This video is Part 1 of "What Asians think of America" series. We appreciate that a lot of you are wondering about perspectives from other Asian countries and we are in the process of expanding our coverage as fast as we can. The fact is that we are a small team based in South Korea and Japan and it will take time for us to expand to other Asian countries. So if you are interested in volunteering as our reporter from other Asian countries in the meantime, get in touch with us at askasianboss@gmail.com and we can work something out. Thanks for watching, everybody!
What kinda saddens me is that even channels like this - where social understanding is the core feature - people still use America to designate USA. America is a continent and its name should stand for all the 35 countries that are part of it. The word 'America' should be designated just as 'Europe' is. I guess using America that way socially is ok, but when you want to have a conversation about social understanding, changing this habit seems to be a nice first step.
Because you are stupid people...brainwashed and don't question...when the most widely used religion relates the worst place to go to is Hell...and you use it in greetings like Hello...Help...Health... You have no idea what your language ( spells ) do to your spirit/energy/soul/brain...because even though you are not aware of it...Your brain knows everything and regardless of intent it is desensitizing you to all negative evils that are here now. So you won't get offended when they rule you
You have to understand that social interaction convention requires them to say the thing that it appears correct, not accurate in any situation. How can I appear polite and serious? How can I avoid conflict?
They also say they are respectful with their words only because it's considered polite, so we may never know how they (or anyone) feels about anything!
Hi Jack half love it and will start singing the national anthem and start waving a flag the others will beat you with sticks and say they're gonna burn it all to the ground. the sad thing? so little middle ground. either they're 100% for or against their country.
@Robert Joasilus: Asian Americans exist, so that conversation can still be had. It would also be interesting to hear topics from Asian minorities in other places like in Europe, Australia, South America, etc, and then have them compared to Asians in Asia.
it's funny that hamburger is not even an american invention. hell it was even renamed to liberty sandwiches during ww2 so it wouldn't be associated with germany
David Hutchins They're definitely taught about it, but things change over time. The world isn't the same as it was 70 years ago. Currently the U.S and Japan (much of Okinawa wants the U.S military gone, but still) are on pretty good terms for what it's worth.
I hate America I will never forget the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. We will not forgive the United States for stealing Japanese assets and forcing Japan to go to war. In addition, Japan stole all Japanese technology and companies, and after losing the war, Japan could not build a large aircraft due to the pressure of the United States. In addition, the os software tron, which was superior to windows, was also crushed by the pressure of the United States. Japan's gdp was also improving, but the Japanese post office, which had the largest amount of money in the world, had more money than the American city bank. I stole more money. Japan's gdp was held by Japanese as much as 18% of the world. It was all ruined by America. In addition, the High Frequency Active Aurora Research Program (HAARP) has so far been considered a system intended for peaceful use. However, HAARP was an earthquake weapon intended for "military use"! Furthermore, the unprecedented earthquake that struck eastern Japan on 3/11 was caused by HAARP. don't let America. Beware of America's Wickedness
*_"They really like to invade your personal space"_* Speaking of invading your space, the packing in of passengers on subways like they do in Japan would definitely not fly in the States, you'd have brawls on a daily basis.
@@happyhappy-po6fm it never happens here, but people really do not like being close to each other especially in the subways as i mentioned the wrongs with them and the fact our crime rate is higher
@@mellamojeff458 NY subways really aren't that bad anymore, from my experience. They've cleaned up a lot in the past few years tbh. Obviously some stations are better than others(downtown), but generally they really aren't that bad
anon anon I like reading people's opinions. Since this video is about the USA, it'd be more interesting to read Americans' opinions about their responses. I'm not from America therefore, I cannot contribute much here.
They have the greatest relationship. American never gift nuke bomb to other countries.(🇯🇵this is the pie chart of countries received nuke bomb as a GiFt)
I've been to Japan once. A little over a week, which of course I understand is nothing. However, the country impresses the hell out of me. High functioning society. Seemingly everything done to perfection with the utmost mindfulness and care. Everyone is friendly and quite polite. I love Japan and I love the Japanese people. One day I will go back. Long live Japan!
@Dan Man but that was like 70 years ago that doesnt mean every japanese people is like that. if u think that what people did in 20th century is bad that means all americans r bad right?
Dan Man bro... you’re acting like they still follow Bushido the samurai era is over they’ve changed in 100 or so years they aren’t imperial japan anymore
@Dan Man We have statues of people like Christopher Colombus in the U.S, celebrating him for blind reasons, when he was a right douchebag in his era (regardless of how different the times are), and who actually didn't "discover" America, and came here by accident. But yeah America can look up to/celebrate a bad guy from history but another country can't? Sounds like you should actually VISIT Japan instead of just reading about their history/culture and deciding that the people in general are still like they were before. To just assume that every single person in Japan is racist is what's actually unthinkable. If they do deny parts of their history, thats on them. America denies parts of its history too. So do other countries. It sounds like you like dwelling in the past. Its the 21st century and guess what my friend, the world is moving on. Maybe a lot of the world's population does still dwell in the past. Good for them.
It's about time America starts thinking about its self and its people ahead of other parts of the world! Thanks to President Trump we are. I guess its okay for other countries to do that but not the U.S. .....😒
Trump isn’t the problem which I thought was funny. USA gives too much to other countries. It would be good to be more isolationist, like how Japan is isolationist in terms of immigration. It’s not a bad thing.
@@ChristianTaylor3 But, Japan has a ton of systemic and economic problems because they are so isolationist. They are also aware of this and making an effort, however slow, to change that and open up.
nickkuroshi0 Of course. Japan has its own issues to deal with. My point is that the US gives too much to other countries who don’t care about us and yet we are judged. We also are too easy with people coming here illegally. Most of the world doesn’t understand that. This is why Trump isn’t an issue; he understands that we can’t just let everyone in willy nilly which is exactly how Japan is.
@@ChristianTaylor3 Japan literally compromised its own economy to save the US dollar. Look up the Plaza Accord of 1985. Japan went into a financial crisis as a result of helping the US economy. US immigration is also pretty broken and needs reform, which is the main reason our immigration problems are exacerbated. It's not that we are too easy on immigrants, we treat them inconsistently, a big factor being immigration wait times.

