Hearted Youtube comments on The Japan Reporter (@TheJapanReporter) channel.

  1. Hey Nobita, I just want to let you know that I really appreciate your channel and the variety of interviews that you do! I want to wish you all the best and a lot of success in your life! Thanks for the amazing work, all the way from Portugal 🇵🇹

  2. I heard some fathers start thinking the mothers as mothers and part of the family and similar to relatives, so they stop being partner for reproductive activity. Perhaps the woman need to dress in the attractive way and take the husband out of the usual routines and perhaps suggest they go somewhere to relax.Sometimes they are stressed from work and can't have fun? It is difficult, so perhaps couples therapy can help.

  3. On your next videos I hope you'll answer the following questions: 1. How does Japanese work culture influence the birth rate? 2. How much does it cost to maintain a family and is working at an average wage job enough? 3. How easy/hard it is to raise and educate a child? How about the costs? I think the problem is largely economical, not societal. Just try to compare the previous generation's (boomers) economic climate and the resulting population explosion compared to this generation's.

  4. I love the great relationship. Instead of hating the past. We should learn to love the present and appreciate each othets cultures. I will always love Taiwan for Xia long Bau and Japan for Sushi. Love both these countries. ❤❤❤❤❤️

  5. I did foreign exchange for two months and never experienced this. All the Japanese were cool and even tried to speak english for me which was really nice.

  6. Nobita you are genuinely one of the funniest YouTuber’s I watch. Keep up the amazing work!

  7. やっぱり白人は他の文化に馴染める力がある気がするな。 いい事だと思います。差別的な事を考えるよりも自分が違うから仕方ない気持ちとその国でその国の行き方で生きなきゃという結論が正解だと思います。 欧米でよく「白人＝差別する人」と思い込んでいますが、大間違いだと思います。むしろ白人は差別されても気付かないって感じ。（笑） Thank you for the Video Nobita さん.

  8. That last girl hit the nail on the head. But also I would say until their society changes this stigma for the better, I understand two people staying in a marriage but I would mutually agree to have it an open one with them so they could see and love other people freely while also disclosing this knowledge to their kids honestly. That’s what it means for parents to be good role models instead victims of society and of their own mentalities

  9. My Grandmother is Japanese. I don’t look Japanese at all and grew up in California. In Osaka most racism i see is from foreigners that tell me how they really feel about Japanese people unbeknownst to them many of my family and friends are Japanese from here in Kansai.

  10. The Vietnamese girl saying 過労死 did not have any subtitles, some people may be confused about that. 過労死 (karoushi) = death from overwork

  11. This was so educational from both a studious and emotional level. Thank you so much! 🌹

  12. Nobita-san, I don't know anyone else doing the work you are doing. My hat is off to you.

  13. Especially as a single person it is all too easy to feel isolated.

  14. As Bob Marley said "Don't forget your history,nor your destiny...in the abundance of water the fool is thirsty"..wise word's...love your site!🌟

  15. When you think that you are being treated differently from others you shouldn't assume that it is just because you look different. All people can many reasons to be treating you different and your race probably isn't the only reason and you shouldn't just assume that you understand the mind of that Japanese person even if you were raised in Japan. Every one is different and that's perfectly fine.

  16. Great video Nobita-san. I would love to hear the stories of these people's parents! Were they born and raised in Japan too? How many generations does it go back? Did the parents of these people move to Japan for work and decide to raise a family there instead of their home country and why? So many questions 😁

  17. This channel is so underrated. Keep it up Nobita, you're doing a great job by exposing these issues to the world 👍🏽

  18. Makeup or not, we live our lives to impress people who couldn't give less of a shit about us. This is our life.

  19. (9:41) It sounds like an interesting topic to cover. What online dating is really like in Japan.

