Good, with pranksters dying out I hope more countries ban these nuisance streamers. Johnny Somali wasnt the only one that caused this, many other IRL streamer were disgusting in Japan. Get 30% off your first box, plus a FREE gift, when you give Tiege Hanley a try at tiege.com/a&pjohnny
I don’t watch streamers so I don’t know much about irl streamers but I feel bad for normal people who would stream irl and not bother anyone, these idiots ruined it for everyone else
@@pIayingwithmahwii LOL, it's meant to be animated but YT won't allow animated icons. I drew it back in, like, 2016 or something. it's a really cartoony version of Sunstreaker yelling in frustration with his hand up!
It's such an overreaction, though. But it's also a very Japanese thing to do, stifle all diversity of thought and occupation. Johnny Somali is not the first live streamer in Japan, but it seems he'll be the last. what a shame.
I'm from Europe and have lived in Japan for 39 years, the last 34 in a lower income neighbourhood in the East Side of Tokyo. I'm 74 and feel safe walking the streets late at night. I see small kids walking home from school and young women jogging in the park at midnight, and I've never had anything stolen. We have local policemen in a police box in our neighbourhood, and they tell me that the only theft problem is with drunks who occasionally steal bicycles to ride home from the station - and when caught are shamefaced and contrite. The only guns that I have ever seen are police sidearms, and I've never seen a frearm drawn. My neighbours are polite and considerate, and the streets are clean and maintained. When I had been in the neighbourhood for a year and had got to know people I was very ill, and friends and neighbours came round with food and offers of help. This obnoxious Johnny Somali git and his ilk make me sick. He's an embarrassment to the US and to other foreigners in Japan, and I suspect that the US Embassy will be well pleased if he gets to spend some serious prison time before he is deported.
Japan is a weird place. I felt incredibly safe there even walking around at 4am at night. At the same time Japan issues warnings during exam weeks and has established additional female-only subways because women are sexually assaulted and filmed by men regularly. And then the Yakuza obviously control a sizable chunk of the market and society. The 99,99% conviction rate is also not a positive sign. A healthy justice system would show a lower conviction rate.
at least they did something about the sexual assault with the trains tho. In the US and UK women get sexually assaulted and raped on the train yet they don't do shit@@johnatola7731
Japan won't hold him indefinitely, however Japan has a 99% conviction rate and it's very likely he will be put into community service after a 2 year sentence. I hope he misbehaves in jail, cause that can extend his sentence dramatically
He will almost certainly not get any community service. He will, instead, be deported the minute his detention is complete. It wouldn't surprise me if they drove him straight from the prison to the airport.
99% is CRAZY. Just think how many innocent people are rotting in Japanese prison. I'd rather only convict 50-60% if it means no innocent people get time.
@@jimjason5146 There's a reason why Japan is seen as being one of the safest countries on Earth from a bystander perspective. It's not about potentially innocent convictions. It's about the effect that that level of conviction rate has on crime being perpetrated as a whole. When people know you can be convicted almost immediately, people become more careful and less likely to break the law. It's not perfect, but it obviously works.
@@jimjason5146it’s actually the opposite. They only usually arrest people when they witness the crime or when they’re 100% certain they committed the crime. That’s why it took so long for them to arrest him, because they just accumulated evidence until they could 100% convict him. So there’s more criminals on the streets. It’s a different judicial system than America.
I lived in Japan for nearly 20 years, anyone that goes over there disrespecting the culture deserves the hammer that comes with it. Japanese are some of the most respecftul, kind, generous, non rude people on the planet, they will go out there way to make sure they're not disturbing other people completely 180 compared to Americans.
I agree I have lived in Japan for 22 years and my kids are born here and they are the most respectful people I have ever lived with. I was born in Hiroshima and I was glad when I came home for good. They deal with crime seriously over here
that goes for any person visiting any foreign country.. if you don't show respect you deserve to be escorted back out of the country on your arse, I am Canadian and even when i visit USA i show respect and yankees are pretty much canadians with funny accents.. people who were raised right jsut show respect and get respect shown back.
@user-rl7mt4gh3o It's such a tiny fraction of the population it's not even worth mentioning. I'd be willing to bet it's a very large fraction of Americans. The difference is the culture centers around politeness and respect. You couldn't even work in japan if you don't have the level of politeness and kindness required, unless of course it's a bar or nightclub.
@user-rl7mt4gh3o I don't understand what any of that has to do with being friendly, respectful, or polite. There's plenty of older japanese women and men that don't like foreigners, but do they show it? Not very many. No one said it's a perfect society but the culture is far better than most countries, especially the US.
Meanwhile, PiewDiePie has been doing Vlogs in Japan for the last year or so and they are all positive and respectful. Leave these clowns in jail to rot for a bit.
@@nochipsonlycrisps8639 The n word thing wasn't a big deal. And don't tell me pewdiepie trying to pass t-series in subs is racist you have to be 10 years old
Leave it up to American mehn to mess it for literally everyone. So aggravating that they think in other countries they can get away with the shenanigans they get away with here.
@@dzy3030 It's literally American men, it's not offensive to acknowledge the truth because everyone else see's it. They're also the reason the Japanese think American's have body odor too💀.
I confirm what the lady said about the safety and politeness in Japan. It is a massive culture shock. People there mind their business and stay out the way, I WISH America was like Japan.
Could be but that would require massive reform to criminal justice system, about 1-2% of population would be seriously butt hurt, accountability would need to be upheld, ect. Will never happen. We allow things like freak shows in the streets while claiming freedom. We let criminals get away with crime. There are tradeoffs that would need to be made and we are to "woke" and soft on crime.
@@phillipjohnson4156 it has nothing to do with criminal justice reform and everything to do with upbringing and education, both of which is lacking in the US. they're brought up on a heavy dose of bullshit about freedom of rights and free speech and guns
@@Lastofthefreenames to some degree yes, but also, no not at all, you can leave your laptop on the side when you go to the bathroom. I dated a Korean girl for a while and she would just leave her stuff as if the uk was populated by angels. They have a much stricter legal system than we do.
@@Lastofthefreenames To be fair, the federal court system in the US has a 98% conviction rate, and I'm not entirely sure if the Japan number is federal or provincial. If it's provincial, I don't think it's particularly special.
Yeah, I read somewhere that those Phoenix Wright games were made as a satire of the Japanese judicial system because of the corruption. There's a lot of falsifying evidence in their system.
@@Clubsandwichchav it's especially bad knowing how Japan doesn't have many black visitors and we've got a controversial global image due to American gangs and African poverty that's showcased all over the media for years.
I think japan is near *always* outwardly kind. Keyword outwardly though. If the west is guilt culture, the east is shame culture. They’re very talk behind your back rather than say it to your face, culturally. Visiting Japan, and trying to live and ingratiate yourself within Japan are very different experiences for a foreigner imo. But that’s my experiences.
I've been traveling to Japan since the mid 90's, and I lived there for several years. Seeing these jackasses take advantage of the Japanese culture's politeness and patience passes me off! It makes me angry that people who celebrate Japanese culture will also be banned because of a few idiots, but I get that they want to stop this trend before it gets any worse.
There is an African proverb that says - The child of a king is a servant elsewhere. This principle will help you behave when you are in a foreign land.
I used to work for a Japanese company, before going over we had to take a 1 day seminar about what you can and cannot do. The one thing they focused on was "you can be held without being charged for 21 days." In short, they do not play games so you do not play games.
@@Mike-LitorisSoBig Not really, that would imply that its the harsh sentences that deter crime....and that's been proven false REPEATEDLY. Seriously, like every single time any study covers that it just cements it further. Japan has far less crime (for a multitude of reasons that would need a book to cover), is largely because in their population respect still actually means something. For instance it's incredibly rare to even see someone raising their voice to someone else. (before the pedants show up to tell me and everyone how japan isn't really perfect, etc.....get some reading comprehension because I never even remotely claimed that. There's definitely problems there, just like in every country. But the respect of others and their things isn't one of them, and quite frankly something A LOT our countries (mine def inlclueded...USA) could benefit from learning
@@joenobody5913 As someone that lived and worked there for over a decade, and still routinely visits, what you just said isn't true. I've routinely seen Japanese people raise their voice, fight publicly, and commit crimes. Sure, it is more rare than in Western countries, but it still happens and isn't as rare as you make it out to be. The big difference that I noticed was that when the Japanese police showed up, citizens were more docile - not because Japanese police were more willing to work with them, but because the stigma of being arrested was something they wanted to avoid. In fact, it is surprisingly easy for criminals to avoid getting caught in Japan - for such a small country, criminals can easily move to a different city and with absurdly outdated defamation laws, can hide in plain site without the fear of being exposed since even if they're guilty of a crime, they can sue someone for "outing" them publicly. If you don't know, a guy gr*aped a woman, was found guilty, she exposed him, and he sued her and won.
@@joenobody5913 Harsh sentences DO deter crime. They keep the offenders physically separated from society, which in turn keeps them from committing another one. You’re thinking too America-centric. People in the US aren’t afraid of the police and obviously they don’t respect them. People fear and respect the police in Japan. I would know, I lived there for two years. The hellish state of their prisons which make American prisons look like luxury is also a huge deterrent. You’ll never once hear someone in Japan talking back to a police officer saying “I know my rights”.
Japan's goal isn't to get him to court with the arrest. It's to keep him detained until he's considered an overstay. They can do that for a certain amount of time for each charge, release him, then re-arrest him for something else. Since he conveniently streamed all of his crimes, the police have a list of charges to go through for re-arresting. After that, they will turn him over to Japanese Immigration to deport him back to the US and ban him from re-entry due to being an overstay.
As a Somali man I too am happy Johnny Somali is in Jail and I hope he stays there for at least 3 years for all the people he hurt and bothered. This might be harsh but I see a lot of people in my community who always defend behaviour like this.
He's not even somali bro's ethiopian trying to make us look bad, he's a habesha coptic christian and tatted up i feel sorry for his parents glad he's locked up
@@extraordinarytips7384 is it? Either way bro, East is East and he looks too Somali Ngl… I’m even more happy his in Jail and I think 5 years should be the minimum time now…
I live in Japan. It’s not just foreign streamers that have been causing problems local Japanese streamers have also been doing things like drinking from soysauce bottles at sushi restaurants etc…. So now you cant get dishes for holding soysauce and they only give it to you in the small packets so a lot of business have changed how they operate because of streamers. I’m honestly glad they are banning IRL streaming here it’s a nuisance to be honest.
And what's even worse is that that person of the same race(mostly black people) get lumped into the same line with them even though they denounce the behavior themselves
But,but,but White are racist. Seems to me the last forty years all I heard is how Whites are racist. Even though the crime shows the opposite but what do I know, I'm a racist!
it's frustrating too bc as you can see in his streams, the people of Japan are a lot more patient and virtuous than places such as America, and for him to harass them so much to the point of where it's gotten is insane
I was 19 when I got stationed in South Korea for two years. I have to admit, now 34 and looking back, I'm ashamed of my behavior when I was there. I was not nearly as much of a nuisance as this twat bag Johnny, but enough of one to feel guilty about it. By the time I realized and started looking at the country and it's people for what it had to offer, it was too late. I was close to the end of my time over there and didn't get to experience the country in the ways I was supposed to. It was an incredible country with amazing people who were beyond friendly. Definitely missed out on a lot of experience over there and is certainly a regret of mine.
at least you learned from it and felt remorse for your behavior. I doubt Johnny learned anything he should have taken it more seriously when he upset the Japanese people.
Thanks for talking on this. It's a great realisation and it helps put life into perspective. I hope that when I travel I don't allow me ego to distract me from the true experience. Please continue to use your wisdom to help those who will listen.
What sucks is that their behavior is going to make it more difficult for other black and brown travelers. Small countries like Japan are already isolated and weary of visitors to begin with. They deserve any time they get.
Yup. Japan isn't exactly racist racist. *They are like the classy and polite racist* Or* I'm not obvious but obvious at the same time racist*. Or the * I am pretend to be nice* The younger gen are welcoming but the older ones are what I just said.
Exactly what I was thinking the whole time too. Especially when you travel outside the big metropolitan cities, the hostility factor is insane already, you know they're just going to associate us all with this disrespectful guy. Smh.
Japan and other asian countries (I'm personally thinking South Korea and China) are xenophobic to begin with, that's a feature of isolated places, and especially island nations (Grew up on one, they're hypernationalistic, and even skin color doesn't change the fact that you're an outsider). As a result, they're either consciously or unconsciously hyper discriminatory against each other, perhaps because of recent wars and warcrimes etc. But that all leads to foreigners misbehaving cementing a terrible image of any other foreigner, skin not even needing to become a factor to that. I think I've heard somewhere that white people get looked at as attractions, as opposed to wary glances in most of the world that doesn't have a large white population (Except maybe the middle east? I've heard the previous statement being true for most of Asia and Africa, but not from the middle east), so that's maybe a better reception than constant suspicion, but it'd be a dehumanizing experience nonetheless, you'd just be a little more mindfucked about what to feel about that reception vs the openly half hostile suspicion you might get if you're any other race or ethnicity.
@DawnAAA From what I've heard, the Japanese's national identity is much more tied to their ethnic identity. In the US, you can be from just about any ethnicity or country and people will at least consider you American. Japanese will only consider you truly Japanese if you are Japanese by race. You could live there your whole life and still be seen as somewhat of an outsider, but still be treated very politely.
I hope that he gets the max sentence. I am an African-American woman. I live in Japan (almost 5 years now). I want to live here as long as posible. I used to live in South Korea (4 years) and I have never had a problem in both places. The Japanese police treated him with too much respect.
honestly id love to move to japan, but from what ive been told its a place to visit not to move to. plus i dont speak a lick of Japanese, languages like that are hard for me to speak, cant ever get words right
This is a disgusting buck dancing comment. Always ticks me when black people are so ashamed of who they are that they try to assimilate into an entirely different society, throw their identity away, then turn on their own race. Yuck.
6:38 99.8% You do have to remember that Japanese police can detain you for weeks while constantly interrogating you to get a confession. So even is someone not guilty, they often just confess to get it over with. And once they get a confession (true or not) it's near impossible to get that overturned in court since lawyers who defend the accused are looked down upon.
Truth. In the US, you can only be held for 3 days before you must be brought before a judge for a hearing to determine bail. In Japan, if I remember correctly, you can be held for 23 days before anything has to be done.
The US federal conviction rate is 99.6%. They only take cases to trial that they are sure they're going to win. This has its ups and downs- some crimes that really should be tried never are, because prosecutors don't want to take cases that aren't easy wins. On the other hand, a lot of "small stuff" just gets settled with a talk with the police and an apology, which might be a good thing. Japan has a pretty small prisoner population- only 46k compared to the US's 1.2 million.
I am glad someone brought that up, because I saw a video talking to a Japanese lawyer about this. They let you cook until you just plead guilty, even if you didn't do it.
As a Japanese person, I feel extremely sorry for this incident, and at the same time, I absolutely cannot forgive any act that makes fun of Japanese people. In order to live freely in Japan, order must be maintained, but it is a sad fact that in recent years, immigrants doing whatever they want with their own culture have become a social problem in Japan as well. Looking at everyone's comments, I feel relieved that there are many people who are critical of Johnny's actions, and there are still many people who value respect for others. If you are planning a trip to Japan, please enjoy your trip.
Be mindful in other countries especially with social media. I live in Bahrain for some years. A neighbor on same floor got picked up for making disparaging remarks about the monarchy on twitter. Never saw him again. We wasn’t close so don’t know if deported, moved, etc.
a lot of people think the human rights we have in america are human rights globally, theyre really just american rights, not everywhere is as forgiving as america my dad always tells me, be on your best behavior in other countries. except he says "dont fuck around over there, got that? they will and can throw you in jail indefinitely.
@@Mikeygamer1 I couldn’t believe how entitled people acted when Brittany Griner got arrested in Russia for drug possession. So many people were crying about human rights like “iT’s LeGaL hErE aNd tHiS iS unJuSt!” Like bruh, her career involves a lot of traveling so she definitely knew better than to carry _any_ type of drug on her outside of the US, especially knowing how strict Russian laws are. Her arrest was her own damn fault. Some people just *cannot* comprehend that American laws will NOT protect you on foreign soil because you’re in _another_ country and need to abide by _their_ laws. Imagine going to someone’s house and being like, “I’m going to jump on your sofas and have a smoke inside because I do this at home.” If following rules is too much to ask, then people should just stay home and not travel. I don’t feel any sympathy for people like this that f around in other countries and then cry about their human rights because they thought they could do whatever they wanted and not suffer any consequences.

