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

  2. 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.

  3. Here here. Same for all of us aiming for 2022. The country is only holding itself and everyone else back again.

  4. 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.

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

  6. 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.

  7.  @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.
