@Jay Jay I don't think we should look at it the same way black people don't have the same history in Asiatic countries as they do in America and UK. Racism shouldn't be brought up because they are homogenous countries. They are tribalist, at best.
Great interview. And I salute Mr. Dante Carver. Mr. Carver brings me back to a place when as we visited public places my young children would stare at Black folk and I tried to avoid the situation, it made me uncomfortable thinking it made Black folk uncomfortable. I never had THE conversation with my Black friends as I never made distinctions in color, race, etc.. Subconsciously I think of color and race as a natural preference like flavors, drink preferences like lemonade over Sprite. I guess.. Then I realized... if I had lived and raised my children in Africa we would be the ones being stared at. So Mr. Carver makes very important points starting at 21:57. People may not be generally racist but when you are used to something and suddenly you're hit with something out of the norm, people that are used and very comfortable with one thing, one dimension may be thrown out of balance when presented suddenly with something different. And their indifference may have nothing to do with race. I solute Dante Carver for his bravery in breaking barriers and the host for quality programming. Great job to both for opening up the conversation to give us another clear view and direction to some that misconstrue some signs for racism. Thank gentlemen, be well. 🙏🏻
As a black woman from America that loves Japanese culture you guys inspired me to try my hand at learning the language so THANK YOU! love the content ❤️❤️
Go learn some African Languages And cultures first and then learn other people's culture you people always run To everything else but Africa and That's very sad especially when this people hate the black race unless you have something to offer them or you some famous black person They don't care about you but not only that if you Learn Japanese History you will learn their culture came from Africa so is China
@@wakandajam who says I’m not already also trying to learn more about African culture and languages? Knowing your own culture and expanding your mind to others isn’t mutually exclusive. You know nothing about me or what I want to learn. You can’t just assume. you have to be more open minded and stop pushing the idea that the only way you can uplift and support black people is by shutting out all other cultures. If we lived by your closed-minded ideals we would be no better than the racist bigots in other cultures. You have to think bigger
Lived in Japan in the late 2000’s. This black man was the only character on tv that wasn’t a character of the stereotypical black bumbling idiot. Bobby ologun was very popular around this time and I couldn’t watch him on tv smh. This man broke down barriers. Salute brotha!
I absolutely love Dante. My first time seeing him was in Yamato nadeshiko shichi henge. I was so excited to see a black dude in a Japanese show. He's a huge inspiration.
I've seen Dante in the Softbank commercials for years. Glad to finally be able to put a name to the face. Ranzo, thank you for conducting this interview with him. All the best from Canada!
Saw this on my home page...and had to watch/listen. I'm so glad you let him speak his mind in the interview rather than rush him like most interviewers would probably do. Listening to his experience was really amazing.
Hi Ranzo. Just wanted to say keep up the great work. You channel is such a massive eye opener to the world. Before your channel, I genuinely was under the impression there was like a hundred or so black people in Japan at any given time. You have showed us an entire thriving community, and also people who have been in the country for decades. Such an eye opening channel that helps to erode ignorance.
I remember when I first came to Japan a few years ago and saw Dante all over the billboards for Softbank, it was my first real look at famous foreigner I saw within Japan. He was an immediate inspiration and even tho I have not come any near close to his success in Japan, he still inspires me and many others and hearing him during this interview, I simply have more respect for him! Great jobs guys!
black people can always achieve what they want. it's just the media glorifying the hood life and painting negative views on Black Americans. There are actually loads of successful Africans/african descent in around asia which of course the western medias ignores.
No i dont believe that, us African ppl can do anything, but certain ppl put up, unbelievable road blocks, that stop us from reaching our true potential
I was blown away by this guy when I first heard his story. Thank you for this one RANZO. Dante was the original brother next to 7 more who inspired a crap ton of BM to try out things outside the West.
Thank you for all of the interviews!!! It is really interesting to learn about the black experience in Asia. May God continue to bless you and your community!
I'm so glad Dante Carver exists, carving the path within a homogenous society for those who will follow in your footsteps, who are melanated to be seen as human, and thus respect mutually extended. Great interview BEJ!
Just as in the interview, in person Dante is a generous, genuine and positive person with a wide range of passions, interests and experiences. Also clearly a good storyteller. Great interview!
As one who got familiar with Dante from watching Akasan vids it's great to hear his story. My daughter loves Japanese culture and is learning Japanese (my anime love is the culprit as she's watched along since she was a baby). Showing the pros and cons will be a benefit for her, as she wants to visit there but may want to live and work there. Great interview!
