Rising Gaijin Episode 1 局外者

[imarchello]

Basically, you're an English teacher in Japan, is that right? What did it take you to become one? Could you please describe that in detail? (If possible).

[ricckardo]

wow your life seems pretty interesting, your episode 1 is like a mini series from hbo to me, wicked

[SnowPaleVampire]

someone missed the like button D:

[michaelovan]

very interesting work, gaikokujin!

[whifling]

This isn't like a youtube vid, it's is like a mini film =o

The 'flashback' scene made me nostalgic and I've not even been to Japan =P I think it was maybe the effect of the music ( '-')

[RisingGaijin]

Thanks thats kind of what i was going for.

[robochrish]

linkin park, FANTASTIC CHOICE :D

[RisingGaijin]

i thought so too. i was scarfing down tacos when i was thinking about the music.. HAHA SCORE

[Bakunkun]

Dang...I know the song that was playing a the end! lol

Man, I envy for the time you were going there. 2005 in dance parties were the BOMB over there.

[RisingGaijin]

HAHA,.. iam still here man.. i just went to a fucking rave the other night.. with my glowsticks and what not.. haha wohoo..

[Bakunkun]

NICE! = D

But I was mainly told that the main big ones that use to be in Tokyo are dead today...is that true!?! I really wanted to see one at Club CITTA'!

[xhaku2121x]

Are you Indian by any chance?

[RisingGaijin]

hahah no iam mexican.. LOL..

[smaviii]

i see where haku is coming from (similar skin tones) but my question would have to be, how do people treat you?

[soccerrocks15]

I can't believe I'm only just seeing you're vlogs now, they are really good!

[RisingGaijin]

TANKS MAN>> THAT MEANS ALOT>>

[Tesfaldet]

dude, why haven't I stumbled through this before!? Good thing TkyoSam mentioned you... Cuz this is SICK!

[RisingGaijin]

why thank you fellow youtube veiwer !!!!!!!!!!!!

[NihongoBryan]

wow this is awesome man! rated 5/5!

[Snelis]

Great video. Looks like I've got some catching up to do :)

5 stars and sub :)!

[novanine]

I'm hooked. That was epic!

Brilliant editing and a lot of imagination in the shots you took.

[TakyoKen]

nice, can't wait to go to a study abroad over japan

[RisingGaijin]

whats your plan?

[TakyoKen]

In two years I'm going to college and I was thinking about going to a art school over here first for only two years then i'm going to try to see if I could switch my college and see if I can go to an art school over in Japan. My goal is to become a Mangaka in Japan.

[scrd81]

loved your vid :) you have a great music taste aswell. *subscribed*

[RisingGaijin]

Thanks for the sub. Iam editing R-G ep 3 now. i think you will like that one too.. kinda crazy.. Keep in touch and comment

[RisingGaijin]

its hard to aproach them because You have to speak so they can undersatdn what you want them to do. I get nervous sometimes and they see a Gaijin with a camera and they think iam trying to produce a porno. i went up to some japanese schoolgirls and they were nice enough to say my intro. But the 1st few times they ignored me but you will find that Cute funny group who like gaijin and they will be fun..

[scrd81]

yep takes some guts to talk to foreigners :). but in what part of tokyo were you ? if your in the southern part( where the embassys are) i guess they would reply diffirent. but yeah im looking forward to your next vlog ;D. when does your teacher job start btw ?

[RisingGaijin]

Yes its crazy ass takes guts. I was in shibuya and all around tokyo. i did not really need the embassy's like why would i go there. its like te Chinese living in china town.. ha ha ha. iam here for the experience. But yea iam hoping to get a job like teaching and livng. there are places where you can live for free as long as you teach.. ha ha ha. iam just enjoying life right now

[TotemoTuan]

Yo your editing is on point bro, where in Japan are you teaching?

[KIILswitcH270]

Oh its in tokyo. like in ueno someplace.. why are you thinking on going to japan to taach?

[TotemoTuan]

oh no I was just wondering, i'm studying abroad for a year right now in Oita lol

[RisingGaijin]

oh sounds cool.. how far is that from tokyo ^_^?

[TotemoTuan]

hmmm, it's on the southern island, kyushu, so about 1.5 hour plane ride

[QueenBeeAndBabyDuck]

The editing forced my cliking finger and now I'm subscribed. Looking forward to your future episodes!

[KIILswitcH270]

Yes thanks . did you see my episode 2? its a little lame but yea the only thing that matters is the viewers choice.. ha ha ha let me know what you think about that episode

[akaiYaMa9]

this is the first of your videos ive seen, and i can say your editing skills are the best of any Japan vlogger.....only thing that you need to figure out how to do is put your videos in HD and your good to go!

oh ya *subscribes*, hope to be seeing more from you

[RisingGaijin]

Hey thanks alot man.. yea it takes me a long time to make the videos. like a month... iam in the progress of the second episode now and iam almost done.. hope you see it and like it. Yea i would now mind putting the videos in HD

[akaiYaMa9]

Don't rush to make the next video! The footage in this video and the editing I could tell took a lot of time, but its quality not quantity and when you take your time then you you get a master piece like this video! So don't rush yourself!

Ill be sure to keep watching....peace

[RisingGaijin]

Yea Teaching Enrish is my calling iam sure of it. Yea.. it took a while putting it togeter but dedication dedication. Ill keep you posted

[Hikosaemon]

Hey dude, I'm new to your vids, but this was awesome. I know how awkward it can be taking video sometimes to get those clips of being on the plane or whatever, but you did it, and put it all together great. I'm looking forward to watching your other stuff.

[RisingGaijin]

--Richie

[martinstatic]

Woah was the vid meant to have such a melancholic tone, cos I like nearly cried when you were at the crossing at 4:00 :(

I too will have such a spiritual and mental journey when I get there man, it will probably destroy me but I'll come thru :D

Also I'll hopefully be there with ya next June or something...oh man, I can feel the butterflies and tears already coming :S

Also, at the beginning with the talk of ninja turtles, what was that, a mock up or where you actually on telly dude?

-Martin :)

[RisingGaijin]

No nto really in the begining i was interviewed by my local tv station because i did a demonstration at my high school about japanese arts and i won 2nd place on talent and did some martial arts and broke some boards.. ha haha

[martinstatic]

Cool, nice one :D

Which martial art was it you did?

[RisingGaijin]

Oh it was a mix between like martial arts of aikodo and taekwondo. I cound not find the video but someone has it in highschool. haha
