Here's the list of celebrities:
- Beyoncé
- Anne Hathaway
- Scarlett Johansson
- Leslie Grace
- Mila Kunis
"Mila Kunis is a bit fat, and wears a bit too much makeup. I actually like her a lot" LOL wtf?
+Don Curley You will notice it if a girl you like gains a bit of weight or wears a lot of makeup.
+Naoki Akechi Might just be the ones who are most willing to be interviewed, rather than him picking them out specifically, imho.
But, I agree with you, the views of Japanese men vary greatly.
+Naoki Akechi interviews are not easy to do ... so maybe he is doing what he can :/
+Naoki Akechi It is very common for things like this to happen with any kind of research. In America, there is a saying that all Psychology is built on the Introductory Psychology student, which is because It is easier to get those students to participate in a study than other people.
+Don Curley I think by that he meant she looks bigger and wears more makeup than in other videos he might have seen of her
"i like how their lips move when they smile" lol i thought that was a human thing
Lol exactly.
That was wrong subtitle
That was wrong subtitle
Wrong subtitle
***** wrong subtitle
It is interesting how they weave these elaborate romantic fantasies around these women, where as an American man would simply say; "Yeah, I'd nail that."
Lol.
Not all American guys are like that , in fact most are not to be fair.
It's because the interviewer is getting them to do that...
I think that's because, in the west, there is a serious relationship and friend with benefits kind of relationship. While in Japan, the interviewees in this video seemed to be talking about serious relationships and marriage when speaking about girlfriend or relationship. I am sure in America too, if guys want serious relationship, they won't be just saying "Yeah, I'd nail that" but I do see where you are coming from coz some of my friends are just in a relationship coz their girlfriend is good in bed or has big booty. -_-
The way they develop elaborate ideas about the women's personalities, based on seeing them jabber in a language they don't understand on a chat show. A fair bit of projection there, I'd say!
Beyonce said she can't cook. Made me laugh when he said she'll be a good cook.
Japanese men are so family-minded. When you marry them, they expect you to stay at home, cooking, cleaning, take a good care of children, etc since nanny cost in Japan is so expensive. So, that's why these days many Japanese girl don't want to get married:(
Instead, they choose foreign guy.
Same goes for the guys, dating foreign women is like prestige
But , I believe there are also Japanese guy who believe in equality of men and women:)
For dating, They can be fun. For marriage, nah...ahahaha..
That's exactly what I was thinking. I cracked up.
ya but she's modest, her track record is like being the best singer/dancer/entertainer/female-rights-leader. so when you're THAT good at stuff, you tend to be modest
Thunderclaps despite being a pop icon she can play a boss bitch all she wants as her public image but u can tell shes the traditional type who likes to cook for her husband and kids u can tell by her demeanour
If you are Southeast Asian, let me remind you that it's just ONE guy who made that comment. The second most popular kind of international marriage in Japan is between Japanese men and Southeast Asian women (the most common one is between other East Asian women and Japanese men). So obviously a lot of Japanese men are into Southeast Asian women.
+That Japanese Man Yuta i'm malaysian! yay
+That Japanese Man Yuta Really thats nice to hear
thank you for the confirmation yuta san 🙏
+That Japanese Man Yuta Do Japanese women interesting with SE Asian man?
+That Japanese Man Yuta true. Many of my Japanese clients likes Philippines girls, followed by Thai.
My god these people did an analysis of each of the women
I was seriously just thinking to myself: "How far are these guys going?! Just what do they base this all on?!"
RamenDutchman they will fret on the tiniest intimidation you give them hahahaha
That was the point of the video...
japanese people do this all the time its so weird
"This Mila Kunis seems a bit fat... And too much makeup... She also seems she would be quite sarcastic to me.
I couldn't ask for more."
He knows what he wants.
He does
🤣 yep. What a strange one.
Shut up Meg
😂
"Foreign women are generally beautiful." I see that confirmation bias is a world wide phenomenon.
+Quint Rankid Often it's about what stands out.
I think foreign women will always be attractive because you don't see them everyday
+Ahmad Alsaleh Ya, they can be seen as different from the norm of where u are from.
+Quint Rankid Dont get to heartbroken friend, we all enjoy different males/females that we don't see everyday :)
+Quint Rankid We're subconsciously wired to diversify our genes. Isolationism only leads to very bad situations like the Finish Heritage Disease (look it up). This is why "foreigners" in any land will always seem more sexually appealing.
I love how they were diagnosing their personalities based on short interview clips. Many of them seemed to be very insecure about the confidence of the American actresses.
Well they are so misogynistic so
Damn! Japanese men are brutally judgmental but at least they're honest. I just hope they'll realize that Mila isn't considered fat in American standards.