I am so glad, Dante mentioned about the train, I've witnessed this pretty often... in fact, I've never seen a Japanese sit next to people who don't look like Japanese. It shocks me evert time. I as Japanese, get up from my seat and move to the non-Japanese person. It is unconscious bias in many Japanese people. I bet it hurts those folks, when the train is packed and there's a space next to the foreign person. I know this, because this happens to me in the US too, as an Asian.
It’s good that you have this perspective. A lot of people don’t understand something until they too have walked in someone else’s shoes. Kudos for being an awesome human.
@@niamtxiv Clueless till you experience it. Until the bus is fully packed and the space beside you is vacant yet ppl that don’t look like you would rather stand than sit beside you, then you’d understand and know it’s greater than just being strangers.
@@HieroglyphixHax It's normal. Do I expect to go to Norway and expect them to come greet me and be around me? Do I expect to go to Botswana and expect the locals to come greet me and sit around me? Do I expect to go to Peru and expect the Andean locals to come greet me and sit around? No. It has nothing to do with racism. People always making things up and tried to associate or compare other world ways of life to the west. What's normal in the west isn't the same in other countries and vice versa. I've travelled.
Love this interview. It was very insightful interview about Dante and how he became to be today. And how opportunity can be opened at anytime if you work hard to achieve it. And if you are determined to achieve it as well. Great work as usual.
This interview , out of all the interviews I have seen on this lovely channel, is my favorite and most inspiring. Its like he lived the same exact life im living right now. Same scenario and all.
"Ganbarre" Danté. Every appearance you make, people learn what a pleasure it is to work with you and also to work with Black people overall for the most part. Here's to even larger roles and even more success in the future. If I didn't know the Japanese style of anime "imaginatism", I would take issue with the dog being "Otosan" --but I feel like if you did it, based on what I know from here, you brought honor to it. Ending was awesome :-D --- Ranzo!! Keep up the great work. This must have been a great look for the channel as well.
There's something about him that reminds me of Frankie Light. It's his personality. Him liking martial arts movies. His admiration for Danzel Washington, Larry Fishburn, Will Smith, Bruce Lee. What shocks me is he didn't even mention Jim Kelly. Far as Black martial artists Jim Kelly, Ron van Clief, Carl Scott, Steve James etc.. I give him a lot of credit because lots of people were doubt about him making it in a foreign land. He proved them wrong big time. Another example Arnold back in the day, everyone was saying he wasn't going to make it big in Hollywood. He proved them wrong and he became one of the biggest action star in Hollywood. There's always going to be haters. Haters coming from your own kind and from the other kind. In Asia black people aren't expose to Asian people like Caucasian people are expose to countries like Japan, Vietnam, South Korea, China, Thailand, Philippines... Mr Carver made a good point. A lack of exposer. A lack of exposer of black people. There are so many people that aren't expose to us but they are expose to rap music. Black music, black artist , black culture, black swagger, black style, black language, black talk. All of these things they like about us. However as a people we are being disrespected with the blackface shown in South Korea, United States, China etc. After all these years you figured some parts of Asia would have known by now that displaying blackface is very offensive to black people.. The things they are shown comes straight from America. Dante didn't fall for their tricks by trying to convince him into playing a stereo type of black male from the 70's, 80's, 90's. I can't believe they are still doing that in 2021. Certain roles I can't blame for refusing. Another reason why Jim Kelly didn't appear a lot on the big screen because he refuse to play those negative parts. . You know I can't think of the brother name but he is originally from New York and lives in Japan. His nick name begins with a R.. For some reason I can't find his you tube channel. It would be nice to interview him too. If I find it . I will get back to you.
Jim Kelly is an older figure especially if he is around my age of 30-ish. I met him at a Black Art convention and it was really cool to meet and learn about his life but outside of that on god I never heard of him. And my family collected old cinema and posters at the time. I think they just need more movies and docs about his life.
that advert had me rolling 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 Sorry had to add more.. but i was enthralled by the great way this was interviewed. I am very glad to see a brother doing well In a place i also aspire to be doing work one day in regards to music and movies as well. I do speak a bit of japanese and i am glad that black americans as a whole are doing more of exploring the world and and trying to find their fortune in a a different setting and country.More. power to this brother i hope he does even more great stuff... Subbed this channel!🤗🤗🤗BTW I myself LIve IN AMsterdam!
Hola, muy interesante e instructiva entrevista, Bravo. Disfruto mucho el triunfo de nosotros los negros, no importa en que lugar del mundo estén . Veo tus programas cuando el tiempo me lo permite. Soy un negro cubano que vive en Dinamarca, buena suerte les deseo.
