This is what I like about Meng. He doesn't hold back.
As a straight woman who grew up in the gay community (thanks to having a gay father) and lived in Japan for five years, this is the channel I didn't know I needed in my life
I am so happy to hear. Thank you!
Hi guys, finally some bear content! We had so much fun talking to Moco-san. Let us know what you think. Have a nice week ahead ;)
0:45 "i think bears are hot, but they dont think i am hot" bro as a bear myself, I think twinks are hot and cute, but I get the impression that they dont think bears are hot.
Maybe this is just a case of both sides thinking the other doesnt like them, so no one reaches out.
As a straight man with a gay twin, I find this to be really interesting. Not only as an ally, but as someone who has visited Japan twice, I want to take him next time and he mentioned this very video to me. So, this was really cool! Thanks guys!
Thank you! so sweet of you, I wish you guys a great trip ;)
This was such a fun interview. The bar owner was funny, chilled and respectful, and I really like the questions asked. You guys keep getting better and better.😊
Thanks Mike, I was afraid that my questions were too "aggressive" haha
@@TokyoBTM Not at all! They came across as playful, not aggressive😆
Thank you not only for the English subtitles but also for colour-coding them to indicate who is speaking. When the conversation gets busy, that really helps to follow along. 👏🏽
I love how Meng isn't afraid to ask the "important" questions, such as " Are you a top / bottom / versatile?" 😀😁
Sometimes, you can see Andrew cringing. LOL
Meng coming out as a chaser was funny. Knowing that there is more easy being a bear 🐻 is beautiful, here is kinda complicated. I'm married now but the discrimination within the gay community is heavy *badabum*
The Bear community have some of the nicest human beings I have met. Loved this interview and was quite surprised to hear that body hair is also popular in Japan.
Yes, beefy and hairy guys are very popular here I believe
That’s not happens in US, bear community is very toxic here
After my 35+ years 'out' in the USA, I have found that the 'bear' community is the friendliest, most down-to-earth, sincere, most welcoming sub-group withing the greater male gay community.
Then why do they have "bear exclusive" bars as Meng mentioned in the video?
That doesn't sound very welcoming at all.
I think Bradely F is referring to the bear community as a whole in comparison to other sub-groups.
Happy Pride
Only if you're fat
Meng so str8🤣forward luv it. He always feel so comfortable talking about Andrew lol
Tokyo's biggest gossip girl haha
OMG! Meng's skin is GLOWING for the holiday season.
Thank you ;)
Really appreciate the effort of whoever is doing the translations when editing! It's really tough and I don't really see it a lot with English-speaking foreigners in Japan.
Meng is so direct it was so funny 🤣🤣🤣 thanks for this cool interview guys!! xxxx
It finally happened! Bears BEARS 🐻! Andrew is a cub, you just need to grow the beard some more. A new bar to go! I went to Eagle Tokyo and had such a blast. People of all sizes and colors. Beyond welcoming. One curious thing in the apps was that everyone considers themselves Chub in Japan, even though some of them are just stocky. That beefy body plus face hair is HOT! Can’t wait to go back. Thanks for another great video ❤️
The Tokyo BTM videos are really the ideal place for all those questions we've wanted to ask for years!! Well done xx
What strikes me about this exchange is you go into a place and begin a dialogue and some might think, 'oh, that's not done to ask these questions', but you, and very quickly, people open up.
I remember when I started going to Saunas in London, about twenty years ago, people wouldn't talk. They wouldn't interact verbally, because there was some unwritten code, that it was not done.
Maybe the reticence was that half the people were there surreptitiously - usually guys in straight marriages - and were scared of questions, or simply, of relaxing too much (as opposed to a quick in and out).
Anyway, I decided I'd break the written code, and always, when I did, the ice was broken and people opened up and started chatting. Indeed, over the coming years, I saw the scene grow and things become much more relaxed.
All it took was someone to break the silence and that's what you're doing great in your video!
Really fun video guys. I can’t believe Meng gets ignored. Surely he’d be the centre of attraction in any bar, no matter what the theme. Such segregated categories in bar life are an anathema to me to be honest but probably makes finding your type easier ❤️❤️❤️
Perfume in the background--excellent taste.
I 100% agree with you
Totally, gay icons
Love love looooved this episode! The bartender was so nice and welcoming and even the other costumers were so welcoming! I also really loved the summery info at the end as it gave me a boost to actually visit the place! Definitely going there when I come visit Tokyo again ^_^ Arigatooooo guurls xx
Douitashimashite 😊
I think this is my favorite video you've done so far- I laughed out loud multiple times and I love that Meng took charge of asking questions that you both seemed really curious about, but in a well- intentioned way.
Lol poor Meng, I feel like this whole visit was him trying to find a bear 🤣
Wishing you the best of luck 🤞
As was pointed out asparagus and bacon does not work out. 😂
Your description of the exclusivity just has me imagining you two going undercover in these exclusive bear bars by wearing those fake pregnancy bellies and growing mustaches!
I really enjoy these type of videos lol. It’s interesting how many types of gay bars there are in japan.
