US cities are designed for cars, not humans.

Haha this is a nice clip. Takashii being like yeah actually they don't even say sorry am I right

Love the perspective that Takashii gave on why they don’t say sorry if they bump into you accidentally. And it makes sense there’s no reason to apologize if it’s inevitable it’ll happen

She's so bubbly and positive person 😊

Her answer is the most evocative ones I’ve seen on this channel. I really got a feeling of what she was describing.

As an Irish person this would be stressful 😂😂 we even apologise to mannequins we bump into in the store 😂😂 Just walking forward saying sorry sorry sorry on repeat 😂😂😂

Glad the girl is living her dream. I remember watching her videos of studying japanese and moving to japan

I was born and raised in São Paulo, it's the 4th most populous city in the world (about 60% as much as Tokyo), and i definitely miss seeing that many people all the time. Other places just feel dead in comparison.

Also, there’s different pathogens in Japan compared to where you come from. Your body has to take a crash course of all the germs here, kind of like how you might get sick a lot the first few years of school.

Love your KZfaq channel. Enjoy watching it.

I'm from NYC, a very dense city of 8 million people, a city that never sleeps. But I was overwhelmed by the amount of people in Tokyo.

omg you interviewed ananya!!! i love her channel!! what a sick crossover!

She's so charismatic and pretty 😊

I see her on Instagram all the time! Glad y’all got to interview 😊

she's adorable

if people said sorry for bumping into someone while boarding, the whole crowd gonna be saying すみません and there goes your hearing :D

Please do a video on what jobs the foreigners do 🙏🏼

When my daughter was in Tokyo the other day, people in Tokyo don't say sorry when they bump into each other. She was surprised that Tokyo people are cold. Please don't think that the behavior of Tokyo people is customary in Japan as a whole. We live in Kansai Area.

She gives tips for learning Japanese online! She's very helpful :)

I’m from California as well and have been in Tokyo for a month and I felt the exact same way as here. As someone from LA the only people walking outside at night are homeless or up to no good. Kids play in the park here until like 10-11pm and people are walking around at all hours of the night. It’s truly amazing.

Ayee!! Nice to see Ananya around!! 😽

And she is so beautiful

I had this sickness in Melbourne too but in Sydney Australia not weird. Would love to go to tokyo

She is so cute and articulate.

I follow her on IG! I've learned a lot of Japanese from her videos. Love seeing the collab videos Takashi!

When I was studying abroad in rome for the summer, I got sick so often and I think it’s the new environment coupled with all the germs from public transportation:’)

I am really loving ur channel bro , nice work. From Tanzania🇹🇿

Takashis english is getting better and better.

Living in Tokyo is like Christmas shopping every single day

It's interesting how he said that people will bump into you and not say sorry, but the other girl said that on the train people will make sure they don't bump into you and that they are super polite about giving you space

I love that each small city in Tokyo has its own distinctive character.

That is so true. He hit the nail on the head with that one. When it is that busy in Tokyo bumping into someone and turning around to bow and apologize is impossible.

Come to India and see

Come to india you will never see same person in your liftime👍

Hoping and praying that the New Year brings you more opportunities and successful applications that are suitable for your situation so that you can combine work and motherhood Cy 🙏

I've lived in Vegas for yrs&u do have people walking around ( but not on a massive scale) The Car is so dominant!. But this girls seems pretty positive,so she can adapt! And that's the thing sbout traveling it wil take u out of ur Comfort zone!. And wherever u are in the World,is the contrast of Metropolitan vs Urban! It can be quite the challenge in ur own country,let alone traveling abroad!

IT FINALLY HAPPENED IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS COLLAB

She's beautiful

Last one. Good point

I hope to meet you one day and share the experience Hawaiians have with so many Japanese visitors on these islands. Aloha from Hawai'i Takashii 🤙🏽

Same things happened when I moved to Tokyo! I got sick all the time. Now I know better and mask up/clean my hands all the time. Also there are sooo many people! I think I want to move to Osaka next time 😅

She the one who use eye filters in instagram

It’s interesting, some people like busy, crowded cities but I know lots who would HATE being in one. I like cities, but Tokyo would be too much for me long term.

Nobody says sorry when bumping into each other bc they already assume each other are sorry for bumping and assume there was no intention to bump. It’s just practical.

Girl I’m from california too! This is good to know😂

I enjoy this channel 😊

That's what I would love most, seeing people outside. We moved a few years ago from a small neighborhood that was so full of life. You could always see your neighbors sitting outside on their porches, kids running around, community events, people walking to commute, and walking to some local stores and restaurants near our neighborhood. So, now we live in a larger neighborhood and we hardly ever see anyone. We never knew how much we would miss our old neighborhood 😓. This larger empty neighborhood feels so unnatural and creepy at times. It's nice seeing people.

Adorable.

I agree with what she's saying BUT the energy is different. Even though by number Tokyo may have more people, it doesn't have the same aggression and hostility of most North American cities.

As Filipino who is used to walking, totally agree that its a desert on the sidewalks even on malls bcoz majority are on cars vs Tokyo wherein walking and commuting is FTW! -Tambay ng SoCal at Turista sa Japan

Lollll she’s right speaking as a San Diego resident who visited Japan . I also got sick multiple times times

ANANYA ❤❤

Ananya ❤

I want to visit Japan from USA

Lmao the bumping part

I've never been to Tokyo, but the way she describes it, is how I imagine New York to be like 😅

same for me in Korea people bumped into me a lot and no one apologized.. i was the only one🥲

Nice

Mexico City is more packed and busy than any japanese city and people would say sorry.

