**NOTIFICATION SQUAD**
Last several months have been hectic as I had had to travel all over Japan and I could not film videos at all, but here I am back again with some truly useful Japanese language and cultural techniques that you will want to use when you come to Japan. Ryotaro's Shopping channel is also back with Denim Kimono. It is unbeliebably easy to wear and it was somthing wanted but never thought existed. Hope you like it, too!
we miss you bro ... i hope you upload more frequent now.....
I am glad. I admit, I was concerned since it was a while.
I have never seen nor have I heard about denim kimonoko. I would love to try one on! The various Obi look beautiful.
Do native Japanese consider you Japanese? I would guess no since you were not born and raised in Japan.
@@kitsura why so negative... why are you even questioning Ryotaro's citizenship? if you don't like his content then don't watch nobody is forcing you.
The thing that surprised me the most was the adult adoption, I didn't know this was a real thing 😳
Maybe its time to....... adoption of Ryotaro 😁
Chris adopts Ryotaro to be officially called his dad.
@@sayantanmazumdar3 and who adopted Natsuki and Joey 🤔???
Why is there not a video on this?
@@sayantanmazumdar3 No. That is opposite so that he can me dad.
Fun fact: Chris' Showa-themed set was made just so that Ryotaro can model that kimono for a four-second vintage ad at the end :D
I kind of want to find whatever track is playing in that now, haha
@@Antman537 czcams.com/video/WTAPgY16IDY/video.html
you're welcome
@@Antman537 If you mean the song at the end that's Miki Matsubara's Stay With Me.
I know Chris once said (when asked about getting a "Ryotaro: the movie") that Ryotaro didn't really have a story to tell but I think he's way off base! He left Japan when he was 15 for 11 years! There's definitely a story to get into!
I agree. His movie would be very interesting. Where did he go..how did he feel?..then the return. How did he become a Bond Villian?
"It's not Japanese people that are weird. It's just local governments" - Ryotaro
Surprisingly a useful fact to know to understand Japan
"What is that man doing? Nobody knows" *Top ten questions scientists still can't answer.* I didn't know about the reverse parking bit, but it makes perfect sense now knowing the context. If there's a tsunami on its way or there's falling volcanic rocks or lava flow, you gotta bolt! Apparently, Japanese adult adoption began during the 13th century by Buddhists a part of Shin Buddhism, a school of Pure Land Buddhism (about achieving rebirth in a Buddha's pure land) which was founded in Japan, but it was then widely used during the Tokugawa shogunate/Edo period with the Samurai as you mentioned.
It's the same with noodles here in the DPRK. The DPRK has a cold climate, so buckwheat thrives here and is used to make our famous naengmyeon or cold noodles. Pyongyang naengmyeon in particular is considered a national dish as well as a symbol of peace as it was eaten during a DMZ summit between me and former ROK president Moon Jae-in in April 2018. Naengmyeon isn't spicy, but in the south, they add red chili paste mixed with the broth to make it that way. We also add potatoes because potatoes were promoted as an easy crop to grow with many uses by my father during the famine in the 90s. We even did a whole song dedicated to the potato called Potato Pride (seriously, look it up).
Hey Rocket Man!
よ！日本軍将軍金正恩様、そろそろ日本軍将軍としての身分を明かして行動ですかね？ロクでも無いスパイ始皇帝系のバビロンレビが日本国で活動していてうるさいのでね金日本国将軍氏も決断の時では？南が金をくすめ何でも貴国北朝鮮のせいだと広報を日本国内と南で盛んに言い逃れしていますしね。
Why you so mean, though?
Yo Kim! Sorry about what the CIA did to the DPRK.
Dear general Kim. I'm honored to learn something new about DPRK every time I release a video from the general himself. BTW Pyongyang naengmyeon is quite popular in Japan as well.
I absolutely love your videos and comedic style Ryotaro!
While a small thing but everyone parking in reverse actually surprised me, and is totally something I never would've picked up until seeing it up close in Japan.
Also let me tell you, I love your style more and more, these videos have so much humour and character in them. Not even Chris' videos have this kind of unique flavour. Keep them up!
(Also I'm convinced you secretly lived in Chris' studio the past two months he's been gone lmao)
The Ministry of Tourism should pay Ryotaro to make promotional videos. He's that good, and he never shies away from "embellishment".
For anyone curious, the large statue-facade at 11:58 is representative of a dogū (土偶). They're small humanoid and animal figurines made during the later part of the Jōmon period (14,000-400 BC) of prehistoric Japan, one of which was found in Tsugaru, Aomori! :)
Thank you for the information. That's fascinating. I'll look more into that!
