Imagine walking on the street, doing a public interview, when out of all people, you met the Japan champion beat boxer

[@jeevanraj619]

so random

[@purpleteardropss]

and he likes bjork! taste

[@nixdeity]

and he likes bjork

[@korpen2858]

I like how this one random guy they went up to were like "I like Björk" (being Swedish i was like, wot.) And then he proceeds with "Also i'm the national champion in beatboxing."

[@deftbeck1669]

Well, she made a whole album centered around the human voice (Medulla)

[@ireneserrano4570]

Actually Björk is from Iceland, not Sweeden

[@Raidanzoup]

@@ireneserrano4570 Speaking as a Norwegian, a Swede would definitely take notice of the spelling regardless of whether or not they know of the artist or where they're from.

[@xft3961]

Same i was : Wait Björk?! i was at least really surprised (im from Iceland)

[@DarkStarGSK22]

Björk is amazing!

[@teraphIl1000]

I'm not into any of this mainstream stuff, I only listen to animal mating calls.

[@FlyFlicks]

Great, then youll love my new Fly mating CD, out this Christmas!!!

[@sanny8716]

At first I read it as "anime mating calls" XD

[@FranciscoCruz-zy6dm]

Diego that is WAYYYY too new for me I only listen to Single cell organisms reproducing

[@cosmicsoul_wav]

+TakeOver TOFC love this haha

[@eceheceheceh]

ahhhh the love song of whale mating song is just perfect.

[@toiletpaper4624]

i love how diverse they are. i look on japanese billboards and the songs on there are so diverse in genre and country

[@user-qk1xt3yb7i]

Weeb

[@dliyahanifah9102]

I like how Japanese people appreciated every genre of music. In my country it was quite hard to find people with indie or rock music taste. Basically pop and kind of ballad music was more popular. And yes, classical was something that I say not common.

[@mariovazquez4436]

Sadly the era of rock in America is long gone

[@brogin]

"you don't see too many people here" *streets are packed*

[@freddypumper8794]

brogin that empty for Japan, look up Halloween in Shibuya on KZbin if you wanna see how packed it can get

[@DuchAmagi]

How to thicken letters on yt? Like that? Nope.

[@rianp1300]

use asterisk * before and after the sentence

[@ThunderK01]

***** "Jewtube"? I don't see how adding a stupid insult out of nowhere is connected to anything?

[@ThunderK01]

[@IndianaJonas96]

SneakySoySauce Awesome thank you! i will watch the whole video but this is more because ill forget all the artists afterwards heh

[@kuroshinko427]

Who are the jazzy artists? I'm curious.

[@Sharnalk666]

No problem ! Don't be afraid to do other videos like that (maybe favorite movies ?). I will list everything again if nobody beats me to it :)

[@Sharnalk666]

Yes that's exaclty the same for me, might as well make a list to help everyone in my case :)

[@leiph129]

I'm glad to see visual kei is still popular in Japan.

[@aaronmcbryer3980]

My favorite Japanese band is a Visual Kei metal band called Versailles. Their guitarists are incredible.

[@lexbeltran1354]

You should give Sigh a listen

[@Mintyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy]

Dir en Grey for me. I haven't of Versailles yet. Imma check em out

[@VioletScene2014]

Yep, used to love that too, Hizaki right? Teru also good (2nd guitarist), and I think I saw once that Hizaki has his own channel and had a "talktime" with Kamijyo, but I can't remember the channel, my bad.

[@Xardyn9412]

Surprised by the lack of Kenshi Yonezu, tbh. But then again, it's recorded in 2016, and Yonezu only became big in 2017.

[@marcusaureliusregulus2833]

Ok I see....I was wondering too😅

[@cinamon_bagel7985]

there was no KANA BOON and they make a lot of good music that isnt naruto

[@mafu_ne]

[@beatriz894]

[@eddy9524]

Beatriz GIVEITAWAYNOW!! AAAAHHHHHHH YEAH!0

[@WHACKattack8523]

[@annedrop]

I'm happy that they mentioned Shiina Ringo!

[@NinjaVampireCyborg]

Beastie Boys and Nirvana....Edgy 90s kids still live on in the world!!

[@ShamoyRahman]

90s is the best except I'm more into Trance which was also great in the 90s

[@NinjaVampireCyborg]

yes but are you edgy like me?

[@ShamoyRahman]

Freddy Takenoko idk man, i'd have to meet you in person lol

[@gabrielrearden4917]

Freddy Takenoko of course.. :)

[@DeathBringer769]

If they would have said Alice in Chains or Pearl Jam my jaw probably would have dropped...

[@BedrockSolid]

bless all the cool people who said frederic, Shiina Ringo, The Mars Volta, Björk, Kana Nishino, and Seiko Oomori (also The Beatles of course) also respect at 5:47 for knowing Tsugaru-Kaikyou Fuyugeshiki

[@phoenixarizonastate1715]

Bless the guy that said beastie boys and nirvana

[@joeh858]

The Mars Volta was a phenomenal answer, they have taste

[@ryeofoatmeal]

"Justin Bieber, idk what he's saying" 😂

[@jeevanraj619]

yummy

[@citlalinajera3745]

I'm glad someone said Radwimps since theyre my all time favorite band next to OOR .

