I would like to become a person from Northern Europe.
Korea or from the Philippines.
I want to look half Japanese.
I want to do some muscle exercise and create and live in a muscular body.
Hey guys and girls on Ask Japanese this is Cathy Cat.
Today I am gonna go and ask Japanese people
If they are reborn, would they like reborn as a Japanese person or
as a foreigner and as girl or boy?
So let's go and Ask Japanese.
If you were reborn would you like to be Japanese or foreign.
I would like to be Japanese.
Whenever I go abroad I always just think how good Japanese food is.
That makes me glad I was born and raised in Japan.
Abroad is more a place to have fun traveling to.
What food makes you glad you are alive.
Tempura and Gyuudon Beef bowls are super tasty.
If you were reborn, would you like to be a girl again?
I like cute things so I would like to be a girl again.
How would you like to look like?
I would like to look half-Japanese.
Half Japanese and half...?
European or American... where people have tall noses and pale faces.
I would like to become white person.
I think people from France look super cute.
Yes France and Europe is good.
So if you become French, what would you look like?
I want to be super pale white.
Girl or boy? - Girl.
I would like to be a girl. - And your hair?
I want long blonde hair.
I want to have super blue hair.
If you were to become a person like that, what would you like to do in Paris?
I want to sit in a fancy cafe and drink by myself.
I would like to become a foreigner.
Where do you want to be from?
I want to have a sporty body. So I would become Brazillian.
Or South America. I want to be muscular.
That would be great for me.
What would you do if you were reborn like that?
I want to do some muscle exercise and create and live in a muscular body.
So you're become a muscular dude. Why not a soccer player?
I don't think I'll be able to do that.
Nevertheless I love soccer.
I want to become a foreigner. - Where from?
I would like to be Spanish or Italian.
And of course I would like to be handsome.
I want to become popular and I admire foreigners built.
If you were reborn like that, what would you do?
I first would like to be more Italian.
Suits look really good on foreigners.
Wearing those suits what would you do?
I want to walk around town.
Would you chat up girls?
I would not.
Girls might come up to you instead
If I become an Italian guy I would expect that to happen in town.
I want to become a foreign boy.
Right. - I want to be popular.
I want to be popular.
Where do you want to be from?
Italy. Italy would be nice.
They are cool. Blue green eyes. Italian and short hair.
I wanna go and play with the girls.
Will you become a womanizer? - I will become a womanizer.
I definitely just wanna be a Japanese person.
Why so?
Japan is a very wonderful place.
I want to be reborn again in Japan and be raised here.
Do you both want to be girls or boys?
I want to become a handsome guy in Tokyo.
I want to be a Japanese girl, just like I am.
Why so?
We are very sensitive to people's emotions. I think that way.
It's weird I am saying that....
But I would like to live once in one of the southern countries.
Live there as Japanese. - Yes.
I envy people with beautiful blonde hair.
So would you become Japanese or foreign?
I want to become a foreigner from Northern Europe.
Pale skin and bronze hair. And then blue eyes.
It would be easier to change my hair to different colors.
Which country exactly do you want to be from?
Girls from Ukraine are so beautiful.
I would like to become one.
In Ukraine they have a traditional way of braiding the hair.
They braid them and then put them up together on the back. I wanna do that.
Because with blonde hair it will even look better.
I think people from the Philippines are charming.
I want to go to the ocean and relax there.
Do you wanna be a girl or boy?
- I think being a boy might be nice. - A handsome one?
That would make me happy.
I would like to be Japanese again.
What would you like to look like?
I would like to become an idol singer in the Johnny's group.
Like Tegoshi I want to call all the girls my little kittens.
I want to think of all of them as if they are my girlfriends.
I want to treasure them.
Well be sure to give it a go!
If it was possible to do that, that would be nice.
We got your next life all set for you there.
I would like to be half Japanese.
I see. Half Japanese and half....?
Japanese and Korea or the Philippines.
I would like to be a boy.
What life would you life then?
I would play around. - With girls?
That's right. - Wow.
I would stay over every night at their houses.
Shouldn't the three of you create a boy idol group?
We all become part of the Johnny's idol entertainment.
I want to be half Japanese and have beautiful skin.
And have big eyes. Blue eyes.
- What country should I pick? - So where should your second parent be from?
One part Japanese and one part European.
Where in Europe?
Europe? Anywhere where the people look cute.
A country where the girls are cute and the boys are handsome.
If you were half Japanese, where would you like to live?
Japan is very safe so Japan would be great.
I will live in Japan.
She said she would like to drink coffee in a cafe, what do you want to do?
I will make Japanese tea ceremony tea and drink that.
Japan. I love Japan. Doing a tea ceremony.
We have so many ideas now, what would you choose.
I want to become Arianna Grande. - Wow that's skyrocketing
She is cute, she has great style.
She can sing and dance.
I want to become the center of attention like her.
I want to go to our family home abroad... and then...
go for lunch and shopping with other famous people.
Wow what a gorgeous lifestyle.
I want to become Japanese.
Why so?
I am actually a foreigner. I am Chinese.
If you became Japanese, what would you like to do?
If I were to become Japanese I would like to eat nice food.
Go and try food from different places.
I want to eat sweets. Japanese sweets are very nice.
What are your favorite sweets - I like cheesecake.
And Taiyaki. And Crepe.
So you become Japanese and eat a lot of tasty stuff.
Those were our questions. Thank you.
So we asked people what they would like to be reborn as.
Some said they wouldn't mind switching genders.
Some said they would like to be the ideal or stay Japanese.
The ideal is generally....
What I can see its mostly what you see in movies, tall blonde hair...
beautiful hair waving in the wind...
Very popular kind of stuff.
Or muscular and strong and stuff.
Before making this ending I was thinking about ....
what I would like to be reborn as...
And that's really hard to say. I think it doesn't matter what
visual appearance you are born as,
what matters is what you do with your life yourself.
Of course beautiful people have it in life a little bit easier.
because they maybe get treated differently.
But at the same time I think it really matters
how you work at yourself
so for example I...
I was the ugly duckling in my class...
I wasn't popular at all...
But what I did a lot in that time was I did my own drawings, my own stories...
and certain things like that and then later I started doing cosplay and stuff
It took me a long time to see myself as...
cute or something like that. It took me a very long time and I think...
Visual appearance depends on you and what you value.
You don't have to be reborn as a beautiful person...
in order to do certain things in life. I think you should do them right now.
That's one of the things I find really important.
That is actually what I think. I can't tell you what I'd like to be
of course everyone would like to be super attractive
and have long wavy hair and super skinny
and stuff like that, but there are many things you can just do just you by yourself
I am rambling...
How do you think about that?
Would you like to be reborn as...
a different person from a different place?
Or would you like to stay the way you are?
What do you think about the comment that I just said
