[KEWLPIXELGAMERZ]

[charforeverbiotch]

[airtonkyo]

[aglpsfan]

[TheRussianv2]

Ken, you need to come to Minnesota some time! Hanging out with you would be AWESOME

[UberGamer1030]

Sweet! to California! Even if people are against it I still say America is about embracing culture and putting it in action so you can get a clear feeling of it! sounds cool! XD

I think I have a maid fetish :P

[montecristo73]

Hmm, you forgot to say you love me at the end of this video.

[GenyaArikado]

Haha, L.A and their erotic Maid Café

[SilverGunZoO]

I'm not ottaku but I wanna be for the maids !!

[chainsaw1227]

LOL wow...... sounds fun

[chinpowtu]

Do the girls there speak english as well as Japanese?English only would take away some of the alure for me.

[brandoniny1]

Ohh crap a PORTA-PARTY. Man, I would go pee for hours if that was my bathroom.

[ammarstrife]

maid cafes are over-price

[aliauna]

LOL AMAZING

PORTA...

PARTY.

[StabbyMcButterPants]

I've went to this place.. damn good food. I was thinking the food would suck. It didn't. :D

[kaddflaw]

[AirHendrix91]

ぼく　すき　ヴィデオs　の　けん　たなか　D

[0jerd]

@AirHendrix91Please tell me if I'm wrong, but isn't it supposed to be [僕は ]田中のビデオが好ですよ ! ([Boku wa] Tanaka no video ga suki desu yo!) ?

Boku can be omitted if I'm right.

[JrockNerd]

@0jerd

You are most certainly correct, that guy needs moar grammarz.

[CallMeMistressSally]

OMG need to go to LA NOW!

[ILOVEHATESOMUCH]

japanese are nuts

[doodweney]

i learn 5 languages to pick up 5 different culture of women working on my sixth...why you must be looked and your apartment with no women and are very angry have you tried excercise?Maybe after that you can attemp to learn a language and get a real girlfriend instead of blow up jap girl.

[LTEstyles]

It's very common for white guys from California to have a fetish for asian girls (especially japanese) Alot of them can speak japanese fluently, There are tons of these white older guys from the 70's who pick up japanese girls in hawaii and California. So this is no talent, just a fetish. He is a fake, look up David Ury

[Vaughnheezy]

you are a moron. i dont care about if you can speak japanese or not... if you can read and write it as a second language... thats a talent. Ive known the language since I was young, not originally by my choice... but knowing it lead me all over the world and to meeting my japanese fiance. and its not a fetish i just had better opportunities in my life than you ever will, and so has david ury.

[LTEstyles]

you wish you had better opportunities in life than me, i speak 3 languages and worked all over the world. you have a fetish point blank period. your in denial. that's the first stage. denial. it's common.

[123kawaiigirl123]

@LTEstyles

3 language!?

lucky you ^.^ wish i was so smart as u.

but one day. now i speak norwegian, english and learn japanese now.

im 13 years.

is that good?:)

[LTEstyles]

that's great. keep it up. at your age you can learn more ;)

[Vaughnheezy]

you speak three languages... okay if you wanna pull that shit into it, i speak finnish cause i was born there, i learned english and japanese in america cause i live here now. i learned spanish cause of the high hispanic population, i know korean (not fluently) cause ive traveled there many times, i also know bits of thai and chinese, and I have hearing problems so i know american and japanese sign language.

[123kawaiigirl123]

@Vaughnheezy

i used to visit there every summer.

im from norway. duuh.

from kirkenes.

but i live a difrent place now.

love aolo and sariselki <33

[Vaughnheezy]

oh and for work... i translated for snowboarding teams across the world, cause i know those languages.... which led to me getting snowboarding and skateboarding sponsors... so thats what I do. it pays well and i guarantee i have more fun than you on an everyday basis. fetish, nah... its just a fun life. and people fall in love with people from any race... love isnt a fetish

[semco72057]

I would be one of the customers if they had a restaurant in my area like that.

[fckngolddighoez18]

yea there somwhat the best but africans come out on top because them bitches are egyptian o and when the japanese bitches get old there highly fugly so replace them wit younger gears when you start to see wrinkles

[giugnhgbvinierngvb89]

japanese women are the best

[knoxvillechick4life]

stupid ganjin...

