[@MuscleWatching]

You should definitely come to Osaka! And, you should try it, Bannng!!!

[@NightcorEDM]

Spend $500 just to say bang? No thanks

[@sultanarya8337]

dont be rude ok.... in japan you can enjoy everything especially in osaka dont mentioned the money you have spend on that.. money cant buy hapiness right

[@kotokochiharu7210]

Tatsuya, you're full of energy. Thanks for the video. It brings positivity.

[@MuscleWatching]

Yes, I'm always full of energy! I make everybody fun. Thank you!

[@MuscleWatching]

I think so, but It is very hard thing. If I go to Tokyo for this interview, I will cry. haha

[@sevenproxies4255]

The interviewees in Osaka do seem more enthusiastic and friendly compared to the interviews you've done in other Japanese cities actually.

[@ScienceDiscoverer]

Cos he is from Osaka? :D

[@ismailniyaz5167]

Osaka is known as the comedy capital of Japan, and the people there are seen as being more expressive than others. My Japanese teacher is actually from Osaka and she's always complaining about how the people from northern Japan are aloof and have no sense of humor.

[@dragonamu]

the most positive asian boss' video

[@whybora]

dragonamu I was thinking the same thing when I watched this is the morning 😂😂

[@TheLocara]

"Omae wa mou shindeiru" "Nani?!" "BANG"

[@kitsura]

The Dude Oraoraoraora....

[@lalakuma9]

Is this JoJo meme? I feel like everything is JoJo these days.

[@hindsightpov4218]

Oh, snap. People from Osaka talking smack about people from Tokyo. 😂

[@sparky8453]

HindsightPOV people in Tokyo talk smack about Osaka ?

[@juniorhuachoguisado6640]

bang

[@michaelcullen3239]

I live in Tokyo. They see themselves as polite and humble, and further west as a bit more rude and aggressive (Osaka being an extreme example). The west sees themselves as more lively and fun, and Tokyo as boring and cold. They're both right about all those points to be honest.

[@cee_el]

It goes both ways if you ask someone from Tokyo about Osaka lol. It’s true though. Osaka is more loud, crazy, friendly while Tokyo is more proper, serious, and cold. It just depends on which lifestyle you prefer more.

[@moyga]

It happens all the time in Osaka haha

[@NoneHandle2023]

When you finally realise.... Inuyashiki is really an anime where two delusional people go around Osaka shouting "BANG!" at everyone, thinking they have super powers, can fly and cure cancer... and everybody in Osaka just go along with it for 11 whole episodes because they're nice people. What a great story.

[@ayumisanyuki7116]

Enuma Elis lol that anime, never knew it's a thing in real life good to know (y)

[@HDtothe8]

Hahahahaha psychological comedy

[@hardlybreathe93]

I hold off watching it because it got memed hard and got popular with edgelords. Maybe its the time to watch it

[@osbaldofernanez8359]

Word it's crazy

[@NoneHandle2023]

I am moving to Japan next month to live there and experience this magic.

[@kkim2333]

Firstly, the clickbait is REAL with the adorable girl. Secondly, thanks for these lighter/positivity inducing videos every now and then Asian Boss! And thirdly, I should've done this when I went a couple months ago D:

[@Mp3tjuh]

K Kim Calling that clickbait? I assume you have a rather jealous reaction tbh.

[@arianadourre]

Dude there is a guy with a finger gun. calm your mind

[@kkim2333]

LoveInHell wait why would I be jealous LOL. I'm a male who appreciates cuteness xd Just saying its clickbait cause her cuteness forces you to watch the video AHHHHH

[@Aerochalklate]

not clickbait, but it is clickbait if you know what ai mean 😏

[@frankinsaneandmyrrh1202]

yeah it is sliiightly clickbait because she was only in the video very briefly, but not so bad as far as clickbaits go

[@famousamos]

I loved Osaka. It is so much fun!

[@jpsol21]

loved?

[@famousamos]

jpsol21 past tense because I've been there, traveled all over there, and thoroughly enjoyed my time there. I am not there anymore lol.

[@osaka6313]

Nani!?!

[@jellyjellywowie]

If I see you again I swear

[@beastheadshot7]

Most refreshing video I've seen on this channel yet! Keep up the amazing work!

[@gregai8456]

The bowl cut hair girl is too cute

[@Onika4203]

Greg Ibara yes!! she makes my heart melt!