Ah how nostalgic seeing him. I first saw Dante Carver in Kamen Rider OOO X Fourze MegaMan. It's amazing to see someone who looked like me in a big Tokusatsu series that I love.
Loved the interview. They just keep getting better and better. I know you have a good network of people you've connected with. Do you ever connect black people you've met who could work together on projects ? It seems like some of these creative people I've seen in your videos could work well together.
Always wondered who this guy was doing reactions with Akasan, now I know duh! Thanks for sharing your life, its quite inspiring especially since I am considering taking my Cyber skills to Japan..
Wow very open and insightful yet inspiring. So much appreciation and respect for both of you. Thank you for bringing us his story and thank him for sharing. Keep breaking these barriers
Woah this is awesome interviewing the awesome Dante Carver of Japan is it okay you can interview Alexander Hamilton of the benza fame one day this is one of the greatest episodes on your channel.
Please keep some certain standard questions like the following: 1) where are you from originally? (like specifics, not just USA) 2) how would you contrast living back home to living in Japan? 3) what advice would you give to new comers to Japan? 4) describe your experiences dating/marying in Japan 5) how do the police treat you in Japan? Otherwise good video as usual
I see how you came up with these, but. Out of those questions, no.1 and no.5 are I think pretty inappropreate for him to answer. He's still an active professional actor. Answering these questions can endanger his future carrier in US.
That train references is so true. I was in JP in 95, traveling on the train and I saw that. Didn't occur to me at first, then the light bulb... I still loved the visit, culture, country. Met a lot of great ppl there.
I have watched most of your videos and this one too! Keep up the great work Family. I am a big fan of your content. Great prosperity to you and your family 🙏🏾🌌
Thank you for this video and your channel, your channel truly shows the experience of being black in Japan. I tell you one thing; becoming successful and integrate into an Asian culture is one hundred percent more doable in Japan then trying to be successful or famous in China or Korea. China and Korea has a deep rooted prejudice toward people of color. Yes, Japan has people that are prejudice but, one thing about Japanese people that I do know is that, if you truly learn their culture and their language you have the opportunity to become successful. The doors will actually open up to you. China is the exact opposite, they don't care and they will not let you in regardless of your respect for their culture and knowledge of the language.
Agree 1000% as far as Japanese folk are concerned. If it's evident that you are genuinely interested in their culture and that you put in the work to learn their language, Japanese people will give you SOOOOO much respect. You won't even have to do anything to have doors open for you. They will open the doors for you just based off of how well you can enunciate the Japanese language. Well, that was my experience anyway. 😅
@@thedragonofechigo7878 Morning / afternoon. I agree with you that in general most people will respect you for learning their language. However with Japanese it's different. Japanese folk are real heavy on respect. They know that their language is difficult. They know that most foreigners aren't trying to learn their language let alone their customs. So when a foreigner takes the time to learn these things, especially if you're black because of all the negative stereotypes/reports that Japanese people have heard about us, it's a really big deal to them. For context, if I'm in a Spanish speaking country and I speak Spanish nobody bats an eye. In Japan, Japanese people will often comment how well I speak Japanese or how impressed they are that I know and observe their customs. That has opened many doors for me in the past. I haven't had those experiences say in Costa Rica or Mexico. Yeah I'm sure they appreciate that I speak Spanish, but it's not on the same level as me speaking Japanese in Japan.
@@Yuki.Hinode You are 100% correct and I can relate! China and Korea on the other hand are different. For some reason both countries have a deep rooted prejudice towards Black People. I am not sure if it has something to do with historical servitude and colonialism or what but, it is disturbing to say the least.
@@Yuki.Hinode so when it comes to the Japanese, they have far more respect for a foreigner who at least cares about thier customs and language and so it defuses any sort of assumptions between you and them especially as a black person which is odd even though I am black myself. I've invested a great deal of time learning about the history of the Samurai and not just the famed warring states period but the earlier periods such as the Nanboku-cho or the time before that when the Kamakura Bakufu ruled the country, I know most, if not all the emperors such as Go-daigo, Go-Fushimi, Go-yozei, Go-Shirakawa and so many that I can't name here but I have invested a great deal of time learning about the historical side of Japan since it does tie into the Samurai class of course and I have been learning their language albeit, yes it is hard to speak it in full but simple phrases or shorter sentences are easier for me to say.
Thank you all for watching! If you would like to watch the FULL 80 mins interview with Dante, go here: ruclips.net/video/wVCYJd0ePxs/видео.html
Plz look at question from Br Ya below.
@Jay Jay I don't think we should look at it the same way black people don't have the same history in Asiatic countries as they do in America and UK. Racism shouldn't be brought up because they are homogenous countries. They are tribalist, at best.

