Bro eating a bowl of gyudon in the middle of an idol performance is actually peak comedy

The gyudon guy is a very literal living meme. He's keeping the meme alive as much as the meme is keeping him alive. I aspire to be like him.

about the 米国 = America part, i believe the explanation in the video is correct but there’s an explanation which is more well known-ish here in japan which says that it’s taken from the old way to write America which is 亜米利加(literally just a combination of kanjis that reads “Amerika”), but the first kanji (亜) is already used for the spelling of Asia(亜細亜) so they went for the 2nd kanji, 米 and it turned into 米国

Japanese wordplay is so funny and same time genius if you misread it it changes the whole sentence.

0:54 it’s really beautiful how there’s an ape in all of us. Deep in our hearts.

Nothing quite like watching a fun streamer have live rage-fuelled aneurysms

Your explanations of the puns were all on point. The NATO/NATTO meme was especially good.

The Kawa drink genuinely made me laugh out loud. caught me off guard.

The "horse girl app" thing short-circuited my brain for a sec 😂 i was not ready for the game footage

With Genbaneko, the worker cat meme you've referenced, you actually got his origin backwards ^^;; He was originally a meme that formed as a variation of the "phone cat" meme, and evolved into primarily depicting workplace incidents. He became so well known as the "workplace incident cat," that he ended up being co-opted as the mascot for the Japanese equivalent of OSHA, and is used to depict examples of what not to do! So rather than a mascot that became a meme, he was a meme that became a mascot!

I loved how cruel the 自動 one was

I was half-expecting him to end the story with "yeah and now we've been married for 2 years" but that was good too

I sent that NATTO tweet to my Japanese friend and it was the first thing she read at 5 in the morning. Let me tell you, she woke up QUICK xD. By the time she noticed that the world is in fact NOT ENDING, she was wide awake xD

I died at the part where the old guy drank Monster💀 Now that I’ve seen it as 川 I can’t unsee it also lmaoo, also the Soviet Union didn’t exist during WWI so I guess that guy didn’t realize that

i've been replaying 4:18 - 4:44 for way too much times now, god i love japanese wordplay 😂

4:40 I can't stop laughing. I didn't expect it to be this straight forward.

私は英語を学習中の日本人です。すでに知っているミームを英語で再度聞いてまた笑えるのが楽しいし、投稿者さん簡潔に背景を説明されるのがすごくお上手だと思います…！(私も英語話者の友人に日本のミームを紹介することがあるのですが、長い説明をしている間に面白さが無くなります)

7:28 I would be that guy too dense to get the pun, too scared to ask anyone why it wont open, and just stand there like the baka gaijin that I am

結構いろんな日本のネタ取り上げられてて嬉しい😂

カバー力がバーカと読めるのも本当に日本人でも見分けるのが大変ww

4:38 I sounded like a broken car laughing about this :`)

0:54 I would recognize those monkee screechs any-giba-where!!!

Manarisu's back! He's got some awesome resolve

I was laughing so much when the Gary's story came up not because of the story itself but because of the very heavy Aussie accent

now i'll always call monster energy 川 lol

I thought the wordplay was very clear, thank you for the explanation!

As a Japanese person, I think this person understands Japan better than any other Japanese. I think more Japanese people should watch this video.

3:58 後ろにユニコーンガンダムあってて草

2:24 I don't know when i last burst out laughing like that, but the comment on that clip sent me over the edge.

I love how Manarisu is basically a living experiment about eating beef bowls for 4 years straight

I was shook when I saw the lady drinking the shoyu. that's like seeing someone knock back some Worcestershire sauce.

1:42 Reminds me of british people laughing at Americans drinking straight Ribena

0:30 yo wtf he's really good at drawing

0:54 Most hinged Japanese streamer xD Manarisu, what a legend lol. He'll never stop eating Gyudon, even when he's in the middle of concert *"That's great but can the dog get you a job"* Asian mom moment right there 🤣 Someone won't fell for that sus 自動 right??? Lol

The multi-level marketing really hit home - that exact situation happened to me lol.

0:46 Japanese Speed.

Your channel is so nice, you really found your own niche. I really like how you break down things and I learned a lot about Japan that I have never heard anywhere else before. Your channel has really big potential. Could you make a video about common Japanese Internet slang in the future?

Oh my lord! We NEED more Gary stories he has such a fun storytelling voice. OH AND JAPANALYSIS IS ONLY 4K AWAY FROM 100K Lets gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

@ 2:45 The Chinese correctly translates the Monster logo. Remember that the logo is 666 in Hebrew. 666 in Chinese Monster claw. (Monster claws are a common trait with Hebrew talking people according to Borat who himself is a Hebrew.)

The memes are great a nice blend of weird/unique and interesting things made into jokes

This is so interesting cuz in Chinese social media we been using 米国 for USA as slang from time to time because Chinese pronunciation of 米 is (mī) which is very similar to 美 (mei) and it’s 米 is easier to type or write compare to 美 but I’ve never thought is from Japan! Big help

日本を紹介してくれてありがとな

8:00 well, as an other people say this too, it’s not Chinese reading. “米” is short use for US right, but it’s from “亜米利加” in Japanese pronunciation. (It’s America - amerika ) It’s tiny thing but we’re glad if you’re interested in these differences TY😊

What a wholesome story at the end!

glad to see a new episode, keep it up!

