- Leaving the hotel in Kesennuma, pushing thru and over the hills. Sticking on the sidewalk, Utatsu tsunami damage, coming to terms with the past and the tragedy of what happened in the tsunami. Putting things into perspective. More roadside charity. Minimisanriku.

I remember that day. Teaching my senior students when everything happened 😔 Thank you for showing the progress of the towns. Though I made it out. I know that not many did... I am happy to see them rebuilding. You've given me the closure that nothing else has done. Thank you Matt. Thank you.
One of the most emotional blogs to date.
Thank you for your report, Matt. Ohkawa Elementary school got tsunami and 74 students and 13 faculties are killed by it. The school was about 5km from Ocean, but tsunami reached that far and nobody couldn't expect the tragedy at the moment. It was worst tragedy under the school management ever in Japan.
Do you live in the area Norio? I've been to Japan 3 times. What a beautiful country and generous people. My heart sank when I woke up to the images of the Tsunami that morning. Love from Canada to all the Japanese families of this area....
I live in Yokohama, not Tohoku area. The tragedy was reported by the news so many times and everybody knows it. Actually, I thank Matt not only riding through Tohoku area but also reporting the current status recovering from tsunami damage which we can not see.
Norio Ikawa
The natural disaster only made us stronger day by day.
加油! 頑張れ! 🇹🇼💪🇯🇵
It's so sad to see that so many people can just be swooped away on one seemingly uneventful day...
Matt.... two things with this vlog. First, I am loving the interaction with the locals. I find Japanese people very polite and would love to see you interacting with them more often. Secondly, your drone videos really brings this tragedy to reality. Thank you
Sad and awesome video at the same time .See I knew you were a teacher .Everything those people went through But they still seem so happy Thank you Matt For that video you're better than Discovery Channel Be safe. Search beautiful people They are amazing
How much better the world would be if humans shared the same deep sense of empathy that you and so many of the Japanese you encountered possess. There is lyric poetry in your work, Matt, that is very rare in other vlogs. Thank you.
very sweet comment.. thank you.
Matt I am really Touched in Tears and thankful for reminding to work for better future and never give up school childrens I wanna Share this you brother I was in Japan right after 3/11 thanks for making feel like a human again.
Thank you for sharing such an emotional day with us Matt. Those are the days that make you stop and think how special each day is.
This episode was quite heart breaking. I couldn't imagine surviving a tsunami and having to rebuild after.
On the plus side it's nice to see mat has gained like 10k subs on this trip so far since I've been watching.
Such an emotional vlog. We need to be reminded that the story goes on even after the media coverage has ended. I was especially moved by the beautiful flowers growing where the school children had been lost but also by the sweetness of everyone you met -- in spite of their recent history. JaYoe, Kiddo
Better than any Casey Neistat vlog... Emotional but a cheerful ending. I salute you, Matt.
As difficult of a subject as the Tsunami is, I feel you covered it well.
I'm glad you included the drone footage. I don't see that using footage of places where disaster struck and many lives were lost is disrespectful. Especially when done with reverence a with this video. Most memories are lost in the immediate years after something like this happens. With the scale of this disaster the memories of the 84 people who lost their lives could easily be forgotten button the few people like you who preserve it.
Solemn Indeed. Soul wrenching. Prayers for all those who moved on, Wishing strength for all those who grieve, including us.
There are no words to describe the feeling you get when you see videos like this.Thanks for sharing MATT. Please be careful out there,and JaYoe.
Another fantastic vlog Matt. We all can recall the absolutely horrendous destruction of people and property on that fateful day. Yes, you are right we must rebuild better and carry on. Keep safe Matt
Thank-you Matt for having the sensitivity to put this together with the music and footage of what Japan has had to go through.
