- I took Ferry Sunflower from Kobe to Oita Japan. I booked First Class Deluxe this time. This route is famous for the endless sunflower song.

Thanks for watching
Gotta pause the video to say thank you for making me bust out laughing loud enough to probably wake half the house at 4:30 AM with the sharp cut to the ceiling and AAAAHHHH 😂
I totally lost it too! Ahhhhhhh 🤣🤣🤣
I cracked up laughing also at "AHHHHHHH!"🤣
I can't help wondering if the AHHHHHHHHH was a double-meaning there 😆
AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I come back to that part of the video after a rough day and all my troubles go AAAAAAAHHHHway.
That sunflower song must be a test, to see if you are worthy to ride on the ship. If you can take hearing it 235 times and not jump into the water, you are worthy. 😺
Omg I’m laughing so hard right now
I would have been overboard after 2 times
Thanks to this channel, there is a worldwide contingent of people who have never been on a Sunflower ferry, yet we can all sing the song. 🥰
I'm in the U.S. & I've been walking around singing, "Sunflower...Sunflower"🤣🤣🤣
"sunflower, sunflower" - me, for the next week probably
Everyday is a good day to listen to the sunflower song 😂🌻
@Sue Sue I wonder if it could be considered torture to be forced to listen to it for too long 😆
🎼🎶 Sunflower 🌻 Sunflower 🌻.... 🎶 🔂😅✌🏼😎
As soon as I hear it I get excited!
Time for another awesome cruise.
Wow we really do pay attention, I didn't think anyone else took note of that song. Merry Christmas everyone.
Merry Christmas Jack
I have “sunflower” singing in my head now. Will be there all day. I am from Australia but my children study Japanese at school. Watch all your CZcams videos 😊
Same here. LOL. I am trying to find a recording of it to use as a ringtone. 🤣🌻😎
The same for days, and I can't get it out!!!!!! LOL
The snap to the speaker with "AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH" in time with the music absolutely KILLED me, that was the funniest damn thing.. Bravo!
This whole comedic set featuring the Sunflower song is the best thing that’s happened to me in 2 weeks. Incredible. Love your channel so much!
That sunflower song will be stuck in my head for days 😂
Loved the video as usual 🥰
that sunflower song was sung with such gusto ... damned impressionable ... lol ... i'll hav a hard time not bursting out in laughter when i take this ferry one day ... :P
Yeah, that song would drive me nuts after the first few minutes.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh 🎶
sunflower 🎶 sunflower 🎵 ....
Merry Sunflower everyone. Let the Sun protect us. Lets go!
lol
Ahhhhhhhh!😱😭🤣
Whenever I watch a sunflower video I spend the rest of the day singing sunflower. Or humming the tune 😊
Thank you for giving me and my family something to look forward to every week!
Your channel is entertaining, very well paced, often humorous and relaxing.
Each new video is a unique and fun way to experience a place and culture I would love to visit but have never seen first-hand.
Thank you so much for all the work and effort you put into each of these and for consistently creating wonderful content!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!🎉
You have to appreciate Solo Travelers ability to make subtle jokes, in a language that's I assume isn't his native tongue.
Thanks for saying that! Merry Christmas and happy new year
Sunflower Sunflower la la la is now stuck in my head!!!!
Never thought I would be crying laughter watching your videos 😂 SUNFLOWEEEER!
I honestly cannot imagine what it must be like to work on that ferry and hear that song literally dozens of times a day every day. Ugh.
I was thinking the same!!! I would absolutely have to bring earplugs!
If it is anything like working in a retail store in the US during the Christmas season, you eventually learn to block a majority of it out. (I never was completely able to block out "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer.)
I have two questions. 1) Do you get to keep all those slippers, robes and other amenities? Or are they there just to be used while you are there? 2) People who board via their cars or trucks do they get rooms as well or do they have to stay with their vehicle?
I, and, on behalf of most likely everyone, would like to thank you, for the sunflower song. And the fact that it will stay in my head for days. 😭
And suddenly, a light saber fight breaks out onshore as the ship makes its escape... ⚔
Love it lol
Set to the Sunflower theme tune 😁
Came for beef 🍛 curry,
stayed for the 🎶 sing-along! 🌻
Another great trip with STJ! 😎✌🏼
I found myself humming "SUNFLOWER!" as I was going around my house during the last hour. Of all the ferries I have ridden in the United States over the years, I never found one with its own theme song before. There was one during the 1980s to Catalina Island that had some of the crew blasting Van Halen music, but even that is no "SUNFLOWER!".
