Caroline Cameron talks with Blue Jays infielder Munenori Kawasaki at the Jays annual golf tourney for the Jays Care Foundation and it appears Kawasaki's baseball swing carries over to golf as well.
You have no ideas how Japanese is bad at English... I am in a top 2 graduate school in US and my Japanese foreign phd student spoke just a little bit better than him. and he starts to learn English at 30....with no advance education before...
@@hadhamalnam true. Pretty sure an American celebrity would just speak English because more Japanese people have some English knowledge than the other way around. They wouldn't bother
I had no idea who this dude was 2 days ago. I also have absolutely no interest in baseball. I have now watched five videos of him. TH-cam truly works in mysterious ways.
I was crying like that slightly awkward pause where she's not really sure what he just did but he's just standing there smiling so happily asljkfahlskdhaskjd
I used to think this then one day a friend of mine collapsed while we were visiting Montreal. Now I'm sure I could've spoken English but I mustered up all the knowledge I had to try and ask how to get some help in French. The Quebecois were more than willing to wait and listen.
Dude, just speak. Noones cares how many mistsakes you make or how your accent is weird, just speak to improve yourself and not give a crap about other people (this is is a healthy way, not being selfish). You'll improve!
Kawasaki is still a legend on TV in japan.. he brags that he skipped practice to come join talk shows that he gets invited to. Then he shares inside scoops of Japanese players... Like darvish yu came to japan for wbc to coach on the differences in the ball or laars nootbaar was key to winning cause he taught the team to party hard but play hard.
Once upon a time I got a random recommendation of an interview with this dude I didn't know, and now I get another video recommendation, I get this. Hooooy, this better stop, I don't want my feed to turn into a bunch of interviews with thise Kawasaki guy getting interviewed
See, I'm in exactly the same boat. I got one of his clips in my recommended videos 3 days ago, but I don't mind if I fall into the Munenori video rabbit hole. Dude's got charisma coming out of his ears!
I've been living in Asia for years and it's so exhausting having everyone treat you like a child because you're bad at the language and communicating with people like a child because complex ideas are hard to say. His confidence and smile is so inspiring!
I've watched like 10 of these interviews and my favorite part is when theres this awkward pause after Kawasaki finishes what he says and looks so proud of himself. This man is like oddly so adorable idk how to explain it
He's so funny, it's awesome that he has a naturally good humor that really dosen't need to be conveyed by words alone. I feel like he's a funny guy in general.
This must be my 4th video right now in the span of 3 days. I have absolutely no interest in baseball, but I can tell you for sure he is my favorite baseball player. period. He just oozes fun and confidence
If his english is getting better everyday than he did a lot of interviews in one day. Cause i've been binging his videos and his english is still the same😄💙
I have a ton of respect for this guy for having the confidence to do all the interviews and stuff in English. People who haven't had to communicate in a different language probably underestimate how nerve racking that must be. My wife is Norwegian, and I've learned a decent amount of Norwegian, but whenever we're with her family and everyone is speaking Norwegian, I get super nervous and usually just end up resorting to English because I get self conscious about my Norwegian. I can't imagine how nerve racking it must be but he doesn't even seem phased
I'm the exact same way with Norwegian and Bokmal is one of the easier languages to learn if you know English. Munenori's situation is so much more difficult!
i have never watched a baseball match neither been in usa. but i love this guy, he is my favorite player. thx yt for recommending his videos, love it :D
Why am I only finding out about this guy this week? My whole recommended is just "English? Getting better, ya." and I love it. It's like if Mr. Bean was a pro athlete.
Kawasaki reminds me so much of this Sicilian fella I worked with on a fam. Guy was hilarious and it was a right laugh trying to communicate with each other sometimes lmao. It's kinda fun trying to piece together bits of languages
I am German, not interested in golf nor in baseball, the YT algorithm still found my maybe because I am interested in comedy gold 🥇, this guy is priceless, greetings from Berlin Germany 🇩🇪
Kawasaki, "warm up is important because..... I don't know" Love this guy.
He's the Japanese Iverson. "Warm ups? Practice??"
I was the 4 thousandth like. :)
I thought he said Walmart lol
@@grumpycrumbles7360 warm wrap..
But hen he was like: BECAUSE?!!! - - - > no, I'm study...
I have a feeling this guy speaks perfect English lol
Sorry, but I have to do this:
'In Japan, Heart surgeon, number one. Steady hands...'
@@sammipanini 'One day, Yakuza boss need new heart. I do operation. But, mistake!'
@@ratnakant Yakuza boss die! Yakuza very mad. I hide in fishing boat, come to America.
@@sammipanini No english, no food, no money. Darryl give me job.
@@ratnakant now I have house, American car, new woman
TH-cam keeps suggesting me this man, it’s literally the only time youtube got my suggestions correct.
😂😂Me too
Lol
Same bro, and I don't even watch baseball 😂
I have no idea who he is, but he's such a precious bean lol
I recommend McCoy Tyner
he's so confident its awesome.
Just gonna comment 6 years later so you can see you’re well earnt likes
@@sallytrengrove9015 I'm gonna comment 6 years 1 hour later to also tell him
@@Smoothie_dude and i'm gonna comment 6 years and 3 hours later to also tell him
You got likes!!!!!!!
Ok lol
Is this guy like a missing member of The Office US or something? He's brilliant
In Japan, heart surgeon number one.
@@ramizensei Then Yakuza come and I hide in fishing boat
End up in america
He fits right in
@@Paraboiia Darryl give me job
@@ramizensei He killed Yakuza boss
This guy speaks perfect English. He's just a level 99 troll.
He’s is the troll of the mlb. If I was a team I would sign this guy just to have Him on the bench for the fans and to sell his jerseys
@@nicolas6796 NY Yankees have entered the chat....
He's like this when speaking Japanese as well lol
Ha
You have no ideas how Japanese is bad at English... I am in a top 2 graduate school in US and my Japanese foreign phd student spoke just a little bit better than him. and he starts to learn English at 30....with no advance education before...
He talks like if an american celebrity went to Japan and knew very basic Japanese but acted and spoke like it was normal.
I love the confidence
Nah no American celebrity would know nearly as much japanese as he knows english, he knows just the right amount to be hilarious
Because that’s exactly what this situation is, but reversed...
@@hadhamalnam Steven Srgarl speaks.
@@hadhamalnam true. Pretty sure an American celebrity would just speak English because more Japanese people have some English knowledge than the other way around. They wouldn't bother