I know, I'm just wondering how this would affect CDawgva when he does IRL streams where he shows Ironmouse around Japan. And not just him but the TH-camrs who live in japan like Chris Broad or TheAnimeMan.
Here in Japan, the police are very much a respected part of the community. When a crime is committed and that is detected by the police, officers are tasked with knocking on every single door in the chome (neighborhood), to ensure that every household is made aware of the crime, as well as to gather information that can help them catch the culprits. This makes them something of a local news network, and it also means that everyone knows their local police officers, and all of the local police officers know everyone in their chome. It is why the police here are so effective.
Not enough people actually participate in civil society, and by that I mean keeping their officials in check. Do you really feel "represented" by your 'representatives'?
can someone explain to me what he actually did aside from being annoying? sure he's a bad person, but i don't know if i want to live in a society where you can go to prison for the vague crime of "being a nuisance" -- which can mean Whatever the people in power Want it to mean. scarily authoritarian. again, if he did something worse than being a nuisance i'm completely willing to amend my opinion on this
@@pIayingwithmahwiihow much should people have to tolerate? If someone's goal is explicitly to harass the public how long should the public have to put up with that
I lived in Okinawa for 3 1/2 years due to military reasons. It’s so sad how one bad apple can make us look so bad as a whole. We had a major base shut down for 2 months because of some disgusting actions committed by an American. We are often portrayed as loud, rude, and just overall too much. The one thing that used to get me was how ignorant a lot of us are when it comes to other cultures and how we expect to assimilate to our culture. I have seen Americans get frustrated at the Okinawa because THEY don’t speak English in THEIR own country. It’s businesses that don’t even want us there. I’ve seen people get frustrated about the fact that some places won’t take AMERICAN dollars instead of yen in THEIR country. It’s crazy and sad.
there are at leats 2 kinds of "american"(more like european because the ruling classes in both are european) dollars, canadian and usakistani. i'm asuming you're usakistani because of your misuse of the word american. so let me ask you. are there many businesses in usakistan that take malaysian ringgit as a payment method? if not, the why would anyone else take YOUR currency in their own country? while trying to pretend that you are any different from the guy in the video you showed that you're exactly the same as him. lourd, rude, and injustifiably arrogant. also usakistanis are not americans. you are mostly europeans with some africans. the only americans there either speak spanish or were reduced to "reservations" by the slavers, and their lands were never returned to them.
Americans continue to emphasize their stereotype of being ignorant and entitled. We try to not judge you all by that, but stuff like this makes it extremely hard. It is weird Americans also claim to be expert activists on anti-racism, while also being this ignorant of other cultures...
I must say that a lot of states in the US that suffer from high crime do not have the same freedoms as what is portrayed compared to states those of lower crime rates. It’s a really hard topic to talk about knowing that a lot of DAs are sentencing high crimes with lower punishment or if they are punished at all. We are a crumbling judicial system IMO
It sucks because they’re ruining it for IRL streamers that love Japan, like Aba said, doing a IRL stream going to the grocery store, you do that, and everyone sees you as if your one of the weird public disturbance streamers
To be fair irl streaming is obnoxious and stupid even if you don't aim to bother people. Random don't want to be recorded, they don't want to hear talk to your camera when they try to do shopping or are eating something. In USA it may be normal and ok because Americans love being loud and they love to standout and get attention but for the rest of planet it's dumb and obnoxious in itself.
People like Logan Paul and Johnny Somali give American tourists a really bad rep. I’ve always wanted to go to Japan and I hate thinking that people might have a pre conceived notion of me because of a couple doorknobs.
I'm black and I was in Japan as this stuff started going viral. Japanese people were still nice. Just don't act a fool and you'll be fine. Especially in Tokyo it's not uncommon to see foreigners who clearly aren't tourists, so these streamers can't single-handedly represent us.
"Logan Paul and Johnny Somali give American tourists" Ask yourself why it is that American tourists are considered to be among the worst in the world then ? Is it only because of these two guys ? Or is it because you go to foreign places, act like you're at home spreading your trash culture everywhere you go, then portraying yourselves as victims when the locals tell you to stop.
Man… I’ve been in Japan for 16 years and streaming for 10 years. I almost never did IRL cause I always felt weird doing it having become accustomed to the social customs of Japan. I see the logic of it when you sit in a train or a bus and are quiet because others are tired and you all are confined to a small space with people whom you don’t know and who have to commute to work like this every day, exhausted, it only makes sense to think of others and to be polite by being quiet and courteous and with it, you will be shown the same. I always pointed the camera away from people, I always asked the shops if it’s ok to film and I told my audience that I won’t be talking on the busses or trains and if they don’t like it, that’s too bad. I know many great IRL streamers who do the same here in Japan and because they aren’t obnoxious they don’t get that many views. It’s a huge pity how people have glorified and with it promoted and now destroyed the opportunity to even livestream and genuinely show the sweet and wonderfully beautiful side of Japan.
The high conviction rate is not because the Japanese justice system is unfair, but because Japanese prosecutors don't take cases to court unless it's serious and the evidence is damning, otherwise they'll just arrest you and let you go with a warning, which is clearly what happened to this guy until they had enough.
People would just fold up and Amit to anything because of how aggressive there detention/being held for is it known that that isn’t a pleasant experience
True, sure that's how they maintain a high conviction rate if it goes to court, but don't mistake that as a if not absolutely sure of a conviction then they go soft on you when they have laws like the Japanese police can arrest and hold you without charge for 23 days. DAYS! Nothing like the 72 hours max in the US or 24 Hrs here in the UK (with request for extension to 36 or 96 hrs in exceptional cases)
Japan looking more attractive as time goes on. "Ignorance of the law is not an excuse for breaking it." It actually is a legal argument in many countries, but its not a defense you can use over and over.
When I heard what Johnny was doing, it made me so angry on behalf of the Japanese people who had to put up with that stupidity. And upon hearing how they were dragging him around, jumping him, etc. I couldn't even be mad at them. When you were young and went out with your parents, you were taught to behave, don't touch anything, be respectful and quiet. It didn't matter if you knew the person or not and if you did misbehave, you knew the MOMENT you got in the car, you were in for a world of hurt. It's the same principle when visiting another country but instead of your mother, it's their justice system.
Hey thanks giving credit to Decoy Voice and linking to his original video! He is a great youtuber who makes great videos! He deserves much more subs cause his videos are well informed and done very well. Great source of info!
Their country, their rules. When you're a guest, you respect their people, their government, and their environments, or you can stay TF out. What's not an option is to go over to a peace loving country, like Japan, and disrupt everyone's life simply because you think you have some kind of diplomatic immunity due to where you're from.
I’m an American who lives in Japan, I’ve been here for roughly 10 years. I’m glad he’s in jail and I, the same, feel no sympathy for him… I hope they only feed him fermented fish for his stay in prison.
Most of Canada you do need to lock your door. I grew up in 🇨🇦 in a town where a skeleton key would open half the houses, a few no locks. We locked the door to go on holidays. For decades now the doors are locked in the day. Isn't multiculturalism great!! 🇨🇦
Japan has a reputation for being one of the safest countries in the world. There is a reason they are this safe. Yakuza is still there but their power has severely diminished over the last 20 years due to competent policing. Japan highly values this status and that’s why they do not go soft on criminals, especially tourists like Johnny Also, a lot of Yakuza guys and other Japanese crooks are probably in jail with him because of all I mentioned so he won’t have a fun time.
Yakuza never diminished. They simply became part of the major conglomerates and government. This is what i heard when i lived in the Chubu region, but it will never be documented, due to how it would look to global powers
@@theinktician the number of Street thugs they used to have did go down a lot, but if that is where they shifted their power then they don’t even need them
@@theinktician You are correct, the shift began in the 90s, they started to move towards legitimizing their business interests, usually with a very heavy hand that works due to the odd system of laws in Japan. Also, I'll tell you that the Japanese police have ALWAYS been open to corruption, just like any other group of people - Japanese "soap lands" are illegal, but advertise openly, along with other things that are also illegal. I lived and worked there for over a decade and can tell you that the system is VERY corrupt, and in such a small country it is ridiculously easy for criminals to simply "disappear" with no consequences.
I saw these guys while I was getting ready to go to Japan in October and I felt horrible. the whole time I was there I tried so hard to make sure that I didn't look anything like these guys and felt eyes on me the whole time. F these streamers, Put them under the jail.
I did three months in Japanese prison for practicing my home botany project. I can guarantee you, he’s going to lose a LOT of weight. And I got news for you, they don’t feed you burgers 🍔 and fries 🍟 from McDonald’s in jail. More like fish heads and rice. Enjoy your time…oh, and he better hope there’s no Yakuza guys around where he’s locked up, or he’ll WISH he was in Solitary…”Have a nice day”
This is what frustrates me about people traveling abroad, especially people from the US: Exceptionalism. I remember some lady (traveled from the south) in Japan complaining about staff in a McDonalds not speaking English, as if it should be the universal language. It isn't. Anyone with a reasonable amount of intelligence should know the language of the country they're traveling to on an elementary level. That also brings to light, if you noticed, most IRL streamers that are committing crimes are staying away, as if they don't want to find out after fucking around. Go figure.
I agree with you on knowing that English is not a universal language. If anything the French language, I believe, still holds control still at this time. However, trying to have elementary level skill (conversational level) in EVERY language if you travel abroad might be too much. A single trip to Europe and traveling from Germany to France to Italy would be 3 additional languages right there. Now, I'm not saying that someone shouldn't put in the effort to learn, they should. But, they better make sure that they have a translation book in their hand if they want to travel or speak to the citizens. For example, my college professor once mentioned that there would be a summer internship in Germany, I applied and went. But the time frame to learn a new language was too short. But I KNEW that I wouldn't survive there if I didn't have a translation book with me at all times. What was surprising to me at that time, was how much English was actually there. English was a mandatory language taught in their schooling, so most waved my translation book away and straight up asked me in English. There was only one time that I needed the book fully.

