I am not disgusted by the idea of poly relationship but what disgust me is that he DOESN'T tell the people he is dating/sleeping with that he is in such relationship BEFORE he makes them pregnant, that's just unacceptable, as a man I feel absolutely disgusted by this behavior and honestly I hope he faces consequences for those actions

So he cheated on all of them until they found out and convinced three of them to live together. And he's having kids for a legacy. On top of that, he's unemployed. Gross.

A lot of these women didnt know that theyre getting cheated on :( so they ended up leaving .. i feel bad for the kids growing up knowing their dad is like this :/

The wives definitely look like they're convinicing themselves that they're happy being in this situation.

Okay but hear me out: Having less than 60 children with 900 concubines is ... kinda weak tbh.

So many red flags from this guy.. I feel sorry for his kids

Thanks for giving this man a platform. I hope it deters more women from getting with him.

The way the wives say “I’d rather he be jobless so he has time for dates” makes me feel like Japanese people in general are so preoccupied with work and making money that ultimately they want to just “pay for a partner” to just be there to accompany them in their daily lives. Their main issue is also if he doesn’t give them fair attention rather than money so he’s kinda right that being their partner is his “job”…not making judgments just an interesting observation.

This is a weird and improper kind of polygamy. Jokes aside, I hate it when I think about what the children will have to go through.

They didn’t know at first?? That’s.. a bit questionable

I am going to say this outright. I think the the third girl's parents are doing the right thing by telling her to not continue living this way. I would go so far as to say that having that kind of thinking is clear signs that there is something mentally wrong with that person. They are clearly worried about their daughter rightfully so, and hopefully she understands the sheer absurdity and stupidity of this situation.

Wish the girls had talked more. Would have loved to hear more about how they are faring in the relationship, how they interact with each other, if they date other guys, etc.

I think you could've asked if he has contact with his other children or is supporting the mothers of his other children. Because making a women pregnant before telling her, that you are with other women too is kind of a dick move and if she doesn't want this kind of lifestyle she is completely alone with the child, which is a huge burden.

I misread the title as Japan's Strongest Family and I was expecting like some 10 year old bodybuilders lol

Bruh Idk it's quite pathetic really: the guy just treats them as wallets while staying completely jobless and cheating all the time.

This can't be good for all these children, no? You can't possibly be a good father figure to so many kids.

4 wives, 12 children??? Nick Cannon: FINALLY A WORTHY OPPENENT! OUR BATTLE WILL BE LEGENDARY!

ok but like the big problem is that he's not upfront with it to other people that he dates. Like getting in a relationship with someone, having a kid, then them finding out that you're married-- and with that to 4 people... that's just wrong. The polygamy is fine, since people are consenting, but like if you don't know and then you got caught up in it-- isnt' this just manipulative? yea no it is manipulative... the fuck?

There are different formations in polygamy/polyamory, but for the love of god, consent is supposed to be a key element to all of them. Do not do it like him- The fact he (apparently) never let any of those girls he know he was already in a relationship is cheating and is absolutely not the norm for serious poly relationships. While it seems to work out with those four that didn’t (rightfully so) dump him, it brings an incredibly bad stigma to poly relationships as a whole to straight up cheat instead of communicating and setting healthy boundaries and rules.

Oh cool. I didn’t know Netflix was making a live adaptation of “100 girlfriends who really love you” Hopefully westerners don’t influence the making of it

Really not a fan of this one. This guy starts dating people and doesn't tell them he's actively with multiple other women, has kids with them, and many of them leave after finding out. Genuinely a horrible person. I don't mind polygamy but he just straight up doesn't mention it to the women.

As someone who is pro polygamy (not actively taking part in it myself) and can see all the benefits of a large family unit who loves and supports one another, especially in this economy. But how this man is going about it is....gross and disrespectful.

A question for him: Are you RICH as a shogun??? Babies are living beings! Not trophies! Absolutely DISGUSTING.

