James May Discovers A Trainspotting Beat-boxer & Self-Cleaning Toilets | James May: Our Man In Japan

[@YuraEnjoji]

You know your chuffing noise is legit when James May of all people approves it...

[@MilkDrinker218]

*realistic chuffing sound

[@mycroftsanchez901]

He must be well chuffed!

[@chanchito4401]

The two train fans were quite loveable.

[@tracypaxton1054]

I thought so, too. i love the faces the guitarist in Takahira's band was making, too.

[@tracypaxton1054]

Oh, I just noticed that he's not playing a guitar in this video. He has a little electronic thing with buttons and what not.

[@tygobermind3640]

VERY EXCITING

[@osuscyan3143]

Actually happy for those train guys, able to be themselves and enjoy what they love and at least someone to appreciate it

[@mescko]

4:47 I love the connection when they share a laugh, the cultural differences completely vanish. 😄

[@migatron1]

"The train is now leaving" Those lyrics made me sit and rethink the meaning of life!

[@j-swag7438]

it's a brilliant metaphor for all the missed opportunities

4:40 when my grandma asks if I have a gf yet

James looks so out of place in Tokyo, it’s like a anime protagonist in a crowd of random civilians

[@mileslaw]

"Still better than Coldplay" Damnnnn

[@bloodykilla8521]

Do you know why he doesn't like Coldplay?

[@ethanchan8573]

no but why

[@marty_debiru]

Living in Tokyo has teached me a lot in many ways. Train geeks are a daily basis, and you can see them everyday taking pictures of the train you just leave at the station. But you know the difference here than other countries? Nobody is going to point at them at laught. Nobody is going to see them as some weirdos. Everybody respects them as they may respect your own hobbies. That's why Japan allows for lots of different of passions, cultures and hobbies surroundings weird and nitche stuff. That's why I love this country so much.

[@yannikoloff7659]

I never seen anyone to point at geek and laugh

[@dankirk4186]

Nerds

[@MrStark-up6fi]

Laugh, no. Think weird things? Yes. Never had I seen people getting laughed at

[@keddysugiarto]

Isn't that fantastic? James: "No"

[@LEMMYLEMON]

4:47 definitely funniest moment

[@haviksingh1503]

0:41 "yes."

[@maxvandersommen6526]

5:47 "yes."

[@TheRCScotsman]

@Max Van der Sommen - That transpotter's "yes" is second only to a Clarkson "yes"!

[@nomadben]

This is the most wonderful show, I love when James May does these types of things. It relaxes me and makes me happy before I go to sleep. Thank you so much chaps!

[@JulianK67]

"you can, but you don't have to" 😂😂😂😂

2:23 when your mom has already warned you 2 times that she doesn't want you swearing and you don't want to get slapped but have to pester your sibling just one last time.

I'm going to have to watch this again. It was brilliant the first time around, but I've forgotten so much. I hope James does another series like this. 👍

The strength of the washer on MAXIMUM 😂😂

[@blafoon93]

We all agree that his tour guide probably uses his bidet to wash his face, right? He tried to sell James way too hard on the idea that he could 'theoretically' do that.

[@NJTDover]

Japan is probably the coolest nation in the world and with China zillions of years behind. I envy Mr May adventures in Japan from a positive perspective. As a tour guide myself in my country, Japanese tourists are the best in the world. Have fun James!

[@fredenord2411]

Not Even close

0:37 that's what the hospitals need

[@williamcroft7420]

Never seen this show before, but I love the clips so far.

[@FirstLastOne]

Can't believe James May missed the correct meaning of 'otaku'. It literally means a homebody as in one who spends the majority of their time at home which then was stretched out to mean nerdy homebody who geeks out at home.

[@RhysClark97]

like all words in most languages, their meanings can change at any time. In japan, Otaku used to be derogatory term for people who spent alot of time at home doing unsocial things but now its embraced alot more as people who are hyper enthusiastic about niche or specific things, nerdy about them

[@shadowxxe]

@@RhysClark97 It similar to how nerd used to be derogatory but isn't so much anymore

I’ve just finished it and I loved the tour guide throughout 😂😂

[@whyamiwastingmytimeonthis]

can't wait for this whole quarantine thing to end so I can finally visit Japan

[@TheRCScotsman]

I'd love to visit Japan, it's just so fascinating! That train cafe looks fantastic, although I'd probably confuse the patrons, by visiting with my girlfriend! Then, my goal would be to wind her up, by constantly dropping bad train-themed puns, like asking for _steamed_ milk, saying how I was _chuffed_ and that I _railly_ like it.

[@klebbe1]

The face at 2:32 :D

[@Johnthecardboardsmileyface]

Every weeb ever is quaking at how he pronounces Akihabara.

[@chair5728]

In Japan, we’ve always just called it Akiba, so I wonder why James didn’t use that.

[@blindwhy]

Alan Now, just hear me out here. Maybe, just maybe, James didn’t say akiba because, and I’m just spitballing, he isn’t from Japan??

[@chair5728]

derp. I’ve seen plenty of people who refer it to Akiba from all stretches of the world. What I was really referring to is why his guide didn’t tell him that. And mind you I’m just having conversation, no need for sarcasm.

[@Marco911]

Even the trainspotters in Japan are interesting. Wow.

[@frasergibson5763]

The mustard bottle on the table said yellow mustard. As opposed to the blue and green mustard you can get 😂
