: Just there's no maids here. Who wrote that? This is the normal Tokyo. This is called the neighborhood area of Tokyo. All right. I'm going to turn around and show you a map just to show you exactly where we are here. I can keep the light on. So you can see there's a Sumida River right here in the center of your screen. And this park that goes around the tip of Tsukuda is full of sakura (cherry blossom) blossoms. You can even see them here. We're going to be ending right there. So we're going to walk around this V-shaped part over the course of the next 30 minutes or so. This is where the Sumida River goes this way. And this is where Kanae Daub danced about three years ago.

00:04:31 John Daub: So I'm pretty excited about this because this is one of my favorite places for the cherry blossoms because it's not, there's like almost nobody who comes here. Just us. That guy's holding a light too. Oh, they're going to do like some kind of photograph scene. Right. So let's really take it in. There's also a lot of apartment buildings. So you can see the tower apartment buildings right there with the cherry blossoms. I'm going to, as we go around here, you're going to see the river start to open up a little bit. I could look at these all day. What makes it so beautiful is that there are just so many of them. There's so many of them all around the city, all around Japan.

00:05:40 John Daub: Now, these are younger ones that are spread out and they are not, I guess they're about 70% bloomed, but over the course of the next decade, they're just going to get fuller and fuller growing more and more. And these are a little bit, it's a little bit cooler on the backside of the apartment buildings. And you can see that they, the blossoms. So let me get the light a little bit brighter. There you go. You can see that there's, there's still about this. This one looks like about 70% bloomed. Just kind of spitballing it here. So it's got a little ways to go. A sakura doesn't have much of a smell. Just like a sweet floral smell. Very, very light.

00:06:47 John Daub: You can see this one. This one is just buds. This one is about 50% bloomed. So I'm not sure what the news is saying where it's mankai. I don't think so. Check it out. I mean, boom. That does not look mankai to me. That looks like it's about, yeah, 50% for this tree. It's a younger tree. But it's definitely Somei Yoshino. Definitely Somei Yoshino. Wow, it's a shame. And I know so many of you wanted to come. And I wanted you all to come here to Tokyo as well to enjoy these because this is the most celebrated time for foreign visitors to come to Japan. And yet, there's no tourism to Japan. And it's going to be really quiet. And we kind of have it all to ourselves.

00:07:36 John Daub: But this area probably wouldn't have that many foreign tourists anyways. This is a very local place. And I've always said the most special place to see cherry blossoms is your own hometown, your own neighborhood. The tree that you walk by every day and just sort of miss. I'm making a music video here. Oh, that's awesome. This is a place that's very famous for taking pictures and for music videos. It's a really quiet place. And it's a very, very famous place. They're playing the music and he's lip syncing it. Do you see that? Ah, that's so cool. You're not the only one. No, I'm not. This tree is magnificent. Look at her. It just looks like popcorn, right? It's really nice.

00:09:19 John Daub: All right, I gotta... I'm trying to ditch these people. I'm gonna climb up on this tree. I'm gonna beat it. Beat it with your copyrighted music. How long are they gonna do this? Just bugger off. They're playing copyrighted music as a way for him so he can lip sync. This is a free country, man. Except when you're playing copyrighted music. Everybody knows that. Oh, they're coming back again. They're ruining my livestream. With this... Look at him. He's all alone. This is the scene. He's all alone. Some girl broke up with him because he's a loser. He's walking all by himself down in Tsukuda. Crybaby. You know what? Go get a PlayStation 5. It'll cheer you up, buddy. Just saying. Right? Stop being depressed, man. There's plenty of other fish in the sea.

00:10:47 John Daub: All right. Now that you know this and I've given you some of my wisdom, just bugger off. I came here at midnight for a reason. They probably did too. I'm sure they're saying the same thing. Oh, they're there again. Just stop following me. I'm gonna go shine a light on them. They're following me, these people. See, look. It's a music video. All right, good. They buggered off. All right, that's good news. Oh, look at this. This is with the apartment buildings. You know, all those... I could hear the song. I don't know if it was being picked up by you guys here.

