I understand what he means about feeling like a visitor in your home country. I live in Japan, but I’m from Canada. After 3 years of living in a new country, you will for sure have a reverse culture-shock experience when you visit home. You’ve been trying to be part of a different culture and understand it, things like everyday gestures, body language, and speech patterns start to change. Even your tastebuds change, food you used to like tastes different. Living in a different country is a really mind changing experience, you appreciate your home country, as well as things the new country does differently as well.

It is sort-of like my experience when I was stationed in Japan in the Navy. I spent my first few years of being an adult with money in Sasebo, Nagasaki prefecture, and it effectively impacted how I see the world. Some of my favourite foods are even a result of Japan. To this day, I still lament the lack of good Kyushu-style tonkotsu ramen, making the impact even regional. It was hard enough to find when I got stationed in Yokosuka afterward, and is now so impossible here in the States that I had to learn how to make it from scratch.

I'm 100% bloodline Japanese, but was born in America, Los Angeles in fact. There is a huge amount of racism here. I ran into it all the time. Less from whites, more from blacks. The black men are very sexually aggressive and I've had blacks try to shame me, to use me. In college the Feminists are very aggressive and pushy. The crime is everywhere, some of my friends have been attacked, and you cannot leave anything visible in your car. When I meet people who are Republicans, they're very nice... Democrats are demons who hate and get violent. I finished my Doctorate degree in the bay area, and it's easily as bad and filthy there. I left for the Seattle area and it was much better, but the blacks are still aggressive. There will be a civil war here because of the LEFT versus the RIGHT. Finally, I suggest you carry a gun, and train with it, I do.

Finally we are in the Time Zone !!!!! Your videos have improved over times !! Great job

This was a really nice interview. Takashi-san I can tell is also getting really smooth with his interviewing skills. Keep these videos coming!

My family is so impressed with both of you guys’ English! Love from “the country part” of the USA!

Great conversation. As someone who’s lived in LA my whole life, I’m glad the city has treated Yuto well. It’s very brave of him to go from a small town to LA. I hope you both find success. Great channel🤘🏽

Yuto probably just really got used to the diverse environment in America. California is great when it comes to being diverse, in my experience. I can’t speak for other states cause I haven’t been out of California since I was a child. I’m glad to hear Yuto has been here three years and hasn’t experienced racism. I hope he continues to enjoy himself here and that you, Takashii, get to have the same experience and more.

What a fantastic interview. Loved it.

Takeshi - I REALLY enjoy your questions and the topics. You are on the road to success!!

Okay yay you made it that’s so awesome!!! I also really liked hearing his perspective and I found his thoughts very interesting. I thought it was so interesting that he feels more at home here now than he does in Japan. I am also excited to check out his future projects! Movies from Asia can be so unique and awesome so I’m excited that he wants to bring Japanese movies to more be more mainstream in America.

Great video and interview! Glad you asked him some important questions. One thing I would have liked was more social questions, like how easy it was to make friends and date

very good video! you finally made it to USA!

I ended up changing my major in college that gave me the opportunity to travel to Japan, and I’ve been wanting to move abroad so I’ve been binge watching all your videos to learn more about the culture and social morals. I’m so very glad I found this channel, cause hearing these things from the people who actually live there and are everyday people it will certainly teach you more than any book or article

Whenever I meet someone coming to the US for the first time and hear what they think, I always like to tell them that the US is a big country and different parts of it are drastically different from each other. In racial demographics, suburban/urban/rural social culture, geographic landscape, political climate, etc. As someone who grew up in southern Georgia and moved to southern California in high school, I can say the variety in the US is so much, it’s almost like you’re in a whole other country just going from one state to another.

the quality of your channel is growing day by day.. looking forward to seeing more foreign videos from you soon..

Watching your videos after a tiring day is really Good thing 🤍🌏✨

Nice to see Takashi expanding outside of Japan. The future is bright for this man! Go Takashi!

What a journey, Takashi-san!! This is only the beginning, and I can't wait to see what comes next!

Wow great video !!👍

Thank you so much Takashii for all your videos and wonderful content. Aloha from Oahu, Hawaii!

Safe travels Takashii!

Two fully japanese guys talking in english in america lol love it This interview was awesome and yuto has an awesome story, thanks for sharing!

Its such a transition from a collectivistic society like Japan and Yuto appreciated more the individualistic society and perspective. There are many values I appreciate from a collectivistic society like emphasis on family importance and community but I like the individual perspective to have your own ideals and wants and to have your own opinion. So I understand that Yuto likes to have his own ideals. I really respect that about him. People are not robots, they should be able to freely express their ideals without repercussions or be frowned upon for it.

Omg have fun in LA!!!! But Yuto is well spoken and I wish him all the success 💗

I really enjoyed this video

I live here in LA, I’m already a subscriber so it’s so cool to see your video in my city! I used to live on the west side on Sawtelle and there’s a large Japanese community there with stores and restaurants which is great to check out. I’ve worked in the film industry in post production and animation and the teams are really diverse with people from all over the world, America, Europe and Asia. I’ve learned so much about different people and cultures in this city

It's very rare that a Japanese person doesn't finish High School, and to understand this, their schooling is 10 times better than in the states. The students start at 10 years old, they go to about 3 schools, and they know more than most at 18. In Japan, uni life is all about doing things you love or want to do and having a bit of fun before the hard work of a Salaryman comes. So having this interview of someone saying, I'm out of here and moving to LA, is very interesting, and I enjoyed this video very much. I have many good memories of living in Japan now. Thanks for the insight!

Wow 🙂 22 and so mature , and well spoken, so honest. I hope he makes his dreams come true. Great interview , from experience from living in another country. Going back to visit your home , I definitely can relate to his feelings and thoughts. 🌺💞

Konnichiwa from 🇺🇸! It’s so cool to see the contrast between American and Japanese culture. I’ve lived in the northeast my whole life (Connecticut) but I have traveled outside of the US as well. Never been to Asia, only the Americas/Caribbean. (Canada, Jamaica, Costa rica, Panama, Belize). I so look forward to one day visiting Asia and Japan specifically. My brother does too…he’s a HUGE anime fan and loves JRPG’s like Final Fantasy lol thanks for this!

Being abroad is really special for Japanese people. Most people just get used in like 3 days, but Japanese people take a lot of time. They go all "am I Japanese? Or am I xyz? What's my identity?" because of the tribal mindset they learn when they are kids. Congrats Yuto 🙂

I wish Yuto much success with his goals here in the US. His initiative is impressive!

I love this video thank you so much for making it I love you too your videos are always so good and informative I am from America I live in what we call the South in Alabama we have our ups and downs good and bad just like anywhere else in the world I will definitely check out his movie can't wait to see the video from where you go to New York thank you again for everything you do God bless

You can tell how passionate he is about his career. I know he can do everything. Is like his spirit is telling us “No one can stop me from achieving my dream.” Thats the attitude i want to apply for my self also.
