When I went to Japan, I managed to be able to go to Sanja Matsuri. I bought a yukata and went to Asakusa. I got a lot of looks and everywhere I walked I would get a compliments, mostly from older men and women. I would walk by and someone would say "kyuuto (cute)!" or "kawaii!" or "kirei!" Little old ladies and girls and their families literally ran up to me, wrapped their arm around mine and asked for a picture with them because I was "special" There was also the few people who walked past me and just said "Yo!" I think black women should go to Japan. My experience was very nice and I was treated very well :)

[@tanaraeh]

Thanks for acknowledging that the media does not feature us as much. I have never heard of any Asian acknowledging things like that. I also dig that you admitted to asking black women out. When I was growing up, black girls were constantly told that Asian guys hated us. It really sucked because I had a huge crush on a Chinese classmate for years and I never spoke to him, not out of fear of rejection, but fear of offending him, simply because I am black. My pathetic side has lowered myself to occasionally looking at his FB page nowadays, but that is only when I am feeling extra brave lol. To this day I have never had a conversation with an Asian guy. It's sad because I am 31, and I still like Asian guys the best. I have plenty of Asian female friends though. So I really do appreciate you not only acknowledging the topic, but admitting that we are acceptable partners as well... Hearing this come from an Asian guy, is a first for me. So many many thanks =)

[@jmc7788]

If you're from a country like America, he likely wouldn't be offended. In fact, I highly doubt any Asian would be offended that you spoke to them simply because you were black.

[@tanaraeh]

+jmc7788 Hahaha yes I know that now. That happened over 15 yrs ago. Now I simply don't know any =/ But thanks for the positive feedback =)

[@Amy-se5ld]

You should stop looking for validation it's only hurting you in the end. Any guy would be lucky to date you, and if they wouldn't that there loss. It's important to have a healthy mindset before you go off and maybe find some Asian guy and start a family with him so you don't pas down that inferiority to your kids. Incredibly damaging as a mixed person growing up when one of your parents hates even a tiny part of themselves. Good luck, love~

[@tanaraeh]

Thanks for your feedback. Keep in mind that those thoughts were in the mind of a teenager lol. Though even then I was not looking for validation. I think it is important for everyone to have a healthy mindset in general, not just when approaching someone. I think that if people are going to have mixed children it is both parents equal responsibility to instill pride of both cultures into their upbringing. So I couldn't agree with you more. The negative thoughts I had as a kid were not an inferiority complex, they were simply thoughts I had in response to what I had been told was truth by others...only to find out later on it was not. I just wasn't wise/brave enough to go find out on my own at the time. Even as a kid I loved the skin I was in, I was just told that I shouldn't (which is common in the USA as I'm sure it is in many other places). But all in all, I think this is a topic that should definitely be discussed more, if anything just to breakdown any miscommunications between different groups of people. Thanks so much for the compliment though, I really appreciate it. Cya ^_^

[@shelleya.thunder2494]

