Japanese Youtubers Part I: Moonkey4U

When you’ve ridden the youtube village tricycle a few times, you’ll realize that there are a bunch of undeserving popular folks, and just as many talented unpopular ones. Moonkey4U falls into the latter category.Though Moonkey provides a variety of different videos, all of them are of high quality. Sometimes he just talks into the camera (great for Japanese listening practice – he’s a quick talker), sometimes he goes places and takes you with him (great for learning about Japanese culture and people), and other times he’ll do something completely confusing (good for variety, I suppose). All-in-all, Moonkey is going to be a great subscription for the youtubers reading on this site. I highly encourage you to check him out.
I don’t remember how I originally stumbled upon him (though I think it was through maxdesu’s subscription page), but I remember being immediately fascinated by his videos. This is why I subscribed:
- He’s a very fast, crisp, and fluent Japanese speaker. I watch his videos and practice my Japanese listening. You can’t do this with every video you come across. Moonkey’s Japanese is good Japanese, not like the stuff you find in anime or yakuza films.
- He’s a really nice guy. If you write him a comment, he’ll write you something meaningful back…though, I’m not sure how this works in English. From what I can tell his English is poor at best. Why not try commenting to him in Japanese?
- He’s got that special something. All his shots are well planned out, no matter how simple they are. He’s good at setting up scenes and framing things up. A little planning goes a long way. It makes everything more enjoyable to watch.
Here are a couple of my favorites. Just remember, there are so many more videos out there. If you like his videos, you should subscribe to him and watch more:
…and…
I hope you enjoy Moonkey4U as much as I have (so far). He comes out with videos fairly regularly – so you’re never kept waiting too long. If you like him, please be sure to comment on his page and tell him! I’m sure he enjoys hearing from all sorts of people, he seems like that kind of guy.

haha. Death Note… NEVER finished it… :
For some reason, I never saw these updates till today… maybe cause I restarted my comp and updated IE or something with cookies or something. :( But yeah, I clicked on home after being in the “extras” page and then I saw these two updates. Damn, I feel like a dork for not knowing…
I like the first video! I thought it was funny, but not really sure what it was about. Then the second one was a quick video response to something. Haha.
Cool youtuber though.

This is good study material indeed. I’m at the point where the shuriken just embedded itself… in my forehead. Any good study material is nice. Thanks.

His voice in the second vid. sounds like from an anime o.o (even more so with the music) but maybe it’s just me.
