  • Oh god that's terrible

    You and your kind that cannot take pride and enjoy your own culture should all die.

  • >Obsessed with Japan and kawaii uguu

    >Doesn't know Japanese

  • I KNEW IT! I knew the blazer was supposed to be Ouran!

  • ''Want to do this was stress disorder PTSD''

    Audio transcribe knows exactly how I feel.

  • The worst part of this band is that the guys look to be in their late 20's-early 30's.... please stop now.

  • Dear Japan,

    Most of us find these people cringe worthy too.

    Love,

    The sane Americans

  • They're all old men? ... /cries

  • Omg. They're so embarrassing. I'm crying.

  • O_O i think i slightly understood the Japanese in there i watch too much anime

  • as much as i love LSB i jsut cant help but feel bad because i feel like they are making fun of otaku's in america T.T

  • Anyone else think the announcer sounds like America's seiyu?

  • @MythicHunterz Omg now that you say it, yeah he does!

  • Ok even in japan the otaku is an outcast. Its just a news peice about american culture that's embraced the way of the otaku, I saw a peice about otakucon in japan and the american otaku in attendince

  • Its always painful to watch people cosplay and say phrases and stuff. Oh my god it was so forced and awkward it hurt me, in fact I laughed watching this out of PURE nervousness for the people in this. I like watching anime BUT you would never know it due to the social stigma that is associated with it. I'm not a conformist or care what everyone thinks of me but to a degree I do, and to act fanatical is practically anti-social. Lol cheers to a place and time for everything!

  • Whatever anyone says, even Japan, I will still love you guys and your awesome music :D

    I like how you don't try to force your opinions onto others and your songs make me smile :D

    So please keep composing!! :D

  • There is not a single white person in this video who knows how to behave. Fuck everything.

  • rice niggers

  • This is so awesome! I love you guys! I wish the last part when they were talking was subtitled though. That would have been great.

  • Keep on rolling

  • I don't know if you guys are thick or just love anything that feature your shitty little group, but the guys at 3:00 are clearly making fun of you.

  • How is this a rick roll of Japan?

  • actually, those japanese dudes made fun of you, nigga. Cause you make fun of their culture.

  • the hosts are like:lol noobs

  • Wow, both sides of this argument are being immature. Now, I'm not sure what the Japanese people in the video were saying, but it looked to me like they thought that the anime fans were a little silly, but they didn't seem to be outright making fun of them.

    But really guys, you should tone down the "otaku" schtick a little bit, because it's making you out to be ridiculous. Honestly it's a little bit hard to watch... The tune of the song is nice, though. You guys shouldn't be so hard on them!

  • @Hiffvie You must be a mind reader if you know what the people in the video are thinking. The Japanese people are the ones selling the stuff overseas to the Otaku in other countries I dont think they are the ones complaining about it.

  • Yay! My friend Hayley is in this video! She is AMAZING at the guitar!

  • All of you who keep hating on otakus; you realize if there weren't any, we'd have no one to make fun of? :D so don't like, wish death on them D: encourage them :D more fun for us

  • @hihihidddd Ya know the majority of us otaku's you "make fun of" doesn't really effect us...we actually never care for other people other than ourselves or our otaku friends we aren't like regular people who have a high tension to think we have to be like everyone else but we are like ourselves in every way. but keep what you're doing if it really makes you feel better about yourself XD

  • @TopRamenx3

    "we are special snowflakes that the rest of the internet hates x33"

    Not sure if you're retarded or trolling.

  • @TopRamenx3 At least I'm not trying to execute you guys *shrug* :\ I'm an otaku too, but I don't do... this ^, this video thing, with that kind of weeaboo stuff. I'm learning japanese but I don't go around saying stuff is kawaii and sugoi all the time. It's not about you being an anime fan, it's about you being obnoxious with it. The problem is that when people who are total weeaboos exist, people like me are instantly shunned for naming an anime as their favorite show.

  • @TopRamenx3 I run my high school anime club, and I get people who walk around in cat ears and say "nyah" at the end of their sentences and give each other anime nicknames. And I don't mind them acting like that in our club, but outside is inapprioporiate. I want to be taken seriously, and not be called a "anime tard" or something just because I like anime and manga. I don't want to have to change my hobby in order to be sophisticated and politically correct and get a job. I want to be myself too

  • @TopRamenx3 But that will never happen if people associate anime fans with weeaboos. My own ex-best friend rolled her eyes and stopped talking to me when I told her when I saw her again last year that I run the anime club. In her mind, she pictured me acting like a retard and saying things like "rape is love" because I like yaoi, when in reality I am not like that. I just love manga because I love art and the Japanese culture. It's not your fault, but it is caused by you guys, ya know?

