No need to worry about my username Yes!

@@nomorepancake88 Actually, i think it doesnt sound weird at all, probably makes more sense than "send a lot of love..". Having said that, simultaneous interpretation always amazes me, must be really hard to do that

The interpreter has excellent skill and Steven was the best american host to Marie I've seen, I saw the Ellen segment and it was awfully mean they just were just loud and poking fun at someone enjoying being neat the whole time

Yes! She's very professional, yet charming at what she does.

Bano Banoo I think you may have misunderstood that joke. He’s not saying she’s part of a cult or that her methods are cult like, he’s remarking on her charm and sweetness and saying that because she is so sweet, he’d follow anything she says, even if that’s going into a cult. It’s like saying I think my grandma is sweet and adorable and I trust anything she tells me to do, even if it’s going into an abandoned warehouse at midnight because I don’t feel that my grandma can lead me anywhere dangerous.

Yes, asians have really nice skin. Thanks to diet and the fact they care WAY more about their skin than most people in the US do. They start using sunblock at a very early age and use it constantly.
@Nicholas Cossins (TKY 3007712) I'd disagree in your saying that "it wasn't that hard to translate," as interpretation is quite difficult (Iida Marie herself discusses that in interviews she's done)! As for what she actually did say in Japanese, 近藤麻理恵 said 「そうですね、皆さん、こう、もちろん片付けに悩んでいらっしゃるっていうこともそうだと思うんですけれども、同時にその心の中のモヤモヤ、こういったことも同時に悩んでいらっしゃることも多いと思うんですよ。」 -- The operative word we're discussing here being モヤモヤ. I would say that even a native speaker would be tempted to interpret 「心の中のモヤモヤ」 as an "uneasiness," "pent-up feelings," "inner distress," "haziness," etc., etc., as モヤモヤ is often translated. However, as we know, in the context of Stephen's question, and how often in the Netflix series it is made clear how the cleaning of the home also helps one "tidy" issues inside of them, I would say that, on the fly, on national television, it was an expertly made, highly nuanced interpretation, to say "clutter in our hearts."
Steve Harvey and Ellen need to take note of how to work with guests and interpreters together. You talked to and addressed only the guest and not the interpreter, and the interpreter did the same. You spoke naturally. You looked at her and not past her at the interpreter, and she looked at you during the conversation even while listening to the interpretation. This was such a wonderful and subtle nod to cultural and language awareness. As an interpreter myself, this was SO wonderful to see! Thank you!
That's just her TV personality... her personality is her brand/image... if she doesn't keep it up, especially in public, people lose interest... I'm sure it probably has rubbed on to her actual personality to some extent but don't believe she's like that all the time in her life... I bet she has sworn and yelled at her husband at some point.... don't believe the media stereotype that all Asian women are submissive. That's just what Japan wants you to think because they sexualize their women like that, and Americans buy into that idea.
sidenote: Stephen really handled the audience laughing at the situation very well, and he seemed really interested in what she had to say, also he never made jokes that sort of questioned her methods or her beliefs, it was a great interview!
True, really great and still very funny to watch! This was the first time i actually got what Marie's angle is. Even though im not really interested in her show, Stephen made it super fun to watch and gave her a very good and simple way to show what she is about.
Nicky Moloney did he make any explicit reference besides the odd cult reference? I wouldn’t heavily tie that to any racist reference to a historical Japanese cult.
Don't spin my words. My two sentences were each in answer to your two sentences. If you cannot understand or read my English then think what you want to think. Don't bother to respond unless you are the type of person who likes the last word. I certainly won't be responding to you again. Cheerio. @Shaft Canyoudigit
As someone who studies oral translation I have major respect for the interpreter. Even if she was given a script and had time to prepare the job she did is something else. I admire her.
@@wtfstudioinc.1827 Yeah, right, imagination. I could not understand why people like you can find anything (even the brightest, purest thing) that can relate to sexuality. And that is just so offensive.
@@wtfstudioinc.1827 Nah, "human nature" sounds general. Let's just say "it depends on each human." Not every man can find anything that can relate to sexuality. This is just a personal thought of each mind.
A lot of people don't understand the cultural context of her methods as well, Shinto is a big aspect, thanking and respecting your space and objects. Stephen was funny yet respectful
Even without knowledge of shinto people can understand what she means if they *want*. Saying a grace before the meal and thanking god for the food is a similar rite in christanity for being aware what you have and that you should be grateful for the most essential things. I could write more examples. To kneel down is a bit a bit strange for westerners but considering she is japanese it is clear where it it coming from.
@@kidaria1333 The religious roots make it easier for people to respect it but I agree, it's rude to mock someone's methods just because you don't understand them. Americans are big consumers compared to Japanese people and it might be more difficult for them to consider even thanking things for being there, serving a purpose. Regardless of the religious belief, every thing that has been made is impregnated with meaning. It doesn't matter if you believe your house had a spirit, it still is good to be grateful of what it brings to you.
@@kidaria1333 The Japanese have a very specific way of giving thanks before and after each meal. They're not necessarily thanking God, but thanking all involved in creating the food before them.
i really appreciate that Stephen didn't mock Marie for being different like some other hosts did, also appreciate that he didn't laugh at her even though the audience did when Marie folded the cloth thingy. thanks for being respectful!
I've seen westerners make fun of her ways but they don't realize that she's a shrine maiden and has studied spiritual philosophy so this lady is legit an angel or young deity here to clean our hearts from the clutter
I think the banter is good hearted, and from what I’ve seen people don’t really make fun of her per se, but make fun of the situations she finds herself in
