A new chapter opens, the Seba Gossip

our idol is going to do a rank about the 5 most wow scandals that happened in Japan

Hello guys I'm Sebastiano Serafini and today's video is a bit improvised

because I'm in front of the Pisa tower and I need to talk about something!

Today I'm doing a video that I wanted to do some time ago

Today I'm talking about the 5 most ... scandals in Japan

on fifth place there is maybe one of my favorites

I turn on the TV, I didn't saw it live though...

I heard about it. Imagine a common Japanese person

that turns on the TV to watch the news

and sees this very famous announcer

and when he sais Good morning his wig falls off^^

and the thing is that before the report starts

you can see the other faces

it was a unforgettable scene...

so, this is the 5th place

on the 4th place we find another beautiful news

I don't know if you know her, but she was a very famous idol during 2004-2007

she was one of this web-star phenomenon

everybody wanted her, because she did some exposed pictures

on the internet

she was a foreigner, half chinese - half filippino

and she lives in LA

she became super famous, and they called her to come to Japan

she also signed a contract with Virgin

and she did a cover for the fever single

and what did happen? ...when she signed to Shonen Magazine

they paid her a lot for some exclusive pictures and she became very famous

but then at her first live show of her tour

she made an announcment that she was pregnant and that she will merry soon her stylist

and in like 1 week she lost all her fans and everybody did forgot her

and above of that her relationship with that man didn't go that well, so a lot of problems did happen...

if she didn't said that, she would still be famous

and also my frined Shintaro, that was in my Escape to infinity MV

did teach her Japanese while her staying in Japan

and he said to me that she threw a computer out of the window

and so this is also a reason why many foreign people find it hard to enter in the world of entertainment here

that happened to many foreign people...

maybe I'm going to talk about that in another video

now we arrive at the podium

on third position we have Erika, I've met her also

she is a nice and beautiful person, but one morning she did wake up

she went to her movie premiere

and they gave her some scissors to cut the tape at the inauguration of the movie

and she was there like...it's a thing that you can't do in Japan

it's really impolite!

and then the jounalist did ask her about the movie and she was like... don't know...

and because of that for some years she couldn't work in Japan

at second place we have one of the SMAP

I don't remember who...

well, he was drunk in Kasaka

and they found him naked and drunk in a Park

it's not that big deal, but because of that he couldn't work on television for some years

but now he's back...

now we're going to speak about the first one!

on place number one we have

Minami from the AKB

it's a really sad story, she was seen going out of a mans house

and so everybody discovered that she had a boyfriend ! OMG

and that she spent the night at his house

and so a big scandal, because on the AKB contract you can't have a relationship

so, when that happened she had to leave the agency

and so what did she do? she took the razor and cut off all her hair and that video went viral

and that was her way of saying sorry

however this were the 5 scandals of Japan

let me know which one you liked the most in the comments

and to finish, I leave you again the clip of the man with the wig.

See you next time!

Warframe Storytime: Living in Japan - Duration: 5:32.

Hi.

This is going to be a different video from usual, if you couldn't tell by now.

Rather than bitch about something in Warframe that makes me angry or shitpost, I thought

it would be a nice change of pace to (for once) talk about something remotely related

to myself, as that's not something I typically do.

Anyways, sit back, and listen as I talk about living in Japan.

98.5% of the people that live in Japan are Japanese.

0.9% are Korean or Chinese.

The remaining 0.6% includes everyone else, such as myself.

Being a foreigner in a country that's the complete opposite of the US, which is basically

a giant ass combination of every culture on Earth, is an odd experience to say the least.

You don't get stared at by the locals as some people would have you believe, because most

Japanese people are actually quite introverted.

That's the best way I can put it.

Japan is a country of introverts, not that it's a bad thing.

You'd think that looking nothing like the locals would be reason enough to warrant people

to be fascinated by you, but that's not as true as you'd think.

Most people you come across keep to themselves, whether it be on the trains, on the streets,

etc.

It's common to hop aboard a train only to see that everyone on the train is sleeping

with headphones on or reading something on their phone with headphones on.

Everyone, even the elderly, do this.

As a result, 99.9% of the time when you ride a train, it's dead silent; apart from the

mechanical noises made by the train itself.

Obviously that's not the result of the Japanese being rude, because the Japanese go almost

out of their way to be as polite as possible, rivaling the Canadians to some extent.

Something to admire about the Japanese is their dedication to being considerate.

If somebody drops a wallet, nobody hesitates to return it.

If a foreigner is present, nobody hesitates to speak English, however limited it is.

If an elderly person walk aboard a train, nobody hesitates to give up their seat for

them.

Watching this sort of thing in action on an almost regular basis is fascinating each and

every time it happens, because it demonstrates how the people in general are just kind, almost

to the point of obsession.

Speaking of obsessions, the Japanese for whatever reason have a fascination for Americans and

their culture.

KFC for example is a hell of a lot more popular in Japan than in the US, especially around

Christmas time; where things get so crazy that Japanese families actually reserve KFC

meals in advance.

Anything and everything associated with Americans is glorified in some sort of way.

It truly does not matter what type of shop you walk into; electronics, clothing, adult

items, you name it, and the employees there just immediately brighten up.

It's something that I still don't understand, but just walking into a store is enough for

an employee to suddenly become more attentive and altruistic.

In a way, being American works against you.

If you're walking down a street and a Japanese street advertiser notices you coming, you

can bet your ass you're going to be stopped and given an ad for a restaurant or something

alike.

I find the only way to avoid being pulled aside in a manner like this is to put headphones

on like everyone else, walk forward, and stare.

This is the first time that I've ever seen practical usage of the phrase:

"When in Rome, do as the Romans do."

Aside from being polite, if there's anything that the Japanese absolutely emphasize; it's

efficiency.

Trains are very rarely late, and on the occasions that they are, it's usually due to mechanical

difficulties.

Shops and restaurants open on the dot (usually around 10 in the morning), and even then,

people typically line up outside and wait prior to the store actually opening, the same

way we treat Black Friday back in the States.

Any hole-in-the-wall restaurant that you walk into has a machine up front, ready to take

your order so all you have to do is find a seat and wait.

That just happens to be the norm, and anything that deviates from that is something new that

is completely unknown, such as when an American comes around.

In situations like this, Japanese people just become socially awkward, which in my case

is actually fantastic since I'm a nervous wreck around new people too.

This doesn't happen because the Japanese aren't considerate, but rather because they have

no clue how to deal with something that isn't part of their routine.

In a way, it's almost funny; given how nobody seems to mind all the displaying or selling

of merchandise with near-naked females, but when it comes to handling a social interaction

with a foreign stranger, shit hits the fan.

But then again, I suppose that's part of the reason why Western culture is a big deal here;

as better understanding it allows the Japanese to avoid breaking down into a socially inept

mess.

Regardless, Japanese culture is something that never ceases to interest me.

From what I've gathered, if you're a fucking nerd that is scared by the mere thought of

interacting with people, you're missing out.

It's fucking paradise.

Thank you for listening.

YOUTUBERS REACT TO JAPANESE COMMERCIALS #3 - Duration: 10:11.

(udder boinging)

- (both) WHAT?!

- What? No! - No!

