Sorry that I haven't made a video for a long time.

委婉語氣表達希望、渴望

I've been getting questions about Avril's video so today I'd like to share my thoughts

First of all, I don't listen to her songs at all and don't know much about her so I

never thought I would make a video about her.

The only reason why I made this video was because I saw comments that say something

like "This is freaking offensive to Japanese people" "She's racist!" or whatever along

So it got me think "What the hell" is she saying in that racial discrimination song

So I clicked the link and the title says "Hello Kitty,"

And I played the song and the first thing she said was

みんな最高、ありがと、かわいい、かわいい。

So I listened to song to the end, thinking what other Japanese words she would say.

So I didn't really understand which part was supposed to be offensive to us when I listened

So I looked up what people are saying about her being racist.

And it seems like they didn't like the backup dancers, which I kind of agree.

I mean they're all dancing with this serious mask on them the whole time.

But the funny thing was, I couldn't stop looking at them because they were so strange.

They drew my attention more than the main singer did, which was very successful.

They were indeed strange to me but I didn't think it was racist toward Japanese people.

I looked up other Japanese people's reactions to this video, and as far as I could find,

almost all of them were saying the same thing as me.

"I didn't like the video but I didn't get offended.

Another argument goes, "She's just using Japan as an accessory.

She's not respecting Japan and doesn't actually have an interest in it--she only used it to

Well first of all, this video was directed by a Japanese person.

And even if he wasn't Japanese, I don't even care because this is just a music video.

Our music videos in Japan are like this, too.

Is she not allowed to make a Japanese music video because she's not Japanese?

This is just my opinion, and it's also a very common opinion among Japanese people, but

it seems like some people in Western countries are always saying this is racist, that is

And as for this Avril's video, it's almost like those people are saying we're too stupid

to realize this video is offensive, and they have like "I shall be angry for them!"

If you want to call things racist I guess that's fine, it's none of my business, but

you don't need to do that for Japanese people, because we don't think this video is racist

or offensive You don't have to be so considerate and kind

And by the way, I have also seen comments over the past two years saying the same thing

Usually when they complain, they complain about our first username, which is MyHusbandisJapanese,

but like I have said before, I'm the one who chose that name.

We have a famous manga here called ダーリンは外国人, or My Darling is a Foreigner.

So I first picked "My darling is Japanese" but it was already taken by someone else so

I changed one word and turned out to be "My husband is Japanese".

No one in Japan ever complained about the name for it, so I don't really understand

But if you want to complain, you have to blame me because I chose it.

I changed it to Rachel and Jun but we couldn't change it on smartphones so it's still MyHusbandisJapanese.

But again I am not offended to have this name because I named it.

If you still think Rachel's to blame, you're barking up the wrong tree.

Thank you for watching and see you guys later.
