Several things I admired about this
- Stephen slowing down his speech for the interpreter
- That flawless, simultaneous interpretation! Wow!
- How respectful Stephen was to Marie while also staying funny
- Marie’s aura and her smile. Also, what is her skincare routine?
Pretty sure her skin is like that because of all the joy shining out of it all the time. Great for the pores.
SK-II
Ruth: Pretty sure her "skin care routine" is "being Japanese". lol. (And, NO disrespect here. Just think it's more "genetics" than any particular routine).
I agree with you but also I’d like to add that he slowed his speech down for Marie herself too. She catches some of his English, I can see that and Stephan probably knew she understood some too. That was very nice of him.
As you wrote, her interpreter has been great to bring Marie’s spirit into English. She doesn’t miss anything.
Yes, asians have really nice skin. Thanks to diet and the fact they care WAY more about their skin than most people in the US do. They start using sunblock at a very early age and use it constantly.
The interpreter has excellent skill and Steven was the best american host to Marie I've seen, I saw the Ellen segment and it was awfully mean they just were just loud and poking fun at someone enjoying being neat the whole time
Ellen sucks..so does her show..
Yep also on Jimmy Kimmel it was horrible!! I like this one.
And when Ellen sent her to help declutter one of her staff office. That was painful to watch. The office was fully packed, but not to the point of disorganized, and the staff clearly felt violated throughout the whole segment because he didn't ask for it.
That makes me so sad
Of course Ellen would be a degenerate Buffon of a host. It’s who she is.
"I would follow you to a cult compound"
Marie, in her heart: All according to plan.
The interpreter translated that as "He would follow you anywhere", lol. Too much trouble to explain.
lol yep
But she translates it as "Wherever you go (he'll) will follow"
She leaves out the cult parts
o this is a cult...hmmm well I'll just get a few more tips then I'll leave....promise
lmao
The interpreter is clearly beyond amazing: translating tone, having critical judgement of what’s culturally translatable/not, not to mention her speed and memory!
It was rehearsed before!
I mean yes that's literally in our job description. :)
Though I will give you this: there are interpreters that really don't do their work properly and it irks me.
@@lepetitchat123 TRUE SAME WITH THE SMALL AMT OF PROPS BEHIND HIS DESK
This interpreter is incredible! Best I have ever seen.
Yes shes the best. Ive seen other translators of Marie but this girl, Lida is by far the most excellent, just like what u have commented
Iida Marie, the interpreter, is da real MVP. That "clutter in our hearts" translation was PERFECT.
Mac Baler the interpreter actually plays a very important role in this!!! I’m so amazed by her!!!!
Well she is Japanese. What do you expect? They excel in everything!
@Nicholas Cossins (TKY 3007712) I'd disagree in your saying that "it wasn't that hard to translate," as interpretation is quite difficult (Iida Marie herself discusses that in interviews she's done)! As for what she actually did say in Japanese, 近藤麻理恵 said 「そうですね、皆さん、こう、もちろん片付けに悩んでいらっしゃるっていうこともそうだと思うんですけれども、同時にその心の中のモヤモヤ、こういったことも同時に悩んでいらっしゃることも多いと思うんですよ。」 -- The operative word we're discussing here being モヤモヤ. I would say that even a native speaker would be tempted to interpret 「心の中のモヤモヤ」 as an "uneasiness," "pent-up feelings," "inner distress," "haziness," etc., etc., as モヤモヤ is often translated. However, as we know, in the context of Stephen's question, and how often in the Netflix series it is made clear how the cleaning of the home also helps one "tidy" issues inside of them, I would say that, on the fly, on national television, it was an expertly made, highly nuanced interpretation, to say "clutter in our hearts."
@@macbaler you’re just as amazing 🥲 reading your comment was pleasant af
can i say that this translator is absolutely phenomenal?
Marie Kondo's rapid-fire Tokyoite Japanese is no joke.
Yes! She's very professional, yet charming at what she does.
I'm pretty sure she does translation for a lot of anime panels at Comic Cons, because she acted as the translator between some American interviewers and Hiro Mashima, the creator of a manga called Fairy Tail.
That was the first time I saw her rapid fire translations and the quality hasn't gone down at all :D
@@user-lf9op9dh1l what's her name?
There are many amazing translators but idk why I see so many bad ones in american talk shows. She is indeed very professional.
sure why not?
