The Tokyo Yamanote Halloween Train 2006 Montage Video

[RoninDave]

actually most of you ie japanese don't know about the train and/or don't care about it. Mountains out of molehills, eh, RDI?

[RoninDave]

nah, just wanted to win a bet with someone that an obsessive loser like yourself would check one of my videos that hasn't responded to in over 4 months. Hook, line, and sinker, sucker! Thanks! Oh, and get some professional help while you're at it.

[RoninDave]

damn, you're such an idiot! Do I need to space my words out so you can have time to read them?

I was referring to the fact that this vid had not been commented on for over 4 months ie low activity and yet you replied to my comment within a few hours showing that all you do is lurk around me and my vids. How sad is that? How old are you exactly?

Anyway, I knew when I put in RDI that as a moth to the flame you would respond and respond you did thus winning my bet for me. What a tool!

[RoninDave]

like a moth to the flame....

[dduk16]

Most of us are getting angry about such a disturbance. In Japan, being silent is usual manners in public trains. So, it is really ridiculous to make such a fuss and to trouble people in a train. The foreigners, especially white guys, must look down on us asians. I know they came to Japan to be looking for attention and to have a sense of their superiority here because most of them are LOSERS who are socially ignored in their countries. We don't need such stupid BAKA GAIJIN in Japan. Get out!

[yarufuguitar]

By the way, you're other videos are good, and I can see you have an appreciation for history and culture. Don't you think courtesy, politeness, 礼儀 and respect for each other was born out of continuous internal warfare upon many sacrifice? Easy to destroy but It's hard to build a polite society. That's all I've got to say, good-bye.

[yarufuguitar]

The reason I'm concerned is because at the end this kind of immature party train type of event demerits everyone, especially the locals who have to live with it and live with silly rules and regulations that come about later. Childish people think they have freedom but don't know the consequences and responsibilities. That's how the whole world leans towards an authoritative police state that governs the ignorant populace by rules and regulations finally restricting our freedom to the minimum.

[RoninDave]

at the end of the day this is mountain out of a molehill. This event has been going on for over 20 years. It is only thru the internet that you and the majority of the critics even heard about it. What you are feeling is faux-rage.

I say don't worry about it. You'll probably never encounter this event or be even remotely affected by it unlike Friday vomitry.

[yarufuguitar]

Faux-rage?? Are you God or something telling me what I am feeling?? Now that I understand that people like you, who can bluntly make statements like this have zero consideration for how others FEEL when encountering a large group of extremely rude and uncivil people in an enclosed public space. And I definitely worry more. Even if it is a molehill, it'S got to stop, and like cancer it's got to be treated early. 本当に止めていただきたいです。

[RoninDave]

Oh, please! You're killing me with your over-the-top reaction to something you never even heard about a week ago despite it's 20-year-long existence! If it were cancer Yamanote would have expired ages ago.

Seriously, take a chill pill and worry about more important things like global warming, overfishing, an increasing elderly population. Some drunk folks on a train one night a year for about an hour is hardly anything to get this worked up about all things considered.

[yarufuguitar]

I've known this event for years. I'm Japanese and been living here most of my life! Puking on the train is already enough, why do I have to bear more. All I'm saying is that we have to respect certain things like manners. I don't understand why you are defending something that is plainly rude and degenrating.

[yarufuguitar]

Yes, there are some salarymen who get out of hand, people who vomit on trains, and people who grope and commit crimes. But that's not the point.

[noreply909]

I would rather have a bunch of foreign people have a party next to me than have a whiskey-breathed salary man sexually molest me while everybody pretends not to notice.

[RoninDave]

truer words have never been spoken

[yarufuguitar]

Your past comments definitely promote it by saying how fun it is and how it'll continue in the future. I have never lived in kansai, so I don't know about the rowdy tigers fans, but I'm sure the locals will decide upon that. And also you can't dismiss the fact that there are avid Hanshin fans all over Japan who will rejoice over their victory, which gives them some legitimacy for being what they are in public once in a while as long as it doesn't get out of hand.

[yarufuguitar]

Well, you can start by stop promoting it with your vids. This kind of childish behaviour is unwanted on our public trains.

[RoninDave]

Who says I'm promoting it? I just was there and filmed it. I film a lot things. My last Halloween Train video was put up 7-8 months ago. I've had nearly 40 vids up since then and anyway there are other vids on this that way more views than mine. One has over 200,000 views. Why don't you bother them?

[RoninDave]

oh, and tell Hanshin tiger fans this too while you're at it. But both they and the Halloween Train are preferably to the usual Friday night vomiting from completely sloshed salarymen.

