Japanese Guy reacts to Eurovision 2021 

What's his IG?

Nao, you have excellent taste ;-) cheers from italy; thank you both for the entertaining video!

Thank you for the great and fun video. And it didn’t hurt that Nao is very cute

Nao is totally adorable. MORE videos with him! ☺️

Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure 2019 and 2020 were the only contests in recent years where we didn't have a single Rock song.

@@lucasgoncalves7774 It was a joke.

@M1sh4M _ Industrial =/= Rock, and Georgia 2020 was *barely* Electronic Rock if anything it sounded much more like Alternative Dance, it's still the closest thing we had of a Rock song in that year but still technically not Rock.

It was 3, don't forget Portugal.

I expect a surge of them next year though.

Never enough... never never

🤣

and i’m living for it 🥰

Me, a brit: what, you guys get points?

Me from Spain: what is a "point"?

You all will get alot of points and get to host again in the upcoming years. I'm certain of it. 🖖

@@MarionTheCurious thank you very much for your optimism, but I think it will take a while until this happens XD

Last time germany won was I believe in 2010 with Satellite by Lena Meier Landrut or however you spell her name

Oooooh.... and I thought I was sooo smart!!

@@alexandrumic I would just like to add that the reason is exactly what Davide told you but the fact remains that White strips can reasonably be part of Maneskin's musical tastes. Just as I think there can be Nirvana, REM, System of a Dawn and many others, maybe even the Quenn mentioned by the Japanese friend. Usually a musician devours music with the same voracity with which an intellectual reads books :)

Ho fatto lo stesso commento senza scorrere prima gli altri commenti, che scema 😅

It started from Italy but now it's also a football chant in France ^^ Italy's Eurovision win over France was somehow *less* mired in controversy than the football one

@@sandrogattorno4962 As an Australian I'm still pissed off how you guys cheated to beat us at that World Cup! Grrrr

We are growing!!!! The mission is working!!

@@alexandrumic and after the stageing for Ukraine I am convinced that Kateryna is definetly in our pantheon. We always get a lot of Queens, this year we also got a goddess.🙏🏻

If I remember correctly Kateryna was dressed as a pegan god Shum, god of forests that brings spring.

Still hope you'll decide against it. Shum is drug in itself, isn't it? Love from Ukraine

So when are you coming over? ;-b

Same

@@BramLastname Tomorrow, im too busy eating s u g a r

@@emilybennett6211 nice, I'll make sure to go by the coffee shop before then

they deserved it :D

Also, petition for him to react to Russia 2016 some time.

Wasn't it the British guy? I could be mistaken tho-

@@pooferss6056 no. James wrote other famous songs but not sweet but psycho

@@evangeliar.7600 Oh okay, thanks for clearing it up!

Yes, thats true, he was one of the songwriters.

Yep, here is video with Ava Max: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Y4R9LBswIiQ.html

The French song is sad but at the same time it's hopeful for me

@@lea-la-reveuse the lyrics aren't sad at all, maybe the melody is a bit

That's why @alexandrumic looks at the camera smiling lol

I listened to Jeangu Macrooys albums on Spotify all the evening yesterday. Sooo good! I loved his entry.

The song was just outshined by the rest.

We got a few points! It’s just a meme now and a broccoli song

Yeah, the singers really deserved better!

Over and over.... And over.

@@redreliever ahahah exactly! 😂

Ja ja jalousyyyyyyy

Yeah. The most boring song ever

:D That part symbolizes her losing her mind.

I actually liked our song! Now I feel like I have to hide in shame for admitting that 😂 It’s just so fun, even though it’s admittedly not a masterpiece or musically sound 😙

I’m from Sweden, and I liked it. It was a fun song, and the message is important. Idk, I found it kinda cute and Jendrik seems like such a nice guy

We have not been this ashamed sincr 1945

American here, so my opinion doesn't count, but I thought it was a fun song! Very silly, yes but good humored. Plus the "annoying" necklace killed me

I voted for it

Yayy un compatriote !

@@lea-la-reveuse Yayyy!

