I love portuguese. I was born a chilean, but when I speak brazilian portuguese I become outgoing and funny, just like them. It's such a wonderful culture. Pretty much everyone loves them.
Thats actually a REAL thing!! In the process of learning a language, our brain also "ask us" to "choose" one personality to go with the new language. Thats why people change voice tones, pace, volume, while changing through languages. As you probably had an "idea" of what a brazilian is (probably you see us as outgoing people) thats the personality you decided to stick up in portuguese!! Congrats on speaking another language, it makes wonderful to the brain! Love from Brasil
Thank you!🇧🇷💚💛 You are really kind! I think this happens because we need to copy the sounds and way of phrasing things of the new language, so when we learn another language, other side of us shows up... I don't like the sound of my voice in my native language (Portuguese) because it is very high pitch, but when I learned English, my tone was down. And English brings me in a place of "get it done", so all my TO DO list are better in English too. If I write it in Portuguese, it almost sure it will be pospond...
Só da Karina começar falando "então", vc já percebe quase tudo sobre ela... até ela começar a falar português eu não tinha percebido quem ela era ou como ela era. Achei curioso o fato que mesmo falando fluentemente outros idiomas, a personalidade só fica exposta mesmo na língua nativa... muito bom.
Na real Geralmente pessoas criam personalidades diferentes pra cada língua, ocorre naturalmente Não existe uma original, ambas são válidas, só dependem da língua sendo falada no momento.
O que as pessoas não percebem é como o idioma não é só uma ferramenta de comunicação, mas compreensão e *expressão* também. Cada idioma é formado por uma determinada perspectiva cultural, o português, por exemplo, é um idioma fortemente influenciado pelo cristianismo, vide sua origem cultural e várias expressões na própria língua - ave maria, meu Deus!, Deus te ouça, valha mi deus... e muitas outras -, enquanto japonês, por outro lado, é um idioma fortemente baseado em respeito, o que se revela na evolução do japonês e a sua estrutura gramatical, tendo até 4 níveis de formalidade distintos para cada caso social. Todo idioma possui suas respectivas peculiaridades dado tais variáveis, o que leva a diferentes formas de expressar idéias que, às vezes, pode ser equivalente, mas geralmente diferente para menos ou para mais, ou até de uma forma completamente única e nova que outro idioma não desenvolveu. Idiomas são *realmente* incríveis, eu percebo que as pessoas subestimam demais o que são e o quanto eles moldam a nós como indivíduos.
@@AmodeusR Belíssimo comentário. Esses dias mesmo eu estava viajando em se havia algum tipo de pesquisa pra mensurar - ou registrar - o quanto uma língua molda o nosso raciocínio. Pensei muito também no caso da poesia e na diferença que deve ser e o quanto as outras línguas carregam nas palavras, diferentes das nossas aqui. Como por exemplo, no Japão, o caso da escrita ser utilizada utilizando os ideogramas. Por hora não consigo explicar nem desenvolver melhor essa ideia, mas me foi o suficiente para viajar pensando bastante kkkk
@@SewNome com certeza tem pesquisas nesse sentido, um dos campos da psicologia é basicamente baseado todo nesse conceito (psicologia histórico cultural/sócio histórica)
Multicultural people also do this, i believe thats because you unconsciouly inprint the experiences you had learning that language on your speech. If you had an more agradable experience learning that language rathern than the other, if it were troublesome for you to learn or even suiting it to how you perceive the "mother country" of that language may influence on the tone, speed and use of words. Either that or they were just anxious
@@HeadhuntexGamer she is brazilian, that is, she is used to our extroverted way, that's why she acted more extroverted when she started to speak portuguese.
I’m not even Japanese nor Brazilian, but just from the internet alone I can tell that the people of Brazil are some of the best people on Earth that you can vibe/spend time with. Like legit, their vibes are just at another level.
worldwide people should fears more the japanese than giving them a praise they don't deserve because of their overabused tatemae culture. even most people in my country show a little of their honne instead of always acting nice. i like their products and how their country looks, but the persons themselves are just like wasting our time to interact , like if they still lives during the isolated period of japan. very pathetic during the 21th century.
Loved how half-Brazilians are more open to tell their honest opinion without trying to add diplomacy and differs of what they experienced, Takashii your channel deserves a star for not editing a lot of interviews!
Morei em Tóquio 2 anos e concordo totalmente com as meninas, viver no Japão é muito mais conveniente, seguro e você não precisa ser rico para ter uma condição de vida boa.
com certeza é muito mais seguro e vc pode comprar praticamente qlq tecnologia com um salario minimo, mas não é conveniente msm kkk , alem de que pra morar bem e comer bem vc precisa ganhar mais do que um salario médio no brasil, fora a pressão social e convivio dia a dia.. a não ser que vc nasça no país ou seja muito cabeça aberta pra se acostumar a isso não vale a pena morar por la
@@vmvm949 isso é meio que óbvio, não é? Do mesmo jeito que tu acha eles esquisitos, eles também vão te achar esquisito kkkk afinal, existe um mundo inteiro separando a cultura.
Eu já vi muitas reportagens sobre o Japão. Dizem que não precisa ser rico para ter uma vida boa lá, mas já vi muitos japoneses vivendo em casas e apartamentos minusculos que inteiras não dão o tamanho do meu quarto, e olha que não sou rico no brasil. Dizem que lá é mais seguro, mas vivem em um perigo eminente dos terremotos e tsunamis! Sem contar as ameaças exteriores de um ditador maluco norte-coreano com poder nuclear que não gosta muito do Japão. Já no Brasil o maior perigo são dois caras pés de chinelo armados numa moto, nada mais que isso.
I'm just like Karina! Born in Japan and right after went to Brazil and was raised there. Now I live in Japan! My grandmother is Japanese, grandfather Italian, so my mom is half. My father is Brazilian, so is a huge mix! It's good to have all these cultural background, but sometimes we feel lost to which country we belong because we are always foreigners. Congrats for the video!! I was waiting for one about Japanese-Brazilian people!!!
i live in brazil (half japanese) and its crazy how natalia was speaking english with a bit of japanese accent, but when she spoke portuguese it was just SO PERFECT. And suddenly she turned into 100% brazilian to me. I actually did a double take *speaks english* "She looks japanese--- " *speaks portuguese* "---huh? She definitely looks brazilian" XD cheers from brazil! hope your doing well!
"Então, meu nome Karina..." é muito brasileira. 😂 Brazilian here, I want to visit Japan one day, it's a beautiful place and the people seem very kind. I just discovered the channel, loving your content!
I talked with nikkei people for the first time in my life. It was very interesting to know about Japanese people who have experienced other countries. Thank you so much for watching ! I want to go to Latin America to interview Japanese people who live there
Come to "Liberdade" here in São Paulo, Brazil. It's one of the biggest Japantowns in the world. You'll love it. Here, descendants of Japanese migrants have created a unique culture, fusing their traditions with local ones.