My mom visited Japan back in the 80s, and before they enter the country, the tour had a sit-down dinner with the group to explain Japanese law culture , social customs and because they did that she had a great time no problems, because she knew what to expect. What a lot of these influencers who stream IRL don't remember or realize you are in a different country, with different rules and expectations. As long as you remember that no problem, when you don't you end up in exactly the kind of situation Johnny Somali is facing right now. To put it another way the state department will tell you flat out up front" this is not America" you are playing under different rules and the host country has the ball and the bat, and knows the game better than you do the US Embassy has better things to do than dealing with you because you did something stupid because you thought you were still in the United States and thought you could get away with the same behavior
As a Canadian who traveled a lot in my 20's, I can honestly say I've never had issues in any country I've visited. However I have been profiled as an "American," in many places due to the accent and when some people overseas think you're American, then you can expect a negative attitude from some. I always wore a small Canadian flag pin and gave them away as gifts and yes once people knew I was Canadian, the attitude was far more friendly. I always tried to learn some local phrases and NEVER acted out, got loud or showed any disrespect for the people, the country or culture.
As an American who lived in Mexico from age 14-24. If I was ever kidnapped you better believe I was going to claim Canadian citizenship. No joke. My father explained how important it was to not advertise being American.
As a non-American, we're very aware of the fact that many Americans wear a maple leaf to pretend they're Canadian. It doesn't actually matter, just be nice 😂
@@ericdpeerik3928 The Maple Leaf is the ice breaker but the attitude is the best way of staying on the right side of locals. Drunk Brits have a very bad reputation overseas as well.
@@ericdpeerik3928 I've seen that too, three American service men in Paris, all wearing Canadian NFL jerseys. When I went towards them to talk, thinking they were from one of our bases, I could hear the very loud and distinct Southern Drawl. So I turned around and walked away.
I'm glad they added this law. Too many internet personalities are going to countries and taking advantage of the people and being extremely disrespectful. I've heard lots of appalling stories from Bali too.
When he was given a warning by the local Yakuza to respect the Japanese culture , that should of been a major life lesson. And taken to heart he chose to ignore the warning, may he stay put in prison until,he learns his lesson.
The 99.8% conviction rate is for cases that *go to trial*, which is relatively few. Compare to the US federal conviction rate of 99.6%. Basically, they only prosecute the cases they know they're going to win. To illustrate this- Japan's prisoner population is under 46,000, compared to the US's over 1.2 million. Japan has over 1/3rd the population of the US, but less than 1/26th of the prisoners. Basically a 10x lower rate of incarceration per capita.
You should see all the sexual abuse crimes in Japan that never go to trial. It's wild. It would definitely change the crime statistics of Japan if they actually followed through.
@@perrywinkle5000 That is not possible. Countries with high murder rates also have high sex crimes at the same time. Japan's murder rate is about 1/100th that of the United States. In fact, it is normal for women to walk around late at night in Japan.
I’ve been to Japan multiple times before the pandemic. Only had ONE instance where a woman didn’t want me in her store because i was a forgiener. Sadly what these types of ppl have done is increase that probability. Japan isn’t racist, they just know you’re culturally different and they treat you according to that and how you present yourself. But this will leave a bad taste with anyone going there now.
Even if they were racist it's okay, Nations of Eastern civilization don't generally go into North America and cause trouble, it's typical for Americans to harass people world wide not the other way around.
I was aware of the IRL Streamer nuisance back last year when they all started going to Japan as the next hot spot for everybody to travel to for Instagram photos/video content. Japan was always the one country I wanted to visit and now I feel like I gotta respectfully just not go due to all of these idiots ruining the place with their mere presence.
I live in Japan and would not want to find myself on the wrong side of the law. The high conviction rate does not mean all those in prison are guilty. The police keep you for 23 days without even a phone call, using that time to constantly interrogate you and break you down into confessing. They can always think of an excuse to keep you for another 23 days, rinse and repeat. It's not high level police work that gets the conviction rate, it's coerced confessions. I heard of a case where a guy was accused of stealing some money off of a table in a bank (where you write out your deposit slip). He said he didn't do it and the cctv was just out of frame to prove otherwise. The judge said "But you could have done it". There's some next level justice for you.
Japan needs to change what type of society is that?? Kores had scandles but its a new low ewhen even judges lack that much of a spine they just rule someone has guility disguting
THANK YOU!!!! I was gonna reply something similar. That conviction rate is faulty as FUCK! Over there the prosecutors hate looking like they’re wrong. I’ve seen stories that even after new evidence was brought to light they STILL kept the same verdict all because they didn’t want that conviction rate to go down. It’s like a badge of honor for them. They value that higher than justice. So many people falsely imprisoned.
I read an article about an American who came over to visit his son and daughter in law. He went into a Koban (they are small Police Stations with just a couple of officers) to ask for directions. The officer, strangely enough, asked if he had a knife, which he did, a small pocket knife. He was promptly arrested because the blade was over the allowed 5-6cm. It took ten days and a lot of haggling to get him out of jail, just ridiculous. BTW, the stupid knife laws are like the U.S. gun laws, useless. They still stab each other with kitchen knives a lot longer than 5-6cm.@@Blackstari
@@cbftoan01 Bro don’t they have a crazy sexual assault culture over there? Like the ratio of women that get molested on trains is like 4 in 5 or some crazy shit. When they try to tell police the police just shoo them away or act like it’s their fault so most don’t even report it because it’s just gonna get them ostracized and the culprit won’t even be charged. Not to mention power dynamics in the work place is downright horrific as well. They treat employees like slaves in some instances and if you don’t comply then you’re made out to be a horrible employee. People don’t realize that the grass isn’t always greener. Everywhere has its upsides and downsides.
I'm currently living in South Korea and it's honestly kind of radicalized me on crime. This country is so unbelievably safe that a ton of shops here are basically unmanned and you are just expected to check out. There are almost no schizos or psychos walking around and if you ask basically any woman here they'll tell you they feel safe walking alone here, even at night. It has everything to do with not only how tough the laws are on crime here but the fact that being a criminal is seen as not only an embarrassment for you, that will destroy you, but an embarrassment for your entire family and friends. You can argue it's probably too harsh and I might agree because people should be allowed to make mistakes. But honestly, there's no fucking crime and clearly this culture works.
The only people that hate that mentality... are the one who want to rampage and loot with no repercussions. Don't get me wrong, there is such a thing as dirty cops, but the ones shouting loudest about hating law enforcement are the ones who keep doing things that have them deal with law enforcement.
depends on the irl streamers imo. some people are respectful about it but unfortunately there’s a lot of people that aren’t which put a bad rep for the others

