In 2019, YouTube star PewDiePie purchased a home in Japan. He'd previously talked to his YouTube fans about how much he loves Japan and that he'd like to live there. The first step toward making that happen was purchasing a home, but little did PewDiePie realize the ordeals before him. Three years later, mountains of paperwork, a pandemic all but banning international travel, and a private jet flight, PewDiePie is finally home. He and his wife MarziaPie have officially moved to Japan.
This past week, PewDiePie released a video titled "It finally happened!" which delved into the final steps of moving to Japan. It started with a clip from March 17 when he and MarziaPie submitted their applications for visas. Six days later, the pair picked up their visas, with PewDiePie saying, "We're going! We're finally approved." Visa approvals had been blocked due to the COVID-19 pandemic and had only just re-opened.
After having the visas approved, PewDiePie was faced with another challenging situation. Not only was he moving across the world, but his dogs' health posed a unique problem. One of his dogs was too large to carry in the plane cabin, but had breathing issues and PewDiePie didn't feel safe putting him in cargo. As a result, PewDiePie decided to take a private jet. Through the entire flight, PewDiePie filmed himself sharing how worried and stressed he was, only for customs for him, his wife, and the dogs to go very smoothly.
More recently, PewDiePie shared a new video discussing the entire process of moving to Japan. The heart of the video, however, revolved around why he moved to Japan and what comes next. The why is simple. PewDiePie really likes being there, and that's it. PewDiePie does admit that if he had to do it all over again, he wouldn't do it due to how hard it's been.
As for what's coming next, PewDiePie says that he wants to keep making videos. He doesn't want to "upload for the sake of uploading," though. He'd rather make videos when he feels like sharing what he's feeling or what he's doing.
In the end, this is exactly what PewDiePie has wanted for a very long time. He's incredibly happy to have finally made the move, even if the process of moving was a nightmare. With that said, he doesn't know what's going to come next, but he's excited to find out. As PewDiePie says, he's already looking forward to making a video in 5 years reflecting on everything that happened since he moved. It's YouTube star PewDiePie's adventure in Japan.