Takashi sam yoroshiko I lived for 10 years (1995-2005) in Nagoya, Tokyo and Ozaka. Working as dekasseki,learn japanese with my good friend Yamada sam miss this guy. Married with nissei,but Im 100% no denomination lololo My name is Alecio Melo, love much more the ancient Japan and your tradition. If or when you come to Brazil will be very welcome in my region (Ceará the land of the sun as a Caribean clima)and my home will be your home for free . Anytime. Love your channel and headline . Thanks for the inteligents posts.

Venha para o Brasil... venha conhecer a maior colônia japonesa do mundo na cidade de São Paulo.... e seja bem-vindo.
I'm Japanese my hometown is not brazil town.but There were two Japanese brazilians classmates elementary and middle school.There are so many Brazilians in Japan.🇯🇵🇧🇷
Lot of Japanese in Brazil and some in other South American countries, they go a couple of generations back to workers from Japan who came over to make money and some settled. One of my best friends is Japanese/Brazilian that returned to Japan to work in Tokyo, the differences are subtle to a Japanese person who was born in Japan but there are there. She's more confident and outgoing than most Japanese women, she's warm and brings everyone in the room together to become friends. I find a lot of native Japanese to be a bit more standoffish and introverted, they don't open up very easily even after knowing you a long time.
japanese of brazil>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>japanese of japan. there is no value befriending someone in japan. unlike in brazil
Karina said everything, to live well in Brazil you need to be rich. As a Brazilian/Japanese that is living in Saitama now, I say that in Japan you can live easily
it's not exactly like you have to be rich, i'm middle class brazilian and i live well I study at a private school, I live in an apartment with two bedrooms and a balcony, I have a video game, a computer, streaming services, etc. And all this with my mother working as a secretary and my father working as a merchant (common street stores) Obviously we do have certain difficulties, such as: we don't have a car, we don't eat meat every day and we don't go for tours as often but it's okay.I can live perfectly like this But as you said life in Japan is certainly simpler and easier
@@legendaslegendadas8966 Yes, when I was living in Brazil, my family's house was middle class too and lived well. But what I meant was if someone would be living alone in Brazil, since it's more likely the case for people that come to Japan for work. I at least don't think I could live well alone in Brazil unless a job paid at least 2000~3000 a month
@@yanato69 Well yes but the way you said it or the girl in the video said it seemed like only rich people in the literal sense can live here peacefully and the rest of the middle class population live miserably Which is not true, but I understand what you mean and I agree.
@@eduardobarbosa7460 Deparei-me com um brasileiro sensato nos comentários, os brasileiros não contemplam a autenticidade nítida dantesca e ignominiosa do país, se conformam com invencionices e obrigações, quando algum indivíduo morando no exterior fala que no Brasil para viver bem precisa ser rico, eles tentam refutar os brasileiros/estrangeiros que moram fora do Brasil, porém no Brasil é ostensível, inexistência de segurança, escassez na saúde, exiguidade e privação da educação, um dos Qi e IDH mais baixos do mundo, etc, por isso o Brasil encontra-se em ensejo absoluto, nunca houve político honesto, nacionalista, estadista e patriota que tivesse visão do futuro e pensasse nas próximas gerações do povo, não há honra nessa terra chamada tupiniquim chamada Pindorama no passado.

Abraços! ✋😄
Interesting interview that we don’t really find on tv shows nor other RUclips videos! I like how they not only cherish their origins but also Japanese culture😊✨Great work as always Takashi san!
Hi... In Japan living almost 300k brazilians nikkeys now. Must they 100% japanese (no mix with foreing people). Im brazilian original married with nissei, live for 11 years in Nagoya,Tokyo a long time ago. Love Japan and your culture, some japaneses are so good people ,learn with Yamada sam my factory partner (is no more with us, miss that guy). I know as the life is hard and as some thing in Japan are complicate for gaijins, but Japan can't forget the love and respect from this people (I know some then bring problems). Wherever only one thing, Japan need open his mind to receive well all. Thanks for your time...see you
Japanese culture and Brazilian culture are both our Origins. For exemplo my mother's is a "Nisei" and her first language was nihongo. As a little child, she knows almost nothing about Brazilian culture until she entred at regular Brazilian shogako. Japanese culture was the world she knew at that time, and of course she passed me a litlle bit about that.
@@victorcarneiro3779 tem pontos chaves da fonética japonesa que atrapalham a fala do português, esse " L " solto no final da palavra Brasil é uma delas, eles não tem esse L, por isso tendem a dizer "Burajiru".
@@victorcarneiro3779 na real tem bastante diferença, eh mais fácil um brasileiro aprender japonês do que um japonês aprender português ou qualquer outro idioma
@@pedrosabino8751 na real é pq no japonês existe um sistema de escrita fonético que não possui muitos sons que existem em muitas outras línguas, japonês sempre apanha ao aprender um idioma pq cresceram sem nenhuma prática em sons específicos, por isso o sotaque deles eh tão forte
Vdd haha, em português a voz parece normal (talvez pq eu fale português rs), em inglês a voz fica mais fina, e em japonês, coreano, chinês, russo, alemão e etc parece que a voz fica mais grave.
C'est vrai ! Je suis française. Mon mari est d'origine chinoise/hongkongaise, nous sommes mariés depuis 31 ans et selon qu'il s'exprime en français ou en cantonais, il paraît complètement une autre personne ! Même son expression physique change: sa voix est plus grave, "virile" en cantonais, plus effacée en français, presque moins sur de lui.
I’ll never forget talking to a ‘Korean’ lady in Tokyo. She told me she was Korean, I asked where in Korea she was born, she said Tokyo. I asked where her parents or grandparents were born, she said Tokyo. I asked if she’d been to Korea, and she said no. Her parents and grandparents hadn’t either… My Japanese friend said “it must be nice that you can live in Japan”. I said “not really mate, she’s a second class citizen in her own country. She’s not even allowed a Japanese passport and she barely knows any Korean”. The attitudes of people all over the world to 2nd, 3rd and 4th generation immigrants is appalling.
@kalam she said she had to say she was Korean because she wasn’t Japanese. She doesn’t speak Korean, she’s never been to Korean yet Japanese people call her Korean hence she does too. If you are born in a country you are from that country. Simple.
@kalam She wasn’t a foreigner living in Japan, she is Japanese, only speaks Japanese and has never been to Korea, yet is told she is Korean and isn’t allowed to be Japanese. She isn’t Korean that has lived in Japan for 20 years, she’s never bloody been anywhere else, she is Japanese. Not sure how you can’t read my comment…
@@lil-g4879 You dont know what you are talking about so let me explain it to you. Koreans born in Japan can get Japanese citizenship if they apply for it. They choose not to though and retain their Korean citizenship. Even though they are not Japanese citizens, they cannot get deported for committing crimes and their legal resident status is unique as their kids automatically receive the same status and rights when they are born as well. They are also afforded the right to use a Japanese name in Japan for legal and official purposes so its basically impossible to know if they are Korean or not. So its basically more advantageous for them to keep their Korean citizenship as they are basically citizens of both Japan and Korea. If they choose Japanese citizenship they have to stay in Japan forever without the option of going to Korea. In any case, there are many Koreans who have received Japanese citizenship and willingly discarded their Korean identity. Its a choice to have or not to have Japanese citizenship.
