Rachel & Juns Adventures!
Adopting a cat in Japan | WARNING: sad cat story
updated
Thank you to Sakuraco for sponsoring our video! My DIY projects never turn out as cheap as I had hoped. 🙃 Our house is slowly coming together, room by room! This project was our joint exercise room, sun room, Jun's wardrobe, and cat's fav spot. The setback with the cat tower actually turned out well since we like its new location even better! I'm very excited to make a custom cat tower for this room at some point, but our cats desperately need a custom litter box next so that'll likely be my next project!

It's our first Christmas in our new house!! Somehow having a house of our own made me SO EXCITED to decorate this year, and get a whole, big Christmas tree!! I want to avoid accumulating a million boxes of Christmas decorations so I tried to limit things and also DIY what we could with materials that can be repurposed or also used at other times of the year.
Surprisingly, our cats haven't bothered the decorations hardly at all!

Hi it's been a long time since we've gone outside and we don't remember how to make videos anymore
ToriChyan Channel: youtube.com/c/IizumiChyanChannel
I had heard before that Japanese flea markets aren't really flea markets, they're just small businesses and craft shops, but the homepage for this flea market seemed so insistent that it was old, pre-used, and antique items for sale that I got my hopes up anyway! It was still enjoyable, but it was more just a market. At least I still have my recycle shops and thrift stores!
0:00 - 0:46 zero to pigeon

We have a few unfinished spots left in our house and Jun's bathroom was one of them! I've had ideas for how to set it up for a while now and it turned out so much better than either of us expected!! Now it's one of our favorite rooms. Jun tells me how much he likes it every time he uses it and I find myself just walking in sometimes to look at it lmao. Hell yeah I'm bragging about this one. toot toot

In our last video people asked if we had reused the shoji doors we took from the previous house yet (we hadn't). But it made us want to try finding a spot for them again and we came up with a great idea! We were so excited about this project and LOVE how it turned out! Thanks for the inspiration!

For many older houses in Japan, affordability/availability was prioritized over longevity, and there were a lot of environmental factors to consider (high humidity, natural disasters). In part due to this, old houses here lose much or all of their value as they age, and many houses that go up for sale are either renovated or torn down and built over by the new owners.
Nowadays technology has improved a LOT (along with safety requirements!) so modern Japanese houses can be very high quality and long-lasting, depending on the options you choose. We ended up building a wonderful house perfectly suited for us and our cats, and with a great view of our back yard! Tour of that coming soon. :D

-I got a circular saw, I needed to use the circular saw
-Maybe the height of summer is not a great time to try putting out a bird feeder
-Our yard is... thriving
-Watch as my allergies slowly destroy my voice throughout the week this project took
-That definitely has nothing to do with letting our yard grow out of control
-The bugs are really happy though
-And they're growing very, very... very very big
-We literally have to wear ear protection around those cicadas

00:00 Started from the bottom (in February)
01:10 I FOUND A LIZARD
03:06 Starting in the back yard
05:46 JUN FOUND A GECKO
06:30 Sakuraco sponsor
09:08 BIG. TREE. DELIVERY. (traditional Japan style) (also it's April now)
09:50 May! Flower planting time
11:56 June! Our yard currently!
We're gradually making progress! Most of the spots we've been planting were previously under concrete (either the previous house's foundation or their old driveway) so the dirt was all super compacted. Digging it up and improving the soil was probably the most time consuming aspect of this. In retrospect, maybe we should've tried to find some machinery we could rent, lol.
We've been kind of winging it with the design and will change things around a bit as we move on, but things are gradually coming together. Our next step will be to add a walkway, but now that we've reached the humid part of Japanese summer we might have to wait until fall for the heavy work. Plenty of weeding to do in the meantime, lol.

