Hi! Japanese person here! She made this song for her Japanese fans (Me, back in the day) She consulted Japanese language specialists to get the Japanese parts right. This video is so close to J-pop, and I love the bright colors and the loving of our food. So, white people, you can't call this racist when no Japanese person thinks that way.
@・ᴗ・ Exactly! They act as if someone eating Japanese food, Speaking Japanese and dressing up in cutesy clothing is something to be pressed about. I've never seen ONE Japanese person complaining that this song is racist. Only white Americans.
佐藤さくら actually when I seen this and I’m white and I’m (from) the USA I FUCKING LOVE THIS SONG, I don’t know why people from my Country are being assholes, also love your anime pfp btw (yes my keyboard is on drugs or something)
Ok you are amazing for saying that. I hate it when just because someone makes a song with words in a different language that is racist. Honestly it gets pretty annoying
She is huge in japan so she made this song for thanking her japanese fans and the cheoreographer, director, label of this music video is from japan and this mv shoot in tokyo.
To those people who aren't aware, Avril is a huge star in Japan. She is so big to the point where she has to record Girlfriend in Japanese. She also sang anime openings in one of One Piece movies and Annie Leonhart's character design from attack on titan was also inspired by her. She is also the first western artist in Japanese history to have three albums in a row to sell over a million copies in Japan. Avril has also lived in Japan for a few years, can speak little Japanese, and has multiple clothing line store in Japan. It make sense why Avril made Hello Kitty (and the fact that her directors, producers, etc. are all Japanese while making this vid) because her career wouldn't be as big as she is now without the help of her Japanese fans, hence I doubt she made Hello Kitty out of mockery.
•uses actually Japanese(that’s grammatically correct) •is literally just talking about a Sanrio character •Dressing and acting how she wants to because she’s an adult and can do whatever she wants How is this racist again, Shane??
Avert Disaster maybe because it’s not targeted towards you. You don’t get to tell people that they’re taking it too seriously. Literally how does that make sense, you’re not the one who people are saying Ching Ching too so no shit you’re not offended
Wtf are these comments, she said "みんな 最高 有難う 可愛い"(Mina saikou arigatou Kawaii) Which basically means "thank you, you're the best cutie". How are these words even racist to you? god dammit people
"I love Japanese culture and I spend half of my time in Japan. I flew to Tokyo to shoot this video...specifically for my Japanese fans, WITH my Japanese label, Japanese choreographers AND a Japanese director IN Japan." People accusing the video of cultural appropriation really don't know what Japanese media looks like.
You know whats funny, this song was made for her japanese fans, she did stay in japan and spoke japanese, the japanese fans loved this song while the non japanese folks said this song was racist
Huh? Im not japanese or from anywhere in asia but i dont find it racist at all, Im just here because i found it while watching a youtuber, I just wanted to hear the full thing :/
Americans: HOW DARE AVRIL LAVIGNE SING THIS SONG??? THIS IS CULTURAL APPROPRIATION!!1!!1 Japanese people: so Avril Lavigne made a song about Japan and Hello Kitty? Nice :)
Yes but when this song and video came out, Americans threw a hissyfit on Japan’s behalf causing the Japanese Embassy to basically tell us to sit down and shut up, Avril is a national treasure. It went on to be the #1 song in Japan and South Korea for many weeks. All the while Americans were offended.
I am 20 and somewhere along the line i learned that giving a fuck just ain't worth it lmao just listen to whatever tickles your fancy. I literally have classical orchestral music mixed with electropop and hip hop, among several others lol
American: “it is cultural appropriation because I said so...” Japanese: “but I love the video...” American: “what do you know about Japanese culture...”
@@hurting.angels4829 He made a parody video of this song, but was blatantly racist, and mentions Avril’s age throughout the video, probably trying to say “you’re 30 and you’re making these videos?”, except he should be asking himself that since he’s been making racist videos and creepy remarks towards animals and children for years, and there is NO justifying that, even if he says it was “his humor”, there’s rarely clips of him saying “just kidding!” after saying something controversial, creepy, or racist.
The fact that the Japanese liked this and americans thought it was racist tells me that people should leave it to those to be effected to determine whether it's an issue or not...
if i was japanese i'd kinda be offended. sorry if i go off but i'm british, people think we're all posh and honestly it pisses me off. those people don't even care if it annoys us.