Not 'nonsense' at all. Many eating competitions are won by skinny Asians like Takeru Kobayashi or Sonya Thomas (South Korean born U.S. citizen) and others. (Google is your friend)
I visited Japan right after Hong Kong and quickly realized. The Chinese are completely different than the Japanese despite both being asian. In my opinion Japanese people are tied with only Filipinos on friendliness. It’s strange at first as an American cause when someone is being overly nice in America, it’s because they want something out of you. Japanese and Filipinos are genuinely wanting to be your friend, even if you are a stranger!
There's a huge difference between Japan and China. I think because China's population is so crowded that there's a "everyone for themselves" type of mentality. Japan is also extremely innovative while China "borrows" a lot of intellectual properties. Because it's China, there's pretty much nothing that can be done about it either. The Chinese people are great, but the CCP is a problem. You never hear about Japanese spies or extreme censorship.
I lived in japan for 2 years while in the Air Force and I loved it!! I would love to live there. It has a rich culture of respect, honor, beauty. The Japanese are a beautiful people. I wear a lot of Japan t shirts lol. I miss it.
@Dan Man You have a ton of misconceptions here, my friend. Imperial Japan no longer exists. Its a much much much different country now, its the 21st century and Japan is pretty close to China in terms of being the most advanced country in the world, as far as I remember. I'm pretty sure you're also trying to refer to the hentai industry or something in your last sentence. You have to understand that not nearly as many people in Japan are actually contributing to that, nor partake in it as you might think. Sure its really strange and kind of disturbing, but its a very deep part of the culture that isn't exactly out in the open really, and that you'd have to want to look for it. Sure, Akihabara in Tokyo is considered "Anime City", but its not like the entirety of Japan is Otaku culture, nor do they all like it. Please do some research or learn a lot more about the country as it is now or just don't say anything.
@@Luna-ry8lv And we nuked them twice! Yet, our countries still have a strong bond today. Japan and the US will become better friends overtime, hopefully.
I went to Tokyo last week and they are. They are also hesitant to express their true emotions which is weird and a bit alarming. They can’t be genuinely friendly and happy at all times. I just don’t buy it.
People keep asking about specific countries in Europe, but how would that be made into a lengthy video? As you can see from the video a lot of Japanese don't know too much about America, the most widely spread culture in the world, let alone countries in Europe
ummmm i think england is the most spread country in the world...... who colonized the world? who colonized america? why dose almost every western country speak english (not american) so to me it looks like americans think they started it all but its brits that corrupted the world and spread their nastyness(also goodness) so dont get me wrong no hate here. just saying it as it is? but i do wonder what makes all americans think america is the greates country? and why do all americans think that america is the one that starts most of the stuff.. when they arent.( no specific thoughts just general) i mean americans think they are so great but when the push comes to show the country ends up dissapointing the whole friggin EU/ the rest of the world? first thing im really curious about is this. how come you one have 2 president candidates? just shows how predeterminded the presidental campaing in america is. if you ask me.. every politician should go for the election. and then the people choose 1 out of maybe 100 diffrent people? instead of it beein 1 side against the other. i mean i could never live in america with a system thats not working for the people kiving in america. and especially dose not work outside america. no hatred just some ranting XD PEACE OUT!!
Andreas Løtveit Andreas Løtveit no hate but... 1. I believe the man meant present time not historical wise. At this moment, America’s culture is a global powerhouse that has major influence! For example Hollywood, The Music Industry, and basically everything entertainment wise uses the US as it’s hub. Usually this is why you see talented European talents moving to the US when they blow up and become stars. (A simple classic example would be The Beatles). 2. America believes they are a great country because over here we have a lot of national pride (and when you’re the most powerful country on the planet, it only boosts national pride) as for starting things, America is a melting pot, we take things from every culture and convert it into our own diverse culture. As for creating stuff, America has pretty much lead the world in Internet age, (we got Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg, Google, UA-cam, etc...) All centered in America. As for disappointing the EU I’m curious what events you’re describing, but also America doesn’t need to do things in order to please the EU... 3. I’m not sure you fully understand how the elections work, there are not just two candidates for presidency, but Two Major parties (Democratic, Republican) that nominate their best candidates out of tons of candidates in their party, also other parties are involved other than Republican and Democratic, but do not receive enough votes in order to get massive campaigns needed to promote their candidacy. As for voting 1/100 thats not possible with the electoral system in place, as popular vote doesn’t decide the winner. (Most Americans hate the electoral system btw) if you’re interested just look up a simple vid on it 4. To sum it up, despite so much shade always thrown at America, we have overcome some of the most hostile environments in the world, we are the biggest example of a melting pot. Basically all of America is made up immigrants and differing cultures, and yet we have overcome so many obstacles in order to live together (despite what media may say, it’s really peaceful over here, as long as you have a good head and got common sense you shouldn’t face any trouble with the so-called “race wars” that the media is tryin to start over here. Hell most people are mixed these days!) Hope you read this all, sorry for the long post but I feel like there are many misconceptions about America and as someone who is an avid History guy, and in love with other countries I felt like I should clear these up for foreigners wondering what’s going on
I really like how often you guys have been uploading. Keep up the great work Steve, Kei and everyone else involved in making the videos! I appreciate seeing different perspectives and what people genuinely think.

