There's a new video coming about the hardest language in the world. Which one do you think it will be and why? Have your notification bell on for when the new video drops!

Today was my first time using VRchat to speak to people in different languages. I hope you have the notification bell on so you don’t miss this brand new video coming up. Get ready for tons of funny interactions in cyberspace with anime avatars!

First time in Shanghai and the Oriental Pearl Tower, Spring 2015. If you had told me back then we’d have this Oriental Pearl YouTube channel with 1M subs, I would have said you’re nuts! Here’s a big thanks to all of you that subscribed. (P.S. Tell the people who complain about the name Oriental Pearl to ask China to change it as it offends some Western cry babies. Occidental Pearl Tower?) 😛

Thank you to everyone who donated to my friend and fellow YouTuber Tokyo Drew’s GoFundMe. Though he passed away last May, his Japanese wife is still struggling with grief and financial burden here in Japan. I interviewed her in the newest video to help raise money for her living expenses after losing her husband to cancer. Please check out the video and consider donating. She also granted me the honor of hosting the 1st anniversary of his passing, since his friends in Tokyo didn’t get a chance to come together and say goodbye. Missing Drew… 😞