Then the refugees from Syria happened (most of them werent even from Syria, but Afghanistan and other Islamic countries), criminality jumped higher and people now lock their cars and homes. Even post and parcel delivery had to change their delivery services.
As an American living in Japan for 4 years now, it is not hard to not get into trouble or any other unwanted situations here. That is true especially in more rural areas where I'm at. Japan is a very comfortable country to live in. You literally have to be an idiot to really mess up here. They are very harsh with a lot of stuff, especially drugs, but as long as you aren't putting a bright red target on your back, you'll be fine.
I’ve been living in Japan for five years, and that conviction rate scares the shit out of us foreigners and also the locals here. That’s why it’s very very safe. It’s rare that there’s a murder here
This is why Pewdiepie retired in Japan. Japan is very chill. People will not care about you. Well, he's an introvert, and Japan is perfect for him. He's living quietly doing vlogs once in a while. No locals will harass you on the street.
I'm tired of these so called "Prankster streamers." I've seen real pranksters who were funny or are funny. These guys just want an excuse to be idiots because they lack self control💯
True. There are a couple of prankster streamers from South Korea that I like. But, their pranks aren't aggressive or humiliating/threatening towards bystanders. Instead, they'll set up some sort of ridiculous or unexpected scenario with one or more actors and then film the reactions of the bystanders.
I wanna move to Japan now. Less likely to run into “influencers” behaving like idiots in public. Yes I know the criminal system is rigged. They do everything they can to get a confession, guilty or not. But living in the pretty countryside away from people sounds nice.
I don’t blame the Japanese. I’ve spent time in Japan and Thailand, and it’s super frustrating coming back to the west. Where disrespect is the norm. I honestly can’t wait to go back to Thailand.
I was touring for my music across America some years ago & we stopped by one of my rap group members' aunt's house to visit & have dinner. She told us to spend the night instead of paying for a hotel & she cooked us breakfast before we left to travel to the next city / show. She gave us breakfast & said goodbye as she had to run errands. When we were going to leave, we noticed many windows & doors open. We called to ask her if she wanted us to lock up & she said "No, this is rural Maryland, not Miami where yall are from. Its okay." so we just left everything as is. As someone who grew up in South Florida, like Miami / Fort Lauderdale, that was craaaaaaazy to me lol.

