I totally agree. Plus it's interesting since when you hear 'foreign' girls, Japanese (and most Asians in general) would first typically think of western or European girls, especially the typical blond hair blue eyes. I was born in China and spent quite a while there, and all my friends respond the same when I ask them about foreign girls.
His kids would be beautiful. Especially if they were Blasian. I'm American so I love a melting pot of people that can love, respect, and appreciate one another.
@@hermajesty4785 I honestly don't see many white women with Asian men in the U.S. All women especially White or Filipino women will usually date, marry, or just have kids with black men. This maybe different elsewhere, but if an Asian dates outside their race in America it's usually an Asian women not a Asian men. However, again I do see blasian couples mostly rather it's an Asian men or women who are in a relationship with a black person. Darker skin is more accepted in the U.S. so people date whoever. Rather it's a dark person from India, black, latino, or a darker Asian. Most Americans careless these days they just want to share common interest, values, and morals. Learning and accepting different cultures also says alot about a person in my opinion anyway.

I always find the whole liking "when a girl really eats" or "eats a lot" thing odd because typically the dudes saying that are not looking for a girl who is overweight or who spends all her free time exercising to make up for the man-sized portions.
In nature it's good for a woman to have a healthy amount of weight for child bearing, so they likely like to see a woman will eat a lot to support babies. There may be a contradiction somewhere as perhaps they want a woman to do that but don't like the weight, in which case this is an error from society on their end but their instincts are showing.
He said, "I prefer a girl who wipes her mouth with her hand instead of using a tissue," 🤣 and then the interviewer says "wow, you like them wild" 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yeah, I am guessing he meant a more rough and tumble kind of gal instead of a dainty one with like proper manners and stuff. That dude definitely wants a mouthy and spirited girl who won't hesitate to put him in his place. XD
It is refreshing to see how respectful the interviewer is to the men he speaks to. He never mocks their answers but draws them out very skilfully, especially when they give a vague answer (I like nice girls). I enjoy watching the interactions in Japan, which are respectful and civilised. I wish the UK was more like this!
Couldn't agree more, the point that you mentioned draws them out skillfully, was well said. In fact their variety program and many TV shows really have worthy discussions and conversations unlike many other countries where it usually ends up in an argument etc...We really need to learn better~
That last interviewee really surprised me! 😲 I was not expecting him to say that he finds black girls cool and would be open to dating them. There are a lot of racial bias towards black people in Japan, so to hear him say that is quite refreshing.
I kind of was expecting him to say that too. He seemed very open minded and down to earth so I felt like he wouldn’t have said the typical European answer
First guy was so sweet and chill got me surprised by the answers, usually would expect a more conservative type. Shopping together and anime, dating a foreign to enjoy showing his culture, seems like a good open exchange of values trying to make it work with the differences not against it.

@@samaraisnt Yeah, and there is also a lot less physical contact in Japanese culture, so it's less appropriate to speak in those terms. That doesn't say everything about how they may think, though!
They also seem to have more variety in what they're attracted to like short hair, girl who's a bit boyish, girls who eat a lot. A western man would just say long hair and big boobs.
I would really love a video on this topic, but when it comes to dating foreigners - for you to elaborate on other ethnicities besides european/east asian ethnicities, because i feel that that is what comes to mind for most japanese people when you ask about "foreigners". For example, i would love to know japanese people's views on dating southeast asian, south asian, black, middle eastern, south american people (basically foreigners with darker skin esp.) etc etc!
I feel the same, when the answer aboout foreigner is referring to Korean people for example, it's not exactly like japan, but it's too similar to be an interesting answer. I'm more curious about their views over South America, Afrika, etc...
Honestly I’m not surprised that they would be especially interested in Japanese people not just because they share the same culture but because as I’m watching this video soooo many well-dressed and good looking women have passed by 😭 It’s like watching a runway
It's because they are in Tokyo. It's not like this everywhere in Japan. Just like how not every American girl dresses or looks like girls from Manhattan.
But is true that in Japan and a lot of places in Asia they care a lot about Fashion and looks, sometimes they say foreigners dress too casual and relaxed in their outfits..
@@ryokohonda4619 Well, they definetely look more fashionable that people in my country, even rich people just wear a dress or a top and shorts and call it a day. Japanese and Asia in general wear a bunch of accesories and layers, we don't.

