Really agree with the German lady about collectivism in Japan vs individualism in the West. Oh what a difference that makes. Great job bro, looking forward to more of your videos!
Ummm but the west is becoming full on collective communist now and it’s literally called group think. You have to agree with the mob or you’re an “...ist” etc. Japan now let’s people do whatever they want and there’s no rule to get the jab and you’re not allowed to discriminate people who didn’t take the jab. Both worlds have switched roles. There are no protest in japan because they aren’t needed when the government isn’t forcing rules and abusing power.
@@yuukimasamura5143 That's all from the UN. The propaganda is astronomical. With that said, Japan is Collectivist not Group Think. Collectivist is at least FUNCTIONAL whereas Group Think is Dysfunctional. A good biology quote: "Humans are 80% Chimpanzee and 20% Social Insect". It explains a lot about human nature.
@@yuukimasamura5143 the government isn't forcing rules because Japanese people were willing to be vaccinated. The citizens were actually critical of the late vaccination rollout. Now, they have one of the highest rates of vaccination among developed countries. I live in a Western country that doesn't mandate vaccination either and the population has also a high rate of vaccination, because people were willing to be vaccinated early on, and no protest has ever taken place about it. Japanese collectivism isn't only about what the system enforces but about mentality.
Now that I just started learning Japanese, I find really motivating to hear foreigners speak japanese so fluently, even though their mother language has huge differences with it (mine is spanish and I've heard that pronunciation is really similar with Japanese, so it should be easier (?)). Thank you for the great content, hopefully when I'm there I'll be the one being interviewed? Hehehehe Keep it up, great content!
I'm from the Czech Republic and it's stated that czech and japanese are so, so similar to each other! Buuuut there goes kanji and stuff, the only difficult thing many can't go through. It'd be so easier if japanese were using the same written system as the ( almost ) rest of the world - or using japanese system ( katakana, hiragana, kanji ) and then re-written system for foreigners pretty much everywhere, at every sign - it's possible, I live at the borded with Poland and we are using such a system with czech and polish.
I am learning Japanese now and the phonetic sounds is easy for my ear to hear. My mother was Japanese but I didn't want to learn Japanese seriously until this year, 30 years after she passed away. I now regret that my younger self was stupid and didn't realize the value of learning Japanese much more fluently while my mother was alive. At that time,I could understand a some words and speak a few phrases. Now I am learning to speak it, read it and starting to write Hiragana and Katakana. I also tried a few lessons in Spanish on Duolingo and it was SO HARD! Hahaha, I'm so not used to the sounds. I think I'll focus on Japanese first and not try to do Japanese and Spanish at the same time. English is my native language.
I find your reactions really funny sometimes, like you are genuinely surprised by some of their answers! I found your channel yesterday and it's really interesting, keep up the nice work 👍
Today I interviewed about differences between Japan and other countries. They all said everything is different. I think there’s no country like Japan in a good way or bad way. People, education, culture, work… But I think it’s all connected. Like people in Japan are polite and calm and don’t express their feelings because of their culture. Japanese culture shows a virtue of not expressing feelings. Anyway thank you for watching. Please please please subscribe !!!
Awesome Topic and Interview. In fact , all your Questions and Topics are Interresting. Your English is very good imo. Only that you are really hard to understand . So even the automatic captions dont help . Try it out. watch your video with english captions,- you´ll see. There is room for pronounciation training😁 . But I want you to make more Videos!!! This is good stuff man😎👍 Greetings from Germany
I think it is the same in Asian countries, in my country Indonesia, it is also the same, namely not expressing feelings directly, because in order to avoid conflict, it is better to express what makes people happy.

I would like to see an interview with Japanese people about Asian westerners (Asian Americans?), and if they're aware of any of the Asian stereotypes and how we're presented in western countries from these things. I like this video, it was very relaxing to watch. :D
Oh man this is a really great idea for an interview question. To find out what the export of Asian American stereotypes communicates to people loving in Japan, I am so interested.
@@KristopherBel Yes! I've always wondered what they thought of us Asian westerns, and also if they're aware of any of those stereotypes non-Asians have about Asian westerners and if Japanese people are aware of such things. Like I'm half Chinese and the other half Southeast Asian, I've been asked if I've eaten dog before. :/ While I think it is appropriate to ask Chinese people if they are aware of such an offensive question in their country, I wonder if any Japanese people are aware of these kinda stereotypes as well. I hardly see an Asian American perspective when it comes to asking westerners. Heck, if I was old enough and even decided to live in Japan, I would love to have an interview talking about these things.
@@KristopherBel I also don't know if my message was clear enough for Takashi because I don't know if his latest video is what I requested or related by my answer, I hope it wasn't too confusing to read lol.
Love your videos, I'd love to be able to come to Japan at some point. Seeing people from America, Europe,... being able to speak japanese is really motivating.
