[@MuscleWatching]

You should definitely come to Osaka! And, you should try it, Bannng!!!

[@NightcorEDM]

Spend $500 just to say bang? No thanks

[@sultanarya8337]

dont be rude ok.... in japan you can enjoy everything especially in osaka dont mentioned the money you have spend on that.. money cant buy hapiness right

[@kotokochiharu7210]

Tatsuya, you're full of energy. Thanks for the video. It brings positivity.

[@MuscleWatching]

Yes, I'm always full of energy! I make everybody fun. Thank you!

[@MuscleWatching]

I think so, but It is very hard thing. If I go to Tokyo for this interview, I will cry. haha

[@sevenproxies4255]

The interviewees in Osaka do seem more enthusiastic and friendly compared to the interviews you've done in other Japanese cities actually.

[@ScienceDiscoverer]

Cos he is from Osaka? :D

[@ismailniyaz5167]

Osaka is known as the comedy capital of Japan, and the people there are seen as being more expressive than others. My Japanese teacher is actually from Osaka and she's always complaining about how the people from northern Japan are aloof and have no sense of humor.

[@dragonamu]

the most positive asian boss' video

[@whybora]

dragonamu I was thinking the same thing when I watched this is the morning 😂😂

[@NoneHandle2023]

When you finally realise.... Inuyashiki is really an anime where two delusional people go around Osaka shouting "BANG!" at everyone, thinking they have super powers, can fly and cure cancer... and everybody in Osaka just go along with it for 11 whole episodes because they're nice people. What a great story.

[@ayumisanyuki7116]

Enuma Elis lol that anime, never knew it's a thing in real life good to know (y)

[@HDtothe8]

Hahahahaha psychological comedy

[@hardlybreathe93]

I hold off watching it because it got memed hard and got popular with edgelords. Maybe its the time to watch it

[@osbaldofernanez8359]

Word it's crazy

[@NoneHandle2023]

I am moving to Japan next month to live there and experience this magic.

[@hindsightpov4218]

Oh, snap. People from Osaka talking smack about people from Tokyo. 😂

[@sparky8453]

HindsightPOV people in Tokyo talk smack about Osaka ?

[@juniorhuachoguisado6640]

bang

[@michaelcullen3239]

I live in Tokyo. They see themselves as polite and humble, and further west as a bit more rude and aggressive (Osaka being an extreme example). The west sees themselves as more lively and fun, and Tokyo as boring and cold. They're both right about all those points to be honest.

[@cee_el]

It goes both ways if you ask someone from Tokyo about Osaka lol. It’s true though. Osaka is more loud, crazy, friendly while Tokyo is more proper, serious, and cold. It just depends on which lifestyle you prefer more.

[@moyga]

It happens all the time in Osaka haha

[@TheLocara]

"Omae wa mou shindeiru" "Nani?!" "BANG"

[@kitsura]

The Dude Oraoraoraora....

[@lalakuma9]

Is this JoJo meme? I feel like everything is JoJo these days.

[@kkim2333]

Firstly, the clickbait is REAL with the adorable girl. Secondly, thanks for these lighter/positivity inducing videos every now and then Asian Boss! And thirdly, I should've done this when I went a couple months ago D:

[@Mp3tjuh]

K Kim Calling that clickbait? I assume you have a rather jealous reaction tbh.

[@arianadourre]

Dude there is a guy with a finger gun. calm your mind

[@kkim2333]

LoveInHell wait why would I be jealous LOL. I'm a male who appreciates cuteness xd Just saying its clickbait cause her cuteness forces you to watch the video AHHHHH

[@Aerochalklate]

not clickbait, but it is clickbait if you know what ai mean 😏

[@frankinsaneandmyrrh1202]

yeah it is sliiightly clickbait because she was only in the video very briefly, but not so bad as far as clickbaits go

[@gregai8456]

The bowl cut hair girl is too cute

[@Onika4203]

Greg Ibara yes!! she makes my heart melt!

[@Kira-bo2lq]

Greg Ibara Agreed! She was the cutest one! I want her to be in the next Kdrama I watch 😂

[@whybora]

Imani Mitchell She's not Korean, she's Japanese...