- What on earth?

♪ (dramatic chord) ♪

- (FBE) So over the years, we've done a few episodes

on Japanese commercials

- I think I did one of these once.

I had no idea what was going on.

- (FBE) And even one of them even featured both

American and Japanese YouTubers, and we got to see

different perspectives and different cultures,

with the YouTubers from the U.S. finding

some of the Japanese commercials strange, and those from Japan

feeling like some of the commercials were totally normal,

and even said that some of our commercials from the U.S.

were the ones that were big and loud and weird.

- Are you gonna show me some Japanese commercials?

- When I first moved to America, especially on the radio,

I feel like American commercials are so risky.

- (FBE) Today, we're going to be showing you

some more Japanese commercials and see what you think.

- I'm so ready! - I'm so excited!

- I've seen my fair share of these, so I'm kind of excited.

- They're so weird.

I've seen one in my life and I never looked back.

- (FBE) So after each video, we're gonna have you

rate them on a scale of 1-5, based on how creative

and different you thought they were. - "Creative and different."

- Get your Creative Different Hat on. - Okay.

(clicking tongue) It's on.

(phone ringing)

- (horse speaking Japanese)

- (cracking up) What?

- The placement of the mouth, though.

- ♪ (singing in Japanese to bubbly rock music) ♪

- I want pizza now.

- I want to get pizza after this.

- "De ki ta." - What is going on, dude?

- This is why I want to go to Japan.

- Wow.

- I can't with this.

- I'm kind of over this already. I'm not gonna lie.

- I'm so lost.

- I'm thoroughly enjoying this.

- ♪ Domino Pizza ♪

- (mimicking) ♪ Domino Pizza ♪

- That was kind of twisted.

If you think about it, all the animals

coming out of the oven singing, but they're actually the meat.

- (FBE) So on a scale of 1-5, how creative and different was that?

- One... as in I could absolutely see that playing here.

- That's a five.

Whoever came up with that has a very wild imagination.

- Five.

- Four... because it was really funky and really out there.

- This is kind of weird. I'd give it a two.

- Three.

- I'm gonna go a solid four.

- Four. - I would say four, too.

- Four.

- Three, just because, eh, it was okay.

- Four. I just can't imagine somebody from Domino's being, like,

"Hmmm, some animals singing on some pizza. Sure, yeah!"

- (speaking in Japanese)

- Oh, yes!

- Oh!

- What is going on? - (man screaming aggressively)

- Is this Power Rangers?

- "U.F.O." I wonder what that brand is.

- I have no idea what they are trying to advertise here.

- Are those these instant noodle bowls,

because I love them.

- Is this a ramen commercial?

- Mastodon! Pterodactyl!

- (speaking in Japanese) - (snorting)

- Ha!

(motor revving) - Jeez.

- Yo, I called it!

- For noodles? Come on, y'all.

- (announcing in Japanese)

- I need to get that ramen.

That was another five.

- I'd give that a two.

It didn't get to the main thing until the very end.

- Five. - I'd say five.

- Five, for sure. - I don't think you'd see that here.

- Three for creative.

- Two, purely because its plot was a little contrived.

- A four.

- A solid three.

If that aired in the U.S., ramen sales would go through the roof.

- I'll give you a three on that one.

- Five.

- I'd give it a four. - I'd give it a one...

because I've seen a lot of, you know,

Voltron/Power Rangers-esque stuff here.

- I thought it was very original.

- Well, good. - I liked it.

- Yeah, I ain't eating that.

I don't want some lady screaming at me

with a lightening bolt on her forehead. No!

- I feel like all the 5 Gum commercials were super inspired

from stuff like this.

- Four. - I'd give it just a four.

That was creative. I liked it.

- That's a three.

I mean, I got that one way more than the last one.

- I'd give that one a three.

- I would also give it a three.

- I'd say four. - Four. Four.

- Once he put the gum in his mouth, I was like,

"Okay, he's in heaven," and then just, like...

crazy woman screaming in your face.

Five.

- I'll give you a five on that one.

- There was lots of screaming and she was scary,

so that one was a three.

- Four.

I don't think in Canada or America,

they'd be like, "Yes, you can torture this person

and that will sell the product."

- Three.

There's a lot easier ways to be woken up

then to be electrocuted by some lady yelling in your face.

that casually. And they drank it!

- Five. - Yeah.

- My God, I want that milk.

- A solid five.

- Five! - Definitely a five.

- Five, just because I was not expecting the udder nipple

to just be all up in my face.

- Because it is creative, I will rate that a five.

Did I enjoy it? Not that much.

- Four. It was a little too much.

I don't need to see that much.

- Three, just because minus the U.F.O. nipple,

everything else was probably okay.

- Four in creativity.

(humming tune)

- (both) ♪ Choco Ball ♪

- A two. - A hard one.

- Wow. - One.

This was my least favorite advertisement.

They tried too hard.

- Two.

It's very similar to some animations like Robot Chicken

and things like that.

- I'd give it a three.

- Five. - Five, for sure.

- I would say all of them are four or five.

- (both) You just don't see that.

- Three. - That was also a five for me.

- No! More so than U.F.O. udder?

- Five.

- Two. I liked that one even less than the nipple atrocity

that I had to sit through.

- Five. I don't even see them as advertisements.

It's just, like, what the [bleep] videos.

- Three. It was creative, but I also feel like

after seeing the cow udders and the Domino's Pizza,

I mean, it doesn't compete with those at all.

- (FBE) So after watching this, how do you think

the Japanese commercials compare to the commercials

that you've seen in the United States?

- I think ours are boring.

For example, the chicken wearing the "I Love BBQ,"

that'd probably never be allowed.

- It's so much more focused on entertainment

and just, you know, something more enjoyable

than just focusing on promoting your product.

- The U.S. commercials are a little more relaxed.

The Super Bowl, that's when the weird random commercials come out.

- We shouldn't even have the commercials

we have here in the U.S.-- they should just all be

Japanese commercials.

If those were the commercial breaks that I had to sit through,

I would watch TV like it was the Super Bowl every day,

just for the commercials.

How Xenoblade 2 Was Changed Outside Japan - Duration: 11:16.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 released for the Nintendo Switch recently to glowing reviews across

the board.

The title is the latest game in Nintendo's Xenoblade series and follows 2015's Xenoblade

Chronicles X.

Its predecessor made numerous different changes when it was localised for Western countries.

Due to this, questions began to arise over whether the localisation of Xenoblade 2 would

have similar changes.

And so, this video will be taking a look at Xenoblade 2's localisation and some of the

ways it was changed outside of Japan.

The first thing to bring up is the many name and terminology changes that were made to

the Western release.

Listed here are the names of the characters displayed on Nintendo's official website and

the Japanese version is displayed to the left and the English on the right.

As you can see, numerous of the characters were renamed outside of Japan.

Pyra, for instance, was originally called "Homura" over in Japan.

Both names are similar in meaning, with Homura being a Japanese word for flame and Pyra being

a Greek word for flame.

It's possible that the localisers felt that the latter would be more natural sounding

for Western audiences, but there are no official statements on why changes like these were

made.

Whilst Pyra's name change kept the original Japanese meaning, many of the other changes

either don't or make the meaning more obscure.

