[From Japanese] What to bring when traveling

Hello everyone this is Akane from Akane's Japanese Class Today I' m filming from the best room at Paprika Hotel in Chiba Prefecture It's not just a virtual backdrop you know Just wait a moment Look it's moving perfectly fine Yes today I'd like to show you what I bring along when I travel When traveling what matters most is the type of trip the destination and the mode of transportation as these factors determine what you should bring—whether it's a domestic or international journey or traveling by plane versus car Depending on the method of travel and destination the items you bring will naturally differ but this time I’d like to share what I pack when taking a domestic flight in Japan for a photography trip somewhere First I'd like to introduce the items I use for work Yes here it is—a notebook computer I'm using a Surface I often edit while traveling on Shinkansen trains or airplanes using this notebook computer I've been thinking about the podcast script but I can't edit it without listening to the audio and recently I bought these headphones It's a pair of headphones Sony ones actually with such powerful noise cancellation that I truly feel it was the best purchase I've made this year even though it was quite expensive I impulsively bought it— but I'm glad I did You wear headphones like this right That way the noise-cancellation feature works amazingly well It might be a bit of an exaggeration to say you can't hear anything but when you're on a plane the noise is really intense and when you put on these headphones and start editing I really can't help but notice the sound Also these are the things used for filming Last time I introduced what kind of equipment I used for filming but just to mention right now I'm filming using That's about the way it looks Can you see it That's how I'm filming I'll try using a selfie stick and my iPhone This is a Google Pixel 5 And the most important part is the microphone Today Holy Land has kindly become our sponsor Thank you so much Holy Land has already collaborated with us twice before I'm still using the microphone I received a long time ago but this time I got a new one so I'll introduce this one This is the Lark Max released by Holy Land an upgrade from the Lark M1 I've been using since last year A full-featured portable wireless microphone that works with smartphones cameras or computers What I really liked about the Lark Max is the included magnet You can use it with any outfit simply by attaching a magnet—just stick one on the outside of your clothing and it won’t be noticeable during outdoor shoots Although sold separately the external pin microphone is compatible making it very convenient for outdoor shooting and there are three recording modes available You can adjust the microphone volume individually one by one—this wireless microphone truly has an impressive range of features One of the most convenient aspects of this microphone is The microphone itself has recording capabilities so even if your iPhone or camera fails to record properly Since the audio data is saved when connected to a computer it gives me great peace of mind I just stepped outside my hotel room—what do you think There's a highway behind me and quite a few cars are passing by I think the microphone's sound quality is quite good I've posted a link to LarkMax in the description so feel free to check it out if you're interested Next up is the charging cable This is a Lightning charging cable for iPhone The two ends are shaped like this There are two of them They might differ from what's used in your country Another thing I find extremely convenient and always bring with me is a USB device that can charge various types of devices it's a power bank that I use to recharge my smartphone whenever its battery runs out It's a business card holder My business card is inside When visiting hotels or shops where I'm filming I hand over my card and greet them with a polite request for their support Next is something indispensable to me—something absolutely essential I'm currently wearing contact lenses I have contacts in That's why I always bring along the cleaning solution for my contacts and the contact lens case even though I could buy them at a convenience store if needed but I just feel uneasy without them I'll definitely bring them along since I don't want to be caught off guard if the contact lenses break I'll also pack a spare pair in this zippered pouch After removing contact lenses I wear glasses This is a glasses cloth This is a glasses case Next is earplugs Do you know what these are They look like this Wearing these makes sounds harder to hear I can't sleep well anywhere other than at home I wake up even to small noises Earplugs are essential They're absolutely necessary for me Next up is something for use in the bathroom First I'll introduce the shampoo I usually use the shampoo found in hotels But sometimes there are these trial or sample items available so I use those I bought this one from Mr Matsumoto I wanted to share it with everyone so I purchased it I'll write the price here We generally use the hotel's body soap Next is a toothbrush and toothpaste set Toothpaste these days sometimes says "tooth gel" or "tooth