Asians are legit (and I'm white).

[xxchiyakixx]

I'm learning japanese myself and Mike's pronunciation is so awesom for an english speaker!!! Guess he hadn't much time to practice this but he really did a great job! I'm so touched cuz I can feel how hard he tried to let the japanese audience know that half of his body and soul is Japanese.

Love ya Mike

@XZeldaLoverX Yup Nippon means Japan in Nihongo (Japanese), Nihon is the alternate way of saying it.

[MrFacunla]

Subtitles please

[bellraff]

melhor de todos....

[MrRedMorrison]

@sietube2008 what about Native American?

[SamND1967]

This is what makes LP awesome...

Suporting something that's very important...

you don't see that gaga bitch and justin fag doing something like this...

[TheLinkinParkFanGirl]

@SamND1967 But what are they supporting? I understand him, but because English is my 2nd language, I'm not sure did I understand him right... He speaks very fast...

[SamND1967]

@TheLinkinParkFanGirl Their helping groups such as:

Live Earth: which is to help spread awareness about global climate change. American Forest: Which is to help protect forests from destruction.

and Music For Relief: Which is to help victims of natural disasters

So baiscaly, they help Charity Groups

Hope you could understand that.

What language do you speak?

[TheLinkinParkFanGirl]

@SamND1967 Thank you! :) Nice of you to tell me that! :) I understand it! :) I'm from Serbia (If you heard for that country). I speak Serbian XD XD. Thanks!

[SamND1967]

@TheLinkinParkFanGirl aww. your welcome! =)

[Ladylicios]

Iam half japanese too^^ and living in Japan since two years now and i didnt speak japanese until now lol and mike has NO idea how to speak japanese haha so cute :D

[VirtualNation]

Actually, the Japanese would be pleased to hear a foriegner try to speak their language. Had to go there on a business trip and could barely read a damn thing. Trust me, they appreciate my failing efforts.

[neomp5]

@VirtualNation

very generous of them. many cultures are insulted when people don't get their language right. i heard germany is bad for that. on the other hand, i've heard that russians are just grateful you tried.

[SamND1967]

Whats Japanese for: "Mike is the best!" ?

[lullemans72]

@SamND1967

mike wa saikou da

[SamND1967]

@lullemans72 Thank you friend! lol

[lullemans72]

@SamND1967

you're welcome buddy

[MrNoobtrainer]

男はこの男は過去最高のようなものです！

[DutchiSRiPPiN]

can somebody translate this? :D

[Dovemagician]

@DutchiSRiPPiN  roughly it mean thanks for listening today

[mihsathe]

That guy is actually half japanese right?

[callmetricia]

@mihsathe - Yep! But like most halfwhite, half japanese people he doesn't speak great Japanese.

[LinkinParkKanenite]

@mihsathe Yeah his father is Japanese

[tanoki1]

Pretty bad. The Japanese must have been gritting their teeth through this. The thing is, the Japanese in general have a pretty low tolerance for foreigners speaking Japanese. They must like this guy. Still, they probably wouldn't listen to more than just a couple minutes or so.

[WaffleCake04]

@tanoki1 actually, it's the opposite. They love that people try to understand their language, and even if it's bad, most Japanese people truly appreciate that someone would take the time to understand their culture and language.

[Luvbug89470]

aaahhh! what a cutie!!!!

[CovieHuman55]

OMG, Go Mike !!!

Linkin Park is fucking awesome !!!

[Nanysa3]

Wow

go Mike ::D

[emperatrisottaku]

ay dios m orgasme q con esto q genialll

[develia]

i think this really shows how awesome Mike is that even though he barely knows the language, he still got notes and tried to speak even though a non Japanese and a non American (actually i'm indian) like me can easily tell he has american accent all the way through whatever he speaks. But he really tried, and he could even have made a complete fool of himself if he mispronounced or said something wrong, but he has the guts to go and speak all for the love of his fans. That's what makes him great

[saznrai]

@develia He is mainly japanese. he just entered america with his father when he was small. like that...

[JayduncRocknRoll]

@saznrai hes half japanese, he was born in america, it was his grandparents and grandmother the moved to america during WW2

[neomp5]

@JayduncRocknRoll

much earlier than world war 2. in the song "kenji", mike's father says "my father came from japan in 1905. he was 15 when he immigrated from japan". world war 2 wasn't until 1939, the united states diddn't become involved until '41. that means he was living there for 36 years before being locked up as an "enemy"

[akash0001000]

@saznrai nope he was born in los angeles i think. check it out on wikipedia or summit.

[neomp5]

@saznrai

nope. he's mixed japanese/russian, both his parents are american born.

[aurangxaib]

@develia fuck you indian faggot stay in your gay indian dont try to fucking put ur filthy ass in everything

[devilmaycry6789]

[bushgbh]

[Apoorv12345ify]

@develia You are right! I too am Indian. But isnt it great to know a language that you don't know? He's legend!!!!!

[youxfail]

[gnarkill1524]