Yuta, good video. As a black Jamaican-American woman, I can actually personally relate to what you've explained. Prior to 2012 when I started watching, and got severely addicted to, Korean TV shows I never saw Asian men as 'men'. I saw Asian people on a whole as my fellow human brothers and sisters who I knew existed in the world, but whose paths I didn't cross almost at all. But seeing Asian men as sexual beings who I could possibly be attracted to never crossed my mind. That's because I very rarely interacted with Asians, even though there are large communities of Korean and Chinese people in the countries I've lived in. I did have some Korean & Chinese class mates (but very very very few Japanese - in fact I think I've only had one Japanese classmates my entire life) when I was growing up & in college, but no deep friendships were ever formed. I didn't put in the effort to get to know them and neither did they so we kind of interacted only when we had to (forced to) and only for a short while. I've interacted with very very few Japanese men and people in general. Moreover, in Western media, Asian faces are almost non-existent as well. They are few and far between. And I'll go ahead and admit that the usual stereotypes about Asians subconsciously influenced my behaviour towards Asian people. But in 2012 I was exposed to a whole new world when I started binge watching Korean TV shows, which not long after led to watching TV shows from Japan, China, Taiwan ... and the realization that OMG, Asian men are hot!!! I want to marry one now! lol A momentary bout of yellow fever, but that phase has long since passed and now I'm just genuinely interested to learn about the different Asian cultures and their people. I know everything you see in a TV show isn't a true depiction of real life, but it's been great gaining that tiny bit of insight into Japanese and other Asian cultures. And today I can safely say that if I meet an Asian man and we hit it off I'd have no objections to dating him (well, just as long as he's taller than me! That's my only requirement, and it's a requirement for ALL men, not just Asians! :) So yes, I'm sure if Japanese men were more exposed to Black women / people on a whole -- real live black women and not just the caricatures of black people that you often see on TV, of course they'd date. Black people are just like every other people - you have some ugly ones and some good looking ones; some bad ones and some good ones. The rule of attraction doesn't discriminate along racial lines. As long as 2 people have a common connection, sparks are likely to fly and love can blossom (regardless of race). Last but not least I want to commend the initiative you've taken to expand understanding between black and Asian people who are curious about each other. While the intention of the group is to encourage the possibility of romance, it's so much more than that too. It's bringing together two races of people who hardly interact and challenging held stereotypes/prejudices on both sides. It's good work. It's important work to foster a better future for the next generation. I hope when I come to Tokyo sometime in the near future the meetup group will still be in existence. Never let racist trolls like the vermin spouting off nonsense down below educate you or your fellow Japanese countrymen about Black people. Go out and interact with them instead. You'll realize we're not the sum of our blackness. Black people are as diverse as there are birds in the sky. You come across as a well-traveled, educated man so this particular comment is more for the benefit of your readers. IF they made it to the end of this very loooong comment! Looking forward to your next video Yuta! Cheers! :)

[@TsubataLately]

As it happens, I'm not the only black person most of my Japanese friends know, but I probably am the only American and definitely the only woman. I remember one dinner with a mixed group of friends, Japanese and foreigners, when at one point pretty much all of the Japanese people proclaimed that they had no interest in dating anyone non-Japanese (including the guy I was hardcore crushing at the time). It was a bit of a gut blow at the time. Japanese people (men and women) ask me all the time if I'm interested in Japanese guys, and seemingly expecting a "no" answer, are genuinely surprised when I say that I don't take ethnicity and race into consideration.

[@RedHairdo]

+花白い It's odd, honestly, because they are often BOTH extremely closed-minded and open-minded. Maybe it depends on the subject? Clearly food for thought.

[@subashmadushan966]

But to be honest, most Japanese men are not that attracted to black women in general. Most Japanese men are only interested in other Japanese women.

[@brooklynnbaldwin9778]

Jennifer Nichole I'm so sorry that happen to you

[@daoyang6055]

Jennifer Nichole I feel you, we've all felt that pain before. Getting rejected by our crush. I met a South African exchange student in college and she was a fan of adele. Im a guitarist and I had a guitar test that day. I was hanging out in the club room and she was sitting there alone. She had beautiful dark skin and the smoothest straight hair. She asked me if I knew some Adele and I immediately played Someone like you. We connected instantly, and we dated. We were in love, but one day she cried and told me she had to go back home. It got really difficult for us to do long distance relationship. Mainly because her parents were not approving of her relationship with an Asian American. Inevitably we let go of each other. There was a really strong connection there. I feel someday we may even come back to each other. If not as lovers, maybe as friends. It was an emotional time for me.

Hey Yuta! I love your perspective!!! I'm a black woman living in Yokohama, Japan. And you are spot on!!! I don't mind at all dating outside of my ethnicity, but it does seem like Japanese men have no reference for black woman and are at a lost of how to approach me. Here's hoping that changes! For all men in general in Japan lol!

[@sandraredguard6385]

Hi Sonni: I would rather non-black males have no reference of us rather than relating all black women to the disgusting images of black women in American music videos. There is nothing harder than proving your not a sexual object. I have seen in some utube vids that some Asian countries watch the videos and are rude and uncaring of us as true "potential" life partners. We need to clean up our act where that is concerned. ;). Have a great day.

[@SonniUsaChan]

+Sandra Redguard The Black Woman that are portrayed in those videos are still Black Woman! So it's a reality that I don't consider a disgrace! Of course there are many other aspects to what it is to be a Black Woman, and yes those perspectives should be publicized as well! But I haven't encountered many Japanese men who are familiar with these kinds of videos or American Rap and Hip Hop Music in general. I haven't seen it broadcast on Japanese Television shows or any other form of advertisements either. So if by chance there are some Japanese men who have formed an idea that all Black Women are like the ones in those videos, I'm sure they we're introduced to it by a foreigner which is a completely different conversation!

