"A life-changing experience can happen when experiencing another country"
5 years ago, it was my first time living in another country, Canada. Everything was new for me.
I met lots of people who had totally different backgrounds from mine. I lived with the local people and exchanged our cultural backgrounds. This is something that will be in my memory forever.
After experiencing everything in Canada, my perspective totally changed. I learned so much about cultural differences, including the good and bad. Also, I got to deepen my understanding towards Japan, which is my home country.
Now, I believe that "A life-changing experience can happen when experiencing another country".
I know Japan is an amazing country, and many foreigners dream about coming to Japan one day.
Our dream becomes the driving force that moves us forward.
My mission is to nurture your dream. Let me support you in making your dream come true.
Let's explore Japan together!

Can you the n4 past paper be given?
You can get some past papers of JLPT from the link in the description!
I really enjoyed this video! As a student, it was very helpful!
僕にとってJLPTの最大の欠点は、話さなくても合格できることです。実際、N1を除いて、このビデオの問題はすらすらと答えられるが、日本語で話そうとするとかなり大変！さっきの短い文章でも、間違いだらけだったに違いない。😅
私も！私は、日本語があまり下手じゃなくて、自分の考えは自分で書いたり伝えたりもあまりできないけど、JLPTの問題は大多数択一問題だから、合格が結構簡単だと思う。もし漢字を読んだり文がわかったりできたら、JLPTにとって十分だと思う。だからさえにJLPTレベルが高いのに、日本語がペラペラ話せる訳じゃないよね。
たしかに、JLPTの文章を読むことと実際に日本語で人と話すことは、全然違いますね😅 僕も英語のTOEICという試験を受けて、同じことを感じました。
likely wrong but interesting logic
that's a bit of a stretch
As a Chinese, I don't agree with you. The word 朝 is sun and moon in the middle, with grass or tree on the top and under, the sun rising above the ground while the waning moon is still in the sky. You should look at the oracle bone script from Shang dynasty (1600-1046 BC) if you really want to know why the Kanji is written like this. But I do like your bless and it is interesting that you explain the word in the same way as Yang Xiu.
Thank you for the information!!
Super Erklärung! Ich mag sowas!
Thank you very much!
Love your channel! How do you feel about the tourism situation in Japan? I see lots of discussion on social media about there being too many tourists because of the the yen. I went to Japan for 9 days in February and now I desperately want to go back this fall, but I don’t want to be a burden on anyone there.
Thank you for your comment😁 It's true that the number of tourists has increased. Famous cities such as Tokyo and Kyoto are full of visitors, but they are not the only spots in Japan. I don't think you have to worry too much about the tourism situation, you're a very considerate person! I hope you'll come to Japan and enjoy it!! Fall is personally the best season in Japan!
One thing I've always appreciated about this "History of Japan" video is the moment of silence the creator puts after the atomic bombs. The whole video is done like a joke even when some of the most brutal actions are taking place, but he doesn't joke about the atomic bombs. He delivers it the same as everything else at first but then he gives a moment of silence out of respect for what just happened. It's one of the many reasons this is an Internet classic.
I’ll always argue that the Japanese people and culture are the most unique and respectable group of humans the world has ever created. There’s a quote that I love “the Japanese are like everyone else…. But more”
My mother passed away a few years ago. She was re-located from Tinian to Sendai after the war. I’m trying to find her family so I looked for their last name using kanji letters 石ケ森 or 石ケ守 but should I use the other letters instead?
I'm sorry for that. Unfortunately, I have no idea about the last names. I hope you'll find her family🙏
すごい。
Thank you for this! I'm going to Japan in October. These phrases are helpful! Arigatou!
😁😁
I'd love to see ww2 oversimplified!
Oh wow this was the best explanation I've seen! And I've been (casually) studying Japanese for 20 years. Well done! I've subscribed~ Btw: in English the "いいね" button is actually called the "like" button, just fyi
Thank you! wow, 20 years is huge, you must be a very patient person!! Oh, I didn't know that. I appreciate your information, thank you so much😁
@@ryusei-from-japan Mostly I’m just a very distractible person 😂 But thank you!
I'm happy to find your channel
Sorry, Mister Ryusei. It's just bit of joke from meme of western. I knew all the history of nippon, actually that more than this ridiculous video.
The Japanese trusted the Kamikaze (divine wind) against the Mongols
I heard the act of bushido, the warrior code the Samurai lived by, the Samurai were like the feudal knights in Japan
6:16 lol, depression really made me laughed this time! Congrat on your 17k views on a video! (so far). I got really good at understanding ''how'' to learn japanese, but i've not yet really got into actually learning it... One of my reasons to learn japanese (other than you already said) is to enjoy hundreds of hours of visual novels to it's full potential. Yes there is translated game, but half of the immersion is lost because part of the immersion come from the work of japanese voice actors. I want to know how it really feel!
Thank you!! Your reason for learning Japanese is great, yes understanding the slight nuances in Japanese requires effort, but I believe it is worth it! Let's keep up with learning languages together :)
It's pretty amazing that less than 100 years ago, the U.S and Japan were vicious enemies that did horrible things to each other on the battlefield, and now Japan is one of our closest allies. Hope that never changes.
11:04 yes, it1s just a little bit "complicated" 11:38 "vesszen trianon" say some members from my country 13:28 his face tells everything also: US "the best country" --> also: "who droppped atomic bombe againts civilians for the first time?" America (f* yeah)
Your look after bombing like: "what? It happen?" Does kids be teached about this or it's says SU dropped it or what?
Also the most addictive Japanese phrase
You should do a series reacting to Shōgun! I'd be very curious to hear your thoughts.
I will!!
