A not so affable video.
I’d like to point out guys, I realise the title sounds like an over-the-top hyperbolic statement, but I genuinely believe if this keeps happening, it’ll make filming in public in Japan more difficult, whether that’s CZcamsrs, streamers or the general public.
Japan is extremely tolerant and generous when it comes to folks filming publicly (as I mentioned in the video) and this risks undermining that atmosphere.
When I pull out a camera to shoot a video, I don’t want the folks around me to suddenly feel a sense of dread, because they’ve seen morons like this undertaking awful behaviour over and over, reported in the media.
Thanks for watching guys - see you later in the week for a more positive video!
Oh no, you’re correct
Hope it dosen't affect you, been to japan numerous times the past few years and always loved how kind the japanese are.
I will do my utmost to offset their idiocy by being extra respectful when we go back to Tokyo in February. These guys really boil my piss with their disrespect.
Remember when the 'yakuza' forced him to apologise? I thought they took a joint off your pinky.
I dispise foreigners who do this. It seriously pisses me off. Its not rocket science to NOT be a dickhead and i hate that people like this get so many views that reinforces their bad behaviour.
Its already an enormous problem for foreigners renting in Japan and this BULLSHIT isnt going to help in the slightest. I dont want to be looked down at just visiting because dickheads like this make the Japanese Government question everyone who happens to visit.
These people should be permanently banned from every social media platform.
That's actually a wonderful idea in concept. It's unfortunate that these people will be very persistent in coming back and making new accounts and doing whatever it is to get back on. With that said, they should just straight up go to jail for a few months every time they make stupid videos causing problems for other people.
If CZcams didn’t send a stern punishment against certain “famous & mayor youtuber” because she doxxed a content creator a few days ago; I highly doubt they would do anything here.
It has been proven time over time that the only thing YT cares is money.
Punishment when they brake any law are not cruel and or unusual@@TheFrenchmanCooks
@@TheFrenchmanCooks Excessive, maybe, but that's not cruel and unusual lol. I think a proportional fine would make more sense though
@@TheFrenchmanCooks That's not cruel and unusual punishment and definitely not excessive for them basically breaking into restricted zones, constantly harassing locals, and public disturbance including being unreasonably loud, provoking a negative reaction from people, and promoting bad behavior on a platform where even kids can see. Those are all crimes and it'd be a shocker to ONLY get a few months behind bars.
Thank you for making this video. Fidias and Johnny infuriate the hell out of me. These "influencers" take Japan's gentle and sincere culture for granted, and make the rest of us visitors look bad in return.
im second like
now first lol
Douchebags have always taken advantage of the shy, reserved nice guy. That's exactly what foreigners like these morons are doing to the general public of japan.
Fidias won a lambo from Mr. Beast and I believe he sold it. Then proceeds not to pay for anything in Japan. What a douche
Coffeehouse Crime, you fucking legend. Awesome to see you here.
"Japanese people will accept you if you behave just like them. But in fact, you're a guest in the country so you should behave BETTER."
--Foreign man interviewed by Takashi from Japan
@@jeremywhitley4271 yeah probably
@@jeremywhitley4271 Well... Japanese soccer fans cleaned up the garbage as they left the stadiums during the last World Cup, so they do in fact behave better than the locals when they visit other countries.
The Japanese are so well behaved that it is a challenge to behave better than them.....best people on the planet
Japan will never accept you. If you think so you’re dangerously naive.
@@alaaobaid3363I’d be well behaved too if I was 5ft tall💀
I want to go to Japan so bad but finances are holding me back from doing so.
And it just physically hurts to see people go and do stuff like this instead of actually appreciating a place I’ve dreamed of going to ever since I was a child.
Feel you, bro! My dream to visit atleast once in my life for almost 20 years...
@@arnvonsalzburg5033 yeah I’m 29 now. Been holding onto that dream for as long as you have at least. 😅
At least once I want to go before I die. Heck if I really like it I’d even consider moving there.
japanis pretty cheap right now to visit!
I'm disabled and kinda poor, so idk if I'll get to visit anytime soon.
Basically, it's my dream to visit as well, and it's heartbreaking to see people taking advantage of the privilege it is to travel to different countries in such an immature way.
when I went to study in Korea, 4 other students were chosen to go with me and NONE was interested in Korea. They even mocked the locals there. Meanwhile I knew at least 5 girls who studied Korean and would've loved to spend 1 semester there. Life is so unfair. I also went to study in Japan twice, and some of the students there who were on a full Japanese govmnt scholarship only chose Japan because of job opportunities, and were otherwise uninterested😅
Honestly, CZcams should be somewhat held accountable. They are allowing the promotion of crime on their website. If it is so easy to strike a CZcamsr for using a copyright material, why is it so hard to manage CZcamsrs committing crimes (trespassing, theft, etc), especially when it is so obvious.
Yep that is true. CZcams was also a place used by terrorist, gangs and other crime organization to recruit more followers which I've seen in the darkest part of youtube that usually take months or sometimes years before CZcams even does a move on removing those kind of videos.
Because copyright material is more easily spotted by the algorithm than crimes.
@@StellyITA Nah, it's because of money. People point out crimes to youtube on twitter and they still turn a blind eye, so it has nothing to do with the algorithm
Because copyrighted stuff loses them money, whereas crime = drama = more views = more money. It's all about the money...
@@cristinaflorina9538 the thing is that is rarely a real human that checks reported videos, or videos in general. I heard artists on yt that got their videos striked because they were painting too much bare skin and the algorithm mistaken that for porn.
