I can appreciate more difficult discussions being had on a learning channel. A lot of times things are catered to just beginner learners. I'm not super advanced but I want to comprehend things that are more difficult, to improve. Thank you!!
You and I have similar feelings about language learning😊 I'm convinced that difficult but interesting conversations will motivate you to learn more than easy but boring ones.
Easily one of the top channels I follow. Great conversations and interesting strolls around Japan, as well as other locations. This channel has been the best for my listening practice. Please continue to post! 👏🏾
I love this conversation. In-depth talks make you not only learn the language, but also the culture and society, which in turn makes you more attracted to the language when compared to textbook “beginner conversations”.
(＾ω＾)👍️✨ Maybe the fact that we're not talking for your learning, but rather just talking about what I want to talk about, makes it a rather natural, everyday conversation that you could be interested in.
I love how this channel is so sincere in enhancing our (Nihongo learners) conversation skills . My sincere request never stop making these wonderful videos...
Since the flow of conversation varies somewhat from language to language, listening to authentic conversations like this is ideal for learning. By the way, as you may know, it is not a habit peculiar to me to use a lot of 相づち, but it is the same for all Japanese speakers. It is a characteristic of the Japanese language and Japanese people.
お誕生日おめでとうございます。🥳 My Japanese might not have progressed as fast as I would like, but I guess its nice that I am still on it and didnt burnout or stopped it completly. Your videos are so helpful and I come back to them from time to time to see how much progress I made. Thank you for that.
😍Wow~💕 うれしい～😁 I'm glad you remembered my birthday!! Yes, it is important to continue. The rate of growth varies from person to person. But it is also important to create an environment where you can grow very much at some point. I'm rooting for your Japanese learning😊
I am learning japanese. This video helped me to learn some new vocabulary and I also got some interesting information about Japan😊 Hope one day I will come to this wonderful country! Thank you! ありがとうございます！
👍 I first follow the English subtitles while listening ... once I understand the conversation .. I follow the nihongo while listening to the conversation .. I listen over and over again to better understand the conversation .. thank you for making the video for learning the language .. make more videos please ..
I love this, just honestly talking with each other about your society as fellow Japanese without the fear of causing an issue for others. ♥ Stay bold and ask questions. - And at the same time, we got to learn a bit Japanese on the way~
I absolutely love your videos. I feel like I can learn something more than just Japanese. Thanks as always for the interesting conversation, keep it up!
Yeah. It's just irritating.( ´∀`)lol It's greatly reducing the value of the contents. But yet the market value of Japanese porn is over $300 billion. That's the equivalent of Toyota's annual sales. If that system were eliminated, Japan could more easily benefit economically.
@@moshimoshi.yusuke That's what the discussion is about, just choose someone who would have a different opinion and would like to debate :) Your channel helps me a lot to learn Japanese. Thank you for that!
Oh, yeah. I'd love to walk the streets with Ken and film video. But I don't know why, but when I meet him it's often on days when it's raining and not a good day to film😖
It might be a little late to an reply for this but I just happaned to watch this and want to say that it was an really interesting video. Had to take a look on the subs quite some times with this, as it wasn't too easy. But that's ok. I prefer having somedifficult spikes, as it also means a conversation can be richer in it's topics. Maybe I am overthinking things but I feel like this gave a really interesting and rare insight to japanese culture and the way it's people think. (I still understand that of course opinions and thoughts are always different, depending on the person and these are just two perspectives). ですからゆうすけさんもけんさんにもありがとうございますよ。 =)
Thanks for your comment😊 I make these videos because I believe that real conversations like this are more immersive than scripted conversations. So I'm glad you are interested in this conversation. Anyway, I like talking, so the second half of this video is me talking too much, but that's normal for me😄
Thank you so much, very interesting discussion. There is so much to say. Being italian, with a Japanese wife, I have been in Japan many times and I can see it from my different point of view. It doesn't meen it is right, just different. But I have too much to say so I can't do it on a comment. I think You are very onest and I appreciate a lot the fact You can talk about things that usually Japanese people prefer to hide. I confirm you that here in Italy, nobody is wearing masks, even in very crowded cities like Florence, and nobody is talking or thinking on Coronavirus anymore. I will watch the video again, I'm very interested on japanese habits, behaviors and way or thinking.