We inherited a third generation cat tree from friends who moved, and decided to update it to suit our cats (and style!) We didn't have to buy anything at all--we used a leftover piece of another cat pole, old curtains that don't fit our house's windows, and mattress protectors we received that don't fit our mattresses. Super happy with the way it turned out! :D

Thank you so much to Soundcore for sponsoring our video! We absolutely love their headphones. We use at least one of their products every single day. The noise-cancelling earbuds are probably the third most impactful thing that improved my life this year (after our new house and anti-depressants, lmao). I can't imagine going to the grocery store without them anymore. The downside is I have to wave my arms around literally any time I want to talk to Jun anymore.

We had a lot of info so here's the main points lol
-Sale until Nov 29th
-New shirt styles and colors for both designs
-Holiday design limited
-Main cats design going away Dec 31st!
-Anyone still waiting on Halloween merch--it's all been shipped as of last Friday! You should get an update soon
This is actually a video we filmed a while ago that we never uploaded! (Our apartment used to look so nice, what happened lol) Nagi used to run away from absolutely everything, and he still prefers napping in tiny, isolated spots. Jun said today that he's the lone cat of our cats, but he's definitely happy being that way! And he's developed a lot of confidence over the years. We're so proud of him!

Released a healthy kitty
(mostly)
I wanted to wait until we moved into our new house to start trapping cats but apparently I can't help myself. We found a feral boy with some really bad teeth who also needed to be fixed, so I guess this makes TNR #1 for us! Super huge thanks to Rana and the local TNR org for helping out and offering advice and assistance. After we move we plan on getting into TNR and fostering a lot more (and we can have as many cats as we want!)
TNR = trap, neuter, return

Available until October 24th! It WILL NOT be able to arrive by Halloween. :(
(Extended 3 days from the 21st → 24th!)
Our cat Pichi is blind in her left eye, but at her yearly checkup our vet noticed that she may actually be blind in her right eye as well! She doesn't seem blind to us, but apparently it can be difficult to tell with some cats. It's also possible that she could have some level of visual impairment but not full blindness. So we gathered a bunch of different eyesight tests for her to see if we could pin down how well she can see out of her right eye. We tested our other cats as well as a control.
00:00 Glow-in-the-dark Halloween merch!
01:13 Intro
01:37 Test 1 - Object Tracking
02:42 Test 2 - Laser Pointer
05:07 Test 3 - Reacting to Light
06:09 Test 4 - Hand to the Face
07:27 Test 5 - Dropping a cotton ball
08:47 Test 6 - Pichi Soccer

Thanks to Bokksu for sponsoring our video! We broke our G100 (our small vlogging camera) so while that's off being fixed we filmed an outing with Jun's iphone, so the audio is not great. :o Fun fact: the camera was given to us by Panasonic for our ladybug video and turns out it was a promotional model and not the final sales model because when we sent it in to Panasonic to get fixed they were like "wtf is this?! How do we fix this??" and called us but we were able to get it worked out, haha.
As we get closer to our house being finished we can finally start prepping for the furniture/DIY projects we'll need after moving in, so we wanted to check out some furniture thrift stores and see what sorts of things they're selling down here in Fukuoka. This is the first time we've been to furniture thrift stores since we moved here and we weren't disappointed!
We'll be uploading a little less frequently through the end of the year so we'll have more time to make our final preparations.

It's been about a year since we brought home Pichi! She deserves a birthday cake. And our other cats also deserve some cat cake, too, because they don't understand the concept of birthdays and that would seem really unfair if only Pichi got to eat it. But she got to eat it first.

We still have a while until we move, but I'm sure as it gets closer we'll get busier and busier so we're trying to take care of as much as we can early on. Our balcony is a huge mess, so Jun is helping clean it up and re-stain our deck tiles from Ikea! And also he just wanted to mess around for a while.

Though the plans for our house are complete, we still need to work out our driveway/deck/walkway, etc and have started consulting with a landscaper. Turns out these things are much more expensive than we were expecting (a very small patch of land with plain concrete paving for a single car plus a low-end carport above it, a small bit of fake grass, a mailbox atop some tile, and small shed cost someone else we know ~$30,000. Don't have the exact size but the total landscaped area is perhaps the size of 3 sedan cars). So far the quote we received (which already used many cheaper options and didn't include everything we were hoping to have) was still TWICE our budget, and so now we're trying to figure out ways to reduce the cost.

