Youtube Review: helpmefindparents's Channel

Review on: helpmefindparents's Channel on youtube.com

The Upside:

If you are like me, you have spent a lot of time watching silly videos on websites like youtube.com. A while back, I somehow stumbled onto helpmefindparents's channel, which includes the journeys of Ken Tenaka. Ken Tenaka, as described on his profile, was born in the United States, and then was adopted by Japanese parents. He is currently on the search for his birth parents, Jonathan and Linda Smith. There are some channels on youtube that just epically suck. This one, however, is quite awesome and funny. Mr. Tenaka's channel includes videos depicting his journey to find his birth parents, along with videos about his time in Hawaii and Japan. One reason why I like this channel is that I can learn and experience other places that I've never been to.

Some things that I've learned through Mr. Tenaka's channel:
1. What natto is,
2. How to speak Japanese without speaking a single word,
3. What a maid cafe is like,
4. A song about Mr. Tenaka's favorite bean,
5. Some terrible Japanese puns,
6. What it is like to live a day (or two) in the life of Jacob the Happy Rabbit,
7. Some Pidgin words,
And so much more!

Also, Mr. Tenaka's channel has introduced to me to several interesting artists that I never would have known about, had I not discovered this channel.

If there is going to be one channel on youtube that you check out, it should be Ken Tenaka's. It is funny, touching at times, and you even learn things along the way. :) Plus, Mr. Tenaka is a very nice man.

The Downside:

It's hard for me to think of a downside of this, except possibly that I wish there were more videos out.

The Random Reviewer gives this youtube channel a 5/5! Check it out now:
