@@RandomUserX99 plenty of foreigners in general are fluent in Japanese in Japan. I would hope anyone planning on living there for more than a year would pick up the language.
I get what you mean unlike the other commenters here. It’s rare and unique for a white person to grow up in Japan. Especially back then. Especially since Asian countries don’t allow immigration. Heck no matter how much a foreigner assimilates they’ll never be accepted in the fold. Unlike western nations that accept practically everyone even if they don’t speak the language and refuse to assimilate. Especially America. Just step over the border and you’re American.
Yes I am impressed totally with their dynamic but give a plus to him as I too met, married lady with 3 children whom I raised as my own but to do with another nationality and from the enemy side and deal with all that is really something impressive not to take anything away from her either as would have been a big thing for both of them back then
Its the real christian missionary. People are often potrayed bad side of the religion only. Mega church for example. While many Christians missionary out there still doing kindness.
@@pkpk-h2k you should watch their video about how they met, and the oppositions from her husband's parents at first. Anyway, it is not a mental problem when you choose to be with someone from different culture or race or nationality. In the world we live in, people move around so much that you can meet anyone from anywhere. And when you meet someone that you feel comfortable and the right one, maybe it can lead to something more serious. There is no harm in it. Not as if you ought to choose only by your race or place where you're born.
What a great family ! I'd say your family background is one of the most interesting and intriguing ones I've encountered recently. The fact that your dad was brought to Japan at really early age by his missionary parents and both of your grandfathers were participants in WW2. Wow, what a story ! I think you guys ( Stephanie & 태열 ) are the cutest couple on RUclips. I really love the fact that I could hear three different languages being spoken all mixed in on every episode. Your channel needs to have more exposure and deserves to have much more subscribers. Keep up the good work ! Much Love from Canada !
Oh my gosh thanks so much for the sweet comment Mike😭❤ It was encouraging to read your message because while editing the video I was afraid people would find it boring😅 So thank you for that!
@@PaniandTae You're very welcome ! Thank you for responding to my comment. As a proud Korean immigrant living in Canada, I've had great interests in Japan & Japanese cultures in general for years and you guys & your family definitely pique my level of interests toward Japan much more.

I loved this. I used to love hearing my Korean mom talk about how her and my American dad met. She always spoke so kindly about him even after their divorce. Both of my parents have since passed so thanks for allowing me to live vicariously through you!
@@PaniandTae I know that is why I think Japan and Korea at least do one. It would be great drama,romance maybe a little comedy. It could or should be on Viki premiere it's a streaming service to watch Korean, Japanese, Chinese and other Asian countries tv series. I hope they do that someday
People don't make war.... countries does! Glad nowaday, with internet, we can see that people are almost the same doesn't matter where we were born, we all have fears, dreams and love ones! That hate was "fabricated" in order to have soldier willing to die and kill!
@@Nikolai508 I think many people who aren't veterans, especially those of us in the US with how the social climate tends to skew, can't fully appreciate what those experiences are like. Many of the people in my life that I have spoken to who have been in wars, and those I've seen in interviews, have a completely different mentality and viewpoint on their "enemies" once war is over. Honestly even during the wars many hate what they're doing and it's only a matter of survival. Many talk about not having hate for the other side, and seeing them as being just like themselves and being put into a terrible situation for their countries. But for regular citizens, many of us only hear the horror stories, the political side of the war from the News back home. I think this is why many see this as being amazing, while many veterans will shrug their shoulders and say exactly what you have, "why would they hate them?" I think it's amazing how complex the human mind and heart really are. No matter how long you live, people may still surprise you.
One of the things I really appreciate about your vlogs is your accent and diction. Not a lot of young vloggers these days talk the way you talk. It's amazing how beautifully and eloquently you speak English and how expressive you are, even though you are already a second generation American raised in Japan. Do you know what I mean? I mean, there are a lot of Asian-Americans raised in the US who don't speak their parents' language at all, much less fluently. Props to your dad for helping to preserve your English so well and hopefully your kids will also speak English as well as you do. It really is fantastic!
I think one of the factors with her dad was. she has three children.. and this man is willing to take up those children as his own. they will be looked after and he has no worries about his family. at the time would have a Japanese man married a woman who already has there kids? keeping in mind he husband did not die, they got a divorce.. but then again it really was not that far back was it?
that's an insider piece of info. RUclips needs this kind of content (videos), to be a medium that truly serves for connecting people with meaningful dialogues.
