    Toru-san, something that really impressed me about Takashii-san is that in one of his videos he was willing to go to the slums of Nishinari and chat with the homeless people there. That's not common for many Japanese people and it touched my heart.

    Takashi is like "yeah don't go to my hometown, so boring" 😆. That's how I feel about where I grew up lol

    @keithtorgersen9664 Před rokem +25

    I like the reversal here, Takashii-san is so kind to put English subtitles when he is translating a Japanese interview or another foreign language. I see that you are doing the same for your Japanese audience, that's very thoughtful.

      And if you're not Japanese, it's pretty decent reading practice, even if you can only understand some of the Kanji or can't read super fast.

    Nice interview, guys. I'm glad there are channels like this. I absolutely love watching Takashii from Japan. I never miss a video post.

    This interview was great! I've subscribed to TAKASHii's channel for months and until now only saw him ask questions to other people. This is the first time I learned some back story to Takashi's life and it was very interesting. I like how he started his CZcams channel to avoid Japanese corporate salaryman life. Good call.

      That was based. More people are rejecting the office bug life in favor of something meaningful. I respect it

    What a great interview. Both interviews on both channels were great

  • @Gurugurustan
    @Gurugurustan Před rokem +18

    I think the concept of Toru channel is really cool - - Japanese who lived in states for 10 years re learning about Japan and its culture.
    Also very cool to hear Takashii's hopes and dreams in an interview.

    @serendipitous6 Před rokem +6

    Also not many videos on Japan and Japanese culture coming from Japanese people who speak English. That's a huge value added because we get the perspective from the the source. Thank you both.

    @helenalopes5382 Před rokem +6

    Hi Toru! I found your channel through his video about you, I really like his videos but it's nice to finally hear from Takashi his opinions/experiences instead of just those of the interviewees for a change. Cute when he said he started youtube to make cash 🤣
    Greeting from Portugal to both of you!

    Can't believe Takashi is 2 years younger than me. I thought he is in his 30's.

    • @starchild4013
      @starchild4013 Před 7 měsíci +2

      Meanwhile I can’t believe I’m the same age as him, I thought between the way he acts and looks I also thought he was in his 30’s. I swear it’s the haircut 😂

  • @commentarytalk1446
    @commentarytalk1446 Před rokem +6

    Sukajan... I did not know the name. It is a really interesting idea to go into apparel.
    The current image if there is one of Sukajan as far as I know, is a retro-look from the 1980's? It reminds me of an old arcade video-game called Double-Dragon or Biker-Gangs like Hell's Angels with some wicked picture on their leather jacket backs and mullet hair-styles etc.
    If it were updated: An interesting challenging, it might need a reconceptualization of the essence of the idea to gain traction in fashion interest. There is a definite interest in the "hip people" in the city I used to work in, London (UK) where every individual is trying to dress to be "unique". I think there's always room for such innovative ideas therefore in fashion if done with skill, style and insight !
    The shiny fabric + Sukajan might not work nor imagery that is to garish. If that is so, then perhaps an alternative or opposite approach might lead to results. I especially think such different tone of colours and using Yōkai (妖怪, "strange apparition") might gain a lot of interest if done with depth of background and new formulation of picture creation as part of garment that feels natural (maybe even natural fibres)?
    Thank you for the interview, Mr. Ushikado. You have the actor's grace to make people feel at ease even more so than the talented Mr. Takashi.

    • @ToruUchikado
      @ToruUchikado  Před rokem +2

      Thank you for writing your thought! I'm sure TAKASHii will be reading your feedback on Sukajan! Whether it's Sukajan or not, I hope he actually starts his brand someday so we can all wear it!

    Wĥat a coincidence!

    If I see you practicing with a bokuto, I'll probably ask you who your sensei is, and where you train. I was sorry to hear that you experienced some nasty interaction in the US, but I'm not surprised. It was interesting to see the camera turned the other way for Takashi. Thank you for the excellent interview. Have subbed.

    • @ToruUchikado
      @ToruUchikado  Před rokem +1

      Thanks for subbing! And yes most cases are like that actually. People get curious and ask me those questions I’m happy to answer. It’s just one woman who went ballistic.

    I wish more japanese people actually went to other areas instead of LA or NY. Like yeah, that's america's most dense population areas, but i wouldn't really consider those the actual "american" experience.

      Looking back going to Missouri was the best choice for me. To learn the language and also to experience the culture!

    (7:54) I am not surprised. Although many people fantasize about living abroad, they are used to their countries culture. Unless the other country has a similar culture, people may get tired of living in a new country long term.

  • @honkhonk6359
    @honkhonk6359 Před rokem +1

    Interesting observation he made at around 6:05. White people were indeed the overwhelming majority race in all states of the US up until the last 2 decades or so. If Takashii went to California or NY in the 80s it probably would have been closer to his expectations. I'm assuming he got his impression of America from watching older classic films like Godfather or The Graduate?

    • @AyueKodamaes
      @AyueKodamaes Před měsícem

      White people still the majority in the South and in power positions everywhere.

    • @VanessaSouza-rz8uo
      @VanessaSouza-rz8uo Před 22 dny

      Well,the majority population in the USA still white tho. I think a lot of Mexican immigrants arrived recently(Mexican not necessarily mean person of color, there are Mexicans who are white). But those people always seems to claim Mexican nationality even if they born in the USA, for reasons that I don't know why, lmao.

    Japan is so futuristic and so outdated at the same time. How people with tattoos are not allowed in hot springs is beyond me