[@gudiberr]

Citlali Najera me too!

[@emmakatenotcake]

Citlali Najera Your Name introduced me to their music, and I've got to say, it's pretty awesome!

[@citlalinajera3745]

[@deslyoness1174]

[@masonyoung696]

[@RandomGuyinJapan]

That beatbox guy at 1:59 is really DAMN good! How come you had so luck meeting him on the street? lol

[@hawkeyeninja]

how tf did that beat boxer make those string sounds

[@chasingwock]

HawkeyeNinja hacks

[@MagillanicaLouM]

HawkeyeNinja very carefully

[@bananoramatfw]

With the back of his tongue

[@FEAROWNAGE]

It bothers me that he's better than me.

[@isaiahcampbell3992]

well he is the beatbox champion of japan

[@AlexisAlexander646]

Moral of the video: Everyone has different music tastes

[@coleng06_]

People mentioning EDM, House music, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Kpop, Visual Kei (especially SuG) and L'arc~en~ciel. OMG. 😍

[@TrickWithAKnife]

Gotta love Maximum The Hormone. Great sound, clever yet funny lyrics, and the band members are awesome people.

[@Mecks089]

Yes! They are my favorite Alternate Metal Band from Japan.

[@sakuramoon5774]

I was surprised and glad to hear someone mention them!

[@Zoi-ai-art]

Maximum the hormone was the only band I knew in the ones listed :D. You should try Yousei Teikoku though, best band ever :p

[@poralium196]

I forgot how I originally found out about them, but they kick major ass

[@ricka4678]

no one mentioned ONE OK ROCK they're my favorite j rock band

[@dominicvillaruz9265]

Rick A same here 😢

[@shady0810]

same

[@Opethiansoul]

Rick A I think lately they're more popular overseas than in Japan, that's why

[@yessymarianaym]

I was wondering too and ready my fingers to count how many people say One Ok Rock. Apparently none.. Sad

[@stevanusbatubara3799]

me too

[@MaikGianino]

Surprised that nobody said Perfume, One OK Rock or BABYMETAL.

[@IndianaJonas96]

rezargamer Well if people overseas know them wouldnt that be because they're very popular...?

[@IndianaJonas96]

rezargamer Whats Amuse? A western company?

[@IndianaJonas96]

rezargamer yeah but what about them. Why isnt it a coincidence

[@DigitalFumino]

I was a bit surprised with the Perfume one as well. Thought maybe Krary Pamyu Pamyu would get mentioned too. Hey, at least the group Sumetal's sister is in got mentioned =)

[@DigitalFumino]

It's a talent agency that created Cherry Blossom Academy (Sakura Gakuin, an idol group) which is where Babymetal was formed and have put together many other groups.

[@FDFAcanal]

Sandaime J Soul Brothers, Exile and Arashi are amazing.

[@iamgod4174]

Nah radwimps is better

[@jaysii1146]

When most of the teenagers listen to kpop and stuff, and there's that mid 40's (i guess) woman listens to coldrain. Men that woman really has a good taste of music.

[@KaylahH]

IKR I live in NY too I was shocked LOL

[@aidanschram9652]

Most teens in America listen to rap

[@thechunkytrucker5111]

***** ur lack of proper spelling is the downfall of my existence

[@aidanschram9652]

***** Yeah most rap is but there is some good rap too. Also country and modern pop music is too

[@aidanschram9652]

***** No i think its just because many rap artists don't put much effort into their music and rap doesn't require much skill

[@exterminatus5782]

How to offend Japanese : Tell them AKB48 is the face of Japanese Music.

[@ThatJapaneseManYuta]

hahaha so true.

[@salimjacobs9620]

That Japanese Man Yuta

[@MrRdlv]

the general public like nogizaka and keyakizaka more lol

[@MonstertruckBadass]

Master Warlock Why is that offensive?

[@exterminatus5782]

They are too mainstream and people tend to hate that, especially AKB48 have lots of attack points (otaku and lolicon stigma for example). I predict same thing will happen to Nogizaka46 (乃木坂46) and Keyakizaka46 (欅坂46) 2-3 years later when they are too popular.

X Japan, my favourite band of all time even if the band is not really famous in my country (France)! I discover them in 1999 and saw them 3 times (once in France, once in the UK and the last time in Japan).I also like The Blue Hearts especially the song "Linda Linda".

[@Sodapop1317]

"it's getting dark so you don't see too many people here." -there are people everywhere.

[@NathyIsabella]

Sodapop but when it gets dark, you can't really see, so... haha

If you can actually walk there and not have to sort of shuffle forward, it's empty.

[@KanaievenTokyo]

YOU HAVE NOOO IDEA XD

[@silviemonk5556]

What I find a bit fascinating is that bands in Japan never last long for one reason or another. I'm old, so I tend to like the bands that aren't around like "Blue Hearts," "Pizzicato Five," or "Do as Infinity." And no ska mentioned? OreSkaBand and Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra are awesome! Thanks, Yuta!

