The Untold Truth About The 'Love Is Blind Japan' Cast! 

This show was a rollercoaster of emotion. I like how the ones who didn’t get married decided to tell the person before they went to the alter. Ryo and Mo were the cutest couple ever, I almost screamed when I saw she went blonde also😍💕

Y'all are trippin about Pri. She was asking him questions constantly because he kept answering really vague, often contradictory or unfounded answers. She saw through his lies and wanted to dig through the truth, rightfully so. Also it is a marriage, it's not a date, so I support her asking about topics such as finances, businesses ...etc. Would you guys rather have the "amber" situation where she waited until a few days before marriage to tell her fiance about her crippling debt? Didn't think so. Pri is clearly an educated, business minded woman and treated this show seriously.

Watched the American, Brazilian, and Japanese versions and I found it so interesting to see how the dating dynamic changes according to their culture.

I guessed both couples that got married correctly . The comedian I believe had the biggest facade . His true personality was the opposite of what he pretends to be , but nobody talks about that

I loved the Japanese version. It was so realistic, human and poetic. It felt like they all really tried to understand one another and everyone was actually trying vs just making out all the time and jumping right into sex with someone you don't even know. It did frustrate me how they all struggled so hard to communicate their feelings but I understand that's the culture. They tend to keep emotions to themselves. But everyone was so respectful of one anothers feelings and when someone wasn't interested or couldn't do it anymore they respected that, unlike the American version where the men were so clingy and rude whenever the women said they weren't interested. I was disgusted by how many of the American men acted compared to most of the Japanese men. I sometimes felt like I was watching a romance movie with the Japanese version. It was so enjoyable and I absolutely adored the guy with the white hair and his girlfriend. They were precious and seem so perfect togetger. I hope they're still together.

Pri spoke on how she was nervous about money because of the fact her father lost all his money due to poor choices and she has a fear of her partner repeating what her father did. So it makes sense she would want her partner to be secure and able to make good choices, not throwing money around to be flashy but smart about finances. I think the editing latches onto the idea about her being nervous about money and choose to edit it in a way that wasn’t very clear on it being her worried as a result of what her family went through but rather wanting a rich husband. She didn’t like how he lied and wasn’t open about his situation and that’s what stresses her out. I don’t think she was truly ready for marriage to anyone, but she thought she was and went on the show to find someone who didn’t just try to date her because of her beauty and having had been Miss Japan

Priya was smart. She asked about work because he was unclear & lied. She didn't like him being pretentious cause clearly that is how wreckers & impulsive he is in real life. Like he kept saying "She knows what she wants!"

About the wine thing, the reason she was upset was because of his comment about getting the most expensive one (even if he couldn't afford it), which means that he could be reckless with money.

Ryotaro and Motomi are my favorite couple!!! They are the reason why i kept on watching. I was a bit tense during the "meet the parents" episode but all in all it turned out great. I wish nothing but HAPPINESS for them ❤️

Motomi and ryotaro is my favorite couple! Majority of the rest seems like they're there for fame or exposure (especially for the song-writer and the young 23 yo hair stylist)

As an American, I was more interested in their culture and their approach to everything. Many looked inward and really pondered on questions they had. It was very emotional. ( I told my teenage son to watch the show because he loves everything Japanese.) I thought they were all sweet.

Okay the thing about Pri asking about Mizuki’s career goals only started because she started to feel like he would not be able to provide for her as much as she can for him. She reacted that way about the wine regardless if they were the ones to pay for it or not because Mizuki didn’t even hesitate to go for the expensive wine. That says a lot about someone’s character, so Pri I think from there just started bombarding him with career questions cause she wanted to see if Mizuki’s bold and spontaneous consumption of expensive things can be justified. Because if not, then that’s just irresponsible spending. Pri is literally a catch, she’s beautiful, smart and successful. She deserves someone who’s just like her.

Shuntaro is over hyped imo. He said he can only express his deep feelings when he's drinking. When he and Ayano had the confrontation (where she said he spoke to her like an employee), he seemed very tipsy. Relying on alcohol makes communication struggles worse. It's a red flag. He also admits multiple times that he has trouble opening up in general, but he gets less criticism for it. Two people who already have trouble opening up will bring out the worst in each other.

