Grandpa is so energetic and really loves Wolfy… should bring Wolfy to visit Grandpa more before Wolfy grows up too much... brings much happiness to both

"You're drinking already?" Yes absolutely. Grandpa seems awesome. Glad you are all safe!

I think that most people may fail to grasp is just how amazing it is for the family to allow the filming to happen. This is insanely private, and it’s a privilege to be allowed to see a real slice of Japanese life at an important part of the year. Also, super scary to be caught in an earthquake. Fun fact, Astoria Queens just had a small earthquake a few weeks ago. Very odd. Buildings certainly are not built for that in that part of the world.

Grandpa is such a kid at heart, I absolutely love seeing that!

Good thing your safe man as soon as I saw the news I thought about you I was like " Paolo!!!" 😅

Glad to hear you guys were safe

Oh man, when Wolfy pointed at the TV and said he recognized that as where you guys live, and his emotional tone while saying so, it made me tear up. I'm happy Wolfy listened to you and that you thanked him for doing so!
I hope you and your family and friends are doing better now and that you all have been able to relax and find peace after this incident.

I usually don’t comment but as soon as I heard news I kept checking your channels! So glad you all are safe! Condolences to those who lost their lives. As always your health and family are priority, the KRplus family understands.

Grandpa is definitely the MVP of this video

Grampa is a total G. Drinking through New Year's Eve, getting up before 8am the next day, and serving up shots while wishing for a prosperous year for everyone. Happy to hear you're all safe, my guy.

Dear Paolo, Meiko, Wolfy and extended Family, Happy New Year to you all. I am praying that everyone in Japan recovers quickly from these unexpected and tragic events. I pray that this will not be the way 2024 goes for all of us. I'm also very happy to see your Father-in-Law so full of vitality. God bless you all and keep you safe! ❤🙏✌(I donated through Second Harvest Japan - they have been feeding the folks in the stricken area.)

Your father in law is a hoot...love him. Hair of the dog at 8am New Year's morning LOL. His love for Wolfie is beautiful to see. Hope you are able to get together more often. Happy New Year to the whole family ❤

Wolfy is so fortunate to have these wonderful videos with his parents and grandparents. What a treasure to have when he gets older.

I watch your 2023 new years video often, so thank you for sharing again and glad you're all safe!

憧れる家族ですね😊
マイコさんのお母さんもほんと綺麗で若い！！
お父さんお手製のキムチおいしそうです！

I love wolfy playing with his grandpa, you can see genuine love. It reminds my of my grandpa, I miss him

9:55 Elderly people play with the youngest kids. 😂 This be happend in the most culture too, here in Thailand as same as in Germany. Typically family live... Nice to see and thank you that your grandfather allowed to show it. It looks so lovely and nice to see that all human people are the same. 😊

It is an “international, global thing” guys chilling with each other pre-dinner snacking drinking talking & women doing all the work! ❤😊

I always keep on praying for the safety and the healing for Japan. Every new year has new challenges and I hope you Paolo and your family and friends stay safe.. I wish for the safe travels and people helping there to provide the families, elders, children and the animals too... no one must be left behind... God bless on your future Paolo! 🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵

Grandpa is a freaking treasure and I want to be friends with him. Drinking at 8am? He's so fun 😂 I love his terminology too

Grandpa is such a vibe. I love to hang out with him.

Maiko's father is so sweet! Love that he speaks a little English. Lovely family!

Prayers for all in Japan. Big love and hugs from the USA.

Glad you're okay, Paolo. Prayers up for our friends in Japan.

I hope everyone is ok and I hope you guys have a wonderful new year 🎊🎊🎊 stay safe my friends

I don’t know why but when the earthquake happened I burst into tears. I am so glad your family is safe.

Seeing Wolfy and Grandpa interactions is so good, Grandpa really loves the family.

