Hi PF, I was wondering about that myself while watching the video. There are a few other videos by the same guy, I think it's just the way he speaks. You're right though, it's hard to know what to trust these days.
I had a look at his Youtube channel and one of the videos is of his Baptism and Confirmation on Christmas Eve in Japan. It looks to be genuine.
I took a look at most of the 7 videos on his channel because I wanted to see if the actual footage was 100% generated AI. He rearranges his room a lot but the things in them seem consistent e.g. the pink microphone. The way he edits them is very odd with the short phrases and constant jumping every few seconds. But that being said, I think the footage for the most part (apart from a few stock clips) seems genuine to me. I tried reading some of the Japanese on the signs and I didn't see any obvious errors. There is continuity in Sapporo where he lives. There is footage of his baptism, confirmation, etc., that he shares. Given that he has lived in Japan for a very long time (19 years), likely alone, it's not too surprising that he comes across a certain way. In short it is peculiar but I agree with Dave and I think he is genuine and the videos are not 100% generated AI content.
