Japanese React to "What my trip to Japan was like" by Jaiden Animations | Samurai Dad

[@Delaney-and-the-Starlight]

YOU TWO ARE THE FIRST TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE SURPRISED EGG ACTUALLY WAS!!! THANK YOU SO SO MUCH! It was driving me crazy! 🤣💕

[@RyJones]

I have watched so many of these reaction videos trying to find out what that was!

[@sammypierce6079]

Ikr,!

[@DLEScorphame]

I've been watching so many reaction videos just to know what Surprise egg was... so I feel you

[@JShepLord]

To understand the Pokemon song joke, you kinda have to understand Western humor. A lot of western humor is self deprecating. We love nothing more than to make fun of ourselves. In the video, Jaiden played the Pokemon theme loudly and off key because she is mocking the fact that some of us think having knowledge of other cultures through mediums such as anime and video games is cool. The image is supposed to give the idea of an obnoxious foreigner thinking they're awesome while the music is portraying someone who is obnoxious. Truthfully, most people's knowledge of other cultures comes from TV and video games. So it's more common than people realize.

[@samuraidad3601]

Thank you very much for explaining it to me. I can understand what you were saying a little bit because there are many self-deprecating jokes online in Japan. I'll try to understand western culture more. In my first time in the US, I was surprised to find that many men make sarcastic jokes with a serious face, but basically, there seems to be laughter when they don't express themselves straightforwardly.

[@JShepLord]

@@samuraidad3601 One of our most legendary comedians, Steven Wright, is big because he tells jokes without ever raising his voice or cracking a smile. He's deadpan and monotone, and we in the west like that. For some reason, we enjoy tricking people, making them think we actually believe what we're saying before revealing it's a joke. I don't understand it myself. I would recommend Steven Wright if you ever get the chance to watch him on KZbin.

[@rons3634]

Great reaction. This is the first reaction I've seen that explains he Surprised Egg. That was interesting.

[@samuraidad3601]

Thank you so much! I found it on the Google, the Surprised Egg bread used to be served at Saint Marc Cafe. Surprise eggs are not chocolate toys in Japan😊

[@h.4315]

This reaction is a lot better and transformative than most other "Japanese Reacts" channel as you explain and discuss the nuances of each of Jaiden's experiences. I think this was the only "Japanese Reacts" that actually deduced and explained how "Surprised egg" was びっくりタマゴ and was not exactly a mistranslation, but rather a dish with a "made up name" that was directly translated. Since you mentioned that you were a hibachi chef performer (I presume the hibachi here actually refers to the American word for teppanyaki 鉄板), if you also have experience as a teppanyaki chef in Japan, you could dive into the cultural difference between teppanyaki service in America and teppanyaki service in Japan. It seems to me that the performance art is particularly an American creation, especially by Benihana, as I do not see this type of performance in teppanyaki restaurants in other countries other than the United States.

[@samuraidad3601]

I'm glad you appreciated this video. I used be a teppanyaki chef, performing cooking in front of customers. Most of that time was spent in the Epcot Japan Pavilion, but I also worked at Benihana. In Japan, I also worked at the Teppanyaki restaurant at the Grand Hyatt. There are so many cultural differences in teppanyaki service! I'm going to make a video about it. Thanks for the great suggestion!

[@samuraidad3601]

Don't worry guys! Foreigners are just as afraid of making mistakes when speaking japanese. When I had classes I would get so nervous speaking and my teacher wasn't even japanese. I get afraid of sounding too formal, too informal, or like a weeb, or when I don't know how to say things. I quit for a long time bcs life got in the way. Im slowly getting back into it and realizing how learning through classes often makes you sound like every person you talk to is the president or the prime minister. Too formal and they don't really explain the part of omitting things and subtext, etc. Ig you gain that with experience and after a lot of embarrassment.