So Mr. Carver makes very important points starting at 21:57.

Great Interview, keep up the work it's awesome.
I like how the interviewer just lets him tell his story instead of rushing it. Great job 🙌

Me to I hate interview when they don't let the guest talk like why interview them if you speak more then them
AGREE
As a black woman from America that loves Japanese culture you guys inspired me to try my hand at learning the language so THANK YOU! love the content ❤️❤️

Thank you I was looking for that anime
Haha I'm in that one too, was a blast
Especially one that didn’t play a bumbling idiot.
Great interview,Dante is one of the coolest guys you ever interviewed,he was very open about the complete experience of Japan 🇯🇵
🙏🏿
I've seen Dante in the Softbank commercials for years. Glad to finally be able to put a name to the face. Ranzo, thank you for conducting this interview with him. All the best from Canada!
That's funny. Because you look at his face (other than on that commercial) they are much further apart. But I look in the mirror ... 🤣
ダンテさんや
まだ日本で活動してくれてて嬉しいわ
🙏🏿
After the death of Chadwick Boseman😢
I would like Dante to play the leading role in the Hollywood movie "弥助 Yasuke".😊👍
I agree, it’s better to have a “black” male who has already been integrated into the Japanese culture to take up that role!
Great interview with Dante. He has a wealth of experience happy for his success.
🙏🏿
I can't believe you got him to be in an interview with you. I have seen him on Japanese TV commercials for a long time. He is just amazing.
This interview is elegant, poised, insightful, educational...
Saw this on my home page...and had to watch/listen. I'm so glad you let him speak his mind in the interview rather than rush him like most interviewers would probably do. Listening to his experience was really amazing.