[@hericobailas6258]

Imani Mitchell wtf

[@Kira-bo2lq]

I didn’t know you had to be Korean to be in a Kdrama. I’ve seen plenty of Japanese actors in Kdramas

[@famousamos]

I loved Osaka. It is so much fun!

[@jpsol21]

loved?

[@famousamos]

jpsol21 past tense because I've been there, traveled all over there, and thoroughly enjoyed my time there. I am not there anymore lol.

[@osaka6313]

Nani!?!

[@jellyjellywowie]

If I see you again I swear

[@Penguinssss]

Osaka is the place to be!

[@beastheadshot7]

Most refreshing video I've seen on this channel yet! Keep up the amazing work!

[@NyamNyamNyam]

They are so funny.. didnt know they would react like that.

[@dncviorel]

Well, it's not that funny, but it's kinda cute I guess.

[@c4ghts1]

Japanese can makes these types of jokes and it look like harmless fun, do this in USA and get beat up

[@huiyang4231]

so true

[@sevenproxies4255]

Americans need to stop being so violent and uptight then.

[@piyushsingha8701]

There cops will shoot u without any warning

[@HTSN1]

Slice Of Life, just you

[@lisabertolucci5908]

Dummy, how about if you do it in russia ?

[@Velvet3den]

I'm going to stay in Osaka for a half year, and since I love Tokyo I've felt a bit nervous about it but this video gave me a more positive image of Osaka :)

[@Elwen-xs7gr]

Velvet3den I heard from foreigner who has Japanese friend, she( the Japanese) told the foreigner, Japanese from Osaka and Japanese from Fukuoka don't like Japanese from Tokyo because they(Japanese from Osaka and Fukuoka) think Japanese from Tokyo are snobbish.

[@Velvet3den]

Elwen 1294 I've heard the same, as well as people from Tokyo warning me about Osaka people because they can be too much (like looking out for chikan etc)

[@Elwen-xs7gr]

Velvet3den So, I guess Japanese could dislike each other too depends on dialect and their region too:( What do you mean by 'looking out for chikan'? I am sorry English is not my native, so I am confused the term "looking out for" ._. Is that mean like Osaka people can grope you or sexually harassed foreigners on the train?._.

[@Velvet3den]

Elwen 1294 yes, well it happens in Tokyo too but those people meant since Osaka people are more straight forward the risk would be higher to meet a pervert xD not sure if it's true or just plain prejudices :p

[@IWantToStayAtYourHouse]

Im from osaka. people here are a lot more friendly than tokyo. Theres also stronger accent for japanese so beware. My grandparents have the strongest osaka-ben

[@baamonster2]

The guy talks funny. Also it's nice learning about the differences from different cities. Reminds me LA vs NY.

[@manoellima2881]

here in Rio de Janeiro, brazil, if you hear "Bang" people lie on the floor!

[@xemnomiho]

Socorro eu pensei a mesma coisa

[@xemnomiho]

Alô cidade maravilhosa 🔫🔫

[@vivicandyful]

Infelizmente é a realidade

[@johnlee7362]

Gurl throwing serious shade: "We live a very peaceful life, here in Osaka so we usually don't get shot at. "

[@Shin-nl8oz]

As an Osakan, I feel it was kind of her joke as well.

[@saldiven2009]

I've been to Osaka a couple of times, and the people there are more outgoing than in any other part of Japan that I've visited, but still relatively reserved compared to the USA where I'm from. But, I've been at street concerts where, when the singer noticed a foreigner standing around watching, he started talking to me. He asked me if I knew who Shohei Ohtani was, and stuff like that.

[@IWantToStayAtYourHouse]

Only in japan can you do this and not get beaten up

[@isaacharing]

I can think of a few other countries, but I get your point! 😊👍

[@Cruxador]

Pretty sure I could do this in most places I've lived.

