it's actually really easy I don't know why you guys make this so complicated. we are all humans. the most difficult part in Japan is to be able to speak japanese... and even without speaking i met and did a lot of new friends when i was there that made me want to learn japanese even more
@@tomaspinto5862 Yeah like.. I came from being an extremely introverted. And even then, interacting with other people was a non issue for me. I eventually started doing more outdoor activities than indoors and now more extroverted than ever before
Well, because in Japan, most people who talk to strangers like this are either religious or scammers. No wonder they are suspicious. Besides, most of the foreigners in this video probably already knew him. He is somewhat well known to foreigners, but totally unknown to the Japanese.
@@carloenixHow did you meet them? I'm moving to rural Japan and I'm a bit of an ambivert so I'm pretty nervous I'll have trouble meeting new people...
Rural dwelling Japanese people are noticeably more easy going and willing to talk, probably because they're curious about travellers and they don't get the chance to talk to them often
This man don't even imagine how much he makes for the society. Japanese people really struggling not having friends and I hope this will start some good trend to make friends with strangers. Thank you Jesse-san!
As a half Japanese myself, in regards to making friends with Japanese people, I think the reason you kept getting rejected is due to your initial approach. Your first line, "do you want to be my friend!?" can seem too abrupt, without any context explaining Why you want to be friends. I think if you approach them casually, introducing yourself and that you're looking for more Japanese friends, and Then inviting them to your party, I feel you would've gotten more approvals.
lmao no it would've barely mattered... the issue is that it takes time for Japanese people to even be comfortable to be your friend, much less visit your house on the first day you meet them.
@@NO1xANIMExFAN You're both right. Not everyone is ready for that- or comfortable, but equally the abrupt nature of it may put pressure on people making them choose not to.
@@NO1xANIMExFAN Like the half Japanese girl said in the video, it all depends on the place you go. The places he went most people are on the move in their own mindset going about their work. You go to Shinjuku or Shibuya and I guarantee by the end of the night there would be at least 100 people going to that party.
This video resonates with me. Connecting and making friends can be daunting but they was your presented this is very encouraging. You really built a small community that helped bring some people out of their shell- definitely a highlight to their Tokyo experience. You cooked with this video- 10/10 on editing too!
OMG I mean ur not actually becoming good friends here but by asking "would u like to be my friend" you're instantly breaking the ice and making yourself very vulnerable - its a high risk high reward strategy and some people definitely would love to make friends by just being asked.
I’ve been here afew years. And honestly Japanese are very difficult to befriend. Like they’ll be polite and friendly on the surface. But once you try to build that long term friendship they get flaky, the stop replying to messages, etc. not all of them ofcourse, but foreigners are waaaay friendlier. On the other hand, I’m dating a Japanese girlfriend and she’s easily the best dating experience I’ve ever had. And one of my close friends here is Japanese and he’s super supportive and great
This video kind of reminded me of people you see posting on the internet about how bored and or lonely they are. Meanwhile, they ignored all their friends or people who reached out to them to talk or hangout.
It went actually very well! Thank you for showing us. I am 100% introvert but I enjoyed the video very much! I am learning Japanese and will for sure visit Japan some day. Living in Germany, I find it way more difficult to make friends here than in Asia. If you are non-asian, trying to make friends in Asia, it is not THAT hard. But as an asian, in Europe, we are like invisible lol
This is the most wholesome video I've ever watched on making friends. It has definitely turned me up to go ahead and make new friends as an introvert, and I'm just glad I watched it ❤
Damn Jesse, I rarely comment videos but that was such an original and fun to watch video and all you pulled all that off in Japan. Such a fun vid. keep up the great work! Making friends here aint the easiest but you just lightining the mood for that topic, LOVED IT
Jesse, the amount of bravery you have to talk to strangers in the streets is just so interesting, I'm hoping one day I could also be as brave as you because my social skills aren't that great despite not living in Japan. Anyway this video was so interesting
Jesse, you and your team are literally SAVING and UNITING people with your content. Be it you or strangers getting out of your comfort zones, it’s all with a positive and growth-oriented conscious goal in mind
That was super cool idea, and how it developed in the end. I guess by you being a 'famous' youtuber people were more friendly, but it shows many things about the japanese society. And if would be 10x harder if i was in the rural area of Japan, but worked greatly in Tokyo.
It's harder in rural areas of Japan because of the age difference. Most of the people in rural areas are older than 40 and do not party or even have a get together like this anymore.
i LOVE watching strangers become friends!! it’s so cool seeing how well everyone hung out together!! if you do another video on this please do it in january LOL ILL BE THERE FOR MY 21ST BDAY
Would love to see you do a 2nd house party! Think it would be good to have a female friend accompany you as well, I think some women will find it sus when a guy wants to make friends with you and then invite you over to his place.
