Any Fukui stereotypes? That's where my wife is from.
Someone used American in the subs.
I wanna go to Osaka someday
Hey Yuta, I subscribed for your Japanese Speaking classes and almost immediately got sneaky emails asking me for my home address and phone number..(one of the emails even appeared as the US Postal Service, suggesting I needed to verify my personal info including home phone, in order to recieve a package. When I clicked on any of the page links I was taken to a secondary site for a Japanese Onsen Resort). If your selling our email addresses for your own benefit, well that just sucks Yuta. That just sucks because I have unsubbed from your emails as well as your channel. Great way to use our interest in another language and culture to abuse trust and make a little dough for yourself.......
This is one of the best videos you made! I really learned a lot. I had no idea the different regional differences of Japan. Please make more. Like Hiroshima. I am from United States and every time I think about Hiroshima I just get extremely sad.
yes that's right osaka people are so friendly like foreigner😆 I always wait when he say''if you wanna learn Japanese I will teach you ''🤣🤣
🤣😂 Same here😂🤣 He drops it in so smoothly you can't be mad at him for doing it😆 Hey Emi👋 It's cool to see you in the comments 💯☺️
I wouldn't generalize not all foreigners are necessarily going to be kind good-hearted and friendly, but i agree that people from Osaka seem kind or at least i hear that a lot. I have to say the quick ad at 4:15 was very clever though 😂
Iam visiting Osaka next ,i guess
I like Foreigner too. Jukebox Hero, I wanna know what love is, head games.
The last time I was in Osaka an old lady saw me sitting on a train on stand-by. I chose it since I like the idea of surely having a seat (I wasn't in any kind of rush anyway) and she was saying that it would be way faster if I just took the one on the other track since it was leaving sooner. Of course literally the second I got out of the train with her it left. We both stood there laughing out loud. One of my best experiences in Japan ever.
that elderly lady still gets that drunk? 😭 she's here for a good time not a long one
it probably takes like 3 sips
@@LoneMoon ion know man, sounds like she has years of experience 😂 she might not feel anything after a 5th of Patrón
thats how it should be shit if i was that old i be drinking too
Hey, she made it to that age, so maybe she's having a good, long time😂
She's actually 35. All that drinking's made her age a little before her time.
That elder gentleman being interviewed by himself must be a history teacher. He drops historical facts about the places mentioned.
either that or a history enthusiast
he sure knows a lot though
This uncle seems to be a history buff, but he may not have direct experiences in real life with those places and people he gave opinion.
Learned older Japanese man sitting at a park is a stereotype in itself.
I thought the same thing. Also the way he analyzed people's behaviour through the kind of language they use, gave me the impression that he's prolly a linguaphile.
He's so much like my father lol. I think there are lots of grandpas who are into history. The difference is this old man is way more concise than my father
Those old ladies were the highlight of the interviews
honorable mention to that dad in the purple shirt
when she slapped her friend on the back i lost it, so funny 😂
It's funny how purple dad's loud but friendly way of speaking fits the Osaka stereotype perfectly.
@@NovaHessia so osakans are secretely americans? I mean theyre known for being more outgoing than like a brit, but as a drawback everyone in a 50 metre radius can hear what said american is saying
Yes! They were great xD I like how honest the one lady was about drinking 😂
10:27 that ojisan in purple, it's obvious he is from osaka, his talking gestures are so animated, his intonations are dramatic and lively! very cute ojisan!
he man in the violet shirt is a typical osaka stereotype i thin it must be fun to talk with him you can see he is friendly energic and talklative
yeah he was animated like craaazy, i felt like his wife had to dodge his hands a few times 😂
@@Nightcrawl7 is that his wife?idk why i feel like the man is in 55+ and the girl is still on late 20/early 30
I dated (long distance) a gentleman from Osaka. He's very kind and honest but never offensive. I love his smile and sweet broken english. Sadly he has to end it because he won't be able to come to my country and pursue his plans with me because of the pandemic. I still like him though and miss him everyday. Still i wish him all the best and praying he'll be wise in keeping safe from virus ☺🙏💕
Itaas mo bandera ng bansa natin mamii HAHAHAHA
I live in Tokyo but I just got back from spending a decent amount of time in Sendai…. And I really see how cold and sometimes awkward people in Tokyo are now… in Sendai I kept thinking “wow its like I am actually interacting with actual people…” Osaka was the same… people were actually… people… and would laugh with and talk with anyone.