The 2 married couples each have a baby now ☺️ both of which were born in the same year!

Update: Ryotaro & Motomi had a baby Wataru & Midori got married and had a baby girl Ayano is officially dating Mori Mizuki came out with his own pop up pudding business Priya came out with her own skincare line

As an American, this show made me ashamed to call myself American. So dignified and calm.

I think ayano has experienced something difficult in her life. She is extremely reserved and doesn't really show her real self at all. She comes off as superficial and fake but I dont think it's for malicious reasons.

The number one cause of divorces in the world is finances ... its important to be open and transparent up front to someone ur marrying not like a girlfriend or boyfriend ... its not as important for short term relationships ... but for someone ur marrying is one of the most important .... plus priyanka doesn't like people coming across as super extravagant in front of others ... image is super important in Japanese society

I was laughing so much when Priya was grilling Mizuki. She is very smart, asking questions from different angles. Then catching all the lies haha.

I think they paid for their own meals bc some people eat fairly extravagantly while others had like a mint. 🙄 (Some girls also got a million roses while others got nothing.) It also makes sense for Priya to grill the guy about his money because she knows it doesn’t add up. Finances is an important part of a marriage so you really need to know before you say I do. She went bankrupt before so she needs to be extra careful with her money. If she was in it for the fame, she would have pretended to be nice and cute and makes up some stuff to dump him at the altar. I think Kaoru actually really tried. She finds him funny but somethings like not remembering her name and keep eating his food when she opened herself up to him is just unacceptable.

I was just mad that they didn't have a reunion show like the American version where all the cast members that made it out of the pods got together and talked about what had happened.

As someone who has been to Japan on exchange and has friends there, weddings cost A LOT of money and as a result, lots of couple don’t have the big wedding ceremony but rather their wedding day in the day the papers go through and they are legally considered married so they will have dinner together and maybe with friends and family to celebrate, and sometimes they will have a ceremony later on but not always. Motomi spoke on how she never wore a wedding dress when she was married the first time, because they didn’t do the ceremony

Love the show. I am now a big Japan Fan. I loved how much class & well manners each one of them had. I am from Germany. I would love to see a follow up season.

I immediately fall in love with Ryotaro. His personality is so much like my boyfriend’s. Iam sure he is a kind person IRL too.❤

I know from the beginning that Shuntaro and Ayano would not work.

They should have love is blind cafes where they have pods set up exactly like this. You can go in and talk to someone random. If you're interested in someone you can exchange contact info and schedule a time to come back and talk some more. Those who don't meet in person after a certain amount of visits won't be allowed back though.

Please make the follow up video when more info is available! I watched it, but I feel not a lot of people did. I'm a sucker for "Love is Blind", watched all versions and seasons.

Kaoru looks like a long lost sister of Lee Dong Wook

I’m a native Japanese and watched this one first, then American season 1 and Brazil. The biggest difference was nobody went to the alter and said no at the wedding. Ayano and Shuntaro were close, but they broke up before the wedding.

I loved it. Can't wait for a season 2

This show was definitely different, pretty drama-less; it was fascinating how polite and passive they were, a number of ppl werent authentic and open with their feelings but i also didnt see the connections in the pod, the conversations seemed so sterile and encumbered but perhaps im just used to western conversations where ppl emote a bit more.

I hope they do a Korean one!!

SPOILERS Motomi y Midori informaron sobre sus respectivas relaciones en instagram recientemente. Motomi y Ryotaro siguen juntos y muy felices. Midori y Wataru van a firmar los papeles de casamiento en marzo. Siguen juntos y felices también.