@@mirieshii1948 "socially backwards" for men to wisely shy away from burdening themselves with the offspring of other men? You are too funny; but then again, you are a lost female. lol There is no society in the world in which the average male IS EVER going to be eager to take on the burden of another man's woman and his children. NONE! Why don't you tell us the non-"backward society" where you are from, and when males are tripping over themselves to take on another man's secondhand female and his children? Where? lol More often than not the stepfather and step children have issues. If the secondhand female has daughters, the stepfather may consider them bonus mates, and so many other weird scenarios. And that is why most real men with want to take custody of their children, and so help protect them from horrible or questionable stepfathers.

This is the first RUclips showing the three languages subtitles that I know of and have been studied and still using as my 2nd language!!! No doubt that Stephanie's family is a genuine international family!! God bless!!!👍
I love these types of stories that I can relate to! My grandmother was from Hokkaido and met my grandpa who is American while serving in the military. They came back here and had a family. I still have family in Japan and hope to meet them someday! :) Thanks for sharing the story.
It’s amazing to see the beautiful puzzles pieces and how all it fit, just because a couple of soldiers had big hearts, good open minds and enough love to forgive, share and most of respect. What a much better world it is with the good people that make up Pani and Tate’s family!
It’s so amazing to hear that there was no opposition to your parents’ marriage by the family. That was a very open minded decision. I respect your whole family so much! Also, Lydia is just the cutest little angel! Much love and good wishes to your whole family ❤️

The fact that there's not many biracial American-Japanese in your generation proves how odd yet so brave your dad's family's decision was. Their story is one of a kind. Would love to hear more of their stories. -💖 from Philippines. P.S. really amazing how time of peace brings enemies together in the least expected manner.
@@BgnrMdl1 Ahh, right! I didn't for a second consider in US and/or other US military bases (though I live in one lmao). Good to know there's plenty there. I was initially thinking exclusively in Japan -- I hardly know any American-Japanese (OP is actually the first and it's not even personal) but I know plenty of German-Japanese for some reason and I figured it has smth to do with the WWII. We learn everyday!
This modern-day fairy tale got me so fascinated that I just couldn't help being glued to it. I could notice how your wonderful parents have an effect on what you're now with just this video clip. From a sleepless dad with two kids in Seoul.
It is sooo fascinating to hear that your grandfathers were enemies during WWII and that your paternal grandfather moved to Japan shortly afterwards with his young children and wife. I really find your channel and family of almost 4 kids to be so interesting!! Thank you for posting your stories!!!
Amazing story! There a similar story in s.korea as well. Yohan In (John Linton) was born and raised in s.korea. His grand father was a missionary, did alot of great things. His father built over 600 churches in Korea. Mr. In has became a first white doctor in 1987 and still working as a doctor.
what a cool story! U come from a long line of great people! For your Japanese grandparents to be fine with their daughter marrying an American so soon after the war, speaks volumes to their character!
Those family photos at the end were such a nice touch! It's really interesting to hear that your dad's family came to Japan in the fifties! I guess the entire circumstances with the Japanese side of the family being used to more western stuff and all that really helped. But that doesn't mean that anyone who never had direct contact to another culture can't be open-minded. I guess when people fit together they just do and the people they're close with can tell. While being an international couple can come with it's own challenges it's nice to see it works out for so many people. Goes to show we're all just human.
Thank you and your parents for sharing such a poignant story of their families history and how they met. They are pretty open and come from such forward looking families. Love is love even if it falls between different cultures. I love their openness about their early days together and being so close after such a tramatic moment in Japanese and American history. God bless your families and thank you again for sharing their story. You are very lucky to have them and what history to pass on to your children.
Stephan's grandfather was a missionary with a very specific calling, to heal children’s heart. I am related to this. I was a Sunday school teacher for many years and the reward is beyond words. Stephan's dad had no objection to falling in love with a woman with 3 children and raising them like his father. His heart was open to love unconditionally. I can feel the atmosphere of joy and peace in that home. Grandchildren, son-in-law feel so happy to be with them and also the view is spectacular! ❤❤❤❤
Amazing roots you got there. And praise to your dad for being the amazing person and husband that he is to your mom. Your mom looks very sweet she deserved the kindness.
I was born and raised in Saipan and still here on the small island! There is a lot of history here with the war and especially the Japanese administration coming here. Super cool to hear both sides, thank you for sharing :)
What an amazing story.Thank you for sharing it and your parents are awesome.Your parents are the kind of people I like to hang around to have a beer and to learn about history.
