Outlines
π LBHs in Japan: The Misunderstanding of Success with Japanese Ladies
In this paragraph, Young James from Tokyo, Japan, introduces the topic of 'LBHs' or 'Losers Back Home,' a term popularized by a UK-based content creator named Liado TV. The term refers to men who are unsuccessful in their home country but find success in Japan, particularly with a subgroup known as 'gajin hunters.' These hunters are individuals who seek out foreigners due to various reasons, such as fetishization or a desire to learn English. James clarifies that not all foreign men in Japan are successful with Japanese women but rather with this specific subgroup. He emphasizes that while some may view this success negatively, he sees nothing wrong with foreigners finding appreciation in Japan, even if it's based on being a foreigner.
π The Frustration of Being Overlooked: A Reaction to a Video on LBHs
This paragraph delves into the reaction of an unidentified woman who seems angry about the situation of LBHs in Japan. The woman, described as having a 'Karen Vibe,' is upset that foreign men, referred to as 'Sheldons,' are not giving her attention and are instead focused on Japanese women. James suggests that her frustration may stem from her own lack of success in attracting these men and speculates that she might be upset because she is not receiving the attention she desires. He also addresses the broader issue of fetishization and the different standards of attractiveness between Japan and other countries, noting that in Japan, there is a specific fascination with foreign features.
β οΈ Warning Against Seeking Relationships for Visa Benefits in Japan
In the final paragraph, Young James issues a strong warning against foreigners coming to Japan with the sole purpose of finding a wife or girlfriend to obtain a spouse visa. He argues that doing so puts the foreigner in a position of vulnerability, as they would be entirely dependent on their partner for legal status and support. James emphasizes the importance of not sacrificing one's rights and power in a relationship for the sake of staying in a country. He also promises to create another video to further discuss this issue and ends with a call to action for viewers to send him topics for future videos via Instagram or to join his Discord server for a small fee.

