To the foreign people in the comments here. Thank you for loving Japan! We Japanese love foreign people and cultures too! Life in Japan is fun, but of course there are things and people we don't like to meet. But I'm just so happy to see all the comments! I love you all! From a Japanese high school sophomore female.
I’m learning Japanese so I can go to Japan in high school -or maybe it was middle school😅- I’ve always been interested in Japan and there culture, and my town has a thing so you can go to Japan! It might’ve been your 2nd year of middle school but I’m in my first year of middle school😅
People love to give the impression that Japan is a very formal society but I honestly love seeing the crackhead energy coming from the students. Humanizes them
japan is a formal society really. it's just that they are friends/bestfriends in their school that's why they acted like that. when i went to japan last year, adults, teenagers and kids are very formal to each other and to me. that's why their dialect changes when speaking to someone they know, close to them and to a stranger. from Ohayou Gozaimasu (formal), Ohayou -san (someone they know) and Ohaaaa~ (bestfriend/friend).
@@わわ-l8w Hello, I'm Japanese! I am a student now, but the daily life at school is really shining and I never get tired of it, and I love school so much that I hate school holidays.😊
As college students have more "things they can do", they will have more diversity, such as drinking, dating, specialized study, and club activities. Certainly, "playful behavior" is reduced. It depends on the person.
What are you expecting? Them to publish their own dejection on a website? When someone like me from Asia sees American tiktoks, it seems like they are having a lot of fun. Like they purposefully upload just content showing them have fun.
Ik your not saying Japan iss soo much better I wanna live there or something. But, some do and it makes me irritated sorry. Ik the tiktoks are wholesome and brings you to a good mood but I am just saying.
I am Japanese. Now I am 20. My high school life is the best memory in my life. I want to go back to it so much that just looking at it makes me want to cry.
I am from europe too. My time in school wasnt rlly good (because noone liked me back then) but wasnt bad either. I can see, why everyone wants to go back. Its because of the stress we hadnt at that time, or at least it seems like it. Tbh, I dont want to go back. Even though alll the adults always told us EVERY DAMN DAY how much easier we have it and that we should enjoy our time, I couldnt. Thats because I hadnt quiet the selfesteem, that I have now. Thats why I will never wish to go back again. I am right there where I belong to be and thankful for every new day I can work on my future to get better and shiner and full of colours. Colours I have never expirienced in my school days. You should too! Life is an invitation to form you future, step by step. On the end of my way too long commentar I wish you a pleasent day/night! Bye
Thank you for liking our culture so much. I see a lot of people saying that we’re so formal and we’re very strict. But we’re as much crackheads as everyone else
LMFAO, honestly these Japanese kids seem to be having way more fun than me when it comes to high school. I hate high school because it’s so boring and bleak to me and seeing these kids enjoy themselves makes me wanna join in on the fun. Man the American school system sucks smh. 😤
I didn't realize that I was watching this at 2x speed so the whole time while watching, I was gravely amazed at how fast they were, but also shockingly terrified at the same time.
In Germany if you get caught, even if its just a bottle of water, than you get deeply grounded and that sucks, especially in summer when it's hot. Depending on your teacher you coud either just be warned or they ask you to stay longer as punishment or give you other types of punishment like cleaning the classroom for example. If you do shit and get to asked to clean the classroom thats bad for you but good for the students who need to do that. IDK if all schools here do that but the schools I had ben to had a system that each week 2 students get assigned to clean the classroom (except moping the floor, this was for a payed cleaner who comes each day to clean the floors). My classrooms also had at least 1 plant or more so the kids who had to clean the classroom also had to take care of the plants, but mostly these kids only checked if the board was clean after school and than left the room
I would love being a teacher in Japan. For the most part, they are far more respectful toward teachers than students and parents are in the US, the UK, or Australia.
I crave for this kind of teenagehood so badly… it makes me regret doing four years of my highschool education online. I just really, *really* hope I’ll have fun, silly experiences like these in college later on.