Same here
Same here 🤣
MrTwoarmedman he is the most wholesome man alive. I too have just discovered him a day ago.
Same but yesterday. TH-cam algorithm doing its best work aye
Yep same
"very very important because....................................................................................................I dont know"
No-one knows that importance. Oriental mystery.
Word
„Me practice baseball no power“
„Me practice golf power“
Can’t fault the guy on his self assessment. Pretty true.
I thought he said Batista
A lot of people who grew up on baseball have pretty hard time at golf for the first few times.
@@Altiveda Yeah absolutely. I targeted 45 degrees to the left and my shot OB'ed to the right
I believe he was saying problem not power
Nah he was saying pro
"Munenori, playing golf..."
"I'm praahg"
I died
I was crying
like that slightly awkward pause where she's not really sure what he just did but he's just standing there smiling so happily asljkfahlskdhaskjd
+Pikaboo I'm crying in laughter
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
i think he wanted to say "im fun!"
Tiago Casquinho I think he was trying to say «im fine!».
We didn't search for this, but we are all glad we found it.
It found us
How does keep happening!.. 😂 😂
my son is canuck, he speak english
*M A Y B E*
7 years later and this man still makes my day
I feel you 2 years guy.
@@lGold101 I feel you 17 minutes guy.
I feel you 6 months guy@@limitedkanji
I completely lost it at "Warm up is important because..." **awkward pause**
warm wup
You mean wawm wap?
Warm wrap...
War map.
The camera zooming in also helps since he's pulling the joke like it's some sort of a japanese comedy show.
Shohei Ohtani' interpreter was fired. I want Munenori Kawasaki to interpret for him.
I love when he repeats what the reporter says but in a happier and funnier tone
I'm learning Korean and Chinese, and every time I try to say even a simple thing I feel like I'm dying of embarrassment. Meanwhile, this guy:
I used to think this then one day a friend of mine collapsed while we were visiting Montreal. Now I'm sure I could've spoken English but I mustered up all the knowledge I had to try and ask how to get some help in French. The Quebecois were more than willing to wait and listen.

别害羞,大胆说,加油!
Asterix or monty python? I'm confused
How’s it going
this dude is exactly this funny when he speaks in his native japanese
Not a baseball fan, but I'm a Munenori fan. I can't get enough of this guy.
He has a perfect comedic timing. The silence before “…I don’t know” gets me every time.
Those are actually really good swings.
Lol the second one looked like a pretty good block but he gets through em
I swear Asian ppl are good at everything
@@mash3519 Except driving.
Matthew Ashford and seeing
@cuddlefish Nah man, only Fast and Furious films worth watching were the ones with Paul Walker.
This guy is probably the most fun to hang with.
Kawasaki is still a legend on TV in japan.. he brags that he skipped practice to come join talk shows that he gets invited to. Then he shares inside scoops of Japanese players... Like darvish yu came to japan for wbc to coach on the differences in the ball or laars nootbaar was key to winning cause he taught the team to party hard but play hard.
This man is an international treasure.
I love how he totally controls the reporters. They think his English is so low but he’s totally controlling the interview! LOL Genius!
Thank you TH-cam for reminding me of this legend of a man.
Keep seeing this guy in my recommended. Pretty sure he is actually pulling everybody's leg and actually speaks native level English.
@Buck Eye The carrot said native *level* English, not native English. Plus it was obviously a joke. Why you looking for controversy?
so.. fluent?
Buck Eye no he doesn’t. He actually thinks the OPPOSITE. That’s why it’s a funny joke.
I’ve watched so many of his interviews she is by far the one who treated him the most normal. Good job lady