paste " on the label and I actually just bought a new one a moment ago I bought a new one because the one I'd been using was getting quite old It says "travel set" on it It contains a toothbrush and toothpaste I'll write down the price too it was around 400 yen I think Also you wash your face right I'm wearing a bit of makeup too During those times I'll use a makeup remover in the form of clothing so I'll open this one I just picked up since the previous one I used ran out Taking this and wiping it off removes makeup Makeup comes off When traveling skincare toners or creams applied to the face are I usually use test or sample products for that but just now when I went to Matsukiyo I found this set on sale so I'd like to share it with everyone This looks familiar—I think I've seen it at a convenience store It's the Softimo one-night stay set Here's what's inside: Cleansing oil facial wash toner night cream day cream black mask and more—having all these would be very convenient I think When washing my face since my hair is a bit long I use something to tie it back like this rubber band or sometimes I even bring along a hairband This is a hair clip right I bring one to hold back my bangs and this one's inside this bag—it's hair oil I think these were actually Indonesian products weren't they Since they're designed to be used one at a time they're incredibly convenient when traveling Just remove the contents and apply them to your hair for moisture My hair feels nourished After taking a bath I sometimes apply this body lotion This is on my arm I apply body lotion I apply it to my arms And other things I’m bringing along are a steam eye mask I often see foreign tourists purchasing this Placing it over your eyes gives a soothing warmth making it great for relieving eye strain—I sometimes use it on airplanes and also before sleeping at a hotel And this one I haven't used yet but I'm thinking of trying it out soon—it's Megrizumu's carbonated soft foot pack These are adhesive patches you apply to your calves— after traveling extensively and walking a lot don 't your feet often swell up I decided to try them since they seem really effective in such situations Next up for those heading out on trips during the hot summer months this is a must-have It's a wipe-down sheet designed to absorb sweat and there are various types available I'll show you how to do it You pull it out like this and wipe your body with it It feels incredibly cool making you feel refreshed so it's highly recommended for hot summer days There are really all kinds of them available Finally I'd like to introduce something related to medicine — this isn't a medication but I think women may suddenly need it sometimes — this is it — yes this is a sanitary pad for menstruation It's a napkin You can buy it at a drugstore convenience store or supermarket At a drugstore you'll find it in the section labeled feminine hygiene products It says "for daytime use" here some products also indicate whether they're for daytime or nighttime use and others include size details like so many centimeters so if you need one please look for the one that fits you best I've got some Bufferin with me—these little tablets here pain relievers for when you have a headache or stomachache That type of pain-relieving medication is called a painkiller Of course if it lasts for a long time you should see a doctor but if it's just a little painful then I sometimes take this Bufferin when I'm feeling unwell then there's cold medicine which comes in various types but the one I usually take is Contact I haven't been getting sick lately so there' s really been no chance to take it but still when I'm traveling I end up going to places I don't know and my body isn't used to them I think we've all suddenly felt unwell at some point and during those times I figure it's comforting to have a little something like this on hand just in case Then there's bandages—things you stick on injured areas They're also called cut bands Band-Aid is probably a brand name After a quick search He also mentioned that terms like "Bansoukou " or "Sabio" vary by region apparently and today I rented this room not to stay overnight but for another purpose I borrowed this to introduce what I'm bringing for everyone Paprika Hotel thank you so much for always looking after us We really appreciate it So let me show you First take a look at this kitchen It's a magnificent kitchen At Paprika Hotel this room is the only one equipped with a kitchen including a refrigerator and microwave plus a coffee maker—of course it's here Required cooking utensils and equipme Also available is a frying pan There's a sofa and a TV here and the bed is in a separate room There's also a desk and a chair so you can work here There's a TV in this room too Next to the bedroom is a bathroom A clean bathroom with a bathtub Many hotels have things like shampoo and body soap I usually use things from the hotel and you can actually see "Paprika Hotel" written on even the amazing towels That' s right—the hotel's name is Paprika Hotel That's the hotel's name up to here It's unique isn't it Let's take a look outside This room is truly special When you look out Ta-da Isn't it great This is lovely isn't it The atmosphere gets
