Watch live with me!! This video took a butt-tone of time and effort to shoot and edit. Not to mention the support of the people being interviewed 🥹 Please help support by giving this video a like! I’d really appreciate the love and support. 🥰
The 1 hour export and import 😩 This video is botta be mad good
We love and appreciate you for always going the extra mile!
@@khalilahd. For Real!
You are such a high quality creator! I’m grateful for the content as it’s genuinely an escape for me. ❤️
We appreciate you, Sundai ❤️
Sis I’m over here crying. This made me feel so happy to see my people thriving in Japan. This representation is so important. Thank you so much for this gift 🥹😭
So glad u enjoyed 🥹
They see you as an AMERICAN dummy not a black person. They already know America is full of different races. Either way your a foreigner to them not a skin color???
@@phoenixhenson3689 you're** ... standard english. But lemme not call you a dummy. Have a beautiful day my friend.
People thrive anywhere. Live your life.
@@MrRossT1 please don’t be tone deaf
I know that this hasn't started yet but it needs a part 2. We also appreciate all the effort that the video took
Thank you love
Also’ check out the Black in Japan UA-cam channel!!!
As a black woman looking to move to Japan in a few short months, I can’t thank you enough for this video. I’ve been struggling with the pros and cons of going to Japan as a black American woman, and even though I’ve studied Mandarin and Japanese already, I still wondered if I’d be accepted. Needless to say, this video’s timing could not have been better for me! Wishing you and everyone in this video lots of love!
do not worry you will be fine there 😍
Well being in the areas these folks are helps. Or in the expat areas, then branch off into other places where more locals are so you can be more emersed into the culture.
There is another persons channel, japanese man, where he interviewed black people there and the foreign black people gave great points. The jamaican man said as long as you know the social ques and etiquette over there the Japanese people will treat you well. If you do not you won't get treated too well. Lol.
They're running over there under guise of work- teaching English but really after their 🧬 Genes, want that 'Good Hair's Weave $100-$300-$500. They don't really want them over there, interviews subliminal asking "when are u getting ur sh...and leaving? There nice with it though
@@shellynwillis4342 There was some video I saw last month, I think it was by a japanese person. Ah, it was a short. It was just that about Japanese people asking foreigners when are you leaving. Lol. Really something. I wonder if they do that in other asian nations too?
@@marlak4203 these types of videos leave that part out they focus on the positive but ignore the negative side of living in Japan
I love how the people in this video are from different backgrounds. This is perspective to the fullest definition
When I was about to move to Japan, I was very anxious about my blackness and how it would be. I found your UA-cam channel some weeks before my move and it gave me great comfort. Now I have been living here for six months and is has been truly amazing. I love love love this video!
So happy to here
@@SundaiLove
I think coming to terms with the fact that nothing in life will be perfect is the safest bet. So don't expect a specific thing to be. I actually cried a little (from laughing lmao) because this video was so well down and so sweet to watch! Especially the older generation of foreigners living in Japan. I appreciate the multiple different views. Even though I always ignore those street interview videos lmaoo
The topic of being black/poc in Japan is so important and I genuinely recommend everyone (black or POC) ask these questions, seek out answers, etc. But to not dwell on it too much for too long. It can truly become draining. You get hundreds of videos saying it's amazing to be black/poc in a specific country and hundreds of videos saying the total opposite. Get your answer, come to terms that no country or place is rid of bad people, and keep it moving!😭
I appreciate how informative and laid back this video was. It wasn't "too" serious or...biased? I guess lmao but I usually ignore anyone who can't see the good AND the bad in a country whenever they give out their opinions. If you're realistic and honest with people and yourself then you yourself should expect a great experience if you travel/move abroad! A great experience will never be a perfect one.