How it happened was when someone made a racist version of this and some assholes decided to go assume that she was using Japan as a prop but it's not true
Everyone is saying she’s racist because her backup dancers look the same but most backup dancer wear the same clothes and have the same hair anyway lmao
skye if it was white people in the background it would literally be the same thing.- the point of background is for them to have the same hair and outfit to make the main person stand out
@@eleanorlinsley169 but y are they all asian, most artists have usually pretty diverse backup dancers, or they're the same race as the artist themselves. This just rubs the wrong way, it's not outwardly racist but it portrays racist undertones..
Yeah I don’t even trust a word shane dawson says because if a man has to say “I did not c*m on my cat” then you know he probably did and his words should not be trusted
I was bored looking up 90's music videos and was like "I want listen to something catch..... HELLO KITTY BY AVRIL LAVIGNE EXISTS AND I FORGOT THIS INDENIABLE FACT"
I actually forgot that this exists till i hear a little part of the song in a video and decided to come back and hear it. O just love the rhythm of this song tho
Somebody: "You can't be emo, kawaii, punk and pastel at the same time" Avril:HAHAHHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHHHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHHAHHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHHHAHHAHHAHHAHHAHAHHHAHHHHA
oh it's total cringe but I've seen more racist things, at least it's set in *modern* japanese culture rather than "sexing up" things like geishas, kimonos, and other important and long standing cultural elements
@@sbestie5396 i think he/she knows l. He/she's just pointing out that Asia is not just japan but korea and china are also(well i agree because there is also thailand,philippine,cambodia,vietnam,india,indonesia ect. That are also from asia)
I love you, Avril! You're my favorite Rock singer! Your music has helped me in my life & I appreciate you so much! I have some of your merch. Thanks for being awesome!
@@ascended6279 so he did black face in the past, said the T slur, and made a parody of this song saying that avril was racist and that she butchers japanese even though he made racist jokes in the parody
Because most of the time white people are so entitled and easy to offend that they find racism everywhere when even the targeted minority isn’t offended at all.
Shane was racist as hell in that video. He also said a lot of false things about Avril, like that she "butchers Japanese." She pronounced all the words very well, she didn't butcher anything. He also made a joke about "all asians look the same" which is, yknow, racist
Guys. It's not racist in the slightest. 「みなさいこありがとう」(mina saiko arigatou) quite literally translates to "Thanks so much for watching", so it's actually more of the opposite. Also, if she wants to dress like that, so be it. I think she looks great. If you're just here to hate on her because she enjoys another culture, well, you're just shit. People can have their own interests and opinions on certain things and it doesn't always pertain to you.
KatieKuma it's the makeup AND the straight ahead lighting that flattens shadows. This is how avril looks irl .... Avril-Lavigne-goes-bra-make-free-shopping-trip-husband-Chad-Kroeger.html google
@take off ur pants & quack-it i care about how hes done many pedophilic things towards children and how he used to have a "show" where he had an 8 year old puppet and would talk about sex as if it was a real kid 😊
@@error_san_ I totally agree. For those who are defending him: Please understand that there is a difference between edgy humour and racism, bestiality and pedofilia. It stops being funny (if it ever was) when he swaps gum with a 15 year old, kisses a 12 year old, touches and talks about his pets and some of his fans (and his 12 year old niece) in a sexual way. He is normalizing pedofilia, bestiality and racism. Making edgy humour out of racism would look more like what Jojo Rabbit did, or like what a lot of shows did back then, making lighthearted fun of racists not POCs (at least not for being POCs). He has never actually apologized for this or even adressed it. Please inform yourself about the person you're trying to defend and the effect he's had.
@take off ur pants & quack-it I don't think that's how respect works. You clearly aren't respecting this persons opinion to not care about what Shane says about music and racism. And if you are of the opinion that "disrespectful" people don't deserve respect then you shouldn't respect Shane, a person that has disrespected black people by doing blackface and mocking them for being "dumb" and "lazy". A person that has treated mental disorders as a curse that turns people into some sort of automatic dangerous murder machine. Someone that has disrespected children by heavily sexualizing his content towards them and normalizes rape, bestiality and pedofilia. Someone that disrespects his own fans so much he not only feeds them all of this toxic content but doesn't even adress the true concerns people have with his behaviour, and even when he does, he puts no effort into fixing it or changing. Not to mention promises a 9 part series were the three last parts would be a fully transparent look at how much money they've made, the James Charles drama from an insider point of view, etc and then ditches it once he's made the money. Please get your morals straight. Realize that his behaviour is completely toxic. He normalizes things like racism, bestiality, pedofilia (ik I've said it a lot, but he does it a lot). It helped a lot of his fans get groomed into that situation. How would you feel if you were insulted, attacked and discriminated just by the colour of your skin? How would you feel if you were raped? How would you feel if you were molested and taken advantaged of as a child?(or now) What if it happened to your younger sibling? To a friend of yours? Would you still respect him? Would you still be able to call this song racist after defending his "edgy humour"?
@Mintets I actually like some of his content and I don't really care about the controversies because I just want to watch the videos in peace. I know no one asked, I'm sorry, I just wanted to share.
Imagine having to dance to this garbage where some white lady mashed a bunch of stereotypical shit from your pop culture and says some shit in your language for a dumb music video lol. I would need a hug too. The only reason why anyone would do this is for cash.
@@7907-u8h Or OR it's because they were directed to do the stoneface attitude for the dance, literally what is the point of you. You go to a song you don't like to talk shit, talk about needing a life sadsack. LOL

