hello everyone welcome to happy school
days would you believe that he did that
to an entire school full of people for a
full year
[Music]
welcome to Tokyo Tuesday as always if
you're a regular viewer welcome back
oh yeah [ __ ] I wanta if you're a
regular viewer welcome back a few years
back what was it about 2015-2016 yeah
2016 k released an entire series on his
channel where he talked about I
basically faked a Japanese accent for an
entire year my sophomore year of high
school and I called myself happy that
was like my nickname happy school days
what is it well basically in the new
school I've been going to for two weeks
now I've been pretending to be a full
Japanese person with like an accent and
everything and I changed my name to
happy throughout the year I would just
talk about experiences that I went
through doing this whole social
experiment and it turned out to be an 18
part series I called it happy school
days and then at the end of it I told
everyone revealed to all my classes you
know teachers friends that I don't have
an accent
I'm a native English speaker and thought
everyone's reaction is they're all
freaking out in yeah and then it just
turned out to be happy school days and
this I faked a Japanese accent for an
entire school year something like that I
have so many questions honestly before
we start this I'm starving so I can
order pizza I cook what do you eat on
your pizza I like pineapple action
pineapple I like Hawaiian pizza okay for
those of you who don't listen to the
podcast which by the way is linked below
Japan Pizza hack Domino's English site
is dirt cheap pizza there we go
pizza is ordered all right suddenly I
had like a small list of stuff that I
wanted to ask I had watched these like
happy school days like pretty much as
they came out like it was a really fun
series to watch you pretending not to
really speak English in this accent and
everything what's your backstory where
did your life start grew up as a
military child dads in the Navy moved
back and forth between California and
Japan
lived in Germany out at some point cool
and yeah last place I lived was Colorado
okay from like when you're very for I
think Episode one of happy school days I
was like I was so bored in my first year
of high school right I just decided to
do this but where did you get the idea
for Happy's character actually the
character is actually funny I went to
Japanese middle school and there was
someone in my class called hop beep okay
his name was like hot hot
something-something but everyone called
him half happy oh and that's that's my
gosh happy okay and so at what point did
you decide like I'm just gonna fake an
accent for this year just right before I
moved to Colorado I just it's like
really chill atmosphere is by far like
if you haven't watched the videos it's
it's all gonna be linked below
but this juxtaposition between doing
something so and presenting it in such a
chill manner that juxtaposition is what
makes the videos so good before you
started it did you tell anybody that you
were gonna do this just my family knew
okay maybe some friends but they didn't
okay so your family is in like your
parents knew that you were gonna go to
school and fake an accent yeah how did
they react yeah I mean my dad thought it
was funny and my mom was like why yes
yeah I'm just thinking you're a
disappointment to your family a little
more like serious money
yeah I mean she she thinks I'm I'm just
kind of like goofy kids so she's always
like I do anything
day one so you walk in how did you feel
the first time it was him in the first
day of school it was orientation okay
like a week before I was like waiting in
line for her I don't know to get
registered in the school and stuff like
that and that was like my practice rent
I guess okay that's why I got it and I
was just like I don't
my name is happy nice to meet you I'm
from Jaffa okay when you did that we're
like I pulled that off pizza's here
they got the order on that sucks
Japanese customer service is usually
good pizzas pizza though so long
I want to complain whatever comedies
alright give you some bad news
put a lot of cheese on this it's like
really
[Music]
those times people found out throughout
the year about six people found out once
they found out they like kept the secret
cuz like they they felt like they were
part of the joke so it was like it was
just kind of like a cool like we had our
own little mmm like secret thing going
on yeah by the last month of school the
whole student council found out and like
one of the teachers like the sponsor of
the student council she found out and so
it just became an inside like inside
joke they were cool about so they were
cool about it and the teacher was like
the teachers one of the coolest people
shout to miss McGuire she literally like
comments on my Instagram lives and stuff
she liked me and stuff like mostly
everyone was cool with it but at the end
of it when I once I told everyone yeah
some teachers were mad though as you
said they gave you a break on stuff
throughout the year the teachers that
got mad is was my English teacher okay
but the thing is growing up I was always
really bad at English anyway so I was
trauma best in English so it's just like
it really just was your hate for the
most part not my best I was just I'm
just bad at English and so yeah I guess
it worked out okay the most stressful
moment of the entire time last day of
school when I told everyone and that
video got taken down too right yeah yeah
that sucks but I'll reopen it a bit [ __ ]
but there is like this is still the rest
of this series right yeah that's any
vessel economy it's the whole thing cool
is just literally the whole like
documentaries yeah the whole series I
think just that's common this
development from a simple joke to this
elaborate prank to this grand social
experiment I think that's what just made
this whole project like just more a lot
more deep than
than what it seems like on surface level
the whole year it really changed me as a
person I think but I mean
faking an accent for an entire faking
this character takes a toll on your mind
and yeah I got I got real depressed like
halfway through the year and it was just
outside of school I never hung out with
anyone you know I didn't talk to anyone
because I can't I can't talk to them on
social media or anything because if they
find out my social media don't find a
lot you too which then they found out
the happy school day series and then
they'll know the secret's out so I
really had to like keep myself hidden so
I just spent a lot of time alone and I
think all of that and just just
literally not even being yourself for a
full year
mm-hmm it's just it's just depressing
it's all in the past now I've grown up
as a person it just it just sucked in
the moment just all the just the
depression I remember I had to go I went
to a psychologist because I was kind of
going crazy yeah my parent my mom was
telling me you you should stop this
everything but it was halfway through
the year I couldn't just I had to keep
going so yeah it was a concept but
towards the end of the year summer came
and I think a lot of that I just the
sadness and everything was part of
winter and just that that seasonal
depression
bulton and I just felt better because a
year was ending I could finally like
tell everyone and I knew I was gonna
make this you know video faking an
accent for a year and I knew I knew in
my head it was gonna salt was all worth
it but when I think about I guess when I
think about like the just how far I've
come as
as a content creator I definitely think
of that because that's kind of well
that's kind of how your content got
started you were sharing with me like

really exciting plans moving forward