Really good point, they are earning money from this behaviour, actively encouraging it.
What also makes me feel icky about Johnny Somali is that he deliberately boarded an all woman train at one point cause "he didn't get why they needed one" and perfectly demonstrated why they needed one by making them uncomfortable while filming.
He just got handed a 5 years prison sentence in Japan.
@@Sampak82 No he didn't, it's misinformation.
Jonny Somali also whose real name is Ismael Ramsey Khalid
@@DavidCruickshankyes he did lol
@@r2gh44 Unfortunately it's not true. He's serving his second detainment right now. With how many charges they can have on him, he will probably sit for a few months just to build a solid case.
I live in Japan as a foreigner for about 5 years now, came as a student and a year ago starting working as a full time employee. I always try to follow the rules in here, just be respectful. Last week, I went to Fuji , Kawaguchiko for few days, and as you can imagine there are lot of tourists there cause obviously because of Fuji, beautiful scenery, famous Fuji Q highland theme park. When I went to the bathroom in one of the stations there, the trashcans near toilets were filled with toilet papers when it specifically says there to flush it. I don't get it why is it hard to research common dos and don'ts before coming to a different country, and even then blatantly disregarding rules written there. I felt sad because obviously not many foreigners are like that and there are many tourists who follow the rules, but this just paints an overall picture of GAIJINS are bad , shouldn't come to Japan notion. So while i get it that not all of us like that, still Japanese ppl must be very tired of foreigners and they just want their place to be respected and treated with consideration.
When I just recently visited for the first time, I saw signs in the bathrooms saying to flush the toilet paper. My first thought was "who the fuck doesn't know to flush their toilet paper?" Like this isn't a Japanese rule you have to understand and follow, it's basic hygiene of all 1st world countries. Not knowing how to flush is 3rd world shit, how are they getting into Japan?
Golden rule of international travel “ when in Rome do as the Roman’s do” not hard rule to follow by
Not really. Just act normal it’s not hard if you are not sociopath
Don't mistake politeness in Asian culture for weakness. The legal system can be ruthless if you cross the lines.
Just a little bit of research in Japan history and one can find that they are not sweet at all.
What is wrong? I thought Japan is owned by America. That makes Japanese an inferior peasants and should listen to all Americans technically.
The Japanese legal system is literally "F$ck around and right find out. A rough conviction rate of 9/10. There attitude is "if you obeyed the law and minded youre business you would not be in a court of law.
But US people are considered Demi-God in Japan, sooo..
@@ahmadaldiwijanarko9704 haha. NO. Japanese dont take disrespect well. To them ALL westerners ate "Guests" who are there only because they "Allow it"
I saw an american girl in late 20-30s yelling at a JPN old lady in 80s in the bullet train the other day. I asked what's going on and the girl said "the old lady wouldn't switch her seat." I assumed the old lady had sat in the wrong seat and gently asked her to show her train ticket, and you know what the old lady was sitting exactly where she should be sitting. I was confused but the girl basically wanted to kick the old lady out so that she would be able to sit with her boyfriend side by side. I was speechless.
今日本は円安とコロナ政策の緩和などにより海外からたくさんの観光客が来ています
日本の文化は礼儀正しく、謙虚で平和、そして周りの人に敬意を持って接します
日本人は基本的に人には優しく接します
もちろん中には違う人もいるけど
外国人が日本で暴れても一部の悪い人の行いであり、店に入れば笑顔で迎え、道を聞かれたら親切にしたいです
それが日本人の心にあり続ける「おもてなし」であり、他者と平和を保とうという日本の心です
日本に来てくれたのだから楽しんで帰ってほしい
多くの日本人はそう思っています。
この先もお互いが幸せな時間を過ごせるよう、他人に敬意を持っていけたらいいですね。
As an American, I would like to say that these crazy people are a minority. And I’m concerned about how Japanese people would view tourists poorly because of their poor actions.
The grand majority of us overseas have an admiration for Japan and its culture.
I mean this in the kindest possible sense, but I hope Japan accidentally deports Johnny Somali to Somalia, rather than the US
So do us Americans; he’s a menace to society, no matter where on Earth it exists.
At least in Somalia his internet will be too spotty to make vids and poison minds.
I want better things for the people of Somalia
@@Nynke_Ktrue...send him straight to Antarctica 🥶
pebble 🫵🏼
@@drex5160Pinguins have feelings too. I personally fee like that there is no place for people with a-hole behaviour anywhere.
I was recently in Japan and saw a tourist lie down on part of Shibuya crossing while his friend filmed him. He didn't move even when an older Japanese woman carrying shopping tripped over him and fell to the ground. No idea why they thought this was in any way funny or acceptable. The kind of behaviour that makes you really ashamed to be a tourist, especially in a place like Japan.
I wonder what kind of 'trend' is this? Is it another stupid new trend from TikTok? Because recently in Bali there's also TikTok viral video about some tourists with similar behaviour just like you mentioned, one of them lying on the road while the other filming. They're causing a traffic.
man this makes m*rder looks justifiable.
@@aubreysongyep, it’s always tiktok, without fail.
@@peekaboopeekaboo1165 The problem is not the app, but the trends that the app facilitates. But, yeah, people are stupid
@@peekaboopeekaboo1165 Of course not? The algorithm is the problem. It's made to share popular stuff, and if the popular stuff is dangerous, nosy or otherwise problematic will still be shared around. But that's also how youtube works, and every other social media. People are picking on TikTok because is the new one
Chris your outlook and positive tone on life has been a constant source of inspiration and entertainment to me.
