It is a sunny day in Fukuoka City, and I'm here

with a very special guest. - -Hi!

- - Long time no see, yeah? - - Yeah.

- - Welcome back to Fukuoka.

- - Thank you, my second time here.

- - Yeah, no, last time Sharla came

we didn't shoot anything,

but I'm really excited that she's back today,

because we're gonna do a little bit of sightseeing

around the prefecture.

- - [Sharla] Yeah.

- - [Micaela] Gonna show her some of my favorite places,

and if you, like, watch my videos,

you already know I'm taking her to my favorite (cuts off)

- - [Sharla] (laughs)I know all the places you're going

because I see them on your Instagram.

- - I have no originality.

- - It's always the same tour.

I'm so looking forward to it, though.

- - I take everybody on a standard tour

and she's going on it,

but first today, we're gonna head to Kitakyushu

and we're gonna check out some stuff up there.

Kitakyushu and Fukuoka are kind of interesting

'cause they're in the same prefecture

but they're very, very different,

and you'll see why later today.

- - Looking forward to it.

Coffee.

- - Yay!

(upbeat music)

- - [Micaela] And it's quite a long drive.

It's about an hour and a half to our first stop.

I thought this was a good time to ask Sharla some questions.

I tweeted, I was trying to get some good

Would You Rather questions.

I wanted to play Would You Rather, Japan Edition,

with Sharla,

and I asked for some questions,

and not many people contributed.

- - (laughs)

- -They only responded to my questions,

but I will ask them to Sharla anyway.

Would you rather eat natto every day

for the rest of your life--

- - Whatever the other option is.

- - Or never eat mochi again?

- - Never eat mochi again.

- - Really?

- - Yeah, I can't handle the natto.

- - (speaking foreign language)

- - I can't do it.

- - Really? - - Yes.

- - You don't like natto?

- - No, not at all.

Like I can't even eat a little bit of it,

so eating it everyday would just be like

the worst way to spend my life.

- - I wouldn't mind eating natto every day.

I wouldn't love it, but I think I could probably like--

- - Would you ever eat it, like, voluntarily?

- - Yeah. - -Really?

- - Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Not every day, but, like, I have in the past.

I think you can probably jazz it up with different

ways of eating it. - Yeah.

- Everyday, I think if I had to eat it everyday

I would get creative with how was eating it.

- Yeah, definitely.

- Would you rather be (speaking in foreign language)

every time you opened your mouth,

or only communicate is single

English words and awkward games of charades?

- God, well I feel like we're already

(speaking in foreign language) every time we open

our mouths so I'm kinda used to it.

So I'll go with the first one,

it would be horrible to speak English.

Yeah.

- Yeah, I think the awkwardness of the second one

is what makes it a deal breaker for me.

- Yeah.

- I don't like awkward conversations.

- Yeah.

- Would you rather put umeboshi on your eyeballs,

or walk in shoes filled with ikura?

- That sounds kinda cool, I choose the ikura shoes.

(laughing)

It's be squishy and nice.

- Ugh.

- (continues laughing)

- You're sick.

Would you rather be forced to use a fax machine

or a work computer still running Windows XP?

- (laughing) I don't mind Windows XP.

It was decent, Windows XP.

- Windows XP

- I hate fax machines.

- I know, fax machines are dumb.

- I hate them. - Phase them out (mumbles)

- Please.

- Would you rather never be able to try new drinks

and snacks at conbinis, or never be able

to eat kaiten zushi again?

I feel like this one, you'd-

- -I'd prefer drinks and stuff from combini.

- -Yeah. - -So.

- -I think it's easier to be

be vegan that way. - -I wouldn't be able to

give that up.

(both laughing)

- -I did zushi, there's not very many

things that I eat there anyways.

- -Yeah. I have always said that kaiten zushi

is the McDonald's of sushi.

- - So like, if you wanna get a burger, get a good burger.

- - If you want to get sushi, get good sushi.

- - Yeah, exactly.

- - Kaiten zushi always feels really cheap,

and, like, not fresh to me.

- -Yeah, I used to not care.

I used to think it was amazing.

- -Yeah, I mean the price, I guess, is really good.

- -When you're a student.

- - Yeah.

Would you rather only use chopsticks

for the rest of your life or only use fork

only use a fork for the rest of your life?

- - I'd like chopsticks

Lots of things are easier to eat with chopsticks,

like salad, I love-

- - Salad is surprisingly good, that's true.

Chopsticks are surprisingly versatile,

and you can do a lot with them.

- - The only thing that would be hard would be a dessert,

like a pudding or something,

but other than that,

it's pretty easy to eat anything with chopsticks.

- - Pudding I just shove it in my mouth

- -(laughing)

- - Just drink it.