[@Kira-bo2lq]

Greg Ibara Agreed! She was the cutest one! I want her to be in the next Kdrama I watch 😂

[@whybora]

Imani Mitchell She's not Korean, she's Japanese...

[@hericobailas6258]

Imani Mitchell wtf

[@Kira-bo2lq]

I didn’t know you had to be Korean to be in a Kdrama. I’ve seen plenty of Japanese actors in Kdramas

[@Penguinssss]

Osaka is the place to be!

[@Velvet3den]

I'm going to stay in Osaka for a half year, and since I love Tokyo I've felt a bit nervous about it but this video gave me a more positive image of Osaka :)

[@Elwen-xs7gr]

Velvet3den I heard from foreigner who has Japanese friend, she( the Japanese) told the foreigner, Japanese from Osaka and Japanese from Fukuoka don't like Japanese from Tokyo because they(Japanese from Osaka and Fukuoka) think Japanese from Tokyo are snobbish.

[@Velvet3den]

Elwen 1294 I've heard the same, as well as people from Tokyo warning me about Osaka people because they can be too much (like looking out for chikan etc)

[@Elwen-xs7gr]

Velvet3den So, I guess Japanese could dislike each other too depends on dialect and their region too:( What do you mean by 'looking out for chikan'? I am sorry English is not my native, so I am confused the term "looking out for" ._. Is that mean like Osaka people can grope you or sexually harassed foreigners on the train?._.

[@Velvet3den]

Elwen 1294 yes, well it happens in Tokyo too but those people meant since Osaka people are more straight forward the risk would be higher to meet a pervert xD not sure if it's true or just plain prejudices :p

[@IWantToStayAtYourHouse]

Im from osaka. people here are a lot more friendly than tokyo. Theres also stronger accent for japanese so beware. My grandparents have the strongest osaka-ben

[@amass78]

Osaka definitely have one of the friendliest people around. I went last year for one day, took the train from Tokyo. When I got to Osaka I was looking for Dontoburi, this young lady was with her mom and they asked if I needed helped and said they will walk me there. Even with their limited English they still tried to talk to me and get to know me. I was shocked because I’m not used to people being so nice. Thanks young lady with your mom.

[@saldiven2009]

I've been to Osaka a couple of times, and the people there are more outgoing than in any other part of Japan that I've visited, but still relatively reserved compared to the USA where I'm from. But, I've been at street concerts where, when the singer noticed a foreigner standing around watching, he started talking to me. He asked me if I knew who Shohei Ohtani was, and stuff like that.

[@baamonster2]

The guy talks funny. Also it's nice learning about the differences from different cities. Reminds me LA vs NY.

[@alirakkara6874]

The child in the stroller be staring at the adults like, "daddy, why are you talking to the wierd stranger and why is he holding a wierd black box to your face???"

[@johnlee7362]

Gurl throwing serious shade: "We live a very peaceful life, here in Osaka so we usually don't get shot at. "

[@Shin-nl8oz]

As an Osakan, I feel it was kind of her joke as well.

[@NyamNyamNyam]

They are so funny.. didnt know they would react like that.

[@dncviorel]

Well, it's not that funny, but it's kinda cute I guess.

[@leswhynin913]

I did this here in Canada and the bank teller gave me stacks of cash. Will try again 👍

[@c4ghts1]

Japanese can makes these types of jokes and it look like harmless fun, do this in USA and get beat up

[@huiyang4231]

so true

[@sevenproxies4255]

Americans need to stop being so violent and uptight then.

[@piyushsingha8701]

There cops will shoot u without any warning

[@HTSN1]

Slice Of Life, just you

[@lisabertolucci5908]

Dummy, how about if you do it in russia ?

[@alirakkara6874]

THE PEOPLE IN THE BACKGROUND STARING AT THEM PLAYING WITH IMAGINARY KATANAS THOUGH

[@FeeDBacKMKII]

cause they want also play with them XD

[@KlutzyBoss]

nobody is staring at them

[@manoellima2881]

here in Rio de Janeiro, brazil, if you hear "Bang" people lie on the floor!

[@xemnomiho]

Socorro eu pensei a mesma coisa

[@xemnomiho]

Alô cidade maravilhosa 🔫🔫

[@vivicandyful]

Infelizmente é a realidade

[@steffahn]

Lol, this is the funniest I have seen in a long time..

[@PandaPanTerror]

THIS IS SO ADORABLE 💕💕💕😂😂😂

[@syahmieshahar1679]

Japan travel tips: If someone is messing with you in Osaka, tell them you're with The Shimano Family. If they're asking who's your boss, tell them it's Goro Majima.

