They make themselves beautiful and then game. - How cool.
They look a lot cooler than Japanese game girls in comparison.
That's so rare. - For us that's so rare.
Hey guys and girls on Ask Japanese. When I tell you "game girl"
when I tell you "female Twitch streamer" what are the first things
that you are thinking of. This time we're gonna go,
ask the same question to Japanese people and also show them some images of western famous
twitch streamers and game girls and see how Japanese people react to it
and what their general opinions are. So that's a topic we're gonna be asking today here
in Tokyo. Don't forget to subscribe to not miss the other videos that we do on our channel and
tune in for another video by ticking the notification bell as well. Let's head out to
the streets of Tokyo and ask what do Japanese girls think of game girls?
Let's go and Ask Japanese.
Do you play games? - We do. - Have you watched people play games?
I totally do. - I watch only 2 people, no others and the ones I watch nobody knows
so I can't talk about them.
I like "let's play" videos so I watch games
that I wouldn't play myself cause it's fun.
What "Let's plays" do you watch? - Boys...
Boys playing horror games. - You're into that?
Problem with that? I also love Kingdom Hearts thought I don't play it.
I like the story and such. I watch it sometimes.
I do. - What is your first image of game girls
Their voices are higher than male voices
when they get surprised they hurt my ear. So I don't watch them.
The gamer I am watching is a guy. I think
the humor of boys is better. Girls are boring. That's my stance.
So I don't even search for them. - Ok on that note
today we'll ask
about foreign game girls who stream their gaming online.
Game girls are popular and they also make cash
Many stream live on a Platform called Twitch.
What is your image of girl games? - Girl Gamers....
that's a recent title girls use for selfies now....
They wear sportswear or indie brands
with headphones and glasses. Cute girly girls.
Girls who play games in cosplay.
But the truth is that probably all just wear pajamas
and play like that.
And playing in a girly room. - They are used to the camera
so they should be doing makeup. - Maybe care about their looks.
They want fans to see that they are cute. - They shouldn't be too slack.
These girls make themselves look pretty when they game.
They look so much better than Japanese game girls in comparison.
I don't know why she is eating cookie dough. - How cute she's eating cookie dough. - Yes and cosplay!
That's what I expected. - Playing games in cosplay is what I hoped for.
Many people that like games like anime too. - Games, manga and anime are a similar genre
Seeing the pics? - What I expected. -Do you think
there will be a gamegirl boom here too? - Not in Japan
There are some girls that do it, but it's not popular.
I think that's in the FAR future. Not close at all.
What do you think girl gamers are like?
I think they exist but they are not big gamers
They play games more as hobby
No girl will say "I am a gamer" - That's too embarrassing.
It's embarrassing? What is embarrassing about it?
Gamer is seen as a title for men only.
That's a broad image. - It's too geeky. - So girls like games
but they are not too deep into it.
They just play it to have fun.
I think Japan and abroad see that very differently.
They are so cute abroad
I never thought cute pretty girls would play games. I have never seen that in Japan.
It's very new to me. - I am glad they exist.
I am glad foreign girls are doing it.
What's different? - They care about their looks I am glad foreign girls are doing it.
What's different? - They care about their looks
Japanese gamers are more gloomy. - No makeup. - Those foreign girls are cheery
it seems from this.
Have you ever thought of
becoming a Youtuber yourself? - Never.
What do you think of gamer girls?
Gaming girls? - They don't exist.
I am playing games but...
I don't have a negative image. I envy them.
They are so strong for trying. - Any game girls in your friends?
No for you? - For me yes. We call each other and game
What kind of games? - PUBG games
A friend has a drivers license and her driving is really good in the game too
We phone each other while gaming together. I generally am finished first though.
Games and PUBG too
are sometimes used by old men trying to get girls...
That makes it hard to call within the game. I use a different app for doing that.
