The first 100 people to use code JAPAN at the link below will get 60% off of Incogni: incogni.com/japan
Pretty ironic that the service isn't available in Japan despite the code lol.
But I guess the Japanese law on personal information sees to that, so there's no demand?
LoL the 4:42 got me oh yea I didnt realize that LoL ていうか、スポンサー誰
i think the right word should be more sophisticated as almost anyone can appreciate it.
western ones are more hard to fathom as it often leave a bitter taste in the mouth.
Bro eating a bowl of gyudon in the middle of an idol performance is actually peak comedy
Manarisu is peak
Can’t get more meta then that he’s becoming Waldo
Naw, fam. This is PEAK OTAKU! I'm here for it!
it's probably not udon but rather a beef bowl since that's what he's obliged to eat haha
its not udon its gyudon
about the 米国 = America part, i believe the explanation in the video is correct but there’s an explanation which is more well known-ish here in japan which says that it’s taken from the old way to write America which is 亜米利加(literally just a combination of kanjis that reads “Amerika”), but the first kanji (亜) is already used for the spelling of Asia(亜細亜) so they went for the 2nd kanji, 米 and it turned into 米国
I kind of like it. Yeah. We got them amber waves of grain.

I'd be like "abeirika" 😂
0:54 it’s really beautiful how there’s an ape in all of us. Deep in our hearts.
Monkey see monkey do
🤣🤣🤣🤣 shes so funny omg
Return to monkey is in all of us
We just need to belive in it
no, I am not black nor african
so true, one way or another during a rage one will eventually let out screaming ape sounds
Japanese wordplay is so funny and same time genius if you misread it it changes the whole sentence.
Japanese can't survive 5 seconds without wordplay, can't blame them when they have a script so ripe for it
Multiple readings and multiple alphabets will do that.
Me reading nisioishin works
Its funny because its just like those signs in english that are like
SA SA
LE LE
Doesn't misreading words always change a sentence?
The Kawa drink genuinely made me laugh out loud. caught me off guard.
Yeah, when I saw it still blurred I was like "oh god it's gonna be Monster isn't it" and it was LOL
I just realized that kawa means coffee in polish
It's interesting how similar sounding words can mean completely different things in a lot of languages
I mean they are pronounced differently though
I never drink Monster but I'm going to call it Kawa now
Right bro was inhaling the paint off the can 😂
With Genbaneko, the worker cat meme you've referenced, you actually got his origin backwards ^^;;
He was originally a meme that formed as a variation of the "phone cat" meme, and evolved into primarily depicting workplace incidents. He became so well known as the "workplace incident cat," that he ended up being co-opted as the mascot for the Japanese equivalent of OSHA, and is used to depict examples of what not to do! So rather than a mascot that became a meme, he was a meme that became a mascot!
Nothing quite like watching a fun streamer have live rage-fuelled aneurysms

@@Scruffy-qi3ikI heard monkey noises
@@thecamelchannel1467 I wonder if she's tried e.g. Getting Over It.
The gyudon guy is a very literal living meme. He's keeping the meme alive as much as the meme is keeping him alive. I aspire to be like him.
"as much as the meme is keeping him alive" lmfao
Bro must be dying from all the sodium for real
@@bardsolasthat's the fun part, because from what I gathered he's actually just hovering between slightly healthier than the average Japanese person.

Does he own the meme, or does the meme own him?
I loved how cruel the 自動 one was
Over here in the states I once went to a restaurant that had similar style bathrooms. They said MEN (this restroom is not for you) WOMEN (this restroom is no for you) in a similar style. One time I sat by the restrooms and it was funny watching people go into the wrong one and get embarrassed.
@@ezraho8449 is that intentional? What the hell hahah
@@pigmentpeddler5811 100% intentional. It was a Irish pub type place and the entire place had a silly kind of vibe.

Yeah that was pretty mid maybe she was waiting for the end times and thought that was as good as any.

