Umi started speaking japanese and honestly surprised me. her japanese is really good.

I think that many people focus too much on one side of a country (whether the positives or negatives), they completely ignore the other side (again whether it’s positives or negatives) But I like how in this video they try to express both the good and the bad, that’s much more realistic

love that you add the words up in the corner. Lets me add them to my deck to learn thank you.

I am black and hopefully moving to Japan soon enough. Thank you for this video

As a Black girl in Japan, I've talked about this a few times on my channel. I hateeeee that Umi has experienced slurs out here because yuck! I'm fortunate that no one has ever tried that with me, but also I'm 5'9, 180, so the average Japanese person probably doesn't want problems with me LOL loved hearing these perspectives!

ジャスティン・ビーバーはカナダ人ですね😂🙈

i didnt know frieza lived in japan.

There is real good and real bad in every country. Life is good for some and bad for others.

You are weird .. why are you so focused on me and my KIND.. your giving species is so weird is YALL HAVE NO IDENTITY AND WANT TO RESEARCH MELANATED PEOPLE BECAUSE DEEP DOWN IN THAT RECESSIVE PALE NEANDERTHAL GENETICS YOU HAVE YOU ARE JELL IOUS YOU BURN FROM THE SUN 🌞and your God made you that way

Yo black dudes brothas and sistas from the USA specifically. There is no dei no entitlements no benefit hand outs just on the basis on black skin color. Japan did not enslave black people so they have zero obligations to give special treatment to blacks on the basis of skin color. There is no critical race theory. In Japan you are absolutely judged on intelligence and capabilities. Everyone is judged on how well they can succeed rather than just getting a gold star for effort. It is 100% based on meritocracy (unless we are talking about seniority) but never eve based on dei. You must obey all the cultural rules norms written and unwritten. You cannot conduct yourself with ghetto antics like yall do in the USA. It will not be tolerated and you will be arrested. All respectful well behaved intelligent brothas and sistas are always welcome.

アメリカは1980年以降に日本に対して強く内政干渉し、日本の経済主権を奪い、国家資本主義を封印し、官僚主導を解体し、民族自決権を奪い、個人主義を推進し、女性活躍を推進し、産業政策を封印し、非正規雇用を増やし、中間層をダンピングし、外資規制緩和を推進し、リベラルなNGOを支援し、世論を操作し、経済主義を押し付け、民営化を推進し、少子化を引き起こし、移民を推進し、多様性を推進した。 アメリカ政府による日本への新自由主義攻撃は、極めて有効に働いており、さまざまな産業は持続不可能となっている。産業政策や保護主義や国家資本主義を禁止したために、日本の産業は労働ダンピングに頼る脆弱な搾取型経済へと強制的に転換した。 アメリカ政府がこのような方針を続ければ、日本は不可逆的に破壊されることになるだろう。

I hate the occupying forces who force us into ‘diversity’.

1:36 At least for Americans (in my circle of friends at least) hugging a physical affection becomes exclusive to the person you are in a close relationship with. Just always be ready to talk about these things and don't be afraid to ask questions and let your expectations be known. Is it romantic to communicate directly? Not really. Is it important for a relationship? Absolutely.

Nice

I'm going to make a video in Lagos Nigeria. Do you like Japanese people? Would you ever date a Japanese person? Black people stop giving these people your time. They pushing an agenda that we are on the fringe of society. It's like we some alien race that should be treated different. I absolutely hate these videos.

I inspire to be like you and go to Japan Umi! Im also a black woman living in Florida, currently learning Japanese, and hoping to one day move to japan

The ironic thing is gyaru is based off black culture, AND so is rock. You wouldn't have any modern day musical genres with black Americans, yet rock is more centered as being led by white people (those same white people will still claim their inspiration from black people, at least in most 1970s-90s bands. Like Dave Grohl was inspired by Muddy Waters for Foo Fighters, and references him in his 2016 documentary).

日本の方がいいと思いますよ。なぜなら、アメリカは危険で食べ物もゴミですし全然健康的じゃなくて銃撃が多くて子供も学校で銃で殺されて政治もダメで物価が高いですしもうアメリカが絶えられないんですが。アメリカで育ったから、良く分かる。ただ僕の意見です。

😂😂😂😂😂

今日本語を勉強していて、りきさんのインタビュウの動画を見ることはめちゃ面白いです！インタビューを続けてください！

America is such a massive country, so each state has it's own unique culture and vibe which makes it difficult to form a solid impression of the country as a whole when you have only visited one or two cities. Americans in general do tend to be fairly open and expressive though - interesting video! Hamburgers!

08:57 wooow he is very handsome

I find it funny how Japanese people will generalize life in America even though their entire media on foreign countries is almost always false. Since when is it dangerous to post your kids on social media? Ironic considering how in Japan adult videos including children is so normalized..

