James Franko I am a Nigerian and I came to Spain when I was 8 and I am 17... Obviously I would "forget" English... Since it is Spanish and Catalan/Mallorquin they speak here in Spain...
But I love getting fries, hamburgers, and milk everyday. I love the cardboard flavoured milk, the pre-made burger on stale bread, and the fries that seem more like mashed potatoes than any type of fries. Also I would like to add that this one of the best tasting lunches at my school, gotta love this pre-made frozen food right?
I live in a hella conservative part of the country, and our local news likes to stir up drama on Facebook. Everytime they post an article about the state of school lunches, the locals lose their minds. Their argument is: I provide lunch for my own child, and therefore I couldn't care less about the nutrition of others. They freak out about the prospect of an extra couple dollars in taxes that could provide decent food to ALL children. Personally, as a childless American, I think that's disgusting.
I went to Japan last year and ate in a resto. I ordered chicken karaage and I thought it has a small portion but I was surprised that I didn't finish everything. My stomach got full quickly.
Just saw a video of a german girl in america explaining that she doesn't walk anymore and the most american thing she did is to take the car for 0.1 mile ride to the store to get snacks:)
@@josefienp2704 it really is :( but it just feels weird to walk. Ig America judges more and is you’re seen walking you just look homeless idk maybe it’s just my state
Also I found that when you eat "healthy" food you're viewed as someone that is dieting and just wanting to be skinny which makes me really self conscious. Like no, can't I just eat food without being slapped with a stereotype?
after being on a strict diet (very strict), my tastes changes a lot. The candy i used to eat, can’t even look at it. It grosses me out thinking how sweet it is etc. Im glad i’m able to see how unhealthy stuff is.
true, it is all a matter of what you are used to. i used to drink a lot of soda as a teen but i dont really like it anymore after getting used to only drinking unsugared tea and water, its just too sweet for me now.
No, only Japanese in Asia eats real food. Actually Japan is kind of unique. Healthy food are a lot cheaper than most of Asia. Like fish, meat, egg, yogurt, veggies... Normally at least two times cheaper sometimes up to five. Most of the places in Asia eats unhealthy, where I grow up child obesity rate is higher than the US on stats. Reason that Asian aren't that fat right now is because they were poor and the food industry isn't that advanced. People used to eat brown rice and sweet potato, nowadays it is considered food for caveman. Asia is basically 50 years behind western society.
scrappy coco Seriously? My family eats brown and black rice. It’s expensive that’s why people can’t afford it. White bleached GMO rice is cheaper which the poor eat and they could be thin or obese. But in my country, the middle class is growing and people are spending way too much of it on fast food. I live in Philippines by the way.
@@JosephDeLosSantos-t3m Brown rice and white rice can both be GMO or not GMO. White rice need to be peeled so it should be more expensive. And is there any white bleached rice ? My family used to own a rice processing factory and after peeling the brown rice becomes white rice. Well, you have a healthy family. Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand etc (sorry haven't been to Philippine), there's no brown rice in restaurant or take out. I'm in Taiwan now ( traveling most of the time ).
Not in the country I lived in Asia. There is so much processed food here in metro city. I live side by side with preserve substance. Everything is instant produced not through the process
What I also noticed when out in Asia is that they generally price their healthy options way cheaper than in Europe. In the UK for example eating healthily is really expensive.
Plus, home cooked food adds into the healthiness factor, when I grew up fast food was rare compared to the home cooked food I'd normally receive. Though, I also have a high metabolism so that adds to it. I honestly wish healthy foods weren't priced higher in America, it sucks even for the Asian style restaurants here, they are not true Asian food most of the time: for example, Japanese people call American sushi as a _California Roll_ because it doesn't taste like Japanese sushi, many don't think of it as sushi.
what frustrates me is that in america, real food is more expensive than food-like "food". why is that? is it because the food-like products are cheaper to make? genuinely curious
Government agricultural subsidies usually go to corn, making it more profitable for farmers to grow corn, and cheaper for mega corporations to buy corn and make corn products. It can then be sold very cheaply. Same goes for wheat and I think Soy. This is why so much food-like things are made from wheat, contain high fructose corn syrup, and if there's an added oil it's soy oil
Pre made frozen foods in a box are definitely more expensive than things like rice , beans, ground beef , chicken , pork , fish , pasta , fruits and veggies , etc etc. Seems to be kind of a myth that they're not -- it's crazy expensive to eat nothing but things like pizza rolls , frozen burritos, frozen meals and pop tarts. "Real food " only becomes extremely expensive when it's organic versions , grass fed meats , vegetarian meat substitutes, etc. Some people feel these things are necessary to be truly healthy, but they're really not
in my school all the economy classes cook once a week so the food is done by us or atleast us who are doing economy its not always tasty but its not unhealthy
The U.S. government lied when they made the food pyramid to save money on the amount of food stamps they give. The scientist they hired even told the government it would make people diabetic, and the government did not care. They cared more about spending less money.
Yeah man the only edible things at my school were the things they didnt make. Everyone looked forward to a chicken nugget day and LOATHED the shitty "homeade" meals. They were so hung up on making them healthy the meals became unedible. I swear this one time they gave us mushy pasta with white sauce "alfredo" and it literally had more resemblance to semen than any food ive ever seen. Not even to mention the fruits and vegetables they gave us! People ask why so much fruit gets thrown away when everything tasted like styrofoam (and i suspect had the nutritional value of it too). The restrictions on portion size wouldnt even let kids take extra vegetables.
I lost 6 kilos in my 14 days stay in Japan. I loved it! I walked everyday, and that is why I still lost weight considering that I was there to try almost every food. I miss eat! I would consider retiring in Japan.
I'm from Spain, and I eat a pescatarian, mostly vegetarian Mediterranean diet. I've been on exchange to Canada for a year and I couldn't agree more. People don't eat food here! It's so weird. They're so unhealthy, everything is packaged or fried, and people don't know how to cook. It's been really hard on my health, but I've lost weight by basically not eating because I find everything disgusting lmao. Also, I live on University campus and don't have kitchen access, so I have to eat at the cafeteria every day and it's horrible, there is no fish, barely any vegetables and legumes are nowhere to be seen, I get by by eating mostly soup
Honestly, the Japanese food presentation is an art in itself. With the food served up and looking so delicious, I would likely eat it first then ask what it was after just based on the appearance.
