I know the title might be a bit harsh. But I think Japan had enough of these foreigners 😫
Trash Taste podcast released a video regarding it today also lol
There is no excuse for their behavior. Their selfish and think that creating drama will get them views, likes, and money. While this may be partly true it infuriates me as a Westerner myself, that they are giving all Westerners a bad name with their antics. Even I am very direct for an American and I can gurantee if I saw them do this in person I would directly introduce my fist into their face even though I'm not normaly a violent person. Thx for the videos Asagi! love them lots! :)
On my Last trip to Japan, Hotel or Restaurant Staff members always had eyes on me. These "Pranks" make it hard for us Foreigners who just want a nice Holiday. 😥
This foreigner also believes foreigners like them need to get the hell out of 日本！😅
Good call, I hope Korea also doesn't have to learn the hard way from these "american rejects".
They're not "creators" of any kind. They are grifters who wouldn't get away with this behaviour in their own countries. They should be treated with the same contempt as they treat others.
exactly, these corn balls know damn well they would get their asses handed to them here. It's pathetic, like worse than a bully because you know they wouldn't pull that on someone their size.
@@GivebackthescarfI disagree. they are no more "creators" than someone going to the toilet. In the sense that everything humans make can be labelled as a creation, then we are all creators. But it's just meaningless pretension. Gifting by any other name (eg creating) is still grifting. Playing with words to elevate the mundane, and give credibility to bullshit and trash, is itself bullshit and trash.
They've would've been shot in America.
@@MissionSilo america just means higher barrier of entry. If your charisma is different like that, you can do it in America too. The charisma has to be much higher though. You gotta be able to rizz up cops, southerners, midwesterners, soldiers, and more. That's how you do it though.
@@MissionSilo some have been.
Your title and the video are absolutely true and on point. Every foreigner who respects and likes Japan agrees with you. Those public nuisance streamers should be banned from entering Japan. The peaceful Japanese Lifestyle shouldn´t be interrupted like that. Thank you for your amazing content 🙏
Simp harder jesus lol
@@ClickDecision oh you are still here
@@AsagisLifeNoBSJapan 時々
Watashiwa Porandojin desu. Each single country should have a policy that doesn't allow foreigners to make up more than 1-2% of the country's population. Especially of other race, culture, religion etc. Otherwise you are going to ruin your country. When I come to Japan I want to see Japan and Japanese people and not feel like in any western country that resembles USA. A melting pot made of immigrants from all around the world, where you can't see Native Americans in media, or politics. Much talks about first black president, or woman president. No one talks about real Americans. They know they lost their land. So they live in their reservations and don't take a stance. Let foreigners drown in the sewer of their own making.
As a side note. I have to live by my rules, so I can't move to Japan and look for a Japanese wife. Japanese women have some magic around them. I only hope I will reincarnate into Japanese for another lifetime.
Japan is a great place to travel as a foreigner, and a large part of that is the general kindness of Japanese people. To see that kindness abused like these guys have is really infuriating.
jip
You don't go to a country, then make fun of it's people for your amusement! You go to their country, you respect their laws and you respect their people! Thanks for bringing it up Asagi! People like that need to learn respect...... especially towards Japanese people!
I agree.
Tell that to the people entering Europe. They literally celebrate white people becoming a minority.
@@beastvicious8672 i think u should be holding your own government responsible for this
@@rabbitazteca23 I do. They should be more like Japan. Japan is about 98% japanese and the last 2% are other asians. Europe should do the same.
@@beastvicious8672 how did europe and america become so diverse? Isn't it what they wanted? Then they should stop letting immigrants in
I'm really sorry Japan has to deal with these people. I really love Japan, and just spent 3 weeks vacation in southern Japan back in September. I have nothing but respect for the Japanese people, and I really hope that was the experience I conveyed when I was there. I hope to be able to live and work in Japan at some point just for a short period of time, so I can get to experience that side of Japan as well. Thank you Asagi for your always excellent content, and please continue to share it with us in the future.❤
Thanks for the love
WOW! Were you in Okinawa? My friend Noriko is from there.
I want to go there myself. Its warm and beautiful!
@@michaelrmurphy2734 I didn't go to Okinawa this time, but it's definitely a place I want to visit. 👍
ありがとうございます！💕
One of the worst thing a person can do is abuse someone's good nature. And when I was in Japan back in May, everyone was super nice and kind -- it made me want to be a better person (I like to match the energy of the people around me). When you are a guest in another country, I was taught to be on your best behavior; it's the guest's responsibility.
Naturally, you’re representing your country, and fellow “look-a-likes”
@@Tainami_ which makes me even more angry.
I'm from America, and I'm trying to learn Japanese and learn more about Japanese culture. I want to visit Japan someday and to see content like what those content creators did sickens me and angers me to no end. I love your content, thank you. It really helps
I heard a foreigner from iceland punched a taxi driver in Japan and didn't pay.
And Japan, apparently, is easing on rules for foreign residents from what I've heard.
This only entices these people to slowly bring out their behavior and culture no problem.
Never heard of that. That's disgusting
Every culture also needs its own conviction to antifragility, you can't just say there are rules and rely on some honor system and pinky promises, that people will be "good foreigners" or good residents for that matter.