I don't understand why CZcams and other platforms don't ban these guys. CZcams is quick to censor comments that do not break their rules, but yet they allow people like these guys to put their hideous content up. Its ridiculous.
I tried to call out before about that fidias criminal on it creating a sub channel to prevent the shadowban and get monetized for its crimes again, but youtube being a dummy head told me that it's "free speech" so it won't ban those criminals.
i’m so glad you made a video addressing these clowns. it infuriates me seeing these pathetic losers taking advantage of japan and the kindness of its people. it makes other foreigners who actually respect the culture look terrible. i really hope these people get banned from ever entering the country again and this all comes to a stop soon.
I have always hated people that responds to humble and educated people abusing and lauginh off them. Japan people treated us very kindly everywhere we visited on our 17 days visit. I know there´s the tatemae and honne way of thinking, but most people seemed to me genuinely kind all the time. (excuse my possible English errors,I m Spanish).
These guys aren‘t Clowns. They are an entire circus.
foreigner quality
@@Mr37Kyle these folks are an exception to don't judge a book by its cover.
Most foreigners in Japan are similarly stupid to Johny Somali.
This really pisses me off... I lived in Japan a number of years and contrary to perception, the Japanese are kind, helpful people. I remember when I first arrived being in the Yokohama bus station and asking a local if he spoke English, as the trains were quite confusing at first, and while he didn't, he held in to my arm and asked others until he found someone who could help me.
I'd say that it isn't "contrary to perception" -- it's that exact idea which motivates these "content creators" to screw with Japan for money.
@@Winium there are some people, especially in more outgoing cultures, that misunderstand the quiet and reserved culture for antisocial behavior
Some random shopkeeper stacking vegetables took us to our hotel two blocks away because he couldn't describe the way in english - leaving his shop unattended; the chief of staff of *Tokyo trainstation* personally showed us to our lockers when we got lost in that maze! Just two instances of remarkable friendliness I experienced in Japan when visiting. I'd hate to see that get ruined by random twats and view-whores.
Yes, they are so kind that they keep saying keep sending unawanted nudes, harass me etc🥺
@@mayshusakuhanamurasufferli5438 irrelevant, all countries have bad people.
Thanks for talking about this issue! Just recently a CZcamsr from my country made a lot of nuisance in last few weeks. I tried to make him aware about Japanese culture and taking videos in public but you know these types of CZcamsr is not going to be changed!!!
Dude I was really hoping you were gonna comment on this situation and this video is amazing, you are amazing
These w**kstains are the scourge of CZcams and the scourge of society. Thank you Chris for calling this out. This was such a refreshing video to watch, and put a big smile on my face. We're all behind you. Let's hope CZcams does something to punish those who are profiting from crime (and general twatery) on the platform. I'm so proud of many CZcams creators and the values to which we hold ourselves to - let's fight to protect that reputation.
Your mustache is sexy
Woah I remember seeing you in an old sean video I swear. Didn't you make a video about the "snowflake generation" lol?
Hey dude, big fan!
wow bro , love your vids too
Love both your channels!
Totally agreed, and makes the rest of foreigners look bad unfortunately.
This is just my opinion, but I think japanese people should not assume every foreigner is like this. Crazy people will always exist in every group
@@seasong7655 bruh if things worked out that way then the whole world would be different, not just Japan.
I mean, all these troublemakers share a certain readily apparent characteristic. So they don't make me look bad per se, and if everyday Japanese people start discriminating against this certain kind of foreigner, I won't be affected by this either. So I'm fine with this.
Yea, that's the absolutely crappy part. We're not ALL like that at all.
@@pitbul2877 I think that the issue can go beyond filming in public. For instance what if there was another pandemic it took Japan for ever to open its borders last time and with these idiots running around I can’t help but think it will have some impact for example the borders opening.
well done for making this video!
Great video! Spot on!
Imagine holding a person at gun point, stealing their wallet, and your testimony in court is "I didn't know that was illegal in this country", I didn't think it was possible to have that little common sense, these people are openly committing crimes and documenting themselves doing it
"I didn't know that was illegal in this country"
That's a good excuse.
I'm stealing that.
I mean it’s not a sincere excuse. He’s just saying I’m sorry I finally did something people actually saw and not stupid fuckin 12 year olds
We have a saying for that in Germany: "Unwissenheit schuetzt vor Strafe nicht." - "ignorance doesn't protect from punishment"
@@first__last One of my favourite stupid excuses is from a Shadowrun source book: "No, your honour, I didn't plan to kill him. I just wanted to intimidate him a bit. He looked pretty intimidated when I blew off his head."
Or even better, "sorry I made them feel bad." 😅
"Clout chasing" (as the internet calls it) is such a prevalent issue everywhere, and the fact that these people have not been viciously deplatformed (or arrested) for committing literal crimes has only emboldened them and those around them, I'd even go so far as to say that they've made the term "clout chaser" synonymous with "active criminal"
Bump. Yeah those scumbags exist everywhere.
its worse than that because so many people hate-watch it brings in to much ad revenue that youtube supports them instead.
It's all about form over substance for most people these days. Disgusting.
the issue is, they thrive off of the hate. you can't cancel these types of people
The Somali guy was kicked off YT and has been kicked off his latest platform too I believe, too little too late. The problem is the platforms themselves aren't held to account, and as long as idiots like him bring in revenue they really don't care until there is enough backlash to make advertisers think twice.
I stand with you guys on not letting this get a lot worse and If I every do a live stream, I will do my bast to be respectful.
