Pretty sure she means in comparison to Japan which is very famously a pretty closed off culture. I watch a lot of these interviews and the way people describe Japanese culture it makes sense. They don’t encourage new friendships after school age. They are polite but not friendly. They just keep to themselves so much, even spouses typically would never mix friend groups. One woman was married for like 8 years and never met her husband’s friends but that was totally normal for her. So comparatively it makes sense what she means.
My Japanese and Singaporean friends told me New Yorkers were so nice and friendly because they weren't used to people saying hello and how are you that they didn't know.
As a pure British man, i can confirm that when she said we are friendly and engage, i couldn't help but laugh 😆 bless her though and her partner hope they stay safe ❤️
@azmard4865 nah, it is true obviously there are nice British people, but yeah, in general, there are a lot of British people who aren't nice at all but to be fair most of them will be from London
The Japanese girl is obviously a gaijin hunter and obsessed with white skin and blonde hair. She even dyed her own hair blonde and stares at him like she got a trophy husband. Even her clothes are trying to seem like a posh Brit from Essex/London.
I’d say majority of Brits range from unpleasant to out right dangerous. It’s a very unsafe country compared to Japan. Japan is simply a higher society than the Uk in every way. It’s great for 90% of people who live there, but if you can’t handle the responsibility of living in such a well functioning society then it’s worth leaving. She will not know until she actually lives in the UK for a few months and then has a child there.
White chapel is an area of London or the best band in Tennessee? Don't judge someone younger than you or atrax morgue music if you leather strip not leather strip. 😊
Their son will be an incel in the UK. Asians or half asians are not treated equally by females in the west. Unless he ends up looking like V from bts he will suffer from loneliness and unable to get a gf. It will be best for them to upbring their son in Japan. If girl however things are positive anywhere.
As soon as she said British people are positive i spat my cup of tea out WHEEZING! We are literally the 2nd most miserable country in Europe what is she on 😂😂
Different point of view. I’m French and my wife is Japanese and we spent 10 years and first raise our kids in France , we moved to Japan 2 years ago and we prefer the school in Japan . The educational system is so much better in my opinion and in my children’s school they have 0 tolerance for bullying, parents can be summoned. (This a Japanese public school) . French educational system became so bad these past years …
And it also allows your children to learn about their other culture and it's language, I thought it was kinda sad that they only want to raised their children in the UK, I think there should be à balance like you and your wife did, the first few years in the UK and the latter years in japan.
well in the US "0 tollerance for bullying" is just a way for the school to cover their own ass, it doesnt actually mean anything. if you report bullying to a teacher they'll just say "oh he was trying to be funny, you cant take a joke?" i mean i was undiagnosed with autism so i didnt understand when people were trying to make jokes, but no, those were not even jokes
True, in UK bullying exists and children can disrespect the parents of their own peers and there was nothing being done about it when reported to the school. Japan has better ways like u mentioned parents can be summoned. This couple will have a big shocked ones they started adulting and raising children of their own racism have been prominent in UK.
You should've just stayed in France. Your kids are going to have a more difficult time adjusting. Plus, since they're mixed and used to a different culture, there's a risk of them being alienated from other kids/students.
Best of luck to you guys. I’m a British guy, my wife is Japanese and we live in U.K.. The culture here is very different to Japan and the culture shock can be strong. I hope they can both work through that as they live together in U.K. Some examples: UK is much more of a low trust society compared to Japan. You have to be more flexible (not let the small things bother you) in U.K. to thrive compared to (what I see) in Japan.
I agree. I’m British too. The amount of knife crime and burglary nowadays is insane but the Japanese wife speaks pretty good English, may be she studied in a English language country before.
@@user-bi8ko7kc6hI’m in Japan now but my gf will go to England for the summer with me then we’ll travel again. She’s excited, I’m wondering how she’ll find it
Unfortunately, mixed kids get bullied anywhere. I’ve seen it in Japan and western countries. Just make sure you guys provide a great security and support for them.
@@rogueirlYep. Doesn’t matter who you are or where you are. If you do ANYTHING slightly different, one kid is going to point it out. Unfortunately for the outcast kid, herd mentality is strongest at that age, so as soon as that kid gets singled out, if there’s other kids nearby, the outcast is done. Absolutely destroyed and can never recover… unless the outcast doesn’t give in and then does something “cool.” It’s tough out there.