The success of civic states comes from targeting the problem at root and causing an environment where the fungus doesn't grow to beign with. America exposes its poor system when it lashes out against these outgrowths of their own, careless standards.
Japan is now adopting the same kind of mentality, like blaming police for ticketing "understandable" little traffic violations. That only creates a smug culture, where one person might wave a car to go by against traffic laws, and then at the next corner the car runs over a pedestrian who WAS in the blind spot. That kind of attitude is everywhere in USA, nobody understands they're a criminal because everyone has their excuses... and SCAPEGOATS: that's WHY these awful channels are popular. Not by accident or unfairness, it's because the self-righteous viewers are participating in a cycle of mockery that feeds itself.
The correct thing, the powerful thing to do, is to be self-assured in what YOU do. If you're Japanese and choose to be ethical, you can be truly tolerant of those who choose not to, but it's always a tradeoff to make, you need to collect their debts elsewhere. You can't suddenly become the parent of poorly raised people, so don't even try, understand that they are like animals out of their zoo. The deer at Nara Park are not a threat to the Japanese, and so shouldn't foreigners be either.
What, did the taxi driver do something to him? Still sucks to be the driver, but it would be nice to get some context.
@@userxl41drn301 he took the taxi, and didn't pay 23 bucks. then punched the driver and walked away.
日本に住んでしっかりしている外国の方の気持ちを理解してくれまして誠にありがとうございます。日本の文化を愛している外国人としては非常に恥ずかしく思います。
この数人の迷惑の方の影響で様々なところが厳しくなっております。
この調子で様々な場所、体験などを楽しめなくなりますため、非常に悲しくに思います。
日本人の優しさを利用しわざと迷惑を行う方はしっかり罰を受けるべきです。
色々考えましたが、これという解決方法はなかなか見つかりませんでしたが、この問題を解決するためできることがあれば喜んでちからになりたいです。
As a guy from 🇩🇰 Denmark who have not visited Japan yet.
I’m really disgusted yet so angry and sad about idiots like Johnny Somali and Fidias causing trouble and huge stupidity in Japan.
You just don’t disrespect the people, the culture and the country you’re visiting to. That’ll make some foreigners look bad in general, not only in Japan but anywhere also.
And good video by the way.
Love and respect from (🇩🇰) Denmark. Peace! ✌️
Very sorry to see this happening in a country as wonderful as Japan. As a Nepalese currently in US I want to let all the Japanese people know that most of the people outside Japan don't look down upon Japan. We do not feel Japanese people are inferior to anyone, rather feel encouraged and inspired by their resilient nature toward adversities like WWII and natural calamities. I for one have the utmost respect for the country and it's people for helping shape my childhood with anime. Even though I've never visited Japan it has always been my top destination to visit and I'm sure there are many others who have Japan on their bucket list.
Bro most people hate Japan because of WW2 lol
@@rizkiramadhan9266 I didn’t know there were 100+ year old WW2 veterans in the comment section.
@@52Tele lmaooo
No no these "bucket lists" must go away with the covid vacks fraud
The disrespect these people show other is unbelievable, I hope the law makes examples out of them so it discourages other people following in their foot steps
Oh god. Johnny Somali. He needs to be held accountable from social media.
He's in jail now
@@falconeshield ik lol
As a foreigner, especially with that Logan Paul crap, I honestly feel embarrassed hearing about "pranksters" streaming and being nuisances in places like Japan, Thailand, Vietnam etc... Because it also paints the rest of us that genuinely want to travel to those places in a bad light... (Though I dislike Logan Paul solely due to him being a straight up fool)
As a foreigner, I think I speak for the vast majority of us in that we do not claim these people.
It’s like looking at a beautiful painting, then throwing paint on it. It does no good for anything or anybody. You guys are doing your part. I applaud you
I recently visited Japan, and absolutly love the people, culture and country. In every respect, I made a point of being as polite as possible and read the air. CZcamsrs that come in like the two mentioned in your video should not be allowed back, when visiting someone elses home or country, be as polite and follow the rules, and remember this is the Japanese peoples home, so be respectful. I only hope appropriate action will be followed up with both of them. In every interaction with I had in the country, was a cherished memory and Japan is truely unique and has so much to be proud for.
Something I find very interesting is that these 2 people that you're talking about in your video that's how most people act in the United States and people might say something about it but over all it's accepted.
But a person like myself I normally keep to myself and don't bother people and that's normally Seen as not okay in the United States but when I was in Japan for quite a while I was very much accepted because I wasn't being announced a nuisance and getting in the way.
American culture has degenerated into utter shit. That's the reality we're not ready to discuss. It's not even a matter of opinion anymore
This kind of behavior accepted in US ? 😂 Johnny Somali would have been in the hospital or dead by now in US 😂 he came to Japan because japanese people don't fight back 😂 he wouldn't dare to do this kind of shit in US or he would get really hurt 😂 same with european countries 😂
My younger brother, six feet tall and blond hair spent two years in Japan, learned the language. He brought home his love for the people. He died a few years ago but I credit my affection for you all in part to him. Peace.
Well just speaking from my part of the world here in Chicago, the people I interact with both in person or online either don't know much about Japan, or like my wife and I really love Japanese people! It is so refreshing to see the respect you have for others. When I visited a few years ago, I was very impressed by how friendly and helpful Japanese people were, even in high tourist areas. I hope to visit again some day! (Oh - and you have the best music in the world right now!)
