Hearted Youtube comments on The Japan Reporter (@TheJapanReporter) channel.

  1. You can't fool me, Nobita. I'm coming to get my 3D waifu.

  2. Imagine all the sweet memories this guy has since his daughter was just a baby. I can't even think what kind of trauma he went through when he realised that the girl in these videos is his daughter. I don't even know what to say to him.

  3. This might be an unpopular opinion but, if you are paying taxes (income tax, not sales tax) in a country, then you have every right to criticize that country. It's not like they're living there for free, the amount of taxes they pay is probably more than most Japanese people. This is not exclusive to Japan, in most countries in Asia, you will always be seen as a "guest" if you don't look like the people there no matter how long you've been living there and paying your taxes.

  4. He treats everyplace that he's at like home... He is ultimately disgusted at people that don't treat it like it's their home - that's why we love him

  5. "convenience woman" is a book about a japanese woman with ASD who works at a convenience store. It's a great read, light hearted while touching on an important topic. I'd highly recommend it.

  6. There are many "confessions" by porn stars, but it's one of a kind when it's a "confession of a Japanese dad who's daughter is a pornstar"! Thank you so much for this video!!!

  7. Major cultural differences can be difficult, but I think if you are consuming content in a foreign language that you should of course consider the culture of the people producing it. I would never listen to a Japanese podcast and say "wow these guys seem very insincere and too passive!" if they use polite speech. Just like how our humor can come off as rude, Japanese people's indirectness and double-speak can also be interpreted as rude in societies where directness is valued.

  8. The attitudes towards ASD in Japan aren't that far off from the west. While awareness for ASD in the west is spreading, the understanding is not. Those with autism are often looked down upon, seen as stupid, mean, emotionless, crazy, obsessive, etc. Even some families feel ashamed to have someone with autism. Numerous times I've had people tell me, "You don't seem autistic". They had an idea of what an autistic person is like and either were shocked to find out I was... or dismissed me as a liar and told me what autistic people are 'really like' when in actuality they were wrong. Worse now is that there are lawyers who try using autism as a defense for their clients, saying that autistic people aren't aware of their actions (the same excuse used to plea for insanity).

  9. When she said "someone as useless as me" it hurt me deep inside, i just wanted to reach into my screen a give her a hug. I hope you gave her a huge hug afterwards Nobita!

  10. "I'm glad I found God." - is indeed the perfect word to put it。Her faith is so empowering。God bless us all。

  11. My mom was born and raised in Japan. She only moved to the States when I was born and English (is obviously) her second language. When she visited Japan for the last time before she passed away, she was no longer considered "Japanese" by Japanese people. She was "too Americanized" and her Japanese developed an "accent" from living abroad for too long. This is a woman whose friends were all fellow Japanese in America and they only spoke Japanese to each other, mostly cooked and ate Japanese food every day, rented VHS tapes of Japanese shows. and read Japanese books and magazines... and even she was no longer really Japanese to people in Japan. It's crazy.

  12. Japan could really benefit from more open conversation between family members about uncomfortable topics. Saying this as someone married to a Japanese wife
    3800
  13. I can't imagine what it's like to live in a society where most social interaction is based on picking up nonverbal cues instead of people just telling you things, and then having a disorder that makes it difficult to recognize nonverbal cues.

  14. This is horrifying. I hope their relationship can be repaired.

  15. You should get an award for this Nobita. You are under no real obligation to broadcast subjects other than entertainment but you choose to make intelligent and thought provoking videos that have relevance and great meaning. The road less traveled. You think highly of your audience and honor them with the highest quality you are able to provide; like this video. You are a noble and good man. Thank you.

  16. “like anime, food, women, safety...” Yeah true “...and Nobita” Hmmm yep also true

  17. StillI dislike the paparazzi culture of people filming other human being obsessively. There's an episode of Sting trying to have a normal day at the beach in Italy but having to leave because everyone was filming him which is absolutely cringe

  18. Chris in a way is lucky to have stumbled upon Natsuki, who isn't quite your average Japanese guy to begin with, and Ryotaro, who has lived abroad in native English speaking countries for longer periods of time and has therefore learned to speak English well. Can imagine a lot of other westerners being more unfortunate in that sense.

