[gvi341984]

What type of microphone are you using?

[gameraiman15]

in Daiso did u manage to find "LAME sticker set" ??

yes it was written LAME

[therealdefpunk]

Zweisamkeit. I forgot about something. A german video game mag interviewed two japanese game producer. The interviewer asked them why they used a german name for it and if they know the meaning. Of course they did know the meaning (let's never "no") and used it because it sounds cool. The name of the game was Einhänder (one-hand used sword). It's a shooter.

[zJeweLs]

lol I love such vids of urs!! 

[SZ19891993]

3:11 hey that's a MITSUBISHI pencil :D

[SZ19891993]

0:53 It's not just a clipboard...it's THE CLIPBOARD!

[ILolAtYourDemise]

Rubbing...I lost the game.

[AnemicChia]

I like the whistle that is very suits for sports !! Although I really can't laugh, since my Japanese is almost non-existent.

[gertie2u2]

I think they might mean polypropylene with the "PP". Are you just wandering around the 100 yen shop making this?

[LeafySuburb]

Animall

[KendrasPhilosophies]

those pencils are specifically drawing pencils :) the pencils used for school work and writing are #2 pencils or also known as HB. They are a specific hardness... There's a whole grade of pencils from like 8B to 6H with the perfect middle grade as HB. So what they are attempting to say is that TECHNICALLY those are drawing pencils, but I guess you COULD use it for anything like writing or drafting lol.....

[DensetsuShonen]

0:40 Pedobear is everywhere O_O!!

[firtvid20chronical]

SPON-GEE-BOB!

[Nemesis093781]

Thank you for the video.

[animelvr510]

lol @ the last one xD

[flamegreen]

Lol no "let's"?? I love these videos thank you for always making them and sharing them with the rest of us!

[CognitiveNetwork]

Pencil for all purposes. Perhaps they mean writing and sketching/drawing. Artists use special pencils.

[jr2nd]

years ago i my local shop had a chocolate drink called bonki lol

[Marron222]

The word "Zweisamkeit" means Togetherness... Uhm.. weird??

[BCGilly3]

Memo is short for memorandum

[MrO420o]

mmmmmm ruler for your memo? mmmmmm

[MrO420o]

mmm very suits...

[marcodarwin]

I don't really understand why they use so much English..I mean nobody there really understands what it means and they of course have their own language..what's the purpose on that?

[Jarzyniak]

@marcodarwin

Watch the whole playlist, he's already explained that several times. It's about sort of "western" image of company, English makes ads look cooler,

[DollFacePookie]

it doesnt make much sense to us, but it probably makes more sense to them, their sentence structure and they way they say things is different

[FHomeBrew]

The PP is short for the chemical composition I think. Like PT or PU bags if I remember correctly. At least, that's something that's printed on our plastic bags sometimes. So maybe PP is for poly-propane(?) I don't know. Could be.

[michaelXXLF]

@FHomeBrew polypropylene

[blow230]

Daiso!!! We have one of those here! :D

[mrpelon1000]

Thanks dude very informative..if I ever go to Japan can I hook up with you n chill?

[Jimaera]

Lol...

[FiredEmpire]

I think you misunderstand some stuff.the memorisation set is not for memo. it's got green/red pens, green/red sheet films inside as you can see.first you write something you want to memorise with the green/red pen on a sheet of paper. then cover it with the green/red film and the words you wrote disappear.A lot of students use this in their tests season in japan.and the unnecessary "The" was just a kinda brand name of the 100 yen store( Daiso) like "Air" of Nike. but I know it's still strange!

[myanime101]

great video i was in a funk today but nothing is better than some hilarious japanglish thanks

[JeremyScottThompson]

you missed a trick with the memorisation - its not referring to a memo...they come with a red and green pen and red and green plastic - you write in black pen, then highlight with the red or green, then use the opposite colour plastic which blacks out everything... its used to hide the text to memorise, you then remove the plastic sheet to check - SO, the english is correct... they use the same method in many study books - i use it for japanese study

[JeremyScottThompson]

[evildwarf]

Translator's note: kawaii means cute.

[TheFunnyCartoon]

what part of japan are you in? plz reply back.

[AnalogerTyp]

Is there a (gangster) rap scene in japan?

[SGTBizarro]

I love a hardcore sponge :)

[s3xyScorp]

I use pencils to stab people!! (jk)

[kort82]

memo is for memorandum, isn't it?

[TheMadPoppet]

These always crack me up. I often wonder why Japanese companies don't hire a native speaker to help their phrases make sense after translation.

[tsuchikarasu2]

happy sunday!!

[PeircedinBlood]

Your Australian accent makes the video more interesting to watch! :3

[Midnightryder7]

I would use the pencil to rewind my cassetes

[sitruc3000]

i wonder have u ever seen any Engl-anese? where english people are using kanji out of context and in weird ways?

[obscure741]

hilarious man pls more vids

[JRichardYoung]

I use a Superfluous "The" all the time!

[tylerdugray]

are the free hock's free?