There are so many of them. We still have hundreds to go
love this video! was wondering if you guys would consider seeing the sailor moon illumination lights? 💗 i know andrew like sailor moon so i’m hoping you guys will post about it! 💘
love to find bear content here..
I love these bar interviews! Such a delight to watch.
BUN! BUN! ✋😊🤚 That was so cute!
Haha do it! 😉
OMG! I'm at work now and will watch this later but YES! this is a video i requested! so happy you could do it. I'm really grateful! thank you!
Now I finally know what my body type is - “Basic” 😂
Fun coincidence, I’ve been 5’7, 135lbs for the vast majority of my adult life
LOL haha just joking, just in case anyone is offended 😜
Interesting! And I'm happy to hear that society is becoming more accepting towards all body types in Japan. Hopefully that development will continue :D thank you for the video!
This was so entertaining and fun! You two are the best. Don’t worry - you’re both adorable. Really enjoy your work!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This was a great interview! I love content like this. You guys actually talk to a diverse range of people and it is fantastic. Meng and Andrew, never change. Love from Australia!
Awww. Thank you for your kind words
Yay! A bar I could go to! (and take my twin bro to as well!)
This is a great video thank you! My fiancé and I are both bears and we were meant to visit Tokyo in 2019 (we are from London). I was a bit worried that as a 173cm, 120kg guy I might not physically fit into certain bars let alone be welcome. There is so much straight info on Tokyo and the gay info tends to be directed towards the young, thin guys, so this video is gold to me. More please! Also will Meng take Moco-san's suggestion and try to weigh as much as 20kg? Keep making videos guys, and when we finally get to Tokyo we owe you a drink!
I love your channel.
The materials are so diverse. Thank you for educating us every time, Tokyo BTM!
So nice of you
That was quite fascinating. Thanks for delving into this. Doing a search for Asparagus / Bacon parties is not a common enough term for Google. So I guess it is exclusive to Japan Bear Bars.
I love my bears and I ADORE Perfume, so this was the video I never knew I needed!!
What a fun video. The bar and its mascot are adorable! And I was totally distracted by all the Perfume videos on the TVs.
Andrew I think you’d be considered an Otter 🦦 so cute 💕
Yay! This is great timing. Going into the theater today for tech week of the Nutcracker program.
Omg I didn’t expect they were so open to talk about it
This change my perspective on them 👍🏼
Great content as always!
MORE BEAR BARS PLEASE
Wonderful video on Bear culture in Japan , Tatsuya is adorable........ LOL
Your interviews are always interesting. It is enjoyable to hear about different cultures, and different countries. There are a lot of similarities, and differences in the communities. Like in the US... bears love their cubs... In the Philippines it is a 80/20 split of mostly tops. 😎
Asparagus and Bacon that got me :-D that was too funny ... but what an interesting intro to get to know more about Bears.
Yesssss, this was the episode I was waiting for! 🐻 Clearly I need to brush up on my Japanese again!
I love your guys videos so much! The way you really get out into the community and explore various areas is awesome and you ask real questions about acceptance and bias and the fun sexy stuff. Those real conversations are so genuine and honestly if more people in our community did that wed be better for it! Great job guys! I watched this one while on the treadmill so thanks for the inspiration! Lol
Your charm did not work Meng?? I don’t believe it! I do like the tips at the end. Very useful.
Great video, I never realized how popular bears were in Japan until I moved to Sendai. In Yokohama/Tokyo I felt quite ignored on Grindr by the Japanese population (I probably should have used 9monsters). I moved to Sendai and downloaded 9monsters and everything has been great, except finding actual love of course. I’ve had many guys tell me they love a “bigger body” and they also like other bigger parts 💀. I do wonder though, do Japanese bear community discriminate against black guys... I guess the mileage varies. Anyway, great video! I’ll definitely go to this bar next time I’m in Ni-chome.
This was such a fun video. Lots of jokes while still asking and answering questions.
this is so much fun!
That was so much fun! One of the best bar interviews you've had so far. Loved it & can't wait to go to one of these places.
Finally, been waiting on this day!
I wanted to say thank you very much for showing the bear community in Japan as a whole. It means a lot to viewers outside of the country to know that if they are to come to places like Tokyo they would be accommodated for and not feel as if they were extras per se.
Honestly, the guys I‘ve seen “in the wild” that have openly liked me have been extremely creepy and touchy and I even stopped going out because I felt so uncomfortable.
Some weeks ago I met an amazing guy that took that fear away and he was so respectful and we had a lot of fun! I appreciate guys that like all kinds of different body types and not only the typical instagram models!
That's great and I hope it works out! I just want to add that "instgram types" are not the average gay man.
Wow Meng really came for you on this one Andrew. Putting you on the spot like that lol
Awesome video! Love the bear content!
Love how meng is just a chaser and we love him for it lol
Andrew would be unstoppable when he becomes GMPD. And I just learned about the D/S relationship within the community! There's hope for Meng, Andrew and me lol
Love bears 🐻 very accepting and friendly. The guy sat next to Meng is very cute 🥰
Awesome content as always, kisses from Brazil 🐻✨🤌🏻🇧🇷
I had no idea there were any overweight people in Japan at all!
