Two and a Half Oyajis Ep1 - How to Sit Like a Lady

Two gaijin oyajis talk about love, Japan, and life.

This is the first in a regular series Victor and I are going to make where we talk about the state of the world we live in, with thoughts on Japan, YouTube, society, and all the things that hold them all together. For more details on this series, check out this background blog here:

Apologies for the poor sound quality and fan noise - steps have been taken to eliminate that in future. For now, sit back, relax, get a refreshing beverage, and enjoy the conversation.

Peace

Also I hope that I can listen to a topic of the conditions of work environments among our nations, Australia, the US and Japan. Any kinds of criticism or affirmations are welcome.

[Hikosaemon]

@tattsun999 lol, good topic, but in my case the comparison will be with New Zealand...

[Hikosaemon]

@tattsun999 no worries at all. Most Kiwi and Aussie kids under 8 years old can't tell the difference. Frankly, NZ's flag in particular is stupid to me. I think you are in the majority being confused by it :)

Great first episode, guys! Are all of the transitions you used done live or were they done after the fact? I didn't see anyone pushing any buttons as you were talking so I'm guessing the latter.

Looking forward to EP 2!

[Hikosaemon]

@hmatsuuchi All the transitions were done in the editing software that came with VODBURNER although the software proposes transitions automatically based on the sound - so it is really more just a case of tweaking - very easy to use.

Sexism in Japan as topic !

[Hikosaemon]

@AnarUto50 Ooh! Just let me get my bargepole....

Why "two and a half Oyaji"? Is he two and a half times the size of you? Or is he playing Ashton and you play Charlie? :D

A shrine to aborted fetuses.... you know, not much effects me (not sure if that is a good thing), but, that's really creepy.

Really, really creepy.

I appreciate the video, but yea that fan is definitely drowning out the conversation a bit. I don't know who's fan it is, and I can sympathize if it's hot, but gotta bite the bullet and ditch it.

[tattsun999]

@Hikosaemon Oops! So sorry. The flag that you show at first part of these videos seems Australia's for me so that I couldn't tell them apart. I'm a stupid guy, sorry.

[tattsun999]

I want you guys to talk about the Japanese education systems or the methods, and also the differences among your mother countries, Australia and the US; which part of the methods among us is better and worse?

I've been backtracking through these episodes and I must say that you and Victor complement each other well. His style is very gregarious while you provide the staid wit that balances out into an effective duo. I hope this series develops some strong legs; it would be nice to see how far this format can go months, maybe even years from now.
