Television interview and performance at the 58th Annual Tanabata Festival. See RunnyRunny's video response that he shot of my live show! Runny's video: • Video
Hey you looked pretty young back then ! Your Japanese sounded pretty good too ! The brief interview was great to know some of your background and how you came to Japan and how you became a professional juggler ! Now I know you fully real name ! Thanks Eric and love watching your channel and hope to see more of you older interviews , and professional juggling 👍 6 Noms !
Thanks Sam! Yeah, I've finally got over the nervousness and can ditch my naturally shy character most of the time now. Like the football story! Come on out my way to the beach! I need your help shooting a video!
Multitalented, charismatic, humorous and a natural in front of the camera. What is there that you cannot do Eric?! This was an awesome blast from the past!
Thanks Runny for the Explanation! Nice video response too! Ericsurf6 took me out for my 20th birthday today in Kabuki-cho, Shinjuku. As Ken Tanaka says, Ericsurf6 is a very nice man.
This was fun! TH-cam suggesting this December 17, 2020. Been a subscriber for a few years but never ventured back and looked at the old videos. 240p... Those were the days. Literally.
Hey Hiko, Yeah this was broadcast on my local cable station, Shonan Cable. Say, when are you coming out for a surf? I was out Scuba diving today down in Izu!
Hello maneneko san! What he said to Eric in the end, that was called Japanese ''Tsukkomi''. He really didn't mean anything like GO HOME. It's supposed to be funny part but it just didn't look like, did it? I understand what you are saying though. Sometimes we have to be careful of doing those kinds of JP attitude to foreigner.
Lol, look at this guy. Just like coach used to say in high school "when you get to the end zone don't look like a dumbass and start dancing! Just look cool and act like you've been there a 1000 times before". Cool that you got to be on TV man. You fucking rule! Oh yeah, vacation started, so now I can come down to Shonan pretty much anytime :D
This was just recommended on my TH-cam front page and, of course, I had to watch it. This was a fun interview. Now to fill in the intervening time to see what you've been unto for the last 15 years. :-) (I'm only a recent subscriber)
That was great! I love to hear you speak Japanese. Of course I have no idea how well you pronounce it, but they seemed to understand everything you said, so I'm impressed! ;-)
NichiBei, We were working off of a loose script and I knew pretty much what they were going to ask of me so I was comfortable going in. I still missed that one question though! What did she ask?
Got this is my recommended, I'm already a subscriber but nice to see this! I think they were ready to get the hook at the end and drag you off 😂 such a fun interview!!
Interesting that TH-cam has been recommending this old video lately. Maybe it's cause the festival was cancelled this year for the first time in 69 years.
I swear I’ve watched all your videos over the years but i just now seen this one lol I knew you spoke japanese but I had no idea you was so fluent, 僕は日本語を勉強しています。
Me too! This popped up out of nowhere on my feed. I know primarily Eric's recent work, where he gives little indication of just how fluent he is. Totally impressed.
Eric, your accent sounds great when you speak Japanese. I have a friend that lived in Japan for several years, and he never fully learned the language, he said it was a VERY difficult language to learn. Is it true that they have like 3 different alphabets? You rock man! cool vid!
Dude, I get back in August and am totally up for a quick surf or even some kind of surftrip later that month. By the way, a surfer who can resist the urge to get in the waves, and scuba! I'm impressed! Ahhh, Izu is fantastic isn't it. Peace
It was kinda she cut into your conversation and spoke a little too fast. What she said is : まだこの記録は更新され続けているって事なんですか？ ( Mada kono kiroku ha koushin sare tsuzuke te iru tte koto nan desu ka? ) So it goes like this: *Does this Guinness record still keep updating by you ? *Are you still trying to make a new record of this ? Anyway your answer '' Hai '' has been accepted as proper. Don't worry !
Ericsurf6 It just appeared on my feed and it’s off your TV playlist. Loved today’s 3-bento box train trip. Cheaper to buy than here in Western Australia, that’s for sure. 🍱
So cool! 😎 You look almost the same then as you do now. Must be from taking the stairs lol. Congrats on being in the Guiness Book. Awesome. You are so talented, and truly a Jack of all trades. Tfs ❤️
You are welcome Eric Actually this is my second account my first account already following you since 2012 unfortunately I lost that account I hope you continue making good vid in the future
Yeah, he's right it is a very difficult language to learn. And yes there are 3 alphabets (the hirgana, the katakana, and of course the Chinese-derived Kanji). There's about 40-some-odd number of hiragana and 40-some-odd number of katakana; each with their own pronouncia. And thousands of Kanji; and just about every Kanji has more than one pronounciation. I know of one particular Kanji character that has up to twelve different pronounciations based on how its used in different Kanji combonations.
Randomly came up in my suggestions. Such a awesome throwback!
Hmmmm, for some reason TH-cam is promoting this old video.
I just found this gem while binge watching your channel. Eric, there's no other way to say it - you're a legend!
Dude!
Never knew about this...
very very cool!
Guiness book and all!
You still alive?
* I'm seeing this in 2018. Give me "liked" if you see it in 2018 too! *
No
Watching this years after discovering you. You absolutely nailed it dude you're a natural!
Hey you looked pretty young back then ! Your Japanese sounded pretty good too ! The brief interview was great to know some of your background and how you came to Japan and how you became a professional juggler ! Now I know you fully real name ! Thanks Eric and love watching your channel and hope to see more of you older interviews , and professional juggling 👍 6 Noms !
Cheers David~! 🍻
You're a legend

Wow. That was really amazing. Well done man.