+Draw Enidan most asians have much smaller bodies than us living in the west. they consider us being 'big' even if by our standards, we are labeled as normal... :(
+Draw Enidan Why would they care about American standards? Their point of view is the Japanese standards...
+Petra Teittinen like I said, they're just being honest.
+Team BlackLight I never said I expected them to care but if I made some Japanese friends and they said something like that to me I would politely explain to them that it's rude, but I'm not gonna hold a grudge against them.
*****
yep
could u do Japanese Girls React to American Male Celebrities? :D
+NyuGW2 i want to see it to so heres an up vote but i cant help but feel that i know how they´re are going to react
+NyuGW2 There are countless "react to" videos already on TH-cam, surely that's been done before.
+NyuGW2 Yes Yuta DO IT!
+NyuGW2 rachel and jun did a fave (foreign?) male celebrity vid. Its something like what you asked for.
And female celebrities, remember not everyone's heterosexual
I love how insightful these answers are. They're not only saying stuff like "Nice body" or stuff about their looks only, but they actually take the time to think about what their personalities might be like. Of course they can't really know that, but I love it how they consider it so well.
+Riadanian Daae I actually thought their thoughts on their personalities came off as just as superficial as the evaluation of their looks. Seemed to be based on clichee assumptions of what certain women are typically like. Not very insightful in my opinion...
+Demian Haki I'm basing this off on the way I've mostly heard men talk about female celebrities... at least these guys tried to comment on their personalities and didn't just discuss their chests and behinds. :D But yeah, perhaps insightful wasn't the word for it.
+Riadanian Daae I think maybe they were asked to make guesses of what their personalities would be like. I didn't really find the answers all that insightful though. It was more of this girl has sharp features, so she's probably demanding and egotistical, and this girl has soft features so she's probably kind and affectionate.
same, I was actually quite pleased with that :)
taking time to think about their personality ~ right all based on looks lol
Do you live in Japan? Can I interview you about your dating experience in Japan? Let me know by using this form: goo.gl/j13bj3
+That Japanese Man Yuta Great video, keep up the great work.
***** ***** Can you guys end the conversation, you're not getting anywhere.
+That Japanese Man Yuta I think you should ask people what they think living in America would be like.
+That Japanese Man Yuta i dont find Mila attractive...plus i saw her without makeup...not very pleasant.
Inquisitve m Me neither.
I liked the guys at the end lol, homeboy on the left wants to wife half of America.
He's funny. I think he sees himself as a bit of a philosopher.
ALL of them talk like that!
Frr lmao
What I don't understand is why they talk about what type of girl she possibly is
+FalcaoXTZ Because Yuta asked them "What kind of girlfriend would she make?" It's just their immediate impressions.
+RC Master They sounded way too assertive about their impressions, though, as if they were very convinced of it, even when they could be perfectly wrong. Just throwing in a "maybe" or "I think" before what most of them said would have really helped.
And that's what the OP meant.
+RedHairdo No not really, Falcao directly says "Why are they talking about their personalities," not "Why are they so sure they know these girls?"
Not what OP meant.
+RedHairdo the original japanese was not at all assertive. They were phrasing things in ways to indicate that they weren't sure. just that kind of subtly is lost in translation.
+FalcaoXTZ you can tell a lot about someone's personality by their body language.
Dude your videos are brilliant... So insightful
Judging entirely on videos from TH-cam I've noticed Japanese tend to (again within videos) sometimes focus on how American someone is. Like there is a distinction between Americans who are white or black being somehow more American than Americans who happen to be Asian, Latino, Arab, etc..
Remarking on the person's ethnicity as something not truly American.
Just an observation solely based upon TH-cam videos and not any personal experience so take it with a grain of salt.
I guess when the world will be invaded by aliens ..we'll be considered as one specie.. highly doubt that this kind of mindset will vanish in just a few years..or maybe even a hundred.idk
When you think about it, distinguishing between ethnicity or race is VERY American. Our history is filled with clashes between ethnic groups, and our modern society is still distinguished between them. There are Black people who act "Black" in an American sense that don't act anything like Black people in other countries. You can see in the news all over the country, especially recently, headlines like: "Cop kills black teenager"
坂田 金時 (Sakata Kintoki) I see what you mean but I'm not talking in terms of behavior. And certainly there are still those who sadly see race and only race within our country. However I'm speaking strictly on an outsider's perspective. And it's not just limited to the Japanese, I've heard the same from Europeans but that was actually thru conversation.
Even if it's not meant in a negative way there is an effort made to point out "oh they are chinese" or require further information if u say you're American.
