Takashi is such a down to earth kinda dude. I feel like he would be the type of guy where you could probably talk about anything and won’t get bored because you learn something.

Takashii has to be the most chill, down to earth, Japanese youtuber. It shows in his interviews, but this video shows just how likable the guy is. Glad to see a crossover of the chillest people in Japan right now. You guys almost look like life-long friends 🥲

Used to seeing Takashii listening to people talk but it’s cool to hear him talk like he’s hanging out with you.

This is a cross over I didn't know I wanted to see.

Just two brothers from different mothers talkin

I'm black and have been to Japan four times, most recently in March in Osaka. Each time we went, we've been treated very well and have had people come up to us to help with directions (I studied Japanese and can read it pretty well, speak it so-so, but I still accept their help because I like interacting and appreciate the kindness). During Sakura festival in 2019, we went to Ueno Park, and sat down in the grass after buying food and some Asahi, and this group of Japanese..maybe upper 20's to mid 30's, invited us to sit with them and we were there for hours eating, drinking, laughing..one of my favorite memories in Japan. Anytime we went to the bar, we had conversations with a local sitting next to us. I do find the people are more open in Osaka than anywhere else, but everywhere is awesome.

This was a great watch. Two intelligent young men from different parts of the world engaging in great conversations.

yall just walked past one of the only legit taco carts in Japan. That dude is from Mexico and his tacos and salsa are LEGIT. Everyone should try La Cabina in this back part of Shibuya near the finnish gin bar.

The collab we KNEW we needed to happen.

The collab I didn't know I needed BEJ and Takashii for Japan!!!

I am Jamaican. I would love to visit Japan. Glad I found your channel because I really want to know what it’s like there but from someone who understand the country I come from. And Takashi is awesome love his channel too

As a black guy that’s been to Japan I guess I must be lucky because I never once experienced any racism the entire month I was there I was only blessed to have positive experiences which I thank God for

Hate is such a strong word. I have lived in Okinawa for over 17 years and I observed certain locals see us in a negative way but I also see how other local see us in a positive way. Me and my family are completely American and we continue to learn and grow into the Okinawa lifestyle. We absolutely love Japan.

I’m so glad you two got together, I love both of your channels

Guys this crossover walkthrought is gold for people like us who want to come in Japan .

enjoyed this so much. just returned from 3 week trip to Japan and it is without a doubt my new favorite place to visit, and ive been all over the world. seeing you two walk the streets around Shibuya and eating noodles in a quiet local spot made me miss these experiences that we had as well. we have nothing but positive things to say about every place we visited. cities and people have different vibes, but the one common thread between them all was a common courtesy and kindness. can't wait to go back

The way you explained the cultural appropriation is exactly the way i agree with it also. When I was a kid in the 80s, Black Americans were in love with Ninjas, Kungfu/Shaw Brothers/Hong Kong movies and myself as a kid I'd walk around in either Chinese style shoes or Japanese Tabi shoes. I used study Japanese Kanji from library books. I studied Shaolin Kungfu and achieved a black belt in Shotokan Karate. I had a good friend, whose mother was Okinawan (and dad Black American) and I would torture his mother with questions about Japan lol. To us Chinese and Japanese cultural was so cool. I see now, that Hip hop culture(which is a combo of Black American, West Indian and Puerto Rican) culture from originally from NYC is becoming the same in Asia and world wide. Initially i would be upset and think it was more like appropriation, but then i had to think about how i grew as an African American kid in the 80's...same thing. 😁

You guys are a perfect duo for discussing the Japanese experience for non-japanese.

I love Japanese people. They treated me well when I was an exchange student in the mid-90s.