Your right idk about other cultures but back then i think japan culture wanted the women to look neat. It is completely opposite of that these guys said in the video, they don’t want to focus more on physical
I liked the answers of the third guy best. He had the most substance. But the fourth guy (final interviewee) also surprised me (in a good way). I personally find Japanese men to be mostly quite handsome and I was always attracted to them in my younger years. I am only 5'3" (160 cm) and was thin so size was never an issue. But this was 50 years ago and Japanese boys/men in those days (in NYC) were much less likely to date an American girl, so I was mostly out of luck! And I wasn't hideous to look at either... It was the cultural differences and sometimes a language barrier. Plus, any relationship that got serious would have been disapproved by one or both families. Things are so different now!
I like that the last guy mentioned South American and black girls😊! I'm a black American woman who has long had an attraction to Asian guys (a rarity in Florida).
How are you at your haggard age and still trying to brag about your looks lmao. If you were cute they’d be into you but they weren’t, so it’s obvious you arent, sorry.
@andrewedmonds3480 I can only speak for myself, but Id say many girls think like me too. -funny and kind personality -has a job, doesnt matter how much he earns -basic hygiene (shower regularly, doesnt smell, brushed teeth...) -not extremly overwheight, otherwise doesnt really matter. Many girls like even a little belly to rest their head on :) -height doesnt matter to me -respect my decisions. If Im not into you, dont be an a-hole about it, accept it and move on.
@Andrew Edmonds sense of humor matters a lot for most people. and confidence is attractive. a person that looks comfortable with themselves, isn’t afraid to speak their mind, is understanding and can keep a conversation, being respectful at the same time is a no miss generally speaking in society. even appearance wise, things such as looking well groomed, having a hairstyle that suits you and feel good in, also fashion style can be found appealing. keep it real and kind, luck!
I almost got married to a Japanese man once but his parents wouldn't allow it. This was the 90s so if we had, we could of had a child your age. I never could pronounce his last name though.
I married a japanese guy in 96! And we are still very happily married today but living in the states, have tried living in JP just couldn't make it work
Imagine getting an interview from a few people from every country? Then comparing and contrasting gestures and love language, instead of beauty ideals. this was so wholesome
Everytime I hear the question "Do you like foreign girls" I associate it with anyone but a black woman, because SO FAR I have mostly heard foreign girls tied to European women. It was nice to hear someone say black women, because at times it really feel like the world doesn't find us attractive or worth dating ( I know that's not true....theres probably a handful that like us lol) I guess I'm not seeing us represented or talked about often. Nonetheless that was nice and put a smile on my face
I agree 100%. However it's worth mentioning, that they also rarely mention other Asians like Indians, Philippinos, or Arabs. I think it's more about white people dominating the world than anything else. I've seen a similar video where black men were asked if they'd date someone outside of their own race, and for 99% of them "other race" meant white girls. It's sad.
I really enjoy your videos. I'm from the USA, im multiracial, Japanese is my second language and I'm currently learning Korean. It's always interesting to hear what other cultures think about things. Great video. I'll keep watching 😄
Reading comments about the last speaker, as someone black married to a Japanese man (in Tokyo). I thought it would be rare but it’s not so much. Mostly a lot of men don’t think it’s an option and then when they find out they are more than happy to date & marry (yes it can be complicated but we are out here). 🇬🇧🇯🇵🇯🇲❤😂
Another great video. I like the way you interview people. It’s polite and respectful, but it also can dive deep and make the interviewee pause to think. Thanks again for sharing Japan with us!!!
Takashii - I lost my mind laughing when the dude at the end takes your microphone from you. I've never seen anybody do that to you before 😂😂. When i'm in Tokyo and you interview me, I'll for sure ask to hold your microphone too!
Watching this video I noticed that Even though some of the comments sound like they are about physical attributes, Japanese culture take different meaning from those things and they are very beautiful. I really appreciate this video and the insight into culture, thank you.
I really like the last guy’s energy and he wasn’t shy either. He was very sure and specific in what he likes! And he thinks black girls are cool and that’s great to hear because I am a black woman myself! 😂😂😂
Are you really that desperate by males validation? Why is it só great about a random guy in Japan saying he thinks women with darker skin color are great? Does skin color make a person greater? Do you think black ladies go celibate in japan? They are fetishised and obviously men wouldn't bother to have sex with them. But would they take them seriously? Marry them? Not really. I had my fair share living in Asia, mainly China and never saw a local guy holding a black girls hand in public. But know of many going on dates with black girls. Their conversations are nasty. Expect them to send a photo of the girl to their friends and say something like 'ive tried this before' include reference to the dark color of their genitals and how they were ashamed to be with a black girl in public. Sorry to bring the honest truth to you but the only guy who spoke the truth was the one who said he likes 'respectable girls'.
