Hearted Youtube comments on TAKASHii (@takashiifromjapan) channel.

  1. My Indian bro got his priorities straight xD 🙌🏼. Nice interview Takashi-san, looking forward to more videos. I'm subbed to the channel. Greetings from India 🇮🇳.

  2. As a Ukrainian, I'm glad to see that people in Japan know about this war and support us, even though they are far away from it. It's tough, but we're staying strong 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦 Takashi, thanks for this video!

  3. The interviews were eye-opening and informative. I am glad that the people who interviewed were absolutely honest in their feelings about their culture, skin tone, and bi-racial treatment in both of their race background.

  4. It's been a while, "how was it that was interesting" still my favourite part to watch😂. Have you done a video about where locals prefer to go on weekends vs where foreigners prefer to go on weekends?

  5. That’s “code-switching.” I do it too when I change between English🇺🇸 and “le français.” 🇫🇷

  6. I am currently working in Tokyo as a software engineer. We are encouraged to work efficiently, so I would say 90% of the time everyone gets to go home on time. A lot of it comes down to being realistic in project planning and resource allocation. We also get to use our vacation leave without guilt, which I know other companies give their employees a hard time for. This is a regular Japanese company, not a gaishikei, but staffed with foreign engineers.

  7. 1:30 Takashi, "Arabic" is the noun referring to the language (Arabic). Arab(s) is the nationality / ethnicity.

  8. I think it's easy to laugh at something so outlandish at first, but I understand the pain in his decision in not marrying a real person. I admire his tenacity to continue on with Miku. His situation, I fear, will be more common with AI coming more prevalent in today's society too. I have no clue how he does it; if I were him I would be too jealous of anyone else that wants to be with Hatsune Miku too! lol

  9. Also I'm really happy to hear you will do the international couples interviews. I really want to know the issues foreigners can have while dating a Japanese person because I really do care for making it work out for myself so I want to get educated by people having similiar experiences.

  10. I will say one thing I noticed as a foreign guy living in Japan who works in education and used to go to things like language exchange events, I find in general there are way more girls interested in English and foreign cultures than men. From my experience, the students who are most interested and most active participants in my elementary English classes are girls, I also judged a high school English speech contest that had nearly 40 girl students and less than 5 guys who were participants, and found both language exchange events and language exchange apps had predominantly Japanese women users.

  11. I left my wallet on a counter by accident when asking for directions at a train station as I was in a rush to get to a regional train. I was making my way to my train platform and was stuck at where you have to scan your tickets. Next thing I know it the lad I spoken to had ran across the station and handed me my wallet. I was blown away by the gesture and amazed he’d had found me so quickly, but guess he knew where I was going and I stood out regardless to others around me. Still it was one of many positive interactions I had in Japan.

  12. 最後の二人「国に帰れ」って言った子の事笑いながら流してるけど、本当は結構辛いからねそういう事言われるの。うちもそういうさべつを味わった一人だから

  13. Those two guys at the park were so cool and deep in their answers. Takashi should have spend more time talking to them.
    489
  14. Could you interview people from countryside about the population discrepancy between city and villages?
    489
  15. Takashii...what a bunch of characters 😂😆 i love this video...every problem you have shown so far is the same problem everywhere else...big hugs to you and Japan as always.
    489
  16. I understand that japan doesn't necessarally "produce" tall people but every time smn said i prefer taller girls id expect more than 170 and they'd start at 160 loll
    488
  17. I think JLPT is helpful, as a guideline on what path should you take when learning japanese. First you learn basic grammar and ますform, and then gradually you move towards casual form and then formal Japanese. Of course its easy to say 'just go watch anime/drama/read manga/talk to people' but not everyone have a lot of free time. This is how a lot of people study english too. We both study at school and immerse a lot. Studying at school help (most) people to be able to talk and understand english.

  18. I am a woman from germany and lived in Japan, Sapporo. Sometimes men were following me at the train station, supermarket or Tsutaya. They were creepy, but didnt do anything. That never happened in my life before, but in Japan quite often (and i dont wear sexy cloth. I was wearing normal japanese fashion) One time i forgot my bag with drugstore products in the supermarket and i got it back. That was great. I heard from others they forgot their umbrella in the train and got it back

  19. Thank you for this video. Seems like Indians get stereotyped and discriminated against by other foreign races/nationalities.

  20. man who mention samurai champloo has real taste in anime
    484
  21. Though it's strict and expensive, I still love Japan because the country is clean and the people are polite. Love from your neighbor 😊✨🇰🇷

  22. Video idea: what culture shock did you experience when you first visited Japan?
    481
  23. There needs to be more done to solve issues of homelessness, mental illness, and substance dependency worldwide. Dignity is a human right.
    476
  24. One Piece and Hunter x Hunter are classics which I both love, but hearing someone say Golden Boy caught me off guard and made me smile. A very cultured gentleman who knows his stuff 👏
    476
  25. "Travelling is one of the best gifts that you can give to yourself and your loved ones." Praying and hoping for better days. Great video! ✌️
    474
  26. Im half Japanese half Turkish. I was born in Japan, but after 6 years, my parents divorced and moved to İstanbul with my mom. Umfortunately I didnt speak Turkish at the time so I felt really left out when I started school, so I told my mom to stop talking Japanese with me. Now I am 32 and I can only speak Japanese in very light conversations. But I am glad I live in İstanbul cuz I am a hyper and outgoing person and Turkish culture is so. Im like that half Columbian dude at the end. I kinda feel like If I was living in Japan, I would be forced to be more quiet, passive and obeying type of person.

