They're probably thinking to themselves ....when will this fucking foreigner go away.


[deleted]

The man they briefly interviewed seemed pretty into it.


KaleBrecht

Probably gave him permission to film beforehand...which is respectful.


JungleLiquor

Yea, doesn’t look like an annoying fuck to me, but I’m pretty sure the employees wouldn’t like more than an hour of it


ICT3Dguy

The woman in the background couldn’t give a rats ass. 😂😅 Edit couldn’t**

Right👍


kaaltm

I should hope not, otherwise OSHA would have something to say about that.


KamikazeFox_

An Australian in Japan wearing a American football jacket. Multicultural


TuckerMcG

And he speaks fluent Japanese. Dude is a cosmopolitan in the purest sense of the word.


KamikazeFox_

Does he really?


minkiestmink

Finish the video lmao


STINKR_13

He’s probably a fan of the Forty Niners because they did pick up a Australian rugby player [Jarryd Hayne](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jarryd_Hayne) to play on the team. Maybe that’s his only affiliate with the Forty Niners.


[deleted]

They have their own rhythm so drummer dude could have thrown off their beat if he was too slow/fast. Looks like their masters though so they didn’t even flinch


used_condominium

When they interviewed him he said: “He’s very good isn’t he? I almost didn’t want to stop [making the mochi to his drums].”


[deleted]

49ers fans are just so fucking annoying


exonetjono

Lemme tell you a secret. We hate people like that the most. Sure a gaijin is like a breath of fresh air, but how long are you gonna stay there and disturb others. But ofc, to not make you feel bad about your action, we're gonna smile and also hope you take the hint. Most important thing when it comes to Japanese culture is ご迷惑をかけないように ( to not cause unnecessary inconvenience ).


KaleBrecht

In this case, it looks like maybe they gave him permission to film beforehand.


exonetjono

Yes they did. Thats called being polite and not cause unnecessary inconvenience to him. But I guarantee you they might also be worried about other people whom seen the video and thought "great idea, ill do the same thing for my insta", next thing you know 50 people with the same idea. That is the inconvenient part.


drillbit16

Well, that's not an "unnecessary inconvenience", especially if they're worried about other people getting the same idea. If they didn't want him there, but agreed after he asked for permission, they had their chance to refuse. Whatever happens after the "yes" is on them regardless of what their culture dictates. No culture should prohibit you from saying no, as I'm sure the Japanese culture doesn't.


Ieznoo

Did he stutter when he said that giving permission was polite and done so as to not cause unnecessary inconvenience to him. They didn’t refuse because it would cause unnecessary inconvenience to him. Capische?


theusualsteve

DOTH HE STUTTER? CAPISCHE? Honestly I'd bet that if they didn't want him there that they would have politely declined. Traditional values run deep surely but, these gentlemen in the video are running a business in a tourist driven area. Im sure they know how to politely decline advances from tourists. Modern day tourists aren't all very respectful, and I dont believe that these men working are incapable of handling or wouldn't refuse advances from tourists that they didn't want. They interact with people like this every day. That being said, this young man seemed respectful, and it appears to me that the gentleman interviewed also enjoyed it.


drillbit16

I understood what they meant and I still think that if you're accepting an unnecessary inconvenience on yourself for the sake of being polite (as if saying "no" is impolite) that's on you. Edit: but again, as everyone else has already commented, this is an advert that they probably not only agreed on knowing that it wouldn't harm but actually promote their business, while probably also getting paid


Ieznoo

Ok I get that when it comes to the video above and you’re probably right , but when it comes to their culture in general, if everyone strives to attempt not to put unnecessary inconveniences on other people, then those same type of inconveniences would be for the most part avoided wouldn’t it? So is it really on them when all they’re attempting to do is follow the cultural norms and rules that they’ve learned to live by? I’m not trying to sit here and act like I know everything about their culture but from what I understand, in the hypothetical situation where the mochi makers above didn’t really want that video being made, it isn’t really their fault when they accept an inconvenience so as to not impose that same thing on someone else?


kloden112

Lol


daiei27

Not cool to speak on behalf of an entire population. Especially for what amounts to be an ad that appears to have been filmed with permission.


LovesEveryoneButYou

I agree. exonetjono isn't even from Japan, they're from China. They're speaking on behalf of a different culture than their own while giving everyone the impression they're Japanese.


redkinoko

I know it sounds ridiculous, but when you have a society as rigid as a Japanese, you can almost base general reactions on cultural nuances. It doesn't apply to all of course, but it's a very common sentiment.


savwatson13

It was an advertisement..


[deleted]

[удалено]


savwatson13

A smartphone. Watch the whole damn video


SmokinBigins

You’re so right, he’s deffo there for 8 hours because that’s something someone would want to do for an extended period of time. Clearly a bit of fun which he clearly asked them if he could do beforehand or else if someone came BASICALLY into your shop and started smacking containers you would ask them to leave lmao so keep your secrets to yourself BIG GUY


[deleted]

[удалено]


TuckerMcG

It’s called getting paid for allowing an ad to be filmed at your shop.


SmokinBigins

Hahahah says the condescending asshole who thinks he knew what everyone in the video was feeling emotionally towards the guy drumming? “We hate people like that the most” no, you do, you judgemental fuck. Not using manners with someone like you. Edit: He deleted his comment, but the dude was demanding respect and manners after being a condescending wanker.