I was teased sometimes for being half Asian in the US but not often since I grew up in a very diverse area. The sexual harassment I faced as a minor both from other kids and adult men was much worse and had much more damaging effects than the teasing for my race
"grass is always greener on the other side" i think most people want to experience something new and hence a new culture or area seems so enticing to explore
Its nog a good idea for them to move to the UK. Their kid will look asian and unfortunately (if its a boy) he will struggle hard finding a relationship. Hed have to move to japan and even then hnless he is inherits the white features he will also struggle hard. The same way she rejected asian guys the kid will be rejected by asian girls.
I still think it occurs more often when people are not satisfied with the location they were born or the culture there. Personally, my love for Japanese and Asian culture in general, grew stronger when American culture started going down the tubes, and going against my beliefs/morals.
Of course she is. Compared to her culture British people might be better even tho some aren’t as nice as she thinks, not all British fits the same categories.
No it’s true, Japanese people are very polite but the society is way stricter than western countries. They have some of the highest suicide rates due to their social culture.
I feel like she might be disappointed, but I wish them the best. She seems to be idealistic about England but not sure how much time she actually has spent there. That said, I do understand their decision to live in the UK and personally I'd agree with raising kids in the west compared to Japan. However I'd definately speak japanese at home so they can be bilingual.
I’m British and I lived in Japan 11 years. She’s probably talking about how British strangers are friendly and helpful to each other and how shop staff call you ‘love’ and random old old talk to you at the bus stop. (I’m not from London though so I’m not sure about the capital- general all capitals people are more detached but if you compare London to Tokyo she won’t be disappointed). Japan is polite in customer service but it’s the king of passive aggressive strangers. She probably hates Tatemae culture and I don’t blame her.
Japan is also the country that had to set up a special service at their embassies for Japanese citizens who suffer culture shocks during their visits. I wish I was exaggerating.
It is but compare to some countries it’s worse , it could be less in multi cultural countries like the u.s, I live in New York it’s not much of a problem.
@@waraabebidaarleh3165 umm... as a Russian: no it's not. We have over 190 different cultures and ethnicities and it just makes bullying more casual. Like everyone bully each other and no one pays attention to it because of the amount of bullying.
I don't know when bulling became such a bad thing( probably woman)Bulling does have negative side effects, but also has positive ones like learning to get a thick skin learning to be determined and learning not to seek validation from others around you. The fact that bullying doesn't isn't much of a thing anymore. Explains a lot about child narcissistic behavior. And Why they think the entire world revolves around them? Because parents think that it does, so when they go out in the real world, they have no idea how to handle any adversity 'cause they never had to deal with anything hard.
I do agree with you cause I got bullied by foreign students as an Asian British (although they are Asian as well and only came here for sixth form). It was so stupid because they thought even though I grew up here I should be friend with them not ‘the white’ people. My British friends tried to protect me and stayed with me as much as possible. However those bullies as a group went to the teachers and reported me claimed that I bullied them and stole one of the girls email password. I ended up have a meeting with the principal, she trusted me because she knew me BUT she told me that I only needed to see those students for two years so I should stay quiet. My sister was so angry and threatened the school if those students made up stories again she would get a lawyer involved. Then those girls isolated me in class but at least no more drama happened.
@@user-bi8ko7kc6h I got my tie stolen, and got told off for it. I got punched in the face, in front of a teacher, and got told off for "not trying hard enough to fit in". I got chased into an alleyway and beaten up for calling out bullying, then the kids who did it got off basically Scott free until my mum threatened to go to the media about it. The kids bullying me threatened to kill me every day multiple times per day and the teachers ignored it. They started carrying knives, and it was fine, whereas I had a two volt electric pen and almost got excluded. A lot more than that happened, but in the end, the worst thing that happened to the bullies was that two of them got a detention. It got so bad I had to leave the country. This guy in the video is out of his mind if he thinks his kids would be safer in the UK unless they go to Eaton, which I guarantee he can't afford.
@@user-bi8ko7kc6hHonestly, we Asians get bullied anywhere in the west. The British husband wouldn’t have a clue coz he’s been the ethnic majority the whole time.