Is Kevin a fan of BABYMETAL?
@@RoosterIB Not really, but my favorite band right now is Band-Maid. They are awesome! Also really like Gacharic Spin, Glim Spanky and on the jazz/funk side Hiromi and anything with Senri Kawaguchi on drums. And that's just scratching the surface.
@@Kevin6059
Yoo that's what's up. I feel the same way with BAND-MAID. Another band I really like is sokoninaru 🤘🎶
I'm gonna be checking out Senri Kawaguchi, never heard of her. Oh she's the drummer of The Jazz Avengers, I didn't know she had her own stuff... WOW her personal albums are sick!
@@danielduarte6802 I'll check out your recommendation too!
Man its people like this that make me worried about visiting Japan. I still have yet to come to Japan (that's likely happening the year after next) but people like these streamers make me afraid that japan will ban foreigners from visiting. So the lesson here is even if you are traveling treat others with respect or else.
Japan's not going to do that. They'd be crazy to block money from other countries. Kyoto would go bankrupt without tourism.
@@NotAnInternetTroll I agree. The Japanese are pretty nuanced tbh. All this clout-chasing bullshit really started after platforms like TicTac and Kick became popular, and once Gen Z's (Not all, obviously) started to learn about the passive and non-confrontational culture of East Asian countries for what seems like the first time.
People like Tom Green was being an ass in Japan back in the 90's and early-2000s, so Gen X's and Millenials already got a taste of what a person disrespecting those cultures looks like, but that obviously doesn't excuse Somali and Fedias or whatever his name is.
To Japanese people in particular, I would suggest that non-confrontation and politeness is great and is a skill sorely missing in the West, but there is a time and a place where it should be okay to confront others. Like if some idiot was harassing and bullying your kid in a public place, or a loudmouthed, aggresssive asshole was bugging paying customers that payed to sit, relax, and eat in a restaurant and not have their faces plastered on the internet. If this was pre-Americanized Japan, I think someone would definitely have something to say to Somali and his ilk.
EDIT: I realize that, in all honesty, confrontation rarely works on those that actively seek it out, like Jimmy Somali does, but it should be acceptable for a Japanese person to confront such idiots if they're harassing someone, THEN call the cops (tbh some guys did confront Somali in Japan, but they were kind of "on the periphery", liike the Yakuza).
Thank you for commenting on those of us living in Japan. I've been living here for going on 9 years, and it's really rage-inducing to see these streamers coming to Japan as tourists, causing lots of trouble, and giving foreigners in general a bad name. I just want a quiet and peaceful life, and don't want to cause trouble for those around me and I hate to think that people will see this and consider that that's possibly what I'm doing in Japan, etc.
These people are the absolute worst. I hate what the world has become after this social media mess. The disrespect is so aggravating.
Also-you made an interesting point about this sort of lingering sense of inferiority after losing the war. It kind of makes me sad to hear that because Japan was such a strong & formidable opponent in battle. Fierce & unrelenting all the way through. That should never be forgotten-especially by those that go there & bully people for stream views.
It's like if I invite someone to my house and they proceed to insult me in my own home and trash the place. That they would be told to leave would be the most polite outcome of that.
It does feel like these specific guys are puling these stunts because they're visiting Japan and think they can get away with it. In America, it's not always the case. I recently heard about a prankster CZcamsr in America who livestreamed himself harassing random people at a mall and got shot for it (he survived).
I'm not sure how likely it is that I'll ever visit Japan, due to the cost of traveling, but as someone who'd like to come one day, this kind of stuff really pisses me off.
Please don't judge us all by these kinds of people. I understand that it doesn't help with the perception of foreigners or tourists visiting Japan. But most of us are not like this. I myself have been watching many videis on Japan and the culture and how to behave and respect the people and culture of Japan
Obviously I am talking about some Japanese people who don't haven't encountered foreigners... might think that way.
Well, something I think is really telling about all of this, is that you hardly ever see the reverse; where are the Japanese streamers going to other countries and causing problems like this? The answer is, they don't exist, because Japanese people _don't_ go to other peoples' countries and act like absolute fools. Furthermore, if a Japanese person tried to act this way _in Japan_ , they would get in big trouble. The rules for foreigners, as far as I am aware, are a lot more lax than the rules for native Japanese people, because Japanese people expect that their own people would know how to behave, but they're aware that foreigners haven't grown up in that culture, so they basically give foreigners more slack when it comes to following the rules and being a good citizen, and even then, we still produce people who somehow manage to sink below those low expectations. If Japan let fewer foreigners in, or were more strict with foreigners that are there, this wouldn't be as much of a problem, but bad people are taking advantage of Japan's generosity.
I often watch videos about tourists that Japan does not like. "Car enthusiast" never makes that list, so I think I would do okay. Watching these kinds of videos explained that everyone must be quiet while on a train, not doing so really does annoy the locals.
It makes me so angry that those clowns can disrespect Japan like that! I love Japan and I would cherish every moment of being there when i go.
