The intrepid Japanese vlogger known as Ghib Ojisan has taken a new step towards becoming a true blue Singaporean – the man bought a flat.
The full-time YouTuber and his Singaporean wife recently bought a four-bedroom resale flat, he announced in his latest vlog, something that has since made him feel officially based in Singapore.
Not much is known about the exact location of his new abode, but he revealed that it is a “dream house” that is not so central but has a balcony with magnificent views of nature. Ojisan also shared that the apartment costs approximately $ 500,000, which would place it among the most mature farms in the country.
“I’m officially broke,” he laughed, adding that he is nevertheless still happy that he and his wife can move out of his in-laws’ house, where he has been staying for the past two years. The vlogger also shared a glimpse of how elated his mother-in-law was upon hearing the good news.
Ojisan had previously detailed the struggles of finding a home in Singapore in an earlier video, describing how he and his wife have been looking at a couple of homes but have failed to find one that fits their budget. It was after a round of negotiations with the real estate agent and seller that he managed to get the house for that price.
“This was by far the most expensive thing I ever bought,” he said.

However, they are not moving yet, as the seller requested a temporary two-month extension of stay and they will not move as soon. He and his wife plan to renovate parts of the house, something that would be common for new homeowners in Singapore, but unfamiliar to people in Japan, where most apartments already look good, he said.
Plans to buy a home in Singapore had been launched earlier this year, when Ojisan laid out the reasons why he chose to settle here rather than his homeland.
“My current focus is to show more of Singapore,” he stated in a vlog in August.
“I want more people to understand this country better. That is my current goal for obvious reasons, I better stay in Singapore. “