[Bleakfacts]

Can I ride in the Mitsu-Bishi penci?

[chargerfryar]

It could just be me,but....I think they're getting better. Maybe somebody at the Dept of Commerce is having your site watched, lol.

[DrownedBeliefs]

0:36

The katakana seems to read フリーフック or furii fukku

Free fuck?

[obscure741]

@DrownedBeliefs true its free fuck

[Gwendolinh]

@DrownedBeliefs フ isn't really pronounced Foo though, it's more like really soft H sound Hoo. Fuck would be Fakku, but would probably still sound not strong enough unless the japanese person knew to stress the F sound more.

[DrownedBeliefs]

@Gwendolinh

Kind of. It sort of varies in different contexts, like ん can be an 'n' sound in 'han', but it is usually represented as an 'm' in 'shimbun'. 'Fu' is more like blowing air out and it would be rare for the 'hu' sound to be so pronounced. I reckon it would sound like 'furee fukku' if a Japanese person was saying it quickly. I don't know, really, but a funny thought nontheless.

[agentjfk]

It's so funny how they use English for "decoration" purposes only. No one will be able to figure out what any of it means anyways....^_^

[SakuraAvalonBleac25]

LOVE IT !!! Have a happy new year :DD

[MochiMegan]

Great vid.

[Sik15]

lol, a PP bag for your length. teehee

[DrunkenSamurai18]

ur voice in this video sounds like it belongs as a narrative voice in pbs kids shows.

[ZeldaMudkipz]

Memo=Memorandum so I don't know where the memorization was coming from

[oscarscheepstra]

Could you make a video about japanese jails, maybe?

[Germanalien84]

hahaha, Zweisamkeit!!! ^^

[astralrock]

What a fantastic animall

and

Kawaii Goods!

Hahahaha, great episode!

[violansky]

Lengthwise long! Hilarious!

[MissDiorette16]

LOOL!!

Happy Wednesday guys!

[NekoTengu]

Well, it's not Japanglish, but I was in an American grocery yesterday and I saw some English and French being combined badly "Sans Gluten Free" on a box in the baking isle. "Without Gluten Free". Strange how I've started looking for stuff like that... lol So would that be Franglish or something?

[navigar666]

@NekoTengu i guess... bad combination indeed. that or it was done in purpose of marketing in canada? :) maybe i should consider a career in translation for merchandise.

[navigar666]

3:04 "règle pour apprendre par coeur" under "ruler for memorization" is french

which is funny because in french the word règle means rule and rulER. we have a lot of rules in french grammar and in my school we used to have these "règles d'apprentissage" which are learning rules if you would... they were designed to help us memorize the lot of it... well i find it funny. anyone?

i also find it quite interesting that somehow a lot of other languages are used in japan. japan-glish > jap-latin?

[HoshigamiRaiku]

Ha,ha, japa-glish always made my day xDDD

[riplearaelothian]

They say for memorisation for things used for studying...like tools for memorisation, tools for studying(of the memorisation variety) haha

[shinobijikininki]

Nah, 'memo' comes from 'memorandum', meaning 'to be remembered things'... so memorization is a bit weird. Guess Latin GCSE was handy after all!

[ramsien]

The Video enjoying for happiness!

[GaroesTheLamp]

Have you made a video without you saying " Hey guys " in  ? X)

[Kumomoto]

You can put that 'enpitsu' on top of one of your ears and look...Like a boss! ;D

[haversman]

I would to find a Japanese shirt that the Japanese counterpart to a Japan-glish shirt. That's be so awesome! All my English-speaking friends wouldn't suspect it's just random words xD

Thanks for the video!

[TheLifePerfect]

That last one was amazing.

[whoo689]

I'll take 1 Safety Case, 1 Ecology PP Bag, 1 Pen Set for Memorization, and 1 Rubbing

[kingdomofthenight]

Have you/can you do a video on Japanese stationary?

[haversman]

@kingdomofthenight Good idea! Maybe even stop into a museum maybe, abnd show off some old stuff as well as the new! Br~illiant! :D

[PungPhooie]

@kingdomofthenight protip: pencils are the same everywhere

[kingdomofthenight]

@PungPhooie Japan has the best stationary. Everyone knows that. It's so cute.

[Namaechan]

Yay! Japanglish for my birthday <3 Now to forget the fact that I'm turning 21... For goodness sake, i watch My little Pony: friendship is magic! This age shouldn't be happening to me -.-

[whoo689]

Since when is a pair of scissors "cute"?

[PaperDragon3OO]

Japan-glish is always so cuuuute ^-^ but hey, their English is MUCH better than my Japanese lol i only know like 5 words

[222JAdb]

[MrUlutraman]

i am jealous of their stationary

[VinnytotheK]

don't you realize that they mean that it's THE jump rope! As in THE original xD lol

[Kepahl]

Memorandum: There was nothing wrong with the use of 'the' in those product names. A name can be anything.... I'd prefer to buy the 'the' over an 'a' any day.

[BurlesqueKitty]

These always make me crack up! =D

[OtakuBeauty]
