Japan & UK - Comparing English Train Announcements Between Native Country and as a Foreign Language

Welcome to Yata-Tetsu's Sub Channel! Have you ever visited Japan, where you can find lots of 'translated' English messages? Japan, a country located in East Asia and formed of more than 6,000 islands, is one of the most famous tourist's destinations in the world. Due to the dramatical increase of foreign tourists visiting Japan in the 2010's, train operators jn Japan had to adopt English messages into their passenger information systems then... something went wrong and finally the cities in Japan are full of unnatural English messages -- actually they all make sense but sometimes they are redundant. This video compares some of the real examples of Japanese English messages from train announcements all over Japan with ones from London.
