[TimCommerford]

What does Ken say at 5:13?

[anticliche321]

DONKEY AIRPLANE!!! :D it's a miracle of physics!

[diesel828]

I love the Giant Robot store. There is also an awesome Japanese grocery down the street and a Korean restaurant across the way called Tofuya. I love L.A.

[LunethAkumajo]

where is Giant Robot?

[diesel828]

In L.A. on Sawtelle

[onagus2008]

hehehe. Ken's accent is almost dead on!

[jwns]

looollll. David Choe makes art out of

"blood and pee"

[gamrage]

ALMOST!! Come on, it's art man, take it!!

[stiimuli]

LOL "its a miracle of physics!"

I must know what you said to him in japanese that made him laugh after he told you to "maybe work alittle more"

[latesniloticus]

がんばります。　Gambarimasu.

I'll work hard.

[MRCAB]

hah! I saw both these guys at the San Diego Comic Con last year.

[shibadoggie11]

Ken Tanaka is so funny. I like his fake accent.

[jungrobot]

That's his REAL accent? Anyway, this plays almost like an episode of Sesame Street. Very entertaining and I could listen to Eric talk about Giant Robot for hours.

[HCScout]

no

ken tanaka is a fictional charaster by david u..or whatever

[fullmetalfunk]

David Ury

[SumAznKid215]

Yeah Lets play Robots!!

[flipmode7o2]

The Japanese dude speaks better English...

[iFukuyama]

born in the us, his name is eric!XD the "japanese" guy also speaks ffed up japanese...=\

[b133le]

I SOOO want to hit this guy in the facde with a cricket bat until he stops breathing!!! Giant Robot is an outstanding magazine though. Too bad I can't watch the interview 'cause of the jackass. Isn't it time for another culture to be exploited by the US? How about Uzbekistan,or something.Damn! I'm studying Japanese too,but I'm sick of the nerds!

[Zenophobius]

I went to school with Eric, going to have to drop by and say hello at the store and tell him I saw this video... are you still in LA Ken?

[ChelonianDudeMaster]

hilarious!

[StevenExists]

"Eric and I played robots late into the night."

Best quote ever.

[hobthebob]

This guy is hilarious

[gx3k]

I want an ugly doll :(

[summerbaby7]

kawaii! i want that magazine! o.o lol

[keyfob]

Is that the Giant Robot Store in west los angeles? I used to live down the street from that place and they have very good Japanese restaurants near by. tanakasan after you find your parents please help me with my English!

[Zenophobius]

Sawtelle Blvd -  great Ramen place and my favorite Hurry Curry

[geijutsu757]

jap dude speaks well english. his accent is perfect. i know he's been in america for a while before.

[atriede]

Are you implying he's faking it

[firefled]

well he is. he's really an actor called david ury who studied in a japanese university. he's done minor bits in heroes, charmed etc and has done work in Japanese variety shows as well. he's even put up a disclaimer in his channel.

[Crypticrealism]

Thank you for that bit of knowledge..what a character lol

[gsdotgs]

There are many miracles of physics.  Flying donkeys are just one.

[helpmefindparents]

Yes, gsdotgs. This is very true.

[tokyoronin]

Happy new year David Ury (Ken Tanaka)

[helpmefindparents]

Happy new year to you to, tokyoronin-san. I will also pass your message on to my brother. I hope that you find a master soon so that you are no longer wandering Tokyo.

[waazup2]

Hey David Ury, I saw you in Shoot Em Up. You're a pretty good actor.

[helpmefindparents]

Thanks for your comment waazup2. I will pass this on to my brother. I'm sure he will be happy.

[thewhitebarrywhite]

Ken Tanaka should an some effort to demonstrate his perfect command of Japanese. This might deflect some of the criticism flung at him as no one thoroughly learns a language unless they truly appreciate the culture, which, obviously to me, he does.

[helpmefindparents]

Hi, Barry, You can see me speaking my native tongue in video #14 when I am in Japan. I try to speak mostly English when I am in Los Angeles.  Thank you for your comments and advice.

[thewhitebarrywhite]

Tanaka-san, yes, video #14 is great. Please work in more Japanese in another video if you can. Thank you.

[purpleyeris]

Hey all, check out the Murakami exhibit if you can . . . it's fantabulous!!

[helpmefindparents]

Yes, The Murakami exhibit is on till February at Moca in downtown Los Angeles (Little Tokyo). I hope everyone watching this who lives in LA will go. The exhibit is fascinating.