I died at the part where the old guy drank Monster💀 Now that I’ve seen it as 川 I can’t unsee it also lmaoo, also the Soviet Union didn’t exist during WWI so I guess that guy didn’t realize that
When did the civil war in Russia start? Who signed a peace treaty with the Germans in 1917?
@@desuno2609 The Soviet Union wasn’t formed until the end of 1922. Just because it was in a civil war doesn’t mean that the state existed. At the time it was still the Russian Federation. Tsar Nicholas the 2nd was still the leader at the time.
@sunk Yeah I really don't know where I was going with that one man fuck I'm braindead
@@desuno2609 All good, I appreciate that you acknowledged your mistake tho!
@sunk If anything I appreciate you correcting me in a polite manner. I really just wasted your time with my stupidity 😔
I sent that NATTO tweet to my Japanese friend and it was the first thing she read at 5 in the morning. Let me tell you, she woke up QUICK xD.
By the time she noticed that the world is in fact NOT ENDING, she was wide awake xD
i've been replaying 4:18 - 4:44 for way too much times now, god i love japanese wordplay 😂
It's crazy how some foreigners have mastered the Japanese language when some characters are so similar that even I, a Japanese person, can make mistakes!
私は英語を学習中の日本人です。すでに知っているミームを英語で再度聞いてまた笑えるのが楽しいし、投稿者さん簡潔に背景を説明されるのがすごくお上手だと思います…！(私も英語話者の友人に日本のミームを紹介することがあるのですが、長い説明をしている間に面白さが無くなります)
Dang I would love to hear your explanations!

7:28 I would be that guy too dense to get the pun, too scared to ask anyone why it wont open, and just stand there like the baka gaijin that I am
Your explanations of the puns were all on point. The NATO/NATTO meme was especially good.
0:54 I would recognize those monkee screechs any-giba-where!!!
wait, fr?!
As a Japanese person, I think this person understands Japan better than any other Japanese.
I think more Japanese people should watch this video.
結構いろんな日本のネタ取り上げられてて嬉しい😂
now i'll always call monster energy 川 lol
In Japanese slang, the monster is called "魔剤mazai. Please search by kanji.
0:30
yo wtf he's really good at drawing
I love how Manarisu is basically a living experiment about eating beef bowls for 4 years straight
@ 2:45 The Chinese correctly translates the Monster logo. Remember that the logo is 666 in Hebrew. 666 in Chinese Monster claw. (Monster claws are a common trait with Hebrew talking people according to Borat who himself is a Hebrew.)
Manarisu's back! He's got some awesome resolve
I thought the wordplay was very clear, thank you for the explanation!
2:17 Monster Energy asked the Japanese government to prohibit the specification of the word "川" because of the similarity of the word "川" to its own brand.
This is a joke lol.
0:54 Most hinged Japanese streamer xD
Manarisu, what a legend lol. He'll never stop eating Gyudon, even when he's in the middle of concert
*"That's great but can the dog get you a job"* Asian mom moment right there 🤣
Someone won't fell for that sus 自動 right??? Lol
1:42 Reminds me of british people laughing at Americans drinking straight Ribena

