hello jas! You mentioned about watching videos to improve your Japanese, may I know which Japanese youtube channels do you watch or recommend?
Hello! As for recommendation I think it depends on what kind of genre of videos you prefer so it’s really up to personal preferences.
Personally for j-vloggers I’m into 2 genres: beauty or comedy/lifestyle kind of vids,
For beauty channels I subscribed to a couple of them but recently I’m into these channels: Ami Morita:

She’s not like your typical Japanese lady and her style is pretty cool so I think it’s pretty interesting. I think she received a couple of comments about the way she speaks Japanese, more like her pronunciation? Like she squeezed her words together and personally I like the way she enunciates her words, idk, I just love listening to it HAHAH

At first I was just watching her videos as per normal but after a couple of videos I realized she’s actually Korean?! Her Japanese (esp her accent) was really good (not 100% convincing but still) so I was really impressed and motivated by her. Not to mention she doesn’t live in Japan so it’s really impressive! She has beauty channels in Korean too!

When I first discovered her she was just around at 10k subscribers but I knew her channel is going to grow at a super high speed rate and I was right! Firstly she’s adorable af and secondly she’s has a super fluffy and healing vibes so I love watching her videos!
There are still a couple more but I don’t want this to become longer than it’s going to be… For comedy/lifestyle videos:I used to watch like tons of them but now honestly speaking I only watch A FEW of themよきき

His videos are usually quite interesting, esp the ones he had to dress up as a girl which he is pretty convincingly looking like one and the cute ones he filmed with his little sister. He does a lot of fan service and I like that hahaha. He’s not like super try-hard or annoying noisy and he isn’t afraid to show his unattractive side which I think that’s probably why I appreciate this genuine side of his. ちゅるちゃんねる

Ok this one is like a mixture of beauty and comedy? First and foremost, she’s TRANS! ニューハーフ！！！ She’s really pretty and I’m surprised that similar to Yokiki, she also isn’t afraid to her unattractive side too and I like that. She only has a few videos atm but they’re pretty interesting to me.
Channels that I watch on-and-off:Takanen Worldたかねん
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCB10yM5qyQpNsMNDQ1VHxKgI’m surprised that she has quite a lot of haters but they decreased quite a lot recently I think. Tbh I think her videos are kinda easy to watch? As weird as it sounds but yeahねこてん
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCI5qMix97T3tVZfxmHObDjAShe’s really popular and also, a lot of haters and I used to watch her videos religiously because I think they are kinda therapeutic but now I’m not into them as much as before. But recently she changed her video filter and I think it’s looking really great on her so I’m kinda like back into the train haha
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmsA3A5_HKBwI9OktSttTFgShe has a really mature vibes and again, a non-typical Japanese lady style so I do watch her videos from time to time! She recently she did some plastic surgery so I’m like curious and back into the train again
That’s all! Hopefully you find some of them enjoyable! c:
