Walking Into Japan's Most Feared Yakuza Slum ( 

Yoo

Japan! I'm so prepared for this!

Awesome amigo! What a nice surprise! Japan!...I like how you cover unique, different sides to every country you go to...And you speak Japanese too!!! Wow

Yes!!

The strong dollar allows you to go Japan for half price of what it was a few years ago. So stay awhile you jew.

That’s because they have a code.

I heard they are incredibly racist towards foreigners.

@@boiiofboii6736actually it’s because they don’t discriminate many Korean-Japanese ended up as Yakuza

Some are very racist towards foreigners and some aren’t. I’ve met some who are really nice and seen the super right wing trucks that go around blasting super racist and awful messages, mostly towards Koreans. On the whole, it’s a decent country, and very safe. I’ve gone through the Osaka “hood/slum” places, Kanagawa ones, Saitama, but mostly Tokyo. I’ve been to the nicer areas too, of course, but I’ve been to the not so great areas, and talked to a lot of people. I’ve met kinda batshit people, walked past yakuza offices, seen cult people galore, etc. He likely met many more yakuza than he realized, just from watching his videos. 😂 They have a very strict code of: “don’t eff around, and you won’t find out”. Outsiders are outsiders, but one thing he said is super true: Osaka on the whole has the nicest and most cheerful population. Very open and friendly. Definitely wouldn’t whip a camera out near a known yakuza controlled area. They also have cameras all around their buildings. They see it all. Source: lived here 20 years, mostly in the Kanto area, around Tokyo. I also feel 100% safe walking around places like Kabukicho, hoods/slums, etc here.

Reminds me that Tokyo is the only place where I've handed my DSLR camera to a punk rocker with mohawk so he could take photo of me with group of other punk rockers. Wouldn't do that anywhere else.

and it was worth it. peace dudeeee.

PEACE DUDE

Peace homie

PEACEEEEEEE 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

lmaoo i liked the video at that exact moment then checked comments

10000%

A classic old style vlog

Try Tokyo lens aswell he’s not that bad

@@kingtvt973 cool! Thanks

Great point! ❤

Definitely, i dont understand what they are saying most of the time but i like their vibe lol

Actually…. That group was together and he joined them. So the group allowed and brought him in. It’s amazing that a group of people could make ONE stranger feel like family. Instead of giving him the side eye and asking him to leave your group alone like most would in my country. Recently in my country you could get attacked from behind for just being Asian.

x1000% I've had interactions with Japanese locals just like this, and simply being curious and trying to speak any phrase that I have learned does wonders in building rapport.

@@matsci5130 even worse because it makes 2 so called free countries shitty for a stranger, or asians. im in the US

@@nomaschalupas2453 no one is attacking Asians in America bruh.

Used to be called charisma lol. Superpower¿

@@BlueZirnitra right lol "superpower" is wild

More like eloquent charismatic carismática 😇😇😇😇😇😇😇

it's a beautiful country , but full of superficial people who fool foreigners. i don't understand its locals, they allow themselves to criticize foreigners they doesn't know , but when we criticize them they do mind about it. over the years i have seen so much of stupid comments left by some japânese , they literally annoy people who has their right to leave negative comments and saying the truth about their culture. they defend their compatriots but they don't recognize their numerous cultural flaws . they ask us to SpEaK JaPaNesE , but what if we speak it poorly? not anyone has the courage to learn it during decades. some says we must get to know them so they can correct us our japanese , BUT HOW can WE do that?! especially if they refuse to share their feeling and showing us their personality , to always behave like automatons? i have enough of these nonsensical replies and these excessive mysteries, i wants answers said reasonably and honestly!

It’s sad that normal socialising is considered a superpower

we have no good reason to go in your country.

Thank you for that insight...

i am honestly disgusted about how they are in Japan. i learned they wouldn't help foreigners if they get starved or get homesick, but when they loose objects or look lost , they force still themselves to help them. They don't mind being discriminative , but they still mind being criticized about it. Pathetic. Many Japanese told me "we're sorry if we're like that, but we hope you'il still enjoy our culture" but i have no reason ! Especially if they refuse to show their natural side and prefer to impose us their mechanical side and their systematical shyness! They wouldn't forgive badly spoken japanese! Good reason to strongly dislike them!

I bet the most dangerous thing there is getting slammed by a sack of rice

@@Spacedawg879 You're talking about china.