[@ayannajean8855]

Hi sonni I find it really cool that you’re living in Japan as a black woman. I too wish to visit Japan! I was wondering if you could tell me about your experience in Japan and tell me how you learned Japanese plz?! （＾ω＾）

[@arcturianhybridgirl9424]

Yes, i have met a lot of Japanese men that would date black women or mixed black women, like myself. I am part Japanese/Italian/Black and i am engaged to a pure Japanese man, Koichi. He is so respectful and nice and very attentive. Also, i went to Japan with him last month, Tokyo then to Hokkaido and whenever we were out in public, he seemed to be very proud to have a foreign woman at his side even though i am still part Japanese. To many Japanese people, i look Japanese but there are some that look at me and say are you hafu? Lol And i say, yes and they were oh you are very pretty. Lol But Yes, i wish i grew up in Japan because i love Japanese men! My mom is American and my dad is Japanese. A lot of Japanese assume i am fluent in Japanese but i am not, i just know enough to get by and Koichi and i try to speak more Japanese together so that i will become fluent. But yes, many of Koichi's friends that are hafu or Japanese, like to date black women. 😊✌🏻️

when I was stationed at the Pentagon I dated a Japanese officer, he said that his great grandfather on his father's side was married to a black woman back in the 1920s, he said they met when he came here to the states looking for work, and he was hungry and no one would help him, and she saw him and invited him to her home and fed him and let him stay with her until he found work, a year later they were married and like my grandparents, they were targeted by racist, so they both moved back to Japan where he was from in some small village and was equally picked on there by some of the people, so then they finally moved to London. The guy and I were friends all the way until he was killed in a traffic accident several years ago. But, I am still friends with his sister, who now lives here in the states.

Interesting. You know I have heard many compliments about the beauty of black women. Cumpliments that can melt a heart away, but "loving black women" does not meant acceptance to change the skin colour of one's family, the texture of one's hair. Many just say that for the sake curiosity of being with black women; forgetting that you are not dealing with an exotic animal, you are dealing with a person who has feelings too and don't like to be seeing as an exotic object of desire of white men.

[@realvidzs]

If white people are shown more in Media, Japanese people would be more likely to name European country's when you ask them" what foreigners do you wish you could date.There are probably more white foreigners than black foreigners (im not completely sure of this.)so this also might make Japanese people more comfortable naming European or western countries. I'm sure if a Japanese person who is willing to date interracially, would date a black person. They would more than likely feel more comfortable darting ANY foreigner that knew how to speak the Japanese language. That communication barrier would be broken and the two can properly connect and learn about one another's culture.

I don't know why I'm still shocked that anyone in Asia knows about Jamaica. After all, we had a lot of Chinese immigrants, a few Japanese, and more recently there is now a Korean consulate! Out of many, one people.

[@tikabirdsong756]

you made a great point... i guess i need to visit Japan ( and probably learn Japanese)

[@MrNibandhe]

Tika Birdsong ,,dear I don't I now about Japanese and Chinese men,, but surely we Indian men love black girls very much... It's very joyful to sex and friendships , kissing, chatting..

[@anastaziaghamilton]

"And there is many cute black girls on this planet" lol indeed Yuta :). I am migrating soon to Japan...it will be interesting to see how that experience will be for me as a single woman.

[@Itsjust_Rikkiii]

I find asian men very attractive and I noticed many do actually date outside of their race. It’s mainly due to exposure. You’ll probably find a lot will be interested.

[@SalvationinCHRISTalone888]

8/1/2019: Thank you for making this video. I can truly appreciate everything you say. I think that is true of any country that are NOT exposed to any other races. As a black female, I can say that there are many BEAUTIFUL ppl of every race and if exposed to other people and cultures, there would be a lot more mixing & mingling.

[@lateshiachilds3640]

I lived Okinawa, Japan from 1991 to 1998, I was 8 to 16 years old. I'm 39 now and I definitely would love to take a trip back to see Japan again and hang out, but I never traveled overseas on my own. I definitely love Japanese and Korean culture I love Japanese more. I love Japanese music pop funk music, I love the movies and anime.