I like how Japanese people express themselves. I liked all the interviews, them all were really honest and respectful talking about what they really like but my favourite was the one who said he would like a person who cheer him up and stays there when he feel down and he would do the same thing (before he said that I was thinking that I really like that fact...really important to find a person who understand you) I liked your video 🤗💕
What I love most about the age of internet we live in is that we can feel at home in all the parts of the world if we are familiar enough with the views and ways people talk there. I've fallen in love with so many cultures by watching videos and travelling and I think we can reach world peace if we are open and sincere because humans everywhere are so similar: we value sincerity, good food, conversations, art, music, dance and we're all ultimately looking to feel loved, fulfill our life's dreams and purpose and live a happy life!
I'm a Romanian-Ukrainian who is currently starting to learn Japanese, but I have been researching about this country for a long time now. Whether it is about the culture or the people, I always learn something new about Japan, and this video was really interesting! Definitely subscribing. :)
Being a Black person open to dating a Japanese guy, it's hard to find one that are interested in dating us but hearing that last guy say he was opened to dating a Black girl made me smile.
The first guy you interviewed seems to have a kind heart, I love fashion and anime and I’m afraid that I would have been considered weird over in Japan too….as a kid I was originally fascinated with things from china and Chinese culture but I grew into learning Japanese culture as well, I’m terrified I wouldn’t recognize anyone, and a lot of my beliefs are influenced not only by their traditions but my own view on things and other cultures as well. I just wish we had more people like him, even if we end up meeting and we aren’t the same age or I wasn’t into him, he would be a good friend I would cherish dearly
Honestly, what got me interested was when he said he was into fashion and liked going shopping XD like, he wants to watch anime with you and likes to go shopping and be fashionable? Where do i find one of those? Do they have them in other nationalities and age ranges? Because moving to japan is kinda complicated and i need someone 30-35YO XD
Would be intersting to hear about what people are ashamed of maybe. It'd also be interesting to hear what older generations think about japanese popculture. Interviews with people from different subcultures could be nice too. Cool Channel, thx for the effort!
I mean, he can't speak English so it would pretty hard to develop a connection with a foreigner beyond physical attraction if they can't speak the same language.
He didn't mean it that way. I took it as he could only fall for their looks, because it would be hard to develop a bond with them when they either can't speak the same language or because of cultural differences. Not because he thinks foreigners are bad people.
He meant what he meant. He started by saying 'I like respectable girls' and the foreign stereotype portrayed by the sex&City isn't exactly 'respectable'. When he says he can fall for their looks he means they have nothing but looks só he can lust them but they have nothing valuable to offer. When he said he couldn't speak english was just to soften the blow like 'we wouldn't be able to communicate anyway'. The first one clearly considered foreign girls who understood and liked japanese culture and they could 'watch anime together'. He's already considering that the girl speaks japanese and understands japanese culture. The other one likes 'respectable girls' and the friend said 'korean girls'. Korean girls are in the same category as japanese girls.
Red Leeks; I agree he did say what he said. He means theyre good enough to fuck but not to marry/bring home. I agree with everything EXCEPT for no 🙅🏽♀️ You’re wrong about Korean girls being “the same” as Japanese. They literally OWNED Korean women in the past, it was a former colony of Japan so they intentionally see them as inferior. They were even banned from some restaurants and there are negative stereotypes you need to learn some history before you speak so out of turn like that. Just because you can’t see a difference does NOT mean they see them as equals. It’s like saying Germans viewed Jews as the same, just cause you can’t see the difference doesn’t mean they don’t treat them unequally based on race. tbh your comment reeks of racism lumping all asians together.
