I did the research: Joey uploaded his first interview video (not called 'I spent a day with') on the 9th of December 2016 and Anthony uploaded his first on the 12th of August 2017. So Joey made his interview video first, but Anthony uploaded his first 'I spent a day with' video on the 6th of February 2018 and Joey uploaded his first on the 13th of July 2020. So Anthony was the first to name it 'I spent a day with' but Joey was the first to make an interview style video.

The lack of sarcasm in Japan was an adjustment when I lived there. The first time we stayed at a hotel with an in room onsen, my young son screamed and cheered soon as he saw it. The bellhop was so confused when I turned to him and said “Sorry, he hates onsen.”

[@blasianking4827]

Wow! Props to Anthony, who has a great understanding of the English language, never knew the word "Dapple" or "Dappling". Komorebi = the light that comes through the leaves of a tree. Dappled light = is produced when sunlight passes through the leaf canopy of a plant.

[@Rissen_]

Im curious to know where are u in the world? Im im england and dappled/ dappled light is used pretty common but ive seen several comments saying they havnt heard the word (i love people are excited about learning it, its a cool word) I know im dumb so it isnt that my lexicon is diverse with uncommon words

[@TBTapion]

Just goes to show that English is more expressive than you think, albeit still not as expressive as Japanese.

[@ndwolfwood09]

@@Rissen_ Yep, always a pleasure to learn something new, it's what some of us strive for in life! I'm in California, US. It's weird, but it's not a common word/phrase used where I live.

Joey is just such an insanely good talking partner. This episode went so fluently because this almost just feels like you two talking rather than an interview. Thanks for the video!

[@ahrisah]

I did a research paper in Uni about sarcasm in Japanese. Like Joey said, they have it but don't use it often. Also, we use sarcasm to bond with people, and in Japanese, it's used in a more antagonistic way.

[@fluidthought42]

I like to say that the Japanese do have sarcasm, but they don't really dig on verbal irony. Sarcasm is usually defined as being denigrating or mocking, while verbal irony isn't. It's the difference between calling someone Einstein as a sarcastic insult and calling a rainy day a lovely day to go suntanning. The first is sarcasm, the latter is verbal irony.

[@tishayat]

yes exactly to poke at you essentially as a person who knows English sarcasm its hilarious to hear and VERY good sarcasm but its because its so harsh and so antagonizing like you said

[@theforestofoak]

yeah, we use the word sarcasm in a more broader sense than it actually is. the definition of sarcasm is "the use of irony to mock or convey content", whereas we're often being facetious or ironic instead of actually sarcastic. so Japan has sarcasm (in the dictionary sense), but not so much facetiousness or irony

[@crickidie]

In visiting Japan, we had a random older Japanese man at a bar approach us to practice his English and I just know that must have been way out of hot comfort zone it was just so sweet

I never liked the “where do you see yourself in 5 years” question, because life is fluid and we can’t see the future. I think what are your top 5 goals would be a better question.

[@possumlodge5368]

Especially when you're fresh into the work force just living day to day lol. I remember being unsure about what situation I'd be in a month from then.

[@hecatrice2064]

That’s my mom’s favourite question. She doubles down and asks me where I see myself in 10 years

[@Sir1ri]

I used to think the exact same way until I realized the importance of it. It's not about your fixed goals but rather hey have you ever thought about your own life and know what you are doing? Makes you realize what your heart truly feels.

Exactly!! Also you feel more eager to be productive and achieve long time projects if they are divided in sets of goals.

I've heard people say that Joey's Japanese is like dictionary-level impeccable, but he often misuses words in English, so I think his Japanese is probably a lot better than his English.

[@Pikapichuu]

I think living in Japan for so long would effect his English vocab. I know he's around a lot of English still for work and stuff but I'm sure it still has an impact. That was my issue when in brasil fir a few years studying

[@Yuer-h9e]

No, he misuses some Japanese words too(he is the most native sounding person who didn’t grow up in Japan that I’ve ever seen though). Being perfect at two+ languages is just near impossible

Japan is loaded with so much culture not related to anime and I wish more people understood that

[@amandakucsera]

I don’t want to live in Japan, but many beautiful things exist there for sure.

