Sounds great compared to some guy's idea of a date which is where you sit on their couch watching them play a video game. If someone is genuinely interested in me and is kind to me, then I really don't care where we eat whether it's waffle house, saizeriya, macdo or a picnic with home made food.
@@Lavi-Aemilia-Astori if it’s truly embarrassing it might contain details that they don’t want people to see and recognize. Plus, memories incredibly embarrassing aren’t exactly the nicest To remember
26yo dating 19yo boys, then got upset after eating out at saizeriya. yeah, now i understand why she dating boys 7 years younger than her, lack of consideration innit
I think the crazier thing is that she expected a foreigner to know of this social faux-paus and took it personally when he didn't. I can certainly see why she looks for younger men. She needs them at the same maturity level as her.
When I was 19 and attending fashion school I made oven baked garlic and oven baked potatoes. I was eager to try the oven baked garlic where you just slice the whole bulb in half and put some oil onto it. The whole appartement smelled of garlic but I got noseblind to it the next morning. I got on the bus in the morning and it was packed, standing room only, smooshed against someone else. Less than a meter away I hear two people talking to each other "wow, someone ate garlic for sure". It was at that moment I realized I reeked of garlic. At first I thought "but I showered and brushed my teeth" but then remembered that garlic smell comes out through your skin or something. That whole day I was super self conscious and feared someone would say something.

over here in the philippines it's common for karaoke private rooms. not too long ago while we were at karaoke a german guy barged into our room by accident but we hyped him up by our singing. eventually he brought his other italian friend and they were both older than us and it was weird as hell. we did show them a good time tho with the karaoke but man, i wish they left sooner lmao
Our general rule as a couple is whoever's idea it is for the date pays a little more and has the option to pay for the other. If they pay all of it, the other one pays for the next date (obviously it's also their date idea too). If it's both of our idea and both planned it, we usually have no issues splitting the bill. Just communicate and don't be afraid to talk about it. Assumption is poison in relationships.
But the person planning the date has more work than the person just joining the date. So isn´t it unfair if the person who´s idea the date is has to plan everything AND pay? It would be fairer if one person plans and one pays.
@@sskhussaini Not really. You have to propose an activity to the girl. If she likes it you can go on with your planning. If she doesn´t like it she will reject your proposal and you can look for a different activity. This goes on until you submit a proposal to the girl that she likes and accepts. So you cannot do what you actually like. You have to find something that the girl likes. If you are lucky she likes the same activity which you also like. If you are unlucky you have to prepare a trip that is in her interest, but not so much in yours.
For me, the guy (me) always pay for the date unless the girl physically pulls out the bank card, as otherwise it would just descend into a verbal fight, albeit polite. Still I won't go to expensive restaurants unless the the girl did something above and beyond, and I'm feeling in the mood to reciprocate. The biggest reason isn't cost (although that can be a big reason, especially if wine is considered - I don't drink on dates) but that formal restaurants won't allow the guy to sit alongside the girl, and that's needed for physical contact, which gets the intimate attraction going.
it's interesting to me as a girl learning the language to see online interactions between average japanese girls on a predominantly japanese forum site dedicated to talking about things japanese girls experience everyday in their home country. kinda gives you that feeling of sonder, the realization that everyone has a life just as vivid and complex as your own.
Indeed so. I came up with this realization recently too. It’s hard to when life just seems so unfair but the complex part is that everyone’s life is in its own way complicated and with its own hellishness.
I think that woman was unsatisfied with your date because people of her age probably have much different expectations than someone who is 19 years old, and both of you failed to realize that; maybe it's more so her fault because she's older and has probably been there before. Like, when you're 19 you might as well still feel like you're a high school student. On a date? McDonalds is kinda the norm, and for a certain economic level it actually might be a treat!