00:11:51 John Daub: I want to be honest with you. All these J-pop songs by these Johnny's talents, they all sound alike to me. Very little originality. I mean... It's the same beat and... They just changed the lyrics. It's crazy. Very little originality in music these days, but people like what they like. We can have the guy, loser guy, walk by here. I'd like to see him with this view. I'll keep it dark for him. Michael writes in, wonderful and beautiful night for blossoming sakura viewing. Get a snack. If I see something, I will. Vending machine fun. Let's see what we can find. I don't know. I know our friends in Singapore are all... What are you guys doing up? It's getting kind of late. That's kind of late. This one here. Look at these blossoms. They're so beautiful. You can see there with the river glowing in the background there.

00:13:35 John Daub: Chinese exchange students. It's like we're just... You know, there's an expression. If you whistle at night, you're going to get robbed. Do you know that expression in Japan? It's like, whistle at night, you get robbed. Since I'm the only one here, it seems almost up to me to make sure that we keep Japanese superstitions and tales intact. But they're quite far now. They're out of my reach. There's actually, if you whistle at night, there's an expression, you'll be robbed. That's what... It's just a story. I'm not making it up. I've heard them all. I've heard every single one of those weird expressions. Look at it. It's beautiful.

00:15:22 John Daub: Mrs. Quills reminded me, don't lose your diaper money. That's true. That's the only reason any father would leave the house with a newborn. I'm going to diaper run. Maybe I'll rob those kids of their diapers. Maybe their dads too. Hey, I heard you whistling. Pony up. Get those diapers out. Oh, it's beautiful. Thank goodness I'm not in Minneapolis then. I do have 779 witnesses. I'm not going to be robbed. That's good. Try robbing me on a livestream. That would be pretty funny. Idiot. Oh, I know where the ducks hide. I know where all of the ducks on the Sumida River hide out. We're going to go totally storm their lair. They're all in the same place. They're there every single night. I like to go running around this park at night too. And I know where they are. And every time I run by them, I startle them and they jump into the river.

00:17:01 John Daub: Look at it. It's beautiful. I like how they build it around a light. Do you see that? Because when you have the light and the dark black background, it really brings out the colors, doesn't it? Yeah. Click the like button if you wish you were in Japan right now. They don't tell you to duck off. They totally did. Do you think if I sound distressed, if I do a distressed duck call, they'll come here to try to rescue me? Sounds like I'm being kidnapped. Maybe they'll come and come up here. That was a really beautiful tree. That's a good one right there behind me. It didn't notice us.

00:19:07 John Daub: Here's my first super. I finally figured out the way to send you something for coffee. Thank you. But at this time of night, it better be for something stronger. But coffee is actually pretty strong. Yeah, this one, 70%. It's not really. I don't know what Tokyo, the newspapers just are too excited maybe. Or they found one tree and go, whoa, it's 100%. The whole country is like this. That's not true. Not true. NHK World jumped a little bit ahead of itself. By the way, I'll be on NHK Tokyo tomorrow. We got, I have, oh, this is too bright. I got some news here. Calm down, light.

00:19:56 John Daub: So tomorrow we're going to do a livestream where you get to meet the baby. We do have an Amazon registry. And this is because I didn't know there was, you could do something like this, but a lot of viewers had recommended it. I started a registry and just put stuff up. And I'm like, oh, I'm going to put this up there. And we did. And actually the registry is almost all purchased, like 90 some things. It's crazy. I'm so thankful. Kanae and I, his father was shocked. He's like, what? Somebody bought one of everything to, well, the whole group as a community. And it's just really, really amazing. I can't thank you enough. And you can see the registry what's left in there. There's a link in the description of this video. If you want to buy something.

00:20:41 John Daub: And then I don't know if you buy it now, if it'll arrive for tomorrow's livestream, but I'm planning to do it around sometime between 11:00 AM and 12:30 PM, which is lunchtime, which is evening in the United States. And you get a chance to see if your gift made it. And if not, we'll do another one like next week to get the rest of the things. Some of the things might not come tomorrow, but Kiki's was the first one to come. Then Marty's actually, you guys are really quick. Kiki wins. Cause Kiki is here in Japan. Hope the quarantining is going well. I'm doing this. This is also for Kiki who can't make it outside at the best time of year. Kiki, you know, if it wasn't so early, you'd be able to get this. It was just an unusual time.

