languages are tough. i'm having a similar experience here. watching american movies here i'm often the only one laughing out loud. i thought it had more to do with our slang. but culture is a good reflection.

i watched this youtube clip from a japanese game show recently that was one of the funniest things i've ever seen. but there was no talking, because, well, it took place in a library.

I found it thoroughly entertaining. Especially when you stopped in a middle for a "smoke" break. That was awesome! It'd be cool if I could have some background bubbler effects when I get a webcam and start vlogging normally like you can. How bout talking about Japanese culture? I'm sure there's a lot of mannerisms that we Americans aren't familiar with that you can inform us about. Are they more hardcore into baseball than we are into American baseball? Are they accurately portrayed in the movie Fast and the Furious III: Tokyo Drift? I'm sure you can come up with some interesting stuff. And I totally agree with Jeff, just seeing you sort things out in your head and try to dish it out on camera is a joy in itself :D