That's called being "BIG IN JAPAN". Some U.S. or international artists are like that.
Actually Girlfriend was recorded in many languages such as Portuguese, Spanish and Japanese.

Does no one realize that is the entire point of a backup dancer? To be in the background and just accompany the main person.
its just a little weird. not racist but kinda unsettling
@@geko9214 How is it unsettling? I'm honestly asking. I don't see issue with it. It is a catchy tune. 🤷♀️
skye if it was white people in the background it would literally be the same thing.- the point of background is for them to have the same hair and outfit to make the main person stand out
@@eleanorlinsley169 but y are they all asian, most artists have usually pretty diverse backup dancers, or they're the same race as the artist themselves. This just rubs the wrong way, it's not outwardly racist but it portrays racist undertones..

Shane Dawson: *makes parody video of this and talking how it racist to Japanese people*
Also Shane Dawson: *literally does black face*
Shane Dawson who is literally not Japanese so how would he know if it’s “racist to Japanese people”
Me, a Japanese person: KA KA KA KAWAII
Yeah I don’t even trust a word shane dawson says because if a man has to say “I did not c*m on my cat” then you know he probably did and his words should not be trusted

I’m so glad that people in 2020 are still coming back to this
I was bored looking up 90's music videos and was like "I want listen to something catch..... HELLO KITTY BY AVRIL LAVIGNE EXISTS AND I FORGOT THIS INDENIABLE FACT"
I actually forgot that this exists till i hear a little part of the song in a video and decided to come back and hear it. O just love the rhythm of this song tho
yep, i used to love watching her music videos but then i stopped once there was a rumor where she had a clone.
jaja
yeh I kinda saw a meme saying “K-k-ka KAKYOIN” LMAO
Avril Lavigne didn't run, didn't walk, YET SHE RULED so e-girls could even step.

You made my plastic straw drop out of my mouth
you can call this cringey if you want, but this is absolutely not racist
Dav Dancerplayer because Shane Dawson made a video abt how this is racist to Japanese ppl even tho Japanese ppl appreciate this song and like it
@@zaviezzz.9398 shane is the racist one lmao-
oh it's total cringe but I've seen more racist things, at least it's set in *modern* japanese culture rather than "sexing up" things like geishas, kimonos, and other important and long standing cultural elements
Lol it is doe
Jess Russell no it’s not

As a japenese, i am obsessed with this song
Thank God for a real Japanese opinion. If Japanese don’t feel offended then who labeled this as racist? 🤦🏻♀️
@@authorjunkie4624 an idiot labeled this as racist.
Same
Wait can you please translate the japanese line the only thing I understand is kawaii and arigato lol
@@maroulaki8113 I think the first few words mean "thank you for watching" I could be wrong though :)

this song is not racist. shane dawson made his version racist want to know why ? Because he’s racist.
Can someone spill the tea for me? Idk what's going on😂
@@ascended6279 so he did black face in the past, said the T slur, and made a parody of this song saying that avril was racist and that she butchers japanese even though he made racist jokes in the parody
oh and he called a little girl "sexy"