I’m DEFINITELY buying your book! Hope it ships fine to southern China!! ❤
Currently in Japan as a tourist and its pretty bad. There are a number of tourists who are being so disrespectful, a lot of people who did not do any research or readings before coming here. You can hear the locals comment on their behavior. 😭 Despite this, they have been so welcoming and kind to us.
I hear it too. I obviously ignore it, but it's sad that it's happening.
I saw that in October, too, in Osaka. Some Polish guys were accusing the local venue that they "cheated" them on money. They were arguing for 15 minutes. But the fact was that there was a service fee they did not want to pay. They basically forced the lady to give them a discount. The whole bunch of locals waiting felt evident discontent. Many tourists come and misbehave. In Kyoto, too, when filming, basically everything stands in the way of others and locals. Unfortunate as it is.
@@rkarcade7417 That sounds more like a misunderstanding than purposefully being a nuisance. In a lot of countries (probably not so much in Japan) local services and people will try to scam foreigners out of money. And the service fee was maybe not shown in English and maybe not beforehand leading to the guy feeling he was being cheated or targeted
I miss tourist-free Japan ngl.
@@rkarcade7417This is typical polish mentality.
This is not just a "Japan" thing. These "influencers" are just a menace EVERYWHERE.
But the problem is Japan's got a reputation for being polite.
But as Somali found out, the Japanese descend from Samurai!
they all travel for pics and content
It's only a problem when it's not in the western part of the world tho...gotta follow their rules, respect them and their laws but the western world nooooope.
everything for contentss urgh
@@FinalFantasySUX688 US citizens braking the law in US is "just" US problem. US citizens braking a law in any country that's not US becomes international problem.
That's the difference.
3:15 ABSOLUTELY BUCK BROKEN
Okinawa was my very first duty station after joining the Marines. I went on to be stationed at Camp Fuji and Iwakuni. My love for Japan and it’s people is immeasurable and I really respect how much honor you give their culture. They are the kindest and most accommodating people to everyone and unfortunately the dumbasses of the world like to take advantage. Your video on climbing up Mt. Fuji was so awesome I almost felt like I was home again, and I remembered things from my own experience of climbing it that I’d forgotten about for almost 25 years since having to come back to the states. I wish Japan made it easier for foreigners to permanently relocate there, because I would move back in a heartbeat.
I'm currently in Japan. These recent events have made me extra aware of how I behave so that i do not offend anyone, and I'm making sure every exchange with a Japanese person is a positive one.
I'm concerned that we may end up in a situation where streaming will be banned, affecting good people like Connor, Rob, Pete etc 😪😡
That's my fear too. If this isn't handled in house (i.e. CZcams and other social media sites), it will be handled by govts. I don't know about you, but I don't trust any government to handle anything to do with social media in a way that isn't heavy handed and comes with a lot of collateral damage for good people.
influencers are so entitled
@@JokeswithMitochondria hey mate i got curious by ur username so decided to click on ur profile. Wasnt disappointed lmao
@@sterlingarcher8041 thanks for pointing it out haha
@@JokeswithMitochondria Yeah I alwys took the word "influencer" as a bad one. I mean you shouldn't influence people, especially not by taking the piss with the honesty of Japanese people 😑
Usually I don’t like when CZcamsrs jump on the trend of current drama but I feel you’re the perfect person to cover this drama and I thank you for bringing attention to it.
It's not really jumping on a trend though, Chris was essentially held as an ambassador for all foreigners on a TV show, He obviously didn't want to make a video about more of these idiots but felt a duty to do so as one of the bigger creators showing genuine tourists what not to do.
I mean, it's not "drama" for him since it personally affects him. Like the previous commenter said, because he kinda got pushed into the ambassador role by national TV, but also because more filming bans resulting from this means less places he could film (in a respectful way) in either
He did a great video to bring this out so we can see the fact that there are people like this that are not worth our time.
I never enjoy when the term “drama” gets lumped in with this very legitimate stuff. Drama is gossip, squabbles and content - it’s about the furthest thing you can get from this video’s necessary and unreserved condemnation of dipshits going actual crimes and dragging an industry down into the mud while doing it…
@@gigitrix And it's always going to be current drama if folks keep doing it.
I f*n loved all the obscenities you let fly in this episode. SO GOOD !
I’m glad someone brought this up. Formally I was in the Marines and infantry at that. But, before that I was first and foremost an anime fan and was overwhelmingly excited in 2016 when I finally got to take a 3 weeks vacation in Japan. Despite the negative stereotypes associated with Americans and military I did the very best I could to be extremely respectful of others and the culture and did the best I could, as I had in every country I visited, to be a model tourist. It saddens me that this week I’ve seen not one but, two videos of foreigners being arrested in Japan for purposely violating the law for CZcams clout. Please guys when visiting other countries represent your home country in the best possible fashion and remember that you are a guest.
Considering your reputation has an outstanding track record of being respectful to the people living in japan, your incredibly brilliant script bashing these irresponsible "entertainers" has put the biggest smile on my face. In no way should these actions be tolerated or seen as "entertaining", but rather just a kid who didn't get enough attention as a kid doing things they know they shouldn't. Thank you for the video, hope to see your next video on finding love again!
I hope Sharla is in that episode. If not, I fear for Chris' safety
You notice Johnny is smiling in the back of that police vehicle...he didn't learn.
