@@sorathetroll for people in america what if when we see japanese people say HOLA COMO ESTAS?, ATENDER ME? because it would sound like gibberish to them, but to us its the english japanese people think of
The "Greeting Kids" are especially scary because they tend to run in packs (school trip groups). You'll pass them at a location you're visiting and they'll ALL want to practice their greetings on you 😂
It may not necessarily have been practice that they were after (well, it could've been to boast too, but that's not my point, lol) The Greeting kids (and some of us adults) may have been too nervous to think of anything to say BEYOND the default conversation-openers Perhaps like studying for a written exam...but then, when you see the test in front of you, sudden your mind goes blank and you can barely remember what your name is....and then you either figure out how to cope...or have a nervous breakdown and discretely run out of the classroom
Honestly, the tissue people scared me at first but I eventually didn't mind them. Free tissues with advertising are great in a pinch in public restrooms at train stations. The one that still sticks with me was the 84 year old man I met on the subway in Nagoya, but not in a bad way. He asked if I was an American and started speaking in English (his English was good btw). He mentioned how he had been in the Japanese army in WW2, and was grateful that the American GIs brought food with them. I damn near started crying considering we were in a city that had been bombed all to hell by the US. Oh, and at 84 he was also starting to learn French!
Becouse in war soldier just told to fight, when they face reality at the battlefield they will think that the enemy is actually human too. The psychopath is an anomaly tho
Good thing the Yakuza games thoroughly prepared me for the Tissue Givers. Their only goal was just to clog up my inventory so I know how to dodge them now. Really appreciate the Japanese Tourism simulator for that one.
You forgot those in stores and shops pretending you are not there: I happened to be in several stores,...even at Yodobashi Camera, trying to ask for some information regarding some items on sale (and I was going to do it in Japanese) but the guys there were ignoring me or just moving towards potential Japanese customers. They were all freaking out, because they didn't want to deal with a foreigner speaking in English. Probably they were not feeling confident enough with their English skills. Eventually I stared at someone and said loud:"Sumimasen!"...raising my hand...and then s/he couldn't ignore me anymore. And when I talked in Japanese, they totally "melted" and paid attention to me, behaving nicely
From what I understand, perhaps they couldn't understand English and thought you were saying something weird to them. Once you spoke in their native tongue, then they likely understood and decided to help you.
They might have been too scared to speak a language they’re not fluent at (totally me) since you could say something offensive without knowing to a foreigner, or it’s just that one socially awkward moment except you can’t escape from the scene
This happened to me last week when I wanted to buy a Fresher suit and I was the only person in the store and they still ignored me until I spoke to them. I almost said something about how rude that is, but didn't 😅 (I can speak fluently)
As a person who can hardly survive the "fast speaker" and "english learner" level. I admit that the dungeon named "Japan" is one of the hardest dungeons i've ever experienced in my life
Once I was going up an escalator in a shopping center in Tokyo, and I made eye contact with a group of girls in school uniforms going down the opposite escalator. As soon as they made eye contact with me, they stopped talking to each other, panicked and ran away. For context, I was a teenage foreigner with blonde hair wearing a big pink coat. To this day I wonder why they ran from me. I don’t think I looked particularly intimidating 😂 Maybe they thought I was strange, who knows?
We have Phone Starers in the USA as well. Too many to count 😅. Speaking of, I'd love to see the reverse, where you warn Japanese tourists to the USA about 10 kinds of monsters you'll find in America. 😮
To be fair, you would probably have to be one brave tourist to leave the comfort of the tourist zone to find one, outside wandering homeless person. The biggest hurdle would probably be that in America weebs are actually rare and finding anybody who speaks Japanese outside of tour guide is nigh impossible.
There is more than 10. Many more than 10, the people in this list would be considered a nuisance compared to the "monsters" of america. Would be easier to show them the good people of america.
@@AdventuringMind Eh, weebs aren't that rare, just that the ones who go outside tend to not mention it much in public. But general anime enjoyers are actually really common, even if most of us simply like Japanese media the same way we like our own media.
You forgot about the random uncle who rides bicycle at 4 am and randomly greets you while passing by and then suddenly disappears as fast as they greet you.