Oh, you've explained the 'surprised egg' thing! Your reaction video compared to many others contains many insights and useful comments! And one more thing - can't speak for everyone, but for me hearing everyday japanese instead of textbook one is good practice (making subtitles is a pain though). ありがとうございました！

[@samuraidad3601]

The reason for the mistranslation of "Surprised Egg" was found out by my wife. I'm glad you said that. I try to use lots of subtitles and images so that people can get interested in Japanese culture and language while having fun. When I first started the channel, I wanted to speak more in English, but someone told me in a comment that "natural conversation between you two is good for learning Japanese. Since then, I've continued to use this style of reaction.

[@silvermane5695]

My best advice for those who are traveling to Japan is 1. Learn common phrases that Japanese use e.g. Sumimasen (means "Excuse me or I'm sorry" you use it all the time) 2. Download Line (Japanese Message App that Japanese use) and/or any messenger app of your choice, there is free Wi-Fi at the Airports and Tokyo 3. Learn basic Japanese etiquette and watch what everybody is doing 4. Finally, if you speak Spanish or Portuguese (or both) you will have a higher chance of finding help because there is a large community of South Americans of Japanese ancestry who are either bilingual or trilingual (Spanish/Portuguese, Japanese and English) and they can help you. Good luck and have fun.

[@samuraidad3601]

That's great advice! Japanese people don't speak English as intentionally as foreigners think they do. Many Japanese are perfectionists and are extremely shy about making mistakes in English. It's better to ask Japanese questions that only require a "yes/no" answer. Also, as you said, it is a great way to learn a few Japanese phrases before you come to Japan. These advices are really great and I would like to make a video about it someday. Thank you very much.

[@samuraidad3601]

As you say, we usually speak Japanese, so it may be more natural to react in Japanese. I'd like to continue in this style for a while. Thank you very much.

[@Ryuki136]

Just something to explain the tapping game. It's a music-based game similar to Dance Dance, but you use your hands. The reason for the gloves is because you sometimes have to drag your hands through the various buttons on the console, including the screen itself. So the gloves decrease traction, making it smoother and easier to follow the harder and more intense songs. It's pretty common among gamers of the same game type.

[@gwillis01]

I felt sorry for jaiden when she "upset the sushi harmony" by putting her empty bowl on the conveyer belt the wrong way.

[@samuraidad3601]

I felt sorry for her too. Jaiden said they put the wasabi back in, but I didn't know of any restaurant where the wasabi bowl was on a conveyor belt. Basically, for hygiene reasons, customers are not supposed to put anything on the conveyor.

[@thisisrenren3657]

Every reaction I see Japanese people say "no one would be that rude!"

[@samuraidad3601]

That may be true. But it is also the pride and self-deprecating part of the Japanese people. To be precise, it's not that there are no rude Japanese people, but that there are no people who dare to say rude things to one's face, no one has the courage to say it. Japanese people are less assertive than Americans, so they have a tendency to say bad things when others are not looking.

[@WatashiMachineFullCycle]

It is strangely reassuring to me that Japanese people are just as shy as I am about talking to strangers, or worried about making mistakes speaking their language. I also feel this way, I comprehend very basic Japanese but I would be terrified to try speaking any Japanese in front of a native speaker, ESPECIALLY a stranger.

[@saldiven2009]

Shinjuku station really is super confusing. It's not just the gates. It's also that it's a station for both the subways and the commuter rail. The place has like five floors below street level. If I remember correctly, there are two full city blocks between the New South Gate and where the East and West gates come out. I remember getting confused in the place and leaving by the West Gate when I needed to go out the New South Gate. I decided to just figure it out on the surface streets because that seemed easier than going back into the station. The first time I went to Japan, I went to Osaka to see Scandal's 10th Anniversary Festival in 2016. To get there, we had to change from a JR commuter rail to a local private rail company to get to the location. It took us almost an hour to figure out how to change to the right train. We didn't realize that the JR trains and the local trains used different platforms. So, we kept getting on the wrong train thinking it was going in the right direction. Then, we'd have to get off at the next station and come back. It wasn't until I zoomed in really close in Google Maps that I could see that there were different platforms.

