Max, you consistently feature the most fascinating and delightful guests. Always a joy to watch, listen and learn from their varied experiences and the line of your questioning which allows them to shine. (And you shine as a result, as well.)
I was born and raised in Tokyo and have been living in Australia for almost 20 years. I completely agree with Kemio’s explanation about the Japanese work style and the Japanese national characteristic of being unable to say no. There are many aspects of Japanese people that I find annoying. However, I am convinced that the seriousness of the Japanese, their strong sense of conformity, and their outward politeness are what have shaped the Japanese culture admired around the world today. If people, like in many other countries, prioritized themselves and their families over others, work, and the local community, I don't think Japan would have become the world’s only single-dynastic country with a history of 2,700 years. It was a very enjoyable discussion. Thank you.
Much respect to Kemio! Been watching your life journey before you even could speak English. Your life is very inspiring not only for hafus but anyone that feel outside.
I love Kemio!!! I've been watching him since from before he moved to the States and it's been so cool to see him grow and pursue his dreams. Loved listening to this 💚
Im an huuge fun of Kemio Thanks for interviewing him I feel like we can’t hear his thoughts and stories honestly in Japanese cuz he’s so sweet speaking in Japanese 😂
Niiice, another great interview 👍 I didn't know Kemio, but loved his perspectives and listening to his background and highs and lows of chasing his dreams.
Hi Max and Kemio! This is the first time I've met Kemio and even though he is funny, I really liked his analysis of the differences between New Yorkers and Japanese! I haven't been to NY or Japan so to me it opened up a whole universe! Thanks so much, Max, for this very well handled interview, loved it! 🌿
I watched this channel fist time. I became a big fun of Kemio🥰 For working system in Japan was absolutely right. I agree with you. I have been thinking why It is difficult having work and life both good balance in Japan. 😢 I am thinking Why workers are low standing in Japan. And Eventhought We work hard and long time and most job with too much responsibility in Japan. Why workers can not get money a lot. Why workers can not have free time a lot. 😢 I am looking for good way. good balance for long time. Kemio, your English is eary to understand. I am English learner. I understood 80 % . I was so happy😊 Thanks!
同い年でハーフで片親だけど小さい時に亡くしてて、他にも共通点が多いので、色々思うところありながら聞きました。 日本はすごく生きにくいと感じていて、自分はできるだけトキシックにならず生きてたつもりだったけど、ギリギリで生活出来るくらいしかお金も貰ってないのに、仕事をもっと完璧以上にやらなきゃと焦ってたり酒に逃げるのが通常運転で、耳が痛い話でした。そういう生活は改善したいと思った。 People pretend this is Normalっていうの、本当にそれだしめっちゃ恐ろしいことだと思う。 いい話を沢山聴けてよかったです！ありがとうございました💙
33:03 and there's Aussie teens doing 70% of their works saying "im not getting payed enough to do this" 😂 Mind u we live in a country with one of the highest minimum wage
Hi @MaxDCapo, I am Iranian and I have a hunch about Kemio's father, that he is in fact just Iranian. In the 1980s, when Japan's economy was booming, a lot of mostly young men from Iran went to Japan to work, and some of them ended up marrying Japanese women (similar to the story of the father of a lady from a previous episode). The "half-Italian" part might just be a lie to stave off some pressure due to racial prejudice, as the Japanese are probably less racially hostile to a European person compared to a Middle Eastern person. I say that because being actually half-Iranian, half-Italian, and from Iran is pretty rare (probably less than 10 individuals fit this description), and very unlikely combined with his story. The lie makes sense in a cultural environment where his grandparents wouldn't even admit his father wasn't Japanese. He can verify this with a genetic ancestry test. Please pass this to him if you have contact with him and think this might help him have some more information about a father that he never knew.
