Just to let you know, that was a really cool advertisement-demo that you pulled off there.

[@q1000q]

It's a cool tool for travelling, in France. By the way she dressed up in kimono for the interview?

[@izwong1043]

This is my first time hearing a Japanese sounds so Singaporean. So cute and unique

[@iAxianguy]

She sound so local with a little Japanses accent 😄👍👍👏👏❤

[@GlowofLife]

Yumi is super kawaii! First Japanese lady in kimono speaking Singlish

[@kevina2907]

Max is getting better and better in interviewing people. Applause..

[@MaxChernov]

thanks so much :)

[@badgerfishinski6857]

Women in USA now have penis. Amazing huh?

[@Happy-ty2rp]

If singlish has a test, Yumi will score 10/10. Look how she use aiya😂

[@NEAAFFAIRS]

The fact she knows paiseh piece means more integrated than usual

[@catmatism]

Which is not a good thing because it is still broken English

[@hawkhea7527]

What a good interviewer Max is. Yumi is charming and adorable! Well done!🎉

​@@MaxChernovyou are very good. My daughter loves Russian songs

[@adrianlim6968]

She has the Singaporean accent.

[@aggedor2]

What a surprise to see you here Yumi!! You haven't changed even though it's nearly 20 years since I last saw you! Glad to see you're still enjoying Singapore, so many of the friends I had there then have left over the years..

[@alanbingham7045]

One minute in and I'm like, wah her singlish damn power! I've never heard a Japanese speak naturally like a local before. haha. She showed that Singlish is not only about the lahs, lors etc. Every sentence structure she utters and the tone is Singlish personified,

[@vieworama8188]

I have never ever praised an ad, this is the first ad that I think is amazing. I don't think it'll take over the jobs of translators, as it can't add in cultural nuances and social cues, but can assist in many ways.

[@dw-qs5gf]

Listen to her accent, she must have a lot of local bred friends.

[@deshwitat_2]

Hearing both speaking in own languages is the golden moments in this interview,coz sounds so natural.. max russian voice exactly as i hope it is..🎉😂😂

[@MaxChernov]

hahaha ok

[@suannasabrinapereira8091]

If my daughter see this video, she definitely wants to learn Russian. She loves Russian songs so much until she can sing 1 whole day. It's kind of interesting too with 2 languages communication. Very good ☺️

[@MALEK-xi6cv]

A perfect world would be to speak your own language and understand a different one.

[@Aviclex]

It's so lovely watching this episode all thanks to Yumi! As a Singaporean living in Japan for 8 years (6 years in Tokyo), I wish I could get to meet her. It'll be so interesting to talk about our experiences. Thank you for featuring her!❤

[@safeworld-168yjk]

Hi, why not you contact Max to get Yuki’s contact number? Wishing you the best 😄

Dear Max …I hav just watched a few of your videos. Your varied perspectives and interview styles is amazing ! You show much interest in the person ur interviewing and this makes them respond well and give interesting insights ! Keep up the good work 💪🌺

Kawai Yumi-san. Cheers!

[@MrHipetey]

Always enjoyed Max's video. I hope he gets PR status soon! 😊

[@balisaani]

What a lovely lady, and great conversation (in passing, I googled Syphilis and shaking hands and that would be a hard no on all the websites I consulted - is this very new?). Last but not least, I will try out the little Timekettle for my next trip to Japan! Thanks!

[@limsiewchuan9140]

I ready like the way you speak. You are one of us

[@drjennyli]

Yumi is so sweet and cute .

[@glennchua9043]

[@quekvincent5981]

[@humanshieldz]

It's good to be polite first and it's nice to say how we feel without shouting and raging at everything. This is one thing everyone has to learn from the Japanese. That translation device is amazing!!

[@derrickkua8440]

Hi Max, for the Timekettle demo, may be nice to provide English equivalent translation in addition to Russian and Japanese to help us to follow along. Great interview 👍 Keep up the good work !

[@eatdriveplay]

14:00 the "paiseh piece' (paiseh = embarrassed). When sharing food, nobody wants to look like they are too hungry and ate the last piece :) I think we were brought up by our parents to appear shy/humble/kind, to be considerate and let others have it, otherwise its embarrassing.

[@impopquiz]

Some say if singles take/eat last piece, will remain single. 😅😅😅

paiseh piece i think in malay culture it exist. for us its etiquette to not look too glutton and clean up the plate haha. but nowadays we either yield or just divide it if its too tasty and everyone still want a piece

[@clementihammock7572]

LKY was a good friend with Seiko founder, and he always very frank and blunt to three Japanese Big Newspapers. And many Japanese Corporate leaders have had Candid Conversation with him.