Evan Saltare
I wouldn't think too much about it if there is no negative intention. Worrying about silly things like that will only foster negative things
Katherin Bookish lol I think about that exact scenario sometimes. In my opinion if someone is a U.S. citizen they're American. Simple as that. My mother who was born in Puerto Rico, born a U.S. citizen and had lived for 60 years between New York and Florida still refers to only to white people as American.
It's funny but confusing at the same time.
I'm merely surprised at how thoughtful these answers were! If you asked American guys the same questions, you'd be lucky to get trisyllabic answers.
trysyllabic? What do you mean? I live in a non-English country:(
Tiffany Boone 😂😂😂🍻🚬
PMKP KELAS A small words, stupid answers...cave man attitude
+Tiffany Boone
oh I see._.
Can you give me example of trysillabic words? I am curious of what American guy give answers.
PMKP KELAS A
The tri suffix means 3, syllables on the other hand, are the distinct sounds in a word. Syllable is trisyllabic since you would pronounce it sill-ah-bull whereas trisyllabic has 4 syllables try-sill-ah-bik.
I was enjoying the video until I heard
"I don't like her"
"I don't like her face"
"She looks South East Asian"
今回も楽しく拝見させていただきました！
Thank you for your hard work and effort in these videos! I go to Shibuya often - maybe I will even see you interviewing one time haha
"Her mouth is big"
So I'm not the only one that thought that, great.
I still like Anne's smile.
Aerosmith's Steve Tyler in training. 😧🙊
I am Japanese. When I watch this video, I see that these Japanese men aren't really serious and are talking jokingly. They fully understand how ridiculous and funny it is to seriously imagine and speak the image of a celebrity foreign woman.
It is interesting that many foreigners take these Japanese men as if they were talking seriously. If you do not understand Japan's unique "お笑い owarai" culture, it may be difficult to understand their intentions. Especially the last guy who is joking with serious face has a good sense of humor.
I used Google Translate
Finally, a fellow japanese guy who understands the culture haha driving me insane reading these foreign people babble
i dont get how people complain that these guys are judgy, superficial, etc. Of course they are judging, they were ASKED to judge. Of course their comments are on superficial thing, they are NOT those celebrities's inner circle friends. How the hell they know the real quality of those celebrities? and though i am a SE asian, and i do think that guy has a RIGHT to have some physical preference over some particular race. Yes, being less preferred sucks, but we can not force all people to like us, can we? e
You didnt have to write so much and waste your time.some people never understand.
Judgment doesn't equal stupidity bro
there are some really pretty dudes in this vid.
Yep...:)
Nguyễn Hải Dương thats cute and all that you tried to add your little condescending view, but one's education does not reflect their appearance, and vice versa. this isnt the place for your petty replies.
Nguyễn Hải Dương in general, then, you might want to actually reply using the persons name in your response. or youre going to be taken out of context. im the person who gets the notification "nguyen hai duong replied to your post," noemi would get "nhd replied on william's post."
Nguyễn Hải Dương at no point was i confused. you made the error.
this comment is old as fuck, you grow the fuck up you racist piece of fucking garbage.
"I don't like her."
"She looks like Southeast Asian"
Ouchhhhh 😂😂😂
It's really interesting how all these guys are creating these elaborate thought out stories and scenarios surrounding these women just by looking at them. An American guy would just look at Beyonce and say her ass is fat.
Just a quick note to everyone watching the video: keep in mind that one of the questions was "what kind of personality do you think she'd have?" It's not like Japanese guys are so "deep" they look at a girl and immediately try to figure out what she's like while ignoring her personality lol. I'm sure if you let them be, they'd have talked about her looks and moved on, since that's the only thing you could actually tell from a picture. Funny video. Loved when the one guy said he'd pick Mila Kunis as a life partner. Like...getting a little too caught up in the fantasy there lol?
Something wrong with south East Asian?
+shawolarmysone exolbestfriend they expect something American though.
+shawolarmysone exolbestfriend Japanese usually look down on other Asians but mostly Southeastern Asians.
+shawolarmysone exolbestfriend oidk why byt Japanese tend to look down on them as they do with other Asians... I've read South Asian women though are thought of as mostly prostitutes in Japan sadly...
***** you need to look at a map bro.
+TheJoK94 Got my pitch fork ready and you corrected your self, gaaaah
lol someone said anne hathaway seemed nice. she's not a nice person. she went to this fancy restaurant, demanded that her egg be cooked a certain way, returned the food because it wasn't her style and at the end, she just said the food was cold and ordered something else. she's a real princess for sure.
