    Bro has the courage to befriend this many people in 24 hours, and approach, and communicate- AND host a party?
    I commend him. I COULD NEVER.

      it's actually really easy I don't know why you guys make this so complicated. we are all humans. the most difficult part in Japan is to be able to speak japanese... and even without speaking i met and did a lot of new friends when i was there that made me want to learn japanese even more

      Well, because in Japan, most people who talk to strangers like this are either religious or scammers.
      No wonder they are suspicious.
      Besides, most of the foreigners in this video probably already knew him. He is somewhat well known to foreigners, but totally unknown to the Japanese.

    As a half Japanese myself, in regards to making friends with Japanese people, I think the reason you kept getting rejected is due to your initial approach. Your first line, "do you want to be my friend!?" can seem too abrupt, without any context explaining Why you want to be friends. I think if you approach them casually, introducing yourself and that you're looking for more Japanese friends, and Then inviting them to your party, I feel you would've gotten more approvals.

    • @NO1xANIMExFAN

      Like the half Japanese girl said in the video, it all depends on the place you go. The places he went most people are on the move in their own mindset going about their work.

    I think, this type of content could be interesting if you hop cities all over Japan, bringing Japanese youth with foreigner together in their community. Follow up content after the party would be interesting as well.

    Would love to see you do a 2nd house party! Think it would be good to have a female friend accompany you as well, I think some women will find it sus when a guy wants to make friends with you and then invite you over to his place.