It's such an overreaction, though. But it's also a very Japanese thing to do, stifle all diversity of thought and occupation. Johnny Somali is not the first live streamer in Japan, but it seems he'll be the last. what a shame.
I'm from Europe and have lived in Japan for 39 years, the last 34 in a lower income neighbourhood in the East Side of Tokyo. I'm 74 and feel safe walking the streets late at night. I see small kids walking home from school and young women jogging in the park at midnight, and I've never had anything stolen. We have local policemen in a police box in our neighbourhood, and they tell me that the only theft problem is with drunks who occasionally steal bicycles to ride home from the station - and when caught are shamefaced and contrite. The only guns that I have ever seen are police sidearms, and I've never seen a frearm drawn.
My neighbours are polite and considerate, and the streets are clean and maintained.
When I had been in the neighbourhood for a year and had got to know people I was very ill, and friends and neighbours came round with food and offers of help.
This obnoxious Johnny Somali git and his ilk make me sick. He's an embarrassment to the US and to other foreigners in Japan, and I suspect that the US Embassy will be well pleased if he gets to spend some serious prison time before he is deported.
Every country has a bad side
Japan is a weird place. I felt incredibly safe there even walking around at 4am at night. At the same time Japan issues warnings during exam weeks and has established additional female-only subways because women are sexually assaulted and filmed by men regularly. And then the Yakuza obviously control a sizable chunk of the market and society. The 99,99% conviction rate is also not a positive sign. A healthy justice system would show a lower conviction rate.

Japan won't hold him indefinitely, however Japan has a 99% conviction rate and it's very likely he will be put into community service after a 2 year sentence. I hope he misbehaves in jail, cause that can extend his sentence dramatically
He will almost certainly not get any community service. He will, instead, be deported the minute his detention is complete. It wouldn't surprise me if they drove him straight from the prison to the airport.
@@saldiven2009 Japan typically requires you to pay for your own deportation, at least the first time
99% is CRAZY. Just think how many innocent people are rotting in Japanese prison. I'd rather only convict 50-60% if it means no innocent people get time.
@@jimjason5146 There's a reason why Japan is seen as being one of the safest countries on Earth from a bystander perspective. It's not about potentially innocent convictions. It's about the effect that that level of conviction rate has on crime being perpetrated as a whole. When people know you can be convicted almost immediately, people become more careful and less likely to break the law. It's not perfect, but it obviously works.
@@jimjason5146it’s actually the opposite. They only usually arrest people when they witness the crime or when they’re 100% certain they committed the crime. That’s why it took so long for them to arrest him, because they just accumulated evidence until they could 100% convict him. So there’s more criminals on the streets. It’s a different judicial system than America.
I lived in Japan for nearly 20 years, anyone that goes over there disrespecting the culture deserves the hammer that comes with it. Japanese are some of the most respecftul, kind, generous, non rude people on the planet, they will go out there way to make sure they're not disturbing other people completely 180 compared to Americans.
I agree I have lived in Japan for 22 years and my kids are born here and they are the most respectful people I have ever lived with. I was born in Hiroshima and I was glad when I came home for good. They deal with crime seriously over here
You don't disrespect the local culture where you travel! Period.
that goes for any person visiting any foreign country.. if you don't show respect you deserve to be escorted back out of the country on your arse, I am Canadian and even when i visit USA i show respect and yankees are pretty much canadians with funny accents.. people who were raised right jsut show respect and get respect shown back.
@user-rl7mt4gh3o It's such a tiny fraction of the population it's not even worth mentioning. I'd be willing to bet it's a very large fraction of Americans. The difference is the culture centers around politeness and respect. You couldn't even work in japan if you don't have the level of politeness and kindness required, unless of course it's a bar or nightclub.
@user-rl7mt4gh3o I don't understand what any of that has to do with being friendly, respectful, or polite. There's plenty of older japanese women and men that don't like foreigners, but do they show it? Not very many. No one said it's a perfect society but the culture is far better than most countries, especially the US.

One reason why crime-rates in Japan are LOW low.
@@Mike-LitorisSoBig Not really, that would imply that its the harsh sentences that deter crime....and that's been proven false REPEATEDLY. Seriously, like every single time any study covers that it just cements it further. Japan has far less crime (for a multitude of reasons that would need a book to cover), is largely because in their population respect still actually means something. For instance it's incredibly rare to even see someone raising their voice to someone else. (before the pedants show up to tell me and everyone how japan isn't really perfect, etc.....get some reading comprehension because I never even remotely claimed that. There's definitely problems there, just like in every country. But the respect of others and their things isn't one of them, and quite frankly something A LOT our countries (mine def inlclueded...USA) could benefit from learning
@@joenobody5913 As someone that lived and worked there for over a decade, and still routinely visits, what you just said isn't true. I've routinely seen Japanese people raise their voice, fight publicly, and commit crimes. Sure, it is more rare than in Western countries, but it still happens and isn't as rare as you make it out to be. The big difference that I noticed was that when the Japanese police showed up, citizens were more docile - not because Japanese police were more willing to work with them, but because the stigma of being arrested was something they wanted to avoid. In fact, it is surprisingly easy for criminals to avoid getting caught in Japan - for such a small country, criminals can easily move to a different city and with absurdly outdated defamation laws, can hide in plain site without the fear of being exposed since even if they're guilty of a crime, they can sue someone for "outing" them publicly. If you don't know, a guy gr*aped a woman, was found guilty, she exposed him, and he sued her and won.
@@joenobody5913
Harsh sentences DO deter crime. They keep the offenders physically separated from society, which in turn keeps them from committing another one. You’re thinking too America-centric. People in the US aren’t afraid of the police and obviously they don’t respect them. People fear and respect the police in Japan. I would know, I lived there for two years. The hellish state of their prisons which make American prisons look like luxury is also a huge deterrent. You’ll never once hear someone in Japan talking back to a police officer saying “I know my rights”.
@@Mike-LitorisSoBig Perhaps a slight reason. But I think there is more to it than that.
"I'm fresh. I'm fit. I'm moisturized and I'm monetized." I cannot 🤣
Japan's goal isn't to get him to court with the arrest. It's to keep him detained until he's considered an overstay. They can do that for a certain amount of time for each charge, release him, then re-arrest him for something else. Since he conveniently streamed all of his crimes, the police have a list of charges to go through for re-arresting. After that, they will turn him over to Japanese Immigration to deport him back to the US and ban him from re-entry due to being an overstay.

By the time I realized and started looking at the country and it's people for what it had to offer, it was too late. I was close to the end of my time over there and didn't get to experience the country in the ways I was supposed to. It was an incredible country with amazing people who were beyond friendly. Definitely missed out on a lot of experience over there and is certainly a regret of mine.
at least you learned from it and felt remorse for your behavior. I doubt Johnny learned anything he should have taken it more seriously when he upset the Japanese people.