[@SmugOcelot]

I think the issue is that people only get a specific view of Japan, especially through anime. I’m actually not sure if SOME people would care about Japan if it wasn’t for anime. I try to be more interested in learning about Japanese culture, though it’s not something I really seek… from my perspective I’d probably learn more if I visited Japan, but there a whole bunch of steps I’d want to take (like learning basic Japanese) before doing that

[@Sera-F1nn]

It's extremely unfortunate that anime was the thing being exported rather than... most anything else.

[@Bisexualdragon4042]

I miss the anime content Joey makes but his challenge videos and interviews have been fun to watch. I hope he eventually sprinkles in anime content when he ends a good subject

[@basementdwellercosplay]

I will say German does have formal and informal way of speaking like how Joey described Japanese. We spent half of semester in my german class on the different pronouns and conjuction you have to use when talking to superior versus a friend. I remember seeing a story of a man who was robbed in germany and the man seemed to be a non native speaker since he keep speaking formal to the person he was robbing, basically say,"Good sir please give me your wallet!". Its very confusing for everyone in the class who all spoke languages that didnt have that system(most of us were only english speakers but a few were bilingual)

[@ChaosCause3000]

As a native German speaker with intermediate Japanese, you’re kinda right, but Japanese is even more intense. In German you have mostly informal and formal but in Japanese you have way more levels

[@Vinci480]

@@ChaosCause3000 I'm not that deep into my own Japanese study yet but from what I saw so far of Keigo, translates pretty well into German, you might need to shift a word here or there but in general you also have different levels of formal and informal speech. I noticed foreigners to german struggle with this especially at first in school since there can be a complete mess of a blend between friends, teachers or dont care about getting respect and the ones that wish you would adress them as the president of the world. So far most if not all of what I saw with Japanese grammar has one way or another to translate it into German, some systems are just used differently in each language. But also mixing Kanji and Context based conversations in, definitely doesn't help making it easier.

[@newvidahall]

A stereotype that grates on me a bit is when people claim English isn’t expressive. It’s all about the breadth of vocabulary you know; metaphor, simile, wordplay, and tonality add flavor. It’s not a language lacking in depth, rather, often times (like any other language) it’s the people that speak it lacking in depth.

[@KantoCafe715]

Yea I'm not supposed to like English, as a fluent Welsh speaker, but the English language has so much depth. The accents and dialects in the UK fascinate me and the way people, use it. I think this is the main reason English has caught on around the world rather than brute colonisation. Japanese people who fall in love with English say they can be themselves when they speak it.

[@papipeanuts1576]

I agree but I thought it was ironic because I feel like Japanese is way less expressive then English.

[@lilaculots]

hm, i think you're right, but i think maybe someone who has only spoken japanese or who grew up speaking only japanese for 90% of their life could have a hard time understanding just how hard tone, even something like facial expression or body language can add. also ' connotations ' -- the fact that certain words MEAN the same thing but they carry a different feeling. think ' portent ' vs ' harbinger ' . they both technically mean the same/very similar, but harbinger has much more negative feeling. joey was representing the opinion of a mainly japanese speaker. i mean he did agree with him but it could be easy to agree with him. with japanese maybe it's just that you don't have to put so much personal, active effort into making it deep, because the words taught in school already give that depth?

[@christabelle__]

Firstly, excellent interview! You two have excellent chemistry and play off of each other so well! Secondly - most languages that aren't English have words for sensations and situations that in English would amount to a sentence, or a paragraph even! German has that MAJORLY in common with Japanese, even! It's also funny to me that when learning Spanish, they said that the formal and informal words weren't super important in conversation - but in Japanese, it's ESSENTIAL.

[@penselnel]

I'd say that English is a language that has many specific terms, but simply don't use them. this is why we say primary and secondary vocabulary. while you could be using these specific terms, most people wouldn't understand you because the terms aren't universally taught. and Japanese might use those types of terms and words more frequently. just a guess tho. coming from a Swede, I find many words that describe detailed things but they just aren't used daily. Here in Sweden, many old words are set aside for modern English slang. I think we should bring back overly specific terms.

[@YourRyeBread]

21:29 i watched that interview with joey and the japanese youtuber. When he said that English is not as expressive as Japanese, I just thought, this kid doesn't know jack shit about the English language. Japan is the epitome of the Dunning-Kruger effect. English is the most malleable language on earth, we're not restricted compared to most languages especially Japanese. Japanese on the other hand is so restrictive that it even affects how they behave, simply because they can't express many things.