00:21:41 John Daub: This tree isn't even started. Just looks like a cotton tree with just a few on there. And I'm so glad Kiki's here watching too. It's nice. Never talk about somebody behind their back. Wow. Look at this one. All right, let me turn up the volume on the light. Also known as intensity. Lumen dog gaming. That's the only shout out you will ever get in your entire life. They can stop. It's crazy shouting out. Let's just do livestream shout outs. It's going to be, no one's going to watch that. Elvis camera's here. Hi, John and Kanae, my grandkids, Xander, Zara, Zeron said, congrats for San Francisco. That's awesome. The three X's. That's beautiful. Thank you guys. Chicago Africa's here. John, soon you'll be doing late night diaper run livestreams. I probably will be.

00:23:07 John Daub: That kid goes through diapers really fast, but we actually put, oh, you can see there's not a lot of them are bloomed here. This tree is only 30%. Let's back out a little bit. Wow. That is, see, this is a thing with cherry blossoms and trying to time your trip to match up with the cherry blossoms in Japan. You can't do it perfectly. There's no way you book a trip several months in advance and you find out that there are two weeks early like this year. It's just impossible, right? Let's keep going. Intensity down. All right. This is the point here. So we started at one side of it. Here's some people breaking some glass over there.

00:24:02 John Daub: Best way is to confront them, make them feel like they're not there. Let them know you're here. You mean them no harm. Joe Griffin's here. John, been watching since the start of the pandemic. When do you think the vaccinations will start to ramp up in Japan? Wow. I really hope soon. John Kimura is in the house. Thanks for being you. Thank you, John Kimura for being you too. This is the point. I don't know, but I'm guessing October. No, the vaccines will start to ramp up probably in June because of the Olympics. I mean, it would look really bad if the Tokyo population can't be vaccinated, right? No one's going to want to come here if no one is vaccinated in Tokyo before the Olympics.

00:24:46 John Daub: And if they're counting on the domestic tourism, I don't want to talk about the pandemic so much because it is a downer on a beautiful night like this. But if people aren't vaccinated in the city of Tokyo, who's going to end their relying on domestic tourism to kind of spice up the economy. Here, who's going to come from outside to Tokyo, which is just a big hot zone. I wouldn't. So they're going to have to ramp it up. I figured by June, I don't know if I'm gonna be able to get a shot until 2022, to be honest with you, because they're super slow and I'm very disappointed in the way that they're doing this priority for Tokyo and the big urban centers, because we're the ones with the problems. A lot of places have zero and have had zero. You know what I mean? Go be practical about it.

00:25:44 John Daub: Get the medical workers vaccinated. I don't know why it takes six weeks to do that. Then start to vaccinate the elderly, give them two weeks to get in there. Then vaccinate the families that people live with the elderly. Do it all at the same time. I don't understand what takes, what is the problem, but in Japan they have a Japanese way to do things. I respect that. But it's my right to complain a little bit about it because complaining always helps. It's like complaining about stuff. And there's Chuo Bridge, beautiful bridge complaining about things in Japan. All right, let me put it to you like this. It's like clicking the elevator button many, many times and thinking that the elevator will come to you faster. It doesn't. You can click that elevator button all night long, all day long. It does not make the elevator come faster. So complaining in Japan does not help. It doesn't help much at all. In fact, it kind of makes you look bad. Was I complaining?

00:27:01 John Daub: Limes, Q senior, kissing your first super chat as a beekeeper. I'm curious. Someone has to be making some sakura honey. Yeah. You know, we're Japanese. I'll be artists. I'll be reads. That's any word for me. I'll be artists. Beekeepers. I always wanted to be a beekeeper. I have to be honest with you. I have an affinity with animals, as you can tell. And I think I can connect with the bees. Bees are pretty smart. Get the honey from the bees too. They're very generous, aren't they? Yuzu honey. Oh, wow. Sakura honey would be amazing if they don't have it. It's time to start it, right? Probably in Nagano somewhere because Nagano has some amazing honey. Nagano has got a lot of amazing products there. And our son was born on the day that the cherry blossom started.

00:28:01 John Daub: That's another sign. There were lots of signs, and there was a meteorite that streaked through the skies of Tokyo right after he was born. I'm dead serious, check NHK World March 14th meteor Tokyo. It's a true story. He was born on the night of the mysterious meteorite streak through the sky. I'm not making that up. I would never do that. Unusually. All right we're now moving past the halfway point. It's pretty. There you can see that. Hey second breakfast. I hope you guys are doing okay over there in Mexico. Look at that. I like it. Do you see those? Do you see those? Um four. Let me zoom in just a little bit. Do you see there's four or like four five and a bunch there on the right side. Look how pink they are. That's beautiful.