You saw her ? Stop believing rumors, it's all misogyny, men do worse with proof ! And no one says shit
As a foreign girl currently living in Japan and having quite a few problems and disappointing experiences with the guys here, this was very fun and uplifting. Thank you. Gives me hope that I might find a boyfriend here one day ^___^
What problems are you facing?
+Grace Marie small penises
+hoekk lol
i like this video , they re not judging but yet speak their minds in a positive way , Japanese people are really great people
Saying what you think isn't judging, they ve been asked to say their opinions, can't anybody express themselves anymore??? Stop being butthurt over everything
+RR Judging is saying "they are like that" not "that's how I think they are" or "that's how I imagine they would be."
To me its nit judging, it's just fantasizing, as are any thoughts most people would have about celebrities that they aren't likely to meet, and I think it was super interesting.
+RR Oh definitely that part. I was thinking more the personality parts. Choosing a favorite is definitely judging but it feels like a different kind of judging to me.
omg japanese culture is probly one of the most superficial culture in the world search and look all the items they have to to improve their LOOKS lol
I love these guys responses, they are so detailed.
I feel like these guys could benefit from getting out into the world more or having more foreigners come to Japan. Many answers in this (and also some other videos) seem like people just talk in abstract stereotypes. Sounds so naive at times...
+Demian Haki They kind of can't help it. Its just the country live in.
+Demian Haki Yeah, it feels completely naive, actually. Makes me wonder how they handle their relationships.
+TheBleachj16 Saying they can't help it isn't really the right thing to say. It makes it sound like they're incapable of understanding things (like the sort of thing you would say about a child or a mentally ill person). They're just ignorant of other cultures, and as grown adults they should work on that.
A
Like. to. see
the
Can you make a video where you ask people what their views are on the Abrahamic religions? Would be interesting
+Itachi Uchiha Oh yes.
+Itachi Uchiha Oh yes.
+Itachi Uchiha Japanese people aren't really as interested in religion as the West. I don't really think you'd find much opinion.
+DifferentGuy4 very true
+Itachi Uchiha I don't think the Japanese know much about them.
You should've mentioned that Mila kunis is a Ukrainian Jew not ethnically Slavic and that her family was forced to leave because of growing antisemitism. A Ukrainian politician even said she wasn't a "real Ukrainian" because she's a "jewess."
+AM Y Jews Ethnicity is unrelated to being an "Ukranian" or "Jew", so I don't see your point. I'm assuming you just picked the wrong word.
Don't you just mean "origin"? Either religious or national. Ethnicity implies what many of us erroneously call "race". (Black, white, south american indian etc..)
+RedHairdo Jewishness is an ethnicity and cultural identity ever heard of a pan ethnicity (like Latinos) ? She was a Ukrainian national but not ethnically Slavic/Ukrainian.... Re-read what I wrote.
+RedHairdo no I picked the right word. And no ethnicity and race are not the same thing. Jewishness is an ethnoreligion unlike Christianity / Islam (even though there are converts).
+AM Y I had written a very elaborate reply, but I decided to do a lot of reading on the very definition of "ethnicity", and it turned out, unbeknownst to me, that in fact there is a huge debate over the decades whether or not religion should be considered as one of the many elements that make up an ethnic group.
Meaning I was approaching the use of the word one way, and you another. Of course, I find it absolutely nonsensical to include that variable in the mix, but oh well.
Eitherway, I already read what you wrote correctly the first time, and thus there's nothing for me to "re-read", don't be so arrogant. But I (and you) did have to look up on how the terminology on "ethnicity" is still somewhat "unstable".
Oh, and by the way, I never implied race and ethnicity were the same thing, but instead what people erroneously call a "race". (Turns out it is _you_ who have to re-read what I said in the end.) Difference in race is what we see in different cats, dogs and whatnot, but ALL living humans today, black, white or otherwise, are all biologically part of the same _race_ scientifically denominated "Homo Sapiens Sapiens" (yes, "Sapiens" twice). The very, very small biological implications among humans of a different ancestry is one, if not _the_ main reason, the word "ethnicity" has come into existence for. So when you said that they "are not the same thing", I hope you were not implying that biological ancestry is excluded from its definition, considering its importance. I'll assume you weren't.
+AM Y the whiteness doesn't stain! (?) jajajaja
I'm glad you shower then Beyoncé but could you show them maybe some popular black actresses? I just want to see their reaction. There are light and dark skinned blacks so I want to see how they react to the difference. Your doing a great job!
This is TH-cam not fear factor
+VikingII it was just a suggestion. I just wanted to hear their thoughts because everyone different. They know about black male figures but not black female figured besides Beyoncé. So again it was just a suggestion
Tatiana Brittian i was just joking with you.
+VikingII oh then sorry then
Tatiana Brittian it's okay.