[@samuraidad3601]

Thank you for your comment! Even for Japanese people, Shinjuku station is very difficult to understand. I think the difficulty for foreign travelers is very great. It's a good idea to solve the problem once on the ground and then on the surface street. As a Japanese, I would like to see some improvements in the JR and local railroads, where the stations are located a bit far apart and the payment card system is not the same.

That point about wifi and singing up/in with a carrier holds in Korea as well. I went on an 8day trip there with friends and even though we had a blast, damn did we lose a lot of time trying to find wifi for navigation purposes. We tried to get all info before leaving the hotel but it's just not enough when you have a packed day. Next time, first order of business, get an egg with a wifi sim at the airport even if it's slightly pricey. Better to lose a bit of money than time at the foreign country you have paid way more for.

[@samuraidad3601]

I agree with you. I've been doing the same thing when I stay in Japan. In recent years, I've been using T-mobile's unlimited international roaming plan instead of a SIM. There are not many places in Japan where you can use free wifi, but 4G LTE from Japanese carriers will connect you anywhere with strong signal. As you say, it would be wiser to spend the money to move around more efficiently with a limited time itinerary.

[@npatch]

@@samuraidad3601If you have roaming yeah, or if your carrier has as good a plan as Tmobile's :P. If you don't chances are your mobile won't be compatible with an asian SIM, so the egg is the only way. Also the egg is shared so everyone can use it. At any rate, the bottomline is internet access first, then leave the airport.

[@Jason-er1vf]

I'm no expert, but I think the main issue with Japanese to English translator programs is that it translates it literally instead of taking the meaning into account

[@DanKojak]

I find it strange they couldn't get wi-fi in the airport, every airport I've been to in Japan offers free wi-fi connection throughout the building. Before security, after security, etc. But when I go to Japan, I just use the airport wi-fi after I arrive up until I pick up the rental pocket wi-fi from the counter. That comes with a nationwide connection to the Japanese cell phone network (it was Softbank last time I went, not sure if it was every time) so I can stay online for the full vacation, until wrapping it up when I'm leaving and dropping it off at a mailbox in the airport, at which point I reconnect to the airport's free wi-fi again. You could also rent a SIM card to plug into a phone, but those seem to come with limited data per day and the pocket routers say unlimited data.

[@Drescher1984]

Also one thing, don't be afraid to speak English. If we giggle it's most of the time not to be mean. It's bit like if I tried to speak Japanese, and said a word slightly wrong, so that it meant something completely wrong. It would be okay to giggle and then tell me how I said it wrongly.

[@samuraidad3601]

You are right. However, many Japanese people are terrified of grammatical errors. I was the same way. Until I lived in Florida and saw Mexicans and other non-English speakers using grammatically incorrect English to easily communicate with people.

[@josemanuelperez2853]

Can´t be sure of the airport, i suppose is Narita but... Narita have free wifi but now i´m not sure if the wifi is available in the public side of the airport (before the boarding gates). Also you can rent a card for data in the same airport. Btw, Shinjuku station have acording to official data "a little more than 200 exit gates". The first time i went to Japan, about 20 years ago got me about 5 hours to go from Narita Airport to the hotel in Hifashi-Koganei. Of course after more travels now i can go easily, and have apps like Tabimori or Hyperdia. That´s not the most confusing things in Tokyo transportation. The most confusing are places where you have two station with the same name that appears in maps and apps like "the same station" even when they are not in the same builiding. As an example Ochanomizu or Ryogoku. Also the fact that some trains can change the name of the line after some station. Like the Seibu line (only some of the trains) who are the Yurakucho from Ikebukuro, or when you transfer between lines but there´s no barriers if both are from the same company. But yes... Shinjuku Station is hell. I can manage in stations like Ikebukuro and even Tokyo Station but... Shinjuku?... good luck Oh, and this thing about "speak slowly" is not english issue only I remember once when i go to Tokyo with a friend who can´t understand nothing in japanese, and went to eat in some ramdom restaurant. The women who takes the meal spoke very slowly and says "abunai... atsui desu". My friend burns his tonge and i say "don´t you hear the women warning you" 😂 (yes, my bad)

