Cathy Cat the flashy reporter looking extra flashy today.

I think the handheld mic wasn’t on and the audio is coming from the camera. Very compressed and a lot of background. But thanks for the fun interview!

人の好みに規制をかけない文化が有ります、何で人を批判できるのか、何で人を評価するのかと反発する方が日本文化です。日本はどんな好みでも批判しないが、自分は受け入れないだけです。誰も欧米人の様に、評価したがらない、批評文化が無いのです。人に好みを押し付ける必要性は何処から生まれたのかな。不思議な欧米人ですね。

電車で助けないパターンとして １、本当に無関心 ２、シャイで他人に声を掛けるのが恥ずかしい ３、ありがた迷惑(実は助けは不要で迷惑だった)の可能性がある どれかだと思うけど、1だけではないというのは分かってほしい。 それでも日本人が道案内までして親切にしてくれたって言う外国人だっていっぱいいるけどね。

二人とも衣装が凄く似合ってました。

Cathy, that outfit is on fire!

Where Cathy? All I see is Marie Rose doing the interview

I never eat raw chicken, I'm Japanese though. 日本でもカンピロバクターやギランバレー症候群 って知られているので生の鶏肉は食べたら危険だと知っている人は多いと思いますが、生の鶏肉を出してる店があるんですね。私の知り合いが沖縄で半生の鶏肉食べてカンピロバクターになって入院しました。飲食店では絶対に生の鶏肉をいくら新鮮でも出しちゃダメだと思います。

I don't think there are many Japanese people who like to eat raw chicken, beef, or horse meat. After all, unlike fresh fish, chicken, beef, and horse meat carry the risk of infectious diseases.

A the 1st video from EVO Japan!

Great video! Thanks for the double subtitles.

This was very interesting. The audio was a bit thin but still audible. It sounds like the mic was out of phase. BTW Cathy, you have a perfect nose and a great profile! ❣

Thanks! Cathy Cat 🐱 good interview i’m sure that no matter how weird you or your friend think you are forget about it lol 😂 i live in the States and NY State so when the going gets weird the weird turn pro and i would think that after 9 or 10 years of living in Japan 🇯🇵 you would have difficulty expressing anything to English speaking people cause the thinking is different , have a great day people you’re great 👍

is it me or is the audio a bit worse than usual ?

Thumbs up if you were there for Cathy’s livestream on twitch on this day!

❤

i hope everyone realizes that the japanese DO know what appropriation is and are very against it in certain contexts. its why the japanese government sent a letter to Kim Kardashian when she wanted to call her company “Kimono”. after educating her about how offensive it would be, Kim changed the name to “Skims”. appropriation in the western world and in a homogenous society like japan presents itself in different ways.

the blue haired guy is soooo my type!!! it’s so unfair 🥹🥹🥹

The last lady seemed so fun and sweet! I would love to be her friend

definitely going to japan next year

Do they wear swimsuits??

The only people who get offended are Americans…

maximum weeb achieved here

Hong Kong mentioned ❤🥹

new word unlocked: 露出

I would love to learn how to properly wear a Kimono and Yukata. They're both really pretty. The guy that said he wishes kimonos were just as popular as western style suits is on to something, why is western style common clothing the prominent day wear? We should be encouraging folks from other cultures to bring their own culture into mainstream fashion. Everyone deserves to be represented in the world, not just western/European people.

I'm sorry but if its hot I'm dressing for the occasion lol i know I'm fat and all but i hate sweating to death

i'm french and i dare to use kilt more than pant. But i wouldn't use kimono as my everyday wear, i'm too shy for that. Having said that, i would like to have more than one yukata in my wardrobe. The problem was that when i was in japan (i went here twice), i mostly saw woman kimono and only a few men kimono. I'm not talking about yukata, but the more formal one, specificaly the spring/autumn kimono (that the one i want). I've tried to go to a big market in kyoto but it was raining so i didn't dare to try the kimono here because i was really wet. I wish i could find one, preferably a black one (with a colorfull obi )

The walking and smoking thing tho... geez if it bothers you say something and maybe the guy won't do it anymore. People who act like everything is cool but low key judge you are the WORST.

This interview left Japanese Americans and Japanese Europeans out. Their experiences obviously differ from native Japanese living among native Japanese.

Thank you for this video, I am Japanese American and dream of the day of Visiting Japan and weearing a Kimono. Even thought I am only part Japanese I did not want to offend anyone.

The whole 'cultural appropriation' thing is just virtue signaling run wild. Can you imagine someone in Japan berating a Japanese person for wearing a cowboy hat, cowboy boots and jeans, while eating BBQ? That would be absurd and the person doing it should feel absurd. Culture dies when it isn't practiced and appreciated, and people who sincerely want to participate will never be unwelcome.

Just w translation question. Why was Yakuta used sometimes but also translated as Kimono?

It’s simple before even watch this! If you have emotional intelligence you’re 1000 times above this shit.

In Asia they have emasculated men its a culture of decay.

7:47 her voice is so cute.

Remember the only people who are against non japanese wearing kimono are 1. uncultured terminally online non asians and 2. xenophobic japanese people, dont listen to either

Yeah good luck trying to guess their signals with those silly face diapers on 😅😅😅

Dated a half-Japanese guy from Japan in Hawaii. We dated as co-workers, and he would only go as far as kissing me hello and goodbye on the cheek before and after work if co-workers weren’t there or were busy elsewhere He would kiss on the lips in public at night with little to no people around, but we mostly held hands. Only when he was drunk did he ever go full-on PDA with a ladies-first attitude… He eventually warmed up to more intimacy much later if I asked at the right time. I broke it off with him when we lost communication of our needs since we couldn’t agree to a compromise

고마워요 - thank you

love your channel jealous you speak japanese

[1:54] Here in Melbourne (Australia) we have Standing on Left, walk on Right. However, that’s not the rule Australia wide.

I also read somewhere, “it’s ok to wear kimono, but you should be careful about the type for the time of year; summer kimono in the summer, etc.”

As a German I can only say, that there is a WILD interest in Kimono (and other colourful, traditional clothing) here! We look like a drab bunch of people (and maybe we are) but that makes colourful, lively clothing only _more_ enticing to us! (even if we feel awkward buying or wearing it but that doesn't mean we don't secretly want to)

And always wear good socks. You will never guess when you have to take off your shoes, don't get caught barefoot in an awkward situation!

Wow, I wonder where that beach is?

It's pointless to ask someone living in a country where there own culture is dominant if they mind foreigners using parts of their culture aka are they worried about cultural appropriation. The answer will most likely always be a yes that it's ok. This question only makes sense to ask people who live in a country where they're a cultural minority, ones where the dominant group is from another culture and tensions exist between the groups. That is what causes the response of cultural appropriation. When a dominant group in a country appropriates parts of minority cultures in the same country, it's usually upsetting due to the history of xenophobia faced by the minorities cultures. Also it's hilarious to ask this question to people selling kimonos - of course they're gonna say everyone should wear them they're trying to sell their product. Just another example of biased citizen reporting where the survey design is meant to give you the answers you want to fit your hypothesis. And people don't critically analyze the information because they're just looking to reinforce the biases that align with their worldview.

I've always wanted one, this makes me so happy.

"Make sure the side where your heart is is on top." Mine's on the wrong side, this is exactly the same problem I had with the AoT salute, it feels so weird to be wrong just because I have a couple internal organs shuffled I'M SORRY I'M TRYING TO BE TOO LITERAL, HELP. 😅 Edit: Wait no this is actually good; my goth arse is already out here looking like a dead person, this is cool.