Thank you to Bokksu for sponsoring this video and helping us afford our own house. Kariya-san is helping design Jun's kitchen as well as the cabinets in our bathrooms using Ikea products as a base, and then customizing the cabinet fronts and counters through Japanese carpenters. The cost this way is actually HALF of what we were quoted from a high-end Japanese custom kitchen-building company (the other way Jun would have been able to get his specific appliances and counter height). And we weren't even overly impressed with the high-end company!
The vast majority of kitchens in Japan are unit kitchens, which have limited customization options. Unit kitchens are so prevalent that they run the full spectrum of cheap to luxury, where "luxury" unit kitchens can cost $13,000 for a single floor-to-ceiling cabinet! And most of them do not allow for high counters for tall people like Jun. Thank you so much Kariya-san for letting us film your house!

Thank you to the government of Kyoto and d:matcha for sponsoring our trip to Wazuka! We learned a ton of things about green tea that we never knew. Most surprisingly to us was finding out how extremely varied the flavor of green tea (100% JUST green tea) can be based on how it's grown and processed. Since our trip we've been constantly drinking umami green tea and we can't imagine our lives without it!! If you have a chance when visiting Japan, I highly recommend visiting d:matcha, not just for the experience of tasting mindblowingly good green tea, but also because their tea and matcha desserts and snacks are delicious! Oh, and the area is of course beautiful, as well!

Rachel Maksy's dark academia video: youtu.be/2mSx-np1uG4
THRIFT SHOOOOOP! Over the past couple years I've been seriously cutting down my wardrobe so I haven't been back to the thrift stores very often. Oh how I have missed my Japanese thrift stores! But I recently found out about the Dark Academia ~aesthetic~ and I NEEDED to see if I could find some looks! Plus, it's so damn hot here in Japan and turns out most of my wardrobe is plastic (polyester, etc) which is like the worst thing you can wear since it's not breathable?? You learn something new every day. We managed to find quite a few things in my style made of breathable, cotton and linen fibers!

Years ago we tested Jun on his ability to tell the difference between "L" and "R" sounds, which was rather difficult for him! The Japanese language only has the "R" sound, which actually ends up somewhere in between an American English "R" and "L". This makes differentiating "R's" and "L's" one of the most difficult parts of learning English for a native Japanese speaker. Years ago, even sounding nearly fluent in English, it was quite difficult for Jun! But has he gotten better at it since??? MAYBE! Time for a test!

We had some errands to run, but kinda fun errands, and also we wanted to celebrate finalizing our house!! Technically we still have to find a company to do the outside (like the driveway/deck, etc), which we're working on now. But it's HUGE weight off not having to think about the house itself anymore! We'll also keep you guys updated on the house construction itself!

It's spring cleaning time and we desperately needed to take care of the cat corner after filling it up with all our house catalogues. The cat tower poles (which I'm pretty sure have some sort of hand-stabbing PLASTIC rope?!) have also been shredded to the point where our cats now sometimes slip when trying to climb it and therefore don't use it as often. So we bought some actual rope to replace it with, severely underestimating the amount of rope it requires to wrap cat poles.
For the record, we used maybe 50-55 meters (~55-60 yards) of 6mm hemp rope (on a 10cm thick pole, about 110cm in length, if anyone out there needs to make their own calculations), which cost about 1,200 yen (~$12) per 20 meters. So it makes sense why they would use something cheap, plastic and stabby when making the original product... Anyway, we could only do the two most used poles instead of all of them today. But that's okay, because we also underestimated how long it would take to re-wrap the poles, and there wouldn't have been enough hours in the day to do the whole thing anyway!

