If you liked this episode make sure to check out Isaac’s stuff on UA-cam or Instagram (or TikTok)! English subtitles on his short form videos.
These are really great podcasts you are doing. Thoroughly enjoyed all of them so far. Very interesting experiences
Appreciate it. Many more filmed and being edited for the next few months.
As a black man, my perspective on how people of other races interact with our culture and hairstyles is that it doesn’t bother me at all if people imitate our culture or hairstyles out of respect or admiration for who we are and where we come from or even if they just grew up on things from our culture. That’s what culture is for, to bring people together through some form of relatable matter. What it all boils down to is respect. Just like how Japan allows any and everybody to be a part of and interact with their culture and traditions as long as it’s respected, I feel it’s perfectly fine to do the same with our culture because it just brings a medium to relate to one another despite our differences.
He looks like a character from Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, or SEGA's Jet Set Radio (JSRF).
Dang with the headphones I can kind of see this, what a throwback to JSRF lol
You're a great interviewer, this is for sure one of your strengths.
Ohhhh I was waiting for this one!!
Lots of good stuff in this one :))
Okay this episode is Gold! 🏅 i really love the red blue purple analogy. And expressing individuality in a place where it feels sometimes closed off.I can definitely relate to that. Keep it up Max!!! Love to see more of your content😊
Really appreciate it✨🙏 I also thought his red blue purple analogy was something great that I never put in that way before. Just makes sense! Will keep making more, ありがとう！ comments like these are a nice reminder that people really do enjoy what I’m trying to put out here 🫶🏼
Love these episodes Max, I always learn a lot from them!! Keep up the good work.
Very interesting! 🎉
Woah, his genetics are incredible, definitely on the dark skinned side but yet his face also has Asian features.
I am cameroonian living in cameroon, learning japanese and planning to visit Japan soon … this video is soo interesting to me then 😂
Tokyo has really good soba（春菊天そば） though.
i dont like ハーフ either, tbh. for the exact same reason! purple IS half red/blue, but it's *purple*
Hearing Isaac speak in full English is so weird for me, shout out goldnrush podcast tho!
Love the thr blue/red/purple analogy - his comments are spot on! And, definitely relate so much with 出る杭は打たれる and adaptability stories, and the need for Japan to open up and let in some breeze change to allow growth/transition.
Omg, I saw you few weeks ago in Kawaguchiko area when I visited some caves 😁.
That’s why I felt familiar with your face but I don’t know how.
Ebisu!
Now I've got a new podcast to listen to...
Isn't the food in Tokyo a mix of food nationwide in Japan? Tokyo is Japan's mecca; it's the place where people from all over Japan go to get high-paying jobs. Those dreamers brought their local foods with them; they shared recipes and made something new.
I agree with Isaac. Food in Tokyo (Kanto) is just okay in comparison to the other seven regions in Japan. I'm partial to Kansai-style Japanese food. Kansai-style Japanese food is simple in taste. Japanese food shared in all regions is prepared with much more seasoning in Tokyo. Perhaps it's the dashi (soup stock)--I think Kansai prefers Konbu, but YMMV--but I also think Western Japan prefers white/mixed miso in comparison to the folks in Eastern Japan.
In short, food in Tokyo (Kanto) isn't bad, just not as good as regions outside of Kanto =P
Yep, so it wouldn't make sense for Hokkaido to "have better food", as you can get food from any other part of Japan, in Tokyo. But I know where he's coming from because I travel all over Japan. We all have pride in our prefectures, and food is one of the biggest categories when it comes to it.
That description tho, "SHE was born and raised in Sapporo HIS whole life" lmao 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ty for catching this😅 Edited to say “HE” 👀
African genes are soo strong. He looks more like his dad.
I see his mom features but more his dad color and hair.
I think I saw your guest on Takashi (shorts). Please, Africa is not made up of "tribes" only. "Tribe" is defined as a group of people that numbers only about 100000-112000. In Africa, what are called "tribes" are nationalities, or national groups instead. The Bamileke, for instance, can be considered a nationality, not a "tribe". And the Bamilekes are a very dynamic people, and very good business people as well.
🔥🌨🌈
Biologically: 100% Japanese and 100% African.
Dawg you do look like mendi dont cap, hes just light skin and has shorter hair. And bro looks like Ben Stiller, or when Ben Stiller cosplay as Tom Cruise
lol
Believe it's more the spelling and subsequent pronunciation... Lounge... vs "Rounge"... The interchangeability... Like... Lake or Rake... Have them say the name... Larry... uh oh...
very good interview : )
