@@cindorella1495 Exactly. She is tapping directly into our deepest sense of Self.... we can HEAR the Truth of it. I feel she is truly inspired. She is a true gift.
Finally, an interview where I can feeld Marie is appreciated for the magic she has created. Thank you for not making such a joke like the other talkshows
@@twirltwirlful An interpreter translates orally, which means they translate what the source "says". A translator would interpret written text.

@@vickyzeng4834 Hi there! That was a great explanation! I've done both & I find the interpretation a lot harder...as far as the stress level goes.. I can take a little break while working on translation if I needed a little nap or little snack!(^^) However, doing translation all day for a long period can make me crave for a human contact!(^^) I wish I had a pet to keep me company..
I like that Marie Kondo always answers interview questions very politely with so much respect even though the interviewer does not understand Japanese.
Yeah, I felt Ellen and Jimmy were disrespectful of her and her methods. They had no desire to learn, it was stunt for them, and they took joy in ridiculing that it all went back to same as before.
Ok, so this interview brought me so much JOY!!!! Marie was treated with respect, and appreciation of her really good method. I watched the Ellen's interview and that brought me negative feelings and I was so disappointed at how they treated her and laughed at her method. However, this interview was amazing and gave me back my JOY!!! Now I'm full of positive energy.
She is such a wonderful human with a kind heart and a beautiful energy. Her interpreter / translator did an amazing job. Thanks and best wishes to them!
Hi there!! I appreciate you saying that, as my native tongue is Japanese...even though I hardly speak it in the States!(^^). I still do think it's a beautiful language & MARIE also has a pretty, delicate voice that enhances the beauty of the language!(^^)(^^). Her Japanese is proper & elegant!(^^) On the other hand, I often get disappointed hearing many young Japanese kids, including the girls speaking with so much slangs & made up words or sounding like a drunken truck driver that sounds plain awful! Sometimes it doesn't sound like Japanese anymore... If I ever spoke like them, mom would have fit while pinching my cheek!(^^). Luckily I never spoke like that!(^^)
That's a great interview! Thank you for respecting her and her method (Also I like how she said thank you to interpreter at the end, that was really nice)
The only thing I wasn’t too keen on was her and everything being called “so cute.” Maybe cause I’ve had to deal with that my whole life and it just makes you not feel on the same level as everyone else. But honestly, this is probably one of my favorite interviews with her on a talk show because the woman actually took the Q&A and demonstrations pretty seriously, unlike many others. She was very impressed with her method and was excited to do it, which I was thankful for. Though, the people in the studio were kind of laughing, she was still pretty into the session. Also, I loved how when Ida started translating/interpreting, she said, “I love this.” I think she truly did love hearing the responses from Marie and Ida, and I really appreciate that. It’s, also, beneficial that they took time to do this and not just 5-minutes, because many things get overlooked and rushed when that happens. So, I am very thankful that this one was a pretty good interview for these talk shows.
So many of the interviewers are grossly patronizing when they make a comment on how "tiny" or "cute" she is. . . . this is a full grown woman with two children, a husband, and a self-built tidying empire - show her the same respect you'd show any other wildly successful entrepreneur and subject matter expert.
Wow, my step-bro introduced me to her Netflix show (lonf story short, we had a very weird conversation that ended up him telling me about it) about a month ago, and I'm already seeing her on the news! I love her :3
tidying up is very normal to Japanese. They even have this 5S method which they learn early in school👌 U shld see their taxis, super neat even with all those printed ads and laminated infomercials. ...taxi drivers normally have coin trays , a otebook and a pen 😁
Interesting methods. I'm surprised she doesn't the other method of folding a fitted sheet. It incorporates her method of squaring things up & aligning the corners.
why does the interviewer keep calling her "cute" and "itty bitty" ??!?!!!! she's a 34 year old woman, i'm sure if Marie Kondo was an English speaking white woman she wouldn't be spoken about like an 8 year old...
Carmen Penelope its just the way Japanese people are. They age really slow and guys in their 30s, some look like college kids. I dont think she will take offence.
