That's one thing I love about Mike and the whole band in general; while a lot of artist churn out love song after love song, or break-up song after break-up song, these guys write about things that really matter to them.

I know his dad's story from Fort Minor - Kenji

this guy rocks! he's a real artist!

This video is why I chose Japanese Internment as my History Research Paper Topic

oen of the smartest sophisticated musician we having right now

I love fort minor because they make there songs based on how they feel and what matters to them and that it's not like inappropriate stuff like pop music

I love him, he looks sooo cute!!

LPdedicated the word shikata ga nai, in english means nothing can be done about it, or cannot be helped

👍

Thank you for sharing this video. I appreciate it a lot as a part Japanese/American who had relatives put in internment camps during WW2. I also had relatives who fought in the 100/442nd and also the military intelligence service in the Pacific. Thank you again. My great uncle even got a purple heart while fighting in Italy. Ironically he never fired a shot from his weapon.

I wish he was mine :(

shikata ga nai = can't be helped

I'm always with mike,no matter what...

Respect to u man.brave guy.keep rocking.

Mike is so cute looks like my dad when younger XD !

I talked to my folks (Japanese) when I was younger about these stuff and the things my parents told me were different then the stuff I heard at school. And I told them that and really, they were like "shikataganai" and it sucks cause it gets confusing when you don't know what's the truth... Thank you for this video!!

I love mike

oh ^^ Thank you..!

wow this was deep

mike's so small, he rocks. 1:33 | DETRIMENT - a damage or loss

I LUV HIM

If you believe or not the same thing is now happening here in Europe, espeacially in the Netherlands. "Everyone" who does not look like west-european (regardless your faith) is facing lots of discrimination. I can say it because i experience it every single day...That's why Fort Minors Kenji is so amazingly comparable with the situation here in Europe.

That's an overstatement haha, I can't remember the last time I saw a professional Japanese football player, basketball player, Hockey Player, etc. The list goes on... People are people, don't base it on race.

@polkaspotsss Yes there is 1/8. First full, then 1/2, 1/4, 1/8 lastly 1/16 after that is 1/32 and 1/34.

Mike is my hero.. ^^ love him

Gosh, that's not Mike Shinoda! What happened! Why his voice is so high??!!

are you talking about the word "internment"?

@polkaspotsss Then you would say they are of Japanese descent.

@TehLief How I wish Canadians were more like you. :D

"Shikata ga nai" (?) is like "wayahna" in Sundanese?

oh....

SORRY, i mean SMART SMART! god what 's wrong with me today

why'd he randomly use japanese in the midddle of his sentence...

I love fort minor more then linkinpark ...

@chesterluva123 you couldnt have said it better! mike FTW!!!!! hes fucking awesome

So sad!

Do we honestly care about what you think? And do you honestly think that Mr.Shinoda is going to "note" what you have to say? Please grow up.