For example, Dromarch wasn't called Dromarch in Japan but Byakko.

Byakko is the name of one of the four mythological creatures in the Chinese constellation and

represents the White Tiger of the West.

For the English version though, it's not really clear where the name originates from.

Additionally, as stated, many of names were changed and not just main characters like

those listed here but minor characters, names of places and organisations, terminology and

more.

There are so many changes like these that Censored Gaming should really make a separate

video sometime taking a look at them all.

Out of the 17 characters listed here however, 12 of them were altered outside of Japan and

all of these have interesting points to say about them.

To move away from that though and on to Xenoblade 2's visual presentation -

You may recall how the previous game made many changes outside of Japan to things like

costumes, with this leading to the Western designs being less revealing in nature.

These changes also affected male outfits and was also accompanied by the complete removal

of the chest size slider in the character creation.

Xenoblade 2, however, has been handled very differently.

There have been no changes like this discovered in the Western version and all graphics have

been kept the same as in Japan.

Many of the characters will still also be quite provocative at times in terms of their

appearance, such as the ice-themed blade Dahlia.

Whilst the graphics were kept consistent between the versions though, the same can't be said

for the game's dialogue.

It wasn't just the names and terminology altered in the Western release but also some of the

conversations that characters will have.

This leads to things like personality changes for certain characters and differences in

characters' stories.

Some of these changes also toned down potentially objectionable content.

To begin with Tora's grandpa Soosoo, who's not visually depicted in the game but will

be brought up in the dialogue in many different scenes.

In one of these scenes, you can ask Tora what sort of person his grandpa was and this leads

him to describe his grandpa as a bit of a shut in, who was focused very heavily on his

work.

In the English version, he is described as spending large amounts of time looking at

"photo books of Blades" and that he was really passionate about their appearance and mannerisms.

It is then said, that due to this passion, Poppi became the blade she is today.

The original intent behind this scene is somewhat hinted at in the English version, but over

in Japan, it is very direct and explicit.

The "photo books of Blades" were also vastly different.

In the Japanese version, instead of locked away studying photo books of Blades, it is

erotic books of women.

It is then these erotic books that led to Poppi's different designs.

Poppi also mentions that his activities "seems like a crime".

So, there you have it, that's the Japanese back story of Tora's grandpa Soosoo and what

would ultimately lead to the creation of Poppi.

But to move away from that and onto Poppi herself -

The first thing to bring up about Poppi is a change that was made to her name outside

of Japan.

In the Japanese version, her name is instead "Hana", which is Japanese for flower.

The English name Poppi is also, of course, flower-related and so with this the localisers

kept the original meaning in-tact.

There was another change made to Poppi's name though and this applies to all 3 of her different

forms.

In the English version, she will either be called Poppi α, Poppi QT or Poppi QTπ.

In the Japanese version though, she will be called either Hana JS, Hana JK or Hana JD.

The significance with the Japanese version is that all of these acronyms are used to

describe different Japanese education years.

The idea is that as Poppi's model develops, the education year acronym goes up too and

this was something that wasn't carried over to the Western release.

An example of a scene involving Poppi being changed is the bunny armour scene.

You can't actually see the armour in either version, but the scene involves the characters

discussing some new armour that's been designed for Poppi and, in the English version, this

is a fluffy bunny costume.

Poppi says that its additional function is to cheer up Tora with "extreme cuteness" but

the other characters are dubious about this and believe that's the armour "only" purpose.

There's also a "tail-wiggle dance" special feature, to boost the cheer up effect even

further.

This leads the gang to scold Tora for dressing Poppi so ridiculously.

Tora then goes on to blame his grandpa and father for the designs, which Poppi confirms

and says the bunny armour had been passed down through generations, with each of them

improving on the design.

But, she then goes on to add that it was Tora who finally completed the design, by adding

the tail-wiggle dance protocol.

And so, the harsh criticism directed towards Tora continues from the other characters.

The Japanese version, however, goes pretty differently.

Instead of cute bunny armour, the armour was originally "bikini armour".

The bikini armour's special feature was changed to match, with this now being an "armour purge"

feature, where, when it takes an attack, the section of the bikini that gets hit falls

apart.

Like the English version, it is revealed that Tora isn't responsible for the overall design

but his father and grandpa.

However, also like the English version, it is then revealed that Tora was the one to

finish it by adding the armour purge feature, which leads the other characters to get mad

at him.

Another of Poppi's scenes that was changed was the scene with Poppi QTπ, where she is

asked about additional functions.

In the English version, she activates what is called "Dog Mode" and starts barking like

a dog...

This embarrasses Tora who tells her to immediately shut it off.

He explains that this mode was for walks in the park but was sealed so that people wouldn't

think he was weird.

Zeke then agrees, saying it's more than a little weird, and then asks Tora why he doesn't

just get a real dog.

Over in Japan, however, the mode is a little different.

This is what happens when the function is activated in Japan.

As you heard, the dog-like barking is much more minimal.

She does still make dog barking noises though, with the Japanese onomatopoeia for dog barking

being the word "wan", but unlike the English version, she has much more dialogue than this.

The Japanese script has her saying that she will be all cute and sweet for everybody and

basically she turns into a sort of cute and innocent servant.

The Japanese version also makes no mention of walking dogs in the park, with Tora just

saying that people will be very "suspicious" of that personality and so she must seal it

off.

Zeke doesn't mention Tora getting a dog either, but instead scorns him and asks if this is

his hobby.

Another character that has some notable script changes outside of Japan is Sheba.

Sheba is a rich girl who only cares about beauty, wealth and banquets.

She travels around in a floating bathtub, in search of an entourage full of "charming

ladies", so that they can have graceful tea parties.

The "charming ladies" part is something that will be reflected very much in her character.

She will pay most of her attention to the female party members and will often give them

compliments.

She also has skills such as "Entitled Entourage", which increases damage by 20% for each female

in battle and "Eye for Beauty", which looks for girls to add to her entourage.

Over in Japan though, this is all very different.

She isn't looking for an entourage in the Japanese version.

Instead she is looking for "cute girls" to form a harem.

A harem is a type of relationship where one person will receive love and affection from

many different people.

And, in Sheba's case, she is looking for as many cute girls as possible.

This implies that Sheba has strong lesbian feelings in the Japanese version.

To go along with this, her Japanese dialogue will be much more flirtatious in nature when

talking to the other girls.

These are just a few example of ways that suggestive or potentially objectionable dialogue

was toned down outside of Japan.

Another example, for instance, occurs when Pyra says that she will be able to help in

raising money, to which, gramps replies "nothing illegal, I hope!".

In the Japanese version though, he says "You don't mean... your body?"

- referring to prostitution or some other taboo form of her raising money with her body.

Overall though, Xenoblade 2 is a very big game and toning down moments like these is

pretty rare.

To just bring a few more of the name and terminology changes mentioned earlier though -

Elysium, the fabled location that supposedly rests at the top of the world tree, is instead

called "Rakuen" in the Japanese version.

Rakuen is a generic term for paradise and can be used for all manner of religions.

Elysium, on the other hand, is a form of the afterlife from specifically Ancient Greek

beliefs.