The fact that the Japanese loved the song when the foreigners actually find it racist lmaoooo
for real tho?
sunny chan yup
It’s just pathetic SJWs who aren’t actually helping the world
Because most of the time white people are so entitled and easy to offend that they find racism everywhere when even the targeted minority isn’t offended at all.
lol I am japanese then
This video was posted five months after I was born! This is my favorite song and I was even named after Avril Lavigne! I love her ❤️
*and me 2 days ago be4 my b-day hhh she is a diva ❤*
This aged way better than Shane verison
Stepneyfan 118 FACTS 😌
the Shane one was to make fun of this video
Tell me about it
PERIODT
Shane was racist as hell in that video. He also said a lot of false things about Avril, like that she "butchers Japanese." She pronounced all the words very well, she didn't butcher anything. He also made a joke about "all asians look the same" which is, yknow, racist
I hate the drop of of this song but the “come, come kitty, kitty, you’re so pretty, pretty” is too melodically catchy to NOT SCREAM

it's weird how people think that something completely harmless is racist but then the most obviously racist things are dismissed
Are you calling Avril racist?

no one has called this song racist in like 7 years can u guys comment something else now

this song was ahead of its time.

Guys. It's not racist in the slightest. 「みなさいこありがとう」(mina saiko arigatou) quite literally translates to "Thanks so much for watching", so it's actually more of the opposite. Also, if she wants to dress like that, so be it. I think she looks great. If you're just here to hate on her because she enjoys another culture, well, you're just shit. People can have their own interests and opinions on certain things and it doesn't always pertain to you.
@@SweetsAvril ?
Thank you. You are amazing for saying that!

This really isn't racist. She really did just put a punky spin on lolita/kawaii trends that originated from Japan. Shane was racist.
Who even cares about Shane’s opinion... Never liked the guy, never gonna like him after his pedo allegations
@take off ur pants & quack-it i care about how hes done many pedophilic things towards children
and how he used to have a "show" where he had an 8 year old puppet and would talk about sex as if it was a real kid 😊
yeah. you right. she's appreciating the kawaii culture. if that's racist all weebs would get cancelled.
@@error_san_ I totally agree. For those who are defending him: Please understand that there is a difference between edgy humour and racism, bestiality and pedofilia. It stops being funny (if it ever was) when he swaps gum with a 15 year old, kisses a 12 year old, touches and talks about his pets and some of his fans (and his 12 year old niece) in a sexual way. He is normalizing pedofilia, bestiality and racism. Making edgy humour out of racism would look more like what Jojo Rabbit did, or like what a lot of shows did back then, making lighthearted fun of racists not POCs (at least not for being POCs). He has never actually apologized for this or even adressed it. Please inform yourself about the person you're trying to defend and the effect he's had.
@take off ur pants & quack-it I don't think that's how respect works. You clearly aren't respecting this persons opinion to not care about what Shane says about music and racism. And if you are of the opinion that "disrespectful" people don't deserve respect then you shouldn't respect Shane, a person that has disrespected black people by doing blackface and mocking them for being "dumb" and "lazy". A person that has treated mental disorders as a curse that turns people into some sort of automatic dangerous murder machine. Someone that has disrespected children by heavily sexualizing his content towards them and normalizes rape, bestiality and pedofilia. Someone that disrespects his own fans so much he not only feeds them all of this toxic content but doesn't even adress the true concerns people have with his behaviour, and even when he does, he puts no effort into fixing it or changing. Not to mention promises a 9 part series were the three last parts would be a fully transparent look at how much money they've made, the James Charles drama from an insider point of view, etc and then ditches it once he's made the money.
Please get your morals straight. Realize that his behaviour is completely toxic. He normalizes things like racism, bestiality, pedofilia (ik I've said it a lot, but he does it a lot). It helped a lot of his fans get groomed into that situation. How would you feel if you were insulted, attacked and discriminated just by the colour of your skin? How would you feel if you were raped? How would you feel if you were molested and taken advantaged of as a child?(or now) What if it happened to your younger sibling? To a friend of yours? Would you still respect him? Would you still be able to call this song racist after defending his "edgy humour"?
Shane: this is racist.
Also Shane: *makes a parody of this song*
Also also Shane: **Says the n-word and does blackface many times for "skit/comedy purposes"**
Hes honestly such a hypocrite
@@fadalerabrasool4540 Right!?