  27. As someone whos Half Japanese, Half Puerto Rican growing up in the states I've always wanted to visit Japan, but I've been a little nervous. it's nice to get an understanding of what it's like for local mixed Japanese people. Thank you for sharing!
    473
  28. We appreciate your interviews. They're insightful.
    471
  29. "Yup, I'd recommend oreimo." "What genre is it?" ""Ah... I don't know... that's a bit difficult." IT IS AN ANIME ABOUT FALLING IN LOVE WITH YOUR LITERAL SISTER AND MARRYING HER

  30. For someone who left the States at 11, Priyanka's English is outstanding. She seems like a very nice, intelligent woman. Takashii, this is another great interview!
    466
  31. I love that when everyone starts speaking Japanese it sounds so fluent for me 😆 Im also learning the language hopefully one day I can do that too
    463
  32. The first guy is from UK originally, but I was not expecting his English accent to be similar to an American one. 😂 Again, the diversity of the people in this video is just awesome. Good job, Takashi-san! ✌️

  33. As the father of a very young Eurasian child it saddens me that many people in vids/comments talk about experiencing racism or bullying. But at the same time, it's nice to see how these people turned out OK.

  34. In Japan, there is a noticeable problem in society: it has evolved into a purely work-oriented society.  How can we expect average or low-income earners to dedicate enough time to their children, family, or reproduction when they have long working hours, minimal vacation time, and potentially social obligations towards their business partners and colleagues? The working hours are excessively long, and vacations are too short. While most Japanese people earn more compared to other countries, they also have higher expenses.  Personally, if I were in their shoes, I wouldn't feel inclined to consider having children either. In my opinion, only well-off individuals can afford to have children without much concern, as they can handle a parent being absent from work for a few weeks or months or even partially or fully devoting themselves to household duties for the family. Furthermore, the immigration of foreigners will not significantly alleviate the situation. It is necessary for there to be a change in the excessively intense work culture, which is far from promoting a healthy and social environment within Japanese society. Without reforms that prioritize leisure time and improved salaries, as an impartial observer, I unfortunately see little hope for Japan.  It's truly unfortunate because Japan possesses a fascinating culture and traditions.

  35. even if you don't agree lgbtq we should treat each other with respect

  36. Thank you again for this very very interesting video. I see half black and half Japanese very attractive-looking! Also there was a Miss Japan in 2015, Ariana Miyamoto, with half black American and half Japanese roots. She was first Miss Japan, who was half Japanese. She also placed in top ten at Miss Universe 2015.

  37. The Tanzanian woman is my new inspiration now. :') ❤️ You go girl. Absolutely love your confidence. 💯

  38. My Japanese fiance misses the real Mexican tacos when she visited me in California. Mexican-American and Japanese culture have surprisingly some things in common and speaking Spanish helped my Japanese to sound more native and easier to pronounce words too.
    458
  39. Next video please Ask Japanese people about their fashion and how much it costs
    458
  40. Very impressed with how you so naturally got the guy at 4:18 comfortable. He initially didn't seem interested in conversation, but he clearly got more comfortable with how you kept questions simple and had a genuine, relaxed posture and behavior. You'll get genuine answers doing so. Seriously just love the way you interact with people. I'm not fond of some of my fellow U.S. citizens there, but some of my favorite people to work with were Marines, so it's a dynamic situation. I wish the best for Okinawa and the Okinawan people.
    457
  41. I'm glad that Raima drill wants to know her Nigerian side. We, Nigerians do love a party and we are hospitable, respectful and have a rich culture. You are lucky to have both bloods ( Japanese and Nigerian blood). Two rich cultures.
    454
  42. " It's not worth being in Japan if you don't talk to Japanese people " I like that.
    450
  43. "When you like someone, you can't explain why" "If we got a chance to talk and things went well" ❤
    449
  44. It’s sad that they saw more negativity than positives in the states. I really don’t blame them for not wanting to come back. Hope they do get a better experience if they do plan on visiting again in the future.
    446
  45. She is so mature and intelligent just to be 19. Very pretty too. Wish I could have experienced what she is, when I was 19. I would prefer also to live in countryside over living in big city. Mainly because I’m outdoors person, and love to hike ,fish , and camp.
    446
  46. All of them speak at least 3 languages, this is amazing!
    445
  47. "The size of a hamburger" Made my day
    443
  48. Even if I am living from 5 years in いなか、I have never experienced discrimination. The thing that japanese talk to you in english when you are perfectly able to speak in japanese is more annoying than discrimination 😂
    441
  49. I’m from the US and let me tell you, there are so many people over here who would love to be in a relationship with someone from Japan, it’s astonishing. The way the people in your interview feel is the exact same way the people here feel. There’s a lot of ideas they have preconceived on why relationships wouldn’t work out if they were to date someone from Japan. Personally, I think they never know until they try it. It could work out and be amazing

  50. I was about to consider living in Kyoto for a short time! Very on point. When I used to live in Tokyo, I visited Kyoto a lot. For some reason, I would always feel much more... Gaijin in Kyoto. Couldn't shake the feeling. I think from seeing this video... Maybe Osaka is the place to be, not Kyoto 😅. I remember once me and a friend went to a cafe in Osaka, in some non touristy area that we wandered through. As the shop was closing we slowly wandered to the nearest train station about a mile away and she couldn't find her wallet anywhere. After searching for a bit out of nowhere the ojisan from the cafe comes running at a full sprint to the train station to give it to her! A man in his minimum 50s! I will never forget that.