I was in Japan once, only for two days but it was a fantastic experience. The people were friendly, the city was remarkably clean and had many parks and gardens, the vending machines were plentiful and even though there were almost never any trash cans near the machines there was also no strewn around bottles and cans everywhere because people have respect and patience. I saw small children that looked no more than 6 years old taking the subway by themselves with no issues because the crime rates even in the city seem surprisingly low. I would definitely like to go back some day but give myself an actual week or more to explore the country proper.
I would visit......but I’m black so.....don’t think it’d be fun being stared at like a side show. Not saying they’re necessarily racist, but just don’t see black people often there so from what I’ve seen they seen almost amazed when they see one in person.
nah i was there for a week and I think Japanese people are polite enough to know not to do things like that, and trust me its an extremely fun experience
Your comment made me laugh thinking about the first time I visited my Caucasian friend in her remote hometown. Wherever we went, people were staring at me...first, I felt uncomfortable, then, I got used to the stares and later I even felt a little like a celebrity that day! It's their first time seeing an Asian! hahaha When I visited Japan a few years back, I went with a group tour and there was one African American family. Wherever we went, people would stare at the father, not the whole family just the father, we later found out that the Japanese people (mostly women) who stared at him told our guide that the father looked like Denzel Washington! needless to say that for the rest of the tour that day, he couldn't stop smiling...hehehe So, my suggestion to you is don't let that little thing prevent you from visiting one of the nicest and most beautiful countries in the world! Have a safe trip there and enjoy! ^_^
I feel like a major reason for Japan making the top 50 cancer rate list i simply because they don't die of other causes such as heart disease which leads to them living longer and eventually getting cancer.
@Ethan Noel Where are you getting your information? If cancer thrives off sugar and carbs Japan should be in the top 10 because carbs are served at almost every meal. The US is number 5 compared to Japan at number 43.
I'm quite sure carbs are served at pretty much every meal in every country there is lol. In western countries it's bread, potato, rice, sweet potato, oats and what have you. The Japanese eat more rice but potato for example is less common. I bet Americans eat more carbs than the Japanese do because they eat more calories in general.
Another HUGE cause for the cancer rate is the high intake of fermented foods. While fermented foods are very beneficial to the body's microflora and microbacteria in the gi tract, it can also lead to damage within the gi tract itself. This damage often leads to cancer. I guess its a win lose scenario.
In my experience and from what I hear from others, being fit is mostly about diet. Exercise is important of course, but if you don't eat too many calories to begin with, then you don't have so many that you need to burn off ...
The food, the culture , the way of living mindful and in peace love this culture. Since the corona crisis began I consumed food with lots of gluten and carbs and just when I think in Germany there is a bakery on every corner and the biiig coffe cups with milk. We make our bodies sick and only we can change it by making the right choices and not waiting for the medicine to put some chemicals in our bodies.
Bread is not making you sick lmao. Gluten and carbs are not your enemy, it's about how much we eat of it. And btw, medicine is not putting chemicals into your body. Everything consists of chemicals. And honestly be glad we have medicine at all lol
I live in Namba, Osaka, and when I go to Sushiro and Kura Sushi, which are conveyor-belt sushi restaurants, there are many foreign customers and they are very popular. A plate of fresh sushi can be had for only one dollar, and there is no need to tip. The Japanese are having a hard time because of the weak yen, but for foreigners, it's heaven.
This is becoming one of my new favorite channels. You present info very well, and I learn something while enjoying it from start to finish. Great videos!
im deadass a vegetarian and I sat here, watched a video mostly about meat, went “I should eat some of that if it helps improve skin elasticity,” remembered I was a vegetarian, Now I don’t know what to eat,
Veggies don't "line your stomach", acid does. Veges actually take a long time to digest, they have to putrify in the large intestine where the microbiomes break them down. The stomach lining has a very acid pH, it is designed to kill invading microbiomes and is designed to digest meat, which is faster to digest.
They keys to health are: gut bacteria, real food, reasonable portions, and positive mindset. If your gut bacteria are less than optimal, there is a way to resolve it, fecal transplantation. Real food is hard. Reasonable portions are discipline. Positive mindset is hard as well and takes time, but is possible.
Don't be discouraged by the rudeness of people correcting your English. I understood your meaning. It is very courteous of you to use English here, and your manners show you to be a better person tHan those who correct you ; ). Cheers!
I find your discussion of the consumption of organ meats and cartilage, from 6:00 to 8:00, to be fascinating. Personally, whenever I eat chicken, I love to chomp on the ligaments and suck on the bone marrow! 😋 As a U.S. citizen, I've always wondered why organ meats are rarely consumed in my country. Could you please do a video on this topic in the future?
And having to learn moonspeak, and getting a visa and a job there. Only to eventually realize Japan has it's own issues and you could have been healthy and happy staying where you were. But I guess life is about the journey, so enjoy.
or you could just eat pickles and learn how to cook organs and other foods.. youtube is full of cooking tuts on everything :v like, hey, i can give u a quick recipe for chicken hearts and chicken muscular stomach if u find any (make sure u remove the yellow skin off the latter, it should come off pretty clean it u just pull with your fingers). u can also cook liver like this with the mention that marrinating it in a bit of milk beforehand makes it more juicy. in a pan spin some thyme and garlic with a little bit of oil to cook a bit (a few seconds) add the hearts/muscular stomacks/livers and cook them till they whiten all over, then add some boiling water to almost top. put the lid on, let them cook for ab 10 mins on low, then remove the lid and let the water evaporate a few more mins. enjoy with sour cream or fresh garlic sauce (crush garlic with salt and thyme, mix with water or sour cream to taste) and rice. congratulations, you can now cook some organs ;)
When I was a student in Japan my host mom would make onion soup for breakfast, a small portioned lunch (after a while I found myself not eating all of my portion) and for dinner my host mom would make a “regular sized” meal but made it from scratch.
Exactly... so many people in the comments are claiming it has to do with government intervention or some crap, but in reality they have the same preserved bull crap that the US does. Difference is that they still value home cooking and pass that skill to their children. In the US, I'd argue that most families from the previous generation were already lacking that skill/desire to home cook from scratch, and had nothing to truly pass on to their kids to begin with. Huge culture difference.
well of course there is junkfood but it's mostly "healthy" like seaweed chips and for example milkshakes are often made of non dairy milk without added sugar. Also the portion sizes are much smaller so even if you buy a bag of cookies they are comparatively made of only necessary ingredients (no added sugar, fats,...) and the bag is much smaller. In addition to that it's much more expensive so you would more likely eat a full meal. And the rest is as you said moderation.
