  1. lasoob, you just showed why the elderly woman is correct - "if they can't give them everything they need". Maybe they don't NEED hardly anything you think they do.

  2.  @unatco6554  UNATCO, you have just destroyed the argument of many commenters. Good on you for speaking the obvious truth of the matter!

  3. Bible: Her boyfriend "of" 5 years, is perfectly good English.
    34
  4. Anything that is against Jesus Christ, will always be supported by the majority of people.
    27
  5. Historically speaking, having kids is not dependent much on how much money you have, as poorer people often have more than the rich.
    21
  6. 11:20 "How can we increase the birth rate?" Ban abortion - problem half solved.
    19
  7. to Metube: She sinned, and her conscience told her that. It was obvious from the interview that she is trying to suppress that.
    17
  8. nnehx, Please read a history book.
    16
  9. You racism/superiority complex is in open display, Jasmine. God instilled a sense of gender into us humans when he created Adam and Eve on the 6th day.
    10
  10. Ark, your sentence is incomprehensible.
    10
  11. Good to hear, shiny. Many people in this video show that they don't value their freedoms.
    10
  12. Japanese used to love to travel abroad. But not so much anymore.
    9
  13. G J sounds bitter that the elderly lady was correct in her analysis of the younger generation.
    9
  14. So you are cool with having your every move tracked by govt. officials?
    8
  15. to Indie: There sure is a lot wrong with porn. This girl is one living example - she showed she is trying calm her conscience, because her conscience is telling her she did something wrong - and she did.

  16.  @benbentan4005  Ben, sorry that you've fallen for the lies of the CCP.
    7
  17. This was an educational video!
    7
  18. Samurai/mafia guy was the most based. The backpacker monk guy had some good ideas, but some weird ones too.
    7
  19.  @slomo_thesloth6940  So you are cool with letting the govt. track your every move. Why not just move a few kilometers north then?
    6
  20. Actually, there is very little correlation. People have relatively more disposable income these days. But like that young woman said, they are more interested in fashion and hanging out than in raising families.
    6
  21. Historically speaking, poorer people have had more kids than richer people.
    6
  22.  @SPC2000  You sound as if you speak from experience, SPC. I'm experiencing that too. The problem is, if the individual freedoms are not respected, there will not be well-being of society. . In this corona time, it's very interesting to see that Japan is one of the very few countries to never impose a lockdown.
    6
  23.  @shino8854  Shino, your twisted version of history is hysterical. Are you restricted from accessing the truth?
    6
  24.  @shino8854  shino, so you think you can just lie and everyone is supposed to bow down to you and be quiet? Sounds like the CCP leadership!
    6
  25.  @ksoosk ksoosk, the internet cafe comment was about 10 years behind the times. Nearly everything that man said was from a different era almost.
    6
  26. It's not too expensive to have kids. Parents expectations of what they want is too high. Look at history when poor people had many children.
    6
  27. Tasin, your post regarding factors contributing to the downfall of many civilised societies in history is spot-on.
    5
  28.  @benbentan4005  So sorry for you Ben. You are following the lies of the CCP so readily, so willing to be used as a tool to display your superiority complex. . Why not repent, and follow your Creator - Jesus Christ?
    5
  29.  @cboy0394 cboy, many immigrants don't mind so much living 10 people to a one-bedroom apt.
    4
  30. to Ntheone: Porn work is sinful, which is why Emily's conscience is bothering her. God made us that way, and when we do sin, we should repent, and quit doing the sinful acts.
    4
  31.  @renek2913  Rene, there is no "OP" on this thread. Perhaps you meant to comment on a different video?
    4
  32.  @ChickensAndGardening  Chickens, I'm surprised you were so easily misled. Nagi Town's population is less than 6,000 people. So when a new company opens business, people move in from other areas, and have babies. That explains just about all the increase. Nagi Town has not succeeded in anything at all about solving the birthrate crisis. . The fundamental problem is not about money, it's about the meaning of life. If our ancestors were pond scum, then there is no meaning to life, and no reason to have kids. . Japan needs Jesus!

  33. She understands it is wrong, but is trying to calm her conscience.

  34. Wooster, median starting salaries for college grads in America is 4,300usd/month, for Japan 1,580/month.
    4
  35. What is unfair about having rich people pay for services?
    4
  36.  @frozenwalkway  frozen, and that is a good system - rich people pay for services.
    4
  37.  @frozenwalkway  frozen, yes, as others are commenting, of course poor people get a discount. Just like the couple in this video, the more you earn, the more you pay. That makes good sense.
    4
  38.  @Cha4k Choog/Cha4, The desire to go back to the supposedly "good old days" is one big factor holding Japan back. . And no, low prices doesn't even out anything.