  • I think that girl at the end is making fun of you guys and your translations or the lyrics or something like that xD correct me if I'm wrong.

  • @hihihidddd I think so too. For one thing, she referred to him as "temee," which as far as I know is one of the most insulting forms of saying "you" in the Japanese language considering in most contexts it translates into "you bastard" and the like.

  • okay what i dont understand is if you dont like why do you watch it!!! Honestly if you take the time to sit here watch their videos and take the time to fucking comment it means you like them am i right?

  • @CristinaPocky

    How do I know if I dislike something if I don't watch it?

    You do realize their "fans" pirate their songs and don't buy them,right?

  • When I read "NHK" in the description I instantly thought "These guys weren't in the Welcome to the NHK series... liars!"

  • I no longer wish to live on this Earth.

  • @YoshiTheBlue Exactly.

  • for many Japanese people, they probably thought this is what all western anime fans are like,

    (buries face in hands and weeps)

  • @foolhou2e -Weeps with you-

  • FFS This is why I hide my fucking power levels.

  • They were making fun of you, you know that right?

  • i would laugh too. seeing as english is their native language and the english subtitles in the video are wrong. smh.

  • Ha ha ha Even the Japanese laugh at you. How does that make you feel?

  • Do these idiots even KNOW what Yuri means in Japanese?! And WHY does the singer sound like he's plugging his nose?! These are rhetorical questions btw.

  • @gaara1227 your first question: Yuri can be Lesbian Porn in Japanese but, Yuri is also a popular girl name in Japan and I've also seen some famous foreigners with that name (but I've only seen them on youtube and the videos look like they're from the 60's)

    your second question: "I was sick as a dog when that interview took place. Honestly I'm happy to have been able to do it at all." he said that to another comment...

  • "72 were arrested on suspicion of murdering Mr.Matsui"? What? lol The subs are so funny.

  • JAPANESE LAUGHED AT YOU.

    DEAL WITH IT YOU FAGGOT

  • You guys realize they were shitting on you. Right?

  • Are you people paid for wasting your own time to troll these guys? seriously?

    and you dont even like them...? wow.

    I think they have a better hobby than you trolls.. lol fail.

  • @reinoheya U maaaaaaaaaaad. Sorry, I've got an essay to work on tonight. I can't expend too much energy on trolling.

  • @TreetopYodeler not mad. lol

  • Comment removed

  • By the way, that Japanese lady in the thumbnail is NICE.

  • @TreetopYodeler Why do you hate cosplayers so much? You know Japanese fans cosplay too right? You're obviously a total asshole.

  • @LeetStreetBoys Depends on the cosplay. Cosplaying Gundams and Transformers is fucking awesome (especially Gundam box guy). Cosplaying people is pretty nerdy, except for those people who properly cosplay Shana and anything from God Hand.

  • To the average Japanese person, the words "adult anime fan," or "otaku," conjure less admiration and more an image of someone who sleeps between a hentai-print body pillow and the decomposing bodies of his parents. When the tsunami caused the cancellation of an anime convention, the Governor of Tokyo said they "deserved it" (he's a big advocate of new laws that restrict the sale of anime to young people). He was then re-elected.

    Just saying.

  • @LeetStreetBoys Then that makes me an asshole too. Because I agree with them all the way, bro. And by the way, you respond to rude comments like an eleven year-old.

  • Comment removed

  • I have no suitable reaction image to this, and my folder is fuckhuge.

  • Seriously... WTF?

  • jesus christ how horrifying.

  • Weeaboos are the very definition of failure.

  • I love your music keep up the good work ^^

  • >turn on captions and transcribe

    >set it to change to english

    >proceed to lol at the ending

  • fucking manchild wtf i dont even ugh

  • wait ... wait wait wait. your drummer isnt a freakin dragon? now im a disappointed, u know? get one, srssly, now! °__°

  • these guys are fucking losers

  • 0:42

    I just got fucking rick-rolled a little.

  • The best part is when the people who interviewed them laugh at how silly they were.

    I wish that these "otaku" realized that the word essentially means "loser" in Japan.

