    In the past, you could sometimes click the flag or

    globe at the top right corner of any YouTube page.

    Even then, the very next time that you would sign

    in to YouTube, it would come back and sting you

    with the very same unwanted settings unless you

    1) cleared your cache of all its 'temporary internet

    files', 'cookies' and 'history'; 2) rebooted; 3) chose

    your country's flag; and 4) pressed 'F5' repeatedly

    to get it into YouTube's thick brain that THAT was

    the default homepage you wanted.

    You no longer have to do that.

    Now things resolve themselves nicely if you know

    what to do. At the top left of most YouTube pages

    is their big logo, plus two items with blue lettering.

    Click on the 1st to select the country's homepage

    you want. Click on the 2nd to select the language.

    Here are 2 images of what I'm talking about if you

    see Chinese. (The link below isn't mine, so forgive

    me if it takes a few seconds, trying to pop an ad.)

    If you want, you can thus get these combinations:

    -- Japanese home page + Japanese language

    -- U.S.A. (global) home page + Japanese language

    -- Japanese home page + English language

    -- U.S.A. (global) home page + English language

    If after you change the settings, they don't remain

    permanent every time that you log on to YouTube,

    clear your cache of all its 'temporary internet files',

    'cookies' and 'history'. (Don't worry, nothing will go

    wrong if you do that.)

    Choose your preferred country and language, then

    click the 'Refresh' icon or press 'F5' a few times.

    Next to the Youtube logo there are to world First one is Worldwide Second one is English try the second link.

    If that does not work click the First link then choose the language from there.