That song is such an ear worm😁
🌻🌻🌻🎶🎶🤩 My all time favorite Ferry in Japan so far. The music literally gets stuck in your head for days after watching one of these ferry rides! Can't wait to visit someday.
thank you for providing the lyrics *and* the translation, STJ. you did good to the world.
I can finally sing along to the Sunflower song (and make sense)! 😁Thank you for the holiday present, Solo!
oh yes ! now i want to download the song now hehe
This might just be the greatest video on the greatest channel of all time. I’m not sure where to go from here…
Thanks for the big super thanks and your kind words! I appreciate it.
OMG!! That song is driving me crazy!
The bit where you raise the sunflower song volume in your cabin had me in tears! Legendary
That boarding music is awesome lol
All the little touches, like the staff waving the light wands upon disembarkation, the song, branded merch, and even the artwork on signage shows that this is a company that employs people who care.
they wave bc they've been told to. It's business
Yay Sunflower 🌻
I di love your ferry videos. And finally - the lyrics to the song 👍🏻😂😊
Gonna have the Sunflower song stuck in my head for days... and I _really_ want some cake and ice cream now. The food looked tasty and the room, while on the smaller side, still looked very cozy.
Here I sit, halfway across the world, swaying and bobbing my head to the sunflower song 😁
It looks like it was a comfortable trip, and the food looked delicious. Thanks for taking us along on your musical journey.😁 Stay safe!
I can enjoy the trips without actually going anywhere
Come on!! Thank you for the lyrics!!! Sometimes it starts playing itself in my head. Now I can sing the correct lyrics hahaha Best channel EVER 😂🌻🌻
The song continually playing😳🤣! But anyway another nice video👍 Happy Holidays from Cali❤️🌲
I can totally see Solo performing the "Sunflower" song at the Karaoke night. By holding up cardboard signs with the subtitles! 🤣🤣🤣
Rofl 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks to watching one too many of your videos, my husband set my ringtone to the Sunflower song to prank me and I genuinely can't work out how to change it. Jokes on him I'm into that song so much I *still* clap like a seal when I hear it in a new video.
Another great video, thank you :)
Just vibing to the sunflower music!
Also, thank you so much for getting me interested in beef curry!
I made some last week and it's my new favorite dish!
I wish the sunflower song was available on CZcams so I could listen to it for hours.
People around me might go insane, but that's a small price to pay.
SUNFLOWA
SUNFLOWA
Yeah I’d go nuts 😂
It’s there if you look hard enough. Sanfurawa is it’s name.
@@Backoffboogaloo oh my god you're right
Like everyone else, Sunflower is stuck in my head for the rest of the year (thanks for translating into English)
🤶 nice shere... sunflower ✍
The jingle playing all the time is like being trapped inside a Yodobashi Camera shop! 😂
Bic camera!
I can't walk through one without earbuds in anymore.
Sunflower ~Sunflower ~let the sun protect us~...
Reminds me of the 1970s t.v. show "The Love Boat", with that music!😁🙏💕 Beautiful ferry boat, love Sunflowers!🌻
8:58 I was NOT expecting that. I laughed SO hard. 😂
For the record I had to rewind this video several times as I was laughing so hard I missed parts. "Oops" 😂
I love your subtitles. And your sense of humor.
I enjoyed our singing together (Sunflower sunflower). Don’t forget to get some glow sticks before you take the new ferry. Thank you for taking me along. Happy Holidays from my family to yours. From Phoenix Arizona
You have a wonderful sense of humour and the ability to make the commonplace appear interesting,thank you for another lovely video and best wishes for the holiday season and New Year.
Rather than 'Sunflower' watching the dock crews waving makes me think of 'Umi Yukaba' ......
I’m laughing so much with your subtitles! SUNFLOWERER!
You are the best of all the Japanese travel channels. I subscribed only to you. Keep up the great work!!
The sunflower song never gets old haha😂
🎶SUNFLOWER, SUNFLOWER🎶🎶🎶ARRRRRGH! Yeah - it is an ear worm. But I still love your videos and the gentle humour that goes through them. Thank you! 😊 I also love your food channel!
🎼Well, Sunflower 🌻🎶 is now stuck in my head for the rest of the day! Thank you for the lyrics!!!!😍🤣🤗
That saxophone solo is a banger!
I love that the port crew waves! It's so Japanese.
Why yes, I would like a souvenir. I'll have a coffee mug, a T shirt and a CD of the sunflower song to play over and over joining me in my slow descent into madness.