So cool to see Tunisian, in this Video, I am Half Tunisian Half Moroccan. 🇲🇦🇹🇳 Yes we do have flat roofs in Tunisia their really nice since in the summer you can hang your clothes to dry, or sit down and enjoy some tea outside ❤❤
I haven't been in Japan myself, but as much as I have learned about the country, I would say that Japan differs from my country most with hierarchy, collectivism and hiding your emotions or thoughts if they are in contradiction with others. I live in Finland, and Finland and Japan has been thought of being somewhat similar - people are a bit reserved, their languages are odd and quite difficult to learn, both countries have high technological level etc. But Finnish people are brutally honest, if we say something we really mean it and also expect that from others (which causes funny things abroad). In Finland the hierarchy is low. The formal addressing to your discussion partner is vanishing from Finnish language and younger generations usually don't know how to do it correctly. There are no school uniforms, and firms don't usually have dress codes. You can speak in friendly informal manners with you boss. Obvious empty flattering is considered very tacky and the person doing so is labelled untrustworthy. Belonging to a group is not that important, for example workmates are not necessarily people you spend time with outside office hours. Actually many want to keep their work and private life separate, friends are sought elsewhere. You can spend time with your birth family if you like them, but Finnish families are not that tight as in many other countries - grandparents almost never live with their children and grandchildren, relatives might meet each other only in weddings or funerals, if even there. Marrying couples rather want to invite their friends to their weddings instead of relatives they have hardly met. I have understood that your boss is very important guest in a Japanese wedding, but in Finland you invite your boss only if you really are friends with him/her.
I really liked the guy from Tunisia and thought he had some really good insights. If I ever get to Shibuya I will check out his kebab shop. All great interviews Takashi, thank you.
Difference between my country is definitely that Japanese cities are more segmented into sectioned themes. Like if I want to buy music, I go to an area within Tokyo where90% all the shops sell music (Ochanomizu), and if I want to buy clothes, there's an area for that too(Harajuku), and if I want to buy a lamp, I can find a street where 90% of the shops sells lamps. if I want to buy electronics, I can head to Akihabara cause 90% of the shops there are electronics. I found that very interesting.
@@IoIocaust nyc also used to have Garnmet district which had streets to get fabrics, meat packing district where to get meats, Fulton fish Market area to get fish, and the village to get records etc..
Thank you for doing these videos. 😊 It is inspiring for me to hear foreigners speak Japanese fluently. I am in the novice stage of learning Japanese. I started in June this year. I hope to travel to Japan within 5 or 6 years and be able to have simple conversations and read some food packages & signs and things like that.
Hello. I really like your channel. I would love to see you interviewing Japanese people about their opinion of the big number of great Japanese female rock bands from the last years. I'm a big a fan, and we even have a whatsapp group of Nemophila and Lovebites fans from Spain and South America.
@@Diamond-by1dl yay that:s fabulous! I:m glad she:s sharing the culture and mannerisms ! I:m married to a Japanese guy so I also am familiar with the culture too and it:s matching me as well! The Japanese are mostly very kind and helpful ! of course I've experienced a few creepy ones but I would say the majority is kind and helpful !
I’m from U.K. and learned Japanese using phrase book and music initially. Then I tried to speak with Japanese people where I was living. The main difference I find between U.K. and Japan is level of service. For example Japan considers a train late at 5 minutes (and average delay for trains is just under 1 minute), whereas U.K. consider a train to be delayed if it’s more than 15 minutes late. I couldn’t even find the average delay for trains in U.K. Japanese have pride in their work whereas British have a limit.
I grew up in China. I appreciated western world a lot from the movies and the books. I have been in the United States for 20 years. Guess what, I appreciated eastern world a lot more. But I do not regret. I appreciate the experience. I foresee that you will experience for yourself. Best luck to you!
I'm from El Salvador and I'm currently living in Japan, but what you mention about the trains in the UK comes as a shock to me, because brits are used as a reference for punctuality for us, like we would say "Salvadorean time or english time?" which means having a little 15 min delay or being seriously punctual.
Thank you for your wonderful videos. I am learning much by watching them. I would love for you to interview contestants of Sasuke, especially the all-stars, who compete year after year. This contest is enjoyed all around the world and learning more about it and those who participate would be interesting.
Love your videos Takashii. You are so natural with People and its wonderful to see a man on the street style video where everyone talks so opening and freely.
Wow hey it is the best way to know about the peoples feelings and what's running into their mind. It will be helpful for those, who are planning to live in abroad and it get them a idea..
Ive been watching your channel as a point of interest as i was hoping to visit japan in a years time. Interesting to hear many people perspective of japanese culture and wonderful to hest foreigners learn Japanese. The last girl you interviewed from Germany happened to train Muay Thai with her in Thailand who has had a handfull of pro fights, A model that kicks butt!!
As a German I had to get used to, not telling my Japanese friends directly that they did something wrong. They were a bit shocked how direct I approached them about mistakes
Same experience in China. I accidentally made some of my colleagues cry in my first year, which my friends back home literally would not believe since no one sees me as confrontational or unreasonable here. It takes several years to learn how to navigate the concepts of face and guanxi gracefully while still accomplishing what you need to do in a reasonable amount of time. Even if you master it, you have to deal with the Chinese not applying their own standard to you since you are a foreigner (even though you made the effort for them).
