  1.  @渡辺春樹-z7x  That’s incredibly offensive man. Is there to teach you English so you can better work internationally and thus with each other. Not exclusively global culture, but that can be a part of it. Then again, Japan is for too inwards looking to begin with. It’s one of the reasons why it’s society’s moves so slowly forward culturally wise by comparison to its rapid technological growth. It’s done better than many others in the east, but by comparison to everything else it has achieved, it is disappointing that it has been so slow in this category when it comes to foreigners. If it doesn’t do so soon, it could face a near extinction in the countryside without bringing in some new blood. The rules are simple. Evolve, mix, adapt or die. Those are the only ways in which a society moves forward.

  2. This was an absolutely brilliant video. I don’t think I’ve heard so many of the people interviewed be honest about mental health and the state of the country right now like this until this one. Especially from these people who are the same age as me in about the 20s really do wish for the country to change. The country is still very much a safe one, but one that is also incredibly stifling and needs to remove this to prevent actions like this attack from bubbling up again in the future.

  3. Oh yeah. I was always enjoying these great videos so much I never really noticed until now.

  4. I’ve got to say this questionnaire had a lot better results than many other map identification questionnaires I’ve seen on other channels before. A lot more on this got the questions correct which is a ‘relief’ and many other people who got them both right and wrong, actually considered the lack of knowledge and the issues behind it and where they can improve. Plus the issues that are in American education and ignorant self isolationism in the first place. Even though many people to get the questions wrong, a lot more got them right than the previous ones and good to know they will try and use it as an opportunity to improve. Thanks to big Asian movie and series releases on streaming platforms though, hopefully this will also encourage other people to improve their knowledge of Asian countries. As a European though, I can still see that America has a long long long way to go.

  5. She crosses all the tick boxes in the west. Japan is just going to have to get used to this in the coming years as immigration will inevitably begin to rise over there. We can only hope that this won’t increase too much the level of nationalism over there. We don’t want a repeat of the past again

  6. Yes, as an English person in the UK, I am always horrified by this every time I go onto YouTube or other forms of social media. There is something seriously wrong in American education.

  7.  @stevendrowe  Unfortunately, communication with medical scientists in China has been a bit of a problem really as of late.😓 It’s nice to speak all high and mighty about it when you take political control out of the equation. China hasn’t allowed any real evidence and freedom of information since this whole bloody Covid mess started.

  8. At least you actually have a good knowledge base of European cultures. Definitely better than even some of the more apparently knowledgeable Americans questioned.

  9. Good luck to all students everywhere. We need to stick together, even once we graduate.

  10. That is very disappointing. The vast majority of all the news we get here in Britain is very much 50-50 between events that are happening here at home and around the rest of the world. And that’s for even the news agencies apart from the BBC.

  11. Indeed. It is annoying when so many other Japanese interviewers and interviewees speak in such a monotone voice without any real passion or genuine opinion in their answers and questions.

  12.  @almightysauerkraut6165  Hardly. I’m in the UK and we view a whole load of the US as being unruly. I think when can put education and over-policing and lack of local help for prevention as being the biggest causes of this.

  13. This video is a great truth bomb for people in the United States. Those guys need it.

  14.  @kaiushijima7060  Thank you very much Kai, these words are much appreciated. I'm 25 from the UK (can't speak proper Japanese yet) I would like to work in Japan someday (I know, many people say that but I still want to try if possible eventually sooner rather than later) perhaps in the entertainment media industry like games or animation as an artist or illustrator. Have you noticed this position for foreigners being quite different?

  15. I can definitely imagine them sometimes struggling to realise that when it comes to certain ethnicities not always being from the country they expect.
    3
  16. Yeah I feel the same way. I have been only recently though seriously considering studying in Japan for my last year of University after my 3rd year finished. However I'm a UK student, and the Japanese government isn't currently allowing UK citizens to get new Visas, including students. So if I reeeally want to go there for at least 6 months, I will probably have to wait until the new year of 2022 and hope that the rules change at the beginning of the year, but still put forward an application with my Uni anyway just in case. Which means I could have this unknown weight over my head for several months, never knowing what will happen. Hope others are able to get in, and those who are already there can get the most out of it.

  17. Here here. Same for all of us aiming for 2022. The country is only holding itself and everyone else back again.
    2
  18. Really agree with that. I don't know yet if I could make it for a whole year, as I've never sent a long time abroad before, but if so then, even if it was harder than it was fun or happy, it would still probably be worth it rather than having never tried at all.

  19. This is really sad to hear. I’ve only recently come to appreciate the great work of journalism and wealth of information brought by you all at Asian Boss, And it would be really disappointing if all that work had to come to an end. Once again the impact of everything in 2020 is still continuing. It will be great to help in any small way I can. This video and a few other bits from your other publications should be advertised on major news agencies so they can help get the word out there. If they’re willing to do it for failing clothing companies then surely they can do it for highly successful and meaningful publishers like yourself.