I have a half brother. We share the same dad. My brother was born when I was around 10. My dad took me to the hospital to see him and his mum 1 day after he was born and upon entering the room I mistook the woman in the first bed as his gf who I had known for 2 years at that point. I congratulated her and sat on her bed. It wasn't until my dad looked at me in confusion and told me that I was talking to the wrong person and that his gf and my brother were in the bed next to her. This is a memory I can not forget. I have so many more embarassing stories ; ;
I was camping with a large group of boy scouts and their fathers. I went to the fire in the center of camp calling to my dad who was crouching over the fire. He wouldn't respond after multiple yells, so I slapped him on the ass. Guy turns around... and he's not my dad.
That Saizeriya fact made me realise how often I saw it as a trope in romcoms. Didn't recognize it was trope until now but looking back it was too obvius.
Damn that last story might be like taking a girl to McDonald’s some of the complaints were not too serious like the karaoke but overall was understandable as for splitting depends on who asked out or if you’ve done it 2-3 times already
Also the situation for the "date". I've met girls who I've ended up dating regularly as friends first. No reason to pay the whole bill if you're just "friends" for the time being.
I always find i ridiculous when girls expect a foreigner to know things he cannot know. Like taking a girl to that particular family restaurant. How can a foreigner possibly know it this restaurant has a bad reputation. It just shows how egocentric and narrow minded that girl was. I mean if she came to your country you wouldn´t expect her to know what restaurants have a godd or bad reputation right.
Any foreigner that spent some time in Japan knows that As he said, it was when he just arrived there Dating foreigners is already real hard (not for nothing that most Japanese/foreigner couples fail) if on top of that the foreigner knows nothing about the local dating customs, there will be so much frustration on both side that it can't work. Remember that by dating a Japanese citizen in Japan you accept the rule of the game, if you don't want to then just date an other foreigner (which is actually what a lot of foreigners in Japan end up doing)
My gf is 29 (one year older than me) and she loves Saizeriya. She regularly wants to go but I don't really like it that much and would rather support local restaurants. Of course, on an early date it's an awful choice though.
Don't say "compared to the west" when talking about paying. In Scandinavia women find it offensive if you insist on paying the entire bill. It's most common to split the bill, but many people also have an agreement that "the person who invites out pays". I find it often when people say "the west" they refer to the Anglosphere (USA, UK, Australia...) only.
Berliner here, its not seen as offensive at all, and paying the full bill at a restaurant is almost necessary, though that might be because we Germans just try to get the other to pay always :p
My mum would always go on girls channel, as we both live in australia. She uses it to kinda keep in touch with the homeland, but i'd try to read some of the posts if she was reading them on the tv, but my japanese isnt super great.

I remember once at a train station in Gifu city there was a young girl coming out of the toilet rushing towards the train platform. What she didn't know was that there was like a meter of toilet paper flying behind her from under her skirt. Coincidently I was going to the same platform so I poked her back and notified her. That face of embarrassment of hers I will never forget.
I certainly picked up the bill for my partner when we were initially going out, however once we became a proper couple, we almost always split the bill. Every now and again, I’ll spontaneously say :「僕のおごりです。」(It’s my treat.) In turn, sometimes she buys things for me, which I never would’ve expected dating someone back in the western world. Lastly, the Saizeriya thing is absolutely hilarious. Not being ironic, I love the place and sometimes get cheap pizza and wine with my partner there. Luckily, she’s not picky with restaurants either, ha ha.

For first dates, a somewhat fancy cafe is the best location imo. It's not going to be that expensive, so you can easily pay the whole bill and just avoid thinking about it beforehand. If it was an expensive restaurant or something like a trip to Disneyland, I'd split the bill, because - it's the first date. I'm open to paying for something like that a bit later when it's clear that there is some chemistry/mutual attraction/potential for a real relationship, but for someone that I don't even really know yet? Nah - even if they are cute, first dates are too much of a gamble for that.
It was recommended to sneeze or cough into the elbow of sleeves to avoid spraying the virus onto hands covering the mouth (norm reaction pre pandemic). But this ex BF was 'Because he blew his nose in the short-sleeved section as a matter of course.' so probably using sleeves like a hanky! Ewwww 🤢Don't you be huggin' me after that snot fest.
