  • Hate to troll, but in some parts of my country, that would be considered quite generous XD My mum is an OT and goes into houses that are literally one up one down, stairs and a cupboard for a toilet. The world's smallest house is also in my country. It's crazy XD the difference between us and the Japanese is that they use the space wisely and are throughoutly modern with the use of space, whilst we stick to tiny tiny stuffy terraced cottages and garrets because we like tradition :D

  • Hey!!! It's cheap...I would love to live in a house like this.

  • hah , go to turky village to see what is stupid small house and weird language, you shwang wang wang young turkey bastard ,

  • but japan and u dont know if that happens? why dont u fuck ur self u slut? beein american dosnt make u perfectc,wish u end up in a third world country to undrestand the reall world

  • He didn't have enough money to build a full-sized house?? She said he spent 500k!

  • "more economic to do it"? sigh

  • Japanese new words "SHWANG WANG WANG SHWANG WANG WANG!"

  • @PammieChan you should learn Japanese before "attempting" or sarcastically "trying" to make fun of their language.

  • @AznMarshmellow1

    You should watch the video before "trying" to outsmart me. 2:36. Yeah, who's feeling pretty stupid now? You.

  • @PammieChan not really. you just proved to me that now i think you both are trying to make fun of their language. :p

  • @AznMarshmellow1

    No XD Gosh, I thought the way he said it was hilarious. I'm not trying to make fun of Japanese people.

  • Small as it is ,it is still for only two people. My design is using four shipping containers at $2,000 each to build a house for 44 ( forty four) people. How the hell did I do that? I was thinking a cheap house like this would be good fot the people in New Orleans or Haiti where the tents they have been living in since the earthquake two years ago are being evicted by the land owners. Cheap and good housing is what they needed, not the publicity that most small house owners have been seeking !

  • come to hong kong, u willl know what is small room.

  • i live in a van down by the river

  • he didnt have enough money to build a full size house yet he spend $500,000 building that if he had half a million why didnt he just buy a house rather then live in a parking space

  • i would laugh at a fat person trying to fit in that place

  • haha he barely fits in a parking spot... I wonder if fitting in a smaller home would lead to a healthier lifestyle... extra goods and extra pounds have no room in a tiny house... I gotta lose some myself if I want to live in one of these :D

  • Whoever wrote the subtitles must have been stoned!

  • maybe is cost that much cause he buy the land too.

  • everyone is not super fat like everyone in the usa. so this works for smaller people.

  • Iv seen places in the Uk smaller. One I saw was the size of a double bed and it was hugely expensive as it was somewhere like Chelsea in London.

  • that female caster doesnt seem to realize you can adapt to any size of place. you dont need a big house to show off to people

  • its not interesting... It sucks

  • What if there was a robber? Where would you run?

  • It looks kinda cool honestly. Not 500,000 bucks good but its not terrible at all

  • lose some fck weight you bastard

  • ROTFL!!!@CENK!!! 2:36 "Shwang Wang Wang & Shwang Wang Wang"!

  • My aunt and my older aunt used to live in an apartment size of an average livingroom.

  • In japan the cost of land is super expensive

  • Hahah, anyone noticed the subtitles? :DD

  • thumbs up if you would bang this news chick!

  • Comment removed

  • some people dont even have houses!

  • Am I the only one that would prefer this to a giant "American Dream" home?

  • On December 24,2006 at 8 o'clock in the morning, a young 14 year old boy by the name of Scott Jackson was found dead.Doctors couldn't come up with the cause of his death.His mother checked his emails to see if she could figure out what happened.Turns out he was still signed into myspace.She found he had gone to sleep after he read and didn't repost a chain letter.if you don't repost this to 6 videos a girl with no face will kill you tonight. Sorry i dont want to die

  • @XPD154able

    Oh com on does she have at least pussy

  • @SamTheToastMan Fuck that, could probably hotbox the whole house

  • I would hate to live there

  • Those news people are kind of asses...