WastedDragon they don't really work that hard compared to USA. Their late hours at work and exhaustion comes from their self belief of "honor", where they feel they have to impress and give the image of hard workers. Because of this self imposed culture, morale completely stinks, the suicide rates among working Japanese is the highest in the world. USA is actually the most productive working country in the world per hour. Maybe not the most efficient, but certainly the hardest working.
WastedDragon I agree but my experience with some Japanese is that they sometimes are not straightforward with you like they won't say no or a direct yes and mean it
I was stationed in Atsugi Japan many years ago when i served in the Navy. I had a lot of Japanese friends. I was always treated with respect by my Japanese friends. I like that Japan and America have healed many of the world war 2 problems and are friends now. I don’t like how Trump has treated Japan and other Asian country’s. I like howJapan doesn’t allow China to Bully them. 🙏🏽
I love the kindness of Japanese people, it's such a humbling culture. I've always had a great time with my girlfriend's from Japan, they have a timid shell but truly do open up, everyone loves to laugh, and the bond between our countries is strong. I hope South Korean and US bonds will flourish as Japan and ours has.

As a American I have to say that for the most part we have a more positive view of Japan and it's culture and see it as one that focuses more on respect
God, I love this. To hear another perspective. Japanese culture is fascinating, cause its ancient, and beautiful. Going to Japan and going to the kabuki theatre is definitely on the bucket list.
I think Japanese culture is so awesome and I love their food too! They’re mostly really respectful and have some of the most awesome things in Japan like cat cafés and like lolita fashion stores etc. I would love to visit there someday, but I’m afraid that I’m gonna act like an idiot and won’t understand anyone since I don’t know much Japanese :,) but I’m glad they think we’re friendly! Love from the US
It seems that non-native English speakers get really upset over our use of "America" to refer to USA instead of the continent(s). First of all, in the English language "America" is colloquially understood to mean USA, whereas "The Americas" is understood to be the continent(s). That is the beauty of language. There is absolutely no misunderstanding in the English language that America is synonymous with USA. Also, people should also realize that different countries treat the amount of continents as different. In almost all English-speaking countries we use the 7 continent model where we separate "The Americas" into North- and South America and view them as two separate continents. Therefore we rarely even use the term "The Americas" and thus there is even less ambiguity when using "America" for USA. That is why other non-English speaking countries get confused as they probably use the 6 continent model where a single continent "America" is used to describe the combination of North- and South America.
Not to mention, when referring to nations/countries...it's obvious one means the US when mentioning "America". None of the other nations in South or North America actually have America in their title.
@Bill Bo Haggins also a typical far right white supremacist tactic, or an imperialist tactic that England has used more then once in the good ol' days, or a tactic used by nazis or Russians or Syrians or Muslims in Pakistan or Hindus in India, or like you are using right now to belittle all non white people in the world. Divisive tactics have been used, seemed to work then ended in the most epic fails in all of human history sooo many times by so many different people all over the planet, and it looks like they will continue to be used and lead to more epic failures as long as people like you exist. So congratulations for having the exact same bad idea as the people you don't like /and/ pointing it out! That has to be a whole new level of stupid! I'd like to say I haven't seen it anywhere before but... yeah... we have all seen it everywhere before.
4:15 O-okay. That little vocal shift was adorable! But in all honesty, what they're all saying in terms of staying where your most familiar with is totally fair. Everyone feels that way.
I spent some time in Japan. It was pleasant down in Sasebo (Kyushu) and I felt welcome in most places. There were a couple of places that were Japanese-only, but for the most part the people were gracious and polite hosts and very forgiving of my drunk friends. I drank with Japanese Marines and sang Karaoke regularly with the bar hostesses there and had the most amazingly fresh food on a regular basis. They were very educated and friendly people who made me feel welcome during my deployment to their country. I miss all of them and wish them well.
Almost Japanese love American ,European …all countries. Besides respect them! We want them to come to Japan. However,we don’t like people who can not follow our rule and custom.
I really like this alot. Especially since I'm going to japan in april. It gives me more of an insight and understanding of the people themselves and their perspective.
Arigato!! I think the Japanese aren't as closed off as some of them might say I know quite a few outgoing Japanese people. I'd love to learn more Japanese but it might be hard for me already being bilingual. I love how creative they are and they're culture is so fascinating to me 😁