[yarufuguitar]

I am a Japanese national who use the Yamanote line frequently. It doesn't matter if your a foreigner or national. Please discontinue this event because it is a public nuisance.

[RoninDave]

It's not up to me, man. It's been going on since the 80s long before I got here and will continue long after you and I are gone.

Anyway, Yamanote is very frequent. If you see party train on a Saturday night around Halloween, just wait 5 minutes or less and another (non-party) train will arrive. and even the party train is only 2-3 cars long. Most of the train is party free so no problem. Also it's only once a year so the chances of you even encountering it are very, very unlikely.

[RDBAKA]

You know RD, I have been reading the comments you leave and you really are an arrogant little fuck aren't you? You make fun of these Japanese viewers english when you yourself can barely communicate NOR write in their language! LOL! Typical english teacher, after 6 years you still haven't learned a thing.

Tell you what baldy, shave your ass too and learn to walk backwards then maybe someone would give you some respect.

P.S Stay in Japan, we don't need dweebs like you back here in the states!

[RoninDave]

so roars a mighty sock puppet! LOL! Look, Youtube doesn't need anymore cowardly angry little sock puppets, my friend.

[RDBAKA]

So what are you doing on here wuss? Your response comments are like a broken record, you only repeat the same stuff over, can't come up with anything original?

The Japanese people may have trouble telling you to go fuck yourself in English but I sure don't. You are a hyprocrite, Profess to love Japan and it's culture yet you post these rude train videos.

WE are tired of your smart ass remarks on these videos and other peoples, why don't you piss off and give us all a break.

[RoninDave]

WE? Who is this WE you speak of? The voices in your heads do not qualify you to use a "we." Please make a note of that.

I profess to love Japan and yet I post these rude train videos? Look, perhaps your family tree doesn't fork as much as others but even a half-dead retarded sea monkey could quickly and easily deduce that the "rude train videos" do not even amount to 1/3 of my overall video content here.

Give us a break? From what, my dear sock puppet? From what pray tell? Silly sock!

[RoninDave]

you idiot! You just revealed that you are also uwatname1 since you posted the exact same thing under that handle. You can't even troll and multi-handle properly!

[uwatname1]

u are impudent. stop the noisy party on the train or go to hell right now. マナーが悪ぃのに何で反省しないのか不思議だ。。。

[uwatname1]

they are foolish. go to hell

マナーのないバカでも人に迷惑だけはかけるな！！

バカは外人だけだと思ったら仮装した日本人も多ぃ。。。やめてく­れ。。。

[RoninDave]

this was put up a year ago - get a life! then go to hell!

[mishimasword]

Yes folks, it's mindless stunts like this that set the Gaijin/Japanese relationship back about 20 years. For every law abiding gaijin out there, there's a bunch like this that make a bad impression on EVERYONE. Japanese were doing it too?? O.K, if all the Japanese jump off Tokyo Tower tomorrow are you going to do it too?

A little common sense goes a long way.

[RoninDave]

Oh, gimmeafreakingbreak! This event did nothing of the sort you melodramatic hack! I can't believe you used that last bit as an argument. Relax!

[mishimasword]

Truth hurts. Obviously you and your friends have way too much free time on your hands. If you did a decent days worth of work you wouldn't have time for such juvenile displays of "Entertainment". Tell you what Dave, try pulling this same stunt on the tube in your Merry England and see how far you get. Always easier to mess someone elses house with a party rather then your own don't you think?

[RoninDave]

Ah, but they do and people do this kind of thing in many places particularly after sports matches. IF I bumped into a party of japanese on a train in my hometown, I'd be happy to join in but that's because I know life is to be enjoyed and not wasted.

[mishimasword]

Precisely, after a sports match. Who won on this particular night? Japanese doing this on a train in your hometown? Dave, how %$&#"%! stupid do you think we are? Have you, or anyone for that matter, seen Japanese doing this overseas? PLEEEAAAASSSEEEE! Unlike yourself I didn't land in Narita 3 weeks ago, you have a lot of studying of the Japanese nature to do before you post a comment like that. LOL.

[RoninDave]

Japanese climb the Great Pyramid in Egypt more than any nationality. And I've been in Japan for 6 years. I think you need to study Japanese nature more as the Halloween Train does fit in with the anime culture, harajuku, hanshin tiger fans, etc...

[mishimasword]

6 years and this is far as you got, geez, you REALLY got to get a life. What do pyramid's got to do with this??? Anime culture, Harajuku, Hanshin Tiger fans? Are these classified as "A public disturbance? (Half point for the last one). You are hanging by the tatters of your faith Dave, let go, no one will miss you.

