Hey! I'm Maria! You seem really kind and I would love to be friends! I wanted a penpal due to the fact that I'm learning Japanese but I'm still in a very premature stage so if you'd like to teach me your language and your culture feel free to add me and send me a message!
I would love to be penpals with you. I've never been to Japan but I am very intrigued by the culture, and with having new friends. You seem very nice and would be fun to talk to. I hope to hear from you. I would love to learn more Japanese. :)
If you are still looking penpal I wud like to be your penpal. I love Japanese country and launguage. I live in finland and Im seaking penpal realy badly. Reply if your interested.( I'm girl).

But I don't hawe enough money that I cud come to Japan. :'(
Very well made honest video, I plan to move to Japan, I speak pretty well Japanese, but I can't write in Japanese kanji or symbols. I want to teach English in Japan. I do hope to meet you, you seem very pleasant.
I know how you feel... I am learning Japanese and there are Japanese students at my school and I even got to met a few, and i want to practice my Japanese, but I was too shy...
You probably hear this a lot, but you speak English really well! I am 19, I live in the U.S. in Louisiana, and have been trying to teach myself Japanese for nearly 7 years now, but I'm still not very confident. I would like to talk with you online sometime if possible. =)

I understand you dude, I feel the same emotion when thinking to talk with people from other cultures. Even so, it's easy for me since my country have 16% of immigration population and more than the half of my friends are foreign. The pity is that I fancy North Europeans or Japanese (that's why I'm here) and they aren't..
Well, I would like to meet u, but you need for someone near and I live in Europe.
Anyway, like to know that also Japanese wish to make friends! ^-^

@iconsword Maybe I was a samurai in my before life. It'd be cool if I was. Well, if you make a nice video of your self introduction with sword showing, I'd love to promote you on my page. Please do it!

Hi Kouhei! My name is Joe from California. I was a history and geography teacher, but now I work for a bank. I will be staying in Shinjuku with a friend of mine in May, 2011. Let me know if you would like to practice your English and we can go have food and/or beer.
@JPjul7Kh Hello there! Yes! I have been learning enough Japanese to ask basic questions and get around in a taxi. Before my friend and I leave for Japan on May 3, I will send you a message with my Shinjuku hotel information. If you have time you can call us at the hotel and we can meet for food and you can practice your English while helping me with my Japanese. We will be in Tokyo May 4-9, and again 15-17.
@joebenevides I couldn't send you a massege, so I'm copying it on here.
Well, I don't really need to "practice" my English though, it still will be good, I think, to meet you.
But please understand that I can't meet somebody whom I don't know well about. We haven't know each other long yet. But even though we are like completely strangers to each other, only meeting wouldn't be bad.
the way of the sword is a lost legend in todays world,i truely come from the past,the old ways are best,simple and true by my count.the cannon and the muskkit bought an end to great times and the begining to the end of time itself,as one man i keep the spirit of the sword alive thru hardship of missunderstanding.the sword is more than just a long sharp blade.it protects the weak when the strong is wrong,upholds honor and gives hope to the hopeless,swordsman are born from the sword truely hector.
@iconsword Yeah, sadly it seems so. I like old things too. Sometimes, things of old style are much better than the new styles of them. You seem to be a very cool person who has a great spirit.
Hey, I am interested in your swordmanship! If possible, can you record some pracrice of sword that you do?
my thoughts exactly,i wrote 3.books,1.poetry,2nd the samuri knight,3.rd the elflord.the words might not change the world,but they will surely entertain the mind.did i mention i am a teacher of swordsmanship?when you love the sword,you become the sword,my quest was to keep the spirit of the sword alive,nyc.was the wrong place to start,i will go to asia,only a sponsor can help me there,my story here is at a end,my story out there is yet to begin,i hope we get to meet,the swordsman hector.
@iconsword Oh you are a teacher of swordsmanship? So you control swords? Very cool. You must have a great minds as you control swords and create your own works!
HI I'm Brinah and I love Japanese cultures and the people. I've been fascinated with Japan since i was 17 and I love it! I would love to be friends with you! Nice to meet you! Add me if you like! :)

