Um, today I'm in Tokyo.

I have not slept very much, I'm very very tired.

Look at these, like, eye bags.

It's so swollen under my eyes.

Today in Tokyo there's a conference for Japanese and Chinese social media influencers, and

I think I'm speaking on a panel?

I don't know, cause like, I got the e-mail last night and I kinda just like glanced over

it.

It didn't look too complicated so I figured I'd just wing it.

Because I'm really unprofessional.

And that's not something to be proud of.

It's not something to be proud of at all.

Yo today, this is like the perfect fall weather.

It's like, crisp, and cold, and my nose is running a little.

That's how chilly it is.

But I love it, it reminds me of Canada.

I'm heading to that hotel, right behind this interesting looking building.

Alright so we are at the event and I am about to get my hair and makeup fixed up, I'm not

really crazy about what I chose to wear, because I thought like, a fall colour would be more

appropriate, but the event space is like blue and purple, and it's like...

It doesn't really match.

But whatever.

Chika-san is here too!

And we're going to take a peek at the conference.

Japan-China...China Japan?

Internet Celebrity Summit!

Cuz we're...

"Internet Celebrities".

Haha, it's just so weird.

But yeah, we're going to go see what's going on inside the event space and it's really

awkward vlogging like this in front of so many people.

I don't like it, I'm going to stop.

There's some double-chin action there.

I know, I wanna get this removed.

It's cute!

No I don't like it.

I think everyone has--wow you have a pretty big one.

I DO have a big one, that's what I'm saying!

I need to like, remove it.

I think I win though.

I have been up since 5 in the morning, and I'm dying.

There's black coffee and there's chocolate, so, I'm going to come alive, and pull through.

Oh my god, YOU TOOK SO MANY!

Alright, so we're at the after party now, and it feels so good to finally be able to

relax... and EAT.

I'm starving!

So i'm going to go see what kind of food they have, it looks like it's almost gone!

Oh my god, we got here too late.

But I'm going to stuff my face.

Aw yes FOOD!

Wow, okay, so, I just arrived at my Airbnb.

I booked this one really short notice, so it has two beds even though I'm like...

It's two double beds, even though I'm the only one staying here.

Today has been a really really really long day, but it was very interesting because um,

I don't know if you guys know what Weibo is, Weibo, cuz, um, YouTube and other forms of

social media are blocked in China, so China has it's own social media ecosystem, known

as Weibo.

The ecosystem over there is totally different, the things that people can do, and amass certain

amounts of fans, it's really interesting.

Um, yeah, like learning how they make money and how they monetize their stuff, it was

a really really great opportunity to learn and study about internet business in another

country.

I'm going to go to bed.

I may or may not wash my face.

If I don't, don't get mad at me.

I'm just so tired, I don't think I'm going to get up.

Ah, so last night I passed out, I went to sleep so fast, and by the time I finally got

out of bed it was like, 12:30pm.

And it's kind of frustrating because it's like, I came all this way to Tokyo to like

get work done and I ended up just sleeping, but it felt so good.

It felt so good.

So I just packed up all my stuff, and I'm getting ready to go out.

I'm gunna meet Sharla and Taylor in Shibuya, pray for us, and we're going to go Halloween

Costume shopping, and then after that we're going to head to a Halloween Party, and I'm

kind of excited, because a lot of the people that I really want to meet and hang out with

and talk to are like gunna be there, so it's really convenient, like I don't have to make

a million different plans to see a million different people, they're all going to be

in one spot.

So I'm really really happy that it turned out this way, because it was really last minute

for me to end up going to this party, but I'm excited!

Yep.

And I need a costume.

Yep.

I have no idea why they wanted to meet here.

This is like, the worst place of all the places to meet, in Japan, on Halloween, they wanted

to meet in Shibuya.

Uh, chaos!

I've never been a sexy Halloween costume.

Me neither!

Like they're usually really cringey, but like I like how horrible it is.

I feel like before I get old, I should be sexy once.

Like I should get a really slutty outfit.

Like a sexy nurse.

I wish they had broccoli.

Yeah why DON'T they have broccoli!?

Why not?

Taylor is a pepper.

Sharla is a carrot.

And I am a banana.

With a top hat.

So like, I'm like a banana, but I'm also a sir.

It's made out of like, surf material, is yours also?

Yeah it's like a wet suit.

Taylor can't see.

We're going to tell her it's time to cross the street when it's not.

Just for funsies.

And so Halloween in Tokyo has officially begun.

So we are at Chez Simon et Martina, here in Japan, and um, and we are having a halloween

party, and like, I'm so happy.

Because, I have not been to a Halloween party like this since I was like, in Elementary

School.

There's Halloween themed food!

There's Halloween themed drinks!

Everyone's dressed up!

It's like, we are 12.

It's awesome.

I love it.

I am so happy.

This is so great.

Hi I'm Taylor, I get food all over my mouth.