He will actually! South korean girlgroup, Blackpink is going to be there at his show. Although the girls can speak english perfectly, I do hope they could use their korean language a bit.
Love Marie Kondo and her trooper interpreter Marie Iida. Stephen did a respectful interview, speaking slowly and clearly. You could tell Kondo could understand some of it before translation which helps.
Marie lives in the US and has for a number of years. I expect she is either just not confident enough in her English for a national audience, or using an interpreter helps with her mystique to sell the idea of decluttering as exotic
@@Skittl1321 ; I don't think it's the "mystique" bit because even if she became conversant in English, she would still speak it with a Japanese accent which would her stand out. She's probably just not proficient enough in English to speak to a national audience, and she doesn't want to use "broken" English because Americans, in particular, seem put off by that----unless, for instance, it's a French speaker. THEN, they think it's "charming".
Show hosts, let Stephen be your example! Ellen and Kimmel were so disrespectful of Konmari and her methods and claiming they were trying to be funny. You can be respectful, open-minded, and funny at the same time you know!
Cyndi Angulo Ellen is so rude and fake as a host. She is never really “listening” to her guests and it’s sooo transparent. I don’t know why can’t people see that.
Yeah I feel like each culture has their own style of humor but we can all relate in being respectful towards one another and really hearing what each other says.
This is the first time I have seen Marie Kondo. There is really something special about her. She just radiates peace or a peacefulness. She seems so pure and precious. I adore her and I completely understand what Stephen was saying about following her anywhere or to her cult, because I would be following right behind him. It is really surreal, I suffer from really bad depression, but I feel like if I was to spend some time with her, I would be able to find my happiness again. I don’t know if anyone else feels the way I do, but I feel like if she did retreats or something like that, she would make a fortune! She had an amazing affect on Stephen too, he appeared to be in awe of her, just like I am.
Same here, I also suffer from horrible depression and anxiety, but just looking and listening to her gives me this strange state of peace. She oozes such a beautiful energy
I agree marcelle and Marìa. There is just something so powerful and positive about her presence - and that is on video. I imagine it would be much greater in person. I've never sensed anything like this from a person. It's like a really bizarre phenomenon or something! 😊
I think that the concept that she bases her tidying up on is also very applicable to life: let go of the stuff that's weighing you down and that doesn't make you feel good, thank it for what it has done for you (like when bad experiences make you stronger) and keep what brings joy. Keep only what you really need and treat it with care, love and kindness. When I decluttered my home with her method it also felt like a life lesson. Big hugs from Chile!
I definitely recommend reading her books or listening to them on audible! I died and it really did change how I lived and how I even feel about myself ♡
As much as I love Stephen, he is generous unless you have differing political views (Scaramucci interview, fox news anchors interviews). I'm a liberal Dem, but those interviews make me cringe
After hearing about the show on Netflix about 10 times in a day, had to check it out. A really great method for being happier and not just about decluttering or minimalism. Actually can be used as a really great way to save and be happier with your money as well. A lot of the things we buy don't really make us happy so using those KonMari rules to declutter expenses really works.
Exactly! And think of the literal debt we carry and worry over, constantly piling up so much junk. Unable to do other things because we are serving that debt.
even the jokes he made just werent translated correctly. when he was like i would follow you even to a cult it was just translated to "ill follow you anywhere" so yeah...
@@MoJohnnys Because he made a joke that he would follow her soothing persona into a cult, right? It doesn't come across as disrespectful to me, it's a callback to an earlier (non-racial or derogatory) joke.
This interview was so positive, Steven being respectful Marie being a literal sunshine making you feel like she's speaking to your soul itself That fire translator, I've never seen someone translate this fast nor this good in my life
This is sweet I feel bad for Marie because a lot of people/hosts sort of mock her because she doesn't speak English very well so they equaite it to her brains but you don't need to speak a language to be smart
i dunno her smile doesnt seem genuine. shes doing it to be polite. she smiles even when the translator hasnt got to the translation yet. Still seems like an amazing person tho. way better than me
@@ketsukusa I guess she does know some basic English so she gets the gist of what Stephen is saying, it's just not good enough to do a full interview in English.
Eric Rossiter she does know some English, and is actually living in LA now. Anyways that’s just her face/demeanor even when interacting in purely Japanese. She’s a truly sweet person
@@ketsukusa hmm... don't know about that. She seems most genuine to me. She is clearly on a mission... to remove physical AND so mental clutter from our lives. What a sacred mission. She truly 'Sparks Joy' : )
She really is a treasure, she's gentle, graceful, poised, classy, sensitive, spiritual and radiates such a pure, peaceful, and childlike essence; one many of us suffocate on the daily. She is really a breath of fresh air.
As an interpreter, props for Stephen for slowing down his talking speed for the interpreter. It's a disaster when the speaker talks like a madman unaware that's a person trying to listen, translate and speak simultaneously.
I think he also did it in a way that didn't come off as treating the interpreter or Marie like they were stupid or slow--he was simply giving time without speeding along. I appreciated it :) Overall, great method.
@Osw719 There's actually two things going on here: 1) The interpreter kind of already knows what Marie Kondo will say. They've been working together a while now, and these interviews can be quite repetitive. 2) Speed does not equate "literal" translation. Sure, she's quick, but it doesn't mean she's saying exactly what Marie is saying. As an interpreter, she has learned to adapt and mold the person's speech. There's really no other way of doing this job. So for her to translate Marie Kondo is much easier than translating Stephen! :)
