Kawasaki is a Chad

@@JonnySnow99 lol he's doing it two

Chad desu

@@leof8887 too*

Well, it’s understandable. Considering his English was very very minimal nd basic. His confidence at least was admirable

His japanese is not polite, so he sounds very charming in japanese too

@@leredditcommander8208 not polite as in Frank/friendly/Casual or Rude ?

It's interesting that he lowers his voice when speaking japanese and raises it when speaking engish

@@koraegi its really just the overall tone of japanese if you speak the language correctly, as a japanese, my japanese speaking voice is naturally lower, but i have to increase my pitch when speaking english to pronounce the words properly especially since the two languages' pronunciations are very different

@@manz007 Casual. He's not using Keigo (formal) which you normally use when talking to anyone outside your circle of friends and family.

What year is this from?

The funniest part at the beginning wasn’t translated so allow me. After he said he didn’t understand why he needed a translator as he was a man...he also said, “ I don’t need to go pee side-by-side with another man.” He didn’t say it in the way he discriminated against homosexuals, though. 😂

@@Benny-uf4wk Comment reported.

@@Benny-uf4wk I'm Japanese, can you give me the timestamp where he says that? I didn't hear him say anything like that.

00:10 からですね。「意味分からない、そう言うの、男で、連れ添って、オカマ、、、(と言いかけてやめる) 連れションとか大嫌い、近くにいるの」 つまりは男のくせに四六時中一緒に要るなんて女々しい、気持ち悪いって感じに伝わってきます。 連れションmeans going to the bathroom together like many Japanese schoolgirls do during their recess because they don’t want to go by themselves but this is the word we normally use for men. It means more like peeing side-by-side. Anyway, he is trying to say he can’t understand why he has to hang out with another man all the time like those other players who are with their interpreters all the time. I can tell he’s expressing his awkwardness here by bringing the example. 😂😂😂😂 He must felt it wouldn’t be a manly thing to do. Funny how he regretted it so quickly though...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I bet at least one foreigner in the NPB has done that. Wonder if the Japanese have their own equivalent of Kawasaki, some wacky player from USA or the Caribbean who went over to Japan with no translator and just fucked around and gave everyone a laugh

It’s admirable how he just tries to speak English in public even though he doesn’t know much. You rarely see that especially with famous people who are supposed to act like they’re above the normal person

That’s not fair Japanese is way more difficult than English because is composed by 5 dialects.

Let's see how Trever Bauer will do in Japan this year.

I live in Korea and know so many foreigners that work here, marry Korean women, have half Korean babies and know almost 0 Korean. It is so disrespectful imo.

This is so accurate!! Love to see fellow one piece fans around youtube

He talks about studying with books and a teacher so not entirely sure if he learned from the bars only.

most people understand english in germany, so it aint the same

@@RaferAlstonAkaLAZIO Just in the big cities. Funny thing is I had similar problems of understanding people as a German going to Austria ...... 😏

​@@soriba391no, everywhere. Just the degree is varying depending on age and of course level of education.

Exactly

Yes, actually a popular coined word for social life

You have a good sense of Japanese!

no shit

Not sure why you are surprised

so fluent in his native language, bro that's called being FLUENT hahahaha

I picked up on that too 🤣

…

Nomu ＝ drink But this situation is Nomu(のむ) means drinking alcohol. Drinking alcohol while communicating is nomunication.

Yes please!!

I can't translate😭 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fq16mLuAu5yziYE.html

That's what they do, it's not an "anime thing" it's what japanese people do. As far as I know, they do it to add to the conversation. I guess it's to greet the speaker that they're actually listening to what they are saying.

@@Fil007kk it’s an expression of surprise. Like saying “wow” in response to something

@@jb4280 also what is known as back channeling and common in spoken Japanese

@@danwong2191 in this instance it would almost be like saying “huhhhh” to the end of what he said .. we have something similar in English for sure.