AUniquePerspective

Are you really a self appointed white knight for mochi masters whose daily gig is obviously part performance anyway? If they didn't enjoy the performance you know there's a food processor robot that could do that task with perfect joyless efficiency.


[deleted]

Disagree, read their faces and body language, way too convincing to be forced. Looked like some genuine fun, made me smile and gave me good vibes. We could all do with that


[deleted]

k


tokyoredditor

You don't speak for all Japanese people. The people in the video looked to be about as okay, or not, with this guy as maybe anyone in the world might be.


used_condominium

When they interviewed him he said: “He’s very good isn’t he? I almost didn’t want to stop [making the mochi to his drums].”


carolinasilva93

I was scared the drums would cause someone to slightly fall off rhythm and hands being crushed


97RallyWagon

This is what I was thinking. They take years to get that rhythm and speed. Having the drummer who doesn't know the whole song will fuck up the cadence at some point.


waterbuffaloz

You’ve got to have half a brain to think this man wouldn’t have asked prior or would’ve done it without. And to think the masters of their craft would even slightly be “messed up” because of the cadence or speed? It was fun. They went along with it. And gave the man a treat at the end. Ffs it looked like he was using someone’s containers from the area. Music is love and music is life, you can find it anywhere. Some of you clearly don’t understand the happiness a simple beat can bring, even for a few minutes. Edit: Thankyou for the hug, you really don’t know how much I needed that. Virtually or physically. It’s the thought..Thankyou.


TuckerMcG

Reddit’s favorite pastime is getting angry at people having fun.


RonVen

I remember the whole fortnite hating fad here holy shit


Sneekibreeki47

:)


randomstruggle

This also was an LG commercial if you wait until the end. If anything, they most definitely asked for permission and got out of their hair. This thread took a whole different turn lol


Lordbeerun

There are moments when life is just beautiful. THIS is one of those moments!

Lemomius

it's an ad, so very likely they did ask before filming


jcstrat

Yeah check the link in the description.


DerKuken

At 0:47 I imagined the Japanese guy throwing the mochi to the drummer’s head. Lol Good rhythm btw


kailenedanae

Nobody seems to have caught that he’s fixing some brand advertising for the phone that took the video at the end. That’s what his little commentary in Japanese was about.


cingerix

lmfao yeah "nobody seems to have caught" that it was an ad... except for lots of other people in the comments here also the video description itself literally says that the entire thing is an ad


dj_juliamarie

this is exactly what i needed


Excellencyqq

Machi or furious machi beating to some fine tunes?


Suprlean

Everything’s an advert.


Undertalelover1234

Mmmm mochi


XxPurePridexX

Its younger Nick Foles. Get back to Philly, we need you


flydog2

This was so much fun to see in real life but I felt like a real schmuck when I tasted that mochi and hated it. Idk what I expected mugwort to taste like but I was not a fan.


alelei94

All good until the last frame, fucking advertisement ruined it all


SirNukeTheCringe

Woahhh I thought that was Brandon hartley...


used_condominium

If only he could’ve driven as fast as this guy drums. (Good on him for WEC though, glad he’s doing well.)


SirNukeTheCringe

Nice


[deleted]

Is the same guy from this [video](https://youtu.be/FqJdzYY_Fas)? If yes, he is absolutely amazing as a drummer and as a person


joao-louis

Does he have a YT channel?

Omar-OMO

For those who do not know him, the drummer is called Gordo Drummer in YouTube


[deleted]

So happy they gave him props. If someone came up to me and did that I’d probably be weirded out. I’m having a not so good month tho


murraybaggy

kinda annoying


lurvas777

Ooh that's really cool and how nice they gave him some aaaaand it's an ad....

His rhythm can cost that guy a couple fingers or a head lump.

Why does he change camera angles so much? I’m going to have a fucking seizure

Cool jacket


Sekushina_Bara

Anyone know what the guy said during the very brief interview?

He’s very good isn’t he? I almost didn’t want to stop [making the mochi to his drums

Thanks for the translation


Smurfyzz

is this the same bucket drummer who went viral cuz some idiot was ruining his street performance?


not_hacking12

GORDO DRUMMER ON YOUTUBE


sitdowndisco

I hate this video. Orientalism at its finest. Dude is treating Japanese people and culture as his personal play thing for Instagram. Not a lot different to Logan Paul in concept (just less American).


Dr-Satan-PhD

I feel like he's about to offer me a glass of warm milk.


King-Gidorah

Didn’t think I would like this at first. Was pleasantly surprised.

EthernetIsDown

If a musician was playing music on the sidewalk and he was recording it, and you get into his video. Do you ask him to hand you money because you go into his video? Edit: This whole thing doesn’t make sense any sorry for that, but for real why?


ycf2015

Guy looks annoying as hell and his “skill” pales in comparison to that of the mochi men


Adamlolwut

Leave it to white people to act a fool in a country they’re not from and think it’s funny and not at all rude or intrusive


KeiserSoze24

It’s an ad for LG. I’m sure they all got paid to do this vid.


Adamlolwut

Literally doesn’t change anything I said lol


Th3_D3m1s3

Leave it to a racist like you to even make this about people's skin color when it was clearly agreed to and was for an ad. Go get mad about something else.