We get involved with more countries and the world views us as trying to police and get into everyone’s business. We look at our own interest and everyone views us as being isolated not doing enough to help other countries... Very interesting video nonetheless. It’s always interesting hearing other people’s perspectives. Keep up the great work!
Yeah like every one of them looks cute. I guess we aren’t just used to their faces. Here, every girl I see, they’re like normal , but when my asian friend sees them, he always say they are so pretty.
thank you Japan for the nice caring comments ; you are a true friend and we we very much like and want to visit you too, hugs from mainland north America , sisters and brothers
As an American, I think these perspectives are relatively accurate. I was happy that people perceived Americans as friendly, when the US government isn't. It's relieving to know that some people outside the US can recognize that our people are different than our government. I think the biggest thing missing is how different Americans are depending on which state they are from. The US is extremely large and many of our state are bigger than a lot of countries. Since the majority of Americans are descended from immigrants (or immigrants themselves), there can be huge cultural (and food) differences between states, depending on who immigrated there, and when.
I’m American and they are so right lol but Japanese people seem so nice, I wouldn’t mind visiting Japan and dating/being friends with someone who is Japanese, the country seems so nice glad they have a mostly positive view of the USA. 🇺🇸 ♥️ 🇯🇵
I love how thoughtful and logical many Japanese people are with their reasoning, it shows a fantastic level of intelligence and awareness of the world around them. Even when they disagree with something about the US, like president Trump, that one guy says "there are many things we don't know about America and they don't know about us" and that is very true and a very commendable way to approach it. A lot of times here you get "my opinions better than yours, I don't care what you have to say about it". You'd be hard pressed to get answers like that here in the US that's for sure.
Lick that boot harder. It's almost like you don't live in America and have no idea what they're like. This assumption that Americans are dumb is a ridiculous one. America has it's problems but don't act like Harvard, MIT, Stanford and hundreds of billionaires don't live there.
@@TenlyMuz I don't know what boot licking means lmao, but good point regarding the intelligence present here in the US. I live in Detroit so perhaps my social outlooks are skewed. I also have not been to all of the states in the union so my comment was of course a generalization as most opinions like mine are. Certainly no one beleives everyone is dumb or everyone is intelligent. I just make generalizations based on the most frequent types of interactions I observe around me. Unfortunately most strangers I DIRECTLY interact with tend to be very hostile when you challenge their opinions, rather than looking at your side of the yard and considering an addendum. I didn't mean to imply Americans were dumb, I was trying to speak on how many of us are selfish, hostile towards and unwilling to acknowledge a viewpoint we don't agree with, that's all.
Honestly I do agree with the Japanese people that were interviewed especially when they talked about Trump and them wanting America to be more friendly toward other countries and when the one girl said that America was a melting pot. I feel Trump is also making enemies with the other countries and I feel bad for the other countries that they feel that they get descriminated because of there cultural background etc... So I do think America needs a lot more improvement with being more friendly toward other countries👍

True that. The way things are going, and the way dumb European politicians are "handling" things, Europe will be a cesspool full of Muslims. My country might not be rich, but at least it doesn't attract any jihadists. #easterneurope4life
you need to have topics that are more diverse. everyday america and or plastic surgery/politics is a little too much. maybe topics about Africa Europe the middle east religions and so on would be so interesting. their views on other aisain countries etc -just constructive criticism fighting
I think it's a good idea! I don't think Japanese people are much aware of other cultures because of their little immigration / the fact that only US army is there. Should be interesting :)
I actually prefer when they have specific topics that each person can discuss with relative depth. These topics are the more important ones that effect Asians imo
I'm an American citizen born and raised and personally I think the japanese are really cool. They are a very kind and respectful culture and I have alot of respect toward them
João Magliano not really... I think Americans tend to be more outgoing coming from a Hispanic. When you live in America most of the time no one judges you on most things tending to be more outgoing.
As an American who has traveled to Japan multiple times, I find Japanese people to be my favorite! They are so friendly and welcoming and very different from Americans but not in a bad way! I wish they wouldn’t think that we think negatively about them cause many of my friends feel the same way.
It's really about generalizing when you think about it.... Ask Japanese people what they think of America and they reply "Trump, Hamburgers, Movies, Fat people, Porn, Hip Hop, Food, Racism" etc. Ask Americans what they think of Japan and they reply "Nintendo, Play Station, WW2, Anime, Family Honor, Hentai, Plastic Surgery, Martial Arts ". There's nothing but generalizing over here and *ALOT* of it has to do with the modern media.