I really like Marie and Stephen but DAMN the translator is unbelievable brilliant.
She's really on top of her game with how fast she was speaking to Marie in Japanese and writing the english translation on her note pad of what Marie is saying. The translator definitely knew time was of the essence and didnt want to waste too much time trying to translate or else Marie and Stephen wouldn't get too much out of the interview. +1 on the props to the translator, it's like she was running a marathon with that speed
@@SomeRandomHobo44 pro gamer move.
she really is!
@@EpicGamer1. Hi can anyone help or reassure me please?
Have you guys exhausted the Code list yet?

Long as invoice date is 27th I can still register product after that and get the Game key ?
@@SomeRandomHobo44 IN WHAT WAY, IS SHE ACCURATE TOO?
3:43 shes so polite she even gives the floor alittle pat. so cute !
Right?? 😄😍
That's just her TV personality... her personality is her brand/image... if she doesn't keep it up, especially in public, people lose interest... I'm sure it probably has rubbed on to her actual personality to some extent but don't believe she's like that all the time in her life... I bet she has sworn and yelled at her husband at some point.... don't believe the media stereotype that all Asian women are submissive. That's just what Japan wants you to think because they sexualize their women like that, and Americans buy into that idea.
@@davida6146 What a lovely life you have
@@davida6146
"submissive"
You mean to tell me Marie wouldn't go "you no longer spark joy" and yeet her man out the window were it come to conflict
Seriously though, can we get some love for that interpreter? Out of the 3 people in this segment, she impressed me the most by far with her interpreting skills
No need to worry about my username Me too, because I’m both a translator and interpreter.
No need to worry about my username
Yes! The part impressed me the most is when she was folding that thing and said あ、いいですね〜。かわいくなってきましたね ("See, it started to look pretty now", which might sound a little weird as it's lacking some context) but then the interpreter quickly changed it and said, "Send a lot of loves..."
Ellen needs to hire her.
@@nomorepancake88 Actually, i think it doesnt sound weird at all, probably makes more sense than "send a lot of love..". Having said that, simultaneous interpretation always amazes me, must be really hard to do that
That's my dream job😫😍
Finally a host that didn’t disrespect her....
"...take me back to your compound..."
@@MoJohnnys Because he made a joke that he would follow her soothing persona into a cult, right? It doesn't come across as disrespectful to me, it's a callback to an earlier (non-racial or derogatory) joke.
@@SVTasdfghjkl My comment wasn't meant for people with a sense of humour.
MoJohnnys Oh well, maybe you just hit the wrong crowd then! 😊
Yassssssssss
Her smile seriously lights up the whole room, she’s so cute!!
I have the feeling she never gets angry.
@John Dela Cruz I said to have the feeling because I am not sure. Same for you : what you think is just a hypothesis . You and me we don't know her.
She is a Class A hypocrite: www.thespec.com/opinion/columnists/2019/11/21/marie-kondo-s-new-store-proves-she-only-wants-to-declutter-your-wallet.html
As someone who studies oral translation I have major respect for the interpreter. Even if she was given a script and had time to prepare the job she did is something else. I admire her.
I am a native speaker in both Japanese and English and can confirm she is just as much of a precious cinnamon roll in Japanese as she seems to English speakers
eiffel65isawesome oh my goodness. That description just melted my heart. ❤️
Aweeeee I love that! A precious cinnamon roll ☺️☺️☺️☺️
Thank you. This information is very important to me.
You just inspired me to look up Eiffel 65 on Spotify. I'm not sure what you've done, but it's certainly interesting.
Colbert brought a cinnamon roll for a cinnamon roll! =D
FINALLY a show host that doesn't make fun of her methods! Kudos to Stephen! Ellen & Kimmel should see this and learn how to be respectful AND entertaining at the same time.
i think it was disrespectful when he repeated that cult thing but she found it cute so idk
i honestly can't stand ellen nowadays she only treats super famous people without condescension (e.g. kardashians)
Bano Banoo
I think you may have misunderstood that joke.
He’s not saying she’s part of a cult or that her methods are cult like, he’s remarking on her charm and sweetness and saying that because she is so sweet, he’d follow anything she says, even if that’s going into a cult.