  20. That is definitely true. I really admire those people who are able to make a positive living in Japan, although I do feel that the country has got a lot of things to improve as well to not only make life better for native Japanese people but also those who wish to move there who have experienced sometimes better experiences in other western developed countries or Australia and New Zealand.

  21.  @pranjalbivare7667  Ok, i’ve got to say that honestly does feel a little bit prejudice in of itself there. It’s not a case of being privileged or anything, but simply that we are more used to having a certain level of support for everyone so we don’t have to work ourselves to death. Many Asian countries seem to consider this certain level of working to be normal, whilst we consider it to be unethical at this level. Especially for Japan.

  22. That is so true. I don’t know if I’ll ever truly have the chance to live in another country, or at least be strong enough to take that huge leap, but I believe after doing that I will be able to fully come to know my own home country. I’ll know whether it is truly the place where my heart resides, or whether it is where I have now ended up.

  23. Ok, I'm still even now really surprised that your schedule at a Japanese university (at least the ones they've been going to) is soo free and you can even work part time to cover the cost of it if needed and still have enough to travel. Now THAT would be damn awesome to do. That's got to be one of the huge perks, even if there aren't as much reinforcement lessons as you might like or would've expected after coming soo far. I'll have to remember this if I do go. Pleeease let the Visa situation change soon. It's creating waaay too much uncertainty. And yes, I do looove Japanese pop culture very much and that is what first introduced me to the country in the first place in a more meaningful sense, but through that I have go on to learn as much about Japan in my own ways as best I can over the past 6-ish years and now have an equally huuuge respect for both. And that is why I wan to go and study there any any form I still can or even work there in a job that best reflects my love for this country. Be it in the entertainment media industry, or the more traditional arts and customs.

  24.  @paulmares9815  That is very true unfortunately. I’ve noticed when I have been around feminists, even when they haven’t called them selves that directly to me. It’s always feels like you are getting a lecture even when they aren’t doing it intentionally and it seems like they are always having to keep their guard up around each other, let alone yourself for treading on the smallest land mine. When you’re with those few that just want to be honest and speak the truth about how this currently stands, you actually feel like you are a TRUE safe space. A space of honest normality where do you kill feel free to insult or poke about all the fun with each other and know you aren’t going to be eating around the head with it and can just accept we are all different and just have a good drink. Now that’s a much better world than radical feminism.

  25. Don’t worry guys. We are TOOOTALLY OK WITH THIS. I’d you have to do less, then that is ok. Quality over quantity any day.

  26. Looks like a wonderful place, but I have definitely known for a long time that it is not a cure-all for life’s problems. It has flaws like any other country. The biggest issue though with living there would be that I would have to get used to the cold should be my every day life from stage one, rather be something I can submit opt out of like on a holiday. There’s no knowing if I would eventually get sick of it or whether I will truly Kota accepted as being an equal or better life. The language barrier of being my every day form of communication would also be a little worrying, even though I desperately want to learn to speak Japanese. Only time will tell unfortunately for any of us. You’ll never know until you truly take that leap.

  27. I loved watching the games, but it is such a huge shame that it had to exclude eeeeverying else.

  28. I was glad that the Olympics went ahead and it was wonderful to see. What was still a huge shame was that not even a small amount of its citizens were allowed to watch unless it was on the road tracts. This of course connects to foreign visitors still not being allowed to attend either. The games were beautifully done and full support to all the staff and helpers involved, but this year for people wanting to go into the country has been such a disaster.

  29. I couldn't agree more. We want to learn more about Japanese culture and be part of the good parts of it to enrich our own lives, but the Japanese in their working lives don't seem to want to do the same thing with other countries (unless in involves perhaps getting a new language). This is just holding everyone back in the long term. We want to live and work there NOW, but now for many still doesn't seem like the right time.

  30. It would be really wonderful, if they could get enough of them to be honest in front of the camera. If not then they could convince some to record their responses on audio instead!

  31.  @sc81838  That is very disappointing to hear and very sad, but thanks for informing us of these situations anyway. I would want to 'honestly' talk about the events and outcome of World War 2 with a native Japanese person as well so we can compare our countries experiences and eventual impacts, but if this is the case then it would be a big shame.

  32. Yeah, I don’t plan on dating a Japanese woman any time soon with where things are in my life right now, but if I was to do so I would definitely avoid the parents as much as possible.😂😂 Unless you’ve literally got hundreds of thousands of pounds or perhaps 1 million in the bank it’s really not worth it.

  33.  @alditahervianto9179  Well I have heard that as well. It does seem like they definitely want the children to get married sooner rather than later but they are also very much conscious of their children’s job positions in how much they are making to support themselves. Honestly though that’s not really that different from many other countries but they are acutely aware of it with how things are in the country right now and have been so for about 30 years.

  34. Yeah that is very weird!

  35. It is definitely quite a relief. I was worried that it would be too heavily suppressed on this side but thankfully it seems that the media is actually giving a lot of detailed information that is thankfully not all one-sided as they understand very clearly that they cannot out right lie when all of the evidence that Ukraine is the one in the right here is absolutely flooding the Internet in every corner of its existence.