Exactly what I was thinking the whole time too. Especially when you travel outside the big metropolitan cities, the hostility factor is insane already, you know they're just going to associate us all with this disrespectful guy. Smh.
Japan and other asian countries (I'm personally thinking South Korea and China) are xenophobic to begin with, that's a feature of isolated places, and especially island nations (Grew up on one, they're hypernationalistic, and even skin color doesn't change the fact that you're an outsider). As a result, they're either consciously or unconsciously hyper discriminatory against each other, perhaps because of recent wars and warcrimes etc. But that all leads to foreigners misbehaving cementing a terrible image of any other foreigner, skin not even needing to become a factor to that.
I think I've heard somewhere that white people get looked at as attractions, as opposed to wary glances in most of the world that doesn't have a large white population (Except maybe the middle east? I've heard the previous statement being true for most of Asia and Africa, but not from the middle east), so that's maybe a better reception than constant suspicion, but it'd be a dehumanizing experience nonetheless, you'd just be a little more mindfucked about what to feel about that reception vs the openly half hostile suspicion you might get if you're any other race or ethnicity.
@@DawnAAAxenophobic is the word
@DawnAAA From what I've heard, the Japanese's national identity is much more tied to their ethnic identity. In the US, you can be from just about any ethnicity or country and people will at least consider you American. Japanese will only consider you truly Japanese if you are Japanese by race. You could live there your whole life and still be seen as somewhat of an outsider, but still be treated very politely.
I hope that he gets the max sentence. I am an African-American woman. I live in Japan (almost 5 years now). I want to live here as long as posible. I used to live in South Korea (4 years) and I have never had a problem in both places. The Japanese police treated him with too much respect.
I agree. I lived in Japan for two years! I love Japan. 🇯🇵
honestly id love to move to japan, but from what ive been told its a place to visit not to move to. plus i dont speak a lick of Japanese, languages like that are hard for me to speak, cant ever get words right
This is a disgusting buck dancing comment. Always ticks me when black people are so ashamed of who they are that they try to assimilate into an entirely different society, throw their identity away, then turn on their own race. Yuck.
If only the w est also started applying strict laws like Japan did
American men are gonna ruin it for all of us lol, thinking other countries will tolerate what they're allowed to do and say here.
Social media "pranksters" are the bottom of the barrel, and that's saying something.
I was in Tokyo last week, and I saw a man trying to IRL until the local police were forcing him to stop. Happy to see that they are banning this.
6:38 99.8% You do have to remember that Japanese police can detain you for weeks while constantly interrogating you to get a confession. So even is someone not guilty, they often just confess to get it over with.
And once they get a confession (true or not) it's near impossible to get that overturned in court since lawyers who defend the accused are looked down upon.
Truth. In the US, you can only be held for 3 days before you must be brought before a judge for a hearing to determine bail. In Japan, if I remember correctly, you can be held for 23 days before anything has to be done.
The US federal conviction rate is 99.6%. They only take cases to trial that they are sure they're going to win. This has its ups and downs- some crimes that really should be tried never are, because prosecutors don't want to take cases that aren't easy wins. On the other hand, a lot of "small stuff" just gets settled with a talk with the police and an apology, which might be a good thing. Japan has a pretty small prisoner population- only 46k compared to the US's 1.2 million.
I am glad someone brought that up, because I saw a video talking to a Japanese lawyer about this. They let you cook until you just plead guilty, even if you didn't do it.
That rang in my head when I saw the conviction rate.
As a Japanese person, I feel extremely sorry for this incident, and at the same time, I absolutely cannot forgive any act that makes fun of Japanese people. In order to live freely in Japan, order must be maintained, but it is a sad fact that in recent years, immigrants doing whatever they want with their own culture have become a social problem in Japan as well.
Looking at everyone's comments, I feel relieved that there are many people who are critical of Johnny's actions, and there are still many people who value respect for others.
If you are planning a trip to Japan, please enjoy your trip.
As an American person this is corny but know assholes like this are despised.
Be mindful in other countries especially with social media. I live in Bahrain for some years. A neighbor on same floor got picked up for making disparaging remarks about the monarchy on twitter. Never saw him again. We wasn’t close so don’t know if deported, moved, etc.

Her arrest was her own damn fault. Some people just *cannot* comprehend that American laws will NOT protect you on foreign soil because you’re in _another_ country and need to abide by _their_ laws. Imagine going to someone’s house and being like, “I’m going to jump on your sofas and have a smoke inside because I do this at home.” If following rules is too much to ask, then people should just stay home and not travel. I don’t feel any sympathy for people like this that f around in other countries and then cry about their human rights because they thought they could do whatever they wanted and not suffer any consequences.

I know, I'm just wondering how this would affect CDawgva when he does IRL streams where he shows Ironmouse around Japan. And not just him but the TH-camrs who live in japan like Chris Broad or TheAnimeMan.
Here in Japan, the police are very much a respected part of the community. When a crime is committed and that is detected by the police, officers are tasked with knocking on every single door in the chome (neighborhood), to ensure that every household is made aware of the crime, as well as to gather information that can help them catch the culprits. This makes them something of a local news network, and it also means that everyone knows their local police officers, and all of the local police officers know everyone in their chome. It is why the police here are so effective.
If only we could have real consequences for the bozos in the western world.
Not enough people actually participate in civil society, and by that I mean keeping their officials in check. Do you really feel "represented" by your 'representatives'?

I lived in Okinawa for 3 1/2 years due to military reasons. It’s so sad how one bad apple can make us look so bad as a whole. We had a major base shut down for 2 months because of some disgusting actions committed by an American. We are often portrayed as loud, rude, and just overall too much. The one thing that used to get me was how ignorant a lot of us are when it comes to other cultures and how we expect to assimilate to our culture. I have seen Americans get frustrated at the Okinawa because THEY don’t speak English in THEIR own country. It’s businesses that don’t even want us there. I’ve seen people get frustrated about the fact that some places won’t take AMERICAN dollars instead of yen in THEIR country. It’s crazy and sad.
there are at leats 2 kinds of "american"(more like european because the ruling classes in both are european) dollars, canadian and usakistani.
i'm asuming you're usakistani because of your misuse of the word american.
so let me ask you.
are there many businesses in usakistan that take malaysian ringgit as a payment method?
if not, the why would anyone else take YOUR currency in their own country?
while trying to pretend that you are any different from the guy in the video you showed that you're exactly the same as him.
lourd, rude, and injustifiably arrogant.
also usakistanis are not americans. you are mostly europeans with some africans. the only americans there either speak spanish or were reduced to "reservations" by the slavers, and their lands were never returned to them.
“Loud, rude, and overall too much” and these people who never left stateside decided to elect trump to……reinforce that 😂

Yes this!🇺🇸
Americans continue to emphasize their stereotype of being ignorant and entitled. We try to not judge you all by that, but stuff like this makes it extremely hard. It is weird Americans also claim to be expert activists on anti-racism, while also being this ignorant of other cultures...
I must say that a lot of states in the US that suffer from high crime do not have the same freedoms as what is portrayed compared to states those of lower crime rates. It’s a really hard topic to talk about knowing that a lot of DAs are sentencing high crimes with lower punishment or if they are punished at all. We are a crumbling judicial system IMO

Those clowns deserves jail time, period.

UPDATE needed
It sucks because they’re ruining it for IRL streamers that love Japan, like Aba said, doing a IRL stream going to the grocery store, you do that, and everyone sees you as if your one of the weird public disturbance streamers
To be fair irl streaming is obnoxious and stupid even if you don't aim to bother people. Random don't want to be recorded, they don't want to hear talk to your camera when they try to do shopping or are eating something. In USA it may be normal and ok because Americans love being loud and they love to standout and get attention but for the rest of planet it's dumb and obnoxious in itself.
People like Logan Paul and Johnny Somali give American tourists a really bad rep.
I’ve always wanted to go to Japan and I hate thinking that people might have a pre conceived notion of me because of a couple doorknobs.
You can still go, just don't shove a camera in everyone's face.
the thing is people like that see how nice japanese people are so they think itll be easy to take advantage of
I'm black and I was in Japan as this stuff started going viral. Japanese people were still nice. Just don't act a fool and you'll be fine. Especially in Tokyo it's not uncommon to see foreigners who clearly aren't tourists, so these streamers can't single-handedly represent us.
@@PeteringYTbro like I have awareness of when to not take pictures unless it’s like the view of the places.
"Logan Paul and Johnny Somali give American tourists"
Ask yourself why it is that American tourists are considered to be among the worst in the world then ?
Is it only because of these two guys ?
Or is it because you go to foreign places, act like you're at home spreading your trash culture everywhere you go, then portraying yourselves as victims when the locals tell you to stop.
Man… I’ve been in Japan for 16 years and streaming for 10 years. I almost never did IRL cause I always felt weird doing it having become accustomed to the social customs of Japan. I see the logic of it when you sit in a train or a bus and are quiet because others are tired and you all are confined to a small space with people whom you don’t know and who have to commute to work like this every day, exhausted, it only makes sense to think of others and to be polite by being quiet and courteous and with it, you will be shown the same.
I always pointed the camera away from people, I always asked the shops if it’s ok to film and I told my audience that I won’t be talking on the busses or trains and if they don’t like it, that’s too bad.
I know many great IRL streamers who do the same here in Japan and because they aren’t obnoxious they don’t get that many views. It’s a huge pity how people have glorified and with it promoted and now destroyed the opportunity to even livestream and genuinely show the sweet and wonderfully beautiful side of Japan.
The high conviction rate is not because the Japanese justice system is unfair, but because Japanese prosecutors don't take cases to court unless it's serious and the evidence is damning, otherwise they'll just arrest you and let you go with a warning, which is clearly what happened to this guy until they had enough.
The japanese justice system is unfair
People would just fold up and Amit to anything because of how aggressive there detention/being held for is it known that that isn’t a pleasant experience

