The Japanese people around me know that too!
Exactly! Japanese people know what the F word or the B word is!
They were definitely not Japanese
If you think so then don't come to Japan
The foreigners took your picture? - I think they did
Ok
Hey guys and girls on Ask Japanese it's your flashy fashion reporter CathyCat
Today we are gonna go ask the Japanese people on the streets of Tokyo
what the BEST or WORST foreigners are that they met here or know about
YOU don't want to be one of the worst so let's find out what it is and what we can avoid and ASK Japanese!
Did you meet any nice foreigners on your travels?
If they bump into you they apologise properly
That's different to Japanese people
There are people who don't greet me at all, so I think foreigners are kind
Some people don't talk in Japan?
Yeah like - like "ah" like that
They just go like "ah"
Foreigners actually say "sorry" out loud, I think that's kind
If foreigners are lost, they will openly talk and ask for help
They will say "I don't understand this" and I thought it was amazing that he would answer me so politely.
Japanese people don't say things out loud?
True, they will only apologise in a very quiet voice
very subtle
If you are asking for the way, I would prefer you to just go for it.
I'm doing the cyber bunny channel
I also do tiktok and Instagram @the real cyber bunny
Please tell me who is the best foreigner and the worst foreigner?
Then the worst foreigner is the one with the loudest voice
Americans especially
Men who use the F word or the B word at a restaurant are no good.
Sorry I dislike that
They use too much dirty language?
Sorry men who use the F word and B word, i cannot spend time with.
Also all Japanese people around you will know what they are saying.
Japanese people all know what the F word and the B word means
I also don't like it when people can't read the room
People who can't read the room - Yeah reading the air
In what sort of situation?
When walking, I don't like it when people block the way and bother other pedestrians
It doesn't matter if you are a man or woman, if you only see yourself.
You would like them to notice that everyone walking has a direction like left and right
Right, it's not just about yourself, it's the people around you
Be cautious of the people around you
How about people who take pictures of you without asking?
Foreigners do that a lot but I gave up by now.S
Gave up on those non-permission photo takers? - yeahDS
When I wear my bunny style, I gotta accept that people will take pics without permission
I gave up. Just take pictures of me whatever.D
True right now we just gotta give up
I sometimes do not feel that cute, sometimes I put on makeup and go out in cute style. I am only human
I am a bunny but inside I am human too.
We were just talking about non-permisson photos, that that is literally going on right now.
There are already 3 now. Wow.
The other day I was on the train and there was a banana peel on the floor
I am pretty sure that was not from a Japanese person
First of all they ate that banana on the train
Have you ever seen someone eat a banana on the train? - never
NeverD
When I went to Hawaii, I got asked if I want star sand. I said I did not.
for some reason, it was forced into my bag - Did they take your money?
don't remember, but I think they did
when I was working part-time at McDonald's, we serve the Big Mac in a box, and I got an
order to wrap it in that paper, but it was a little crowded
When I handed it to him and asked him to do it himself,
suddenly he unfolded the Big Mac at the counter
the same counter where everyone takes their orders! That was bad.
That's unhygienic - It's a little unsanitary,
he was also in the way of everyone else
I thought "No way that dude!" and then had to wrap it for him in the end
That was weird
Who takes out a big mac right there?
There are many foreigners who just stand in the middle of the street or around the station, like today
I wish they would have their conversations more on the side or in the corner
There are some people who don't seem to realize they are blocking the whole traffic by standing around.
Yeah those.
I work in an izakaya bar
I am not cooking the food, but when i served the food the foreigners said "it tastes bad"
I thought "well then don't come"
Did you say that out loud? - No I had to appologize
And said I will bring them something tastier next
If I don't apologize there, things can get worse
I was shocked to see a foreigner just lied down all over the priority seats
What? Was he sleeping? - He was
All over the priority seats? - Exactly
Was he drunk? - Probably super drunk, it was late at nightD
Any stories of things that foreigners did that made you sad, that you didn't want them to do?
Not that I know - Not yet
I actually want foreigners to be more outgoing. Japanese people only do what everyone does
Now that we have so many more foreigners in Japan, Japan might become a more outgoing country
I work at part-time at a restaurant, but when a foreigner comes to visit,
instead of leaving everything up to the staff, they try to tell them something themselves , and I don't know what it is, but
they try to tell me something in broken Japanese. I think it's important to try to convey something with all your might.
and I think it's cute. I thought foreigners really have the strength to tell what they want to do.