  • Wait,

    Did I just rick-rolled?

  • Ha! I thought that outfit looked like Ouran when I seen it..

  • Dude, you seem to be the funnest person ever.

  • Lrn japanese then. 

  • does any1 know wat the heck there sayin????

  • sad thing i don't understand a word :(

  • I'd like to see the other members of the band. ;w;

  • I DON'T UNDERSTAND!!!!!!

  • I missed you guys at anime vegas T_T. I had to go the second and third day only AND YOU PLYED THE FIRST.

  • Can someone plz translate all that was said in Japanese?

  • you know, i liked the song before i found out the band didn't look like their little characters. The guy seems kinda obnoxious... :P

  • @MrSupermuffinman Somehow we don't have an actual dragon playing the drums. Gee, wonder how that could be. I was sick as a dog when that interview took place. Honestly I'm happy to have been able to do it at all. Your comment seems kinda obnoxious, heh.

  • @MrSupermuffinman I know the feeling. Same happened to me. I was kinda disappointed. :/

  • @MrSupermuffinman Hipster and Weeaboo in one sentence. Nice

  • Can someone explain what the point of the black bars over the eyes is? Is it a copyright thing, or is it to protect the identities of the fictional characters?

  • @ImprovmanZero i guess it's a copyright thing -w-

  • Comment removed

  • cover their eyes, really?

  • You guys are so awesome!! on TV in JAPAN!!!!

  • holy crap how old is that computer???? japans gonna think the usa is still in the stone age.... lol i think its awesome they got on tv in japan tho.... now if we could only mainstream anime in the usa

  • @Yurrah

    If they do, I'm going to claim that the subs were better.

  • you rickrolled japan

    nice!

  • He said something about Evangelion? That's about all I understood from the Japanese dude X D

  • @TriforceF you didn't even understand "Character design" at 1:50?

  • @TheifOfEddis May have just heard Evangelion and everything else just melted away into nothingness = P

  • Wow, it's wierd seeing Japanese subtitles for a change.

  • these guys are going to be at animethon 17 this year, whoooot!!!

  • Gratz guys! You RickRolled Japan... How many people can say that?

  • Hahaha that's me at 2:41 ^^;;; I tried to avoid the camera the whole day, but they caught me once and I panicked!

  • RENO!!!!!!!

  • you are all freaking awesome

    leetstreetboys forever

  • i wish i spoke jappense so i knew what they were saying!!!!

  • Knocks on door. I'm expecting a teenage kid.

    Guy with receding hairline and looks like he's 40 comes out.

    I'm so fucking confused.

  • @Sapremic are you me?

  • @Sapremic The guy looks fine, doesn't have a receding hairline and doesn't look 40.. What I'm confused about, is how some people can be such jerks. :/

  • @Sapremic He just tries so hard to make them squee.

  • @Sapremic

    Oh god.. I totally did too. xD

  • I REALLY want to know what they said. Specially at the end when they were laughing so much XD

  • @wiwihyuga15 She were saying since they are anime fans they have been taught rude ways of saying things and think it's the way you speak normally. So she was sort of shocked when they tried to talk to her but were extremely (inadvertently) impolite.

  • @RamSama xD Erm? What sort of rude ways? Like saying "kawaii desu"? Etc?

  • @priestess1 Kawaii desu isn't rude. But she gives an example at the end.

  • @RamSama xD LOL, like I can understand it.

  • @priestess1

    Oh shit, sorry... It's hard to tell sarcasm over the net.

  • @RamSama Heh, I didn't think I came off as sarcastic. =/ Trying to figure out how that would sound sarcastic. (Because I said kawaii desu?)  Anyway, what does she say in her example? x]

  • lol the censors XD and.... is this good publicity for American otakus? Or... does it just prove japanese otakus are better? i'm just asking...

  • I cringed. Hard.

  • lol I think its so cool that you get to have fun with your fans and play around with them :) most people tend to fear their fans but their actually super shy when they meet their idols lol XD

    keep on rocking!! :D

    from: your number one fan and president of your recently added fan club ;3

  • Is there any way for you guys to put subtitles on this at all? XP

  • He can't type without looking. Unacceptable.

  • Ridiculous.

  • why do asains completly suceed at eveything?

  • You guys are so inspirational. Seriously. @ A @

  • so thats why its in anime . and auto tuned. horrible voice and looks. at least hes good at lyrics

  • Wait. Is this for real? o.O

  • This makes me wonder, who the heck rickrolled the world with Caramelldansen???