The adult adoption was definitely the most surprising, but the noodle fact will definitely be the most useful. I love soba AND udon, so I want to get them from the best places!
What surprises me most Ryotaro's content doesn't pull in MUCH more viewers. Quality stuff, premium humor. Much like, very yes.
It will in time. Many people will have to hustle much harder to ge to 150k subs. The hard part is over.
There's superstitions about salt warding off evil spirits in the UK, too. And if you accidentally spill salt you have to throw some over your left shoulder to avoid bad luck. In ancient Mesopotamia it was flour instead of salt. I like the bit about everyone parking in reverse. It makes a huge amount of sense. I'm just amazed everybody actually follows the advice.
Probably has something to do with the preservation and flavour capabilities of salt.
It is illegal not to park in reverse. Also if you don't pump your brakes three times when slowing down, you will fail your driving test! This happened to me 🥺
Wow amazing studio! It really is kind of Rissotoro to share his filming space with young and upcoming Karaage enthusiasts like Chris A. Broad.
I just got back from Japan and I was surprised by the amount of jobs there are. They had like ten people at the airport who's job is to hold a sign pointing to the immigration line, they have a lot of old guys who's job is to stand in parking lot entrances and wave cars through, Kokugikan had a bunch of people who's job was to hold signs telling people to "eat in silence". Every construction crew had a lookout on the sidewalk, every business has a barker, and Akihabara is mostly populated by girls dressed as maids trying to get you to go to a maid cafe. I can't imagine how bored these people must get and how sore their legs are from standing around all day.
Bored and get paid is better than bored and no pay.
We have many of those kinds of jobs here in my third world country, the difference is that they don’t get officially paid 🙃
We were once called the most successful communist country and I guess still is.
@@peko7446 I get paid by the government for not working and is amazing
@@peko7446 tell me you've never been i that position without telling me
Previously I had heard that reverse parking was to make leaving safer for drivers and pedestrians. What surprised me was it also made "Running for the hills" faster. Thanks Ryotaro.
Love the last story with municipalities! I think the coolest idea was to manufacture that huge pot and prepare your local dish using an excavator. That is so dope! 😆
The salt thing is pretty common here in latin countries. It's a fairly regular (and funny) occurrence on the sports news when a football team leaves salt below the goalposts.
The part about the Soba and Udon noodles surprised me the most. I'll try to remember that if I go to Japan someday.
I could imagine that shouting loudly at the entrance it not about freshness but about being energetic to show the customers that they do their job with fervency
Great parking tip. I will start immediately on improving my reverse parking skills.
And I know now not to challenge anyone from Japan to a Reverse Parking competition.
The reverse parking was the first surprise I encountered when I went to Japan.
Thanks for promoting that denim kimono, I've been wearing mine for a week now looking like a proper weirdo in my home town of Turku, Finland (on average, people don't really have a clue about traditional japanese garbs here). People stare, but often compliment it, so a huge success in my books. Now I'm sad it was only a limited run. Today an army conscript came to me at the bus stop and said "really cool outfit, looks like you are some kind of star knowledge sage person".
Fun video. I was surprised that you didn’t also mention that a man may adopt another man as a substitute for getting married, since gay marriage is not legal in Japan. I was told by someone who would know that it is surprisingly common. Of course the reasons you mentioned about heirs and inheritance are also common, and perhaps more widely talked about.
Agreed
My mind is blown by the Furusato Sousei information. It explains so much. It’s interesting to see how each local government spent the money. This might be my favorite Ryotoro video. Thank you!
In the west, salt is also used to ward off evil spirits. But usually, the common theme is making a salt circle inside which you're safe or lining the doors with salt.
And throwing some salt over your shoulder for luck, and related, it’s bad luck to spill salt.
I think the salt thing is universal because we have that belief too here in South East Asia.
It's nice of Chris to lend you his set.
Or did you perhaps just used it, by kicking him out!
I think that he is taking care of his place until Chris is back from his world tour. giving him all the time to prepare and demand payment for his service. (just his soul will be enough)
I'm impressed Ryotaro. Your videos keep getting better, this one was really entertaining! Keep it up!
Your videos are hilarious as well as informative, well done Ryotaro I laughed so much during this video It was fantastic!
Great video ryotaro!
This is the kind of contents I was looking for ❤️
Thanks Ryotaro❤️
What a great video, Ryotaro!
Always fun to see a new one!