Thank you for your comment. What I talked about in this video is only what I think about Japan from my point of view. Of course there are Japanese and foreigners who think differently, and that is fine. Considering the current world situation, first of all, I am thankful that we are in democratic countries where we can talk freely even complaining about our countries😊
Interesting conversation! Thank you as always, Yusuke san. I would definitely give you my vote if you run for Prime Minister (although I am not eligible to vote) 😂
This is my third video I watched and now I'm afraid to watch the 4th as I might need to take a plane to Japan soon after 😄 I hope you will find a way to overcome the economy troubles, find a way to increase the birth-rate and finally find a cure for the mosaic mask.
を is pronounced "o", not pronounced "yo". In old Japan, を was pronounced as "wo". So there are some people who pronounce it as "wo" because of the remnants of that. Some people also pronounce it "wo" depending on their region of origin. People in Ehime Prefecture, for example, pronounce it "wo".
hey! been watching some of your videos. i was wondering if you had a patron or any kind of way to receive support or donations for your videos. I think if you included that in your future videos in the beginning a good amount of people including myself would drop a dime in it. Since your videos are pretty damn helpful in my opinions. We need more people like you who are genuinely just interested in educating enthusiasts and learners like you. Thanks!
[11:23] In the Netherlands in the past there was a constant risk of dikes breaking and flooding, both from the sea and the rivers. There is a theory that this is the source of Dutch culture with regard to cooperation, the ability to compromise, and perhaps also pressure to conform. On these points the Netherlands is very different from for example Britain. However, unlike your suggestion with regard to Japan, there was no trend towards totalitarianism or groupism. In fact, there is little respect for authority in the Netherlands, and individualism is strong, unlike in Japan. I looked up the Netherlands and Japan in Hofstede's Power Distance versus Individualism index. The Netherlands scores high on individualism and low on power distance, only the UK, Australia and the US are a bit more extreme. However, while Japan is in the opposite corner of this index, it is actually still relatively individualistic and has only moderate respect for authority. Japan scores almost the same as Spain. Countries that are really low on individualism and more hierarchical are countries like Guatemala, Venezuela, Indonesia, Malaysia. Even Russia is less individualistic and more hierarchical than Japan. I read somewhere that here is an empirical finding that more wealth or prosperity in a society correlates with rising individualism. The same research suggested that while this is a global trend, certain countries like Japan may preserve more collectivist values, but I suspect that Japan is not as exceptional as many think (but I could be wrong).
@@pierrebutaeyeI'm in Switzerland, it's the last island of reason in Europe. Immigration is not a sane idea in my opinion, it brings immense unbalance on the planet. Wish Japan the best.
First of all thank you for your videos Yusuke-san. It helps for my Japanese studying a lot. I know Russian, English and Turkish. I can speak these 3 languages fluently. Japanese will be 4th language, if I learn of course. I have a question out of context, what will you think about if I say that I want to work in tourism industry in Japan ( hotels, travel agencies etc. ) ? How high are my chances ? Also, I heard that Kurds ( with Turkish passports ) cause a lot problem in Japan lately ( I'm not Kurd ). Does that change the way how Japanese people look at people from Turkey ? It became so hard to live in Turkey. People became too much noisy, unrespectful. I do not have financial problems, I earn decent amount money here but I really love Japanese people, the way they live and how they respectful to each other. Thing I am trying to say is, I do not want to move to Japan because of financial problems, I want to move to Japan because of bad people here in Turkey. So I think I will try to work and live in Japan. I know that liking a country from afar and actullay working and trying to live there would be sooooo different things but I really struggle to live here in Turkey because of ignorant, noisy people here. What are your recommendations ? Thank you again for eveything. I wish you and your loved ones a good and healthy life, Yusuke-san.