It’s like saying I think my grandma is sweet and adorable and I trust anything she tells me to do, even if it’s going into an abandoned warehouse at midnight because I don’t feel that my grandma can lead me anywhere dangerous.
I will admit it is kind of a confusing remark, but still not disrespectful.
@@wendyberrios5957 thanks a lot for the explanation , English isn't my first language!
This is Hassan Minhaj erasure and I won't stand for it
"We all have clutter in our hearts, and that needs tidying!!" - very profound!
i really appreciate that Stephen didn't mock Marie for being different like some other hosts did, also appreciate that he didn't laugh at her even though the audience did when Marie folded the cloth thingy. thanks for being respectful!
Her body gestures resemble like a Disney princess
@@wtfstudioinc.1827 Dude! That sounds horribly wrong.
Anna Timpton what is wrong with that? Its just an imagination.
@@wtfstudioinc.1827 Yeah, right, imagination. I could not understand why people like you can find anything (even the brightest, purest thing) that can relate to sexuality. And that is just so offensive.
Anna Timpton human nature I guess..
@@wtfstudioinc.1827 Nah, "human nature" sounds general. Let's just say "it depends on each human." Not every man can find anything that can relate to sexuality. This is just a personal thought of each mind.
That's one infectious smile.
hers is nice too!
It's all in the eyes.
And the way she bends over that table mmmmm
She's beautiful and adorably unassuming!😁
Am jroid Barf. What a pig
Wow she's 35 years old. I wish I could look like her when I turn 35.
I don't know how old you are, but she definitely looks 35
D D She looks late 20s by best.
What?? Dude I thought she was 45
That’s what Asians look like at 35
Asian genes are magical
I can guarantee you she is a reincarnation of a princess
Zark Markeberg she is a princess regardless
Yeah, she is quite like a japanese princess!
How about the reincarnation of an Empress? A King? A Queen? Moses? "Princess" comes off as patronizing.
Fairy princess :)
she _is_ a princess.
It's called respect, and Stephen has it in spades. This lady, and her interpreter, were a joy to watch.
Aum Shinrikyo cult - "compound" joke.
only for people who share his ideology. no respect for people who disliked the last jedi
I was honestly unaware of any previous comments made about Asian people. My understanding of respect is certainly not strange. @Shaft Canyoudigit
Don't spin my words. My two sentences were each in answer to your two sentences. If you cannot understand or read my English then think what you want to think. Don't bother to respond unless you are the type of person who likes the last word. I certainly won't be responding to you again. Cheerio. @Shaft Canyoudigit
Ian Brooke I agree
A lot of people don't understand the cultural context of her methods as well, Shinto is a big aspect, thanking and respecting your space and objects. Stephen was funny yet respectful
Kondo used to serve in a Shinto Shrine as a teen, it definitely influenced the animism in her methods.
timusforlife Cook
Even without knowledge of shinto people can understand what she means if they *want*.
Saying a grace before the meal and thanking god for the food is a similar rite in christanity for being aware what you have and that you should be grateful for the most essential things. I could write more examples. To kneel down is a bit a bit strange for westerners but considering she is japanese it is clear where it it coming from.
@@kidaria1333 The religious roots make it easier for people to respect it but I agree, it's rude to mock someone's methods just because you don't understand them. Americans are big consumers compared to Japanese people and it might be more difficult for them to consider even thanking things for being there, serving a purpose.
Regardless of the religious belief, every thing that has been made is impregnated with meaning. It doesn't matter if you believe your house had a spirit, it still is good to be grateful of what it brings to you.
@@kidaria1333 The Japanese have a very specific way of giving thanks before and after each meal. They're not necessarily thanking God, but thanking all involved in creating the food before them.
He kept it light and tried to bring some humor to the interview well remaining respectful for the most part. Good on him.
In Japan, living space is limited so her method is not unusual. It also teaches self-discipline to clean, throw away unneeded things, etc.
@Justin Time So minimalism comes from Japan I think. Its typical figure is Fumio Sasaki.
Donate unneeded things pleasee 😁
Steve Harvey and Ellen need to take note of how to work with guests and interpreters together. You talked to and addressed only the guest and not the interpreter, and the interpreter did the same. You spoke naturally. You looked at her and not past her at the interpreter, and she looked at you during the conversation even while listening to the interpretation. This was such a wonderful and subtle nod to cultural and language awareness. As an interpreter myself, this was SO wonderful to see! Thank you!