This is great but I feel like the point is that it’s hard to make friends in Japan with Japanese people so I’d love to see you try it again with for example only Japanese-speaking people to see if Japanese people would come to this sort of thing
I've seen this idea before done in America, but to think you could pull it off in Japan, that's incredible man! Congrats to you, your team and your new friends! Excellent video! Make more friends! Part 2!!!
Nearly to be zero Japanese there. japanese amazingly closed concept and individualize as hell. However I enjoy this VDO and so happy To see those young foreigners have a good time. ❤ 😂 yeahhhhh
Fun video to watch. Would like to see Jesse have another party to give the ones who didn't make it or were afraid to go a chance to hang out with all that attended this party. I think those that didn't make it would want to go to another party after seeing how much fun everyone had at this party. Would be a nice follow up video and maybe making more friends for everyone.
The ones who wouldn't make it didn't want to join in the first place. Especially the ones who have to work or have other plans. They always will have other plans.
Bro, that was so fun! Hope some of those guys keep on touch, also can't wait to have my own chance of get off of my country and meet some new people and cultures 🇧🇷
More than just an interesting video idea, this was executed very well! It had a lot of narrative ups and downs throughout and was glad to see people showed up to the party and new friends were made. I used to live in Japan for a year and felt that loneliness, so this was cool to see. Huge props to Jesse and the team that made this possible.
This video is wholesome, we need more people to be encouraged to do this in this type of countries so people can realize socializing is something nice and fun!
the nuts! not only of him for cold approaching everyone n then inviting them for a party that same night, but when you're inviting total strangers you're at risk of exactly that happening; people get scared of showing up alone cos they're afraid of talking to strangers, but ya WELL DONE
japanese girls laughing and running away the second you hit them with some fluent japanese is the most soul crushing thing ever. i still find it confusing why they tend to react like that.if anyone could shed some light that would be cool. are they just that shy? and keep to themselves, or like where they actively making fun of him by laughing.
When you come up all of a sudden to unsuspecting strangers and ask them to be your friend, you sound weird and creepy. Instead, you should've told them your objective. "Hi, my name's Jess. I'm trying to see if I can have a Japanese friends today. Would you be my friend?' "I'll be hosting a party for all of my new friends tonight. Would you be down to attend?" That's how you do it.
Love the video idea, sadly most of the friends who eventually came over were foreigners. Also, I always enjoy seeing your videos and how positive you are and the way you smile!
Even though it was mostly foreigners the blessing about it is that this creation you never know what has begun . Friendships, love, support groups whatever its totally awesome ❤
I'm Japanese, and if someone said, "Hey! There's a party today, wanna come?" in English, I'd say YES. But if they said the same thing in Japanese, I'd probably turn them down with, "Sorry, I have work today..." In Japan, if a stranger invites you to a party, 99% of the time it's some shady business deal😂
easiest way to make friends platonically is by joining some kind of activity club, like an mma club, surfing class. Anything out of common interest where you guys meet for a short time every week
I think, this type of content could be interesting if you hop cities all over Japan, bringing Japanese youth with foreigner together in their community. Follow up content after the party would be interesting as well.
what an amazing ending ♥ that was so lovely ♥ I think the best thing you did is take people who are otherwise shy and not good at making friends, And put them in an environment where you can easily make friends!!!~ ♥ This was really wonderful to watch! ♥
I mean, in this era there no really someone stranger appoarch you and ask if they want to be our friend,, not only japan, but guess in other country too, friend connection is mostly happen with someone you continue meet in a one place like class or office, and the "friend" status happen just like that without asking if they want to be our friend. so I can understand why japanese people reject you
Out of all the people you talked to in this video, how many of them do you still keep in touch with to this day? Are these life long friends or convenience friends to just hangout once or twice?
Very cool idea and very cool video. As someone who finds it difficult to make friends in general, but definitely as an adult, I (for now) feel as though I can do it too 🤧 Inspirational!
I mean almost everyone that made a effort were internationals or Japanese with a strong English or foreign language ability. Honestly I’ve been clubbing in Tokyo, even if the language is not a problem, Japanese ppl are just shy in general.
Maaaan only if my girlfriend and I were there still! We went for a couple weeks and recently got back. We would have definitely joined! Love these videos.
as an additional vid for you, make sure you connect with them and make another vid with them for let us say 5 mos or a year, Just to see how deep your friendship can go.
There are more good people than bad people, in fact the danger there was not being kidnapped, the real danger today is to interact with real people, without being behind a screen
Bro has the courage to befriend this many people in 24 hours, and approach, and communicate- AND host a party?
I commend him. I COULD NEVER.
RESPECT!