  19. When I was in a arcade in akihabara playing super dragon ball heroes a guy sat next to me on the other machine to play. I seen he had some cool hard sleeves for his cards and I wanted to know where he got them. So as respectfully as I could I asked in Japanese where to get those sleeves and he showed me on his phone where to get them but not only that he gave me an extra sealed pack he had. I still have that sealed pack just as a reminder of that kindness and I feel he appreciated that I at least attempted to speak Japanese. Best memory!

  20. When she mentioned people reading up on ASD before meeting her it reminded me of a catchphrase from an unknown autistic person: If you've met one autistic person, you've met one autistic person. Autism is a spectrum disorder so the range of symptoms is so wide that you can't apply everything you've learnt about one autistic person to everybody with autism.

  21. As someone who's never lived in Japan (as much as I wanted to), I definitely think there's a negative view of criticism in general. I think the Trash Taste guys criticize Japan because they love the country and its culture. But I also think that same culture is why you won't find Gordon Ramsey in Japanese kitchens. Criticism is seen as disrespectful. Chris also made some stuff about this relentless non-criticism, I especially remember his story about him being filmed to react to some edamame but not edamame, which were supposedly really special, but he just couldn't say anything special about them.

  22. This video should be shown to every girl graduating from high school, whether they are from Japan or anywhere else, so that they may be able to avoid such horrible situations and people. I hope this goes super viral.
    2800
  23. "We should get married to someone we can spend all day without feeling so much stress" That sounds like common sense, but then again... we humans aren't always so sensible 😂
    2800
  24. Man it’s hard to be something when everyone else is something else. Respect for her.

  25. Its scary, sometimes they literally gang up on you. My little sister was on a school trip in Harajuku with her friends (grade 11) and she was approached by 5 guys who basically cornered her and told her that she could earn some extra cash for "souvenirs to take back home" as they were able to tell from her uniform that she's not from Tokyo. Lucky she had her iPhone on here and was quickwitted enough to hit the "find Iphone" button on her own device and initiate the loud beeping sound. It both alerted me - who was interning at a nearby robotics company that someone had triggered the find iphone alert, as well as scare the guys. I'm not too sure what happened after as I try to avoid asking her about the incident, but I excused myself from work and found her quite shaken up. I'm sure she hasn't forgotten it even 3 years later now.

  26. 色んな方に見てもらえて嬉しいです。 Nogitaさん、視聴者の皆さま、ありがとうございます。

  27. The greatest advantage is living in Japan as a foreigner. True, you will never be accepted as a Japanese, BUT you get all the advantages of having a cohesive and well ordered society, without all the disadvantages of having the MANY obligations and demands that a Japanese person has to fulfill.
    2400
  28. It looks like that guy would make a very loving and caring househusband.
    2300
  29. Being a single dad is difficult. Those men are incredible to do what they do.
    2100
  30. If I moved to Japan, I wouldn't mind being treated as a foreigner, as long as people aren't straight up rude to me. But if I was half Japanese, I think it would bother me a lot.

  31. この動画が公開されて、たくさんのコメントを読みました。それが、私にとってすごく励ましになりました。 「海外にはクリスチャンの方がこんなにもいるんだ…」それに衝撃を受けました。心から嬉しくて本当に涙が出た😭日本にいるとどうしても、少数派であるわけで。 今回の動画は「神様が私を慰めるため」に撮らせてくれたのかな。と、神様の愛を感じました。本当に感謝です。 とにかく、海外のクリスチャンの方々のエールが嬉しかった。「クリスチャン」として生きてきたことが、すごく報われた気がしました。 私はこれからもクリスチャンだし、神様を信じなくなることはないけれど「みんなと同じ人間なんだ」ってところで、日本でも分け隔てなく受け入れてもらえたら嬉しい。 ノビタさん本当に、素敵なビデオをありがとうございました。