Jessica Recore what language do you interpret?
I work in Spanish and English
Jessica Recore so cool!!
Stephen is no respectful to this lovely Japanese lady. What a show
That is how It is supposed to be.
Same when deaf people uses interprets, they ask you to address the conversation to the person not the interpret.
sidenote: Stephen really handled the audience laughing at the situation very well, and he seemed really interested in what she had to say, also he never made jokes that sort of questioned her methods or her beliefs, it was a great interview!
True, really great and still very funny to watch! This was the first time i actually got what Marie's angle is. Even though im not really interested in her show, Stephen made it super fun to watch and gave her a very good and simple way to show what she is about.
Ellen and Jimmy really did Marie so wrong. I'm really glad someone was able understand what respect is.
@@johnnguyen3899 Compound - Aum Shinrikyo cult joke. - except for this.
Aum Shinrikyo cult - "compound joke". Not funny. Otherwise, a great interview.
Nicky Moloney did he make any explicit reference besides the odd cult reference? I wouldn’t heavily tie that to any racist reference to a historical Japanese cult.
This interview was so positive, Steven being respectful
Marie being a literal sunshine making you feel like she's speaking to your soul itself
That fire translator, I've never seen someone translate this fast nor this good in my life
This lady is precious. I've never seen her show but I can understand why people love her.
She's so humble and pure. We must protect her at all costs
We have clearance to use Gundams.

That was the most fluid and transparent real-time translation to and from another language that I have ever seen. BRAVO to the translator!
She is absolutely outstanding on the show as well!
I was JUST thinking that. She's a boss.
Yes!!!
Marie Iida is Amazing, she has an instagram account under the same name and she's also a talented writer

Jake Elton The translator did a good job of powering through the laughter immediately
I know, that bit pissed me off. I'd like to think they were only laughing at how fast Japanese sounds compared to English. But still, dick move. If I was there and someone next to me laughed, I would turn to them and say, 'Dude, what's your problem?"
DarthCruciare87 well, English sounds fast to non English-speakers too. It just feels that way with languages we don’t understand
Yeah, I don't get it.
Reminds me of homer simpson
Stephen should have more foreign guests, he's very sweet and kind in his approach.
Yeah apart from Craig Furgeson he is the best to emphatize with his guests and prioritis the conversation over being overly funy.
He will actually! South korean girlgroup, Blackpink is going to be there at his show. Although the girls can speak english perfectly, I do hope they could use their korean language a bit.
Manners
Qifa OMG IKR I'M SO EXCITED 😭💕
@@Qaaafi I have heard such good things about them. Can't wait!
I've seen westerners make fun of her ways but they don't realize that she's a shrine maiden and has studied spiritual philosophy so this lady is legit an angel or young deity here to clean our hearts from the clutter
I think the banter is good hearted, and from what I’ve seen people don’t really make fun of her per se, but make fun of the situations she finds herself in
What is a shrine maiden?
Fareen Mohamed the Japanese version of an altar boy (sort of) I think she was a Shrine Maiden for 5 years
@@doodoodeedoo3958 thank you for explaining this to me,
@@doodoodeedoo3958 I've only known her for about 10 min and didn't realize there was a religious/spiritual aspect to it, thank you for that info!
I completely agree with the sentiment in which he says even if she didnt have a translator I would follow her to a cult compound and never leave
she is so darn adorable. she sparks joy
This is the first time I have seen Marie Kondo. There is really something special about her. She just radiates peace or a peacefulness. She seems so pure and precious. I adore her and I completely understand what Stephen was saying about following her anywhere or to her cult, because I would be following right behind him.
It is really surreal, I suffer from really bad depression, but I feel like if I was to spend some time with her, I would be able to find my happiness again.
I don’t know if anyone else feels the way I do, but I feel like if she did retreats or something like that, she would make a fortune!
She had an amazing affect on Stephen too, he appeared to be in awe of her, just like I am.
Same here, I also suffer from horrible depression and anxiety, but just looking and listening to her gives me this strange state of peace. She oozes such a beautiful energy
I think she sparks joy. Her presence is just so peaceful and happy.
