Tokyo Olympics Experience Outside the Bubble | Summer 2021 Story ★ ONLY in JAPAN

- čas přidán 1. 06. 2024
- When the Tokyo Summer Games were cancelled in 2020, I was very upset because as a resident of this city, many of us had been looking forward to the seeing our Tokyo shine on the world stage and the greatest hosts ever.
One year later, in a situation many consider to be worse than a year before, the city and the IOC went ahead to plan the world's biggest sporting event in the most challenging situation possible.
For residents of the host city, what would be left to experience since spectators to venues were banned, events canceled, the city in a state of emergency. This is my experience as a resident living through the Tokyo 2020 in 2021.

Thank you for watching this mini documentary! So many people wanted to come to Tokyo to see these Olympic games but the unfortunate global situation kept all visitors away. This episode was made for those who couldn't visit and I wanted to mark this period of time to look back on how Tokyo was like when hosting these games. I know it won't be a popular video, I think many are tired of the Olympics, but I feel like any host city's history is marked when these games come, for better or worse. Thank you again for watching! John, producer \(^_^)/ ONLY in JAPAN
Thank you so much, John! Very cool to see your perspective through the games!
THANK YOU SO MUCH for this video!!! I'm one of those people who wanted to see the Tokyo 2020 Games so I really appreciate getting to see Tokyo during this time through a different lens. I'm weeping with happiness right now while watching your video.
I love the Olympics and Japan, and I watched hundreds of hours of Olympic Coverage this year. Thank you for giving us a glimpse of what Tokyo was like outside of the venue's during the games John. You say it won't be popular, but it is honestly one of my favorite videos you have ever done!
You're an Ohio alumni? I'm a graduate of Bowling Green State University. I'm happy to hear another person from Ohio has found a happy living here. Thanks John!!! I enjoy the personal nuggets you drop along the way.
Thank you so much for making this video. I'm an Olympics borderline-addict and really appreciated seeing this. I also might try to add climbing Mount Takao to our next trip.
In general I hope that you keep making important videos whether or not you feel that they'll be popular. We're in Boston trying to spread the word that your videos rock.
Cheers!
Thank you John for your great video! Although I live in Tokyo, I didn't really feel being involved in Tokyo Olympics. Whenever I watch the games, I was like "are the game going on quite close to my place..?" But as I see you filming at the places I am familiar of, I can see they were actually held! Your video can let foreign people have better understanding of this Tokyo Olympics. Great documentary!😆💕
Thanks so much John for bringing us a wonderfully positive POV on the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. We enjoyed every moment of this high quality video and all the livestreams responsibly delivered in trying circumstances. Congratulations 👏👏👏
Well said Kerry 👍💜💜
Thank you @Jason Bourgeois ☺💜💜
Mount Takao is proof that even in an urban place like Tokyo, one can find natural peace and quiet. And the cicadas singing the song of their people 😂
Climbing a mountain just to get footage of the Olympic Rings is mad lad dedication that I respect. An honorary Olympian in our books. Pretty cool the Takaotozan funicular was Olympic-themed too. Out of the two mascots, the Paralympic mascot Someity is my favorite. She's too cute to resist.
This might be one of the most difficult Olympic game to host. But we are grateful that it did and it was finished with great success. I am sure this mini documentary is a good record for future reference.
Thank you Grace! Yes, very challenging and most every is glad they’re over. I hope they come back in my lifetime to give us the celebration we missed. I might have to go to Paris for that!
Someday in the future, this video will be viewed alongside Kon Ichikawa's 1965 masterpiece Tokyo Olympiad. Well done, sir.
We had been waiting to see the rings on Mt Takao, and you certainly didn't disappoint, John!
Superb quality as usual. Been following you for the longest of time and not ending anytime soon. Stay safe during the pandemic
That Olympics was special because our country (The Philippines) won our very first Olympic Gold.
Awesome video from your point of view 👍I appreciate the effort that what you’d done for making this for us to view about the Tokyo Olympics !!! Thank you so much !!!
A wonderful video. I really appreciate the time, effort, and enthusiasm you put into your live streams and videos. This is the next best thing to being in Japan. Thank you!
WOW I didn't know John can do high-quality production like this hahahaha
I guess I got used to his 720p streams hahahahahaha
Thanks John!
Thank you so much for all your hard work John. I enjoyed every moment.
Great video John. Looking forward to the next one :)
Thank you John for sharing. I am really sad that I wasn't able to go to Japan and watch the Olympics but things happen. I hope for better times. Keep safe!
Very nicely presented. Amazing work. Thank you for sharing. ✌️
Thank you for this amazing video John. I think out of all Japan based Ytubers ur the most passionate one who truly loves the country and its culture. ❤
Awesome job John! love it! say Hi to Leo and Kanae!