Whatever you do, don't disrespect Japan and Japanese people. Respect is in their culture. They show it even in their smiles. Ellen and Kimmel were trying too hard to be funny but came across as disrespectful while Colbert is just all grace and he genuinely respects Marie and her philosophy.
so BonBon: Same re every culture and their people. And, btw, the palms together thing---which I love---, I noticed when I watched the "Thai cave rescue" that the Thai do that also. Is that common in most Asian countries? I'm American, and I don't understand why that has touched me so much (ever since I saw the Thai all doing it), but I just really love it.
@@arx754 yes, it's a common hand gesture, from East to South and Southeast Asia. Usually used for prayers, but also greetings in some cultures. The palms placed in front of the heart, centres ones energy around the heart and reflects the prayer or greeting coming from the heart.
I'm Japanese and I have to say that we don't usually do the gesture when we greet. We do it right before and after eating to show the gratitude towards food. We sometimes do it when saying please or sorry too. Western people often do it when saying Konnichiwa but it is not accurate. Marie did it in this show only because we Japanese think that it's disrespectful to point out other people's mistakes. We'd rather choose to do the gesture as well to avoid embarrassing the person.
To be specific, I think, only Indian, Thai, Cambodian, (maybe Laos), and certain parts of Indonesia do this for greetings. East Asians, especially Korean and Japanese tends to just bow... In Southeast Asia, bowing with the palms together at the forehead is usually for royalty or someone highly respected, like a guru or high priest...
That first uncomfortable laughter when she started speaking Japanese shows how unused many Americans are to hearing non-English speaking people being translated live. I'm a translator and an interpreter and I have encountered it before. It doesn't offend me because it's not meant maliciously, but the ingrained idea that foreigners are supposed to speak English never ceases to baffle me.
Oh, and I had initially assumed their laughter came from the juxtaposition of this charming lady and her kinda warp speed way of speaking. That baffled me a sec- and I've been to Japan before.
@@MrKErocks Maybe in the western world, but not necessarily elsewhere, and it's typical for us westerners to assume that we're the center of the world. Not everybody learns English at school (or was able to go to school!). It's arrogant to assume everyone is going to speak English and ridicule them if they don't when many people who speak English as their first language don't even speak a second language.
Honestly I almost chuckled too because I didn't expect her to speak so fast for so long, especially given how Stephen was speaking slowly to her to make it easier for the translator.
Stephen, what a class act, compared to Jimmy Kimmel and Ellen, he was fascinated and so respectful! Didn't make fun of her, rather allowed her to shine, love this whole interaction! (Don't get me wrong, I love Jimmy & Ellen, was just disappointed at their comedy which seemed to come at her expense, this interview was on a whole other level)
I wouldn't expect anything less from Stephen, I think he's a gentleman, really .. with all of the on TV act put aside .. respect NEVER hurts a show, if a host needs to crack a joke at the expense of their guest, it's not really a joke ..
Just came here to say I appreciate that he said the translator was because he doesn’t speak Japanese and not because she doesn’t speak English. Great attitude!
I've heard about her show a few times since Netflix basically puts it everywhere, but I hadn't seen her or known about how she is until now. Absolutely wonderful. If this is how she is on a day-to-day basis, I might actually watch her show, and I've never had interest in house related shows before!
You can't help but feel good and warm watching her. And for some reason she got through to me, a lifelong slob. I highly recommend the show. Pick an episode that relates to you the most.
Her translator is amazing. I want to give her a moment of recognition. It's not easy translating in real-time like that even when you're completely fluent in the languages.
Yeah, that interpreter is phenomenal. I'm a translator (written only) and that's hard enough. Interpreting on the fly like that is like juggling: you have to listen and translate in your head at the same time and then speak, and you only get one shot. She was taking notes obviously, but that's likely just jotting down key words. But listen to how effortlessly she spoke in English after doing all of that. The upshot is that very good interpreters like her make a TON of money.
I know, that bit pissed me off. I'd like to think they were only laughing at how fast Japanese sounds compared to English. But still, dick move. If I was there and someone next to me laughed, I would turn to them and say, 'Dude, what's your problem?"
Nah I like the dark Stephen so much more. When he mocks and makes fun of you and you need to think for 2 seconds before you know he did. Thats the real Stephen
@Oswald Mosley not really, he's still very respectful all throughout this bit. he's complimenting her on her overwhelming positive attitude and he keeps it at that. And he's not laying it on, he's purposefully exaggerating and presenting those compliments jokingly, so there'sno weird tension afterwards. Not a lot of people are this well versed and i think stephen does sometimes create some awkward situations unknowingly depending on the guest, but definitely not here.
The crowd were unbelievably rude by laughing at her and her philosophy. If they were more open-minded and respectful, they'd be able to appreciate her methods and see their worth. She is a fantastic person and what She says should be given respect
@@KW-eg6yq i think compound joke is about the fact that her charisma and way of life is very cult like and she could easily be a cult leader in some gated community or a compound that you are not allowed to leave once you enter. Not really funny, more like scary and insulting because she really is charismatic enough but in a way it implies that she wants cult leadership position, which in her most humble behaviour seems very inappropriate to assume imho.
buttercreamsunshine probably because a genuinely sweet and kind person having something valuable to offer doesn’t fit into his cynical worldview unfortunately there are a lot of people who think like that these days.

