Black Man With Flawless Japanese Shares His Journey in Japan (Black in Japan)

Yo thanks for having me on the channel once again for the much needed update! Japan has been super kind to me and I hope this has given everyone a bit of a window into everyday life here!

Man. I keep telling people. There are SO many talented foreigners in Japan barely getting by. I met this brother before, and I’m so glad he didn’t give up.

Notice how the body language and voice changes when interacting with the Japanese Michael meets and greets. That's how you adapt in Japan (Note when he said "...and I learned the rules" - very short, but that sums it up). If you go there throwing your weight around, that's what will get you negative reactions and push-back, not your physical appearance. Mind you, they aren't fans of tattoos lol. But it's great to see how he's been able to accomplish his dream. He won't have to worry about it being outsourced or replaced by AI for a long time, Japanese like hands-on, human service. Also, that establishment with the 80s and 90s vibe, I find when I've visited Japan, I get a strange nostalgia vibe. And I only started visiting in the last 10 years. It's that vibe that makes me long to return, it's like comforting in a sense, even though I don't speak Japanese very well, I feel like I've 'come home'.

Nah man I really fw this dude. Fully embraced Japan while staying true to who he is as a black man

I am a 75 yrs old and totally impressed by Michael. All the best for 2024 and beyond.

I started watching and had to watch to the end. He has a great story I hope my Japanese will be as good as his one day He has a great rapport with the Japanese people he meets

what a great turn around story. God bless both of you in your Creative journeys. May you both continue to prosper.

Michael is incredibly interesting and inspiring me to go harder for my business!

Nothing but the best and brightest vibes in this video. So glad to hear an update❤️

Michael is so wise. He has learned what matters in life. Love that "Hey Mama, how are you doing"! Praying that the Lord will continue to bless both of you and your family. Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday Season!

Respect bro you should come to our restaurant jollof kitchen in Nagoya. Hoping to see you there one day.

Listen brother I completely relate to be happily married & ignore temptation. I'm an actor now, use to run a modeling agency in Santa Barbara now living in Hawaii but ran into this clip. I am from East Los Angeles - moved to Hawaii where I met my Japanese wife & now recently bought a 1/2 acre lot with 4 2 story buildings including 12 bdrm main house in Shiga - Hikone area. Preparing for retiring & DIY my home - I keep it very real and welcome you both & yours to stop by if in the area. Still learning language but having a Japanese wife makes it much easier. I hear both of you guys & Im a good judge of character don't care who you are or what you do just looking for good friends I can kick it with when Im there. Maybe just throwing poles in the water in Lake Biwa & talking story. Let it marinate & hit me back. Hope you guys okay from that 7.6 earthquake sad to hear so many died. :{

Respect ✊🏿. I wish this brother the best 💯

Wow 😮 @4:19 Shows Michael working on our video for "Stay". Super humble and cool guy that I would like to call a friend. Extremely proud of him and his journey, so much talent and drive

I love watching this. I can see the dreams being fulfilled and the contentment gleaming through your guest's face. It's contagious. It's beautiful.

What a great young man! And this is a super update on his life after the first video about him 4 years ago.

Man I couldn't stop smiling watching this. I spent 2 great months in Misawa, and I will come and visit this year!
