@@JJ-hb9in No, the correct response is : **smiles** **chuckles** "I-iya iya, **waves hand side ways** mada-mada desu" NOTE : You should pronounce the "su" in "desu" (like a beginner in Japanese class) to make the Japanese person you are interacting into thinking that you still have more to improve. If you say this in the most Jouzu way possible, they might think you are being polite.
My favorite joke of Dogen's is this one he said on Twitter. That such-and-such is the kanji for black hole. It literally means something like "point of infinite spatial gravity". Nah, just kidding. It's burakku horu.
But if someone were to have something that shoots black holes, it would obviously be 「ＢＬＡＫＫＵ ＨＯＬＥ ＫＡＮＯＮ 」 Or going all the way and call it 「ＩＮＦＩＮＩＵ ＳＰＡＴＩＡＬＵ ＧＥＲＡＶＩＴＩ ＫＡＮＯＮ 」
Dogen is amazing. He reignited my motivation to study Japanese. I immediately subscribed to his pronunciation lessons in 2022 and started dedicating time every day to the lessons... and then Moscow started murdering people in my country and everything went to hell.
Looking down or away during a conversation isn't just a thing Japanese people do. it's something shy or introverted people do. I know, because I'm generally both. And, I'm American.
Looking at someone while talking to them is difficult. It used to be hard for me because I was shy but now I get stuck in concentrating on what the person or I am talking about. I then just forget to look up at the person & end up not realizing it till the conversation is over.
@6:22 "Rasenshuriken" *awkward silence from Dogen* @6:29 *Sora's laugh reaction* 😂😂 Sora & Dogen's collaboration is hilarious! Sora is learning Japanese from Dogen! good for him, so he can absorb the Japaneseness from Dogen.
I love Dogen and I am not even learning Japanese. His humour also has multiple layers, both someone who knows nothing about Japan and someone who is been living here for a decade will find something funny in his skits.
title: American (Swedish) RUclipsr In Japan Is ACTUALLY Insane i agree, Sora has done a lot of crazy activities in Japan, like running up the hill to find the shrine last live stream.
he is one of the american in japan that I respect; he gives good insight compare to other Japan stage videos like Jake who want to show japanese people are worshiping them which are not even true
It's hard. Making eye contact may be aggressive, but not doing so, can also mean that you're uninterested. If you keep staring non-stop, then I guess it's very aggressive tho. Totally depends on the context, the person whom you're talking to, it's not a right or wrong thing.
Yeah. This guy's Japanese is super good. Makes me feel I'll never achieve such a high level unless I 'become' Japanese. Which I really don't want to do. :/
The fact that you and your friends heard “Dogen” and said “Who’s that?” Instead of “You mean the guy who invented Soto Zen? What about him?” makes me sad. You guys don’t know about your own history?
Not Japanese didn't raise in Japan and I don't speak a language, but since I grew up watching some of their cartoons at our early age and actually, a number of cultures.Find Young people looking direct in the eyes of adults.I picked up the mannerism of looking slightly down to when talking
Hm. Love it! Japanese man with great English interviews American man with great Japanese skills. I can see how Dogen picks up the cultural behaviors. I tend to do that too when I'm in a place. The strange thing that's happening to me is that I'm starting to just do Japanese style things even though I'm just studying the language. Aizuchi. Hanging out with my friend and nodding and saying "un" to agree with him. Chattering to myself in Japanese when I'm wondering where I left the car. Love watching both of you on RUclips! Fun fact: Dogen and I share a given name, I found out. I hope someday my Japanese is as good as his.
Dogen seems really down to earth and chill. This interview is entertaining. I find it amazing that he adapted so quickly to Japanese culture. He even makes people he grew up there. I wonder if he get the foreigner pass still? 😂
pov when american japanese meet japanese american.
Accurate af
Sora is more American than Dogen 😅
Sora is definitely the Japanese American.
Our battle will be legendary ✊✊
Next on Dogen’s channel: *_”THIS JAPANESE STREAMER IS ACTUALLY INSANE”_*

what is muchaburi?

I found out about Dogen years ago when Sora mentioned him in his channel. It's amazing to see them make a video together after this many years.