[@Tiffany11216]

Nice video! It's great that you took the time to touch on this subject. ^_^

[@jahatian16]

I liked this. Thanks! I studied abroad in Japan for a semester in 2013 and I never had issues talking to guys and making guy friends.

[@sandraredguard6385]

Hi Yuta: Thank you for sharing this video. I love interview tapes as well because it does show what actual random people think. I am a black woman, born in England, with American citizenship and Jamaican heritage. I'm sure that would confuse many. Lol. Your video has made me hopeful that if I come to Japan (love the deep history and culture) to teach that I may be able to meet someone. I am ok with someone taking me at face value until they get to know me, unlike here in America where they act like they like you, when all the while, they don't. Keep making great videos and apologies for the long response!

[@isaiahfrench2290]

Such a thorough and well-explained video. Thank you for breaking it down so clearly.

[@sashellestewart6958]

Hi. I am a jamaica and honestly i love both chinese,japan,and even jamaica guys. No joke. I find them cute,sexy and i would love to know more about them.

[@Fairy_Covers]

This one may be a hard one, but, I would love a video of "Do Japanese men date/like fat women?" I mean, I like Japanese men a lot, but I'm never sure if any of them would like me, because I am fat.(US size 24/26) I know every man is different, of coarse, but I would like to get your observations, since you are, indeed, a Japanese man.

[@hajarmdn4883]

Size 24 is fat? I seriously can't understand the way Americans perceive fat people. Where I live that's merely curvy.

[@Fairy_Covers]

Well, I tend to be more on the 26 side of that size, depending on the clothes, but still.... Thank you, though. :3

[@UshioKiss]

Rachel and Jun did a video about what is considered fat in Japan. If you haven't already seen it, it may put things in perspective. There are negative comments, but most of it is generally positive.

[@Fairy_Covers]

UshioKiss I've seen that video... None of the girls on the chart were really "fat". I'm not talking about that, though. I'm talking about romantic attraction. With the recent spark of body positivity in Japan(the magazine "La Farfa" and the various plus size shops, namely "SmileLand" in the Parco building, in Shibuya), I just wanted to know if more Japanese men are finding themselves attracted to plumper women.

[@UshioKiss]

Bianca R. Ah, true, true. I'm sure they do, though, but Yuta's thoughts may satisfy you more. :)

[@LiKeMEVEVO]

I love this vid!! Thanks Yuta!!

[@genetradean4992]

The thing is that, not just Japanese culture but all Asian culture enjoy a d love black people culture, traditions, mannerisms, dress, language and all other things black, just like all the other races in this world, just speak truth and respect and let's be real a d give the prompts to who deserves it, thank you.

[@TKnightcrawler]

Excellent English, man. :) Better than a lot of native speakers.

[@sunnygirly2k4]

My eyes are trained on his T-Shirt - *love* the design!

[@illumanatcha94edmundson54]

Please make more videos!!!!! I love to see ppl together and having . doesn't matter the safe of the person to me. Or were there for. People or people our skin tones should not matter anyway , as far as dateing love will find a way . we a k.a. people should learn to embrace each others differences and learn to appreciate each other. We can learn so much from one another😊 I agree with your point in your other vidoe as welp

[@L0ser1]

Thanks so much because I’m into Asians and my family knows that and my dad doesn’t think it’s a good idea saying that Asians don’t like black women and wouldn’t want them and said I would have no chance but thank you so much I needed to hear this cause I lost hope :)

[@adrthebull1]

I've been married to a Japanese man for 20yrs.

[@twebasenoi]

I'm so glad you mentioned Kenya :) But thank you for this information.

[@BokuNoShousetsu]

interesting video, very well done, your opinions and observations seem well thought out.

[@carolinablue20]

Thanks for posting this video. It was very interesting and a question I've also heard frequently. I've even wondered about it myself.

[@tallestGirafffe]

These kind of videos are also good, but it depends heavily on the topic you choose.

[@margarethines5789]

Thank you for saying not all black girls are the same... We are from different countries all over the world.

[@SraTacoMal]

I recently read an entry from a blog I sort of maintained while in Japan for a year, and I forgot the sheer number of times guys bought me drinks at bars, and that I was even asked on a couple of dates (one was with a Korean guy, though.) My sense of style back then sucked, so if I went now I could probably get a boyfriend.

[@candi8105]

Very well said Yuta! :)

[@lilypippili]

this was a really interesting video and I really appreciated your opinions, which were very well formulated and thought out, but next time could you make a whole videos on asking japanese men what they think? and maybe show them references pictures of black girls from different countries?