Thank you to Function of Beauty for sponsoring this video! I finally tried the curly girl method, which you guys have apparently been recommending for FOUR YEARS?! Turns out, it might actually be working for me! The curly girl method is a hair care routine (with many different options depending on your specific hair type) that focuses on hydrating your hair properly and bringing out your natural curls/waves, which some people may have just been brushing away their whole lives! (like me)

Thanks to Bokksu for sponsoring our video! We went to a fantastic park here in Fukuoka called Uminonakamichi (Seaside) Park. They have beautiful flower displays all year, so we wanted to get some inspiration for our own yard. We found a few we definitely want! This park is gigantic and also has a small zoo, a waterpark, a viewing pier on the ocean, and many other things. The zoo is free after admission to the park, which is only 450 yen per person. This is one of our favorite places to go for a nice day in Fukuoka. :)
Also, sometimes they display art competitions (one time they had small artistic gardens!!) and they're always really incredible to see! Highly recommend this park if you're ever in Fukuoka!

Thanks to Native for sponsoring our video and helping us pay for our house! I can't believe it. You guys, we can do like ANYTHING to our yard!! Isn't that insane?! It's so unbelievable to think that it's ours. We were so lucky to find such a peaceful spot and we are so, so grateful we were able to buy it. Life has taken us in directions we never imagined and it's really all thanks to you guys. Thank you so much for helping us get here!
The best days we've had so far this year have just been existing in our yard and listening to the sounds of nature. Each time we've gone back to our apartment with such an incredible feeling of peace and happiness. We can't wait to start planning our garden! Obviously we need to be careful about staying away from where the house will go so we can only plant things in part of our yard for now. Let us know if you have any vegetables/fruit tree suggestions that we should plant! I think we're in hardiness zone 9.

Thank you to Bokksu for sponsoring this video and helping us afford Japanese flooring that can withstand years of cats and abuse. Hardwood floors are common in houses (especially in more traditional houses), but the vinyl/laminate floors are much more common in apartments due to their cheaper price. Laminate flooring (often marked as "sheet" flooring) seems like the largest market for new home builders right now--most showrooms we visited primarily offered laminate flooring. When we expressed concern with the sturdiness and longevity of laminate flooring, basically everyone just started recommending us higher-end versions of laminate flooring that have better sealing layers on top... Hardwood flooring is incredibly expensive in Japan. The catalogue we have shows prices up to TWICE the cost of the engineered hardwood we chose in this video.
At least there are tons of incredible wallpaper options that are relatively cheap! And there are quite a few places to get decently priced tile (mainly for walls, but for flooring as well). As with everything, you get what you pay for when it comes to quality and design... And of course, designer options exist as well, with absurdly unaffordable prices.

Thank you to Blinkist for sponsoring this video and helping us build our cat house. We can't wait for all our cats to have a much larger area to run around and play in! (Not to mention a yard!!! In Japan!!! We're so grateful for the land we found!) Every time I think Pichi has reached her limit with us she continues to open up even more. At this point I expect that eventually she'll be openly accepting pets and cuddles from everyone! Even with our other cats, none of them really liked being pet until they reached 3-ish years old, and Pichi is still well under that, anyway. I'm so proud of her progress, and so glad she found a companion in Poki!

Thank you to Skillshare for sponsoring this video and helping us build our house! We've been working non-stop between trying to decide things about the house, going to look at samples and showrooms, and normal work stuff so we're pretty mentally exhausted right now. We're so behind on everything that we haven't been able to take any breaks at all, and as you can see it's getting to us a little bit! I'm not even sure we're thinking clearly anymore, but we still have to decide what we want to do with our walls and all the bathroom/kitchen places before they start building so if you have any ideas please let us know!
Once we finalize things we're going to take a biiiig mental break.

Thanks to Bokksu for sponsoring us so that we can replace both our rice cookers. Once again we tried to make American-style sushi. As no surprise to anyone, turns out half our ingredients were expired but it's been two days and we're still (mostly) alive so I'd say we can go ahead and file that one under victory

At this point we've been to SO. MANY. Japanese showrooms for building our house. Kitchens, bathrooms, sinks, interior doors, genkan doors, floors, wall designs, cat stuff! EVERYTHING. Because of the virus we're trying to stay home as much as possible so we thought we'd visit one of the showrooms we haven't been to yet online. Let us know if there are any parts of the house in particular you want to see more of and we'll see if we can film it in person next time!
