What were you doing today?
Yeeees. - Yes ... yes!
Hey guys and girls on Ask Japanese it's CathyCat!
We are gonna do an English challenge and randomly ask Japanese people to speak English with us
Can they do it? Let's go and find out and ask Japanese boys!
Right now there are not many around but have you been surprised by a foreigner recently?
Foreigners that shock me?
I might be rude now. - Go ahead be rude.
I saw a foreign man who wore a miniskirt and dressed like a woman.
Foreign men are so much taller than us right?
I was like 'oh' - Did you saw them in Harajuku?
A foreign man dressed like a woman.
Is that rare in Japan?
We do not see it much here in Japan.
Some Japanese youtubers often transform into super cute girls in their videos. Have you thought about it?
I want to try it some time!
I have dressed up like a girl in my highschool summer festival but not for everyday life.
We do not see that much, but I would love to try it on YouTube some time.
Japan is still quite behind on things like tattoos and such.
Tattoos still have a negative image here.
It is still kind of shocking to see people around Tokyo wearing tattoos all over their bodies.
If Japanese dare to have a tattoo they have it in one spot
But not having their whole leg black with tattoos.
Even I was surprised when I saw a foreigner who was full of tattoos.
How big does a tattoo have to be to cause problems with your life in Japan?
Even just one tattoo means you cannot go to the hot springs, pools and even the beach.
Those are the consequences
Do you have friends with tattoos?\
Only one.
He got them when he was studying abroad and thought it would be fine somehow.
Japan has a lot of prejudices though
Many think if you have a tattoo you are a dangerous person.
Only one tattoo can mean that people will treat you very differently here.
Has that not changed now?
A tiny bit little by litte.
On Tiktok or other sns we have more chances to see things like that.
There are rappers who have tattoos abroad right. So the prejudice about tattoos...
has gotten a tiny bit better but people still think it is something scary people do.
There was an exchange student at my university and we became friends.
What was he like? - Well, I am stupid so I didn't understand his English
But he was kind and used easy words.
We communicated in simple words and gestures like this.
With your feeling. - Feeling!
On that note how about we find out how good your English is and test it now ok?
He can do english.
Ok
Tell me more about your hobbies, what kind of videos do you make?
One more time please
Tell me about your hobbies. - Hobby... hobbies...?
Soccer! - Karaoke - You like going to karaoke?
What type of videos do you guys make on your youtube channel?
Ahhh uuuuuhhhhh comedy. Japanese comedy videos.
Yeeeeeees. - Yes yes.

Ah... NO
No???
Yes? Yes. Yes - Oh

You are. - Ok.
Don't mind ok ok.
When you suddenly had to speak English how did you feel? - I was so shocked.
I didn't know what to say.
Me too.
I am sorry I couldn't understand what you said.
There are so many things I want to say, but I could not get a word out.
So I just went with random yaaay cheering
With high energy. = Yes.
Have you ever tried chatting to a foreigner?
He has
There was once a foreigner in the middle of the road.
I said excuse me
And then asked them to subscribe to me.
They did not ask me suddenly,
So I had time to prepare my heart for it.
So I went all in and it worked out.
But when someone suddenly speaks English to me like you did, I panic. \
I froze.
