So my hobby is going to them.
Who do you see?
If it's an artist I buy a ticket for it.

I like the band Back number.
You can only see that concert on that very day.
It's a special moment you can only enjoy there and then. It's fun.

I play TRICKING
It's like acrobatics.
It's a bit like martial arts too.
We hang out together, meet up and practice moves together.
That sounds exciting. How did you find out about this?
I watched movies online.
Then exchanged messages with people online.
And then went.
Thank you!
Okay some of the things popular in Japan right now
Is using a GO-PRO, putting up those pictures on Instagram,
and using the SNOW app, which is like the Snapchat ones that
gives you cute ears or makes your face look very pretty.
Apart from that we had a couple of general things,
stuff people liked personally, maybe they got into a certain manga...
The neckbands. I have seen a couple of those in Harajuku
Girls are wearing those recently so that's a new trend, using a leather band
and putting a little ribbon in front of your chest, right here on your neck.
So those were a couple of things that are popular right now.
We were talking about Instagram. I reached 10,000 followers
so thank you very much for that. It would be nice if you haven't followed me yet
follow me on Instagram! Cause I put up fashion snaps there as well.
Shameless PLUG here!
If you are curious about other videos I'll put them in the top right of the screen
where the "i" symbol is, there will be other links
In case you haven't tried that yet, try it out,
It's a thing that Google and Youtube has done for a while.
That's what we always talk about here.
I hope you have a lovely day. Let me know what the newest trend
in your country is. Is there something specifically you have been doing?