[Krieock]

Unless you're being ironic... It's 'gaijin'...

[knoxvillechick4life]

i was lol but thanks for correcting me anyways lol, in case i wasnt ;)

[salishna]

if you're gunna diss a guy who is waaay cooler than you and speaks much better japanese, i suggest you get the spelling right at least..it's 'GAIJIN', k?? n00b ^__^

[Blackmage777]

I want to strangle the person who narrates this.

[jayubig]

[chabab]

Gooojoohinnnnn sama

[swirlyeyes]

*Goshuujin-sama.

[chabab]

soo desu~~

[ieoua1]

it's not Japanese style...

if you like that kind of style,it's ok,

i just want to say it's not Japanese style...

[mybelovedsushi]

Ummm... youve never heard a Japanese person try to speak English have you?

Im sure he can speak fluent English too because I can hear a " th" here and there which Japanese cannot pronounce, but he is a hell of a voice actor - got it down almost perfect!! lolz

[ichibakudan]

why does this guy sound like he has downsyndrome?

[sinbrujo]

love the vid.. but me thinks maid cafes in the US aint a good idea.. *shrugs*

[SuzumiyaHaruhi0]

UN TAN UN TAN UN TAN MOE MOE KYUN

[BaiBaiKitty]

[mortaldos]

i want to open a maid cafe..... but there is much i need to know !!

[power3star]

Read up on the internet man, google is a good place to start :)

[visualkei72]

lol holy shit.. this guy is spot-on with the accent.

mucho props to David Ury on his impersonation of English spoken as Japanese person and his character Ken Tanaka.

[Spetznaz]

[seannopak25]

royalteaz

[keiichitsuchiya]

[MikaelUmaN]

Ken Tanaka for president.

[AyaFrost]

Wow... It's... really not that good.

[NarutoShippFan3]

it's fricken awesum to actually have one in the us but i feel as if it was an epic fail :(

[dcwota]

fake maid cafe = fail

[44TK33]

Ha, I love how you threw Tessar & Yoskay in there just for the hell of it. Superstar cameos.

[onlyforHermes]

what did the maid said 00:19?

[quanitary]

Man, are they paying you for this? You're giving the good advertising.

[helpmefindparents]

Ha, ha. No, but I got a chocolate covered strawberry.

[LlamaSims2010]

@helpmefindparents Those are the best!!

[maneneko]

OMG How did I miss this video??! This sounds awesome. Even as a female, I think the girls are HOT!

[Girssj3]

[BentoBoxBobbyTV]

THIS IS HILARIOUS. GENIUS. ^_^ ^O^/

[gothikrosecom]

Very good vid! Thanks for pointing out the featured artists, details, and also the ipod party :)

Looks like fun!

[crazyliv322]

thats one cool cafe!

[xshadowgirlx]

ugh, this place tries too hard to be a maid cafe...

and the maid are no where nearly as cute as japanese maids

[Cssfiend]

well obviously you would know you goddamned weeaboo.

[SaraSohma7]

ive heard about this place, like a few weeks ago i didnt even know it was that close to me, i heard it wasnt that great but id like to check it out looks intresting!

[Ferroman1]

hahhaha

[KerryDoan]

damnnn those waitresses are hot its like an import show but with coffee

[xendeb2]

how cool wish i were in japan

[xendeb2]

stupid me i didn't notice it was in LA

[thewhitebarrywhite]

It's ok to be otaku for a little while, but you must devote enough time to finding your parents. focus ken-san, focus!

[tsjoencinema]

I have never seen such a place. Looks fun.

[TheStranger2O46]

God bless those Japanese maids. They give so much and yet only want so little in return.

[xMushroom]

情報量の多いビデオ、ケンさん。ありがとうございました！

Forgive my bad Japanese!

[heyjeySigma]

what are u talking bout? it's even better than mine haha

[Tokyotogreg]

Hows it going.I like your videos.Hope you find your parents.Thanks for subscribing to me.The good stuff is on the way.

[winDragon79]

i think i'd prefer to visit a REAL maid cafe in Akihabara

[helpmefindparents]

That sounds good, winDragon79. I hope you get to soon.

