  • Think so.

  • Eeehhhhh~

  • I used to keep a list of all the things I read when I was younger.

  • I used to read a new book every 2-3 days

  • I read SO much.

  • I would read them all and, like

  • leave a review for myself so I know about it in the future

  • Are you like the kind of student who goes to the library in school every day?

  • Oh YEAH, oh, yeah

  • Not in school, um, but we had libraries near us.

  • (J) Ah, ok. (R) Yea, there are libraries all over Cincinnati

  • Tons and tons of libraries.

  • Yeah, we went there all the time

  • I love reading. I read so much. They were all like fantasy books

  • I have a backwards tooth

  • And it's this tooth right here

  • When I was younger, I had like, perfect teeth

  • but SURPRISE!! Actually, they weren't perfect teeth

  • because one of them was a baby tooth

  • And, apparently, my adult tooth was like this

  • up in my gums

  • So I had to get braces

  • and they pulled it down

  • And they pulled it down backwards

  • and then my braces came off

  • and I had all these messed up teeth

  • with a backwards tooth

  • and they were all off center

  • So, now, 10 years later

  • I'm finally getting them fixed

  • I'm like halfway through my Invisalign

  • And this will be backwards for forever

  • Probably

  • but at least the rest of it is going back to normal

  • finally, so wooooo

  • My favourite food is agedashi tofu

  • Deep fried tofu

  • It's delicious

  • I'm not a super fan of tofu

  • Unless it's like nabe (J) It's good

  • (R) That's great (J) It's great

  • When I was younger I didn't any traditionnal sports like

  • softball or soccer or, anything.

  • Just stuff like bowling and... Archery and... tap dancing!

  • I did tap-dancing when I was like in... Kindergarten or something?

  • For one year, until we got to the end of the recital,

  • and my teacher dressed in one of those giant costumes, erhm, character costumes

  • She dressed up as Mickey Mouse, and I was absolutely TERRIFIED! (J) Why?

  • I don't know why I've just never liked those giant costumes that they have like,

  • In DisneyLand and all that stuff

  • I just cried, and cried, and refused to get up on the stage until the final recital

  • And then I quit tap-dancing

  • 'cause I was so scared about it, and I still don't like those giant mascot characters

  • and I don't like Mickey Mouse at all.

  • Ok.

  • It's easier for me to use my left hand to check things off, ooor eat

  • and my right hand for writing, or play sports like throwing a ball

  • I think Jun was probably originally left-handed,

  • but here in Japan, traditionnaly you're supposed to use your right hand for chopsticks and Kanji

  • I don't know I was more left-handed but... I use both (R) yeah.

  • So, he was forced to use his right hand for all that stuff so..

  • He can use both hands for some stuff now, like chopsticks

  • Fun fact! Dual-wielding chopsticks Jun! ♪

  • I have no spacial awareness of my body, I'm extremely uncoordinated.

  • I cannot dance at all, I'm really bad at sports

  • and I bump into things all day, everyday.

  • I always have bruises on my legs because I just bump into things

  • I don't know why (J) Be careful.

  • My height is about 185 cm, which is about 6'1

  • And I was 175 cm tall when I was in 6th grade, so I was like this much shorter than I am now.

  • Really tall

  • Jun always looked older than his age, but, in a good way.

  • He looks refined and mature.

  • In a good way? Thank you.

  • Yeah, you're super handsome .(J) Ok.

  • I don't like foods that are more liquid than they are solid.

  • I know it sounds funny but I just... I gag if I try to eat mushy foods

  • I love potatoes but I can't eat mashed potatoes

  • I love ice-cream but I can't eat when it starts melting because it just grosses me out

  • No one likes melted ice-cream

  • I like vegetables if they're raw and crunchy, but I can't eat them once they get cooked

  • I don't know why, I've just always been like that.

  • I'm not really picky, but I used to hate mushrooms. But my mom puts mushrooms a lot.

  • So, I don't know, that's maybe why I like mushrooms now.

  • So I'm planning to make her like mushrooms and vegetables.

  • NOPE. Nope. No.

  • I only eat something that can't grow on your body.

  • Fungi can grow on your body, and it's gross and I'm not gonna eat it.

  • Ok.

  • I once got a second degree burn all around my chest, shoulders and back

  • (J) Outch. (R) I went on a pokerun with my dad, if you don't know what that is,

  • It's where you ride on a motorcycle with a bunch of people on motorcycle

  • And at the end you get a hand at poker, and you play poker

  • with everyone else or something, I don't remember how it worked too much

  • But it was rainy the whole day, so I was like "I don't need to wear sunscreen"

  • because I was young and stupid, and then I got extremely sunburnt.