[@jackie.kodaira]

Pizzicato Five is the best s2

[@KaylahH]

OMG I LOVE DO AS INFINITY

[@silviemonk5556]

Jackie Kodaira I LOVE YOU BOTH! KAYLAH AND JACKIE!

[@sharker93]

Yeah man OreSkaBand and SkaPara are super cool! Love them!

[@minteee8236]

Shibuya-kei stuff like Pizzicato 5 seems to have died out quite a lot. Reminds me of grunge and ska here in America. Both genres died out in the early 2000s. Most Japanese people I've talked to have at least heard of Blue Hearts though.

[@Nijidesu]

YASSSS all the Sandaime and Exile fans!! I listen to a lot of Exile Tribe groups songs (The Rampage, Generations, Sandaime JSB, Exile The Second, etc), E-Girls, One Ok Rock and Da-iCE. LDH artists are so damn talented I cannot

[@PhoenixSplash]

Shiina Ringo makes some of the greatest music ive ever heard.

[@pollutedmindmusic]

I can't believe a japanese male who was probably in his 30's or 40's ACTUALLY said justin bieber. I died on the inside when he said that.

[@xAA7]

He's got some bangers tbf

[@ThatJapaneseManYuta]

I think a lot of hate comes from his personality, fan base, and positioning. If you only listen to his music without knowing the context, there's little reason to hate him.

[@XeviousD]

Babymetal is still popular, but my all time favorite J-Rock band is Asian Kung-Fu Generation.

[@Songovstorms15]

Me too, and Flow/Maximun the Hormone

[@1000π]

I love you but you shouldn't really label AKFG as j-rock to differentiate it from foreign alt rock. It's all alt rock to me. Ajikan is japanese alt rock

[@mane771000]

Was hoping Babymetal or SG would get mentioned, but at least the group Sumetal's sister is in did so I'm happy =)

[@tessachan9795]

Waaah Japanese people have a so ecletical taste of music. I like kpop and Jrock/Jpop (I like more Jmusic) The Gazette, X JAPAN, Larc en ciel, NAMIE AMURO, Utada Hikaru, Sexy Zone, AAA and others artists... I think Japan/korea have a LOT of great artists ^^ (I'm from Brazil)

[@kuripivt]

[@deoritaedsonia7822]

Glad you didn't have me as the interviewer, since I would start fangirling with those who said Exile or Sandaime 😂

[@lolol8221]

Same with me xD

[@rihopytsep]

I'm happy that at least 1 person said back number.

[@okumurax8839]

I love Kenshi Yonezu. I like drawing sketches of him as I listen to his songs.

[@TakoyaKyono]

Not one person mentioned The Mad Capsule Markets? I thought they were meant to have been really big in Japan before they went on hiatus? Heck, their bass player Takeshi Ueda produced Gimme Chocolate and Awadama Fever for Babymetal (also nobody mentioned Babymetal). Am I just old and jaded now? :(

[@rvymvn]

Yuta, could you go around Japan and show the various accents there are !?

[@ThatJapaneseManYuta]

I'd love to if someone sponsored me :)

[@kakibackup2koujo612]

That Japanese Man Yuta can you ask japanese people what they think about visual kei and why they think it isint Popular anymore?

[@rvymvn]

Simmekakibackup2 Koujo ???

[@GreenFlame44]

Amazarashi is great.

[@WXD-xf6bd]

My fav japanese bands are Ajikan, amazarashi & CöShuNie

[@jnana1985]

The awkward moment when Yuta is told "Your Japanese is good"...I burst out laughing...But Seriously I am very surprised when Japanese people get confused by the looks of other Japanese...I am sure Yuta is 100% Japanese..

[@ThatJapaneseManYuta]

I am but I guess I wasn't really 'acting Japanese' so they weren't sure.

[@jnana1985]

The lady said "You didn't look Japanese"..But it's interesting when you say you weren't really acting Japanese..I wonder what you mean by that..Asking people about what kind of music they like is not Japanese behavior??

[@aogsnw]

I think wearing T-shirt + rucksack also had an influence on her thought of Yuta not being Japanese

[@destinyDeo10]

Waiting for Aimer... Dissapoint.

[@judgeroybean3843]

Band-Maid!!! The Goddesses of Rock.

Walking around Shibs he should have got someone that liked them.

[@user46421]

Are they popular in Japan?

[@megalondonkleuter]

Judge Roy Bean finally someone! you really "Don 't let me down" :3

[@supereasterbunny3707]

I thought I would've had to look for this comment for hours (due to Band-Maid's unpopularity), but no.... it was the fourth comment I saw x)))

[@GoliathGTX]

I think they are bigger hits internationally than local.

[@MarcosKunBass]

YUTA HABLA ESPAÑOL this is like a revelation for me, tottemo umai

JrockSubs okay we get that you don't like it but if you have nothing good to than don't say it her.

[@sunnyexo-l]

When I heard a girl saying "TT" I immediately thought about TT song by Twice but she meant Taylor t ... 😂

[@sunnyexo-l]