The multi-level marketing really hit home - that exact situation happened to me lol.
Oh my lord! We NEED more Gary stories he has such a fun storytelling voice. OH AND JAPANALYSIS IS ONLY 4K AWAY FROM 100K Lets gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Great video as usual. Your friend’s story reminds me of something similar that happened to me a few years ago.
Got a visit from a Jehovah’s Witness couple, who wanted to discuss God and stuff. I invited them in to play Mario Party and said if they beat me, I’d attend their group meeting. We talked a lot about religion (I’m agnostic). It was a rather pleasant conversation, even if I didn’t agree with all their views. I fortunately came first and didn’t have to follow through with my gamble.
They came only once again to give me chocolate and coffee to say thanks for the chat and the game. It was pretty wholesome.
Also the famous 牛丼 guy makes me a little sad because I lived at Yoshinoya for like a year when I wasn’t good at cooking and I didn’t get any recognition, ha ha.
This is quite random, but yesterday, I was passing near Shakujii Station, Tokyo, and there were 2 JW folks trying to recruit new followers.
I was alittle taken aback because one of them, a young woman in her early 20s was very attractive and had a great beaming smile.
Often cult followers have this quirky, spacey air which alarms you, but she looked totally normal, or actually more wholesome than most of todays youths.
I confess for a moment or two I thought, chatting with this girl might not be so bad. LOL.
I’m shocked they didn’t say that video games are of the devil or something.
Them after playing Mario Party one time: "Actually, we don't think there is a God after all"
5:58 説明出すくれるため、ありがとう
1:24 old granny magically becomes younger, regaining long black hair
Your channel is so nice, you really found your own niche. I really like how you break down things and I learned a lot about Japan that I have never heard anywhere else before. Your channel has really big potential.
Could you make a video about common Japanese Internet slang in the future?
4:18 is literally my sense of humour. It's just taking a sentence and tweaking some letters to change the meaning entirely, to make it funnier. I love knowing that even in Japan, people do this.
That dude sending the dog gas mask when asked about getting a job, is peak ADHD.
7:22 is a next level troll 😂
Nah, it’s deflection. As someone who has been unemployed before, I’ve used similar tactics to get my parents off my back.
The "oni" kanji in Japan means "ghost" in Chinese.
Fun Fact :
"Kawa" means "coffee" in Polish.
4:38 I would've never, in my five years of studying japanese, expected it to end with a tsundere girlfriend sound (edit: if you learn one language, you forget another. I totally didn't just make a stupid grammar mistake)
日本を紹介してくれてありがとな
the america kanji lore got me laughing so hard, that was so good
The memes are great a nice blend of weird/unique and interesting things made into jokes
Trying to learn Japanese but its really difficult with how the characters (Kanji) have multiple readings and a lot look similar and even more so with the use of certain fonts. I'm not great at self study since I'm terrible with almost anything academic so I think I'll need a teacher regardless. I have heard bad things about language schools not really caring if you fall behind and that makes me worry since I bad I am slow too.
Any ideas on how I can learn better since my dream is to live in Japan one day for the rest of my life and escape western culture and enjoy the Japanese country side.
Just keep up your studying and you'll get more comfortable with the language. Yeah, the kanji can be really difficult but you don't have to treat it as a race. I did like 3 months of Duolingo and about a year of Anki memorization cards and while you'll be nowhere fluent, you'll see the progress. Even 5 minutes a day helps.
What's wrong with the west
It would help if you read a lot of Japanese texts. Learn Kanji with context. It would never stick to your memory without it. Many Japanese natives learn to read Kanji through children's Manga and books, which usually have phonetic guidance besides Kanji.
@@tykep1009 Thank you, I don't have any manga in Japanese but I'll look to get some. I've heard context is important too from a friend.
@@kiwi_bird Thank you, I currently use Duolingo everyday for about 10mins on average per day and am at 261 days. I tried Anki but don't really understand how to use it so I gave up on that and stuck with Duolingo.
With Kanji, how can I better remember which one is which for the Onyomi & Kunyomi since I always get them confused?
What a wholesome story at the end!
I always assumed the automatic doors were an attempt to keep in the ludicrous amounts of AC every japanese store has. Everytime I wisit Japan I get a cold within three days.
1:44 Ben from Jet Lag once drank this from the bottle on a Shinkansen
Hey Japanalysis can you stop the video for a second I'm in the middle of a ranked match thx
Winton obawat
akshually here in mainland china we call monster energy 魔爪 (mo2zhua3) which gives the same evil vibe as 鬼爪 imo 😂
btw, kawa in polish means coffee so I was laughing about it
the worst doors are those with buttons that you have to press a little harder for them to open, i can never tell if they are closed and locked or if I'm just not pushing hard enough
Holy crap the streamer had me dying she straight up sounds like a monkey 💀
Monster is the drink of Kanagawa! And if you live in Kawasaki, you drink two.
I understood the NATTO pun thanks to you, but ngl before the explanation I was just like 🤨
Correction - Chinese words are not abbreviate. It is the other way round - other languages used phonetic to say the names of the countries in Chinese. Thus it is longer. 米国 is also not a Japanese only thing. In Chinese dialect Teochew - USA is pronounced as Mi Gou ( phonetic ). The Mi is pronounced the same way as you would pronounce the Chinese word 米 which mean rice.

i was wondering about japanese memes one day and while watching this video, for no reason i felt the urge to watch boondocks in japanese. it was great
Loved finally hearing Gary's voice in your video telling his story, after being included as a side character in many of your stories in previous videos!
Tnakachan seems like she has a great connection with her animal ancestors.
5:50 "by the Soviet Union in World War 1" 😭😭😭😭😭
bruh World War 1 was literally one of the reasons for the revolutions in 1917, the soviet union possibly couldn't even exist without it
Congratulations for reaching 100k!
"Jet lag the game" also did that exact same thing with the sauce. (Episode 2 of Capture The Flag).
The 川 meme is the funniest for me. It reminds me of the time I ordered 7up in a non-English speaking country by calling it Seven Up. I got a very confused look in response.
But... it literally says it on the label. How?
It's probably because the country has a different word for 7, while they probably called it Seven, the english word
@@tja4501 Tbf most country also calls it 7 in this situation (with their own accent) i'm French and brands like 7up, 7Eleven, 4chan, etc... are prononced with the English numbers (it doesn't work for everything though, for exemple PS4, 3DS, XBOX360, etc... uses the french prononciation of the numbers, and from what i know it's it's the same for other european countries in that case)
0:06 It's so strangley cute
The Texas accent was hilarious, coming from an authentic Texas native
4:42 i think that was meant for Cirno