As an American, I'm flattered and honored that the Japanese still have good impressions of the U.S. I know we're not a perfect nation, but we strive to be a peace loving society🇺🇲🫡

Japan doesn’t allow blacks in there country no blacks allowed

You gotta love American Culture… You have to know the meaning behind a hairstyle in order to wear it… As an American and a minority, I’m embarrassed lol

She is so cute 😂

Nice video!! Greetings from Spain!

Thank you for this video and being sincere. I have seen other videos along the same topic but given I will be there soon for just a week, it is nice seeing a current video to give a better idea of what the current conditions are.

The second girls story was very interesting. I am curious after all her experience, if she wanna live in Korea or Japan or America.

Hey, thanks for consistently uploading content. Subscribed!

...So I have an off-topic question: Have you ever been to any of the Izu islands?

Bro a BTEC takashii in japan

Ah yes, hamburgers.

But you are African!

No matter where they go they’ll always view themselves as victims and always consider any problems they cause and failings in their life as not being in any way their fault and solely the fault of others of a different race.

it was soooo good interview! ❤ more videos to come!

すごいね！😮 💐I’ve been binge watching your videos and they are very good 😊🪴✨

おいおい、どこの国でも良いわけじゃないだろｗ

Hey man, love the content, I’d love to hopefully move from South Africa to Japan after my university, thanks for providing more information! Rooting for you!

This is my second video of yours tonight and I thoroughly enjoyed it!!!! It’s so cool to hear the enthusiasm behind the acceptance of foreigners in Japan. After watching the one on Black people in Japan I am definitely interested in black people living there in their 30’s -60’s to see what they’re experience living in Japan has changed or remained the same with the country it’s self adapting to them. Be curious to see. Keep the videos coming.

5:06 people that die their hair man... I feel like they're neglecting and disliking their hair color when they do that. I'm not gonna lie, that's the truth, if you do any sort of alteration or change to your body in any form or sort, it means that you dislike something from you, and that maybe you wanna copycat somebody else. Stay natural, working out and beards don't count, that forms part of your body tho... That's called reaching your full pottential. She has to love herself, and if she hates me for that, then ok you know, she is free to do whatever she wants. i'm not here to please people i'm here to speak the TRUTH. Besides that i want to add that i feel her when she says that she recieved derogatory insults, hope things get better for her, just want the best for her, maybe she should learn how to kick some ass, just in case next time a japanese guy discriminates her she beats him up, and then you know disappear from the scene. I'm not gonna tolerate discrimination man 100% that's violence against my person, what i do is called serving punishment, not violence. 11:35 dreads are to fit in well afro hair, not curly hair, but how can i say this, it's a type of hair that generally speaking only african people grow, to fit it correctly in the head, dreadlocks are the best option, i don't understand why everybody else makes this *utility* a "fashion", dread locks don't suit people with non afro hair.

Cool video bro. I've never been to Japan but I've dreamt of it ever since I watched my 1st manga movie, Akira, as a 7yo kid in the 90s One thing I've seen/heard/known for a While now with Japanese girls dating foreign men, especially Black men:.... They Are Literally Yandere 😅

Ok, that was INTERESTING!!! I am learning Japanese now and I find videos like this very eye opening. I noticed that all of your contributors are young and just entering the country for a short amount of time. Umi being the diffference with her two years. I would like to see another video where you talk to people in their 30’s - 60’s. I know they’re there and the experiences of those individuals would be a little more informed with more experience and time in the country. Great job for even asking these individuals to participate in this project. I’m sure it’s not easy walking up to a complete stranger especially those with their guards up. African Americans are always interesting in new countries to our experience because for the first part of our lives here we are exposed to racism and adversity that we subliminally carry into other countries but once we’re more comfortable in our skins we tend to look past the racism look for others who make our time on Earth more worthwhile. We’re either loved or hated on separately or all at the same time. To those younger going to Japan for the new experience, go there wtih open eyes but do not let the negative comments get you down. We’re built to overcome any challenge and we’re compassionate people. Sometimes, it can be taken for weakness or taken for granted but when real people come along, real recognize real and happiness always follows that. Peace and Blessings to all reading this and I look forward to another video from you Riki. Hopefully with the suggestions I made earlier to add a little more to the experience.

Europe is for Europeans. Africa is for Africans. Asia is for Asians. The New World (Americas, Australia) is for everyone. So stop bringing "diversity" and "equality" that you see in America to Asia, Europe or Africa.

🔥🌧🌈⛵

They just never stop do they. Don't let them infect your country

Dating those american and european people widened your perspective about them, that's great! Plus, you've learned some of their language!

When I see a person with dark skin, I say while staring at them, 'Wow, what a beautiful color. Allah always creates beautifully.

black lies matter
