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.

Japan features that would be a bug in your country? And the opposite?

What features in Japan's culture would be considered a bug in your home country? Or the other way around - an aspect of daily life in your home country that wouldn't fly here in Japan? I've got one. In Japan, many sliding doors in industrial and institutional buildings are designed to make noise. The rattle indicates comings and goings. I worked in institutional buildings in Canada with silent doors and soft closing mechanisms.

Reflections on our home countries after living in Japan

I think one thing living in Japan has given me is an appreciation of things my country does really well, and things it doesn't do so well in comparison to here. For instance, I think Australia is great with annual leave entitlements. You get four weeks automatically (some workplaces offer even more!) and there's not any guilt associated with taking it. Something we don't do so well is public transport. I know that Australia is a massive country, but there has been talk of creating a high speed rail option from Melbourne to Sydney for ages, and nothing has ever come of it. It's basically an 8 hour drive or flying. Also, inner city trains are regularly not on time. What are the things you think your home country does better or worse than Japan?

Hair Color Treatments for Greying Hair

For those of you who have colored grey hair, I'm curious about the hair color treatments available in most drugstores. They seem simpler to use than box dyes. It's been many years since I've colored my hair. It's a chestnut brown and my grey is more silver. I don't hate it but the grey is dry and making me feel like I look older than I am. I'm especially interested in the natural brands that are non-permanent. For example Rishiri Kombu sounds like a decent option. Looking forward to your recommendations and experience.