Wow! I have never seen a very thorough explanation and educational video like this about food and health. This is very informative. You are an inspiration.
I went to the US this summer and ate hamburgers and potatoes that seemed to be a normal size in the US. Then, not only on that day, but also on the next day, my stomach was leaning and I was not hungry. As a result I was thin and returned to Japan😂
Japan has much more variety of food and they taste better. Each seasons bring wide variety of fruits, vegges and sea food which encourage Japanese to eat fresh products regularly and most of Japanese mothers cook well. These are the points that you did not mention in this video. Americans has much simpler diets, and most of them are factory made and seasoned only with salt, sugar, pepper and MSG.
Totally agree with your points. Japanese people like fresh food and variety. I don't think most would settle for the processed crap in the States on a regular basis.
I think it is just a culture thing. The US has most of these options available; they just aren't as cheap as the processed stuff. This generation (and arguably the last one too) in the US simply doesn't cook much. I personally rarely meet anyone who cooks more than 2 days a week for themselves (assuming they are single), and even when they do it is never from scratch. Most families I know will cook for their kids and such... but again, it is not from scratch. It is always involved a form of prepackaged/processed ingredients to shorten steps and make life easier. From what I understand, people in Japan have still maintained the skill of cooking and continue to pass that skill to their children. It is rare to see that happen in the US now days.
@@someone-ji2zb this is something really confusing to me, that many people say processed food is cheaper... I'm in Canada, not US, but I still find that cooking daily and buying fresh produce is way cheaper then buying packaged goods. I also bring my own cooked lunch to work (or classes) and find it more affordable than take outs. In this way, I found South and Eastern Europe more similar to Japan than NA, since my parents and my friends' parents have always cooked daily as well and many of us here continue doing same thing.
I would also be curious to see how much of an impact companies like Monsanto have in Japan. How prevalent are herbicides, pesticides and GMO's in Japan?
I’m from the US and I’ve been to Japan twice and never left a place I ate at hungry. I’ve felt the portions to be actually bigger than I thought they were going to be.
The US has INSANE portions. You won't believe it until you see it for yourself. I was shocked when I visited. I mean just look at their soda sizes. A big soda here at my place is considered medium there.
Over quarantine I've started cooking a lot more and I loooove asian cuisine. I've been making really healthy stir fries (napa cabbage and baby bok choy are vegetables that are now a staple in my cooking) and ramen soups (I use udon instead of ramen though). I feel very lucky that my partner will eat anything I cook and he loves healthy, tasty food as much as I. ^_^
Don't know how I ended up here, but I am glad I did. Thank you for the research, and mainly for including references to articles and sources, it is a small detail that means a lot to anyone who looks for reliable sources of information. Keep up the great work!
You serious? Do they drink a lot of green tea, or is that a stereotype. I heard the people in Tokyo, especially the younger people, are eating fast food and things like McDonald's. What's going on there?
@@Ken-iu2zp tokyo is the most visited part of Japan so they add more fast food for foreigners since that’s what Americans are accustomed to . go to parts of Japan that most foreigners don’t visit , and you will have more trouble finding people who eat junk, regardless of age.
There is a very important thing that i've noticed about those meals. There is a significant variety of different food types, each is separate. I guess variety makes a difference.
Great video with great information. Im from South America, Peru and I grew up eating fresh organic food bought from the market daily. Lots of organ meats, seafood, fish, lamb and lots of fresh vegetables and fruits. Today, living in North America, there is way too much fast fry food, junk food, hormones in the meat, pesticides in the vegetables and fruit. Everything has been altered and not healthy. Unfortunately, people has been conditioned to this life style and the consequences are so horrid. It is time to wake up and take more seriously our nutrition and more important, teach children to eat healthy. They are our future. Blessings and be safe. BTW, I lost my mother on 2018, she was 98 yrs old and had no illnesses. Her body just gave up. Thought to share this to let you know if you eat healthy you can live longer.
It's really similar to what italian diet was. Lately big american companies (mcdonalds, burger king, kfc, dominos...) are becoming more and more common among people and it's affecting the new generation a lot, because they are super affordable and students can consume food there without spending too much. In my family we go to those places even less than once a month, since we have time to cook and prefer going out for an authentic italian pizza rather than a burger. But my classmates always go there when they want to hang out, so like once a week or even more. Plus meat is becoming more and more accessible, especially red and processed meats, so our obesity rate is growing. The original mediterranean diet, the one that my grandparents and my parents (when they were young) ate, based on whole carbs, legumes, veggies, fruit, fish, olive oil and unsaturated fats, nuts and seeds. Limited amounts of dairy (3-4 times a week), 2-0 portions of meat a week and limited amounts of sweets. My grandpa is 88 and my grandma is 79. None of them with dementia. Only my grandpa has diabetes, but because he used to have a sweet tooth and added a lot of sugar in milk and coffee. They used to raise their own animals and eat those, and they had their own produce. We should go back to these times
I sleep at 10 PM and wake up at 6 AM. Thereafter, I walk for 1 hour daily empty stomach enjoying sunrise. I only eat twice a day and nothing in between. My diet includes all vegetarian foods and fruits except boiled eggs(White). I eat dry fruits as well within meal times. I am free from the following: 1. Caffeine - No tea/coffee 2. Foods having added sugar 3. Fast/Junk food 3. Alcoholic drinks 4. Smoking All my medical reports are 100% perfect and I love being fit and healthy 🤩😍
It's from Logan Paul's video, he's visiting japan and uttering the phrase "they're all about that respect" as he goes on to disrespect japanese people in public.
Not all Japanese people are with traditional diet though, I think the key is less intakes for fizzy drinks and fast foods. We enjoy them as a treat not on regular bases. We consume sweets everyday but we are told by parents to eat them with non-sugary drinks = tea.
"portions in japan are typically smaller" *stares in starving myself because society thinks my fatness is for a lack of trying* I'm sorry but those example meals are huge.
A few reasons why Japan is healthy... 1. *They don't put a shitload of sugar in everything.* 2. *They don't overeat.* 3. *They don't fill everything with chemicals.* 4. *They don't ostracize you for eating healthy.*
Unfamiliarity is one reason Japanese food looks tasty. The same way a Cuban refugee running into an American grocery store is in awe of the fully stocked shelves, the typical American that doesn't eat Asian food much is amazed at the variety and health of Asian food.