@@yayogreen341 ainu is part of asia though... or at least pacific islander (ainu's orig. descent could be islander or hawaiian) but ya know islanders and asians have a mixed blooded history, somewhat
Her double tap to the carpet when they both get up from kneeling is making my heart soar! Thank you Stephen for allowing the space for this sunshine to come through! She's so infectious with happiness!
Interactions like this one always remind me why I love the art of interpretation so much. Helping people communicate as efficiently and naturally as possible is one of the best feelings I've ever experienced...and Marie's interpreter is just a perfect example of that.
We were at this taping and a funny anecdote.... As Marie was exiting, Stephen took a KITTEN from under his desk! It quickly tried to escape, clawing up his jacket, then the kitten wrangler came out from under the desk to take it away! SO funny! I am guessing it was going to be one of the things that brought joy, but he decided not to use it.
Basically she uses the gratitude, love and joy energy before tidying up and creating that book, that makes tidying up easier, heart become less cluttering and joyful and she becomes successful. Her energy is so good. I love how she smiles all the time and have such great attitude throughout the interview. Wow such a lovely and inspiring lady.

Jessica Recore what language do you interpret?
I work in Spanish and English
Jessica Recore so cool!!
Stephen is no respectful to this lovely Japanese lady. What a show
That is how It is supposed to be.
Same when deaf people uses interprets, they ask you to address the conversation to the person not the interpret.
That was the most fluid and transparent real-time translation to and from another language that I have ever seen. BRAVO to the translator!
She is absolutely outstanding on the show as well!
I was JUST thinking that. She's a boss.
Yes!!!
Marie Iida is Amazing, she has an instagram account under the same name and she's also a talented writer
@@kimmirandaart9909 what's her acc?
3:43 shes so polite she even gives the floor alittle pat. so cute !
Right?? 😄😍
That's just her TV personality... her personality is her brand/image... if she doesn't keep it up, especially in public, people lose interest... I'm sure it probably has rubbed on to her actual personality to some extent but don't believe she's like that all the time in her life... I bet she has sworn and yelled at her husband at some point.... don't believe the media stereotype that all Asian women are submissive. That's just what Japan wants you to think because they sexualize their women like that, and Americans buy into that idea.