  39. Zanele, the guy in the striped shirt has not a clue. He doesn't realize that the cancer has been ignored for decades, and now is about break out all over. If past world leaders (like the UN - ha!) had done their job properly and stopped the cancer when it was small, we wouldn't be facing a nuclear crisis today. God bless President Trump, as he seems to be the only one willing to stop the cancer that is Kim Jong-un before he embroils the world in a nuclear war.

  40. That is funny, succ! Please tell my fellow members of my church in Japan your joke. Or better yet, repent of your rebellion against Jesus Christ.

  41. You didn't notice that except for the lady in the striped dress, none of the other interviewees had any concept of what North Korea is doing?
    3
  42. Razear, while your comment has some merit, it is sorely lacking in overall scope.
    3
  43.  @bellei365  belle, Please read a history book. What percentage of humans in all of history lived all their lives in a home they owned? . Learn from the past, believe in Jesus, and hope for the future.
    3
  44.  @SkyeAten  Skye started his comment with truth, and then strayed into ridiculous ideas such as "traditional Japan" somehow choking off the output of babies, when it was specifically "traditional Japan" that had tons of babies!
    3
  45. Interviewer is correct.
    3
  46.  @obsidianstatue  obsidian, The US woke up to the fact that they were feeding their enemy. Xi started cracking down on freedom-lovers then too. . Let's work and pray to help make China a free country one day soon.
    3
  47. Similar here, Rd - Japanese Immigration keeps making it harder and harder to get a permanent visa.
    3
  48.  @Japanimal1992  About 80% of the Indians I've met in Japan work at Japanese restaurants.
    3
  49. Nina, that's very frightening! When did Malaysia become like the Third Reich?
    3
  50.  @frozenwalkway  frozen, these are not poor people. They are relatively rich people paying for services, as they should.
    3
  51.  @morisoba2550 moris, the cause is not "inflationary economy". The cause is that Japanese workers don't add much productivity to their products. Just today I saw 5 people doing a job that one or two would do in America. . So wages have stagnated in Japan for over 30 years, but more than doubled during that time in America. . But yeah, that 80 jpy/usd thing was amazing, but lasted just a short while.
    3
  52.  @rickivan_RICK rick, your self-contradictory comment was quite amusing: ""the cheapest first world country on earth in real wages of the citizens. You would be worse off in any other first world country." . . You might want to rewrite that in order to be consistent.
    3
  53. You are not thinking correctly.
    3
  54. Except that you are lying, OK.
    3
  55. "Trash" might have been the point. So why are you against it?
    3
  56. 14:15 This woman hit the nail on the head. If you believe in the ridiculous Evolutionary god of Climate Change, then it is best to not have kids, because Gaia hates all humans made in the image of God.
    3
  57. It would have been interesting to ask these Chinese about a very recent incident - like their navy ramming the Philippine coast guard boats, taking their things, injuring them etc. . Do they have access to that info, and if so, what do they think? . But if Asian Boss had asked this question, they might not have been able to leave China in one piece.

  58. Best of both worlds!

  61. The guy just showed publicly that he has no clue about how the world works. And here you are, doing the same thing too, Pious.
    2
  62.  @actual_doge3221  Actual tries to tie in not having babies to slavery. OK, well, both are anti-life, so yes, I guess the analogy fits to a very small extent. . But basically saying slaves shouldn't have had babies is extremely racist, Actual. . Your logic is shameful.

  63. I wonder if they took pride in the tomato that was filled with maggots that was brought to my table...

  64. Nearly everybody spoke with knowledge it seemed, but that one middle-aged guy with a stable income seems oblivious to what's going on in Hong Kong.

  65. Problem with gold is how to store it. And it is inedible.
    2
  66.  @birbshid  It's sad. Depressingly sad. They need Jesus to have hope!
    2
  67.  @unfinishedsentenc5308  Wages for the middle class rose more under Trump than in the previous 20 years combined.
    2
  68. aero, part of your analysis is correct. The other aspect is that Japanese workers don't quickly adopt new ways of doing things, so their productivity is very poor. Everything is done by the manual.
    2
  69. ronb, I advise you to stop eating those things, and start eating healthy, or you will have big medical issues soon.
    2
  70. I found very few people getting anywhere near the root of the problem. The woman at 14:15 did get very close tho by basically saying that if you believe in Gaia, then the less humans the better.
    2
  71. This poor woman understands she did a bad thing, but is trying to soothe her conscience.
    2
  72.  @CoreyANeal2000  Corey, you don't understand anything about how money flows yet. How many ounces of gold can you buy on a "small wage". And deflation is bad for every economic system ever dreamed up by mortals. Good luck as you start learning.
    2
  73.  @1239Elc  People want to live in the big cities, then complain about life in the big cities.
    2
  74.  @1239Elc  It’s pretty sad. In Japan, there are some empty houses that local govts will literally give away free or for one yen, and still few takers.
    2
  75. Most interesting comment on this video! There are some cycling delivery drivers here, but driving little vans around delivering packages no doubt pays much better.