- -[Micaela] So we are now at the border

between Fukuoka and Yamaguchi prefecture.

There she goes.

- - [Sharla] Got one leg in each prefecture.

- - [Micaela] (laughing)

She's doing it.

(upbeat music)

- -[Micaela] We are in Shiminoseki.

We've crossed the bridge over to Honshu,

and Sharla and I- - - [Sharla] It's so weird,

- -[Micaela] Are checking out-

- -[Sharla] on a new island.

- - [Micaela] Yeah, we left Kyushu-

- -[Sharla] It was so quick.

- - [Micaela] I was like, "I'm gonna take

Sharla around Kyushu!" and then we left.

- - (laughing)

- - [Micaela] So... - -[Sharla] It's nice though.

I'm glad we came here - -[Micaela] Yeah.

We're gonna walk around the Karato Ichiba area.

This has one of the biggest fish markets.

I can't even say the biggest fish market in Kyushu,

'cause it's on Honshu, but

- -[Sharla] Yeah, in the area. - -[Micaela] The biggest

fish market close to Fukuoka.

This is a great day-trip out of Fukuoka,

if you're looking for something to do

when you're spending a long time in Fukuoka

and you want to make a day-trip out of the city.

I really like this.

So, It'll be fun to look around with Sharla.

So, I've picked a few sushi to try here

that look really, really good,

and we're probably gonna sit outside and have them,

and then we're gonna head over to the other side of

Karato Ichiba, and see if there's anything else

interesting to try so that

Sharla can have something to eat too.

(laughing)

(upbeat music)

- -[Micaela] What did we find?

- -Thank you.

Gelato!

- -[Micaela] What flavors did you get?

- - Raspberry and blood orange.

Oh, it smells so good.

- -Would you rather have a salaryman falling asleep

on your shoulder once a day on the train,

or eat level ten Coco Curry once a week?

- -Every day, for the rest of my life?

I think I would trade myself to eat spicy food.

- -Really? I would let him sleep.

It's nice to feel needed.

- -Ooh, no!

- -Would you rather visit a maid cafe with a bunch of

creepy anime fans, or a snake cafe and have to hold

several snakes at all times?

- -Snakes!

I love snakes, sounds great!

- -Does he mean, like, at all times forever though?

- -I would hold them forever. - -I'm always holding snakes?

- -Snakes forever, sign me up.

- -That makes sense.

- -(laughing)

- -I think, I mean, I don't mind holding snakes,

but I don't know if I want to hold several at all times.

That part's very vague. - -I think it just means

while you're at the cafe.

It's like a one time deal.

- -So I could leave the cafe, put the snakes down.

- -Yeah.

- -Yeah, then I'll hold the snakes.

- -(laughing)

- -Okay, would you rather perform as an idol,

or work at a maid cafe?

- -Oh god.

I'm gonna say work in a maid cafe.

I'm really bad at dancing, and there'd probably be less

dancing in the maid cafe.

- - I feel like there's more of a definitive on and off time

if you're working at a maid cafe,

whereas like, if you're an idol

your whole life has to live by the idol code.

- -Yeah, I couldn't handle that.

- -I don't want

to live by the idol code. - -Maid cafe.

I feel like working at a maid cafe could be really fun.

- -It could be fun.

- -Yeah.

- -And I assuming if it's a job

it's something that you could eventually quit.

But then, being an idol, you'd probably have people

following you around forever

even after you tried to quit.

(funky music)

- -[Sharla] Alright.

- -[Micaela] Alright, so Danica, from Twitter,

she wants to know, would you rather only know

Hokkaido Ben and be in Fukuoka,

or only know Hakata Ben and be in Sapporo?

- -I have no idea what Hokkaido Ben sounds like.

- -[Micaela] Me neither, actually.

- -I've never heard it, but I would assume

that people in Hokkaido are used to tourists

since it's such a touristy place,

they'd probably be used to hearing Hakata Ben.

So, I'll go with that one,

speaking Hakata Ben in Hokkaido.

- -Yeah, I think if you spoke Hokkaido Ben

in Fukuoka you'd be made fun of.

- -(laughing)

- -People would be like, "What're you doing?"

But, I know that in other places across Japan,

like in Tokyo, they think that girls speaking Hakato Ben

is actually really cute.

- - Oh really?

- - It's like, attractive.

- - Okay.

- - So, I think I would rather have a Hakata Ben accent.

- -Yeah.

- - I don't, I don't actually,

when I speak Japanese, I don't, but I wish I did.

Would you forever only have squat toilet

for the rest of your life or forever have full,

crowded train as only existing mean of transportation

wherever in the country, even on inaka?