Same. He became autonomic imbalance, but now he came back and show on TV or Instagram like those days
I've been living in Asia for years and it's so exhausting having everyone treat you like a child because you're bad at the language and communicating with people like a child because complex ideas are hard to say. His confidence and smile is so inspiring!
"who's best"
"me"
gotta love that confidence
最近鬱っぽくて仕事も三日連続で休んで、今日も無気力になったり不安になって絶望していたが、ふとオススメに出てきたこの動画観て自然と大笑いした。まだ自分頑張れるなって思えた。ありがとう、川崎宗則。
この在米芸人オモロイなぁ〜
I've watched like 10 of these interviews and my favorite part is when theres this awkward pause after Kawasaki finishes what he says and looks so proud of himself. This man is like oddly so adorable idk how to explain it
I can't stop watching this guy
His laugh is so cute, I LOVE him LMFAAAO
I never watched baseball and don't know why youtube is recommending videos of this guy but now I'm definitely a fan of him.
#KawasakiGang
His interviews are my happy pill 😄
Can't stop watching his videos
He needs his own show: Kawasaki Does
I love this guy the energy and honesty he brings is next level.
I love this guy! He has such a genuine and wholesome personality
He's so funny, it's awesome that he has a naturally good humor that really dosen't need to be conveyed by words alone. I feel like he's a funny guy in general.
3 seconds in, already dying
im *prahg*
Munenori, playing golf!
I am fwang! *zoom in, grin like he just dropped the best line ever*
You held out longer than I did. As soon as I saw the recommendation I started laughing before even clicking it.
This must be my 4th video right now in the span of 3 days. I have absolutely no interest in baseball, but I can tell you for sure he is my favorite baseball player. period. He just oozes fun and confidence
Same here. TH-cam algorithm is a trip
0:42 is me when the professor asks why I chose an answer

"Walmart... Ayyy... Very very important: WALMART"

“Because...... I don’t know, English..... ya
TH-cam please never stop recommending me this man
I cant stop watching videos of this guy
This man is a treasure and must be protected at all costs.
"Bartister" 🤣 never gets old..
Dude the videos of this guy just doing interviews goes soo deep man, there are so many videos of Mune just being the funniest person on camera lol
Who's best?
"Me"
The confidence of this man
Toronto fans miss you for this kind of entertaining interview
This guy is genuinely great. thanks for the recommendation 8 years too late
I love this guy, he always seems so happy
what a great guy!
I'm FWANG ! :)
Forget his english, his comedic timing is absolutely brilliant
If his english is getting better everyday than he did a lot of interviews in one day. Cause i've been binging his videos and his english is still the same😄💙
Why's this guy in my recommendation so much now😂 watched one interview and now it's all that comes up, absolute legend though 😂😂
Why has youtube been suggesting me videos of Kawasaki every time🤧🤧😂😂💞💞
I love watching him so much though☺️😂
I've never watched a baseball game in my life, but I've seen every single Kawasaki video on the internet.
Same here
he's so happy and adorable ;u;
This man is a gem and probably is perfectly fluent at this point given his attitude.
No idea why I’m being recommended him but this is one of the best recommendations ever he’s hilarious
This guy is so wholesome
I have a ton of respect for this guy for having the confidence to do all the interviews and stuff in English.

I'm the exact same way with Norwegian and Bokmal is one of the easier languages to learn if you know English. Munenori's situation is so much more difficult!
I’ve been binge watching all his interviews in 3am and it’s worth it. I don’t even know anything about baseball 😅
I don't even watch baseball but this guy is awesome
“Well because.............. I don’t know” he’s so funny
I never seen a baseball match, i don't even know the rules but i see all videos of this guy. This man i so funny
I love every clip I've ever seen of this guy.

Kawasaki is taking over my youtube recommendations
Same
No matter what this guy talks about it’s the funniest thing in the world
Ive been getting rec of this guy for a week now,not complaining
I swear I tap on one video of him and now he’s all over my recommended....

Cristian Schneider Van Dyck at all this man got oriental wisdom in his veins
I don't know anything about baseball but i love this guy
i have never watched a baseball match neither been in usa. but i love this guy, he is my favorite player. thx yt for recommending his videos, love it :D
I would watch this guy the whole day and not get bored lmfao
At least he has such a big confident in front of the media while speaking the other language
Literally never watched this guy but I love his interviews
This man is the best interviewee of all time
The world needs more Munenori.
He’s so good at using the body language. He can communicate with everyone by using that
He acts like a guy who just fumbles around and people think he's famous and he's just too good of a sport to correct them. Man he's funny.
I'm Australian and know nothing about baseball but I've been suggested about 5 Kawasaki vids in the last week and couldn't be happier
Me too lol
Been binge watching his Epic videos
I remember on some other video a japanese viewer commented that he is the same in Japanese lol
I don't watch golf or baseball, but still my favorite golfer is Kawasaki and my favorite baseball player is Kawasaki!
He has the best interviews imo
0:46 excellent camera work
0:30 LMAO LOL fake laugh
didnt want to destroy the 69 likes

I have no idea how baseball is played but i m in montage of kawasaki interviews, that's how much fun he is.
