I got so angry I threw my scissors at him
They are a hopeless case.
So we fought because they would not come to see me
That is heart-breaking - It was
Hey guys and girls welcome to the Ask Japanese channel my name is Cathy Cat
I am your flashy fashion reporter and today...
We are gonna talk about why Japanese people never get angry
they seem to be very kind and quiet but that might not be true and they might actually be super angry at you for something you did
and you won't notice until you've watched this video till the end. So let's go and Ask Japanese
Were you ever so angry that you broke something? Like fighting with you parents?
My older brother would like tease me a lot like only boys do and I got angry at that
so angry that I threw some scissors after him
My brother stood here, there was a pillar here, and it struck the pillar right there.
What? - If it had gone differently I might have killed my brother
That was such a dangerous moment
Did you never fight again after that? - Never again, he really regretted it
Tell me when you were angry recently?
Oh yeah I got one. There are men on the train who come closer like that
especially if you go onto the really crowded trains
So many people push on these trains so it is like oh oh oh
You couldn't say anything then? - I could not
But our faces will be like ew
Too close for comfort - And they stink
I don't let my anger out
Was she every angry at you?
Never right? - Never
I don't get angry anymore, I just want peace
Angry? Earlier at the station there was an older lady
She had a big bag and I tried to avoid it but she slammed it against me
I would not openly get angry at her but I did not appreciate that
You could not even tell her to cut it out? - Nah well
She just ignored me - What
Was she Japanese? - She was
Pain and anger - yeah
I went to a live performance and on the seat there was some bag already
The person in front moved and then all those bags fell over
right when the live performance was happening
Right at the moment when my favourite idol had a solo, all those bags scattered on the floor
And due to that I missed my darling's solo. That made me so angry.
At the most important moment! - Yes and the people in front didn't even notice
Nothing happened and it ended. But at home I was still angry
Where I work, there are some customers that act like they're something better
I once was asked to refund the sushi they had eaten because it was yuck. I was like...
What?!
I usually do not get angry ... but they had eaten it all and asked us to pay for it
I had to apologise anyways though
Was that a Japanese person? - Yes
I hear that from abroad but not in Japan - It exists!
That is what annoyed me the most recently
Do you have to refund that then?
Well it was a lie, since they ate it all right?
So I said they have to pay for what they ate and they said "What the heck?"
Do you call you manager for that?
I will ask my senior, but if it gets too heated, we will call the manager
When I was crossing the crossing just now, there was an older lady on a bike
and she crashed into me.
Were you ok? - I said "It hurts!"
Did she appologize? - Not at all she just drove on
She won't apologise at all - Yeah
What? What happen to the Japanese kindness!? What is going on?
We are promoting our channel OjiQ right now
We are 4 Youtubers
I love anime a lot and when I was in primary school I was recording my favourite show
When my little brother deleted it, was the angriest I ever got in my entire life
What happened then? - Well I was still in primary school
I screamed "What the heck are you doing!?"
What anime did your brother delete? - It is called Digimon
I failed at a game I was playing and threw down the device... and that deleted my save game
We got too much homework. At school. It pisses me off.
I have a friend who is always late when we are supposed to meet up.
She said "tomorrow I will definitely NOT be late!"
When it was out meeting time, I could not reach here and later a call came
"I fell asleep again"
The had set up an alarm
and had asked another friend to give her a call to wake her up
But her alarm clocks were all broken and her friend overslept too
So all her things in place did not work out and she was late again
The apologised and I forgave her but...
But when she didn't come at first, I was pretty fed up with her.
She... often is late?
She is pretty loose with her time management.
I said before "You will be late again tomorrow right?"
and she said "Tomorrow I will definitely not be late!" and I believed her
But then he was late again
In all of my time knowing her, she has never been on time.
Wow that would make friends be fed up with her
How late is she generally?
Not like an hour or so
One hour is too much girl
Only like 30 minutes - 30 MINUTES?!