Lmao, same XD also with the being interested in fashion and shopping and i have short hair. I was like,well, guess i figured out why i can't find a boyfriend that works for me, the ones actually compatible are in a whole other continent XD
Interesting opinions from this boys, but let me tell you something as a married man and father. It’s not important where you come from as long as you find the right one. Maybe not today or tomorrow but someday they will find someone. Love your content Greetings from Austria 🇦🇹✌🏻
Regarding the videos i've watched already about these subjects of relationships and romantic preferences, i cant ignore the fact that Japanese men are so polite and respectful. I'm from Portugal (European) and not many men are lime that nowadays. My boyfriend is, but i still have some male friends from when i used to play futsal who are a bit..."off" with women. 😅😅
They are respectful? Hahahaha maybe to their own. Watch Camila Pipoka (Brazilian of Japanese descent) and look for her videos of japanese men. And she was raised in Japan
It’s because sadly western culture press men to be what is considered “manly” that is being tough and bad mannered. The toxic masculinity in this side of the world is changing our way of thinking about what is good and bad. I just ignore those nonsensical stereotypes and I’m just being myself treating others with basic respect regards of gender/sex.
You are a charismatic person, that's why people like you a lot you know 😘💖. I'm very blessed to have found a wonderful UA-camr like you. Today's video was very good too, love watching your content. Thank you so much 🦥❤️
New Sub here, love your content, it's very inspiring I'm thinking to learn Japanese soon so i can visit Japan & have a friendly Convo with Local people
This sounds bad, but I found the answers of these Japanese men more open-minded and mature than the video with the Japanese women. Although in both videos the last guy/girl interviewed were both extremely genuine. You should do more of these, I think there are plenty of interesting guys and girls out there who have even more diverse and amazing answers.
Hi Takashi san, I'm one of your vlog video fallowers from the Philippines, I think you do not have to travel to any countries in order for you to make video vlog footage. Japanese culture native food, sceneries and places itself are all very interesting stories. And also English speaking in Japan are more appropriate to apply don't get me wrong, not only in Japan but all over the world for that matter... Only my own identities opinion. "Kindness in Words Creates Confidence in Good people". Thank you for 💖
What I’ve noticed here is that when asked what type of girl is their ideal type they almost always speak on characteristics first not the image, or looks unless asked directly. I feel in America it’s not like that at all. If the same question was posed I feel American men would describe the image of their ideal person very well first as opposed to the personality traits or characteristics of their ideal person. BIG takeaway for me
Maybe because they don't have much diversity, they can't say they like blonds or something because all of them have dark hair. They are also very strict with body types, is weird hearing a guy or girl who says they like them chubby with asses or boob, because they will look like perverts 😂. But I can tell ypu they do care a lot about looks.
All men pay attention to looks first, no matter nationality. Don't be fooled with their culture of "keeping the face". They knoe that talking about looks would put them in a bad light.
😂❤ OMG I've loved all their answers... the first one was so cute and the last one so funny! And all of them are really good looking... Thank you for this video, greetings from Italy!
Lol I would have never thought that me being too lazy to get a napkin or cutting my hair short or putting my hair behind my ear would be such charismatic traits 😂
Ayyye the last one said South America and black girls🎉 nice lol . Good interview and thanks for the direct questions pretty interesting to see their thoughts 😁
I am imaging a lot of foreign girls are screaming at their screens going "THAT COULD BE ME!" with the first guy. He seems like a real down to Earth and nice guy.
Yes but that is the thing I was sceptical about. He seems very "pick me". I had the feeling that he said most of the things because he knows that a lot of (foreign) girls can identify with it or like to hear that and not because he really feels that way.
@@justme4037 Could be, but I'd rather not assume the worst about someone I don't even know. Plus, even if he did lie about all of it just to seem like a nicer guy, it doesn't matter. Since it wouldn't do anything. Everyone tries to put on their best face in public. And nobody wants to be recorded being a jerk and be posted online for everyone to see.
@@Sakachi18 I didn't mean to assume "the worst" about him. I just wanted to share that the interview didn't felt so authentic to me PERSONALLY. I am 100% aware that I know nothing about that person or his intentions. I don't really see a problem in my comment but I understand your message and I appreciate that you want to spread awareness. It's honestly not that easy for me to find good balance between being naive and not too judgy on the internet.
@@justme4037 I totally undwrstand, don't worry about it. I'm sorry if my message sounded like I was being mean or accusing you of seeing only the worst. I just meant that I personally like to give the benefit of the doubt on the internet unless I can find something to prove the opposite. It really is tough to find a good middle ground and not come across as hostile in text only.
That last guy is definitely my type 💯 he knows exactly what he wants and is open- minded and the fact he mentioned he likes Latinas and Black Women who have a laid back style not to heavy on the high maintenance part is chefs kiss 💋 🧑🏽🍳 and he cute af they all are 😻

They have a camera on their faces. They won’t be honest.