  • nice. but i would be going mental in there..

  • Wow I want a tiny house like that, for some reason it feels comfortable, less guilty and airy in there by looking at it :D

  • only 2 cups and 20 shoes... what the shit?

  • @Straitpunk The Asians take really good care of their feet. As strange as it is to us that's what they're used to, They have shoes for everything they need like work, school, exercising, home use. They also have guest shoes for company to wear to keep their carpets clean.

  • This man is fantastic

  • who the hell down votes this

  • who the hell down votes this?

    But they have over ten pairs of shoes.

    Getting rid of the junk, you say?

  • Comment removed

  • i want that house

  • 350.000 for only the land

  • $500,000 for a tiny house!?! What ward does he live in? He should have just built in west Tokyo! Or better yet, Saitama; it's much cheaper.

  • The house fits on a 30 m/sq space, that's about 320 sq/ft. Minus the space the walls take up and a couple of unusable areas, they have about 250 - 275 sq/ft per floor to work with.

    And don't worry Cenk, for the Americans, they build an optional double wide, LOL.

  • i love that he says hasiktir in each video.. its kind of dirty:)

  • People don't understand other countries in the world, and assume just because it's different, or they don't like it, then for some reason it's "wrong"? Or it "shouldn't be done". I'm not saying I;m an expert on Japan but there's two IMPORTANT pieces of info you missed.

    1. Japan (especially Tokyo) can (and usually is) expensive! They got a good deal in that city.

    2. There's no space for anything bigger. So many people, they all have to live somewhere.

  • Uhm... Energy friendly? Well, I'm not super sure about the climate in Tokyo, and big windows might be a good idea there, but home in Norway big windows = big electrical bill. No matter how good windows you buy, it doesn't insulate as good as walls... But if Tokyo stay above.. say.. 10° Celsius the whole year, maybe even 15°, then big windows is great! If it gets too hot, just open them! But with -20° C it's suicide to have windows like that....

  • I love japanese people! :3 That house is actually...cool. I mean it might be weird to us Americans but to them its pretty normal. And probly most japanese people dont agree with this. This house is only good for 1 or 2 people. Not a family >.> And theres alot of people in Japan. So much that its even hard to get down the street. :P And they're on an island. Compare to america, thats tiny >.> So this pretty convienent. >.>

  • I love you guys! :D

  • People who lose patience call others idiots about something they disagree with instead of posting their point as to why they disagreed in the first place. So, you call someone a fucking idiot, then that's what you are for doing it. Bye.

  • Destery (CapnDesDes) had a smaller house until he moved out cause it was so small.

  • On the topic of bringing a date home, there is normally a district filled with hotels that can be rented by the hour or the night. These hotels are called Love Hotels(rabu hoteru), and are mainly used for couples to have sex in. Normally they are sound proofed and have alot of things for the couples to use (lubes and such), Even married couples go and use them. Not everybody uses them mind you, but many couples do. So that joke at the end, really isn't that much of a joke.

  • Dates wouldn't be a problem. In Japan they have fairly priced hotels specifically designed for lovemaking. Its has food, condoms, toys, whatever you need to enhance the experience. The front counters covers the employees face, so you can be the president and walk in with a hooker and nobody would know!

  • THAT is fucking awesome

  • Cenk is soo funny!

  • I guess the house is big enough if you're 5 foot tall.

  • now we need a reality show... Tiny house Hoarders!! lmao

  • If Tiger Woods keeps playing the way he does right now, he'll end up in a house like this.

  • @CtkrBobby he because he'll magically lose the hundreds of millions (estimated net worth at a billion) of dollars he has because he's playing bad.

  • The houses in shantytowns and slums in Africa and India are smaller than this.

  • @Azraelseraphim I don't.

    Because we got down with it.

  • My room in Japan is 3 m x 2 m.....this house is way larger...

