I am leraning Japanese! What are some cool Japanese channels on YouTube?
Preferrably content dealing with common people in Japan, daily life, vlogs, culture, or interesting locations. Both urban and rural life are welcome.
I don't know if the Japanese have another website that they use for videos but these can count too.
If there are any other cool channels or websites that don't fit these preferences but that you'd still recommend, please do!
ありがとうごぜいます!

You should set your computer/phone's system language to Japanese if you haven't done so already. That will force you to use the language every day.

I can recommend channels in English, but not Japanese. I’m not sure if you’re open to it but there are tons of JP vtubers I can recommend.

Try setting the UI of a game you like into Japanese then. Two separate friends did it to Minecraft while trying to learn German and Italian

If you don't mind fish gore, Masaru's channel is pretty cool. It's kind of like a cooking channel but most of the focus is on catching and preparing weird fish.

They're all pretty comfy. I'll post some more tomorrow if this thread is still alive.

I've lived in Japan most of my adult life. They have a minimum of 6 years of English in school, so anyone who paid any attention at all will probably be better at it than you are in Japanese and the conversation will be in English and you won't learn anything talking to them. You want to avoid these people and find people who hated English in school.

Luckily, lots of people hate English. This is because public school English class is just as tedious when it's your second language as it is when it's your first. It's all grammar rules and memorization autism. The people who like it are generally not the sort who are fun to be friends with anyway.

To really learn to communicate in a language you need to trigger an "oh fuck" moment in your brain where you either make what you know work or you don't communicate and humiliate yourself. Find a group of people doing something you're interested in and integrate yourself. They'll ask you all sorts of questions because you're different from them and that's interesting. You'll awkwardly grunt choppy sentences back at them and within only a few hours you'll go from well studied but can't speak to speaking fine. I've done it with Spanish and I've done it with Japanese and I've taught Japanese people to do it in English. It's really quite miraculous how fast you learn if you deny yourself any other option.

Reading is a whole different ballgame because kanji make things tough. Don't feel down if your reading level is way below your speaking level. I teach classes entirely in Japanese yet read on a first grade level.

Last but not least, most stuff written about Japan on the internet in English is horseshit. It's either outdated or written from a position of ignorance informed prejudice. A lot of people come here, don't try to integrate or learn the language or get a better job than the shitty migrant worker exploitation jobs you can find in any country, then go home angry, blaming their mistreatment and lack of friends on racism.

Japanese people aren't anymore racist than any other country. In fact they're a lot less than most. However, pointing out differences is small talk in Japanese culture and it's quite jarring to the uninitiated. If you are different, and you are, your differences will be brought up, and as a result you will be called foreign frequently. They do this to each other as well. That's why anime girls are always talking about each other's breasts, they do it in real life too. They also tell people when they are fat, are pretty, smell bad, have a nice ass, and so on. Japanese people are actually quite frank, but they generally do it in a coded way that looks oblique to people who haven't learned the code yet. It's very easy because there's only one code that the whole country follows because national unity. Some people never learn the code and paint the Japanese as eternally inscrutable, meanwhile the Japanese point back and be like "lol that guy's dumb".