Looking at everyone who is walking around is quite good, and my impression is that Japanese people
only wear what was popular at that point in time
and when it is over, they will not wear it anymore and tell other people they are late for the trends
foreigners do not seem to mind and wear fashion that is already out of style for a while
They defined the items that the want to wear and walk around in style
That made me realize that a trend is just another word.
I like that they do not rely on whats trendy at the time as much
I look at people and get inspired what to wear myself\
They gave me ideas what to wear in the future
Trend is a thing you can create for yourself anytime
That's right
Foreigners know how to wear what they like without worrying so much about what other people think?
Yeah - I think that is so cool
I just saw a foreign couple that was holding hands
I thought it was wonderful.
Would you like to try it?
Quite a few Japanese people sit on trains, but many foreigners give up their seat or stand up
I think there are a lot of foreign people who stand
thought it was kind of nice
They stand up for other people - I like that
What about guys who give up their seats for grandmas?
That is cool and will make my heart beat faster
You said you liked seeing the couple holding hands
Do you not see many Japanese couples doing the same?
The more people there are, the less people hold hands
We do not hold hands for a long time
only for a short time?
I have not seen many grandpa and mas walking holding hands
True... - Only young people
Foreign tourists are getting more and more these daysD
Please tell me about the best foreigner you ever saw or met
I saw a skinhead that had things tattooed on their scalp
That was so cool
In Japan we are still quite stiff and against tattoosD
But I think people who wear it as their own fashion are cool
I thought he was wonderful
They know who they are - So cool
From the viewpoint of a Japanese person who wants to have a small tattoo, how did he make you feel?
He made me want to have more tattoos
He encouraged you - He didD
Everyone says that Japanese people are kind right?DD
I think there's a special kindness that's just one step above
They are warm - What makes you feel that way?
It is nothing I did or saw, but more stuff I have seen on the internet
influencers will talk about different races and different countries
When I saw those videos I realized how kind some people are
Like when there is a person in trouble, they will talk with them
They will not ignore it
In Japan many people are shy and might not know if they should approach? - yeah
When I went abroad, I had a really big suitcase
I stood in front of the stairs, giving up how to get it up there and from behind a man said "I will carry it for you"
He carried it up. That was so cool of him
Great foreigner - Best foreigner!
Were was that? - The UK
Oh a British Gentleman
My heart beat faster
This is a different type of story but when I went to Guam I went to a club
One guy chatted me up and we had a couple of nice drinks together, that's my good story
Sounds like fun
Very fun, do men chat you up in Japan too?
If they did, I would not drink with them
You preferred the kind abroad?
It was fun - What is different?
I feel like I can open up more too
It feels less like they have ulterior motives
I hear that a lot recently.
Foreigners get close easily. They seem very kind
Abroad people hug people when they hi right?
Compared to Japan that is quite kind
I like how free foreigners are
What freedom? Fashion or such?
In Japan we have many pre-decided notions of how things are supposed to be
Abroad seem to not have that, I envy that
So you like that they are more carefree?
There are many foreigners here who wear what they want too
Foreigners seem to know how to have fun too
There are times when my camera has some foreigners behind me in the shot, they will always make a peace signD
behind you when taking a selfie? - yes
There is a foreigner at my part time job
He always sounds like he is angry
Japanese way of speaking is really soft
You have many soft sayings, compared to that foreign languages can sound quite rough
Yeah
We recently had a worst foreigner experience, she was taking sneaky pictures from the other side of the street which is like a no no
You shouldn't take sneaky pictures of people
I was like "hey lady hi, I speak your language, come on over say hi and ask for a picture"
Then she stood there, did this (in my face) and said "don't worry I am not gonna ask you"
Then she walked off and I was like what the hell?
Why are you being so confrontational Karen
That was unnecessarily aggressive
Little bit of kindness and politeness goes a long way so before you come to Japan
please know some of the manners that exist here, if you don't know them yet
we have helped a lot of people know about Japanese manners, check out this video here
for manners in Japan, seriously
A lot of the people who come say hi to us on the streets of Tokyo have watched this video
You should really check it out too before you come to Japan
Thanks for hanging out, this was CathyCat and I catch you soon, bye~