00:29:08 John Daub: This one is, this tree is about 85 percent bloomed and then once you get to 100 percent, the green leaves start to pop out of it and then you can't tell that they were blossom trees anymore. I hope the signal strength is good because I figured there's nobody here we're going to get the best signal now we're walking underneath the branches of really mature Somei Yoshino sakura trees and there you go look at the bunch there on the branch. That's nice. The new branches popping out with beautiful sakura trees. I like it. Sometimes you'll see on the base. Do you see this one? Look at this here just one blossom popping out of the trunk of the tree. Beautiful here. I am I'm trying to get the blossom there it is look at it look at it. I'm still here. It's the John Witch Project. Heard sakura blossoms are edible actually there's nobody around really to see me eat it except for 888 people.

00:30:51 John Daub: This is a point I think I did this at a livestream about a week ago when I was introducing the baby. You remember this tree was a little bit flowery at the livestream where I was talking about the birth of the baby. This is it and now you can see what was just a little bit blossomed is now completely blossomed and this tree is 100 for sure. So I think that's what they're thinking about. Look at this beautiful. Hey look I'm on Instagram take a picture you can blare which this yeah how's that no Instagram moment. Do other people know about this tree? This tree is a tree that's been blossoming for a while now it's been blossoming. Do that? Does other YouTubers do that? Hey look, Instagram. Check my, take my picture. I'm an Instagram model. So popular. Everyone love me. Follow me. Hold me. Love me. I want you to be my friend.

00:31:55 John Daub: And just so you know, I don't check my Facebook page. And if you mail me on my personal page, I'm not going to respond. I think, I don't even, I'm not even friends with my mom on Facebook. So it's just a story. I'm not going to respond. I checked my personal Facebook page because sometimes someone will email me by mistake that I know. And there were like a thousand unanswered remarks. I might've responded to a few people just going, disliking it. But I mean, by the way, I got reports that there's some fake John or fake Only in Japan, friending people. So don't friend me. I didn't friend you. Okay. Cause I don't use Facebook. I'm really sorry. I would friend you. It's not you. It's me. All right. I just don't use Facebook. So I don't believe in Facebook because Facebook doesn't believe in me.

00:33:18 John Daub: That's beautiful. Sometimes there are moments you can just absorb. That was one of them, right? Can you see yourself just walking? It's so much better with the light, right? I'm holding the light here. It's too bad Kanae can't even walk because of the birth. So she can't enjoy it. This is my way of, I hope she's watching in the room. Kanae, if you're watching super chat me, I'll buy you coffee with it later. At least she knows how to super chat. All right. That's a beautiful, beautiful tree. We're going to go down and around down to the other side and underneath this bridge, if we can get a good low light, this is the iPhone 12 Pro again, there's a beautiful sakura tree. I like the fact that there's a light there to give it some illumination. Beautiful place.

00:34:14 John Daub: Let's walk now underneath the bridge. And from here, there's a really stunning view across the Sumida River to the Tokyo Skytree from this direction. It's beautiful. Michael Sassano. Hi John. Beautiful sakura's hope baby and Kanae are doing great. Wasn't able to buy things on the Amazon registry. I move quick industry. Think I need to sign up for a JP account. Yeah. You know, to do the Amazon registry, you need to have a Amazon.co.jp account or else it's a little bit complicated with the US account, but some people were able to do that. All right, you see what I'm talking about? There's a Tokyo Skytree in the center of your screen. So the iPhone 12 Pro is really pushing it. Do you want to see more cherry blossoms? All right, let's go underneath here. I love this side of the island. I'm underneath the bridge.

00:35:51 John Daub: From here, you can see a glimpse of Tokyo Tower, but I believe the lights are off after midnight and underneath the bridge, you have a shot of the Tokyo Skytree. Do you see it right in the center right now? Skytree tallest structure in Japan. Quick quiz, hotshot. What is, how many meters high is the Tokyo Skytree? You have 25 seconds to answer. 638 is not correct. Not that I know of. I think it was 634 meters. Very good. Now, how many feet is that for the Americans? Somebody translate for everybody in the US. How many feet is 634 meters? Come on, because all my friends in the US are like going meters. What are you talking about? 2,080 feet. That's awesome. Well done.

