Just discovered this episode of 日本人の知らない日本語 on the subject of gaijin hunters.
holy sh!t... this is so lame! I wonder if the people who write this crap have met another human....
Its hard to hear the story of a love affair between two straight men
Soooo, what's the moral of the story? Don't eat natto if you're a foreigner?
Not sure if I want to watch this - it won't be good for my blood pressure...
but I will

How much Japanese do you understand? That had nothing to do with "Gaijin Hunters" !
I clicked the link you provided and it was a class setting and they were talking about different nationalities and colors! The black guy and the guy Paul that came at the end of the class were trying to be skivvy. but the woman playing teacher was having none of that! Then there was a scene in a "teachers" room(?) were a blond gaijin (?) woman was asking about buying some guy a necktie.
The woman acting as the class teacher has the hots for Paul but she will not admit it. In the next scene the teacher walks into her class and notices that one student seems to be having some physical troubles, she asks what is wrong and he explains that his back is tight and then the others list their assorted ailments and from there we go to a scene where Paul admits to eating nato yet we never see him actually put the crap in his mouth. The teacher pisses Paul off by bitching about him not attending school and he tells her to get out, when she does she sees Paul's "girlfriend" getting into a taxi and kissing some other guy, so she decides Paul needs to know. She figures out how to get Paul to realize that his "GF" is just a slut.
She does so by enlisting the help of the male students, and there is a scene where Paul by his "GF: that she doesn't like the fact that he eats nato and that she likes "non-Japanese acting gaijins" Poor Paul is heart-broken and wants to go back to England, to become a gaijin for his gf again. The teacher is against that but finally the head teacher tells him "if that what you want go". But the teacher saves the day and gets a bunch of Japanese people to go to Paul's work place and show him that he can be a part of Japanese society. Final scene they are in hung-over and in the teachers room and Paul comes in and lets the teacher know that he knows she got the hot for him and he promises to try much harder in school.
Wow! and you associate this to "Gaijin Hunters"? 3 young girls who want to learn English and a slutty "GF" who wants a non-too Japanese acting" boyfriend? I think you did not see the whole video. I thin the title of your thread should have been "How Japanese tend to meddle too much into what Gaijins are doing" Typical crap that is on late at nights on J-TV. Next time try to find some old "11:00 pm Shows" at least they were more entertaining.

Exactly. The crux of the story was that Paul was only hip with those girls because he was an English speaking foreigner = gaijin hunters. Haruko and the gang set out to prove it and do. The lesson being such girls are not worth it, it's better to have friends who like you for who you really are.
If you don't like it start your own thread! Stop acting like you are the content boss on GP, because you are not! It seems like all you do these days is tell people their threads suck. What a cantankerous old fart!
Are you having a bad day? You are right I am a cantankerous old fart! and that video had nothing to do with "Gaijin Hunters"!
Ithink the real story here is that Japanese TV ha to find better looking actors!
"Am I Calm? I am f***ing ZEN!"
The womanis definitely shallower than a sushi bentos soy sauce dip, so I guess the gaijin hunter stereotype may apply all though loosely! In fact looser than a ....
Ah I had better stop there.
"Am I Calm? I am f***ing ZEN!"
There is an english subs version.

You're totally right, it has nothing to do with gaijin hunting and has more to do with being a copy of that old British drama 'Mind Your Language'' which isn't shown anymore because it's considered racist.
Andun needs to improve his Japanese.
The saddest thing is that Andun probably had a wank over it, creating his imagined narrative.
They don't even know enough about the world outside these tiny parochial islands to know when they are embarrassing themselves with cr@p like that.
They have a Nigerian playing an American. Don't know if that's worse than the cod British accents in Meiji era historical dramas.
To Andun
Seriously kid, should watch the subtitled versions here

Until your Japanese improves. You'll see that Back doorman was totally right on his translation.
Love the fact that it's a Foreigner and not a well behaved local who is taking the priority seat on the bus from the bloody old bat. Of course a Japanese would never do that because they always follow the cultural customs and rules of society... except when they don't feel like it or doesn't suit them or feel like a victim.