Jesus, I love the Osaka couple! They're so lively and animated when they speak. I'm sure it would be fun to grab a beer with them especially the dad with glasses!! 😂
Everyone has already said this but I love the man in the purple jumper, he seems like a fun guy to talk to!
The fascinating thing is that Kyoto, Kobe, and Osaka are essentially the same metro region... I think they have more in common with each other than they're willing to admit. Kyoto gets the reputation for being snobby... and Nara being even more snobby. This is normal, given that Kyoto is such a popular destination, while Osaka is clearly the financial centre. It's a good balance.
I'll have to disagree here. I lived in Kyoto for 5 months (uni exchange) and I LOVED going to Osaka. People there are like a breath of fresh air compared to people from Kyoto. I am Latina so I felt more at home in Osaka and most if not all the Japanese friends I made along the way were from Osaka. I am sure people from Kyoto can be nice and fun, but it takes so long to peel back the layers that I just did not have the time to become friends with them.
An interview from someone from Tsushima!!!! AWESOME!!!!
Yeah, just played that game recently
Considering nobody talked about anywhere in the Chuubu region, I'm going to guess that the stereotype there is that there's nothing to say.
They definitely have their own vibe too. I've been there before, and I'd say it's something between how Osaka and Tokyo people act. Not sure if the geography affects it because it's physically like that, or if I'm just drawing a little bit of a conclusion, but I did hear one other Japanese woman say the same thing
If anything they have some japanese history that predates the heian era
@@MarketWizard546 I don't understand what you're talking about. Something what osaka and tokyo people act? What act? What is happening here.
Osaka seems like the place I would be used to living in, but Nagasaki seems like the place I would want to live in.
The people interviewed are all so nice
I really enjoyed everyone you interviewed. I think I would get along best with people from Osaka. It’s nice to have all these destinations to visit other than just saying “I want to see Japan”. Great video Yuta!
15:15 haha, her image of okinawans sounds like Filipinos XD there's a concept of "Filipino Time" and everyone knows events "officially" start later than planned
It might have something to do with our spanish heritage I wonder (? From my experience in Spain and pretty much all latin america we share the same concept of time.
“People from osaka are funny”
The guy with purple sweater starts talking: “i am from osaka”
“Ok, now i get it”
Wow! These were such great interviews. Very interesting and different personalities. This is one of my favorite videos of you.
okinawan time sounds lime mexican time here
Jaja pues mas o menos. Tampoco en el sur de Kyushu nadie llega al tiempo
😂
11:10 Lol, Ōsaka is also huge. It´s the first Japanese city I visited and, coming from Europe, I remember being blown away by the amount of buildings, lights and people. Tokyo of course doubles that, still I didn´t notice such a big difference in the small amount of time I spent there.
大阪で取材しただけあって幅広くバランスの取れたインタビューになってますね。関東人だから意識したことなかったけど、たしかに関西人からしたら東北って行きづらい場所なんだなぁ
Anything nice about TOHOKU..?😅 People in Tohoku are shy, and don't express our feeling much, so they're often mistaken.
Over 90 % of tourists don't go to Tohoku, there're lots of hidden treasures😊
I thought it's the opposite, very few go to Kyoto, and instead go to Kyushuu and TOHOKU. Maybe it's just British tourists?