Lol I love this guy xD; "She's fat and has too much makeup,... I like her" LOL
I've been thinking about this for a while after a few on the street videos I've seen but somehow Japanese people are able to read people well. These assumptions based on the interviews they've seen were pretty spot on and it completely surprised me how accurate they were about these celebrities given that Japanese people have a hard time actually understanding English.
It's fascinating yet aggravating to see how brutally honest these guys give their opinions. Especially being a foreign woman in Japan that has had first hand experience with this kind of stuff!
Anywho,
Thanks for the video Yuta :) I always enjoy no matter what the topic haha.
anne hathaway is like 10/10 no doubt, nippon got good tastes
+Solomon Grundy you're delusional if you think that ANNE HATHAWAY is a five. Who the hell is a 10?
it must be sad to live in your fantasy world where average people are 1s and 2s
Maybe she won't be a 10, but a 6? Come on now...
+Solomon Grundy nah she's at least a 7 or an 8 . She's not really my type either but she is obviously more attractive than most on average.
Anyone who claims that Anne Hathaway is a "10/10" is either not attracted to women or has a small penis. It's that simple. She's quite ugly. At her absolute best she is extremely average. It doesn't help that she is a complete bitch.
Please you have to do this with angela merkel i really want to see that
+orochimarujes exactly that's what i want to see
+Simon Schwarz like what does Angela Merkel think of American male celebrities?
+dot omg no. what dies japanese men think about Angela Merkel.
TO MY YOUNG MELANIN RICH LADIES: You're so beautiful and I wish you would focus on being the most beautiful you inside and outside instead of asking others what they think of your amazingly smooth skin. I know it can be bothersome living in a country where people that look like you are barely seen as the leading lady. The more you explore this wonderful world the better you will see that your worries and woes about your color are not a limit to your beauty. So please can you stop asking others to review your dark skin. Its okay to feel different. Different=/= bad
Kind of a weirdly out of place injection.
Um.. okay
Thank you!!! I try to remind black girls daily to not worry about things like this because videos and media isn’t always correct because when you actually go to these places there are men that like black women lol but I am happy that we try to make sure black women don’t seek validation from other races
As a Dominican- American this is discouraging but wholly unsurprising. From my experience Japanese people like white foreigners the best. The whiter the better. Black people are more exotic so in that sense they are attractive or cool. And despite the guy's comment in the video, south east asians, and of course Koreans and Chinese, are asian too so they're more similar in body type and some features which I think generally makes them attractive to Japanese people. But Latinos? We are invisible/unattractive here it feels like. As much as I love living in this country I should probably start thinking about leaving unless I want to be single forever....
+anivision Latinos are not invisible/unattractive, YOU think YOU are invisible/unattractive.
+Tatiana Montoya Truth
+anivision "The whiter the better" From my experience that's not true. I feel bad you haven't met a guy that likes latinos yet, but I'm sure there are plenty who you just haven't met.
My dads japanese and seriously has a thing for Latinas x) im half
Latino (Chilean, if it matters) living in Japan, I do have a Japanese girlfriend, but I half-agree. I was told that Japanese go crazy for foreigners and stuff, but not really, same level as anywhere else.
Wow, I'm Southeast Asian and never have I ever been hurt by a video. Hahaha. It's okay, it's his opinion. (｡>﹏<｡)
+Kaze Hamada It's just ONE guy who said that, and she's not even Southeast Asian. I thought his comment was interesting because he associated a Latina with Southeast Asians (which also showed that he totally wasn't familiar with Latinas.
...anyway, I totally find many Southeast Asian women attractive and so do many Japanese (and other East Asian) men.
+That Japanese Man Yuta Thank you for clarifying! Anyway, I guess he mistook her for being SEAsian because of her tan skin. We Filipinos for example are quite on the tan side.
+That Japanese Man Yuta I'm sure it was the coloring. A lot of us Latinos are darker (biracial) naturally, without any suntanning. And it seems fair skin is more popular in Japan (from years of watching vids and hearing the comment over and over praising fair skin). Leslie did look better with the side ponytail. Much cuter look for her. Fun vid, thanks.
+Kei Kaze I think that it's definitely rude comment for Southeast Asian and feel so sorry to trouble. m(-_-)m
I hope we get along together. (｡･ω･｡)
+千重勇敏 Oh, it was definitely rude. I wonder how they'd feel if they heard some of my girlfriends who think Asian men are unattractive. I totally disagree--I think Asian men are gorgeous--but that's a particular prejudice. They see Asian men as non-manly. And some see darker-skinned or black or biracial women as not as good as white or Asian women. We all have prejudices. I find all races attractive--I've had crushes on black, biracial, Latino, Irish-American, German-American guys, and Jewish guys. I've met several Filipino and worked with a Filipino gal. I usually think they're supercute. But clearly, many of these guys just don't like darker type girls. Beyonce, being sexual and famous as heck, probably pushes different buttons.