  • And my skin bubbled up everywhere, it was soooo painful.

  • Oh my gosh that was painful, I coudln't lay down for like, 2 weeks.

  • It was really, really bad.

  • I don't really watch TV shows, I don't even have TV series.

  • You watch english TV shows with me though? Like, american shows.

  • That's like mvoies, like really really long

  • Breaking Bad and House... Yeah they're really good.

  • I hate ceremonies.

  • I never went to my highschool graduation ceremony because...

  • Who wants to stand up in front of 500 people

  • and have everyone like "woooo congratulations..." (J) You can choose not to go?

  • (R) Yeah you don't have to go. (J) Really?

  • (J) We have to go in Japan. (R) I went back a couple months, picked up my diploma

  • I was like "thank you~" and then peaced out.

  • Who wants to wait for hours and hours? It's so boring!

  • I know we make YouTube videos but we're just talking to a camera

  • I don't like being the center of attention in real life,

  • I'm not a talkative person in real life.

  • I don't like being in front of people and then having, just people have their focus on me

  • and be like "yeeeeah Rachel...", like, I don't like that

  • I never went to my University graduation, we never had a wedding ceremony

  • I'm fine, I'm fine with it.

  • I am OBSESSED with organising my table and my kitchen

  • He keeps stuff clean, thank youヽ(*≧ω≦)ノ

  • I just can't stand mess...

  • I don't like mess either, but I just don't have enough room for myself.

  • I hired a pet detective one, when I had a cat run away

  • so he could try to find my cat for me

  • When I was growing, I had a cat that was... Kind of my cat

  • but you know, I was a kid so my parents took care of it for me.

  • And he died earlier than he should has because we didn't take him to the vet

  • At that time, I was able to drive myself so I felt personnally responsible for it

  • I could have taken my cat to the vet

  • And so... I promised that, from then on, I would always do whatever it takes

  • no matter how much it costs to take care of my animals

  • And so later on, when my family got another cat and the cat ran away

  • I was like "I'm gonna do whatever it takes to bring this cat back!"

  • So I hired a pet detectivefor $175 even though I was working part-time,

  • I was trying to pay for college, and I didn't have the money but,

  • I made that promise to myself and... He still couldn't find my cat

  • After that I was like "I don't deserve to take care of an animal anymore"

  • So I didn't own an animal, or take care of animals at all for a long time, after that.

  • Until we got our pets here.

  • My hobbies are cooking, and gardening, and bonsaï, and aquarium.

  • I'm really Oji-san. (TN: a grandpa)

  • They're cool hobbies, I like those, they are cool thing (J) OK, thank you :)

  • I am obsessed with OCTOPUSES

  • I LOVE octopuses, they're my favorite animals.

  • I think they are so beautiful and intelligent, and cool.

  • And I've never gone to Japan, or gone to the Airforce

  • I probably would have been, like, an octopus person.

  • I would have just got to study them forever.

  • Later on I would love to, still, you know, like

  • after we retire, just go around and take videos of octopuses

  • Or something, that would be really cool.

  • Make another channel, "Rachel and the octopuses"

  • RACHEL THE OCTOPUS CHANNEL!

  • "Hey guyyys, here's another video about octopuses"

  • I'll totally do that.

  • I'm going to be a 70 year old woman making videos about my octopus.

  • And I'll be eating octopus right next to you.

  • I like pretty much every type of sports, except swimming.

  • I'm just not really good at it.

  • I can't remember names or dates. For anything.

  • I have a horrible memory.

  • My treasure is this pen Rachel gave me.

  • It's a mechanical pencil.

  • I love it.

  • Thank you.

  • I was a huuuge tomboy until I was 17 years old.

  • I never wore a skirt, a dress or heels or the color pink or anything

  • I played outside in the woods and the forest and the creeks and stuff.

  • It was fun.

  • I used to work at a really expensive restaurant,

  • but all I did was doing the dishes.

  • Oh yeah! Everyone asks about Jun's cooking experience

  • But ... That's all he did. He worked at a restaurant but he just did the dishes.

  • And stuff. (J) Yeah.

  • And scoop the rice and put the rice in a bowl, and make it look nice.

  • That's pretty much all I did.

  • He's just really good at cooking.

  • He's a cooking person.