I am used to that already, so I sometimes am late on purpose too
I told her "I will come later too then"
She said "I will be on time" so when I messaged her "I arrived"
she wrote "I am still at home!"
She's a hopeless case.
Instead of getting angry at her, I feel like crying
I will start feeling like "I have had enough"
That's cute
Abroad, people would throw their feelings in her face in a passionate way
"cut the carp!"
I annoyed me when the person behind me stepped on my heel
It got me angry and I got quite agitated
I might even have clicked my tongue
Since you are Youtubers like me
What annoys you about Youtube?
About Youtube?
There are a lot of comments about me like "We don't need you here"
I hated that. Everyone would feel that way.
I am only human, if you tell me that it will piss me off
But when I continued YouTube I learned to not care anymore
This is a typical Youtube thing but the editing takes so much time
Editing is pretty tough. So when people criticise my editing...
I might agree but I also think, it was way harder than they thought.
What is the toughest about being a Youtuber?
We are a team of 4 so making plans and arranging it all
That is a bit difficult
We get along well, but we are all different humans right?
No matter how well you get along, it is hard to all come together to agree
I think his Akira T-shirt is weird
What the... cut it out dude.
Akira is popular right? - Abroad it is
Right! No but we all get along
You don't look like you do, but have you ever lost your temper?
Lost my temper? For real?
We try not to care too much - We do not get angry
You both have a super beaming smile too
I don't get angry - We don't care about what people say
So that's why I don't get angry
When you feel agitated, how do you keep so calm?
I sing and listen to music
- Dance - Run
What is your stress-release tune then?
Bruno Mars - Oh Bruno Mars
Ariana Grande
So western pop is helping you Japanese girls stay calm? - Yeah
What is your best stress relief song?
Wow I have so many
Ariana Grande's Baby I - Baby I
I listen to this person a lot - Ah Nelly Furtado
I listen to "do it" a lot
Nelly Furtado's "Do it" - Ariana Grande
Thank you next - I listen to it a lot
Have you ever lost your temper?
If you say it that way, maybe not so much
Maybe not at all
Nope
Japan is very peaceful
I used to do baseball and there were situations where we all had different opinions
But rather than a fight, it is for the sake of us winning
I don't think that's a fight
Since you all have the same goal - yes
Peaceful
Have you ever fought with your parents so hard that you broke something at home?
In middle school I had a rebellious phase and me and my mum had an argument
I hit a hole into the wall.
Scary!
Sounds like from an anime
She might be the smallest but she is probably the strongest here
Let her protect you next time
I used to have a table that had a glass tabletop so you could see what is underneath
I have smashed that glass tabletop once.
Do you remember why?
I got told I am coming home too late from cram school
My cram school schedule is decided right?
But when I went home straight from cram school my mum told me off for being late
Hold on your mum is the one who made you go to cram school in the first place right? - Yeah
I think you had the right to be angry - You were in the right
I have an older brother an he is really good at baseball
Even though I did basketball too, my mum would only go to my brother's tournaments
So we had a fight once, why she would never come to see my matches.
That is heart breaking!
She would come then...
but she would barely take pictures of me, and only for me, there were barely any videos of me playing
So we had a big fight about that.
That time I kicked the sliding screen and it fell over
which caused a mess in my home
But my dad fixed it
Not ninja stars but scissors might be flying if you really upset a Japanese person
ideally do not get to that point guys. You know, know their limit
A lot of Japanese people in the video said they were angry but they didn't say anything
So please do not take advantage of that
it is just them, holding their feelings in, trying to do the right and the mature thing
Doesn't mean that you should do that.
Ideally you should watch your manners before you come to Japan
There are a couple of rules that foreigners don't know.
Check out our Manner video to find out which rules you should know before you come to Japan
Otherwise Japanese people might hate you and you won't know and think everything is great because they might not tell you.
