I actually thought of excluding tourists, but then I realised that a large percentage of non-Asian people you see in Japan are tourists. Also Shibuya is a very popular place amongst local people and tourists alike, so I think what you see in this video is a fairly accurate representation of non-East Asian people in Japan. Edit: I checked the statistics and it turned out there are more non-Asian non-tourists than non-Asian tourists in Japan in a given moment. It's just non-Asian people we SEE in Tokyo are more likely to be tourists probably because tourists go out more than locals. Edit2: But if you want to learn Japanese so that when I randomly approach you, you show off your perfect Japanese skill, I can send you some free Japanese lesson. So subscribe here bit.ly/2LijEJr
+That Japanese Man Yuta Shibuya is FULL of tourists! I don't think this poll really showed much of anything. I'd be more interested in the results if you had a follow-up question of "Do you live in Japan?" because most of those people probably would have said no, so naturally they wouldn't speak any Japanese, or even need to. I like a lot of your videos, but after seeing this I could only think "残念！"
+That Japanese Man Yuta I don't know if it's a mistake, but why are Pakistani and the other south Asian guy counted as "Western-looking" people? They don't look Western to me anyway, more South Asian. But that was an interesting video!

@@comradecameron3726 Bingo. Your brain figures out grammar naturally. I teach English in a country where the ENTIRE FOCUS is on learning grammar rules. Their grammar sucks!!!! I constantly tell them to improve their grammar by not attending anymore grammar classes. Find books or TV shows you can almost completely understand and keep getting plenty of input. If you can understand it, you will improve quickly. They all ignore me. In Asian countries you are taught that THIS. IS. THE. WAY. I really wonder what they think in their minds... "Ok, my English sucks. I've spent years and years and lots of money and it still sucks. Well, maybe if I spend more money and learn from a native speaker I'll improve?" So they then come to me and I say "hi, if you'd like to improve, try A, B and C!" and their brain says "BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT HAS ALREADY FAILED ME FOR A DECADE!! WHO IS THIS FOREIGNER TO TELL ME HOW TO LEARN HIS LANGUAGE?!?!?" Years and years later? They haven't improved at all. It seems like the real thinking is "I have paid money and entered this room. Why should I have to do any work? I PAID MONEY NOW MAKE ME SPEAK ENGLISH!! By the way, I don't want to SPEAK English, I prefer to sit here silently."

Today I speak 3 languages fluently, but those 3 could've been 5 if it wasn't for that mistake I didn't realize earlier. (Or 8, if I pushed further with French, Hungarian and Japanese, whose basics I handle, but require tons of training.)

Not a really good advice considering grammar is commonly subjected to context (especially in Japan). And particularly bad advice considering learning a new language usually means learning a new grammar system wich exists independently and completely disconected from other grammar systems you may be familiar with such as the one from your mother language and I own the authority to say this as it is since english is my second language and I barely know any grammatical rules about english yet I can read and write it almost flawlessly (speaking not so good but that's besides the point). And let me tell you, portuguese grammar (my mother language) is significantly harder than english and has much more bullshit going on with its grammar (example: each noun has a gender, wich roughly means that if it exists, it must be either male or female and because of this, there are different verb conjugations, particles and sometimes rules applied, this makes no sense at all yet it's a fundamental aspect of my mother language that gets completely dropped off once I became fluent in english, and this is not all: portuguese has a long list of rules and some usually come with a shit ton of exceptions, usually making the rules meaningless, the only thing I think is bullshit about english is spelling and too many words or expressions with multiple meanings, english is too short sometimes but generally speaking it's a much better language for me to express myself and the grammar is far superior than the grammar of my mother language ). Grammar can very easily become a waste of time on the scheme of language learning, I only reccomend learning grammar you'll hear it or see it being used more than once a lifetime or if it becomes too complicated, ignore it and just learn the rest through repetition and practical usage. That's just my opinion. Peace.