I don't know... when I see Chris body language and overall behavior in his videos when he is together with other Japanese people, I cannot help but think that it comes over as indifferent, western-ignorant. Standing sideways, with a bored unmotivated look, taking things with one hand.
chris can you make an etiquette class for foreigners and call it abroad with a plan 🙈
Class one.. don't be a C *NT
Him, Joey, Sharla, Connor. Pretty much all of TokyoLens and GeeXPlus could easily create a 1 hour video called: "How to Not Embarrass Well-Behaved Gaijin in Japan"
Agreed
You don't even need a class, just need to be a decent human being. Japan is a pretty rigid society (particularly if you want to live there), but not so rigid that a normal, polite, sane person would have to change their whole demeanor or learn a bunch of rules to visit.
@@PotteExactly NORMAL people can adjust & do fairly well...These types however probably have Cluster B personality disorders like NPD & ASPD😬.
As a Japanese woman myself, a lot of this behavior is just highly disrespectful to how we live and our culture. I am not bold enough to do anything about it, but something needs to be done.
I've seen people filming on the streets before, pretty much all of them were respectful, kind, and understanding of others going about their days. I hope this changes for the better going forward.
Thank you Chris-san for raising awareness for this issue.
どうもありがとうございます！

As a non-Japanese, I feel truly ashamed and sad about these types of CZcamsrs. They lack basic human decency. I am finally fulfilling my long-time dream this year and going as a tourist soon to Japan. I’ve been studying so I can behave as best as possible and avoid being a stress for the locals, treating everything with utmost respect.

Epic ending there Dude. Respect.
They don't ruine Japan , They are Ruining Tourists and Foreigners Reputation . Japan is one of the country you NEED to Read about before going . It is the Country of Ultimate Respect
They absolutely will ruin it. It makes me so angry because there are people like you, Rob, Pete, Connor and Joey et all that go around and show amazing and beautiful parts of Japan that most of us won't ever be able to see..
For sure.. theyre getting the full US/foreigner package now..
I wouldn't be so sure, Chris etc are all very respectable, speak the language and can demonstrate their body of work is a positive one. It might curtail some shooting if it's random, but generally on location I think they should be ok.
The Japanese people are cautious and wary of idiots but they aren't stupid.
@@helvete983
not enough.
as an expat living in Japan I share the sentiment of the populace. 7 out of 10 from the West are assertive rude ignorants. I ve seen how Westerners harass the local school girls.
You guys are NOT welcomed.
The damage is already beyond repair if you truly have a good grasp on things locally.
Already happened
whats stopping you from seeing japan? You have your whole life to save up money for japan.
Its sad when ignoring these people doesnt work and they get big off it
They get off to it*
the idea that ignore it and it will go away doesn't work when several million others aren't and never were going to ignore it. Sadly these people have an audience and it's better to confront them then hope they just go away
Theres just too many sleepy eyed masses giving them the attention
Their viewers are also clearly on the younger side and I think it's crazy that CZcams is algorithmically serving 12-18 year old people content about breaking the law. They should probably ban most of this content, but also I feel CZcams has a moral obligation to supress this content from younger viewers.
@@neotagatg3238 Yes, sadly, there are plenty of miscreants and losers that watch these streamers and support their awful behavior.
This video is helpful, I would love to visit Japan someday but I am stuck where I am at for now.
CZcams and Twitch need to demonetize people who go out of their way to harass others in public. Too many people now are trying to make money by being stupid in public and are way too shameless about it.
I'm glad such a popular channel made a video to raise awareness on the issue. Chris is being a badass as always.
seeing Johnny Somali just smiling while I'm assuming when he was being taken in by the police is extra aggravating since it clearly shows he's got zero regrets for his stupidity and is just enjoying all the attention
I am sure he isn't smiling now sitting in Japanese prison for 2 months.
he's just used to the US way of doing things - you do some stupid shit, you get caught, you lawyer up, get released, rinse and repeat.
Classic sociopath behavior. They don't fear anything.
It's psychopathy that involves reduced fear response, due to neurological abnormalities. Sociopathy involves a learned tendency towards anti-social behaviour.
@@amicableenmity9820 His next video;
"I got kidnapped by a group of Cartel!
"I got doxxed by 4chan gangs!"
"I got beaten up by my own people!"

There have been many foreigners like them in Japan for a long time, but since the internet was not developed at that time, people did not know about them.
Fantastic video. I really appreciate how well you got across how angry and disappointed you were with this behaviour in such an eloquent and well spoken manner.
So many people dream getting to visit Japan, and CZcamsrs like Chris are so important not just to promote tourism, but to educate lots of us outside of Japan.
shit my dream is to live there im worried these a holes might cause them to ban foreginers from living there
@@gamerrowedy6614there’s just no way they would do that. They’d pass filming laws if anything. The idea of banning foreigners is fear mongering
@@gamerrowedy6614their population is aging out so rapidly the JP government is propping up CZcams channels like this one so that it brings more people over there. These idiots won't change the fact that in the next 50 years Japan will likely be a much less homogeneous society with tons of ハーフ babys in the mix
@@gamerrowedy6614This would be a great idea. It's long overdue for them to ban foreigners. You really got no business living there unless you're very rich! Japanese do not want foreigners pollute their lands. I'm losing more and more respect for Japan as they just keep letting in all these obnoxious stupid foreigners.
@@gamerrowedy6614 2 goofball youtubers being a nuisance are not going to cause them to permaban foreigners from living there my man
Perfectly chosen swear words to perfectly describe some cretins.
A tactically deployed "a d**khead" is one of the few things i get patriotic about being British. We have very little else going on for us right now honestly..
Hear hear 😂
Adding "Proper-" before any insult is something us brits pull off perfectly!