I will actually be enrolling in Japanese language courses next semester at my university because I plan to attend one of our partner universities in Japan, your channel has been very informative, keep up the great content!
Im Dutch and I literally don’t know anything about Japanese but this really motivates me to learn Japanese so I might as well try :) These videos are really interesting so keep up the good work! Well done :))
Compared to most of western countries, the good differences from Japan: people are polite and clean. Places are clean and safe. people take care of communal places, such as parks and gardens. the bad differences: very strict social standards. people can be way too reserved and not so open minded. After a moment in japan you can feel how people don't show their real self most of the times (even when they are nice and polite), and this can be very uncomfortable in a social interaction basis.
I was a teenager when i came to the states. The biggest difference I noticed was how friendly everyone was. My family moved to California from Okinawa. I didn't know anyone but when my Junior started i met more and more friends. The other differences were travelling. On Okinawa you could only drive 63 miles if you started in the southern tip and drove to the northern tip. In america you can drive and drive and drive and drive for ever. I love travelling.
I recently subscribed to your channel and I love it, each video gives me an idea about Japan culture, people, work, school, etc. In the future I wish to travel there and know much more. Greetings from Chile
Subscribed, wonderful content! They were all interesting but I particularly enjoyed the Tunisian viewpoint. It’s very illuminating! Please keep up the great work.
Dear Takashii San, I love your videos it always has good content,full of knowledge. My concern is you always choose European people and American people, I don't mind but it Nice to have some Pakistani,Indian, Nepali and Sri Lankan people too. To know their point of view. Thank you
I have heard lots of Indians also live in Japan... I have seen Durga Puja(biggest Bengali festival) helding in Tokyo in tv and lots of Japanese were also participating with the NRIs ... I don't know much about them... But would definitely would like to see you interview any Indians one day... Take love from India❤️
I've never been to Japan but just from watching different videos and anime and whatnot, one of the biggest differences (and correct me if I'm wrong) is basically work attitude. From what I've heard, in Japan, for most jobs working late and overtime is something that is expected and vacations aren't very common. Here in the US, once their shift ends it seems like they completely check out of work and shut down. Same thing in schools. It's normal for students to go early to school and leave super late because of clubs and other activities. This is all info I've gathered from other sources, not personal experience so feel free to correct me if I'm wrong
we must definitely go to Japan in Tokyo, to do an interview with Takashi , as a Romanian 😄 it is a beautiful country ... dar nu chiar de vis , fiecare tara are problemele ei :))
Great video TAKASHiiさん! In my experience growing up in the Philippines, I may say that the difference between Japan and the Philippines, is the manner of following the rules. Filipinos tend to not follow the rules sometimes even if it's a simple rule, for instance, throwing garbage in a proper trash bin or container which 😆 unlike in Japan in my observation, the people there do follow rules and thus, I can say that they are a responsible and disciplined citizen which is one of the aspects that I like Japan 😁. Ps. My comment is just based on my opinion and experience and does not represent the whole Philippines or Filipinos. Peace out
lmaoo i lolled when the first girl was getting mad he said new york city and not new york state. im from new york city so i know how much influence and clout our city has compared to the state and how often we crowd out the rest of the state. i definitely get the feeling from talking to ppl from upstate or long island that they think we are too arrogant and self centrered to think about the rest of the state and so i completely understand it when people dont even acknowledge the rest of the state. its definitely a sore point for many
I think it’s common that people from upstate New York just know that they are from the countryside and don’t want someone to imagine one of the biggest cities in the world as their hometown. It paints the opposite picture of their upbringing is all. Imagine your town had 500 people total and maybe one gas station but someone thinks you are from New York City...
I have just subscribed to your channel 2 days before I made this comment (04/21/2022) and I am finding your interviews with people very interesting. I hope to visit Japan one day どうもありがとうございます!
10:03 How was it? It was good. You should have talked about more about how was your trip there and if she showed interest you could get her number to ask her out next time you go there.
Hi takashi, im new to ur channel. Bounce here after see ur channel appears on my listing. Btw im suggesting u try talk about Malaysia. Im pretty sure u will gain more follower. 👌
Hey Takashii, can you please make a video about what Japanese people think about foreigners with tattoos? ( I plan to visit Japan this year and I am curious about what they think) Thank you!
It is such a thing in Japan!? I didn't know 🤔. You see, he already has a video over that topic. (If RUclips is correctly showing it. You commented 3 days ago from today (23/1/22) and video is much older!)
@@scognizance3326 Thank you for the response, I saw the video about that topic, I was more curious about what they think on foreigners or if there is a difference for them or if they would avoid the foreigners just because of that.
Takashii, You are correct about convenient store. USA is going through problem right now because of covid. Most of us are glad that people are showing up to work. We accept poor customer service. Some say it has been brewing due to inequality in pay. That is a problem Japan has less of, so combine income inequality with individualism, that is how you end up with poor customer service. Thank you for reading. May us both have a good 2022.