I rewatched this and again so sorry for commenting so much! But Steph’s family is just so much like my maternal side of the family. I’ve lost my grandpa and my beloved grandma and so your videos help me feel like I’ve reconnected with them. Even though I am not related to you guys. It’s just nice to see footage of people who remind you so much of your family. Your mom has what feels like a similar backstory as my grandpa. Though he’s Chinese and not Japanese. I loved listening to stories about him because he was considered an anomaly. He was extremely westernized despite being full Chinese. He liked American football and liked American cars and fashion. Something that was unheard of in China back then. He did experience the Japanese occupation and saw many of friends die. But I don’t think he held any animosity towards Japanese people. Just towards the government at the time. When he moved to the States, I believe he made a few Japanese American friends but not sure. He died before I was born so I only know him from stories and photos and audio. In any case he assimilated quite well. He looked a lot like your brother Sam. And just like your dad, he immediately took in a child who was not his own and housed and gave a job to a total stranger and eventually married her. So many similarities, it’s just crazy. I feel like I was meant to find your video. ❤️🙏🏻
If this guy started speaking to me in Japanese I’d be shocked. His Japanese intonation is perfect, yet his midwestern American farmer intonation is also perfect. 😂

I love these types of stories that I can relate to! My grandmother was from Hokkaido and met my grandpa who is American while serving in the military. They came back here and had a family. I still have family in Japan and hope to meet them someday! :) Thanks for sharing the story.
It’s amazing to see the beautiful puzzles pieces and how all it fit, just because a couple of soldiers had big hearts, good open minds and enough love to forgive, share and most of respect. What a much better world it is with the good people that make up Pani and Tate’s family!
Really enjoyed your parent's story... We really appreciate them for opening up part of their privacy... Thank you
This was so interesting to see, especially the photos of your parents!
なんて人間できた家族なんだ
見習う！！
Papa is a hero.. he took mama with 3 kids.. for other its hard but papa is so good that he accept and embraced the ladies.
✨thank you...엑셀런트!
리디아가 어른이 되면 할머니, 할아버지 세대의 이야기는 완전히 역사책에만 남게 되겠네요 ㅋㅋ 좋은 영상 잘 봤습니다^^
Your parents are the best kind of people.
It’s so amazing to hear that there was no opposition to your parents’ marriage by the family. That was a very open minded decision. I respect your whole family so much! Also, Lydia is just the cutest little angel! Much love and good wishes to your whole family ❤️
우와~~아버님 정말 찐사랑♡♡
저는 자녀가 다섯이라 그래서
입양하셨나? 했는데 어머님이 재혼이셨군요~
어떻게 생각하면 어머님도 이혼과 아이들을 책임져야하는 상황이 쉽지 않으셨을텐데
표정이 항상 편안해보이세요.
아버님같은 남자랑 함께 사셔서 그런가^^
어머님 젊은시절 사진보니 파니씨가 어머님을 많이 닮은거였군요!!
짧은 인터뷰였지만 마치 영화 한편을 본 느낌입니다~러브스토리는 파니씨
부모님이 찐이네요 ㅎㅎ
김제이님 매번 시청해 주셔서 감사합니다😊
좋은 하루 보내시고 계속해서 시청 잘 부탁 드립니다♥️
@@PaniandTae
기억해주셔서 감사합니다^^
사람마음이 다 제각각이라 가끔은
제 댓글이나 다른분들 댓글 중 기분 좋지않을 말도 있으시겠지만
너무 신경쓰시진 마세요~~
(태열님이 잔소리안하고 좀 더 스윗해지기 바라는 소망은 있습니다ㅎㅎ )
두분이서 충분히 깊은 신뢰와 사랑을 가지고 계시겠지만 구독자는 짦은 영상에서 보여지는 단편만으로만 판단하게 되니까요^^
앞으로도 계속 재밌게 볼게요!
육아때문에 힘드실텐데 뜸하게라도 영상 올려주셔서 고맙습니다
잘 보고있어요~애기들이 참 예뻐요
부모님 세대의 스토리는 차원이 다르군요. 영화화한다면 대서사시가 되겠네요. 진짜 어메이징!!!
시청해 주셔서 감사합니다😄
건강 유의하세요🤗
The fact that there's not many biracial American-Japanese in your generation proves how odd yet so brave your dad's family's decision was. Their story is one of a kind. Would love to hear more of their stories.
-💖 from Philippines.
P.S. really amazing how time of peace brings enemies together in the least expected manner.