@@FuzzballRenakitty like pure poetry :D
We use that word in the U.S., but it's much more effective with a British accent.
That being said, I think our accent is more effective with "*sshole."
this is why we can't have nice things, I hope everyone takes chris's message to heart
Thank you for pointing this out. Thank you for making this video.
Having just returned from Japan, I can't express enough how kind and polite every Japanese person is over there! From the taxi drivers who pause the meter at traffic lights near our hotel to the bus driver in Kyoto who assisted me when my Suica card stopped working while paying the bus fare, every interaction with the locals was truly remarkable. Everyone in Japan is exceptionally polite and delightful to interact with. It saddens me to witness these sh*t-fluencers taking advantage of the wonderful people of Japan.
あなたが京都のバス運転士を親切だと感じたならゴミは持ち帰って下さい、外国人のマナーが悪い。日本人はあなたたち外人に怒ってます
I'm 10000% with you, mate. Had all these experiences myself and I'm happy that my wife showed me many of typical japanese traditions and nuances beforehand so I wouldn't unwillingly make a fool out of myself. We tried to respect all these important details and imitate behavior and aside from my beginner's level japanese the locals seemed impressed and delighted. And then we saw the tourists: loud, nasty, smelly, ignoring etiquette, not adapting to anything, uninformed, sometimes disrespecting important places. Especially the special snowflakes aka streamers and influencers...
It made me irate and I felt so ashamed for us, even without having any connection. I just hope the locals won't grow tired of outsider's anytime.
I recently read that they want to limit or completely passage to the mount Fuji because of the litter-issue and overcrowding. It makes me sad that they have to resort to such means.
Yeah, if anything, I hated being around tourists when in Japan lol. Well, most of them didn't speak english anyway, but the ones that did speak a language I could partly understand (French) were pretty rude. We see them in the Caribbean resorts too, being rude.
@@phillydisco LMAO I can relate! I went to Japan last March. I was in Ebisu and walked by a group of French dudes just WAISTED out of there gourds going into what looked to be a quiet pub making a loud entry. Yelling and shit.
Soon the Japanese won't be polite and kind to foreigners.
The vigilante punching the first guy was extremely cathartic to watch. Thank you for showing that clip Chris. And thank you for raising awareness on these people Chris for the sake of Japan.
The coin sound was the best part of that clip
i want to goto japan and make videos to remember my time being there but with these jackasses going there its gonna destroy my ability to take photos and videos i really dont want japan to ban video and photos at all but i do want these shitheads out and banned from returning
I just hope the guy didn't suffer from negative consequences...
From what I hear he owns a cafe or a bar and he did face a bit of harassment from the streamer's community. But, I also hear that those in support of what he did have been kind of balancing that, so it is what it is @@yologogo5441
What does cathartic mean?
Thank you for using social media as it should be amd allowing us into your world.
I can't wait for the episode where they walk across the DMZ in Korea!
It's terrible that foreigners visiting Japan stop at the Shibuya Scramble Crossing and take pictures with their smartphones or obstruct the passage.
Many foreigners throw garbage and cigarette butts on the streets.
Such disregard for manners by foreigners has become commonplace.
For Japanese people who follow good manners and live a normal life, this is nothing but a nuisance.
I think that to take a pic in the middle of the flow - if you're not blocking people - is fine. But it's not your own private social media spot - it's a very busy, very public place - you Have to respect that, and be aware of both every other person passing And the lights changing. If you stop for 5 or 10 seconds out on the edge, out of the main flow - fine, but then move on with everyone else. You can always keep crossing as many times as you want, to continue.
Yeah idk how people just stop when people are walking behind them. I took videos and pictures in Shibuya crossing but I kept it moving or I made sure I wasn't in the way
I know its not japan but I am from Edinburgh, Scotland and tourists do this often as well which makes it incredibly infuriating for who want to get somewhere! people aren't considerate enough
Another place is an anime spot in Shonan. Tourists are in the street and the local drivers having difficult times. Also it's quite ironic that Chris is calling out those influencers but he himself was the one who did an IRL streaming with Cdawg and Pete in Golden Gai for money where filming is banned in the street and wasn't even apologetic when an old lady came after scolding them. Now that place is becoming a tourist spot rather than old local neighborhood gatherings spot, destroy long lasting culture 😔
When I watch YT's Shibuya Crossing live broadcast, I see that there are many tourists who do not obey Japan's road traffic laws, which is a real problem. I am worried that it may lead to an accident.
Thank you for taking your time to make this. It's so sad that "influencers" like this will be the death of video and photography freedoms if incidences like this keep happening. Thank you for raising awareness. Remember to always be polite, not just in foreign places, but places you visit daily as well. Treat others the way you want to be treated.
The unfortunate thing is that basically ANYONE can be a influencer...This includes people like this that more than likely have Cluster B personality disorders😮💨.
@@malwads1836 sad but true, and they typically get away with it while "nice guys" finish last
Damn love your background set up, where you buy those items at?
Had me laughing from the first joke (like doing happy videos) to the end. Thanks!
I recently took a trip to Japan and I felt extra conscious of my actions because of people like these. Japan is such a hospitable place, to spitefully take advantage of that says a lot about you.
Japan ranks as the 3rd or 4th most xenophobic country on earth. Where on earth have you gotten this delusion of it being hospitable from? Weebs are seriously delusional. Scary
They're hospitable because they need tourism. They're economy needs the revenue from it. If you're a local, it's a whole new hell.
@@NormanReaddis that doesn't really change anything that the comment said

Ugh. This is why we can't have nice things.