@@bardgold4553 I know exactly what I am talking about. Where did I mention anything other than the perception of Japanese people when they look at people of Korean descent and how Zainichi have to identify themselves because they are marginalised in Japan. Read what I said again. Get your head out of your backside and realise that they are the victims not the problem. But like most (I’m guessing you’re Japanese) it’s always the immigrant’s fault…
@@lil-g4879 you said they are treated as 2nd class citizens. If they want to be treated as real Japanese then they can easily get Japanese citizenship. If they choose to retain their Korean nationality and are treated as foreigner why is that surprising. If their nationality is not Japanese then they are not Japanese. If they are are Japanese nationality then they are Japanese. Explain what the issue is? If they identify as Japanese shouldnt they give up their Korean nationality so they can obtain Japanese citizenship?
I'm so glad you interviewed Brazilian Japanese people ☺️🇧🇷❤️✌🏻 Brazil is home to the world's largest community of Japanese descendants outside of Japan! I'm mixed too 🇧🇷🇯🇵
Thank you so much for this video my man. It was a MUCH needed one, the connection between Brazil and Japan is way bigger than people realize, I grew up around japanese people and I live in Brazil's countryside. Brazil has a strong japanese presence and we seriously look up to japanese people and culture (I think there's more otaku here than in Japan, LoL). Anyways, I wish more youtuber's realized the connection and put ou quality videos like this one, cheers!
Soh para verificação, vc sabe que Countryside significa zona rural, né, como em fazendas, ou no meio do mato. Se quis dizer interior, não existe equivalente exato em P Inglês. Dizem "inner state", ou "away fom big cities", ou "in a small town in the state of...."
You should try to collab with Guti and Eliana! They live in Tokyo! You would learn a lot of Brazilian culture(and the amazing food we have). Shout out from Rio 🇧🇷
@@claudiogingar Sim, Brasil, EUA, America Latina, Interior de SP também. A capital SP foi abandonada por todos, após o término da escravidão, vieram italianos, japoneses e arabes e se fixaram na capital, desenvolvendo fabriquetas e comercio.
As Argentinian I knew there are a lot of actual japanesse people living here in Argentina (I even have neighbours that were born in Japan, one of them has a pharmacy and other has an eyeglass store with a cool japanese sign) And I always knew that there are a lot more of Brazilians-Japanese people (Brazil has the highest amount of japanese foreigners or something like that), so this video is highly interesting. There's even an Argentine-Japanese youtuber very well known in the latin american community, his chanel is Japatonic if you mind to check it out and his contet is all related to Japan culture and stuff.
I’m American and Brazilian and I speak both languages. I live in Florida most my life but it’s feels so crazy to meet Japanese people being able to speak Portuguese and English. I would love to go to Japan and talk to the Brazilian Japanese people.
🤣🤣 Imagine a Brazilian Japanese child speaking English with a German accent. I'll never forget the face my first English teacher did when she heard me talking... 😂😂 Quando a gente nasce e cresce em São Paulo essas coisas acontecem.
It was such a good feeling hearing them speaking Portuguese. I'm also half Brazilian half Japanese and I love watching videos about Japan but most channels are in English, so it was a nice surprise.
Imagine being able to talk with your friends from 3 different countries in their language like the first girl.. Great video again Takashii this one prob gonna be a hit as well 😉
@@davimag2071 Brazilians are kinda open minded when it comes to new cultures since the brazilian culture is a mess of mixed cultures from different countries.
Almost every young people in Brazil speaks more than 1 language, a lot of people have a common dream of working or studying abroad here. I'm no different, I speak Portuguese, Spanish, Galician, English and I'm learning Japanese
Thank you for doing this video, very interesting. My mom was born in Japan and moved to Brazil as a child with her whole family when life was not so great in Japan during the post-war. Many years later, when life was tough in Brazil some of her family (my aunts, uncles, cousins) went to Japan in order to work and save money to improve their lives in Brazil. Some of them ended up going back to Brazil after a few years, some ended up staying in Japan.
Viva a lusofonia. De nada serve ser reconhecido e respeitado como povo se o próprio idioma é deixado de lado . É como deixar de ser brasileiro. Mas cada um faz o que quer da própria vida . Minha parte faço e muitos estrangeiros já aprenderam português comigo e tem outra visão sobre nosso povo .
the japanese of japan are much less kind and honest than the ones in brazil os japoneses no japão são muito menos gentis e honestos do que os japoneses no brasil
I grew up in the United States, but have a Brazilian background like many of the people you interviewed. A friend of mine that worked in Japan for many years always told me to present myself as an American whenever doing business with Japanese. Americans are usually looked at as equal, whereas Brazilian are seen as factory and low skilled workers. Not sure if it's true, but this conversation came back after watching the videos.
It depends on the person more so than nationality. Japanese people will judge you by social class, education, mannerism, or civility. In reality, some of the Brazilians in Japan have neck/arm tattoos like gangs, they walk and talk and dress like narcos, and are often arrested for car-jacking, looting, shoplifting, drugs, murder etc. At the same time, there are many educated and cultured Nikkei-Brazilian bankers, doctors, professors, lawyers, IT engineers, musicians, school teachers, etc. The latter group will be appreciated and treated with respect in Japan. The former will be treated with disgust and disgrace.
Hi Takashi. How are you? I'll repeat a comment I made in a previous video. Here in Brazil we have much respect for Japan. The education, culture, discipline and way of life of the Japanese people leave us full of admiration! Thanks for sharing this amazing vídeo! Have a good week!
Japoneses no Brasil são pessoas melhores para fazer amizade. eles são mais abertos, mais honestos, mais naturais e não se comportam como autômatos sem emoção, como os japoneses no Japão.
as a Brazilian I am flattered to have a video related to my country, we have a lot of respect and affection for the Japanese people, your story of dexterity and union enchants us, I live in Curitiba in Brazil and here I have many friends of Japanese descent, and we are very proud of that, in Japan to cities full of Brazilians, immigration to my country of Japanese was one of the biggest, we have many descendants, some studies say that in Brazil more than 6 million descendants and children of Japanese, Japanese culture is rooted in our hearts, I hope one day to be part of these Brazilians who managed to live in Japan and acquire such an enriching experience, thank you very much for the video
@@Slyj you are completely wrong, of course there are prejudiced people, as in any part of the world, but they are a minority compared to those who really have great respect and compassion for the asian people
@@Slyj Where did you hear this info? In USA the racism against asians is huge, especially after Covid where people there started attacking asians blaming them for the virus, you would never see anything like that in Brazil. Here in Brazil asians has a very good image, people find japanese culture very interesting (a lot of people likes manga, anime, japanese fight, japanese food, japanese language) and likes their behavior, thinks they are hardworking and studious people. The most disrespectful thing against asians in Brazil would be some few people that makes jokes about their accent and wide-eyes, it used to happen more in the past, now people started to see how wrong it is to make jokes about the appearance of others. But even these jokes are not made because of hate, it is just the bad brazilian behavior to make fun of everything. The black people in Brazil are the ones that suffer hate and strong discrimination.