Hi, Attila-san! OK, I just finished reading your comment. My opinion is...↓ "What will you think about if I say that I want to work in tourism industry in Japan (hotels, travel agencies etc.)? How high are my chances?" ↓ It depends on your Japanese level. The Japanese tourism industry tends to value multilingual people, so you should have some good chances of success working in Japan. But the most important aspect of working in Japan is being able to speak Japanese. I talked a little bit about that in ↓this video↓ th-cam.com/video/S_jSDChotSo/w-d-xo.html "I heard that Kurds (with Turkish passports) cause a lot problem in Japan lately (I'm not Kurd). Does that change the way how Japanese people look at people from Turkey?" ↓ To be honest, that incident has increased Japanese who have a bad impression of both Kurds and Turkish. But Kurds and Turkish are a minority in Japan, so it is not a big problem. All I can say at this point is that the incident will not affect your future in a negative way. On the other hand, Chinese and Koreans are the majority foreign groups in Japan, so there are some Japanese who dislike them. I don't care at all who or what nationality anyone is. Probably more than half of Japanese people are like that, I guess. "I want to move to Japan because of bad people here in Turkey." ↓ Of course there are bad people and rude people in Japan, and there are people who will irritate you. Besides, Islamic common sense does not apply here. I can't say whether you would accept it or not, so why don't you try staying in Japan for a short period of time first?
@@moshimoshi.yusuke oh my ! I can't thank you enough Yusuke-san ! Thank you so so soooo much for your precious answers and for how you took my questions seriously. It really boosted my morale and my motivation. I will take absolutely take notes from your comments seriously in my future plans. If I ever achieve my goals someday, I will never forget your help. Thank you for your time. Thank you! Thank you!! All the best wishes Yusuke-San !
There is something I forgot to tell you. Perhaps you know, in Warabi city and Kawaguchi city in Saitama Prefecture Japan, where the riots took place, Kurdish refugees and Japanese have been living together peacefully since around 1990. However, the defects in Japanese law have caused some troubles. The issue of immigrants and refugees will become more complicated in Japan in the near future.
@@moshimoshi.yusuke Thank you, yes I heard about it in news. So sad to witness these things. I support whatever decision Japanese people will take about immigrants. Japan is one of the safest countries on earth and you guys have all the right to change laws, make actions to keep it that way. Japan is yours. Only Japanese people have right to make decision for Japan. I really can't understand those immigrants. Some country is opening doors for you, welcoming you, looking after for you and you start harassing them, fighting, disturbing them. That's such nonsense, so horrible. If Japanese people will not let me entering their country, I will accept it and go back to my home. If they will accept me, I 'need' to follow your rules and learn to live like how you people do. But immigrants try change the country they live in. No, they have to change themselves and adapt. Thank you again Yuusuke-San.
I'm currently learning Japanese, and it has been 3 months. To be honest, I am quite happy with my progress. However, when I listen to videos in which I can't understand 90% of the words, I get discouraged 🥲. I know I'm asking for a lot, but I really want someone who can speak to me in Japanese, even though I won't be able to understand anything. I also want to practice speaking in Japanese, even though my knowledge is limited. However, I feel really embarrassed when I speak Japanese in front of a native speaker because I'm not good at it 😢. Can anyone be my language partner and help me improve my Japanese pronunciation or at least help me learn enough to communicate more freely? P.S : I've tried several apps to find a language partner, but I haven't been successful.
Very intersting thinkings! But Korea, where I live, is being destroyed very rapidly because of very very new ideas and thinks. This is because very new ideas, e.g. political correctness (PC) and other absurd discourses, are the mainstream of society. Japan is politically, socially and economically conservative and will therefore remain a major power in East Asia for a long time.