I remember when I was in six grade I brought my bento to school. (I was in America at the time) As I was eating my bento, I looked at the other kids who were eating the school food as if it was a normal. Now when you look at Americas school lunches, you think of pig slop, before it becomes the slop. It is not very pleasing... But when I visited Japan for the first time, (one year) I saw the food they served in the school and it looked like something I could have made at home. Like homemade dumplings. What I'm saying, America can learn a thing or too from Japan. Canada too, (Where I currently live). I just needed to get that off my chest.
@MarktheSpark I promise, from living and going to school in the United States for a while, you see kids treat other snot-nosed popular kids like they are some kind of deity of worship. "Let me change the name brand I wear, overpriced shoe model name, the songs I listen to, the celebrities I worship, the shows I watch, the games I play, the very vernacular of speech I have must be modulated to sound differently, ..."ーin effort to mold themselves to those other kids. It's funny how Americans tout freedom, yet the hive-mind mentality is so effortlessly rampant. (P.S. - sorry for the monologue)
MarktheSpark I agree with what you said until you said Kobe. Don't compare or list Kobe in the same sentence as the Kardashians. But I do strongly agree with what you said. I wasn't born in America but I moved here, many people are ignorant. Majority of people in the schools that I have gone to in America are ignorant and racist, never really experienced that in Europe.
Generally something fresh and without much added conservative for long storage. Like vegtables that are not frozen, meat from the butcher and a lot of variety of products like fermented stuff(unsugard yoghurt etc.).
I was in shock when I visited a restaurant with such small portions and that was pretty much a meal, their diet is amazing, fish , veggies, soups, loads of tea
I used to live in Japan and certainly agree with this, I lost weight there walking a lot more on my commute, although being from the UK the portions were bigger in Japan, but the food was healthier unless you get a salad or something
@@Valour-qh9ie Im saying the portions are massive in Japan and full of carbs like rice and noodles, I could never finish my food there and always wasted like half. They also lacked healthy salad bars like Pret, Freshii etc in the UK, everything was based around carbs there which I did not like as I hate eating carbs
This is why I refuse to eat American fast food unless I absolutely have no other choice due to traveling or whatnot. Too much fluffy nonsense in your diet, you gain weight. We eat way too much meat in the US, not pairing it with enough veggies and complex carbs.
great video, i know this is old but if you ever do another one like this, maybe do compare sizes on the food, for people that never ben to japan and see all that food for a lunch just the looks of it seems a lot more than average american lunch. compare sizes would help a ton :D
One of my McDonald's experiences in US. The American lined up in front of me was ordering a Big Mack meal. When the clerk asked him for the size, he answered without hesitation, Large. After that, they asked him would you like something to drink? He was thinking for a long time and finally answered, "Diet Coke".
Here in Australia, I'm trying to eat more healthy. Unfortunately my mum lost much of her malaysian cuisine moving here, which is a shame because he village food i feel can be as healthy as what is shown in this video. Once I can afford to move out, I feel I can start to make that change, but in the mean time, I'm gonna need to try make my mum nostalgic...
Japanese WOMEN are healthy and they are at least twice as health as Japanese men. For example, while the smoking rate for men is 55%, it is only 10% for women, so it skews the averages to look something like 33%. The life expectancy of women in Japan is about 10+ years longer than it is for men, so that also skews the statistics. Japanese men have a higher mortality from cancer, heart disease, and even suicide. Thank Japanese women who have much better lifestyles and much less stressful lives because it is the Japanese women that give Japan an overall image of health and longevity.
Obesity percentage 15% at 1980, 37% at 2011 in USA. Daily intake calorie around 3000 at 1980, 3700 at 2011. So people in USA looks intaking too much calorie than before.
yeah but you Indians hardly eat any vegetables, and if you do then its pulverized in curry or curry powder making the beneficial fibers useless. That's why I see so many obese Indians... Vietnam and Japan have the healthiest diets
When I went to Japan with my parents I quickly noticed that there a lot of walking and by the end of the trip I lost so much weight form all the walking but I recently gain back the weight
it is incredible how everything is connected, for exemple eating healthy will not just affect your weight like a lot of people think, it will affect your ENTIRE being.
definitely, I have undervalued the importance of food all my life is crazy what your food does to your being, something so normal to everybody as eating can really change you entirely in a little amount of time
I understand the fish part. If we compare the geography, prefectures in Japan are typically surrounded by the sea. Whereas in America, many states are not close to the sea. Therefore, seafood would be less accessible.
“People in Japan eat a lot more food, rather than food-like products.” This might be a quote worth saving for the future.

But I love getting fries, hamburgers, and milk everyday.

Me: ?.?
Anna M. I have no clue but I feel like if I ate an american portion of food I would be full for at least 3 days
It really depends on where ur getting the food from. Some places give a gargantuan load and some places give normal portions.
Bruh, depending on the food I probably couldn't even finish some of the stuff
AWpicLegend That is true but just makes me wonder what the usual portion for the average people is in each place
I went to Japan last year and ate in a resto. I ordered chicken karaage and I thought it has a small portion but I was surprised that I didn't finish everything. My stomach got full quickly.

best you can do is say you prefer to eat healthy when you can because its tastier
The food the Japanese eat look so much more delicious than something one could buy in any other store😋
Yeah, munchy.

Ayeetsha you’re welcome for me not liking the comment
@@drawn6927 woah man thanks!
after being on a strict diet (very strict), my tastes changes a lot. The candy i used to eat, can’t even look at it. It grosses me out thinking how sweet it is etc. Im glad i’m able to see how unhealthy stuff is.
True! Some unhealty food is just too sweet to be eaten.
Same
@@mxya707 what? If you can't find healthy food enjoyable you have a serious issue
Same here. It gets out of habit
true, it is all a matter of what you are used to. i used to drink a lot of soda as a teen but i dont really like it anymore after getting used to only drinking unsugared tea and water, its just too sweet for me now.
Quick real quick facts:
America - Processed food
Asia - Real food
No, only Japanese in Asia eats real food. Actually Japan is kind of unique. Healthy food are a lot cheaper than most of Asia. Like fish, meat, egg, yogurt, veggies... Normally at least two times cheaper sometimes up to five.
Most of the places in Asia eats unhealthy, where I grow up child obesity rate is higher than the US on stats. Reason that Asian aren't that fat right now is because they were poor and the food industry isn't that advanced.