@@magnuscritikaleak5045 nah kyoto is the typical tourist city with all the temples, attractions, and food people look for
if you ask most people what cities/regions of japan they're familiar with, most of the time you'll get tokyo, kyoto/osaka, etc, but nobody's gonna say something like sendai (at least not first)
伊達 政宗 だ! 大坂で 3 年 滞在した 経験 が あります...日本史を勉強 して はったん です われ
@@adrieleje851 Yeah, that's true. It's not popular for travellers. They skip Tohoku, and Tohoku people are not good at promoting ourselves😅
@@magnuscritikaleak5045 Oh, i didn't know it's popular for British people. 😳 Maybe because of Chris from Abroad Japan? 🤔I'm from Sendai, and I appreciate him (and friends) promote Tohoku😊
Kyushu (warm and kind people) and Okinawa (laid back people) sound particularly nice to me, especially if I factor in the nice and warm southern weather in those places.
@Phoenix 𝙾𝚙𝚎𝚗 𝙼𝚢 PROFILE I said Kyushu and Okinawa, not Osaka, but ok. 😛
This was one of the most fun videos on your channel, at least for me. It shows that people are people, everywhere :) Thanks!
An inspiring video. I visited Kyoto and Osaka back in 2011 and your videos make me miss Japan so much!
Why I love your videos. You show everyday Japanese people of all types with focus on interesting personalities. You are an out-going extrovert Japanese too. Very likable. Anyway, as a Belgian who moved to the Netherlands even a very similar neighboring country is an adaptation. But we also live in a world where we can connect to very different cultures like the Japanese on the other end of the globe. An interesting insular culture of a large size and impact too. I keep coming back to your channel so keep up the good work!
Nagoya is always forgotten 😔 Would love to see this interview again with other areas and people from different cities!
Nagoya.. What's famous there?
I love the energy the people being interviewed have. They seem to have lots of fun lol
I always feel instinctively queasy whenever the topic of (stereotyped) mannerisms based on region comes up because I feel virtually everything about people differs on an individual basis, but thinking about it I guess where you're brought up can also have its own effect on your mannerisms
If i go to Japan I've already decided that I want to visit Osaka and Okinawa! I do find that people from Osaka are humourous and they seem very laid back (the comedians from Downtown are from Osaka right. I use to watch some of their sets with a friend of mines). But I'd visit Okinawa because I'd like to see a beach with beautiful blue water. I've only seen photos so it's not the same.
this is the earliest i've ever been to a vid since 2011
@Phoenix 𝙾𝚙𝚎𝚗 𝙼𝚢 PROFILE *sniff sniff* i hope you two are doing alright
This was really interesting and fun to watch.
A woman who was helping me while I was in Japan said that a general stereotype many people may have is that people from the south are more openly friendly, like the warmer weather, while people in the north might be a little more reserved, like the cold weather. I think this was an interesting stereotype, which probably "applies" to lots of countries.
The most random, organic conversation I had while I had the opportunity to be in Japan was with some young men in Osaka. I was sitting with a drink outside of a convenience store one evening, and a small group of friends also had bought drinks and sat down with theirs near me. The one guy out of the group who could speak the most English (since I don't have a good grasp on real life Japanese that Japanese people actually speak ;) ) asked where I was from, what I was doing, elaborated on his experiences in different parts of Japan, etc. I figure they were possibly late-high school to college age. It was a super casual and comfortable conversation, and even though it was a short interaction, it really sticks out to me positively from my time in Japan ☺️
I also had a couple of conversations of various length with Japanese strangers in Kyoto, but they felt less casually random than the one in Osaka: one was with a cafe owner whose cafe I kept returning to (he had lived and worked in England for some time, so we were able to have a more thoughtful and abstract conversation - he actually shared with me similar opinions about people in Kyoto as some had in this video, particularly the young man in white, and the woman in the headscarf - sometimes they're quite and calm on the outside, but can be rigid, or cold-seeming). The other conversation in Kyoto was a _very_ short one, albeit it was also super friendly, with the mother of a family who was staying at the same hostel as me in Kyoto. She heard my roommates and I talking about what to do there, so she shared some ideas about fun things to do. I forget exactly where they were from, but they made me think "dang... if I have kids and a family, I want to take them to hostels on vacations so they can meet and talk to many kinds of people - what a great idea!"