Wow thank you for this review!! Love this

IDK, I really liked Midori. She was really focused on Wataru's appearance at first but I can understand her. Doesn't matter either way as they both fell in love 😍! They're my favourite couple 🙂

I literally cried at motomis and ryotraos wedding - they are soo respectful und cuute🤧🤧🥺

I absolutely loved watching Wataru and Midori. Also Motomi and Shintaro of course. Congratulations to Motomi and Shintaro on their baby boy! Love is Blind Japan is by far my favorite version of the show♥️

I'm disappointed that they didn't bring everyone together for an American style reunion show. However, i understand that that's too confrontational for japanese culture and the contestants would never agree to it. It might even scare other Japanese people from applying to future seasons. It's still a shame though. Shuntaro and the doctor really annoyed me. They would tell the cameras how they felt, but not their partners. Then they would judge their partners behavior or reactions harshly while their partner had no idea how they feel because these guys WON'T COMMUNICATE.

I’m American but Love is blind Japan was my favorite out of the different countries. It was good to see how well they save face instead of saying things without much thought.

im obsessed w this show ! just finished it. however, i didnt like how some couples who didnt make it just randomly stopped showing up for the episodes but besides that its so good !

I truly enjoy watching the different cultures navigate relationships, love! So interesting!!

I binge watched American and Brazil ILB seasons 2 of the former and 1 of the latter. Then turned to Japan. The cultural differences and nuances were interesting of the 3 continents. Japan was sanitized and so courteous. Impressed. Not sure if I will watch another season though

Sorry but Priya has every right to find out about EVERYTHING about his finances because if they're married, finance will be thee biggest factor in EVERY aspect of their life. It makes sense eps if she doesn't want to be with someone who will be a financial burden. Loving their personality was already established when they chose each other. But you don't live and eat love. Love isn't going to keep your stomachs full at the end of the day, and having a partner who lives beyond their means and comes into the relationship with no concept of money will break relationships. She's obviously not with him for his money, but doesn't mean she shouldn't protect herself from someone who might be with her for hers. Seems like Mizuki doesn't have enough knowledge in business and for him to call himself a restaurateur is a joke esp if he doesn't understand the costs involve.

I love the Japanese version, and we need a version 2

The dermatologist was crazy. He was gaslighting the girl for being “direct”. I couldn’t stand watching the JP version. Everyone is so effing passive / indirect and my blood pressure goes up watching the episodes LOL. I lived in Japan for a year (Im Korean) and even for a korean it was suffocating as hell cuz everyone is so damn passive and people don’t say what they mean. Midori and Wataru are pretty direct for Japanese people (b/c they lived in the States before).

Motomi is 6 months pregnant as of Nov 11, 2022. Midori is also Pregnant. 2 months ahead I think.

Both couples are still together, very much in love and expecting babies :)

아무도 언급하지 않았지만, 러브이즈블라인드일본편은 음악이 최고였다. 음악은 그들의 널뛰는 감정을 매우 섬세하게 표현했고, 한편의 영화로 만들어주었다. 정말 배경음악들이 인상깊었다.

Always good to see the difference of culture with love is blind , great idea

Season 1 = Hamilton couple Japan = Rytaro & Motomi couple Best couples

Loved it!

People are way too harsh and judgmental. I thought the majority of the cast were respectful and sweet; especially compared to the American version. People just need to chill.

The girl that married the rich guy was cool until she said they’ll say I married for money, and then said my reaction was weird I was pretty suspicious. Girl, who says that. But in all fairness why was that old man even there that’s so weird to include such an old person with such young people. & why did he even mention his wealth. Unless she’d have to follow rules like a royal that should be left as a nice surprise for loving him. In my opinion

I have been watching this on Cornys channel. I really enjoyed the program.

“They are legally married but haven’t submitted the forms yet.” Uh… which means they’re not legally married lol? Calling bs on “it’s kinda longer procedure to do in Japan.” I got married in Japan and unless one or both of you aren’t Japanese nationals, procedurally, no, it doesn’t take that long. Aside from the form, you need signatures + details of two witnesses, a copy of your koseki and submit the forms to the city office.

Midori is too rude. The rudeness doesn’t translate so well to English but it’s there babes. Poor watoru.