[lesebb]

haha omg

[helpmefindparents]

Haha

[dixybicman]

Merry Xmas, Ken.

Mr. Nakamura seems very cool. I really like the bunny rabbit wave painting and the guy who

paints with soy sauce and pee pee.

Viva the Giant Robot

[xMushroom]

You have an awful sense of humour.

[sarre87]

you just ruined everything!!! =(

[fireraider747]

Cool video Ken...

[kimikojavar]

Merry Christmas Ken :)

[ShordansWorld]

What a great, interesting, video!!!

Keep 'em coming, KT!!!

[HolyShitImGerman]

Damn "Ken Tanaka" is on the movie "Shoot Em Up". Appearing in the movie's last seen! Your english in there is way better though than here ;)

[HALOandMETAL]

Ha! The Airplane Pwns!

[MBRHIndustries]

Donkey airplane. Yes.

[helpmefindparents]

Hee Haw.

[dankini2]

ken, my favorite is donkey airplane.

[helpmefindparents]

Thanks, dankini2. I wish we could go for a ride on it. :)

[dankini2]

hey ken,

love the art work. is it possible to purchase one of the two pieces your showed in the video?

please let me know.

[helpmefindparents]

Hi, dankini2. I'm not sure which art you mean. You can find links to the artists in the top right info section. Most of them have their work for sale on their web pages. The wave with bunnies is definitely available at the kozyndan page.

[shiadon]

Lol I've watched this vid so many times. Ah soo funny.

Also, I find that style of art very fascinating, I want to check out the magazine now.

Thanks ken =)

[helpmefindparents]

I am glad you liked it enough to watch it again, shiadon.  Yes, Superflat is a very nice school of art. I hope you can find the magazine.

[shiadon]

HAHAHA

One of your funniest!

[helpmefindparents]

:) Thanks, Shiadon

[yamanesumi]

Love it, again. I´m not very creative in what to write. Bad english I know, came home late and .. tired :) You make me smile every time.

I wish I could visit the store.

[helpmefindparents]

Thanks, yamanesumi. I hope you keep smiling.

[yamanesumi]

You´re just der Beste. I wish I had the time to really get into this whole Youtube thing. If you ever go to germany, come visit me in cologne.

I love your Artwork, I buy your pictures.

[helpmefindparents]

Thanks, yamanesumi, mein leibchen. I hope to visit you someday. I would like to eat some German sausages and beer.

[MrRay47]

Thanks for the intro to Giant Robot. I was expecting something like Keiichi Yabu moving from the Fresno Giants to the SF Giants. (Bigger giants??) It does look like Eric is just a little scared of you. Please let him know that we think you are a nice man and he shouldn't be afraid. aloha :)

[helpmefindparents]

Aloha, MRRAy47. I hope he was not afraid...it could be he was just very excited about playing robots.

[kemushichan]

Why is nakamura-san so distant like he's scared of tanaka-san ^^; eep!

[helpmefindparents]

Hello, Kemushichan.  I hope I did not scare Nakamura-san too much.

You are my favorite caterpillar.:)

[kemushichan]

osu! Yoroshiku~! :)

[kanyaru1]

japanese keep  distance while talking to each other, even tho he lives in the us,he is typically a japanese

[HalfJapMarine]

Interesting video Ken. I'm definitely gonna check out the Giant Robot store in San Francisco. Happy holidays.

[helpmefindparents]

Thank you, HalfJapMarine. I hope you can visit the GR store.

[potvinandy]

[babamoto]

Ano hito no ba ku ra un do wa nan desu ka?

[NichiBeiTrader]

"miracle of physics"! Yes, a low emissions donkey plane would be nice, but maybe a little smelly...

[helpmefindparents]

Yes, Nichibeitrader, that may be true.

[PantyMython]

Konnichiwa Ken Tanaka-San!!!

[helpmefindparents]

I hope so too, Mangolite. Their 50th issue is out now. :)

[Mangolite]

[helpmefindparents]

Do I not blink in this video? I did not notice.

[ericsurf6]

Nice interview Ken, enjoyed that!

[helpmefindparents]

Thanks, eric.

[maneneko]

Cool! I bought a t-shirt there once... Hmm.. I haven't seen that shirt in a while. Did you buy anything there?