These 2 will do great in the UK. I'm English and my wife is Japanese. We lived in Japan for over a decade and now have moved back to England - why? Yes, mainly for our daughter. Japan was great, but England is definitely better for children. (Not big cities like London, though. That's a whole different category.) Ultimately, neither the UK nor Japan are perfect countries, lots of little things can and will get to you, but everyone is different. And these 2 sound like they've already fallen in love with their idea of a life in the UK, which is why they will love it. ❤
Why not big cities I’d say big cities like London are better for kids that aren’t fully white, due to how diverse the cities and schools were. We never really cared about our differences looks wise and I barely experienced racism cuz of that. It’s when I went up north to manny for uni that I experienced quite a bit of racism. Even tho that’s a big city too lol😂
Fr,I've been to japan multiple times and my lord,their fashion sense is on another level,definitely made changes in my wardrobe and overal style because of it,never felt better.
@@tsuyuasui7297 A mix between US and Japan, maybe Korea also as my fiancé is half Japanese half Korean. We wouldn’t want to raise them in the UK because I feel that the UK is falling apart as a country. Primarily USA though because we both love it here, there are a lot of opportunities here.
Three to four years later, the woman is likely divorced and back in Japan. The moment she said Britain has a great culture, we know she hasn’t put a lot of deep thought into what she is getting into.
How, you are just assuming to much hahaha. It is really funny that most people will assume the outcome even they still not see the future. Do you think that makes you more intelligent? I don't think so.
@@aryldeiparine Friend, it’s called being aware of the world. This person is not the first to pursue this path or think this way. As you may know, in this world, similar situations almost always lead to similar outcomes. Our scientific endeavours are even based on this truth. So respectfully, I think you may have demonstrated your own lack of thought with your comment than raise any serious objection about my intelligence.
People saying bullying is everywhere, true but if you’ve read/seen anything about bullying stories in japan u wouldn’t let your kids go to school there either
The comments below are interesting to me. Many non Japanese people admired her looking, mainly her hair and her outfits. I feel this couple is really cute, but I think her fashion and hair are a bit off from my perspective. It would be nice for her to live in the UK, where more people would admire her beauty..
@@KW-sm2rt yea that’s what I meant, people are are acting weird that she said British ppl are nice , everyone’s different some are nice and some aren’t .
Being from the UK 🇬🇧 If i had a choice between educating my children in Japan or the UK, it would be Japan everytime, standards have dropped here over the past 15 years plus there is some form of bullying in every country !
As an ex after school teacher who quit last year I totally agree with you. Not just the students but some parents are pretty much insane to me. No more parenting, let the kids do whatever they want, came to me two weeks before GCSE exam asked me get her kid a pass from a single figure score but only with an hr lesson per week because she doesn’t want to STRESS her kid.
@@user-bi8ko7kc6hWere you honest with the parent or did you just provide the lesson and get paid? Maybe they've tried what they can with the child and its not worked, hence going to you as a last resort.
@@patrickhoneyman9019 it's an after school teachers job to educate children, not to teach them good manners. after school programs are also not the same as daycare. we are teachers, not daycare professionals. we get paid to teach, not to keep kids busy and occupied. if a child refuses to take part in the educational part of the program than they don't belong there. I've had problem students ruin the class for everyone else and you could see other kids who'd made great progress dropping their marks again the second one of these kids entered a class.
Bullying in Japan is on a different level, and teachers as a whole turn a blind eye to it. Things like physical disability and ethnic difference paint a target on your back there in a way that is much more cracked down upon in the UK.
She probably wasn't trying, but she talks to her boyfriend the most. And he has a british accent, so she probably just thinks that words are supposed to be pronounced that way
If you look up her other video on this channel you will see she stayed in the UK, which is where she picked up her accent. I think it was Manchester which explains why she sounds different to him. Never heard a Japanese pretend to sound from Manchester. Most foreigner who want a British accent want to sound like RP.
@@Mojikaji London is pretty friendly imo depending on what you compare it to. I'm from Norway and I visited last week and it was a pretty friendly city and I had a great time. The only ones who weren't friendly was the kids on the train who would behave like jerks which I'm used to from my country already.
@@xu. honestly I agree. I’ve been to London a bunch as I’m not to far away and the people there aren’t bad. Lots of smiling tourists and I don’t understand why people think Britain is miserable. Mabye the weather sometime. It’s like British people think they’re miserable but foreign people don’t. Very odd
She looks a girl who’s been just into fashion and makeup to me maybe because of her outfit and her hair.. Interesting honestly to see many comments here saying she is beautiful.