Thanks for your comment😊 I don't know whether it is good or bad that Japan is a conservative country. But more importantly, I believe that Korea is a much more economically strategic and you're more industrious people than us. We have much to learn from Korea🇰🇷(^-^)
I love your videos and your clear voice. But I wish they had actual Japanese subtitles track that I could turn on and off. The auto-generated subtitles are often incorrect and I would like to be able to listen with no text on the screen.
At my workplace, very few people wear masks, but in places where there are many people, such as government offices and trains, about half the people wear masks. In hospitals, it is announced that people should wear masks.
I love the format of this video, but please note that many other countries e.g. UK, America, Australia also have welfare systems! Crime is higher than Japan because some Western people don't feel shame.

Yusuke-san, could you tell us when the pronunciation of 「を」 becomes "WO" or "YO" or "O". I sometimes hear it with three sounds. Onegaishimasu.
を is pronounced "o", not pronounced "yo".
In old Japan, を was pronounced as "wo". So there are some people who pronounce it as "wo" because of the remnants of that. Some people also pronounce it "wo" depending on their region of origin. People in Ehime Prefecture, for example, pronounce it "wo".

First of all thank you for your videos Yusuke-san. It helps for my Japanese studying a lot. I know Russian, English and Turkish. I can speak these 3 languages fluently. Japanese will be 4th language, if I learn of course.
I have a question out of context, what will you think about if I say that I want to work in tourism industry in Japan ( hotels, travel agencies etc. ) ? How high are my chances ? Also, I heard that Kurds ( with Turkish passports ) cause a lot problem in Japan lately ( I'm not Kurd ). Does that change the way how Japanese people look at people from Turkey ?
It became so hard to live in Turkey. People became too much noisy, unrespectful. I do not have financial problems, I earn decent amount money here but I really love Japanese people, the way they live and how they respectful to each other. Thing I am trying to say is, I do not want to move to Japan because of financial problems, I want to move to Japan because of bad people here in Turkey. So I think I will try to work and live in Japan. I know that liking a country from afar and actullay working and trying to live there would be sooooo different things but I really struggle to live here in Turkey because of ignorant, noisy people here.
What are your recommendations ? Thank you again for eveything. I wish you and your loved ones a good and healthy life, Yusuke-san.
Hi, Attila-san!
OK, I just finished reading your comment.
My opinion is...↓
"What will you think about if I say that I want to work in tourism industry in Japan (hotels, travel agencies etc.)? How high are my chances?"
↓
It depends on your Japanese level. The Japanese tourism industry tends to value multilingual people, so you should have some good chances of success working in Japan. But the most important aspect of working in Japan is being able to speak Japanese. I talked a little bit about that in ↓this video↓

"I heard that Kurds (with Turkish passports) cause a lot problem in Japan lately (I'm not Kurd). Does that change the way how Japanese people look at people from Turkey?"
↓
To be honest, that incident has increased Japanese who have a bad impression of both Kurds and Turkish. But Kurds and Turkish are a minority in Japan, so it is not a big problem. All I can say at this point is that the incident will not affect your future in a negative way. On the other hand, Chinese and Koreans are the majority foreign groups in Japan, so there are some Japanese who dislike them. I don't care at all who or what nationality anyone is. Probably more than half of Japanese people are like that, I guess.
"I want to move to Japan because of bad people here in Turkey."

Of course there are bad people and rude people in Japan, and there are people who will irritate you. Besides, Islamic common sense does not apply here. I can't say whether you would accept it or not, so why don't you try staying in Japan for a short period of time first?
@@moshimoshi.yusuke oh my ! I can't thank you enough Yusuke-san ! Thank you so so soooo much for your precious answers and for how you took my questions seriously. It really boosted my morale and my motivation. I will take absolutely take notes from your comments seriously in my future plans. If I ever achieve my goals someday, I will never forget your help. Thank you for your time. Thank you! Thank you!! All the best wishes Yusuke-San !
There is something I forgot to tell you. Perhaps you know, in Warabi city and Kawaguchi city in Saitama Prefecture Japan, where the riots took place, Kurdish refugees and Japanese have been living together peacefully since around 1990. However, the defects in Japanese law have caused some troubles. The issue of immigrants and refugees will become more complicated in Japan in the near future.
