00:00Hi! Hello! Good morning Mars!
00:06Konnichiwa!
00:08Konnichiwa!
00:09Konbanwa Ohayou Gozaimasu!
00:11They were just talking about Mars Tuesday in Japanese.
00:17I know that Tuesday is also in Japanese.
00:19No, I like it in Tagalog.
00:21Not in Tagalog, in Filipino.
00:23Oh, in Filipino, okay.
00:26But Tuesday's mother has been living in Japan for how many years already?
00:29She's been living in Osaka for 32 years already.
00:31That's why the people in Japan thought that you're half Japanese.
00:34I really look like half Japanese, half garden.
00:37I have gardens on my body.
00:41We have a question because we're curious.
00:43Of course, we missed Japan, right?
00:45Mars Maricar, what's happening there?
00:48Is your singing still going on?
00:49How's the entertainment industry there?
00:52Well, fortunately, the beauty of our works at night has returned.
00:58Live houses, just like my work.
01:00It's open again.
01:01Thank God, thank God.
01:03Yes, it's back again.
01:04Let's not wait any longer because our Mars is excited to see Japan.
01:08Give us a tour there.
01:10Yes, let's go!
01:12Let's go!
01:13Let's take a look.
01:14There!
01:15Oh my God!
01:16Oh!
01:17We're here!
01:18Exactly, Mars!
01:19Where is that?
01:20In Ameyoko, Ueno.
01:21Okachimachi, there.
01:23In Uendo.
01:25Ueno, Ueno, yes.
01:27You know, Mars bars are very famous in the Philippines
01:31because there are a lot of bargains there.
01:33There are a lot of street foods, a lot of bargains that are out of date.
01:35Which is very popular now, Japan gold.
01:38There are a lot of them.
01:39And vintage clothes, right?
01:40They sell vintage clothes there, I remember.
01:42Yes, vintage clothes are also there.
01:44Mars, is COVID-19 over there?
01:46It looks like COVID-19 is free.
01:47It looks like I don't see anyone wearing a mask.
01:49Oh, that's how it is.
01:50Japanese, Mars, Camille, they're really crazy.
01:55Actually, pre-COVID, they really wear a mask.
01:57For pollution.
01:58Yes, they really feel that it's not good.
02:01They really wear it.
02:02But how's the COVID situation there?
02:06It's a bit less now.
02:08But of course, we don't know.
02:10Maybe others are just hiding the cases.
02:13But of course, the Japanese people are still here.
02:15They still wear a mask.
02:17They're considered Japanese.
02:18All businesses are open already?
02:20Yes.
02:21All businesses are open?
02:22Yes, Fars King is open.
02:23We have an event, the Philippine Expo is coming soon.
02:26All Filipinos will be banding here.
02:30How many years have you been in Japan, Mars?
02:32It's been 20 years, Fars King.
02:3420 years?
02:35Wow!
02:36Did you marry a Japanese man?
02:38Yes, I'll be a showbiz star.
02:41Actually, I got divorced.
02:43I was married before to a Japanese man.
02:45I've been divorced for 5 years.
02:46And then, maybe I'll get married again.
02:49Wow!
02:50Why not?
02:51Second chance in life.
02:52What do we see here?
02:53It looks like a lake.
02:54That's Ueno Park.
02:55That's Ueno Park.
02:56We know Mars Tuesday.
02:58Yes, in front of the zoo.
03:00Yes.
03:02That's where the Filipino community events are held.
03:05Okay.
03:06This coming Philippine Expo will be held at Ueno Park.
03:08So, Ueno is a popular area for Filipinos.
03:11Yes, yes.
03:12Okay.
03:13Ueno District is right in the middle of Tokyo, Mars?
03:16Yes, yes.
03:17It's close.
03:18It's in the middle of Tokyo.
03:19So, it's close to Ginza?
03:20It's close to Ginza.
03:21Ginza.
03:22Yes.
03:23It's my favorite place.
03:24The fashion district is close to there.
03:26Yes.
03:27There are a lot of street foods there in Ueno Park.
03:31You can buy them if you get tired of walking there.
03:33There are paraguayos there.
03:37Yes.
03:38Malikar, of course, you said you've been there for 20 years.
03:41So, of course, you miss your family.