Hot take, hear me out: outside of London, some of the popular and 'posh' cities like Oxford, and super rough towns, I have found Brits to be pretty damn friendly, with a love for banter and fun. Lots of warm people there, they're totally misrepresented in my opinion. Source: lived in the UK for a year and have travelled all around the UK over the years, know many Britons
The UK is far from perfect (in fact, it’s getting worse again), but at least the school system is less harsh and being mixed, especially in bigger cities, is not going to get you as many strange looks as it would in Japan. Although I have a feeling that this couple’s children will end up very very good looking. 😂
Depends. I grew up in a big city here in the UK as a 3rd generation Asian British. You definitely get strange looks as an Asian looking person compared to black and Indian from my own experience although I’m at my mid age now, things may change a little. It’s much less of a problem compared to being a foreigner looking person in Japan tho. Our education system is f ked, I was a part time after school teacher till last year and I saw the changes 😅 I went to a private school and it was harsh, very harsh. Of course you can choose to some less harsh schools but the exam grades won’t be guaranteed😅
@@AGreyAlien have you looked foreign and went to a typical UK community school? I can promise you that the racism there is a lot less subtle than whatever might happen in Japan. bullying also manifests differently across the world and European bullying tends to be a lot more physically violent as opposed to the Japanese form which leans more on socially excluding somebody. I'd rather my child grows up a bit lonely than die in a hate crime, sorry to say.
I love UK and its history and culture but bullying is a big issue in UK too! My friend and I experienced bullying there because of nationality during our studies in UK ( me Italian and my friend Chinese)
Yep probably few people commenting have lived in both. Only then you can know. There are a lot of similarities between British and Japanese people but even the British are more accepting/friendly in my opinion. Both quite low down in the leader board of open friendliness though haha.
British culture is much more open-minded than Japanese culture. I would never want to live long time in a depressing country like Japan and Korea. Perhaps it is very interesting for visiting, living there is totally different
Japan is the most peaceful place I've ever seen. How is this stressful? I think the guy wants his comfort zone and he presses the girl to leave. I think the girl doesn't seem sure about leaving Japan and it's not her decision in 100%
My first experience in the UK as an American at the age of 8: On one of those typical red busses with the open top doing the tourist thing. I saw a guy with a giant mohawk and yelled out to him "I like your hair" to which he promptly flipped me off. I work with some nice people from the UK though. Tribalism exists in all cultures.
I didn't know that Japan is stressful and has a problem with bullying. This is very sad to know. Hopefully one day, parents will be the example for their children that it doesn't matter what someone looks like. Being kind & respectful of one another is what is important ❤️🙏
All the comments have a false impression of the UK, maybe if people visited actual Britain rather than the busy tourist places they'd see how friendly we actually are
About their takes on the brits idk, but honestly how they wish to live, raise their family, etc., they got a good head on their shoulders, let's hope their life turns out great.
Depuis quand Sanji Vinsmoke est en couple à Tokyo et a cessé la piraterie ? J’ai loupé quelques arcs moi. Sur le fond de la vidéo et du sujet, sachez qu’être en couple mixte au Japon est sympa. En revanche, en Corée beaucoup moins. Ma compagne étant coréenne, plusieurs fois nous avons dû affronter les regards désapprobateurs et les insultes (chuchotées et de loin les insultes, il vaut mieux pour les ivrognes Coréens antipathiques que je ne les entende pas trop). Tous mes potes ont eu la même expérience. Et ayant été au Japon la première fois avec ma compagne en 2015, je peux affirmer que nous n’avons reçus que des sourires complices et des regards doux et approbateurs. Le Japon est clairement plus tolérant et civilisé à ce point de vue là.
Guys, don't be stupid. OF COURSE us British are enthusiastically friendly to stunning feminine young Japanese girls dressed in designer clothing wearing makeup with their hair done. That guy is a lucky sod.
@@NowPerfection indeed. Reason why asian women - white men couples are some of the most common interracial relationships. most common in australia, 2nd most common in us. You have an edge over others in dating, even employability (if you can speak the language fluently) if you're white in asian countries. (Specially noticeable in singapore since a lot of the times you don't need to speak more than english). TLDR; Asians fetishize white beauty standards. And yea in case you're wondering the least popular interracial group, it's as you've guessed; blacks and asians. Thank you if you read all that.
lmao first time I go to London, I ask someone in the street for help cause I was lost. He was speaking so fast I couldn't understand what he was saying and he finish by "you don't speak english?" I said "not that good to understand every...." he cut me and respond "well you should" and then go away
Fewer Japanese emigrate overseas than in neighboring countries. According to a survey, 84% of Japanese respondents said they would like to be born in Japan again if they were born again.