Great take! Thank you John!
Thank you for making this video for the billions of us that could not be there.
Thank you for providing a unique experience I very much appreciated this.
Loved your content from Japan for so many years, thanks John!
Olympic and Paralympic mascot merch: exists
Everyone: *I'll take your entire stock*
Hello daddy Kimmy
From my 2000 Sydney Olympics recollections, there was a veritable mountain of merchandise for sale months after the Games were held. With stock still available well into 2001. With no international spectators, and, perhaps a subdued Japanese public domestic response to the Olympics, due to pandemic and opposition from some quarters, there may very well be an unsold large stockpile of merchandise in circulation for the foreseeable future.
Fearless leader! What did North Korea compete in this year?!
Genuinely John Daub deserves this, a perfect Japanese Guide, much more than a youtuber.
john went all out with the camera angles here hes even hanging onto the outside of the plane 14:50
I just wanna know how he was able to climb up there so fast after getting the ground shots! absolute film making beast!
@@stagiestpizza super john
Outstanding video again John! I loved watching the Olympics at the comfort of my own home! I so glad that there was some light that shined through these troubled times in the form of the Olympics 😄👍
THE QUALITY WAS GREAT JOHN!!! YOU MUST REALLY STUGGLED TO DO THE JOB UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES
I really appreciate the quality presented in this video. Thanks for bringing me along!
Thanks again for bringing more episodes. We're waiting for more of this quality
Another great video John.
man thats so cool I wish I could have and saw the olympics in japan live. thanks john for share this video and all its glory.
Very informative video as always! 😄🙌🏼 Although our trip got canceled because of the pandemic, this video and your livestreams made us feel we were there too! Thank you!
Also, baby Rio is getting bigger and cuter!!!😍
Great video the bus shots with the athletes was at first funny seeing the legs but uplifting with the local with the sign so inspiriting for him to do that, also getting to see the other half of the climb to the view was cool, that cable car Takaotozan funicular ride needs to be a video one day just a recording of the whole ride down! its not all about the big railway companies a lot of smaller ones have great stories and travel rides. The part with Kanae and Leo was so cute and adorable...dare i say Kawaii lol❤
I missed these videos! Thanks John, great content as always.
Amazing video John san! I've been following you hosting live streams during the Olympic. You're the best and only one in Tokyo as far as I know who consistantly showed us the event and kept us informed about Tokyo2020.
The view of Mt. Fuji through the ring at Mt. Takao was amazing. Thank you very much for your hard work!!!🙏☺️👏👏👏
Thank you Lemi! I got lucky with the weather that day and the removed the rings a few days later when the games closed.
Awesome video!! Tokyo 2020 Olympics was still great, after all. I realized that after watching the video. Very informative and fun to watch as usual, John!!! Thank you for this!
Seriously this channel is very Underrated , we need more people to know about this beautiful channel .
We've been waiting for this for soooo long. Thanksyou, John! Keep up the great work!
Aww, Leo is getting so big! Such a cutie!! Congrats again!!!
Finally! Good luck John and keep it up!
wow John you see the hard work and one of the best videos i will show to family and friends thank you love the family at the end john . keep up the good work from Australia here
Great video John! It's a bit surreal seeing people watch the Olympics from their tablets with the empty stadium in the background. (But also quite wholesome). It would be interesting to see what happens with the Olympic Stadium(s) and the Olympic village over a few years.
Beautiful episode! Thanks once again!
Thank you for sharing and making us a part of the celebration!
Wow the quality of the footage is amazing! Thanks John for making this archive. Wish i could have been there to enjoy the atmosphere.
The backgrounds are just 🤌🏻
Also, I see you coming through with the 4K videos, heck yeah dude.
Awesome job John! Glad to see more content coming. I know this wasn’t a topic that’s the most positive thing to cover, but you stored a part of history onto consumable media for now and the future. I think today’s children will be learning about this in their history classes, so you may be contributing to their education in the future. The pandemic affected literally everything.
Really rad to see that the medals for Tokyo were recycled and might I add I love that you did this mainly at night. I’m so used to seeing your footage in the daytime, the nighttime footage is such a nice contrast and so interesting to look at. Cityscapes I think are the most beautiful at night. I’d love to see more things about nightlife/nighttime in Japan.
Nice video. Finally a new video from this respected channel! :)
Great video John, as always! Looking forward to more content on this channel, but ofc I understand the havoc the pandemic causes on your shedule. Keep up the good work!!
I have a lot of ideas but it hit hard when they ALL collapsed 😳 sticking closer to home 🏠 for now. More to come!
