Wow are you really non-Japanese? As a Japanese,it’s truly “stereotypes of prefectures though by Japanese”. I’m really thank you to make this kind meme clips about Japanese prefectures! You made my day.
It says in the description "Special thanks to all the people who helped in the realization!", so I guess he had some help from locals, otherwise he couldn't make these videos for all kinds of countries. Which is a good thing, I live in a European country close to Italy that was probably made before did it so professional and it shows, more googled stereotypes and just bland stuff instead of more intricate portrayals. If he is reading this comment please redo some older ones, I love them usually but the one about my country made me question them, would love to see a better version I can enjoy. Anyway this comment got kinda long but good to see he is doing it better and asks the people living there now.
Some context for these prefectures for those wondering: - A dinosaur was chosen for Fukui because of the Kitadani Dinosaur Quarry within the city limits of Katsuyama which has yielded animals such as the Fukuiraptor, Fukuisaurus, Nipponosaurus, Koshisaurus, Fukuivenator, Fukuititan and Tambatitanis. - A Brazilian was chosen for Gunma because in the town of Ōizumi within Gunma, twenty percent of the population are foreigners, mostly Brazilians who work in the local factories. - There is a statue of Luffy in Kumamoto because Kumamoto is the birthplace of One Piece's creator Eiichiro Oda. He was born there in 1975 and at the age of four he resolved to become a manga artist in order to avoid having to get a "real job". - Ehime grows a lot of mikan or mandarin oranges. The reason for the high yields is said to be that "it has three suns". The first is the sun that shines in the southern sky, the second is the sun that's reflected off the sea, and the third is the sun that's reflected off the stone walls up on the mountains!
@@Yet.Another.Rapper.KiG.V2 Sorry for the Google translation. Miyazaki Prefecture is very economically unstable and there are few major companies, so salaries tend to be low overall. In addition, there are fewer entertainment facilities and convenience stores compared to other prefectures, making it very inconvenient. There are many other reasons why the number of suicides is one of the highest in the country. In other words, it's a matter of very low happiness.
holy shit the tourist wearing full hiking gear for ishikawa is SO ACCURATE!!?!?!?!??! WHYYYY??? do so many rando foreigners in like fucking downtown Kanazawa feel the need to be dressed like that? Why you gotta be in full gore-tex to get a coffee in the starbucks in Korinbo? Out here with a full ALICE pack just to gawp at Higashi Chaya for 20 minutes? damn
I stayed in Niigata for 3 years, but in the countryside. So my experience are only about staring into the rice fields or walking in heavy snow just for convenience store lol.
I studied abroad in Niigata University for a year. Can confirm %70 of the prefecture is rice fields and %40 of life is trying to survive the snow. Best memories ever though, enjoyed every moment, even not having running water for two days because the water pipes froze solid.
Here's some symbolism for the cool prefectural flags: Aichi - The emblem depicts the rising sun over the waves, symbolizing Aichi's role in overseas development as a prefecture facing the Pacific Ocean as a stylized representation of the characters “あいち” that spell Aichi in Japanese. The name Aichi is said to come from a poem that was composed by the poet Takechi Kurohito and included in the third volume of the Man'yoshu (“Collection of Ten Thousand Leaves”), a famous Japanese poetic anthology. Chiba - The oldest of all prefectural emblems, Chiba's emblem is a combination of katakana チ and ハ to form the shape of nanohana, the prefectural flower. The blue background represents hope and development. Nagano - The katakana ナ (na) is stylized into a bird in flight inside a circle, where the shape of a mountain is reflected like on a lake. The design imagines the progress and development of the prefecture through its nature, and the citizen’ friendship and unity. Tottori - The first kanji of Tottori’s name means “bird” and the flag is styled to show the hiragana と in the shape of a bird, symbolizing freedom, peace and future development of the prefecture.
they're actually lowkey genius mixes of old samurai family crests (where applicable), kanji, English letters, and local popular logos. I'll allow that they sort of look like Japanese corporate logos (just because that's also their design philosophy), but I think they are some pretty brilliant graphic designs overall.

@@TheGreenKnight500Well lots of the Midwest and the Pacific Northwest States in the US is mostly empty with very low populations. I mean the population in the State I live outnumbers the population of the top 10 least populated States combined by 5 million-ish
you wouldn't be able to do it based on the states alone. the culture of north cali is completely different from south. texas is completely different depending on if you're in dallas, austin, houston, or corpus etc. and places like new york are literally different block by block--literally like prefectures in japan. we've got hundreds of subcultures in the US.
Each state has a flag in the US unique to it. There's a town in Germany called Bedheim (merged into Römhild) with a dinosaur as its coat of arms (Liliensternus, for those wondering).
american here, we have state flags, but all they are (a few exceptions exist good job new mexico, you set the standard we should all follow for a good state flag) is a messy bloated coat of arms or mail stamp on various shades of blue. my own state is a dark green (woo washington) but it's ruined by having a hard to see at a distance image of washington (1st president) on it, i always thought it would look better if it had a native american style salmon or orca on it or just a plain white circle. why do they all have to look the bloody same. *dissapointed sigh of a starving artist*

Dear author. If you were trying to say "(Please) subscribe!" at the end, you would not say 「購読する！」. That would mean "I buy and read books!".