I almost got married to a Japanese man once but his parents wouldn't allow it. This was the 90s so if we had, we could of had a child your age. I never could pronounce his last name though.
I had the same experience, but in the 70s!
@@allie1953 sorry to hear that, but I got some karmic satisfaction knowing not one of their three sons married and had children.
@@shellbythesea12 that's so petty and I am 100% here for it 😂
@@NAVYZETSU I have my petty moments 😄
I married a japanese guy in 96!
And we are still very happily married today but living in the states, have tried living in JP just couldn't make it work
Imagine getting an interview from a few people from every country? Then comparing and contrasting gestures and love language, instead of beauty ideals.
this was so wholesome
The last guy was quite cool.
He was quite Kakoi~
Everytime I hear the question "Do you like foreign girls" I associate it with anyone but a black woman, because SO FAR I have mostly heard foreign girls tied to European women. It was nice to hear someone say black women, because at times it really feel like the world doesn't find us attractive or worth dating ( I know that's not true....theres probably a handful that like us lol) I guess I'm not seeing us represented or talked about often. Nonetheless that was nice and put a smile on my face
There are a bunch of full overflowing hands that like you 😌
bruh your comment came off as so creepy
I agree 100%. However it's worth mentioning, that they also rarely mention other Asians like Indians, Philippinos, or Arabs. I think it's more about white people dominating the world than anything else.
I've seen a similar video where black men were asked if they'd date someone outside of their own race, and for 99% of them "other race" meant white girls.
It's sad.
@@ari_jean Totally agree
I agree.
I really enjoy your videos. I'm from the USA, im multiracial, Japanese is my second language and I'm currently learning Korean. It's always interesting to hear what other cultures think about things. Great video. I'll keep watching 😄
That last guy’s so cool! 😂 He’s for sure going to be happy in his future relationship!
Reading comments about the last speaker, as someone black married to a Japanese man (in Tokyo). I thought it would be rare but it’s not so much. Mostly a lot of men don’t think it’s an option and then when they find out they are more than happy to date & marry (yes it can be complicated but we are out here). 🇬🇧🇯🇵🇯🇲❤😂
How cool and beautiful 💗
2:08 someone Interested in Japan and Anime -
Boy I m coming for you😂
Thank you so much for watching!!
Now I’m in Bangkok
One of the most exciting city in Asia!
If you’re in Bangkok, hit me up anytime!
Would Takashii san date a foreign girl?
@@onsokumaru4663 good question!
Are you going to shot videos in Bangkok?
Also what camera do you use?
Make a video in Bangkok
You should ask this question to an otaku
First guy passed the vibe check fr. 👏
Another great video. I like the way you interview people. It’s polite and respectful, but it also can dive deep and make the interviewee pause to think. Thanks again for sharing Japan with us!!!
The best blogger interviews ever. Bringing the world together. Thank you
Takashii - I lost my mind laughing when the dude at the end takes your microphone from you. I've never seen anybody do that to you before 😂😂. When i'm in Tokyo and you interview me, I'll for sure ask to hold your microphone too!
Yeah ahaha, here in Japan, there's always the weirdo type. Bu tI liked their answers, very out of the box mind.
Watching this video I noticed that Even though some of the comments sound like they are about physical attributes, Japanese culture take different meaning from those things and they are very beautiful. I really appreciate this video and the insight into culture, thank you.
I really like the last guy’s energy and he wasn’t shy either. He was very sure and specific in what he likes! And he thinks black girls are cool and that’s great to hear because I am a black woman myself! 😂😂😂
Are you really that desperate by males validation?
Why is it só great about a random guy in Japan saying he thinks women with darker skin color are great? Does skin color make a person greater?
Do you think black ladies go celibate in japan? They are fetishised and obviously men wouldn't bother to have sex with them. But would they take them seriously? Marry them? Not really.
I had my fair share living in Asia, mainly China and never saw a local guy holding a black girls hand in public. But know of many going on dates with black girls. Their conversations are nasty. Expect them to send a photo of the girl to their friends and say something like 'ive tried this before' include reference to the dark color of their genitals and how they were ashamed to be with a black girl in public.
Sorry to bring the honest truth to you but the only guy who spoke the truth was the one who said he likes 'respectable girls'.
I like how Japanese people express themselves. I liked all the interviews, them all were really honest and respectful talking about what they really like but my favourite was the one who said he would like a person who cheer him up and stays there when he feel down and he would do the same thing (before he said that I was thinking that I really like that fact...really important to find a person who understand you)
I liked your video 🤗💕
I like how Takashi shows how diverse Japanese guys can be both in looks and personality. Thanks for your videos!
