Languages that have a lot of "ö" sounds always sound funny.
Front rounded vowels are actually a pretty rare feature, especially outside Eurasia (
https://wals.info/feature/11A#2/22.6/152.9):
In WALS, only 23 out of 562 languages with data about the presence of front rounded vowels are listed as having both high and mid front rounded vowels. Many are Uralic (Finnish, Hungarian, Mari, Selkup) or Turkic (Turkish, Azerbaijani, Bashkir, Chuvash, Kirghiz, Tuvan, Yakut). However WALS is missing data about languages like Estonian and Tatar, both of which have both high and mid front unrounded vowels.
Front rounded vowels in IPA:
/y/ - a close front rounded vowel ("y" in Finnish orthography, "ü" in Turkish and Estonian orthography)
/ʏ/ - a near-close front rounded vowel
/ø/ - a close-mid front rounded vowel ("ö" in Finnish and Estonian orthography)
/ø̞/ - a mid front rounded vowel
/œ/ - an open-mid front rounded vowel ("ö" in Turkish orthography)
/ɶ/ - an open front rounded vowel
Wikipedia says this about Old Japanese: "The vowel u was a close back rounded vowel /u/, unlike the unrounded /ɯ/ of Modern Standard Japanese.[40]" However the speaker in the video pronounces "u" more like /ɯ/ (which is denoted by the dotless letter "i" in Turkish orthography).