[@johnsonaak7192]

So there’s a Asian man that always come to my shop and he always bring me fruit , fruit juices and flowers I’m so confused bc he don’t speak English but every week he’s coming by to bring me some juice or a fruit bowl crazy thing is I find myself looking for him like today I woke wondering is he gonna come see me this week lol 😂

[@shandagreen3979]

Just my opinion, but you should go for it. Japanese like any language can be learned. Good luck😊

[@Mii_AD]

Cute 🙈

[@HoneySoifon]

That was very interesting. Thank you for being so analytical.

[@0bsidianO]

Try a Japan trivia video where you ask people about Japan's history!

[@krissydiggs]

I used to worry about this... until I went to Japan and got hit on by more than one guy! 😁 I do feel like there’s the stereotype to overcome, but that’s kind of the same even in America. Haha. Hopefully when I move there, I can find a nice, loving guy! ☺️

[@gladharris1607]

You seem to be cool people though loving caring loving folks toward others though that's awesome thanks for being concern clear about learning more about friendships with people. Cool video thanks.

[@Reinout100]

Nice video Yuta. Lata potata, haha. Always funny how you end your videos. Keep them coming :)

[@MsJordanElaine]

I loved this video, your discussions are very well thought out and insightful. I'm happy I subscribed to you!

[@dot5483]

Hot girls can get dates anywhere.

[@anikadiamond007]

Not necessarily.

[@tashiestastyislandcuisinet8296]

At this point I could care less if Japanese or whatever Asian country men likes me or not. If you do like black women, we're on the same page because I like you too, if you don't OK no problem, moving right along. At the end of the day people can tell you anything you want to hear, so even if they hate you they will lie lol. I prefer people who are authentic, transparent and has a mind of their own.

[@searching4quiet]

This video was so honest and informative. My nice lives in Japan and now has a Japanese husband that our family adores. Thanks for sharing!

[@tetroretrislvl4]

Thank you for your explaination and breakdown. It was well planned out and thoughtful! You presented a point that I previously was not aware of, and will help me in my travels to Japan. Thank you!!!

[@robertocuevas8584]

You have a lot of intelligences and experience on this subject. Thank you

[@TheScorpionHerself]

I’m a 20 y/o black women, and I’ve always wanted to move to Japan ever since I was 13. I grew up watching anime with my brothers, I think Japanese (Asian people in general) are very beautiful and unique in their own way, with a beautiful culture, traditions, and history. I don’t have any kids, and I always thought about starting a family when I move to Japan. I just wasn’t sure if Japanese men liked black women at all. I know some probably does and some don’t. Some don’t care at all about skin color. I hope I find a good Japanese man one day lol

[@MIKA1032651]

Aww thanks for explaining that I appreciate it.

[@BAn-im9pm]

Wow! Wish I had known this when I lived in Japan! Thank you for the succinct and very interesting explanation.

[@OtakuTechie]

Love your channel. Am kenyan

[@OtakuTechie]

Would love to meet a Japanese guy and be friends. Share our cultures and so

[@soferson]

As a black woman visiting Japan in July (for the second time technically but first the first time properly), I found this video very informative and really interesting. I really learned a lot! guess! I can expect many stares when I'm in Osaka then!

[@SuperLightheart]

An intelligent answer...finally! Thank you :-)

[@Kakarott2023]

That was a very good and informative video! I was always wondering if Japanese men are interested in women of colour because they seemed to be racist or something. But know i understand alot more. THANK YOU!

[@curvytangerine]

No native black celebs as references in Japan? Uh, what about Crystal Kay... Kuri's been around for a very long time. I realize she may be practically the only one, but I was surprised you didn't mention her.

[@SuperTruthful]

I love this. Great points and well thought out.

[@TheDrakon]

I have a question. If Japanese men are making comments about black women but they don't know what they're talking about, then why don't they just say "I don't know" instead of making an ignorant comment?

[@RedHairdo]

+TheDrakon Maybe because they are ignorant themselves?

[@TheDrakon]

+RedHairdo I get the sense that their culture often is too judgemental based on appearance.

[@factsondeck1552]

What makes him think he knows what he’s talking about and everyone else who gave their opinion is wrong about what they do and don’t like ?
