  1. can you guys recommend me “male” Japanese speaking Youtube channels (not the ones about learning Japanese) with hard JP subtitles? preferably about traveling or any type of videos that they wont just sit at a spot and talk.

    I just found that watching JP video with jp sub allow me to practice Japanese listening skill and reading skill at the same time.

    So far I’ve found some great channels from girls like ふじわらのみい and いけちゃん. While they are the best, I still want to practice my listening skill from guy voices too.

    As for guys channels about travelling, they seem pretty rare, and the one I’ve found often decided to do the most inconvenient way to make their subs hard to read, like keep changing the fonts size, colors, and position of texts. While the girls’ side usually do the standard way to show subtitles