Absolutely love your dedication to the gag. Got the tune mercilessly stuck in my own head as well lol!
The cabin was a little small but looked very comfortable. But you did mention it was an older ship (2007). Nice trip. Definitely have to get on that new ferry in January 2023!
My arms hurt from waving them about but how can you not feel the need to dance when you hear that amazing song!! I shall be singing it in my sleep 😂 "sunflower sunflower let the sun protect us lets goooooo ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh 🌻"
SUNFLOOOWEEEEEERRRRR SUNFLOWEEEEEEEERRRRR ONEGAI YAMETEEEEEEE
Another fantastic video! I look forward to these all the time. One day I will visit Japan, and these will be a great guide!
I don't know about some people, but they might have nightmares when it comes to this song.
Literally cannot even hear the word, can't even READ the word sunflower without singing...🎶SUNFLOWER🎶
Hard for me to believe anyone would want to hear that song over and over and over!
I will now have that song stuck in my head for the rest of the year 😂😂
Thank you for the video Solo-san! Merry Christmas and Happy New Years to you and everyone else in the comments! 😊
I did not expected the volume up, comedy god
yaaay the karaoke boat! I love this song so i'm glad we're on it again, and even happier to have some of the lyrics! I'm not kidding, sometimes I'll randomly sing bits of the song, so i'm glad to actually have some of the proper words now. And I'm glad we got two !! tastes
I love how everybody waves at the the ferries and trains there... SUNFLOWER IKOU FOREVER LOL! 💕
I always enjoy your videos... and look forward to seeing them on a regular basis. I just I had your job so that I can travel as much as you do. :) Merry Christmas Solo!
Looking forward to Sunflower Kurenai video soon!
🌻🌻🌻🌻 Love that it's back! 😆
As soon as I read Karaoke, I knew.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh🎶
I wanted so much to visit Japan.... I'm afraid it would be impossibile, so I'm glad to Travel with You. Thank You!
Bless you Gatta Nera. There is always our next life... if you decide to return, maybe be born in Japan. Many blessings.
@@missymoonwillow6545 Many blessing to You, too...
My daughter and I snuggled up and sang Sunflower loudly! Thank you
Really nice voyage - thanks for sharing with us! Super sweet cabin choice 🌅 🎶Sunflower 🎶 I didn't think the song could get stuck in my head. Until... you told us what the lyrics are!! 😄
The first Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh had me cracking up!
Really do love the Sunflower ferries! Since finding your channel I’m determined to experience this someday!
lol I can picture a horror/suspense/thriller type movie being made about this ferry with that jingle being played in the background over and over. Maybe one day it'll happen lol 😆
Lovely ship. Great video 👍
The sunflower song would drive me insane!
Somehow I had forgotten that the Ferry Sunflower theme song has a sax solo, which completes it perfectly. I mean, at that point it's basically "Baker Street" by Gerry Rafferty.
Taiyo ni mamorarete….
Thank you from Germany!!
ありがとうございます
Thank you for the song translation!! SUNFLOWERRRR!!
That song in my soul brought me back again! I have to watch and sing again! ❤😂🎉. Thank you 🙏
I like how you did a seamless segway from inside the cabin, to looking into the cabin window from the deck. Great editing.
Thanks for sharing another great video. I enjoyed watching it and also loved it too. 👍👍👍🥰🥰🥰
Laughing so hard at the song and your reactions to it, love this channel!
I'm happy to have caught this one early after upload - it seems like a lovely trip and the food looked brilliant though I must admit, I'd probably have slept past being able to get breakfast if it were me. :)
Thank you for sharing the lyrics! I will now sing along with every Sunflower cruise. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
I love this song.😂😂😂😂😂
That sunflower song would drive me insane.
🌻 🌻 🌻 🌻 awsome song. My son can't stop singing it.
Sunflower, sunflower....It is forever in my head now.😡🤣
Too...many....sunflowers....arrrghhh
Even falling asleep the tone of Sunflower rang in my head 😢😢😢😢😢
The sunflower song is the best part of the ferries. It got me hooked on the videos.
Sunflower song in my head also. Yes I would like to have souvenirs. I would have the recording of the Sunflower song, slippers, mug, hat, towel and t shirt. And anything else with Sunflower on it. Lovely ferry, room, trip and food. I wish I could travel on that ferry. Greetings from Canada.
Within seconds, Sun FLOWER, Sun FLOWER. Oh no - I will now attempt to fall asleep with that stuck in my head!