I love your video. It's lovely and useful. To me, sometimes you pull the microphone too close to yourself while speaking... So there is a different volume between you and the guest which kinda hurt my ears a bit... If my commend can help you improve future videos, it will be my pleasure. Looking forward for more!
@@skad2485 english is pretty close to Portuguese so I think that made it easier, but I like English since high school, so I knew some stuff already bcs we "learn" at school
You might want to ask this every month to get answers from people from other countries. I've been in Japan a long time but don't speak Japanese cause I spent most of my time teaching English and only had English teachers as friends but now because of COVID I'm out of work and just stay home where we all speak English.
Why, oh why, has no-one commented on Takashii changing his right-side-parting to left-side-parting often multiple times during the video?!! And also, surely those "crows" deserve a mention providing the customary, background "music"? The Tunisian on the question of subjective time, it is a theme of supreme relevance to human life! I am not sure a life should be so rushed but equally, a sense of urgency about death helps focus the mind on the present, also.
Can you make videos on Muslims living there in Japan? We usually have a bad image of being bad people, and I want to learn how Muslims live there and cope with it.
As only a tourist, I really appreciated the politeness and good manners of Japanese people. It might be hard to break their shell and their manners might only be a front (they might think something about you which is the contrary of what they show) , but I appreciate the good manners, it's appeasing, I don't need stress and drama while travelling and meeting new people. And their good manners are not over the top, like North American friendliness which is also a front. I do love the chaos I have found in other Asian countries too though . If you travel through Asia, start with the chaotic areas & people, enjoy the fun mess, then go to Japan to rest your mind 😀😁

Really agree with the German lady about collectivism in Japan vs individualism in the West. Oh what a difference that makes. Great job bro, looking forward to more of your videos!
I totally agree with her and you !
Ummm but the west is becoming full on collective communist now and it’s literally called group think. You have to agree with the mob or you’re an “...ist” etc. Japan now let’s people do whatever they want and there’s no rule to get the jab and you’re not allowed to discriminate people who didn’t take the jab. Both worlds have switched roles. There are no protest in japan because they aren’t needed when the government isn’t forcing rules and abusing power.
@@yuukimasamura5143 That's all from the UN. The propaganda is astronomical.
With that said, Japan is Collectivist not Group Think. Collectivist is at least FUNCTIONAL whereas Group Think is Dysfunctional.
A good biology quote: "Humans are 80% Chimpanzee and 20% Social Insect". It explains a lot about human nature.
Thats pretty much asia vs the west
@@yuukimasamura5143 the government isn't forcing rules because Japanese people were willing to be vaccinated. The citizens were actually critical of the late vaccination rollout. Now, they have one of the highest rates of vaccination among developed countries. I live in a Western country that doesn't mandate vaccination either and the population has also a high rate of vaccination, because people were willing to be vaccinated early on, and no protest has ever taken place about it.
Japanese collectivism isn't only about what the system enforces but about mentality.
Now that I just started learning Japanese, I find really motivating to hear foreigners speak japanese so fluently, even though their mother language has huge differences with it (mine is spanish and I've heard that pronunciation is really similar with Japanese, so it should be easier (?)). Thank you for the great content, hopefully when I'm there I'll be the one being interviewed? Hehehehe
Keep it up, great content!
Hola amigo
I also heard the same thing. Actually when I was learning Japanese some word sound similar to Spanish word.
I'm from the Czech Republic and it's stated that czech and japanese are so, so similar to each other!
Buuuut there goes kanji and stuff, the only difficult thing many can't go through.
It'd be so easier if japanese were using the same written system as the ( almost ) rest of the world - or using japanese system ( katakana, hiragana, kanji ) and then re-written system for foreigners pretty much everywhere, at every sign - it's possible, I live at the borded with Poland and we are using such a system with czech and polish.
I am learning Japanese now and the phonetic sounds is easy for my ear to hear. My mother was Japanese but I didn't want to learn Japanese seriously until this year, 30 years after she passed away. I now regret that my younger self was stupid and didn't realize the value of learning Japanese much more fluently while my mother was alive. At that time,I could understand a some words and speak a few phrases. Now I am learning to speak it, read it and starting to write Hiragana and Katakana.
I also tried a few lessons in Spanish on Duolingo and it was SO HARD! Hahaha, I'm so not used to the sounds. I think I'll focus on Japanese first and not try to do Japanese and Spanish at the same time. English is my native language.
@@joanne231 I hope you succeed in your Japanese training! Good luck! How is it going now, 1 year later?
I find your reactions really funny sometimes, like you are genuinely surprised by some of their answers! I found your channel yesterday and it's really interesting, keep up the nice work 👍
Like when he was discussing roofs with the Tunisian guy! It was cool seeing him learn the logic behind roof shapes
Today I interviewed about differences between Japan and other countries.
They all said everything is different.
I think there’s no country like Japan in a good way or bad way.
People, education, culture, work…
But I think it’s all connected.
Like people in Japan are polite and calm and don’t express their feelings because of their culture.
Japanese culture shows a virtue of not expressing feelings.
Anyway thank you for watching.
Please please please subscribe !!!