@@Slyj no. It's from US lol. We are being attacked in the streets here because of COVID Source: I'm an Asian born in US P.S. It is not ALL bad... it's just there are a lot of really either ignorant or racist people in my area.
Com certeza, a vida é muito maluca 🥰 loved this kind of long interview, it felt like a casual conversation and wish u could maybe adapt this format onto ur channel takashii
CONGRATULATIONS Takashii !!! Your channel is improving with every theme you wisely explore! In Brazil there is a huge Japanese community formed after the end of II World War . In São Paulo downtown, there are an Oriental neighborhood called Liberdade, also, a famous Japan House São Paulo.
I am brazilian and I live in Argentina, just by the way Karina speaks english and express herself, you can tell she is very brazilian. And the last guy, also has a very argentine way of expressing himself. Where you grew up, really affects the way you speak other languages.
Na verdade ele ficou chocado com o fato de ela ter tantos amigos. A gente sabe, por depoimentos dos próprios japoneses, que eles são muito fechados e o quanto é difícil fazer amigos nessas cidades superpopulosas. Brasileiro é diferenciado... e desenrolado !! 😁🤣🤣🤣🤣👍🥰🥰
Fun fact: Japanese don’t consider real Japanese to a full Japanese who was born in South America, even though their whole family came from Japan. Yeah, Japanese are like that.
As a Brazilian (but of Italian descent, so I'm not Japanese), this video is extremely trippy to watch I have Japanese-Brazilian friends, and I know a lot of Japanese people live in Brazil but like, something feels so surreal watching the people in this video speak english, but one in a more japanese accent, and another in a portuguese accent Crikey, this is really fascinating
the japanese of japan are much less kind and honest than the ones in brazil os japoneses no japão são muito menos gentis e honestos do que os japoneses no brasil
I was waiting for this one since I found this chanel. I am a brasilian and I lived many years in a famous Japanese town name Liberdade(which means freedom) in Sao Paulo City in Brazil, actually since I was born till my teens. I even bought a condo over there. For this reason I have been loving the culture since I was a little girl 🤗 Today I live in Europe and I miss my asian little town and it's people ❤
I never realized so many Japanese Brazilians were out there, their cultures seem to be at complete opposite ends but the people are really beautiful and interesting to know. I do hope i get the chance to visit either country some day ☺️
Thanks for covering this topic, I'm also a Japanese Brazilian, lived in Japan for 3 years, from 2003 to 2006 in Aichi prefecture, and I intend to return to Japan someday.
love your video!!! Felt good watching brazilians over there, i think this is the first video about it, really nice! I plan to travel to Tokyo, and i love your channel, thanks Takashii! Sending good vibes from Brazil!!
First of all, I'm very happy you interviwed brazilians, nice video, Takashi. In São Paulo there are a lot of japanese descendants, two friends of mine returned to Japan to earn more money in the factories and one of them bought an awesome car, probably here in Brazil he would take longer to buy one like that, the second girl is totally right. Also, Brazil is a nice country to visit there are many beautiful places, but living is sometimes difficult, if you aren't rich, probably you'll have some problems at times, she's right again.
A grande maioria dos descendentes de japoneses são de São Paulo, então é bem provável que seja independente do sotaque. São Paulo recebeu mais de 70% dos japoneses que vieram ao Brasil, hoje são cerca de 1 milhão e meio em São Paulo, o segundo estado com maior número é o Paraná com cerca de 300 mil, nos demais estados não passa de 100 mil em nenhum.
I think you should have asked a few more specific questions like: - What generation are you? - Are you mixed? - Do you feel like you are treated differently when people learn you are Japanese/mixed Japanese from abroad? - What's the reason you came/came back to Japan? As a 4th generation half Japanese half Brazilian I related to almost nothing in the video. I was born in Brazil and lived in Canada and I'm now in Japan to work and experience life here. Two reasons ALL the Nikkei usually share is to "learn about our roots" and make money. Hope you take this feedback and ask them on your next video. Thanks for making the video though.
Why couldn't you relate? It was just simple questions, that one girl wasn't asked about her mixing but she told about it anyway. If you go to some countryside people can look a lot like a 4th generation so you will mingle, if u actually don't look like them, they probably can't even look at you properly cuz most of them are pratically blind grandpas PS: sorry for ruining your 69 likes
@@kaydkaydkayd 1st generation are my great grandparents who moved from Japan to Brazil 2nd generation are the sons of immigrants, second generation Japanese 3rd generation are the grandchildren of immigrants, third generation Japanese 4th generation are the great grandchildren of immigrants, fourth generation Japanese All married other Japanese immigrant descendants, but I'm my case I'm mixed, other families mix as early as the second generation, others are still full Japanese and so on
As a brazilian and lover of japanese culture and language, I really liked this video! Please, interview more latin people that live in Japan! 日本語が大好きです!
Que vídeo legal, achei muito interessante. Aqui no Brasil temos uma das maiores comunidades japonesas do mundo, com o nosso país tendo fortes laços culturais com o Japão, assim como também temos muitos brasileiros vivendo hoje no país. Abraços do Brasil amigos 🇧🇷🇯🇵
This was very interesting Takashii. You can get lots of amazing stories from people with international/binational background, and they were not the exception. The last guy speaks with the Argentinian accent which is very cool hehe Greetings from Ecuador. Looking forward to visiting Japan soon 😊👍 keep up the amazing content
Really nice interview! I'm Brazilian and it was interesting to notice how the girls changed their personality (they seemed less shy) when they switched to Portuguese
As an aside. I heard from a Philippine friend there are a few Japanese brazilians who are active in Filipino entertainment industry.especially Daniel Matsunaga is popular !!
if anyone is wondering both girls are speaking with a noticeable São Paulo city accent, that's where most of the Japanese brazilian community is and they are probably both from there. There is also a lot of Japanese descendents in the southern states, which have a similar accent, so they could be from there to, like from Porto Alegre maybe
I am brazilian and lived in Japan 2005 ~2007 working in factories. In 2016 I got married with the intention of bringing my Brazilian wife and living in Japan. We didn't do that and I regret it, because Brazil is a real madness to live in today.
@@maegalroammis6020 At least it's easier to have a better standard of living and far, far less likely to be a victim of heinous as well as petty crimes.