Don't think to stay but yes you can for holidays

Getting sick so many times in a new country that you have never been in and you just been only 5 months it isn't because of people but because they are different germs that your body is not used to it also in food the food you eat in this new country has stuff that your body is not used to it....

Just like the Star Trek planet from the episode The Mark of Gideon. Just like it!

I got sick multiple times in the 3 months I was in Japan. I just figured it’s because they have different germs in countries that I haven’t built an immunity against yet. But that makes sense :o

Interesting 💜

I’m actually surprised how Japan is so into public transit and stuff considering the fact that a lot of people there are reserved.

..I wonder where in California she's from. People are definitely out pretty heavy from Southern California to the Bay but there are dead areas too.

Like living in São Paulo, Brazil. I get that.

Tokyo = Megalopolis. Just riding the trains during commute hours is an experience. Sardines swimming in tight schools to get into tins for transport. I imagine the novelty of commuting wears off fast, but could live a lifetime and never get tired of the ever changing districts.

The times I’ve been in Tokyo and someone is walking in the same path as I am they won’t yield for you either. One time I decided to also not yield and the person scoffed at me when we bumped into each other like how dare you. lol.

I use the public transport and go by walking all the days to my academy because I don’t have a car (at least is “healthy”) in Sydney

As a Californian you see people out, ar night and both, all the time. It requires going outside.

OG Carlifonian!😅

Tokyo is pretty chill actually, not that crowded. Try Hong Kong if you want to see crowded

I made a similar comment yesterday. I think it's annoying to make similar comments over and over again, so I'll refrain from making comments like this after the next main video. Could you please introduce a foreigner who is half Japanese and half Asian? It may be that half-white and half-black men get more views, but over 80% of Japanese men's international marriages are with Asian women, mainly Chinese, Filipino, and Korean. The rate of international marriages among Japanese men is more than twice as high as the rate of international marriages among Japanese women. When I was born in the 2000s, the number of international marriages between Japanese men and foreign women was 3.5 to 4 times higher than the number of international marriages between Japanese women and foreign men. Basically, more than half of the half-Japanese people with roots in Japan are the children of Japanese men and Asian women. In addition, Korean men have the highest proportion of international marriages among Japanese women, and the number of international marriages between Japanese women and Chinese men is also high, making them the third most common combination among international marriages among Japanese women. Recently, more people are marrying Vietnamese, Filipinos, and Thais than ever before. Your videos are not made to please Westerners as much as videos uploaded by other people. However, I think there is a tendency to upload videos with content that the public likes in order to get more clicks. There are quite a few videos that deviate from the average way of thinking of Japanese people. You are very influential and your ability to manipulate the image of Japan and Japanese people is very strong on KZfaq. My friend, who is the child of a Japanese man and a Chinese woman, also watched your video and wondered why there were no videos of half-Asian people. Please, could you please upload a video about international marriages between Japanese and Asian people, and children of Japanese and half-Asian people?

Its not just about japan, its common in all asia🌏

So like New York

She should visit cities in India...there is so much order in so much chaos... People bumping into one another...the car honkings etc it is full of vibrance and colour compared to being too quite and too few people and lifeless in Western countries like USA ,Canada and many cities in Europe !!

She giving ari vibess

My first time in Tokyo I sat by an escalator and was culture shocked by the sheer number of human bodies that went through that one escalator. It was an ocean of people lol

You just "don't see people walking" outside? I guarantee she is from a small farm town in CA. I live near the beach, and the tourists come like hords, especially the Zonies 🤣

tokyo in fact is the biggest city worldwide

She doesn't wash her hands

Hey California friend. ❤

when i went of the train in Uozaki i got bumped into ''Barely by a bag) and the girl immediately turned around bowed down and said she was sorry. I was shocked by how polite she was. Guess this doesn't apply as much in Tokyo

She has just described a pedestrian country vs a country made for cars

The reason is simple . They live . In a secure world .

Sounds like NYC

I can only imagine now

lol people not saying sorry for bumping in to each other is something I experienced in China too. Thought it was rude at first but after that I just got used to it. I still said sorry even tho i knew they’d most probably not respond. XD

Welcome to Asia 😂😂 I noticed that too Most of American cities were empty

U can feel that she's disappointed The perfect imagine of Tokyo doesn't exist anymore

I use MRT / metro in my city daily, I hope we don't go the way tokyo people do.. We still say sorry if bumped into somebody...

I love it when cities are a bit denser and the public transportation is amazing! Older cities tend to be like this, while new North American cities aren't.... :(

Tokyo is literally the largest city in the world. So, YEAH, there's a lot of people! LOL

😊😊😊

It’s the population density, not how big a city is. Tokyo has 6,100 people per square mile, California has 249. Size wise, Tokyo is alot smaller at 2,194kmsq, where else Cali is 423,970kmsq

Don’t know what part of Cali she’s from but we have a homeless crisis. That alone busies the streets

Where in California is she from? I'm from the Bay where it's common to see people but if you live in the suburbs i can definitely see this

That's because it is safe to walk around in Japan compared to LA or any other Western country or city. Wonder why, but not really, I know why it's safe in Japan.

Another reason why I won't step foot in California.. people there have gas-ass (always driving cars). I'm originally from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, a VERY HUGE city. But it is a very walkable city. Meaning you can go anywhere in Philadelphia, just by walking. In fact, many residents and natives in Philadelphia walk more than thr drive or ride public transportation. Believe me that's my home city, I've walked a lot there.