Bro next time take Indian's Interview in Japan I Know in Japan Indian have one society
Awesome Topic and Interview. In fact , all your Questions and Topics are Interresting. Your English is very good imo. Only that you are really hard to understand . So even the automatic captions dont help . Try it out. watch your video with english captions,- you´ll see. There is room for pronounciation training😁 . But I want you to make more Videos!!! This is good stuff man😎👍 Greetings from Germany
I think it is the same in Asian countries, in my country Indonesia, it is also the same, namely not expressing feelings directly, because in order to avoid conflict, it is better to express what makes people happy.

Big fan from Thailand I'm old and haven't had a chance to travel. I love learning about different cultures. it's very interesting
I would like to see an interview with Japanese people about Asian westerners (Asian Americans?), and if they're aware of any of the Asian stereotypes and how we're presented in western countries from these things. I like this video, it was very relaxing to watch. :D
Your my property
@@servor3313 ??
Oh man this is a really great idea for an interview question. To find out what the export of Asian American stereotypes communicates to people loving in Japan, I am so interested.
@@KristopherBel Yes! I've always wondered what they thought of us Asian westerns, and also if they're aware of any of those stereotypes non-Asians have about Asian westerners and if Japanese people are aware of such things. Like I'm half Chinese and the other half Southeast Asian, I've been asked if I've eaten dog before. :/ While I think it is appropriate to ask Chinese people if they are aware of such an offensive question in their country, I wonder if any Japanese people are aware of these kinda stereotypes as well. I hardly see an Asian American perspective when it comes to asking westerners. Heck, if I was old enough and even decided to live in Japan, I would love to have an interview talking about these things.
@@KristopherBel I also don't know if my message was clear enough for Takashi because I don't know if his latest video is what I requested or related by my answer, I hope it wasn't too confusing to read lol.
ただトピックの質問を投げかけるだけじゃなくてしっかり会話してその人の背景を知れるのが日本人だけど楽しい。絶対にこれから登録者増えると思うので頑張ってください！

ABC Always Be Closing
Reminds me of Bitconnect
Love your videos, I'd love to be able to come to Japan at some point. Seeing people from America, Europe,... being able to speak japanese is really motivating.
dude I love your videos regarding FFL! didn't expect to see you here!
@@haVVk22 Thank you very much Cristian, I appreciate it !
I just love and adore how you let them advertise everything! you are such a good person! ❤❤
So cool to see Tunisian, in this Video, I am Half Tunisian Half Moroccan. 🇲🇦🇹🇳 Yes we do have flat roofs in Tunisia their really nice since in the summer you can hang your clothes to dry, or sit down and enjoy some tea outside ❤❤
I haven't been in Japan myself, but as much as I have learned about the country, I would say that Japan differs from my country most with hierarchy, collectivism and hiding your emotions or thoughts if they are in contradiction with others. I live in Finland, and Finland and Japan has been thought of being somewhat similar - people are a bit reserved, their languages are odd and quite difficult to learn, both countries have high technological level etc. But Finnish people are brutally honest, if we say something we really mean it and also expect that from others (which causes funny things abroad). In Finland the hierarchy is low. The formal addressing to your discussion partner is vanishing from Finnish language and younger generations usually don't know how to do it correctly. There are no school uniforms, and firms don't usually have dress codes. You can speak in friendly informal manners with you boss. Obvious empty flattering is considered very tacky and the person doing so is labelled untrustworthy. Belonging to a group is not that important, for example workmates are not necessarily people you spend time with outside office hours. Actually many want to keep their work and private life separate, friends are sought elsewhere. You can spend time with your birth family if you like them, but Finnish families are not that tight as in many other countries - grandparents almost never live with their children and grandchildren, relatives might meet each other only in weddings or funerals, if even there. Marrying couples rather want to invite their friends to their weddings instead of relatives they have hardly met. I have understood that your boss is very important guest in a Japanese wedding, but in Finland you invite your boss only if you really are friends with him/her.
ok
That sounds lovely imo
Finland sounds like heaven to me. The exact opposite of living in Arabia, that’s for sure.
I really liked the guy from Tunisia and thought he had some really good insights. If I ever get to Shibuya I will check out his kebab shop. All great interviews Takashi, thank you.
cute:3
It’s really interesting to see the differences in viewpoints. Great video!
I started watching the videos on your channel today and I'm really enjoying it. It's good to see the opinion of others
Thank you so much !
Can't wait to visit Japan one day ✌️🇯🇵
Your friend from Tunisia 🇹🇳
Me to! Btw I am half Tunisian and half Moroccan ❤❤❤🇲🇦🇹🇳
Difference between my country is definitely that Japanese cities are more segmented into sectioned themes. Like if I want to buy music, I go to an area within Tokyo where90% all the shops sell music (Ochanomizu), and if I want to buy clothes, there's an area for that too(Harajuku), and if I want to buy a lamp, I can find a street where 90% of the shops sells lamps. if I want to buy electronics, I can head to Akihabara cause 90% of the shops there are electronics. I found that very interesting.
I did not know this info abt Tokyo 😯 thnx for sharing !