The whole "man pays for the meal" dates back to when women didn't generally have jobs or money because of 'traditional family values' and so of cause the man payed for everything. Now days loads of women have jobs and money and therefore there is no reason for men to have to pay for the meal. Your either an independent modern women and split the bill, or your a traditional obedient housewife and the man pays the bills, you can''t have your cake and eat it too
At 6:51 people don't realize that someone could be handicapped, with back issues, slipped disc and so on. Always assume someone has a disability. I am strong but overweight as well and I too get shoulder pains or whatever from working around the house, and I just dread if someone would ask me in the store to help them pick up a heavy item on my day off when I'm trying to recover.
Once when skiing, my parents rented out this town house type hotel room, and I accidentally walked into the one next ours and came face to face with an entire family eating dinners while playing card games.
shame about the photobooth one, i hear that and my assumption is 'he thought she was cute enough without the filters' but i guess she didn't see it that way lol
I went to the restaurant Moe’s (in America) and there the staff says ‘Welcome to Moe’s’ pretty loudly. My friends and I were at one where the staff was not doing it every time and not very loudly. So we started saying it instead while seated and eating our food. No shame! Lol
i think one bad thing about Japanese culture is how women value men based on their income. of course this isnt all Japanese women but it seems to be a very common ideology. in the west its more common for women to date men based on personality and compatability.
This is why more and more Japanese men are living alone. Japan is generally considered to be a male-dominated society, but when it comes to relationships, it's totally different. Men pay for almost everything, and women demand higher income and even more educational background from men. If you look at matrimonial websites in Japan, it's pretty hellish. Men demand nothing from women but many women expect men to earn two to three times the average income, and many women will not marry a man who is not a doctor. And in the home, the wife controls almost all of her husband's income. Surprisingly, Japan has the highest proportion of wives controlling their husbands' income in the world. Marriage in Japan means that men lose almost all their freedom and work like slaves every day for their families. No wonder many Japanese men do not marry and live alone with such a situation.
"in the west its more common for women to date men based on personality and compatability." what? a lot of people also just look for heigh, attractiveness and income in the west too
Maybe it’s the low income upbringing I had but the fact she got upset about the restaurant is dumb to me hell I find red lobster and Olive Garden the fancy restaurants for me
Yeah, honestly same here. Though i'm guessing it had a lot to do with such a large age gap. She was basically dating a collage student, most us collage students are fuckin broke lmao
In high school, I was gonna ask this girl to homecoming and as I was approaching her from behind going down the stairs, I fell down literally when I was about to start talking and she saw me and then I def had no courage after that. So I just left it as is. We didn’t know each other well either so she prolly just glanced and was like “whatever”. And as a senior, this big dude in my class yelled from the back when I was talk to the teacher, “he’s wearing a girl coat”. And everyone just laughed. Prolly doesn’t sound that bad but for someone who cares about how they look and dress, this was the last blow I needed before graduating
3:37 The no laugh games are genuinely some of my favorite media of all time. Take all the times I've ever cried laughing and GNT is responsible for at least 1/3rd. Go watch it
1:50 that reminds me of a time I was in a bus and I was looking at a polish cow meme and accidentally turned the volume up to max so everyone on the bus heard “Tylko jedno w głowie mam Koksu pięć gram, odlecieć sam W krainę zapomnienia W głowie myśli mam Kiedy skończy się ten stan”
I have a similar story to 3:38 ‘s story. It actually happened to a friend of mine, but i was there to witness it. We were both in our high school art class and it happened to be dead silent for a long time as we did our work. I guess my friend forgot to set their phone to silent because Suddenly out of the blue, my friend received a text notification at full volume. The best part was they had set the notification sound as Charjabug’s cry from Pokemon Sun and Moon. (Quick edit for context, this is what it sounds like: ua-cam.com/video/LYTZMjM9sLo/v-deo.htmlsi=nB94qnrW189gSBRN so imagine this noise breaking a long wave of concentrated silence) Needless to say, the whole classroom heard and burst out laughing uncontrollably. The teacher was not happy.