@attilethehunnic
It's not a riot, it's a group fight.
I wish you a successful future👍️
@@moshimoshi.yusuke Thank you, yes I heard about it in news. So sad to witness these things. I support whatever decision Japanese people will take about immigrants. Japan is one of the safest countries on earth and you guys have all the right to change laws, make actions to keep it that way. Japan is yours. Only Japanese people have right to make decision for Japan. I really can't understand those immigrants. Some country is opening doors for you, welcoming you, looking after for you and you start harassing them, fighting, disturbing them. That's such nonsense, so horrible. If Japanese people will not let me entering their country, I will accept it and go back to my home. If they will accept me, I 'need' to follow your rules and learn to live like how you people do. But immigrants try change the country they live in. No, they have to change themselves and adapt. Thank you again Yuusuke-San.

Japanese is not easy but I'll not give up
(＾ω＾)Nice!
I'm currently learning Japanese, and it has been 3 months. To be honest, I am quite happy with my progress. However, when I listen to videos in which I can't understand 90% of the words, I get discouraged 🥲. I know I'm asking for a lot, but I really want someone who can speak to me in Japanese, even though I won't be able to understand anything. I also want to practice speaking in Japanese, even though my knowledge is limited. However, I feel really embarrassed when I speak Japanese in front of a native speaker because I'm not good at it 😢. Can anyone be my language partner and help me improve my Japanese pronunciation or at least help me learn enough to communicate more freely?
P.S : I've tried several apps to find a language partner, but I haven't been successful.
面白いと深い話だね。。。
モザイク??? 消して消して!!! はやくはやく!!!
動画ありがとうございます、ゆうすけ先生!
真面目に話しちゃいました 笑
モザイクの話も実は真面目な話です。日本人はマネタイズが下手なので不必要なルールを真面目に守るんですけど、実はアダルトコンテンツは日本だけでも年間で $300 billion も稼いでるんですよ。これはトヨタの年間売上げと同じ金額なんです。そしてモザイクを消すだけで もっとお金が入ってくるのに… もったいないと思ってます。
@@moshimoshi.yusuke それ考えなかった、流石にゆうすけ先生はカッコいい!
@@moshimoshi.yusuke いつか、ゆうすけさんがモザイクを消してくれます！ 期待しましょう！😎
Hi sir
Hi(＾ω＾)✋
PLZ ADD ROMANJI..NOT HIRAGANA
Very intersting thinkings!
But Korea, where I live, is being destroyed very rapidly because of very very new ideas and thinks.
This is because very new ideas, e.g. political correctness (PC) and other absurd discourses, are the mainstream of society.
Japan is politically, socially and economically conservative and will therefore remain a major power in East Asia for a long time.
Thanks for your comment😊 I don't know whether it is good or bad that Japan is a conservative country. But more importantly, I believe that Korea is a much more economically strategic and you're more industrious people than us. We have much to learn from Korea🇰🇷(^-^)
I love your videos and your clear voice. But I wish they had actual Japanese subtitles track that I could turn on and off. The auto-generated subtitles are often incorrect and I would like to be able to listen with no text on the screen.
Are work places requiring masks over there?
Everyone quit wearing masks wear I live... wow ... I think its been almost 2 years now?
At my workplace, very few people wear masks, but in places where there are many people, such as government offices and trains, about half the people wear masks. In hospitals, it is announced that people should wear masks.
Why still wear mask, the issue shows that Japanese‘s confidences seriously defeat, and full of unnecessary concern always.
You are right. Your short sentence aptly describes the modern Japanese.
I love the format of this video, but please note that many other countries e.g. UK, America, Australia also have welfare systems! Crime is higher than Japan because some Western people don't feel shame.
where in from welfare only helps very poor, not working class, japan has more general support which means less desperate people 😮
Thanks for taking the time and courage, keep it up!