@@МихаилКолесников-ц9ь Actually no, though I might have met some of them without knowing. However, there are so many places with names came from those in the Ainu language.
I was considering showing this to my Japanese wife but then Fukushima came up, and then I confirmed my "don't do that" suspicions when I saw Hiroshima.
*When they played Masaki Aiba's song for Chiba and Arashi's for Tokyo :")* How fitting, they are the representatives of Japan without any doubt. Legends.
I like the song chosen for Yamagata. We used to have Japanese fests in Moscow and once it was visited by a team of Hanagasa dancing young people from Yamagata. And that song played during their performance. Both the music and the performance were epic. So, I guess, their Hanagasa song is somehow one of Yamagata's local symbols. "Sono ta, sono taaaaaiyooooo"
@@2yoyoyo1Unplugged it was an amazing experience, but it was a lot of work and preparation, especially for a 16 year old doing it all on their own. i found the organization for exchange trips on my own, wrote seven essays for a scholarship because i couldnt afford the trip even though i had worked the entire previous summer full-time at a job that i despised so i could accrue the funds(parents couldn’t and wouldn’t financially fund me), had to convince the principal of my high school to make a one of a kind exception for me so that i didnt have to take my finals until after i got back because my flight was before the finals week, so that also meant i had to study for my finals while i was in japan. i also had to file for my passport and pay the fee, (though my parents helped me with this and swapping out my usd for yen at the bank). it was nearly a year’s worth of work, and i sacrificed two summers of the 17 i had lived through at that point to make it happen. it was a lot of hoops to jump through, and i prided myself on MAKING the opportunity, because it was NOT fed to me on a silver spoon
For those who don’t know, Fukui has a dinosaur because it has the largest excavation of dinosaur remains in all of Japan. Also the picture in the background is Eiheiji and I highly recommend anyone to visit, it’s incredibly beautiful and peaceful.
As someone who previously lived in Tochigi, yeah. It seems a lot of Chinese people migrated to Tochigi and popularized gyoza in the area, there's a LOT of places that sell gyoza!

Some context for these prefectures for those wondering:

- A Brazilian was chosen for Gunma because in the town of Ōizumi within Gunma, twenty percent of the population are foreigners, mostly Brazilians who work in the local factories.
- There is a statue of Luffy in Kumamoto because Kumamoto is the birthplace of One Piece's creator Eiichiro Oda. He was born there in 1975 and at the age of four he resolved to become a manga artist in order to avoid having to get a "real job".

The first is the sun that shines in the southern sky, the second is the sun that's reflected off the sea, and the third is the sun that's reflected off the stone walls up on the mountains!
Maybe that's why one piece is still continuing, so he can avoid a real job for the rest of his life
Ehime might have 3 suns, but Hiroshima had 2 for a brief period.

I used to live in Yamanashi. The hiking gear made me laugh, I used to have a coworker who would disappear over lunch break and come back with foraged berries he found hiking. Lmao. Also there is an extraordinary amount of vegan restaurants and locally made XYZ there
Damn that sounds like a comfy place
Where did he go hiking? Couldn't have been a mountain that's for sure.
@@Hoppitotwhy so sure? I worked 5 min away from the base of a mountain range. not everywhere in japan is Tokyo my guy
@@hedgehoginasunhat I]d say it would be quite ironic if he found a mountain in yama nashi prefecture
@@HoppitotHAHAHA "yama nashi? but they're everywhere!"
Crazy how such a small peace of land is so different a few miles away.
Japan isn't a small island
thank you for represent our nation and un-glorious prefecture Saitama
many of people from Saitama thinks Saitama is just Tokyo's parasite
I know of it as a place with awesome roads that only true mad lads can race on.
A workmate once showed me a comical picture book, where all the prefectures were drawn as something, based on their shape. Saitama was a booger.
Basically, from my experience, Saitama is kinda like Japan's New Jersey and the Pittsburgh area of Pennsylvania.
Saitama? more like 'A Cup'.
Well, there goes nickname dasaitama 😂
It's cool to learn about the local stereotypes of other countries. God knows US states have too many to keep track of! 😅
Doesnt help that were big as fuck only trumped by what China, Russia, and Canada.
Hell I live in Alaska which is damn hear half of the country lol
I love learning about the other 49 states tho
@@weaselwolf8425 at least Russia is mostly empty, so you don't have to break it into too many regions. India and China on the other hand would take forever
@@TheGreenKnight500China poop oil cooking
@@TheGreenKnight500Well lots of the Midwest and the Pacific Northwest States in the US is mostly empty with very low populations. I mean the population in the State I live outnumbers the population of the top 10 least populated States combined by 5 million-ish
you wouldn't be able to do it based on the states alone. the culture of north cali is completely different from south. texas is completely different depending on if you're in dallas, austin, houston, or corpus etc. and places like new york are literally different block by block--literally like prefectures in japan. we've got hundreds of subcultures in the US.
As an Initial D fan I can confirm that I've been waiting patiently for Gunma just to find out if there'd be an Initial D reference
Don't forget there's the Ibaraki, Tochigi, Saitama and Kandagawa Prefectures too, also Mie is where Suzuka Circuit is located