These young men are so wholesome 🥰 it’s so refreshing to hear this
The way they’re all so respectful and cutely specific about what they like!
What I love most about the age of internet we live in is that we can feel at home in all the parts of the world if we are familiar enough with the views and ways people talk there. I've fallen in love with so many cultures by watching videos and travelling and I think we can reach world peace if we are open and sincere because humans everywhere are so similar: we value sincerity, good food, conversations, art, music, dance and we're all ultimately looking to feel loved, fulfill our life's dreams and purpose and live a happy life!
I loved this video sm! Their answers were so simple and respectful.
All these boys were so respectful referring to personal traits rather than appearance 🥹👏🏻
I'm a Romanian-Ukrainian who is currently starting to learn Japanese, but I have been researching about this country for a long time now. Whether it is about the culture or the people, I always learn something new about Japan, and this video was really interesting!
Definitely subscribing. :)
3rd guy is a fellow ponytail enjoyer. My man.
Being a Black person open to dating a Japanese guy, it's hard to find one that are interested in dating us but hearing that last guy say he was opened to dating a Black girl made me smile.
The first guy you interviewed seems to have a kind heart, I love fashion and anime and I’m afraid that I would have been considered weird over in Japan too….as a kid I was originally fascinated with things from china and Chinese culture but I grew into learning Japanese culture as well, I’m terrified I wouldn’t recognize anyone, and a lot of my beliefs are influenced not only by their traditions but my own view on things and other cultures as well. I just wish we had more people like him, even if we end up meeting and we aren’t the same age or I wasn’t into him, he would be a good friend I would cherish dearly
This was cool, a lot of different opinions lol! The answers were very sweet and polite! Thank you!
The first guy wanting a foreigner girls who's into Japan and anime - every weeb girl's dream honestly
Yep lol
lol truuu
Honestly, what got me interested was when he said he was into fashion and liked going shopping XD like, he wants to watch anime with you and likes to go shopping and be fashionable? Where do i find one of those? Do they have them in other nationalities and age ranges? Because moving to japan is kinda complicated and i need someone 30-35YO XD
You guys can watch hentai together 🤡
Would be intersting to hear about what people are ashamed of maybe. It'd also be interesting to hear what older generations think about japanese popculture. Interviews with people from different subcultures could be nice too. Cool Channel, thx for the effort!
Japanese guys are very handsome 🤧❤️
4:36 "I could fall for their looks nothing more than that" damn us foreigners arent that bad
I mean, he can't speak English so it would pretty hard to develop a connection with a foreigner beyond physical attraction if they can't speak the same language.
He didn't mean it that way. I took it as he could only fall for their looks, because it would be hard to develop a bond with them when they either can't speak the same language or because of cultural differences. Not because he thinks foreigners are bad people.
He meant what he meant. He started by saying 'I like respectable girls' and the foreign stereotype portrayed by the sex&City isn't exactly 'respectable'.
When he says he can fall for their looks he means they have nothing but looks só he can lust them but they have nothing valuable to offer.
When he said he couldn't speak english was just to soften the blow like 'we wouldn't be able to communicate anyway'.
The first one clearly considered foreign girls who understood and liked japanese culture and they could 'watch anime together'. He's already considering that the girl speaks japanese and understands japanese culture.
The other one likes 'respectable girls' and the friend said 'korean girls'. Korean girls are in the same category as japanese girls.
Red Leeks; I agree he did say what he said. He means theyre good enough to fuck but not to marry/bring home. I agree with everything EXCEPT for no 🙅🏽♀️ You’re wrong about Korean girls being “the same” as Japanese. They literally OWNED Korean women in the past, it was a former colony of Japan so they intentionally see them as inferior. They were even banned from some restaurants and there are negative stereotypes you need to learn some history before you speak so out of turn like that. Just because you can’t see a difference does NOT mean they see them as equals. It’s like saying Germans viewed Jews as the same, just cause you can’t see the difference doesn’t mean they don’t treat them unequally based on race. tbh your comment reeks of racism lumping all asians together.