Nice―I can't wait! I've already subscribed and hit the notification bell. I think you'll be able to provide some great insight into the actual history behind the show's (fictionalized) narrative.
Ainu
You’ve got a good vibe about you, homie! Subbed. P.S., check out MF DOOM x Tatsuro Yamashita. It’s a remixed EP of the titular artists
Thank you! I will :)
Isoroku Takano Was the commander of the Imperial Japanese Navy and comes from a line of Samurai. Samurai are loyal to those they serve and is not custom to stab someone in the back unless you hired Ninja lol. But any way he challenged America and their best Naval fleet at Pearl harbor. The claim is America was aware but chose to ignore this threat. Franklin D. Roosevelt wanted the American people to join the war but they where not interested. A large part of the American Navy was scattered doing patrols around other parts of the world or war games away from Peral harbor ( Strange coincidence? ). In order for the American people to want to join the War some pieces of the chess board had to be sacrificed and it makes sense Pearl Harbor was to be it. Away from the American mainland Many Americans would want vengeance, do i need to remind you Isoroku was a Samurai He informed the American Government he was heading to there Navy fleet in Pearl harbor so was not a sneak attack! Samurai don't do this or they'll hire Ninja lol. www.iwm.org.uk/history/the-proposed-invasion-of-japan Here you see many attacks on Japan by the Allies including America and some failed badly leaving the Allies and the U.S. to come up with other plans to defeat Japan. As you can read here www.ohchr.org/en/instruments-mechanisms/instruments/geneva-convention-relative-protection-civilian-persons-time-war. This was an agreement signed not to attack unarmed civilians or bomb civilian targets intentionally during War. Yet America, the good guys, the Allies, the peace keepers of the world dropped two Atomic bombs over Civilians not military targets forcing Japan to Eventual surrender.
I liked what you said at the end about the peace in the Edo period. 200 years is long enough for many people to live entire lives, and they never experienced the war before. But we should not forget it can happen again. Humans return to war eventually. This is sad but true. I worry about the world now.
100% agree
Nice insight. I had no idea the Dutch lied to stay there. My wfie family lives in Tuskuba-mirai He left out my favorite Japanese Legend: God visited japan, went to mount fuji-sama to rest, but was turned away. Then he went to Mount Tsukuba, but was welcomed! The mountain even made himself into the shape of a hammock - for god to rest comfortably. The god cursed Fuji to be forever barren, dry, dead and lifeless, and Tsukuba to be forever filled with life. Wild, huh!? That' what the tour guide on Mt. Tsukuba told us.
There's also the whole fumie thing which supposedly only the dutch were willing to do (out of the christian foreign powers). I have no idea where I heard this so it might be completely wrong.
7:39 I think that`s a young Donald Trump
Japanese always seem to be surprised the video ends in the beginning of the Heisei era. What happened in the Heisei era? Besides the Sarin Gas attacks.
The Heisei Era was where everything began to stagnate. Again. The economic bubble burst and now people who got used to having everything going right needed to deal with life starting to become a little more shit like it is for most everyone alive.
Wow I thought russia’s warm water dreams were only for black sea. They chased that dream everywhere that they could huh. Lol
This is why japanese is an interesting language. Now, can you explain why the two kanji in the work Baka 馬鹿?
According to one theory, "baka" comes from the meaning of a person who cannot distinguish between a horse and a deer, indicating a fool. But, I suppose it's just one of the theories😂
3:14 thanks for explaining, I don't really get the 本 part since in my knowledge, it means a book or a counting for cylindrical things hahahah
It means "root" or "origin" as well. In fact, that could be it's primary meaning. Lots of words use that kanji, like honrai, honshuu, honsha, honki...
Nice video 👍🏽
Year is 2939 AI has conquered the world. 🤖 AI: the emperor can still be the emperor Year: 4039 Alien invasion overthrows the AI 👽 Aliens: the emperor can still be the emperor
Ryusei can you also add the romanised form of Japanese words. Like 1つ(iichi)
ok! (in this case, やばい is yabai)
@@ryusei-from-japan thanks sir
Then you end up writing 3000 stories for 3000 kanji AND also for their 628472940927392048294783020184 variations
Mongol invaders were wiped out by tornados or kamikaze (god wind). This gives the kamikaze pilots in WW2 the context i never knew. Thanks for the insight.
Typhoon, not tornado.
Yah, the history of the term kamikaze is one of those fascinating facts that I always enjoy seeing people connect the dots on for the first time
@@ThatsNotFunnyThatsSick nerd
Appreciate the insight into this little summary! Very neat!
So can 矛 and 槍 mean the same thing? Legit japanese learner question xD
I think they are almost the same😂
This was a very entertaining video and it is also very rare in the fact that unlike many others you added quite a bit on top of what he was saying 👍
Yeah the story method is really good. One of my favorite story is: Something will moving (動) even when a heavy (重) object is applied with enough power (力). When working (働), people (人, radical) will move (動). Or this: Parents (親) have responsibility to watch (見) their children by standing (立) on top of the tree (木)
Ohhhh good ones!!
With the current situation around the world, we need to more friendly and understandable with each other and respect each other for a better future.
Should we say Ichhi Tomaru Pls correct me if I'm not right.
一 is ichi and 止 is tomaru👌
@@ryusei-from-japanI got it..
Isn't 川 instead of 河, Or are they the same?
That is a great question. 川 is generally used in Japan to mean "river". 河 also means "river", but this kanji originated from China, where it indicated the "Yellow River 黄河", and 河 is used for a bigger river more specifically. However, most of the time in Japan, the kanji 川 is used even when referring to a big river. I chose 河 in this video for educational purposes. Thank you for your comment :)