I don't respect how he goes into having a child so early in relationships? While he may be fine/used to it, he (the women may also have a part) causes widows and children with single parents to spawn like nobody's business. I'm not against the idea of consensual polygamy but the way he goes about it sounds like he's causing mayhem to other people's lives. That's my impression at least

i actually think this man is disgusting. He isn't even taking the thought of the amount of children and upbringing these children will be missing out on. And using these women for nothing but making kids even though they are fine with it is actually insane

This guy is legit insane. Why are people celebrating this

Bro this man has to be arrested or something, he clearly doesn't inform the women that he is dating that he already has multiple wives and children. Bro is ruining the lives of his children, to be able to think of these people as your parent is unbelievable and i feel really bad for them 😭😭

Shinzo Abe's strongest Soldier

Bro's the real life harem anime protagonist

I know this is a big hehe haha to a lot of people, and props to Joey for interviewing them in a humorous and respectful way (I dont agree with the making of this, but at least he didnt go to their house to make fun of them I guess), but I cannot come out of this video with anything other than absolute disgust towards this mf and sadness towards all the women who ever associated themselves with him (currently or not). As a woman who doesn't want children and isn't particularly fond of little kids, it makes me so fucking angry to see that children are only a number to him. He only said he wanted to break a record, he didn't say anything about loving his kids, or how much he would like to care for as many as possible or provide a good future for them (which would be impossible bc ain't no way a highly paid person could provide for a big amount of kids, let alone an unemployed mf). It also disgusts me how he starts the relationship LYING. If you're concealing a part of your involvement with other people while already having a stable partner, you're taking away their decision to stay or leave the situation, and you're deceiving people that might want a regular 2-people deal. You can be poly all you want but don't do it like this. Be upfront with everyone from the start and let them decide if they wanna be poly or not. This is so fucking vile and such a bad rep for actual healthy poly relationships. Last but not least: it saddens me that he lied to some women to the point that they left while having his baby and calling him all those names. This is speculation on my part, but probably some of them only found out about the poly situation after being pregnant, and that's why they left the situation in that manner. This poor excuse of a human being doesn't seem bothered by it, which is even more awful, and even then he keeps saying he wants more kids (more numbers). He won't ever help with raising them nor giving them the attention they deserve or a good father figure, but that doesn't matter to him. And by the way the wives talked about how the 3 of them help each other raise the kids, it sounds more like these 3 are married to each other while having the guy as a sugar baby/fuck buddy they share. I hope they're happy with their decision to stay with him, but in my eyes, they clearly have more cons than pros on their side. Ugh, I wish no girls would give the time of day to guys like him, and I wish he would do right by the partners and kids he already has instead of trying to be famous at other people's expense (both the women and the kids).

Everyone can live their own lifestyle with proper communication and respect for personal boundaries, something he is obviously lacking 😅 The way he speaks about parenting as if it’s a create them all game scenario for children is so disheartening.

HE ACTUALLY DID IT!!! I thought he was joking when he said he'd interview him

So what I got from this: He's a selfish and narcissistic individual, those 3 I'm not sure if they truly enjoy the situation or are spineless womans who got scammed like all the others but instead of having self-respect and leave, they decided to "compromise" - in which case, the perfect kind of target to be preyed upon by him.

This feels like a horror mockumentary where it starts out somewhat normal and gets darker as it progresses

Sounds like he lies to the new women. Makes sure to try to get them pregnant. They find out and leave. Great guy he is

Bro did a review over an article of this family and now got to interview them irl 🔥!!! Damm

this guy is like my sims household

I wish he had interviewed the women more instead of just asking... the obvious questions to the dude. There was a possibility for an interesting story to be revealed here with these women, but nothing is elucidated. This guy is an abuser by cheating and having children he won't support, even if people are staying with him.