Dogen: Japanese who looks American

Dogen is what Sora couldn't be.
Japanese?
Whatever the opposite of cringe is?
Nobody can replace sora the troll, nobody can copy the formula of content sora does.
because Sora is Swedish
@@RevanR Sora being an Indian-Italian can never adapt Dogen's Japaneseness!
You know someone is already a Japanese when you talk to them in English but they talk back in Japanese. He's too jouzu xD
Looking down or away during a conversation isn't just a thing Japanese people do. it's something shy or introverted people do. I know, because I'm generally both. And, I'm American.
He was my original tricking sensei before RUclips was a thing. I don’t even remember how I saw his clips on dialup internet back then.
Looking at someone while talking to them is difficult. It used to be hard for me because I was shy but now I get stuck in concentrating on what the person or I am talking about. I then just forget to look up at the person & end up not realizing it till the conversation is over.
7:18 “And I never want to force my opinion on other Japanese people, either.”
_“Other”?_
Pack it up boys, we got him
Sora was so convinced, he literally forgot he isn't subtitling a Japanese person
i mean he literally said "just because i know, its not like I think it should be this way" so the subs are kinda scuffed
Wish you'd have asked him if he knows what どんぶらこ is the sound effect of. I think that's the best "Japanese or foreign" test I've ever seen
all that means to me is DonBrothers... LMAO
5 seconds in and i can somehow read Sora's lips that he's saying "日本人"
As an american who hates eye contact....Well I just wish we didn't like eye contact so much

Now we need an interview on Matcha Samurai to check if he's more English than Japanese. I bet he is.
Another Dogen collab LESGO !
so nice of the Japanese Dogen to explain his culture to the American Sora. Always touches my heart to see cross culture sharing!
I love Dogen and I am not even learning Japanese.
His humour also has multiple layers, both someone who knows nothing about Japan and someone who is been living here for a decade will find something funny in his skits.
Dogen is a committed guy that goes hard in what he wants to achieve
3:37 so Sora came to Japan through JET program
Well that guy was actually not a bad japanese influencer 😅👍🏻
collab of the century right here

I wish he wouldve edited less. it was so enjoyable
Sora X Yabatan collab when?
No jokes guys i was able to understand most of what Sora was saying when he was speaking Japanese
おめでとう！
それめっちゃかっこいいです！
you should watch sharks and vanity if you havent, easily my favourite dogen vid.
that and honne v tatemae
he is one of the american in japan that I respect; he gives good insight compare to other Japan stage videos like Jake who want to show japanese people are worshiping them which are not even true
Hey Sora, how is your family doing? Have we helped relieve the debt?
Dogen is indeed really good with the language.
Dogen is great! 🤣
Now I want to see Dogen interview Sora
To be easy, man!, He might live in Japan for yrs so normally goes as far as he perform, tbh, non-Japanese being “Japanese” is insane
i feel like personality-wise i'm not that different
俺も！まじてまやばいよ
I think its okay
I just found that mans channel. Is Sora some sort of psychic??
A foreigner who appreciates Japanese culture to the point of impressing the Japanese needs to be more common
I swear his japanese is so good, his face even slightly morphs to look more asian when he talks.
二人とも日本語上手
Sora American heritage reveal video when?
Dogenを日本生まれの外国人やハーフだと思う日本人はいないと思うけど、
soraはときどき外国人が喜びそうな嘘をつくよね。
In Japan, making direct eye contact might come off as aggressive? 🤔 I'm like that shouldn't be the case, but I hope someone can tell me why~
ruclips.net/video/4FdVuu2ydpg/видео.htmlfeature=shared
It's a pro for me as I rarely make eye contact.
It's hard.
Making eye contact may be aggressive, but not doing so, can also mean that you're uninterested. If you keep staring non-stop, then I guess it's very aggressive tho.

@nankinink I still don't get it..
Sora being able to read the room makes him a Cool Kiyomi
This dogen guy acts very Anime™️ and his japanese is apparently really good
You guys have beef? Cmon Sora obviously that guy is more Japanese than you
In all seriousness this video was super funny and wholesome
So how has some big time video game making company or something NOT picking up a guy like this for translation job?
Yeah. This guy's Japanese is super good. Makes me feel I'll never achieve such a high level unless I 'become' Japanese. Which I really don't want to do. :/
Dogen should shave his head already.
Well, Kson too i suppose.
Bro I'm not raised in Japan but I can't make an eye contact for more than 5 secs 😢
Boko no chin chin chiisai desu
sora gets the 白んぼ pass
Dogen is 2x more Japanese than Sora😂
One reason I don’t resonate with Dogan - he RARELY IF EVER speaks English.
Can't make something funny
*Ends up laughing hard*

hmm all I saw were two Japanese youtubers in this video

Dogen is American comes off as Japanese.
Sora is Japanese (allegedly) comes off as American.
They are polar opposites.