When I was in Tokyo recently, I did everything I could to be a good foreigner: I picked up any trash I saw on the ground and carried it until I found a place to throw it away properly. When I saw extremely elderly people trying to cross the street I walked with them until they were safely out of traffic, and I offered to carry heavy things when people seemed to need help like carrying a woman's bicycle up the stairs. I gave omiyage (snacks) to random people, and especially to staff members where I would normally give a monetary tip in America. On the trains, I always stood up and gave my seat to women or children who were left without a place to sit. When I wanted to eat or drink, I stopped somewhere out of traffic to do so and never ate or drank on the trains. I didn't wear cologne of strong smelling body spray, and I was quiet on the trains and stepped out of shops to conduct a phone call. Unfortunately, I never bothered to record myself to put it on CZcams whenever I was kind and courteous 🤔.
The weird thing is, you never do this sort of thing when you're home...
I do. America needs more nice ppl and I wanted to contribute to that since that’s how I am .
@@MagikGimp So, you are advocating that they act like they are in their own home when they come to yours? Be careful what you wish for. If you come to my home as a guest you are subject to my rules, if you don't like the rules find somewhere else.
As long as this is done everywhere and not just “because it’s Japan” then I respect you! Otherwise you’re just a hypocrite.
Unfortunately few weeks ago in Tokio I didn't feel the extreme kindness I experienced five years ago. I felt many of them are pretty much fed up with foreigners/tourists. I only felt that in Tokio though.
Hahaha …. Johnny Somali tried to prank a Yakuza construction site , ( he f*cked around and found out )…
Fantastic video!!! I am so happy that you are standing up for your people, your culture, and your family.
I am a Social Anthropologist from the United States and I love to visit Japan and South Korea, just to walk the streets and eat in family owned restaurants down an ally. I eat only the local cuisine, attempt to speak the language, and make a good effort to abide by the honorifics. My least favorite attraction in Japan is the Sky Tree, because it attracts very rude American, Canadian and British tourists, whose behavior sickens me. On one occasion I spent more than an hour helping the locals clean up Kamakura beach after rude foreigners trashed it. I am especially conscious of the many Buddhist Temples and Shinto Shrines. Tourists need to understand that while such sites are beautiful, they are spiritually active, and we should practice some restraint when talking and taking photos.
My advise to foreigners; it isn't your country. You are allowed to exit the airport because of the kindness of the nationals. It is their home, their culture, their life. You have no stake in it. If you can't respect the people there, don't visit. Stay home and treat your own neighbors rudely.
I couldn't agree with you more! I am British, and when I see Westerners (albeit only a small minority) disrespecting Japan and the Japanese people, and treating the country like their own personal theme park... It makes my blood boil! I LOVE so much about Japan, and I learn new things to love about it every day. I am planning a trip in the Spring and I honesty cannot wait.
I don't pretend to be an expert, and although I am doing my best to learn, I am sure to make mistakes while I am there... but I certainly wont disrespect anyone, or take advantage of another culture for my own amusement.. I want to try to be as Japanese as a white, western, bearded and blue eyed, kind of Viking looking guy can be.. in that I want to experience Japan and it's culture, and in so doing be an ambassador. It is only a small minority of idiots that do these things, but it reflects badly on the rest of us. I will strive to be a better example.
I also kind of feel that those stupid mario kart races around Tokyo aren't really helping either. I can't recall the word for it right now, but I believe there is Japanese concept of not bothering others.. As in, everyone has their own tasks to do, they're all important and all contribute, so don't needlessly get in the way of others.. Well, the company running that mario kart thing, along with these foreign criminals, seemingly missed that lesson.
Japan isn't perfect, it has it's own problems. However, it does seem as though they managed to avoid quite a few problems that we in the West have, purely as an artefact of their cultural values.. Westerners would do well to learn from that, not contaminate it.
I think you both stated and covered everything honestly! it is truly a shame that a few can mess it up for all!
Hilarious title 🤣🤣🤣
Second video of yours I am watching but I am seated!
I was in Osaka in 1995-1996. Beautiful city. It’s a shame those foreigners don’t show respect and admiration for Japan and it’s culture. I did not meet a rude Japanese person the whole time I was there and received a smile and laugh when I used my very bad Japanese.
I hear ya, Asagi. These CZcamsrs that are assholes on purpose, I've never liked that.
Of course, this was going on long before the internet. Stunts and practical jokes were
done on TV in the past. To get people to watch for ratings. Content like yours is what
I like from Japan. And Yuka and Lemi and Emi and Daniel and Yuka and Cathy Cat!
The Japanese tend to be very polite and sometimes overly so, and this works against them when dealing with this type of westerner, since they would get kicked in the behind in our countries if these guys did this, but in Japan they can take advantage of their politeness to make videos about how shocked or confused Japanese people are by the clown's actions because they can use their politeness as "content" for youtube views.
Asagi-san I agree with every point you & Justin made, especially the one about the guilt of the viewers that these cretins have. These YoiTube criminals harassing people are bullies and bullies always need an audience. Their audience should share the guilt for their crimes. I also like what your baby said: brief and to the point! 👋🏼🇨🇦
The fact that these content-creators (too strong a name…) punk foreigners spike up this kind of trend is both disturbing and distressing. I have studied Japan for over ten years and TRUST has always been a vital aspect in harboring a relationship with the people and culture. I’m finally thinking seriously about returning to Japan only this time for a couple years. I just want to make a good impact while I’m there and if I saw something like this unfold, people getting harassed, I would think through the best approach with self-control and self-conduct. But even then…I have to understand how people want to be helped, and how I would be perceived. It’s a lot to think critically about.