I agree marcelle and Marìa. There is just something so powerful and positive about her presence - and that is on video. I imagine it would be much greater in person. I've never sensed anything like this from a person. It's like a really bizarre phenomenon or something! 😊
I think that the concept that she bases her tidying up on is also very applicable to life: let go of the stuff that's weighing you down and that doesn't make you feel good, thank it for what it has done for you (like when bad experiences make you stronger) and keep what brings joy. Keep only what you really need and treat it with care, love and kindness.
When I decluttered my home with her method it also felt like a life lesson.
Big hugs from Chile!
I definitely recommend reading her books or listening to them on audible! I died and it really did change how I lived and how I even feel about myself ♡
He was deliberately toning down the satirical wit, it doesn't translate well and this lady is all sincerity.
She attended to the perfect talkshow for her. I love the mutual respect
Good observation.
It's hard to make jokes when you don't speak the same language, even with a translator
And notice how one of the few jokes he made was his affection for the bourbon, and that was primarily physical humor!
even the jokes he made just werent translated correctly. when he was like i would follow you even to a cult it was just translated to "ill follow you anywhere" so yeah...
Her translator is amazing. I want to give her a moment of recognition. It's not easy translating in real-time like that even when you're completely fluent in the languages.
Just came here to say I appreciate that he said the translator was because he doesn’t speak Japanese and not because she doesn’t speak English. Great attitude!
that was so sweet
Love Marie Kondo and her trooper interpreter Marie Iida. Stephen did a respectful interview, speaking slowly and clearly. You could tell Kondo could understand some of it before translation which helps.
_ _ you get bonus points for referring to her interpreter correctly (not as a translator, which applies to written communication only)
🤩🤩🤩
Marie lives in the US and has for a number of years. I expect she is either just not confident enough in her English for a national audience, or using an interpreter helps with her mystique to sell the idea of decluttering as exotic
@@Skittl1321 ; I don't think it's the "mystique" bit because even if she became conversant in English, she would still speak it with a Japanese accent which would her stand out. She's probably just not proficient enough in English to speak to a national audience, and she doesn't want to use "broken" English because Americans, in particular, seem put off by that----unless, for instance, it's a French speaker. THEN, they think it's "charming".
As an interpreter, props for Stephen for slowing down his talking speed for the interpreter. It's a disaster when the speaker talks like a madman unaware that's a person trying to listen, translate and speak simultaneously.
I think he also did it in a way that didn't come off as treating the interpreter or Marie like they were stupid or slow--he was simply giving time without speeding along. I appreciated it :) Overall, great method.
@Osw719 There's actually two things going on here:
1) The interpreter kind of already knows what Marie Kondo will say. They've been working together a while now, and these interviews can be quite repetitive.
2) Speed does not equate "literal" translation. Sure, she's quick, but it doesn't mean she's saying exactly what Marie is saying. As an interpreter, she has learned to adapt and mold the person's speech. There's really no other way of doing this job.
So for her to translate Marie Kondo is much easier than translating Stephen! :)
She is adorable and lovely on so many levels.
she just radiates peace and calmness and shes so beautiful. shes like a goddess!!
Show hosts, let Stephen be your example! Ellen and Kimmel were so disrespectful of Konmari and her methods and claiming they were trying to be funny. You can be respectful, open-minded, and funny at the same time you know!
Cyndi Angulo Ellen is so rude and fake as a host. She is never really “listening” to her guests and it’s sooo transparent. I don’t know why can’t people see that.
I'm agree Ellen is so rude and mean 😭😭
Yeah I feel like each culture has their own style of humor but we can all relate in being respectful towards one another and really hearing what each other says.
Hasan Minhaj’s collab with her is also worth a watch!
Ellen is becoming a bully .. :( ..
Seeing Marie Kondo on your show sparked joy for me 😊
So now you must express thanks for Marie Kondo.
It also did for me.... very much so I cried from gratitude, honestly.
it's so nice that Stephen spoke slowly in order for the interpreter to catch up. he's very considerate!!
She gave the ground a pat when she got up.. bless.
He forgot to take out Jon Stewart out from under his desk
LOL i expected Jon to turn up any moment
He sparks joy in Stephen and the audience, why would she remove him? 😂
OMFG THIIS!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol
He brings great joy. Keep!
This is sweet I feel bad for Marie because a lot of people/hosts sort of mock her because she doesn't speak English very well so they equaite it to her brains but you don't need to speak a language to be smart
Conversely if they should try to speak Japanese(not an easy language) you can imagine how foolish they would be!
