episode 1 today's so it's end of the
year and we usually in Japan clean
everything just how people in Japan
prepare for the new year but I feel like
it's like that everywhere we're gonna
keep our Christmas tree up until after
the new year because that's what we do
back home let's document our cleanup
session because this place is a mess
the windows closed affair and Stockton's
turn trying to find
there might be something I forgot but
all I know is that I miss you
[Music]
seven days of eternity seven days in
another country
[Music]
every cell screams stay right here and
my legs they precess in fear
we got time I
need you as my bride slide even in the
darkest night
you shine so
[Music]
as you can tell my bears are helping me
build the desk and they're doing a great
great job
[Music]
and that was how we ended 2019 just
kidding this year marks the first year
celebrating new year together in Japan
we've talked about this moment for so
long and I didn't think it would come
soon enough
[Music]
I decided to film on my phone because
it's cold oh they didn't want to carry
my camera so we're gonna just make a
deal with this but we're heading to the
shrine it's so quiet you can hear the
bell ringing Beauty hasn't been here in
10 years 9 years so 9 years of no New
Year's in Japan we both got great
fortunes and ring in the New Year with
the kiss as Americans do on this day
sorry Japan I had to
[Music]
and the next day brighten early we were
on the way to meet beauties family in
toyama japan at tokyo station right now
and you're just getting some souvenirs
for his friends I couldn't really film
on the way here we have so much stuff
that we're carrying to say I was nervous
was an understatement
okay but I thought if this is a new
chapter in our lives I'll move forward a
new adventure for us a zillion things
went through my head will they like me
will I say something dumb in Japanese
will i seem rude or extra foreign let's
face it meeting the parents who belong
to a totally different culture is much
more nerve-wracking than if you were to
meet parents from your own culture but
to see where Duty came from and grew up
filled my heart with something bigger
than myself and I couldn't explain it so
cool oh my gosh how's it going Yugi good
kinda after meeting new G's parents at
the station they took us to shoot a cow
ago a place I only dreamed of going I've
seen it in pictures but never have I
stepped foot into the village myself the
historic village of shirakawa-go dates
back to 1176 artifacts were found dating
back between 7000 BC and 2300 BC
[Music]
[Applause]
to get it
this one yeah okay there are tons of
shops and restaurants here more than I
anticipated actually we didn't get to
visit them all but I highly recommend
checking them out if you can look we can
do a puzzle Yugi you've changed
despite this place attracting tourists
from all over the globe it had a magical
aura a sense of peace and a mysterious
energy wow look at all the tools they
used
look
[Music]
whenever I explore places like this I
feel like something is calling my name
it's quite strange actually but then I
look at my fiancee and I think wow what
a beautiful place he comes from it makes
me fall deeper in love with him
[Music]
can we sit
[Music]
look it's from spirited away
[Music]
we're in oh my god it's so smoky in here
she's a color girl right now and it's so
cold but it's so cool and it's so worth
being and beauty is like having a good
time taking a ton of photos but at this
point I felt a little more relaxed but
my shyness made me frantically search
for Japanese conversation I realized
quickly how much I forgot since becoming
an English teacher
the downside of being a teacher in Japan
okay we headed home earlier than
expected because of the rain and cold
but not before we took some photos
[Music]
this house reminded me of my homestay
when I was in Japan at 17 years old my
host sister lived in a beautiful house
and I had a beautiful room with a heated
carpet and a stove it was so surreal
I felt like I was reliving everything
I'm in ugz room right now I've been such
a nervous wreck today so it's really
hard to film he's gonna show me oh my
goodness do you ji-sun doozy son Hey
daisuki dad you son are you gonna show
me your baby pictures you had like how
you're so willing to do this oh my gosh
your mom looks so young holy crap your
mom looks like she's like junior high
school that's the genes yeah that we
passed by oh my god yeah I was a Brito
once you're once a burrito is there life
oh my goodness oh is that you what
you're so chubby oh my god is so cute oh
my God look at you oh my god somebody
baby you are the chubbiest baby is so
cute your mom really documented things
that's good a lot of parents don't visit
you you're so cute in a house oh my
goodness how old were you your one mark
I wasn't born yet [ __ ] beauty's parents
documented his life growing up as did my
parents we shared different childhoods
but similar family values my parents
documented our lives through both video
and photos and to me that shows how much
parents care about their children
growing up it's very attractive to me
knowing that someone I love isn't shy to
express that to
so in Japan they have yearbooks like us
whoa that's a nice book wait what
whoa ug oh my goodness it's you the
elementary oh there's like exchange
students and stuff that's cool
this is do geez English pay is this a
junior high I was high school the bad
point about school is that adults tend
to force us to study it's kind of true
that's a beautiful here in Japan
sometimes I appreciate education because
it is good for us but I don't want them
to force us to study because it
sometimes decreases our drop it's true
though drive for studying especially
when we are very young I think they only
have to support and guide us yuji's
dream was to become Superman I don't I
don't know if I'm marrying the right guy
right now and I also saying I want nine
million kids I'm sorry but this is a
very unrealistic relationship I think we
need to break up 10 years from now
am I gonna be marry or not it's this
question mark I put the question where
someone that has a beautiful smile I
wanted to be a become big person in the
future and I wanna live a life that has
no that I don't have any regrets thank
you very much
duty can kick somebody's ass where are
you is that you oh well you don't have a
black bill this time because I think it
was like a second you haven't it's so
weird to me that nobody smiles in their
pictures like in our schools they will
not give us a photo if we don't smile I
think if you smile they're gonna say
don't smile why I guess school serious
business it looks like really sad looks
like like a mug shot
everybody has much this is a do G's
living room gentleman
yuuji wants to have 9 million babies so
I have to fulfill the prophecy I like
this it's so soft like Japanese houses
[Music]

what are we about to witness Yugi
thought zebras were Tigers when he was -
