American Befriends Chinese in Japan: Speaks Fluent Chinese: Why do people FOLLOW ME in Japan?

[@OrientalPearl]

Please, no more mask comments on my old videos. There were barely any corona cases in Tokyo at the time of filming this. Few Japanese people were wearing masks outside in early March. Only Chinese immigrants were all wearing them all the time so this video gives you a false sense of the environment in Tokyo at that time. The corona situation has changed a lot now and I wear a mask on camera, when I used to take it off on camera before. Please be aware that this was filmed long before things got serious. Context is key. -Anming

Samiya A I appreciate your opinion, but I want to share asian culture with the KZbin community. In the West it’s not such a big deal to show someone’s face on a public platform, but for Chinese and Japanese it is. Many people don’t ever put their face online at all and substitute it with a profile picture of an animated character. KZbin viewers should be aware of this when they watch these videos. It’s a big taboo in asian culture.

[@OrientalPearl]

Samiya A I just want to help people understand. People also commented on my videos about the sensitivity of filming in Japan. One of my roommates and I got into an argument about it and then we came to an understanding. Other people who know asian culture reached out to ask me about it too. I want to make it clear that I’m not out to embarrass anyone or film them without them knowing it.

Keep it real when replying to the comments. Not implying that you are not, and I know there are quite a bit to sift through. I'm sure there are statistically some "undesirables" as well. But in the ocean of comments, there is, perhaps, the opportunity to connect with others and receive life-enhancing interactions. As much as you give of yourself by sharing your life in vlogs, you can reap the benefit of connecting with all of us as time permits and as you feel led. It is more important to have a few quality interactions that many empty ones. Personally, I would rather not receive a "like" if you haven't had time to read or consider the comments. To get a "like" without a response is akin to being just another number... I am not offended in any way. I still enjoy your videos. Just consider, as you do with your vlogs, the opportunity, and quality of each interaction. What dilutes businesses and relationships is the lack of attention to detail. I hope that you keep the vlogs real and the interactions genuine. In all sincerity, Johnathan.

[@josh_lucas]

I live in Seoul currently and I think it's important for everyone to wear a mask. Even if the surgical masks dont protect you from getting sick, alot of people don't realize they are sick until well after they are infected. If everyone wears a mask, regardless of type or if they think they are sick or not, it will decrease the chances of everyone getting sick in general. Plus, at least in Korea, if you go out without a mask nowadays people look at you strange and kinda avoid you. I wonder if its like that in Japan too. Anyways, stay safe!

[@BruinWalker90]

I look forward so much to watching your videos. I'm so happy I subscribed to your channel. Keep up the great work!

[@OrientalPearl]

BruinWalker90 Welcome to the family. I’m glad you are here.

„We don‘t have much control over what‘s going on in our governments“ *laughs in swiss democracy*

[@its_EZ]

むく you must be fun at parties :) There‘s no country which is perfect or „very good“ It‘s not like my generation was responsible for those late applied voting rights lol. And yes switzerland has one of the highest levels of democracy, there‘s no other country with the same instruments, such as the referendums and the popular initiative which have the SAME impact or significance on for example the constitution and can be used by general public. I too am for legalizing your beloved herbal medicine, but as long as it‘s not legalized, you gotta deal with either smoking private or pay the fine. Using this argument to measure democracy literally doesn‘t make sense, lmao that‘s not political science. You‘re trying to make something look bad because you personally can‘t smoke a blunt in public. Sooner or later this will be solved too but for now there are more important issues to be solved.

Your Chinese sounds very natural and soothing.

Bringing people together.....keep up the good work! Hello from Michigan 😎

[@OrientalPearl]

I'm loving the Michigan shout outs.

[@JeenRsHeart]

09:45 on the bright side, you just dodged like 300 calories.

[@OrientalPearl]

True story! It's all fried in oil.

[@AeroMedic]

@@OrientalPearl You don't have to worry about that.. lol you're plenty healthy.

[@keithstarkey5584]

Hey, don't exagerate: it was only 294 calories! Sheesh! (haha)

[@spaniosskopos9367]

Healthy eating isn't just about what you eat, but also when you eat, where you eat, and what you're doing/thinking about while eating and right after eating. If you walk enough and are positive enough, health is easy to maintain. In actuality we take in more light and air than water and food, so it's no wonder masks are a big thing now with so many environmental toxins, often invisible to the naked eye floating in the air.

[@spaniosskopos9367]

I maintain a similar weight consistently whether I eat a lot(and I can load up on carbs) or a little simply because I am not lazy and also know how to spend time relaxing/meditating. Life is all about balance, and we are always going back and forth between working in motion and resting. A sign of good health is if you can spend a long time in motion and also a good amount at ease in rest. Even when you are in motion, you should be at ease, because being at ease is the opposite of disease. Your emotions should be controlled. Don't let your emotions control you. Let reason and common sense be your guide. Your heart is there to back up and give more power to your positively enlightened mind.