@iconsword Hi Hector. Cool name. Thanks for the comment.
It sounds nice you want to come to Japan and publish your work! Oh,,million dollar project? Sounds wonderful. I'd like to help you if you need, but you don't need to pay.
And....I don't understand the last part.
Anyway, I'm happy to hear someone wanting to make his dream come true in Japan. So, if you give me enough info, I'll try to help you find sponsors. Let's make you famous!
My name is well lets just say Cookie haha I love japan and its my dream to come there and live there I speak little japanese and I understand some japanese as well I LOVE ANIME AND RPGS!!
@CookieTacoYummy Hello somebody, or Cookie. A yummy name. I like it. I'm happy to hear that you love Japan. I'm personally not interested in anime and RPG though.
@CookieTacoYummy Are you serious? Do you really think ever Japanese likes anime...? If you do, you should change that opinion. It's not at all.
I think most Japanese people have some exerience of watching anime (like when they were child. e.g. most people born in 70's were watching a certain anime, 80's for another, and so on). My father was not a fan of anime, but his childhood was a period of Gundom, I guess.
Hi there Kouhei, I'm Amber. ~ : ) I live in America and go to highschool in the midwestern region of the states. :3 I stumbled upon your videos a little while ago, and I really admire your want to meet with people from other cultures just as much as I do!! Even though so many people have already said this, I just wanted to let you know that I'm here if you have any sort of questions about English or the American culture please ask and that I'm here and I hope we can be friends! : D
@AnimeSpazz2234 Hi. Thanks for your comment, and it's nice to meet you Amber. I'm happy you watched my videos and like them! Thank you for yoir kind offer. And I can do something for you as well. Yes, let's be friends :)
Hello Kouhei!! My name is Diana and I live in US. I can speak english and spanish and I'm interested in Japanese culture and language. I've watched some of your videos and you seem like a very interesting person. I feel the same way you feel when you hear people speaking english and you want to talk to them but you feel shy. When I hear someone talking japanese I feel like talking to them too and I understand a little but i'm shy.
@diana03 Hello Diana. Thanks for the comment! Nice to hear from there.
I'm happy to hear you say that :D
I believe fewer people speak Japanese than English, so when you next see Japanese people speaking, please talk to them for me! They will be glad to hear you speak to them in Japanese, even if your Japanese is not so great. Believe in yourself, and just go!
Yeah dude i get the same feeling idk why but i just wanna talk to ppl from other places ~it gets my attention like hard core...im mexican/american so im not like foreign awesome or anything lol. =^.^=
@JPjul7Kh lol okay ill try that but im also really shy and quiet with strangers so it'll be weird but ill give it a try :) ~hey dude was it hard to learn English?~ and do you think it'd be hard to learn Japanese? oh and your like a big help so thanks =^.^=
@JPjul7Kh me too! i live in america and im so fascitnated with Japanese culture ! i wanna live there some day. I love there culture I think its the best ! western cultures dont really catch my eye but i love eastern cultures and Japanese is my favorite !
@CMEM1 I'm happy to hear that! Probably we can share thoughts and cultural differences! Thanks for watching my videos. I'll be making interesting videos for you.
@JPjul7Kh Sweet ? i have some questions about some Japanese vocab and culture. Im a teenager so i kinda know the latest in American pop culture and stuff ... like how the schools are, whats the government like etc. so you have any questions about America and whats it like ? Or perhaps about the english languege ? ( By the way I usually type grammatically incorrect on the computer but my grammer skills are good, OR if theres any British on hear, they might be better lol
@JPjul7Kh OH and in addition I can tell you what the latest music hear in America is. I can tell you whats the latests. Do's and donts etc ! Domo arigato, thank you !
コウヘイさんの英語は上手です！普通の英語話せる日本人よりペラペラだと思います。実は私もそういう病気がありますよ。日本人を見ると一緒に話したくなります（アメリカ人ですからコウヘイさんの場合の反対です）。今日本に住んでいませんので私が合えないですが、I hope you find some friends to chat with ：D
If I made a video like this I would look pathetic, but it works for you. I am working toward teaching English in japan. I am in America at the moment. If you wish to get to know me more, don't hesitate to send a message. ^_^
Hi, my name is Flor , 17 yrs old Im from Mexico I love japanese people you guys are so cool. I want to learn everything about Japan! Im traying to learn in some websites about how to talk, write and things like that but its kind of hard :/ I even watch shows,music videos to learn. Im really friendly you dont have to be shy with me :] im a good friend hopefully you and me become good friends and hopefully you can help me have some japanese friends too! im so happy i found this video!!!!!!
Next time, just say hello to them. There's no need to be nervous - you'll probably never see them again so it doesn't matter if you make a mistake. I promise you it'll get easier each time. Go for it!
konnichiwa...ano..watashi wa nihonjin sukoshi hanasemasu.... we can become friends and communicate in japanese that way i can learn faster ^^' and we can learn about each others culture! i been looking for a japanese friend who can help me improve my japanese and to teach each other about our culture message me if your interested...ja ne!