@@drbadassx11 Oooh sure ! 😊👍 It's "Kimi no Na Wa" from the anime "Your Name" 💜 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-woAHwpOLmyY.html Have a good day ✨
Honestly my school is pretty good but everyone is always busy rushing from class to class, we don’t have time to hang out like this during school. And unlike Japan, we usually have different classmates for each class, which makes it harder for us to form close bonds
I really wish my high school was as fun as this…my American high school classmates are extremely judgmental and saying the wrong thing will definitely get you beat up one day, it’s honestly just plain sad. The only way I’m surviving is having no opinion on things and not talking unless someone else says something first
I honestly love the culture and history and really admire their educational system and really wish to attend school like this there. However, I'm sadly too broke to afford it😂 plus my school does not do student exchange which is even worse. hopefully I get my chance to study there soon! Edit: okay before anyone else comes at me for this I'm just gonna point this out. I was literally complimenting this girls video and an talking about an aspiration I have. Thank you for the concern but stop trying to assume I'm some dumb, brainless, anime-obsessed person who doesn't know how to research or have common sense. Every education system has flaws and Japan is not exempt from this. I'm very away of the culture and the system but it doesn't push me away in the slightest and I feel it suits the person and type of learner I am. That was literally all I was saying but you guys just had to come for me...
In my opinion I think you’ve only seen the glorified side of the Japanese education system. It is extremely taxing on students, students are much more likely to get depression and other mental illnesses. Stress is huge and it can sadly result in students ending things. Japanese has one of the highest game over rates.
@@Just_shush_now I've seen both sides of the system but that still doesn't stop me from wanting to study there. I understand the statistics and I know the societal pressure but I still would love to study there. I appreciate your opinion but I know more than the glorified Japan.
If you're really serious about studying in Japan, there are a number of scholarship programs for highschool and college education. (Local consulate/embassy should also have some info.) Japanese universities have special entrance exams for full-time international students, which takes into consideration the difference in Japanese language ability. I've met people from NZ, Australia, Russia, Mongolia, South Korea, Taiwan, Colombia, Peru, Mexico, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Brazil, Canada, China, and the US...who graduated Japanese universities and work in Japan. Having a college or graduate degree from a Japanese university also helps with job searching and visa application. This may be counter-intuitive but from I've seen, the greatest mistake foreign nationals make is that they don't get enough language training before they come to Japan. Life will be so much easier if you can easily read/write and communicate with people around you.
This reminds me of when I live there and it’s so nice 😭😭😭😭😭 I have so many school memories flooding in I might cry bc I miss my Japanese friends sosososos much 😍
Wish we had an actual childhood like these ones You hear how strict and old fashioned japan is but look, they are having so much fun School for me was miserable, everyone was an enemy who you had to beat in the exams. The concept of friends barely existed for us. The only fun we had was at home watching cartoons on the telly
I'm half Japanese and I just wish one of the top japan tiktoker would post a picture of my dad with his details that I am looking for him for 28years now... he lives in Nagoya, I wish I can find him before it's too late. I got separated from him at age 4. I wish I can find him.
@@nordindelosreyes3473 thank u. I'm in hongkong now. I was adopted by Chinese. but my Chinese father passed already and told me to find my real father.
this brings back good memories of silly stuff like taking rubber duckies to school and doing flips down the hallways. The years need to stop moving ;w;
I love watching this because one of the biggest things I hear about Japan, is that the locals are always jealous of tourists and foreigners, but here I am jealous of them because their life looks so much more fun and enjoyable. Of course I understand that Japan has it's own problems, every place has them. But i can't help but be envious, sorry 😅
In my school in America a lot of the fun they have would get us suspended, or even expelled and for some even arrested. I wish I could have that kind of fun :/
2:37 reminds me of this letter a German mother shared many years ago where her son's school informed her that her son took a bread toaster to school and made breakfast in class ...
