00:00I'm not offending, but if I go to South India, people are very warm, kind, very, very, very warm.

00:07But if I go to Delhi, lots of scammers, 2-3 lakhs, for 2 days tour, 3 days tour.

00:23I got broke. I don't know, I didn't have no money. Cycles, came out from India.

00:31As a Japanese person, I noticed that lots of Indian people love about Japan, or anime, or Japanese food, Japanese culture.

00:42I am getting many messages from Indian people who want to come to Japan, who want to work in Japan.

00:50I'm buying Indian snacks for my Japanese friend.

00:54Oh!

00:55Jim-jam.

00:56Jim-jam.

01:00It was a nice salary, nice salary, nice with the money.

01:09And I decided to quit the company because I didn't like, I wanted to spend my time for my life, not for the company.

01:18They are doing backpacking around for 30 years, 40 years.

01:33I asked them, like, where should I go for next country after Egypt?

01:38And they both said India. In one second, in a second, it's like a cookie.

01:43You will learn about the life, and maybe it will change your life.

01:54You have a problem, you can ask somebody, that's fine.

01:58Before I went to India, I didn't have this mind.

02:02Before I went to India, I was thinking, like, I can't ask anything with my friends or family.

02:09Indian people do it, and when somebody is doing it with me, I didn't feel bad.

02:14I was thinking, if I ask somebody, they will feel bad.

02:17But people are nice.

02:21It was for one year. When I reached Mumbai, I got a broker on my bank account.

02:27And I don't know, I didn't have no money.

02:30So I couldn't get much from India, actually.

02:35Then I started earning in India.

02:39And as a content creator, maybe collaborating with brands, with restaurants,

02:47and I started to do acting, modeling.

03:00I'm not offending, but if I go to South India, people are very warm, kind.

03:07Very, very, very warm.

03:09But if I go to Delhi, lots of scammers.

03:12But if I go to Delhi, lots of scammers.

03:15For me, no, but for my friends, Japanese friends,

03:19maybe almost everyone got scammed in India.

03:24Like 2-3 lakhs for 2-3 days tour.

03:29I see people, the eyes and the face,

03:33and I can see this person is a nice person, this person is a bad person.

03:39I can see, I think.

03:41So I'm careful, sometimes going with the flow.

03:46But if I feel something wrong or weird, I leave.

03:56It was very difficult, actually.

03:58Because now I have an Indian girlfriend also.

04:02I'm staying with her in Mumbai.

04:05It's so difficult.

04:06I don't have a religion.

04:08And Indians, all Indians have religion.

04:11Maybe 99%.

04:12About food, I get stomachache almost every day.

04:19But I just don't care. It's fine.

04:27For example, in Japan, we wake up around 6.30 a.m.

04:32And eat breakfast 7 a.m.

04:35Reach to office 7.30 a.m.

04:39Start work 8 a.m.

04:42Till 7, 8 p.m.

04:45The view is so different.

04:47I can see lots of buildings right now in Tokyo.

04:50But if I go to Mumbai, I can see the slum area, rickshaw, street food shop.

04:58In Japan, we don't have a street food shop.

05:00In India, I can see veggie restaurant, lots of veggie restaurant.

05:04But in Japan, we don't have a veggie restaurant.

05:07We don't have a spicy food.

05:08Indian food, almost every food is spicy for me.

05:16I love my child.

05:17At least three times every day, I think.

05:20I was eating warapao, honey pudding almost every day.

05:25I love it.

05:26I'm thinking if I can connect Japan and India,

05:30I'll open a ramen shop in India.

05:32But I will not have pork or beef in my ramen shop.

05:36Actually, Japanese ramen uses pork or beef.

05:42Mostly pork.

05:43If I have pork or beef in my restaurant,

05:46I think I will get lots of anti-opinion.

05:50I will make ramen for Indian customers.