It's called "Downtown no Gaki no Tsukai ya Aarahende!!" It's a late night variety show that's been on the air since the '80s. The "No Laughing" challenges were a yearly special they did from 2003-2020. It has a large following outside of Japan, and many episodes have been subtitled. The websites Gaki Archives and ChikiChikiTube have most of the translated episodes.

Me and my brother used to live in an apartment, and we didn't lock the door because it felt secure with the building's guard not allowing strangers to enter. One afternoon, I was playing on my Xbox 360, and my brother was on the PC in the living room. Suddenly, the main door of our unit opened, and a woman entered, talking on the phone. Unaware, she continued towards the stairs. As she reached the second floor, she realized it was the wrong unit, she hurried back down, and caught us staring at her wide eyes. She apologized profusely, and we couldn't help but laugh so fucking loud i think she hear us laughing outisde 😂 me and my brother was dying. worst part is that both of us is only wearing boxers xD idk if embarrassing for her or us.
months ago, I went to the video of a site called italki. i was doing a section where i explained why japanese people don't make good friends and a weird japanese girl was answering me, who is from osaka. she explains that a number of Japanese people are attracted to foreigners. but she never explains how we could meet them. she made other answers, every time someone talks about a dating site, the girl said that it's not possible, that the Japanese avoid answers from foreigners... I didn't understand. I followed him on his channel recently to talk about his shades, but my comments aren't showing up. is it a cookie issue? I would like to talk about this with someone reasonable, who does not know me, without bad faith. this is not a troll, please can someone explain this girl's problem to me?
I feel bad for the girl who yelled the customer greeting out loud. I used to work at a burrito chain called Moe’s, and anytime anyone walked in you had to do some ridiculous LOUD animated “WELCOME TO MOOOOOE’S!!” Thing… and I did it so much I would be yelling it in my sleep, in my dreams that yell would interrupt everything… at parties I’d get a little tipsy and yell WELCOME TO MOESSS! anytime anyone walked in. Years after I moved on to other jobs and I still got that random Moe’s yell from friends lol. We’d start saying crazy stuff too when all the other employees were yelling. They’d all say “WELCOME TO MOES!” and we’d take turns yelling stuff like “yo mamas a hoe!” Or whatever we could try and get away with lol

I remember once at a train station in Gifu city there was a young girl coming out of the toilet rushing towards the train platform. What she didn't know was that there was like a meter of toilet paper flying behind her from under her skirt. Coincidently I was going to the same platform so I poked her back and notified her. That face of embarrassment of hers I will never forget.
the girl who is sick of the who has to pay discussions is so real i'm sick of seeing them on twitter as well
That image you used at the end of the guy pointing while someone shows a lemon lmao
Always great to see you posts 👍👍👌👌
I love your girlschannel vids.... they ring true with my experiences here! like going to saizeria on a date..
I certainly picked up the bill for my partner when we were initially going out, however once we became a proper couple, we almost always split the bill.
Every now and again, I’ll spontaneously say :「僕のおごりです。」(It’s my treat.) In turn, sometimes she buys things for me, which I never would’ve expected dating someone back in the western world.
Lastly, the Saizeriya thing is absolutely hilarious. Not being ironic, I love the place and sometimes get cheap pizza and wine with my partner there. Luckily, she’s not picky with restaurants either, ha ha.
When you said you were browsing girlschannel, I couldn't help but imagine you on your bed, kicking your feet in the air behind you, on your phone.
Thank you for introducing me to new study material ***heads over to girls channel*** 笑
Hope that car key guy didn't end up with it lodged in his brain like Homer Simpson's legendary crayon~ /s
most of them seem really shallow honestly, your friend included :/

3:44 Gaki no Tsukai! It is god tier, I’ve loved it for years and years :)
Some of these breakup reasons sound so petty, I‘m honestly happy for the guys who got out of that relationship…
Honestly they're probably high school girls... Can't blame them. They are immature and childish
So are the men who chooses to pay only for beautiful girl, both are the same
@@licas3214 When all women have to offer are their bodies, don't be surprised if that's all men care about.