00:37:49 John Daub: Oh, what am I doing down here? Go up. Got excited. All right, up we go. We're almost at the end, everybody. So we got about five minutes, which means about 10 minutes. I like this here. You can sit and watch the river, eat a bento, and appreciate the bridge. It's a nice view. Thanks, Nightbot, for reminding everybody about the April 3rd livestream at Tokyo Station of the Tohoku Shinkansen, special private John's Shinkansen. It's going to be awesome. I'm freaking out about that. Never in the history of YouTube has a YouTuber gotten his own Shinkansen train. Thank you, JR East. And the new Tohoku five-day pass for 20,000 yen. Open to every single non-Japanese with a foreign passport. It's changed the world. Go and see Tohoku now.

00:39:02 John Daub: I didn't rent it. It just kind of came to me. This one is like finished. You see the green blossoms popping out there? Oh, it's so pretty. Look at that. I love it. Where they just pop out of the trunk there. Beautiful. All right, this is the end of the video. I hope you enjoyed it. This is, yeah, definitely my favorite place. Look at this beautiful brick walkway. Nobody's here. Travesty. Turn the white balance off, okay? Kind of red. By the way, I did bring a red light. We can try that. There's some places where we can get a little bit closer. These are more mature sakura trees.

00:40:08 John Daub: Now, this island, Tsukuda, is an old island. It's a rock that was in the middle of Tokyo Bay where the Osaka fishermen lived. I don't know why they brought in the Osaka fishermen, but they fished and separated. They separated them from the rest of Edo, which is the old name for Tokyo. These fishermen caught Tokugawa Ieyasu Tokugawa, the shogun's fish from here and sent it over to the other side by ferry. There was no bridge to this little teeny rock, which is like Alcatraz. Now, they've made a man-made island around it. It's a lot bigger on the map, but back in the olden days, it was not that big at all. I like how its back looks. It's beautiful. Kind of a yellow glow from the light. This is a more natural cherry blossom view that you'll see in Tokyo. It's kind of light. It's a little bit dull with the river in the background.

00:41:23 John Daub: Dr. Pond is in the house finally caught a live video. Sorry to ask off topic. It's okay because we got a little bit of a break here. Is Tokyo as pretty in fall as it is in spring? No. Dr. Pond, that's a good question, that's not really off topic. I'm the shadow man. I'm the shadow man. Off topic um there's not a lot of the parks are pretty but there's just such a high density of the sakura trees that make it really stunning but these trees are not that beautiful in the fall um it's not like out in Japan's countryside out there it is just so stunning. I don't think fall in Japan in Tokyo is any good at all. I much prefer spring but to be honest I don't like Tokyo for anything nature related okay there's some beautiful places and don't get me wrong Tokyo is massive.

00:42:32 John Daub: The prefecture of Tokyo Tokyo-to is really big so it's kind of not good to say just about the city or the 23 wards here but when it came to Tokyo it was pretty big but in the fall it was pretty nice right you know like the cherry blossoms and nature you don't really think about the city as being a good place beautiful look at that Hibiya Park is really nice in the fall that's true there's a lot of parks that are Mizumoto Park it's so far out there Mizumoto Park it's close to Saitama that is one of the most beautiful parks in the city of Tokyo it is stunning but it's so far out there it's a hike unless you live in the area it's a massive park that's the one that you should go to lots of ducks there.

00:43:28 John Daub: But if I had to choose Dr. Pond the fall winds let's even get some depth of field here little bokeh bokeh it's actually pronounced bokeh not bokeh don't know why it's a Japanese word means blurry background okay okay hello cherry blossoms say hi to 960 people hello tomorrow I promise I will bloom all right let's try this one here let's try this with the red light don't ask me why I brought a red light but you can ask me if you want I'm not gonna answer because I don't know myself right this is pretty creepy I guess I did it as a way to see what it does because everybody says oh cherry blossoms should be pink really so we're gonna see if it does make a difference here what do you think are they sexy at in with a red light no it looks like blood who wrote that let's try it from a oh let's try it with a little bit more red looks like something from a Hitchcock movie they were mostly in black and white so it's hard to say yeah it's not that good.

