Hearted Youtube comments on TAKASHii (@takashiifromjapan) channel.

  1. A good friend from high school is half Peruvian and Japanese. It’s always fascinated me that there is such a Japanese presence in Peru. It’s not like the countries are close together so … why? There’s even a great Peruvian restaurant here in Los Angeles that has Japanese owners. Just like that girl said, great food :-) The ceviche is to die for!

  2. I definitely agree with the last guy that traveling is not about luxury.

  4. Quite interesting to hear each Japanese people has different opinions! It’s been a while since I traveled abroad last time due to the Covid situation but your video made me looking forward to the next trip!😆💓

  5. I watch Bocchi the Rock and it is perhaps the best anime I've ever watched. Also, i watched Buddy Daddies, the dark version of Spy x Family and currently Oshi no Ko

  6. Im also an Indian, and I just got admitted to a university in Kyoto. I feel relieved that a fellow indian is doing well in japan, maybe I have a chance there too? But my Japanese level is waaaaay low than his haha. Anyways, nice video Takashi San! I usually don't find Indian people or south Asian people in these "japanese people interviewing foreigners" videos, so I'm really thankful for you! Already subscribed!!!!!

  7. I really applaud the people learning the language, it's a sign of respect, especially moving to said country.

  8. I have learned so much from this. Thank you TAKAshi...by the way, I like the honesty of the last guy you interviewed... I hope Japan's work culture change for the better. It's unfair to have Overtime at work and they don't pay you. That's inhumane. Hopefully, someday there'll be a change in the working hours in Japan. TAKAshi, you can go to New Zealand and explore WWOOFing too.

  9. 4:30 can definitely relate being half Mexican and half Vietnamese. Didn’t feel like I belonged because I didn’t look exactly like either. I wanted to be full Mexican at first, then I wanted to be full Vietnamese/Asian. Then, I realized how blessed I am to be both.

  10. I'm from the U.S. and have always wanted to go back to Japan. It felt so very safe there compared to my own hometown and other places in the U.S. I have been. I look forward to visiting Japan again and thank you so much for these helpful videos. Not only are they helpful and informative, they're very interesting! I hope you have a nice day/evening/night 🙂

  11. About the Australian guy. Congratulations, Takashi. You found yourself a new friend

  13. It's extremely beautiful and cool seeing how many foreigners love the U.S because of our freedoms when truthfully, we have gotten so divisive. This serves as a perfect example of how at its core, we mostly want the same simple things. Thanks for the great content! 🤙🏿🍫

  14. I loved Kyoto! But very true, you don’t see a lot of laughing going on in the streets compared to Tokyo and Osaka, it’s a rather quiet City, even during busy tourist season. It’s a beautiful city though.
    155
  15. Nana is the only answer for me. A lot of young women can relate to the themes in it and it's realistic with very flawed characters.
    154
  16. It saddens me that America has gotten into such a negative state right now that people are too scared to come here. It makes sense though tbh
    154
  17. In Finland we also take shoes off when going to own or anyones house and in some other places too. I've never understood why that isn't normal for everybody. Why to mess up your house with all crap that comes from bottom of your shoes.

  19. the first two guys perfectly summed up my experience learning english. but somehow i haven’t been able to replicate it for japanese. it’s also worth noting that i’ve been hesitant to immerse myself in japanese by fear of losing my english.

  20. This video is really good, my friend who is Black-American wants to go to Japan so badly.... but he is worried of the racism, so I am going to share this to him to show it's ok. He is trying to understand Japanese Culture a lot, he got a good idea from some of his friends and such. He told me that "He mostly got interested about that culture because of anime, but a big part of it was interacting with you." Saying that he wanted to learn MY culture of where I came from and how my life is, so he went ahead and started studying. We did date before, it only lasted a few days. No racism or anything bad, but we are SUPER close friends that we both felt uncomfortable. We still are really good friends, and he wants to help with my biological family's business. So he wants to come with me when I do go back home, so he is super excited. We just have to wait a bit longer on my side for my biological family to give us the ok, but everyone cant wait till the boarders are fully open. 😁💖 so if we do bump in to each other, maybe you can asked my friend some questions including me of how we see Japanese People in the US. Not like typical "oh they are super nice!" And such like that, but how we saw them as "foreigners" in US.

