00:00 Ohayo! Mabuhay, boss!
00:02 The Japanese vlogger, Hiwo,
00:04 is not just a blood-type Filipino,
00:06 he's 100% Filipino.
00:08 His love for the Philippines
00:10 reached the point of
00:12 being a fanboy?
00:14 That's the trending prank video
00:18 that his Japanese friends,
00:20 Ryo and Hiro, made.
00:22 It reached 10 million views.
00:24 You can do it!
00:28 Almost all the guys here in the Philippines
00:30 are tall.
00:32 But in Japan,
00:34 we're short.
00:36 So I thought, since their goal
00:38 is to be Filipino,
00:40 even if they're Japanese,
00:42 if they're not tall,
00:44 they're not Filipino.
00:46 So today, we'll make one of my friends, Hiwo, tall.
00:48 He's been here in the Philippines since he was young.
00:52 He's a tall guy.
00:54 In Japan,
00:56 most of the guys,
00:58 most of the men there,
01:00 are not circumcised.
01:02 There's no culture.
01:04 That's why Hiwo
01:06 is a tall guy.
01:08 Does it hurt?
01:10 I'm always scared.
01:12 And I don't want to be alone.
01:14 So I bring Ryo
01:18 to the surgery.
01:20 Yes.
01:22 And he holds my hand.
01:24 It really hurts.
01:26 It hurts?
01:28 Of course it hurts.
01:30 Of course it hurts.
01:32 The anesthesia.
01:34 There's a lot. How many?
01:36 Two?
01:38 Three, four.
01:40 But it still hurts.
01:42 Yes.
01:44 And now, Hiwo is proud to be a tall guy.
01:46 I'm Filipino!
01:48 Long live the new generation!
01:52 Ryo, Hiro, and Hiwa
01:54 are friends
01:56 who grew up in their home country, Japan.
01:58 Hiro used to be a guitarist
02:00 for a band.
02:02 Hiwa worked as an office staff.
02:04 But when the pandemic hit,
02:08 their job was cancelled.
02:10 Fortunately,
02:12 Ryo was able to survive
02:14 and live in the Philippines.
02:16 Because Ryo is half-Japanese,
02:18 half-Filipino.
02:20 They were fully stressed
02:22 especially Hiwa and Hiro.
02:24 They're like fresh grads.
02:26 And I was okay.
02:28 With Ryo's help,
02:32 Hiwa and Hiro
02:34 flew to the Philippines to start again.
02:36 I'm not scared
02:38 because
02:40 we've been friends for a long time.
02:42 When they arrived in the Philippines,
02:46 from driver to instant vlogger,
02:48 they became a mission.
02:50 Our content is
02:52 Japanese becoming Filipino.
02:54 So, me too.
02:56 Of course, for them to be a Filipino,
02:58 of course, from zero.
03:02 So they have to explore
03:04 words, food, everything.
03:06 I'm really bad at Tagalog.
03:08 When I came to the Philippines
03:10 in February 2022,
03:12 that was my first time.
03:14 So, my skill of
03:16 learning the language
03:18 was really bad.
03:20 And also,
03:22 I have zero knowledge of Tagalog.
03:24 What they learned today
03:28 is that chopsticks are the main
03:30 food in Japan.
03:32 Here in the Philippines,
03:34 they're free.
03:36 Are these free?
03:38 Yes.
03:40 Really?
03:42 It's more delicious if it's free.
03:44 Here in the Philippines,
03:46 you use
03:48 chopsticks.
03:50 But don't forget
03:52 to wash.
03:54 Wash, wash.
03:56 Let's eat.
03:58 Itadakimasu!
04:00 If in Japan,
04:12 you greet others,
04:14 especially the elderly,
04:16 in the Philippines,
04:18 you greet your grandparents.
04:20 There are differences.
04:24 There are many similarities.
04:26 In the Philippines,
04:28 if you greet other people,
04:30 "Sorry" is enough.
04:32 It's the same in Japan.
04:34 And the favorite thing is
04:38 when you greet your friends,
04:40 you greet them too.
04:42 That's why the Japanese trio
04:48 came to the Philippines
04:50 with their own band.
04:52 Iwa is the drummer,
04:54 Hiro is the guitarist,
04:56 and Ryo is their lead vocalist.
04:58 But the most amazing thing is
05:00 the first single of the Japanese trio
05:02 is all in Tagalog.
05:04 Can you imagine?
05:06 One of my roommates
05:08 waited for your call
05:10 But why is it like that?
05:12 Why is it like that?
05:14 You didn't answer
05:16 We just released our first single,
05:18 "Kokowa."
05:20 Most of the comments didn't like it.
05:22 We already have like 200,000 views
05:24 on YouTube, and then the comment section
05:26 is like, "Wow, Tagalog
05:28 but it's like anime."
05:30 I hope you can see
05:34 my true feelings
05:38 I'm dreaming
05:40 That's why, Filipino netizens,
05:42 the band's music is also amazing.
05:44 If they have a dream,
05:46 I want to, one day,
05:48 we play in the super big stage,
05:50 the Lucky Big Stage,
05:52 and then all the audience
05:54 sing our song.
05:56 That is my dream.
05:58 Yes.
06:00 It's so good.
06:02 They say that being Filipino
06:10 sometimes is not in the blood,
06:12 but in the heart.
06:14 Like Nariyo, Hero, and Iwa,
06:16 who are not 100% Filipino,
06:18 they are ready to embrace
06:20 the culture of the country
06:22 that they consider as their second home.
06:24 I'm truly in love with you
06:32 with you
06:34 with you
06:36 with you
06:38 with you
06:40 with you