I love Japan! I love the culture, the people, and oh do I love the music! I am ashamed of this Western behavior and I always encourage people that I know to be more respectful of other countries cultures and more enthusiastic about learning what makes them special. Thank you for your insight and your understanding for those of us that are honored by our love and respect for one another.
I visited Japan in 2018, loved it. Rented a bicycle and rode around Tokyo for hours, what a clean and beautiful place. Japanese were extremely polite and way more civilized than people in New York where I live. Long Island where I live is dirty because people throw cigarettes and fast food garbage bags straight out their car window. In Japan people wait till others exit the train completely before they enter, good luck getting people to not behave like stampeding animals here. Can't blame you for feeling the way you do about foreigners who behave poorly, I totally agree with you.
great video asagi! All your points are valid. get em outta there. No one should have to deal with their BS
When I first went to Japan to teach English and study Japanese culture there wasn't many foreigners and foreigners were very respectful.
I'm sorry for what they've been doing over there. The one (that Johnny guy) is over here as an Ethiopian refugee. It's disgusting he'd then go abroad, insult our allies and friends and also ourselves as we opened a door to offer him a peaceful life and he chose to act like that and give us all bad names.
He's got a reckoning coming when he does come back, and he'll not be very happy when it comes.
I don't think you seem salty, and I agree with both of you. I would also venture to say that the people who act like that and the people who donate to them are precisely most vacationers are trying to get away from... Thank you for making and sharing your videos!
Don't worry, we've had enough of them too! Johnny Somali does NOT represent the rest of us who are black and want to experience Japan the legal way.
As a black man. I second this!
He's an American East African so he's from an immigrant family not the Black American ethnicity so not the same as the vast majority of Black people in America
Your comment about how, "this would not happen in China" is 100% correct, and reveals much about both the cowardice of these trashy individuals, and more importantly, the beautiful culture of harmonious trust within Japanese society. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and may Japan forever keep their culture unique to the world ❤
It wouldn’t happen in their home country either tbh. Johnny Somali or Logan Paul are morons, but they know better not to act like this in South Central LA or Baltimore cause they know the consequences could be potentially fatal lol.
The Johnny Somali guy said he planned on going to China. I was wishing he would have.
Unfortunately social media and CZcams/Twitch/Kick has all helped push these guys to do bad things. I think there should be stricter rules about filming things over there. Maybe even a ban of streaming inside restaurants and other public shops.
I've been living, working and studying out here in Saitama for a bit over a year now. Honestly I love this country and have had nothing but positive experiences. I have been to Japan before multiple times as a tourist previously to living out here but it starts with giving respect then getting respect. You and channels like yours that share insight on Japanese culture along with advice are valuable so even though it is frustrating to see reaction channels get clicks don't lose your motivation.
I totally agree with you Asagi. I’m half Japanese and have been fortunate to spend many summer breaks with my family in the Tokyo area. It’s upsetting to think that these bad actors could be harassing my family (or harassing anyone). Thank you for making this post.
I don't get how these folks can just not be riddled with shame and embarrassment. This is how the world knows them. Their behavior will follow them through their lives.
I hope the japanese people know that some youtubers are very respectful. Some are showing us the beautiful places in Japan or how to show good manners - for example saying "ありがとうございます" and not only "ありがとう". I was in Japan in september and it was wonderful.
Are you saying that if a Japanese tourist in the U.S. says "thank you" to a waiter instead of "thank you so very, very much", then they're not being polite? These things are usually picked up from living in that place for a while.
Good manners are not acting like Johnny Somali in the middle of Tokyo; excellent manners are thanking the locals in their native language while getting across the native nuance of said language.
@@userxl41drn301 Hi, I don't know the manners in U.S. but I've learned that you are using 'arigatou' only If you knew the person. If you don't know the person 'arigatou gozaimasu' is polite. That is an example I've learned by the 'nice' youtubers. And every japanese person I had contact to used this phrase.
As an American who loves Japan, I completely agree.
A lot of us have been saying around the same things regarding foreigners from the West(mainly).
I think those like Johnny Somali and other nuisances should be banned.
I hope y’all have a wonderful and blessed week.
What a wonderful photo of you and Justin! Do you have any others?
Dear Asagi,
it is not just Japan. It is in the whole world like this.
So to all reading this, here is the Golden Rule.
"If you visit a foreign country, then BEHAVE!!!"
You are a guest there, and your behavior reflects back on your entire country! You must think yourselves as ambassadors, just without all the rights and privileges.
And if you cannot behave, then I hope you get deported as "Persona Non Grata".
As a South Korean, one thing I love about Japan is their conservative. They know how to protect their culture very well. And they oppose immigration. Keep it up, Asagi. ❤
Korea should oppose immigration too like other Asian countries
To be honest I agree with the name of this video. Japan is my dream country to go to, I love their history, culture, language, and literature. I am kind of worried about going now just because people like this give foreigners a bad name. I loved the video!
When I, an American, traveled to Japan a couple of times, along with neighboring nations a few years back, I arrived with the words "don't make waves" in my head. I had a pleasant time and retain many fond memories.