Ngaroimata Thompson thing is, she already speaks a language, she speaks japanesse
Who does that?
This woman is so adorable, smart, classy and polite! She represents the Japanese culture!
Japanese women are usually very feminine and present themselves in a non-manly fashion.
He’s way more respectful then a lot of people have been and I really appreciate that
He can relate to anyone. He has a generosity about him that enables him to do that.
HT200
Yes!!! What a guy!
As much as I love Stephen, he is generous unless you have differing political views (Scaramucci interview, fox news anchors interviews). I'm a liberal Dem, but those interviews make me cringe
Stephen was so polite and respectful and then the audience ruined it by laughing...
People should exercise the Marie Kondo advice when they shop. If anything doesn't spark joy, don't buy it.
@@trucbui7276 is that long term or short term.
When Stephen was bringing stuff out from under his desk I was lowkey hoping he brought out Jon Stewart :P
That would have been awesome!
Man I miss him low-key
I could listen to her speak Japanese all day. She has a calming voice too even if I can't understand a word she says!
I fully agree. She should start her own asmr channel
Japanese is a beautiful language because of the softness. They don’t have hard sounds (from what I remember of the class I failed in college).
Amazing. This lady is not teaching the physics of tidying...she is teaching the metaphysics of tidying.
xD
And that is the big difference: in shintoism things have a spirit!
True dat
Totally agree!!!
That is a great way to put it.
Marie Iida is the translator. She also works with Kondo in the show. 👍🏾
Iida, in the show, also asks Kondo about her impressions with their clients, which is a nice touch.
She kinda reminds me Audrey Hepburn, somehow... 😊
No one of consequence oh! I can totally see that! She radiates warmth and class
Lol love your profile pic/username combo. +1 for wit.
She looks elegant like Audrey Hepburn
I follow her on Instagram. When she went to the Emmys she looked stunning.
Both women are extremely graceful and elegant
That first uncomfortable laughter when she started speaking Japanese shows how unused many Americans are to hearing non-English speaking people being translated live. I'm a translator and an interpreter and I have encountered it before. It doesn't offend me because it's not meant maliciously, but the ingrained idea that foreigners are supposed to speak English never ceases to baffle me.
Oh, and I had initially assumed their laughter came from the juxtaposition of this charming lady and her kinda warp speed way of speaking. That baffled me a sec- and I've been to Japan before.
Do you not understand that English is the lingua franca?
@@MrKErocks Maybe in the western world, but not necessarily elsewhere, and it's typical for us westerners to assume that we're the center of the world. Not everybody learns English at school (or was able to go to school!). It's arrogant to assume everyone is going to speak English and ridicule them if they don't when many people who speak English as their first language don't even speak a second language.
Honestly I almost chuckled too because I didn't expect her to speak so fast for so long, especially given how Stephen was speaking slowly to her to make it easier for the translator.
Americans think the world revolves around America.
Thank you Stephen for being so classy and full of respect to other culture. ❤️❤️❤️
she has such high vibration. just hearing her talk makes me feel better.
She never stops smiling, you just can't help but also smile.
I just realised that the job of interpreter seemed easy to me at first, until now.
Interpreting on the fly is incredibly difficult
Yeah, that interpreter is phenomenal. I'm a translator (written only) and that's hard enough. Interpreting on the fly like that is like juggling: you have to listen and translate in your head at the same time and then speak, and you only get one shot. She was taking notes obviously, but that's likely just jotting down key words. But listen to how effortlessly she spoke in English after doing all of that.
The upshot is that very good interpreters like her make a TON of money.
The best translators will start translating before you've even finished speaking a sentence, which is freaking amazing.
@@anonmouse6337 Not like they rehearse this before the show or anything, right? ;)
I think interpreters like this woman will never be recognized enough. They matter too.
After hearing about the show on Netflix about 10 times in a day, had to check it out. A really great method for being happier and not just about decluttering or minimalism. Actually can be used as a really great way to save and be happier with your money as well. A lot of the things we buy don't really make us happy so using those KonMari rules to declutter expenses really works.
Exactly! And think of the literal debt we carry and worry over, constantly piling up so much junk. Unable to do other things because we are serving that debt.
