It was age-restricted right? Why?
What was the technical issue?
These Phillipino guys are really smart and are well informed about the world.
Ok boomer
@@dhimankalita1690 I meant the Phillipino guys
@@dhimankalita1690 also congratulations on reaching ninety years of age. How is your granddaughter?
They are! Except he still thinks Korea has faster Wifi than Japan when it was in fact just a temporary thing for many smaller less crowded countries now Korea is not even top 30
The guy on the left is American lol
The video got age restricted for some reason so im glad this got reuploaded
Filipino guy was based. Berserk is the GOAT. RIP Miura.
These videos are so fun to watch. Thanks Jesse and Shota!
How could so many not get Tokyo right? 😱
Especially the guy who had been LIVING IN JAPAN FOR 4 FRICKIN YEARS?!!!
simple stupidity
And probably doesn't speak Japanese SMH
If I’m that guy, my answer is: There is no real capital of Japan, Tokyo is just the place with most government parliaments, buildings so we assume it capital. That’s what I learned so far.
@@thexht7927 the capital used to be Kyoto for a long time
@@jakieboiZ94 I mean for the answer for present’s capital. Not through the entire history
Please keep doing more of this 😂❤. It was so much fun to watch it!
If you visit Japan or live there, you’ll hear about Shohei Ohtani. He’s literally plastered everywhere, on the news daily and on commercials. It’s a very fair question to ask.
Wow, props to my country man winning the prize ✨🎉
I would have had it, all 5 questions!!! really cool and entertaining, I am subscribed now! 8 months in Japan and I live in Yokohama.
Love watching your channel!!! ❤ nice job
How can you mess up the question with Tokyo😭
Aaaawww snap I failed the last one only😂😂😂
Congrats to the Philipino guys especially on that last question and the smart elimination they did on the bonus question.
I'd like to see more of these quizzing foreigner videos😄 that was fun to watch
Atlanta out here representing in Japan!!
I was so close to visiting and working in Japan at one point. I'm a Motion Capture performer and in late 2015 I was in contact with Capcom about the facial likeness role of Leon for the Resident Evil 2 Remake. I failed to mention I also have a voice acting background, in the end I lost the part and I can't forgive myself for wasting such an opportunity. That would've been a real dream come true to visit Japan. Great video.
Don't let your dreams be dreams. There are VA/acting jobs in Japan, make it happen.
@@ebonyangel951 You're right. Thank you for the reply.
Why did the deal not happen in the end? If you feel regret, is it cause you did something wrong?
@@6thdim Hi, yes; I made a mistake by not informing Capcom about my voice acting training. Also, I didn't have any voice demos recorded at the time that I could send them.
@@AnxMa yea man, you never know when you're at the right place and time. just keep going and surely you'll get there.
9:53 absolutely loved this duo
It was also Japan that developed high-speed Internet and fiber-optic lines for the private sector.
Thanks to the creator for letting us know what's up in Japan.. love the country and its etiquette people. Would love to visit the country.
I hope that one day i will meet you in the streets of Tokyo and that i will get interviewed by you guys. I appreciated so much that フランク reference on the beginning! ❤ 😂
Proud of my filipino breddrin reppin dat knowledge 🧠
I thought this would end without no one winning haha. I got 2/5 of the questions. For the manga question, I was thinking Naruto/Detective Conan. I've only heard about Ohtani Shohei just recently but I don't really know him. The elimination method the two guys used was smart. I would agree on the wi-fi part, but I don't know about the other choices.
Cool Video 😂🎉
I wasn't financial free until my 40’s and I’m still in my 40’s, bought my third house already, earn on a monthly through passive income, and got 4 out of 5 goals, just hope it encourages someone that it doesn’t matter if you don’t have any of them right now, you can start TODAY regardless your age INVEST and change your future! Investing in the financial market is a grand choice I made.
