[@shafaet1194]

6:32 Sora: There are so many people copying your style these days, Takashi. If it were me, I'd be like, "Oh no, that's not good." Do you ever feel threatened by that? Takashi: Nah, not really. When I watch their videos, I know mine are way better in quality, so. LMAOOO THIS GUY IS SO BASED.

[@jeff__w]

6:54 “As long as they’re copying me, they’ll never surpass me.” _That’s_ confidence. The best thing about this interview is that Takashii comes across, as he always does, as a genuinely nice, down-to-earth guy. It’s great when people like that are successful.

[@YOshifuME]

[@ferretyluv]

He’s a genius. He never reveals his own opinion so people can project their own values on him. This is why The Rock is so successful.

[@seventail]

not true, he reveal with his expression just not words

[@coolexplorer1015]

Because if interviewer reveal their own opinion then it will affect the answers

[@dannsteven]

The Rock is an egomaniac off camera. He wanted to take over the F&F series which mainly belonged to Vin Diesel considering he has been apart of the series since the first movie.

[@Arcessitor]

He reveals plenty with the questions he chooses to ask and the answers he chooses to have on his channel. You'd have to be blind not to get a clear distinct message out of it.

[@helios4595]

Not sure about that. He sometimes gives his opinion about the topic at hand in the end of his videos lol

I have seen other channels with a similar content. But TAKASHii is certainly the most wholesome of the bunch. I think I have been a subscriber of his channel not long since he started. It is quite a journey seeing he has over 2 million subscribers now.

It’s pretty cool how he pretty much gives us a bunch of information on the Japanese culture. It’s super useful if you’re planning on going

[@acolyte1951]

I never thought of Takashi's videos as high quality compared to other similar interviews. They are well executed for sure, but I find them endearing for their simplicity and parts where 'why did you do it that way' and 'that could've been better but you're a normal youtuber so it's fine.' I've seen other youtubers who have 'copied' his style (and people who've done his type of style before him), and although they tend to be lesser in quality, they are still generally similar as well.

[@mirzasthreepeat3082]

I like Takashi's videos. And I think that it's cool that he doesn't care about the negative comments too much. Also, I don't think that his videos neccessarily mean that Japan is 100% what is being shown by Takashi, but they are fun videos to watch. I'm glad he's doing ok with KZbin.

[@misosoup8030]

Thank you. One of my favorite things is to see two KZbinrs together. It was the first time for me to see Takashi speak so much Japanese. His voice seems deeper, and it was nice to see him in this natural candid atmosphere. I enjoyed this very much.

Tbh asian boss was the one who pioneered these street interview content, takashii while pretty good himself is fairly new to the format

Asian Boss lost all credibility when it was exposed for having a Chinese activist appear as an average Taiwanese in a street interview in Taiwan. And they deleted all the comments pointing it out. Asian boss pretends to be neutral, but in reality they are quite political and have a specific agenda.

[@akiyajapan]

More than a few Japanese KZbinrs have commented that his presentation of many issues isn't representative of Japan as a whole, and is possibly even purposefully controversial just to get more views. At the very least, much of his content is a very small snapshot, at best, of a small demographic within one area. Hardly representative of Japan. The amount of Japanese people who are tired of Tokyo representing Japan, for example, is high.

[@johnlin5550]

Just like the amount of French people who are tired of Paris representing France is also high, yet it is for a reason; extremely high population density around capital cities (around the world, I might add) which means that such cities are, by the numbers, _most_ representative of its corresponding country. Realistically such KZbinrs are simply playing the numbers game, rather than "purposefully controversial", although they probably wouldn't mind the attention, admittedly. Hate the game, not the player? Of course, your point about such a representation being *actually* unrepresentative is accurate, but I'd caution against painting too nefarious a picture of these Internet personalities.

I think the first street interview format in Japan especially or asia in general started by Channel called Asian Boss since almost a decade ago probably. But Takashii surely the first individual who did it consistently with much wider topic while asian boss usually only asked about the latest or trending topics.