I am lazy, what is the name of the show? Im sure someone doesnt mind! UwU
@@HPWPAO It's called "Tidying up with Marie Kondo."
@@Tschitsu Thank you friend
Soooo on point! 👏👏
The host is very respectful. 😊
Marie is so adorable! O my goodness. ❤
Is it normal to suddenly have the urge to cry???? They're both so sweet and respectful.
Stephen’s smile while he’s kneeling is so pure
Aww I love Marie Kondo...she’s so graceful and genuine. Stephen seemed like he was really humbled by her approach on life & tidying.
i dunno her smile doesnt seem genuine. shes doing it to be polite. she smiles even when the translator hasnt got to the translation yet. Still seems like an amazing person tho. way better than me
@@ketsukusa I guess she does know some basic English so she gets the gist of what Stephen is saying, it's just not good enough to do a full interview in English.
Eric Rossiter she does know some English, and is actually living in LA now. Anyways that’s just her face/demeanor even when interacting in purely Japanese. She’s a truly sweet person
@@ketsukusa hmm... don't know about that. She seems most genuine to me.
She is clearly on a mission... to remove physical AND so mental clutter from our lives.
What a sacred mission. She truly 'Sparks Joy' : )
@@NoClasp Agreed... she has really come a long way. Wish I could say the same for my Japanese! : (
This woman is so precious. We must protect her at all costs. ❤
司会者の人が、伝わりやすいようにゆっくり英語を喋ってあげてるのが、とても好感を持てる
finally a host that wasn't insulting her, loved the interaction on this and on Hasan Minhaj show.
I couldn't stop smiling, she's a treasure. ♥️🇯🇵
Weird, me too. She's such a dainty little creature.
She is so kawaii! She reminds me of Ayami Muto.
Same! 👍👌🙌
She really is a treasure, she's gentle, graceful, poised, classy, sensitive, spiritual and radiates such a pure, peaceful, and childlike essence; one many of us suffocate on the daily. She is really a breath of fresh air.
I think her treating everything made with respect and appreciation allows people to see their space and things with new eyes.
I LOVED how he treated her!!! So respectful and light hearted. A lovely change to her other interviews. 👏👏👏😄👍
I don't know how to spell her translator's name, but her performance is a life's work distilled.
I believe her name is Marie Iida
@@beckygabriel1326 Thank you!
Iida is so amazing! Kondo has been through a lot of truly awful translators, I’m so glad she has such a great one now
I've heard about her show a few times since Netflix basically puts it everywhere, but I hadn't seen her or known about how she is until now. Absolutely wonderful. If this is how she is on a day-to-day basis, I might actually watch her show, and I've never had interest in house related shows before!
Luke Taylor She’s seriously the sweetest person! And her method is really gentle but effective. I highly recommend her show and books
You should definitely watch. She's the sweetest thing. And her methods are simple for anyone to follow.
She's like this on every episode. Totally delightful.
You can't help but feel good and warm watching her. And for some reason she got through to me, a lifelong slob. I highly recommend the show. Pick an episode that relates to you the most.
japanese culture is pretty much all like this, very polite and respectful, and of course they delight in helping others.
Interactions like this one always remind me why I love the art of interpretation so much. Helping people communicate as efficiently and naturally as possible is one of the best feelings I've ever experienced...and Marie's interpreter is just a perfect example of that.
She has the sweetest voice and smile.
I watched this twice because of how damn sweet it was. That tidy up your heart line 😭
Stephen, what a class act, compared to Jimmy Kimmel and Ellen, he was fascinated and so respectful! Didn't make fun of her, rather allowed her to shine, love this whole interaction! (Don't get me wrong, I love Jimmy & Ellen, was just disappointed at their comedy which seemed to come at her expense, this interview was on a whole other level)
I wouldn't expect anything less from Stephen, I think he's a gentleman, really .. with all of the on TV act put aside .. respect NEVER hurts a show, if a host needs to crack a joke at the expense of their guest, it's not really a joke ..
Basically she uses the gratitude, love and joy energy before tidying up and creating that book, that makes tidying up easier, heart become less cluttering and joyful and she becomes successful. Her energy is so good. I love how she smiles all the time and have such great attitude throughout the interview. Wow such a lovely and inspiring lady.
1:50 I think Stephen's in love. Lol
He was the most respectful and accommodating late night host ever to have interviewed Marie Kondo!