I live in Japan. The most dangerous place in Japan is 1000% safer than any late night diner in the US.

Yeah Japan is statistically one of the safest countries in the planet. Even the majority of Yakuza clans have moved into legal business now.

@@xVongolaXth nah, its a common scene in Asia. Each adult Asian-born people you know are 100% got an accident with a sack of rice

Just start talking to people, what’s the worst that will happen by speaking to a stranger?

Me too, and I live in very social country ,Thailand.I could not do what he did due to my social anxiety.

The guy at the store knew exactly what finger u could use to apply the pressure 😭😂😂😂

@@wilsondassumpcao2089 yes you could. You believe you can't, that's the only thing thats stopping you. Slowly rewrite your brain. Don't take the easy road

Stop beating yr junk and social anxiety will be minimized

What an incredible Bad Video, sorry to say that but i could Not believe it. Zero Input

japanese just use foreigners as wallets or dictionnary

⁠@@maegalroammis6020You’d be in for a shock when you discover taxes and GLOBAL tourism industry

What

Best way to learn Japanese imo

@@gundamux83 best way to learn any language. Live in a country with a foreign language for a year and you'll learn much faster than if you took a class. It's especially good if you study and also live in an area with a language you don't speak. I really want to learn a second language. Practiced Spanish for a while and then just forgot about practicing it.

Only happens if you're white...

@@excalibro8365 yeah that happens almost everywhere, whites have a good reputation behaving themselves around the world. There is expections but anyway.

Most JNs went out of there way to practice their English when I lived there for almost 15 years.

Blacks are not represented there

People always hyping up japan as this superior gangland 😂. The most amount of crime you’ll see here is like a shoplifting

And the thing is, small cities in America will record more murders than the entire country of Japan will

Well that's because the US sucks Especially big city's But hey i guess thats what happens when any random idiot can get his hands on guns 24/7

America is obsolete.

Only took America destroying their culture and oppressing them for it to happen

Respect to you three🇯🇵🇰🇷🇺🇲. Greetings from 🇸🇪

🙄

koreans are naive.

koreans have that arrogance

Me too I leaving to go on the 8th of june

@@AidenParker Aye good luck on your trip!!

Hey, how was your trip? Assuming you went or are currently there?

@@kingdoge69 yeah I’m here currently made it yesterday so far it’s been pretty cool

@@AidenParker oh nice, did you travel from the US or Europe? Any Japan travel tips so far?

Beautifully said!

Lol course it's beer. Why do you think people drink for, it allows them to open up and be more "loose". Even sexually.. surprise surprise /s

Alcohol allows Japanese people to lower their inhibitions because it provides an excuse for a more natural, less controlled behavior on their part. I shared drinks with many of them while stationed out of Sasebo and taking even a small sip of beer or whiskey gave them an opportunity to blame any ill or uncontrolled behavior on the booze. Inviting them out for drinks is a great way of becoming friends in Japan. Also, Japanese women really enjoy being treated to ice cream.

He's just a wildcard. Locals in a bar get bored of each other after a while and run out of stuff to talk about. A fresh face with an outgoing personality will bring much needed life to the situation.

I used to this all the time when living in Japan, it's so easy and I miss it a lot. I'm from Australia and you just don't see that here.

Really feels like you've actually been there. Like I know where the Don Quijote is and everything lmao.

Ditto

Been binging the games and as soon as i saw the double bridge I knew where he was

Those games are the best series of all time IMO; have them all, even the first 2 on PS2

I also instantly recognized the bridge in the first Yakuza Majima plot

You're right. In my area in Japan as I mentioned about talking about them, you can walk around that neighborhood at night and not much of anything will happen; especially if you're a foreigner. As I also said, they just stick to themselves. The scary and violent setting that the media and documentaries are promoting really is just hype. I know because I've lived in the area for about 20 years. Nothing really happens with the locals.

What about compared to other parts of Japan?

White people forget that your a foreigner were ever you go. It might be safe but you have to be respectful of their culture. If this did get robbed he would act shocked like what you expect when your looking for trouble for clout. And your right he wouldn't survive walking around watts or Chicago doing this.

@@lilgreen12 there’s legit like 1 robbing a year in Japan bro. Pickpocketing on the other hand

@@yungjamez312 yeah you have to be on your guard no matter what. It's probably because I'm from California but still crazy people are everywhere my friend got jumped in korea which is supposed to be a calm place.

lol. Japan is arguably, the safest country in the world.