Kaori's father is ASKA!? O M G🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 I can't believe! Then I have a question why she had to be a part of this series of Love is blind. 🤔🤔 Just she wanted to be famous? anyway His voice is incredible and super powerful 👏

They said they had to wait for the last episode to air for them to get the paper work done as to not ruin any spoilers....thought that was kinda messed up

I thought all the women were lovely and sincere and gracious in the way they expressed themselves. I have nothing negative to say about any of them. I thought they all made wise decisions. A few of the men are not mature enough for marriage yet, but they all seemed like honorable people. I wish them all well. I hope both couples stay together.

The only thing that was on my mind when listening to Ayano is that she obviously had Botox (no shame, go live your best life, sweetie!) which made it super hard for me to read her face. It just wasn't moving at all. I don't mean to be rude here, it was just an observation. I had a hard time telling what she was feeling and if it was matching her words or not. Apart from that I would never judge anyone on that show. I have no idea what it must be like. I enjoyed the Japanese version a LOT generally, because I loved the way the people communicated with each other. It was deeply respectful - with a lot of empathy & honesty mixed together. It's 100% my vibe and I enjoyed every second of it. Also seeing men being emotionally supportive with each other is something that got me hooked on the show immediately. It's what I want to see in life and it made me smile a lot. (Hi from Germany!

A year later--both couples have a child together.

love how the guys became friends

loved love is blind japan

motomi and ryotaro is so cute, i love them!

I really loved this show. It was so interesting to see japanese people deal with issues in relationships and communication.

MIDORI AND WATARU HAVE A BABY!!!

Not just wealthy, Shuntaro seemed a great guy, an amazing catch, I’d date him in a Japanese heartbeat! ❤️

Ayano is just so fake. I'm glad Shuntaro backed out in marrying her.

Shintaro should have never been on that show. You don’t pair an almost 60 year old with 20 or 30 year olds!! This ain’t a sugar daddy-sugar baby show! And no, this has nothing to do with BS excuses of “respect for the elderly”. Huge 🚩 when Shinaro stated that his number 1 was anyone vulnerable to cadoole and his obvious rage whenever Aya didn’t comply to his expectations were alarming! Especially at the end when he rejected her and he wanted her to dig into his own feelings when he completely disregarded her OWN feelings about being rejected. Ergh, cringe factor galore.

Atsushi was horrendous. Really, dude? The wife do all your dirty laundry and the housework? Nah man

isn't this the same voice as from kookielit?

Love is blind Japan was the best!

I love how you don’t see them all over each other like the American version, very respectful and traditional

"Hafu" is considered as an outdated term by many, as it comes across fairly derogatory. Therefore it would have been better if you used that term with a bit more caution. An example might be when English speaking people used to use the term "half caste" for mixed race people (especially to describe black and white people). Now that there are a lot of mixed raced Japanese people, it's quite rude to generalise them as "hafu" (meaning "half") because it only acknowledges that they are part Japanese and doesn't respect what else they are, as if the Japanese part is the only part of importance or relevance. And therefore it's derogatory because some people use that term to signify that they see those people as less than, because they are not fully Japanese.

The japan version was the best the other ones like Usa,And brazil were so tacky

FIRST!!

Spoiler: just saw a new post from Motomi on Instagram and assuming the translation was correct, she was in fact pregnant on their wedding day and they have an adorable baby boy! 😭😍

For me, LIB Japan was the closest to season 1 of LIB USA. Yes, Respect, building Trust and Love, and Decency were the keys.

This was a good watch although one of these girls is just so fake. I feel bad for the guy to invest his time on it

GOOOOOD I NEED A Shuntaro in my LIFE 😂😂😂😂😂😂

It’s funny people always shame those who they are jealous of. Let Ayano have a happy life and stop look shaming

I wanna watch this but I feel like I would get too frustrated with the lack of expression and emotion that I’m used to . I like it when people express themselves a lot and when it’s all low and not expressive it’s hard for me to get into it

For Priya, remember most couples get divorced because of financial difficulties. This is why I would not get married unless I was financially stable and expect the same of my partner. I do not want a rich person because I prefer people with the same background who built up. That being said, I relate to Priya. Wanting an ambitious and stable man is not the same as wanting a rich man. There are rich lazy men who rely on family name and fortune. If you grew up poor or lost a home like she did, you understand the importance of financial security and intelligence even more.