I think this is the best marie kondo interview on american television till now..Thank you Stephen Colbert for giving her the respect she deserves!!
@@tomjrc. The Trump stuff is tiring but fake Melania is a treasure.
@@da96103 "Melania" is hilarious omg she needs to stay lmao
心の中のもやもや ... We all have clutter in our hearts
The interpreter's liberal translations are brilliant. Hard to understate how good she is. The example above is just one.
she handled the pressure very well her sense of securtiy on the world stage considering the language barrier and the first time appearence is magnificent
She's a totally un-ironic ray of sunshine.
You make her sound kind of vapid. Which I doubt she is.
foxfire9 why does being a pleasant person make her seem vapid?
buttercreamsunshine probably because a genuinely sweet and kind person having something valuable to offer doesn’t fit into his cynical worldview
unfortunately there are a lot of people who think like that these days.
Steven is SUCH a charmer when he wants to be!
Nah I like the dark Stephen so much more. When he mocks and makes fun of you and you need to think for 2 seconds before you know he did. Thats the real Stephen
He is probably in to Japanese chicks
@@goldenphoenix00001 Literally anyone will get a crush on Marie Kondo.
Can't even pronounce her name right. What a charmer indeed.
@Oswald Mosley not really, he's still very respectful all throughout this bit. he's complimenting her on her overwhelming positive attitude and he keeps it at that. And he's not laying it on, he's purposefully exaggerating and presenting those compliments jokingly, so there'sno weird tension afterwards. Not a lot of people are this well versed and i think stephen does sometimes create some awkward situations unknowingly depending on the guest, but definitely not here.
Stephen you are a lucky man your studio and desk have been blessed by Marie Kondo! She has so much grace!
IMO Stephen was very respectful and didn’t make any snarky comments since they have language barriers, I really liked that
God could her skin be any more glowy and beautiful?? Kondo-san needs a skincare show
omg i agree it is exactly like a shiny red apple
Whatever you do, don't disrespect Japan and Japanese people. Respect is in their culture. They show it even in their smiles. Ellen and Kimmel were trying too hard to be funny but came across as disrespectful while Colbert is just all grace and he genuinely respects Marie and her philosophy.
so BonBon: Same re every culture and their people. And, btw, the palms together thing---which I love---, I noticed when I watched the "Thai cave rescue" that the Thai do that also. Is that common in most Asian countries?
I'm American, and I don't understand why that has touched me so much (ever since I saw the Thai all doing it), but I just really love it.
@@arx754 yes, it's a common hand gesture, from East to South and Southeast Asia. Usually used for prayers, but also greetings in some cultures.
The palms placed in front of the heart, centres ones energy around the heart and reflects the prayer or greeting coming from the heart.
Where is the respect for chinese and koreans stfu with your subjective opinion
I'm Japanese and I have to say that we don't usually do the gesture when we greet.
We do it right before and after eating to show the gratitude towards food.
We sometimes do it when saying please or sorry too.
Western people often do it when saying Konnichiwa but it is not accurate.
Marie did it in this show only because we Japanese think that it's disrespectful to point out other people's mistakes.
We'd rather choose to do the gesture as well to avoid embarrassing the person.
To be specific, I think, only Indian, Thai, Cambodian, (maybe Laos), and certain parts of Indonesia do this for greetings. East Asians, especially Korean and Japanese tends to just bow...
In Southeast Asia, bowing with the palms together at the forehead is usually for royalty or someone highly respected, like a guru or high priest...
I love hearing her talk just the way she talks. For some reason it’s really soothing
Such a lovely woman! So much love poured into one human😭❤️
Marie Kondo is pure ASMR
A living ASMR channel
@leicanoct
Simply put, ASMR is getting goosebumps when listening to someone speak...
@MegaGolgo13 google
@ASMR
seriously man ! I think I *came a little* when she started talking Japanese !
no I think you're just fetishizing Japanese women
Marie, can you please tidy up the US government??
Hold the president and ask yourself: Does he spark joy for you?
Does trump spark joy??? Into the abyss!!!
@@jayjohnson2079 LOL that was great!!!
LOL maybe she can fold the entire government under her arm
we can do this all together, public plays a huge part.
she has a lovely aura about her, just makes me smile..
I just love this! This interview is BOTH funny and respectful. Much respect to you Stephen!