"submissive"
You mean to tell me Marie wouldn't go "you no longer spark joy" and yeet her man out the window were it come to conflict
sidenote: Stephen really handled the audience laughing at the situation very well, and he seemed really interested in what she had to say, also he never made jokes that sort of questioned her methods or her beliefs, it was a great interview!
True, really great and still very funny to watch! This was the first time i actually got what Marie's angle is. Even though im not really interested in her show, Stephen made it super fun to watch and gave her a very good and simple way to show what she is about.
Ellen and Jimmy really did Marie so wrong. I'm really glad someone was able understand what respect is.
@@johnnguyen3899 Compound - Aum Shinrikyo cult joke. - except for this.
Aum Shinrikyo cult - "compound joke". Not funny. Otherwise, a great interview.
Nicky Moloney did he make any explicit reference besides the odd cult reference? I wouldn’t heavily tie that to any racist reference to a historical Japanese cult.
It's called respect, and Stephen has it in spades. This lady, and her interpreter, were a joy to watch.
Aum Shinrikyo cult - "compound" joke.
only for people who share his ideology. no respect for people who disliked the last jedi
I was honestly unaware of any previous comments made about Asian people. My understanding of respect is certainly not strange. @Shaft Canyoudigit
Don't spin my words. My two sentences were each in answer to your two sentences. If you cannot understand or read my English then think what you want to think. Don't bother to respond unless you are the type of person who likes the last word. I certainly won't be responding to you again. Cheerio. @Shaft Canyoudigit
Ian Brooke I agree
As someone who studies oral translation I have major respect for the interpreter. Even if she was given a script and had time to prepare the job she did is something else. I admire her.
Her body gestures resemble like a Disney princess
@@wtfstudioinc.1827 Dude! That sounds horribly wrong.
Anna Timpton what is wrong with that? Its just an imagination.
@@wtfstudioinc.1827 Yeah, right, imagination. I could not understand why people like you can find anything (even the brightest, purest thing) that can relate to sexuality. And that is just so offensive.
Anna Timpton human nature I guess..
@@wtfstudioinc.1827 Nah, "human nature" sounds general. Let's just say "it depends on each human." Not every man can find anything that can relate to sexuality. This is just a personal thought of each mind.
A lot of people don't understand the cultural context of her methods as well, Shinto is a big aspect, thanking and respecting your space and objects. Stephen was funny yet respectful
Kondo used to serve in a Shinto Shrine as a teen, it definitely influenced the animism in her methods.
timusforlife Cook
Even without knowledge of shinto people can understand what she means if they *want*.
Saying a grace before the meal and thanking god for the food is a similar rite in christanity for being aware what you have and that you should be grateful for the most essential things. I could write more examples. To kneel down is a bit a bit strange for westerners but considering she is japanese it is clear where it it coming from.
@@kidaria1333 The religious roots make it easier for people to respect it but I agree, it's rude to mock someone's methods just because you don't understand them. Americans are big consumers compared to Japanese people and it might be more difficult for them to consider even thanking things for being there, serving a purpose.
Regardless of the religious belief, every thing that has been made is impregnated with meaning. It doesn't matter if you believe your house had a spirit, it still is good to be grateful of what it brings to you.
@@kidaria1333 The Japanese have a very specific way of giving thanks before and after each meal. They're not necessarily thanking God, but thanking all involved in creating the food before them.
i really appreciate that Stephen didn't mock Marie for being different like some other hosts did, also appreciate that he didn't laugh at her even though the audience did when Marie folded the cloth thingy. thanks for being respectful!
I've seen westerners make fun of her ways but they don't realize that she's a shrine maiden and has studied spiritual philosophy so this lady is legit an angel or young deity here to clean our hearts from the clutter
I think the banter is good hearted, and from what I’ve seen people don’t really make fun of her per se, but make fun of the situations she finds herself in
What is a shrine maiden?
Fareen Mohamed the Japanese version of an altar boy (sort of) I think she was a Shrine Maiden for 5 years

Stephen should have more foreign guests, he's very sweet and kind in his approach.
Yeah apart from Craig Furgeson he is the best to emphatize with his guests and prioritis the conversation over being overly funy.
He will actually! South korean girlgroup, Blackpink is going to be there at his show. Although the girls can speak english perfectly, I do hope they could use their korean language a bit.

@@Svgroc I have heard such good things about them. Can't wait!
"We all have clutter in our hearts, and that needs tidying!!" - very profound!
Love Marie Kondo and her trooper interpreter Marie Iida. Stephen did a respectful interview, speaking slowly and clearly. You could tell Kondo could understand some of it before translation which helps.
_ _ you get bonus points for referring to her interpreter correctly (not as a translator, which applies to written communication only)
🤩🤩🤩
Marie lives in the US and has for a number of years. I expect she is either just not confident enough in her English for a national audience, or using an interpreter helps with her mystique to sell the idea of decluttering as exotic
@@Skittl1321 ; I don't think it's the "mystique" bit because even if she became conversant in English, she would still speak it with a Japanese accent which would her stand out. She's probably just not proficient enough in English to speak to a national audience, and she doesn't want to use "broken" English because Americans, in particular, seem put off by that----unless, for instance, it's a French speaker. THEN, they think it's "charming".