[@jacobl.743]

maybe Korea too if it was a trend there

[@littlefish9569]

PH too! They will laugh hard instead or ignore you just dont do it with rich people You know them they think they should be repected likr gods(most of)😉😂😂

[@alirakkara6874]

THE PEOPLE IN THE BACKGROUND STARING AT THEM PLAYING WITH IMAGINARY KATANAS THOUGH

[@FeeDBacKMKII]

cause they want also play with them XD

[@KlutzyBoss]

nobody is staring at them

[@PandaPanTerror]

THIS IS SO ADORABLE 💕💕💕😂😂😂

[@amass78]

Osaka definitely have one of the friendliest people around. I went last year for one day, took the train from Tokyo. When I got to Osaka I was looking for Dontoburi, this young lady was with her mom and they asked if I needed helped and said they will walk me there. Even with their limited English they still tried to talk to me and get to know me. I was shocked because I’m not used to people being so nice. Thanks young lady with your mom.

[@alirakkara6874]

The child in the stroller be staring at the adults like, "daddy, why are you talking to the wierd stranger and why is he holding a wierd black box to your face???"

[@steffahn]

Lol, this is the funniest I have seen in a long time..

[@april00026000]

A Japanese stereotype is that they are always serious and lack the sense of humor, which I found out was for the most part false when I visited, so I'm glad that they did the video like this to show that Japanese people are in fact friendly and are humorous as well.

[@leswhynin913]

I did this here in Canada and the bank teller gave me stacks of cash. Will try again 👍

[@lambdadelta7327]

Lol definitely going to try this now. I love seeing how people react to things so I'm surprised I never thought of something so simple

[@lejaponennoiretblanc]

Osaka BANG 😂🤣ばりおもろかったわw

[@andingatacho9262]

Le Japon en Noir et Blanc©️ I got it. 😂😂😅

[@zenandetwalo2299]

This was fun to watch ☺

[@mkznan5963]

Osaka people seem really fun. Guess I’ll change my accomodation from Kyoto to Osaka then for my upcoming trip

[@anandasama]

Loved this!! Please do more!

[@syahmieshahar1679]

Japan travel tips: If someone is messing with you in Osaka, tell them you're with The Shimano Family. If they're asking who's your boss, tell them it's Goro Majima.

[@alexander707576]

Finally a positive video, rather than controversial/political from Asian Boss

[@nanye3063]

osaka sounds like a good place

[@silverrain530]

Nan Ye It is.

[@highrankednoob7919]

kansai folks are really the funny guys of japan lol, i live both in saitama for 2 years and in nara for 2,5 years, these kansai people really do know how to have a good time

[@spitfirez89]

I visited Osaka just a week ago. The people there are so friendly and helpful and there is so much to do. Would def recommend a visit to Osaka!

[@sinenomine9093]

Great episode, Thanks for that.

[@chaosmeika]

What a fun video! Loved it!

[@mohamedchakibmokrane2707]

I can feel the diffrent between Osaka's ppl and Tokyo's. That was refreshing

[@ktr_9941]

This made my day... Ty Asian Boss!

[@stellafleuret9150]

WOW, that was a different kind of video compared to others. And boy it was awesome! AMD THE INTERVIEWER LOOKS SO SYMPATHETICALLY! Even if you have one of your worst days, he will make you smile!

[@ayjaybay93]

This is hilarious 😂😂😂 at first I thought it was just a silly trend like the ones that pop up every few months in America, which is still funny, but it’s been going on for decades. That’s awesome!!!!!!

[@asparagusmelontoast]

This is humor

[@MageThief]

Lots of energy from Tatsuya :)

[@sakesako1250]

Can you do a video in 2 parts about Kansai vs Kanto (good spirit) please? Nice video love your work about every country!

[@Yhuniiq]

This made my day...very informative ..and my love for Japan just "shot" up further

[@acraze2u]

I miss Osaka so much!! It’d be nice to live there again. The people there were so friendly and the food was so good!!! Dotonbori!!!

[@copymizer]

Without a doubt my favorite video of asian boss so far. So much fun and laughter

[@matasuki]

That was a fun video. I'd like to visit Osaka now!

[@BlueHen123]

This was such a great video! As someone who has never been to Japan, I've wrongly always just thought they all would act the same...how silly! Now I want to visit Osaka!

