  • Why do people always fight about this? Why does it matter so much whether your great-great-grandfather came from Mongolia and your great-great-great-grandmother came from Siberia? (not applying only to Japan and the Ainu but all over the world) Everyone's been intermixing since the beginning of time and we AAAALLLLLLLL come from the same common ancestor, so instead of battling over the roots of ethnicity why not just love the one you have now? It's so much more worthwhile.

  • ONE BLOOD ONE LOVE

  • Ah, tey are actors (not real ainus). Now i understand. Não sei...o mundo é muito complicado e, pensando bem, é melhor extermina-los e unificar a coisa toda (refuse to translate this).

  • exterminar os ainus?? porque?(he said in portuguese that it would be better to exterminate them and unificate the whole thing... i dont know what he meant by this but im just translating for those who dont speak portuguese

  • hey!!! The one used by the ainu lady in 00:45 is like the one here in the philippines. The way its sounds, the way it is played is actually the same! Here in the Philippines we call it kubing.

  • Everyone from Asia originated from Mongolia.

    Same goes for Amerindians

  • Japan would benefit fr acknowledging their roots in the ainu, that is their wonderful heritage.They are a very complex, beautiful culture.Also a warring people, where do you think that fighting spirit of the japanese come from.;)

  • Northern japanese claim to have white russian in them after intermixing but say they are japanese only.They have a habit of doing that, they don't claim other ethnicities.Some japanese come fr china for mongol blood,language originated fr china NOT korea as some koreans claim.Korean,AND other immigrants have mixed w/now the already mixed japanese w/ainu/russian.But claim only japanese.

  • Europeans orginated from central asia, with the barbarians living throughout asia, migrated throughout europe(celts) that can account for the ainu who historically called barbarians.Similar rope design.Totems not orig ainu,copied fr am indians.The ainu have white russian blood in them,common it's obvious.Much propaganda false info on internet.

  • The Ainu and Japanese have been mixing in for centuries, some Ainu don't claim their ancestry, they claim only Japanese, because of past discrimination. It's a sad, because in particular the ainu are part of the heritage in Japan and thousands if not millions of people are part Ainu. It's like alot of Americans deny their American Indian descent.

  • @beckerikeda902 wtf? its nothing like that in the united states, its more like no one is mixed and the people who are take advantage of the benefits they get even though they look nothing like they're cherokee , navajo, or apache.

    it was a massacre and the few that were left were forced into schools for years so that they could not communicate with their parents

    its one thing to be european and be conquered by the romans, its another to have all of north and south america wiped out.

  • Japanese are a mixture from the Jomon, Ainu, Malay, Russian, Mongolian, and other groups. The Ainu are so mixed in, they don't resemble their original ancestors, who looked like a mix of people... White Russians, Fair Skinned Indians from India, Polynesians.

  • japanese dont have any russian, indian, mongol or malay blood in them, what on earth are you talking about?

  • Yamato people is lelated to people that lived a really long time ago in Altai and are closely related to Koreans then Mandchu and nowadays Mongols (khalka, buriats, etc.). People in the south of Japan have malaysian blood, the reason is malaysian people, indonesian and polynesian people come from Taiwan which is less than 200 km of southern islands of Japan.

  • yea maybe- but indians and russians? I THINK NOT. what kind of bozo would say that japanese are related to indians and russians

  • Russian no, Indian I don't know. In an other hand koreans (and not Japanese) share a bit of indian heritage in their DNA. It's strange I know...

  • NO THEY DONT- QUIT BEING FUCKING RIDICULUS. japanese have as much indian blood as they do african blood. which is NONE

  • you're an idiot

  • well we all have the same blood really. we all come from "the original" human. there WAS a first one, you know.

  • well i've heard that inuits (natives of alaska) have a close relation to the japanese?

  • lol- because they are geographically right next to each other.

  • yes. everyone is related.

  • Am I wrong to therefore think that Ainu people always lived in where it's called today Hokkaido and Japanese people would be originally settlers from China, Korea or even Mongolia ?

  • As an anthropology student it would be very nice to be among those people...Unfortunately I'm in Brazil...what a pitty...!

  • isn't there language different? then the japanese that we hear? are they a kind of tribes? i've heard of these people but not that familar on them. i know that they live in hokkaido.

  • Yes, the language is considered isolated from any other, the first few seconds are Japanese with the rest being Ainu and overall, the Ainu are the Japanese equivalent of Native Americans from the noble savage stereotype to getting screwed out of their land.

  • yea ok- native americans had more done to them then just getting screwed out of their land.

  • I didn't say "ONLY", did I? Obviously there's a lot more similarities in getting crap treatment, but I didn't want to go on a whole tirade, ok?

  • I wonder what ratio of their tourists is Japanese.

  • sugoi!! oreha kono hito wo shiteru to omou!, 3 nen gurai mae achi ni itta, minna onaji hito da, natsukashii!

    WooW, Iwas there abaut 3 years ago, an they are still the same! Wonderful

  • Thank you for posting this.

  • Though considered a moribund language, tehre are handful of fluent speakers, many of hwom do use the lang. in their daily lives. A revitalization of the language is at-hand.

  • Yes, there are newspapers published in ainu language. I've been told the language is also taught in the university of Sapporo.

  • Wonderful!
