  Hi Chani. I'm soon to be a 67-yr widow and have been alone since 2010. Its been difficult but watching your videos of your life in Japan I have learned to enjoy my solace. When doing chores in my home I think of you and your videos, and I enjoy life a little better. Thank you.

  I was born in Japan and have always felt a part of me belonged there. Even though I’m an American, I love all things Japanese. It’s part of my soul 😁

  I absolutely love your channel because I miss everything about Japan and I cannot wait to return. You are such an inspiration to anyone who needs to make a major change in their life. I have a Japanese husband and we normally visit Japan regularly. We cycle almost every day when we are there as the roads are so safe. His family home is in Yamaguchi ( sadly he is the only one in his family left now ) and I just love the area.The fruit and vegetables are so delicious, as is the food in general. As I look after my 93 year old mother here in the UK, I will not be returning for a while, as I have decided I need to be with her at least for now. So I'm not sure when I will be able to return. I look forward to seeing your channel continuing to grow. 😊

  I left family and moving to another City, and while driving there holding back tears, all I was thinking was, don't Piss yourself. Just close this damn chapter and let's start a new and exciting one. Peace!

  Chani, I wish I had known you 24 years ago when I was 50.  I love how you tell stories, and all you do in Japan. You are 💖💖

  We just got back from Japan last week and loved it. The people are polite and respectful and the country is beautiful and clean. We could learn a lot from the Japanese. Good on you for doing what your heart wanted to do. Love the videos. 👍🏼