[@itsnotcaramel963]

WE NEED MORE OF TATSUYA PLS HE MAKES ME SMILEEEEEEE

[@kotokochiharu7210]

HIROKO.. please make this video in Tokyo, let's see how the Tokyoites really reacts to Bang.

[@hirokotv1602]

Kotoko Chiharu hahaha really wanna try it out!

[@valecious7552]

Can't agree more. Make it happen, Asian Bosses.

[@accmuse6571]

Hiroko TV 大阪は日本全国から旅行者が集まりますが、大阪旅行中の人が見知らぬ外国人にいきなりbangをやられたらあまりいい気持ちはしないんじゃないでしょうか。個人的には見知らぬ外国人にいきなりbangと言われたらとても不愉快です。コメント欄を見ても複数の国の人が自分の国でbangをやったら「刺される」とか「撃ち殺される」とかネガティブな事を書いてました。(だいぶ誇張されているとは思いますが少なくとも良い印象ではないようです) 大阪の繁華街には中国・韓国人も多く来ています。しかしながらアジア人以外の人種からすると日・中・韓国人の区別はほぼつきません。このビデオを見た外国人が、大阪に旅行で来た中・韓国人に向かってbangをやってトラブルになる可能性も十分に考えられます。 ビデオの最後の方の英訳で"definitely try 'bang' on a stranger."と書いてありました。確かにビデオでは通りすがりの2名の方には何の前触れもなくいきなりbangをやっていましたね。この英訳と映像から、大阪人かどうかもわからない"a stranger"にいきなりbangをする外国人がでてくるかもしれません。 上述した通り大阪にいる人が全部大阪人とは限りません。妙な誤解や不要な争いを生む可能性があるので"a stranger"という表現は止めて下さい。

[@thylatrash7668]

omg i'm in love with the interviewer, he seems so cheerful and sunny, listening to him talk really brightened my day :)

[@yujitsuzuki5439]

I'm from Nagoya. I always wanted to move to Osaka so badly! I've met way more nicer people from Osaka than Tokyo back in the day. If you know "culture" Tokyo doesn't have to represent Japan as a whole. People always ask me about Tokyo aa of the mass media and such. I'm living in U.S now but if I ever got a chance to move back, I would go for Osaka for sure.

[@xerotonin6776]

It's decided, when I get my chance to move to Japan, I'm going to Osaka.

[@CuracaoChic]

Gosh this was a very fun video. I enjoyed the lightness of it.

[@mihos1462]

BANG!🔫😂 また大阪に遊びに行きたくなりました〜👍🏼✨

[@neji-hyuga-]

thanks for the video, it was pleasant to see such a lovely and friendly place in the modern society where ignoring strangers has become the norm

[@xemnas3868]

Thats soo awesome ! I thought i knew a lot of things about japan but i didnt even heard of this joke ever existing haha so cool :D

[@royxeph_arcanex]

7:55 the fact they laughed when she told him "Don't intervene!" just shows how funny Japanese people find Manzai to be

[@andreagullo1700]

I immediately reacted on the chair to the "BANG" at the end of the video XD

[@hopew6979]

LOL! This was so random but I loved it! BAAAANG! When I go to Osaka next spring, I'm trying this out on people hahaha.

[@Alaskan-Armadillo]

Props to you guys for going to Osaka I always thought everywhere in Japan was just like Tokyo where it was super formal and reserved but Osaka definitely seems much easier going then Tokyo.

[@Dstergurl09]

This was great and the interviewer was awesome!! BANG! 😂

[@SusannahlovesMiley]

This was so funny!! Kept thinking of Bigbang the whole time tho XD

[@efrainortiz1543]

That small girl with glasses and short hair it's melting down my heart

[@bharat8627]

Loved the video. The reporter did a great job too. ;)

[@ElderSign32]

This video had a very different feel to it, and I enjoyed it quite a bit. The interviewer's charisma took it to another level

[@nafihanasar5271]

Really enjoyed this video hahah something lighthearted and different!

[@neptunianangel7452]

Oh, this was so funny to watch!

