Life in Tokyo: Vlog #34 Ken Tanaka meets TokyoCooney

[cholemax]

why is there spanish music in the background!

[teamer89]

Ajuaaaaaaa arriva mi apa y mi ama! @3:00

[zabetheli90]

I watched your videos up to this point without even realizing that I hadn't subscribed yet........I just subscribed :P

[mjbdisaster]

"tokyo cuisene wa", what? "maashoko daijobu desuka" what?

[evianonly]

i think i'll subscribe~!

[Silverwood1985]

Ken tanaka is fake so you met a false person wich is fkn akward.....

[macdaddy2601]

Very inappropriate music played...........but I like

[shiroirobin]

Ken Tanaka's face and hair at 2:39 LMAO hahahhahahhaha

[NihonAustinjin]

I think I just saw an iReport by Ken Tanka on CNN

[thisismystoneraccoun]

holy fuck he speaks better japanese than me

[savagejeans]

dude its so weird to hear a white guy with a genuinely japanese accent. it also proves that they are raised with that nasal sound to their voice. pretty trippy but awesome.

[Dzongka]

@savagejeans He wasn't actually raised in Japan. It's just an act; his name is David Ury. But I'm stating the obvious here...

[debswildhoney]

The mexican music is such a nice touch, my friends.

[Solison]

Why do you put the name of every song on all the other videos, but not this one?

[nikandnana]

I like that dig about you liking Japanese food. 'ya ya ya ya, oh sure ya, ah, I love Japanese food, like ah, Yoshinoya, and ah, ya, Ya, and er, sushi, ya...' haha the typical person who 'likes' Japanese food but can't say anything beyond Yoshinoya and sushi.

[nikandnana]

Cooney, Ken and .. a cockcroach, in Tokyo. Brilliant. That said, just have to mention that Cooney gets better and better with each vid but somehow Ken becomes more and more irritating...

[MiKovers]

HAHAHA dude i love how you made Ken speak english even though you could fully understand him :P

[MrOmniblast]

@MiKovers

You mean Ken's mother tongue? =] Isn't difficult to speak the language you grew up speaking...English is his first language. ^_~

[boy4everjoy]

nice vid but too weird <.< first u 2 holding cameras and filming each other was funny but weird xD then watching a white dude have the accent of a japanese guy talking english weird too but funny hehe, then mexican music while wacthing a japanese vid while talking in english very cool but weird too lol

[Level84]

So when this video was taken, did Cooney not speak japanese very well?

[gangster301]

@Level84 He did, but It can be hard to switch between 2 languages like that, especially with the same person. This is because you don't know what you should be listening for, japanese or english.

[dreamchaser171]

lol!!! that looks incredibly awkward...

[TheLastRainyDay]

helpmefindparents, well, that's certainly original. I'd acually seen one of his videos before I found your channel, it was under the name of something along the lines of "how to speak japanese" i was kind of confused as to why a white guy sounded japanese, infact i actually though he might have been faking. guess i was wrong.

[PeterTheOstrich]

Fucking weeaboos.

[Rab1975bit]

Is he like a Borat type of comedian?

[Mika151]

hookers and blow, YES :D

[chamorugirl]

lol i knew he was a fake when he started speaking in Japanese (the words he was using was: "Are you okay?" in Japanese) then he translated it in English as "You can eat Japanese food"....wow...his real name is: David Ury...look him up :]

[7ShinL]

Yes he is an actor, that much I've confirmed from all these comments but I don't see anything wrong with what he said. =/ he didn't just say "Daijoubu desu ka?" but "TokyoCooney-san, washoku daijobu desu ka?" which after looking up washoku, I found out the sentence would be something like "Are you ok with Japanese food." So the sentence and the translation seems to match. That's what my very limited Japanese knowledge tells me anyway.

[Mantrousers]

I saw him in an episode of Heroes.