Thank you Asagi chan for saying what I wanted to say about this 'Meiwaku Gaikokujin(foreigners who cause troubles in Japan) 💦Once I saw someone foreigner skateboarding on the train(he moved so fast, I couldn't stop him). I was very upset about him taking the advantage of quiet passengers.😔
By the way, I love you speaking Japanese😊👍💕
Thanks Lemi chan. I said what I had to say. Skateboarding on the train sounds too much 😒 that's a basic manner they should know...
If I ever saw one of them doing this while visiting, id intervene and stop them 🤷.
Oh? What would you do? We can't even save our own culture. How are we going to save another culture on their behalf
@@JJ-si4qh maybe you should re read my answer? Or are you just that ignorant
@@8145dwerdna oh he just plan ignorant, and he literally showing it on his profile.
Wow!!! If these people are going to be mean twards people from a different country than them, they defenently should be banned from that country (the country they are visiting)
20-25 years ago British people discovered Estern Europe. They came, to my country (Lithuania) saw a low prices, polite people, and started to behave like pigs: drinking evrywhere, being loud, arrogant and even pissing on our Parliament's walls! Thinking that in case of trouble they can solve any problem whith money. But when some get arrested... others received punches in their face... and magicaly probems stoped. Today we still have many tourists from west, but no more local complaints. Ačiū. Arigatou.
Well done! Never ever give the Anglos a chance to ruin your country.
Your title is absolute right. In the video you point out your statements which I agree totally. As a person from the Netherlands this type of behaviour foreign people creating content is unacceptable. They should not only banned from Japan but also getting huge fine as a result of their consequences. If people go to Japan they should follow the rules and respect them. Respecting the rules is respecting the people and culture. Asagi you did a great job for explaining and showing your viewpoint on this unacceptable behaviour of foreign people. Keep up the good work.
Agreed. I can't stand when ANY tourists harass people, and deface monuments or sacred places in countries not their own. I am sorry Japan had to endure people like that. They should never have been allowed on an airplane, nor given passports. In fact, they should have their passports revoked, and their streaming platforms should ban them. Their self-righteous entitlement reflects badly on the western civilized world. You are free to have them arrested if they ever manage to come back.
Interest idea about the platforms. Maybe the Japanese government can file a civil suit against them. There's a liability there with these guys continuing to stream their crimes even after being caught.
@@jefffromchicago6321 Why? These guys would cause trouble anywhere they go and not get shit for it. Japan has the balls to arrest and/or deport Johnny Somali and others for pulling stunts like trespassing and slander. Plus, they help the local police by collecting their own evidence for them on their phones, so they're really just getting the justice that they deserve and probably wouldn't get since countries like the U.S. don't even arrest people for shoplifting anymore, and Fedias hopefully will get caught for eating a hotel buffet on someone else's dime (I f*cking hated his stream where he shovels as much food as quickly into his gob with the guiltiest look of a pussy that knows it might get caught).
i always dream of going to Japan someday and trying all the cool things it has to offer but because of bad foreigners there i might have a hard time...
Imagine if an American said “these foreigners in America should go home” 💀 it’d be WWIII
Hi! This is the first time I comment on your videos I think. I’m a casual viewer of your channel. I am Swedish so I would be a foreigner in your country. I’ve been fascinated by Japan for a long time and would love to go there one day. But I would never dream of disrespecting and upsetting anyone like these guys do! I do not know all aspects of Japanese culture and it might happen that I step on someone’s toe by mistake, but never in the way these guys do on purpose. You’re absolutely right in saying you don’t welcome this behavior and disrespect from foreigners minding your own business in the streets and every day life. I’m not easily offended and some kind of honest criticism I think anyone should be able to hear and take but this mockery is on a completely other level. I’m with you here.
Johnnie Somali is an embarrassment to most of America. He is in need of some tough love. Where better to get it than in a Japanese prison? Surely America would pay for the cost of his incarceration..🙏🏻
The only reason I haven't visited Japan yet is because I want to prepare as much as possible, so I don't look like a fool in front of the locals. These guys don't have that problem. It's kind of annoying.
This is why my mom told me to say I'm Mexican instead of American 😂😢
ぼくアメリカに住んでいるハーフなので、夏になると2ヶ月帰るの。（母は日本で生まれ育った）父はアメリカで生まれ育った白人なんだけど日本に一緒に帰るとこんなことしません。本当にありえない。この悪い外人を見ると自分が住んでる国がはずかしい。（ごめん、単語あんまり知らないので言葉の使い方間違いてるかもしれません）
Even though Japanese people are usually quiet and pacific, Johhny Somali got assaulted lots of times in live stream on the streets of Japan by Japanese people. Imagine how rude and disrespectful used to be to be assaulted by Japanese on the streets.
Also, he was a streamer from a streaming plataform called "Kick" which is famous for that: there's absolute no control from the plataform owners and all the streamers who had been banned from Twitch always ends there.
Also, what happens in China, why those kind of streamers never do those stuff in there? Is it because Chinese people are really violent and aggressive towards this people or is it just the government and the laws, who are so oppressive and strict with people with this rude and terrible behavior?
Agree 👍 I’m not Japanese but I want Japan will be Japan free from the criminals
Asagi, I have absolutely no idea what you're saying in Japanese, but I love listeing to you say it.😃
You are 100% right! Going around pissing people off and making them feel uncomfortable is very rude. Showing respect when you travel is important.