Takashii your channel has become one of my favorite ones. I found it recently and what you do is very powerful. I spent 14 years in Japan as a Peruvian nikkei and there is a huge barrier between the cultures and for foreigners living in Japan it can be so isolating. You are opening a bridge for different cultures in Japan to understand each other better! Please never stop!
man your interviews are really interesting and good, as me who likes japanese culture is nice watching this kind of content, greetings from argentina takashi
I'm from Brazil and have been watching you for a long time, so it's really cool to see you make a video like this, I got pretty surprised. Take care, Takashii!
That was interesting, I'm a brazilian and I always have seen the videos by the people from here about the japan, it's nice seeing a video on the other side. Your content is great man, keep going. I see that your channel it's growing fast too, that's awesome.
Nice video! As south americans, we love to see our beautiful culture and people contributing with their experiences to your video, we feel represented, especially brazilians! Brazil has the biggest international nikkei community and the japanese culture is so vivid in certain places in Brazil (i.e Liberdade/SP and Assaí/PR), it would be nice to see more brazilian related content in your channel. Keep the good work, your videos are interesting and amazing! 🇧🇷 ❤

Yea because Latinos are super outgoing
@@jr3753 or the asians are shy too much rsrs
I lived in Germany and Germans didn't believe me when I told I was shy either.

I love portuguese. I was born a chilean, but when I speak brazilian portuguese I become outgoing and funny, just like them. It's such a wonderful culture. Pretty much everyone loves them.
Weno, me gustan mucho los weones de Chile también
Eres chileno-brazuca?
Thank you! 😊🇧🇷
Thats actually a REAL thing!! In the process of learning a language, our brain also "ask us" to "choose" one personality to go with the new language. Thats why people change voice tones, pace, volume, while changing through languages. As you probably had an "idea" of what a brazilian is (probably you see us as outgoing people) thats the personality you decided to stick up in portuguese!! Congrats on speaking another language, it makes wonderful to the brain! Love from Brasil
Thank you!🇧🇷💚💛 You are really kind!
I think this happens because we need to copy the sounds and way of phrasing things of the new language, so when we learn another language, other side of us shows up... I don't like the sound of my voice in my native language (Portuguese) because it is very high pitch, but when I learned English, my tone was down. And English brings me in a place of "get it done", so all my TO DO list are better in English too. If I write it in Portuguese, it almost sure it will be pospond...
Só da Karina começar falando "então", vc já percebe quase tudo sobre ela... até ela começar a falar português eu não tinha percebido quem ela era ou como ela era. Achei curioso o fato que mesmo falando fluentemente outros idiomas, a personalidade só fica exposta mesmo na língua nativa... muito bom.
Não só isso, ela no começo falou ´´hurum`` que é genuinamente da lingua portuguesa.
Na real
Geralmente pessoas criam personalidades diferentes pra cada língua, ocorre naturalmente
Não existe uma original, ambas são válidas, só dependem da língua sendo falada no momento.
O que as pessoas não percebem é como o idioma não é só uma ferramenta de comunicação, mas compreensão e *expressão* também. Cada idioma é formado por uma determinada perspectiva cultural, o português, por exemplo, é um idioma fortemente influenciado pelo cristianismo, vide sua origem cultural e várias expressões na própria língua - ave maria, meu Deus!, Deus te ouça, valha mi deus... e muitas outras -, enquanto japonês, por outro lado, é um idioma fortemente baseado em respeito, o que se revela na evolução do japonês e a sua estrutura gramatical, tendo até 4 níveis de formalidade distintos para cada caso social.
Todo idioma possui suas respectivas peculiaridades dado tais variáveis, o que leva a diferentes formas de expressar idéias que, às vezes, pode ser equivalente, mas geralmente diferente para menos ou para mais, ou até de uma forma completamente única e nova que outro idioma não desenvolveu.
Idiomas são *realmente* incríveis, eu percebo que as pessoas subestimam demais o que são e o quanto eles moldam a nós como indivíduos.
@@AmodeusR Belíssimo comentário. Esses dias mesmo eu estava viajando em se havia algum tipo de pesquisa pra mensurar - ou registrar - o quanto uma língua molda o nosso raciocínio.
Pensei muito também no caso da poesia e na diferença que deve ser e o quanto as outras línguas carregam nas palavras, diferentes das nossas aqui. Como por exemplo, no Japão, o caso da escrita ser utilizada utilizando os ideogramas. Por hora não consigo explicar nem desenvolver melhor essa ideia, mas me foi o suficiente para viajar pensando bastante kkkk
@@SewNome com certeza tem pesquisas nesse sentido, um dos campos da psicologia é basicamente baseado todo nesse conceito (psicologia histórico cultural/sócio histórica)
When they speak english they are very formal and serious.
When they start speaking portuguese is like they have a huge boost in charisma.
Thats probably because its your mother tongue
Multicultural people also do this, i believe thats because you unconsciouly inprint the experiences you had learning that language on your speech. If you had an more agradable experience learning that language rathern than the other, if it were troublesome for you to learn or even suiting it to how you perceive the "mother country" of that language may influence on the tone, speed and use of words.
Either that or they were just anxious
@@HeadhuntexGamer she is brazilian, that is, she is used to our extroverted way, that's why she acted more extroverted when she started to speak portuguese.

I’m not even Japanese nor Brazilian, but just from the internet alone I can tell that the people of Brazil are some of the best people on Earth that you can vibe/spend time with.
Like legit, their vibes are just at another level.
Obrigada haha
worldwide people should fears more the japanese than giving them a praise they don't deserve because of their overabused tatemae culture. even most people in my country show a little of their honne instead of always acting nice. i like their products and how their country looks, but the persons themselves are just like wasting our time to interact , like if they still lives during the isolated period of japan. very pathetic during the 21th century.
Don't trust on things you see in internet. Brazilians are heart breakers by nature.

Loved how half-Brazilians are more open to tell their honest opinion without trying to add diplomacy and differs of what they experienced, Takashii your channel deserves a star for not editing a lot of interviews!
And It goes both ways: If they need to speak harsh of Brazil, they do It, and If they need to do the same with Japan, they do It as well
I don't know where are you from but here in Brazil it's really common. We are used to talk openly about our difficulties.
Cause Brazilians are always neutral.
As a Brazillian myself, we are very open about how much we hate it here.

Morei em Tóquio 2 anos e concordo totalmente com as meninas, viver no Japão é muito mais conveniente, seguro e você não precisa ser rico para ter uma condição de vida boa.
mas vc n achava eles mto esquizo? eu como descendente acho eles tão esquizos pelo q eu vejo.. cultural e socialmente falando
com certeza é muito mais seguro e vc pode comprar praticamente qlq tecnologia com um salario minimo, mas não é conveniente msm kkk , alem de que pra morar bem e comer bem vc precisa ganhar mais do que um salario médio no brasil, fora a pressão social e convivio dia a dia.. a não ser que vc nasça no país ou seja muito cabeça aberta pra se acostumar a isso não vale a pena morar por la
@@vmvm949 isso é meio que óbvio, não é? Do mesmo jeito que tu acha eles esquisitos, eles também vão te achar esquisito kkkk afinal, existe um mundo inteiro separando a cultura.