People used to eat brown rice and sweet potato, nowadays it is considered food for caveman.
Asia is basically 50 years behind western society.
scrappy coco Seriously? My family eats brown and black rice. It’s expensive that’s why people can’t afford it. White bleached GMO rice is cheaper which the poor eat and they could be thin or obese. But in my country, the middle class is growing and people are spending way too much of it on fast food. I live in Philippines by the way.
@@JosephDeLosSantos-t3m
Brown rice and white rice can both be GMO or not GMO. White rice need to be peeled so it should be more expensive.
And is there any white bleached rice ? My family used to own a rice processing factory and after peeling the brown rice becomes white rice.
Well, you have a healthy family. Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand etc (sorry haven't been to Philippine), there's no brown rice in restaurant or take out.
I'm in Taiwan now ( traveling most of the time ).
Not in the country I lived in Asia. There is so much processed food here in metro city. I live side by side with preserve substance. Everything is instant produced not through the process
Dennis Vu Not true. Japan yes, rest of Asia has a lot of horrible processed food cheap and readily availBle.
What I also noticed when out in Asia is that they generally price their healthy options way cheaper than in Europe. In the UK for example eating healthily is really expensive.
fairydust yeah true
Thats how it should be
In Canada, salads are very expensive especially in fast food places, and are often made with iceburg lettuce 😣
Plus, home cooked food adds into the healthiness factor, when I grew up fast food was rare compared to the home cooked food I'd normally receive. Though, I also have a high metabolism so that adds to it.
I honestly wish healthy foods weren't priced higher in America, it sucks even for the Asian style restaurants here, they are not true Asian food most of the time: for example, Japanese people call American sushi as a _California Roll_ because it doesn't taste like Japanese sushi, many don't think of it as sushi.
Yeah they make healthy food (non processed) more expensive, so they can profit on the unhealthy food. So fucked up!
what frustrates me is that in america, real food is more expensive than food-like "food". why is that? is it because the food-like products are cheaper to make? genuinely curious
Government agricultural subsidies usually go to corn, making it more profitable for farmers to grow corn, and cheaper for mega corporations to buy corn and make corn products. It can then be sold very cheaply. Same goes for wheat and I think Soy. This is why so much food-like things are made from wheat, contain high fructose corn syrup, and if there's an added oil it's soy oil
from my point of view is a little bit simpler, food that is 10% food and 90% crap is cheaper than food that is 100% food
At this point just start your own little kitchen garden.
a lot of veggies are actually cheaper in the states
Pre made frozen foods in a box are definitely more expensive than things like rice , beans, ground beef , chicken , pork , fish , pasta , fruits and veggies , etc etc. Seems to be kind of a myth that they're not -- it's crazy expensive to eat nothing but things like pizza rolls , frozen burritos, frozen meals and pop tarts.
"Real food " only becomes extremely expensive when it's organic versions , grass fed meats , vegetarian meat substitutes, etc.
Some people feel these things are necessary to be truly healthy, but they're really not
8:43 Hold up, other schools ACTUALLY COOK the lunch food!?
Yeah, I'm pretty sure most asian countries do.
We use to in America... Remember thr lunch lady.
I think in most Europe, too (I’m from small Estonia and here schools cook very rich and healthy meals).
Here in Australia, we pack our own kids lunches every single day.
in my school all the economy classes cook once a week so the food is done by us or atleast us who are doing economy its not always tasty but its not unhealthy
The United States desperately needs a school meal overhaul
Michelle Obama tried that and made it worse
That's just un-american.
The U.S. government lied when they made the food pyramid to save money on the amount of food stamps they give. The scientist they hired even told the government it would make people diabetic, and the government did not care. They cared more about spending less money.
@@alicedenise5722 it’s always about money. The bigger people don’t care about us.
Yeah man the only edible things at my school were the things they didnt make. Everyone looked forward to a chicken nugget day and LOATHED the shitty "homeade" meals. They were so hung up on making them healthy the meals became unedible. I swear this one time they gave us mushy pasta with white sauce "alfredo" and it literally had more resemblance to semen than any food ive ever seen. Not even to mention the fruits and vegetables they gave us! People ask why so much fruit gets thrown away when everything tasted like styrofoam (and i suspect had the nutritional value of it too). The restrictions on portion size wouldnt even let kids take extra vegetables.
I lost 6 kilos in my 14 days stay in Japan. I loved it! I walked everyday, and that is why I still lost weight considering that I was there to try almost every food. I miss eat! I would consider retiring in Japan.
I'm from Spain, and I eat a pescatarian, mostly vegetarian Mediterranean diet. I've been on exchange to Canada for a year and I couldn't agree more. People don't eat food here! It's so weird. They're so unhealthy, everything is packaged or fried, and people don't know how to cook. It's been really hard on my health, but I've lost weight by basically not eating because I find everything disgusting lmao. Also, I live on University campus and don't have kitchen access, so I have to eat at the cafeteria every day and it's horrible, there is no fish, barely any vegetables and legumes are nowhere to be seen, I get by by eating mostly soup
Then shop for food?
Then go back to your own country and stop complaining about lifestyle in other countries
@@carolinathevampireprincess she doesn't have kitchen access..
I wonder where you are in Canada. There's a ton of healthy places to eat (a lot with fish too!).

I've lived in Japan for almost 13 years now and I approve this message^^
How is life in Japan?
In which part? Tokyo?
Honestly, the Japanese food presentation is an art in itself. With the food served up and looking so delicious, I would likely eat it first then ask what it was after just based on the appearance.
Are you re...tarded?
I was in Japan once, only for two days but it was a fantastic experience. The people were friendly, the city was remarkably clean and had many parks and gardens, the vending machines were plentiful and even though there were almost never any trash cans near the machines there was also no strewn around bottles and cans everywhere because people have respect and patience. I saw small children that looked no more than 6 years old taking the subway by themselves with no issues because the crime rates even in the city seem surprisingly low. I would definitely like to go back some day but give myself an actual week or more to explore the country proper.
many parks and gardens?? what city was that?
