What's up Asaginators! It's unfortunate that some people get offended by the title although I said in the intro that I'm simply sharing "Japanese brand names you pronounce differently". Please don't take the title as an offence since I choose it just for YouTube algorithm. I appreciate your feedback though!

Japanese: "You are pronouncing our brands wrong!" Also Japanese: "MakUDonArUdO"

FUN FACT: Akio Morita, a founder of SONY, wanted to name the company something that sounded very American. In the late 40’s and 50’s, “sonny” was slang for “young man”. They dropped an ‘N’ and named the company SONY. Thank you for great video!

Thank you for sharing. Love the little history lessons behind the names, too.
-
why is everybody so hurt? she is not judging or even asking you to use the japanese pronunciation, just chill. If you like learning languages you will find this really interesting.

Nissin owners hiding the "h" and waiting for the chance to correct foreign investors during awkward business meetings😂

As a long-time retail worker in Canada, we had many discussions on how to pronounce words; like Nikon and Casio. We had even had representatives from the companies tell us different pronunciations. It was so frustrating. Thank you for these videos! It’s so nice to hear things from a native speaker. 💜
-
Thank you so much for this video. This was so interesting! And I loved to learn the real pronunciation of the words!
-
As long as you don't say "pokeman" we can still be friends.
-
Spanish speaker here, we pronounce almost everyone of these brands as they should be pronounced. Can confirm.
-
I appreciate you creating and posting this video 🙏I enjoyed learning the proper pronunciation and also the knowledge /history as well . Thank you 😌

Having lived in Japan for 12 years, I can see your perspective. A lot of those names have been "Americanized" for the US consumers since the last century, so we have accepted the pronunciation. The same goes true with the Korean brands as well; when I am in Korea, I hear the name brands pronounced differently on local TV.
-
Didn't even know "Asics" was a japanese brand.
-
Looks like I've been pronouncing Nikon correctly the whole time. I'm so proud of myself 😎
-
Great video, I really liked this content! I subscribed because you have great energy, keep it up.
-
Interesting information. Thank you
-
I love how she explains the background story as well ☺️
-
As a mexican I pronounce all this brands just right. The pronunciation it's pretty similar to Spanish.
-
Arabic speaker here and I'm quite surprised of how well we pronounce these Japanese brand names correctly since English isn't our first language, so it's hard to mispronounce most of these