I like how each prefecture has a symbol, it's really cool. I wish our cities did that.
Maybe they do this or something similar but we just do not know?
In The Netherlands (and Germany as well) we have coat of arms/emblems for every city and province
idk if youre american or not but each state has its own flag
Each state has a flag in the US unique to it.
There's a town in Germany called Bedheim (merged into Römhild) with a dinosaur as its coat of arms (Liliensternus, for those wondering).
american here, we have state flags, but all they are (a few exceptions exist good job new mexico, you set the standard we should all follow for a good state flag) is a messy bloated coat of arms or mail stamp on various shades of blue. my own state is a dark green (woo washington) but it's ruined by having a hard to see at a distance image of washington (1st president) on it, i always thought it would look better if it had a native american style salmon or orca on it or just a plain white circle.
why do they all have to look the bloody same. *dissapointed sigh of a starving artist*
I'm surprised by the lack of Grannies wearing leopard print tshirts in Osaka!
It's real?
no hip hop, no blonde gyaru, no piercings or tattoos. I'm calling shenanigans
I absolutely love the prefecture flags, they manage somehow to have a modern minimalist look without becoming corporate logos. Truly Zen-grade design

2:27 The song "the World" is by the visual-kei band Nightmare which was formed in Sendai, Miyagi

Dear author. If you were trying to say "(Please) subscribe!" at the end, you would not say 「購読する！」. That would mean "I buy and read books!". In the context of TH-cam, Japanese youtubers use the word 「登録」meaning "to register". So, if you want to tell the viewers to subscribe, you should say: 「登録して！」 (touroku shite)
Wow どうも ❤
I love how simple flags of prefectures are. Just like some brand marks, without unnecessary details.
Pleasantly surprised for Arashi's Love so Sweet in Tokyo
I’m noticing that most of these boil down to:

2.Old people and ancient architecture
3. Weeaboo/Westerner hotspots (basically every major city)
4. Empty farmland with Ghibli tier visuals

Have you met the Ainu?
@@МихаилКолесников-ц9ь Actually no, though I might have met some of them without knowing.

How fitting, they are the representatives of Japan without any doubt. Legends.
I live in Japan and this is scarily accurate. The 80's city pop in Miyazaki, spot on! And LOL @ Christian Chad in Nagasaki
I like the song chosen for Yamagata. We used to have Japanese fests in Moscow and once it was visited by a team of Hanagasa dancing young people from Yamagata. And that song played during their performance. Both the music and the performance were epic. So, I guess, their Hanagasa song is somehow one of Yamagata's local symbols.
"Sono ta, sono taaaaaiyooooo"
These videos take a good amount of effort. I love the art, honestly counts as modern art and should be displayed in a museum
This could never be made without a love and respect to all these regions.
Phenomenal work.
I loved how diverse were the japanese songs in these videos tbh

I am so jealous of people who had opportunities to go to Japan on business or for education.
@@2yoyoyo1Unplugged it was an amazing experience, but it was a lot of work and preparation, especially for a 16 year old doing it all on their own. i found the organization for exchange trips on my own, wrote seven essays for a scholarship because i couldnt afford the trip even though i had worked the entire previous summer full-time at a job that i despised so i could accrue the funds(parents couldn’t and wouldn’t financially fund me), had to convince the principal of my high school to make a one of a kind exception for me so that i didnt have to take my finals until after i got back because my flight was before the finals week, so that also meant i had to study for my finals while i was in japan. i also had to file for my passport and pay the fee, (though my parents helped me with this and swapping out my usd for yen at the bank). it was nearly a year’s worth of work, and i sacrificed two summers of the 17 i had lived through at that point to make it happen. it was a lot of hoops to jump through, and i prided myself on MAKING the opportunity, because it was NOT fed to me on a silver spoon

For those who don’t know, Fukui has a dinosaur because it has the largest excavation of dinosaur remains in all of Japan. Also the picture in the background is Eiheiji and I highly recommend anyone to visit, it’s incredibly beautiful and peaceful.
It's like very different countries within one not so big country. Japanese South and North prefectures are wildly different.

Tochigi is where gyoza comes from. Strangely well done.
As someone who previously lived in Tochigi, yeah. It seems a lot of Chinese people migrated to Tochigi and popularized gyoza in the area, there's a LOT of places that sell gyoza!
Tochigi was particularly on point with the gyozas XD