I always love Japanese interviews because of how kind and respectful they are when talking about other countries
You have to understand that social interaction convention requires them to say the thing that it appears correct, not accurate in any situation. How can I appear polite and serious? How can I avoid conflict?
I don't like America and I'm part Japan
They also say they are respectful with their words only because it's considered polite, so we may never know how they (or anyone) feels about anything!

@Dan Man ??? why do u think that?
@Dan Man but that was like 70 years ago that doesnt mean every japanese people is like that. if u think that what people did in 20th century is bad that means all americans r bad right?
Dan Man bro... you’re acting like they still follow Bushido the samurai era is over they’ve changed in 100 or so years they aren’t imperial japan anymore
@Dan Man We have statues of people like Christopher Colombus in the U.S, celebrating him for blind reasons, when he was a right douchebag in his era (regardless of how different the times are), and who actually didn't "discover" America, and came here by accident. But yeah America can look up to/celebrate a bad guy from history but another country can't? Sounds like you should actually VISIT Japan instead of just reading about their history/culture and deciding that the people in general are still like they were before. To just assume that every single person in Japan is racist is what's actually unthinkable. If they do deny parts of their history, thats on them. America denies parts of its history too. So do other countries. It sounds like you like dwelling in the past. Its the 21st century and guess what my friend, the world is moving on. Maybe a lot of the world's population does still dwell in the past. Good for them.

Trump isn’t the problem which I thought was funny. USA gives too much to other countries. It would be good to be more isolationist, like how Japan is isolationist in terms of immigration. It’s not a bad thing.
@@ChristianTaylor3 But, Japan has a ton of systemic and economic problems because they are so isolationist. They are also aware of this and making an effort, however slow, to change that and open up.
nickkuroshi0 Of course. Japan has its own issues to deal with. My point is that the US gives too much to other countries who don’t care about us and yet we are judged. We also are too easy with people coming here illegally. Most of the world doesn’t understand that. This is why Trump isn’t an issue; he understands that we can’t just let everyone in willy nilly which is exactly how Japan is.
@@ChristianTaylor3 Japan literally compromised its own economy to save the US dollar. Look up the Plaza Accord of 1985. Japan went into a financial crisis as a result of helping the US economy.
US immigration is also pretty broken and needs reform, which is the main reason our immigration problems are exacerbated. It's not that we are too easy on immigrants, we treat them inconsistently, a big factor being immigration wait times.
Thank you Japan for sharing all your food and culture and people. We love you from America.

"I've seen Hotdog eating contests over there" but they are always won by a skinny Asian lady haha

Not 'nonsense' at all. Many eating competitions are won by skinny Asians like Takeru Kobayashi or Sonya Thomas (South Korean born U.S. citizen) and others. (Google is your friend)
That one Matt stonie guy. whos still skinny lmao
Pretty sure there are eating contests in Japan too.
I visited Japan right after Hong Kong and quickly realized. The Chinese are completely different than the Japanese despite both being asian. In my opinion Japanese people are tied with only Filipinos on friendliness. It’s strange at first as an American cause when someone is being overly nice in America, it’s because they want something out of you. Japanese and Filipinos are genuinely wanting to be your friend, even if you are a stranger!
There's a huge difference between Japan and China. I think because China's population is so crowded that there's a "everyone for themselves" type of mentality. Japan is also extremely innovative while China "borrows" a lot of intellectual properties. Because it's China, there's pretty much nothing that can be done about it either.
The Chinese people are great, but the CCP is a problem. You never hear about Japanese spies or extreme censorship.

@Dan Man Modern Japan is much different than Imperial Japan.
@Dan Man You have a ton of misconceptions here, my friend. Imperial Japan no longer exists. Its a much much much different country now, its the 21st century and Japan is pretty close to China in terms of being the most advanced country in the world, as far as I remember. I'm pretty sure you're also trying to refer to the hentai industry or something in your last sentence. You have to understand that not nearly as many people in Japan are actually contributing to that, nor partake in it as you might think. Sure its really strange and kind of disturbing, but its a very deep part of the culture that isn't exactly out in the open really, and that you'd have to want to look for it. Sure, Akihabara in Tokyo is considered "Anime City", but its not like the entirety of Japan is Otaku culture, nor do they all like it. Please do some research or learn a lot more about the country as it is now or just don't say anything.