Hello Black Experience Japan, hope you can put the sub in japanese, so many japanese people can watch it and learn more about black foreigner...
You are a great example of what we as black people can achieve.
So is Barack Obama
black people can always achieve what they want. it's just the media glorifying the hood life and painting negative views on Black Americans. There are actually loads of successful Africans/african descent in around asia which of course the western medias ignores.
No i dont believe that, us African ppl can do anything, but certain ppl put up, unbelievable road blocks, that stop us from reaching our true potential

I think his humility is a lesson I can learn from. He has great perspective on life, principles and pursuit of goals.
Awesome interview. His delivery is great. BEJ interviews are very informative.
Such a great interview. Being a fellow entertainer what Dante said really resonated with me. He's a true inspiration in every sense of the word! 🙏✨🙏
Thank you for all of the interviews!!! It is really interesting to learn about the black experience in Asia. May God continue to bless you and your community!
Great interview, very humble person who gave a lot of insight.
Awesome, genuine and honest interview. Really enjoyed!

That’s wild I was in Japan from 2008 to 2011 and remembered seeing him on TV this crazy to see the back story.
YES! I've been hoping you'd do this episode!!
🙏🏿
Love this interview! I remember watching him on TV at my host family's house.
I always love seeing Dante in the SoftBank commercials. Hearing his perspective as an actor is really interesting
He is Akasan’s buddy,….. i’m glad I saw this he’s a interesting guy, very inspiring.
I was looking for him yesterday in Wikipedia glad you interviewed him

man this is good interview, thank you
Great interview, seems like a really cool guy!
great video - inspiring dude-- much success guys !!!
Ah how nostalgic seeing him. I first saw Dante Carver in Kamen Rider OOO X Fourze MegaMan. It's amazing to see someone who looked like me in a big Tokusatsu series that I love.
He gained a fan with power ranger story and gaming jobs ,incredible stuff we rarely hear but we need to,thanks guys
Cool episode as always 👌 keep going
🙏🏿
I used to work with him, top tier fella.
Another great video. Keep them comming.
:)
Awesome stuff man as a fellow Black business ( the only American performance shop in Japan ) owner and Pro automotive racer in Japan much respect!!
Thanks for sharing, brethrens. You are helping to build and maintain the Bridge of peace, love and unity throughout the nation. God bless, Japan.
Articulate, intelligent, expressive great interview.👍🏽
Thanks for letting him explain his story and how it really is surviving Japan.
Big up to Dante, very proud. Still has the highest vertical jump kick I’ve ever seen.
My man Dante!! Blessed
Happy New Year 🥳

Very interesting and informative wasn't aware of him as an actor but I'll have to check him out now. Thank you great interview
I remember hearing about him years ago…glad to see he’s still on the move 😊
Always wondered who this guy was doing reactions with Akasan, now I know duh! Thanks for sharing your life, its quite inspiring especially since I am considering taking my Cyber skills to Japan..
Utada HIkaru!!! Oh man this guy is my generation! Loved her back in the late 90s and early 00s!
Keep up the good work, Mr. Carver!
I'm living here in Japan and man I've experienced some hurdles. This is a very interesting interview.
Wow very open and insightful yet inspiring. So much appreciation and respect for both of you.
Thank you for bringing us his story and thank him for sharing.
Keep breaking these barriers
Woah this is awesome interviewing the awesome Dante Carver of Japan is it okay you can interview Alexander Hamilton of the benza fame one day this is one of the greatest episodes on your channel.
Brother has a very humble demeanor I was thinking it would be wonderful for so many others too possess those qualities...
This was cool to watch and learn from .
Please keep some certain standard questions like the following:
1) where are you from originally? (like specifics, not just USA)
2) how would you contrast living back home to living in Japan?
3) what advice would you give to new comers to Japan?
4) describe your experiences dating/marying in Japan
5) how do the police treat you in Japan?
Otherwise good video as usual
Dante keeps his relationship status strictly private, so it's no surprise that no questions were asked in that regard.
It’s nice seeing this a bit more as it’s more unique his life and experience feels natural especially the car ride.
I see how you came up with these, but. Out of those questions, no.1 and no.5 are I think pretty inappropreate for him to answer. He's still an active professional actor. Answering these questions can endanger his future carrier in US.
Super dope interview
Really enjoyed this
This is how you do an interview 👏 🙌 🙏 👌 💪 👍. Just perfect 🥰 💞 👌 👍 ❤ 😍 🥰 .

