[TeaCupDreamer]

Kublai Khan is so cute!

[XSmexyLamaX]

[koreanjapanesegirl]

Lol my mother is a fox? She can't even pronounce turtle or squirrel -.-

[ArcherKyrios]

@koreanjapanesegirl guess so!

[VocaloidMikulover]

hello..ma-ma-ma-moshi" haha.

[ninjapirate0507]

Isn't moshi the honorific form of yobu (to call)? Makes sense to me.

[LiaEvalle]

your cat is cute :D. But why did you call her Kublaikhan if its a she -_-;

[XwolfiemoonX]

lol my art teachers have my class making a sushi box and it must be called moshi moshi (the foxes cant buy it) :3

[cryomanic]

i dare someone to say Moshi Moshi (even if you aint Japanese) to the next time a Telemarketer calls ...especially if they call around dinner time!! XD and post the recording ......if it's legal to that is XD i wouldnt know cuz i dont care to

[Goat5611]

@cryomanic is it legal to answer the phone, "moshi, moshi?" are you being serious?

[OpheliaBranwen]

Gotta say Koichi-san I miss you hair like this lol

[marykatelyn2]

she rolled her eyes when you told everyone on the internet her weight.

typical woman?

[Uatemydoodle]

lol at the fox story...

Also you know how some people, mainly in anime they say:

Moshi mosh, how woudl you spell it since they dont say shi at the end of the second one and sh or shu isnt a word.

[RivernightPro]

@Uatemydoodle you would still spell it as moshi moshi. (もしもし)

[puppy2525aa]

Telemarketers are british?:)

(keep in mind I'm still learning......so I might be off...."Sorry fox. Not this time!!")

She hung up the phone XD She was telling me about it the next day and I was pretending like I had no idea :D

[2presiousGurlz]

[rozinhaleal]

can the fox bitch women be a ass fox man? normally I dont like this words but I tought was a bit sexist..

[EstefaniHernandez45]

cute cat rolled her eyes. KAWAIIIIIII! so yea. nice explanation about moshi moshi. i was wondering what it meant....I love Japan.

[takikinomi1995]

DUDE. I love your cat!

And I like the fox story better too. ^^

[tlatko1234]

Moshi Moshi was derived from "Moushimasu. Moushimasu 申します" which translated into "I am talkng". I think most of Japanese know this.

[mysterychemistry]

@tlatko1234

THANK you. your information is actually useful, unlike this guy's extensive rant.

[yobster2]

lol dude you are super cool man

[minogirl01]

I love you're cat! She's so cute! My cat would have killed me if I held her like that ;_;

[nyafiya]

How could they use moshi moshi when someone's spacing out if they don't use irony?

[oOExcuseOo]

I have that telephone o:

[ZebraObsessed]

Once my dad called and I said "Moshi moshi?" then he said "Is your mom there?" and I said "Chotto matte kudasai." He was confused but I felt really cool. ^.^

[magikano96]

now whenever i get a call i say "Moshi Moshi" and if they say "what?" i say "UR THE EVIL KITSUNE FROM MY BACKYARD!" btw your neko is kawaii ^_^

[hanmer91]

My cats name is Moshi. :)

(we got it outta a language book o some kind.... 12 years ago?)

[Evilchucky999]

I looked at my iPhone...

[CH37005]

Why keep watching after 0:20?

[ShadowSword32]

Kitsune are a pest :3

[sasukexXxcrazy]

We have the same glasses. 8D

[rearea4321]

your cat is so cute

[Saedin]

I don't know who's cuter, you or your cat...

[Daver869]

@Saedin his smile @ 2:19 was cool!

[KatsumiM48]

hahahahah moshi moshi sounds weird if you say it enough times consecutively

[HauntedGril]

I loe it! hey, take care of the cat, i am a cat lover !! so cuuuuuutttttttttte. i wish i can have one which say "hi" hhhhhhhhhh

thnx for the vidio by the way!

[yoshimaru12]

ahahaha i love the fox explanation.

i never thought about the reasons why people said moshi moshi, even when my friends asked me. but now i have an explanation to give them when they ask why!!

thank you!

[Nekorin]

Why can a fox speak well enough to trick you into marrying them, but they can't say "moshi moshi" ?

[vatotrucha187]

man i dont want no japanese lectures from korean ass motherfuckers.

[ikkerules1]

i dont know wheres my japanese keybord but: domo arigato goshaimasita

[AkatsukiGami]

@ikkerules1

You can use IME to type in japanese pm me and i'll tell you how, and it

is: Gozai imashita

[ikkerules1]

@AkatsukiGami thanks and i didnt know that site sorry :(

[ikkerules1]

[AkatsukiGami]

@ikkerules1

Kk

[Ibuythedrugs]

lol James.

[daisys4jordyn]

AAH I LOVE YOUR CAT!! SO KAWAII :D

[GentleGeisha]

But what if I use Moshi Moshi on the telemarketers and they transfer me to someone who speaks Japanese? D:

[YaoiNick]

lol...nic vid

[victorzito]

Hahahaha! Great! Very funny! xD

[airiechanfilms]

OMG HE IS LIKE GIMMIEOFLAKEMAN'S SON

[atamagomu]

I have heard it used in the case of: is any one there. like HELLO? is anyone there.

If you step into a dark whare house and dont know if anyone is there, moshi moshi. hello is someone there. I have seen it in horror anime and movies.

[MithranArkanere]

Because if you don't you may be talking to a fox that is tricking you to buy really expensive shoulder massager machines with no guarantee!

NO GUARANTEEEEEEE!!!!!

And that's no eye-rolling. That's a 'search for escape routes' gazing around. They do that when you hold them and they are not in the mood to be hold.

[01gabo01]

moshi moshi in my pants, lol

[Kamizilla]

K-K-K-Keiiiigo!

So does your cat answer the phone like, "WEI!? WEI!? WEI!?" Because that would be funny.

Also, I'm picturing her in full Mongolian battle armor riding free across the Siberian plains on horseback.

[thatthingoverthere]

LOL. MAGIBON VIDEO.

[101gost]

cute kitty ^^

[ka2urikousuke]

[pepriika]

moshi moshi = Aló?!! in spanish...

[Kontheperv]

I have that same phone.

[alannajeanC]

I love how your cat rolls her eyes, so cute!

[DJDantae]

I had heard of the fox one before too, it sounds the most likely explanation.

[nitzanooscirno]

your cat is soooo cute!! :D

[neverlasting49]

any video where someone pretends to be a fox is an epic video.

[jperki22]

moshi moshi is like moshi monsters...