[helpmefindparents]

I bought 3 prints by kozyndan. They are ukiyo with rabbits, like the wave print in this video. :)

[channeIreview]

ｹﾝさんの英語の発音はずいぶんよくなりました。特にRobot­と言う言葉の発音は丸でｹﾝさんの母国語は英語だったと聞こえま­した。Great job Ken.

[helpmefindparents]

有り難うございます

Thanks,Channei。きびしい発音の練習を毎日毎日し­ているのになかなかうまくならないな。。。。とおもったらcha­nneiさんのcommentをみて。。。。"やった！"と叫び­ました。しかも．．．英語で。。。

[HypnoSurf22]

i hope you find your parents soon.;)

[helpmefindparents]

[RemiFebruary]

めっちゃ、感動。

I want to go there.

[helpmefindparents]

Hi, Remi-chan. Yes, you should come visit. It will probably be very inspiring for you.

[RapidCycling07]

Excellent video as always Mr. Tanaka!

[helpmefindparents]

Thanks, rapidcycling07. You are very nice.

[kcajblue]

that seems like a pretty cool magazine.

[helpmefindparents]

Yes, kcajblue. I hope you will check it out. Eric writes many of the articles.

[smurfmanser]

loved the rabbit one! i've seen the original and love it too

[helpmefindparents]

Me too, smurfmanser. I actually have that rabbit print....I love Kozyndan.

[KOHPelord]

Whoa, I think I remember seeing pictures of the old black & white Giant Robot issue inside of a magazine... I don't have any of those magazines anymore, so I can't check.

[helpmefindparents]

Yes, Kohpelord, It was a very small magazine.

[sarre87]

what did ken say that made the other guy laugh towards the end?

[helpmefindparents]

I said "Ganbarimasu". This is a common Japanese word that means "I will hang in there" Or "I will try harder".

[PeaceWings]

Hi Ken Tanaka!

I love your videos, and this one is very interesting. I love your drawings as well, very cute!

Maybe one day we meet in Japan I live in Tokyo near Shimokitazawa.

Thanks for sharing your nice videos!

[helpmefindparents]

Thank you peacewings. I love shimokitazawa. I like the curry place called Yumeya.

[BaronZombie]

very interesting video. i enjoy all you videos where you are interviewing people. you have a real knack for it.

[helpmefindparents]

Thanks BaronZombie. It makes me happy that you say that, because I worry that my interviews might be boring. I will have a new interview with my neighbor and friend artist James Jean coming soon. He is a very nice man.

[Voular]

Hahaha. Sweet. :D

[helpmefindparents]

Thanks, Voular.

[ScytherTV]

lol the end was funny :)

I would very much so, like to play Robots with you and Eric.

it would be fun.

[helpmefindparents]

Thanks, scytherTV. I would like that very much.

[SSDNC]

i really liked you're donky picture, the Donky-Plane,

it was a very good idea, i think i would like to fly on a Donky-Plane!

[helpmefindparents]

Thanks,SSDNC I hope so too. I dream of a low emissions donkey plane that can help us stop global warming.

[SSDNC]

oops, I just reolised I used the wrong account,

hellooo again Ken Tanaka!!

it's me! ScytherTV! :)

i'm on my other account

[helpmefindparents]

OH, I see. Hi, Scyther/SSDNC

[notashot]

Giant Robot has a store right by my apartment on Sawtelle. I always wondered what it was all about. I just figured they made robots.

[helpmefindparents]

Yes notashot, that is where we made this video. There is Giant Robot on the West Side of the Street. And GR2 on the east side near Tebasaki Chicken. They also have the restaurant GReats.

S

[helpmefindparents]

Thank you LTLemon.

[notashot]

You made this guy SO uncomfortable.

[helpmefindparents]

Oh no, notashot, I hope that is not true.  Eric Nakamura is a very nice man.

[notashot]

I hope not either. But I can see how your accent may have thrown him off. It may have been the side burns though.

[ScytherTV]

LOL you can say that again :P

[LtNight]

Nice David nice :)

[helpmefindparents]

Oh, Ltnight, thank you. My brother is not actually in this video, but II will relay this message to him :)

[LtNight]

oh sorry ken. Nice KEN NICE :)

[nostrildoll]

this guy seems taken aback by Ken's accent at first. anyone else see that?

[helpmefindparents]

Thanks, nostrilldoll. I think he was just surprised by my long sideburns.

[socesguitar]

Ahahaha, GIANT ROBOT is great!

[helpmefindparents]

Yes, socesguitar. It is a great Robot.