He kept it light and tried to bring some humor to the interview well remaining respectful for the most part. Good on him.
Show hosts, let Stephen be your example! Ellen and Kimmel were so disrespectful of Konmari and her methods and claiming they were trying to be funny. You can be respectful, open-minded, and funny at the same time you know!
Cyndi Angulo Ellen is so rude and fake as a host. She is never really “listening” to her guests and it’s sooo transparent. I don’t know why can’t people see that.
I'm agree Ellen is so rude and mean 😭😭
Yeah I feel like each culture has their own style of humor but we can all relate in being respectful towards one another and really hearing what each other says.
Hasan Minhaj’s collab with her is also worth a watch!
Ellen is becoming a bully .. :( ..
This is the first time I have seen Marie Kondo. There is really something special about her. She just radiates peace or a peacefulness. She seems so pure and precious. I adore her and I completely understand what Stephen was saying about following her anywhere or to her cult, because I would be following right behind him.
It is really surreal, I suffer from really bad depression, but I feel like if I was to spend some time with her, I would be able to find my happiness again.
I don’t know if anyone else feels the way I do, but I feel like if she did retreats or something like that, she would make a fortune!
She had an amazing affect on Stephen too, he appeared to be in awe of her, just like I am.
Same here, I also suffer from horrible depression and anxiety, but just looking and listening to her gives me this strange state of peace. She oozes such a beautiful energy
I think she sparks joy. Her presence is just so peaceful and happy.
I agree marcelle and Marìa. There is just something so powerful and positive about her presence - and that is on video. I imagine it would be much greater in person. I've never sensed anything like this from a person. It's like a really bizarre phenomenon or something! 😊
I think that the concept that she bases her tidying up on is also very applicable to life: let go of the stuff that's weighing you down and that doesn't make you feel good, thank it for what it has done for you (like when bad experiences make you stronger) and keep what brings joy. Keep only what you really need and treat it with care, love and kindness.
When I decluttered my home with her method it also felt like a life lesson.
Big hugs from Chile!
I definitely recommend reading her books or listening to them on audible! I died and it really did change how I lived and how I even feel about myself ♡
Wow she's 35 years old. I wish I could look like her when I turn 35.
I don't know how old you are, but she definitely looks 35
D D She looks late 20s by best.
What?? Dude I thought she was 45
That’s what Asians look like at 35
Asian genes are magical
He can relate to anyone. He has a generosity about him that enables him to do that.
HT200
Yes!!! What a guy!
As much as I love Stephen, he is generous unless you have differing political views (Scaramucci interview, fox news anchors interviews). I'm a liberal Dem, but those interviews make me cringe
Seeing Marie Kondo on your show sparked joy for me 😊
So now you must express thanks for Marie Kondo.
It also did for me.... very much so I cried from gratitude, honestly.
This lady is precious. I've never seen her show but I can understand why people love her.
After hearing about the show on Netflix about 10 times in a day, had to check it out. A really great method for being happier and not just about decluttering or minimalism. Actually can be used as a really great way to save and be happier with your money as well. A lot of the things we buy don't really make us happy so using those KonMari rules to declutter expenses really works.
Exactly! And think of the literal debt we carry and worry over, constantly piling up so much junk. Unable to do other things because we are serving that debt.
I am lazy, what is the name of the show? Im sure someone doesnt mind! UwU
@@HPWPAO It's called "Tidying up with Marie Kondo."
@@Tschitsu Thank you friend
Soooo on point! 👏👏
He was deliberately toning down the satirical wit, it doesn't translate well and this lady is all sincerity.
She attended to the perfect talkshow for her. I love the mutual respect
Good observation.
It's hard to make jokes when you don't speak the same language, even with a translator
And notice how one of the few jokes he made was his affection for the bourbon, and that was primarily physical humor!
even the jokes he made just werent translated correctly. when he was like i would follow you even to a cult it was just translated to "ill follow you anywhere" so yeah...
I can guarantee you she is a reincarnation of a princess
Zark Markeberg she is a princess regardless
Yeah, she is quite like a japanese princess!
How about the reincarnation of an Empress? A King? A Queen? Moses? "Princess" comes off as patronizing.
Fairy princess :)
she _is_ a princess.

This interview was so positive, Steven being respectful
Marie being a literal sunshine making you feel like she's speaking to your soul itself
That fire translator, I've never seen someone translate this fast nor this good in my life
This is sweet I feel bad for Marie because a lot of people/hosts sort of mock her because she doesn't speak English very well so they equaite it to her brains but you don't need to speak a language to be smart
Conversely if they should try to speak Japanese(not an easy language) you can imagine how foolish they would be!
Ngaroimata Thompson thing is, she already speaks a language, she speaks japanesse
Who does that?
Stephen’s smile while he’s kneeling is so pure
In Japan, living space is limited so her method is not unusual. It also teaches self-discipline to clean, throw away unneeded things, etc.
@Justin Time So minimalism comes from Japan I think. Its typical figure is Fumio Sasaki.
Donate unneeded things pleasee 😁
Aww I love Marie Kondo...she’s so graceful and genuine. Stephen seemed like he was really humbled by her approach on life & tidying.
i dunno her smile doesnt seem genuine. shes doing it to be polite. she smiles even when the translator hasnt got to the translation yet. Still seems like an amazing person tho. way better than me
@@ketsukusa I guess she does know some basic English so she gets the gist of what Stephen is saying, it's just not good enough to do a full interview in English.
Eric Rossiter she does know some English, and is actually living in LA now. Anyways that’s just her face/demeanor even when interacting in purely Japanese. She’s a truly sweet person
@@ketsukusa hmm... don't know about that. She seems most genuine to me.
She is clearly on a mission... to remove physical AND so mental clutter from our lives.
What a sacred mission. She truly 'Sparks Joy' : )
@@NoClasp Agreed... she has really come a long way. Wish I could say the same for my Japanese! : (