ummmm i think england is the most spread country in the world...... who colonized the world? who colonized america? why dose almost every western country speak english (not american) so to me it looks like americans think they started it all but its brits that corrupted the world and spread their nastyness(also goodness) so dont get me wrong no hate here. just saying it as it is? but i do wonder what makes all americans think america is the greates country? and why do all americans think that america is the one that starts most of the stuff.. when they arent.( no specific thoughts just general) i mean americans think they are so great but when the push comes to show the country ends up dissapointing the whole friggin EU/ the rest of the world? first thing im really curious about is this. how come you one have 2 president candidates? just shows how predeterminded the presidental campaing in america is. if you ask me.. every politician should go for the election. and then the people choose 1 out of maybe 100 diffrent people? instead of it beein 1 side against the other. i mean i could never live in america with a system thats not working for the people kiving in america. and especially dose not work outside america. no hatred just some ranting XD PEACE OUT!!
Andreas Løtveit Andreas Løtveit no hate but...
1. I believe the man meant present time not historical wise. At this moment, America’s culture is a global powerhouse that has major influence! For example Hollywood, The Music Industry, and basically everything entertainment wise uses the US as it’s hub. Usually this is why you see talented European talents moving to the US when they blow up and become stars. (A simple classic example would be The Beatles).
2. America believes they are a great country because over here we have a lot of national pride (and when you’re the most powerful country on the planet, it only boosts national pride) as for starting things, America is a melting pot, we take things from every culture and convert it into our own diverse culture. As for creating stuff, America has pretty much lead the world in Internet age, (we got Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg, Google, UA-cam, etc...) All centered in America. As for disappointing the EU I’m curious what events you’re describing, but also America doesn’t need to do things in order to please the EU...
3. I’m not sure you fully understand how the elections work, there are not just two candidates for presidency, but Two Major parties (Democratic, Republican) that nominate their best candidates out of tons of candidates in their party, also other parties are involved other than Republican and Democratic, but do not receive enough votes in order to get massive campaigns needed to promote their candidacy. As for voting 1/100 thats not possible with the electoral system in place, as popular vote doesn’t decide the winner. (Most Americans hate the electoral system btw) if you’re interested just look up a simple vid on it
4. To sum it up, despite so much shade always thrown at America, we have overcome some of the most hostile environments in the world, we are the biggest example of a melting pot. Basically all of America is made up immigrants and differing cultures, and yet we have overcome so many obstacles in order to live together (despite what media may say, it’s really peaceful over here, as long as you have a good head and got common sense you shouldn’t face any trouble with the so-called “race wars” that the media is tryin to start over here. Hell most people are mixed these days!)
Hope you read this all, sorry for the long post but I feel like there are many misconceptions about America and as someone who is an avid History guy, and in love with other countries I felt like I should clear these up for foreigners wondering what’s going on
I really like how often you guys have been uploading. Keep up the great work Steve, Kei and everyone else involved in making the videos! I appreciate seeing different perspectives and what people genuinely think.

In my American view, Japanese people are very nice and friendly in my opinion. They seem outgoing, and fun to be around. Plus they work hard as shit.
They really do but not as hard as the Amigo's. Go to any Home Depot and you will see exactly what I mean.
WastedDragon they don't really work that hard compared to USA. Their late hours at work and exhaustion comes from their self belief of "honor", where they feel they have to impress and give the image of hard workers. Because of this self imposed culture, morale completely stinks, the suicide rates among working Japanese is the highest in the world.
USA is actually the most productive working country in the world per hour. Maybe not the most efficient, but certainly the hardest working.
WastedDragon I agree but my experience with some Japanese is that they sometimes are not straightforward with you like they won't say no or a direct yes and mean it

I grew up the first 12 yrs of my life in Japan. I miss it so much & I've always had lots of love towards the Japanese. Great culture!!!

God, I love this. To hear another perspective.
Japanese culture is fascinating, cause its ancient, and beautiful.
Going to Japan and going to the kabuki theatre is definitely on the bucket list.

It seems that non-native English speakers get really upset over our use of "America" to refer to USA instead of the continent(s). First of all, in the English language "America" is colloquially understood to mean USA, whereas "The Americas" is understood to be the continent(s). That is the beauty of language. There is absolutely no misunderstanding in the English language that America is synonymous with USA.
Also, people should also realize that different countries treat the amount of continents as different. In almost all English-speaking countries we use the 7 continent model where we separate "The Americas" into North- and South America and view them as two separate continents. Therefore we rarely even use the term "The Americas" and thus there is even less ambiguity when using "America" for USA. That is why other non-English speaking countries get confused as they probably use the 6 continent model where a single continent "America" is used to describe the combination of North- and South America.
Not to mention, when referring to nations/countries...it's obvious one means the US when mentioning "America". None of the other nations in South or North America actually have America in their title.