I love how they were instantly giving honest comments, predictions about their personality types, where to find them, and if they are their ideal. A perfect example of system 1 at work.
Born in the "borx"? Did you mean the bronx?
I don't get how some guys have such strong opinions and so many things to say about people they've never met.
+TheDrakon Yes, 'Bronx'. Just a typo.
+That Japanese Man Yuta Thanks, usually I can figure out what you meant to say but this one was confusing.
+TheDrakon Well, I've found that there's a lot that you can gleam about a person's personality just by watching them, seeing how they act and carry themselves, looking at the expressions on their face, and such. While looks CAN be deceiving and first impressions CAN easily be wrong, on average I've found they're more often right than not.
And knowing these celebrities like I've seen in their off hours (on shows where they get an opportunity to just be themselves, or on Youube clips where they're just hanging around and doing whatever), I can actually agree a fair bit with a lot of their conclusions. However, I've also never met any of them, so it could be completely off base and they could all be completely different from how I imagine them.
+TheNaomeister The point is that you never know enough to be assertive about your early conclusions from just looking. Sometimes we just are poor judges, and during other times, we normally get something right, but something exceptional might be up with a specific person, meaning that if you are going to "guess" anyone's personality, you _must_ always be 100% humble about it and remind yourself you may be absolutely wrong, absolutely right, or something in-between, no matter what you think you can or can not tell.
Meaning it's more often than not a very pointless thing. *_The only answer that is 100% guaranteed to be correct is "I dont know."._* Even when you guess something right, it does not necessarily mean you got it right for the actual reason something is the way it is, and in such cases, you may believe you're right, and live the rest of your life thinking you were right, while you were wrong all along.
+RedHairdo They were asked to give their opinions on them. Should they all have just said "I don't know"? Or should they all have just said "I think this and this but in the end I don't know"? It's pointless to say that. Everyone knows they're just basing off their opinions on the appearance and the way the women present themselves. There's really no point in saying any of that because *everyone knows* that *no one except* the ones who actually know them can be sure of what they say.
So I don't see why is this an issue. Everyone is based off of looks and the way they present themselves everywhere. If someone thinks you look like someone who is arrogant they won't approach you, if you're not tidied enough in a job interview they won't hire you, etc. Really, that's how it works in the real world, and if these men were asked questions, it's only natural for them to find an answer according to what they think of what they see.
What I noticed when watching this video, was that the Japanese men gave very in-depth and sincere answers to each woman they saw even if they did not find her their own personal types. In other videos of American men rating women, American men (in general) will give very short and concise answers that do not have much depth to them. They will just say something along the lines of, "Oh yeah. She's hot. I'd date her" or "No, no way". Whereas these young Japanese men gave responses to the women's appearances, what they thought their personalities may be like, and in general were very respectful about their critiques. It was a very insightful video.
Agreed, it's quite interesting as to why there's such a difference
You don't seem to realize that the interviewer kept asking them those kinds of questions. They didn't just all coincidentally decide to talk about what they think their personalities are like.
SE Asia has beautiful women
"she would have more power over me" i mean duh, beyoncé would have more power over _anybody_
How do they think they can tell all that just by looking at a minute or two of video? She looks nice, she looks like she knows how to cook, she looks like someone I can spend the rest of my life with....really? You can tell all that in 30 seconds! No wonder the Japanese are having a hard time hooking up. If they think you can tell important aspects of someone's character and personality just by looking at them.
You got a point! lol now that I think about it..it seems rediculous lol
I'm not convinced this is simply a "Japanese" thing but it's still pretty silly.
They were asked to say how they imagine their personalities. They were asked to do that.
Yeah, it's pretty silly to even ask isn't it?
Weird how they thought Mila Kunis is fat, but they didn't say anything about Scarlet?
I wonder how they're talking anbout their personality so confidently
+JJames666male you should search for a video called something like 'what is chubby in japan' made by Rachel and Jun channel. you'll understand better how japanese people think.
in any case, East Asians have smaller body frames than Caucasians, Latinos, or those of African descendant. It's generally because east asians don't eat milk or milk derivates like most of the world does.
as far as their confidence in speaking about the girls' personalities.. that puzzled me too, LOL. but we all have certain impressions on various people, even if we don't know them personally..