  21. I love sci-fi anime, so Psycho-Pass, Ghost In The Shell, and Steins; Gate are definitely favs of mine. Also loved 86 and hope they'll continue it.
    152
  22. My favorite anime is Jojo’s Bizzare Adventure. It’s absolutely incredible and a 10/10 in my opinion. The story progression, art style, and CHARACTERS and MUSIC are what make it so amazing. it’s actually funny because people have told me it’s not a good first anime since “it can be difficult to get into, etc.”, but it was my first anime and now it’s my favorite show of all time. Highly recommend!!
    152
  23. I think the Anime they talk about at 3:20 is „Cells at work“ or „Hataraku Saibou“. Atleast that’s the only Anime I know that’s about blood cells lol
    152
  24. Great interview! She's very well spoken. And I just realized she was on the "Love Is Blind - Japan" reality Netflix show. I thought she looked familiar! Great to see her again!
    152
  25. Nice job on the interviews. In Los Angeles, half Japanese-half American are very common so it was nice hearing their perspectives from Tennessee, Kentucky and New York. It’s great they can enjoy aspects of both cultures.
    152
  26. You are documenting history through these interviews in general. Keep up the great work!!!
    151
  27. As I understand it, to live in Japan as a foreigner is to be an eternal guest.
    151
  28. Hey Takashii! Just a small tip, instead of saying “Do you have an opinion?” you should say “What is your opinion on that?”. It is more grammatically correct. I hope I helped you out😊
    151
  29. You should have asked the first guy to teach you French. 😂 A lot of learnings from different foreigners. I guess it's important to learn the language of the country where you want to move to. Very cool content, man.
    151
  30. She's a bundle of energy. Very sweet and chatty.
    150
  31. First woman really went through a lot ❤️🌷😭

  32. I'm Asian American and studied abroad in Japan for a year. I pretty much blended in in terms of looks. People didn't really suspect me of being a foreigner until I speak English or Cantonese or the little Korean I knew with my friends, or sometimes by the way I dressed (it was so humid there, I'd go to class in shorts and a tank top at times which isn't a thing there). I spoke English with my American counterpart on an elevator once, and this middle-aged salaryman was like, "Wow...your English is amazing." haha I have to agree with the two women from the Philippines about having difficulty expressing oneself amongst Japanese people. I feel like they're very conservative and even if they disagree with something, they may not voice that; however, they may agree with someone who does (I see it happen in some of these online interviews of Japanese people as well). I'm...different. Being American, I'm not really afraid to express my opinions, especially when something is wrong; on the other hand, I understood where they're coming from since my parents came from Asia, so our household culture is still very traditional. I was often told that my 正義感が強い, or that my sense of justice is strong, because I'd often stick up for my fellow Asian dorm mates, who might let people walk over them because they're afraid of stirring up trouble. Despite being a female, I'm also rough around the edges, so I do tend to intimidate people (not intentionally). I took a Korean class one semester. The teacher also taught Japanese at the Japanese Institute, so he recognized me and my Taiwanese dormmate. He asked us if it was weird, coming to Japan to study Japanese and yet taking a Korean class taught in Japanese. He made us introduce ourselves in front of our Japanese classmates. Let's just say....no one really wanted to sit near us or partner up with us when we practiced Korean even though we spoke Japanese at an advanced level.