You meant Murica. right?
@@candicee5849 What did that guy do personally wrong? Leftists like you really need to get over themselves and get out of your echo chamber of idea
4:15 O-okay. That little vocal shift was adorable!
But in all honesty, what they're all saying in terms of staying where your most familiar with is totally fair. Everyone feels that way.
I love japan. Spent a month in Yokohama. Everyone I met was nice and inviting.
jeremy beverly Japan is the most racist country i have ever been
@@ericwayne1491 how is it racist?
"I think Americans are very friendly and optimistic"
me : "omg... you precious, naive little fool..."
we are a*s holes most of the time.
@@loneneotank.5687 maybe in your family, mine is pretty nice most the time
Much love from America everybody✌
This makes me so happy, when I move to japan I hope I meet great people
Japan seems so wonderful. I am nice, outgoing, polite, quiet in public and even like martial arts. I think I could be very happy there
I spent some time in Japan. It was pleasant down in Sasebo (Kyushu) and I felt welcome in most places. There were a couple of places that were Japanese-only, but for the most part the people were gracious and polite hosts and very forgiving of my drunk friends. I drank with Japanese Marines and sang Karaoke regularly with the bar hostesses there and had the most amazingly fresh food on a regular basis. They were very educated and friendly people who made me feel welcome during my deployment to their country. I miss all of them and wish them well.
This video makes me love japan even more!:)
"I feel like they are looking at their own interest, they should strengthen diplomacy" * *cough* * says the Japanese😂😭
i think japanese are really cool, they seem nice and respectful, their architecture is beautiful too
I'm an Hispanic American and I think Japan is an amazing place because I'm a proud otaku/weeb
Q: What Japanese Think Of America
A: ASIAN BOSS
I’d love to go live in Japan for a bit. Beautiful place, I’m sure amazing food and down to earth people.
I would love to move to Japan, I love there culture, and I'm Buddhist.
Almost Japanese love American ,European …all countries.
Besides respect them!
We want them to come to Japan.
However,we don’t like people who can not follow our rule and custom.
USA number 1
That’s American privilege. That’s suck. I hate it

When i worked in Yosemite i used to give improptu scenic walks with many cultures.Japanese are so respectful and shy..so much fun !!!
I like Japanese people..and they hit on most of the questions 😂😂😂
sameeee
I love Japanese people I really want to go to Tokyo one day ❤️
I really like this alot. Especially since I'm going to japan in april. It gives me more of an insight and understanding of the people themselves and their perspective.
Arigato!! I think the Japanese aren't as closed off as some of them might say I know quite a few outgoing Japanese people. I'd love to learn more Japanese but it might be hard for me already being bilingual. I love how creative they are and they're culture is so fascinating to me 😁
Japanese people have a pure hearts
Greetings from Iraq 🇮🇶♥️🇯🇵
We get involved with more countries and the world views us as trying to police and get into everyone’s business. We look at our own interest and everyone views us as being isolated not doing enough to help other countries...
Very interesting video nonetheless. It’s always interesting hearing other people’s perspectives. Keep up the great work!
the girls were pretty
just get a anime pillow
white white perv
white white ehh not really. Only one I thought was pretty was the girl in the Burberry coat.
Yeah like every one of them looks cute. I guess we aren’t just used to their faces. Here, every girl I see, they’re like normal , but when my asian friend sees them, he always say they are so pretty.

Shallow.
its funny because when many americans think of hotdog eating contests, they think of a small japanese guy eating 50 hotdogs dipped in water lol
Kobiashi (believe that's his name) is the truth!
Pleasantly surprised by the thoughtful dialogue that was had here without being insulting or condescending.
"Hotto doggu" was the best part of this video.
Agreed
On the contrary I always get laughed when Americans pronounce Japanese world😂😂 Tsunaa↑mii↓ ohtaa↑niii↓
Za warudo
Funny part above this is when someone from other countries are asked about America's issues the first word they say I'd trump🤣🤣
thank you Japan for the nice caring comments ; you are a true friend and we we very much like and want to visit you too, hugs from mainland north America , sisters and brothers
As an American, I think these perspectives are relatively accurate. I was happy that people perceived Americans as friendly, when the US government isn't. It's relieving to know that some people outside the US can recognize that our people are different than our government. I think the biggest thing missing is how different Americans are depending on which state they are from. The US is extremely large and many of our state are bigger than a lot of countries. Since the majority of Americans are descended from immigrants (or immigrants themselves), there can be huge cultural (and food) differences between states, depending on who immigrated there, and when.