Grandpa seems so cool :D
I don't remember much from last years video, but I loved to watch the kimchi experience you guys had :D
It's so cool to see your family all together and safe! Happy late new years! :)

I remember immediately going to check your socials to see if you and your family were okay once they broadcasted the earthquake and I was glad to hear everyone is safe. Any time a natural disaster goes through an area my heart goes out to all those affected even the ones that remain unseen, Thank you for sharing not only your New Years experience with your family, but such a real scary moment with the world. I pray that 2024 brings much healing and peace to everyone.
Thank you for sharing those links to donate as well!

As an old white guy from America I can say that your family is amazing and it’s heartwarming to experience your new year with you! Your family get together is somewhat similar to my own, including our California earthquakes…Stay safe!

I want to be friends with grandpa

Maiko's sister (Eri?) Cracks me up, love her and loved to hear her body positivity after the wedding 😂! Thanks for sharing another New Years and I'm glad everyone is safe!

What a wonderful time for Grandpa and his grandson!! Tell Grandpa that in the south of USA we toast every morning with "hair of the dog that bit you!" I love the integration of sacred ritual into everyday and holiday activities.

Glad you guys are OK! One of my friends lives outside of Kyoto and she had gone to Aichi to visit her family for New Years as well. I messaged her immediately and she said they were OK. She called me at 2 am (I woro overnight) and we talked about two hours. I donated too to the Japanese Red Cross. My heart goes out to everyone and their loved ones in Japan. Love from Texas in the United States.
For those unaware: there were 8582 aftershocks with the largest at 6.1 or 6.2. As of right now 221 are dead, 1220 fatalities, and 24 missing. Huge prayers go out to the people of Japan and condolences to the loved ones of the deceased.

We had a 7.6 magnitude earthquake here in Turkey last year so I can completely understand how scary you guys must be… Please take care of yourselves and your family. I personally ache for every single person and animal in the area. I hope all of them are safe. I’ll try my best to do my part to donate ofcourse. I’ve been to Japan twice this year only and Japanese people are kind, hardworking and extremely generous. Love to you & your family in Japan Paolo 💕

Your father-in-law acts so much like my grandfather! I got a little emotional because he(my grandpa or pawpo as I used to call him) was so loving towards the grandchildren. I hope your father-in-law lives a long life so Wolfy can have great memories with him!

Grandpa is cool

Grandpa is the main character for the channel! He is the best !

Wolfy and Grandpa's bond is very sweet

I get the feeling that Grandpa is enjoying having guys in the family now after being the only guy for so long. I love the way he's enjoying a drink with his sons-in-law, getting them to try his kimchi experiments that his daughters refuse to try. And I love the way he uses his whole body to play with Wolfy.

I am in Western Australia, very similar time zone and when I heard about the earthquake my heart stopped and I began to cry and then the death reports started coming in… I pray for everyone who was affected and I will do everything to help you 🙏

I am glad you are safe Paolo, my heart goes out to everybody that has been hurt due to the earthquakes. Let us be thankful that the number is lower than it could have been were it not for the great Japanese architecture.

I’m very pleased you’re all unharmed from the earthquake. I’ve been through a 5.9 in California once and wasn’t very impressed by the experience.

I’m very glad that you and your family stayed safe during that scary time. My heart goes out to all of the affected families. 🇯🇵♥️

Glad you guy's are safe and poor grandma she sounded so scared 😢

Hope ur safe now Paolo and family

I was so suprised to hear Maiko was from Toyota. I also live in Toyota City with my Japanese husband and 3 children.

Spending time with family is priceless.

I was in Osaka with my family ...We had a great time , Headed back to Singapore on Christmas Eve....and one week later , this happened.... Thoughts and prayers are with the people of Japan.....

Grandpa is so dope man, he needs more screen time in the future!

At 62, I have not been up for The New Year for almost 10 years, things to do the nest day... nice family event, Thank you for sharing, Wolfy looks so happy with Grandpa :-)

Your son has grown up so much x he’s adorable

Spending time with you, maiko and Wolfe has become a NY tradition 😊✨ sending our thoughts to the affected people of Japan hope 2024 is brighter 🇯🇵

Thank you for inviting us to your in-laws house. That is so cool. I saw the longhorn on the wall and I’m thinking that you need a cowboy hat for that. That’s awesome GG and Wolfy are bonding. I love GG with morning sake.