  • @centariprime

    What are you, a vacuum cleaner?

  • wth that isn't even that small...the apartment i lived in before reminds me a lot of this

  • $500,000 for that? my shed just about equals it and only cost me 0 as it was free and omg the sink i have a bar of soap bigger then that jeeze , but yeah is a wonderful micro home for micro people i guess heh im like 6ft4 so my legs would be hanging out of the windows

  • How expensive is space in Tokyo that $500,000 doesn't let you build a full sized house?!

  • @LahmariS Tokyo is one one of the most expensive places to live in the entire world. A Jap friend of mine used to say that if you can afford to live in Tokyo you cld afford to live just abt anywhere.

  • I would have killed for a place that nice in New York. 

  • With that TV it's like a little movie theater.

  • I like how that guy is super concerned about saving space and minimizing junk but he opts to have 20 suits and 20 pairs of shoes.

  • @TehNarrator hey you want the guy to walk around all smelly?

  • @TehNarrator That makes sense, because he would go out to socialise. Didn't Mark Twain say that naked people have little influence in society? : )

  • I give him two years and he'll be tired of it and leave it to his mom

  • Check out the human storage units they pack em into along the Mexican border. Free trade! WOOO!

  • very interesting

  • Anna hates Japanese people. 

  • A couple of my friends live on canal boats, which are no bigger than this. They're really nice, I envy them sometimes, but I am rather attached to the 33 years worth of crap I've collected.

  • I think I could enjoy that, but I dont know about being wedged in there with my mom.

  • whathafuckjapanseriously

  • lol 30 square meters, Ive lived in an apartment with my bf that was 28 square meters, no big deal. Sure I wouldnt want to live there forever, but its totally doable

  • aww fuck no!!! I could not live there lol

  • This is the Plan the UN & EU has for everyone people. IT is one thing when it is voluntary but if they have their way we pesky humans will all be corralled like this

  • Strangely enough, I could imagine myself living in a house like that. Alone, preferably, or with a girlfriend, but I could definitely live in a place like that.

  • Sounds okay, except the $500K price tag and living w/ your mother situation.

  • I need atleast 2500 square feet to survive

  • I could live in that house, no problem.

  • Couldnt even fit my beer pong table in that damn house.

  • I'd go fucking nuts in that house!

  • schwang schwang schwang and schwang schwang schwang

    cenk just kills me there

  • Oh my god, Ana nailed that at the end.

  • for here in the states look for tumble weed homes.

  • Ana, in Japan houses are small and families live together, so yes, the kids don't usually bring the dates home. However there's those love hotels everywhere where you can rent a room for an hour, and they use that a lot.

  • This house looks great.

  • I saw this story on yahoo like 2-3 weeks ago , falling behind TYT ...

  • It's cool but after a week of living there I'd snap.

  • Screw that I like my junk.

  • Looks fine for two people.  If it was muuuch cheaper.

  • @anavarre what drove the price up was the cost of land in Tokyo, if this was built say... Reno, Nevada or something where land isn't so expensive that house probably wouldn't cost that much as long as the builders knew what they were doing.

  • How do you go to the bathroom in that thing?

  • There is NOTHING appealing about that house, I'm so very sorry.

  • Comment removed

  • In an Earthquake, Fire, Tornado and any other natural disaster this guy is dead. If someone hit his house with a car he's dead. 1 room at my place is probably the size of his first floor. And that's my small room!

  • @sagemakaiserxl or kick his house he's dead lol.

  • @sagemakaiserxl If he sneezes while he's in the house, he's dead.

  • I like the Hong Kong apartment where the walls move and the one room apartment can be changed into different spaces. 

  • Ana... guys dont bring dates home in Japan. Thats why they have fancy love hotels over there

  • This video should be titled "Robert Reich's House."

  • For 500 grand you could move to the US and buy a foreclosed mansion!

  • Which closet does he keep his Oedipus Complex in?