Right I agree with him. It turns out that some japanese are into saying yes or Hai all the time but they want to say no, but they don't have a choice but it's already an お願い。 Plus the work culture, when he mentions that the American worker needs to go because her daughter has a soft ball game. Then japanese employee got shock right? Because "they are always isogashii sugi and they might get karoshii" they are too serious at work. 仕事がまじめすぎ But japanese has this Work and life must be separated, but it turns out in japan "Work life". 仕事で生きる
i told myself i thought i saw chemistry between those two but reminded myself max is straight but maybe he isnt... im gonna see if kaimo has any shirtless pics😋
Leave a comment and sub if you think Kemio is an icon🙏🙏Also make sure to

最近Kemio本人のポッドキャストでは口を濁して話すことが多くなっているので、ここで自分の感じている日本への思いをストレートに話している彼を見られてすっきりしました。
発信してる時のKEMIO君がもちろん大好きだけれど、対談してたりする時のKEMIO君が以前からとても好きです。
相槌のタイミングや間の取り方など、頭の良さが伝わってきて本当にかっこいい!!
こんなに見応えあるインタビューをありがとうございます。ひとりでカメラの前でしゃべり倒すkemioも大好きだけどこうしてお話しながら掘り下げてくかたちもすごく面白かったです!!!!
Vine時代からずっとみてます🫶❤
あっという間に動画が終わった〜！❤
けみおくんが語学学校に通っていた時からも見てたので、こんなに話せるようになるなんて、本当に努力が凄すぎると感じます。私も同世代で同じ時期に留学したので、私なんか全然ですが、
色んな経験をして、考えて、自分らしい生き方を模索し続ける姿を見せ続けてくれることが嬉しいです。一緒に同じ時代を生きている感じがして、遠い存在なのに、友達のような不思議な感覚です。SNS してくれていてありがとうございます❤️
🥹💙🫂
日本の字幕をつけてくれたことに感謝します。
けみたんのインスタからきたよーって人？💙
「we growing up together」的なことを言ってくれたところで、なんかグッときて目頭が熱くなりました。
私もその一人です（28歳）。
kemioさんと一緒に成長してきてて、いろいろあったよねとか、このときはすごく見てたとか、kemioさんにいろんな想い出があります。
日本のインフルエンサーカルチャーの草創期から活躍されてきたkemioさんは本当にいろんなしんどいことがあったと思うけど
（そういう本音ものぞけてとてもうれしかったです）
それでも自分で自分を探して、自分をちょっとずつ創っていって、そして私たちの前でこうしてスターで居続けてくださるエネルギーに、本当に本当に感動します。尊敬！！！😭
素晴らしいインタビューと動画をありがとうございます！！！
英語もすごくかっこよくて、とっても勉強になります。
やっぱり私も英語しゃべれるようになりたい！ 憧れます。
ポッドキャストで字幕なしでまた聞いて、勉強しよって思いました！
ありがとうございました！！！
昔テレビに出ていたことはなんとなく覚えていて、たまたま2年くらい前にTH-camで見てすごく面白くてずっとそこから見てます。話がとても面白い人。He is so funny and so smart, I think.
Max, you consistently feature the most fascinating and delightful guests. Always a joy to watch, listen and learn from their varied experiences and the line of your questioning which allows them to shine. (And you shine as a result, as well.)
l love Kemio's vibes either way in English or Japanese 💙He's a badass with such a sweetest heart😎❤最強のギャル🫶だけど隠しきれない優しさもだいすき！
ラップの下でドレイクとケンドリックのビーフのこと知ってる？からの『えっ私ゲイだからわかんない』の下は本当吹いた😂
終始話が面白くてちょっと覗くつもりが特に後半とか笑い過ぎて観終わってた🤪

Thank you🙏🙏Definitrly want to bring more of the Japanese halfies in entertainment into podcasts to share their perspectives

Loooooove Kemio 💚💚💚
I’ve respected Kemio before he lived in the US and now I’m a big fan🫶🏻 Kemio is the super hot 😍
Kemio is cute with a cute personality. i can see why he became so popular.