[@shouko4218]

I like that reporter 😊

[@ynazzra]

Osaka-ben is so refreshing to hear!

[@leticiarodriguez6768]

Ahhhhh, I where was this video a week ago! I find their reactions great!

[@roselamoure]

I need to go to Osaka as soon as possible😍💜😍 the people are so nice and cute it‘s mind blowing 🙈 love them

[@picklebee5299]

Oh i actually saw you guys filming this, already had a hunch that it might be asian boss

[@sorryimshy5412]

Talk about charm! Osaka people must have it in loads

[@HDtothe8]

That girl in black T-shirt and glasses is a bundle of joy! I was having a rough day, looking at her made me smile ☺️. If the girl is reading this then always be like the way you are 👍

[@thesunnyboy777]

That woman with the black shirt, yellow bag and spectacles is a golden retriever in Osakan form.

[@just_anne8756]

I already love these people 😂

[@alanc497]

These people made a great advertisement for their city. I so want to go there just to enjoy all the positiveness of this city. Such a cheerful video, I might be happy all day long now :)

[@LulRan]

This was so wholesome. Definitely have a second city to visit now if I ever go to Japan.

[@Maugrim76]

Do more stuff on Osaka! This city seems fun, the people have this warm and welcoming vibe and they have a nice sense of humor. I would say, predominantly, if you did say "BANG!" to people here in Sweden, most people would probably either shake their heads and ask you to get a life or they would pretend they didn't hear/see you and carry on walking. :-)

[@user-my3ml8yt7t]

1😊8y

[@amenooni4204]

Currently I am foreign student in Japan and I used to live in Osaka. Now I am living in a small city far from Osaka, but inside I am still Osaka-jin :D Osaka is the best!

[@Ninjanugets123]

Their humor is so pure

[@alexanderg8466]

Different type of video... I like it

[@SendMoreParamedics13]

When I decided to move to Asia, the plan was originally to move to Osaka. Financially it made more sense to move to SE Asia, so that's what I did. This makes me wish I had moved there! I heard only good things about the people there, and I guess this goes to show! That girl doing the impressions with her two friends was too funny. I really can't wait to visit Osaka!

[@rigatoni_pasta]

Oh boy, this video was delightful. That’s so awesome that random people will just react to that.

[@ajm3627]

this video is cute and funny ! Now I definitely want to visit Osaka!

[@bgates275]

Must be a small city versus big city thing. While I can't speak for Osaka versus Tokyo, I definitely noticed the difference between people in Busan versus Seoul, when I was in Korea. I'd say life in Busan was slower paced, where people may have time to joke around, and the people there were definitely warmer and friendlier. The people in Busan also seemed less status conscious and more comfortable in their own shoes. Seems the same is true of Osaka.

[@cdc6970]

The interviewer seems so happy. i love it!

[@alirakkara6874]

The ones with late reactions are always the best ones XD

[@tantalizingfgc]

I definitely need to visit Osaka during my japan vacation, they seem really open minded and funny! If you would do the "bang" in germany I guess people would think youre drunk or they would be offended by it :D

[@SN-ll8hy]

Always so interesting to see such differences between the people of Osaka and the Kanto region, but It would be interesting to know, what led to such a difference between the neighboring cities in the first place?

[@kawaiijp6638]

make sure you only do it in osaka.

[@RS-gz5od]

Shut up

[@ladysuzaku90mirae54]

i will go to Osaka this September!! so excited to use this when I am visiting Osaka!!

[@Minerva04]

That glasses girl though.. 😍 kawai

[@zragon]

Bang Bang... Dadadadadadadadadada... Huh? Everyone dead already -HiR0

[@mayuripanchal874]

Syaoran kun 😂😂😂 When I saw the title of this video, Shishigami was the only one I thought of. XD

[@zragon]

真優梨ちゃん でしょう~

[@112ffhgffg12]

I love this content

[@silverrain530]

I love Osaka! 大坂弁は大好き！💜💜

[@potterlover17]

Tatsuya reminds me of Rock Lee haha he’s so energetic and happy! It’s fun to watch =)