Within Xenoblade 2, Elysium was a true utopia and the people there lived in bliss with their

creator, The Architect.

However, one day they were suddenly cast out and made to live in the world below.

The Architect in the Japanese version instead goes by the name "Sōsei no kami", which means

God of Creation.

The Aegis, Xenoblade 2's legendary weapon that carries Pyra and Mithra as its incarnations,

was also renamed in the West.

In Japan it is called "Ten no seihai", meaning Heavenly Holy Grail.

Its English name, however, is based on a shield from Ancient Greek mythology.

There are other changes like this and from them, it appears that perhaps the localisers

wanted to tone down certain religious elements for Western audiences.

As mentioned at the start of the video though, the script changes to the game are vast and

extend well past toning down provocative elements.

For example, some of the changes are pretty random in nature, such as this scene.

Here Rex asks Pyra what date it is and she says that it's "Amathatober 5th, 4058"...

In the Japanese version though, there isn't a month called "Amathatober" at all.

Originally, she just said that it's "September 5th, 4058", meaning this is something the

localisers decided to add in themselves.

Visual-wise however, as previously stated, there have been no changes found between the

Japanese and English versions.

It's only when you take a look at the game's writing can differences be found.

Japanese-Jewish Restaurant Blends Cuisines || Eat Seeker - Duration: 6:14.

- We went to Japan and ate a lot of food together,

and I think that kind of clicked in his head

that he wants to do something with me.

We came back and then he was like,

"I wanna open a restaurant with you,"

and I was like, "Really?" (laughter)

OK.

We didn't want it to be just Jewish or just Japanese,

so we kind of decided just put it together.

- Make it a collaboration.

- Yeah.

(upbeat music)

(customers mumbling)

I grew up eating Japanese food,

so my flavor probably comes with all the Japanese food

that my mom used to make for me.

- Having grown up in New York in a Jewish family,

I ate a lot of Jewish food.

A lot of corned beef, pastrami, lox, rye bread.

We were dating, and we were just cooking for each other.

- And we kind of started to realize

there's a lot of ingredients that crosses

and flavors also were kinda...

This works.

(jazzy music)

- I probably knew more about Japanese food

than Sawa knew about Jewish food, but when we first opened,

there were some key ideas that we had

that we thought would fit well.

Japanese people love cured salmon and so do Jewish people,

and so we sorta did our take on chirashi,

raw fish over rice, cured it more like a Jewish-style lox,

and then garnished it with some things that are Japanese

and then some things that are more Jewish, like capers.

It adds a little texture;

it's not something you would see in Japanese food.

(instrumental folk music)

And then also challah is a traditional Jewish bread and then--

- Yeah, I've seen it somewhere

and then like, oh, why can't we just add

this sake kasu into the challah dough

and bake it.

It's a sake lees, you know, leftover, when you strain sake.

It has such a good sake aroma to it,

and it makes the bread smells like nice and sweet

when it's baked.

(instrumental hip-hop music)

I grew up in Hiroshima,

so Hiroshima okonomiyaki is the Japanese pancake.

And there's so many styles that you could get,

but all version is cabbage, bean sprouts, onion,

and mix it in the batter.

And we top it with the sauce, okonomi sauce,

that we make own and it could be mayo or sauerkraut

and pastrami and our nori and bonito flakes.

- [Aaron] I don't think anybody would top it with pastrami

and sauerkraut in Japan. - Probably not.

- Because it literally means how you like it,

we're like, well this is how we would do it.

(upbeat music)

- [Sawa] Before I met Aaron,

I think I had matzo balls maybe twice,

but he served me one, and it was delicious.

- I always really liked, when I was a kid,

to have as much noodle, in my mom's matzo ball soup,

as possible.

So, we started thinking, well,

what kind of noodle would be good for the soup?

It's more or less like my mom's recipe,

but we've adapted it a little bit.

Like my mom would never put a giant piece of kombu

in her chicken soup, but we do here.

I think a lot of people grew up with their own stories

that they wanna tell through their food

and through their restaurants.

It could be that one parent was from this country,

another parent was from that country,

or they were born somewhere and then moved to New York

and lived in a neighborhood that was full of some people

who were from some other completely different culture

and that influences them, but I think that people,

when they start telling their own story,

it's not so clean-cut.

- And you are what you eat, right?

I mean, you put food in your body and that's your...

Like makes you, so.

- We pulled an old guidebook from New York from 1983,

and it listed that their was a restaurant

called Shalom Japan.

It's kosher and they serve sushi and matzo ball soup,

and then someone gets up on stage

and tells campy Jewish-Japanese jokes.

And then we laughed and we were like, "Ah,

if we ever open a restaurant,

we should call it Shalom Japan."

- Yeah, I think [the] name stuck.

- [Aaron] There's sort of an homage to the old place.

We thought, also, like it was a representative

of sort of who we were.

I think a lot of people come in with skepticism.

I mean, we are in Williamsburg,

so I think people think that there's an irony to what we do,

but we try to be pretty genuine.

- Food has to be good, you know, that's the bottom line.

And we want to eat it pretty much every day, you know?

We want to make sure everybody enjoys the food.

And when we hear the people were like, we weren't sure,

but we came and then it was really good,

that's like the answer we love to hear.

- Yeah.

No, Logan Paul, You Can't Do What You Did In Japan - Duration: 10:01.

[Pencil scratching]

[Pokemon game sound]

Oh, boy.

Logan.

Logan.

What are you doing?

I don't understand, what...

What are you doing?

There's a pretty big chance you already know who Logan Paul is.

I talked about Jake Paul a tiny amount, before, in a previous video.

And now we're gonna talk about his older brother, more popular brother.

And let's just talk about being a respectful person,

a respectful YouTuber, really just a respectful person altogether.

So yesterday, or, actually I think it was a few days ago,

Logan posted a video of him in Japan.

Not only was he in Japan, more specifically, he was in,

how do you pronounce this correctly, Aokigahara ?

Deaf accent coming out here, but the Sea of Trees, the Japanese Suicide Forest, he was in that.

And just hearing "Suicide Forest",

you can probably guess what the forest is.

It's a place where people go and they ultimately end their lives there.

Usually by hanging or an overdose.

He went to the Japanese Forest, the Suicide Forest.

Not only did he go there with no permission, by the way,

and anyone who goes there, or goes to Japan, will at least check ahead of time, to -

anyone with any sense would go and check what you should do or not do,

in a culture that is completely different than yours.

He goes into the forest, with cameras, he films, without permission,

this is a place that you're not supposed to film in,

finds a body, that was hanged - my English teacher says "hanged",

everybody else says "hung"- and he films it, he films it,

he laughs about it, and people are saying this is kind of a nervous laughter,

which, okay, I understand having a nervous kind of laughing about it,

out of nervousness, but - just give me a second -

he films that, he films this body and apparently,

he says something about making YouTube history and all this kinds of stuff.

And he uploads the video.

Not only does he upload the video, with the body in the clip

- yes, he blurred out the person's face, but really?

But he makes a thumbnail with the body on it.

A thumbnail is a marketing tool on YouTube, so to do that, I just cannot comprehend.