But like, you were wondering what that was?

It's like a Vampire mouth?

It's chia seed jam, and apples, and sunflower seeds.

I love how you're just rocking the food.

You're like, "yeah, I'm a messy eater, live with it!"

"That's melon flavored, soda."

"Oh, it does taste like melon soda!

I was like, what is that?"

"Okay, that makes sense."

Did you know that aliens?

That aliens???

That trees talk to each other?

DO they really?

Yeah, there's been a scientific study that shows that trees have a tree song.

NO!

I'm serious!

It's like this weird creepy tree sound that they recorded, and it's like, "guhhhhh".

No.

How do they make the sound?

They talk to each other!

With what?

I don't know--they're alien-ness.

Trees, Sloths, Sugar Gliders, all aliens, Martina, 2016, mark my words, you heard it

here first, thank you.

Alright so now, I left Simon and Martina's party, and now I'm back in Shibuya and this

is not where my Airbnb is.

I'm totally going to miss the last train, but, um, Biibii and Emily are down here, and

I would love to see them in their Halloween costumes cuz they were tweeting them and they

looked fantastic!

You guys look fantastic!

That's crazy.

I feel like a potato because like--

NO!

I KNOW THE FEELING.

I'm not even a banana anymore.

Hey guys, so it's 2pm, and I'm still in bed.

I'm just really taking it easy after last night.

It was really hectic and kind of stressful, and my introvert-self needs some time to unwind.

And this time the location of the airbnb is like, right next to Gotanda station.

I don't know if you can hear that.

You can actually hear the sound of trains passing by from this airbnb apartment and

I think to some people that might be considered annoying, but I find it really soothing for

some reason.

I have always been more of an observer than like a participator.

And, so like, Simon and Martina's party was really fun because there was no pressure to

be the centre of attention, like, you could just sit, you could listen to people's conversations,

you could go stand in the corner and snack on all the junk food, you can go grab yourself

a drink, or you could sit in front of the TV and watch a movie.

Like, there's no pressure to be "on."

And I think that's what I like about this Airbnb too, is that I'm lying here like, I'm

lying here in bed, like, in my pajamas.

It's really comforting to know that the world is still like happening, that everything is

still going on outside of this apartment, but that I don't have to be in it.

Hi, so now we are in Ikebukuro, I'm heading to Shunshine--Sun?

Sunshine City.

Um, to the Pokemon Centre because I think that Toph is there...

And then we should be meeting up with Rachel and Sharla after that.

I haven't eaten anything yet today, so if I can grab something on the way to Sunshine

City, that would be fantastic.

Something like, really quick and easy.

Alright, who are you?

I'm Kasumi?

Misty.

You're Misty?

Genderbent!

Genderbend Misty!

Yeah, before I wasn't wearing a cap, but I messed up the wig cutting it.

Oh no.

So I threw on a cap, and got the cascade badge.

Oh cool!

So we're at Sunshine City in Ikebukuro, and there's so many cosplay outfits out here.

I think the vibe in front of Sunshine City is like, way better than what it was in Shibuya

last night.

Shibuya was like, people just getting crazy, but this is like an art.

Cosplay is like an art, there's so many people who put time and effort and love into their

costumes, and it's really good to see.

It's like, a more positive and relaxed environment.

People are just here getting their photos taken, posing with other cosplayers, you know,

like, enjoying the attention.

Which is, what, I think, like that's what makes Halloween fun, that's what's fun about

Halloween, is dressing up, and having a good time.

Not necessarily, dressing up and getting wasted.

They just released a whole new Mario collab set.

Oh my god.

Look at how cute it is!

Alright, so now we are in Round One, which is a game centre, and Toph actually brought

this Pikachu onesie, and he had it in his bag the whole time, and he was like "why isn't

anyone wearing this?"

So, I figured what the heck, if Toph is going to be Misty then I will be a Pikachu, for

the sake of the photo!

So now we're editing our Purikura photos.

So.

What a weekend it has been.

Alright, my question to you today is, "Do you remember your first Halloween costume"?

Like your first Halloween costume when you were old enough to go Trick Or Treating?

For me, I was Big Bird.

When we lived in Richmond, in Vancouver, I was Big Bird, and I remember having a little

beak, like a little cardboard beak, and I remember getting um, caramels, and like those

rocket candies and just being absolutely thrilled that this was Halloween.

It was so much fun, it was one of my favorite memories.

If you have any good memories to share, leave a comment below and I'll talk to you there!

I know that this vlog is super long and recently I've been making a lot more like, content

with my face in it, but um, I'm just testing out a lot of stuff lately, to find out what

I enjoy making, and I'm also trying to like, figure out what you guys enjoy watching.

And I know that some of you really wanted to see more of my personality, so I'm trying

to do that but I'm also trying to HAVE a personality.

I'm trying to be a better person.

I really am.

And I'm so thankful that you guys have been so supportive.

Especially recently.