Thank you for the video. Have an amazing week!
@johnmeigs719 True!
I had a great time with you guys tonight 🥰 Mike … super top , super bottom 😆😆😆
Oh wow they do exist!
Tried to find anything Bear when i have been as Tourist in Japan well hidden secret place , thank you for showing this little safe place for big boys, next visit …..soon I hope , I did have the most wonderful time at 24 ….highly recommend them .
Im a little smaller than Mastko Delux shape and have always had fun in Tokyo
Much ♥️🌈🇨🇦
This was interesting video today I must say very cool see this community being open.
Loved the video, so much fun!
This video was just perfect! It's not easy hearing about the bears in Japan and I really appreciated learning about GMPD being a Japanese "tribe" so to speak.
Also loved seeing Tatsuya again! Always down for some Fatmanparapara ❤️
Omg when Meng said basic 😂 Great video you guys!!
Nice to hear about the bear community in Japan. Glad to hear about such a fun place. Hope for Meng's sake that event is coming up soon!
Great video guys, I hope to visit this place when I’m allowed to enter Japan
Basic! Andrew is NOT basic - he's terrific!
Great video! I'm so sad that you guys are so single! You both are charismatic and handsome men! Your kings are out there! Don't give up! Thank you again for the great content!
Thank you so much!! we will keep creating
Wow guys sorry only just discovered your videos. These are fascinating stuff. I never thought I’d see such a well made funny and REAL survey of the gay nightlife in Japan. The characters at the bars! Those mama-san are a class of their own. Really really great, well done.
Nice video! I want to visit BunBun🙂
I found this really interesting, light hearted and a welcoming bar. I dont really have a type of guy i go for, as long as they are friendly , a nice attitude and a nice personality and called Meng then im happy ❤
Love your videos and the topics you discuss. I am probably considered a bear but Meng your one of my types 😊 keep up the great work!
perfume playing on the background! i would definitely go there when your country opens!
Thanks for giving us this look at gay Bear life in Japan.
This is so interesting, I find your content informative...Am a Eurasian Cub I think...Just like a panda...thank you for providing a bear content...oh and by the way...The Halloween dragQueen video, well...Meng is my pick. Thanks guys.
You boys are just so popular everywhere you go!! This was a LOT of fun!! I was laughing out loud. Learned a lot! Asparagus Bacon eh? LOL Many thanks.
Glad you enjoyed Keith
Id love for you to cover more about the GMPD world in Japan!! This was so interesting and fun to watch
Perfume MVs on loop, already won my respect
This interview is so fun and wild haha
Oh I've been waiting for this episode. Interview was awesome, maybe it is your knowledge of Japanese makes pacing so good. I really liked bar and cute guys on the right 👉
I really love your videos! They're so fun and informative! I'm learning so much about Japan and the LGBTQ community, stuff that I don't find anywhere else. Thank you and keep up the great work!
Fascinating channel!!!! Love it!
Thanks so much!
Excellent video as always!
I'm not into bears, but these guys seem so fun and friendly I would just love to be their drinking buddy
As a certified American bear, I can say with authority that Meng is hot.
This was such a funny, entertaining, and fascinating video. Keep up the good work, guys! 👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽👍🏽I am rooting for you to get to 50K subscribers, and then 100K subscribers in due course. You deserve it, just be patient. 😀
By the way, I think Andrew is attractive just the way he is -- he is not "too skinny" nor fat. It's interesting to hear Andrew mention that he is sometimes judged by his skin [colour] in Japan; I suppose that gives him a bit of a sense of how black and brown people are judged / discriminated against around the world, which white guys don't usually get to experience.
VERS ERASURE! :D
Definitely a fun exploration of Bear culture in Japan! The GMPD acronym is very useful to know. Also a weird language quirk - D/S has a VERY different connotation in english (Dom/sub), so definitely something to be forewarned about if you're going from one culture to the other! I'm more used to the slim-chubby relationship as a "chaser."
This interview was so interesting and funny 😄 I love how everyone was so nice
Omg…now i wanna hit up one of these japanese bear bars! 🐼
The asparagus bacon event is cool. Wish we had something like that for chubs and chasers here in Los Angeles. Hard to find others looking for body contrast.
THE MASCOT IS SO CUTE I NEED FAN ART
I just had an intense déjà vu watching this. 🤔 Thank you for your content.
I'm sad I saw this after my trip to Tokyo - I ended up at Eagle Blue, which was dead. I might have gotten some attention in this one as a chubby bear haha. Next time I'll check it out, Thanks for the video!
Don't poke the Bear, unless it pokes you first 🤣🤣🤣
Oh Meng, if I had only known. Do I have to gain back that 70 pounds I've lost this year? lol
omg asparagus bacon is genius 😂
So cool to see how nuanced nightlife in shinjuku nichome can be! Are there any spaces/bars/events that cater to bisexuals? what's dating and hook-up culture like in tokyo for bisexuals?