Cheers mate.

[RoninDave]

No, mate. You've got to remove that stick thats up your bum and learn to have some fun in your miserable boring life. Hanshin tigers - public disturbance? Uh, yeah! River-jumping, train-parties, a death or two. C'mon! Japanese are not all the boring mind-the-rules robots you muppets try to make them out to be.

[mishimasword]

Dave, arguing with you is like banging my head on the floor, it only feels good when I stop. All the best in your adventures, like dressing up as Miyamoto Musashi on a bad hair day, disturbing the public peace, and posting videos to add fuel to the Japanese fire that all gaijins are hoodlums.

See you on the train next year, watch your back.

むかつく！

[RoninDave]

You're persistent, I'll give you that but you'll not change my mind. I've ridden the Halloween Train 3 years now and all my experiences have been positive. Don't listen to the xenophobic killjoys who have no idea how to have fun at anytime. Why should I watch my back? I hope you're not threatening me - which is illegal in Japan. All i would do is offer you a beer. Chill don't kill!

Don't be a hater!

[kokema]

well, another reason to hate foreigners in Japan

i know that not all people are like this

but these kind of things stands out a lot

and i mean it when i say "a lot"

oh yeah, to those of you who think the japanese

are having fun, too

even if they are smiling it doesn't mean they are really smiling inside

they are just being polite to get out of the situation as fast as possible

same kind of thing we do to occasional nutcases on trains

[RoninDave]

Uh, there were Japanese actually participating as this video shows - were they only smiling on the outside?

Anyone who hates foriengers because some of them party on a train for one hour once a year is a racist xenophobe and who cares about them?

[kokema]

umm, so you think everyone was happy!

and its my imagination that most people in the background is ignoring the whole fiasco and trying to pretend that nothing is out of the ordinary

do you want me to show a japanese website which

uploaded a video about this event?

the comments are pretty much nasty (if you can understand japanese, that is)

[RoninDave]

I already know that website or one similar to it and it's just about xenophobic rightwingers looking for anything to complain about.

If people are ignoring it, it can't be all that bad, ne? And I was referring to the actual Japanese participants and those passengers who joined in.

[kokema]

the website i'm reffering to is a video uploading site like youtube, only its for japanese,

and no its not for rightwingers, and still the comments are all booing

the fact that your "Japanese participants" are

scarce even on this video, and that your comments are shifting to making excuses

by assuming things which you don't have any proof of

[kokema]

i doubt you're willing to believe that

・the people in this video are behaving in a way thats very rude

・and by acting this way, not only are they being a nuisance to the passengers, but other foreigners in japan who are decent enough to not act like bunch of 10year olds on a public train

[RoninDave]

oh, be quiet you killjoy prude! you weren't there so you have absolutely no idea of what you are talking about.

[RoninDave]

They are not scarce my blind friend, the first three in the video are japanese. My friend who was with me - the Chu-hi drinkign witch - is japanese. Check my latest vid on 2006 where I interview 2-3 Japanese girls who participated. You're the one who refuses to accept reality that many Japanese do enjoy the event.

[RoninDave]

As I watch it again I notice many Japanese participants

*The Chu-hi drinking witch

*The vampire couple

*French Maid

*Sherlock Holmes

*The devil girl standing with two cops who I interviewed in my longer version

*the group of Japanese girls with their friend in the witch outfit with silver hair

*the pink nurse at the end

Hell, they almost outnumber the gaijin in the video so I don't know what the hell you're going on about scarce! Can you count?

[Jusen]

You're making a big deal out of nothing Kokema. 90% of these so called foreigners love Japan.

[RoninDave]

Thank you, Jusen! A number of people this year and last year who were on that train love Japan. The castro guy studied an ancient obscure form of samurai martial arts here for 5 years for example.

[kokema]

well, all i wanted to say was beside from your so called friends, there ARE people who were extremely dissapointed and angry toward the way the people in this video acted

and seeing you speak about this like it was no big deal, and acting like nobody was troubled by this

i thought someone should speak on their behalf

[RoninDave]

tell them to relax and just catch the next train next time or better yet ask for a beer. We're very obliging.

[RoninDave]

No, you're an idiot. Sports fans invade trains and buses for parties all the time when their team wins - Hanshin Tigers, anyone?

[RoninDave]

Be sure to check out my latest vid on the subject. I made a longer video of last year's event with more footage and commentary. Some of you might be in or know people in it.