  36.  @nicolejenkins9864  I feel you there. I'm also a UK citizen studying Game Art at Uni and would love to study in Japan for a 4th year if possible and in half English so I can also learn the language, even if that would be hard to find. But with UK people still not able to get Student Visas until probably early next year 2022 I really don't know what to do. And I'm DEFINITELY NOT taking online class after the past 2 years I've hand, otherwise what would be the point. Especially with the costs. Otherwise it's be better to just do a different course here in the UK to learn the language, and we all know that wouldn't be the same.

  38. So it’s the same in the workplace as well as dating then.😆😓 That really isn’t fair to anyone.

  39.  @komea12  Oh god yes I feel your pain there. Thankfully I’ve never been in a relationship that was open ended, or even a long-term girlfriend boyfriend thing for that matter. If I was goes to be ghosted it would really be breaking me inside. If I wanted to end a relationship I would definitely speak to the person directly about it.

  40. It definitely seemed like there were 'a lot' more negatives than positives for these people working and living in Japan, which is a huge shame. Although it is a little weird that the vast majority of these people are either students or IT or computer interns!? There also weren't any more western (if you don't count Australia in that) in this video, as naturally a ethnically white person is probably going to have even more of a different experience in Japan than perhaps a neighbouring asian person. That could be better or even worse. Japan either way reeeeally does need to diversify more though, both in work and society if it want to not only survive, but thrive more in the true 21st century. Otherwise none of us are gonna have a good time of it over there if we choose to more to Japan.

  41. I honestly couldn’t avoid laughing out loud when he said Justin Bieber. Is he actually majorly popular over there then?

  42.  @MoejiiOsmanTV  That is very sad. As a Caucasian person, if I was to date someone in Japan Woman I would hate it though if I was dating them purely out of principle for being in the country. I would obviously think they were beautiful, but doing it just for the sake of trying to fit in wood be very stressful and honestly I think that is one of the worst reasons to get into a relationship. If I found the right person that would be wonderful, but in all honesty I think more likely than not I would be going out with another person of my own ethnicity.

  43. I'd never be able to do a job like that I think for a year, but studying or working for a year in a similar field to the one I want to going into in Japan would definitely be great, even though it could be harsh. Because like you said, I could get a lot out of it once I went back home or to another English speaking country.

  44. This is very interesting but also quite sad that some people are still working such long hours despite that labour law coming in recently. I would like to work in Japan someday after I learn the language but I would be really worried that with my particular skill set I would end up being in a job that takes way too many hours out of my life. I mostly have artistic and technical knowledge and both of those jobs take up a Large amount of time for what I can see in usual Japanese jobs, so a more traditional artistic skill set working for a small company or perhaps a restaurant would be a better idea.😆 That or quickly getting out of work and using stored up money to work in the countryside doing farming instead.👌🏼 And yeah, I know that the farming life isn’t for everyone and it’s hard work, but it really does depend on which sector you are wanting to go into, and in all honesty it looks a lot more rewarding.

  45. That is quite a shame. I don’t speak the language yet but I would love to live in Japan someday if I could get a good paying job that doesn’t suffocate me, and dating would definitely be on the table. Only problem is I don’t think I’d want to live in Tokyo for long considering how big and busy it is. I would deafly want to try dating in one of the other cities or perhaps live in a village with plenty of countryside eventually some day. But considering everything I’ve learned so far it feels like people understanding me as a foreigner and being excepted as well as finding the right person in these areas or lives in the city and would like to move with me would be incredibly hard. It feels like in all honesty that the best option would be to just go out with another person of my ethnicity which is Caucasian so we can help each other and move to the countryside together someday.

  46. But even ‘no sexy’? That seems a bit too much.

  47. I had the same feel once. I now understand they're both very different from each-other, unless you are a little kid of course, in which case it is very close as it seems from all this videos online and real life that being a child in Japan is very close to the Anime portrait, as kids it seems are treated VERY WELL over there with great schools, interaction with each-other and freedom to go out on their own in the towns they live in. let alone school trips. Although, I guess we can see now why they very often 'don't' show un the character lives after school or college except on the very few occasions. Japan seems to split these two parts of their people's live off very sharply by comparison to how we honestly have it here in the West. It's such a huge shame because Japan really could allow the more school social mentality to continue into regular working and home life if they wanted to. If anything it would probably make things a loooot better for them, and us who want to live there.

  48.  @gianmarcorusso1713  IWasn’t aware that it was actually that bad in Italy. That is quite sad to hear really. I would’ve thought Italy was quite open like any of it of the neighbours, or is this due also sometimes to Catholic influences within society? It is good that things in Japan are changing Studley with his generation. Especially this one, although they they are still having to fight the old generation who are still not budging on so many things and they are basically having to wait for them to die off. And with their long life expectancy, it certainly would explain how things have moved so slowly since after the rebuilding in the 50s and the eventual economic bubble burst in the early 90s.