Carmen Penelope because she is cute. She is also tiny. I’d imagine it’s not meant to be insulting. But I guess if someone is looking for reasons to feel offended, they could be offended, regardless of race or ethnicity. I’ve been called “cute” and “tiny” and I was not offended. I took it as a complement and expression of endearment.
I see people getting upset that she's being called cute and "treated like a child", but you have to know that most likely it's not considered offensive to Marie. Being cute and childlike (Kawaii) is something many Japanese women aspire to, no matter age. It's a cultural thing.
It's actually not. I love in Japan and work amongst teachers in their 30s and 40s, they call eachother "kawaii" all the time. I've even tried calling someone utsukushii(beautiful) before and they told me that's strange, Japanese women prefer cute as a compliment. It's a cultural difference.
Honestly, this is all common sense. Not hating or anything. But I find it funny how Americans eat everything up like it's some new phenomenon. LOL. I'm sorry. Anyway, I've been inspired to tidy up my home after seeing how Mari actually has a positive attitude in cleaning up and also the effect of having your home in order. That is the true key. It brings peace to have less clutter.
IT IS MARIE KONDO'S SOFT, SENSITIVE, DELICATE, RESPECTFUL AND LOVING ENERGY THAT WE WESTERNERS NEED TO MIMICK. THIS ISN'T ONLY ABOUT REDUCING AND DECLUTTERING AND FOLDING. WESTERNERS ARE TOO AGGRESSIVE AND TOO GREEDY.
remarks of 'Little Marie' and her body expressions towards her ... why is the interviewer shading the beautiful visit and as if she was tall. She is loud too. I can't with this.
i wish she would stop calling her "little bitty" and generally being so condescending. she's an adult in her 30s. it's incredibly rude to speak that way to a grown woman.
I live and work in Japan. Japanese women in their 30s and 40s call eachother "kawaii" all the time and even corrected me when I tried to call them "utsukushii" (beautiful). It is NOT considered belittling or rude in their culture to be cute. It's a compliment.
The adjective 'Cute' is not confined to discribing little girls only. It has broader applications. There are grandmas that are cute. That is certainly not insulting. It CAN be used in a condiscending way... BUT...it is MOST often used as an endearment.
@@faithrada Hi there!! I'm Japanese residing in the States for over 40 years & just wanted to tell you that you are absolutely right!! I knowJapan is obsessed with "KAWAII" stuff & people & food/desserts!!! They usually use that term as a compliment!(^^) I'm indeed short with a round baby face, so almost everyone I met told me "Awwww you're such a tiny, cute person!" I used to feel bit weird in my 30s but I learned to take it as a compliment. Now it really doesn't bother me as I'm now a senior citizen!(^^)(^^) If those people disliking that female host knew Japanese pop culture "KAWAII" culture, they wouldn't have gotten so upset, you know? I'm sure MARIE wasn't offended at all.
Reality exists in the eye of the beholder. Imho.. she is one of the MORE human of beings I have come accross. Her qualities of compassion and joy are certainly not the hallmark of robots.
I believe that was the point... ?Hard to believe but... some people have yet to read her books. I don't know these people... but I am sure they are out there... somewhere.
it would be even more boring if she had to exhaust what English she knows by using broken bits and rehearsed phrases. At least this way she can say what she actually wants.
If you'll go to Japan and talk Niphonggo with Japanese without even knowing the knowledge that's the time that I'll understand your point. English is not the only language FYI, maybe you're not informed.
@Korean Emperor I thought it... you typed it. LOL Some Americans are such an embarrassment. Many Europeans speak a number of languages.... fluently. Some native born Americans can barely speak English.
She’s making big bucks in America but still she can’t even speak basic English. (In my defense I’m not making big bucks so it’s okay for me to have typos 😂)
Super Sonico You remind me of the recent Miss USA. If you have anything more to say pls write in Japanese cos that’s what Marie and I speak. よろしくお願いします。
Im sure she can speak basic English, but the things she is saying are not basic. Can you imagine if she tried using her limited English to convey what she wants to say? It would sound like a simple trifle. By using her first language she can eloquently express whatever she wants to say.
I don't understand Japanese but I could listen to her forever. She's just so peaceful.
She speaks to the soul, and not the person ❤
She’s like a human lofi, but instead of music, it’s about organizing.
@@cindorella1495 Exactly. She is tapping directly into our deepest sense of Self.... we can HEAR the Truth of it.