[colinluzio]

Well anyway mate, is it going ahead next week or not?

[RoninDave]

Don't know at the moment. Keep watching the net. I plan to show up around the same time just to be sure.

[parrrrot]

dont worry, a lot of people in Japan saw the notice too so you might have a decent show up of the local authorities

[RoninDave]

Hey, the more the merrier! Check the vid there were two cops chatting with a Japanese participant in a devil costume.

[TokyoModern]

you　seem a reserve criminal（不良外国人）.

anyway, you must stop it.

[RoninDave]

and you're a faker - stop posting your crap on my vids.

[TokyoModern]

very quick response.

if you adore japan, you should behave as it is.

[RoninDave]

You mean groping school girls on the train, chopping off mothers' heads, puking on train platforms? The actions of the few should not be weighed on the actions of the many - and besides the Halloween Train is fun as both the gaijin and Japanese in the video show. There was just as many Japanese participating as gaijin - deal with it.

[parrrrot]

yes, the actions of the few should not reflect the behaviors of many, so you would be stupid for replying back by regarding to grouping, puking, etc as a typical Japanese behavior. you seem to have traveled around the world but havent you learned to gain respect for the morals of those countries?

[RoninDave]

Shit! I removed the other guy's response by accident. Anyway, morals be hanged this is just some folks having fun on a train one day a year for about one hour. A bit of mayhem that happens in many countries whenever a sports team wins. And as I mentioned before many japanese participant in that they show up in costume specifically for the event.

[TokyoModern]

You should realize these childish foreigners lose the whole gaijin's reputations in Japan.

[RoninDave]

You should realize how stupid and racist your comment is. So if a black person robs a bank, all black people's reputation is lost? Only in racist minds. Besides what about all the Japanese participating here? Does that mean all of Japan's reputation is lost as well?

[TokyoModern]

We Japanese don't want stupid foreigners at all.

You must make out good gaijins will get damage by your childish action.

Idiots, Just Go Home!!

[RoninDave]

Ah, shut up, you muppet! You're not Japanese - you're just some stupid gaijin pretending to be a xenophobic rightwing JApanese

[lf5516]

Don't worry about it though. Things like this are BOUND to happen. Globalization/cheaper airfare + the COMPLICATED rules, formalities, and etiquette of Japanese culture = inevitable culture clash (i'm not referring to this situation specifically..because it happens all the time!)

[seiyast]

These stupid gaijin don't have any common sense.They like to annoy the passengers and are hated by the Japanese.

So that's why more and more Japanese reataurants and shops prohibit foreigners to enter.

Just check the video "Do you like Japan? Japan doesn't like you!"

I hope next year the police and JR will remove the idiots.

[RoninDave]

aw, shaddup, muppet! How does a train party relate to xenophobic racist restaurant and shop owners? Don't use a once-a-year party by gaijin and Japanese to defend racist xenophobic behavior.

[seiyast]

Can you understand a train is not a place where a party should be held.Passengers are annoyed by your shouts, drinking and costumes.

[seiyast]

Can you realize that your childish action make the local people think a gaijin like you easily violates regulations and should lack in ethics.This promote restaurants and shops to refuse foreigners as you have no manners.

[RoninDave]

So if a black man robs a nearby store, it's ok to refuse all black people to your restaurant? That's basically what you are saying - some gaijin party one to two hours on a train one time a year (along with a number of Japanese!) and it's ok for shop and restuarant owners to refuse all gaijins?

[lf5516]

Ah. Unfortunately, this will hold true in Japan. Japanese culture is VERY anti-foreignor. This is typical behavior of Japanese locals. They frequently stereotype all foreignors without hesitation. Don't forget, the negative stigma about we have about "stereotyping" mainly exists in America. We have to tread softly when travelling abroad...

[opaqueeyes]

Newsflash for the deluded: Though it may not warrant the barring of foreigners from restaurants as a response, *it's still not okay to party on a train*

[RoninDave]

Ah, shut up, killjoy!

[RoninDave]

Sorry but regardless of some gaijin (and Japanese!) partying on a train, the actions of those shop and restuarent owners are xenophobic and racist - plus I doubt seriously many of them have even heard of this event or use it to justify their actions.

[RoninDave]

Why am I not surprised that seiyast's account is closed? Troll

[OctopusDropkick]

Uh, jack-ass. This party is enjoyed by both Japanese and non-Japanese. You're a little retarded.

[kokema]

correction, only un-japanese

[jay3213]

wow so many anime nerds

[embeme]

Nice!

[njpninja]

sweet montage... i wish i coulda made on with my vids...