[QuilavaKing]

@chamorugirl That's so weird... I can't wrap my mind around this. lol

[chamorugirl]

lolz I just googled him and he is an actor (thnx

reeeeenei )

[TheAlexisTVShow]

lol on the end of ken tanaka's video Kevin walks in an XXX store lmao!! or at least it had 3 giant X's on the door..

[reeeeenei]

Ken Tanaka is an actor, he's name is David Ury, search it up

[reeeeenei]

hahahahahahahahahahhaha that dude's white, he's last name's even Smith but he's like a hundred % pure japanese person haha weeeeeerd but not that weird, kinda just like my story

[lilstu20]

Very Weird Guy That Tanaka. I'm Very Sure He Isn't Japanese In The Slightist

[jakemonrean]

@lilstu20 Trust me, he is. It was hard for me to believe at first too, hehe. You should watch his videos.

[TeddyBearWithSexHair]

You should've taken for ice cream city, maybe snuck him some squid ice cream xD

[MurdocLC]

Did u know he was a lier Kevin!? :o Please awnser.

[RaveSnoreThrong]

Was that friend in the video the guy in the Akiba video who wanted a pink camera?

[TenthPrestege]

That Ken guy must be acting

[Linkous12]

He is. But don't tell anyone.

[jengkiesville]

he didn't realize he was adopted? lol

maybe he thought it was white mutation from Japanese parent

[junjitokyo16]

wats da name of the spanish music?

[LH075382]

i see that you're uncomfortable receiving compliments lol

[djduelkeentokers]

"hookers and Blow right?" hahahahahahaha

[jwu12000]

kinda awkward...

[anthony01355]

woooow that guy was sooo weird and creepy..I had a similar first impression of Kevin..but just.. and then that guy yeah no

[RizingBlackSun]

"Check out Ken's vids

They are surreal to say the least."

Yea.......ain't that the truth. : )

[Parmenides480BC]

lol "hookers and blow right ken?... ya"

[Kisumaru100]

@Parmenides480BC  lol tear

[AnimeFreak4372]

...........................

[imdaman765]

Did Ken ever break charachter when you hung out with him? Since it's been "revealed" that he's a native English speaker born in the USA and his account is an act, I'm just wondering if he keeps it up even when meeting with others?

[scottychik17]

OMG the spanish song is so funny!! mr13gabo speaks the truth it does say i knew you as a tiny seed but now you have big melons! hahaha!!!

[Driliasphd]

Lol man thats so hillarious :D ahahah

[Kalignar]

"Hookers and blow, right Ken?"

I almost died of laughter :D

[tokyorose2008]

Omg - Ken's accent is spot on perfect, even his bad grammar and pronouncing "f" as an "h" - love it!

[miickeyszfresh08]

[mr13gabo]

[amyOfEgypt]

this is my first time to see a white person who cant talk english straight...odd but cute X3 kawaii =p

[deleonchristian]

[UreshiiWul]

Awesome !!

Hope he will !

[nenecitobebe]

Hahaha, never spect to hear Mexican greatest singer Antonio Aguilar in this vid men! VIva Mexico! si si si. U guys are awesome, thanx 4 ur vids, I leally enjoy it!

[wehrmanj]

I found it hilarious how they are both filming, it made it seem so weird, like a balancing act between who was filming what and who should look where, very fun.

[jsaulgodoy]

so funny when the mexican music goes off, and what do i see on the screen,,,,,,a cockroach HAHAHA

[thedoctor717]

[FelixTheHouseFreak]

He seemed nervous to meet up with him XD id be nervous too...

[Kringelbulle]

It was really cool seeing a white person white person with an asian voice XD

[jimmybrite]

it's funny to see Ken Tanaka being so humble that's what's bizarre in my opinion about him, because he's Caucasian, i'm used to seeing sarcasm and a bad attitude from most Caucasians (not always the case)

nihongo ga wakarimasu.

[diegosnet]

LOL I loved this, seriously, you have such a wide spectrum of music. I really respect that. I appreciate the Mexican music!