[@crwmy]

11:45 on the topic of perceiving (stereotyping) Japan as futuristic and technologized, I found „Techno-Orientalism“ edited by Roh, Huang and Niu, that interrogates this idea (and broader Asian stereotypes in context of technology) thoroughly through various essays. For me, this helped countered some bias in my own perception, stemming from Anime but also Cyberpunk tropes. One of the early statements that I found intriguing was the framing of Japan and China in context of technology: „Japan creates technology, but China is the technology. In the eyes of the West, both are crucial engines of the future: Japan innovates and China manufactures.“ (p. 4) From the back of the book: „Techno-Orientalism investigates the phenomenon of imagining Asia and Asians in hypo- or hyper-technological terms in literary, cinematic, and new media representations, while critically examining the stereotype of Asians as both technologically advanced and intellectually primitive, in dire need of Western consciousness-raising.“

[@ericjeswein1690]

[@sebastian-ny1sp]

12:49 I agree with Joey that living in japan and visiting is very different but as someone who has lived in japan i would 100% wanna live there again.

11:17 This is so true! After living here for 10 years now, the utopia/"honeymoon" phase is long gone. However, it still beats my home country even with it's issues. I do like the fact that Joey speaks on the difference between visiting and living in Japan

[@fma64]

As a third world non-binary foreigner living in Japan, I can totally confirm you're not gonna have the best of times if you come to live here, socially is 50 years behind (and technologically too, it's always fun to let people know that fax and stamps are still used here) so unless you don't need some specific human right, coming here, specially from an English speaking or European country, will be a very nice experience. Now, if you come as a tourist, then you will have a great time (most Japanese may not like foreigners, but they like money). I'm sorry if what I'm saying sounds rude, but I'm kind of venting my personal experience

Fellow Aussie here. Yep our internet is one of the worst in the world and used to be incredibly slow.

The way Joey expresses this hidden agenda towrads foreigners in Japan, resonates so much with me being from Mexico but was raised in the USA but durring the 90s to 2010s, I have the same feeling though I've noticed mostly everyone are super nice to tourists but when it comes to actually living here, I've fallen into a bad depression since I've moved here and the change is so drastic from what I was used to that I am trying hard to leave this country and never return for how bad I've been treated here.

[@Yuuuuuuuuuuyyya]

[@mcmann7149]

I can get that feeling of isolation and aversion to anything foreign. IDK if it's the same in Australia, but at least from what I've experienced in the US and read about, American society does have that same aversion to outside ideas and cultures. It's just that instead of all outsiders, society moves and changes who they hate. I highly suggest reading on the immigration of the Germans in the early colonial settlement, very interesting stuff, especially when you compare their treatment to the slaves that would come some 200 years later.

[@HouseMDaddict]

I think because America is so big and has basically 50 small countries (states) itself, it's hard for people to sort of narrow down "Americans" as a whole. I grew up and worked in the Northeastern US and the majority of people know languages other than English (and usually it's not just Spanish or French or German, but it's like Thai, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, various African languages, various Native American languages,) and a lot of it is due to how fascinated people are with other foods and cultures and how diverse the US is in allowing access to foreign media. Anime/manga, Manhwa (Korean) and Manhua (Chinese) have all blown up in the last decade especially though like Funimation, Crunchyroll, and webtoons where people WANT to learn more languages and cultures to be able to understand cultures beyond just a piece of media translated in English. I'm purposely learning Japanese so I can understand beyond what works for an English translation and it's so great to watch something in Japanese and know there's a meaning behind stuff

[@IzzyKawaiichi]

Joey mentions there being words in Japanese that need a whole sentence or phrase in English, but I'm pretty sure every language has words like this. For instance, is there another language that has a singular word that references the act of drawing up voting districts in absurd shapes in order to achieve your political goals? How does one explain "gerrymandering" in Japanese? The kanji for "komorebi" literally mean "tree," "shine through," and "sun." While none of the individual syllables are the same as the standard words for those things in Japanese, as kanji is based on Chinese characters, it's kind of like words that use Latin and Greek word combinations in English, such as how "arachnophobia" comes from the roots that mean "spider" and "fear."

back then if you tried searching up anime recommendations, joey’s channel always appeared. it was sort of unavoidable that his youtube channel would appear a lot in the “anime” search on yt. i gave in one day & watched an anime recommendation video of his. i would say that he is partially the reason how i got into anime just because of his explanations, he put a lot of anime & manga fans onto really good anime back in the days when there wasn’t nothing else to do but escape in youtube & cartoon animations

Every country has issues. Some more than others ofc, but idealising a place isn't a great mindset and the people that do suffer feel unheard, which is unfortunate. What a great interview. I can't believe I'm the same age as Anthony. He's so pretty.