Nobody have comment or stereotype of people from 4 prefectures in Shikoku!!! How come?? I'm really curious to know what Japanese think about their fellow Shikoku people.🤔
9:12 ghost of tsushima
Awaiting the cringe interview with Sora the troll lol
Great video Yuta, interesting to see the differences between different areas in Japan
when I think of Osaka, I think of Goro Majima
When I think of Osaka, I think of Azumanga Daioh.
Somebody from Tshushima!!! I wonder if they know how famous the island has become with the Ghost of Thushima PS game!!!! Sorry, got a bit excited there, but was my personal Game of the Year 2020.
It was great seeing you on @Sora the Troll’s livestream earlier! I hope one day you both can make a collab video, I enjoy watching both of you.
IKR I HOPE SO TOO!!
@Phoenix 𝙾𝚙𝚎𝚗 𝙼𝚢 PROFILE uh k what does this have to do with this comment? .... Creep
@@Strawberrygyuuu well i dont see them anymore so... Yay :D
This was kind very interesting, thanks Yuta! xDD
Really cool to see interviews from people outside of Tokyo.
I lived in Saga in Kyuushuu, and I liked it a lot better than Tokyo, even as a teen. People are less stressed out, and the quality of life is better. Fukuoka is probably one of my favourite cities in Japan, too - and the locals are supposed to be really good looking for some reason (Hakata Bijin)
Do you live other japanese prefecture before like the mie prefecture ?
Did anyone else notice the person in the background getting attacked by the goose at 2:34
Osaka seems like where it's at.
I'm moving to Ehime in a month so I'm slightly disappointed (though not surprised) to not hear anyone say anything about Shikoku 🤣🤣🤣
Shikoku was a remote island until the modern era, and I think the people are basically laid back like Kyushu. I found out that even within Ehime, the northern part near the bridge is more commercial, the central part with Matsuyama Castle is more cultural, and the southern part is more tropical. I hope this is helpful to you.
The old ladies seem open. Especially the right one.
Veeeery interesting. Gotta watch it one more time😬.
Giving us the option to turn off the subs would make it easier to watch the video and learn Japanese at the same time
There are so many prefectures! I didn't know about them.
I really like the guy in the purple sweater.
6:08 Wise Japanese Ladies are my favourite in all your episodes! So cultured but they always give the best most comprehensive answers.
+The wise old guys who have random Meiji area knowledge. They make me so happy.
such informative, thanks Yuta
Konbanwa, Yuta-san!
I have been watching your videos for a long time now and I was wondering if you could make a video related to Japan and disabilities (preferably autism) because I would be very interested in this.
Arigatou gozaimasu! ☺
来年に長崎県に引っ越すので、そういうのイメージがあると聞いて安心しました☺️。ちなみに、ゆたさんが長崎弁の特徴についての動画を出してくれたら、本当にありがたいです！動画ありがとうございます。
So people from Kyoto are pretty much high elves?
It makes sense. It was the old capital of Japan for a very long time and still maintains a lot of the tradition, so they would be very high brow. Let's ask Shogo -Your Japanese friend in Kyoto, a UA-camr, states that many Japanese don't like Kyoto people because of these qualities.
I bought chicken on stick from a street vendor and i sat down to eat with my legs crossed kind of yoga position , he got so mad and came to me and movedvmy legs down in more formal position . That was my only bad experience in 3 weeks trip in japan
My boss is from Osaka, he's not super funny, but a great guy at work, he thinks my hentai shirts are hilarious, and points and laughs at me, lmao.
Best part is he comes to the skatepark sometimes, it's how I met him and got a job,
Everyone at work never expected that he skates xD they just thought he was an older Japanese man.
Edit: he also tells me I would probably like people in Osaka better than tokyo, but I feel like tokyo has more hobby stuff to do, like. skating and arcades and, girls o3o lmao
Based on their characterizations, as an American, I think I would probably like to visit (live?) in Osaka. The people there were described as honest and straightforward, and I appreciate those qualities even though I don't like loud too much. I wished they covered Sendai though.
I used to have an okinawan coworker, he fits the description pretty well haha
I was came from Chiba Japan is very good place and some people like Noodle and tv .
