Yoshi, We’ll done mate. Sadly though, we don’t believe Japan can change. When you are a specialist in history, you’d know that Majority of Japanese, and I am sorry to say, are bigots.

About the mental health issues, it is not just in Japanese. It is true for most east Asian culture here. Basically it is a family issue and we like to keep it within the family and not talk about it with strangers, including doctors, unless it is a private family doctor. One more thing. Not everything you learn from the west works here in the east. So understand them properly then decide if it is suitable for applying it here in Japan. I am a foreigner and have been living here in Japan for nearly 4 years now as a student. I mostly like how things are done in Japan and have adapted to the local life style. Since I am from one of the east Asian countries, it was not a big change, for me anyways.

Refreshing to see someone who can criticize their own culture, it's very rare to find someone who can do that (regardless of where they're from, even here in Denmark). On that note: Do you feel the younger generation are drifting more away from the bad aspects of Japanese culture (social hierarchy, work ethic, stigmatization of foreigners) or is it basically the same?
@yoshikoji8038
@yoshikoji8038 3 года назад
We young people usually have different mindset than older ones, but in many cases, people in charge are still in their 50s to 60s so I can imagine that many companies still suffer from absurd hierarchy/power distance. But in terms of relationship between Japanese locals and foreigners, I see even old people are pretty friendly, when I travel to rural towns with my foreign friends.

The reason mentioned in the original video is that the British narrator George says he has heard several Japanese landlords complain that non-Japanese people frequently never pay the rent payment for the last month of the lease contract. They quickly get on a plane back to somewhere in America or Western Europe leaving unpaid bills far behind.

About the problem of finding a place to rent. Aside from language problems, which could be overcome by going through a rental agency, the biggest problem is the negative impression that previous foreign tenants leave behind. One example is of foreign students leaving a big mess in the apartment when they leave after graduating. The owner have to spend a lot on repairs and clean ups. Another example is foreigners who do not want to follow the rules, especially concerning how to handle garbage disposal. Here in Japan we have a garbage calendar that tells you on what day a certain type of garbage will be collected. I have come across foreigners who just throws, for example, plastic garbage when it is only due for collection next week. So their garbage would occupy the garbage collection box for 1 week and become an eye sore. That garbage is also taking up space from other families who shares that garbage collection box, when they need to throw out other appropriate type of garbage. I am a foreigner myself and I can understand if Japanese property owners are reluctant to rent out to foreigners. But not all foreigners are bad ones. A small minority of foreigners are people who like a clean place to live, like me. As some of you have seen, Japanese neighborhoods and streets are kept very clean.

I'm worried about getting an IT job in Japan because of the restrictions. And the another thing is that we know that Japan has an extreme work culture. When Japanese companies offered burmese students to work in Japan, they said that foreigners like me were not be forced to work too hard, but I think the job opportunities will be scarce if we could not do as much as Japanese workers.

@pouncepounce7417
@pouncepounce7417 3 года назад
Given that the average human starts to make more and more errors after an 8 hour workshift i think "working a lot because working long shifts" is a myth. Sweden made an experiment in an clinic having people working 6 hour shifts instead the usual 8 or 9, they did need to hire more people but it turned out cheaper in the long run due to fewer errors made, so if you have an work enviroment where it is easy to make an error and that results in high costs then it seems less is more.... Aside there is the concept of giving lazy but smart people jobs, they will find you ways how to do the task quicker and with less work involved, naturally.

Thank you for saying that!! My opinion is more like we should of course talk if that is a severe issue which will impact our relationship for a long time, but not minor problems that you can forget in a few days and do not happen again over and over. But I know in most cases it is healthier to talk about them haha I guess it is also because I grew up hearing Japanese sayings such as ”言わぬが花”(some things are better left unsaid) ”口は災いの元”(The mouth is the source of all disaster).

"Most problems start small… let’s keep them that way" maybe a western concept when at least it comes to love :D though don't talk about problems during emotional times - thats petrol in the fire

Apparently Japanese land loads are also worried foreigners won’t pay last months rent before leaving. Although I can’t prove that with statistics, I live in America and people leave there apartments without paying their last months rent and have to get taken to court pretty frequently. Not everyone does it but It’s common enough that most people at least know someone who’s done it.

Great video, and I'm glad you can speak out against your native culture where you see wrong, god knows I can definitely do that about my own. The only thing I disagree on is relationship stuff; communication is key and reaching a mutual understanding and in my experience solves more problems than it causes, at least when not done in an accusatory manner. I also absolutely *detest* Japan's more lax attitude towards relationship infidelity, that just baffles me.