[IkedaHakubi]

@winDragon79 I hope you are Japanese. The REAL maid cafes in Akihabara are not very friendly to gaijin. Ken, if you know of one that is, I would be glad to be proven wrong.

[hkdaijobu]

Hey ken it was nice meeting you on saturday!

[helpmefindparents]

Oh yes. It was nice to meet you as well:)

[bluecrabsandsushi2]

@hkdaijobu his name is David Ury,

[maxdesu]

何か、アメリカ人のメイドはちょっと違うねーw

むりだゎー

[helpmefindparents]

むりですか？マックス君。。。

[pachinko32]

omoshiroi!

[helpmefindparents]

Oh, thank you, pachinko32.

[2ylite808]

what wonderful work! what a fun event! maurakami's work is on display here in nyc as well! i will go to see it and if they let me record, i will share it with you!

[helpmefindparents]

That would be great 2ylite808. Where is the Murakami work in NYC?

[utubething8]

you certanly know the trendy parts of town, lol

[helpmefindparents]

Luckily, someone emailed me about this event and I was fast enough to get on the rsvp list.

[kenshin715]

Nice video!

[helpmefindparents]

Thanks, kenshin.

[theuglyninja]

hehehe great cafe hope they open one over here in london

[helpmefindparents]

Yes, theuglyninja. Maybe it is a good business idea for you.

[Highice007]

Subarashi! Great vid Ken. Thoese maids were Kirei onna-no ko. Hey Ken, since your're on the subject of Otaku, have you seen the Anime Genshiken? And do you watch Anime at all? Awsome vid, one of the best so far, but it would be cool to see anotherone of you searching for you're parents again. Cheers, Highice007

[helpmefindparents]

Thanks, Highice007. I always appreciate your comments:)

I have read all of the Genshiken and Kujibiki books, but I have only seen some of the anime. I don't really watch anime much, but I read a lot of manga. I will hopeflly have more videos about my search coming later. I was just contacted by a Smith:)

[Gimmeabreakman]

Very interesting. Think they'd hire me?

[helpmefindparents]

If they don't, you can sue for discrimination.

[MellowYellow11]

え！　ほんとに？　ありがとうたなかさん。五月に行くつもりです。

[helpmefindparents]

ぜひ行ってみてください、my１１さん。

[dkittykiss]

The artwork is awesome... ;)

[helpmefindparents]

Yes, it's an amazing collection.

[priceandpride]

you must be famous in japan

[helpmefindparents]

No, preceandpride. Only among my grade school peers.

[channeIreview]

looks like a video maid in japan.

[helpmefindparents]

That is true, channeireview. Hopefully, you will find this to be a CLEAN maid video. UWAHH! samui....

[CathyAnxiety]

Wow, it looks like a really cool place to hang out, and the artwork is great. I like the Porta-Party idea, very clever :)

[helpmefindparents]

Yes, the porta-party is a great idea:)

[piranhaboy5000]

boy that looks cool

i wish i could still hang out with you!

i finally got my laptop back and i am as happy as can be!

[helpmefindparents]

I'm glad you got your laptop back, piranhaboy5000. Maybe I will see you at another gathering sometime.

[bezelthai]

looks fun.

[helpmefindparents]

It was a lot of fun, bezelthai.

[zassounotsukushi]

日本のメード喫茶と違う雰囲気だと思う。

「お帰りなさいご主人様」とか、通訳したら何かの意味をなくす。

本物のメード喫茶っていうのは、何かのコンプレックスも付いてい­ると思う。

アメリカに移るとただの制服になる。

というのは、別にどうでもいいけど。

どうせ最初からばかばかしいものだった。

[helpmefindparents]

そうですか？やっぱり違うですかね。。僕は秋葉原のメードきっさ­を一回だけそとからのぞいたこたがあるけど入ったことはないな。­。

まあ、これはただのパーテイ＿だったから本当の喫茶店は違う雰囲­気になるかもしれません。今度行ってみます。

[zassounotsukushi]

私は一回しか行ったことがないけど、やっぱり変だと思った。例え­ば、食事を赤ちゃんみたいに食べさせられることもある。だけど、­場所によって違うよね。もっと変なお店もあるだろうと思う。

日本と異なるけど、ロスのメード喫茶は楽しそうに見える。私も行­ってみたいです。

[KOHPelord]

Come for the squids in bed, stay for the Porta-Party? Or maybe I have that backwards? :P

[helpmefindparents]

That is a great slogan, KOH

[rainbowdoom]

aw the girls aren't that cute... younger cuter girls please! :D

[helpmefindparents]

I'm sorry that you were dissapointed, rainbowdoom. :9

[bigpapa181]

I thought the girls were very cute. The whole cosplay thing still creeps me out a little, though.