When will the you release the video where you met Sora :)
To summarize
Osaka=funny
Kyoto=arrogant and pretentious
Tokyo=chill and advanced
Kyushu= Kind
Okinawa=party, beaches, carefree
Tohoku=angry
1:06 gave me some Yakuza 0 flashbacks lmao
What was going on in the background at 2:34? 😂
I'm moving to Northeast Hokkaido next month! Hope to enjoy
Haha this is why I want to learn 大阪弁
yuta please do a video about japan's royal family!!
Thank you ♥️💋
You cal easily tell that family is from oosaka!! The way they talk !!
東北ないんかーい！ｗ
EDIT: あったけどほとんど悪口で草
東北人は排外的なイメージあるなぁ。その分、仲良くなったら長く続きそうだし、約束とか比較的守ってくれそう。大阪人とは正反対、大阪出身の友達数人はわりとルーズ
Awesome!
Just wanted to chip in Stereotype is everywhere. P.S however, OSaka has the best quality sea food (cuisines etc)
The Okinawa stereotype is quite funny and what grandpa said that it is a foreign country is true. If you see a native Okinawan they look like Filipinos it is one of the reasons why Filipinos can blend physically in japan and marry japanese easier than non east asian people
Okinawans (and Ainu) are a different race/ethnicity than most Japanese
@@havokmusicinc yeah but even so, japanese people accept them as one of them so people who look like them are not giving high level of presence threat to japanese people in japan
Except Okinawans are genetically the closest to mainland Japanese. They're basically mainland Japanese with higher amounts of Jomon ancestry. Koreans and Chinese are genetically closer to Okinawans than Filipinos are.
@@mfreak1126 the one closer to filipino are not the okinawans but the hayato and azumi people and kumaso.
@@s2oop436 Who said Okinawans are close to Filipinos? Read books to improve your reading comprehension.
the first girl interviewed looks like Su Metal
No mention of Shikoku
Because we dont care
@@compashinpei give this man an Oscar!
3:14 I know how this feels as a person from Canary Islands, Spain :'))
4:14 Well played Yuta
Excellent, I now have a clear path to my dream of talking with random Japanese people. Step 1: learn Japanese with Yuta
3:18 Yeri? Is that you?
Hi.
Well yes that's true, people from the country sides usually are more laid back. They enjoy life more, so why be in a hurry? I sure enough don't think they are irresponsible, they just aren't doing things to impress most other's.
このような地域性のイメージというのは個人差はあれどその人の中で事実思い浮かんでいるという意味ではそれぞれが真実であると言える。
そこはいいのだが、この動画において回答している人たちは概ね関西人(or現況関西在住人)だったり取材地が関西の某所(おそらく大阪かと思われるが詳しくないので断言はしない)である。
そこで、ここで語られているそれぞれのイメージ群というのは、この関西人(もしくは現況関西在住人)が思うところのどこどこの場所のイメージというものである。
私が思うのは、それぞれ自由に偏見なり決め付けなりイメージがあっても結構であるが、とある1つの地点からの見方、もしくは見え方だけを紹介するのは如何なものとかということである。
例えば、この動画ではまずは主な対象として、大阪、京都、東京が取り沙汰されたが、それらは関西人や現況関西在住人が思うところのそれぞれのイメージである。同じ質問を東北や九州といった取材地で実施すると、(この動画と同じような内容の回答もあるだろうが)また違った回答が見られることは想像に易い。
つまり、ここで便宜上地域を北海道、東北、北陸、関東、中部、関西、中国、四国、九州、沖縄と分けた場合、北海道の人が思うところの北海道のイメージ、北海道の人が思うところの東北のイメージ、北海道の人が思うところの北陸のイメージ、北海道の人が思うところの関東のイメージ、北海道の人が思うところの中部のイメージ、北海道の人が思うところの関西のイメージ、北海道の人が思うところの中国(当然中国地方のことである)のイメージ、北海道の人が思うところの九州のイメージ、北海道の人が思うところの沖縄のイメージというのがあり、それらは東北の人が思うところの～、北陸の人が思うところの～、関東の人が思うところの～、(以下略)とまたそれぞれが異なった回答が出てくるはずである。
とこのように、それぞれの生まれ育った、もしくは住んでいる地域によってとある場所に対する見方、見え方というのは異なってくるのであるのだが、この動画ではそのほんの一片に過ぎない関西の地からに於ける見方、見え方しか紹介していない。
それ自体は構わないが、殊外国人向けにこのようなタイトルを銘記していると日本人は全体的に総意としてこのようにそれぞれの地域を見ているというふうに捉えられてしまうだろう。
そういった片寄りを無くすには、1つには関西という地だけではなく日本各地において同様の取材を行うか、もしくは取材地は関西であるとどこかしらに銘記するしかない。
今回の動画に限らないのだが、最近のこのチャンネルのインタビュー形式の動画は取材地が関西であることが非常に多い。おそらくユータチームなる運営メンバーが関西在住が主だったりなどの事情があるかと思われてそれ自体はさして構わないが、なにかしら註釈などがあってもいいのではないかと思うことがある。
9:15 I've already been there.. in GHOST OF TSUSHIMA....! or not..