I agree with you totally. I want to visit Japan. Your food, your Culture, your history. It's a shame that these idiots are a bad representation of foreigners..
Great video. You're breif explanation of Japanese people feeling inferior and intimidated is new to me. And Justin added some good thoughts.
When I travel abroad I do a little research about what to wear and how to act. I find that I am treated less as a tourist and more as a person. Then I can get the most natural travel experience possible because experiencing different cultures is a big draw for me. When I travel, if I can spot an American by looking at them across the streat, I feel embarrassed. And a bit angry as the people they come into contact may judge me later.
Inferior? Japanese still consider themselves as a Master Race, and consider non-Japanese to be sub-human. It hasn’t changed despite seven decades of propaganda.
What did you need to wear? I know it's clear that foreigners stand out in their clothing, at least if it's not exercise clothing, but that seemed more a difference in fashion styles rather than politeness. Like I went to College with a lot of Chinese students in America, and you could usually tell who was Chinese-Chinese and who was Asian-American by the clothes (Chinese students tended to wear shoes with extra thick padding, trench coats, etc). I did personally feel like I stood out though, not that anyone seemed to mind.
As a person who grew up with a very intense love for all things Japan and of Japanese culture and would definitely love to travel there someday, it really hurts my heart to see a bunch of cowardly jerks making a really bad example of how they want to treat Japanese people. This kind of behavior is not cool and is totally unacceptable; if I was treated that way, I would be super upset. I really hope that Johnny and the other person will NOT be welcomed back in Japan and stop pulling off this kind of stuff ever again (I am literally trying not to use swearing when I typed that, by the way).
You make really amazing content, Asagi; please keep up the great work, and I will await the next video from you! ❤
As a mixed Japanese-American living in Hawaii who is interested in my own culture and the country of Japan, this irritates me too. At the end of the day, even though I’m a Japanese descendant, I am ultimately a foreigner(gaijin) and outsider to the culture. When I visit and learn about the things my parents and grandparents taught me, it is interesting and helps me to appreciate my heritage.
But if I get categorized with the other foreigners doing bad things and causing trouble, they will also see me as bad because I am NOT from Japan originally. I want to continue traveling there and meeting people and hopefully live there briefly but this just gets harder when these content creators do stupid things for views and attention.
It is already difficult to learn about my culture and heritage as an American and many others like me simply don’t care because being Japanese is as foreign to them as someone from Europe, etc. This makes it harder for them to learn about this side of their identity now and in the future and further distances them which is unfortunate.
Arigato Asagi for sharing a Japanese person’s perspective that I can understand and relate to. I enjoy your videos and I agree with the advice you give about dating Japanese women because I’ve learned a lot of that through my own personal experience dating and interacting with them too. I hope things change for the better and relations between Japanese and foreigners continues to improve and everyone can be happy! Please continue to do what you do and help everyone and I will continue following, liking & subscribing! 😊
So many people looked at your comment and said, "too long, didn't read", and that's disappointing
I disagree. They should go to Singapore.
What is really troubling is that Japan is already xenophobic even to respectful foreigners / diaspora folks born in Japan. They’re gonna bare the brunt and experience even more racism & mistrust by the Japanese public. Japanese people will think “oh, all non Japanese people are like this” when this is not true. Those were just assholes & any person - Japanese or not Japanese - dislikes disrespectful people like that.
As a Swiss we share more or less the same value like Japan and you're absolutelly right about those guys.
Hey, question here,I'm a menager from Europe who might go work in Japan,anyone know if there are international companies in Tokyo that are less like traditional ones and. That have less work hours?
from an american: trust us, don't let them in.
I don't really think that this topic needs to be addressed at all. These are a handfull of crazy people who should be punished according to their misbehaviour. The countries where they come from also see them as crazy and awful people. It's not like that's a trend or so. They do not represent anything but maybe the degeneracy of the modern generation. Nothing else.
It seems pretty acepted in America by what we can see.
Maybe you just have strange friends. Who would think that is acceptable? Nobody.@@spaceli0n
@@Verbalaesthetright i see Americans getting annoyed by those types of people quite often
The represent streamers mainly and stupid turists. Nothing new
As a foreigner that wants to visit Japan one day (if i can and have the chance ) i agree with the title of that video !
Greetings from Greece !
It's so long since I saw you speak full on japanese lol 😂
Japan was better when foreigners couldn't get in, lol, but I'm a self hating American
that certain demographic we cant name even cause so much trouble in america.
@@spaceli0nyou're supposed to start a comment like that with the line- "now I'm not racist but....".
@@spaceli0n Usually racists have no problem saying their names. Sometimes even in a more derogatory form.
❤
I liked the video from before I even got to watch it.
Hi Asagi! I'm kinda new, & am also really enjoying your content! It really bridges the gap. I'm a "kokojin" living in the Caribbean, & I grew up watching Dragon Ball @ 4 pm every day, plus weekend marathons on toonami. Ive had MASSIVE respect for Japan & I've wanted to travel there almost my whole life. It really rips my heart open to see persons like "JS" over there wasting other people's time & messing with people's lives on a whim. Meanwhile i'd do almost anything (not prostitution) to be able to come add value to such an ancient & strong, vibrant, & amazing culture. People like "JS" shame me🙇♂
I think theses cases are blown massively out of proportions. There were roughly 17 million visitors to Japan in 2023, if only 1% are idiots and of those again 1% cause trouble you still have 1,700 cases, enough to report every day. Yet we see only a couple of faces day after day. These are the same people that cause trouble in their own country. Police should just react quicker to such cases. I mean, they record and publicize their own crimes, why can they continue that for so long? For me that is the real problem. There will always be troublemakers in any group of people that is large enough.