I would visit......but I’m black so.....don’t think it’d be fun being stared at like a side show. Not saying they’re necessarily racist, but just don’t see black people often there so from what I’ve seen they seen almost amazed when they see one in person.
nah i was there for a week and I think Japanese people are polite enough to know not to do things like that, and trust me its an extremely fun experience
Your comment made me laugh thinking about the first time I visited my Caucasian friend in her remote hometown. Wherever we went, people were staring at me...first, I felt uncomfortable, then, I got used to the stares and later I even felt a little like a celebrity that day! It's their first time seeing an Asian! hahaha
When I visited Japan a few years back, I went with a group tour and there was one African American family. Wherever we went, people would stare at the father, not the whole family just the father, we later found out that the Japanese people (mostly women) who stared at him told our guide that the father looked like Denzel Washington! needless to say that for the rest of the tour that day, he couldn't stop smiling...hehehe
So, my suggestion to you is don't let that little thing prevent you from visiting one of the nicest and most beautiful countries in the world! Have a safe trip there and enjoy! ^_^
I know people at 60 who would not take the subway in the U.S>
I feel like a major reason for Japan making the top 50 cancer rate list i simply because they don't die of other causes such as heart disease which leads to them living longer and eventually getting cancer.
It's due to high carbohydrate intake. Cancer thrives off of sugar and carbs.
I don't believe the Japanese eat more carbs than other nations on that list though.
@Ethan Noel Where are you getting your information? If cancer thrives off sugar and carbs Japan should be in the top 10 because carbs are served at almost every meal. The US is number 5 compared to Japan at number 43.
I'm quite sure carbs are served at pretty much every meal in every country there is lol. In western countries it's bread, potato, rice, sweet potato, oats and what have you. The Japanese eat more rice but potato for example is less common. I bet Americans eat more carbs than the Japanese do because they eat more calories in general.
Another HUGE cause for the cancer rate is the high intake of fermented foods. While fermented foods are very beneficial to the body's microflora and microbacteria in the gi tract, it can also lead to damage within the gi tract itself. This damage often leads to cancer. I guess its a win lose scenario.
In some part of Asia, being slim doesn't mean the person is healthy. Sometimes those people does not have enough food to eat.
That's not the point of the video though. He's talking about Japan, which isn't the whole of Asia.
@TomG Gabin It's more likely than not that if the person looks skinny they are most likely not obese, so it's a pretty pointless point to make.

In my experience and from what I hear from others, being fit is mostly about diet. Exercise is important of course, but if you don't eat too many calories to begin with, then you don't have so many that you need to burn off ...
100% true! Just going for walks and eating less is enough to get in decent shape.
I burn 1400 calories a day at work so I have to eat a lot of extra calories so I think it also depends on what you do for a living.

I live in Namba, Osaka, and when I go to Sushiro and Kura Sushi, which are conveyor-belt sushi restaurants, there are many foreign customers and they are very popular. A plate of fresh sushi can be had for only one dollar, and there is no need to tip. The Japanese are having a hard time because of the weak yen, but for foreigners, it's heaven.
This is becoming one of my new favorite channels. You present info very well, and I learn something while enjoying it from start to finish. Great videos!
im deadass a vegetarian and I sat here, watched a video mostly about meat, went “I should eat some of that if it helps improve skin elasticity,” remembered I was a vegetarian,
Now I don’t know what to eat,
Soya contains all the amino acids that you need, also include beans, maybe (real) cheese eggs and « levure maltée » and you will be fine
The amount of effort put in this video and research done is mind-blowing! ❤️
Dont forget that they eat a lot of veggies, feeding their microbiomes that helps their stomach mucous lining thick.
Veggies don't "line your stomach", acid does. Veges actually take a long time to digest, they have to putrify in the large intestine where the microbiomes break them down. The stomach lining has a very acid pH, it is designed to kill invading microbiomes and is designed to digest meat, which is faster to digest.
I love the line “Japan seems to eat more FOOD instead of food-like-products”. So true.
They keys to health are: gut bacteria, real food, reasonable portions, and positive mindset. If your gut bacteria are less than optimal, there is a way to resolve it, fecal transplantation. Real food is hard. Reasonable portions are discipline. Positive mindset is hard as well and takes time, but is possible.

I find your discussion of the consumption of organ meats and cartilage, from 6:00 to 8:00, to be fascinating. Personally, whenever I eat chicken, I love to chomp on the ligaments and suck on the bone marrow! 😋 As a U.S. citizen, I've always wondered why organ meats are rarely consumed in my country. Could you please do a video on this topic in the future?
That's it. I'm moving to Japan. My gut and brain jumped in joy when I made the decision!
Cesarin what about Earthquakes and Radiation from Radioactive Elements?
And low-key xenophobia.
And having to learn moonspeak, and getting a visa and a job there. Only to eventually realize Japan has it's own issues and you could have been healthy and happy staying where you were. But I guess life is about the journey, so enjoy.
Japanese people won't have you there.
or you could just eat pickles and learn how to cook organs and other foods.. youtube is full of cooking tuts on everything :v
like, hey, i can give u a quick recipe for chicken hearts and chicken muscular stomach if u find any (make sure u remove the yellow skin off the latter, it should come off pretty clean it u just pull with your fingers). u can also cook liver like this with the mention that marrinating it in a bit of milk beforehand makes it more juicy.
in a pan spin some thyme and garlic with a little bit of oil to cook a bit (a few seconds) add the hearts/muscular stomacks/livers and cook them till they whiten all over, then add some boiling water to almost top. put the lid on, let them cook for ab 10 mins on low, then remove the lid and let the water evaporate a few more mins.
enjoy with sour cream or fresh garlic sauce (crush garlic with salt and thyme, mix with water or sour cream to taste) and rice.
congratulations, you can now cook some organs ;)
When I was a student in Japan my host mom would make onion soup for breakfast, a small portioned lunch (after a while I found myself not eating all of my portion) and for dinner my host mom would make a “regular sized” meal but made it from scratch.
There is alot of junk food in Japan though. I believe a factor for their longevity is moderation.
Exactly... so many people in the comments are claiming it has to do with government intervention or some crap, but in reality they have the same preserved bull crap that the US does. Difference is that they still value home cooking and pass that skill to their children.
In the US, I'd argue that most families from the previous generation were already lacking that skill/desire to home cook from scratch, and had nothing to truly pass on to their kids to begin with. Huge culture difference.
Different type of junk food.
well of course there is junkfood but it's mostly "healthy" like seaweed chips and for example milkshakes are often made of non dairy milk without added sugar. Also the portion sizes are much smaller so even if you buy a bag of cookies they are comparatively made of only necessary ingredients (no added sugar, fats,...) and the bag is much smaller. In addition to that it's much more expensive so you would more likely eat a full meal. And the rest is as you said moderation.