High five from 🇨🇦 !💗

Welcome back! Always smile when I see a Ryotaro video come up. :)
Great video Ryotaro
This video was nice! Calm, fun and informative.. also watching u going out and eating is also something we would love to watch ^^,
And what surprised me the most? That Chris didnt stick his head in the video when u used the studio xD
Ryotaro never disappoints, love the style and vid 🤣
Quite interesting. Awesome perspective to share!
Such an awesome video !
thanks for fun informative videos
Your videos are so good, I appreciate the focus on less commonly known topics, and your humour absolutely makes my day
Good to see you back. Thank you for the insights on Japan.
Yaaaaaassss!! New Ryotaro video!!🔥🔥🔥

I’ve seen so many Japan videos and this had so much new information, loved it!
surprisingly informative n funny at the same time
This was a fun video!
I miss you and your video man!, hope the 2023 will good for japan and Japanese people 👍
Very informational arigatou ryotaro san!
4:41 When everyone parks in reverse the one car that isn't really stands out. The picture is like Spot the tourist/gaijin or something.
Happy new year Risettoro!
It's always great if you can learn something useful while watching comedy. Glad to see something new from you!
Gotta love more Ryotaro! :) Always stylish, always funny. And always makes Chris' set look even better
I didn't know any of these things prior to watching. Super interesting and funny as always. Thanks, Ryotoro!!
That Citypop song at the end had me groovin'. Your channel is really maturing, I love your style and humor. Keep the great videos coming!
We have been blessed with a new video!
Loved the video .... greetings from Thailand 🇹🇭
Man, you're so funny! Lol just found your channel and I'm already a follower. Great work!
Thank you for the video. Interesting to learn about the weird side of Japan
wow your new studio look's really good mate !!!
Already the highlight of the week on my youtube.
It is my pleasure to hear that. Arigato!
Amazing ! Just found you’re channel i also agree the worker yelling makes me think the food is fresh ! ❤
1:04 "The big, loud voice shows the freshness of the food they serve." I'm not sure how A flows into B there, but okay.
What surprised me most was that your video was much better than Chris’s recent videos. Great job!
City pop was biggest reveal to me, the music that comes out of Japan in masterful
really innovative video
What surprises me is your honesty.
Very interesting !
The denim kimono is so interesting and unique! Wish I could get one but alas, bills need to be paid first. 😅👘
The beginning was awesome. laughed a lot
Very enjoyable video
I went to Japan earlier this year and stayed in Nagano for a few nights, had the awesome experience of making Soba Noodles at my Ryokan and it was so much fun, they were delicious!
Much love from Arizona 💜💜
the most surprising thing was how I hadn't heard of pretty much any of this. Well done!
This was so informative, and stupid……I REALLY LIKE YOUR STYLE!!
Great video Sir.
love the last section about saving the money to build interest!
Hey Ryotaro, YOUR new studio is looking great 👍 LOL
I was actually most surprised by the ending song. I love that one!
Another great video by the mighty R. Can I please have one denim kimono to pose for pictures in the shopping mall)))?
Wow. This is pretty interesting stuff.
I definitely love a Denim Kimono. honestly one of the first ads that immediately had my attention.
The production quality and script is of shockingly high quality for the debauchery I have seen you partake in previous videos. You are a man full of surprises Mr. Ryotaro.
それは本当に面白かったです！ビデオをありがとう。
Rytaro, I always love to watch your videos. I look forward to the next one you make. This one was very interesting, especially about dating and the weirdness.
For the evacuation thing, I was surprised you didn't put Godzilla in the mix. Not making fun, though I am suprised you have to worry about volcanoes.
You should totally appear on Champ's Japanese Kitchen!
Thanks for the udon/soba tip
Good video. The fact about the reverse parking is going to be good for showing off my big brain by randomly dropping into conversation.
I feel simultaneously educated and entertained. Thank you sensei.
Your set that you made is looking good
Great to see Mr. Slurpee uploaded.
Gidday. Great content in your video's keep up the good work I'm in Tasmania the beautiful island south of Australia ( Aussie state)
I'm calling it ! The next video is going to be an adoption day with Ryotaro!
Nice video as always!
Surprising but it makes sense: The Hometown Development money explains so much about things we've seen in the Journeys Across Japan and other videos you guys have done.
Love your comedy Ryotaro, thanks for the cultural lessons
I think you're the most clever Japanese youtuber I've ever seen. At least of those making videos in English. I laughed a lot. Subbed!
Brilliant! Actually learned unique cultural phenomenon I've never heard before. Unlike Chris' channel where he'll introduce you to Yakitori and driving on left hand side of the street... wow, how exotic 😂
Ryotaro-sama content getting better everytime he uploaded 👌👌👌👌
good stuff.