[@samuraidad3601]

Shinjuku Station has 200 exits! It probably started out as a single station on a single train line. A lot of commercial complexes were built to connect the two stations, swallowing them up. The subway was also built under the original Shinjuku Station. People began to call the huge complex "Shinjuku Station", and each of the railroads built a number of exits to provide direct access to the department stores. In the end, there were many exits over many floors. The story of how it took me five hours to get from Shinjuku to Higashi Koganei is a sad one. Originally, the trip would have taken only 20 minutes. Thanks to the app, transit has become more convenient. I also used the app during my stay in Japan. The problem of showing different stations as if they are the same station confuses even Japanese people. Also, there are cases that two stations are located within walking distance have different names. For example, JR's Higashi-Kanagawa station and Keikyu's Nakakido station have had this problem for a long time, but before the Olympics, the station was renamed from Nakakido to Keikyu Higashi-Kanagawa. When I went back to Japan two years ago, free WiFi was available at Narita Airport. I did not know that you could rent a card for data communication.

Why do Japanese have a fear of speaking English? I could see why if you talk to someone extremely fluent. But English is one it is ok to make mistakes the only ones that speak proper or even extremely polite English is the extremely rich or British. everyone else trying to not be a ambassador. Does not need to worry about speaking proper English. Alot Americans can not speak Japanese with out mistakes. there is not normally a Japanese or kanji class in school it is always Spanish maybe some french or oddly german. Most of the time we only know Japanese form not English anime with or with out English Subtitles or with have to Google translate. I had to do that 100 times trying to play C.O.D. zombies. As I pray to God. "Please let there be English speaking with a mic." I know it was rude but God likes it more if you talk to him like a friend then a all knowing father. I would even love partial bilingual. Thank you for the reaction. Very well done. Domo arigato. See I can not even tell if I spelled that right.

[@samuraidad3601]

Domo Arigato! It's perfect. You're right. Japanese people, at least my generation, learned very little speaking in school English classes. I think it's because we only had teachers with Japanese accents. The teachers were not very good at speaking either. This video is exaggerated, but it was roughly like this. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqnEZJeirZ6MjLc That's why we have a six-year curriculum at school, and it's mostly grammar. A student's grade is determined by whether it is grammatically correct. So, when Japanese people speak English, they are afraid of making mistakes. In the younger generation, they aren't afraid so. As you say, many of them learn to speak by playing games. Thanks for your comment.

Honestly the way she said MEGADONKI caught me offguard first time around I saw the video. And yes, going to Japan is on my bucket list, followed shortly by getting cool vintage Nintendo stuff. Gameboys and whatnot.

Would you mind taking requests to doing reactions you might like this guy’s channel he used to teach English in Japan as part of the jet program Gaijin Goombah covers culture in gaming, his other topics are Which Ninja which he takes one ninja at a time and discuss if they are historically accurate. Yokai Hunters he’ll go over a particular Yokai of the day from games or anime. He also has a another channel which is called Gaijin perspective where he goes into more detail on what it was like living and teaching in Japan

[@samuraidad3601]

I'm glad you requested it, I'll check out Gaijin Goombah and Gaijin perspective and do a reaction video for you!

My dream is to visit Japan but I want to learn to speak Japanese first, progress is slow:(

[@samuraidad3601]

I will support your dreams. I would also like to make a video about learning Japanese. I moved to the United States without being able to speak English. My progress in learning foreign languages is slower than yours. I use a translator to make my videos. My goal is to communicate about Japan fluently in English.