  • @TruthDevours nice one

  • Worst house to be in during a zombie outbreak.

  • @34601k 1 zombie = full scale invasion! lol

  • @malandr0bem Lol yeah but I'm just like even if there wasn't any zombies, most American men stand a good 5"8 at least fitting into something like this would be painful to say the least lol

  • @34601k I don't know about that. The zombies might be too dumb to navigate a triangular spiral staircase.

  • "Total and utter joke. Nonetheless, I denounce and reject it."

  • the total size of the house isnt that bad, the width though is unbearable. small houseing is okay but thats to small, doubel the width and it would be much more bearable.

  • Shit that house is still way better than my grandma's house in Mexico.

  • It's actually not a bad idea in cities where there are so many people you can't really move at all... Not to mention that the Sq. meter in Tokio is SOOOOOO expensive!!!

  • This guy is not planning on getting married unless he boots his mom.

  • cenk is the fairest man in america

  • That's nothing. I saw this one woman in the states who had a house that was literally a tool shed. It was only two stories high, but really, the top floor was a shelf with a futon on it so she could sleep and a ladder that connected it to the first floor... So yeah, it was a shed.

  • This is definitely better than living a life where you have 400 pairs of shoes or tons of cloth that you never wear.

    It's expensive to built only because it isn't common, things only get cheap to produce when in mass quantity, but it is practical. I don't like small space either... but I already live in my room, don't seem so different. There also nothing wrong with living with your parent, most Asian do.

  • Is everything in Japan getting smaller?

  • @CHAOSoriginal their penises can't, that's like, ultra optimized by now

    I appologize to Japanese viewers. I write this only in jest. You can say bad things about Puerto Ricans if you want. lol

  • @CHAOSoriginal Some Japanese men better hope not...

  • this particular space will be lots of fun when his mom gets arthritis.

    You can build a Wee House in the USA that is 345 sq feet. Its a cute little bugger, too.

  • That looks really fun!

  • Sales pitch: "Want to be the KING in your trailer park?"

  • That makes no sense what so ever.

    SPACE is the limited resource in Tokyo, in USA you have excess of it.

    Is not more economic to build in that small space as per se, is the lack of need of space in Tokyo that makes it cheap.

  • Maybe it's cause Japan is running out of room that they're building such tiny homes?? o_o

  • It's Japan. What can you do? LOL!

  • He still lives with his mum and then he chooses to live in a house that's as tiny as possible?

    Sheesh.

  • waste of time effort mind sigh am just glad to see ana back

  • The sink was so small, he didn't even wash his hands properly.

  • look up dome houses they are pretty badass

  • that last joke hurts... even thou im not japanese, it's hard to bring a date home, since people here are really strange.... anyways japan sucks. as much as this house.. :(

  • @bmhcj6gg Umm.. you realize they have hotels there SPECIFICALLY for people to go have sex at?

    Plus-- one should differentiate between different areas in Japan. This sort of thing might apply to certain parts of Tokyo and Kanagawa (but having lived in Tokyo for a year, I don't really see it). However, the rural areas of Japan are VERY rural.

  • I lived in my Kombi van for a while and that's quite a lot smaller and I've also lived in Caravans for several years. You really can get used to it and there is a certain appeal to being able to sit up in the morning and switch your tv on, then lean over and make a cup of coffee and cook breakfast.

    Even today, though I've got a luxury sports car and have a $300 a week flat close to the city I don't like houses; I don't like the idea of "my domain" encompassing rooms I'm not in.

  • in soviet russia house is smaller then you, in capalist america house as big as you want.

  • @xardas611 wow in Ontario Brampton its 2500sqft house for that

  • Its Japan, When they bring a date home Its usually on their pocket sized DS

  • Comment removed

  • Why don´t they build homes on the water ? Like mini oil rigs without the oil drilling of course !! There is not much space in Japan ! Build upwards ?