Yes im amazed how this guy speaks just about every major language in the world and he learns it in a matter of a month or so (based on travel duration)

@Flower7 Japanese people can be rather introverted at times, as they would rather not interact with foreigners. As they like to mind their own business, and not being into others. Tends to lead to hikikomori.

Japanese women have blurry vaginas, but seem to be friendly...

@@z-z-z-z Underrated comment 😂😂😂

@@gytisk6998 He doesn't speak about every major language, knowing few words/sentences you learn before you go to a place is not knowing the language. You have to remember this is his job. He isn't clocking into 9-5 while doing this on the side.

It's videos like this where you can see the difference between real and fake

othing of genuine.

hes straight up rude or ignorant lol

Pretty rude if you ask me. This is Asia not america

@@nurtbmtv I don't understand, he wasn't intending to be disrespectful, just curious. He cut off the conversation after he noticed her laugh and mentioned it directly after in the video. If he continued prying and asking and being invasive, that would be ignorant or rude.

@@vermiculus3848 It's considered rude in Asian culture, like if a person walk in a random black neighborhood in the US and suddenly you ask them, is this place dangerous? Are there any Bloods offices nearby?

@@8SugarRayRobinson8 you just gave an example of how you would see it to be offensive, interpretation is subjective based on cultural norms and societal implications and one persons/countries way of conversing might be different. But I'd argue that he recognized his mistake and corrected himself ASAP. I understand that it could've came off that way and was rude but he noticed it and addressed it. This doesn't make him a horrible person or a RU-vidr not worth watching, it makes him a human that made a mistake...

his japanese level is probably at around n5- n4

@@lyhthegreat He can interact thats all thats matters

@@lyhthegreat facts mfs act like he’s fluent

@@MariNate1016 wouldn't say he's acting but his command of the language is definitely rudimentary.

Africa has many cultures it isn’t just one.

Africa? What kind of culture is that supposed to be??

Gotta absorb other countries culture since he's American, they basically don't have one lmao.

@@strandkorbst9643 I don't think they meant anything by that. Probably don't know another way to express themselves.

​@@strandkorbst9643 stealing probably

Yo you kidding me - you in NYC - the world is right there. Wanna go to Korea, go to parts of Queens, wanna go to South America, go to Junction Blvd and Roosevelt Ave, in Queens, Wanna visit Guyana or India go to Richmond Hill again Queens, Russia/Ukraine Brighton Beach, Brooklyn. The world, its people and its food are right at your doorstep.

@@polygonkilla I'm sorry but going to those places is nothing like visiting the countries itself. You can't compare Korea to parts of Queens.

@@xensensei Yes thats obvious but, if you cant afford to go to all these places - these neighborhoods are the next best thing.

From Flushing too, man: born Flushing Hospital!

Buy a plane ticket and go somewhere - not even Canada is very far away!

Just Japan is not completely flooded with (northern) african "refugees" that just come to rob the place and abuse the social system. And any place in Japan is way safer as Sweden is in general.... Even areas where there is Yakuza located you can walk around without feeling unsafe at all.

Definitely. You open up even more when you're drunk on the streets of Copenhagen, lol

@@scottvermeulen7805 oh, grow up.

And in Poland :)

I wish it were like that in the west instead of having to smile at everyone. It is not natural.

How is it?

thais and japanese aren't good to socialize.

I’m gunna Spank u harder than my nan spanks her nan

“They don’t murder unless they need to.” Bro can’t tell you how much relief i feel rn 🫱🏻😮‍💨

After a few beers people begin to let down their inhibitions. I travel by myself and the best way to meet people is to do what he did here; go to a bar. After a beer or two my shyness disappears and I can strike up a conversation with the person next to me.

The Japan youth and younger generations in general are so fun and inviting and friendly! The night life is top tier!

Osaka is a very friendly city. Being a foreigner helps too.

This is a cultural thing in Japan. I forgot the words, but you have your public personality and your private personality in Japan. When you go to the bar you can be more yourself so people need a place to let loose other than just at home or friends houses.

I was looking for this comment

@@mushy_biscuit sameeeee ive literally been looking for this comment too lmao

​@@RaidenDragonClaw I'll take you 😊

Yes indeed, for a slum! Actually the standard of Japanese slums is more or less equivalent to the level of the most developed and well kept urban area in China.

right? it looks better than many urban neighborhoods in US cities lol
