[gamerpuppeteer]

they werent really drag queens. Its a gameshow where they try to turn guys into girls that look alot like girls. Theres also human tetris, hot water, hole in the wall, ninja warrior, and about 5 other unique game shows.

[NikeBoy2031]

lol japan its like an anime world xD

[kujiki]

that man so cool!

[Maeikatk]

hahah! I have veggy's! and I hate plane rice! (although I will eat it if theres butter on it.) Chicken is my liiiiiiife! (lol)

[ExpressionOfMe]

Im pretty sure hes saying "plain rice"

[Maeikatk]

Plain or Plane, it really does not matter, when you read it out loud (or to yourself in your head) It SAYS the same thing. Its stupid that English needs 2-3 words for the same WORD.

[danniphilia]

Don't be silly.

Here's an example

"I was in the plane when the plane arrived, and I was plane shocked."

Does that make any sense to you? Seriously think about it...

How confusing would it be to read a book, when all the words sound the same. You wouldn't know wether you're saying you were standing on a plain field or inside an airplane.

And for your information, plain and plane are pronounced slightly differently.

[Maeikatk]

meep I lost what I was saying... if i was in first grade and read this

"I was in the plane when the plane arrived, and I was plane shocked." I might be confused but, I think any older person would get what your sentence said.

[GraceRox16]

pissed? hahah lol. i agree with you on this.

[gamerpuppeteer]

plain and plane are not the same word. There pronounced the same, but mean something else, and spelled differently.

[animeguy587]

2011 baby thats when im goin so buya 2 more years

[drckalex]

Hi Tom hears a question which is the title of the background song when you enter the metro

[syakujiidai]

多分（maybe....）

group:KICK THE CAN CREW

title:marche

[leojosc]

Could you speak, read any japanese before you first went out to Japan?

[AnimeJenetika]

I do believe the program he was in required 2 years previous experience or so.

[xBK110x]

Pretty sure I remember him saying he only had 9 months of experience, but they let him through because he was so obsessed with going there. xD

[oihjammu]

what kind of people from finland???

[vampieregirl499]

the dancer looks realy kool but freaky. and it looks like you had tons of fun there

[nyappys]

i dont you have any harajuku videos?

[wrx2002subaru]

the tv certainly is freaky i remember seeing a show where high school aged girls where judging the boys that looked the best as girls and all so acted like girls the best didn't seem to have any real point apart from dressing boys as girls for there amusement.

[winxsixtie]

the guy is freaky

[Necromanation]

i feel like i experience japan while watching his vids O_o..

[TaishoTears]

Was the first song done by Rip Slyme?

[sk8freak9889]

please don't leave japan because your videos are so awesome!

[xxxAznBanditsxxx]

what was the yo-yo anime called?

[RedPhoenix230]

i love your vids! keep them coming!

[arwen0greenleaf]

I know what you meant when you said you were surprised you made friends. I have the same thing. I always go somewhere and am doubtful that i will make any friends, but i end up being wrong. I think it has to do with low self-esteem

[amelianightingale16]

when that guy was dancing in the street, the man in the background was like "oh nothing new there, just another silly man dancing"

[superjonney23]

[Ryuxx15]

WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN CRAZY GOTH PEOPLE !!! OKay for one Harajuku isnint goth maybe the people with the Loica Harajuku style look like od victorian dolls, but Harajuku is way better than American and Birtish styles b/c they are uniqe all the americans are fucking blone clones! ... exucse me anger sorry bt uhh Harajuku district is one of the best fashion icons for fun creative and happy people!

[asdq123rafew]

its true that their unique, but they are influenced by america and britian, all their styles have have elements of them in it.

most styles in japan are sub cultures of a style originated in US and england but this does not mean they arnt unique or great even US and britan had influence.

[coolstuff2003ad]

The guy on the sun-rise tour of kyoto said to the bus that 'japan takes onboard foreign influences but retains it's own culture still.' they're 5 years ahead of the rest of duh world. When I went over there in 1999, they had color/video cell phones...

[theosthebest]

the same way that the styles in USA belong to them in that they are american even though they have outside influence, many things in the world are the same but yeah japan is way ahead in technology.

[reddri123]

EARTHQUAKE LOL :P

[koreannese]