[kripazznigga211]

i started laughing because this is a very famouse song in mexico, in all honesty this is one of my parents favorite songs, lol.

[FelixTheHouseFreak]

I turned down the volume because i knew my parents would ask about it since they love it XD

[XxDoNkEy]

[platano214]

[boikimvideos]

Mexican music sux.

[anfield22]

tokyo cooney, you are very handsome

[fullmetalfunk]

"Hookers and blow." lol.

[fullmetalfunk]

Probably one of the more awkard "Life in Tokyo" vlogs. lol. Is this Ken Tanaka guy for real. Or is it like a hoax or something? If he is telling the truth I hope he finds his parents.

[SumiCho]

ken is a weirdooooo. wtf mann

[kfhlasfuoqwbfap]

omg. listening to a white guy speak English with a Japanese accent is soooo weird

[Bratcipheo]

jep

[DavePerry2012]

"I found out I'm adopted" Heh heh..shades of Steve Martin. XD

No offense...Ken's cool. I hope he finds his folks.

[tsO831]

HAHA:D Ken Tanaka...he is awesome!

[hungrymunster]

lol, just two guys standing there filming each other hahaha, must of looked weird to the people who were walking by.

[SumiCho]

i no srsly-___-;;

[Aanidaani]

This Ken guy really freaks me out. I feel bad for Kevin...

[6663000]

Is that guy for real? lol

[enyajustice]

i watched Ken Tanaka's version of your meeting and saw this comment.

sarahlyon25:

woot! Tokyo Cooney is HOOOOOT ^_^

Thought you'd like to know :D

[heyheycaitlin]

OMG I love Ken Tanaka!

HAHA!

[lonewolfgirl]

Ken looks like fatbastard from austin powers, but less fat.

[00Sonic]

Wow, it seems like there's tons to do and tons of places to go to in Tokyo. Makes me wish I lived Tokyo.

[newclips]

not being mean but... Tenaka looks like Larry Fine...

[luc444]

WHAT HAPPENS AT 2:36 to Ken's Hair!!!

[donmoobie]

LOL @ hookers and blow

[NipponNights]

LOL, I just met Ken on Sunday. I have no idea if he is real or not though, cuz we only spoke in Japanese. Watching this and seeing him try to speak in English is just painful O_o

[NipponNights]

nevermind, just found his imdb *headdesk*

[1755TOT1783]

ken's real name is david ury - i think he has lost his mind though

[herz501]

Tanaka seems to be a good person.

[OhMySavy]

He has crazy hair. Plus, when I see his face I really don't expect his voice to come out. Weird.

[RMWill]

It sounds so much better when he speaks Japanese. Its amazing hearing that accent, very interesting...

[dionel80]

all i have to say is wooow?!

[veiss8801]

Hahahahaha kens video is hilarious. "hookers and blow" haha you shoulda left that in.

[alev182]

Tanaka-san is freaking weird man

[arby22207]

Is his guy for real or he's faking?

[kilala101]

omg!! the music...wow it took me off gaurd wow i was crying from laughter and also if you pay attention on they are saying as well(the song) anyway it was funny XD

[kdimouni]

that was a bit akward..

[happybois]

its strange to see this pasty guy all japanese but i think he'd be weird in any culture

[RynAndRae]

yeah...really.

he kinda scares me. not really the kind of person i'd want to run into in a dark alleyway. and the japanese accent doesn't really fit on him.

to be honest, when this vid showed a clip of tanaka introducing himself, i thought it was a joke. or he was faking.

i don't have anything against him, it's just different...

♥

[acousticdrewber83]

The look you give that ken guy at the end of the video is priceless. Every nice!

[aaronranmafan]

My lord Ken looks American o.o he even has the Accent *Good luck to ken =3*

[Ceadem]

"hookers and blow, right? yeh ken" lol...funny shit

[LiveToby]

[IzumiBrisingr]
