  14. This documetary its fenomenal its just hits so many points in which i identify myselft, being diagnostic with social anxiety and being bullied for almost four years in high school and attended to a couple of psychologist (which if you aske me didnt help in anyhting , i feel ust worsed more the situation in a way), i had really HARD times and still are some , now im 25 and this last three years being learning japanese and more recently programming to an near future travel to japan and stay there for a time. I use to joke when this of the corona happened with the quarantine saying that i was prepared to it from way before (becuase i bassicly dont go out ) and really rarely see some of my *friends or members of my family, because of my social anxiety my realtionships in general were always and remark ALWAYS result in the other part asking me why acted or did/didnt things in a certain way just because doesnt adjusted to the *standart that society has ingrained in people. Im not japanese and came from a country where the culture and values in general of the common denominator of the people its being sociable so when someone who doesnt fit in the cclasic perfil of sociable and outgoing person appears the shit really complicates tleading to frustration, anxiety, depression, sadness and overall not wanting to live. My parents had an really complicated time trying to comprehend why was having so much trouble in school and even after it, that was the main reason to go some psychologists which one of them even prescribe me antidepressants for a time which if you ask me didnt make shit to me and stop taking them after two years, although both of my parents from the begginig until now were always supportive with me and im still living with them . All the people who were interviewed in this documentary just hit in the nail how i felt in a way, i really appreciated this video nobita, people doesnt really grasp how its this actually what people like me or these ones who appeared in the video go through , even my parents who gave birth me and take care of me couldnt undertand everything even now there are things that i just stop to talk wiht them just because its something that you have to experiecen by oneselft to undertand (although i wouldn´t wish it to almost nobody). My fear and anxiety for future its huge still now , that problem surged when finished high school, i needed to decided what i was going do and though i was for a couple of month in the universty i just dropped not because of my soical anxiety alone but because that wasnt something that i wanted to do wiht my life , i had and still have so many of these dilemas per say, but i still going hard hehe at least for now that still have somehting that i aim for. Sorry for the long comment, once again thanks nobita.

  46. Tourists set aside, a bigger issue might be that many of the government members themselves are not able to communicate in English. Even though their position might require to participate at international meetings. Maybe greet leaders of other countries. Of course, the possibility of using an interpreter is aways there. However, not speaking another language (especially the global one) also keeps them in a specific mind-set bubble that hinders them from truly understanding what's going on in the world, beyond their own country and culture. This for example would possibly help them solving the over-tourism problem, just to start with. Not to mention that the young generation doesn't seem to get any explanations on why it would be good for them to speak English. They don't even know how much speaking another language could broaden their way of life and thinking. I've been teaching English conversation in Japan for a few years now. I can tell Japanese people are very educated, intelligent, bright, and ambitious people. But without the knowledge of why they should acquire a skillset it's pretty hard to learn and be motivated, even for them. I also have a lot of embarrassing stories from a close friend who has meetings with government members, and big companies aiming to co-op with other foreign businesses. But instead of just mediating between cultures and businesses, he has to prepare and translate documents, contracts, constantly interpret (non of his jobs), since he's usually the only one present who can read and write both in Japanese and English on the required level. There are others out there who can do the same. But unfortunately, in Japan the number of these people is very low and all of them are extremely busy. Meaning, there's a huge demand on people with these skills. This impacts the country's economy on a very large scale. So seeing at least some changes would be nice. Again, it's not just about the skills. It's about how the changing mindset could have and impact on a country and its future.