[@april00026000]

A Japanese stereotype is that they are always serious and lack the sense of humor, which I found out was for the most part false when I visited, so I'm glad that they did the video like this to show that Japanese people are in fact friendly and are humorous as well.

[@IWantToStayAtYourHouse]

Only in japan can you do this and not get beaten up

[@isaacharing]

I can think of a few other countries, but I get your point! 😊👍

[@Cruxador]

Pretty sure I could do this in most places I've lived.

[@jacobl.743]

maybe Korea too if it was a trend there

[@littlefish9569]

PH too! They will laugh hard instead or ignore you just dont do it with rich people You know them they think they should be repected likr gods(most of)😉😂😂

[@mohamedchakibmokrane2707]

I can feel the diffrent between Osaka's ppl and Tokyo's. That was refreshing

[@alexander707576]

Finally a positive video, rather than controversial/political from Asian Boss

[@mkznan5963]

Osaka people seem really fun. Guess I’ll change my accomodation from Kyoto to Osaka then for my upcoming trip

[@highrankednoob7919]

kansai folks are really the funny guys of japan lol, i live both in saitama for 2 years and in nara for 2,5 years, these kansai people really do know how to have a good time

[@lejaponennoiretblanc]

Osaka BANG 😂🤣ばりおもろかったわw

[@andingatacho9262]

Le Japon en Noir et Blanc©️ I got it. 😂😂😅

[@nanye3063]

osaka sounds like a good place

[@silverrain530]

Nan Ye It is.

[@ayjaybay93]

This is hilarious 😂😂😂 at first I thought it was just a silly trend like the ones that pop up every few months in America, which is still funny, but it’s been going on for decades. That’s awesome!!!!!!

[@xerotonin6776]

It's decided, when I get my chance to move to Japan, I'm going to Osaka.

[@lambdadelta7327]

Lol definitely going to try this now. I love seeing how people react to things so I'm surprised I never thought of something so simple

[@royxeph_arcanex]

7:55 the fact they laughed when she told him "Don't intervene!" just shows how funny Japanese people find Manzai to be

[@Alaskan-Armadillo]

Props to you guys for going to Osaka I always thought everywhere in Japan was just like Tokyo where it was super formal and reserved but Osaka definitely seems much easier going then Tokyo.

[@yujitsuzuki5439]

I'm from Nagoya. I always wanted to move to Osaka so badly! I've met way more nicer people from Osaka than Tokyo back in the day. If you know "culture" Tokyo doesn't have to represent Japan as a whole. People always ask me about Tokyo aa of the mass media and such. I'm living in U.S now but if I ever got a chance to move back, I would go for Osaka for sure.

[@asparagusmelontoast]

This is humor

[@thesunnyboy777]

That woman with the black shirt, yellow bag and spectacles is a golden retriever in Osakan form.

[@kotokochiharu7210]

HIROKO.. please make this video in Tokyo, let's see how the Tokyoites really reacts to Bang.

[@hirokotv1602]

Kotoko Chiharu hahaha really wanna try it out!

[@valecious7552]

Can't agree more. Make it happen, Asian Bosses.

[@accmuse6571]

Hiroko TV 大阪は日本全国から旅行者が集まりますが、大阪旅行中の人が見知らぬ外国人にいきなりbangをやられたらあまりいい気持ちはしないんじゃないでしょうか。個人的には見知らぬ外国人にいきなりbangと言われたらとても不愉快です。コメント欄を見ても複数の国の人が自分の国でbangをやったら「刺される」とか「撃ち殺される」とかネガティブな事を書いてました。(だいぶ誇張されているとは思いますが少なくとも良い印象ではないようです) 大阪の繁華街には中国・韓国人も多く来ています。しかしながらアジア人以外の人種からすると日・中・韓国人の区別はほぼつきません。このビデオを見た外国人が、大阪に旅行で来た中・韓国人に向かってbangをやってトラブルになる可能性も十分に考えられます。 ビデオの最後の方の英訳で"definitely try 'bang' on a stranger."と書いてありました。確かにビデオでは通りすがりの2名の方には何の前触れもなくいきなりbangをやっていましたね。この英訳と映像から、大阪人かどうかもわからない"a stranger"にいきなりbangをする外国人がでてくるかもしれません。 上述した通り大阪にいる人が全部大阪人とは限りません。妙な誤解や不要な争いを生む可能性があるので"a stranger"という表現は止めて下さい。

[@zenandetwalo2299]

This was fun to watch ☺

[@kawaiijp6638]

make sure you only do it in osaka.

