Osaka People
The following video shows what happens when you pretend to shoot somebody in Osaka. Notice how they react by pretending to be shot ^^;
They also show what happens when you pretend to slice them with a sword too.
The folks in Osaka are said to be more friendly and open than folks in Tokyo. Have been to Osaka once but it wasn't long enough to distinguish whether this was true or not. I personally find folks in Tokyo nice but I guess I see them laugh n smile more when in armor.
is there a region or state in your country where people are more friendly than other states? The people from where I was brought up (Hackey) were right miserable...
Original text from menrui below.
I some how found this funny video on youtube and wanted to share it with everyone. I don't think translation is needed. He basically says "BANG!" to random people and we see their reactions. It is then followed by and imaginary sword slicing thing. I hope everyone enjoys it like I did.
If it were me, I would hold my palms forward and say "no.." a la Matrix.
What would your reaction be?

The Bay Area is generally friendly. Oakland is not a good place in the Bay Area though. You pull off this stunt there, chances are that they'll look at you funny or worse, you may end up being mugged and being dead for good.
Oh. I don't want to know how Southerners or the people up in the north-eastern part of the country would react. You might encounter a mafia or one of those insane guys with a double barrel shotgun.

God, you people who would ruin it are no fun! I'd pretend to get hit and dramatically fall to the ground. Osakans are my kind of people, it's too bad more people can't be as fun as them.

Hilarious video. As to your questions:
Over-generalizing badly, I find people in the West Coast cities of the US (with the exception of LA) to be more friendly than the people of the East (who, to me, come off as being very aggressive). The people in the South and the Midwest are very warm once you get to know them but tend be suspicious of strangers. Portland is a pretty open city. A friend of mine from LA was astonished when a driver waved his hand in apology when he accidentally cut him. That would never happen in LA. Some of the warmest hospitality I've enjoyed from strangers was in a working class area of Chicago.
My reaction would be to try to bend my back, holding my arms apart a la Neo in the Matrix. But that will probably only end in my great embarrassment in subsequent back pain.
Student
It depends a lot on where in the east coast you are. People on the actual coast can be pretty mean, but about 100 miles inland, people are actually very nice. I had a few bad experiences in LA, so I can't be sure as to how most people are further west. :)
College Undergrad (Aerospace Engineering)
Yeah, the west coast is usually pretty chill about stuff like this, and if you're lucky, they'll play along. Sadly, as a former resident of downtown, I'd have to agree with you about LA.
But I'd do it. Seriously, I would. I should spend more time in osaka whenever I get to go to Japan again.

If I encountered the gun thing in Japan, then I would likely fall like the guy at 1:49, except I would fall backwards (at least if I realised what went on quick enough). At the ground I would shoot back :D
It wouldn't be any fun here. The issue here is that some people actually do shoot each other at the street here taking the fun out of the prank.
student
oh awesome, frontpage! my experience points just went through the roof. but i still think my title was a lot catchier, which was also the title of the youtube video. "Osaka Bang!!" hehe.

Still to this day Osaka reminds me of Osaka from Azumanga Daioh. I am really impressed with the cool reactions from the people there. Try this where I'm from and either they will be scared or think your mental.
Student
That was pretty funny.
Over here I don't think people would do that.
I'd pretend to get hit but not super dramatic.=D
Did they try the same thing in Tokyo?
Last time I was in Japan I spent one week in Tokyo, one week in Osaka, and one week in Shikoku. I found that things in Tokyo were generally more overwhelming and impersonal. While I was in Osaka I had a great night out drinking in the Dotonbori area. Despite my lack of Japanese skills I had a great time chilling with the locals who were quite friendly. But maybe I just didn't have a similar experience in Tokyo?...
If you want to stay cheap in Osaka I would suggest the Shin-Imamiya, Kamagaski area. This is the Day-Labourers district and even though it's kind of sad and seedy, there's a ton of cheap places to stay and it's still quite friendly. Plus, Spa-World is just down the street!
Injured
That was funny. Since he was being followed by a TV camera filming it the feeling probably was safe to the participants. Wouldn't recommend doing that in the USA though, cops tend to shoot to kill 1st then ask questions later.

The New York stereotype: pushy, snobby, always in a rush, and always talking about business. According to a friend from California, the New York stereotype: simply asshole.
New Yorkers are definitely friendly if you approach them at the right time. For example, if you ask someone for directions, they might even lead you for a bit if it's in the same direction. I think anybody living in the tristate area knows this. However, when I was working in California, it seemed like the people there were generally too friendly. Kind of creeped me out when I first started there. On a road trip to the south, I was met with the famous Southern Hospitality. Again, their friendliness was a little bit too extreme. Geez, I may be from out of state, but you don't have to go and tell me all your secret places to eat and the best neighborhoods.

The guy talking in the phone had the best reaction to it. LoL
Oh man, that was so funny.
LMAO at the guy just completely "dropping dead" after being sliced at 1:49.
The old lady in the beginning (0:26) got shot twice and then said "Just how many times are you going to me?" lol
And then I think the guy in 0:32 is made of metal as he mimics the sound of bullets bouncing off him. XD
Though it seemed it doesn't work if the guy's on the phone, as seen near the end.

hahaha totally priceless, especially if it wasn`t staged.
If you`d pull that over here in Amsterdam, people would most likely go "WTH ?" but seeing as Amsterdam is filled with tourists, the younger tourists might just go along.
As far as friendlyness per region goes, I think the people down in the East (i.e not big cities) are more "accesible" in general but your mileage always varies (along with just how good your own socialism skills are ?) since people do mention Tokyoites being less accesible however my experience was that during my stay in Tokyo the only time I went out clubbing alone was the first night, after which I had a few numbers to call upon the second night of going out.
Will definitly hit up more cities than Tokyo and Yokohama next time I`m around seeing as I only had like 10 days when I went.

i think openness from people outside of Tokyo is due to a closer bonding between their regionality. in tokyo because its such a large city congregating so many ppl from many different areas, its hard to relate yourself to people without stating where you came from originally. so in effect makes people alot less open. there is kind people but its more in the neighbourhoods, but when it comes to the everyday walking along the street kindness, its not so... plentiful
Man of few words
haha, this cracks me up! Very friendly people.