お兄ちゃんのくだり笑った！笑😂
面白かったー！teaをspillingしてるけみおがもっとみたい、日本語にこういうポッドキャストってないよね
日本語にこういうポッドキャスト中々ないんですが、GOLDNRUSH PODCAST という日本語のポッドキャストが一番近いと思う🙏
英語わかんないけど全部観た！
私もハーフだからけみおくんが日本でハーフとして生きる事について語ってくれたのは興味深かった。けみおくんの考え方ずっと気になってた。
けみおくん大好き🫶🏼🫶🏼
kemioはいつも最高💙
魂から面白すぎる
47:20 ここのkemioのリアクションが面白すぎるし、このコーナーめっちゃ面白かった
私は日本人でアニメや漫画も好きだけど、OTAKUのお兄ちゃん文化だけは本当に理解できなかったlol
No real，fiction，creepy OTAKU contents（culture?）.lol
けみたーん💖
けみおくんのご両親が事故で亡くなったのは知ってたけど、お父さんの写真すら見たことなかったんだ…知らなかった。もしかしたら、何処にもぶつけられない娘を失った怒りの矛先をお婿さんに向けてたのかもね・・・
けみお君大好きだよ❗
おばあちゃんも誇らしいね マイルズも
I’ve seen Kemio literally everywhere 😂
日本語字幕がほしいです！
おにいちゃ〜ん！は笑う犬しか思い浮かばない。
パーフェクトブルーだ！
I love Kemio❤
英語は全くわからないので自動翻訳で見ました！kemioのPodcastやTH-cam、雑誌のインタビューでは話されていないことがいくつか聞けてあっという間の1時間でした😊
I'm Japanese. We love Kemio!! Japanese society is too traditional to change. But I believe some people like Kemio can change our society😊
英語と日本語を混ぜて話すところが我が家と同じで嬉しい。バイリンガル同士じゃないと成立しないけど、あるあるだよねー。
パーフェクトブルーのTシャツなんてあるんか！
日本の仕事に対する真面目な姿勢って、ずーっとこの国にはほぼ日本人しかいないから、みんなが同じ環境で、同じようなバックグラウンドで生活して生きてる、"みんな同じ価値観"っていう前提が当たり前にあるからだと思う。何が大事で何が大事じゃないか、みんな同じのはず。だから良いことも悪いことも、ただ周りの真似をすればいい。
日本に移民が入ってきて、人によって文化、言語、優先順位が違うこと当たり前になれば、仕事の仕方も変化していくんじゃないかな。
He is so funny and smart!
勉強になった！
けみたんlove 💙大好きだよ
He is so funny🎉🎉🎉
Icon 💜
27:50 日本について
33:35 日本の仕事について
あら。ケミたん！
はいがHAIみたいな感じで面白い笑
なんだか英語で話す方が伸び伸びと本音を語ってくれるけみおくんが楽しくて何度も見てしまった。日本人は本当に雇用主の奴隷みたいだよね。しかもお金の話を持ち出すってちょっとマナー違反みたいなとこあるし・・・
Keimo is a great guy
日本語字幕ほしい！
今字幕があるよ！

Work and life must be separated, but it turns out in japan "Work life". 仕事で生きる
えーーーー!?二歳の時にご両親亡くなってしまったのは初耳です😢
First!!
You wine😂🎉
@@MaxDCapo I always wine 🍷
Lol
What Kamio said shows how unhealthy Japanese entertainment companies are. TV companies are same.
まってoniichan のステップシブリングスの話怖すぎ、、、大問題でしょ😟
うーん。日本は普通じゃないっていうけど、どこにとっての普通と捉えてるのかなって思う。良い悪いの話じゃないはずなのに、良い悪いのニュアンスが含まれてしまってる感じがしたのが少し残念。
世界基準でしょ
i told myself i thought i saw chemistry between those two but reminded myself max is straight but maybe he isnt... im gonna see if kaimo has any shirtless pics😋
0:33 It makes me feel embarrassed as a Japanese...😅
ハーフは同じインタビューだな。社会に馴染めない？差別？的な。それ以外はアイデンティティ無いって感じ
恵まれた人の考えすぎてなにも刺さらなかったし、意外と視野狭いんだね。