She has such a soothing voice.

i love that she makes eye contact with the interviewer and not the interpreter
Can i just commend the intrepeter too! she’s awesome ✌🏼
She really is amazing!
I love her!!
Yes Ida is great!
I was thinking the same thing! She is awesome. Doing her job amazingly
Just love her energy! Also very glad they called the interpreter an interpreter rather than a translator

Fantastic interpreter ! And Kon Marie is great too!
Hannah Crumley Her name is Marie kondo ! Konmari is her tidying method
this is much better than ellen's and jimmy's interview with her/
Yeah, I felt Ellen and Jimmy were disrespectful of her and her methods. They had no desire to learn, it was stunt for them, and they took joy in ridiculing that it all went back to same as before.
@@pchan232 yea (;-;)
They weren't taking her seriously and just made fun of her method too much
Jimmy even planted a cockroach to scare her
I can also recommend her interview with Stephen Colbert.
the interviewer is so good! she's fun and she acknowledges the interpreter well

She is making us Americans realize the excess in our lives. Very real
Japanese is such a beautiful and calm sounding language

I’m Japanese . Thank you for saying that.
maybe ur a weeb..
Spanish and japanese languages sound musical.

Thank you for asking the right questions for us, learned more about the method.
Loved this host! Compassionate lovely woman awesome heart ♥️
I love that the host engaged and thanked the translator. Kodus!. The fitted sheet fold is not the best but I appreciate Marie! :)
i love her!! shoe boxes...OMG that's a great idea!!
thanks for this interview, one of the best imo!
Im so in love with the Japanese language 😍
I also fangirl over Marie's cuteness lol
I love her
I just love her ❤

The interviewer is SO good - loved every minute of this. What's her name?
The Container Store should use Marie Kondo as a spokesperson for their containers.
Lol except she doesn't condone the use of many of their storage containers
Mari kundo is so good,
I'm in love
All my son"s T-shirts are folded this way and they take very little space and they it remains neat always!
why does the interviewer keep calling her "cute" and "itty bitty" ??!?!!!! she's a 34 year old woman, i'm sure if Marie Kondo was an English speaking white woman she wouldn't be spoken about like an 8 year old...
because she is cute obviously. when saying someone being cute is offensive?
Carmen Penelope its just the way Japanese people are. They age really slow and guys in their 30s, some look like college kids. I dont think she will take offence.
I get that a lot for being tiny and petite at work and I don’t get offended at all. I don’t think Marie Kondo gets offended either.
Agree. Cute is not a compliment if it’s not meant for a puppy or a child. Its condescending
Carmen Penelope because she is cute. She is also tiny. I’d imagine it’s not meant to be insulting.

I love Marie Kondo 💕
She sparks joy in all of us
I love how Japanese sounds and in Marie and her interpret sounds calm and relaxing but strangely I struggle with some anime they scream too much
anime voices are really over the top. normal Japanese people dont sound like that
the interviewer mentioned a season 2 at the end - has a season 2 been confirmed for tidying up?
I was wondering that also. Sure hope so.
Keep only stuff that make you joy in your home.
"little bitty" is pretty rude
I am 5 ft and 39 yrs old. People say that to me and its really just a term of endearment.
Kougeru ..”little bitty marie in highschool”..
I'm 5 ft 2 and almost 40. So when people call me itty bitty, I don't get offended AT ALL. If it means they find me cute and youthful, so be it.
@@audraelynnegrimmelhaussen8808 yup! My thoughts exactly!

I could do without the “Itty Bitty Marie”. That seems disrespectful even though it’s meant as like a joke or term of endearment
That definitely stood out to me as well.

DAVAO Conyo brought me here...
The interpreter is crazzzyy,,she was like gargling...u know what i mean
Her voice should be on a sleep app
Yes you are quite right. It is degrading to speak to an adult woman.
Nice that she took off her shoes 6:16
Cuteness overdose!
Unfortunately I have never seen any leather jacket folding I have so many
Davao Conyo
This is Feminism at its finest... more women should feel the Joy and perceive the world through her lens.
こんまり 大人気やな
😌😌
Hi
Can she stop calling her “Little Bittie Marie,” as if that’s not condescending AF...
Her name is pronounced Mah-Ree-Eh Kohn-Doh. Not Ma-ree Condo!
How about belts ?
remarks of 'Little Marie' and her body expressions towards her ... why is the interviewer shading the beautiful visit and as if she was tall. She is loud too. I can't with this.
So SOFTNESS in her voice. I think it's the same with some of japonophones ? 🤔
at 3:09 the host starts to understand Japanese.
IttyBitty Marie?
i wish she would stop calling her "little bitty" and generally being so condescending. she's an adult in her 30s. it's incredibly rude to speak that way to a grown woman.
shes not a doll stop saying shes cute and act like shes a little girl its so belittling and rude