はあ。。うっそーです。PC master race です！
The second person spoke at 2x speed, hot damn.
it seems like stereotypes are usually true around 50% of the time
some of these remind me of the stereotypes that we have here in america for people in the southern states. they call it "southern hospitality" where everybody down south is supposed to be nice, kind and willing to be of service and help visitors or travelers.
What about Hokkaido?????? :(((
Kansai and kyushu people are like koreans , friendly,approachable and frank...
People from Osaka are funny.
8:34-
"I think they sell all kinds of different Korean products"
Very much off-topic...But the relationship that Chinese,Koreans and Japanese have with each other(despite the...history between the three nations) imo just makes no sense to me(and has been the cause of many a headache.)
I guess I can understand better if there's sentient life in the universe better than the relationship that Chinese,Koreans and Japanese have towards each other...
The world is so damn hard to understand, but I digress...
While this is true of all countries to one extent or another, Japan seems particularly bad in not giving a full historical education regarding the 'relations' between Japan and other Asian countries. This leads to many Japanese having no idea about the basis of Korean/Chinese/etc. grievances against Japan, which makes them extra defensive when those grievances are aired because they consider them to be irrational or exaggerated.
Aside from these barbs, Japanese youth don't have any reason to be antagonistic or condescending to Korea so they are amenable to influence by Korean pop culture. Same thing happens in reverse. Unless culture keeps historical grievances and prejudices alive through the generations, or there are material conditions to stimulate them anew, modern societies will naturally want to get along (cultural exchange, etc.).
Being from Kansai region in Japan is like being from Bihar-Jharkhand in India 😂😂
Isn't that Pradesh??
@@magnuscritikaleak5045 Yeah... People from Eastern Uttar Pradesh also (along with Bihar-Jharkhand) speak in strong Dialect
Japan is so small compared to other world countries, but it almost seems as if japan is like its own little world.
The two older ladies remind me of the older ladies in my hometown lol. And the description of people from Okinawa gave me the same feeling of islanders here xD
I’m curious about what people have to say about Toyama. That’s where my great-grandfather was from. I never met him, and have never traveled there myself, so I know very little about it.
Wish i can visit Japan sometime :( ... but its so expensive to get there, would be like at least 3 months salary T.T Was already thinking that if i go, i wouldn't go to tokyo, since i like the people outside of tokyo more :D also.. food is better in non turistic spots.
Ara ara
Asa
Ora ora
Yare yare
So,moral of the story:Tokyo is overrated?
Tokyo is absolutely not overrated, I go there everytime I'm in japan and always have great time. In all countries people from other parts of the country all dislike the capital for some reason
People are not real cold heart and not so nice .
I have never hear any stereotypes about my region/ town Hida, Gifu prefecture.
So if here are other Japanese people (or foreigners) please let me know what stereotypes you have or hear about Hida
The woman with a headscarf seems to have an interesting life omg