And then he gets backlash for the thumbnail,

and then he changes the thumbnail to, I think, just himself.

The video was still up there for quite some time, it had millions and millions of views,

and 500-600,000 likes and very few dislikes

compared to that big of a positive number.

And then the internet finds about it, like, the side of the internet

that really wants nothing to do with Logan Paul.

I think it was Hank Green that mentioned it.

And then we're all just, we all just kind of look at it and go,

"What the hell are you doing?".

And like Reina Scully said,

this is happening on a sacred day, this is happening on New Year's Day,

and you're going to this forest without permission - this is -

how rude and disrespectful do you really need to be?

What goes through your mind when you see this?

And you just think "I need to film this and put it on YouTube".

I just, I don't quite understand that.

What made you think that was a good idea to do?

For the most part, he's getting a lot of criticism, a lot of backlash,

for doing this type of thing,

but of course you have the "Logang" or the Mavericks, or whoever the hell.

Saying, "It's a dead body. You see dead bodies. Stop being so sensitive".

Yes, dead bodies are real.

What - Logan, if this was his own sibling, his own family member,

his own friend, would he do the same thing if he randomly came across someone that he knew?

Would he film it and put it up on YouTube?

Your fanbase is so young.

Why would you...

Why would you let your fanbase, your very young fanbase watch something like that?

But also, this particular forest is such a sacred place.

You do not go in there without permission, you certainly do not film anything without permission.

The Anime Man on YouTube has done videos on it,

but he got permission from the Japanese government

and he got permission from his sponsor, because it was a sponsored video,

and he was allowed to film in the forest, however the government makes it

very, very clear that you are not to film actual bodies.

If you come across a body, turn off the cameras, that's it, you can talk about it later.

But don't film this particular moment.

And that is something that if Jake...

Logan.

You can't - I can't even - you mix the two up, you mix the two up.

What would have been the better thing to do, if Logan really needed to talk about this,

then make it a suicide awareness, mental health awareness video.

Turn off the cameras, again, go back to your room,

when you go back to your room, and then talk about it, and then

talk about how suicide is a problem,

how mental health is a big thing and needs to be talked about.

But you just don't do that by showing an actual body.

When you see a body, you go tell the authorities.

You don't film it and put it on YouTube.

And he's making this apology about how it was a human mistake.

You had so many chances, from that time that you saw it

and you filmed it, and you went back, you put it into the computer

and you edited it, you did everything else

and then upload, and make the thumbnail as well -

you had so many chances and you just couldn't think, "Oh, maybe I shouldn't put this up there".

I've been doing this for a long time now and I would never think to go to another country,

treat the country with a bunch of disrespect in the first place, looking at the other vlogs,

but especially, I would not go into this forest at all, first and foremost,

especially without permission, and...

And then you have this other side of people saying, "Stop talking about Logan Paul,

or at least stop mentioning his name, because it all it does is make it rele--make him relevant.

You're making him relevant.

Stop talking about it".

First of all, Logan Paul has already been relevant.

His fanbase makes him relevant, we...

So it doesn't really matter.

The other thing is that this needs to be talked about.

I don't know if you wanna, like, sit in the corner and,

you know, twiddle your thumbs and just sit there and be, like, "Oh, I don't wanna get involved".

Which, if you don't wanna get involved, fine, but you can't ignore the problem.

And yes, mentioning the person is important because this person is the problem.

And this isn't the first time that he's been a problem

- pulling stunts at VidCon that was risk--that risked

the safety of himself, of his fanbase, of the people working at VidCon,

and his apology, and the fact -

the one thing that really rubs me the wrong way about the apology

was that he said "I didn't do this to get views", which, of course you did this to get views.

When we film videos and we put them up, we want them to get views.

That's how this works, OK?

That's just how this works, don't pretend you didn't do it for views.

But then he follows "I did not do it for views" with "I get views."

"I didn't do it for the views, I already get them".

That is just not how you issue an apology.

It's like, "If I really wanted so many views, I don't need you to do it".

I just...

I mean, out of all the things that both Logan and Jake Paul have done, combined,

this really just takes the cake.

It's one thing to be a jerk and it's one thing to be like...

This.

You don't film dead bodies for YouTube, you don't film them for anything.

Leave it alone.

And what really doesn't help is that YouTube let this stay,

and then let it go to Trending - Number 10 on Trending.

And no, YouTube did not take the video down - Logan took the video down himself

after getting backlash,

and then he makes that apology saying, "I've never been criticised like this before".

Yeah, you have, yeah you have.

Maybe not to this extent but you have definitely been criticised over and over and over again,

along with your brother.

You see LGBTQ creators getting flagged, demonetized,

disabled creators getting monetized,

people making mental health videos - flagged, demonetized.

People that are on, like, this side of the YouTube world

who are actually trying to help out the world - getting flagged, demonetized and all of that

but this, this video stays up, goes Trending,

and YouTube has no desire to actually get rid of it, themselves.

YouTube, also, what are you doing?

And yeah, the video may have been taken down, but all it took was one person to download it

and then reupload it onto another channel,

and now it's just going and being reuploaded throughout the internet.

I can only imagine that if that was - that,

if that person there was my family member,

and then I just happened to see the vlog, and oh! There's a person that I know,

yes, the face may be blurred but you could probably tell,

sometimes you can just look at something and tell, look at the clothing and, you know, whatever else.

I just, I don't...

Stay far away from cultures that are not yours,

from places that require respect, lots and lots of respect,

because that's something that you do not have in your brain, in your heart,

anywhere in your body, that's all I have to say, don't...

No one is perfect but just don't, don't do som--don't do something like that,

don't support something like that.

I'll see you later. Bye.

Logan Paul In Trouble For Suicide Video - Duration: 8:33.

A POPULAR YOUTUBER IS APOLOGIZING TODAY AFTER HIS

DECISION TO PUBLISH A VIDEO SHOWING THE HANGING BODY OF AN

INDIVIDUAL WHO COMMITTED SUICIDE.

LOGAN PAUL IS THAT YOUTUBER.

DURING A RECENT TRIP TO JAPAN HE WENT TO A FOREST THAT IS KNOWN

FOR SUICIDES AND HANGINGS AND ENDED UP FILMING A MAN'S BODY

AS IT WAS HANGING FROM A TREE.

THROUGHOUT THE VIDEO HE IS LAUGHING, MAKING JOKES.

DURING THE MOMENT HE SAW THAT BODY HE BECAME MORE SERIOUS

BUT THEN LATER ON CONTINUED JOKING AROUND.

THE VIDEO WAS UPLOADED SUNDAY UNDER THE TITLE CALLED WE

FOUND A DEAD BODY IN A JAPANESE SUICIDE FOREST.

HIS PERSONAL YOUTUBE VIDEOS USUALLY GET ABOUT 6

MILLION VIEWS.

LATER ON HE TALKS ABOUT HOW SUICIDE IS NOT A JOKE.

AND HE ALSO INCLUDED A LINK FOR SUICIDE PREVENTION IN THE

DESCRIPTION OF THE VIDEO.