hhhhhhh
I couldn't stop smiling, she's a treasure. ♥️🇯🇵
Weird, me too. She's such a dainty little creature.
She is so kawaii! She reminds me of Ayami Muto.
Same! 👍👌🙌
She really is a treasure, she's gentle, graceful, poised, classy, sensitive, spiritual and radiates such a pure, peaceful, and childlike essence; one many of us suffocate on the daily. She is really a breath of fresh air.
As an interpreter, props for Stephen for slowing down his talking speed for the interpreter. It's a disaster when the speaker talks like a madman unaware that's a person trying to listen, translate and speak simultaneously.
I think he also did it in a way that didn't come off as treating the interpreter or Marie like they were stupid or slow--he was simply giving time without speeding along. I appreciated it :) Overall, great method.
@Osw719 There's actually two things going on here:
1) The interpreter kind of already knows what Marie Kondo will say. They've been working together a while now, and these interviews can be quite repetitive.
2) Speed does not equate "literal" translation. Sure, she's quick, but it doesn't mean she's saying exactly what Marie is saying. As an interpreter, she has learned to adapt and mold the person's speech. There's really no other way of doing this job.
So for her to translate Marie Kondo is much easier than translating Stephen! :)
I completely agree with the sentiment in which he says even if she didnt have a translator I would follow her to a cult compound and never leave
Whatever you do, don't disrespect Japan and Japanese people. Respect is in their culture. They show it even in their smiles. Ellen and Kimmel were trying too hard to be funny but came across as disrespectful while Colbert is just all grace and he genuinely respects Marie and her philosophy.
so BonBon: Same re every culture and their people. And, btw, the palms together thing---which I love---, I noticed when I watched the "Thai cave rescue" that the Thai do that also. Is that common in most Asian countries?
I'm American, and I don't understand why that has touched me so much (ever since I saw the Thai all doing it), but I just really love it.
@@arx754 yes, it's a common hand gesture, from East to South and Southeast Asia. Usually used for prayers, but also greetings in some cultures.
The palms placed in front of the heart, centres ones energy around the heart and reflects the prayer or greeting coming from the heart.
Where is the respect for chinese and koreans stfu with your subjective opinion
I'm Japanese and I have to say that we don't usually do the gesture when we greet.
We do it right before and after eating to show the gratitude towards food.
We sometimes do it when saying please or sorry too.
Western people often do it when saying Konnichiwa but it is not accurate.
Marie did it in this show only because we Japanese think that it's disrespectful to point out other people's mistakes.
We'd rather choose to do the gesture as well to avoid embarrassing the person.
To be specific, I think, only Indian, Thai, Cambodian, (maybe Laos), and certain parts of Indonesia do this for greetings. East Asians, especially Korean and Japanese tends to just bow...
In Southeast Asia, bowing with the palms together at the forehead is usually for royalty or someone highly respected, like a guru or high priest...
I could listen to her speak Japanese all day. She has a calming voice too even if I can't understand a word she says!
I fully agree. She should start her own asmr channel
Japanese is a beautiful language because of the softness. They don’t have hard sounds (from what I remember of the class I failed in college).
she just radiates peace and calmness and shes so beautiful. shes like a goddess!!
That first uncomfortable laughter when she started speaking Japanese shows how unused many Americans are to hearing non-English speaking people being translated live. I'm a translator and an interpreter and I have encountered it before. It doesn't offend me because it's not meant maliciously, but the ingrained idea that foreigners are supposed to speak English never ceases to baffle me.
Oh, and I had initially assumed their laughter came from the juxtaposition of this charming lady and her kinda warp speed way of speaking. That baffled me a sec- and I've been to Japan before.
Do you not understand that English is the lingua franca?
@@MrKErocks Maybe in the western world, but not necessarily elsewhere, and it's typical for us westerners to assume that we're the center of the world. Not everybody learns English at school (or was able to go to school!). It's arrogant to assume everyone is going to speak English and ridicule them if they don't when many people who speak English as their first language don't even speak a second language.
Honestly I almost chuckled too because I didn't expect her to speak so fast for so long, especially given how Stephen was speaking slowly to her to make it easier for the translator.
Americans think the world revolves around America.
Stephen, what a class act, compared to Jimmy Kimmel and Ellen, he was fascinated and so respectful! Didn't make fun of her, rather allowed her to shine, love this whole interaction! (Don't get me wrong, I love Jimmy & Ellen, was just disappointed at their comedy which seemed to come at her expense, this interview was on a whole other level)
I wouldn't expect anything less from Stephen, I think he's a gentleman, really .. with all of the on TV act put aside .. respect NEVER hurts a show, if a host needs to crack a joke at the expense of their guest, it's not really a joke ..
Just came here to say I appreciate that he said the translator was because he doesn’t speak Japanese and not because she doesn’t speak English. Great attitude!
that was so sweet
Thank you Stephen for being so classy and full of respect to other culture. ❤️❤️❤️
I've heard about her show a few times since Netflix basically puts it everywhere, but I hadn't seen her or known about how she is until now. Absolutely wonderful. If this is how she is on a day-to-day basis, I might actually watch her show, and I've never had interest in house related shows before!
Luke Taylor She’s seriously the sweetest person! And her method is really gentle but effective. I highly recommend her show and books
You should definitely watch. She's the sweetest thing. And her methods are simple for anyone to follow.
She's like this on every episode. Totally delightful.
You can't help but feel good and warm watching her. And for some reason she got through to me, a lifelong slob. I highly recommend the show. Pick an episode that relates to you the most.
japanese culture is pretty much all like this, very polite and respectful, and of course they delight in helping others.