Transcripts
what's up y'all young James coming at
you once again from Tokyo Japan today we
are going to be reacting to a video
again however this video is in English
it's not actually in Japanese however it
is still about Japan I don't know if you
guys have ever heard of lbhs LBH losers
back home but it's a term that's been
quite overused overused and used quite
liberally here in Japan recently I
believe it was popularized by liado TV
who is a really funny Foreigner I
believe he's from the UK he lives here
and speaks great Japanese he makes
content I don't know if he coined the
term or he just popularized it but
regardless everyone's talking about lbhs
lately everyone's talking about losers
back home and this girl this this young
lady here is talking about LBH is on uh
I don't know if this is on Twitter
originally or this looks like it was on
Tik Tok but I just saw that this someone
posted this onto Twitter and I watched
like the first 20 seconds of the video
and I thought it was kind of funny so I
want to react to it and without further
ado let's let's get into it and let's
let's see if she's spitting facts or if
she's spitting
trash in Japan there is a term for men
who aren't necessarily successful with
the ladies in their home country that's
right that's why we say losers back home
because back in their home country
they're not successful maybe they lack
social skills maybe they're dorky they
can't get ladies and they come to Japan
and they are really really successful
with the Japanese ladies let me pause
this right here she says they are really
really successful with the Japanese
ladies this fellas this is Cap these
gentlemen who are losers back home they
come to Japan they may be successful
they may find success that they did not
find in their home country but that is
not with the Japanese ladies that is
with the gyin hunters guyene Hunters
I've talked about this before a specific
subgroup of Japanese people or could be
foreign people in in general but it's
it's gy a Japanese word people who are
hunting foreigners because they have
some type of fetish about foreigners
because they want to learn English often
because they have been rejected by their
own country's people often because
they're crazy I don't know if you guys
know about this but like bullying is
quite a problem here in Japan they
always say that like men bully each
other and they bully women a lot and if
girls like even do small things like dye
their hair Japanese men reject them if
girls maybe go to therapy cuz they have
trauma
Japanese men reject them like Japanese
men are very picky about things so often
a lot of these girls will just turn to
foreigners they'll try start trying to
learn English to be accepted by more
open-minded people now is that a bad
thing I don't think so at all want to be
clear I don't think that's a bad thing
however when she says these lbhs come to
Japan they're very successful with the
Japanese
ladies not really true not really true
they are successful with the guing
hunters the ging Hunters are a small
percentage 10 5%
5% of Japanese women or
men and by the way that does not mean
that anybody that dates a foreigner any
Japanese person that dates a foreigner
is a gajin hunter also doesn't mean
gajin Hunters are bad people there's
overlap obviously if anyone's going to
be in the comments like oh I know
somebody who dated a Japanese girl and
and she wasn't a guing
hunter the outliers don't disprove the
rule anyways let's let's let's keep
going so first of all this she's wrong
on that but she is right about lbhs if
you are a loser in your home country you
can't get any attention you can come to
Japan and you can find someone who will
like you just for being a foreigner and
if you are okay with being fetishized
like that I see nothing wrong with it be
my guest go where you are appreciated go
where you are wanted if you guys want
that coochie and and the coochie is only
coming to you just because you're a
foreigner your name may be Sheldon you
may have never gotten anything back in
your home country I see nothing wrong
with it guys go where you are
appreciated and this term is LBH or
losers back home so these LBH are losers
back home they would not slay at home
like in the US but in Japan they slay
and believe me they they do not slay
they slay the GUI Hunters which are very
easy and they've been passed around by
every single other dude named Sheldon
who weighs 135 lb soak and wet pizza
face Sheldon they've been passed around
by every single Sheldon out there who
has come to
Japan now am I being am I am I overe
exaggerating am I being a douchebag yes
of course but a good amount of them are
going to be like that believe me I've
I've I've had my run-ins with them and
additionally it's kind of like I said
man a lot of a lot of these these people
will be rejected by the traditional by
the Japanese people and then they turn
to foreigners because foreigners will
accept them and obviously does that mean
that they're all bad people but a lot of
times they're a little bit crazy or
there's a reason they were rejected and
yeah know I know men who have a roster a
roster of Japanese
women why is this girl so angry like
she's got that like Karen Vibe you know
you know that Karen Vibe how something
like there's nothing more rage inducing
than a chick who's like she's not just
angry she's like doing the smile thing
while she's like talking angrily about
something that clearly pisses her off
it's like it's like when she's like
excuse me excuse me yeah yeah there was
a fly in my food yeah there's nothing
that pisses me off more than that if
you're if you're going to be angry if
you're going to be talking about some
[Β __Β ] that pisses you off just just be
honest with it this whole like oh and
and they come to Japan and she's clearly
upset this girl this girl seems to be
clearly upset that she's not getting
that attention if she's in
Japan a lot of like I know American
girls who have done the same thing they
come to Japan and they realize they
don't like the men here and then they
realize the foreign men that are here
are a bunch of sheldons and then they're
upset like that also and then they
realize even the Sheldon ain't giving
them attention because the Sheldon are
interested in the Japanese girls and
even if they don't want to [Β __Β ] the
sheldons they still want that attention
and when they're not getting that
attention it pisses them off and then
they they make videos making fun of
losers back home which like I said
before I don't really have anything
against losers back home like if you
guys are going to where you're
appreciated and you're and you're
getting something dude good on you man
all props to you more power to you but
this girl this girl seems to be upset
she she might be a really nice lady and
maybe I'm a douchebag but she seems to
be upset and and maybe that's maybe it's
because she looks like an Animaniac not
sure but uh let let's
continue some of these men have been
with hundreds hundreds multiple hundreds
not true She is totally capping this
girl is totally capping and like I said
she is probably upset cuz she's here and
in Japan and she's not getting attention
from the Sheldon and she's like how come
these lame dudes aren't even giving me
attention they're only given the
Japanese women
attention Japanese women and it shocked
me but now I get it you come to a land
where the girls are known for being
fetishized by Foreign men and then you
come there and then you get upset that
they don't give you
attention the men that come here are
often just trying to get the Japanese
women cuz they're they're fetishized
they're obsessed with the Japanese women
they just want that anime
coochie I guess if you're an Asian woman
that grew up in an Asian country and is
only used to seeing Asian people maybe
you are very intrigued by a white guy
that's true and that is very true for
third world countries talking about the
Philippines we're talking about Vietnam
they see the the the Great White Hope
they see the white guy they see the
money in Japan it's not exactly the same
they have a great standard of living
here they're not seeking that green card
to go back to your country and and and
be saved from their poor country not
really the same there are like I said
there are the gaji hunters here there
are the people here that just seek out
foreigners and are obsessed with
foreigners and they will only like you
cuz you have blonde hair and blue eyes
but it's not a large percentage of
people
here so there is a difference in
standards in the US if you were to ask
who's the hottest male Hollywood actor
you'd probably hear Bradley Cooper Brad
Pit uh but in Japan they say it's I love
I love me some Brad Pit I don't know
about y'all Eddie red B all right who
the who the hell what did she say Eddie
red who the hell is Eddie
redvan it's Eddie
red I don't know what she's talking
about I've never heard of that
dude but I have heard Japanese women
talk about how they love Brad Pit so I
don't know what she's talking about but
who the hell is Eddie redvan Ed Eddie
redm
hold
on yo all right she was spitting she was
spitting with this one cuz this look at
this dude bro this
guy this [Β __Β ] guy looks ex like when
I say Sheldon like the type of foreign
white dude that comes to Japan this is
Sheldon and this is like a like a
slightly goodlook version of Sheldon but
this is Sheldon this is this is is the
this is the prototype for the white dude
that comes to Japan and she cooked with
this one I ain't going to lie she was
spitting here and let me just say this
Dude Looks So British it's not a
compliment but he looks so British and
he is British
right

So
British and and yeah she cooked here I
ain't gonna lie so shout out to this
girl I I apologize for being kind of a
douchebag to her
um she actually like legit even though
she looks like an Animaniac she's kind
of pretty she's kind of pretty and and
I'm sure she's a nice girl but uh I do
apologize for having to go in on her a
little bit for for trolling her a little
bit and yeah but regardless uh those are

an LBH a loser back home here in Japan
and also guys I'm going to make another
video on this but whatever you do do not
do not do not I repeat do not come to
Japan for the purpose of finding a wife
or a a girlfriend but let alone a wife
do not come to Japan for the purpose of
trying to find a wife let alone to get
their spouse visa so you can stay here
terrible idea terrible idea you're
giving up all of your rights all of your
advantages all of your power in the
relationship you have no power here you
have no power here
and you are entering 100% into the
woman's frame if you come here and you
search for a a a wife to give you a
spouse visa so you can stay in this
country she can cheat on you she can do
whatever the hell she
wants and you have no power because she
holds your visa she holds all of your
rights she speaks the language you need
her to do anything here to do anything
and
everything and it's it's a rant for a
different time I'm going to make an