I was so excited for the reaction to Finland but it never came😢

Дякую :) ['djаkuju]! I mean, thank you. And I voted for Maneskin. It seems Ukraine loved them VERY MUCH, since we gave Maneskin max/max -12/12. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Luckily Maneskin and Go_A seem to like each other too. There are cute videos of them rocking out to each other songs.

I'm from Denmark and I voted only for Italy and Ukraine 😍🤗

As a Dane is still wonder how Italian's would pronounce the Danish word for chiaro di luna (måneskin) But ukraine was great and so was Italy

Italian too and I voted for Portugal, Spain and would've wanted to give Tix as well, but got refused.

So Moldovian thing😏 To know romanian,english,ukranian and russian(maybe) 🤣

@@nicolaecretu6638 don't forget Belarusian :з

'Dyakuyu' if you transliterate it into the Latin alphabet. Very similar to Polish 'Dziękuję'. Thank you in Dutch = Dank u wel.

Multumesc ? Is that some translation of esc ? Multi umi ESC or something similar ? (Haha sorry just guessing 🤷🏻‍♀️😅)

@@JadedKate No, mulțumesc means thank you in Romanian

It totally sounded like the soundtrack of Ghost in the Shell

@@thrice1987 yes

But, he said he didn’t like EDM, and he still liked Ukraine. Although, if I’m being technical, Shum isn’t EDM, it’s trance:)

not exactly a national anthem. More like a song of triumph, whenever we win something. And it's most common in Rome (Maneskin are from Rome).

@@pirimpallopirimpalli4932 it is here too - the Netherlands

@@TeeTeeAO I think back in the day somebody told me that we got it from you guys. It was some game between Roma and ... a Dutch team, I guess. Or Belgian (who might have got it from you?). I'm not sure. It dates back to about 2005, just in time for our world cup.

France and Switzerland both had the same haircut

I will say Italy was my favorite and wanted them to win.. but the 47 seem very very unfair...

@@alexandrumic I wouldn't say unfair I would rather say very unexpected.

It was good song, but its kinda the same type of performance in general as Netta Toy. So it wasn't anything new on Eurovision stage. And this year was a lot songs about women power... And I liked Russian song more, just beacause that was something new...

I'm from the UK - count yourself lucky :-)

I think the running order and the amount of other memorable songs had a lot to do with it. Like for example, I was watching the semifinals and finals fresh, didn't know the songs beforehand, and I kinda already had my favourites picked when I saw Malta, so it didn't stay in my head like it could if I saw it stand alone.

there was 'Asia Bagus' before (quite a long time ago) well.. not really as big or comparable to Eurovision. it's more of a singing competition. so not so many original songs. there were weekly competition. and then there's the grandprix

I heard that's it's not happening

I hope they actually include all of asia In this and not just china,japan and S.korea😑😂

I can confirm that SBS the broadcaster who shows Eurovision every year down here in Australia was in charge of trying to make 'Asiavision' happen but after 6 years of trying to get it off the ground it's sadly been scrapped as there's far too many hurdles to overcome. Maybe in the future it might happen but for the time being it's a no

Asian countries' relations to each other are even more strained that European ones, so I'm not surprised it got scrapped.

I kept wondering if what he was singing was sorta "creole" dutch because it really did sound like it, so i'm glad i wasn't wrong and I'm even more glad it has such a meaning behind

It was a "tasty" choice from them because we sang that song after winning against France in 2006, and they won against France at the Eurovision XD And the drugs accusation came from France journalist as well. So, really well done!

I know I am and I already feel sad for when I will leave the island!!

@@alexandrumic I bet but looks like your mission to convert people to the magic of Eurovision is going great! Keep up the good work! 😀

You're the best! thank you !! and wish you a great morning.... says me getting ready for dinner :))))

I wonder which one is the trash in this...

@Zia Ul'adli Al Afghani are you serious??????? I suggest you to watch the official music video! This song has embedded so deep personal emotions.... TIX opens up his true life experience, makes himself vulnerable and you call it trash??? You might not like it, but calling it trash is crossing all borders.