This video is legitimately funny. I've never heard of these archetypes, but I feel like I've encountered all of them when I was living in Kansai. Sora, you're imagination and ability to teach Japanese culture through humour is simply amazing.
The greeting kids are pretty scary on your first encounter. I went to Japan a few years back with a friend group, we were all foreigners so everytime we saw a group of school kids we kind of just braced for the inevitable "HI HOW ARE YOU? GOODBYE!" to be said to each and every one of us in the group. It's scary but kind of sweet the first few times.
It is scary how accurate this is. My first interaction with Japanese people the evening i arrived in Japan was with two Ojisan who kept saying "I'm sorry i am Japanese, i can only speak Japanese, i am sorry." (in Japanese ofc) and bowing 90 degrees at me and my friend.
Thank you Sora. Now I can safely say, whenever you get approached by any of these Scary people, just say: " You look like you watch anime." And they immediately leave. Works everytime!
@@catpoke9557 Well I do know people in real life in the US who do at least like some anime (even if it's the more normal shows like Dragon Ball, RIP Akira Toriyama), so there is a chance Americans are more open about anime than even Japanese.
Okay i haven't even went to japan but i've been meeting japanese people online since i'm learning the language and i have actually met some of the people you mentioned before i just didn't know each one i met was a part of a whole species
@@davidcaso3395 I've been learning for 7 months,it have been going good since i'm seeing the results,i cana understand and hold very basic conversations and even if i don't understand something i can ask them to explain it in an easier way so i can communicate well,i hope your studies are going well too!.
Another great one to help with my preparation to Japan next week. What I've learnt this week: 1. The Japanese will stare. 2. Stare back at the Japanese. 3. Just say: "HELLO IM FINE THANK YOU AND YOU?" to everyone who talks to you no matter what they say.
I feel like your skits is just another level. I have seen similar things when I was in Spain and Mexico. The staring one is the most uncomfortable. I've had so many eyes on me even though I am also a spanish speaker. Some spanish people speak like Eminem which is scary for spanish beginners.
Yea i lived in texas for a bit and i couldn't understand the mexicans super fast spanish even though i can understand when spoken slowly , they talk so fast
Ha! The fast-speaking monsters are my arch nemesis. When people speak Japanese slowly and clearly, I feel so surprised and confident about how much I am able to understand. Then, these creeps come along and make me feel like I don't know a single word of Japanese.
IDK Sora, these types of people won’t dissuade me from visiting Japan one day. Some of them are actually adorable, and those that aren’t adorable don’t bother me. Also, how did you read my mind? How did you know that I wanted to visit Japan? How did you know I was a weeb?
@@AlfredoGomez-kp4cf also, not being biased here, but Hollywood has been declining while Japanese media remains interesting. Even in video games, Japanese companies are stomping Western competitors.
you saying english in super exaggerated anime japanese will never cease to be the funniest thing on youtube. literally could watch a whole video of it like those "everyone joins smash bros" type videos
I don't know about being in Japan outside the videos on this channel because I have never been, but when I was still learning Na'vi and teaching what I knew of the conlang, we had our own "Greeting Kids" coming in just like that all the time. I was on the floor laughing because I have been in that situation countless times. I personally like to slip in slightly different responses than people are used to hearing in stock phrases to help give just a little extra push. This just tells me I would have an absolute blast with the "Greeting Kids" if I ever visited and met any on a visit to Japan. It makes me smile seeing that excitement and energy. I love helping people learn, even if it's only to give them a opportunity to practice the basics. Little example because I feel like sharing: Most people start off saying "ngaru lu fpom srak?" ("Do you have peace/wellbeing?" or "Are you well?") but that's limiting because you can technically only respond with sran/yes or kehe/no because the word "srak" forces the phrase into a yes/no question. I like to respond with sran/kehe but then slip in something like "makto fyape?" (How (is the) riding) or "pefmawn?" (what (is the) news?) to encourage people to respond with something a little more complicated than yes/no since there's usually dictionary bots on hand to help the new people out. Something like "makto fyape" especially is more conversational, and sounds less stuffy by miles. No one wants to sound like Norm. It's like the difference between walking into a room and saying a perfectly annunciated "Good day everyone, I hope you all are well." and "Hey y'all how's it hangin'?"