But hey, if that's your thing I say let your freak flag fly.

[RemiFebruary]

Mo-Ehhhh!

[helpmefindparents]

Kyaa! Remi-chan tte, Maid-moe datta no :0

[gh3770android]

that cafe is kewl and that maid is hawt!

[helpmefindparents]

Yes, gh3770android. I agree;)

[MrRay47]

Mahalo Ken, your video maid my day.

I hadn't heard of otaku before so I learned something today. I suppose something from that subculture will eventually make it's way to Hawaii but I haven't heard about it yet.

aloha :) ray

[helpmefindparents]

Thanks, mrray. I maid it just for you:) I pretty sure their is some otaku stuff in Hawaii, but it may be hidden. Maybe try go Jellys in Honolulu or Aiea.

[MrRay47]

You sure know your Honolulu. I haven't been inside Jellys in over 20 years. aloha :) ray

[nuppon]

オタク文化の普遍性は凄いなぁ

日本人にしか分からない世界だと思ってたけど、まさかこんな広が­りを見せるとは

[helpmefindparents]

アメリカでは漫画やアニメなどがけこう流行っているので秋葉原や­おたく文化に興味を持つ方はかなり多いと思います。

[claytonian]

Such handsome women

[helpmefindparents]

Yes, Claytonian. That's the word I was looking for! Handsome!!  They are very handsome:)

[ericsurf6]

How long did you live in Japan?

[helpmefindparents]

I lived there for about 33 years, ericsurf6:)

[sloofuss]

GREAT! I am surprised they have not hired you for Japanese or American correspondent on some show.

[helpmefindparents]

ha, thanks, sloofuss.

[nbwulf]

Great stuff Ken. Those PortaParty booths were very cool...great idea.

[helpmefindparents]

Thanks, nbwulf. Yes, I wish I had brought my ipod.

[spooky121]

I wish i could check out these nice places, too bad i live in England. Ken Tanaka if you ever come to England i would love to show you around :)

[helpmefindparents]

Thanks, spooky121. Maybe some day they will make a maid cafe in England too:) I hope to visit one day.

[EmperorofAnime]

Yet another Awesome video by Ken Tanaka!! I will most definitely be checking this place out.

[helpmefindparents]

Thanks, Emperor. I hope you enjoy it when you visit.

[GManCena14]

i really hope you find ur parents

[deniskneifeld]

"i really hope you find ur parents" i really thought so too, but now i know that "David Urie(?)" is not a real person and he acan speak actually good English! So i cannot understand why he try to sounds like a guy who cannot speak English very well and when he "try" to sounds like faked guy he definelty dont wanna find his parents because he already know! I was really suprised, because i felt sorry for him, but now i feel more and more disapointed that he is actually a fake!!!

[LtNight]

Hey actually ur kinda wrong.. David Urie is a real guy and Ken Tanaka is an actor. David enjoys making video's about really cool subject's like people from Japan. He is just an actor and is having fun. I love watching "Ken's" video's and can't wait for #28!

[deniskneifeld]

i like "ken's" style too, but this got nothing to do with "helmetofindparents" because thats such an importand thing and ppl should never make jokes about that! i dont know my own parents and when ppl use this name and they actually know there parents it makres me angry! please dont missunderstand i like "KEN", but i dont like it when ppl try to be faked!

[gh3770android]

i agree, but as long as ppl are upfront in letting ppl know that they are just playing a character to entertain and are not making fun of those who dont know thier parents, i think its fine...no different than an actor playing an adopted child on TV. im sure Ken has no problems with actors playing a character who was adopted and in search of thier parents.

[bigpapa181]

Of course Ken Tanaka is real. He is the embodiment of the kindness and innocent joy that lives in the heart of every person.  He is as real as you want him to be.

[helpmefindparents]

Thanks, Gmancena. You are a very nice guy. Please take a look at the PM I sent you :)