Thanks Sugar!
This video came up as a recommended video tonight, after the premiere of ekiben video! 😊 Eric san, wakai! nihongo perapera! Yay! in the guinness book!
TH-cam is recommending some of my older contents lately.
@@ericsurf6 That's great!!
That was great! I love to hear you speak Japanese. Of course I have no idea how well you pronounce it, but they seemed to understand everything you said, so I'm impressed! ;-)
Thanks!
This was fun!
Poped up in my recommended list in 2020. Yeay
Amazing people are still watching this.
NichiBei, We were working off of a loose script and I knew pretty much what they were going to ask of me so I was comfortable going in.
I still missed that one question though! What did she ask?
Looked like fun 🤩
Nice job, Eric. I'd be nervous speaking Japanese on TV for fear of not understanding what they are asking!
EricSurf6 is the man. Cheers #Teamgetsome
Thanks Marcus for giving this oldie a watch! ✔💯🤩
Awesome !
Nice video!
Yeah, I thought the guy came on a bit strong too, but they had a really busy day of live interviews so I felt a bit sorry for them.
Got this is my recommended, I'm already a subscriber but nice to see this! I think they were ready to get the hook at the end and drag you off 😂 such a fun interview!!
Interesting that TH-cam has been recommending this old video lately. Maybe it's cause the festival was cancelled this year for the first time in 69 years.
I also got it as recommended. A trip to the past is always interesting. Nice video.
wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!good stuff for book of memories Eric!!!!!!!!!
Cheers Luigi~!
That was a fun time!
So awesome.
I swear I’ve watched all your videos over the years but i just now seen this one lol I knew you spoke japanese but I had no idea you was so fluent, 僕は日本語を勉強しています。
Me too! This popped up out of nowhere on my feed. I know primarily Eric's recent work, where he gives little indication of just how fluent he is. Totally impressed.
Amazing!!!!
🇬🇧
It was just what I was going to comment about!! :O
Very cool!
This was great to see!! How come it's never popped up b4?
12 years ago...., Earl was starring as Eric Berg.
🇨🇦your a famous guy. Great work.
wow, eric.so nostalgic
Eric, your accent sounds great when you speak Japanese. I have a friend that lived in Japan for several years, and he never fully learned the language, he said it was a VERY difficult language to learn. Is it true that they have like 3 different alphabets? You rock man! cool vid!

Cool!.. Greetings from PH. :)
It was kinda she cut into your conversation and spoke a little too fast.
What she said is :
まだこの記録は更新され続けているって事なんですか？
( Mada kono kiroku ha koushin sare tsuzuke te iru tte koto nan desu ka? )
So it goes like this:
*Does this Guinness record still keep updating by you ?
*Are you still trying to make a new record of this ?
Anyway your answer '' Hai '' has been accepted as proper. Don't worry !
Very impressive, Eric. 🌟 Very.
How did you find this video?
Ericsurf6 It just appeared on my feed and it’s off your TV playlist. Loved today’s 3-bento box train trip. Cheaper to buy than here in Western Australia, that’s for sure. 🍱
Watching Throwback in 2020. Anyone else?
Woohoo! Yeah me!
WOW never seen this one!!!! 🤘🏻😊
Whoa! You dug deep to find this one! ✔💯💃

Actually, the surf is flat. I am going Scuba Diving today!
Why is this recommended to me after 12 years hahah
I know, right? It's a mystery!
@@ericsurf6 I do watch all your videos maybe that’s why :)

good job!
@Ericzsurf6 how long have you lived in Japan for?
+natwat123 About 20 years now.
Why is TH-cam only suggesting this now!!!
It's always good to have a look into the deep past once in a while.
2019
nice
Seems like TH-cam recommender system does a good job for Eric 😂
Ha ha! Yeah, they went deep to find this one.
You should be a guess in Cool Japan or something.
Do you have roots in scandinavia maybe? =) Berg is a common swedish lastname.
wow! pls say you still have that shirt....
Only have one record... Archery for Mountain goat... Kewl Beans Compadre....
I prefer the food review 😀😁😂
Berg is Swedish surname, right?
waaa.. you have a really different voice when you talk japanese
Heh, cute.
