💯💯🙏🏾🙏🏾

This is like a vlog of 2 friends. Very relatable discussions and interesting contents

Have you two gone to an onsen yet?

Dude I was going to sub to you but I can’t be bothered with

We need a follow up episode at the Onsen 💦😂

Watching in the onsen is something I'd expect to see in a gay porn trying to be creative.

Right, that was hilarious to me lol

Wym by men of culture

@@user-qh7rw5gy5i men of culture

Lmao frr

​@@user-qh7rw5gy5i watch the end

@@Julius_JuL that is most definitely not what man of culture means

They definitely have BBQ, but I don't know how many Japanese people order it. I would hit up McDonald's at 3am because it was closer than a Konbini and get two 15 piece McNuggets(they have old school McNuggets) with BBQ sauce. They don't sell a 20-piece in Japan.

Specifically, Midwestern. We have this weird obsession with ranch here

@@MissRyukkie It's really popular in the Pacific Northwest as well.

@@MissRyukkie Southern California puts ranch on everything. Pizza, nuggets, burgers, fries, everything. I’m from SoCal so I know but I’m a bbq girl instead

I was about to say 😂 he sounds very American to me haha

This would the bomb to see. Two Japanese young men meeting a Japanese American living in Hawaii. Three different cultures and experiences being shared and sampled.

Da kine 👍

Shoots Brah!

I started out as a nurse in rural Hawaii. I had to brush up on my Japanese because the obasans had dementia and forgot how to speak pidgin and only spoke Japanese at that point. Imagine saying okole and oshiri all day.

Pidgen English is form Nigeria Africa right?

Yeah I find an insanely interesting to see the differences between the Norms in Japan and America I'd like to see more between these two.

Definitely hoping for a part 2. This was good energy.

you want to see the onsen part huh?

I’m down to participate in part 2 😎

We'll be waiting for the Onsen-arc, as patient as HunterXHunter fans waited for a comeback

Ikr

Dawg I was like what!? Feel closer when we're naked had me flabbergasted

@@talljib LOL! I'd completely forgotten about this video and this comment, so I was incredibly confused by this reply. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I thought it was a spambot.

Ditto this! 😆

Agreed

I definitely want to see the full footage

You mean ethnicity. Not race.

@weebwacker69 - Growing up, my kids (now in their late 20’s) were the only “full JAs” they knew besides some twins. There were a number of “hapa haole” (half White), half-Chinese or other Asian, and even “quapa” (quarter Japanese) in their classes. Far fewer half-Black or half Hispanic in general. By one quarter, you can’t even tell they’re Japanese, but many will tell you! Also, JAs have dispersed from primarily JA areas such as the Gardena and Crenshaw areas. In areas that are sparsely populated by Asians, Asians tend to assimilate into the predominant group - sometimes derisively referred to as Bananas, but it’s just the way it is. Interestingly, Shun Chan found a “Shin-Nisei” (New Second Generation) - not many of those around, thus his Japanese is very good. By third generation, the Japanese language goes by the wayside. The Shin Nisei have not experienced the traumas of interment camp during WW2 and have come to America when there was much more acceptance of Japanese people and indeed many Americans are now Japanophiles. Not so even a few decades ago when Sanseis would be ridiculed for bringing rice balls for lunch instead of sandwiches, and comedians made fun of Japanese products as being inferior. I remember the look of horror and “EWWWW!” from other kids when I said I ate raw fish! Asian food was considered so exotic and not in a good way. Now Americans are more into sushi than I am. The descendants of those Japanese who moved during the Meiji era will slowly disappear- that’s my take.

@@littlemom2070 Do you think that's a good thing? Do you consider half JAs and half Asians/ABCs to be Jas?

@@beezelsub - Do I consider out-marrying to be a good thing? I don’t place a good/bad value on it one way or the other, it just is. For my parent’s generation it would have been a bad thing. Yes I consider the hapas to be JAs. Some have mothers from Japan so they are quite Japanesy, more so than Yonsei or Gosei or even some Sansei. My nieces and nephews are almost all mixed and they don’t relate to their Japanese side at all! Much of it could depend on where you grew up and how much your parents made an effort to introduce you to the JA culture/identity and to an extent how Asian you look. Interestingly my kids have remarked many hapas have a hard time dealing with identity issues.

Ever met anyone past yonsei? I'm a yonsei myself and I know one guy who's a gosei, he married an abc girl though so I guess it stops there. I'm kinda hoping I could continue my chain with another ja but I noticed I've only ever gotten together with abc girls. Maybe it's inevitable in this generation haha.

also at 5:35 even though they're walking at the same pace you can see Shota's body going left-right with each stride while Shun keeps his torso centered

you're overthinking it. Both postures are masculine they just sat that way. Jesus.

@@ShaferHart Shota thought it was interesting as well, calm down.

I worked at a Japanese company once and the company CEO looked, talked, and moved like he was from some yakuza movie. The rest of the male Japanese staff (and female, for sure) would make themselves look small and neat, like they were trying not to take up space and just wanted to look inconspicuous. But not the CEO - he was very masculine in posture, even did the Japanese bow with his arms crossed (very memorable). There's definitely a cultural significance there.

I talked to a Japanese person and they told me they knew I was American cuz I "walked big" lol.

I really like Liberdade, so much. But of course being in Japan's hard to beat!

The word Japlish would not be something us Sansei would like to hear. Any word with Jap in it or alone is considered derogatory to us. Do not use that word in the US!

@@caroltakahashi6421 wasn’t using it in the U.S. It was just amongst us students at school.

@@caroltakahashi6421 "Engpan" doesn't sound as good though.

@@caroltakahashi6421 How about Eigonese?

Thanks for clarifying that ☺️

Viva la 🌮

Yeah and definitely not inviting your friends to get naked and take baths with each other lol!, even if it’s for the great deal of only $7! 🤣🤣🤣

I wouldn't judge this. Depending on where Shota grew up he might have been the literal only non-white person. I had an AA friend who grew up in Washington state and she said there were never more than 2 black kids in the class. Her mind was blown when she went to the south that you could walk down and street and casually see a black person. But not like one, a great many.
