Speaking from the experience of having lived in Kyoto for year, there are SOME Japanese who just get super whack when interacting with foreigners. Like I was walking by the uni-campus with a German friend (like me) and they immediately assumed we were american (which I don't mind) but went like "Yo wass'up, gimme high five" or whatever like we were his homies from the 90s and we didn't know these guys at all. And you just wonder, what made them think that this was culturally appropriate at all, if you don't know anybody and don't know where they're from. There wasn't a ton of these encounters but it was always a bit fun to play with expectations. Like they never assumed you could speak Japanese. So a couple of girls would come up to us and say something in English and we'd just answer in Japanese with "sorry, actually don't speak English." But some interactions would just be REALLY taxing. You could talk to people IN JAPANESE and they would answer in really bad engrish that .... they .... don't speak English. YEAH I THOUGHT SO. THATS WHY I AM TALKING TO YOU IN YOUR OWN LANGUAGE.

Technically since Y3, there's some fully voiced substories(YK1 and YK2 also updated some of them with voices too), but only Y6 has *ALL* the substories voiced.

0:54 OH THANK YOU
*STILL DOESN’T KNOW WHERE STATION IS
BUSHIT *getting directions in a nutshell*
Legit I've experienced that too lmao
*I have no idea what he’s trying to say
OK THANK YOU
-Go straight-o
-And-o turn right-o
-Go go go, go your way!
-Believe in yourself!
Finally found what he's saying.
I feel like these games engine is not made to render Caucasian characters , just looking at Stephen Spinning™ gave me nightmares.
I was thinking "That's the most Asian white guy I've ever seen"
@@justmarc2015 Finnish people hahaha
Steven Spielberg 😂
He looks like typical westerners in the eyes of Asians
Kinda interesting This look absurd in your eyes 😆

"GO! GO! GO! BELIEVE IN YOURSELF"
That's what i'm going to say from now on to everyone who asks me for directions
Can someone translate this, I can understand what the blonde one says so I'll translate that. He says: "can you tell me how get to the station" and "no" and "oh all right, thank you"
"GO SUTOREITO ANDO TUN RIGHTO, GO GO GO"
@@puffpuffpassmako He doesn't say 'I get it' he say 'English huh'
then he says 'I don't want what you are selling' (literally: as for (your) persuasion/solicitation, no thanks/I'm good)
Translation:
"Hm?"
"What'd you say?"
"Ho ho, English huh?"
"No salesmen!"
"Look, I told you no salesmen!"
"Ah, I speak English. It seems you haven't been studying enough..."
I admit this is something I want to see more of in the series, interacting with foreigners. Saw a bit of it in Yakuza 0 with that Mafia guy.
Don’t forget the pizza substory
what about the "Michael Jackson" and "Steven Spielberg" in Yakuza 0?