True, sure that's how they maintain a high conviction rate if it goes to court, but don't mistake that as a if not absolutely sure of a conviction then they go soft on you when they have laws like the Japanese police can arrest and hold you without charge for 23 days. DAYS!
Nothing like the 72 hours max in the US or 24 Hrs here in the UK (with request for extension to 36 or 96 hrs in exceptional cases)

"Ignorance of the law is not an excuse for breaking it." It actually is a legal argument in many countries, but its not a defense you can use over and over.
When I heard what Johnny was doing, it made me so angry on behalf of the Japanese people who had to put up with that stupidity. And upon hearing how they were dragging him around, jumping him, etc. I couldn't even be mad at them. When you were young and went out with your parents, you were taught to behave, don't touch anything, be respectful and quiet. It didn't matter if you knew the person or not and if you did misbehave, you knew the MOMENT you got in the car, you were in for a world of hurt. It's the same principle when visiting another country but instead of your mother, it's their justice system.
I cross the line at them chanting the hard R. Japanese people showed their ass and their hatred. Unacceptable.

Their country, their rules. When you're a guest, you respect their people, their government, and their environments, or you can stay TF out. What's not an option is to go over to a peace loving country, like Japan, and disrupt everyone's life simply because you think you have some kind of diplomatic immunity due to where you're from.

Most of Canada you do need to lock your door. I grew up in 🇨🇦 in a town where a skeleton key would open half the houses, a few no locks. We locked the door to go on holidays. For decades now the doors are locked in the day. Isn't multiculturalism great!! 🇨🇦
I’ve been in Japan for a bit now, everyone here so far is very welcoming and kind.
Japan has a reputation for being one of the safest countries in the world. There is a reason they are this safe. Yakuza is still there but their power has severely diminished over the last 20 years due to competent policing. Japan highly values this status and that’s why they do not go soft on criminals, especially tourists like Johnny
Also, a lot of Yakuza guys and other Japanese crooks are probably in jail with him because of all I mentioned so he won’t have a fun time.
How's Anna doing?
Not to mention Yakuza guys aren't going to generally mess with civilians, atleast not any civilians who stay out of the way.
Yakuza never diminished. They simply became part of the major conglomerates and government. This is what i heard when i lived in the Chubu region, but it will never be documented, due to how it would look to global powers
@@theinktician the number of Street thugs they used to have did go down a lot, but if that is where they shifted their power then they don’t even need them
@@theinktician You are correct, the shift began in the 90s, they started to move towards legitimizing their business interests, usually with a very heavy hand that works due to the odd system of laws in Japan. Also, I'll tell you that the Japanese police have ALWAYS been open to corruption, just like any other group of people - Japanese "soap lands" are illegal, but advertise openly, along with other things that are also illegal. I lived and worked there for over a decade and can tell you that the system is VERY corrupt, and in such a small country it is ridiculously easy for criminals to simply "disappear" with no consequences.
I saw these guys while I was getting ready to go to Japan in October and I felt horrible. the whole time I was there I tried so hard to make sure that I didn't look anything like these guys and felt eyes on me the whole time. F these streamers, Put them under the jail.

This is what frustrates me about people traveling abroad, especially people from the US: Exceptionalism. I remember some lady (traveled from the south) in Japan complaining about staff in a McDonalds not speaking English, as if it should be the universal language. It isn't. Anyone with a reasonable amount of intelligence should know the language of the country they're traveling to on an elementary level.
That also brings to light, if you noticed, most IRL streamers that are committing crimes are staying away, as if they don't want to find out after fucking around. Go figure.
I agree with you on knowing that English is not a universal language. If anything the French language, I believe, still holds control still at this time.
However, trying to have elementary level skill (conversational level) in EVERY language if you travel abroad might be too much. A single trip to Europe and traveling from Germany to France to Italy would be 3 additional languages right there.
Now, I'm not saying that someone shouldn't put in the effort to learn, they should. But, they better make sure that they have a translation book in their hand if they want to travel or speak to the citizens.
For example, my college professor once mentioned that there would be a summer internship in Germany, I applied and went. But the time frame to learn a new language was too short. But I KNEW that I wouldn't survive there if I didn't have a translation book with me at all times. What was surprising to me at that time, was how much English was actually there. English was a mandatory language taught in their schooling, so most waved my translation book away and straight up asked me in English. There was only one time that I needed the book fully. But if you put in the effort to at least try... hopefully they appreciate the effort.
@@novocode I wouldn't be shocked if they had a AI that could auto translate ya sentence to them..😩 😣
@@STLhumanity314 I wouldn't be too surprised at this point, even though translations are still a little rough. But when I went was over a decade ago, so translation books were pretty much the only resource. Unless you dragged a translator with you. lol

My mom visited Japan back in the 80s, and before they enter the country, the tour had a sit-down dinner with the group to explain Japanese law culture , social customs and because they did that she had a great time no problems, because she knew what to expect. What a lot of these influencers who stream IRL don't remember or realize you are in a different country, with different rules and expectations. As long as you remember that no problem, when you don't you end up in exactly the kind of situation Johnny Somali is facing right now. To put it another way the state department will tell you flat out up front" this is not America" you are playing under different rules and the host country has the ball and the bat, and knows the game better than you do the US Embassy has better things to do than dealing with you because you did something stupid because you thought you were still in the United States and thought you could get away with the same behavior
As a Canadian who traveled a lot in my 20's, I can honestly say I've never had issues in any country I've visited. However I have been profiled as an "American," in many places due to the accent and when some people overseas think you're American, then you can expect a negative attitude from some. I always wore a small Canadian flag pin and gave them away as gifts and yes once people knew I was Canadian, the attitude was far more friendly. I always tried to learn some local phrases and NEVER acted out, got loud or showed any disrespect for the people, the country or culture.

When he was given a warning by the local Yakuza to respect the Japanese culture , that should of been a major life lesson. And taken to heart he chose to ignore the warning, may he stay put in prison until,he learns his lesson.
The 99.8% conviction rate is for cases that *go to trial*, which is relatively few. Compare to the US federal conviction rate of 99.6%. Basically, they only prosecute the cases they know they're going to win. To illustrate this- Japan's prisoner population is under 46,000, compared to the US's over 1.2 million. Japan has over 1/3rd the population of the US, but less than 1/26th of the prisoners. Basically a 10x lower rate of incarceration per capita.
You should see all the sexual abuse crimes in Japan that never go to trial. It's wild. It would definitely change the crime statistics of Japan if they actually followed through.
@@perrywinkle5000 That is not possible. Countries with high murder rates also have high sex crimes at the same time.
Japan's murder rate is about 1/100th that of the United States.
In fact, it is normal for women to walk around late at night in Japan.
From what I found the reason for the high prosecution rate is they don’t prosecute you unless it is iron clad. If not you don’t get prosecuted.
I’ve been to Japan multiple times before the pandemic. Only had ONE instance where a woman didn’t want me in her store because i was a forgiener. Sadly what these types of ppl have done is increase that probability. Japan isn’t racist, they just know you’re culturally different and they treat you according to that and how you present yourself. But this will leave a bad taste with anyone going there now.
It’s like that everywhere outside of the w. est.
And unfortunately a lot of the time people don't want foreigners because foreigners come in and trash the place or break rules and social conventions.

Even if they were racist it's okay, Nations of Eastern civilization don't generally go into North America and cause trouble, it's typical for Americans to harass people world wide not the other way around.
The fact you’re able to visit foreign countries should be taken as a privilege. It’s sad, but don’t expect to be treated fairly.