@@onlyinjapan Can't wait! :) Your safety is more important tho, especially with little Leo around ^^
Thank you for sharing this Beautiful event.💖🙏🧝☕🇺🇬
I was gonna treat myself to a trip to Japan for the olympics for graduating with my degree, but covid happend and my degree isnt in reach yet....thanks for this. It showed me what I missed or could have missed. Your content is just the best my guy, its always an on-sight play for me
Thank you Tokyo! Thank you for this coverage! I love the Olympics and thank you so much for such detailed coverage!
The legend returns!
Great episode John 🤗
Love it 🙏💖☕🇺🇬🧝
Thank you John for Making this Video, I Really Enjoyed it..
Wonderful video that really captured the atmosphere in Tokyo during the games. This is the stuff I missed in local coverage of games.
Awesome episode John! Also the picture quality is great! Enjoyed this Olympic (at home watching as much as I can) and loved it! Skateboarding was so cool!
Outstanding journalism. The breath and depth of coverage on the Tokyo 2020 Olympics in 2021 from the historical perspective to the human interest side.
Aloha! Thank you! Wonderful presentation! Aloha!
Thanks for this perspective, John. Always wondered what it looked like from the other side.
Thumps up you have never dissapointed me with your videos.
Now i will enjoy this video.
You answered dozens of questions I had regarding this exciting yet traumatic historic event. Thank you !!!!
A fine document of strange times. Well done JD :)
This is amazingly documented thank you! I loved watching the livestreams when I could and this is such a good video to share around to others :D
This video deserves so many more views. Nice job John, I was always wondering how things were around Tokyo as the Olympics were going on so this video was awesome for me. Hope you're able to start producing more videos soon enough, keep up the good work.
Great video, John. A valuable time capsule preserving a unique event from a local's viewpoint.
Well done John!
Awesome video, John! Love it!
Though outside your city I noticed that there appeared to be at least some spectators at the race walking and marathon races in Hokkaido
Just an Amazing documentary, cant wait for more to come, especially the Street Food ones :) .
Oh yeah!! Coming soon 😋
Thanks for the video!! (and all of your videos). Enjoy them very much!
Love the video John I hope Tokyo comes out a state of emergency one day
Awesome video, John! It's interesting seeing the Olympics from the perspective of the people who live in the host city. Let's hope that Japan gets to host again in the near future!
The camera is so good that the picture is better than what my eyesight can see LOL but great video as usual!!!
Thanks John for this great video I love it. Well documented as always. Hello to Kanae and Leo. Stay Safe Keep smiling 😊. 🙏🍻 Kanpai.
Thank you John for archiving this piece of history and sharing it with us.
Great video! I especially liked Amanda's perspective, since she was a reporter on the Olympics and spoke about how restrictive it was.
This is probably something I will watch many years later, as a reminder of what the Olympics were like in the midst of a pandemic.
Yeah, that's why I was not surprised with long gaps between videos. Stay safe out there.
Thanks John Great video love the 4k
Awesome job John
John Great Production like always !!

Great Vid. It's been a while since your last video.
Thank you for this channel, John.
Great video John............as always.......😊
This was a great video, John. Well worth the wait for any and all of your content. The face masks and the chop sticks caught my eye.
Thank you for another great video!
Great video, John! I kinda miss this type of vlog from you.
God I miss these kinds of videos John.
Great video John. It was so good to even see you on the live streams whilst you were making this episode. Your passion for the Olympic Games really shows, my family and I have been watching your shows for many years now and we know how much these Games mean to you. Keep it Up!
Thank you Randolph! I’ll do my best! ٩( ᐛ )و
Another excellent documentation
Literally tearing when I saw new episode uploaded by John 🥲
Great job on capturing this moment, it will be great to look back to this and remember what it was like, wonderful documentary!
PS. 10:34 oh man imagine the day the technology catches up and we can see the live streams with this quality! One day... one day...
This was a lovely video, it has helped me understand more.
Perfect production 👍👌💪 tnx
Yes beautifully done John on the tuffest of circumstances with making this vid!!!!
Also I never knew there was No gold in the original Greece Olympics!!!
@ 15:54 LOVE THAT!!!!!✊
Great memories for little Leo in the future too!!!!👶🥇
A great video as always JD, in spite of everything you've done a great job conveying what it was like living in a olympic host city. All the best to you, Kanae and Rio/Leo :)
I was really looking forwad to this.......Thank you 😊
Really great episode and really nice, I am still confused whether to be sad or happy, because these Olympics were greatest but I couldn't watch them in-person. Though really enjoyed it and will share it widely.
I feel the same way but in that situation, I lean on the positives, enjoy what I can. Thanks for writing in!
This was really great John. A unique insight. Thanks for carrying on. Also, need to get me some Tokyo 2020 chopsticks ;)
Great job John, thank you so much! :) :) :) xx
