[towert7]

[kennsie8]

oh i was wondering what the eye lid stiking out tongue thing is this kid at my class did that hes not japanese but he did that and i didnt know what it meant he told me to go to google so here iam!! :P btw im not japanese either

[gumbitha]

Bah, I was talking to YoungAkiHito, not the video poster.

[kalcaron]

It's not body language, it's gestures.

[Seleuce]

And what are gestures different than body language?

[nasigorenggg]

haha, yeah on the come here part, my cousin did that when i was there, and i thought she meant like go away so i stood there for like 5 minutes figuring out what she wanted

[SplitGums]

Weaboo.

[arashiinochi]

Umm... I'm Japanese, and I tend to point with my index finger...^^

and the middle finger in Japan is the same use as in the US and/or it could mean "die" lol. xD

[YoungAkiHito]

For a "Japanese" you type fluent English. I suspect you're Japanese-AMERICAN. Try again.

[arashiinochi]

Me speak fluent English has nothing to do with me being Japanese. And I actually don't speak fluent English. I need more work on it. But the only reason I know so much English is because I've lived in the US for a few years. But as I am 100% Japanese and have lived in Japan for most of my life, I'm thinking I can count myself a "Japanese".

[arashiinochi]

sorry, **speaking

[Lailani2000]

1:34 that means "NO" in Japan its not "check pls". Alot of people that I met in Japan "X" their fingers if they want to say NO.

[Kayohshin]

@Lailani2000 And they say "dame desu" when they cross theyr fingers.

[nadim776]

Thanks its really helping you did a great job.I am shure it will help me in my trip there !!!

[StormWolf01]

Very informative. I am very interested in japan, but i didn't know a lot of the gestures you showed.

[always2bfaithful]

You know, you look a lot like LisaNova. Good informative video. Thanks

[iMisaProduction]

I do most of those gestures but I'm not from Japan. XD I guess it's a habit among Asians. (I'm Asian) XD

[KawiiDeathNote]

some of that is really interesting, thanks :3

[Naoyuki126]

Thanks! I'm going during summer and I think this sorta stuff is important to know.

[Inufreak991]

I have to see if my Sensei knows all of this! : D If she doesn't, I'll probably tell her to teach it. I think it would be very interesting in my Japanese class. Thanks!

[madisoned]

very interesting. I've seen all of these body languages before but I had no idea about the middle finger one!

[RavenNight2641]

... the whole part with pulling down your eyes and sticking out your tong... i do that when I'm being mean... so its probably not just over there^_^

[ricnatri]

Thanks a lot

This will be really useful in my class

[laoshapigou]

cool...got it

[LeafDaughterofAuron]

This was indeed very fascinating and helpful! Thanks so much, I feel much more enlightened.

[blackberrybunny]

Now that was fascinating! This is just the type of info I'd been hoping to find on YouTube. Your video was SO interesting! I just learned about 7 new gestures! Thank you so much for sharing. I've gotta go look and see what else you have as far as videos go. THANK YOU!! Please please make more videos like this---I want to learn more about Japanese culture such as this. Totally fascinating.

[liyt100]

helpful...by the way.. you are a very attractive person.

[mlor023]

Fun :D

[FantaAbdul]

Thank you~ :)

[darkYT]

I find it fascinating that they have a body language for modesty, that's why I find them so nice =P

[fuzzmello]

I´m Colombian and alot of the Japanese body language is here (in Colombia, Bogota, where I live) I just found it very interesting, your report, thanx for the vid.

[MysteryLights]

really interesting!

[nooneno112]

intressting!!!

[ShutterBug717]

Cool...how did you or do you like Japan? I've been told the Japanese aren't very welcoming to foreigners...those who look white.

[tonybaba]

I love you

[ShantiIly]

HAHAHAHAH im flaging the video cause you fliped me of LOL!!!! jk

[siarane]

I like it

[raypainter]

I have a question, what about shuffling feet? I worked in an international lab where all the Japanese shuffled their feet. One day, one of them made a terrible mistake and the director was very mad at him. This person, I noticed, stopped shuffling their feet for about a month.... Strange. Do you know anything about that?

[TyraW2686]

I don't sorry.

I never noticed feet shuffling, unless they were wearing a kimono.

[IkkyBooger]

I still use rock, paper, scissors all the time 'cuz I never carry coinage.

[lovefun2]

No just bitter!

[lombax94]

hey cool vid!! :D

[lombax94]

you~~~ have problems

[Ileric]

Sory but you are so sexy

[EarthaKit2]

Tell us more - it's interestig. Tell what is taboo and what is sacred. Ex. in a cook show, Bob Flay vs. a well-known Jpns chef - at the end of the show, Flay got on the table stepping on a cutting board, with his hands over his head - like a sportsman, as a sign that he persevered. The Jpns chef felt it was an insult - because in Jpn. cooking utensils are considered sacred. Stepping on the cutting board was a taboo.

So what's taboo and what's sacred in daily life?

Thanks.

[Boushkana]

This is so good! I've been researching for informative videos like this for awhile, this will really help me! XD

[mercurytears]

wow..that was very informative...thank you so much for posting!!...I'll be leaving to japan in 2 months, so thanks again!

[RainyUmbrella]

Oh! Useful and funny! I had no idea even adults would do janken pon :3

A very nice video.

One question: why do people hide their thumbs when they see a funeral car and why do their thumbs represent their parents? I don't really get that part.

[IC3SK83RL4DY]

NICE! ^__^

[cephah]

Great video! I just stumbled upon it and even though I don't care particularly about the Japanese culture, I was somehow enthralled to watch the whole thing :-)

[TyraW2686]

:) I'm glad

[spiderkiss]

ohayo! genki desuka? david desu. i forget but to signal "boyfriend" is either a thumb or pinky, and vice versa for girlfriend. could you check that for me? thanks.

[mashigari]

That's so cool and very useful

Thanks Tyra for this great video!

[Xeferah]

I'm loving it :) It's so obvious and if you see it happening you probably know what they mean, but it's good to know what you should do yourself when you need some bodylanguage.

[ednigga]

Thanks

[babyblueeyes66]

ahhh thats soo kool!!

[superloaf69]

When my kids (in the future) are fighting over something i will make them jan ken for it... it solves so many fights.

ONE LOVE