Even with the right technique and assets some investors would still make more than others, as an investor, you should’ve known that by now, nothing beats experience and that’s final, personally I had to reach out to a stock expert for guidance which is how I was able to grow my account close to a million, withdraw my profit right before the correction and now I’m buying again
@willamsjohn2360The adviser I'm in touch with is ' Jayden Nadav Bishopson" He works with Merrill, Pierce, Smith incorporated and interviewed on CNBC Television. You can use something else. for me his strategy works hence my result. he provides entry and exit point for the securities I focus on.
Good luck always,👍👍
Tanoshikatta! I would have gotten all but the sports questions--wawawaah!
When does the video start?
i dont get why these videos get so little views with 260k subs and this high quality.
Because it was made one day ago lol…
it got reuploaded, previous one had many views already
@@graceleev ahhh
and there are plenty of channels like this. the interest in japan isnt high enough to get millions of views.
right now i think south korea would get more views due to kpop.
@@CrolyGiart nah, Japan/Tokyo is still more popular. Kpop interest isn't the same as interest in Seoul or Korea in general.
Never watched first version fire vid
I’m guessing somebody on the first version, didn’t want to be in the first version? Though I think all the interviews are still here.
that doesn't make sense because you can remove parts of videos after they're uploaded
Wait whaaatt
@@aaaduccs6667 someone mentioned that it was age restricted before
THEY SAID THEYRE FAVORITES ARE AOT AND MHA
THESE PEOPLE HAVE GOOD TASTE
It makes me so happy
WE GOT LUNCH YESSIRRRRRR🎉🎉🎉🎉
the difficulty jump to the baseball question was a bit unexpected. here in germany you dont hear anything about baseball. its mainly football(soccer) and a little bit handball. the only reason why i even know baseball exists is due to anime and wii sports.
and barely anyone watches tv anymore, so even people who live in japan are not exposed to japanese news.
It’s true that baseball isn’t popular in europe but I think people who live in Japan still might have heard of him since they often play news on the little TVs on the train above the door - I couldn’t remember the guys name but I’ve definitely seen him on a short news segment while taking trains in Tokyo, but like I said, there’s no way I would have remembered it for this haha
I got them all right hehe
I would’ve gotten lunch too, I wish I was there 😭
見てて楽しいわ！
大谷選手の質問は難しすぎるって言うけど日本に来て２日って言う人以外みんな日本に住んでる人でしょ！？日本に居て大谷選手知らないなんて日本人では考えられないレベルだから理にかなってる質問だと思う。だって私も野球なんて全く観ないし知らないけど大谷選手は知ってるもの。
What type of work is available for foreigners to be able to afford living there for years? I’m curious what these people do and how they perform day to day tasks without being fluent in japanese
It is a good question. Initially in the 1980's it was English teaching, hostess bars and modelling, a few corporate or foreign missions (embassy), but now days a larger range of work in the services industry is available. For example foreigners work in the jobs from convenient stores, to start ups in the tech/phone App/Fin Tech.
@@stopato5772 If you work in a Conbini, you have to be fluent in Japanese since 97% of the customers are Japanese.
embassies, the tourism industry (to help tourists from your own country), foreign companies, etc.
Just because they're speaking English in this video doesn't mean they don't know how to speak Japanese.
Got all of em correct, but I'm not in Tokyo right now.
New subscriber
What happened to the first version?
I wonder too.
Some of the clips' audio and images are out of sync.
I wish i was there I got everything right except ohtani shohei broo even the bonussss
Hey Jesse! Where'd you get that loose fitting black t-shirt? I could use a bunch of t-shirts like that for the summer.
Those 2 guys in the end we're funny.
Lets gooo 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Baseball question would've f me up🤣, i thought his name was ohtani shohei but i turned them around smh
Bro been here for 4 years and still guessed wrong
Nobody in Europe can guess a Baseball player that's not Babe Ruth or Joe Di Maggio. We just know the sport exist basically.
i want moreeee
ATL!