Luckily, my native language is Turkish and its relatively easier to learn Japanese thanks to similarities on grammar. Im new to Japanese and currently learning hiragana. its quite fun.
I don't understand why, but I truly get excited and happy when I see a foreigner speak, japaneese. Like they took the effort to learn a language. That's awesome. I hope that I can develop my Japanese to a fluent level to not be a burden on the people in Japan.
I know this comment is two years old but the most useful phrase to learn is "could you heat that up for me" for when you're buying bentos at the konbinis.
It's interesting there's a lot of foreigners just chilling in Japan who apparently can't understand a lick of Japanese, yet it's actually quite easy enough to hang out in Japan like that.
Everyone should learn at least a bit of a country's language when traveling abroad. Stuff like "Excuse me" "Hello" "I would like to have a [insert food item]" I remember reading a german textbook and learning the sentence: "Ich hätte gerne ein Groß Bier, bitte" and joking to my friends that knowing that made me fluent in german.

@@yoketah I agree that they add things to their eggs to make them delicious, but I'm saying even their plain eggs are a better quality than where I'm from
The chickens that lay eggs in Japan are treated and fed completely differently than other countries. Therefore the eggs have lots more nutrients which you notice in the yolk which is quite orange compared to yellow in the US for example. All of this also allows the eggs to be eaten raw for about two weeks after purchase. Japanese eggs taste way better and are a lot more filling as well. I've lived in Tokyo for over a year btw. Originally from Houston, Texas.
I'm actually surprised how many people can't say a single phrase in Japanese. If I were to go to a country of which I did not speak the native language, and I wouldn't be with anyone who did, then I'd learn at least a few basic phrases like "I'm sorry, I don't speak {language}".
I visit Japan on occasion (because I have to, I'd avoid it if I could, terrible country to visit) and I don't bother with the Japanese language at all. The number of Japanese who can speak English is great enough for me to not have to learn their native language, and since I don't care about their culture, food, or society and am only in Japan for reasons of obligation, not speaking Japanese doesn't affect me at all.
You know it's going to be a good video when the first person interviewed is the biggest, blackest man they could find just walking about Japan normally and he answers in fluent Japanese. I love videos like these.
"She said she doesn't speak Japanese in Japanese". Ha! Had a similar incident once where a lady asked me "parlez-vous français?" and I was able to answer with "non". :D
this makes me feel better in the sense that many people visit who don't necessarily speak Japanese. that said, i would love to still learn conversational japanese! i enjoy conversing with others, and would be sad if i could not properly convey my intentions or thoughts. cool video!
@@kharift Same for us Finns. Languages like italian, spanish, portuguese, japanese, many African languages etc. are rather easy to learn for us to speak. Vowels and most consonants are pronounced very similar in spanish/italian/japanese than they are in finnish.
While some see this as "nationalist" or discriminatory, I found this to be quite enlightening and entertaining! You never disappoint with your videos, Yuta
I was really surprised by how people were being really nice. It was fun to ask random people if they know Japanese. One guy said, "no, I don't know Japanese," in Japanese, and walked off. That was funny. I think if people asked me the same question, I would say "はい、ちょっと" (yes, a little). thanks Yuta for doing a collaboration video with me to help my channel grow
I subscribed to you Jack. Good luck on TH-cam! It is a bit easier to do YT videos in Tokyo than Where I am in Niigata. I look forward to seeing what you can create! Cheers! P.s. Do more vids with Yuta. ｖ（＾＿＾ｖ）♪

I've been researching into teaching yourself to talk Japanese easily and discovered a fantastic resource at Fergs Magic Blueprint (check it out on google)
NGorso1 Dont feel bad, Im terrible in my mother tongue too, but that's because I have to use english a lot more. Its all practice and how much you have to use it
NGorso1 yes. In Japan even if you are born in Japan but your grandfather or grandmother, mom or dad or even great grandparents were not born in Japan you are considered a foreigner. Idk but it's Japanese law. Very weird but Asia has many laws that do not make sense.
I remember when a Japanese exchange student asked me something in Japanese, so I replied "I don't understand Japanese" in Japanese. I must have said it well because she smiled and asked me more questions. But that phrase was all I knew.
5:47 I was so surprised to hear that she’s Georgian. I’m Georgian myself immersed in foreign media, but I rarely ever see Georgians appear neither in the content, nor its comments.
Thank you for teaching the boy about appearances. He's young, so he didn't know, but many adults never learn and can hurt the feelings of Americans who don't look white or have big eyes and blonde hair. When I lived in South Korea, I was told by a man that I didn't look American, but I'm in fact Native American! I'm very petite and have brown hair because my mom is Spaniard and my father is Native American. Either way, I was deeply hurt then, but hearing the father educate his son on appearances really touched my heart and restored my faith that there are people who aren't ignorant about the diversity of Americans. Thank you~🙏🏻
I don't really think it needs to be something to be deeply hurt by. The ignorance of others shouldn't be taken as an insult at every opportunity. No point dwelling on something a person said about you, since it means very little other than the fact that that person is prone to prejudice.
not only are not all American's white, but not all white people are Americans, so the kid was definitely making an awkward generalization. Good thing he's being taught :)

