I love how educational these videos are thanks, Sora, for embarrassing yourself on the internet so that, if I ever go to Japan, I won’t embarrass myself there
He is willing to perpetually lose face so we don't have to. And if that isn't the most noble sacrifice one can make for others, then I don't know what is.
You are literally the only youtuber that actually explains these things properly. Most people just say they are weird and that's that. I love your channel.
@@zulkifrisulaiman379 Japan deserves to get VERY Emotional about it, though not in a bad way. It WAS, IS And Will Always+Forever BE a VERY SPECIAL COUNTRY.
1, 2 and 3 makes sense to me, even if they'd be super awkward and embarrassing. 4 blows my mind though. People are regularly getting so drunk they're passing out in public?? That's...incredibly shocking!
This is actually pretty useful. I'm actually moving to Japan in less than a month, so knowing things like "awkward situation gesture" is pretty useful. Legitimately, thanks Sora.
I arrived in Tokyo at midnight at the start of this month, and one of the first things I saw was a random guy sleeping on the street lol My buddy asked me why I took a picture and said he might be dead 🤣 Didn't know it was a standard occurrence in Japan, but I'm glad to have encountered one
The Hadaka Matsuri was the most insane festival I've ever been a part of. It was February, and we were wearing fundashi. Plus add what seemed like a thousand guys crammed into temple grounds all going for a lucky object. Good times
This channel has become an educational vault on how not to become a corpse in Japan. The official "this is awkward" sign is a life saver. Keep this up, you Japanese educated American 😁
I love how your videos are more informative BECAUSE they are exaggerated and made to be comical. It makes the reality feel normal and approachable if people travel to Japan, because people have been informed in a humorous way. My sister lived in Japan for five years, and when I visited, it was nice to be able to make a good impression without feeling awkward, since I had someone to inform me. Being that person for all your viewers will hopefully improve people's own experiences, and encourage them to explore Japan for themselves without worrying about being cringe.
sora, as a non-japanese person, i'd find your content extremely educational :D because you're teaching an audience in a really goofy/cringy yet entertaining and funny way !! and honestly although you say that it isn't educational because you say really weird stuff, i'd call it "edutainment". it's very nice to watch these kinds of "YOU IDIOT !" videos because they cover misconceptions and give fun facts and advice abt japan while making them funny and entertaining in the process of watching. although u find ur videos cringe, you've found the right audience who enjoys and laughs watching your content because its unironically funny, and im a part of that audience :)))) just wanted to say that ^^
Japanese Love Hotel is equivalent to Brazilian Motel. Motel in Brazil it's usually on the road, cheap and you get there by car just like it's cousin in the US, but it's main purpose is the same of a Love Hotel. Curiously, in some critical situations; due to lack of money or options, people also use it as a normal and cheaper hotel.
Having just discovered this channel, I've been binge watching Sora's videos. Entertaining and educational, a great combination. Btw, it's interesting to read the comments on channels that show Japanese commercials. Many folks just assume that all Japanese commercials are the weird, creative ones that they see online. From my understanding, the majority are typical commercials similar to what gets shown in most countries. To me that makes the really great ones that more special. When something becomes the norm, it becomes less interesting and entertaining.
You actually explained Kanamara Matsuri festival pretty good in a few seconds, congratulations Sora your cringe level has decreased your becoming less and less cringe every video and becoming somewhat educational 👏👏👏
Keep them coming! I love to learn about Japan. By the way, there are love hotels in Brazil too. And sometimes people use them for parties. On the other hand, going zombie in my country would get you robbed or worse. I think that’s the same pretty much everywhere, except for Japan.
I have a half japanese friend, Now he lives in japan. I don't know why he doesn't like the Kanamara Matsuri festival, probably because of the "things". But i make sure to remember him every year about that.
From a different mindset, in Spain, if a person is laying unconscious in the street people go and try to help. They will ask you if you are ok, if you need help to go home o if you need them to call an ambulance to go to the free hospitals and medical centers we have. I have fallen in the street and hurt myself a lot of times and people come quickly to see if you are ok. One time I tripped over and hurted myself in the head, I was bleeding (I wasn't drunk and it was in the afternoon, I'm just clumsy). 4 or 5 people came fast, trying to help me, a boy was calling an ambulance and a girl even stayes with me all the time holding my hand and saying it will be ok. A guy from a hotel nearby brought me water. This is usual in Spain, people cares, and this really makes me feel safe. I will be sad and scared if I'm laying on the street and people pass by me ignoring or not caring.
When I stayed in a capsule hotel at Hiroshima for a few days, leaving the hotel at around 8am, there were zombies on the floor EVERY morning in the street! (It was clearly a nightlife neighboorhood with bars, soap lands and so on) It's strange at first, but you get use to it, and it's indeed a sign of Japan's safety. I can't imagine what would happen in Paris to people who would just pass out all alone on the street...
it's really funny to me that I know Sora livestreamed the love hotel with the pillow, has seen strange events that is perverted as fuck but actually interesting (found out via youtube homepage), etc. It's really interesting how Japan is very creative with weird stuff
Here in Denmark, I've also experienced that little girls enter the men's locker room, especially at swimming pools. It actually happens for both boys and girls, whenever their same-sex parent isn't present, because then the child would have to join the opposite-sex parent when they get changed. I think it's easiest to just act like the child isn't there. However, I have experienced that there was an older girl, probably around 7-9 years old. She seemed much more aware, and kept staring at me... now THAT was awkward. So I think it should only be acceptable if the kid is preschool age.
Well, would you send a 7-9 year old girl into the women's locker room by herself? Mature 9 year olds I could maybe see, but that's still pretty damn young. Tricky situation for all involved. I'm sure the parent in question doesn't feel super comfortable with it either.