I am a international student here in Japan and we have very bad experience with Indian master students. I should say, they gave us a very bad impression of Indian students. Most of us are from east Asian countries too, so we were really shocked at how this group of Indian master students disrespect their Japanese hosts. For example, one of them got drunk so bad he had alcohol poisoning. An ambulance had to come to the dorm. It had never happened before with other nationalities. In another case, Indian students snuck in girls from outside (non-students) into their rooms. I heard that they got kicked out of the dorm after they were discovered.

We call our slippers "zori" and sometimes we do wear them with white socks lol. Of course Saipan had a much better time than Guam during the 40's. Many of our most strong, smart, caring, and village leaders were executed unfortunately..

日本でフリーランスとをやったら、事務所なしでビーザが余りもらわないじゃないですか? 僕の場合はN1を持ってるんですが、その意外の資格はないし。 だから、日本で仕事を見つかるはさておき、ビザをもらうのは非常に難しいと言われています。

14:50 as a western person learning japanese, I don't actually think the language itself is "that" hard. It's just that learning the kanji is a massive bottleneck and like an insurmountable wall. To the point that it makes me doubt the sanity of all japanese people who go through the pain of learning them and then force next generations to do the same.

I was almost hoping for a joke when it came to the cure for depression. "You should be happier" was just PPPPPlain funny as a cure for depression. Though an optimistic attitude does help for a healthier lifestyle.

In Europe RC is standard, but there are much more layers added to it, there is inside and outside insulation, double or tripple glass windows. So your energy consumption for heating is very low and you don´t hear your neighbours. In Japan even in a concrete-build mansion you can hear your neighbours walking and talking. It´s alwyas interesting how Japanese people defend the fact that landlords (or employers) discriminate foreigeners. "It´s because they are afraid of dealing with other cultures and etiquetts", they say. In Europe and elsewhere we call it rasism. When nobody wants to seat next to me in the subway because I am a foreigner, it´s also rasism, but this happens to me very frequently in Japan. In my country it is punishable by law and prevention of it is a big issue in public discussion and a subject to teach in schools. Not so in Japan. Thank you for your "Stuck in the past" analysis. Yes, it´s the problem of education and absolute lack of critical duscussion culture in Japan. If nobody questions things, if nobody can speak out openly and frankly his own oppininion nothing will change. And that´s why Japan is static and not moving forward. In my observation things are getting even worse, elder generations of Japanese were more open minded. As for making friends it´s not only about speaking English. It´s actually what you mentioned when you talked about relationships. There is no other culture where silence is so much appreciated as in Japan. People in any other cultures I know of, even in Asia, are more outspoken and tend to say their opinion directly. Japanese communication is entirely different in that aspect, you don´d discuss, or question, you just accept things mostly as they are. It´s all connected to "wa", the harmony, which is more imprtant than anything elese. Even when a foreigner speaks Japanese it is very difficult to communicate for him/her. If your English fried would have left Japan in the corona time to visit her relatives in the UK, she would not be allowed back to Japan for almost a year. Sorry, but that´s not how a country treats its residents.

This is in response to your subway comment. So if I don't want to sit next to you I am racist? So in the west, you use the "racism" excuse to squash my freedom to choose. Is that what you they are doing in the west. I don't want to sit next to you maybe because you have body odor, or you make me uncomfortable. That is my right, and you have no right to take that away from me. If it makes you uneasy, suck it up. The other person is also feeling uneasy, so please understand that. To me, this is the problem in the west. If things do not go your way, you call it racist, even if it takes "freedom" away from the person (the person you call a racist). It is so pathetic.

As a military brat, Dad in Air Force stationed in near Tokyo, me and a friend decided to take the train down to the Ginza. We got on early, and were seated. As the train filled later down the line two very elderly Japanese ladies in dark kimonos, got on, looked around and seeing them Dale & I got up and offered them our seats. Dale was blond & blue eyed, I was a 6'1" 15 year old. After one and twenty bows they sat down. I looked around, we stood out like neon signs, one with a yellow shirt the other baby blue and as far as you could see were dark haired, dark suited, white shirted Japanese men, seated, glaring at us. Being teenagers we were oblivious. Later a friend said after I described the scene that we made them lose face even thou few , then, would have offered the ladies their seats. Another time my Dad was golfing with some Japanese generals and one hit a ball into the water hazard, the caddies were all women. The general pointed to the lake and his caddie, who was about 4'5" took off her shoes, waded out, ducked under like she was diving for pearls and retrieved the ball, soaked to the skin and sloshed around the course hauling golf bags taller and heavier than themselves. Definitely different customs. I remembered this no matter where I went.