  76.  @GinnySiska  Ginny, Tell me how many countries have "America" printed on the cover of their passports.
    2
  77.  @namenotfound8747  Name Not Found - It's called "jealousy". Your comment in spot-on.
    2
  78.  @OxysLokiMoros  Gute, How do you find work in Japan as a native English speaker if you live way out in the countryside? Even in the big cities, it is very difficult to get a decent wage unless you sell your soul to a big company or university.
    2
  79.  @TrinhNguyen-sh4fj  Good to see your parents worked and sacrificed to help their children. 😀 We need many more like them!
    2
  80. This was a very interesting video. Thank you. I ask many Japanese similar questions. Recently they say they can't travel overseas like they use to, and are basically just getting enough to live. Salaries have been flat for over 30 years now. One person I know graduated from university 2 years ago and joined a large comopany in Tokyo making a whopping 22,000usd/year. One other Japanese I know is going to become a registered nurse in 2 years. When I showed her the median salaries in America were 3 times what they are in Japan, she was in shock.
    2
  81.  @shadowtheimpure  shadow shows publicly that he/she is anti-life. Hypocrite. Why not enjoy life and allow others to enjoy it too?
    2
  82.  @datekaname2246  Kaname, the truth doesn't change because of your likes and dislikes. Repent, and follow Jesus today. Don't you want to live with Jesus in heaven forever?
    2
  83. alis, How many "relations" does it take to buy an ounce of gold? An airline ticket? A computer?
    2
  84. Deyoung, you seem clueless about history when much poorer people had lots of children.
    2
  85. This poor girl is fighting back the reality her conscience tells her - she did an evil thing.

  86. Love your retro avatar!

  87. "BBC" There's your problem.
    2
  88. Maybe they didn't want to fit into the traditional stereotypes?
    2
  89. No one in medicine except perhaps surgeons make 600usd/hour. 4,800/day, 24k/week, 1.2mil/year?

  90. Bobby, Living under North Korean rules where the govt. knows every move you make, is not something good.
    2
  91.  @frozenwalkway  frozen, I'm saying your experience is strange, as in America too, rich people pay more for daycare than poor people. That's the way it works. . Now if you are talking about private daycare, then of course, you will have to pay full price. . Kids should stay home with a parent anyway until 6 or 7 years old.
    2
  92.  @Dominus_Potatus  Kevin, if you live in the country, you don't need the caffeine stimulus, so coffee expenditures are zero. 😀
    2
  93.  @zariaeda007  Zariadea, you seemingly didn't read my comment, or didn't understand it, because your response does not address what I wrote.
    2
  94. And sad to see that many of them would just as soon live in North Korea as South!
    2
  95. American wages have increased dramatically in the last 15 years.
    2
  96.  @twowheelsintokyo7039  twowheels, comparing Big Macs is a valuable metric to understand inflation, but not the only one. Also, you need to tell us what the price of a Big Mac was in the past in Japan in order to understand if they have inflation or not. Just comparing the price to other countries doesn't show if they have inflation or not. . Monthly cost of food for me in Japan has gone up roughly 30% over the last 2 years. Salary up about 10%.
    2
  97.  @twowheelsintokyo7039  two, again, you show you don't have a grasp of what "inflation" means. Exchange rates are not inflation. . Don't worry too much about it. . BTW, your cycling videos of Tokyo are quite nice.
    2
  98.  @twowheelsintokyo7039  two, well, it is nice to see you have considered this subject, but still, you are speaking what you know not of in some instances. For example, you say that the value of dollars has been "pushed down", and then try to tie the weakened value of the yen to dollar inflation, which is ridiculous. . Changes in exchange rates are an example of inflation's effects, as you rightly point out, but not in the way you propose. If the growth in US money supply was too fast relative to other currencies, then the usd value should have fallen relative to other currencies. Instead, it has risen dramatically against nearly all currencies, especially against the jpy. . Have you ever considered what "money" is? . You seem to be on a good path to learning what you are writing about. Good luck in the future as you learn more.
    2
  99. ​ @twowheelsintokyo7039  two, Your first paragraph here has some truth, but doesn't come close to explaining what money is, while the second paragraph has nothing at all to do with the subject at hand. . You make some nice videos cycling around Tokyo. . Please stay with making those kinds of videos, as your knowledge of money and economics, while having some bright spots, is far removed from reality in others.