Seeing Wolfy with his grandparents is so wholesome

Glad that everyone is safe! Wolfy is beyond precious!! His excitement and everyone's keeping calm was wonderful. Somehow, having a child in the group makes everyone focus on kiddo's reaction and takes away from adults' own. Was so grateful for friends and family's welfare but brokenhearted for all affected. 🎉

I was in Tokyo during the earthquake and we felt it all the way from there. The entire building was swaying for a good minute or so (or at least it felt like it). It was pretty scary and I'm glad your family was safe.

Glad to hear that you and your family are safe and well it was a big shock to see the news on tv about the earthquake 🙏🏻😢🫶🏻🇬🇧🫶🏻

Grandpa seems like he is so much fun!

After living in Japan for 9 years I say I love the culture and the anime

Oh my goodness! I'm so glad you and your family are alright, Paolo! Not really the best way to start off the new year, but I'm glad you still made the best of it anyway. My Japanese dance teacher was talking about maybe fundraising to help those affected by the earthquake.

Love Grandpa. Such a positive happy attitude person! Very motivating!

13:57 His 'YES!" sent me! Long live grandpa!

Your Father in law is awesome!

> I have experienced several smaller earthquakes here in Southern California, so i empathize with everyone affected by the New Years quake in Japan. Thank you for sharing this family video with us all - love to see how Wolfy is growing up. And i am looking forward to my next visit to Tokyo this year, end of March - PS, i ordered 2 bottles of Hot Sauce last week ~

I cant remember ever seeing your parents or family memberse visiting Japan. I know Filipinos are so family oriented and Lolos and Lolas adore their grandkids so would love to see that one day. Miko's mom is gorgeous. Really looks young for her age.

I just love Grandpa❤. Treasure him! Makes me miss my Dad. ❤

Glad you’re all safe ! 🙏🙏🙏for the people of Japan

A mild version is just what I've been wanting! I ordered the original for a friend to support the operation and left you notes about a mild one in my order notes last year. Cant wait for it to come out.

What started out as a wholesome family gathering turns into a scary seismic event. It's amazing that you captured the moment on video and I'm glad that your family is safe.

I love grandpa. He's so friendly and adorable and he looks a bit like my dad
👏🥰💕

Everyone seems to be having a rough start! My whole house got covid for the first time! Stay safe everyone!

thats so sad of what happend truly heart breaking!

I love grandpa's energy! Really a secret to a long life is being this happy❤

i was standing on compacted snow at Gala Yuzawa ski resort when the strong earthquake struck! thankfully i didn't lose my balance as it was my first snow experience! I'm praying for those who perished during the earthquake. 🙏🙏🙏

Thank you for sharing your sweet family time. Peace

I hope Wolfy can visit his grandparents more often as you guys can. ❤

Glad you are all safe. Condolences to those who lost their lives.

I'm so glad you and your family are safe!

Wow!!! Your mother-in-law looks amazing!!!!

Thank you for sharing your family's New Year's traditions and I'm so glad your family was safe during the earthquake!!

First of all, I wish you a speedy recovery and overcoming the big shock of the New Year. From another earthquake country in Türkiye, I can understand and relate to you. Unfortunately, it is also part of our lives. I just hope we all get out of this unscathed. Best greetings

So glad you all are safe ❤❤❤

Ahaha Paolo is holding on for dear life and grandpa is like “keep up!” 😂

So glad you and your family are safe. My thoughts and prayers to everyone that was effected

I'm so glad to hear you guys were safe!🙏

Thank you for sharing!

Sending much love to you and all the family, glad to hear you are safe and have sent a donation to the Japan Red Cross

Your In-laws seem so kind, have nice sense of humor and everyone seems happy. Such a nice atmosphere to relax and be together. Happy New Year!

Thank you for posting, your family was in our thoughts.

Sending prayers and hugs for all those who are affected by the earthquake and tsunami

You can tell Grandpa enjoys having you guys around and sharing beers with Paolo.
Glad to hear and see that you all are safe. ❤