This isn't unique to Japan, I live in NYC and it used to be like this over here too
@@BeeBee-pl9ly Yeah it's like that in Chinatown, lots of lighting shops on one street and laundromats on the other
@@IoIocaust nyc also used to have Garnmet district which had streets to get fabrics, meat packing district where to get meats, Fulton fish Market area to get fish, and the village to get records etc..
6:14 Takashii just realized what houses with triangles are for lol
I don't know how i found this channel but I love it
Thank you for doing these videos. 😊
It is inspiring for me to hear foreigners speak Japanese fluently. I am in the novice stage of learning Japanese. I started in June this year. I hope to travel to Japan within 5 or 6 years and be able to have simple conversations and read some food packages & signs and things like that.
Hello. I really like your channel. I would love to see you interviewing Japanese people about their opinion of the big number of great Japanese female rock bands from the last years. I'm a big a fan, and we even have a whatsapp group of Nemophila and Lovebites fans from Spain and South America.
Wonderful vlog Takashi!
Keep making such beautiful and interesting videos.
Lots of love from India 👍💖💖💖
Your videos are excellent. They are very informative. Your English is great, and you ask really good questions in your interviews.
The first lady, her personality so so Japanese. I love her so much!
I agree too ! Her mannerisms are quite polite and respectful !
@@CandiOsaka yeah! That’s one of my good friends and she’s super super involved in the culture, she’s taught me a lot!
@@Diamond-by1dl yay that:s fabulous! I:m glad she:s sharing the culture and mannerisms ! I:m married to a Japanese guy so I also am familiar with the culture too and it:s matching me as well! The Japanese are mostly very kind and helpful ! of course I've experienced a few creepy ones but I would say the majority is kind and helpful !
Watching your video from southeast asia❤️
I’m from U.K. and learned Japanese using phrase book and music initially. Then I tried to speak with Japanese people where I was living.
The main difference I find between U.K. and Japan is level of service. For example Japan considers a train late at 5 minutes (and average delay for trains is just under 1 minute), whereas U.K. consider a train to be delayed if it’s more than 15 minutes late. I couldn’t even find the average delay for trains in U.K. Japanese have pride in their work whereas British have a limit.
As a fellow Brit, I think I would love living in Japan.
Im Canadian and I consider public transportation late after 5 minutes
I grew up in China. I appreciated western world a lot from the movies and the books. I have been in the United States for 20 years. Guess what, I appreciated eastern world a lot more. But I do not regret. I appreciate the experience. I foresee that you will experience for yourself. Best luck to you!
I'm from El Salvador and I'm currently living in Japan, but what you mention about the trains in the UK comes as a shock to me, because brits are used as a reference for punctuality for us, like we would say "Salvadorean time or english time?" which means having a little 15 min delay or being seriously punctual.
In India a train supposed to be delayed if it is an houd late 🤣🤣🤣
今は日本語を勉強していますので、takashiiさんの動画はめっちゃいいと思います！無理なお願いなんですが、日本語の字幕をつけてくれば感謝です。
Thank you for your wonderful videos. I am learning much by watching them. I would love for you to interview contestants of Sasuke, especially the all-stars, who compete year after year. This contest is enjoyed all around the world and learning more about it and those who participate would be interesting.
Love your videos Takashii. You are so natural with People and its wonderful to see a man on the street style video where everyone talks so opening and freely.
I did not know you had a RUclips channel. I have been following you on Tiktok all these months.
10:10 Just loved the way he promptly answered his question before I had time to process it
Wow hey it is the best way to know about the peoples feelings and what's running into their mind. It will be helpful for those, who are planning to live in abroad and it get them a idea..
Ive been watching your channel as a point of interest as i was hoping to visit japan in a years time.
Interesting to hear many people perspective of japanese culture and wonderful to hest foreigners learn Japanese.
The last girl you interviewed from Germany happened to train Muay Thai with her in Thailand who has had a handfull of pro fights, A model that kicks butt!!
That Tunisian guy 😂😂😂
What you said at the end was very true. People in Japan have manners.
the new york state girl is pretty!
Please make interview about Southeast Asian people from Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia etc.
I love the New York bit at the start 😂
More interesting insights. I'm really glad I subscribed to this channel as I'm learning useful stuff for my eventual move.
As a German I had to get used to, not telling my Japanese friends directly that they did something wrong. They were a bit shocked how direct I approached them about mistakes
How do they get things done if that's a problem? 😐
@@Red-tn3wm im asking the same question? Aint nobody got time for dancin around sibjects
@@Red-tn3wm Things get done really slowly
This is something a lot of non-European/non-Americans, Canadians find culturally shocking about Europeans/Westerners.
Same experience in China. I accidentally made some of my colleagues cry in my first year, which my friends back home literally would not believe since no one sees me as confrontational or unreasonable here. It takes several years to learn how to navigate the concepts of face and guanxi gracefully while still accomplishing what you need to do in a reasonable amount of time. Even if you master it, you have to deal with the Chinese not applying their own standard to you since you are a foreigner (even though you made the effort for them).
