Japanese Garden Candy Kit 🔨 DIY vlog

[@erickgoins9199]

As an English speaker, I am totally fine with reading subtitles and/or broadening my vocabulary if you guys want to do Japanese-only videos more often! It's very nice to listen to even if I don't understand it

[@Chococat_Ariana]

Exactly my thoughts!!

[@LazionLove]

Agreeeeddd

[@rachelrecycles369]

Yup, doesn't bother me Japanese is a a lovely language to listen to.

[@ainekellan6295]

Yeah, I don't mind either. I like reading English subtitles while hearing Japanese, it helps with learning not just more Japanese words, but the flow of the language as well

[@Yahriel]

It helps to learn some of the short, conversational phrases and reactions, too!

[@spacecate]

i thought Rachel was having a wild hair day the first few seconds of the vid until it started moving and realized that was Haku behind, he blended so well, but also i wasn't wearing my glasses lmao

[@tyt0nidae]

HAHAHAHAHA

[@kathydaugherty5203]

That's what I saw too despite wearing glasses

[@huntakilla1234]

[@TacticalKiwi4862]

Im so glad im not the only one!

[@cravenlunatic1]

As an English speaking viewer, as long as there are subtitles in English, you can speak entirely in Japanese so your Japanese audience can understand 👍👍👍

[@literaryworm6563]

waitingfor2020 I totally agree!

[@choerryluv_]

I agree!

[@MrsBrit1]

I enjoy hearing him speak Japanese, and Rachel, for that matter.

Same, it's not a problem for me. As long as there are subtitles I'm happy.

Rachel: crying she's lost touch with the youth while using sweet instead of lit Jun: I.. I would say sweet..

[@Ihkhljfkdigdhfsjfxxgkcljvpjb]

Idk about u but that was pretty sweet

[@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley]

The way he said that was just too cute! Like he was saddened that he too would be considered old because they're about the same age, lol! It's okay, I think I'm the same age as Rachel and I still say "sweet" as well. It's an ageless word...unlike "lit".

[@daxterquiny]

[@kissarococo2459]

sweet comeback is ripe!

[@catpoke9557]

I dunno about you but I, as a youth, feel ashamed when I say lit haha. Lit seems to mostly be used ironically, or by people who want to sound "gangster." Not always, but mostly.

[@onobonono]

3:25 - Haku: "Do not pester me, you peasant" 9:05 - Poki: "I guess this is my life now"

i can reassure you, rachel, that the youth still says 'sweet' as a slang personally i go with 'neat'

[@madeofcastiron]

on the other hand, i don't really see people say lit irl. to my friends and i at least, it sounds super cringey if one of us says lit unironically

[@Iiterally]

The youth here say litty, litmus, sEnSaTiOnAl, satisfaction guaranteed, v niiiiiiiiiiiiiiice, and (chefs kiss)

[@sabcode-dd]

Honestly, it depends on the person. I just stick to cool and nice because I'm boring like that.

[@catherinegomez2055]

For me, it ranges from toight/noice to Extravegant, Brilliant, and Absolutely stupendous! From regular teen to British man from the 1800's

[@urlocaldevilbaby4797]

yeah, same. I think language like that generally sticks around for quite awhile, or quickly returns. I daily use (and hear ppl my age saying) rad, sweet and sick but I know a lot of older people seemed oddly shocked by that ? and usually go off saying "lit" (which I've never rlly heard unironically ?) for 30 minutes to taunt me for "stealing their lingo" afterwards lmfao

[@coralrozephotography7011]

I always find it so fascinating how the demeanor of a person changes depending on the language being used. When Rachel speaks in English, she’s very energetic and bubbly. However, when she speaks in Japanese, I noticed that her voice lowers and softens. Thanks for sharing such a fun activity!

[@spider4628]

Coral Holmes shes having to think about it more. i was like that in french

[@KaraShadows95]

There is a theory that the language you speak might have an influence on how you think, form ideas and carry yourself. It depends on the language structure I think.

[@Kairos_Akuma]

A while back she said somewhere that she is very loud in Japanese Standards. So maybe she learned the more quieter tone when she speaks Japanese since when she speaks to Japanese people she will tone it down and now it comes naturally with the language 🤔

[@mlizeng]

Whenever I speak Mandarin my friends tell me my voice gets higher pitched. Maybe it has something to do with how you use the muscles in your mouth and throat for each language. :)

[@Osprey1994]

Well since Japanese is pitch based instead of stress based like English...

[@memeproducer]

Love the character development of Poki, he’s such a calm boi now aw

[@taebae7039]

Jun filming and not doing the craft at all: This is kinda fun 😄

[@melirnian]

I love hearing Rachel and Jun speak Japanese. It's interesting to hear since we don't really hear a lot of it on this channel. It may also help with those trying to learn the language :)

[@lose_ur_lang]

[@mars5277]

Yes! It helps a lot! Hearing real people speak about real life things is super helpful for me!

[@オドウィン]

I looove the new bilingual approach to your vlogs Jun! It's especially handy for me who's trying to learn Japanese. Please keep it this way!

[@Osprey1994]

You do know they have to make the subtitles right? The reason they don't do subtitles is because it's a lot of work to get everything synced up.

[@janesmith699]

@@Osprey1994 it's up to them. Since they make subs often anyhoo for english vids they might as well speak Japanese. What's the difference? The subs are in English.

I like Nami too. 俺も「波」が好きです。 PS: I don't know if "sweet" is still relevant youth slang (or "lit" for that matter), but since you were making candy, it seems appropriate :)

[@onikisusalt3665]

Yeah, I definatley still say sweet, and I dont think I've ever said lit unironically

[@quinnguyen3888]

I say sweet quite a bit, too- but I’m not sure if that really says much because I mean I also say yoohoo lol

[@faeryb0mb]

When I was in 2nd grade the whole second grade did a thing called "Japan Day" at school. each class had a different solid color tye dye pattern shirt (my class got black) and we learned about japanese culture among other things. I think the teacher s wore kimonos but all i can remember was the arizona tea, rice krispy treat "sushi", and the cherry blossom tissue paper crafts we glued onto some paper... Idk if we learned much that day considering all us kids were like 7 years old. I do remember the Zen garden activity where we had mini gardens with actual sand and rocks.

[@iamlight1]

I love it so much that you guys can still play. I need to play more. I love doing things like these!

I just love how they try working around the cats XDD 5:10 yes Rachel people still say sweet 6:45 yeah Jun you can actually find those sweets in a lot of different places, mostly you would find them in stores that are pro-baking and decorating and stuff, it's basically chocolate that is shaped like a rock 6:48 " I like it this is kind of fun" have Jun done anything other than put stuff in the microwave and take it out??? XD 8:00 can we just appreciate the interaction between those two? I mean I'm just sitting enjoying hearing them talk to each other it's so adorable! and im like I kind of want to have that kind of relationship in the future 9:00 poki is like "what is going on... ha mama's hand, i lick" Also I am not Japanese but I know Japanese to an extent and I also would not mind hearing Jun speak more Japanese, I just find his voice very calming and very nice to listen to both in English and in Japanese and he have so much expression when he speaks in Japanese XD I find it very amusing and I liked it! and I like hearing Rachel speak Japanese too! just like, do a mix of the two languages cuz it's fun!