[@loganshaw9198]

@@samuraidad3601 you are doing very well just try not to get a odd accent. The south, west, east, and north also have variety in accent I think it is more pronounced in the City versus country. But I did not detect anything. So well done. Now excuse me while I try to figure out who would win between the mythological nine tails and a high tech robot form the future. I am going to bet it is the nine tails because any robot would be out classed.

[@upsidedownmachiatto2670]

I think you speaking English in your videos will help you be more comfortable with it. Don't worry about making mistakes. You can already make conversation based from what I've heard. Anyway, great video! Earned yourself a subscriber.

[@samuraidad3601]

I have lived in Florida for 10 years and my English listening skills have improved a bit, but my speaking skills are still not good. I use a translator, read it, and edit it. I have 8 videos now and my speech got a little faster. I will continue to work on this. Thanks for your comments!

They are afraid of getting it (english) wrong? They really shouldn't people they speak to won't think less of them. They will mostly just be grateful for the help.

[@samuraidad3601]

You are right. However, for a long time, English education in Japan has only taught whether it is grammatically correct or not, and not practical communication. I've heard that this has improved in the last few years, though. Therefore, many Japanese are afraid of making mistakes in English. I am one of them. That's why it took me a lot of courage to start this channel. Your comment gives courage to many Japanese people. Thank you.

[@koriharpoon3357]

I live in Florida and I got to ask: Doesn't it even matter which way you go from there to get to Japan? Wouldn't it be about the same?

[@loganshaw9198]

It is far closer going west then east.

[@samuraidad3601]

Hello neighbor! Thanks for your comment! From CA, where Jaiden lives, it takes 11 hours with no connections. But there are no direct flights from Florida to Japan, so it take more.

[@loganshaw9198]

@@samuraidad3601 ya there is no blast off with a rocket🚀 then reearth entry once you see Japan then take the inflatable speed boat once you water land in the Japanese sea. I think that would be alot faster. Or take a space plane then descend as soon as you see Japan. Then land at the Tokyo airport.

Yeah, the rude japanese girl is a joke and doesn't exist. That's just there for comedic effect to say, of course it doesn't work. Or even a projection of what an american might be like if the roles were reversed, but that kind of rudeness to a foreigner isn't common here either. And as other people have mentioned, that's a parody version of the American pokemon theme song being used for ironic, comedic effect.

[@samuraidad3601]

Wow, thank you so much for explaining that so clearly! I wish I could learn more about American culture so I could understand those Pokémon jokes!

[@shamkand]

I think there are all types of people all over and that a lot of misunderstandings happen because things are lost in translation. I think Asians, in general, can be surprised about encountering foreigners and as things go (there are always stereotypes and generalizations floating around) they could stare because of curiosity. But there is also this idea of being different and I did hear about this mentality that some Asians would date foreigners out of curiosity but they would never take them seriously (like foreigners are not on the same level as they are) anything serious like marriage would never happen. Unfortunately, I did see videos of guys trying to approach foreigners, flirt but when they were turned down, they swore at the girl and spit on them, it made me think they would have never treated Asian girls like that... In this video, everything is like a joke and for humor, but there are some rude people out there in all countries.

[@samuraidad3601]

Thanks for your comment. As you say, the premise of talking about cultural and customary differences is that ”some people are not/do not”. Of course, I understood that the video was a joke with exaggeration. As for the idea of Asian dating for foreigners, I don't feel that way from all of them, but there may be some who do. I think that people who swear at foreigners are probably the kind of people who treat people in their own country the same way.

[@shamkand]

@@samuraidad3601 Yes, that is why I used the word "some" and I said that I feel that a lot of these things happen because of the problems of communication and misunderstanding based on stereotypes. :)

I would love to go to Japan so much. I have no doubt that I would have a wonderful time, but I am always nervous going to foreign countries because of being transgender. With top surgery I will probably never be able to go to an onsen or really any pools or beaches. I don’t even fully look like the gender I identify as so going to other countries is really hard.