Eu já vi muitas reportagens sobre o Japão. Dizem que não precisa ser rico para ter uma vida boa lá, mas já vi muitos japoneses vivendo em casas e apartamentos minusculos que inteiras não dão o tamanho do meu quarto, e olha que não sou rico no brasil.
Dizem que lá é mais seguro, mas vivem em um perigo eminente dos terremotos e tsunamis! Sem contar as ameaças exteriores de um ditador maluco norte-coreano com poder nuclear que não gosta muito do Japão. Já no Brasil o maior perigo são dois caras pés de chinelo armados numa moto, nada mais que isso.

Lot of Japanese in Brazil and some in other South American countries, they go a couple of generations back to workers from Japan who came over to make money and some settled. One of my best friends is Japanese/Brazilian that returned to Japan to work in Tokyo, the differences are subtle to a Japanese person who was born in Japan but there are there. She's more confident and outgoing than most Japanese women, she's warm and brings everyone in the room together to become friends. I find a lot of native Japanese to be a bit more standoffish and introverted, they don't open up very easily even after knowing you a long time.
japanese of brazil>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>japanese of japan. there is no value befriending someone in japan. unlike in brazil
I once dated a native jaoanese girl, in one and a half year she wouldnt open herself to me, so i broke up. It's hard, dudes
São Paulo in Brazil is where most Japanese people are outside of Japan.
Brazil is the #1 country where most japanese people live outside Japan and also Japan has a huge Brazilian community.
most japanese workers that came to Brazil didn't intend to settle at all but they were paid so poorly they did not have the means to go back
Karina said everything, to live well in Brazil you need to be rich. As a Brazilian/Japanese that is living in Saitama now, I say that in Japan you can live easily
it's not exactly like you have to be rich, i'm middle class brazilian and i live well
I study at a private school, I live in an apartment with two bedrooms and a balcony, I have a video game, a computer, streaming services, etc.
And all this with my mother working as a secretary and my father working as a merchant (common street stores)
Obviously we do have certain difficulties, such as: we don't have a car, we don't eat meat every day and we don't go for tours as often but it's okay.I can live perfectly like this
But as you said life in Japan is certainly simpler and easier
@@legendaslegendadas8966 Yes, when I was living in Brazil, my family's house was middle class too and lived well. But what I meant was if someone would be living alone in Brazil, since it's more likely the case for people that come to Japan for work. I at least don't think I could live well alone in Brazil unless a job paid at least 2000~3000 a month

Hi...
In Japan living almost 300k brazilians nikkeys now. Must they 100% japanese (no mix with foreing people).
Im brazilian original married with nissei, live for 11 years in Nagoya,Tokyo a long time ago.
Love Japan and your culture, some japaneses are so good people ,learn with Yamada sam my factory partner (is no more with us, miss that guy).
I know as the life is hard and as some thing in Japan are complicate for gaijins, but Japan can't forget the love and respect from this people (I know some then bring problems).
Wherever only one thing, Japan need open his mind to receive well all.
Thanks for your time...see you
Japanese culture and Brazilian culture are both our Origins. For exemplo my mother's is a "Nisei" and her first language was nihongo. As a little child, she knows almost nothing about Brazilian culture until she entred at regular Brazilian shogako. Japanese culture was the world she knew at that time, and of course she passed me a litlle bit about that.
she wouldn't want to befriend any foreigners
japanese ladies like with me JAPAN are not honest , outgoing and naturtal at all. i am sure she would refuse to befriend forezign people

I’ll never forget talking to a ‘Korean’ lady in Tokyo. She told me she was Korean, I asked where in Korea she was born, she said Tokyo. I asked where her parents or grandparents were born, she said Tokyo. I asked if she’d been to Korea, and she said no. Her parents and grandparents hadn’t either…
My Japanese friend said “it must be nice that you can live in Japan”. I said “not really mate, she’s a second class citizen in her own country. She’s not even allowed a Japanese passport and she barely knows any Korean”.
The attitudes of people all over the world to 2nd, 3rd and 4th generation immigrants is appalling.
@kalam she said she had to say she was Korean because she wasn’t Japanese. She doesn’t speak Korean, she’s never been to Korean yet Japanese people call her Korean hence she does too.
If you are born in a country you are from that country. Simple.
@kalam She wasn’t a foreigner living in Japan, she is Japanese, only speaks Japanese and has never been to Korea, yet is told she is Korean and isn’t allowed to be Japanese. She isn’t Korean that has lived in Japan for 20 years, she’s never bloody been anywhere else, she is Japanese. Not sure how you can’t read my comment…
@@lil-g4879 You dont know what you are talking about so let me explain it to you. Koreans born in Japan can get Japanese citizenship if they apply for it. They choose not to though and retain their Korean citizenship. Even though they are not Japanese citizens, they cannot get deported for committing crimes and their legal resident status is unique as their kids automatically receive the same status and rights when they are born as well. They are also afforded the right to use a Japanese name in Japan for legal and official purposes so its basically impossible to know if they are Korean or not. So its basically more advantageous for them to keep their Korean citizenship as they are basically citizens of both Japan and Korea. If they choose Japanese citizenship they have to stay in Japan forever without the option of going to Korea. In any case, there are many Koreans who have received Japanese citizenship and willingly discarded their Korean identity. Its a choice to have or not to have Japanese citizenship.
@@bardgold4553 I know exactly what I am talking about. Where did I mention anything other than the perception of Japanese people when they look at people of Korean descent and how Zainichi have to identify themselves because they are marginalised in Japan. Read what I said again. Get your head out of your backside and realise that they are the victims not the problem. But like most (I’m guessing you’re Japanese) it’s always the immigrant’s fault…
@@lil-g4879 you said they are treated as 2nd class citizens. If they want to be treated as real Japanese then they can easily get Japanese citizenship. If they choose to retain their Korean nationality and are treated as foreigner why is that surprising. If their nationality is not Japanese then they are not Japanese. If they are are Japanese nationality then they are Japanese. Explain what the issue is? If they identify as Japanese shouldnt they give up their Korean nationality so they can obtain Japanese citizenship?

I grew up in the United States, but have a Brazilian background like many of the people you interviewed. A friend of mine that worked in Japan for many years always told me to present myself as an American whenever doing business with Japanese. Americans are usually looked at as equal, whereas Brazilian are seen as factory and low skilled workers. Not sure if it's true, but this conversation came back after watching the videos.
It depends on the person more so than nationality. Japanese people will judge you by social class, education, mannerism, or civility. In reality, some of the Brazilians in Japan have neck/arm tattoos like gangs, they walk and talk and dress like narcos, and are often arrested for car-jacking, looting, shoplifting, drugs, murder etc. At the same time, there are many educated and cultured Nikkei-Brazilian bankers, doctors, professors, lawyers, IT engineers, musicians, school teachers, etc. The latter group will be appreciated and treated with respect in Japan. The former will be treated with disgust and disgrace.