"Find the job you want see what the qualifications are and work your way backwards" Great advice, if you don't have an inside connection, it is advisable to always see what the minimum qualifications are for your desired field and begin working towards obtaining that. It'll also help you see if that is what you really want to do. Great video, beautiful people 🙂♥
I'm white but I think what you did is an incredible service to the community and the way you edited your video is fantastic. That's knowledge I wanted to have for myself as well - I mean, I studied Japanese culture in my anthropology major so I am particularly aware of certain codes and the racist attitude of certain Japanese people towards other ethnicities, but the black experience in Japan has always been something that isn't that talked about - and you mentioned it at the beginning of your video how tough it is black to be on UA-cam even, which sucks because I think the quality of your videos is incredible and the amount of care you put into your editing is phenomenal - I know the likes of Sharla and such have been doing this for 10+ years but I would've absolutely expected your channel to be at their level if not more since you post so regularly, and I'm really pissed to know it's because of YT algorithms putting you down (I mean, allegedly). Anyway, just had to say I love your content and I admire your resilience and your ambitious attitude with your channel. LOVE YA!
🥲 Omg your message was so sweet. Please never change. I really appreciate the support and kind words and the ability to empathize with others outside of your race. Thank you, for watching 🥰
True ❤
❤️❤️
I often meet foreigners who say, "Japanese are racist!" Isn't that exactly racism? I don't think anyone knows of any incidents where Japanese people have been verbally abusive or violent because of their race. I have encountered severe racism in the West (e.g., I was verbally abused, insulted, had my bag taken away and thrown in US), and I think racism in the West is serious and I worry that they are not aware that they are the most racist people in the world.
@@thechikuwa284 that’s exactly what this video is saying
I’m not black but hearing Hilda’s story about the love she puts into doing people’s hair and making them feel beautiful made me so emotional. What a wonderful video, you never miss Sundai. 💞💞
Hi Melissa
Girrrl , you never fail to disappoint! 😍 It was so interesting to watch. You did an excellent job representing a variety of work/backgrounds and opinions of being black in Japan. Thanks for this opportunity and being such a great interviewee. Our chat video that's coming is an organised mess and I love it hahah 💖You are so fun! 😆See you soon love! 💖
😂 I’m a mess. Thanks so much for being a part especially in that wild heat!
"you never fail to disappoint" it's not a compliment ahauahsush
What?? @@gabrielasilva3561
We've finally met your hairdresser ! She's sooo funny ! 😂
Thank you so much for this video Sundai. I've watched plenty of these in the past but yours is so comforting. I also love how informative the video is while still maintaining an entertainment element, your editing is not take for granted 💞 I want to visit Korea and move to Japan and this video is such an encouragement towards that dream ❤️
Sundai!!!! It was such an honor to be a part of this amazing vlog. Thank you so much for taking the time and energy to create this very informative content. So much love, hardwork and time went into this. Otsukaresama deshita ❤️
Yay thanks so much for being a part and sharing your side! I appreciate it
Hi Ijelala. Good to see a Nigerian being represented. I’m planning on coming to Japan soonest and hopefully, visit your salon. Naija for life 👏
Please ijelala, where is your saloon? I am in Tokyo. I wish to make my hair.
I’m white American but my daughter is black and we are living in Japan. You’ve summed it up perfectly!
This video is so well made. I can imagine when the idea of this video was born and reaching out to all these lovely people to plan it, then edit it and now to air and watch it must be so fulfilling.
Sundai you have outdone yourself and should be so proud! I’ve been a long time fan and have been watching corny and marintia but now I have to find Kyles shop :)
UA-cam!!! Get it together! This channel should be way on another level!
💗💗💗💗
Thanx so much 🥲🥹
If your daughter is biologically yours, born of you, then she’s not Black, she’s biracial(half white and half Black). Only 2 Black people can give birth to Black children
Your daughter ain’t black if you’re her biological parents. Mixed people don’t face the same issues a black people.
@@frenchgirl5878I’m guessing some people can’t tell if someone is mixed. They might appear completely black to some, depending on various things.!
@@KantoCafe715 Mam, everyone can tell when somebody is not completely black. Yes there are exceptions, but those do not make the rule. The same way mixed people don't look white, they don't look black. The same way mixed people don't get treated the same as white people, they don't get treated the same as black people. It's not that hard a concept to grasp. Be for real now.