22:55 I think this is a general problem for anyone learning a second language if they only speak one other language. One of the biggest take-aways from doing this is fully internalizing the idea that some things simply don't translate cleanly between languages, and the full extent of this. And I think you start to internalize this even more once you start learning say a third or a fourth language. And yeah, I think being funny in a second language is among the most difficult. I speak english daily and much more often than my mothertoungue swedish (as I live abroad), but it's still a second language and I'm just in general much more funny in Swedish, and I've heard many others express this very same feeling.

Joey's song, Moon, is by far the greatest midnight drive music ever.

[@HopeeInk]

The fact that I watched most of these major shifts in his career happen in real time, just showed me that I spent way too much time on this platform.

[@gongi9760]

Me when I see pewdiepie and/or other KZbinrs get married and start families after watching them for almost 10 years 🥲

[@coltynstone-lamontagne]

22:22 and now I have learned what dappled light is😂 what an educational channel

[@perkysnood]

The sarcasm part is so hilarious, because a friend brought his Japanese friend to America for a little while, and he learned sarcasm. He loved it so much, he would only speak sarcastically. to the point that everyone couldn't tell if he was being real. One time, he said he liked a food and everyone thought he was being sarcastic. He wasn't that time lol

[@bbumbs747]

Hey to those that didn't follow Joey before this video I just want to add a little tidbit. Regarding his computer exploding, to expand upon the story, Joey was actually playing Nekopara while all of that happened.

[@illyso]

Joey's the type of guy to reveal Japan's darkest secrets

[@aliasjon8320]

I feel like I'm watching 2 Jojo characters have a casual conversation together

[@lilacrimosa]

Anthony was right about the closest word in English for komorebi being "dappling" or "dappled light."

[@HouseMDaddict]

Complete with the Family Mart socks!

[@lolle0203]

Now let’s ask the real questions: do the interviewed people sit in the room when Anthony does the sponsored segment?

[@jenniferrose2360]

I think they used to, because sometimes they’d chime in. But that hasn’t happened in a long time. Based off that I’m assuming not anymore

[@jannetzaylaa1537]

This was such a chill interview I loved it it was so real and it actually teaches me quite some things❤

[@trixie706]

man hearing Joey talking about Corpse Party triggered nam flashabcks fr, watching that stuff as a 12 year old back then was horrifying

[@DragonsYuh]

i just remembered seeing the video where joey graduated college, damn thats a throw back

[@matthew_natividad]

What were his let’s plays like?

[@DragonsYuh]

i only really watched his anime videos, i remember him posting game content but that wasnt really why i watched@@matthew_natividad

[@statesminds]

Anthony has been on Trash Taste and slowly all of Trash Taste is coming on his show. Hypeee

[@CamKoudo]

First Connor and now Joey?! Cannot wait for Garnt to be next 😃

[@Sth_Magical]

Joey rocking the Famimart socks and I'm here for it LOL. Nice interview too

[@Koutouhara]

Dappled is good adjective to attach to the light you see on the ground to explain komorebi in English - but it's not specific to 'the light filtered though trees' only. Like, you can have a dappled patterned fur on horses and other animals, also in art on canvas, etc; dappled can apple to a lot of things because it's a pattern of something, not the only thing. Love the interview though!

[@offbeatweapon]

I remember in my geography class we had a grad student from Japan in the US. I asked him if he enjoyed manga/anime, and he was so offended I even asked him lol.

[@KantoCafe715]

Why when manga cafes are everywhere in Japan. Maybe he didn't realise it was a uniquely Japanese thing

[@SmugOcelot]

my brain read pornography class instead of geography class… also maybe he was offended because it sounded like you assumed he likes manga/anime because he’s from Japan?

[@KantoCafe715]

like me being offended if a Japanese person asks me if I like afternoon tea?@@SmugOcelot

[@purbatreasure]

Anthony collecting Trash Taste boys like Pokémon cards xD Really hope Garnt comes on!

[@linkkillua]

Omg two of my fav creators togetherrrr~!