I'm nosy, I want to know more about the group of guys from Atlanta lol They seem to all be there for the same reason
anybody got Layla’s IG? For research purposes of course
Sho time Ohtani, fair question hell a morning show even has a segment called Everyday Ohtani, i dont know squat bout baseball but I know him lol
the guy who said berserk 🔥🔥
いろんな作品を知ってくれていて嬉しくなりますね。ありがとう^_^
the baseball player is Ihito boru.
Its a jooooooke ok ? " I hit ball "
I would’ve failed the baseball player question and I was getting irritated cause I just heard his name and saw the voice of Kiriyu go to a game just for him when he was In LA a week or two ago 🤦🏾♂️
why when americans are asked where they are from they say the state but everyone else says the country, really weird
Good observation
because even though the US counts as one country its so big that you cant really see it as one.
saying "i am from the US" is basically like saying " i am from europe". they want to be more precise.
if the "bundesländer" in germany were not so small and irrelevant i would mention mine too, because its a relatively big difference where you come from even in such a small country.
so its reasonable to mention their state, considering the size.
@@CrolyGiart I love your answer but strangely it's not the answer to the question he tried to ask. I say "tried" because he made a mistake himself in his question and that misled you in your answer.
In his question he said "Americans say they are from the state" but what he wanted to say was that "Americans say they are from the States." Nuance. Because he said 'state' rather than 'States', you thought he was saying that Americans name their individual state as the country they are from. That's not what he was saying. He indirectly misled you.
To answer his question: Americans say they are from the States because they like shortening name of certain things to make it more fanciful. The "States" in their answer is the short form of the name "United States of America" and of the USA.
It's like Bill Clinton for William Jefferson Clinton. Or Jimmy Carter for James Carter III or Tony for Anthony or Lisa for Elizabeth or Maggie for Margaret etc
So yes, Americans are as much correct to say they are from the "States" as you will be correct to call Lisa somebody whose name is Elisabeth.
Prolly cause that's how they are used to answering such questions. I get that it's weird, but I dunno, it makes things more interesting
Guessed everything right except for the baseball player (I don’t even know a single name from baseball, as I’ve never watched)
Man, the last question to kill them all, I see you here, you don't wanna give this money :D
Hoo estoniann...
I'd crash this game
damn i could've won it all
Hiroshima💥🔥
1:09 lived for 3 years and do not know the capital, wtf
What is funny about Americans is that they say the names of the states when they are asked where they are from.
It could be because the interviewer sounds American though.
oof reupload moment lol
I’m still mad I got everything except Shohei ☠️
banding machines lol
The last question should have been different. Especially for people living outside the US, who 90% have not even watched baseball once in their lives.
The Americans didn't know it either 💀 even I didn't know and I don't remember his name after watching cause I don't watch baseball at all
The Filipinos were the ones who knew it and they seemed to believe he was world famous so 🤔
it was supposed to be difficult wasn't it? shohei is japanese also so the question makes perfect sense
@@wgnd1614 Absolutely not. The name or the ethnicity is irrelevant when the subject is irrelevant and not a common topic of knowledge. How did you even put logic to that. Difficult yes, but difficult within a field that is not a regional sport in the US.
@@knstn bro i mean tha he is japanese and japanese people throw his face everywhere (even people in the video said they see his face everywhere, people in the comments too) there is 100% logic in that
@@wgnd1614 My Country doesn't do baseball 💯 if it wasn't for luck that I saw this youtube video. I wouldn't have known who he is💁🏽♂️It's not Soo Called logic if the information is not already available everywhere 💯
I got all the answers right give me my 10000 yen
we got lunch 😂😂😂
I was born and raised in Hiroshima and no one knows if there are more convenience store or vending machines. Lol maybe ask them if they think every family owns a sword or not in Japan... Knowing about Anime is not knowing Japan..
コンビニのくだりは日本人でもむずいw
Love these videos. It's so funny to me that US socialised people way WAY overrate the importance of the NBL and NFL internationally. Like honestly, we (at least in Europe) have no idea. Yes, there are *some* people who watch those sports and they're getting more popular, but it just doesn't show up in our media ever. We honestly don't really care haha.