This was very well done, informative, realistic, but also funny.
I love the tech catfish call out 😂 Japan is so advanced in some areas (trains, robotics, auto, etc) but they love paperwork, like every application has to be paper based, and stamped a hundred times, and kept in storage. I guess this may be why they have such great stationary stores 🤔
It's like the country I born and live in Guyana
It paper work and I hate it but love it for different reasons 😅
Ps
I do love my pens and books
Really enjoyed watching this video! I love seeing black people happy and thriving ❤️ I would go to Japan for the Anime and Culture but I don't know how much I would be able to handle standing out so much. I'm so used to seeing black people everywhere where I am(South Africa) I don't know how id manage there but it would definitely be out of my comfort zone and you know what they say about that...
I feel ya, though I’m not black(south East Asian) I get stared at from time to time in the US. It can be uncomfortable but you’ll get use it. Don’t let negativity stop you from living a fulfilling life. Ps. I’d love to visit South Africa one day
I recently left Japan because I didn’t want to teach English anymore but… I loved living there… I regret leaving but I think I needed to take a small break and I think I will go back once I’m feeling 100%
I truly want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. This made me cry and inspired me all together to keep going. It is my dream to move to Japan one day. Watching this video has made me truly connect with my dream all over again. I was just thinking about it this morning on how I am working hard to get there. You have gave me confirmation that it will happen. I am grateful for your hard work on this video. It was fantastic. I am so proud of where you have came from and where to are now. I know you will have great things coming to you and more added to what you have now. I hope to meet you one day. Thank you again. 🥰 Keep up the great work.
I would really love to actually meet all the creators in this video. All are amazing people. Thank you all for sharing your stories. ❤️
Omg I also went to Temple University! So cool to see people from so many walks of life living in Japan, thank you for sharing this Sundai!
Nice 😍
I think people are expecting negative responses. Personally when I lived in Japan back in 2013 I loved it. I was American I wasn’t just black. I could finally be myself and be free. One day I will visit again. I lived in Kyoto people were so quiet, clean, and nice. If they had any questions they came with a respectful attitude. It’s a great place to be as a black person.
Just got back after a month. I do want to live there and Kyoto is one of my top picks along with Kanazawa.
I feel that is always what people expect when asking these questions over and over because several UA-camrs did videos with these questions but it seems they are never satisfied until they hear a single negative response.
From one person of color to the next, I'm also a transplant American, who is from Trinidad and Tobago but grew up in SoCal, but now live in Đà Nẵng Việt Nam, please allow to say this was the most inspiring segment of being black in Japan I've ever seen, very positive and very well done, my hats off to you, plus you look like a younger version of my buddy Curtis sister who's lives back in Southern California.... I actually shared your video to various friends.
This is one of the best videos ive ever seen. Thank you so much to Sundai, the editor and everyone interviewed!
So kind 🥹
Honestly this video was necessary for me! I’m currently living in Korea and I’ve just been feeling like my time here is coming to an end and just didn’t know where I want to go next. This video just gave me some things to think about. I’m definitely going to plan a trip to Japan when things open up and see how I feel. Thanks for this video 💜💜💜
Are you a teacher there? If so how long can you be one or is there a time cap on it?
@@7279654 yes, I am a teacher. There's no time cap on being a teacher here. I know some people who've been teachers here for between 10-15 years. So it's really just a matter of if that's your career goal and what you want to do, especially for that long.
@@katefab1028 Tysm for responding. I wonder can you get citizenship being a teacher for that long.
Sundai this has been so incredible! Thank you for the work and love poured into it
Thanks so much 🥹
I've seen all of these beautiful people in my research on being black in Japan, its so crazy seeing them all in one video.
Even just being a black viewer on UA-cam is challenging! Can’t even imagine the struggles you have as a creator. Just know that one of few reasons I’m still using this app is to watch your content. This was so enlightening for me, thanks for all the hard work you put into this video & channel
Being a black viewer is challenging?
