  • These days Japanese girls....

  • Have bigger boobs.

  • Some random people sometimes missunderstand that I am pregnant

  • *gasps*

  • They asked me if Japanese guys would love to lick.... ours.....

  • They tweeted on their Twitter like "oh my god I can die for this anime" or something

  • Hey guys and girls it's CathyCat and today I'm joined by my friend

  • Hiroko from HirokoTV

  • YES and today we are gonna play another game of the Japanese girl Mythbusters

  • I picked up some Japanese girl myths on the internet and

  • I would like you to tell me whether they are true or wrong in your opinion so

  • let's start - Yay let's start.

  • Japanese girls are all very shy

  • - Ah - What do you think?

  • It's kind of true I think - Ok

  • So that one is actually true?!

  • I t's true I mean like it's also changing and it depends on the person

  • of course so not everyone is too shy but I also feel like when I speak in

  • Japanese I feel more shy.

  • Ah so you personality changes when you speak in Japanese. Is it's just because the language is also changing between girls and boys?

  • And also like the way we talk grammatically because we don't tell

  • people from the result when we speaking Japanese right? In English let's say

  • "hey I can't come to the party sorry because my my wife is pregnant" in English.

  • But let's say it in Japanese "hey I would really really love

  • to join your party it sounds amazing but I'm afraid I might not able to come

  • because my wife is pregnant" this is Japanese

  • In a roundabout way.

  • "But please invite me again" that's another thing I got told to always add then. - It's so tricky you know!

  • "Did he mean that or not?" It's so tricky.

  • Coming back to Japanese girls so how do you think they are more shy compared to

  • for example some of your friends from other countries?

  • I found out about that when we were you know drinking together, when I was

  • doing girls night. And I was talking to Swedish girls... and me as a Japanese girl

  • and some other girls from other countries and we were talking about love life....

  • They asked me about "hey how about love life with Japanese boys"

  • but I couldn't really tell them..... to me they were really really aggressive

  • Ah that's very forward that kind of talk right?

  • Or do you mean they were aggressive in their stories?

  • Oh no no talking about that is not aggressive to me it's just fun but

  • when it comes to like ....how much detail should I just tell you?

  • Aah.....?

  • Because you know like they asked me if Japanese guys would love to lick ours ...

  • * I did not expect this answer *

  • I am not sure if we can put that in but keep talking.

  • We wouldn't say "hey please do this do that" to our partners.

  • Japanese girls can't really say that. We we could if we wanted...

  • but we feel shy so I wouldn't say that.... I would say that in my brain like

  • "Go down go down!" or like you know "please do this next!!" or "Oh please don't stop"

  • I can't just say that to my partner. I'm always just wishing that he wouldn't

  • stop or yeah ....

  • I think that that's a difficult one though... it's one thing

  • between male pride of their pride getting hurt when you're

  • telling them "Can you please do this" because then they feel like they might

  • have done something wrong ... and the other part is ... well there is male pride there

  • You don't want to hurt that person's pride but at the same time...

  • If they don't know what they're doing....

  • Then you know...

  • not a bad thing to tell them "hey I prefer it a little bit more like that"

  • I mean like it's always nice to tell what we like truly... It's not about them doing a bad or something.

  • They are doing great BUT...

  • They also ask girls like "hey how do you want it to be done?"

  • "What kind of stuff do you like?!"

  • But we can't really answer in general ... I will just be like oh

  • Aha.

  • I will just be like "Oh that's really great ...!" that's it

  • I'm sorry this is totally going really into detail now I think this might become it's own video in a way...

  • But HOW? It seems like both genders walk past each other

  • the boys don't know what the girls will like and the girls will not

  • be able to tell the boys what they like.

  • Right? - True

  • But it will be really too much details but...

  • there are a few ways (to tell them) I think... yeah

  • But let's not get into that.

  • So Japanese girls are shy...

  • in all areas then it seems like even when you're intimate with someone

  • Japanese girls are still very very shy?

  • I'm also shy so I was really surprised

  • that my girlfriend's from abroad they would say to their partners to do this

  • and that in the bedroom.

  • I was like "Wow seriously how do you do that!?"

  • In a way isn't it better if the partner says "Great now I know what to do!!"

  • Isn't that better? The whole... sexlife goes a lot better then right!?

  • I know but...

  • I don't know ... why I can't just do that. But after talking to the girlfriends from abroad

  • I couldn't really tell all of my ex-boyfriends but... a few of my ex-boyfriend I could tell them honestly

  • "hey to be honest I like this style I like this and that" so yeah thanks to the advices yeah ...

  • Oh so you learned from the foreign girls to voice a couple of your opinions now?

  • Yeah but I am not really a master of it.

  • Try it little by little year... it improves like everything ...

  • So Japanese girls are so shy to almost a flaw that they can't express the things

  • they really want in different areas of life then? - I think so.