as always your videos are a treat

In japanese
America：亜米利加（アメリカamerika）→米国(beikoku)
France：仏蘭西（フランスfuransu）→仏国（fukkoku)
UK：英吉利（イギリスigirisu）→英国（eikoku)
Germany：独逸（ドイツdoitsu）→独国(dokkoku)
Russia：露西亜（ロシアroshia)→露国(rokoku)
Asia：亜細亜（アジアajia)
These readings are not of Chinese origin, but are uniquely Japanese.

5:51 Soviet Union was formed only in 1922, and WW1 ended in 1918
I got my friend to watch Welcome To The NHK years ago and after he finished watching it, an old class mate of his asked to meet him at a place, it turns out it was exactly a Multi Leveling Marketing Scheme / Pyramid Scheme. I told my friend to be cautious before he went and jokingly said "Hopefully it's not a Pyramid Scheme". Afterwards I tell him that it was definitely a Pyramid scheme and that NHK was right.
As a Latter-Day Saints in Vietnam, the elders not being able to go door to door has been a blessing in (paper-thin) disguise.
that granpa who drank monster is definitely punching shojis and having heart palpitations
8:07 We Japanese certainly sometimes use kanji to denote the name of a country. However, this is not an imitation of the Chinese naming system, but simply an adaptation of the sounds of the Chinese characters. Therefore, the kanji used are completely different.
German＝独逸 Doitsu（独国 どくこく Dokukoku）
England＝英吉利 Egerisu（英国 えいこく Eikoku）
France＝仏蘭西 Furansu（仏国 ふつこく Futukoku）
America＝亜米利加 Amerika（米国 べいこく Beikoku）
Canada＝加奈陀 Kanada（加国 かこく Kakoku）
Russia＝露西亜 Roshia（露国 ろこく Rokoku）
I was very surprised when I learned that “Buddha’s Kingdom” meant France!
@@theKobus Yeah, it may feel strange or funny for french people.
@@theKobus In Chinese, all the western country names that has meaning, are made auspicious when possible. France 法國 = Law Country, Germany 德國 = Righteous Country, England 英國 = Hero Country, USA 美國 = Beautiful Country (the 米國 is also still correct, but archaic). There are a lot that is just to immitate the sound, which characters don't have meaning - like Canada 加拿大 (add bigger take?), Portugal 葡萄牙 (grape tooth), Spain 西班牙 (regular western tooth?). But the original pronounciation (Middle Chinese) resembles the Japanese, Cantonese, Hokkien, and Korean more than the modern Mandarin Chinese.
BABE!! NEW JAPANALYSIS VIDEO IS OUT!!!
"There's no way your bright skin would last forever, idiot" is such an aggressive way of advertising cosmetics. 😂
glad to see a new episode, keep it up!
Idk why but the way you put translation notes in Japanese was so unexpected
9:34 that’s sketchy, Jehovah witnesses are required to have a partner with them at all times

Japanalysis rock!
The little working cat guy was the first gatchapon I bought when I arrived in Japan. He's become a favorite character of mine
Could you explain a meme in Japan called yajuu senpai or inmu? I’m always interested in it but it so hard to get in.
P.s. Like your vid, keep on it! ❤
It's pretty impressive that you have a friend.
can someone link the man with the monster drink

i really love this channel!
keep up the good work man!
8:48 正確には"米"の"bei"の発音を採用したのではなく別の読み方である"me"を採用しています
A"me"ricaの"me"です。
ちなみになぜ"A"を採用しなかったのかというと、それを採用した場合その漢字は"亞"になり日本人の感覚からするとかなり禍々しい雰囲気となるからという説と、日本語と比べ英語は単語の最初の発音が弱い傾向にあるため日本人がAを聞き取れなかったと言う説があります。
実際に、日本にはアメリカ人に対する差別用語として"メリケン(Meriken)"というものが存在するのでおそらく後者が正しいです
日本人にとって、十字架が含まれている"亞"が不吉な印象を与えるのは面白い皮肉ですね