  20. Thank you for interviewing me Nobita san☺️✨You interviewed Your sister & Politician Mr. Tachibana!!😳😳👏 Your sister is lovely💕☺️ With or without marriage, I hope everyone finds their happiness🙏

  21. Shibuya-san is such a wonderful person. If you truly admire and respect someone then his/her past won't bother you one bit. She deserves all the love and support she can get. Thank you for this interview video Nobita-san👍
    27
  22. I completely understand her experience. I was diagnosed at 39, and lived constantly with depression. I still struggle with social interactions but at least I can get through the day.
    27
  23. Me who was diagnosed autism around the age of 12, which was around almost 14 years ago, this video really helps and I'm so happy. Thank you for the upload 😊
    27
  24. Hope you're doing well, Nobita-san! Shibuya-san is always so canon and passionate, you can really tell she cares for the arts and she all gives her all. I always love following what she does. And yes, Tenchi Muyo! is fantastic!
    27
  25. Props to you for getting such great interviews.
    27
  26. What an interesting perspective! That's why we love you, Nobita.
    27
  27. Such a powerful laugh I respect that so much
    27
  28. Really interesting video Nobita! You always help with my Japanese, so here's a tip for your English! When you say "start to..." the verb that comes next is just regular, so it is not "they started to controlling" but "they started to control". This grammar is the same for "want to..." or "try to..." Hope this helps!

  29. Thank you so much for posting this. I am an autistic woman from America and this video actually gave me some hope that I could potentially, maybe be able to handle living in Japan on my own.
    27
  30. As a Taiwanese who moved to Canada when i was very young, i see a lot of my parents in the Japanese description of Taiwanese. Growing up, i was blunt and straight forward and i never knew where it came from. i love my taiwanese heritage and i am growing to love the japanese culture andpeople as well. i hope in the future that this kindness and love be also shared with other countries within asia.

  31. You're great, keep going

  32. This is another fine video Nobita. It's a difficult one to be honest. Boils down to culture but also parental guidance. My mother raised me, my brother and two sisters alone after my dad left her shortly after l was born. So l never had that father figure to guide me, she took on that role herself she nurtured me and when called for disciplined me. She taught how to treat a girl or woman, that their needs come before my own. To be honest with them protect them and defend their dignity if needed. Also that if l see a woman or old lady struggling help them. Open the door for them, help them accross the street, stand and give them your seat. The man l am now is an extension of who my mother was. Sadly my mother took her own life in 1997 when l was 18 years old and l tried to stop that from happening sadly for me l was not able to prevent that. She was my world and to be honest l am proud of who l am because this is the man she would have wished me to be. People should always be honest with not only themselves but the people around them. Friends are an extension of one's self. Friends are essentially the family we choose for ourselves. ❤💕 Thank you for this video l started my own channel and l gave you an honourable mention on their but l said your name wrong twice so forgive me. Keep doing what you are doing sir l applaud you 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

  33. It's funny that for many girls in more conservative cultures, they are told as teenagers that wearing makeup is inappropriate, but later they are pressured to wear it every day. In many Western Culture, wearing makeup is kind of sexualized, especially lip stick.

  34. As an autistic American woman (late-diagnosed at 35) looking to move to Japan, this is exactly the kind of thing I love to see! Thank you for this wonderful content, and for introducing us to this amazing author as well!

  35. If my friend and I could come to Japan, we'd LOVE to get involved in social and personal work like that. You should urge Japan to form a group that runs around Japan to various houses to spend time with the occupants. You could manage that pretty well with colorful personalities a good, great deal. The idea reminds me of an animated show called "Smiling Friends". It's a very funny show for mature audiences. I believe it is ideal to involve people with themselves in a way that brings them warmth. I look at weaknesses as "future strengths". While you may not be in the best shape, you can determine what and why you need to change something. I had this plan a while back to urge the Japanese government to give newlyweds some expensive watermelon, so that the newlyweds may either enjoy a wonderful gift between themselves, or sell the melon so that a house may be afforded. With money from the sale of a watermelon, you could even start a business. You could give your parents a vacation. You could treat your siblings to a great weekend, or put the money towards college for your children. Simply put, this is a bid to get people to come together. I hear birth rates are tragically low for Japan. I want the best for the people there. Such people should not suffer. I am a strategist at heart, and am willing to further speak with people on solutions to social ills. I've been studying people for close to 20 years, and I wish to better understand people so I may diagnose the surroundings and inhabitants contained within such societies that I may graze with as best a laze gaze. Here's to the future!

