Thank you so much Tom—really appreciate you support! ^^ Hope I can continue to provide you and the rest of the community with high quality, informative content!

Tom

Nice work, man. Always great to see someone reach a milestone they've had in their mind for such a long time. When I first came across your content, even as an absolute beginner, it quickly became apparent how significant an impact phonetics can have on language competency. I think we all appreciate the time you put into this in your spare time, and the degree of polish that's apparent in your production. Looking forward to more!

Dogen

Thank you Christopher!

Christopher Sharp

Keep up the great work

Dogen

Hi Nathan! Thanks so much for the kind words. Glad to hear that you enjoy both the comedic and educational content ^^ Hope to entertain and inform for years to come!

Dogen

Hi Michael, thanks for the questions. I'll be sure to answer all of these in the upcoming video. The long story short, the sooner you get legally married the better—most banks will look to see if you've been married to a Japanese national for at least three years. Hope this helps! ^^

Dogen

Thank you so much Arthur! I'm thrilled to hear that my course and comedic videos have been so inspiring for you! Keep up the hard work—it will definitely pay off in the end! ^^ Stay tuned for the tour video as well!

Dogen

Nathan Vegdahl

おめでとうございます！！！ I am so excited for you, and am so glad that your YouTube productions--both comedy and educational--have brought you to this point. I am so thankful for all of the content you produce. Your comedy sketches always brighten my day, and your Japanese pronunciation videos are second-to-none and have had a huge impact on my Japanese studies. You deserve this, Dogen!

Dogen

Thank you Lisa! So glad you enjoyed the video!

Dogen

Thanks so much Ilan! Truly appreciate your continued support!

Dogen

haha that makes two of us then. Thank you for the support Chris—hope you enjoy the videos!

Dogen

Thank you Ray, appreciate the love! ^^

Dogen

Thank you so much Caoimhín! It's a great place so I'm sure we will. Hope you enjoy the video!

Dogen

Thanks Jacob, appreciate the support! ^^ Being a foreigner definitely complicates things significantly, especially if you don't have permanent residence (I don't). I'll address this more in the upcoming videos! Correct, in Japanese a mortgage is usually referred to as a 住宅ローン, or housing loan. Thanks again!

Dogen

hahaha I'll be sure to include some MTV editing. Have to show the fridge, right?

Dogen

Thanks so much Kevin, I really appreciate the kind words. Always great to hear that people are getting a lot out of the program!

Dogen

Thank you Simon, and thank you for your continued support! Glad to hear you like these videos as well :D

Dogen

Thank you Adam! I hope it turns out OK ^^

Dogen

Thanks so much Johannes. Really appreciate your continued support over the years!

Dogen

Thanks Dale, really hope that everything works out for you! Not sure where you'll be, but if you plan on working in Tokyo try to live in Kanagawa, preferably by Yokohama. It's a beautiful area!

Dogen

Thank you TJ! Let me know if you have any specific questions!

Dogen

ありがとう、Stephen! ^^

Congrats man!! Being a foreigner myself, I look forward to hearing more about the process. If you do a video about it, can speak to the credit system(?), down payment, and any other of the details that would be relevant? I come from America as well so any contrast you can provide would be extremely helpful. I live in Tokyo now with my Japanese fiance and we are looking to move to somewhere rural to raise a family.

Dogen, I want to say congratulations and a large thank you to you for being such a pivotal part of my Japanese studies. Almost a year ago at this point I didn’t know a single thing in Japanese, but knew I wanted to one day become near-perfect at this language no matter what effort it might take. I found your channel and videos and it gave me the inspiration and motivation to follow this goal. You have helped me stay on course, and have been kind enough to be open to questions and concerns I have had during the process thus far. I wish all the best to you and your family wherever life takes you next. ありがとうございます。

本当におめでとうございます。小さい頃からの憧れの国とはいえ、ここまで来るには「山あり谷あり」だったと思います。自分のことのように嬉しいです。シェアしてくださって、ありがとうございました。

Iliana Salinas

おめでとうございます！たくさんの人の夢を実現したと思います！嬉しいです！アパートツアーや手続きのビデオをお待ちしています！改めておめでとうございます！

Jeremy Lua

おめでどうございます！

Lisa Williams

This is so wholesome. 😭 Congratulations!

Ilan Gonzalez Carigi

Congrats! I don't know what to say except that you've earned it, we wouldnt be here if it weren't for you. :)

Newchurch

Congratulations! Looking forward to the tour. Kinda disappointed you already made the マンション joke in an earlier video now though. (¯―¯٥)

Roy Sieh

Congratulations on your new home, Dogen! Truly well-deserved!

Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh

Congrats Dogen! It's a great milestone and a well-deserved achievement. Wishing you and your family many happy years in your new place!

Jacob Bosley

Is it just that purchasing a house is more difficult in Japan (compared to other places) or is it being a foreigner that makes the process more difficult? A 35 year loan sounds a lot like a mortgage so are they the same deal? Also thank you so much for your videos, really appreciate your content both on Patreon and Youtube.

マイク・スダノ

Very happy for you, man. It's really well deserved. Thank you for all that you do. Looking forward to MTV Cribs - Inaka.

Kevin Griffin

Congratulations! Your work is vital to anyone who really wants to speak well, and your talent in Japanese is so well complimented by your teaching skills. But especially, as a rare example that fluency is really possible, you've done so much. We're grateful too!

tensaimon

Great news, congratulations, and love your improvised vids, we get to see a different side of you! Good luck with the move!

Adam Papai

Congratulations! Can't wait to see the tour video :D

Johannes

That's so great to hear Dogen, congratulations! All the best in the new mansion and looking forward to the tour!

Dale Shephard

Massive, huge congratulations. So great to see. And no one more deserving. Very inspirational. I recently moved to a global consulting firm, staying in my field of expertise, with the explicit intension of creating myself an opportunity to move to Japan. They want this also. So what that looks like, I don't know yet. A 6 month secondment? I move my wife out with me? Who knows. But seeing what you've achieved has injected me with motivation. ありがとうございましたドーゲン先生。

TJapan

Wow congratulations Dogen!!! Super happy for you! You absolutely deserve it for all the hard work you’ve put in! My partner and I will be looking to buy in the (distant) future so I’d be very interested in learning about the process and seeing a video of YOUR NEW マンション！