Isnt 100 dollars like 15000 yen tho..??
A bit over 10000 yen
do a flip side of what Japanese know about the outside world. Some know about Hawaii but thats about it.
now do what Cambodians know about Antarctican indigenous cultures.
Isiah look like Mario the singer dont he. Even got the forehead like him lol
Oh! Did something happened?
video was restricted
The baseball question was really weird
No one in the world plays baseball except the United States and Japan
I find the last question was kinda unfair. It was more international/sports related rather than Japan related. As most of the people in the videk said noone watches baseball except Japanese and Americans and it's non existant in the rest of the world so even a "world record breaking" champion would not be someone everyone would know unless you are personally interested. The rest of tge questions were easy basic knowledge. Even the manga question was kinda specific but today eceryone watches/reads anime and manga so they woyld have heard it from somewhere. So yeah. Last q was unfair to the girl who easily got every other question right.
Its a question to test people living in Japan. When i walk out there, i see his face everywhere literally more than 5 times an hour. No need to watch baseball. Its pretty impossible to miss if you pay attention to your surroundings and have some curiosity to know whats happening where you live.
大谷翔平知らんやつがおかしいんだよ
everybody in japan knows about him even people who doesnt watch baseball
shohei is literally japanese... like people in here alreasy said, everyone knows him in japan, that was a perfectly fair answer
Dude i never watch baseball in my whole life
But if you said football
Kubo is the best player that everybody knows him
Is that a blasian
Waiitt how could a backwater city in the agricultural south be the nation's capital?
そういうわけで、みんなが学校で歴史・地理学んで覚えなきゃ草
Asking Europeans a question about baseball:
I cut the guys some slack for the last one, I wouldn't have got it too, baseball is really not an international sport.
The people that have lived in Japan for years should know who Ohtani is, he's always on TV, in ads and commercials.
Ask the same questions to Japanese people.
I’m dead at Hiroshima 😂
Blud said Japan’s capital is hiroshima 😭😭☠️
この時期にこのサムネは良くないな.....
Do you have a sister called Naomi Osaka?
もしかして、大阪なおみさんの兄弟ですか？目元がすごい似ている気がして。。。。
No 😅 they are two completely different people but they do look similar
Not knowing Otani instantly eliminates you from Japanese society
Great channel! Is it just me but I noticed when you ask anyone else from the rest of the world outside of the US, where they're from, they will always say the city/state assuming the whole world should know? I mean most will, but there's always that assumption. Whereas, anyone else from literally any other country than the US would literally just say the country...
It's because the US is soooooo big and because of that and each city/state is entirely different in terms of culture etc. We just want you know and understand where we are really from.
i dont think the baseball question falls into the "know about Japan" category, it was more of "follow baseball" or "USA" category
unclear country？
Well can't blame them on this one not everyone is obsessed with japan like weebs are
You need to be a weeb to know that Tokyo is the capital of Japan??? I didn’t know that 😂
Feels a bit unfair to put an America centered question there. That's like asking "what's the biggest sushi chain in Germany" to Americans!
Always whining. America is the most popular country in Japan
@@francoislechanceux5818 It isn't
@@KokoroKompass Lol. Which country then ? I have lived in Japan. And you, tas de fumier?
@@KokoroKompass Which country then is ?
@@francoislechanceux5818 Thailand, Italy, Germany and France for holiday. Hawaii is also popular. And Brazil has the highest population of Japanese outside Japan.
How can you not know the capital of a country you're in LMFAOOOOOOOO
dudes be living there for years and don't know the capital of it?!?!?!? bro r u serious
The only one I missed was Ohtani, I know him but I don't care about baseball
okay europeans dont play baseball? first time i know about this
without anime , wii sports and i guess some american shows i wouldnt know that baseball even exists. i have never seen anything baseball related in sport stores.
its 90% football here in germany.
i am obviously not sure about every european country, but the guy who said this, is from switzerland which is similar to germany so ...yeah. i am not surprised.
u dont have to walk two minutes... theres like ten right infront of yourface