I think these situations should generally be normal and not considered weird. But hey, I'm German. We're relaxed about seeing other people naked. You are all weird about it :P
Ive been the dad taking their daughter places, and sometimes other people are so awkward you and your child are asked to leave the changing room or toilets, because the mums get uncomfortable with a man taking his daughter into he girl changing room or toilet and then they also get uncomfortable when you take them into your male changing rooms or toilets instead. Man Britain is just weird about changing rooms and toilets
**Immediately opens a private browser session to look up "Kanamara Matsuri"** I don't know what I expected exactly, but that's tamer than I originally thought.
I think CdawgVA and Kaho Shibuya went to the shrine associated with that festival if I recall, or some similar kind of place. Connor had no idea what he was in for so it was pretty amusing.
Tbh Sora, in here Thailand in some area we also have a lot of drunken zombie sleeping at everywhere you could think of but the difference is IT HAPPENS EVERYDAY LOLOLL.
The love hotel sounds like a great concept. I would imagine it's a great option for a group of friends that wants to hang out and maybe watch a series or movie, play a board game, just chat, etc. Even if nobody has enough space available at home, or if they don't want to bother the other occupants of the home, they can still have the privacy and comfort you don't get at a public venue such as a bar.
I’d rather recommend the bigger rooms of karaoke for that kinda purposes since it could get louder. If you goes go to a love hotel with a group of guys, it would be too loud for other people.
@@iguoyrxayananikihs9505 Sound proofing… depends on the hotel. Being loud in a love hotel is okay. But with a group of drunk guys, thing’s could get escalated sometimes. Not everyone is being super loud in a love hotel. The primary use of a love hotel is for couples to have some private time. I promise you I have heard things that were not supposed be heard 😅
I like your videos. These are very useful especially since I wanna go to japan as a tourist, see sights and all. I don't wanna be yet another rude gaijin.
Some of those ones like the love hotel one and the onsen one really surprised me. The onsen one is completely understandable but took me by surprise. The love hotel is actually a crucial thing to know. I’ll remember that one.
I still can't believe that there is an actual festival in Japan to celebrate one's "manhood". I heard about it a few years ago, and I couldn't believe it then! That takes the trophy for strangest festival in the world, I think.
I would say be careful of love hotels that cost under 3000 yen because some of them can get pretty disgusting. Around 6000 yen, they're pretty much normal hotels.
I'm from Sweden and the first one can happen here too. I'm a lady though, and sometimes there's little boys in the ladies locker room with their moms. I don't really care since they're very young and obviously parent don't want to send them off alone to a locker room. But I do remember going swimming with my dad at the pool when I was like 5-6, and I REALLY didn't wanna go in the men's locker room. I only lived at my mom's place back then, so I wasn't really comfortable getting undressed in front of men. Luckily, some nice girls said they would watch over me in the ladies locker room, so I didn't have to go in! 😂
Thank you for informing us all of what to expect at hot springs. If I ever go to Japan I don't think I'll go to the hot springs. I don't feel comfortable being naked around other people.
3:14 I don't know the name, but there's also a festival where they do the same but with vagagas. It's basically a tradition in order to honor fertility as a whole, similar to the goddes that the egyptians prayed to. Actually quite fascinating. I've watched a report on TV about that like 5 or 7 years ago.
Your videos inspire me to learn japanese. I started last week learning with imabi and using jpdb now too, to mine cardcaptor sakura vocab. Hope I can have a decent grasp of the language 1 year from now.
Til this day, I regret asking "What is Kanamara Matsuri?" in Sora's stream in front of everyone. Looks like it came back to bite me... *Love hotels is something I didn't know about until I played Persona 4 ☠️
Good to know about some culture and stuff, when I first saw the title I thought it was some weird Fu shorts again, u surprise me for surprisingly doing something not surprising this time
the first time I came as a tourist with some friends, we had to emergency book the last day in a love hotel, it was hard because despite being in a place with a lot of love hotels nearby, no one would accept us (for being foreigner, queer, being 3 people, we'll never know) but the only place where we could book was around 18,000 yen for 1 night (around 6 years ago, Tokyo), so at least for me it's kind of expensive to go spend time in a love hotel (they are pretty comfy I'll give them that). As for the fainted people you see on the streets (not only Fridays but weekdays as well), no comments
I like seeing these videos just to see how Weeb Sora calls Japan weird and RUclipsr Sora calls him out at the end. Not to mention Serious Sora is interesting that he appears out of nowhere when American Sora gets something wrong.
Japan 1000% has weird commercials. But I think it's because they've figured it out. Appealing to our logic or emotions doesn't sell a product. An interesting / funny commercial will stick with us forever, and in that way the product will also stick with us forever. I think Japanese advertisers have cracked the code.
Good thing there is subtitles to this Sora The Troll anime, near the end I could even understand what Sora was saying even without subtitles. After all he's English is great, bit his nihongo is jouzu too dayo
I might not be able to go to Japan and I already know most of the things said on this video. Thanks again for the educational and entertaining although I said this so many times lol😅. Anyways, I keep updated always for your next video.

They need smaller amounts of alcohol to get drunk than westerners.
and IIRC young people don't really want to drink so much and gov has to promote alcohol to them...
Actually its pretty much the norm the world over outside America and the middle eastern dictatorships
The only thing that would worry me about the last one is that someone could be having a real medical emergency and people would just ignore them. 😐

I might not be able to go to Japan and I already know most of the things said on this video. Thanks again for the educational and entertaining although I said this so many times lol😅. Anyways, I keep updated always for your next video.
That hangover on Saturday
Omg this kanamara festival is today, what a crazy coincidence
This was a well made informative video that covers thing foreigners probably wouldnt ever consider. This will be helpful for tourists.
hey, it's good to see that sora is finally fighting back against sora at the end