  33. Ask Japanese people about their favourite foreign movies or actress, actors.. or what tv show do they watch regularly.. Do they watch them for to get better in speaking English or they just happens to like that show... or ask them about some popular movies or tv series what is their opinion... I believe these would be some good questions..
    149
  34. Japanese people really got good taste. Golden kamuy is truly underrated and is a must watch!
    147
  35. Video idea: if you can find any Japanese people in Thailand (or any other country you visit), interview them on their experience being abroad and the differences between Japan and the foreign country
    146
  36. Very interesting interviews. Yes, kids in school can be very mean and cruel. I think that is universal.
    145
  37. For the people who won't watch the whole video and make fun about this guy. He's fully aware that it's a character, that is not real and that has no feelings. He's married to her because he needed someone, which he never got, making him look for anything that could help him, and he found it with Miku, a friend that wouldn't say mean things to him, wouldn't judge him nor would leave him. I personally understand all he says because I don't like the majority of flesh-and-blood people nowadays. It's so hard to find someone who isn't fake. Doing something like this sounds a thousand times better than having to deal with a real relationship (to me). I have never been hurt; I'm not saying this because of revenge. I'm just saying it because that's how I see things from my experience socializing.

  38. Takashii reacting to the German man saying he's a model was so lovely
    143
  39. My heart hurts for those kids. How bad does it have to be to go there and throw away childhood? And I can't believe tourist take pictures of them. If any of them somehow ends up reading this, I wish I could tell them that it's never too late to turn your life around and do something new. You are worth trying!
    143
  40. As someone who often travels to Japan, the thing that shocks me the most is the size of shower room. It is hard for me to take shower due to the small size and not enough space inside 🕒 The water is clean!
    143
  41. I’m half Danish half Japanese and I find it super interesting to see how different everyone is! I love that you made a part two to show how diverse the “mixed” community is. Even my story is different from the ones I’ve seen here in this video. Fascinating.
    143
  42. When the first lady introduced herself in French, I laughed at your facial expression, since you've mentioned in your previous IG live that you wanted to learn French for a long time. 😂 Anyways, great video! 素晴らしい！
    143
  43. Enjoyed your topic, but you could have interviewed foreigners of different races to have more diverse examples about racism in Japan. Just a suggestion.
    142
  44. I love it how you always ask us "how was that?" and then answer the question immediately "that was interesting" haha
    142
  45. 自分は50歳のおっさんですが、若い子達は若い子達なりにアニメを楽しんでいて本当に嬉しく感じます！ 自分たちの世代、当然若い子達が見ているアニメも見ると思いますが、ガンダムとかヤマトとか今では 古典とされるようなアニメも秀逸なのが揃っていて、それを見る必要はないと思うけど、そういったアニメの 系譜としての見方もあってそこも凄く楽しめてワクワクしてしまいますね！日本のアニメ文化に幸あれ！ I'm a 50-year-old man, but I'm really happy that young people are enjoying anime in their own way! My generation, of course, will watch the anime that young people watch, but there are excellent anime such as Gundam and Yamato that are now considered classics, so I don't think it's necessary to watch them. However, there is also a way of looking at it as an anime genealogy, so I am really enjoying it and getting excited about it! Good luck with Japanese anime culture!
    142
  46. Hi Takashii I have a video idea... You should interview Japanese School Students! Ask them what it's like to be a Student in a Japanese School, ask what they like or maybe don't like about going to school in Japan, and ask if it's a good idea for foreigners to study in Japan!
    142
  47. This is a very interesting topic! I moved to Japan from Canada in the summer and I’ve taken a huge salary cut to do so (changed careers, I used to work in finance and hated it, but I took a 53% salary decrease - which really hurts 😅) And since then, I’ve wondered why the Japanese economy is struggling, even after the boarders reopened for tourism. I think everyone had a really interesting insight to this topic Thank you for the video!
    142
  48. The way he speaks english sounds super japanese in the cadence and rhythm its interesting
    142
  49. She brought up the important points about Japan.... it’s a land of smoke and mirrors, people don’t get how bad it is here in Japan till they live here for long term, it’s also why so many foreigners leave within 10 year and end up never wanting to come back..
    141
  50. As an American I love Japan :3 Also yeah I feel like America is more expensive in things it shouldn’t be like health and transportation which makes it a lot harder for people who don’t have a lot of money to get by which is probably one of the reasons why there’s such a big gap between rich and poor
