How cute is that?!
... This one!
Ta-da... oh!!!
Why do you have that?!
That's my Amore!
Hey guys and girls on Ask Japanese it's Cathy Cat and - I am Yuriko Tiger nice to meet you
Who is a cosplayer here in Japan. We both know each other, hanging out in Harajuku. She in her punk style
I have been hanging out Lolita style and today we'll talk about items that are special to us. 3 each, have you prepared something?
I did. - Ok on that note we will start but talk in Japanese cause that's the language
in which we both communicate. Tick on the subs, you can tick them on and off. If you haven't switched them on yet
do it now. We're gonna go and switch to Japanese. Let's do this. - Let's do this!
2..1... Ta-da! - I knew it! - That's the one. - I expected that!
Yes it appears in the anime. - Around the end of the series?
It was around the second half of the first season of Sailor Moon. - How nostalgic! - Right!
I always wanted this. Thanks to Sailor Moon I am here now. When I unboxed this locket
and made it play for the first time I cried. (kya how embarassing)
Cute! - I always had wanted and admired it. Now I am here in Japan
ordered it, got it to the house where I am living, opening it, listening to it all of this in Japan. Many of my dreams came true.
That's nice. - That's why I cried.
This one here. I was one of the official cosplayers for Tekken 7 and this one here
is a copy of the first Tekken games. I have owned this since I was small. And this sign here
is from the creator Mr Harada. - Wow
That's amazing. - I brought this copy from Italy. - Good choice!
When working for Tekken 7 I got it signed, and then showed it to my dad in Italy.
My dad was happy, he was the one who got me interested in games and anime.
The first game I played with my dad was Tekken. Who would
have thought... that I would work with Tekken in the future! Dream come true. - Wow even I am moved now
That's unbelievable. - I thought so too. This copy is pretty worn out by now though.
This is the most amazing story! So moving. - It keeps me motivated
and helps me to try my best.
This is really great! There's no way I could have guessed that one!!!
That one is really hard to guess. - Ok I will go with item number 2
My diary!
It's a 5 year diary. You and I, we are both working in the "Talent" industry right?
We sometimes get SO busy right? - Yeah! - The year later it's easy to forget
what we did right? We are living an action packed life, so in order to not forget it
I try to write down what I do every day. - Every day? - Every day!!! ISome entries are a bit private
Let me find a safe page.... first.... - Ok. - Here we go
Ta-da That's how it looks. There is an area for every year. You can't write too much. That's good
If there is too much writing, it's hard to keep it up. Only jot down the exciting things like meeting monkeys in Nagano
If I want to go into detail I put it in my big scrapbook with pictures, stickers and tickets.
Here comes a private question: Do you write mostly positive or negative things in there?
I try to write it as possibly. The reason for that is, if you focus on the good in a day
it's good for the brain to focus on positive things in a day. It learns to register it more.
It's really important to make yourself aware of the positive things in every day. - I think so too
I assume the next item you will bring is connected to Harajuku fashion?
Close but not quite.
- WHOOOAH why do you have it?! (It's a famous lolita fashion bag)
It's cute right. It's already pretty tattered.
- Why do you have it??? (It's famous I tell ya)
I own this since I am 14, I was a lolita back then
When I was young I liked punk lolita and lolita...
I wore Lolita fashion since I was 13... I wanted to wear it even if it didn't suit me
It does!! - At my highschool there was one lolita girl
and she had a lot of money. She owned only expensive brands - Whaaaa?
I didn't have that much. I only had replicas or the dresses I tried to make myself
I see. - I didn't want to lose totally against her so
I took on a part time job and together with my birthday money I bought this. - Which means...
Yuriko... you belong to my frilly fashion side. Come to my fashion side!!
Even if Harajuku fashion didn't suit me and people found it weird... I liked it
that's why I didn't want to give up on this one.
What will you bring next... maybe some action figures?
What? - Left or Right? - They are both really STRANGE
What is that??? Hold on?? WHY? You like Pokemon? - I do!
I actually wanted to introduce the item on the Pokemon. Hehe here is my Magicarp!
He is the model of this one item here: Tada
It's a sleep mask. In Japan the run rises early, around 5am
True. - I wake up easily from the sun, if I don't wear it.
I will wake up at 5 otherwise.
This one looks like a riceball. But inside there is a ring that looks like a pickled plum.
I got it from the Gatcha machines. I found it super funny. "Only in Japan" - CathyCat your...
you..... comedic.... take on it... is funny.
Hehehe. - I guess so. This is a very "only in Japan" kind of strange item. I found it entertaining
I would never buy that. - It sold out really fast! I couldn't get the salmon ring I wanted.
Here is my cat. - I want to meet your cat!!
I saved 2 cats on the street before. Not this cat though.
I was with a friend, and they ended up taking care of those two cats.
But after that I felt a hole in my heart and wanted one...
I was supposed to travel a lot this year. But I felt somewhat suspicious.
So I decided to buy a cat anyways, searched a lot, and got it from a breeder in the end.
Sounds like you had a 6th sense for this 2020 situation! - Yeah
You did! - Maybe I did. - Nice - I never had a cat here. But I decided to
get this cat. I would have gone crazy without it the last months.
On that note those were our special items! - Right!
What item surprised you the most? - That weird riceball ring!!!
People say, the items you show, show something about their owner
I don't know beforehand what you will bring. But the first Sailor Moon items you showed
that you still live in a dreamy and childish
world. Looking at your diary though, I can see you are very serious about your working life.
You seem to cheer up other people.
What moved me the most is the game you brought from Italy to Japan, signed and brought back to your dad
That story of the game was moving. You choose this game with all the memories
to get signed. Showed it to your dad in Italy. I was so moved. That's an amazing story.
Yuriko thank you so much for you time. - Same here I had fun. What surprised you guys
let us know what items puzzled you in the comments!
Guys be sure to check out her channel she has 2 channels one in Japanese and one in Italian. Check those out
Yuriko thank you. - Thank you! See you soon! - Let's do it again!!
Thank you! - Let's do our best! - See you soon! Bye!!! - Bye!!!
Are we good director?!