I was aware of the IRL Streamer nuisance back last year when they all started going to Japan as the next hot spot for everybody to travel to for Instagram photos/video content. Japan was always the one country I wanted to visit and now I feel like I gotta respectfully just not go due to all of these idiots ruining the place with their mere presence.
I live in Japan and would not want to find myself on the wrong side of the law.
The high conviction rate does not mean all those in prison are guilty. The police keep you for 23 days without even a phone call, using that time to constantly interrogate you and break you down into confessing. They can always think of an excuse to keep you for another 23 days, rinse and repeat. It's not high level police work that gets the conviction rate, it's coerced confessions.
I heard of a case where a guy was accused of stealing some money off of a table in a bank (where you write out your deposit slip). He said he didn't do it and the cctv was just out of frame to prove otherwise. The judge said "But you could have done it". There's some next level justice for you.
Japan needs to change what type of society is that?? Kores had scandles but its a new low ewhen even judges lack that much of a spine they just rule someone has guility disguting
Unfortunately, there are plenty of slimy cops, prosecutors and judges in the West too that will do anything for a conviction.@@flimcomedy7667
THANK YOU!!!! I was gonna reply something similar. That conviction rate is faulty as FUCK! Over there the prosecutors hate looking like they’re wrong. I’ve seen stories that even after new evidence was brought to light they STILL kept the same verdict all because they didn’t want that conviction rate to go down. It’s like a badge of honor for them. They value that higher than justice. So many people falsely imprisoned.
I read an article about an American who came over to visit his son and daughter in law. He went into a Koban (they are small Police Stations with just a couple of officers) to ask for directions. The officer, strangely enough, asked if he had a knife, which he did, a small pocket knife. He was promptly arrested because the blade was over the allowed 5-6cm.
It took ten days and a lot of haggling to get him out of jail, just ridiculous.
BTW, the stupid knife laws are like the U.S. gun laws, useless. They still stab each other with kitchen knives a lot longer than 5-6cm.@@Blackstari
@@cbftoan01 Bro don’t they have a crazy sexual assault culture over there? Like the ratio of women that get molested on trains is like 4 in 5 or some crazy shit. When they try to tell police the police just shoo them away or act like it’s their fault so most don’t even report it because it’s just gonna get them ostracized and the culprit won’t even be charged. Not to mention power dynamics in the work place is downright horrific as well. They treat employees like slaves in some instances and if you don’t comply then you’re made out to be a horrible employee. People don’t realize that the grass isn’t always greener. Everywhere has its upsides and downsides.
I love that Aba said “see! They have cctv everywhere” as if the guy wasn’t live streaming his every crime 😂
I'm currently living in South Korea and it's honestly kind of radicalized me on crime. This country is so unbelievably safe that a ton of shops here are basically unmanned and you are just expected to check out. There are almost no schizos or psychos walking around and if you ask basically any woman here they'll tell you they feel safe walking alone here, even at night. It has everything to do with not only how tough the laws are on crime here but the fact that being a criminal is seen as not only an embarrassment for you, that will destroy you, but an embarrassment for your entire family and friends. You can argue it's probably too harsh and I might agree because people should be allowed to make mistakes. But honestly, there's no fucking crime and clearly this culture works.
The only people that hate that mentality... are the one who want to rampage and loot with no repercussions. Don't get me wrong, there is such a thing as dirty cops, but the ones shouting loudest about hating law enforcement are the ones who keep doing things that have them deal with law enforcement.

My wife is Japanese and told me that the cour cases can take some time so he will be in jail awaiting a proper hearing for a very long time.
Damn that's brutal😂 his homie is laughing about it too💀
I had heard of a lot of investing with Mrs Jane and how good she is, please how safe are the profits?
Jane was my hope during the ‘bear summer’s last year. I did so many mistakes but also learned from it, and of course she is also my number source when it comes to crypto and TA.
I know Mrs. Jane too and I have been trading with her, she is such an amazing woman and her skills keep me happy all week knowing I earn $10k extra income trading with her
Her accurate singles, coupled with her sound advice and risk management techniques, have completely transformed my trading trading strategy.
Nice video and I thank you for breaking it down!! Even with the current crypto dip, I’m still glad 😊 I can smile back at my portfolio made from my weekly trade within a short period of time
I moved to Turkey a few months ago and talk about culture shock... but I've managed to learn to fit in by learning the social norms here. and it's absolutely mindblowing when i see American tourists here acting like spoiled, entitled shitheads and making an embarrassment out of themselves
Decoy Voice is another great TH-camr!! Glad he's getting recognition
9:40 In Belgium, there is this town, a small city, few years ago, they used to not lock their cars or homes, same in my actual hoome in germany. Then the refugees from Syria happened (most of them werent even from Syria, but Afghanistan and other Islamic countries), criminality jumped higher and people now lock their cars and homes. Even post and parcel delivery had to change their delivery services.
As an American living in Japan for 4 years now, it is not hard to not get into trouble or any other unwanted situations here. That is true especially in more rural areas where I'm at. Japan is a very comfortable country to live in. You literally have to be an idiot to really mess up here. They are very harsh with a lot of stuff, especially drugs, but as long as you aren't putting a bright red target on your back, you'll be fine.
”not hard to not get into unwanted trouble “ because saying “ easy to stay out of trouble “ was too straight forward
I would pay Japan directly to livestream Jonny's whole sentence.
I’ve lived in Japan for 5 years. Glad he got what he was looking for.
Love you guys. I appreciate your intellectual takes on stupidity lol. Much love from Florida
I’ve been living in Japan for five years, and that conviction rate scares the shit out of us foreigners and also the locals here. That’s why it’s very very safe. It’s rare that there’s a murder here
1:11 man was looking like he was in a other room boy was lit lmao
I’m moving to Japan next year so I see this as an absolute win!
I am sure you'll love it! It's a wonderful country filled with respectful, peaceful and humble people
Good for Japan. If you've ever been there you know there's little social tolerance for unemployed behavior like this
That lul ‘Goofy’ laugh was everything.
Lmaoo ,the Japanese are not playing.
He thought it was an anime episode.
He thought he had plot armor. Turns out he was the random background bad guy that gets his ass handed
Anytime I’ve ever been out of my own country, I’m super conscious of it. Being locked up abroad is nothing I ever want to go through.
This is why Pewdiepie retired in Japan. Japan is very chill. People will not care about you. Well, he's an introvert, and Japan is perfect for him. He's living quietly doing vlogs once in a while. No locals will harass you on the street.
Every country has a bad side
@@MarieNeco bot
Honestly who gives a f about Pewdiepie or Japan? Why don't you move to Japan?
@@Atreidesセシリア How are they a bot for that...💀
Going to another country just to visit their jail as a extended stay is wild my guy
I'm tired of these so called "Prankster streamers." I've seen real pranksters who were funny or are funny. These guys just want an excuse to be idiots because they lack self control💯
True. There are a couple of prankster streamers from South Korea that I like. But, their pranks aren't aggressive or humiliating/threatening towards bystanders. Instead, they'll set up some sort of ridiculous or unexpected scenario with one or more actors and then film the reactions of the bystanders.
Preach is shady with his Fresh n Fit Tiege Hanley comment lol 😂 3:37
FRESH N FIT N MONETIZED BECAUSE FRESH N FIT GOT BANNED ON TH-cam LMFAO
I wanna move to Japan now. Less likely to run into “influencers” behaving like idiots in public. Yes I know the criminal system is rigged. They do everything they can to get a confession, guilty or not. But living in the pretty countryside away from people sounds nice.
You can't just live in Japan unless you're married to someone or have a work visa
I don’t blame the Japanese. I’ve spent time in Japan and Thailand, and it’s super frustrating coming back to the west. Where disrespect is the norm. I honestly can’t wait to go back to Thailand.
I was touring for my music across America some years ago & we stopped by one of my rap group members' aunt's house to visit & have dinner. She told us to spend the night instead of paying for a hotel & she cooked us breakfast before we left to travel to the next city / show. She gave us breakfast & said goodbye as she had to run errands. When we were going to leave, we noticed many windows & doors open. We called to ask her if she wanted us to lock up & she said "No, this is rural Maryland, not Miami where yall are from. Its okay." so we just left everything as is. As someone who grew up in South Florida, like Miami / Fort Lauderdale, that was craaaaaaazy to me lol.
As a pirate, we do not claim Johnny Somali
He is not somali bro. He is a larper from Ethiopia and Yemen.
