I'm leaving the United States for good in a few weeks and moving to Tokyo, Japan. I've already started a new channel called, Ken The Road Warrior, that will be a Jvlogging channel as they are called in case you're unfamiliar with the term. It will be a channel about the true and gritty side of Tokyo and Japan as a whole. However, what I wanted to ask is this. If you are interested in content like this, what is it that you would like to see from a channel like this? What would have you coming back for more?

Differences in culture, possibly showing some spots that us Americans would never see in our neck of the woods ^^ Maybe you can interview some people that speak English too?

Hmm, that's actually a great idea. I did actually want to interview some Japanese but I kept thinking my Japanese wasn't good enough. I'm such an idiot I forgot that there are plenty of Japanese that speak at least decent English. In fact I spoke to a bunch of them when I went in October so I don't know why I didn't think of that possibility. Thanks for the great ideas. I want to be the top Jvlogger but I have a long ways to go to get to that point.

Hah, it's all good. We get excited about doing something fancy, and we forget the smaller ideas ^^ And no problem at all, I'm glad my suggestion magically worked out in the end for you. I hope your Jvlogging goes fantastically in the future!

Food reviews is a good idea too... thats another genre in itself... there are actually quite a few foodie channels in canada and usa...

If you could get yourself a comment from daym drops or ken domick you could do really well.

Yes I think food will be a huge part of my channel actually. I have to remind myself of the types of Jvlogging that I like and I too always love food videos really from anywhere. Yeah food is a big thing that we can all relate to. I'm going to try to show as much food as I possibly can from everything including convenience stores to fine dining.

Cultural differences(if possible), food vlogs(I'm obsessed with trying new foods :p), and locations which not alot of jvloggers cover. Maybe even a look at the structures and artwork there.
Yeah I have some footage of places like that already. I just haven't been able to upload it all yet. I actually have about 15-20 hours of video footage and like 500 pictures from all over Tokyo. Right now I'm just uploading it bit by bit on my channel but all of that I got from my month and a half there but now that I'm going there to live, well I'm going to have way more time, even to explore outside of Tokyo.

I think you should just straight up Vlog what you're doing such as like walking around Japan, food, and Vlog some crazy cool places! I'll definitely watch it! :D

Cool, thanks for saying that. Yeah I've seen a lot of different Jvloggers over the last two years so I'm going to try to stand out from them as much as I can to offer people a unique perspective.