I haven't made it that far yet, can't wait!
@@Zonedoutallthetime
Ah, true, I dunno how I forgot about them.
And the dart one in 6
i am surprised that auto caption almost got everything what the glasses guy said
0:27 his reaction implies that he understands Japanese, yet he’s still asking questions in English
Sinful_Intent People tend to understand some languages better then they can speak it because of pronounciation
I mean, Ichiban clearly took a more aggressive tone out of seemingly nowhere. It makes sense to sorta backpedal.
If you ask someone for directions and they begin yelling aggressively, I’d assume they didn’t understand me
I understand english, and can even type in english, but I can't speak it.
It's not uncommon.
@@Mari_Izu wack
"Can you tell me how to get to the station?"
"H e y s w e e t c h e e k s :)"
i love how he suddenly starts screaming while speaking english
I started laughing when he did that
wtf
When are you getting the Kiryu haircut?
woah didn't know you're here
Sora makes an unexpected appearance
Hello weeb
We need to know the reason for his appearance.
I need a man like this to escort me with my daily life and just keep motivating me in broken English
Go straight.
And turn left.
Go go go! Go your own way.
Believe yourself.
You are welcome.
This is pretty much how I've always envisioned my first trip to Japan would go. I'd lose my phrase book and get lost downtown in a major city where everybody thinks I'm trying to sell them something until an overly enthusiastic but well meaning man shouts at me in broken English to go away and believe in myself.
Yakuza has voice acting for the sub stories now?
*This I like.*
Well, I think Yakuza 6 also had voice-acted substories. Hell, even the Amon one had voices too.
@@kowalski4198 Tbh, I can't remember. It's been a while since I've played Yakuza 6.
Yeah Yakuza 6 was the first to feature fully dubbed substories.
Technically since Y3, there's some fully voiced substories(YK1 and YK2 also updated some of them with voices too), but only Y6 has *ALL* the substories voiced.
Wait so this game also have a full voice for all the subs? OMFG!!!!
That was amazing, I'll have wonderful dreams tonight
YOU ARE WELCOOOOOOME!
Yakuza 3: Kiryu and Andre having a conversation without any problems.
Yakuza 7: "C A N Y O U T E L L M E H O W T O G E T T O T H E S T A T I O N ?"
Wow, I never felt so awesome for running to the station! The Japanese positive energy is a whole another level
This is one of those videos that the algorithm throws in everyone’s feed 8 years later
Might be happening right now, almost two years later. :D
I wish every bystander was this MOTIVATING!
To explain the joke more, this is one of the classic sample conversation they have japanese students practice in english class. The guy who shows up is a super stereotypical english class nerd who has been waiting his whole life for someone to walk down the street and say "can you tell me how to get to the station?"
This video is something amazing for me, somehow this video itself made me get yakuza 0 and fall in love, I must thank you devilleon7
Happy to be of service, enjoy your stay with the series :)
Man, I’d be creeped out if he told me the way.
But it does make sense to some extent, Japanese have this sense of pride when they pull off English.
Hell, if my first language was from any country in Asia, I'd be proud to pull of English too. It's a confusing language when you think about it. Gotta say though, I'd much rather have that guy tell me than have Ichi, a former Yakuza, yelling at me where I can't understand him
its supposed to sound creepy/weird. the joke is that the guy doesn't really speak english that well himself.
@@irurwurst told him how to get the station, right?
Why would you be creeped out though??
@@kamikaze4172 inglish is wird from eny foreign perspective enyweys, laik, _the wey they wrait,_ half or mor of it's words are of Latin origin iven thoug it's germanic, haw they copīd some french words raight from script and started pronauncing them ther own wey, they teik grīk lonwords but latinaiz almost all of them even if they're perfectly pronaunseble...
The "believe in yourself" still makes me cry
The foreign guy repeating his question in exactly the same way instead of simplifying the language. What a genius.
Dude just wanted directions but got an inspirational speech
This has to one of the funniest scenes in the series now, along with Andre Richardoson from Yakuza 3
Now that's Shenmue dubbing at it's finest!
Shenmue dubbing? You mean the new Shenmue right? I remember two being real stale
I see
Mike Henny But its voice acting is pure gold
@@ceddymango I didn't make it far in the second one
Mike Henny Ah I see
I kinda like how I'm perceiving this from the opposite perspective of the Japanese speaking audience
I love how in the Japanese version he talks normally and in the English version he is shouting it.
This is the creepiest NPC in whole Yakuza series
Can't wait for the English translation, so I can understand what they are saying
Or you can just use google translate app. It can translate right on screen
Heru Setiawan oh... dude...
@@herusetiawan5399 Google Translate doesn't always get it right, that's the problem
@@kamikaze4172 it's better than nothing. And since I, at least have a little knowing of Japanese language, getting help from translator app is really helpful. For understanding this scene, it's enough
@@herusetiawan5399 I'll take your word for it
"Good Richardson doesn't exist. He will hurt you."
*Good Richardson :*
Some say he is still believing to this day.
HAMBURGER COUNTRY!!! NICE! NICE! NICE! NICE!
He waited his entire life for this moment
Two things,
1. Why was I reccomended this?
2. Thank you
3. YOU ARE WELCOMMMMEE
Now you know how to get to the station.
@@Bartooc GO GO YOU ARE LATE
I keep watching this. This video is important.
This video is motivational fuel on the levels of "NEVER GIVE UP". It is an exciting ode to the enthusiasm of the common man and portrays a longing of a supportive friend almost screaming in your ear that you can do it. A pipe dream. But a good one. Thank you.
I think all directions should end in “GO! GO! GO! go your way! BELIEVE IN YOURSELF!”
0:17 You're approaching me? instead of running away you're coming right to me?
"Ohhh! Right! I gotcha! Thanks!"
*didn't understand a word but walks off anyway*
ichiban:What?
foriegn: *C A N Y O U T E L L M E H O W T O G E T T O T H E S T A T I O N*
This’ that kid from polar express all grown up
Went to Tokyo last year, this is exactly how it is, trust me I never did find the station.
"Go straighto ando turn righto. gogogo go (yawee?) Believe in yourself!"
"YOU ARE WELCOOOME"
Close enough. Yawee is actually 'away'
your way
0:17 I seriously thought he was going to say "You're approaching me?"
I can't beat the shit out of you without getting closer.
I can't ask you where the train station is without getting closer.
took me a while to understand that he was speaking english there
I just got through that part and I was laughing hard! Of all my times when I was visiting Japan 3 times recently. That’s basically what we foreigners do to them! I love it can’t wait so see this dialogue in ENG version!
0:46 *immediately buys the game*
"Can you tell me how to get to Big-Camera?" (Big-Camera is one of the biggest home appliance shop in Japan, and they often sell videogames as well.)
@@sonoda944 go straightu, turn rightu. Go, go berieve yourself
A very natural reaction