@@Kuronii01 I like sharing and talking about languages with people, I've met many very interesting people over the years and learned a lot of things I otherwise wouldn't have by talking to them. Of course one youtube comment I made a week ago that I barely remember certainly doesn't reflect how I talk to people as a whole. I just thought it was funny and nichely relatable because it reminded of the new learners I have met, and I have also been the "greeting kid" myself.
Bold of you to assume weebs have enough money and speak enough Japanese to just pick up and go to Japan, much less defeat these monsters, rescue the princess, defeat the demon-king, and restore the shogunate... I'll be there Thursday.
"You the viewer" was how I first went to Japan. Without knowing anything about Japan, I just decided that I hadn't had a vacation or been anywhere before, so let's go. A 4 day 3 night package with airfare and hotel was $500, so I went. But it was a just spur of the moment thought, that led up to it. The only people I really encountered on the street were the tissue givers and once we were looking at a map and a man came up to ask (in English) if we needed help, showed us were we were going and left. This was back in the early 90's .
I actually met the greeting kids last time I was in Japan, I didn’t have this video to help me but it’s ok cause nothing needed be done 👍🏻 thanks Sora!!
I always see the "staring foreigners" 🤣 They stare at you when they think you're not looking. Also the people that stare and then the next second pretend they weren't staring lol.
I’m American-Currently studying Japanese for entrance exams, and the level of voice acting and narration by Sora is CRAZY😂😂😂🔥🔥🔥 the fact that I can even understand most of it means I’m doing good with my studies. Btw- I’m a Weeb😂😂😂
Unbelievable how accurate this is. 😂But these people alone make Japan worth seeing.😂 The guys and gals with the tissues were very helpful on my first vacation in Japan. In the hotel they ran out of toilet paper for a day. So I will always be grateful to these people.
I'm pretty sure I've seen number 9 in the Yakuza games. In fact I think there's one enemy that replaces every item in your inventory with Pocket Tissues.
I currently have an Apologizer as a student, she's a young married woman and she's very sweet but good god she's always apologizing for no apparent reason. I keep telling her that she doesn't need to do that. Also in my experience the giggler is usually always exclusively female, probably because they get away with it looking "cute" even though it's annoying as hell. Men don't get to giggle like that without people calling them out for being weird.
Tysm Sora Sensei for teaching us that! I think I can survive in japan after knowing how to defeat the monsters. Also as a indian accent when i speak Japanese my accent kinda matches the accent of a native Japanese speaker. Good for me ig still got a long way to master japanese tho👀btw this one was informative af gotta save and remember this for the rest of my life.
The starers do not just target foreigners that look different. Last time I was on a train in Japan, someone kept staring at me, but I am not even a white guy or something; I am a Mongolian who has an Asian face just like them. I didn’t know Japanese so I asked him in English “can I help you??”, and then there were even more people staring at me.
I have just been back from Japan, traveled to different prefectures and the furthest I went was Sapporo (north) and Ishikawa (west of Tokyo), and I only met the Fast Speaker (when I spoke in Japanese to the best of my ability) and the Phone Enjoyer (there were hundreds of them!)
I’ve always known these personalities in my years of living in Japan, but now they have a name. Thank you. The giggler creeps me out the most, I can’t figure out what the fuck is so funny to them 😅
I think I've learned a lot today. I didn't know some of these existed. I've almost thought about just going to Japan and--what a lifesaver this is going to be.
I would add the 日本はながいですか？People who once they realize you actually live here ask: how long have you lived in Japan and once you answer go completely silent and it becomes awkward...
I'm an ALT at a middle school, the second some of the students see you have blue eyes they'll stare directly into your soul for about 20 seconds without blinking.
I dunno, I've met a lot of obsessive apologizers in my life and I've never been to Japan. I've even tried to make a habit of using "thank you" phrases instead of "I'm sorry" phrases in my own life to reduce excessive and unnecessary apologizing.
English Learner: "Hey! May I help you?"
me: "Hæ? Unnskyld, jeg forstår ikke deg. Hvis du vil så kan jeg bruke Google-Oversetter..."
