Somehow there are many YouTube clips of
Koko ga hen da yo, nihonjin uploaded by Japanese trolls flaming on others. I didn't know they exists until my Japanese buddy sent me a clip few hours ago; saying he was very ashamed of himself for being Japanese and I said "dude, don't".
We can see that miscommunication brews, trouble erupts in some variety show with foreigners today. Nothing's perfect but they could minimalize the impact before it gets worse.