29:31 LMAO he became nervous when Joey explained the consequences it had on the babies

YOU DID IT! I remember you making a video a while ago talking about this guy and wanting to interview him. You made it happen. Atta man!

This guy is actually a Japanese harem protagonist for real and I thought that was actually illegal in Japan to have a harem

Since they all agreed to it, it's fine but man, I feel bad for the women. This guy doesn't seem to view them as individuals and they deserve way more than that. You can see the tension in this video even.

I really appreciate the mix of interviewing & educational segments that further expand on some of the aspects of the interview. Keep up the great work Joey!

YES IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS

Watched the whole thing and i still can't believe it

Keep making videos like this!! They're your best videos imo & I know you've mentioned you're more passionate about making these

Really fascinating topic, thanks for covering it, Joey!

Just wanna say Joey I appreciate the editing style shake up you've been doing recently, really freshens up the videos, cheers

I see fluidity in Joey's interview capacity. That's character development💪

You should've asked him whether he'd be okay with a female version of himself being with a ton of men and if society would perceive her in the same way as he's being perceived. Pretty sure the optics would be different.

At this point, it's safe to say that when his grow up, they better make sure that the person they're marrying isn't also a "Watanabe," if the child kept the surname, as there's already a high chance that the other party could be a half-sibling whose mother left him back then.

This lifestyle is not good for the children, but the adults force them to suffer through it to satisfy themselves and their urges.

I don't mind the concept of a poly relationship, however, beating around the bush and having children with women, proceeding to only reveal that you are poly, not once, not twice, not three bloody times. Four times, and it looks like he'll keep doing it if the person dosent know about it from online sources. I find it to be extremely duche like behaviour to treat anyone like this. Rather than going to family therapy, they decided to just live from one another (4th wife). Which does not address an issue within the relationship but simply is an act if running away from it. If you don't even want to talk/look at your partner what do they even mean to you. The wife's also atleast from our understanding of the translated dialogue, the undertone tells us it isn't very "ethical" in a manner. Hearing from how problem are dealt by atleast what's said, shouting or etc etc... It practically let's us know why the 4th wife doesn't feel like living together with him. Ofcourse I'm just some layman making a paragraph about this dude, but I simply find how he treats his partners to he disgusting.

Keep up the great work and videos Joey love the video

The messed up part is that he hides his polygamy from all his partners, waits til they’re pregnant or very attached to him, and then proposes to them, dropping the bomb at that point. That majorly screws over the pregnant ones who are not okay with being cheated on. He’s also naive if he thinks his potential STDs would only last a week. If he gets HIV/AIDs, he and his wives are so screwed. That’s for the rest of your lives. Also it feels like those with the life goal of “spreading their seed” literally have nothing else going for them, so this is the only way they can “leave proof of their existence” since they have no other accomplishments…

I knew that Joey would make a video with this family in the future but didn't expect this video this early.

This man is a minefield of red flags 💀

its so badass that you actually ended up interveiwing them! :D

The Nonsense jacket is looking fire

This man on the mission save Japan from extinction.

Can't believe he actually managed to meet him

I'd love to have 12 children, but only if I got to raise them, no point in just spreading my genes on broken families with higher chances of going dysfunctional. Given modern life's constraints, I'll be happy if I get to 3 or so...

HE ACTUALLY INTERVIEWED HIM! THE MAD LAD HIMSELF! LETS FUCKING GO!!!!!

To me, the women look like they don't really enjoy something throughout the interview. To me, I would guess its the nature of the relationship, but it could be that they are just awkward in this type of interview setting. Either way, I don't get...anything about these people. I can understand that some people will go for for multiple partners and be happy together just fine. What I don't understand is what he brings to the table in this situation...

It’s also interesting how the comment section on the Japanese channel that reported this were focused on the girls’ appearance, like the girls he targets (heavy bangs, slanted eyes, wider face) are “unwanted goods” while the comment section here, it’s as if it’s more of a joke 😅

He did it lmaoo, lesgoo

Great interview!

