Mr. Yabatan is so funny n cooool!!! かっこいい❤ I love him!!! Thank you for being in Japan and always making us happy.

[@Tanya_Vazh]

So happy to hear Yabatan made his dream come true! Life in Japan can be stressful but only hearing his genki voice chears me up a lot every time!

Fascinating interview. Thoughtful questions and loved hearing Mr. Yabatan's backstory. Such a unique story. I can't think of many other expats in Japan who have a success story like his. And such a unique perspective from him as a Western insider in the Japanese comedy scene.

Wow, I never knew it but I guess I was a Mr. Yabatan OG fan. I am an Australian and around 2016/17, I was studying Japanese in university and our class discovered the Yabatan illumination video on facebook. We shared it with the Japanese exchange students and they thought it was hilarious. It was a great bonding experience and you used easy to understand Japanese too so we could all understand it. Glad to see Yabatan is still going strong to this day.

Thank you for interviewing Mr Yabatan!! Get to see and get insights about the real him (weird to call the real him), its really good to see how "Mr Yabatan" has progressed and grow into someone we love. Now I just love him more!! Keep it up with the good work ✌

[@SamS-pw3jn]

I really appreciate the interviewers thoughtfulness. These were really great questions that made the interview as interesting as it was. Good stuff

[@h.a4510]

I was ホントにびっくりした at how much research he does on his short clip contents, which I would have never guessed from his down-to-earth personality.

Found this channel through Intagram and now I'm working backwards to watch everything. Thanks, hontoni bikkuri shitaaaa to find this channel and all the guests!! :O

[@HanokoCr]

Tbh i come bcs i curious to see Yabatan speaking english. He rarely speak in english at his own platform. But it turn out the interview itself is very interesting so i stay till the end ❤️ also Yabatan looks so cool here, i didn’t expect it lol.

[@suttonlazy5250]

I didn’t know he was so handsome, and it’s interesting how voice pitch can affect a person's attractiveness. I also love Yabatan side of him though.

[@unpackingjapan]

We said Japan's favorite foreigner, not Trash Taste's 😤 -editor

[@NewExperienceExplorer]

I'm very disappointed all that time spent in japan and you can't spell Gaki no Tsukai properly!. Heathen

[@Handles_are_garbage]

Wow... what a tool. He speaks about western comedy being cheap because it's about sex (spoiler: it isn't) and then pretends Japanese comedy isn't when a lot of mainstream Japanese comedy can be very much like that. Undeniably he has a skill for telling his audience what they want to hear.

[@sakan7150]

Japanese comedy sometimes includes sexual topics, but they rarely become the main focus. Instead, the humor often centers around stories of failure or shocking situations. Sexual jokes tend to be treated as more of a taboo, often conveyed indirectly rather than through straightforward expression.

[@Handles_are_garbage]

@sakan7150 and western comedy has this focus?