OH btw this is also the best way to beat them

Also in my experience the giggler is usually always exclusively female, probably because they get away with it looking "cute" even though it's annoying as hell. Men don't get to giggle like that without people calling them out for being weird.
true. true. though there is a male version. The "snickler". I remember from my teenage years. school abusers.
Thanks Sora, I’m in Japan right now and I needed this lesson for my first day
Tysm Sora Sensei for teaching us that! I think I can survive in japan after knowing how to defeat the monsters. Also as a indian accent when i speak Japanese my accent kinda matches the accent of a native Japanese speaker. Good for me ig still got a long way to master japanese tho👀btw this one was informative af gotta save and remember this for the rest of my life.
Are we meant to collect them all? My suitcase only has room for a greeting kid.
You fool!
You just made me want to go to japan even more!
Sora is an American tourist visiting Japan confirmed
A great way to start the day in a lighter m00d when things are a bit heavy or even just in general, thanks 🤗🤗
wow this is the most earliest video I've ever watch..
The starers do not just target foreigners that look different. Last time I was on a train in Japan, someone kept staring at me, but I am not even a white guy or something; I am a Mongolian who has an Asian face just like them. I didn’t know Japanese so I asked him in English “can I help you??”, and then there were even more people staring at me.
That was very enlightening, thank you Sora
hahaha the commentary’s is soo funny, keep up the content!
And then there's the 11th, "The Cringe". Aka Sora 😂
PS: Love your content man keep it up
New Level Unlocked!
Japan is now Available!
You forgot type 11 who keeps ignoring you just because you are a foreigner and when you ask him he just disappears😂
Japan feels like a MMORPG for me nowadays
So many monster..... Thank you for sharing all the tips to defeat the monster Sora sensei! 🙏🙏
America: The Joker
Japan: The Giggolarosu
そうだけどね一番怖い人は明らかにソラさん。
I wanna see Sora explore abandoned/haunted place and do a livestream
I have just been back from Japan, traveled to different prefectures and the furthest I went was Sapporo (north) and Ishikawa (west of Tokyo), and I only met the Fast Speaker (when I spoke in Japanese to the best of my ability) and the Phone Enjoyer (there were hundreds of them!)
I’ve always known these personalities in my years of living in Japan, but now they have a name. Thank you.
The giggler creeps me out the most, I can’t figure out what the fuck is so funny to them 😅
Too much drugs I think.
Honestly, some of them are kind of wholesome as they are just curious, friendly and willing to help or kind of insecure.
Another episode of sora bizzare adventure 😂
I enjoy these types of videos. Keep it up Sora!
A very exciting episode on the japanese monster compendium by National Soragraphic.
I think I've learned a lot today. I didn't know some of these existed.
I've almost thought about just going to Japan and--what a lifesaver this is going to be.
Thanks for this information, now I can sleep easily 😴💯
This is awesome! I cant wait for my trip to Japan and experience this lmao
When someone stared incessantly at me on a Japanese train, I used to wink at them and pat the seat next to me. The trick is to out-creep the creep.
Only 3 days until my trip to Japan and now I have to prepare for monsters? Okinawa better be a beginner-friendly area.
I would add the 日本はながいですか？People who once they realize you actually live here ask: how long have you lived in Japan and once you answer go completely silent and it becomes awkward...
I think the greeting kids are endeering.
Quite lots of new videos recently. Nice work, Sora
Learning from your video, on when the day I do go to Japan, thanks 👍
Sora is probably a mixture of all of them. Including the foreigner.
3:08 you look like a fish
Yooooo I found it
@@ZyoriSenpai-ku1wc me too
@@ZyoriSenpai-ku1wc same lol
Best roast 2023
comedic gold right here
Is The Apologizer from that Junji Ito story? hehehehehe
I'm an ALT at a middle school, the second some of the students see you have blue eyes they'll stare directly into your soul for about 20 seconds without blinking.
I dunno, I've met a lot of obsessive apologizers in my life and I've never been to Japan. I've even tried to make a habit of using "thank you" phrases instead of "I'm sorry" phrases in my own life to reduce excessive and unnecessary apologizing.
So are the viewers all now canon characters in the Sora verse 🤔
the apologizer is ready to go to Canada :P
This is amazing. :D Very well done. :>
Yeah this is spot on! Lots of the phone types and silent types and starers 😂