@Zia Ul'adli Al Afghani ok, sorry, didn't know the background! 😉

Suriname isn't part of the Netherlands since 1976. The singer just has Surinamese background, as many people in the Netherlands do (just like you can find many people with roots from Pakistan in the UK, many people with roots from Senegal in France or many people with roots from Ecuador in Spain).

@@ivanmacgar6447 yeah sorry, you are correct, I got confused with the islands that are semi-independent. I should have looked into it further.

And show him the music video of Norway! That is a piece of art! 👌

You are so kind

it starts at 4 am

alexandrumic Ah, so one hour before the Australians have to get up to watch it. Makes sense, that would have been my rough estimate. 😉

..obvious,what were they even thinking..cringe and corny oveload..ÅBENLYSENDE..fuldstænding ind og ud plat og så bare uforståeligt,sprogmæssigt, for flertallet.....lol...

@@emilatik8581 jeg synes netop at den mega bøvede og cheesy firser vibe gjorde den komisk og jeg har intet imod at andre ikke forstår hvad de synger. Jeg synes det er rart og underholdende at høre flere deltagere synge på eget sprog :)

@@JuleJette Og det også fair at du da enige med de kiksede og (ubetydelige) vibes den gav sig,og derved kom den af den grund alene ikke videre til finalen og da slet gik hen og vandt og da hellereikke en too 3 eller top 5 eller top 10 eller 5 fordel sags skyld sang..åbenlysende og skæbnens var da også ligeledes det den fik for disse ovenstående grunde .Da var da bedre bøvede/chessy(tænker det islandske,Lithuaske,etc....det.tyske er det some.det danske de skulle.ikke.emgamg.have kommet.videre..but,whatta you know..lol..the biggest and founding players are ruling it all,whether we like or not ..) ,andetsprog (særligt dette års fransk syngende sange ,særligt det sweiziske,og lidt det spanske )og langt mere underholdende da gav en smule mere mening og var lidt mere kvalietspræget og mere professionelt og unikt og ikke kliché artigt gjort..by far a margin..Da den vandt MGP i år tænkte (af mystiske og muligvis pensionerede menneskers smags grunde) at vi var allerede på forhånd doomed til ikke gang komme videre til noget som helst lige efterfølgende.De var såmænd da endda VIRKELIG heldig, at den alene vandt det danske melodi Grand Prix..no offense,gurl,men nah.Der fik du en lille realistisk og næsten gennemarbejdet analyse her ...Goodie, så fik vi lige det på plads engang ..😌👍🌈

I think the US would have a ball as well, but I think it would be a bit difficult with all the different timed zones and also renaming Eurovision and making the song just as catchy.

@@sailspo the US is getting their own version if I'm not mistaken. With all the states competing, but idk if that's still a thing🤣

Agreed!

So true! He is soooo cute! I could easily fall in love

I actually will trim down version for a few countries and Malta is 100% one of them ;) he was so into it... and seeing the disappointment on a Eurovision Virgin's face... is priceless :))

I'd be definitely in favor of Japan trying out to be in the EBU one, tho; if they like it or not etc; for sure it takes a lot of patience since it's very difficult to win and it's not automatic that your music that you might love so much is also understood by other - and sometimes it's frustrating; but - maybe because it exists a "parallel Sanremo" (with very different rules) in Japan too - called Kohaku Uta Gassen - I definitely see them fit somehow.

@@hlb979 As much as I love Japanese culture, I don't think it would be right to add them in. It's still Eurovision, and adding in too many other countries from other continents would ruin the point/identity of the contest a little and would also make it a lot more difficult to organise. Australia being a part of it is quirky enough already. I still hope it's possible to get an Asian-Oceanic version some day. Adding in countries from just about anywhere might also make it harder for people to take it seriously.

It would be better having countries from North and South America rather than US states, it would be more diverse. We latins would bring the party!

@@jorgejuarez946 I totally agree that it being between the 50 US States is a bit weird and a lost opportunity. Who knows, maybe there will be a version like that some day.

There would be absolutely no point in the American Eurovision. All the states are the same, each one speaks the same language and has basically the same culture. It would just be a boring battle between average pop songs