Really love your content! Keep up your good work 👍 いつも面白いコンテントをいただきありがとうございます!!
I really like your channel, very interesting. I’m from Brazil.
🙋🏻♂️ Hello and konichiwa, Takashii. New subscriber here from Houston, Texas, USA. I’m loving your insights into your country. Arigatō gozimasū! 🇺🇸🤝🇯🇵
I will actually be enrolling in Japanese language courses next semester at my university because I plan to attend one of our partner universities in Japan, your channel has been very informative, keep up the great content!
Love your videos. Hope to be in one one day if i go to japan😝🤣
This was well done. Thank you.
Im Dutch and I literally don’t know anything about Japanese but this really motivates me to learn Japanese so I might as well try :)
These videos are really interesting so keep up the good work! Well done :))
I hope i can make an appearance in your videos as a foreigner in japan someday after pandemic!
the tunisian guy was wholesome and kind, i will go to his kebab shop for sure!
I like when at the end you ask them to speak Japanese, it's interesting to see their level lol
Compared to most of western countries,
the good differences from Japan: people are polite and clean. Places are clean and safe. people take care of communal places, such as parks and gardens.
the bad differences: very strict social standards. people can be way too reserved and not so open minded. After a moment in japan you can feel how people don't show their real self most of the times (even when they are nice and polite), and this can be very uncomfortable in a social interaction basis.
Takashii you are growing so quickly! Many congratulations 🎉
Takashi you’re killing it 🔥 keep up the great content.
I love this channel. I'm binging all your videos! I need to get back to Japan.. Hopefully they will suspend covid restrictions this year 😥
Brilliant series; well done!
I was a teenager when i came to the states. The biggest difference I noticed was how friendly everyone was. My family moved to California from Okinawa. I didn't know anyone but when my Junior started i met more and more friends. The other differences were travelling. On Okinawa you could only drive 63 miles if you started in the southern tip and drove to the northern tip. In america you can drive and drive and drive and drive for ever. I love travelling.
yeah, California are really friendly... try that in boston or new york lol
I recently subscribed to your channel and I love it, each video gives me an idea about Japan culture, people, work, school, etc.
In the future I wish to travel there and know much more.
Greetings from Chile
Interesting the experience sounds good ...
Subscribed, wonderful content!
They were all interesting but I particularly enjoyed the Tunisian viewpoint. It’s very illuminating! Please keep up the great work.
Your english is getting better. I suggest working on grammar so you can speak more fluently. Really supportive of your growing channel
Dear Takashii San, I love your videos it always has good content,full of knowledge. My concern is you always choose European people and American people, I don't mind but it Nice to have some Pakistani,Indian, Nepali and Sri Lankan people too. To know their point of view. Thank you
If you watch Takashii San’s videos much enough, he is actually having more and more people from the region you mentioned nowadays.
I have heard lots of Indians also live in Japan... I have seen Durga Puja(biggest Bengali festival) helding in Tokyo in tv and lots of Japanese were also participating with the NRIs ... I don't know much about them... But would definitely would like to see you interview any Indians one day... Take love from India❤️
I've never been to Japan but just from watching different videos and anime and whatnot, one of the biggest differences (and correct me if I'm wrong) is basically work attitude. From what I've heard, in Japan, for most jobs working late and overtime is something that is expected and vacations aren't very common. Here in the US, once their shift ends it seems like they completely check out of work and shut down. Same thing in schools. It's normal for students to go early to school and leave super late because of clubs and other activities. This is all info I've gathered from other sources, not personal experience so feel free to correct me if I'm wrong
Japan is the country of my dreams! I really wish that I could visit it someday (at the moment it is to expensive for me ).Greetings from Romania :)
we must definitely go to Japan in Tokyo, to do an interview with Takashi , as a Romanian 😄
it is a beautiful country
... dar nu chiar de vis , fiecare tara are problemele ei :))
very entertaining channel 👍
Great video TAKASHiiさん! In my experience growing up in the Philippines, I may say that the difference between Japan and the Philippines, is the manner of following the rules. Filipinos tend to not follow the rules sometimes even if it's a simple rule, for instance, throwing garbage in a proper trash bin or container which 😆 unlike in Japan in my observation, the people there do follow rules and thus, I can say that they are a responsible and disciplined citizen which is one of the aspects that I like Japan 😁.
Ps. My comment is just based on my opinion and experience and does not represent the whole Philippines or Filipinos. Peace out
Ohh, kabayan 😅 sana mag ask din sya sa mga pinoy dito sa japan 🤣🤣
@@maxcherlynblogstv3047 oo nga 😆
Another nice interview!
I really love your videos takashii!!!!
ありがとう
lmaoo i lolled when the first girl was getting mad he said new york city and not new york state. im from new york city so i know how much influence and clout our city has compared to the state and how often we crowd out the rest of the state. i definitely get the feeling from talking to ppl from upstate or long island that they think we are too arrogant and self centrered to think about the rest of the state and so i completely understand it when people dont even acknowledge the rest of the state. its definitely a sore point for many
I think it’s common that people from upstate New York just know that they are from the countryside and don’t want someone to imagine one of the biggest cities in the world as their hometown. It paints the opposite picture of their upbringing is all. Imagine your town had 500 people total and maybe one gas station but someone thinks you are from New York City...