  103.  @almagabriela2021  Alma, Please understand that Gordon doesn't understand the real Japan, just his own school. The fact is, workers in Japan can basically never take a day off work unless all their work colleagues take off at the same time.

  107. People are the government.

  108.  @ratdoto2148  Yes, ratdoto, and teaching Evolution to kids is the fundamental reason they don't want to have kids when they grow up.

  109. @Mehdi GENERAL Your anti-history screed is unamusing. Perhaps you would rather fight one-on-one until all the Japanese were dead? What is wrong with you?!

  110.  @kguerr197  Your anti-reality position is unamusing. Why not believe in your Creator who loves you so much he even died on a cross to save you from your sins?

  112.  Nirmala Prabhakaran  Your twisted view of history is refuted by observed facts - like that just by posting here, you are acknowledging the supremacy of western culture. :) And yes, Adam and Eve were real humans, created by a loving God called "Jesus Christ". If you want eternal life, you will repent, and follow him. Please do so. :)

  115. I would say, based on experience, that the salary most of these women are expecting a year is between 50,000 - 80,000usd. Tokyo and Kyotoites are a bit higher, Osakans a touch less, and probably quite less out in the sticks. Don't need that kind of thinking.

  131.  @tsuivo tsuivo, well, you have, perhaps unwittingly, just shown that PPP cannot purchase anything at all. So my initial observation that PPP is a joke is verified. . Hopefully you will learn about economics and start questioning so-called "scholars" who come up with odd ideas like PPP soon!

  147.  @Myreactionwhen_80085  Biggy, Gaia is the fake earth goddess. The base problem with people not wanting to have kids is that they believe in Evolution, which says that our ancestors were pond scum, and that the less of us humans there are, the better. Also, if abortion was illegal, the problem would be 1/2 solved instantly.
    1
  148. Broken, you have no understanding of the matter. If people would stop believing that their ancestors came from pond scum, they might have confidence in their self-worth and the worth of having children of their own.

  159.  @alui5362 Yes, they were "closed" for around 250 years, but even during that time they kept a tiny window open the outside world. . I would say probably over 90% of clothing now is imported, but I don't know the exact figure. Housing material, semiconductors, etc. are ostly imported.

We were made in the image of God, so let's rejoice in life, not destroy it.

  199. Pai, China especially has seen huge increases in average household income in the past 20 years. Korea has seen a good increase, and Japan not. Depopulation is not related much to income, but to values. If you believe your ancestors were pond scum, and like the woman said at 14:15 that we humans are the problem, then of course we will depopulate. We need to turn to our Creator - Jesus Christ.

  245.  @pompietalks  pompie, agreed 100%. I know I've worked in several companies in Japan where I had some ideas on how to do things better, like put the financials on a computer (35 years ago), but no, I'm a foreigner, and "don't understand the Japanese way". . I do understand that when someone at the top of the company basically forces everyone to change, the employees usually go along very well, but the general attitude of "just keep doing things by the manual" is slowly ossifying Japanese society. . Japanese in general are getting poorer and poorer, and the sudden jpy drop around 2 1/4 years ago has just brought that out much more in the open.
    1
  246. jpy/usd highest rate ever was 79. That was right after the Great Hanshin earthquake in 1995. It hung around 110 for a long time, but 2 years ago start dropping. Japan is a fire sale now for foreigners.

  249.  @eddenoy321  edden, beware that there is a new bill expected to pass in Japan later this year or maybe next, that would strip permanent visa status from people who don't pay into the social health system or taxes.

The truth of the matter is, and you can see that truth in videos here on Youtube, that the demonstration was peaceful, police officers politely walked demonstrators thru the capital building, and initially there was no chaos as reported. . Later, some activists who had infiltrated the demonstrators did a few bad things, and one policeman did a bad thing to one demonstrator. The Leftists gleefully flooded the airwaves and newspapers with reports of how bad it was, and sadly, many people just believed them without researching the evidence for themselves.

  257. Khushi, if your countrymen would stop opening Indian restaurants around the world and calling almost every dish "curry", you might start being taken seriously. Or perhaps you just need to travel more and learn that this term is very good to differentiate from other dishes.

  258. As expected, most of the Indians interviewed in this video have no idea about the outside world, and think India is number 1, so have no clue that when fellow countrymen go overseas and open a restaurant, just about everything on the menu is called "curry".

As for purchasing homes in their 20s, yes, many people around the world purchase homes in their 20s, and no, they don't have to be "rich". . Many children still help out in their families. . Many families are happy to eat, have a roof over their heads, clothes on their backs, and love. . The part about working hours and such is because of the job you chose, not because of what society forces anybody to do. . People's expectations are generally unrealistic, and self-centered today, which is one big aspect of people not wanting to get married or have kids.