I like the Japanese version better. They do take it very seriously.

I was cheering so much for the doctor and the architect, too bad they don't end togheter :((((

Didn’t Motomi gave birth ? I saw her with a baby on Instagram but maybe I got it wrong

Reality shows are just realistic fiction, I mean, just enjoy the show lah ❤️

My girlfriend and I were questioning why the Japanese couple show know affection? With the US, Sweden and Brazil, there is lots of human affection, intimacy, etc. With the Japan series, there was none of that. Does the Japanese culture just keep that under lock and key and never speak of intimacy and never any public displays of affection? Not even in their homes did they kiss, make out or talk of sex. Seems odd. How do you know what your physical chemistry is like if you rarely, if ever touch one another. A big part of a relationship is how the person makes you feel, physically and emotionally. That desire to want to be with your partner! For example, with my girlfriend, we didn't have a list of check boxes like these people do. A lot of the heart of a romantic relationship is that heat and spark. You see none of that in the Japanese series. I can't get enough of my partner and she feels the same. We talk about it a lot and love that we are so drawn to each other. In most of these Love is Blind series, they focus on trivial stuff. So strange. The women are really odd. They are mostly very controlling and almost narcissistic. It's weird.

I knew the old guy won't get married to that young girl. Something was off about her from the beginning.

It's so refreshing to see demure ladies without much makeup or cleavage.

I found KAORU very stiff and unlikeable. It seemed like she only wanted exposure for her singing. AYANOs voice and laughed annoyed me. It got to a point where I just fast forward her. Comedian guy. I hear a lot of comedians are actually quite serious in real life. Many suffer from depression or have serious trauma. MIDORI I liked her a lot in the beginning but she came off as shallow and immature in regards to Waturu. I feel like he deserves better. The young 23 yr old hairstylist was immature and shouldn’t have been on the show. He wasted beautiful Nana’s time. Sooooo Happy for RYOTARO/MOTOMI! Opposites attract! They both appreciate each other’s differences and are true yin/yang. I wish them the best!! ❤️❤️

Still some immature people to write down the mature japanese... which is really ridiculous

Nothing much negative has been prove in this comment video. Just mainly nitpicking. After all we do the same things as well. The only negative thing is this video itself.

I live in japan and yes greasy hair is a trend in japan. Calling somebody a hafu ( half japanese ) isnt nice. And the mairrage isnt real in japan you need to sign to make it official. Its just fake.

Second

I’ve watched both seasons of Americas love is blind and this one of Japan but Is it me or America’s love is blind is people actually wanting to find love whereas Japans version was more like a game and most of them just trying to win and get picked to get to the next phase? (speaking of when they were in the pods) Overall, I’m glad 2 of the couples did make that big commitment.

By far the worst season of love is blind. Physical intimacy was close to zero, the women were mostly disappointed with their matches because they expected better looking guys, the guys were so socially awkward and unprepared that a lot of them couldn't communicate outside the pods. I have no intent to watch a season 2 if it happens. My wife couldnt even get through the pod episodes because it felt so staged and boring.

I personally felt sorry for the girl of the first couple with the comedian, Odacchi. esp on episode 6, when she tried to confront him about his change when they lived together, he started crying for like no reason ?? I know he told her the he got issues, but to change that fast and that obvious? it's an act of playing the victim, I mean it's obviously his fault, he's changing from that sweetness he gave the first time they got engaged, all the flowers and sweet talks, wanting himself to be the reason for the girl to laugh. I don't like him for that :( poor girl.

LOL I noticed that greasy hair thing but not just with that one girl, I noticed it with multiple girls! I thought maybe it was just my imagination (I first noticed it when they were all in the pods) but all-throughout the show I just had this weird feeling that all the girls had greasy hair. lmao I figured maybe they simply don't wash their hair as much in Japan.