I grew up with hundreds. Many were in their 30s and 40s with children. Just go to Hawaii or the military bases :)
@@BgnrMdl1 Ahh, right! I didn't for a second consider in US and/or other US military bases (though I live in one lmao). Good to know there's plenty there. I was initially thinking exclusively in Japan -- I hardly know any American-Japanese (OP is actually the first and it's not even personal) but I know plenty of German-Japanese for some reason and I figured it has smth to do with the WWII. We learn everyday!
This modern-day fairy tale got me so fascinated that I just couldn't help being glued to it.
I could notice how your wonderful parents have an effect on what you're now with just this video clip. From a sleepless dad with two kids in Seoul.
素敵な家族ですね。不思議に繋がるのが縁ですね。これから何処に繋がっていくのか楽しみですね。
素敵な家族😚
アイデンティティを尊敬し合ってるから上手く行ってるんだと思います。お隣の国とは政治摩擦が常にあるけど、どっちかが上・下とか思わなくなること願います
It is sooo fascinating to hear that your grandfathers were enemies during WWII and that your paternal grandfather moved to Japan shortly afterwards with his young children and wife. I really find your channel and family of almost 4 kids to be so interesting!! Thank you for posting your stories!!!
Amazing story! There a similar story in s.korea as well. Yohan In (John Linton) was born and raised in s.korea. His grand father was a missionary, did alot of great things. His father built over 600 churches in Korea. Mr. In has became a first white doctor in 1987 and still working as a doctor.
아버지 어머님께서 너무 훌륭하신 분입니다 오래오래 건강하시길 바라겠습니다
what a cool story! U come from a long line of great people! For your Japanese grandparents to be fine with their daughter marrying an American so soon after the war, speaks volumes to their character!
Those family photos at the end were such a nice touch! It's really interesting to hear that your dad's family came to Japan in the fifties! I guess the entire circumstances with the Japanese side of the family being used to more western stuff and all that really helped. But that doesn't mean that anyone who never had direct contact to another culture can't be open-minded. I guess when people fit together they just do and the people they're close with can tell.
While being an international couple can come with it's own challenges it's nice to see it works out for so many people. Goes to show we're all just human.
내가 pani 아빠 세대와 비슷해서 아주 인상깊게 보았어요
부모의 자식에 대한 생각은 거의 모두가 비슷한 것 같아요
저도 약 18년 전 미국인 며느리를 볼 때의 생각이 되살아납니다
감명깊게 보았어요 감사합니다
To Lydie: Although you cried a bit, you had such a great patience until this video end🍼🍼🍼
I find your father a dear and your mother,a true lady😊😊😊. You are very lucky, indeed.
14분여만에 한 인간의 인생을 알수 있었던 유익한 시간이였어요~ 아버지가 대단하세요
13:03 너무 유익한 영상입니다. 보고 또 봅니다. 그만큼 중요하고 의미 있는 영상이에요.
You're so pretty Pani! Lucky to have lovable parents. Learn a lot from them. God bless💖
Wow...love the background story....this could be a movie
Aww that's so sweet of you! Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment❤🙏
Much respect for someone to marry into an already established family, and to be so open and accepting of the differences in others.
옛날 이야기 너무 흥미롭네요! 재밌게 봤습니다
Your Mom is so beautiful and your Dad so handsome … and they are such sweet personalities too. What an Amazing story of their meeting.
It's nice when her mother said she can be herself with her husband. That's the way it should be . It means her husband has respect
Thank you and your parents for sharing such a poignant story of their families history and how they met. They are pretty open and come from such forward looking families. Love is love even if it falls between different cultures. I love their openness about their early days together and being so close after such a tramatic moment in Japanese and American history. God bless your families and thank you again for sharing their story. You are very lucky to have them and what history to pass on to your children.
2차세계대전 적국(미국VS일본)과 식민지국(대한민국) 그리고 그들의 아기(리디아)...참 슬프고도 요상하고 복잡한 가족...결론은 We are The World(Peace!)
그렇죠..나라나 인종이 아닌 한 인간으로 바라보면 더 넓은 세상이 보이죠..
시청해 주셔서 감사합니다🥰
Lelaki yang penuh pengertian dan tanggungjawab. Her father is a good man. New subscriber ❤️
Stephan's grandfather was a missionary with a very specific calling, to heal children’s heart. I am related to this. I was a Sunday school teacher for many years and the reward is beyond words. Stephan's dad had no objection to falling in love with a woman with 3 children and raising them like his father. His heart was open to love unconditionally. I can feel the atmosphere of joy and peace in that home. Grandchildren, son-in-law feel so happy to be with them and also the view is spectacular! ❤❤❤❤
What a great guy your dad! Such a loving grandpa as well!