im a Norwegian boy, im 18 years old and im very inntrested in japanese kulture and languege, i cant speak japanese but loved to lern it. and i really want a japanese friend so i can learn more about japanese culture and ways of living :)
@fluberg88 Wow. You love Japan and want to learn Japanese? That's so great. Hopefully I can help you with anything I can. Please tell me if there is anything you'd like to know. As long as we can communicate in English, I can do with you.
Ooo, the Japanese dax flame! Very nice to meet you Mr. Kouhei. I'm VERY interested in learning about differences between languages and cultures, with a focus on Japan and other asian countries.
I'd love to make some Japanese friends but since I'm in high school myself I'd like to get in contact with high schoolers.. I subscribed though! :D Btw, I'm from The Netherlands （オランダ） ＾＾
@JPjul7Kh We are but men, ROCK, yaaaaaaaa haaaa walahahaha a aaaa Ooooooo Oooooo Hoooo Ooo ooo ooo this is not, the greatest song in the world, ooooo no this is just a tribute.
You know what? your English made me think that youw residing in America. Then when you mentioned your living in Tokyo... Damn!!! your English is really good!!! watashi wa Nihongo wo benkyou shiteimasu! but in not that good at it. really studying serious Japanese Language
You are a really cool person. I want to befriend someone from Japan! I plan on traveling there to study the culture and the language because I think everything about Japan is beautiful. Lets be friends okay :D
Hi Kouhei! I really like japanese culture, language and would like to make japanese friends. I would like also to learn japanese, I can teach you English or French if you want... Anyway, drop me an email!

Hi Kouhei! My name is Joe from California. I was a history and geography teacher, but now I work for a bank. I will be staying in Shinjuku with a friend of mine in May, 2011. Let me know if you would like to practice your English and we can go have food and/or beer.
Your English pronunciation is almost perfect!

@joebenevides Hello Joe, thanks for commenting! I'm sorry, I thought I had replied to you, but I didn't.
I'd appreciate it if we could share time for me practicing English or for you practicing Japanese, maybe.
Thanks!
JPjul7Kh 1 year ago
@JPjul7Kh Hello there! Yes! I have been learning enough Japanese to ask basic questions and get around in a taxi. Before my friend and I leave for Japan on May 3, I will send you a message with my Shinjuku hotel information. If you have time you can call us at the hotel and we can meet for food and you can practice your English while helping me with my Japanese. We will be in Tokyo May 4-9, and again 15-17.
joebenevides 1 year ago
@joebenevides I think we should talk in person. I will send you a message now.
JPjul7Kh 1 year ago
@joebenevides I couldn't send you a massege, so I'm copying it on here.
Well, I don't really need to "practice" my English though, it still will be good, I think, to meet you.
But please understand that I can't meet somebody whom I don't know well about. We haven't know each other long yet. But even though we are like completely strangers to each other, only meeting wouldn't be bad.
Anyway, we'll see. May is distant.

the way of the sword is a lost legend in todays world,i truely come from the past,the old ways are best,simple and true by my count.the cannon and the muskkit bought an end to great times and the begining to the end of time itself,as one man i keep the spirit of the sword alive thru hardship of missunderstanding.the sword is more than just a long sharp blade.it protects the weak when the strong is wrong,upholds honor and gives hope to the hopeless,swordsman are born from the sword truely hector.

@CookieTacoYummy Are you serious? Do you really think ever Japanese likes anime...? If you do, you should change that opinion. It's not at all.
I think most Japanese people have some exerience of watching anime (like when they were child. e.g. most people born in 70's were watching a certain anime, 80's for another, and so on). My father was not a fan of anime, but his childhood was a period of Gundom, I guess.

When I hear someone talking japanese I feel like talking to them too and I understand a little but i'm shy.
I hope we can feel friends ^_^

I believe fewer people speak Japanese than English, so when you next see Japanese people speaking, please talk to them for me! They will be glad to hear you speak to them in Japanese, even if your Japanese is not so great. Believe in yourself, and just go!