00:45:54 John Daub: I can try blue I get this one of these LED lights you can do I gave Peter von Gomm one of these lights to say thank you for helping me out once. They're pretty expensive. Pocket LED lights. They're really powerful, but this one is a pancake light. This one's a little bit better for what I'm doing. It's not as harsh. It doesn't leave a shadow. River likes it. We've been playing Mozart for the baby. He stops crying when he hears Mozart. I don't know why. I told you I should have named him Wolfgang. Tomorrow, we're going to tell you what we named our son. Check it out. Here's what the glow of the Sumida River in the background. Ready? Cluster. That's a cluster I want to get close to. Right there. It's a beautiful cluster. Sorry, we're not going to practice social distancing. Oh, no. No social distancing. Oh, sorry. Three meters? What does that mean? Six feet? How about six millimeters?

00:47:25 John Daub: Oh, no. There you go. Did you enjoy that? You want to go? Get close to some buds. Oh, you're so beautiful. We need to smell you. Oh, it's so nice. You smell it? Is it going through? How does it look on your TV at home? You enjoy this? Thumbs up? Shane's going, it was amazing. Shane's in on this. Shane likes this here. Somebody said stop. Okay. Beautiful. It's so important to just stop sometimes when you have your busy lives, which is not this year because it's been pretty quiet. But what I love about cherry blossom season is that you have to stop. Stop thinking about your job, your problems, whatever was going on in your life. And you can just absorb what's all around you because it does. It's extraordinary. Especially when there's a park where they have sakura tunnels and the volume of it.

00:49:04 John Daub: And there's no spaceship at midnight. Okay. If there was, then I would think it's a real, like, going to take off spaceship. All right. If we saw that at night going stealth mode, that would be pretty cool. We're going down towards the river because we're getting close to the duck lair. I'm going to see if the ducks are there. If they make a fuss. Sometimes like a dozen of them because they're quacking at me. I think there's eggs there. Duck Dynasty over there. One of them heard me. Did you hear that? This tree is about 50%. So then it's not 100%. About 50%. All right. Now, now I'm going to make my way. Just click the like button. Do it now because we should have at least 800 likes. It's ridiculous. Do it. Click like for the moon. This is the moon that you're going to get in 12 hours. Okay. Click like for that. Just do it. Cause you like the moon. Don't do it for me because then we would start to lose the likes.

00:50:55 John Daub: Is duck lair. That's where we had the baby at that hospital there. Nacho Bodhi is over there and Tokyo Station is that direction. Oh yeah. My Twitter. Twitter is onlyinjapantv. I started to actually tweet and stuff. We're going to do a raid. Just go over here. Are you ready? We're going to raid them. Raid. Look at all that poo down there. They are royally upset. I'm one of you. One of them took flight. You guys can come back. I wasn't actually going to attack you. Do you see them? They're benevolent creatures. I've never seen a duck attack a human unless it's to protect their own young, which could be over there. All I know is that there was a few of them that were really mad. All right. They were pretty mad. I can't get them make it back to my bicycle. This is just a roundabout here. You can come back now. I'm leaving. I promise I'm not coming back.

00:53:41 John Daub: I gotta get back because of the baby. I gotta get to my bicycle. Right back home. It's a beautiful place. I love this place. So what we did here is we walked from this bridge all the way around to here and now it's, I can just cut across there. Get back to where I started. That's a toilet. It's a good place to end the livestream. So tomorrow between 11 and 12:30 PM in about 12 hours, we're going to with all things going well. Okay. There's a chance that we don't do it just based on the baby and Kanae and how she's feeling, okay? Family first, but we do plan to do a little baby shower. So hope to see you then. Oh, this is nice. This one is past a hundred percent. You see that this one is past a hundred. It's I guess it's warmer here than in the open.

00:55:29 John Daub: It should be fun time tomorrow. See what everyone has bought and see if the little guy is ready. He's not gonna be a part of Only in Japan Go. I'm not going to make it. The baby shower. Only in Japan Go, man. Channel don't worry but he's a part of my life and on the Go channel he's a part of yours cuz we are all family. Merry Mooney money do get enough rest that's true I don't think I'm gonna be able to cuz a baby was gonna be crying let's be honest here I think I average about four to five hours of sleep altogether you take turbo naps I'm not gonna do another duck raid they deserve better they deserve better.