ご両親素敵😍❤️❤️❤️大好きな家族です❤️
コメントありがとうございます❤🙏😭 励みになります！
"Ball turret gunner".... he was blessed. Those guys have the highest fatality rate of an already hazardous job of just being a part of a bomber crew.
두분 너무 곱게나이드셨네요... 나도 저래야할건데....행복하세요
家族全員 綺麗❣️、お父さんもお母さんもスタイル良くて美男美女❣️
Amazing roots you got there. And praise to your dad for being the amazing person and husband that he is to your mom. Your mom looks very sweet she deserved the kindness.
무척 흥미로운 이야기였습니다. 역시 어르신들의 옛이야기를 듣는 것은 재미가 있어요.
정말 영화같은 감동적 스토리 이네요. 지금처럼 늘 행복하셔요~🙆♀️🙆♀️🙆♀️
It’s so nice that your parents are so open-minded! Their story is indeed very interesting, you can even write a novel with it! 😅
Your father is awesome to take care of three kids and marry your mother !!! What a great heart!!!
참 유익하고 의미있는 영상이었습니다ㅎㅎ 부모님으로부터 배울점이 많네요
부모님들의 생각이 정말 본받을 만 하군요. 행복하시고 건강하시길 빕니다.
시청해 주셔서 감사합니다🥰
항상 행복하시고 건강하세요~🤩
WOW. this it very touching story. thanks for sharing your family history. after watching the story I'm getting smarter. thanks.
とても素敵なご両親ですね！この動画を見て、なんだか世の中捨てたものじゃないなぁ、、、なんて、幸せな気持ちになりました😁
Thanks for sharing your parents story! 素敵なご両親がどのように出会ったのか興味がありました！お父様は小さい頃か日本で住んでいたのですね。英語忘れなかったのは凄いですよね。是非とも他の兄弟、お姉様達のお話も聞きたいです。
Que historia!! Y que lindas personas . Gracias por compartir
그냥 운명적으로만나시고 운명적으로 만나신 가족사 이네요
행복도 운명입니다
me and my lady love this. you have awesome parent. i love your dad
처음에는 왜 한국어 자막이있을까 했는데 영상보고 알았네요 부모님이 되게 개방적이시고 사이가 너무 좋아서 보기 좋네요☺️ 구독합니다 영상 너무 좋네요
I was born and raised in Saipan and still here on the small island! There is a lot of history here with the war and especially the Japanese administration coming here. Super cool to hear both sides, thank you for sharing :)
なぜか涙が出てきました・・・とってもすてきなご両親ですね。この動画から大切なことを教えてもらった気がします。
What an amazing story.Thank you for sharing it and your parents are awesome.Your parents are the kind of people I like to hang around to have a beer and to learn about history.
스테파니님의 부모님들은 굉장히 긍정적이신거같네요.. 와.. 본받을점... 12:50 이부분 대화가 큰 영감을 주네요...
스테파니 부모님이 정말 대단하셨군요~~~존경합니다.
역시 넓은 세상에서 살아 봐야..
I rewatched this and again so sorry for commenting so much! But Steph’s family is just so much like my maternal side of the family.
I’ve lost my grandpa and my beloved grandma and so your videos help me feel like I’ve reconnected with them. Even though I am not related to you guys. It’s just nice to see footage of people who remind you so much of your family.
Your mom has what feels like a similar backstory as my grandpa. Though he’s Chinese and not Japanese. I loved listening to stories about him because he was considered an anomaly. He was extremely westernized despite being full Chinese. He liked American football and liked American cars and fashion. Something that was unheard of in China back then. He did experience the Japanese occupation and saw many of friends die. But I don’t think he held any animosity towards Japanese people. Just towards the government at the time. When he moved to the States, I believe he made a few Japanese American friends but not sure. He died before I was born so I only know him from stories and photos and audio. In any case he assimilated quite well. He looked a lot like your brother Sam. And just like your dad, he immediately took in a child who was not his own and housed and gave a job to a total stranger and eventually married her. So many similarities, it’s just crazy. I feel like I was meant to find your video. ❤️🙏🏻
This is actually impressive and interesting story about the couple which has so different backgrounds
Love your parents Steph. They seem very caring and humble.
Oh my gosh, the ending shot of your parents in the middle when they were young, your brother looks EXACTLY like your dad!! 🤣🤣