  • so wait did we fail or what?

  • 2:56 Reno!! XD

  • Vampire Hunter D Woot!

  • GREAT now the japanese think all the white people are IDIOTS, wait no change there I guess, bloody nazis.

  • @Krazywoot haha that's grea- shut the fuck up

  • @Krazywoot

    What the hell are you talking about? XD

    Okay, firstly, Nazis came from Germany. This is a video about AMERICAN otakus. There is no correlation there.

    Not ALL white people are idiots, and Japanese people don't think so either. I don't believe all japanese have the same mindsets, but if you were generalizing, I'd say the typical Japanese stereotype is that they are the superior race--ANYBODY not japanese is inferior. (Only if you were trying to generalize.)

  • 0:25 Why were those eyes censored.

  • @realprettygirl Probably Copyright issues

  • yay!!! otakudom!! XD

  • umm subtitles plz?

  • What does Japan truly think of 2:44? We shall never know.

  • @NigerianArchitect I can tell you what they think already. "Is that shinigami on the right fat or is that just me?" That's the first thing I noticed...

  • Im an otaku too!

  • you guys are awesome, i dont watch alot of anime, but you guys covered it all, plus that Japanese women in the cowboy hat is hot even though i dont understand a word she says

  • Haha, my mom translated the end for me! xD

  • @YukiKurabayashi So, I am quite curious: they are making fun of them in that polite japanese way they do, right? What are they saying about them, exactly?

  • @Aryln831 Yes, they are. They aren't insulting them or American manga/anime fans at all as far as I can see. I haven't watched this video in a year! I'm afraid that I don't remember what she said at the end. But from what I can make out, they think it's funny that Americans have taken a very high liking to anime more than them....I think. I'll get back with you on that.

  • @YukiKurabayashi Thanks! I'm just curious as to the cultural response the Japanese hosts had.

  • @YukiKurabayashi

    They are insulting them. Calling someone an otaku is an insult on its own.

  • @Szgerle Ah, well yes, you are correct...That is, if you wanna take it that way. While the term 'otaku' is frowned upon in Japanese culture, it's kinda the equivalent of being called a 'nerd' here. There are not much anime-crazy people in Japan unlike in America, so it's kinda strange to them. They're not trying to be mean or rude.

    I'm probably not %100 percent correct, but assume the best here.

  • @YukiKurabayashi

    Its a serious derogatory term to everyone, except the fat, unwashed neckbeards who call eachother like that.

  • @Szgerle Alright, it's obvious I can't convince you otherwise, so I'm not even gonna try and put up a fight here...

    Yes, otaku is a rude word in many cases, not denying that. But there's no need to be so sensitive about it. It's not like they're personally insulting you.

  • :DDD You guys are the Biggest Nerds you are Also My New Ideals I LOVE YOU !!!

  • 3:02

    japanesegirllaughing.jpg

  • 何か、悲しいw

  • ultimato trollo modo

  • 0/100

  • I kinda threw up a bit... in my mouth...

  • 0/10

  • fucking weeaboos

  • Near the end i think i see a Virtua Boy in the background

    I thought most of those went into the landfill since it fucks up your vision after a while lol.

  • My Japanese isn't the greatest but I'm pretty sure nothing bad was said about them in the end of the video. It was actually all comments like it's great and very interesting. The girl was explaining the joke about Yuri meaning "you are" in English and how it's like a language joke. She thought it was funny.

  • @ZyxBlackwind No offence but you're wrong :p

  • @RamSama Ah I see. Yeah, looks like you would know(judging by your channel :). :p I've been here 3 years but still can't understand when Japanese people speak to eachother... way to lazy to study though. After reading what you said about rude Japanese and listening again I can understand a bit better. She talks so fast... Like for example Americans like the word Temei she said? Actually that's pretty true when I think about it. Lots of my original vocab came from video games or anime I bet.

  • Is that edward E's voice actor(not vic the origional)0.o

  • Whats funny is that so many people make fun of these guys....yet there on television, being acknowledged for the quirky songs they made. Their enjoying what they do, and so many others suport them for it..........kind of makes all the haters look well.....jealous. >.> I mean hey, go ahead and say hes a wee-aboo, but keep in mind, hes the wee-aboo now acknowledged in a good light in japan, and you well....chances are your still making crappy sketches of mary sue characters while watching this. :)