@@B_27yeah but we can learn Japanese, like when I'm older I want to go to Japan and learn enough to communicate
The first one is describing me. Eating a lot, watching anime, wearing Street clothes, and being aggressive. Lmao
💀💀homeboy gotta be careful man
@@anunknownperson4018 lol, I am gentle.
lmao same 😂
Lmao, same XD also with the being interested in fashion and shopping and i have short hair. I was like,well, guess i figured out why i can't find a boyfriend that works for me, the ones actually compatible are in a whole other continent XD
@@justvideos5170 bro just said they were aggressive and now saying they're gentle lol
Interesting opinions from this boys, but let me tell you something as a married man and father. It’s not important where you come from as long as you find the right one. Maybe not today or tomorrow but someday they will find someone.
Love your content
Greetings from Austria 🇦🇹✌🏻
That last interviewee dripped cool, like the dude was cool as hell. So of course he wants a cool girl.
Regarding the videos i've watched already about these subjects of relationships and romantic preferences, i cant ignore the fact that Japanese men are so polite and respectful. I'm from Portugal (European) and not many men are lime that nowadays. My boyfriend is, but i still have some male friends from when i used to play futsal who are a bit..."off" with women. 😅😅
Everyone is like that they just chose to be nice 😅 we still refer each other as “motherf” and “bitch” etc. 😂
They are respectful? Hahahaha maybe to their own.
Watch Camila Pipoka (Brazilian of Japanese descent) and look for her videos of japanese men. And she was raised in Japan
It’s because sadly western culture press men to be what is considered “manly” that is being tough and bad mannered. The toxic masculinity in this side of the world is changing our way of thinking about what is good and bad. I just ignore those nonsensical stereotypes and I’m just being myself treating others with basic respect regards of gender/sex.
all of these guys are really handsome😂
i need to know the one on the left is for the second interview 🤭🤭
@@kyrazyyy same 😂 all of them plz!! Next time add their socia media 😂
And so kind
I feel like most of us men love ponytails, but no one knows why (and most women don't know about it) 😄
Because it really shows their facial features clearly, like adding contrast/focus to their face. Also it looks really tidy in general
It's a Japanese thing I guess ... certainly not in my country
I like how it bounces around lol I just think its really cute haha
Ponytail gives strong grip for ultimate performances. Hahaha😂
High ponytails I’m assuming
You are a charismatic person, that's why people like you a lot you know 😘💖. I'm very blessed to have found a wonderful UA-camr like you. Today's video was very good too, love watching your content. Thank you so much 🦥❤️
Interesting interviewees! I like the first guy who appreciates short hair and a girl that can eat a lot of food. 💗
I like that short hair is an attractive trait too!! Typically guys only like girls with long hair
Short hair and really cute...thats the type.
in the west, yes but feminine can include short hair too in japan
In Japan, short hair also popular.
I plan on moving back to Japan and your videos are very enlightening and fun to watch.
New Sub here, love your content, it's very inspiring
I'm thinking to learn Japanese soon so i can visit Japan & have a friendly Convo with Local people
I like their honesty ❤
that was great seeing many types and styles of people being interviewed, great video!
This sounds bad, but I found the answers of these Japanese men more open-minded and mature than the video with the Japanese women. Although in both videos the last guy/girl interviewed were both extremely genuine. You should do more of these, I think there are plenty of interesting guys and girls out there who have even more diverse and amazing answers.
This is an awesome video. Hope you enjoy your travel, Takashi-san! (especially here in Southeast Asia of course!) 素晴らしい！
As a brazilian girl, what the last guy said just warms my heart
It's so refreshing to hear, that they prefer/like short hair. I always get that I need to grow my hair and it's not girlie enough
all these guys seem so sweet oml
Hi Takashi san, I'm one of your vlog video fallowers from the Philippines, I think you do not have to travel to any countries in order for you to make video vlog footage. Japanese culture native food, sceneries and places itself are all very interesting stories. And also English speaking in Japan are more appropriate to apply don't get me wrong, not only in Japan but all over the world for that matter... Only my own identities opinion. "Kindness in Words Creates Confidence in Good people". Thank you for 💖
What I’ve noticed here is that when asked what type of girl is their ideal type they almost always speak on characteristics first not the image, or looks unless asked directly. I feel in America it’s not like that at all. If the same question was posed I feel American men would describe the image of their ideal person very well first as opposed to the personality traits or characteristics of their ideal person. BIG takeaway for me
Maybe because they don't have much diversity, they can't say they like blonds or something because all of them have dark hair. They are also very strict with body types, is weird hearing a guy or girl who says they like them chubby with asses or boob, because they will look like perverts 😂. But I can tell ypu they do care a lot about looks.