True dat
Totally agree!!!
That is a great way to put it.
Her translator is amazing. I want to give her a moment of recognition. It's not easy translating in real-time like that even when you're completely fluent in the languages.
I just realised that the job of interpreter seemed easy to me at first, until now.
Interpreting on the fly is incredibly difficult
Yeah, that interpreter is phenomenal. I'm a translator (written only) and that's hard enough. Interpreting on the fly like that is like juggling: you have to listen and translate in your head at the same time and then speak, and you only get one shot. She was taking notes obviously, but that's likely just jotting down key words. But listen to how effortlessly she spoke in English after doing all of that.
The upshot is that very good interpreters like her make a TON of money.
The best translators will start translating before you've even finished speaking a sentence, which is freaking amazing.
@@anonmouse6337 Not like they rehearse this before the show or anything, right? ;)
I think interpreters like this woman will never be recognized enough. They matter too.

Jake Elton The translator did a good job of powering through the laughter immediately
I know, that bit pissed me off. I'd like to think they were only laughing at how fast Japanese sounds compared to English. But still, dick move. If I was there and someone next to me laughed, I would turn to them and say, 'Dude, what's your problem?"
DarthCruciare87 well, English sounds fast to non English-speakers too. It just feels that way with languages we don’t understand

@@goldenphoenix00001 Literally anyone will get a crush on Marie Kondo.
Can't even pronounce her name right. What a charmer indeed.
@Oswald Mosley not really, he's still very respectful all throughout this bit. he's complimenting her on her overwhelming positive attitude and he keeps it at that. And he's not laying it on, he's purposefully exaggerating and presenting those compliments jokingly, so there'sno weird tension afterwards. Not a lot of people are this well versed and i think stephen does sometimes create some awkward situations unknowingly depending on the guest, but definitely not here.
it's so nice that Stephen spoke slowly in order for the interpreter to catch up. he's very considerate!!
God could her skin be any more glowy and beautiful?? Kondo-san needs a skincare show
omg i agree it is exactly like a shiny red apple
Kudos to her interpreter!!! She doesn’t get enough recognition. She is amazing!
She even speaks with the same flow and her expressivness
This woman is so adorable, smart, classy and polite! She represents the Japanese culture!
Japanese women are usually very feminine and present themselves in a non-manly fashion.
She's so cute and adorable ! Stephen was respectful too. I hate it when hosts are disrespectful to their guests in order to get some cheap laughs.
Great interview and segment. Better than Kimmel who was very condescending with her. This is very respectful from a Westerner late night show host.
Stephen has class. Kimmel is like a drunk frat boy 90% of the time.
Kimmel is at best only one step above fallon. In terms of quality late show entertainment they are bottom of the Barrel
Yes! Kimmel was such a troll. 🙄
Kimmel is condescending to pretty much everybody, that's just how he understands "humour" (and I also think that's just part of his character).
The only late night hosts I like are Conan and Stephen..and Trevor if you wanna count him
He’s way more respectful then a lot of people have been and I really appreciate that
He was the most respectful and accommodating late night host ever to have interviewed Marie Kondo!
The crowd were unbelievably rude by laughing at her and her philosophy. If they were more open-minded and respectful, they'd be able to appreciate her methods and see their worth. She is a fantastic person and what She says should be given respect
I think they were laughing at how fast she speaks out of shock. Goddamn Japanese has to be the fastest spoken language in the world.
She even speaks quickly by Japanese standards imo
It's called ignorance. I agree they should've payed respect.
It's a comedy bit that's why they're laughing
You are asking braindead ameritards to respect her? They dont even respect their god damn selves.

She is so charismatic. Who else wants to walk to the compound!?

What does compound mean? A joke?
@@KW-eg6yq i think compound joke is about the fact that her charisma and way of life is very cult like and she could easily be a cult leader in some gated community or a compound that you are not allowed to leave once you enter. Not really funny, more like scary and insulting because she really is charismatic enough but in a way it implies that she wants cult leadership position, which in her most humble behaviour seems very inappropriate to assume imho.

I think her treating everything made with respect and appreciation allows people to see their space and things with new eyes.
Finally someone talking to her instead of making her clean stuff and insulting her ways.
We were at this taping and a funny anecdote.... As Marie was exiting, Stephen took a KITTEN from under his desk! It quickly tried to escape, clawing up his jacket, then the kitten wrangler came out from under the desk to take it away! SO funny! I am guessing it was going to be one of the things that brought joy, but he decided not to use it.
Paul Dake damn why didn’t they leave it in
I think there's a stair case under the desk.

Basically she uses the gratitude, love and joy energy before tidying up and creating that book, that makes tidying up easier, heart become less cluttering and joyful and she becomes successful. Her energy is so good. I love how she smiles all the time and have such great attitude throughout the interview. Wow such a lovely and inspiring lady.
I love her energy, her aura. She seems like wonderful person 😊