First of all, this type of vlog is so freaking awesome. I live in Chiba Prefecture and shortly after you made this video, I took a trip to the tsunami areas going all the way up to Rikuzentakata down to Kesennuma to Minamisanriku to Ishinomaki. I've been to Okawa Elementary School and the coastal area of the city. Onagawa totally slipped my mind and I curse myself for it. Although at the time, I didn't know this channel existed. I've subscribed now. What I do want to say is the town of Minamisanriku has it's own, for lack of a better term, lore regarding the tsunami. The remains of a building, the red steel beams, is where 40 some people sought shelter on the rooftop and only 11 survived. One girl that worked there, Miki Endo, was the voice behind the tsunami warning. She stayed at her post to warn residents to stay away and get to safety and she sacrificed herself to do it. When you crossed the bridge over the Kitakami River I instantly recognized where you were. It was interesting you made the comment about the students going up into the hill behind the school. 1 teacher wanted to do that while the others wanted to cross the same bridge you did and go into those mountains. Anyway, great video and now I have a place to check out when I visit Onagawa.
A very respectful view and insight of what happened. The drone footage was not disrespectful. Thanks for sharing the world with us Matt.
Matt, your movie quality is amazing. It gets better every time I view your vlog. Feels like watching a real movie from the movie industry. You are a video professional. Love your drone video. JaYoe !!!
Very moving. Thank you for bringing me along to parts of the world I will never go, and showing me kindness of people I'll will never get to meet. You give a much kinder view of the the world, which I would not get to see in my daily life with out you and your journey .
This whole event was so abstract when it unfolded on the news. Overshadowed by the awe of the force of nature and the distraction of nuclear power plants blowing up.
Thanks for bringing the human factor back in the focus.
I been that area as volunteer, thank you for share such an emotional video
What can I say that has not already been said..thanks Matt for a great vlog
The music was so much better on this Vlog. Please keep it up!
As a guy that lived in Japan for about 10 years this really hit home hard. Great series you have going here!
thanks!
One of the best vlog you made! Thank's
...bought a tear to my eye. Jaiyou Matt,
So "Live it up! Enjoy your life, don't live with regrets!" I like what you said that encouraged words. A very good impressive vlog, it seems like you are a professional journalist. John Daub brings me here !
I love how you don't shed a tear Matt. I just did. It is good to remember that life gives and take I guess, but that just seems all useless.
Beautifully done. You told a really good story this time, emotions and all. Well done.
We all go through our sad times and this video reminds us there are always someone else going through harder times, but you always run into those in the middle of hard times still smiling and giving to one another and even strangers passing through. We cannot control the things outside of ourselves, but we can control what JaYoe we choose on the inside of ourselves. Thanks, for reminding us to enjoy what we have and to cherish it while we can. What we do each day is an exchange of our life for it.
Very moving - Thank you
A really moving day dude! Take in the ups and the downs.. all a part of the journey. Jayoe
Beautiful bro. Excellent job on the editing.
beautiful music illustration and profound reminder of a sad tragedy
とても素晴らしい動画でした。
女川町は私の故郷です。
震災の後、少しずつですが復興しています。
またいつか訪ねてみて下さい。
These Videos are doing wonders for the image of Japan & the Japanese people. They genuinely come across as very welcoming & caring people (which post WWII wasn't the perception in the West - understandably so). I've also noticed that parts of Japan almost look like Northern Europe - the woodland shots.
All of the Japanese people I've met as tourists and students here in Edinburgh have been exactly as the people Matt is meeting in Japan. Such a friendly and generous people, it makes it very easy to respond in kind towards them.
Wow , good video TY
Just found you yesterday through John Daub IV. First visuals I've seen of the aftermath. Travel safe. And following from NZ ^_^
+lashin el lashin oooh cool! I’ll meet him in a few hours. Did he mention me in one of his videos?
the JaYoe Nation actually YT recommended your one one IV tube. After I caught up with his. 😊
Your best video so far. As you said, live with no regret, live and stop waiting to die.
Nice music also!
Its so sad loved the blog jg
More Jayoe road kindness!