It's interesting how the first girl only spent 6 years in Brazil, yet she speaks English with a beautiful Brazilian accent.
It is a nice topic to talk about , as a Japanese Brazilian myself ! Thanks for sharing and bringing interesting talkings , Takashi !
Hi Takashi. How are you? I'll repeat a comment I made in a previous video. Here in Brazil we have much respect for Japan. The education, culture, discipline and way of life of the Japanese people leave us full of admiration! Thanks for sharing this amazing vídeo! Have a good week!

as a Brazilian I am flattered to have a video related to my country, we have a lot of respect and affection for the Japanese people, your story of dexterity and union enchants us, I live in Curitiba in Brazil and here I have many friends of Japanese descent, and we are very proud of that, in Japan to cities full of Brazilians, immigration to my country of Japanese was one of the biggest, we have many descendants, some studies say that in Brazil more than 6 million descendants and children of Japanese, Japanese culture is rooted in our hearts, I hope one day to be part of these Brazilians who managed to live in Japan and acquire such an enriching experience, thank you very much for the video
@@Slyj you are completely wrong, of course there are prejudiced people, as in any part of the world, but they are a minority compared to those who really have great respect and compassion for the asian people
@@Idk-dm9zg To see how Brazilians hate the Japanese, see the comments, Brazilians love Japan 😸🇧🇷💕🇯🇵
@@Idk-dm9zg tbh it's not literal hate but there are some bad stuff
@@Slyj Where did you hear this info? In USA the racism against asians is huge, especially after Covid where people there started attacking asians blaming them for the virus, you would never see anything like that in Brazil.
Here in Brazil asians has a very good image, people find japanese culture very interesting (a lot of people likes manga, anime, japanese fight, japanese food, japanese language) and likes their behavior, thinks they are hardworking and studious people.
The most disrespectful thing against asians in Brazil would be some few people that makes jokes about their accent and wide-eyes, it used to happen more in the past, now people started to see how wrong it is to make jokes about the appearance of others. But even these jokes are not made because of hate, it is just the bad brazilian behavior to make fun of everything. The black people in Brazil are the ones that suffer hate and strong discrimination.
@@Slyj no. It's from US lol. We are being attacked in the streets here because of COVID
Source: I'm an Asian born in US
P.S. It is not ALL bad... it's just there are a lot of really either ignorant or racist people in my area.
Com certeza, a vida é muito maluca 🥰 loved this kind of long interview, it felt like a casual conversation and wish u could maybe adapt this format onto ur channel takashii
CONGRATULATIONS Takashii !!! Your channel is improving with every theme you wisely explore! In Brazil there is a huge Japanese community formed after the end of II World War . In São Paulo downtown, there are an Oriental neighborhood called Liberdade, also, a famous Japan House São Paulo.
Brasil é como se fosse mãe de todos
Os japoneses foram para o Brasil pra fugir da guerra
Os ucranianos também
E muitos outros povos ... 😊
I am brazilian and I live in Argentina, just by the way Karina speaks english and express herself, you can tell she is very brazilian. And the last guy, also has a very argentine way of expressing himself. Where you grew up, really affects the way you speak other languages.
Na verdade ele ficou chocado com o fato de ela ter tantos amigos. A gente sabe, por depoimentos dos próprios japoneses, que eles são muito fechados e o quanto é difícil fazer amigos nessas cidades superpopulosas. Brasileiro é diferenciado... e desenrolado !! 😁🤣🤣🤣🤣👍🥰🥰
Fun fact: Japanese don’t consider real Japanese to a full Japanese who was born in South America, even though their whole family came from Japan. Yeah, Japanese are like that.
Where is the fun of this fact?! 😅
As a Brazilian (but of Italian descent, so I'm not Japanese), this video is extremely trippy to watch
I have Japanese-Brazilian friends, and I know a lot of Japanese people live in Brazil
but like, something feels so surreal watching the people in this video speak english, but one in a more japanese accent, and another in a portuguese accent
Crikey, this is really fascinating
the japanese of japan are much less kind and honest than the ones in brazil
os japoneses no japão são muito menos gentis e honestos do que os japoneses no brasil
I was waiting for this one since I found this chanel. I am a brasilian and I lived many years in a famous Japanese town name Liberdade(which means freedom) in Sao Paulo City in Brazil, actually since I was born till my teens. I even bought a condo over there. For this reason I have been loving the culture since I was a little girl 🤗 Today I live in Europe and I miss my asian little town and it's people ❤
I never realized so many Japanese Brazilians were out there, their cultures seem to be at complete opposite ends but the people are really beautiful and interesting to know. I do hope i get the chance to visit either country some day ☺️
This channel how shown me that there's quite the mix in Japan
Takashi san, as a Brazilian I loved this interview! Please keep doing these amazing videos 💕
Thanks for covering this topic, I'm also a Japanese Brazilian, lived in Japan for 3 years, from 2003 to 2006 in Aichi prefecture, and I intend to return to Japan someday.
love your video!!! Felt good watching brazilians over there, i think this is the first video about it, really nice!
I plan to travel to Tokyo, and i love your channel, thanks Takashii!
Sending good vibes from Brazil!!
Great interviews. They feel much more natural when you're both speaking the languages you are more comfortable with
Quando a Natalia falou mudou total a vibe! A vibe familiar brasileira 😂❤
A simpatia é inseparável do português brasileiro 🤪
First of all, I'm very happy you interviwed brazilians, nice video, Takashi.
In São Paulo there are a lot of japanese descendants, two friends of mine returned to Japan to earn more money in the factories and one of them bought an awesome car, probably here in Brazil he would take longer to buy one like that, the second girl is totally right. Also, Brazil is a nice country to visit there are many beautiful places, but living is sometimes difficult, if you aren't rich, probably you'll have some problems at times, she's right again.
Isso vai da realidade de cada um pra uns tô falando pobre não é tão difícil viver aqui já pra outros é
I was expecting a video related with my country for a long time. Thanks Takashi-san. Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷🇯🇵
4:05 A Natália não disse, mas pelo sotaque ela é paulista, ou mais precisamente "paulistana". aquele "vinte anos" foi bem paulistano.
aqle é o 20 anos normal nn eh só paulista que fala assim
A grande maioria dos descendentes de japoneses são de São Paulo, então é bem provável que seja independente do sotaque.
São Paulo recebeu mais de 70% dos japoneses que vieram ao Brasil, hoje são cerca de 1 milhão e meio em São Paulo, o segundo estado com maior número é o Paraná com cerca de 300 mil, nos demais estados não passa de 100 mil em nenhum.
@@matheusdias229 Discordo, a nasalição entrega na mesma hora...