This man is a narcissist that only cares about him and his legacy. He just took advantage of low self esteem women that can't see the problems. If they already fight for his time with 4 wives how can it get better with more wives ? In the end it will just have a bunch of children that will hate him and that were born just to inflate his ego

Was waiting for this. Hello there xD

While I think it's really awful he doesn't tell them he's polygamous beforehand, the other points in the comments are obviously blinded by prejudice. Unemployment and seeing other women openly are clearly all about perspective, and not objectively bad things.

The fact that none of the women seem happy to be in this arrangement but just want to be with him...

テレビ出てましたね！ ノリノリで面白かったです！😂

This guy is a terrible person for getting women pregnant and then letting them know about his plan. He's destroying a lot of lives and should pay the consequences. The whole massage parlor business idea where he recrutes wives to work there and give him the money is also a gigantic red flag. There's nothing wrong with poly relationship based on mutual respect. I see none here. Just a narcissistic psychopath using people for his goals. I hope he gets famous so that women can avoid him and save themselves from having to raise his kid alone.

DUUUDE JOEY ACTUALLY FOUND THIS GUY FROM VID ON HIS 2ND CHANNEL?!?!? JEEEEZZZ

Finally Joey will interview this heck of a family!!!!

omg he finally did it. He got the interview! ngl I couldn't finish the video mostly because it wasn't that interesting after seeing the title.

So like, these three ladies won the patience test? considering they stayed while the 4th wife left and live on her own?

So basically. His goal is to become the worlds most greatest deadbeat father. Cool

Been waiting for your interview about them. Its interesting to say the least but he should be more open about it. Anyway nice vid man

man glad you did that thanks

The jacket is gas 🔥🔥

NGL this guy is a Groomer .... Joey didn't ask the age of the girls when they met this guy....

The way one of the wives said people overseas would support them but everyone hates him because he deceived and cheated on so many women...

Finally a josh the manga lad video is here❤

This guy's kids are going to HATE his guts, tbh.

very inspiring

🍺🍻 cheers my guy!

I wonder about those 4 other girls. Like why did they call him trash? Did he impregnate them without them knowing that he was married or something?

I wish the wives could have been asked some questions away from Watanabe-San. I feel like there are some things they are (for the lack of a better term) scared to share regarding their true feelings about the situation with him in the room

HE FINALLY GOT THE INTERVIEW! YATTA!

I can get behind polygamy if the people involved are transparent, communicative and have the same rules for each gender. Making children for the sake of it is a no-go but we can't establish that the kids are/will be unhappy. But what concerns me most is that slight mention of "force" being used to resolve conflicts? Twisting arms? I really hope there's no DV.

It's disgusting to give such a human being a platform! But it's good to know how he looks, so people know to avoid him now. It just gives polyamory a bad rap and him the fame he wishes for. I am not watching this video. The comments were enough. I would make this more of a warning video not an interview, and maybe provide the wives with information and possibilities to seek help. They were clearly manipulated to get into the relationship. Non-disclosure is a no-go and with the stance on single motherhood in Japan, these women don't have many possibilities after getting into this mess of a relationship. Disgusting!

This guy just does gta stranger missions in real life

Honestly all the benefits they mentioned about helping each other with babysitting and house cleaning can be found in small communities. Indigenous groups for example, or large families who share the same house or who live nearby. You do not need several wives for that, just supporting people in your life.

You are good at interviewing people.

This was quite the interview. The guy does have a lot of glaring red flags in how he goes about dating, but they're all consenting adults. All the best to them. It would be interesting to hear the perspectives of the ex-girlfriends, especially the initial 12 that he was dating that left (minus the 2 remaining ofc).

Joey interviewing the Japanese sister wives was not on the bingo card this year 😭

Btw, I noticed you were quite briefly on tv for the Anime song ranking a few days ago, for the Eva song bit.

How the hell did you manage to score this holy moly