[@sktoh4469]

Some people believed LKY was a Japanese collaborator during WWII.

[@Scottirulez]

Did LKY collaborate with the Japanese in ww2?

[@sktoh4469]

@@Scottirulez From certain events that happened during WWII, it was speculated by certain individuals that he was a collaborator. It certainly looked that way from the description I've read. You may be able to Google for more info. Edit: "Hodobu" was a Japanese propaganda machine in Singapore during WWII. I quote from a government-friendly online publication: "During the Occupation, Lee Kuan Yew joined the Hodobu in 1943 as an English-language editor. He was tasked to run through the cables of Allied news agencies."

[@aero.l]

​@@ScottirulezNo he didn't. Just because one held a job as a civil servant during the Occupation doesn't mean one was a collaborator. The definition of a "collaborator" was one that provided intelligence to aid the Japanese war effort, not one that carried out daily tasks based on their skill sets.

[@neutroyaz]

Yumi is such an amiable person. On another note, would love to see you interview Russians who had fled to Sg cos of the war ...

[@kenzone]

Haha, she sounds very Singaporean, in fact more like a Singaporean who knows how to speak Japanese, rather than a Japanese who knows how to speak Singlish.

[@SuccessforLifester]

The embarrassment to take the last piece was around since the senior times. But things are changing, if you go for a meal with a table of stranger uncles and aunties, the food would be wiped out very fast

[@eddymohd5282]

With All Due #Respect, #thankyou And Congratulations For Sharing This Video With Us All. #Yes #indeed.

[@thesavvyartist]

She speaks local. Nice.

[@aero.l]

I think it's absurd to expect PRs to give up their citizenship just to take up SG citizneship. For me, I would never give up my SG citizenship even if I work and live in another country as it forms part of my identity. PRs feel the same too.

[@yivunqp963]

It's just a question this show asks to every interviewee. Also for them to share their reasons.

[@utubechase31]

Hi Max Your interview with Yumi was most interesting. Both of you were amazing. Keep it up with your interesting videos. 👍How much is the Timekettle and how can I get the discount as said at the end of your video.

[@MaxChernov]

Yes there is a discount. You check in the description of the video

Japan's passport is bloody good already. Why would you apply for S'pore citizenship?

[@cocaineminor4420]

Exactly unless your born in Singapore than obviously he or she will have it

[@aero.l]

Exactly.. for Japanese, their citizenship is part of their identity. Expecting them to give it up to get SG citizenship is ludicrous.

Well, let say if you don't dress well or not wealthy let's see how they treat you. I have been to Singaporean and my GF was Chinese and we didn't get a geniune help when we asked for suggestions or direction. When I was in Thailand two groups of Singaporean mistreated a group of Malaysian. I think what one or a few persons say doesn't mean much. You have to go there to truly experience it yourself.

[@mic5391]

Did both of you behave well!?

[@Lisa-yl1dv]

How did you behave? If you come here and act like morons, you will be treated like a moron.

[@Jemolian]

It doesn’t really matter how you dress that much, sometimes we are either not really friendly / don’t really want to talk to strangers / may not know the info to suggest / or other reasons. It’s unfortunate you didn’t get the help you need depending on what you feel “genuine” is. At least for myself, I’ve helped a few people before about directions from the best of my knowledge.

[@samyang5873]

Ya , fun conversation but let me do some correction. Okinawa does not belong to Japan , it was annexed by Japan. How to respect a country's culture & people when no sincere apology was given for her atrocities against countries in Asia , esp the Nanjing Massacre & Unit 731 where Chinese were used for some horrible experimentation. Till today , the Japanese have refused a sincere apology even trying to whitewashed her dark history. Some say Japanese are nice & kind but hey , you have not met real nasty ones. Don't get me wrong , there are many Japanese that are nice people. In my encounters with Japanese , they usually do not show you their displeasure , but they still will bow & smile. Sorry for being blunt & to the point. Btw , of course there are nice Japanese too & i love their sushi.

[@mic5391]

If I remember correctly, Mao Zedong already signed away all rights in exchange for monetary assistance from Japan! So, all other Asian can talk about Japanese atrocities, except prc!

[@jamesyue1348]

why the f she downgraded from Japanese to Singaporean ?