I have to echo what has already been said here . Your vlogs are fun and interesting but this one brought a tear to my eye . The tragedy and the loss is hard to comprehend , and your music choice didn't help the tears . One thing about mother nature though , doesn't matter how powerful or weak a country , she has no mercy . Its because we don't listen to her , at least some would say that .. Jayoe Matt ..
To anyone who wishes to learn the unimaginable tragedy of the Okawa Elementary School, I highly encourage reading Richard Lloyd Parry's "Ghosts of the Tsunami: Life and Death in Japan's Disaster Zone." Surprisingly, this awful event was, in fact, not repeated at any other elementary school in Japan. Seeing the hill behind the school brings home the awful reality of what might have been, had responsible adults listened to more wiser children. Parry's dramatic account takes the reader through the entire event, minute-by-minute, and provides detailed insight into the Japanese family spirit and their stoic bravery through the tragic events of the Tohuku Earthquake and tsunami of March 11, 2011.
I have read that book and it's really good. It gives a lot of detail to aspects that one doesn't really think about. There is another book coming out soon by Michael Larson titled "When the Waves Came." I don't know when it's due out but from what I've heard it sounds pretty good.
Great documentation Matt! So sad, those building remains remind me of watching videos of the leftover remnants of Chernobyl
Fantastic
Great emotional video, Matt. ;; Was hard to watch. ;;
Rough. I donated as much as I could, several times, when it happened. I hope it made some change to someones life.
I really dig it. Raw.
Damn this footage with the school has got me tearing up. Can't imagine the terror those people felt.
yea... it was heavy in that area.... like you could feel it.
I never knew so many people died in that disaster. The news was fully occupied by Fukushima event back then.
Okawa Elementary School, where 74 students, 10 staff, a school bus driver and an unconfirmed number of local residents were killed by the massive tsunami that struck on March 11, 2011
emotional vlog.....
Look at the hills behind the school they could have escaped to. With all the drills and warning systems it still wasn't good enough.
👍
My, my. No words.
today's video makes you want to hold your kids an protect them
How do you find your music???
Sad it makes you think 74 kids with there life ahead of them not knowing if we lost the next person that would change the world very sad when anyone dies but kids hit me harder very sad
earthquakes, tsunamis, mudslides, forest fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, droughts, etc. that is the world we live in. Man made. mass shootings and wars. just had one today in Las Vegas. Welcome to the modern world. Never going to change.
Seeing the awful destruction years ago would like to actually (see )how it is today .
.....日本海啸到现在都没完工啊？？？我们地震几百万灾民 3年的安置任务18个月完成了。。学校。别墅。产业配套设施。基础设施。已经看不出地震痕迹好几年了。
How sad...
yes....
This powerful and well-made vlog made me reflect upon how the music choice plays such a strong role in the overall feeling of the vlog. This is an area which you could explore more with in the coming vlogs, as previous vlogs have had somewhat similar and uninspiring music
Here is a link to the tragedy that happened at the school. czcams.com/video/SRP71UiZMzQ/video.html -- Because the evacuation plan was unclear, most of the teachers and students gathered at the bridge after the earthquake hit. Reports from eyewitnesses said that during the first phase of the tsunami the areas around the bridge started to get flooded, cuting off their escape to higher ground. They never had a chance once the second set of waves from the tsunami came in.
..or a JaYoe movie :D
Ever thought about releasing some kind of highlight reels, which are like 30 minutes long and present each country you travelled in a more compact form? They could be like little documentaries about the people you meet on the way and the interesting places you come by, like in this vlog. They would probably reach a bigger audience and such emotional highlights like this vlog wouldn't be hidden beetween hundrets of episodes of you riding (which I personally love, but may not be for everyone)
I have read on wikipedia about sites like this in tsunami . Don't do it. Very sad.
If this were to happened in the States, It would take them a 100 years or longer make the same progress the Japanese did in the reconstruction. Everything is done at a snail's pace in the States.
Hey hey Matt what's with Bostain Accent, We Midwesterners Stick together Matttttttttttttttt.
To emotional for my taste Matt, but keep up exploring formats
The saddest part is many might have died without Jesus.