PEOPLE TOOK ISSUE WITH IT BECAUSE HE FILMED THAT DEAD

BODY, AND THE HEADLINE OR TITLE TO HIS VIDEO CAPITALIZED ON

THAT, AND THROUGHOUT THE VIDEO

HE IS WEARING THIS GOOFY HAT AND MAKING LIGHT OF THINGS.

IT WAS INCREDIBLY INSENSITIVE ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU CONSIDER

THAT SUICIDE IS ONE OF THE TOP REASONS FOR DEATH IN JAPAN.

>> FULL CONTEXT, EVERY DAY HE DOES A 15 MINUTE VIDEO, IT IS

EDITED SO THAT CUTS BOTH IN FAVOR OF AND AGAINST HIM.

IN THIS CASE HE HAD DONE A VIDEO ABOUT ALL THE QUIRKY DIFFERENT

CULTURAL THINGS HE SAW IN JAPAN.

IN THE REST OF THE VIDEO, NOT RELATED TO THE FOREST, HE IS

LAUGHING AND JOKING.

IN THE MIDDLE HE HAS THE FORCE THING WHICH IS APPALLING AND HE

BLURTED OUT THE FACE BUT HE DID SAY THAT SERIOUS STUFF, BUT WHEN

HIS CAMERAMAN IS CONCERNED ABOUT STANDING NEXT TO THE BODY HE

JOKES YOU HAVE NEVER STOOD NEXT TO A DEAD GUY BEFORE?

AND

LAUGHS.

OBVIOUSLY PEOPLE ARE CONCERNED THAT IT IS NOT TAKING IT

SERIOUSLY.

WHAT HE SHOULD'VE DONE WAS BROKEN HIS NORMAL

PATTERN AND DONE A MORE SERIOUS ONE ABOUT THIS.

I THINK HIM PUTTING IT UP IS NOT WRONG.

SHOWING THE FULL BODY EVEN WITH THE BLURRED FACE IS PROBLEMATIC.

LASTING IN ANY PORTION IN THE VIDEO IS OBVIOUSLY AN ISSUE.

WHAT HE SAYS IS FOR 460

DAYS STRAIGHT I HAVE BEEN DOING THIS KIND OF VIDEO.

I UNDERSTAND THAT.

A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND ñ

FOR EXAMPLE WE DO A TWO HOUR SHOW.

SOMETIMES PEOPLE ONLY WATCH ONE CLIP AND THEY THINK THAT IS

THE ONLY CLIP WE HAVE EVER DONE.

BUT WE COVER THAT ISSUE 100 TIMES.

BUT HE ALSO SAID AS ONE OF HIS EXCUSES, IT HAPPENED IN THE

SPUR OF THE MOMENT AND WHAT COULD WE DO.

>> YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO PUBLISH IT IN THIS 15 MINUTE LONG VIDEO.

LET ME GIVE YOU HIS EXACT APOLOGY.

PEOPLE WERE ACCUSING HIM OF DOING THIS FOR THE VIEWS, HE

SAYS THAT IS NOT THE CASE.

SUICIDE IS A SERIOUS ISSUE, I DO NOT THINK HE WENT INTO IT WITH

THE INTENTION OF RAISING AWARENESS OF SUICIDE.

THAT IS BS.

SUICIDE REMAINS THE TOP DEATH OF PEOPLE BETWEEN THE AGES OF 15

AND 39 IN JAPAN.

IT IS REALLY BAD JUDGMENT AND HOPEFULLY A HUMBLING MOMENT FOR

HIM.

SO HE CAN MAYBE THINK TWICE BEFORE POSTING MATERIAL LIKE

THAT.

I'M NOT SURPRISED PEOPLE REACTED THAT WAY.

SUICIDE IS A BIG PROBLEM IN THE UNITED STATES AS WELL.

I'M SURE THERE ARE TONS OF FANCY HAD FAMILY MEMBERS WHO TOOK

THEIR OWN LIVES.

INCLUDING IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS JOKEY VIDEO IS NOT THE WAY TO

GO.

>>HE EDITS THE VIDEO, IT IS NOT A LIVE BLOG SO HE COULD OF

DONE IT ANYWAY HE WANTED.

HE CHOSE TO PUT IT IN THE MIDDLE.

IT WAS DEFINITELY WRONG

IN THAT SENSE.

AND HIM SAYING HE IS NOT DOING IT FOR THE VIEWS IS BOTH TRUE

AND NOT TRUE.

SOME OF THE ARTICLES ARE PAINTING IT LIKE IT GOT 6

MILLION VIEWS AND THAT IS WHY HE DID IT.

MAINSTREAM NEWS HAS NEVER HEARD OF YOUTUBE.

ON THE OTHER HAND IS HE DOING IT TO GET VIEWS IN GENERAL?

OF COURSE HE IS.

HE WENT TO THE SUICIDE FORCE BECAUSE HE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE

A COOL THING.

THEN HE MADE THE WRONG JUDGMENT CALL AND IT CAME OUT LOOKING

UGLY.

THE LAST THING IS HE IS 22.

THAT I DO STUPID THINGS WHEN I WAS 22?

YES.

I THINK THERE ARE ñ I THINK HE GETS IT THAT IT WAS WRONG NOT.

>>I THINK THIS IS HONESTLY ñ I AM GIVING HIM THE BENEFIT OF THE

DOUBT ñ I THINK THIS IS A SYMPTOM OF INTERNET CULTURE.

WHAT I MEAN BY THAT IS WE HAVE BECOME SO DESENSITIZED TO THINGS

THAT PEOPLE WILL DO OUTRAGEOUS TERRIBLE THINGS ON A REGULAR

BASIS FOR ATTENTION AND THEY

BECOME INSTANT CELEBRITIES.

AND SOMETIMES YOU GO A LITTLE TOO FAR AND PEOPLE BITE BACK

AND I THINK THAT IS WHAT HAPPENED HERE.

YOUNG YOUTUBERS DO CRAZY THINGS WHETHER IT IS STUNTS OR

PRANKS.

AND IT HAS WORKED HANDSOMELY IN THE PAST.

I THINK THIS IS JUST A SYMPTOM OF A CULTURE THAT HAS BEEN

AROUND FOR A WHILE.

>> YES ON THE INTERNET PEOPLE GET A TON OF ATTENTION FOR

STUFF LIKE THIS.

BUT A LOT OF THAT IS BECAUSE OF MAINSTREAM NEWS.

BOTH HIM AND

HIS BROTHER ARE INCREDIBLY POPULAR ONLINE AND WITH

MILLENNIALS?

SOME OF HIS MUSIC

VIDEOS GET 35 MILLION VIEWS.

INSTEAD THE ONE TIME HE DOES SOMETHING WRONG YOU REWARD HIM

WITH A LOT OF MEDIA COVERAGE JUST TO BE ABLE TO SAY YOU SEE

THIS KID ON THE INTERNET?

HE IS SUCH A BAD GUY.

WHAT YOU DON'T REALIZE IS THAT WHEN YOU DO THAT IT INCENTIVIZES

OTHER PEOPLE TO THINK WHAT CAN I DO THAT IS SO BAD I CAN GET

ATTENTION?

WHEN YOU DO GOOD THINGS NO ONE IN THE MEDIA WILL COVER YOU.

>>THAT IS THE CASE FOR MANY PROFESSIONS.

>> ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

IF TV GUYS GET SLIGHTLY BETTER RATINGS

EVERYONE WILL SAY WHAT A STAR.

HE IS LARGER THAN ANYONE IN CABLE NEWS BY A LANDSLIDE.

AND YET THE ONLY TIME EVER ANYONE COVERED HIM IS WHEN HE

DID SOMETHING WRONG.

Logan Paul - We found a dead body in the Japanese Suicide Forest (Subtitles) (HD Video) (REUPLOAD) - Duration: 15:09.

Okay this is not clickbait this is the most real vlog I've ever posted on this

channel and this is the most circumstantially surreal event that has

ever happened in my life I'm not monetizing this video for obvious

reasons I will say before you watch.This is graphic,I think this definitely marks

a moment in youtube history because I'm pretty sure this has never hopefully

happened to anyone on YouTube ever. Now with that said buckle the f**k up because

you're never going to see a video like this again

[Music]

Hello now I know what you're thinking. Logan what the heck is that

That giant mountainous structure is Mount Fiji that is where they make Fuji

water..No,Mount Fuji..Fiji water is made in Fiji. Fuji apples are made there

Fuji waters made there Fuji water's made over there Don't tell me you don't learn anything

on this channel Aye yo good morning Logang what's poppin'

Its almost 2018, it's the last day of 2017 let's recap for second guys I hope you

had an amazing year I hope you achieve all the goals you wanted to I hope you

had all the sex you wanted to, I hope you got A's on all your tests, I hope you got

better shape but if you didn't do me a favor come up with a new year's

resolution by the end of this vlog cuz we gonna make 2018 great our family's

only getting stronger by the end of 2018 no one knows where the Logan's gonna be so if you have not subscribed

yet, Join the strongest family on YouTube the Logang as you know

Logang, you guys know this my life moves out a thousand miles per hour it's lights camera action and

like two years ago I fell in love with the idea of for New Year's slowing it

down like going somewhere that's really isolated and instead of going out or

partying I'm kind of like we're sort of finding myself so we're in Tokyo Japan

where I figured this was the perfect time to do it because if you look to my

right logang, I give you the Aokigahara Forest

Now here's don't make fun of it but this is a big deal why cuz this forest is also known as the

sea of trees also known as the Japanese suicide forest

Why we have to be in this part This is not a f**king joke

So this is an ancient forest that lies at the base of Mount Fiji, Fuji, Huh Fuji

Fuji water, Fiji water,Fuji like, Fuji you like an apple. Oh like a doctor an apple a day

keeps the doctor away you dummy We gotta focus this is not a... stop

You've seen the videos logang they make

movies about this place they read books about this place, people legitimately

come here to commit suicide about 100 people per year. There's absolutely zero

cell phone service so if you get lost you're f**ked

Okay so dead serious though, when we rolled up here don't say dead, Dude you can't say dead

at a suicide forest, when I rolled up I got the weirdest feeling guys, No joke guys

this place is creepy, so weird. One visitor described the silence as chasms of emptiness, some believe the

ghosts of those abandoned in the mournful spirits of the suicidal linger

in the woods

Folklore claims they are vengeful dedicated to tormenting visitors and

luring those that are sad and lost off the path

[Music]

So allegedly this place is haunted Well that's f**ked up

Cause we're spending the night there That's our canopy tent we also brought a

bunch of stuff for sleeping and camping, and a football to have fun

We got a binoculars so we can see the ghosts

Hey ghosts SIGNS, YO it's scary as this is, we do have our security his name is just Sushi

Now two days ago he had one flashlight yesterday he had two flashlights

Today my man has three flashlights

Ghosts hate flashlights, yeah we are going camping in the suicide forest, I will say if I'm getting haunted by a

ghost I'm gonna do it in my f**king Gucci jacket I wanna to look good, just a couple of

dumb Americans going camping in a suicide forest so we got all our gear we

got a canopy tent, pillows, sleeping bag, logang this is not a plan guys this is definitely gonna be a thing

Camp fire not Forest fire

Camp fire not a Forest fire thanks to the clarification

Can i just put a quick message out there.

Hey if there's ghost in this forest please please leave us alone

Thanks

So this is it and we're officially stepping off the trail into the forest,

Got a 24 hour overnight challenge Who's doin' it!

[Music]

Hey um, I really hate to say this

I think there's someone hanging right there, mmm I'm not even f**kin' kidding, did you see it

I'm not even, this isn't no f**king joke guys that's a fu**ing person..No.. I think you are fu**ing right.

Oh my God..Dude what the heck.. Give me the camera, lets go...what the heck

this Logang this was supposed to be fun vlog we were gonna address this before

we saw this..We were...I'm not just saying this but I was gonna set up the camp and

everything obviously and now experiencing it in real life and firsthand

Suicide is not a joke, depression and mental illnesses are not a joke

No way, we came here with an intent to focus on the haunted aspect of the forest

This just became very real and obviously a lot of people are going through a lot of shit in

their lives and we just want you guys to know that if you're going through

anything like we're here for you your friends your family, the logang's here for you

there are people out there speaking for you (exactly) we just want you guys to know that and remember that

Suicide is not the answer guys there are people that love you and care for you like I said we're gonna do this before

this happens, this just turned really fu**ing way to scarily real

The craziest part about this, the parking lot is right there dude yeah, its literally

right there like guys we're 100 yards away from parking lot, I don't I don't

feel very good (yeah i don't feel good) wait you never never stand next to a

guys all jokes aside, like I said earlier Suicide, mental illnesses, depression

these are very very real things, there are people that love you guys, there are people that care about you

Suicide is not the answer, literally guys what I preach every day is being a

maverick and like it's okay to be different it's okay to be unique in fact

I encourage you to do that so if you're feeling ostracized or isolated that's

fine being depressed is fine, what's not okay is when you don't seek help or talk to people don't feel like you have to

hide your feelings stay strong whatever it is you're going through

anyone can achieve that feeling of being fulfilled and being content and I truly

believe that every person has a place on this earth, with that said weird one this is a weird one

【#019】あけましておめでとう！日本の新年～Happy new year! Events at the beginning of the year in Japan!～ - Duration: 5:01.

Mt.Fuji!!

Hey guys! It's Misaki!

As you can see the background, I came back to my hometown, Gifu!

Finally it's 2018…!

Happy new year and I look forward to your continued good will in the coming year.

I'll talk about Japanese new year today.

First of all, let me tell you about new year's greeting. When you see someone for the first time in new year, we say "Akemashite omedetou gozaimasu".

You can reply "Akemashi te omedetou gozaimasu" or "Omedetou gozaimasu".

I will introduce to you three new year cultures "hatsumoude", "nengajo" and "otoshidama".

The first one is "hatsumoude".

Many Japanese people visit a Shinto shrine in order to make New Year's wishes. This is called hatsumode, the first visit to a shrine.

Like this, you can make New Year's wishes.

There are so many people in some famous shrines in Kyoto and Tokyo on new year day.

Next one is "nengajo".

As I told you in previous video, "nengajo" is New Year's card.

We send it to our friends, relatives and the people we work with.

Nowadays, we send nengajo by email and other mobile applications because of the increasing number of people using cellphones and social networking services.