I'm planning a big trip to Japan early next year and I will be doing a lot of filming on the street and on public transit.
I'm going to be really pissed if these losers ruin it for the rest of us.

私は現在日本（外国人）に住んでいますが、これらのライブストリーマーの行為について日本国民全員に本当に申し訳なく思っています。 これは止めなければなりません。 訪問する国の規則を尊重することはとても簡単です。
ここにいることを誇りに思います。 両手を広げて私を歓迎してくれてありがとう。
日本に住んでくれていてありがとう。私も日本に住む日本人として、このことには責任を感じており、止めなければと思っています。海外からの旅行者・居住者の大半は礼儀正しく、日本の法律・文化を尊重してくださいます。一部の不届者の為に、彼らの入国が難しくなったり住みにくくなるのは許せません。一緒に良いコミュニティを作っていきましょう！
アメリカ人として、私は日本文化を愛しており、人々がただ生きようとしているだけであり、皆と共存しようとする美しく、とても謙虚なところが大好きです。でも、他の外国人がアメリカ人であろうがなかろうが、他の外国人を見ると、残りの私たちを悪く思わせます、日本、単純なルールに従えない愚かな人々をとても残念に思います、あなたは愛されていますし、実際に気にかけ、考え、そして考えている人たちから敬意を表します習慣や法律を尊重してください。日本に行くことは私のやりたいことリストに入っていますが、その後は本当に恥ずかしいです。
文法のスペルが間違っていて申し訳ありませんが、安全で健康でありますように。
こんなごく少数の個人の低劣な行動を見ただけで、外国人全体に偏見を持つような人間は、ただの幼稚な差別主義者ですので無視していいです。
そもそも、この手のアホなCZcamsrや配信者は日本人にも大勢いますので、無関係なあなたが日本人に申し訳なく思う必要は欠片もありません。
この問題の根底には、迷惑行為や反社会的な行動でも、周囲の注目を浴びて再生回数が伸びれば
利益が出てしまうという今のインターネット社会の歪んだ構造があります。
迷惑行為をする個人を責めるよりも、youtube をはじめとする企業側に適切な対応を求める方が遥かに重要でしょうね。
一緒に呼びかけていきましょう🤲

Imagine getting this response in the US for the refugees and illegal immigrants 😂😂😂
この手の「迷惑系CZcamsr」について取り合げてくれてありがとうございます。日本人としてお礼を言いたいと思います。
Thank you for calling out bad behaviour of these "trouble maker Tubers", Chris. We Japanese take pride in our hospitality and kindness. But we also tend to be bit skeptical about foreigners since our society is largely homogenous one. (less than 3% of foreign-born residents)
I really hope these 'bad examples' don't affect negatively how my people saw foreginers visiting (and living in, like you Chris) Japan.
Do take note that we foreigners do think these pricks are truly infuriating too, I hope this will not be a trend.
そういうクズのせいで外国人が嫌われる...
追放しべきだと思うんだよな

Yeah I really hope these dumb streamers don't leave a negative impression on all foreigners. Honestly most of us visiting Japan want to be here to learn about the culture, history and amazing historic and view sites in person. Please don't hate us foreigners for the actions of a small few who do not represent the majority of us. 🙇🏽
Dear sir at 3:13, I do not know who you are, but you are a fc..king legend !! Educational measure of one punch to the head administered flawlessly 😄
Japan is one of the most amazing places I’ve ever been. Everyone is so kind and the hospitality is unmatched. People like these CZcamsrs have no respect for different cultures. I love being immersed in different cultures and I do my very best to be respectful to and informed about where I’m going.
Just came back from a visit to japan, and I’m shocked at how someone would feel the need to behave in such a disgusting manner?!? The people there were so nice and polite to everyone! Everything is so clean and organized. I’m really angered by this 😡
Yeah. They wouldn't dare doing any of that in the purple dimension of green faces.
(But seriously you're right)
It reflects a contempt of Westerners towards Asia. When do you see Asian influencers causing trouble in the West? Like never.
It's called attention seeking and getting payed for it. Brings out the vile rodents. Social media is rotting western society and they all suck it up and love it. Only thing worse are the people that subscribe to that crap.
@@THEanovah TOTALLY agree with you. This phenomenon is not just against Japan, it symbolises an attitude towards whole Asia
I definitely agree with you Chris on now needing to actively report these bad actors. Ignoring hasn’t worked, so action needs to be taken.
The thing is this will never stop
Thanks for making this video. It really bothers me how these foreign influencers treat folks here in Japan. I’ve lived here for 4 years now, and people here are so incredibly kind and generous.
I agree with other commenters. Don’t take their culture or their kindness as weakness. If you come into their country, be respectful.
These people need to be better. In any country you should respect the people around you
yeah yeah thats great, so who's gonna completely eliminate any kinda mental illness or differences between humans... because you'd need a serious eugenics plan to make everyone the same to guarantee nobody acts a fool in public ever. at a certain point, the country just has to stop giving them so much attention.
You worded that much more politely than I would of lol
at the very least don't break the rules and do illegal nonsense.
if you're naturally an a hole fine but don't commit crimes in other countries.
They make their living from sensationalist crap that drives views (also terrible terrible people)… this needs fixed at source. Blatantly criminal and disrespectful content should risk banning their entire account and money streams. Permanently.
Well said !

NC Renaissance Fair is pretty great! I think it's the largest in the US!