  32. He got into YouTube at a key time when it was still early in the platform and not saturated with many others doing the name, he respects Japanese culture and rules unlike a lot of modern streamers that have made the news, he puts effort into his videos and productions, and he doesn't mind being silly or the butt of the joke in order to be entertaining. He hasn't had any major scandal or drama in his personal life either that has leaked out to make him appear anything dramatically different than the person he seems like in his videos. It's pretty easy to see why he's easily likeable with most people.

  33. People seem to focus on Connor's role on Trash Taste as "the British guy who complains about everything" to paint him in a bad light when the target audience for that podcast could not be further from the traditional Japanese citizen. It's friends having a blunt conversation about their "trash tastes/takes" and is targeted at casual overseas viewers. Whenever I see him interact with people outside of these settings he always seems super friendly and respectful and it makes me sad that people only consider the open personality he portrays on trash taste and not how he acts outside of that safe, controlled setting. As an individual who finds it difficult to leave his comfort zone I really look up to Connor.

  34. A person who loves his culture is one who directly and honestly addresses its flaws. The fact that Nobita can look at his own culture and genuinely pick out the flaws that are causing so much unhappiness is exactly what makes him so great. If America is doing something right, Japan needs to learn from them. If Germany does something right, Japan should follow. Japan does many things well to be sure, and other countries should learn, but Japan certainly has toxic ideas which need to be rid of for its good.

  35. If I can ever visit Japan, I'd make it a point to be respectful and responsible. Seeing littering and other misbehavior in my own country is disappointing enough, seeing it in the place I want to go is even more frustrating.
    1900
  36. Jesus man. Never would I have ever thought this would ever be an issue in Japan. Good stuff as always Nobita.

  37. Chris is extremely loved both inside and outside Japan because he is incredibly awesome! He provides extremely accurate, and factual, information about living in the Japanese society (as a foreigner), and the lesser known parts of the country (to a foreigner). Chris is also absolutely hilarious to watch and listen to as well!

  38. I don't know why am i here, i'm not even married nor i have a girlfriend. Still stay safe my man <3
    1900
  39. I can't imagine how tired the Japanese tv editors are with their job
    1900
  40. Being Christian is what I'm proud of not because "I consider myself as a good person" but because "I experience God's love,grace and mercy that helps me to became what I am today ".

  41. As an autistic American who has worked on behalf of Autistic Rights Advocacy activism many times in the past, I’ve always been extremely curious about what it’s like for my fellow autistic brothers and sisters all across the planet in other countries like Japan and Britain. So I would occasionally go online to see how things were going in The U.K. and Japan and so on. Thank you for making this video because it’s giving me an opportunity to observe on autistic rights in Japan and see how things are going on over there when I haven’t got the chance to do that for a little while.

  42. This video is a full documentary about Japan's Christianity. I feel Nobita is giving us Premium content, for free. Thank you my friend!
    1800
  43. Respect. He's respectful. He's honest about his opinions and he's willing to say if something is bad but never in a disrespectful way. He does crazy things but always in a respectful way.
    1700
  44. wanna know the hurtful truths about your country? ask the foreigners. applies to every country.
    1700
  45. Basically Japan was *40 years ahead of react trends on YouTube and Twitch 😮🤔
    1700
  46. Now this particular one is a very interesting topic. I know there’s Christians all around the globe but you rarely hear about any in Japan that’s open about it. Awesome work as always Nobita.

  47. Honestly, even in the U.S. those of us who are autistic struggle. Body language and eye contact are difficult for me. It's especially hard when neurotypicals have so many rules about social graces, and much of it can only be read through body language.

  48. This is a worldwide problem, if society continues to put money/work/productivity first and people (and their relationships) second, this trend will continue and intensify

  49. Maybe just take a normal vacation in japan instead.