This is a really great channel. Once I told you guys it would be nice to hear about Nipo-Brazilian people and here a video about that precisely. 👍😊
This is soo cool! I’m Brazilian and I was born and raised in Japan, it’s very interesting to hear about other’s experience. (: +1 Subscriber 💙
Takashi, come to Brazil!
I think you should have asked a few more specific questions like:
- What generation are you?
- Are you mixed?
- Do you feel like you are treated differently when people learn you are Japanese/mixed Japanese from abroad?
- What's the reason you came/came back to Japan?
As a 4th generation half Japanese half Brazilian I related to almost nothing in the video.
I was born in Brazil and lived in Canada and I'm now in Japan to work and experience life here.
Two reasons ALL the Nikkei usually share is to "learn about our roots" and make money.
Hope you take this feedback and ask them on your next video.
Thanks for making the video though.
Não acredito que achei você aqui kkkk
Why couldn't you relate? It was just simple questions, that one girl wasn't asked about her mixing but she told about it anyway. If you go to some countryside people can look a lot like a 4th generation so you will mingle, if u actually don't look like them, they probably can't even look at you properly cuz most of them are pratically blind grandpas
PS: sorry for ruining your 69 likes
@@deivisony It's hard to answer that, but they could have been better questions
Oh don't worry lol tranquilo
what do u mean by fourth generation ? like is ur whole family brazilian / japanese that far back or r they both generally mixed ?
@@kaydkaydkayd 1st generation are my great grandparents who moved from Japan to Brazil
2nd generation are the sons of immigrants, second generation Japanese
3rd generation are the grandchildren of immigrants, third generation Japanese
4th generation are the great grandchildren of immigrants, fourth generation Japanese
All married other Japanese immigrant descendants, but I'm my case I'm mixed, other families mix as early as the second generation, others are still full Japanese and so on
As a brazilian and lover of japanese culture and language, I really liked this video! Please, interview more latin people that live in Japan!
日本語が大好きです!
Amazing hearing such distinctly Brazilian accent in the second girl! And both of the girls spoke such perfect Portuguese!
Que vídeo legal, achei muito interessante. Aqui no Brasil temos uma das maiores comunidades japonesas do mundo, com o nosso país tendo fortes laços culturais com o Japão, assim como também temos muitos brasileiros vivendo hoje no país. Abraços do Brasil amigos 🇧🇷🇯🇵
This was very interesting Takashii. You can get lots of amazing stories from people with international/binational background, and they were not the exception. The last guy speaks with the Argentinian accent which is very cool hehe
Greetings from Ecuador. Looking forward to visiting Japan soon 😊👍 keep up the amazing content
I love your videos!
Thanks for sharing Japan with us!
Greetings from Brazil!! 🇧🇷
Really nice interview! I'm Brazilian and it was interesting to notice how the girls changed their personality (they seemed less shy) when they switched to Portuguese
As an aside.
I heard from a Philippine friend there are a few Japanese brazilians who are active in Filipino entertainment industry.especially Daniel Matsunaga is popular !!
a pronuncia do inglês deles é muito facil de entender para um brasileiro q tb fala inglês, achei impressionante ;^;
if anyone is wondering both girls are speaking with a noticeable São Paulo city accent, that's where most of the Japanese brazilian community is and they are probably both from there. There is also a lot of Japanese descendents in the southern states, which have a similar accent, so they could be from there to, like from Porto Alegre maybe
Southen states have a similar accent to São Paulo accent? smh, Southish should be called another dialect
I am brazilian and lived in Japan 2005 ~2007 working in factories. In 2016 I got married with the intention of bringing my Brazilian wife and living in Japan. We didn't do that and I regret it, because Brazil is a real madness to live in today.
living in japan to work hard endlessly and living liker a clone isn't a better idea either
@@maegalroammis6020 At least it's easier to have a better standard of living and far, far less likely to be a victim of heinous as well as petty crimes.
Nice content! I am Brazilian too, living in Gifu prefecture. Around 1M of Japanese/Nikkeis live in Brazil.
Takashii your channel has become one of my favorite ones. I found it recently and what you do is very powerful. I spent 14 years in Japan as a Peruvian nikkei and there is a huge barrier between the cultures and for foreigners living in Japan it can be so isolating.
You are opening a bridge for different cultures in Japan to understand each other better! Please never stop!
man your interviews are really interesting and good, as me who likes japanese culture is nice watching this kind of content, greetings from argentina takashi
I'm from Brazil and have been watching you for a long time, so it's really cool to see you make a video like this, I got pretty surprised. Take care, Takashii!
As a Brazilian I was waiting so long for this video, I always feel like LATAM is kinda forgotten on this type of interview. Um grande abraço Takashii!
Eu acho ate bom, pq sempre quando falam do brasil ou da América latina, só sao estereótipos nojentos
LATAM?
aquela marca de avião?
@@GeovanniGames LATAM = Latin America
Natalia and Karina both had Brazilian accents when speaking English, são BR na veia
Wow! TAKASHii's English has improved so much since this video.
These interviews are very interesting, Takashii. Thank you for posting them.
Damn, i'm Brazilian and i watch this channel for a while, thanks so much!
That was interesting, I'm a brazilian and I always have seen the videos by the people from here about the japan, it's nice seeing a video on the other side.
Your content is great man, keep going. I see that your channel it's growing fast too, that's awesome.
you should pay someone from fiverrr to put make portuguese subtitles this video will explode
This channel is awesome. I will watch all the videos. I'm Brazilian by the way. Love Japan culture.
I enjoyed this video because the people you interviewed sounded quite honest. I guess you allowed that so thank you for being impartial. 😊
Se ela lançasse um "A vida é loka, nêgo E nela eu tô de passagem" eu batia palma.
Nice video!
As south americans, we love to see our beautiful culture and people contributing with their experiences to your video, we feel represented, especially brazilians!
Brazil has the biggest international nikkei community and the japanese culture is so vivid in certain places in Brazil (i.e Liberdade/SP and Assaí/PR), it would be nice to see more brazilian related content in your channel.
Keep the good work, your videos are interesting and amazing!
🇧🇷 ❤
amei o vídeo! inclusive gostei do comentário da karina quando ela falou sobre ser tímida, pois aqui no brasil você sempre tem a sensação que todos são extrovertidos, com muitos amigos, que falam alto e estão sempre em festas. wwww
Viva a lusofonia. De nada serve ser reconhecido e respeitado como povo se o próprio idioma é deixado de lado . É como deixar de ser brasileiro.
Mas cada um faz o que quer da própria vida . Minha parte faço e muitos estrangeiros já aprenderam português comigo e tem outra visão sobre nosso povo .
@@robertoprimordial2633você parece um idiota escrevendo isso. Todo coment que eu vou ver você manda isso
My mom is a Japanese from Kumamoto, my dad is a second generation of Japanese-Brazilian and I was born in Japan but moved to Canada when I was 6. lol Thanks for the video! Greeting from Canada~~~!
I like this channel! Subbed!