The last one is "otoshidama".

It is a gift of money we get on New Year's day from our family.

Actually I got it!!

Depending on the ages, elementary school school students will get about 3,000yen and junior high school students, high school students and university students will get about 5,000yen to 10,000yen.

So if you were Japanese and have many relatives in Japan, you would get a lot of otoshidama. On the other hand, the parents have to give a lot of otoshidama.lol

Actually I got "otoshidama" from my mother's aunt and my two grandmothers even I'm already 23 years old…!!I was very surprised.

Today I've talked about three Japanese New Year cultures "hatsumoude", "nengajo" and "otoshidama".

Actually we have so many other cultures such as "osechi ryori", "ozouni" and "kadomatsu", however these cultures are disappearing because of globalization...

If you're interested, check them out on websites and enjoy your new year!

If you like my channel, don't forget to give me a Like and please subscribe my channel! It would be the new year's gift for me!

See you in the next video!

Thank you so much for watching! Bye!

Inside Japan's 'suicide forest' || CACAO TV - Duration: 11:37.

Inside Japan's 'suicide forest'

(CNN)A controversial video by YouTube star Logan Paul shows what appears to be a body hanging from a tree in Japans Aokigahara forest, known throughout the country for the suicides that happen there.

The video sparked wide backlash for its allegedly tone-deaf treatment of suicide and mental health in a country where suicide rates are higher than most in the developed world.

Paul posted a written apology on Monday and a video apology online Tuesday after intense criticism on social media.

  YouTube star Logan Paul was widely criticized for a video featuring a man hanging from a tree in Japan.

The place where he filmed the video, the Aokigahara forest, is known as a place where many people choose to commit suicide, said Karen Nakamura, a professor of anthropology at the University of California, Berkeley, who studies disability and other social movements in contemporary Japan.

Its not surprising to find a body there, she said.

But theres a degree of outrage that a foreigner would choose to trivialize or monetize it through YouTube..

The suicide forest The Aokigahara forest, also called the Sea of Trees, sits right along the edge of Mt.

Fuji, roughly a two-hour drive west of Tokyo.

At the entrance of the forest, a sign reminds visitors that life is a precious gift from their parents.

Quietly think once more about your parents, siblings or children, the sign says in Japanese.

Please dont suffer alone, and first reach out.   A sign at the entrance of the Aokigahara forest urges suicidal visitors to reach out for help.

Aokigaharas dark reputation has been around for decades.

In a popular 1960 novel by Japanese author Seicho Matsumoto, a heroine heads into the forest to take her own life.

More recently, in a 2016 American horror film, The Forest, a woman goes there looking for her twin sister, who mysteriously disappeared in the woods.

Over 100 people who were not from the area surrounding Aokigahara committed suicide there between 2013 and 2015, according to a local government report.

Countrywide, suicides totaled roughly 24,000 people in 2015 alone, according to the countrys Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare.

These numbers do not include attempted suicides.

  Experts have long considered why some choose to come to the forest to die.

Three decades ago, a Japanese psychiatrist who interviewed a handful of Aokigahara suicide survivors wrote that a key reason was that they believed that they would be able to die successfully without being noticed. The psychiatrist, Dr.

Yoshitomo Takahashi, believed that movies and media reports may have also played a role.

Some may have traveled to the forest from other provinces because they wanted to share the same place with others and belong to the same group, he wrote.

Nakamura pointed to research by Emory University anthropologist Chikako Ozawa-de Silva on the trend of online suicide forums in Japan.

According to Ozawa-de Silva, the internet provides an outlet for those seeking social connection, and who fear isolation, to die with others. Nakamura sees a potential parallel to the thought process surrounding the forest: Many people have committed suicide at Aokigahara; thus you wont die alone. Thats why I went there CNN previously interviewed one man who attempted to end his life in Aokigahara.

My will to live disappeared, Taro, a middle-aged man who did not want to be identified fully, told CNN in 2009.

Id lost my identity, so I didnt want to live on this earth.

Thats why I went there.   Taro bought a one-way ticket to the forest, having been fired from his job at an iron manufacturing company.

He lost any sense of financial stability.

You need money to survive, he said.

When he got to the forest, he cut his wrists, but the wounds were not fatal.

He collapsed and nearly died from dehydration, starvation and frostbite but was found by a hiker and saved.

Over the years, there have been some attempts to curb suicides in the forest and nationally.

Local authorities posted security cameras at the entrances of the forest, hoping to track those who walk inside, according to Imasa Watanabe of the Yamanashi Prefectural Government.

The local government also mentions other suicide prevention methods in the forest, such as raising the height of bridge rails, training volunteers to talk to potentially suicidal visitors, increasing police patrolling at the entrances of the forest and discouraging movies and TV shows that might promote the forests reputation as a place to end ones life.

Especially in March, the end of the fiscal year, more suicidal people will come here because of the bad economy, Watanabe previously told CNN.

Its my dream to stop suicides in this forest, but to be honest, it would be difficult to prevent all the cases here.   Lost items are scattered on the ground of the forest.

Suicide in Japan Japan was ranked 26th globally among age-adjusted suicide rates in 2015, according to the World Health Organization.

Overall, there were 15.4 suicides per 100,000 population, which breaks down to 9.2 for women and 21.7 for men.

  That figure sits above most developed nations, including the United States (12.6), the United Kingdom (7.4) and Italy (5.4) but below several others, such as Belgium (16.1) and South Korea (24.1).

One study found suicide death rates to be on the decline in many peer nations from 1985 to 2010, except in Japan and South Korea, where rates increased by 20% and 280%, respectively.

Multiple analyses suggest a major impact in Japan was the economic crisis that struck the country in the late 1990s.

Other studies and government materials have cited a number of risk factors, including academic pressures, depression, overwork, financial struggles and unemployment.

Resources for help   Suicide is an extremely complex phenomenon with multiple factors, including economic recession in Japan, Nakamura said.

Beyond that, theres stigma around receiving mental health care, especially for men, and a greater tendency in Japan to view suicide as a rational decision. One of the terms for suicide is jiketsu, which means to decide for yourself, she added.

Research has shown that some forms of suicide are also seen as less acceptable in certain religious cultures -- but religion in Japan takes less of a hard line, Nakamura said.

Suicide is not a mortal sin as it is under Christianity. Though suicide has historically been a taboo subject in Japan, according to the WHO, the Japanese government has responded since the 2000s with research and programs aimed at lowering the suicide rate across the country.

Some experts have called attention to cultural differences, saying that doctors need to be aware of them in order to offer mental health care thats inclusive of Japanese communities at home and abroad.

For example, Takahashi wrote about how American psychiatrists might learn to spot atypical depressive symptoms in certain Asian populations for whom mental illness is surrounded by stigma and who might be more reluctant to discuss their problems with therapists.

But when it comes to the now-viral YouTube video, the story is less about what sets Japan apart and more about how its often perceived as other by Americans, like 22-year-old Paul, according to one anthropologist.

His motivation to go to this particular spot is not an accident, said Allison Alexy, a cultural anthropologist at the University of Michigan who specializes in contemporary Japanese culture.

It is part and parcel of a larger American fascination with Japan.