  • How is that... everyone keeps mentioning

  • when we interview people with "Shoutaimen"

  • People you meet for the the first time. They're super shy with people

  • they meet for the first time as well then?

  • I mean ... we call that kind of people "Hitomishiri"

  • That's a different type of shyness right? - yeah

  • That kind of people also exist because I'm not at all (hitomishiri)

  • I don't feel shy I can hug like "hey nice meeting you! Let's hug!"

  • Before this Covid19 situation I could do that ....

  • BEFORE that we could...

  • Because I am like this my friends are really open in general

  • so we don't really feel shy but there are of course

  • those kind of (hitomishiri) people exist in Japan so it's true

  • You know know what I find really interesting right now is that you're generally one

  • one of the more outgoing Japanese girls that I know - True.

  • When it goes to the more private parts you were actually super shy I didn't expect that.

  • Before I learned how to speak in English how to communicate in English I couldn't really

  • express how I truly felt to people... like if someone say something bad to me I was

  • like "ah yeah... it's ok..." kind of girl before.

  • But now if someone pisses me off I would say like "hey why did you do that

  • to me I don't like it" because blah blah blah "if you could do this way then I

  • would appreciate it" ... "let's talk about it" I can say that now

  • but deep down true Hiroko is like "should I say that I feel sky"

  • You're overcoming that shy voice now - Yeah

  • Oh what would you say like....

  • helped you to be a bit less shy was that like advice from international girls?

  • Actually yes! I mean it's only for you know bedtime stuff though...

  • Aaah!

  • With other yeah other stuff I'm not really shy you know so I can just ask boys how

  • they feel about me or when I need to ask them I can just confirm them...

  • Good, right. Thank you so much. - I know I am sorry!

  • I hope I didn't cut one of your parts. I think this in itself is already...

  • pretty rounded for a video.

  • The next myth is... Japanese girls all know famous characters from anime manga or

  • games true or false?

  • False. Aha

  • not everyone is into anime or manga.

  • It seems to be that some people especially online seem to be thinking that...

  • Japan is the country of anime, manga and games because this is where they are made but

  • people think that everyone is like watching and everyone is seeing it kind of thing

  • But it's not true many of my girlfriends they don't really watch anime at all

  • Some of their girls party girls would see you know people who would love

  • anime or watch anime or love mangas... they see them as nerds.

  • Because I love watching anime and I love reading manga ... they sometimes called me

  • a nerd "otaku"

  • Otaku as a nerd. So the otaku image has gone a little bit better over the last years

  • though hasn't it? - oh yeah they are, I agree with that.

  • I find it interesting like the girls who were actually into anime and manga

  • that you see who are very open about it tend to also be the ones who have like their own little

  • groups off Otome stuff so actually anime and manga that they like that are aimed

  • towards girls stuff... like sexy boys and stuff so they don't necessarily watch

  • the same stuff that a guy would be watching. It's kind of what I felt...

  • do you think that's like that?

  • Well I am into animes for guys in general though...

  • I love Daemon Slayers, Slam Dunk, One piece, that kind of. - The classics.

  • Yeah so lots of Shonen in there!

  • Yes I'm more into like nerdy anime series these days and I think so many of the good-looking guys for example

  • um like

  • after popular actor guy they they tweet it on their Twitter like "oh my god I

  • can die for this anime" or something ... sometimes so many take to Social Media

  • so people can know that " oh my God my favorite prince loves anime?!"

  • " Maybe anime is not uncool stuff anymore" or something I think

  • It's kind of the image has gotten better since then!

  • Because of people's personal tweets and live-streaming about what they like

  • or something I think

  • Yeah I mean like I've been watching anime manga a lot and

  • I think... that kind of anime manga world ... it's done so much good as wel

  • it helps people study, it helps helps you get motivated or get

  • interested in like a sport or an art watching anime so ...

  • I was surprised when I was here how little of Japanese girls ...

  • ...the average Japanese girl in our interviews actually watches it or at least tells that she's watching

  • it you know I mean. I think they're couple of people like "no no I don't play

  • games" like especially when you're in a group with lots of girls and you kind

  • of think like "at least that one girl over there she might be big geeky I can see

  • a bit of geek in there" but she'll be there like "no no no no"

  • I wonder whether it is peer pressure's also there because it's still kind of still seen as

  • a little bit geeky for some girls and they don't dare to actually say

  • "yes I love this"

  • I don't know I mean maybe but many of my girlfriend's tell me

  • that they are not into manga but I'm sending them my favorite anime series links

  • like spam! "You need to watch this! That!!!" - Yes send me!!!

  • Send me recommendations too! Especially right now when we're all stuck inside it's good to find out what everyone

  • watching I'm gonna send you my list too. I'll send you my list.

  • To wrap this video up Japanese girls are shy true or false true?

  • TRUE!