OH MY GOSH! hes so so bueatiful..
I’m American and they are so right lol but Japanese people seem so nice, I wouldn’t mind visiting Japan and dating/being friends with someone who is Japanese, the country seems so nice glad they have a mostly positive view of the USA. 🇺🇸 ♥️ 🇯🇵
Glad that they dont hate us after what we did in WW2...
They did
Oh hi Mr Lincoln
🇺🇸🤝🇯🇵 from Japan!
Sending love to Japan from the US! ❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇯🇵🇯🇵
Unstoppable 🇺🇸🤝🇯🇵 from USA :)
Thank you for your videos.
I love how thoughtful and logical many Japanese people are with their reasoning, it shows a fantastic level of intelligence and awareness of the world around them. Even when they disagree with something about the US, like president Trump, that one guy says "there are many things we don't know about America and they don't know about us" and that is very true and a very commendable way to approach it. A lot of times here you get "my opinions better than yours, I don't care what you have to say about it". You'd be hard pressed to get answers like that here in the US that's for sure.
Lick that boot harder. It's almost like you don't live in America and have no idea what they're like. This assumption that Americans are dumb is a ridiculous one. America has it's problems but don't act like Harvard, MIT, Stanford and hundreds of billionaires don't live there.
@@TenlyMuz I don't know what boot licking means lmao, but good point regarding the intelligence present here in the US. I live in Detroit so perhaps my social outlooks are skewed. I also have not been to all of the states in the union so my comment was of course a generalization as most opinions like mine are. Certainly no one beleives everyone is dumb or everyone is intelligent. I just make generalizations based on the most frequent types of interactions I observe around me. Unfortunately most strangers I DIRECTLY interact with tend to be very hostile when you challenge their opinions, rather than looking at your side of the yard and considering an addendum. I didn't mean to imply Americans were dumb, I was trying to speak on how many of us are selfish, hostile towards and unwilling to acknowledge a viewpoint we don't agree with, that's all.
Honestly I do agree with the Japanese people that were interviewed especially when they talked about Trump and them wanting America to be more friendly toward other countries and when the one girl said that America was a melting pot. I feel Trump is also making enemies with the other countries and I feel bad for the other countries that they feel that they get descriminated because of there cultural background etc... So I do think America needs a lot more improvement with being more friendly toward other countries👍
realizing that america is the only country, that sanctions other country's lel
I hate America I will never forget the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. We will not forgive the United States for stealing Japanese assets and forcing Japan to go to war. In addition, Japan stole all Japanese technology and companies, and after losing the war, Japan could not build a large aircraft due to the pressure of the United States. In addition, the os software tron, which was superior to windows, was also crushed by the pressure of the United States. Japan's gdp was also improving, but the Japanese post office, which had the largest amount of money in the world, had more money than the American city bank. I stole more money. Japan's gdp was held by Japanese as much as 18% of the world. It was all ruined by America. In addition, the High Frequency Active Aurora Research Program (HAARP) has so far been considered a system intended for peaceful use. However, HAARP was an earthquake weapon intended for "military use"! Furthermore, the unprecedented earthquake that struck eastern Japan on 3/11 was caused by HAARP. don't let America. Beware of America's Wickedness
Love to Japan 🇯🇵 from The Republic of Texas
What about the UK or Europe? It's always America Vs Asia :(
beenbeen I bet they dont even know Europe exists... They think its all Russian Empire...
beenbeen A small amount of adults and a higher amount of children in Southern Asia don't even know Europe exists.
Calm down mate. Not everything in the EU is what you see on 4chan.
True that. The way things are going, and the way dumb European politicians are "handling" things, Europe will be a cesspool full of Muslims. My country might not be rich, but at least it doesn't attract any jihadists. #easterneurope4life
because everyone loves america?i mean,every video always mention america some way or another
you need to have topics that are more diverse. everyday america and or plastic surgery/politics is a little too much. maybe topics about Africa Europe the middle east religions and so on would be so interesting. their views on other aisain countries etc -just constructive criticism fighting
Yourusernamejustmademyday you guys speak english
I think it's a good idea! I don't think Japanese people are much aware of other cultures because of their little immigration / the fact that only US army is there. Should be interesting :)
I actually prefer when they have specific topics that each person can discuss with relative depth. These topics are the more important ones that effect Asians imo
Err... What about the Japanese immigrations to Brazil
Yourusernamejustmademyday I wouldn't click on a video about Africa. I'm not interested. Neither with religion.
I always love Japanese interviews because of they are so kind and respectful when talking about other countries.
I want to go to Japan one day. People seem nice there!

That makes the two of us lol, because my daughter had to tell me what it meant haha.
Yes, thank you lol
I'm an American citizen born and raised and personally I think the japanese are really cool. They are a very kind and respectful culture and I have alot of respect toward them
u are beerus
"what's with the stereotypical face mask." -America wants to know!
People of Japan and Katsuhiro thank you for giving me Akira and the manga🙏🏾
Thanks so much for those very interesting vids!
When they say Americans are so outgoing, it shows me they have no clue about Latin America. Hahahaha
João Magliano jaja que verdadero 😂
João Magliano not really... I think Americans tend to be more outgoing coming from a Hispanic. When you live in America most of the time no one judges you on most things tending to be more outgoing.
They're talking about Americans from the US, obviously. If they were talking about Latin Americans, they'd be referring to Mexicans or such.
João Magliano It's like going to Asia and saying what kind off asian are you or what american are you? You don't.
Free Lemonade no but when people say “America,” they say it colloquially as in the “United States of America.”
how is japan so safe clean and friendly I will never know
As an American who has traveled to Japan multiple times, I find Japanese people to be my favorite! They are so friendly and welcoming and very different from Americans but not in a bad way! I wish they wouldn’t think that we think negatively about them cause many of my friends feel the same way.
It's really about generalizing when you think about it....
Ask Japanese people what they think of America and they reply "Trump, Hamburgers, Movies, Fat people, Porn, Hip Hop, Food, Racism" etc.
Ask Americans what they think of Japan and they reply "Nintendo, Play Station, WW2, Anime, Family Honor, Hentai, Plastic Surgery, Martial Arts ".
There's nothing but generalizing over here and *ALOT* of it has to do with the modern media.
When you're an ocean away, things tend to just be surface level even with our more connected world.
oh i love this country so much
