Japanese YouTube channels for interesting topics?

Are you listening and watching Japanese YouTubers who present interesting and quality content? I'm hooked on world traveler Bappa Shota, who treats global issues with great sensitivity. Although he appears to speak a few different languages, most of his narration is in Japanese. Which Japanese YouTubers do you recommend for interesting and insightful content?

    One that I love is Takashii from Japan ---> https://www.youtube.com/@takashiifromjapan He interviews foreigners in Japan on a whole range of topics, such as racism in Japan, how people have learned the language, or the experiences of people who have grown up half-Japanese. I find it really interesting to hear about people's lived experiences and his interview style is very relaxed.

    @genkidesu I had a look at Takashii's channel. It's got many interviews in Japanese. Thanks for recommending him. I guess my question wasn't phrased right. I'm looking for Japanese-speaking YouTubers with quality content. I'm interested in history, economics, philosophy.

    @TonetoEdo Oops! I thought you meant run by Japanese nationals in English, so I missed the mark! I like https://www.youtube.com/@marutakeebisu-travel but it's history with a travel focus.

    @genkidesu I'm listening to the episode about Nagano now while I putter. I see the name of the channel is Japanese History Journey. The conversational approach makes it easy to understand the hosts. Thanks for the recommendation!

    Not sure if you saw this, but the Imperial Household is on YouTube now! https://www.youtube.com/@Imperial_Household_Agency_jp They only started the account at the beginning of April and it already has over 100,000 subscribers.

Anyone else getting a database error after you log in? So far, it looks like I can still write posts, but I had trouble logging in and after log in my home page looks different to normal with a "database error" message.

Condiments in your fridge?

Just for fun! I was thinking the other day how different the contents of my fridge are to the fridge I grew up with! Just one example, I always have soy sauce in my fridge and usually at least one other unopened bottle in the cupboard. There was never soy sauce in my fridge growing up. And the friends I grew up with don't have soy sauce in their fridges even now. But my Uni friends all have soy sauce in their fridges, because they all lived in Japan for at least a year. I was just wondering what things do you have in your fridge here that you probably wouldn't have in your fridge in your home country had you never lived here.

Moving house process

I've been in my apartment for nearly 7 years. I've got my eye on an apartment one station closer to work. But I forgot what it was like to move in here! It was all a bit traumatic... Have you got some packing tips, suggestions for how to move your household goods, and what to save for last?

Golden Week 2025 plans?

This year's Golden Week gives us Tuesday, April 29th, and then potentially a four-day weekend from May 3rd to 6th. How are you intending to spend the break? Will you travel, "staycation", or dare I ask, work through it?