I love this interview 🙌 ❤ ♥ 👏
Great interview
That train references is so true. I was in JP in 95, traveling on the train and I saw that. Didn't occur to me at first, then the light bulb... I still loved the visit, culture, country. Met a lot of great ppl there.

Shout out to you Akasan, i love seeing you and Dante react to videos
That dog commercial is either pure genius or absolute madness…
Thank you for this video and your channel, your channel truly shows the experience of being black in Japan. I tell you one thing; becoming successful and integrate into an Asian culture is one hundred percent more doable in Japan then trying to be successful or famous in China or Korea. China and Korea has a deep rooted prejudice toward people of color. Yes, Japan has people that are prejudice but, one thing about Japanese people that I do know is that, if you truly learn their culture and their language you have the opportunity to become successful. The doors will actually open up to you. China is the exact opposite, they don't care and they will not let you in regardless of your respect for their culture and knowledge of the language.
Agree 1000% as far as Japanese folk are concerned. If it's evident that you are genuinely interested in their culture and that you put in the work to learn their language, Japanese people will give you SOOOOO much respect. You won't even have to do anything to have doors open for you. They will open the doors for you just based off of how well you can enunciate the Japanese language. Well, that was my experience anyway. 😅
@@Yuki.Hinode now that's interesting but I think that is universal. You know someone's language, they will respect more for it.
@@thedragonofechigo7878 Morning / afternoon. I agree with you that in general most people will respect you for learning their language. However with Japanese it's different. Japanese folk are real heavy on respect. They know that their language is difficult. They know that most foreigners aren't trying to learn their language let alone their customs. So when a foreigner takes the time to learn these things, especially if you're black because of all the negative stereotypes/reports that Japanese people have heard about us, it's a really big deal to them. For context, if I'm in a Spanish speaking country and I speak Spanish nobody bats an eye. In Japan, Japanese people will often comment how well I speak Japanese or how impressed they are that I know and observe their customs. That has opened many doors for me in the past. I haven't had those experiences say in Costa Rica or Mexico. Yeah I'm sure they appreciate that I speak Spanish, but it's not on the same level as me speaking Japanese in Japan.
@@Yuki.Hinode You are 100% correct and I can relate! China and Korea on the other hand are different. For some reason both countries have a deep rooted prejudice towards Black People. I am not sure if it has something to do with historical servitude and colonialism or what but, it is disturbing to say the least.
@@Yuki.Hinode so when it comes to the Japanese, they have far more respect for a foreigner who at least cares about thier customs and language and so it defuses any sort of assumptions between you and them especially as a black person which is odd even though I am black myself.
I've invested a great deal of time learning about the history of the Samurai and not just the famed warring states period but the earlier periods such as the Nanboku-cho or the time before that when the Kamakura Bakufu ruled the country, I know most, if not all the emperors such as Go-daigo, Go-Fushimi, Go-yozei, Go-Shirakawa and so many that I can't name here but I have invested a great deal of time learning about the historical side of Japan since it does tie into the Samurai class of course and I have been learning their language albeit, yes it is hard to speak it in full but simple phrases or shorter sentences are easier for me to say.
Takeaway=Talent + Hard work+ determination can pay off. Don't be afraid to be different.
Great interview. All you needed was a singing bit and it could have been Ranzo's version of James Corden's Carpool Karaoke hahaha
😂🙏🏿
Great outlook on life. Prove yourself to the world. I pray many youth have the occasion to view this video.
I’m amazed! When I was trying to learn Japanese back in the 2000s was Utada Hikaru & M-Flo!