Yeah shame on that woman for breaking up with a guy who was bragging about bullying someone out of society
For first dates, a somewhat fancy cafe is the best location imo. It's not going to be that expensive, so you can easily pay the whole bill and just avoid thinking about it beforehand. If it was an expensive restaurant or something like a trip to Disneyland, I'd split the bill, because - it's the first date. I'm open to paying for something like that a bit later when it's clear that there is some chemistry/mutual attraction/potential for a real relationship, but for someone that I don't even really know yet? Nah - even if they are cute, first dates are too much of a gamble for that.
5:25 Hold on. In the US, I see people sneeze into their sleeves or elbows all the time. Is this not normal?
It was recommended to sneeze or cough into the elbow of sleeves to avoid spraying the virus onto hands covering the mouth (norm reaction pre pandemic).
But this ex BF was 'Because he blew his nose in the short-sleeved section as a matter of course.' so probably using sleeves like a hanky! Ewwww 🤢Don't you be huggin' me after that snot fest.
1:38 This happened to me during class
The song was Ren'ai Circulation
The whole "man pays for the meal" dates back to when women didn't generally have jobs or money because of 'traditional family values' and so of cause the man payed for everything. Now days loads of women have jobs and money and therefore there is no reason for men to have to pay for the meal. Your either an independent modern women and split the bill, or your a traditional obedient housewife and the man pays the bills, you can''t have your cake and eat it too
This is true. You can't be "equal" if only one pays for everything
Except you can have both, because enough modern men are pushovers and allow it to happen.
fix your grammar feminist
idc you guys take this decision way too seriously, if someone acts like a bitch don’t date them
@@lifeisbeautiful015 Cry grammar nazi
It's interesting how they find pretty regular western interactions as some of the most embarrassing things they can imagine.
At 6:51 people don't realize that someone could be handicapped, with back issues, slipped disc and so on. Always assume someone has a disability. I am strong but overweight as well and I too get shoulder pains or whatever from working around the house, and I just dread if someone would ask me in the store to help them pick up a heavy item on my day off when I'm trying to recover.
Once when skiing, my parents rented out this town house type hotel room, and I accidentally walked into the one next ours and came face to face with an entire family eating dinners while playing card games.
Great video! Your voice is quite charismatic that I wanna hear you narrating my life-story
that sounds like the japanese version of crystal cafe.
one peek there as a dude just showed how insane some women really are
There are no women on Crystal Cafe.
@@cookieface80 no i believe there are cuz they are not shy about showing how much they hate trans women
@@cookieface80 nah i believe them cuz they are not shy about hating trans women
@@cookieface80 nah i believe them cuz they are not shy about hating trans MTFs
3:43 So Japan has a whole TV show based on the concept of "you laugh you lose"? Damn
Bruh i go to saizeria on dates just fine. She wasnt worth the time. Their pasta is good lmao
shame about the photobooth one, i hear that and my assumption is 'he thought she was cute enough without the filters' but i guess she didn't see it that way lol
I went to the restaurant Moe’s (in America) and there the staff says ‘Welcome to Moe’s’ pretty loudly. My friends and I were at one where the staff was not doing it every time and not very loudly. So we started saying it instead while seated and eating our food. No shame! Lol
to break up with someone because they sing bad wtf lol.
That batsu game outto sound made me laugh too
That last bit was an excellent plug but what did they say about Manarisu
They were surprisingly supportive! The thread I found was only from day 130 though. One of the comments was like "Wow, he has drive!"
i think one bad thing about Japanese culture is how women value men based on their income. of course this isnt all Japanese women but it seems to be a very common ideology. in the west its more common for women to date men based on personality and compatability.
Yeah seems really messed up tbh
Its like that everywhere or you got to be an ùnhingèd çràçkhéàd women love that just don't be a normal working or middle class guy.