+JJames666male I think they meant she looked bigger than she normally does. I thought the same thing and was wondering if that interview was done after she'd had a baby maybe because her face did seem fuller than usual. Also, Scarlet has sharper facial features whereas Mila has a naturally rounder, smaller face, which I think makes her seem 'chubbier'.
+JJames666male Because Yuta asked them what they though their personalities would be
***** I know that, and I've seen the video.
What surprised me is that scrlett johansonn is definetely curvier than mila kunis. But maybe it's as the guy who commented after you says.
JJames666male well, since i don't keep up with celebrities, i had no idea she had a baby. and the person with chinese name might be right. [and if i seemed rude in my previous video, i'm sorry. i just can't know what other people know or not] have a great year!
Lol 'foreigners are always beautiful' yet when they get to the black girl 'she looks southeast Asian' 'she's not my type, I don't like her face.' Japan looooves white girls.
that black girl loocked very south american tho. beyonce has more black features than the other girl-
Mo Makhoana Beyoncé is mixed race. The other girl was fully black
Emily Hart Beyoncé has two black parents.
What's with all these comments saying they're "brutally honest" and surprised by it? lol Men regularly talk like that about the women they know. And women are WORSE when it comes to that.
JAPANESE GUYS REACT TO BOLLYWOOD FEMALE CELEBRITIES 😎 (Aishwarya, Priyanka, Katrina, Deepika, Kareena, Sonam)
And Anushka and Kajol
No
Who tf are these people
I noticed that in Japan because they are surrounded by women who are of fairer skin, they prefer those type of women. Whereas, if it was a darker women, they would say she is pretty but aren't drawn to them as much.
Japanese people are just more beautiful in general
Really interesting answers. I can't wait to see what new video you come up with. And thanks for having the courage to interview people for these answers! :)
It's weird seeing the assumptions people make when they don't know the language. Especially with Mila Kunis. She's pretty much the exact opposite of what they were saying at the beginning.
Don't judge a book by its covers.
I intend to go to japan , so this is a huge fear of mine . I'm short (4'9) , pale , freckley , dark ginger , and I'm quite afraid of what they will see me like , regardless of my asian heritage . but I think with how much I love the culture and want to go , I can get over it .
still gives me a little panic attack .
yeah , irish , japanese , native american ,nordic and a bit of randomness mixed in, in that order its a weird mix .
I like how these people observe. they really give alot of thought. I've never met someone like this
I think the videos of Mila were from when she was pregnant 😂😂 I remember seeing those.
To me, Beyonce is the most beautiful physically. But I like them all. Scarlett is my girl crush.
It's interesting to see how detailed and deep their analysis of celebrities were. Although their feedback was only based on short clips of these celebrities, their comments were not as surface or shallow as American comments tend to be about celebrities. Makes me wonder if Japanese people tend to be more deep due to culture or if this is just particular to the men interviewed.
Well he did ask them a specific question providing them with little to go off of. If they didn't use their imagination then every answer would be 'I don't know her but she's pretty.' They got called shallow for judging their personalities on nothing but a short video. They'd have been called shallow too had they ignored it and only judged what they could see.
I like how straight-forward they are
The last guy is so intuitive and witty with his comments lol
3:48
"Whats her origin?"
"Dominican american"
"Ooohhhhhh"
Yea am sure they know many Dominican Americans lol . good stuff. I love this video !
Aw man the guy with the beanie at 5:20 is such a cool guy. He's gonna be a pretty darn good boyfriend imo.
It is endlessly interesting watching japanese answer questions and just how vastly different they are to americans/english/australians that i normally see, i love it!
Amazing how insightful the interviewees are! Very thoughtful in their assessments of the women, and picking up on the subtleties in the videos shown. I enjoyed the video very much!
i really liked those guys, attractive and interesting way of thinking, very imaginative haha
well damn, they really dont mind saying whats on their mind, i admire that.
2:54 well that’s totally me. All people I live with say to me « when we look at you it’s like you don’t want to talk with anyone » but then they say « you are very veryyy gentle even with your angry face » well it’s like I am ! (Who cares ? Anybody yes I agree )
I know this might be picky but do you think you can make the subtitles optional? I find them distracting. But also I understand if you can't. Thank you!
2組目の奴らほんと失礼だな。日本人としてレスリーグレイスと東南アジア人に謝りたい。
Why?
You should have asked about Ellen Page or Emma Watson I would date those girls.