The guy from Tunisia I'm totally agree with him cuz I'm from Egypt and we are both Arabian , thanks to share this info with us 👀💕
I have just subscribed to your channel 2 days before I made this comment (04/21/2022) and I am finding your interviews with people very interesting. I hope to visit Japan one day どうもありがとうございます!
Some day come to Los Angeles and interview us about Japan ❤️☺️
10:03 How was it? It was good. You should have talked about more about how was your trip there and if she showed interest you could get her number to ask her out next time you go there.
OMG girl from upstate NY seems so sweet!
Everyone would have different opinions and experiences ... but if I had the chance to experience japan ofc I would for many reasons ..
@02_Ximar Kina wth
this channe ls amazing. please keep it up!
Hi takashi, im new to ur channel. Bounce here after see ur channel appears on my listing. Btw im suggesting u try talk about Malaysia. Im pretty sure u will gain more follower. 👌
I like your videos👍🏻
Nice work 🔥🔥but try to ask about more their faith and what japenese think about Muslims
Hey Takashii, can you please make a video about what Japanese people think about foreigners with tattoos? ( I plan to visit Japan this year and I am curious about what they think) Thank you!
It is such a thing in Japan!? I didn't know 🤔. You see, he already has a video over that topic. (If RUclips is correctly showing it. You commented 3 days ago from today (23/1/22) and video is much older!)
@@scognizance3326 Thank you for the response, I saw the video about that topic, I was more curious about what they think on foreigners or if there is a difference for them or if they would avoid the foreigners just because of that.
Takashii,
You are correct about convenient store. USA is going through problem right now because of covid. Most of us are glad that people are showing up to work. We accept poor customer service. Some say it has been brewing due to inequality in pay. That is a problem Japan has less of, so combine income inequality with individualism, that is how you end up with poor customer service. Thank you for reading. May us both have a good 2022.
Sounds like a political ad.
No respect for your fellow man, and being practically self-focused.
@@donlove3741I have never seen a political ad similar to that
good interviews bro
Just found your channel.. pretty interesting contents.. you have my sub!!
I love your video. It's lovely and useful.
To me, sometimes you pull the microphone too close to yourself while speaking...
So there is a different volume between you and the guest which kinda hurt my ears a bit...
If my commend can help you improve future videos, it will be my pleasure.
Looking forward for more!
Amazing video bro. I love Your content!!!!
I really like the way this guy says channel.
Takashiさんはかっこいい！動画も本当に面白いです！頑張ってね😊
Wow The girl from Germany, her English is so natural! Surprised as a Japanese🤩
And I want to do modeling as well
Nice. I Live in Brazil and I learned English by watching American TV shows several times without the subtitles. Thank you friends and Grey's anatomy.
That’s amazing, I don’t think I could learn a language like that hah
@@skad2485 english is pretty close to Portuguese so I think that made it easier, but I like English since high school, so I knew some stuff already bcs we "learn" at school
@@skad2485 i mean that's how u learned ur native language, u watched tv and listened to stuff around u
Wow man I subscribed a week ago at 9k
1 week later your at 20k!! Keep it up you will be at 100k in no time.
Thank you so much !
You might want to ask this every month to get answers from people from other countries. I've been in Japan a long time but don't speak Japanese cause I spent most of my time teaching English and only had English teachers as friends but now because of COVID I'm out of work and just stay home where we all speak English.
Joooooo 20.000 subscriber :D Congratulations!!! Feels like yesterday you had 1k when I joined ^^‘
Why, oh why, has no-one commented on Takashii changing his right-side-parting to left-side-parting often multiple times during the video?!! And also, surely those "crows" deserve a mention providing the customary, background "music"?
The Tunisian on the question of subjective time, it is a theme of supreme relevance to human life! I am not sure a life should be so rushed but equally, a sense of urgency about death helps focus the mind on the present, also.
I am preparing for japan as a student but boarder makes a lot problem 😭
Me too lol
I was supposed to be in California !
I’ve subscribe to your channel less than a week ago and your subscribers then are around 10k I think. Good job your videos are recommended.
Can you make videos on Muslims living there in Japan? We usually have a bad image of being bad people, and I want to learn how Muslims live there and cope with it.
Yeah I’m sure I’ll make it
Japanese people so indirect and shy~
Meanwhile 2:55
As only a tourist, I really appreciated the politeness and good manners of Japanese people. It might be hard to break their shell and their manners might only be a front (they might think something about you which is the contrary of what they show) , but I appreciate the good manners, it's appeasing, I don't need stress and drama while travelling and meeting new people. And their good manners are not over the top, like North American friendliness which is also a front.
I do love the chaos I have found in other Asian countries too though . If you travel through Asia, start with the chaotic areas & people, enjoy the fun mess, then go to Japan to rest your mind 😀😁
NA friendliness is not a "front". We are genuinely friendly lol. I love meeting and talking to new people