This is why more and more Japanese men are living alone. Japan is generally considered to be a male-dominated society, but when it comes to relationships, it's totally different. Men pay for almost everything, and women demand higher income and even more educational background from men. If you look at matrimonial websites in Japan, it's pretty hellish. Men demand nothing from women but many women expect men to earn two to three times the average income, and many women will not marry a man who is not a doctor. And in the home, the wife controls almost all of her husband's income. Surprisingly, Japan has the highest proportion of wives controlling their husbands' income in the world. Marriage in Japan means that men lose almost all their freedom and work like slaves every day for their families. No wonder many Japanese men do not marry and live alone with such a situation.
@@belstar1128 nice guy tm
"in the west its more common for women to date men based on personality and compatability." what? a lot of people also just look for heigh, attractiveness and income in the west too
Great video! Can relate to that family restaurant story near the end there hah 🤪
Early gang, thanks for video!
breaking up with someone over some petty stuff like that show insecurity.
every singe one of them were petty examples.
Some of those were definitely good reasons
Maybe it’s the low income upbringing I had but the fact she got upset about the restaurant is dumb to me hell I find red lobster and Olive Garden the fancy restaurants for me
Yeah, honestly same here.
Though i'm guessing it had a lot to do with such a large age gap. She was basically dating a collage student, most us collage students are fuckin broke lmao
In high school, I was gonna ask this girl to homecoming and as I was approaching her from behind going down the stairs, I fell down literally when I was about to start talking and she saw me and then I def had no courage after that. So I just left it as is. We didn’t know each other well either so she prolly just glanced and was like “whatever”.
And as a senior, this big dude in my class yelled from the back when I was talk to the teacher, “he’s wearing a girl coat”. And everyone just laughed. Prolly doesn’t sound that bad but for someone who cares about how they look and dress, this was the last blow I needed before graduating
Hell yeah thanks for the video your awesome.
When I went to Japan I was saying Irashaimasei back to all the stores clerks thinking it just meant hello. 😅
3:08 this also happend to me too when a japanese girl said that to me rrally loud in college and people were looking at her and she got embarrassed
“The other day I was browsing GIRLS channel” not weird
I wish more people loved Saizeriya!
Girls channel needs to appear more
wish i could read japanese so I could read these all day
But Saizeriya has good food. Next they will be complaining about baimaiyan.
3:37 The no laugh games are genuinely some of my favorite media of all time. Take all the times I've ever cried laughing and GNT is responsible for at least 1/3rd. Go watch it
Can someone drop me a link or smth to see that no laughing comedy show? Also I do the thing where I wear trousers up to my chest like a chad
3:50 Did the sound then play again? XD
1:50 that reminds me of a time I was in a bus and I was looking at a polish cow meme and accidentally turned the volume up to max so everyone on the bus heard “Tylko jedno w głowie mam
Koksu pięć gram, odlecieć sam
W krainę zapomnienia
W głowie myśli mam
Kiedy skończy się ten stan”
Where the fuck am I suppose to sneeze? A doorknob?
If you're talking about 5:23 - he blew his nose, not sneezed.
Lol, 4pm-9pm i thought i could show up anytime between them hours.... That's great.😂😂😂😂
3:38
oh boi that sound. brings back memories :3
I always sneeze there too, how else am I supposed to stop the sneeze?
I have a similar story to 3:38 ‘s story. It actually happened to a friend of mine, but i was there to witness it.
We were both in our high school art class and it happened to be dead silent for a long time as we did our work. I guess my friend forgot to set their phone to silent because Suddenly out of the blue, my friend received a text notification at full volume. The best part was they had set the notification sound as Charjabug’s cry from Pokemon Sun and Moon. (Quick edit for context, this is what it sounds like: ua-cam.com/video/LYTZMjM9sLo/v-deo.htmlsi=nB94qnrW189gSBRN so imagine this noise breaking a long wave of concentrated silence)
Needless to say, the whole classroom heard and burst out laughing uncontrollably. The teacher was not happy.