+Hachikuji Mayoi Ellen Page is Canadian and Emma Watson is British :)
Yeah true, but gosh darn cute
+That Japanese Man Yuta And also Ellen Page is gay, though I suppose that doesn't matter. This is a good theme to continue with, I think. "Japanese guys react to British celebrities" would be cool to see as I am British :)
+That Japanese Man Yuta And also Ellen Page is gay, though I suppose that doesn't matter. This is a good theme to continue with, I think. "Japanese guys react to British celebrities" would be cool to see as I am British :)
Daniel Crocker I mean I am bisexual so yeah Ellen Page is my go to woman
They way they’re describing the qualities they think are positive sound identical to your typical female anime character
I hear so much about how North American men stereotype Asian women. It's interesting to hear the impressions these Japanese men have about western women. Thanks for the video. I love when I can take a legitimate peek into another culture.
I think it'd be interesting to see what people think of Latin American and North American indigenous people.
I love your videos! Some of these guys are really handsome, lol
But I wonder what they are really like! :)
this was really interesting, I hope you do more like this in the future it was cool to hear their different answers!
I really like the guy with the cute baby face and awkward but adorabz hairstyle at 5:57.I think he's really sweet!
also are they psychic or something?!?! How do they know all those just by looking at the videos.I think jpn people really value first impressions..even if they've never really met them in person lol.
Is it normal there to presuppose whole personality traits just based on how someone looks?
i just love the boys' hair
Japanese have a really good and straight hair
Amazing how they tried to guess the characteristics women have :D mostly guys would be looking how pretty they are without looking how women worked hard or how family life would look like with them.It was really cute to watch.Id say those guys sounded romantic
Dude said Mila kunis is fat!? In what universe
Asian universe lol
Wow... Japanese guys are so intuitive. =0
I AM a Southeast Asian(Malaysian) and I feel insulted. I like Japanese people but that guy kind of make me like them less now
+karmila faudzi It's just one dumbness. There are so many people with different types.. Southeast Asians are usually considered pretty (and have sweet personality) in Japan generally.
Cause they know SEA girls wont date them lol.
Did you ask them specifically what they thought the celebrities' personalities were? I'm just curious since the Japanese men comment more on personality than the looks of the women which I found to be very interesting and rather telling.
this was really interesting to watch. I really like listening to Japanese people talk
Why?
Looks like many East Asians like that. Yeah, Yuta, I understand. My country is just "Jungle Asians". It is nothing compared to "Fancy Asians".
My country identical to poor, dark skin, developing country.
PMKP KELAS A Where are you from? :)
"She would be a good cook" LMAOSKDNNDBD
Percentage of educated people in Japan is 100%.Even when they were put in one room with TV,they still read newspaper.No wonder they take even this seriously and have their way with words:)
Japanese read newspapers?
The elaborate stories they put behind these girls from just a glance at them 😂
They don't really seem to like strong women, do they? Prefer to be able to decide over their girlfriend, it seems.
They are Japanese men. They like Japanese girls ofc
why did i feel a bit sad when one of the guys said that Leslie Grace looked like southeast asian? he seemed dislike southeast asian girls or something? I am a southeast asian myself so I'm just curious haha.
I'm Southeast Asian too. My heart broke because now I know that I will be most likely deemed ugly in Japan. Hahaha. 😂
+Kaze Hamada maybe he hadnt known that the latest miss universe who is considered the most beautiful woman is from Southeast Asia hahaha *positive thinking*
+Kaze Hamada a lot of women that are considered to be the most beautiful in the world are south east Asian and every SEA girl I've ever seen has been ridiculously pretty so idk what's up with that guy probably narrow mindedness
+Kaze Hamada If that is really you in your profile, just want to let you know that you are beautiful. As are other southeast asian women I am sure.
The guy next to the one with the black beanie was so wise at the end 😂
can you do japanese women reacting to american male celebrities? and also a video about japanese reacting to bollywood actors/actresses?
Those were some interesting answers. On the one hand, they seemed to put as much focus on personality as they did on looks, even if they were just making wild guesses. On the other hand, their speculations about personality reveal a lot about the more sexist undercurrents in Japanese society.
I thought it was very telling that they were hung up on women who were career-oriented and might not become a baby-making machine. They seemed to want women who were docile, submissive, and very nurturing, with a bit of a spark to keep the mood light.
4:37 they seem to be very judgmental (in a bad way)
It's really interesting how they judge a persons personality or demeanor solely on looks alone. I mean everyone judges everyone initially on looks first, but its interesting when these men do it because they go a lot more in depth, even down to thinking that someone would be fun to hang out with at the beach even though there were no beaches or beach settings to influence that thought or that someone is egotistical and a bad person. I would have loved to see a more in depth interview to find out what made them come to their conclusions.
Haha I agree with the guy so much about Leslie's hair. Not a flattering hairstyle for her, but she is beautiful for sure. Very interesting! Can you do this and include more diverse celebrities? For example, Lupita, Tinashe, FKA Twigs, Yaya Dacosta and Rihanna!
