[Life in Japan Theme Song]

遂に届きました！

Something special just came in.

これです！

A FEW DAYS EARLIER

ガッカリさせたらごめんなさい 我が家の好物です

Here it is!

これです！

Not what you were expecting. Some popcorn. That is important for us.

ドローンはこのチャンネルに 欠かせません

Boy, oh boy, oh boy!

この DJI Air 2S は 小型で扱いやすいです

I've been flying drones for years, putting footage in Life in Japan videos.

ポーチ付きです

So I'm super excited about this new, small and easy to fly package from DJI Air 2S.

バッテリーを入れて 完成です

It comes in a nice little pouch.

出発！

Here it is. Getting it together. It needs a battery. Boy, this is a light little guy.

教会のキャンプで 奥多摩に出掛けます

Lets go? Yay!

豊かな自然の中で リフレッシュします

This weekend I'm headed to the beautiful mountain town of Okutama for men's retreat sponsored by our church.

奥多摩に来ました 早朝の山でドローンの初飛行です

There's something so refreshing about getting out into nature for a weekend like this.

息を呑む景色です

So I'm out in Okutama. And I got up early. Its a beautiful morning to try the drone for the very first time.

私たちのキャンプ場です

The footage is just gorgeous. Oh my goodness.

想像以上の性能です 着陸させましょう

That's a cool view of where we are staying.

初飛行は大成功！

This is fantastic. I think I'm going to bring it in for a landing. Here we go.

迷彩柄で景色に溶け込んでいるかも

First flight done.

多摩川の橋に向かいます

I'm heading down this trail in my camo so I can't be seen.

近所の多摩川の上流です

So that I can get to the bridge down here that goes across the Tama River

山奥まで来ると美しいです ラフティングやカヌーも楽しめます

That's right. This is the same Tama River that goes right by our house.

素晴らしい景色です

Way up in the mountains. Its just beautiful up here. Its rapid so actually this is a very popular place to go white water rafting and canoeing.

見て下さい

What a cool view out here in the middle. Oh my goodness.

コーヒーを飲んで 初飛行をお祝いします

Look at that.

楽しみです

I think I can celebrate the first flight by going to get a coffee.

綺麗な山々です

That sure sounds good. I haven't had one yet.

セブンイレブン

Look at this view here, just gorgeous.

コーヒーで初飛行をお祝いしました キャンプに戻りましょう

Its the 7 Eleven

綺麗なチャペルです これからピアノを弾きます

I have my coffee. I got a good drone flight in. Now its time to head back to the camp.

いいね！

The men's retreat. There's this beautiful chapel here and I get to play this beautiful piano.

夏といえば教会のキャンプです 学校の夏休みは日本では8月です

Oh yes.

- 何しているの？ - 日記

Camps and retreats certainly belong to the summer, but in Japan the actual summer break for the schools doesn't start when summer does, but only in August.

日記？どう纏めてるの？

Whatcha working on Anna? My journal.

絵を描いたり色々書く

Your journal? How do you do your journal?

日記に漫画みたいな絵も描くの？

I'm drawing a manga and doing my journal.

You're drawing a manga. So each day you draw a manga, a cartoon, and that is like your journal?

これがお気に入り