I don't think it's that hard to learn 2-3-4 different languages, especially if you live in a major Europian country like Italy. I live in Yakutia (which is a part of Russia) and speak Russian (my first language), Yakutian (my native language), English (not perfect, but still able to express myself fully and give reliable info in CS:GO) and a little bit of Evenki (a lot of Evenks live in Yakutia).
well yeah, if your raised in malaysia you'll prob know how to speak few languages . like chinese , english and bahasa melayu , and some non langauge language like hokkian and cantonese . those r the languages that i can speak and im currently learning japanese by myself LOL. its freaking hard.
akariisfat good luck! A lot of people who had parents that move a lot for jobs tend to know different languages like me. I speak Korean, Mandarin, Japanese, English obviously, and Tagalog. I had to move around a bit but I’m Japanese and Filipino. I learned Mandarin for my major and learned Korean from being in South Korea for a few years.
yoloswag when you live in a country where English is not the main language is more likely that you know at least two languages (your mother tongue and English). I’m Italian as well and we learn English at school; he probably learned Japanese at university or at home by himself. It’s not that difficult to find people that talks two or three languages.

I'm Chinese and I speak some Japanese, but not fluent. When I visit Japan, I always have to speak English first to show that I'm a foreigner when I need to ask a question. Otherwise they assume I'm Japanese and reply with fast difficult sentences that I can't catch 😂
Same! I'm Filipino and when I was in Japan, people often mistaken me as Japanese because of my eyes (my eyes aren't that big unlike most Filipinos). I had to tell them "I don't speak" and they will apologize.

I feel egg guy in my soul. Eggs totally taste better in Japan.
@@yoketah I agree that they add things to their eggs to make them delicious, but I'm saying even their plain eggs are a better quality than where I'm from
Even if I've never been to Japan I agree
We eat our eggs raw here in Kyoto.
@@kyotoben9623 Yeeee, the eggs are way safer ♡
The chickens that lay eggs in Japan are treated and fed completely differently than other countries. Therefore the eggs have lots more nutrients which you notice in the yolk which is quite orange compared to yellow in the US for example. All of this also allows the eggs to be eaten raw for about two weeks after purchase. Japanese eggs taste way better and are a lot more filling as well. I've lived in Tokyo for over a year btw. Originally from Houston, Texas.
I'm actually surprised how many people can't say a single phrase in Japanese. If I were to go to a country of which I did not speak the native language, and I wouldn't be with anyone who did, then I'd learn at least a few basic phrases like "I'm sorry, I don't speak {language}".
It happens everywhere, you could do the same to asians in Paris.
They joked about people who said that though
Right!
I visit Japan on occasion (because I have to, I'd avoid it if I could, terrible country to visit) and I don't bother with the Japanese language at all. The number of Japanese who can speak English is great enough for me to not have to learn their native language, and since I don't care about their culture, food, or society and am only in Japan for reasons of obligation, not speaking Japanese doesn't affect me at all.

Thank you for teaching the boy about appearances. He's young, so he didn't know, but many adults never learn and can hurt the feelings of Americans who don't look white or have big eyes and blonde hair. When I lived in South Korea, I was told by a man that I didn't look American, but I'm in fact Native American! I'm very petite and have brown hair because my mom is Spaniard and my father is Native American. Either way, I was deeply hurt then, but hearing the father educate his son on appearances really touched my heart and restored my faith that there are people who aren't ignorant about the diversity of Americans. Thank you~🙏🏻
I don't really think it needs to be something to be deeply hurt by. The ignorance of others shouldn't be taken as an insult at every opportunity. No point dwelling on something a person said about you, since it means very little other than the fact that that person is prone to prejudice.