[@RS-gz5od]

Shut up

[@kageokami5]

I studied abroad in Osaka for a semester and I didn’t see this at all. I will say that the people I talked to in Osaka seemed to be much more friendly than the people I talked to in Tokyo.

[@winter-star9450]

If you do this in Finland everyone would think you are drunk.... :D

[@Voimandiimon]

J G That cracked me up so bad :´)

[@shouko4218]

I like that reporter 😊

[@NorthernGaijin]

If I did bang in Sweden most young people would laugh, older people would be annoyed. And a very few amount of people would react like the people in Osaka!

[@acraze2u]

I miss Osaka so much!! It’d be nice to live there again. The people there were so friendly and the food was so good!!! Dotonbori!!!

[@zragon]

Bang Bang... Dadadadadadadadadada... Huh? Everyone dead already -HiR0

[@mayuripanchal874]

Syaoran kun 😂😂😂 When I saw the title of this video, Shishigami was the only one I thought of. XD

[@zragon]

真優梨ちゃん でしょう~

[@Kpopstanlikelee]

the dude who actually laid on the floor is way too funny

[@1wasinAlpha]

The guy in the end who cut in front of the camera... just showed how Osaka people are in life :D

[@MageThief]

Lots of energy from Tatsuya :)

[@wifebeater69]

Tokyo is to New York as Osaka is to Vegas or Miami lol

[@jied_bass]

the guy who created great teacher onizuka is the funniest

[@ehmzed]

The guy with the Jamaica t-shirt, yellow shorts and black cap looks fiiine

[@nalinh0]

damn he is i was like 👀

[@whybora]

Oh my 😂😂😂 But it's true!

[@sunlighteu]

Ahhh one of the reasons why TREASURE Asahi is so naturally funny! He's from Osaka !!!

[@osakameetup]

If you go to Osaka, join a meetup and meet and speak to the locals who enjoy speaking English and meeting foreigners.

[@hopew6979]

LOL! This was so random but I loved it! BAAAANG! When I go to Osaka next spring, I'm trying this out on people hahaha.

[@efrainortiz1543]

That small girl with glasses and short hair it's melting down my heart

[@tiastevens8262]

If i ever visit japan i definitely want to go to osaka the people look so nice

[@FeeDBacKMKII]

i can recomend you this great city nowhereis it easier to make kontakt with japanese people then in osaka kay maybe Okinawa too...

[@sokratesnudelsuppe5937]

FeeDBacKMKII that's true. Japanese are in general very cold and reserved but people from osaka are known for their extraverted-out going personality.

[@saudadeanguish3139]

Tia Stevens same😄

[@donkisot4355]

I decided i will go to osaka . I liked them. They are really warm people

[@spitfirez89]

I visited Osaka just a week ago. The people there are so friendly and helpful and there is so much to do. Would def recommend a visit to Osaka!

[@nora4981]

For a country with a dark past, the Japanese are very delightful people.

[@KyranSparda]

This video made me fell in love with Osaka.

[@pietrocr7]

3:30 omg ahaahah that's the best impersonation of a Tokyo guy I ever seen, fr ahaahah

[@gracie-ru9rg]

I did this to my mom and she asked me if I needed a therapist 🗿

[@ynazzra]

Osaka-ben is so refreshing to hear!

[@ElderSign32]

This video had a very different feel to it, and I enjoyed it quite a bit. The interviewer's charisma took it to another level

[@thylatrash7668]

omg i'm in love with the interviewer, he seems so cheerful and sunny, listening to him talk really brightened my day :)

[@sakesako1250]

Can you do a video in 2 parts about Kansai vs Kanto (good spirit) please? Nice video love your work about every country!

[@stahppls2293]

That one lady moved to Osaka from somewhere else for sure 😅

[@localtavernsluteplayer2182]

I’m so glad I clicked on this video

[@bgates275]

Must be a small city versus big city thing. While I can't speak for Osaka versus Tokyo, I definitely noticed the difference between people in Busan versus Seoul, when I was in Korea. I'd say life in Busan was slower paced, where people may have time to joke around, and the people there were definitely warmer and friendlier. The people in Busan also seemed less status conscious and more comfortable in their own shoes. Seems the same is true of Osaka.

[@plantwater0712]

I would love to visit here someday! Bang!