They eat more fish. Fish is rich of nutrient. Most people in the west especially whites don't eat fish.
Fried insect, raw fish, frogs legs maybe its because they eat a really varied diet but I couldnt eat a lot of these things they do.
Wow! I have never seen a very thorough explanation and educational video like this about food and health. This is very informative. You are an inspiration.
I went to the US this summer and ate hamburgers and potatoes that seemed to be a normal size in the US.
Then, not only on that day, but also on the next day, my stomach was leaning and I was not hungry.
As a result I was thin and returned to Japan😂
Japan has much more variety of food and they taste better. Each seasons bring wide variety of fruits, vegges and sea food which encourage Japanese to eat fresh products regularly and most of Japanese mothers cook well. These are the points that you did not mention in this video. Americans has much simpler diets, and most of them are factory made and seasoned only with salt, sugar, pepper and MSG.
Good points!
Totally agree with your points. Japanese people like fresh food and variety. I don't think most would settle for the processed crap in the States on a regular basis.
I think it is just a culture thing. The US has most of these options available; they just aren't as cheap as the processed stuff.
This generation (and arguably the last one too) in the US simply doesn't cook much. I personally rarely meet anyone who cooks more than 2 days a week for themselves (assuming they are single), and even when they do it is never from scratch. Most families I know will cook for their kids and such... but again, it is not from scratch. It is always involved a form of prepackaged/processed ingredients to shorten steps and make life easier.
From what I understand, people in Japan have still maintained the skill of cooking and continue to pass that skill to their children. It is rare to see that happen in the US now days.
@@someone-ji2zb this is something really confusing to me, that many people say processed food is cheaper... I'm in Canada, not US, but I still find that cooking daily and buying fresh produce is way cheaper then buying packaged goods. I also bring my own cooked lunch to work (or classes) and find it more affordable than take outs.
In this way, I found South and Eastern Europe more similar to Japan than NA, since my parents and my friends' parents have always cooked daily as well and many of us here continue doing same thing.
Japan eats more food; instead of food-like products
Well said!
I would also be curious to see how much of an impact companies like Monsanto have in Japan. How prevalent are herbicides, pesticides and GMO's in Japan?
I never thought of Japanese portions beeing small, but on the other hand i've also never been to the US :P
Im in the US and tbh i never thought of it either lol, they seem even a bit big for me X3
they look big to me too!
I’m from the US and I’ve been to Japan twice and never left a place I ate at hungry. I’ve felt the portions to be actually bigger than I thought they were going to be.
@@dwaynerua6532 Real food makes you feel full faster and for much longer than processed food, so maybe that's why.
The US has INSANE portions. You won't believe it until you see it for yourself. I was shocked when I visited.
I mean just look at their soda sizes. A big soda here at my place is considered medium there.
Over quarantine I've started cooking a lot more and I loooove asian cuisine. I've been making really healthy stir fries (napa cabbage and baby bok choy are vegetables that are now a staple in my cooking) and ramen soups (I use udon instead of ramen though). I feel very lucky that my partner will eat anything I cook and he loves healthy, tasty food as much as I. ^_^

There is a very important thing that i've noticed about those meals. There is a significant variety of different food types, each is separate. I guess variety makes a difference.
Great video with great information. Im from South America, Peru and I grew up eating fresh organic food bought from the market daily. Lots of organ meats, seafood, fish, lamb and lots of fresh vegetables and fruits. Today, living in North America, there is way too much fast fry food, junk food, hormones in the meat, pesticides in the vegetables and fruit. Everything has been altered and not healthy. Unfortunately, people has been conditioned to this life style and the consequences are so horrid. It is time to wake up and take more seriously our nutrition and more important, teach children to eat healthy. They are our future. Blessings and be safe. BTW, I lost my mother on 2018, she was 98 yrs old and had no illnesses. Her body just gave up. Thought to share this to let you know if you eat healthy you can live longer.
This is one of the best channels on RUclips
It's really similar to what italian diet was. Lately big american companies (mcdonalds, burger king, kfc, dominos...) are becoming more and more common among people and it's affecting the new generation a lot, because they are super affordable and students can consume food there without spending too much. In my family we go to those places even less than once a month, since we have time to cook and prefer going out for an authentic italian pizza rather than a burger. But my classmates always go there when they want to hang out, so like once a week or even more.
Plus meat is becoming more and more accessible, especially red and processed meats, so our obesity rate is growing.
The original mediterranean diet, the one that my grandparents and my parents (when they were young) ate, based on whole carbs, legumes, veggies, fruit, fish, olive oil and unsaturated fats, nuts and seeds. Limited amounts of dairy (3-4 times a week), 2-0 portions of meat a week and limited amounts of sweets. My grandpa is 88 and my grandma is 79. None of them with dementia. Only my grandpa has diabetes, but because he used to have a sweet tooth and added a lot of sugar in milk and coffee. They used to raise their own animals and eat those, and they had their own produce.
We should go back to these times
I sleep at 10 PM and wake up at 6 AM. Thereafter, I walk for 1 hour daily empty stomach enjoying sunrise. I only eat twice a day and nothing in between. My diet includes all vegetarian foods and fruits except boiled eggs(White). I eat dry fruits as well within meal times. I am free from the following:
1. Caffeine - No tea/coffee
2. Foods having added sugar
3. Fast/Junk food
3. Alcoholic drinks
4. Smoking

Narrator: People eat healthy stuff in Japan
Also narrator: 1:53 shows a bowl of Tendon and deep frying Kushikatsu
Not all Japanese people are with traditional diet though, I think the key is less intakes for fizzy drinks and fast foods. We enjoy them as a treat not on regular bases. We consume sweets everyday but we are told by parents to eat them with non-sugary drinks = tea.
"portions in japan are typically smaller" *stares in starving myself because society thinks my fatness is for a lack of trying* I'm sorry but those example meals are huge.

No fry food.
A few reasons why Japan is healthy...
1. *They don't put a shitload of sugar in everything.*
2. *They don't overeat.*
3. *They don't fill everything with chemicals.*
4. *They don't ostracize you for eating healthy.*
Unfamiliarity is one reason Japanese food looks tasty. The same way a Cuban refugee running into an American grocery store is in awe of the fully stocked shelves, the typical American that doesn't eat Asian food much is amazed at the variety and health of Asian food.