That's how we communicate. - So abroad
twitch gamers are like this. - Wow how cute
Like this. - Wow how skinny! - Stylish!
Wow so cute. - They don't wear sweatpants? - I wear my PJs at home
They are dressing up for this!
They are dressing up or even cosplaying.
They think about it a lot. - I just lie around in bed while gaming.
How rare! - For Japanese this is quite rare. - Some are dancing around too
They seem to have so much fun. - So your expectation
of game girls and what you saw, what's different
Those game girls seem to have much more fun
They all try to wear different clothes...
We are just playing games. They are having more fun ....
and that will be more fun for the people watching. - In Japan
many game girls will hide their face.
They won't show their face, just the screen of the game, live.
And wear PJS. - Don't know yeah.
This is new, that they are showing their faces!
Gamer girls nowadays look like this
or like that. - They are NOT HIDING their face...
they are really opening up, it seems.
I used to think that girls hide their face when they play games.
They are showing themselves. How brave.
Why do many gaming girls hide their face?
They are not confident in themselves.
Crazy. - What is that? - What is she wearing?
That's some cosplay... - Maybe Sailor Moon
Looks like Sailor Moon. - Some also sing.
- they are all so cute - Dancing too
What difference do you see?
To be honest... I used to think it's just lazy girls hiding inside
not wearing any makeup and such.
Not putting effort into their looks but having fun with games? - Yeah
They all dress up so much and seem to have fun. I like it.
In Japan are there girls who game and broadcast their gaming
Have you seen it? - Nope. - Not at all.
We got it so good is the general opinion
that we got out of this one this time. What the majority of Japanese girls expected were
girls in their PJS, messy hair, out of bed, sitting somewhere at home
gaming. Maybe no makeup. Maybe covering their faces! That's a big
thing here in Japan that many girls when they are online, they don't even show their faces they just put on
a face mask, maybe glasses. It sounded very negative. YK lazy at home playing
game thing which is totally ok and totally normal in Japan but what we got
and what we got a lot in the videos I showed these girls, were girls that were very pretty
girls that really put on makeup, put themselves out there. They put on makeup
they were cosplaying. There were pretty sexy outfits there sometimes but there is quite a lot of
things that they do differently from the image that was originally
expected. It made me realize how good we have it.
Because those girls they put on the makeup, dressen and put themselves out there
but they try hard to get people's attention and make it entertaining
to watch. I don't think that's a bad thing.
And I realized it this time even more. Respect to those girl who you know try
really hard to.... You always get the bad apple somewhere in the mix. Someone who
makes a bad name for other gaming girls but generally those girls try really hard
and they look cute. And that's a good thing. Why is everyone complaining about that?
It's a good thing. We got it so well. I realized that this time one more time when I did that. Also...
I do Twitch... does that make me a Twitch girl???
I am not sure it does. If you are curious about it
it's CANUPLAYITCAT with U in the name. We got it pretty nice. We shouldn't complain.
We got it pretty nice guys.
Cute girls being cute. I don't think there is anything to complain about that.
So on that note we are asking Japanese people about quite a lot of other topics so don't forget
to subscribe to our channel and tick the notification bell. Otherwise we might miss the video
and we are putting out a lot of videos in your direction and you will miss them if that notification
bell is not ticked. Tick that thing. Tick it hard. Also give us a like
a like is a great way to just show the people that have made whole video for you guys to say "thank you"
just give us a like. Doesn't make a big change for you but it makes a big change for us as YouTubers. It's a way of saying thank you
So thank you very much for tuning in. I hope I see some comments down below of maybe some favorite
Twitch streaming girls that you would like to recommend to us. I know there is always a bad apple somewhere in the mix
but generally everyone is trying hard. Nothing bad with that as far as I know. I hope you have a great day
look after each other, be supportive of each other is another thing I'd like to add. Especially girls
be supportive of each other. And I catch you soon for another video here from Tokyo coming
out to you. Bye!
