[@greentea_]

Jaiden loves to do self deprecating jokes and sarcasm as the humor of her jokes. It may not translate when I watch a lot of Japanese folks reacting to her videos, but it’s actually her making fun of herself or her family! The one with her dad is an example of her making a joke of how dumb her dad is for not understanding anything but smiling and nodding repeatedly despite being shit talked.

[@JapaneseEmichannel]

even Japanese get lost in the station it's really complicated

[@saldiven2009]

Shinjuku Station, to me, is the craziest. If you take the wrong exit, you're two full city blocks from where you want to be, and there's no direct way to get from that exit to where you're trying to go. So, you can either take a hike around on the surface streets, or work your way back through the station to the other side. Like, I'm pretty sure we once left by the West Gate when we needed to leave by the New South Gate, but had gotten totally turned around inside the station.

[@rjl310]

Sorry to hear about Robot Restaurant. I've been there twice, and even though I didn't plan to go again, it's a lot of fun.

@トラッスいたMask nothing was just way too expensive, and it clearly only for tourist so when covid happened in sure they lost over 95% of their clients.

[@fullblownmind1551]

@トラッスいたMask pretty much, you literally will spend 10000 yen just to drink water but I don't remember for sure but think they had a 2 drink minimum as well so probably at least 14000 yen for 2 people

I feel so bad for the places that depend on foreign tourists in Japan. Even as the state of emergency is being loosened (although with Delta they are talking about extending it for another month or longer), it is likely that the country might not be open to foreigners till 2022.

I'm barely 1 minute or so into your video, and I had to pause it because I noticed you picked the Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kira opening song for your animation example, and I had to go listen to it immediately. Which made my day happier! So thank you for that, I'm going to enjoy the rest now!

[@Terpster77]

14:01 I love how Jaiden just says “nothing compared to this” while chaos just walks by

[@thedeathblade20]

We miss Japan so much. My Wife and i went for our honeymoon 2 years ago the first time and we loved it. we never had problems in stores or restaurants cause everything was also written in english. with a train app we also never took the wrong train. we visited tokyo, osaka and kyoto. we are just waiting to come again. be strong japan and greetings from switzerland

[@cloudaxolotl6894]

The two Yakuza Jaiden put at the beginning of the video are meant to look like two of the main villains from the anime My Hero Academia, the guy with the black hair and purple scars is Dabi and the guy with the blue hair and hand on his face is Tomura Shigaraki, aka the main villain

[@tomcavanaugh5237]

My experience with people in the train stations was that, once someone understood that I needed something, they wouldn't stop helping, even at the point where I think we both understood that the language issue made that help impossible.

[@azurepulse1870]

When I went to Japan for two weeks in 2019, I had a blast. Getting around was easy because the ios maps app gave us all the info we needed for trains and buses to take and what times they would be arriving. We'd lose signal once we were actually underground in the subway stations but we just had to follow the list of directions to wherever we needed to go and would get signal back pretty quickly. I'm glad I was able to go see the robot show but we were also warned that the food was both... not great and very expensive so we ate beforehand and had a blast. The show is like a love letter and satire to the bits of japanese culture that have made it out to the West- very outrageous and over the top, but entertaining and funny as hell to those of us with experience of Japanese media before visiting the country. Sad to see it close down, but hopefully not for good?

[@teammelkerphilippines3620]

I was in Japan in Spring of last year, the first thing I did was before I left the US I downloaded 3 train/subway apps they helped a lot, from Hiroshima, Osaka, Kyoto and Tokyo

Hey Asagi! Jaiden’s reference of the Yakuza was actually two villain characters from a Japanese(?) anime, called My Hero Academia, or just MHA for short.

[@Marky_08]

This video was so fun it help me to notice some adjustments I didn't noticed in the original video

[@scottfree641]

If I had to guess. The reason she knows so much Japanese is because she is in fact a Japanese American or Canadian. From simple deduction of what she said like " They lost there father in the sea of Asians" Means ummmm her father is Asian (probably Japanese). A family interested in there heritage including there parents implies she probably 3rd generation Japanese American or Canadian meaning her grand parents probably speak Japanese fluently as well as anyone from Japan and the grand kids know enough to understand and get by.

[@osiriso1284]

[@MrSkeptikos]

I visited Osaka, Himeji, and Kyoto. I speak no Japanese (a few keywords only). I had no problem with the maps. Yes, they are large and complicated, but that is because the train system is so massive. The only time I had to ask for help (regarding train travel) was at Kansai. It is a small station and the map was in Japanese only. Some railroad employee cheerfully helped me out. When asking for directions while walking around, everybody was very helpful and polite even if they did not speak much English. Sometimes they even walked to the place I was going to in spite of my assuring them it was not necessary. I remember a single case when I approached a young lady to ask for directions (with a "sumimasen") and she walked away as if she was scared of me. There was an ambiguous case: waiting at a bank, the clerks call me by name to complete a transaction. They did it as " sama." I know it's an overly polite and formal way of addressing someone. I'm not sure if that's common practice in banks or if they were making fun of the Gaijin. Maybe some Asagi or some other Japanese person can tell me. In any case, I had a great time during my stay.

Speaking of the trains and buses, I did not get a smart phone until 2011, meaning 16 years of my adult life was spent with a backpack full of bus schedules even though for about six years I had flip phones capable of browsing in an emergency. It worked in Nassau County, New York, not as much in Suffolk County because of how much more spread out everything was, and finally when I moved to Orlando I just got the schedule books every year. Now, it's one website, plus an app that tells you if the bus is late, plus one that has your bus pass on it, plus Google Maps will come up with what it thinks is the best route only for me to know better sometimes... but yeah, things are a lot easier now than they were.

Jaiden's videos are quite good and I very much enjoy them, but about your question of how professional she is...it's hard to say without getting more info from her directly but she's actually not the most qualified animator on KZbin. See she actually dropped out of school when her KZbin career started doing so well so she doesn't have a complete professional education and just learned a lot from looking up how to animate on the internet and working with other animators online. Not sure if the work she's done would be considered enough experience to be professional or not, and the thing that makes me more unsure is that she has a whole team that work on these videos (those people at 14:24). But between the quality of the animations her team members have worked on for other channels and projects, the quality of her videos before they joined her, and the fact that she's admitted that the more elaborate parts of some of her animations were done by some of them, I think it's safe to say this video turned out this good because it was a group effort.

It's not really something to worry about. When I lived and worked in Japan I was living in the countryside and it would be rare to find anyone that spoke English. However, when I would visit Tokyo on some occasions I would sometimes get lost at the train stations but many of the people working there also spoke English. It makes sense since many English speaking tourists and business people travel through there daily. I didn't have much of a problem getting the help I needed. I still say it's better that you learn at least some Japanese when you go to Japan for obvious reasons but many of the signs telling you where to go are also in English and many people at the Tokyo stations and airports, compared to where I lived in the countryside, spoke English.