Easy. There's no food lobbying on the government level.
I remember when I was in six grade I brought my bento to school. (I was in America at the time) As I was eating my bento, I looked at the other kids who were eating the school food as if it was a normal. Now when you look at Americas school lunches, you think of pig slop, before it becomes the slop. It is not very pleasing... But when I visited Japan for the first time, (one year) I saw the food they served in the school and it looked like something I could have made at home. Like homemade dumplings. What I'm saying, America can learn a thing or too from Japan. Canada too, (Where I currently live). I just needed to get that off my chest.
Ah so those Australian hotdogs are not to your liking.
Peer pressure is deadly in the United States.
@MarktheSpark
I promise, from living and going to school in the United States for a while, you see kids treat other snot-nosed popular kids like they are some kind of deity of worship.
"Let me change the name brand I wear, overpriced shoe model name, the songs I listen to, the celebrities I worship, the shows I watch, the games I play, the very vernacular of speech I have must be modulated to sound differently, ..."ーin effort to mold themselves to those other kids. It's funny how Americans tout freedom, yet the hive-mind mentality is so effortlessly rampant.
(P.S. - sorry for the monologue)
MarktheSpark I agree with what you said until you said Kobe. Don't compare or list Kobe in the same sentence as the Kardashians. But I do strongly agree with what you said. I wasn't born in America but I moved here, many people are ignorant. Majority of people in the schools that I have gone to in America are ignorant and racist, never really experienced that in Europe.
Finland has healthy school food
Just tell us exactly what to eat, bro.

Generally something fresh and without much added conservative for long storage. Like vegtables that are not frozen, meat from the butcher and a lot of variety of products like fermented stuff(unsugard yoghurt etc.).
He does lol
Since when are corn and soy food-like products? Tofu, natto, soy sauce, edamame, miso...they are all healthy soy based food.
As little processed food as possible
I was in shock when I visited a restaurant with such small portions and that was pretty much a meal, their diet is amazing, fish , veggies, soups, loads of tea
I used to live in Japan and certainly agree with this, I lost weight there walking a lot more on my commute, although being from the UK the portions were bigger in Japan, but the food was healthier unless you get a salad or something
True, portion sizes in the UK are small but purely for profit purposes.
Are you saying that in uk foods intake is less japan .
@@Valour-qh9ie Im saying the portions are massive in Japan and full of carbs like rice and noodles, I could never finish my food there and always wasted like half. They also lacked healthy salad bars like Pret, Freshii etc in the UK, everything was based around carbs there which I did not like as I hate eating carbs
@@lavayuki if Japan is full of carbs then how japanese are so thin. What's your opinion about it?
@@Valour-qh9ie Japanese people are different from Western people.
We japanese never add to suger in green tea.
This is why I refuse to eat American fast food unless I absolutely have no other choice due to traveling or whatnot. Too much fluffy nonsense in your diet, you gain weight. We eat way too much meat in the US, not pairing it with enough veggies and complex carbs.
great video, i know this is old but if you ever do another one like this, maybe do compare sizes on the food, for people that never ben to japan and see all that food for a lunch just the looks of it seems a lot more than average american lunch.
compare sizes would help a ton :D
Their eating habits were also affected when they were in isolation during the Tokugawa period (Edo period)
One of my McDonald's experiences in US. The American lined up in front of me was ordering a Big Mack meal. When the clerk asked him for the size, he answered without hesitation, Large. After that, they asked him would you like something to drink? He was thinking for a long time and finally answered, "Diet Coke".
Here in Australia, I'm trying to eat more healthy. Unfortunately my mum lost much of her malaysian cuisine moving here, which is a shame because he village food i feel can be as healthy as what is shown in this video. Once I can afford to move out, I feel I can start to make that change, but in the mean time, I'm gonna need to try make my mum nostalgic...
Hello, wow your mom from Malaysia? Which part of Malaysia is she from?
Japanese WOMEN are healthy and they are at least twice as health as Japanese men. For example, while the smoking rate for men is 55%, it is only 10% for women, so it skews the averages to look something like 33%. The life expectancy of women in Japan is about 10+ years longer than it is for men, so that also skews the statistics. Japanese men have a higher mortality from cancer, heart disease, and even suicide. Thank Japanese women who have much better lifestyles and much less stressful lives because it is the Japanese women that give Japan an overall image of health and longevity.
Obesity percentage 15% at 1980, 37% at 2011 in USA. Daily intake calorie around 3000 at 1980, 3700 at 2011. So people in USA looks intaking too much calorie than before.
we Indians do the same too . just essential meat requirement is always missing from the diet , especially fish .
Exactly! I like fish but it is expensive in New Delhi
@@samajlo4336 becoz new delhi eats fishes exported from other coastal cities....maybe
yeah but you Indians hardly eat any vegetables, and if you do then its pulverized in curry or curry powder making the beneficial fibers useless. That's why I see so many obese Indians... Vietnam and Japan have the healthiest diets
Delhi belly . Yeah right lmaooo
I've seen many fat guys in india
When I went to Japan with my parents I quickly noticed that there a lot of walking and by the end of the trip I lost so much weight form all the walking but I recently gain back the weight
Even the food in the continent stores are very healthy in Japan!
a whole beef bowl for onñy 490 yen?? holy crud, where?????! (that's 4.39usd if you're curious)
This whole video just makes me want to live in Japan.
Man this is a real eye opener, great channel man
It's not the gluten itself, it's the glyphosate sprayed on GMO wheat.
it is incredible how everything is connected, for exemple eating healthy will not just affect your weight like a lot of people think, it will affect your ENTIRE being.
definitely, I have undervalued the importance of food all my life is crazy what your food does to your being, something so normal to everybody as eating can really change you entirely in a little amount of time
Would you consider doing video on dairy?
Radimkiller just know its unhealthy.
Radimkiller that would be very interesting actually!
"Would you consider doing video on dairy?" What you really mean is "would you please do a biased non-science based opinion video that disses dairy"
I understand the fish part. If we compare the geography, prefectures in Japan are typically surrounded by the sea. Whereas in America, many states are not close to the sea. Therefore, seafood would be less accessible.
I'd love to move to Japan just for the food sometimes. Maybe for a couple years would be cool.
"Food-like products."
Watching this video makes me even more proud to be Japanese
Oh cool which part of Japan you live?
はい、すごいでしょ
I want to be Japanese now:)