@@rebecamendez5456I disagree
All men pay attention to looks first, no matter nationality.
Don't be fooled with their culture of "keeping the face". They knoe that talking about looks would put them in a bad light.
@@rebecamendez5456Go to usa ask the same questions you'll get all of these lmao
😂❤ OMG I've loved all their answers... the first one was so cute and the last one so funny!
And all of them are really good looking...
Thank you for this video, greetings from Italy!
All the responses felt so satisfying and simple
The guy wearing earphones at the third minute is so cutee 🥹
That last guy was fine❤️
I love your channel, I'm glad I found it
I think that's the first time someone grabbed your mic. Lol.
Lol I would have never thought that me being too lazy to get a napkin or cutting my hair short or putting my hair behind my ear would be such charismatic traits 😂
I hope they all meet their soulmates!❤
Ayyye the last one said South America and black girls🎉 nice lol . Good interview and thanks for the direct questions pretty interesting to see their thoughts 😁
Aw, the first guy seemed really sweet. :) I like his casual style.
I am imaging a lot of foreign girls are screaming at their screens going "THAT COULD BE ME!" with the first guy. He seems like a real down to Earth and nice guy.
Yes but that is the thing I was sceptical about. He seems very "pick me". I had the feeling that he said most of the things because he knows that a lot of (foreign) girls can identify with it or like to hear that and not because he really feels that way.
@@justme4037 Could be, but I'd rather not assume the worst about someone I don't even know. Plus, even if he did lie about all of it just to seem like a nicer guy, it doesn't matter. Since it wouldn't do anything. Everyone tries to put on their best face in public. And nobody wants to be recorded being a jerk and be posted online for everyone to see.
@@Sakachi18 I didn't mean to assume "the worst" about him. I just wanted to share that the interview didn't felt so authentic to me PERSONALLY. I am 100% aware that I know nothing about that person or his intentions. I don't really see a problem in my comment but I understand your message and I appreciate that you want to spread awareness. It's honestly not that easy for me to find good balance between being naive and not too judgy on the internet.
@@justme4037 I totally undwrstand, don't worry about it. I'm sorry if my message sounded like I was being mean or accusing you of seeing only the worst. I just meant that I personally like to give the benefit of the doubt on the internet unless I can find something to prove the opposite. It really is tough to find a good middle ground and not come across as hostile in text only.
@@Sakachi18 I really enjoyed our little discussion, thank you ✨
I am in love with the first guy he's so cuteeeeeeee
I've always admired the Japanese culture, I think the language sounds so cool & beautiful 💕
The result were varied which is cool to see. It breaks a stereotype of how others see or think Japanese men like.
Their answers were so polite.
7:30 IM HIS TYPE. its my first time being someones type in a youtube video lmao
The last guy is for me 😂 he was describing me the whole interview until the end
The first one literally is a perfect match for me 😂 Especially the Food Part!
I think the the majority of any foreigner would be open to dating outside their race but, would rather marry their own.
That last guy is definitely my type 💯 he knows exactly what he wants and is open- minded and the fact he mentioned he likes Latinas and Black Women who have a laid back style not to heavy on the high maintenance part is chefs kiss 💋 🧑🏽🍳 and he cute af they all are 😻
I don’t know how I ended up here but I’m glad! Been to Okinawa once and feel like this is a great channel to learn the culture! I love the people here! They’re so sweet.
2:23 I think I found my guy🤣😅
the last guy kind of looked like a japanese version of pete davidson
Omg yes 😂😂😂😭😭😭😭
😂 😂 😂 😂
True!
Aside from the fashion thing, the first guy is my spirit animal😂I feel him
4:48 Me shouting: *HELLO I AM KOREAN AND SINGLE HELOOOOOOO* hahahaha
Hello from the other side ... India
The last guy was so awesome! and culturally aware. Kudoz to him!
LMAOO the last dude was so specific it sounds like he was describing me 😭 never would i thought that any japanese person would find my actual personality anything other than appalling
Omgg that starting (white one) is my ideal type ...!!!
This is the first time I’ve seen an Asian saying he would date South Americans and black… and the whole community loves him for it ❤
4:00 sorry, the guys in the middle, but your phrases one by one shoot arrow into my heart. He is a bit of my type >o
I gotta say...the two tall Japanese boys wearing White T-shirts looked very attractive. They could pass as models!
