Also being a long time fan of Sora, Sora has proven to fans that most Japanese who see Japanese talk in English is instantly American to them. In the stream, Sora said if he got questions wrongs, he will admit to being a weeb and an American, and he did get some questions wrong lol. So when this video shows up, Sora felt emotional damage. Sora trolls being being upset he's American for our entertainment 😂 Yes we already know seriously that Yuta means the VR girl and not Sora 😊

Love the videos! 3:04 A great way to say it in English would be “I can’t stop googling myself.” We’ve learned to use “google” pretty commonly as a verb and not just as the company name. You could also use it to say, “Have you googled yourself?” It sounds funny like a euphemism to imply masturbation but it also works as an actual question to someone. Lol. It can be used regardless of whatever search engine your using.

In Filipino, there are a lot of slang words that are based in English. Examples are keri (carry), which means you can do something with ease; Werpa which is the reverse of pawer (power); Lodi which is the reverse of idol, which means someone you idolize for something so impressive. Filipinos do love reversing syllables in informal communication of the language.

「マウントをとる」は、サルなどの動物が自分の優位性を示すために他の個体に乗っかる行為としてのmountが由来です。この意味のmountingは「マウントをとる」という言葉が出来る前から日本ではよく知られた言葉でした。「メンヘラ」については、英語でもイカれている(crazy)といった意味でmentalと言うことがあるようです。ただ、スラングは言葉の細かい由来やニュアンスの違いが重要です。メンヘラの場合はmental heal(th) + erが由来と考えられます。日本語ではmental healthはもちろん日常語ではなく精神病に関連して用いられます。つまり、意味としてはcrazyというよりpsychoticのほうが近く、さらに軽蔑的な意味合いを含みます。シリアスな意味じゃないと動画では言ってますが、気軽に使っていい言葉ではないですよ。関係ないけど、「エアプ」の4:10でSoraが出てきたのは草だった。