I feel so blessed that my passion for Japan overshadows my anxiety at meeting new people and overcoming my fiery independence. I'm willing to *try* to communicate with someone who doesn't speak English. I've even managed to have a fairly fluid conversation with non-English speakers such as those from India, whose accent is often *very* hard to understand when you're not used to it. I make it known ahead of time, prior to anything being discussed that I may need them to speak slowly so I can better understand them at first. Basically, help me help you ^^ and this approach works really well! I'm also very blessed that I know of several Japanese and South Korean families here on Vancouver Island, who are willing to help me whenever I go into their place of business and are willing to let me practice my Japanese or Korean ^^ As for jobs, I'm very adapt in horse care. I've worked as a groom, trainer, and have even owned my own horses in the past and to this day, I still ride on weekends and help with camps where horses are used. I thoroughly enjoy working with them and have built quite the reputation as a caring person when it comes to the horses placed under my care. I've also worked as a camp councilor where horses were used (such as horse camps) and many camp contractors have found that the kids placed under my care, were also very happy with me and with being around me. I encouraged where most would of discouraged them. I have personally found that, if you're willing to make the effort to learn the culture, the language and understand at least *some* of the basic rules and regulations, most countries and their people, become very accepting of you. They may, for a time, view you as an outsider, but over time, this turns to acceptance with every accomplishment you make as a person growing in their culture and country. Whenever I visit my friends' restaurant (Karai Sushi) her mom, whose NOT a hugger by nature and culture, openly hugs me and often times, gives me extra food in my order (because I've openly told them I love their cooking! But sadly, it's also very expensive when you live on disability such as I do :c ) During the height of the pandemic, whenever they wouldn't see me for x number of days, she'd make it her personal mission to check in on me, often bringing me food, snacks, and or a simple hug (my depression was super bad at that time) and on several occasions, she invited me over for dinner and was (pleasantly) surprised when I abided by her culture's rules of the home (no outside shoes on etc). Sadly, when her husband passed away last year, she felt lost in the sea of well wishers. Her daughters later confided in me that their mom felt overwhelmed by it all, so I asked if she'd be offended if I stepped in to help and they said they didn't think she'd be offended but grateful for the help. When we later approached her with the idea, she simply hugged me (rather tightly I might add) and said she was grateful to have me as her 'third daughter' (she'd only had two children). Honestly? I was grateful to help someone who'd been so helpful when I'd needed it the most.

I'm a white American and I totally support you're preference for your own race/citizens. I feel there much is more to consider besides race, such as the ability to socially reciprocate on an equal basis. If a foreigner moves in yet is unable to reciprocate socially, that is a potential detriment to another person's life. In my experience for example, at work Its a very big difference to spend time with someone who has no knowledge of our culture for 8+ hours a day, every day, versus a person who has seen the same 1,000 American movies I have. I feel like that is a valid consideration and there are others, which is why i feel it is important to let individuals choose what they prefer as they are the most knowledgeable about their own needs. In America, our government is letting in millions of people from very violent nations who're not causing problems and we have people chaining themselves to pillars at train stations so as not to be pushed into oncoming trains (New York). I hope nothing like that happens to Japan.

I like Japan, but... the endless rules are not all sensible. Irrational, counter-productive, and harmful rules and laws are very common in Japan (there are plenty other countries too, I could certainly spend days talking about those in mine, but Japan has unusually many) ...and there is a big difference between "peace" and "order and quiet". You can have "order and quiet", that is extremely unfair and oppressive, making it far from peaceful. Japan mainly just focuses on "order and quiet". On keeping up appearances, at the expense of dealing with the actual reality.

To be honest, not accepting foreigners as a renter is a terrible example of how racism seems actually acceptable as long as enough do it. And please do not deny that it's racism but " fear for the unknown" because those are actually in core the same thing. I love Japanese culture and i respect the way of life to an extend as a foreigner when i read/hear/see things about it. but some things are seriously wrong socially in this country and the decline of the population is a terrible result of many of them. I guess it's the almost xenophobic island-mentality that still has a great influence here, and in that, Japan is certainly not alone.