Well, a rotten fish in a barrel makes the whole barrel stink until it is removed.
True, but nobody will stop eating fish because the there is the occasional rotten one and preaching to the fish won't help. The person responsible for handling them needs to act.
From what I've read, the police have been letting that Johnny Somali guy run wild for a while so they could gather up more evidence to put charges on top of other charges and keep him detained as long as possible. That being said, a couple of these guys doing it and spreading it on the Internet will only entice more guys like them to do it.
Japan should be very restrictive to foreigners in general. They should not give in to international pressure to let migrants into their country, either as that would permanently change the culture like it has in Europe
Edit: 2:00 You shouldn't feel guilty of being called racist if you are calling out bad behavior.
Bro that is just straight up racism and xenophobia.
Stop trying to shoehorn your racist views into a video about tourists behaving badly.
There's been migrant workers in Japan for a long time... thai, filipino, african, chinese, arab, etc. That is not going away any time soon.
@@JurassicLion2049 America already was xenophobic with Japanese-American concentration camps. And today Israel is mimicking US style warfare, with US style culture. Of course people are concerned, selfishly, when NOW they feel they might have collective inconvenience.
But you should be inconvenienced. The entire basis of Western progressivism is that white guilt and collective privilege IS a responsibility, even WHEN nobody in recent memory earned this distrust.
You're so hypocritical, because you can't say "OF COURSE japanese people should still respect other individuals", you can only say "OF COURSE Japanese people will now be suspicious of foreigners." Because YOU would be. You always EXCUSE xenophobia, you don't try to lower it. You only try to get away with it only hitting the CORRECT target, and now the target is painted on you.
Dignified people would BEGIN with taking on the burden. You'd understand that people have distrust with you SIMPLY for being a stranger, adn that's what you may OVERCOME and show them you surpass it. Undiginifed people just want to start out with privilege. And like racism politics, they start painting on a picture that that the best people have stolen their privileges instead of earned them.
@@JurassicLion2049oh so other countries aren't racist only japan is ? 😂 the hypocrisy of yours is insane
Yeah I’ve seen articles like this and this can apply to people in any country can’t be doing this in someone’s country as a US citizen I’ve always wanted to travel to places like Japan , Thailand , South Korea , Mexico , and Italy but we must remember the laws and so on
Everyone agrees! Japan has a wonderful culture and there are some 'bad faith' foreigners that wish only to break it down. Just like some people try to do in the west, Australia my Country and others too. Japan is in a better position to stop this destructive thing. So you have full support as far as I can see 😃
Most CZcamsrs or Americans aren’t like Logan or Jake Paul, just like most Japanese women aren’t like anime women from Nautro or One Piece.
I'm aware. But just like there are some Americans who think Japanese people are like anime characters, there are some Japanese people who think American tend to be rude.
@@AsagisLifeNoBSJapan which is sad.
But I believe that the number of people that believe that is small. Even though I sometimes fall for such assumptions myself when discussing the French…
Question is, why is it only Americans behaving like that?
Mix a society about becoming better than everyone else, with arrogance, ignorance and overextroverty and this is what you get.
It's not. Europeans can be like that. And the Chinese have a reputation as the worst travelers(not streaming). I agree about the Chinese. I think it's just the ones that have money to travel. The Chinese that come here to work are good people.
One of them in the video, Fidias, isn't even American though.
@@MW_Asura about becoming better than everyone else?
just americans? are you living under a rock? there are criminals, who also happen to be social media influencers sometimes, nearly everywhere. if you watch the news lately, you could get a grasp of what other foreigners are doing right now in europe or in the US as so-called "pro-palestinians". heck, even in latinamerica - where i come from - this kind of crimes happen. a couple of years ago, criminals from my own country (Chile) were traveling in Peru and commited crimes that they filmed. you find criminals from probably every country on the wild, and we all know where they really should be
It's the first time I comment in your channel but love yours videos. I approve totally your point of view and these kind of CZcamsr are ******. They dont' know the luck they have to live in Japan. For some of us it's still a dream. Acting like that they will penalize some people who do nothing wrong. And plus, they will never act like that in their own country. When I visited Japan, when someone asked me to don't film I respected.
As an American, I love and respect Japanese culture, and I also hope to visit there one day before I die. Also, as an American, I am ashamed that there are "Americans" who come to Japan and cause trouble for content (Johnny Somali, for example). Right now, I am just glad he is off the streets, and Japanese authorities are cracking down on these IRL streamers and CZcamsrs who are in the same category as him. As a part-time content creator myself, I would not resort to something like this for content. I make sure that my content is for everyone to enjoy as long as it doesn't disturb other people around me. Thank you for understanding and for your patience because you and Japan as a whole have had to put up with this for months now. You all deserve better. I hope you have a blessed day 🙏.