YOU SO *COULD* EVER! But you have to turn that voice putting you and your capabilities down off or shit it out for a considerable time
we get it, you have no self confidence. it happens.
you mad?
@@123KOHGZwhy be rude? You need to grow up kid.
in the end, most of them were foreign lmaooo
Yep. That's the way it is here 🤣. Then they complain there's a loneliness epidemic.
Japanese doesn't function like this trust me
@@morlarav602 how do they function then
Well, because in Japan, most people who talk to strangers like this are either religious or scammers.

@@AIIIAKS-vn4co I too would be suspicious if some random guy came up to me and was like lets be friends come to my house today and lets party
the anime would be calledJESSEOGN can communicate
Lmao why is this not the top comment
would've been better if the first friend is a girl
LOL
I think you and this whole group should continue to get together like this frequently! That’s how you make the friendships last 🙏🏽
Yes that's a great idea, make a monthly video out of it. And play some tabletop games drunk :D
Thanks for the invite Jesse! Was an awesome time haha
Im so jealous of you all!! Im glad you enjoyed it :) ❤
Ayyyy, We found someone.
I remember seeing you in the "what song are you listening to" video and I listened to some of your songs afterwards! Your music is pretty good!
have you had sass with him
Your music is good, my friend. :)
It would be interesting to see this done in a more rural part of Japan.
Yeah, I was gonna say the same thing! I live in a rural part of Japan and can barely speak Japanese but I've made a handful of friends! :)
@@carloenixHow did you meet them? I'm moving to rural Japan and I'm a bit of an ambivert so I'm pretty nervous I'll have trouble meeting new people...

This is so wholesome and refreshing to see. This is easily one of my favorite videos on Japan, I love it! Subscribed.

love the retro game stuff!! ♥
please do another one , that was awsome
what an amazing ending ♥

In Japan 🗾 Communication Is The 🗝️ to Make Friends Hence....Proved !
"What's your definition of friend?"
That would be me, lol
absolutely love the concept of this video
Id rather be surprise of nihonjin really show up 😅 I would love to come with this kind of party too! Maybe you make a part 2?! 😂😂 down to osaka
The vibe is so wholesome
nice social experiment and vid man. good job :D
Wholesome ❤. Aww man. The courage to keep going--- love it
I'm confident now. I won't get lonely in Tokyo.
I am new to Hamburg, Germany and this is so inspiring LOL
I gotta go out on the street and hold up a sign.
Everyone is lonely in this world.. That why here's a hug for everyone :-)🥰
That'a amazing dude. Big courage!
Aye this was so nice, kudos Jesse !

I think you should collab with drunkinjp or someone like that, they hosts bar hopping etc also open to foreigners.
Out of all the people you talked to in this video, how many of them do you still keep in touch with to this day?
Are these life long friends or convenience friends to just hangout once or twice?
this is so heartwarming🥺💓 I would love to throw a party like this!

Very cool idea and very cool video. As someone who finds it difficult to make friends in general, but definitely as an adult, I (for now) feel as though I can do it too 🤧 Inspirational!
so inspiring to see this part of japan
Incredible video mate !
Living alone doesn't necessarily equate to loneliness. I'm a social person but I would love to live alone.
Jesse, you are so damned creative! Well done!
I mean almost everyone that made a effort were internationals or Japanese with a strong English or foreign language ability. Honestly I’ve been clubbing in Tokyo, even if the language is not a problem, Japanese ppl are just shy in general.

I've seen this concept done before in NYC by another content creator! Super cool to see you do it in Tokyo!
who was the creator?
What a valid effort !! Great execution on your work part
Maaaan only if my girlfriend and I were there still! We went for a couple weeks and recently got back. We would have definitely joined! Love these videos.
This is the type of content i want to watch 😊😊
wanna be friends -> house party today sounds like a cult invitation 😂😂
I love it. Good move to impact people.
as an additional vid for you, make sure you connect with them and make another vid with them for let us say 5 mos or a year, Just to see how deep your friendship can go.
I think you should try doing this in Osaka, people in Tokyo are too cold.
Trust me, It looks like you are about to kidnap them 😂😂😂
