I'm a Japanese who had played baseball in Japan for 9 years, and I just want to tell one thing to people who see this comment and love him. You might think he is funny because his English is not perfect. But also in Japanese, HE IS JUST LIKE THIS lol. He is Munenori Kawasaki at anywhere, in any languages.
+Mad Primeape It's clear that he's not just funny because of the language stuff-ups -- he always does a cheeky hand gesture at the end of interviews etc. and you can tell he's purposely being a funny fuck. The guy is awesome.
As weird as it may sound: yes. Confidence makes you a lot more understandable with whatever limited command of the language you have and it makes you a lot more interesting as an interlocutor, which leads to more conversational practice -> faster progress. Some polyglots out there even recommend pumping yourself up before a conversation in a foreign language to do just that

I travelled with a guy from Japan for a few weeks. He was the funniest person I have ever met. Basic English but he could crack a room up with look, or a gesture or a single word
This guy's amazing! I saw him one time on the streets of dt Toronto. He was waiving at me, so I waived back, but then I realized he was waving at his family that was right behind me. I felt stupid 😂
This ancient Japanese saying gives so much inspiration: drawing a comparison to the closest species to human being, which indeed has developed far but still lives in balance and symbiosis with nature. So in our everyday 9-5 society beings sometimes we hust have to back to the roots of just being.

“Monkey never craps.”
pigeons always craps because they never eat banana
Just like hot chicks
best part is his serious stare into the camera as he says that lol
@@KAYYELI probably because they think they get their daily banana intake. Except they've been fooled, that's no banana.
Cramp. Not crap.
"Monkey never camps."
-Ancient Japanese Proverb
and it works😁🐵🐒 work out today after ate banana. leges dont cramp😃
It might be because bananas have potassium which is an electrolyte
He's being cheeky and he knows it, but it's played so straight that it's the best thing ever.

Heard any news from the other provinces?
Nothing I'd like to talk about.
Be seeing you!
Bye!
Kawasaki is a big Norm fan.
His expression when he said "huh", looks like Yakuza about to make you regret asking a stupid question.
He knows what he’s doing, and that makes it so much better.
8 Years later and this is still one of my favourite videos out there 💜
So, basically, when learning a new language, no matter how atrocious you are, if you say it with confidence you're good
He is probably very witty and clever beforehand, but yes don't be afraid to be funny or misunderstood
It’s good English though. He’s just a tad confused. My man is learning.

100%
What happened to you?
“Just crap”
“Just cramp?”

Plot twist: He really was trying to communicate that he eats bananas so that he doesn't have to go to the bathroom.
Haha, no one found you Luca - great guitar work!
No sir! YOU are a legend!
He had three because big monkey .
What happened?
Just crap.
I love this guy, everything he says is golden.
Mune we all miss you❤ You made all teammate and fans happy❤

Oh my god you are absolutely correct

Put some toby in there too

BEST INTERVIEW EVER! As a Jays fan, I demand the Jays keep this guy on the team.
Agreed..
David G I read that last part as "even when he's playing for us :)"
David G Since Jeter is retiring, they could have Kawasaki at short....that would be ideal!
I hate Kawasaki
I eat three banana. Because ... monkey... never... craps.
I love how he was not smiling at all, he was really determined about what he was saying, and was totally serious 😂😂
his voice went from a normal person to ULTRA DEEP at the very end
i think about this video on a weekly basis and im not sure if its unhealthy
almost 5years ago...

he's just the best interview in sports history
He was so awesome when he played for the Blue Jays, his character and sense of humour is legendary here in Toronto! 🇨🇦
People used to travel hundreds of miles to the orients to get this kind of wisdom and you lucky bastards are getting it for free!
@O K you must be fun at parties
@O K oof
@O K oh no
Fking ruined it, let’s go home guys, party is over.
Hey knucklehead your flag is upside down.
the guy in the background laughing after he says "monkeys never cramps" = my reaction
I watched one of his interviews last week now I cannot stop. Wholesome and awesome
Coming back to this video again from a viral tweet. To be honest, I watch this at least once a week 😂
I wish I could fully express how much I love this man
Kawasaki is such a fun baseball personality. I like him a lot.
5 years later and I still miss Kawasaki just as much
This guy, whoever he is is my new favorite person to exist.
Bro is speaking facts honestly 🔥
I like to hear him say in a low voice "thank you Arigato" after he's said all that.

I like this man, he just says whatever he wants and just doesn't care if people laugh at him 😂
I never watch baseball anymore, but I like this guy.
This is a flawless human being right here, protect Mune at all costs.
Oh Kawa... I watched all his interviews and couldn't go through a single one without laughing!
He seems like the most carefree person to ever exist
a comedian who delivers a punchline with a strict face. that is an art.
He is hilarious without even trying lol
I am bawling right now, trying to laugh silently at work as tears are streaming down my face
This interview is the best🤣🤣🤣
i look a lot videos of him. he is allways in a good mood.
probably the best sports interview of all time
Dude got a 2016 ring. Loved him w us.
Can we just appreciate how professional the interviewer is, I'd be creasing.
MOnkeys never cramps is one of the best quotes I have ever heard
he is so smooth too. thank you very much arigato.

He knows people are laughing at his accent and he's rolling with it and being funny.
+Ramen117 People aren't making fun of his accent. They're laughing at what he says and does.
He's just a funny guy. He's not rolling with anything. One Japanese guy in comments says was always like that, even before he moved to America
Love this guy
My respect for the reporter who understood "cramp" without a shed of doubt. He is a TRUE Canadian!
I LOVE KAWASAKI!!!! Sending you banana in Kansas!
"Monkey never cramps. Because a monkey everyday eat bananas, two!"
"So how many did you have today"
"...Three, Kawa ate three :-)"
the matter-of-factness with which he explains "because monke everyday bananas. 2"
i cannot argue with this logic
Never gets old!
I never watched this man play, but I do know that he is genuinely a humorous guy and makes these interviews better than anyone
i keep hearing "monkey never craps" and i cant get it out my head
Send this to Ohtani ❤️
kawasaki has a really sincere and nice attitude ..and funny too. need more people in the world like kawasaki
7 years ago this got released and the algorithm pushes now!? Give us more of this man!
You learn something new every day.
Today I learned a monkey never craps
Thanks, Kawa!
I love this guy. He is everything that’s right with baseball.
Big time
