@Sidse Nah, not word puns this time. There are these large park-type areas in Japan called "German Villages." Some of them are like theme parks, but others are just large expansive fields with sunflowers, gardens, and walking paths. It's not really authentic "German," but certainly German-inspired. I've actually been to one-- they had this biking circuit for kids where all the bikes came in these crazy shapes and sizes.
@DevastationJ I think the famous "Sushi" video on YouTube has a lot going for it, especially because it's so simple for anybody to understand. The learning curve for this one is a bit steeper.
But I hope it goes viral too. Thanks for giving it a look, J. : )
@moocapiean It's not at all wrong to be learning about Japan from this-- I've learned tons from this video. I can't say it's made me a better speaker, but it's a good conversation starter when I figure out where Japanese people are from.
@auracel Jin Katagiri is incredible at being over-the-top, crazy-hilarious. The parts when prefectures get skipped are some of the best (also, I love it how the camera zooms during parts like that, and the musical parts).
Also, he really ought to have that hair trademarked. : P
What's with the running German village gag? Are there alot of german there, or is it just one of their word puns?

Yoji-ya part is wrong. It is confusing.
A yoji is a toothpick, and "ya" menas store.So, he IS in the Yoji-ya a famous cosmetic store,
but he thought it is a toothpick store, and ask "is it not a toothpick store?"

Is it wrong that I'm learning about Japan from these two videos?
Will you get to see Rahmens perform live before you leave?

Haha, I was laughing harder than I should have at the Kumamoto Prefecture part. The emoji were a nice touch! Thank you, Nico Nico Douga users!