  36. Truthfully, I discovered Abroad in Japan around 2015, and it did make me want to go there for a holiday. So I started saving up and by 2019/20 I had saved enough for a month holiday. Howerver right then covid struck, so I had to delay until earlier this year, when I finally got the chance, from march to april I spent a month in Japan and it was one of the greatest experiences of my life, I visited Tokyo, Aomori, Osaka, Hiroshima and Fukuoka. I went to as many places as I could, largely due to his videos. I truly loved my time in Japan and hope to go back one day. Love from Australia.

  37. Great interviews and reasonable insights. We will try not to be inconsiderate guests of your nation. But there are always bad apples; even w/i your own and in every culture.
    26
  38. Arigatou Gozaimas Nobita san, your videos are so informative. They are like a mirror through which we can see the Japanese society. Absolutely love your contents. And best of luck to all the single fathers of Japan, you're doing a great job. 🙏❤️

  39. Thank you so much for talking about this ! I'm Japanese and French and my father always pressured me about this subject, that I'll have to give up one of my nationalities when I turn 20. I was properly raised in both of my cultures and I feel terrible at the thought of losing a part of my identity, even if it's only in the eyes of the law. I am seriously considering giving up on being French (for the sake of practicality. Living as Japanese in France seems unfortunately far easier than living as a French person in Japan). I hope things will change soon and we won't have to make such drastic decisions.

  40. Having lived in Japan for four years, I'll admit my language skills are crap (I'm old, but working at it). But, I'd rather live here than back home. I'll always be a second class citizen, but I don't have to deal with all the shit. Everyone has treated me well, I've made great friends, and I feel at peace. When I first went back to the United States after living here, everybody asked me about culture shock. I told them I didn't feel that, I only felt culture shock after visiting home, because the United States doesn't have one. In Japan there is a common culture, a history, good or bad, that ties people together. In the US we are the 'Melting Pot', which is cool because you can meet so many people, and experience things outside your bubble. However, we don't have that shared thread that binds us. That is why you see so much strife in the US today.

  41. Damn, that guy with the hat and trenchcoat looks so tall for a Japanese man. Most Japanese men I’ve seen are really short. Anyways, I’m glad to see another video from you, Nobita!

  42. Our situation is somewhat the same. I am also trapped in this kind of marriage. He isn't a cheater but verbally abusive. And this started my anxiety and depression. Separation is not an option for me since I know I will never earn as much as my husband and I might jeopardize my son's chance at a better life. It might also affect him emotionally and psychologically. I am more scared for my son than I am for myself. But oh well, I'm just waiting for the time for my son to be independent and once the time is right perhaps I'll have the strength to think of myself.

  43. Fantastic video. children definitely need a mother and a father to become balanced people. unfortunately, state support of single parents exacerbates the issue. especially women choosing to leave fathers because the state will support the mother and child. it's truly a terrible problem at the root of society. It's nice to see how these men grew, accepted, took responsibility and chose to do the best for their kids.

  44. めっっっっっちゃくちゃ分かるその気持ち。 子供3人いて、2人ASD、ADHDです。 私も生きづらさがずっとあったので私も発達障害あるのか？と思ってました。 子ども達の父親は完全なるADHDですが。 今は発達の問題ある子ども達が昔よりは理解があって、サポート受けやすい世の中になっていますよ😊ありがたいです🥺

  45. I am glad this young lady went with her father..... the way a woman treats her father shows how she will treat her future husband..

  46. 3:44 This man is doing God's work. He's the best friend of any Man Of Culture visiting Japan.

  47. When I was a kid, I remember that Asian children would get made fun of for their eyes by their non Asian peers in school, so I definitely think that Americans are aware of it

  48. Nobita, this was AMAZING. One of the best videos I ever saw from you. Thank you a lot and also to Mrs. Nobita 😄 - Chris Abroad, CDawg and all the nice women, telling their feelings! Great!

  49. The problem is conversational language skills aren't taught and practiced. A lot of it in Eikawa classes are listening to the teacher giving instructions in Japanese, hearing English above their level, and spending all semester on one speech they memorize and forget.