[@e.l.a5455]

i can tell just from this interview that people seem more lively and talkactive in osaka compared to other parts of japan such as tokyo

[@SusannahlovesMiley]

This was so funny!! Kept thinking of Bigbang the whole time tho XD

[@andreagullo1700]

I immediately reacted on the chair to the "BANG" at the end of the video XD

[@mihos1462]

BANG!🔫😂 また大阪に遊びに行きたくなりました〜👍🏼✨

[@lalakuma9]

I went to Osaka with my parents, and we asked a random guy to take a photo of us. He proceeded to take a selfie of himself with our phone 🤣

[@amenooni4204]

Currently I am foreign student in Japan and I used to live in Osaka. Now I am living in a small city far from Osaka, but inside I am still Osaka-jin :D Osaka is the best!

[@stellafleuret9150]

WOW, that was a different kind of video compared to others. And boy it was awesome! AMD THE INTERVIEWER LOOKS SO SYMPATHETICALLY! Even if you have one of your worst days, he will make you smile!

[@sinenomine9093]

Great episode, Thanks for that.

[@Wooster77]

A lot of kids who say "cringe" dont seem to know what it means.

[@potterlover17]

Tatsuya reminds me of Rock Lee haha he’s so energetic and happy! It’s fun to watch =)

[@minutekanji7082]

Hahaha GREAT INTERVIEW! I wasn't expecting that reactions（⌒▽⌒）They all seem really happy and relaxed

[@user-nx8wv6ch7b]

I am preparing to be always beaten when I am in Osaka.haha

[@roselamoure]

I need to go to Osaka as soon as possible😍💜😍 the people are so nice and cute it‘s mind blowing 🙈 love them

[@flabberghastedjetty1675]

I've been looking to go on a trip to Japan once I've saved enough money, and I've been torn on where to go as the main location between Osaka and Kyoto. Guess this settles it, hello in advance Osaka :D

[@floydmaseda]

We stayed in Osaka and took a day trip to Kyoto. Also visited Nara to see the deer park and the big Buddha at Todaiji.

[@FeeDBacKMKII]

i deppends what city you prefer if you search for the trational tempel and wood houses and like it more quiet then kyoto is your choice if you like it crazy loud and chaotic then osaka is the right one also its very easy to make contact with osaka people

[@sorryimshy5412]

Talk about charm! Osaka people must have it in loads

[@shintuxedo7564]

My Hometown!!嬉しい !! ありがとう!! ASIAN BOSS!

[@SendMoreParamedics13]

When I decided to move to Asia, the plan was originally to move to Osaka. Financially it made more sense to move to SE Asia, so that's what I did. This makes me wish I had moved there! I heard only good things about the people there, and I guess this goes to show! That girl doing the impressions with her two friends was too funny. I really can't wait to visit Osaka!

[@caceve00]

Can confirm about people in Osaka are friendly and will talk to a stranger. I was lost and asked a group of 2 girls and 1 guy for some directions. As they escorted me where I needed to go. The guy asked me what I think of his lady friends and said they are looking for a boyfriend. Ahaha totally put me on the spot. If you smile at someone in Osaka, they will smile back.

[@user-wi1by2ev5j]

確かに大阪の方は可愛くてオモロイ❤ ー韓国人ー

[@hanalav6302]

6:21 の人ってメッチャ面白いやな爆笑

[@_yhangus146]

0:39 that two Japanese girl are too cute😍

[@HDtothe8]

That girl in black T-shirt and glasses is a bundle of joy! I was having a rough day, looking at her made me smile ☺️. If the girl is reading this then always be like the way you are 👍

[@r.c.beringuela2426]

I don't regret wasting close to 9 minutes of my life watching this video.

[@Maugrim76]

Do more stuff on Osaka! This city seems fun, the people have this warm and welcoming vibe and they have a nice sense of humor. I would say, predominantly, if you did say "BANG!" to people here in Sweden, most people would probably either shake their heads and ask you to get a life or they would pretend they didn't hear/see you and carry on walking. :-)

[@user-my3ml8yt7t]

1😊8y

[@jishiguo9167]

Please stop making fun of us lol From Osaka But seriously I think this is kind of stereotype, as some guys in this video say, some will ignore your “bang”, EVEN IN OSAKA, and I’ll do too. Japanese huge medias are located in Tokyo and they describe us as THEY WANT to describe, so some uniqueness are exaggerated. Some Osakans don’t have any sense of humour, some are completely cold, some are so much shy. I also feel Osaka is a pretty unique city but not all of us. Sorry my poor English.