Glad you picked this one up, I saw and article in the Guardian Australia and was so disappointed that these clowns have so many subscribers given their poor behaviour and lack of respect. Sadly it's not surprising in today's world. As a traveller to Japan, I have been met with nothing but helpfulness and kindness everywhere I have gone by the Japanese people. We drove 2500kms around Honshu in July this year and met some beautiful people and we cannot wait to return again. Arigatougozaimasu Japan!
subscribers? Bots.Paid for bots.
It's so sad what social media has done to our society, to think that just to gain attention on the internet, people would actually go as far as to trespass and steal is quite depressing. Not that without social media this wouldn't happen but would definitely occurences be lower. Thank you for covering these topics and bringing them to the lime light even though they are not the type of content you generally enjoy making!
You shouldn't think about it like that. There is always a trade-off to anything. To talk about it like that means to ignore the good that came out of these things. For example, the world is more aware now with the internet. CZcamsrs and streamers are normal people that became successful and you wouldn't have Abroad in Japan without it.
Not only that, but him recording himself do these things and post it all in public means there's always proof against him.
It's the smartphone that did it. Before smartphones you needed pc to go online, and the internet and world was much better. The smartphone is one of the worst inventions ever. It's toxic and ruining people. Everyone and their kids n grans online due to the smartphone is whats caused this.
日本に住む日本人ですが、ほとんどの観光客や在住の外国人の方は無害で私達の国を尊敬してくれていると知っています。
残念ながら一部の極まれなアウトサイダーな人が注目されているのは事実。日本にも保守的で外国人を良く思わない人がまだいるので、こうした状況が続いてしまうと残念ながらお店や地域によっては外国人をまとめてシャットアウトしてしまうかもしれません。そうならないことを祈りますが。
日本で悪いことを試してみたい「お客様」が居たら、東京拘置所など日本の深い体験をして貰うのも良いかもしれません。日本の法律はかなり厳しくルールも規律もトップクラスだと体感して貰えるでしょう。興味深いブログをありがとうございました😊
As a Japanese,
I’m soooooooooooooooo scared of foreigners who are rude.
As a non-Japanese I feel so ashamed and sad for this kind of behavior 😞, it angers me even. I hope they get punished. I am traveling soon to know Japan and I will behave with utmost care and respect 🙏🏼
Imagine living in America and you’re surrounded by people like this and you have to live with them. It’s awful!!
As a resident foreigner, I apologize. Japan deserves much better.
@@susan4273 No we aren't surrounded by these people.
I live in America and these idiots would've lost their teeth almost immediately.
I have seen people gotten beat up for less in the trains.
There is a reason why prank videos in America stopped happening. A lot of those youtubers got arrested or beat up.
So they go to more friendly countries to do what they definitely cannot do in America.
The very definition of "This is why we can't have nice things".
Japan is not a theme park where foreigners can enjoy without restraint.
You should understand that Japan is a country inhabited by honest and polite Japanese people who do not like disorder or noise.
You should've seen them during WW2.
This is something Muricans apparently struggle with understanding, and it's not just with Japan, it's with European countries too
is that an actual background or an unreal engine one it looks amazing

Some scumbags see kindness as weakness. Disgraceful!
This has been normalized in the west, now it's Japans turn seeing as how nobody stopped it when it could've been stopped.
It shouldn't happen to anyone, anywhere.
Don’t worry, just because these guys are being assholes, we know better that most visitors mean no harm, and we love having you visit us!
Have fun in Japan !
One helpful tip; DON’T MESS WITH FOOD!! That’s what pisses the hell out of most Japanese people. (It’s OK if you can’t eat.)
"The baton of twattery"! Legendary line!
These people reinforce all the stereotypes that people in Japan have about the west. This makes it very hard for those of us that speak the language and know many of the customs to be able to quietly enjoy ourselves without being regarded as a potential problem everywhere.
I am Japanese, and while it can be frustrating to see some foreigners, I don't hold a negative view of all foreigners. Every country has its share of foolish individuals, and I find it a joy to see tourists enjoying themselves.
For Christmas, I wish that Fidias and Johnny's sense of adventure and mischief rise even further and finally get out of hand to the point of serious injury, getting trapped on a remote island without any means of communication, or just good old jail time.
i love the content, i love japanese culture, i wish I could visit but plane tickets are really expensive from half way around the world.
I see comments like, "Japanese people should crack down harder on foreigners like this," but I think the biggest victims are not us Japanese, but people of the same race and nationality whose trust is indiscriminately damaged for the sake of one person's temporary Income.
Also they say, "Don't get me wrong, there are only a few people like this," but we know that bad deeds are more noticeable than their good deeds, so the saying exists,
"When you leave Japan, act as if you are representing of Japanese"
Where a large number of people had spent many years growing candy fibers into giant cotton candy, they sprinkled water on it.
That's a beautiful metaphor ❤

Johnny Somali was deported not long ago and avoided a long prison sentence most because I believe the Japanese authorities just wanted him to get the fuck out, he will never be allowed back into Japan so he is Americas problem now I guess.

My wife is Japanese and we go to see her extended family every year or so. Been there over 20 times. I’m always appalled when I encounter other foreigners in public acting like complete ass hats. Usually I do as the Japanese do and ignore them. But sometimes I can’t help but give them the stink eye and try to clue them in on what complete disrespectful idiots they look like. Because it actually reflects badly on me! Even though I’m usually very respectful and considerate, especially in Japan.
I wish I could visit Japan 🇯🇵 but I don’t know anyone there.
Don’t be afraid to call them out, someone has to. It’s the reason why they feel like they can get away with whatever they’re doing is because no one is saying anything. At least report it to the police.