[@thehelluvaparty563]

I've watched many language videos similar to yours, but usually by Americans in American Chinatowns. Yours are legit, the real deal. Why learning in an immersive environment is the way to grok the true value of a second and third language. I was stationed in Germany in the 70s and still understand most Germans and enough to be understood by them 40 years later. Very encouraging. Best of luck in your adventures.

[@OrientalPearl]

Thanks so much! I hope to be unique because I have been here in Asia for 8 years. I don't think many other people on youtube have introduced Chinese and Japanese universities and what it's like to be there.

[@animewatchfree7837]

I think that everyone is staring at her because she doesn't have a mask like others do and it's corona time xd

[@OrientalPearl]

That's not why. Most Japanese outside walking around were not wearing a mask, just Chinese immigrants wore them 100% of the time. Please read the disclaimer comment I posted above.

[@duomax100]

I agreed with you at the end of the Video, politics is politics. We can make friends with anybody, it doesn't matter which nationality they are. It's not easy to get stuck in between. Somehow I can feel it when I am in your shoes. Ganbate... Kudos to you for getting to know 2 new friends.... 😊☺️👍

[@thebrittaniacp]

Your Chinese is so good! This really inspires me and motivates me in my studies!

[@couldYouEverIgnore]

Those people following you, they work for the government and wanted to know what are you up to.

[@robguyton3577]

Neyelson Alves - you are correct, and they do it out of misplaced paranoia. That in turn, is a reflection of poor judgement (as well as poor spy craft) -- which leads to wasted resources. All the while, the real threats go undetected (because they don't make KZbin videos). The upside to this episode is that Anming's videos garnered attention precisely because of the quality of its unusual content.

[@yaplamf]

Explaining the song lyrics 00:35 haha. too funny.

[@tokyosoul7399]

I really don't think she was following you to be honest. You seem a little paranoid...

[@OrientalPearl]

tokyosoul Ha ha, maybe in this case. But 2 years ago I remembering being followed. There was no mistake that time.

[@tuxmania]

@@OrientalPearl Maybe blond white foreigners are still very rare in Japan and people are curious. I think its probably nothing more.

[@tokyosoul7399]

@@OrientalPearl sorry I'm realizing as I'm reading this comment back that it could be taken as mean. I discovered you a few days ago and loves your content, I was just sceptical on this one.

[@willvr4]

Yeah, if you were being stalked, it would be by some dude who was interested in you. Why would some old Japanese lady follow you around?

[@daviejz6698]

@@willvr4 So their are no old lesbians?

[@upholst]

I understand what you mean. I also believe that there are a lot of people at the end of the day who will have your back covered. You have that type of energy that inspires protection.

[@davidmagson6736]

It looks like the same woman who followed me in Kalamazoo a few years ago.

[@OrientalPearl]

I love these Michigan posts lol

[@jjwsvtk9987]

you seem like such a nice and positive person wow, I love how you were making them feel comfortable easily lol, Thank you for your video :))❤

[@OrientalPearl]

Thank you for watching! I'm glad that KZbin is now recommending my videos to more women. There was a very big imbalance in male to female viewers before this. Now it's getting a lot better. I hope you stay in touch!

[@deliberatelypositive5812]

So wholesome what you said at the end about people are just people.. ahh this is why I love language learning.

[@OrientalPearl]

That was the main message of the video. People are people and politics are politics.

[@BlizzardPeak]

Dang. Nice so your bilingual? Awesome. Yeah I want to learn either Japanese or Chinese

[@CV-df3co]

Omg OP 10000 subscribers whoo hoo 👍 let's keep it going guys,just goes to show ppl like watching great real content 👍 see you at 11000😊

[@OrientalPearl]

I'm surprised the number went up so fast. I've had this channel about 10 months and it went unnoticed the entire time. You and everyone else suddenly found it 2 weeks ago. lol

[@董浩-o2d]

Hope everything will be better soon in China and Japan. 🙏🙏🙏你的普通话很标准，真厉害。Thanks for uploading videos in Chinese and about Chinese culture.

[@OrientalPearl]

Thank you! I really hope things get better too. 中国加油

[@steveturner6732]

I just discovered your channel and want to say I LOVE IT! I am also an American traveling throughout SE Asia for the last couple of years, and watch a lot of KZbin videos posted by like-minded travelers. Your channel is one of the few ones that just has a natural, easy-going, and genuine feel. I also love your sense of humor, envy your command of Mandarin and Japanese language, and how easily you are able to relate to those who speak those languages. I would give anything to be able to do that! Also, contrary to what you said in one of your videos, I am American and I happen to think you are very pretty! Anyway, just wanted to say "Kudos to you!", and I hope this whole COVID-19 thing get resolved enough that you can return to China soon. Wishing you the very best...and keep the videos coming!

[@OrientalPearl]

Thank you for the instagram follow too. lol

[@doubled3082]

Another great video OP. 100,000 subscribers by July 4th. I called it 2 weeks ago. That woman at the end was literally stalking you. Yikes!! Well done.

[@OrientalPearl]

You are good at guessing! 1 for 1 so far. Let's see if it will be 2 for 2.

[@iBaudan]

I am amazed when I see people talking Chinese. I am jealous hehehe keep doing this and learning. Greetings from Belgium