Great video as usual. Your friend’s story reminds me of something similar that happened to me a few years ago. Got a visit from a Jehovah’s Witness couple, who wanted to discuss God and stuff. I invited them in to play Mario Party and said if they beat me, I’d attend their group meeting. We talked a lot about religion (I’m agnostic). It was a rather pleasant conversation, even if I didn’t agree with all their views. I fortunately came first and didn’t have to follow through with my gamble. They came only once again to give me chocolate and coffee to say thanks for the chat and the game. It was pretty wholesome. Also the famous 牛丼 guy makes me a little sad because I lived at Yoshinoya for like a year when I wasn’t good at cooking and I didn’t get any recognition, ha ha.

the america kanji lore got me laughing so hard, that was so good

That lady (Tnakachan)is literally ishowspeed of Japan

i really love this channel! keep up the good work man!

Love the videos, man. Keep it up!!!

as always your videos are a treat

God literally delivered a date right to your bros door and he didn't take the shot 😭

Great video as always but I can't stop laughing at the preview. You did it, you mastered the clickbait picture :D

akshually here in mainland china we call monster energy 魔爪 (mo2zhua3) which gives the same evil vibe as 鬼爪 imo 😂

4:18 is literally my sense of humour. It's just taking a sentence and tweaking some letters to change the meaning entirely, to make it funnier. I love knowing that even in Japan, people do this. That dude sending the dog gas mask when asked about getting a job, is peak ADHD. 7:22 is a next level troll 😂

The story at the end was soo cute. He let her in and fed her. I hope they exchanged numbers but he didnt tell anyone.

i was wondering about japanese memes one day and while watching this video, for no reason i felt the urge to watch boondocks in japanese. it was great

The "oni" kanji in Japan means "ghost" in Chinese.

2:17 Monster Energy asked the Japanese government to prohibit the specification of the word "川" because of the similarity of the word "川" to its own brand. This is a joke lol.

i rlly like these videos, please do more!

6:50 MLM, various cults and other large-scale scams are absolutely huge in Japan, so yeah.

Congratulations for reaching 100k!

Fun Fact : "Kawa" means "coffee" in Polish.

I understood the NATTO pun thanks to you, but ngl before the explanation I was just like 🤨

3:16 Vinny: *WHAAAAAT!?*

1:55 i thought it was just me

I always assumed the automatic doors were an attempt to keep in the ludicrous amounts of AC every japanese store has. Everytime I wisit Japan I get a cold within three days.

2:22 I can hear the Monster rushing through his veins.

Loved finally hearing Gary's voice in your video telling his story, after being included as a side character in many of your stories in previous videos!

That poor old guy drinking monster lmfaoo. I shouldn't find it funny but that comment too made me chuckle.

GRAMPS CHUGGING THEM MONSTERS

4:38 I would've never, in my five years of studying japanese, expected it to end with a tsundere girlfriend sound (edit: if you learn one language, you forget another. I totally didn't just make a stupid grammar mistake)

Trying to learn Japanese but its really difficult with how the characters (Kanji) have multiple readings and a lot look similar and even more so with the use of certain fonts. I'm not great at self study since I'm terrible with almost anything academic so I think I'll need a teacher regardless. I have heard bad things about language schools not really caring if you fall behind and that makes me worry since I bad I am slow too. Any ideas on how I can learn better since my dream is to live in Japan one day for the rest of my life and escape western culture and enjoy the Japanese country side.

btw, kawa in polish means coffee so I was laughing about it

That kawa drink looks delicious

Love your channel 😂❤

best video yet, do some more

Monster is the drink of Kanagawa! And if you live in Kawasaki, you drink two.

Bro the old man with the monster is crazy💀💀💀💀💀😭😭

the story at the end was kinda wholesome :))

There's little amount of things that bring me genuine joy, and the combination of your content, tone, Japanese culture, memes and this very heart melting background music, is among the list. Thank you so much for your work. May somebody id the song for me please? ありがとう

Hell yeah, get that sponsor money brother. Thanks for another banger.

8:24 I'm so flattered to hear that 'America' in Chinese uses the kanji for 'beautiful'. Guess the Chinese never visited Ohio. the 'rice' kanji definitely suits us more

the worst doors are those with buttons that you have to press a little harder for them to open, i can never tell if they are closed and locked or if I'm just not pushing hard enough

The little working cat guy was the first gatchapon I bought when I arrived in Japan. He's become a favorite character of mine

"Jet lag the game" also did that exact same thing with the sauce. (Episode 2 of Capture The Flag).

Japanalysis rock!

0:06 It's so strangley cute

Adorable and well-explained!

"River" and "Demon Claw", the duality of Monster.

Thank you, I've seen so many memes that mutated out of that cat but I could never figure out how to find out about the original.

Hey Japanalysis can you stop the video for a second I'm in the middle of a ranked match thx

The 川 meme is the funniest for me. It reminds me of the time I ordered 7up in a non-English speaking country by calling it Seven Up. I got a very confused look in response.

Holy crap the streamer had me dying she straight up sounds like a monkey 💀

The Texas accent was hilarious, coming from an authentic Texas native

I did something similar to the dipping sauce thing. Except it was a type of vinegar in a drinks carton. I downed the whole thing and instantly regretted it.

Since Uma Musume is mentioned... Konami sued Cygames for having a similar support system in Uma Musume. They seek 4 billion yen to compensate for 'damages'.

Correction - Chinese words are not abbreviate. It is the other way round - other languages used phonetic to say the names of the countries in Chinese. Thus it is longer. 米国 is also not a Japanese only thing. In Chinese dialect Teochew - USA is pronounced as Mi Gou ( phonetic ). The Mi is pronounced the same way as you would pronounce the Chinese word 米 which mean rice.

8:23 - Don't catch you slippin' now. Don't catch you slippin' now. Look what I'm whippin' now.