Yooo 3:42 I immediately knew that was gaki no tsukai
tanaka, thai kick
This "dumb reasons for breaking up" feels me with anxiety about dating
I take my wife to Saizeriya almost weekly lol she loves it and gets all excited when I tell her we're going. Had no idea it was a meme lol.
8:16 my worst fear that's why I'm happy I use wireless
Isnt it perfectly normal to blow your nose into your sleeve? Cuz where else do you blow it? Your hand?
I don’t know man. That’s something kids do. I wouldn’t go on a date if I was sick.
bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh
they sell tissues for that bro, you know it right??
@@KOTEBANAROT nah that shit is inconvenient af
Can someone tell me the romaji/translated name of the show on 3:44 . I found the premise interesting.
ダウンタウンのガキの使いやあらへんで! 絶対に笑ってはいけない／罰ゲーム シリーズ
It's called "Downtown no Gaki no Tsukai ya Aarahende!!" It's a late night variety show that's been on the air since the '80s. The "No Laughing" challenges were a yearly special they did from 2003-2020. It has a large following outside of Japan, and many episodes have been subtitled. The websites Gaki Archives and ChikiChikiTube have most of the translated episodes.
Thanks for the replies, everyone!
to be fair, 22k usd per year isn't that much to go by, if he still needs to pay off his study loans, pay for rent, support his parents or maybe a sibling or two...
Me and my brother used to live in an apartment, and we didn't lock the door because it felt secure with the building's guard not allowing strangers to enter. One afternoon, I was playing on my Xbox 360, and my brother was on the PC in the living room. Suddenly, the main door of our unit opened, and a woman entered, talking on the phone. Unaware, she continued towards the stairs. As she reached the second floor, she realized it was the wrong unit, she hurried back down, and caught us staring at her wide eyes. She apologized profusely, and we couldn't help but laugh so fucking loud i think she hear us laughing outisde 😂 me and my brother was dying. worst part is that both of us is only wearing boxers xD idk if embarrassing for her or us.
Ok that guy who's wife were carrying both kids and luggage, such a cringy sigma grindset.
months ago, I went to the video of a site called italki. i was doing a section where i explained why japanese people don't make good friends and a weird japanese girl was answering me, who is from osaka. she explains that a number of Japanese people are attracted to foreigners. but she never explains how we could meet them. she made other answers, every time someone talks about a dating site, the girl said that it's not possible, that the Japanese avoid answers from foreigners... I didn't understand. I followed him on his channel recently to talk about his shades, but my comments aren't showing up. is it a cookie issue? I would like to talk about this with someone reasonable, who does not know me, without bad faith. this is not a troll, please can someone explain this girl's problem to me?
She blocked you. Japanese are racist and hates foreigners
Are you the same guy from the other video?
osaker 😳
@@ambi3nttech which one?
@@Windermedhuh?
I've always been interested the history of gyaru subculture seems interesting
I'm more embarrassed at the AI art then the stories. 😬
I feel bad for the girl who yelled the customer greeting out loud. I used to work at a burrito chain called Moe’s, and anytime anyone walked in you had to do some ridiculous LOUD animated “WELCOME TO MOOOOOE’S!!” Thing… and I did it so much I would be yelling it in my sleep, in my dreams that yell would interrupt everything… at parties I’d get a little tipsy and yell WELCOME TO MOESSS! anytime anyone walked in. Years after I moved on to other jobs and I still got that random Moe’s yell from friends lol.
We’d start saying crazy stuff too when all the other employees were yelling. They’d all say “WELCOME TO MOES!” and we’d take turns yelling stuff like “yo mamas a hoe!” Or whatever we could try and get away with lol
4:45 bro I that myself. I guess I will not be getting any Japanese girlfriend 😂
7:27 お前さん旧町田市民だったのか！おお、感動した！（左上見る・ビックカメラの名前みる前に場所分かったのは面白かったw）ゼルビアの里を離れた後でも元気でいてくれよな！