Can you elaborate please?
I’m so happy you posted this. I’ve been living in Japan for 2 yrs and struggling to do my own protective styles :( I will definitely be visiting her shop
I wish I could LOVE this video cause liking it isn't enough. I am moving next year and I relate to all of your guests in one or more ways! I'm moving to Chubu next year and I can't wait to get my hair done with Hilda and try Kyle's treats! Your videos are always so inspiring. I'm so excited to begin my life in Japan!
This was done so well! I loved seeing the different point of views from black people who are all from different places and backgrounds 👏🏾
This was absolutely amazing Sundai! Netflix needs to send u a contract ASAP! Because this content needs to be seen by all!
Seriously!! UA-cam needs to get it together!
🥲 thank you
use the like button you all
Loving how you put ur hairdresser!!! Gworlll! Hi to everyone in the series! I’m crying!!!! So much love!!!!!
as a white german, sitting here and watching this type of content of your, Sundai, i really really enjoing it! You took so much work in it, all this people (of course you too!) are such inspirational humans. I love all the different characters and backgrounds in here. this is so imporant AND interessting to watch! i love your "regular" content, but this video hits different (in a really good way)
Finde ich auch toll.
I really enjoyed Hilda & Cornelia.
And sorry to everyone that has had a negative experience in your home country ❤️
I am white and pale as one can get. I am turning 30 this year and went back to uni because i have a dream of living in japan x) will become and IT-tech and try to get a job through a Swedish company with office in Japan.
Also, regarding deodorant. On the main road of the shopping street in ueno there is a house in the middle just after the statue. If you go to the basement you will find another food market, where they also sell foreign deodorant :)
So if you need deo that is a good spot :)
Idk where even start... The editing, sick angles ❤️, the questions, the footage, the atmosphere, this is absolutely beautiful.
This video is a blessing, I've been contemplating going to japan. I've always want to climb Mt. Fuji. I pray I run into one of you one day, I would love to have a conversation, and I will be frequenting Aunties Salon ( Naija girl here representing!!! ) and Uncles Bakery on my journey there next year. Open the Borders Japan 🙏
This was absolutely fantastic, I love the thought and care that went into this and just showcasing the other side of the coin! Keeping it so real - love it!
Even if it doesn't concern me or I wasn't the target audience for this video, I found it super insightful and very motivating
Sundai!! 🥰I was on vacation when you went LIVE! I am so flippen proud of you girl! 🤩🦋 such a beautiful representation of the black experience in Japan. In high school, (35 years ago)🤯😮 I was an exchange student , this was practically unheard of for black girls back then. My friends thought I was crazy. I returned to the United States unstoppable 🏃♀, and continued to travel. I always tell young black people to travel or even get into an exchange program. Your video continues to inspire the young and the seasoned! You are doing it right Sundai! I appreciate you so much! Thank you!❤
You answered something that has always been in the back of my mind. Absolutely love this!
This was so fun! I enjoyed the difference perspectives.
I really appreciate the time it took to make this video! It's beautiful and inspiring! Thank you for all your hard work and love that you put into it!

That was so cool loved everything about this interview
I really enjoyed this video and loved this format! Ugh when I don't think your channel can get any better, you drop this!
Sundai this was absolutely amazing. I love seeing us do big things outside of the US. I wish I knew Japan was an option when I was younger and not already established as I am now. Thank you for the hard work you put in for this vlog. I know this will help a lot of folks make that leap.
Such a great video! This answered a lot of my questions and gave me a great perspective. Thank You ❤
Superb, Sundai. This is an excellent gift to the community and encouragement to visit Japan. I sincerely appreciate your content and presence on UA-cam, but I want to say a special thank you for this one! The energy, diversity of experiences, and perspectives is excellent.

Great job! so fun and informative!
Really enjoyed the interviews and different perspectives on things. Thanks, Sundai! Much love 😘
