This Japanese Man Makes People Cry For A Living 

Crying is one of medicine we often underestimate.

People don’t realize how powerful crying really is. It’s helped me through some tough times

This guy really said "what you need right now is a good cry"

"People cry, not because they're weak. It's because they've been strong for too long." - Johnny Depp

"Men don't cry" is so ingrained into American culture from a young age. It took me years to learn to be able to cry again. It helps relieve so much stress.

I remember when my dad left our house....my mom beat me for crying and wanting to go with him. I was taught from that point on to not cry. The woman who gave birth to me would beat me if I cried so I learned to hold it all in. I'm almost 30 years old now and I still find it difficult to cry at times. Parents, please allow your children to show their emotions and teach them how to cope. Please.

Crying is really important. Its one of the many ways we express our emotions. Everyone needs to be able to cry.

"I hope to show people that seeking happiness starts by accepting your emotions as they are." I'm so grateful for Hidefumi Yoshida's job and goal.

When I saw the title I was like “What?” But now I realize what I need is a good cry

There really is something healing and "cleansing" about crying. Life is hard. Emotions, pain and depression are real. When we don't deal with them they eat away at us. It truly is a blessing to have someone by your side "allowing you" to deal with the heaviness. Let it out folks. Better out than in.

"To cry is to be human." Wow. Well said.

In some tribal groups in Rajasthan , India there were this group called "Rudaali " generally woman who used to make people cry after someone's demise (the family members) and by crying themselves also cuz apparently they thought that if people do not weep the soul would wander around . There is a movie too based on that . I think they do not do this anymore.

All jokes aside this guy deserves to live a long healthy life and afterlife.

I’m so happy he’s doing this. It’s so powerful and personally I believe Japan needs this. He’s doing a great thing

me: sees the title "japanese man makes people cry for a living" also me: isayama, this you?

Whenever I need to cry, I’ll watch military surprise homecomings.

hmmm... this is honestly really interesting! he helps people relieve stress by normalizing the showing of feelings in public and i think thats so sweet!

10,000% agree with this effort. A healthy, emotional release might be the answer to address some of the endemic societal problems in Japan, including it's long-standing high suicide rate. "Get a good cry on" is definitely not the full answer, but releasing the negativity from it and ALLOWING people to release any emotions bottled up physically might go a long way in addressing these issues.

There are days i feel like something's missing when in fact i actually have this accumulation of feelings i did not acknowledge until i just burst out crying.

it’s hard for me to cry, so i often feel frustrated bcs my feelings kept bottling up. But then i discovered that whenever i watch ppl show emphaty to others i bawl my eyes out specially when i’m alone watching lmao and so whenever i feel like crying but can’t, i watch those kind of videos in yt to cry lol

This is exactly why I enjoy watching Asian Boss videos...I don’t think I would’ve ever learned about the different types of tears anywhere else 😅 Arigato tear teacher! 🙏🏾😊

When things are at their worst, I sit in a full tub and cry hard. Something about being in the water helps me let everything go, and I always feel calmer.

"To cry is to be human, we are most alive when we cry"

Did anyone else suddenly feel triggered to start crying when the two participants were watching the short films or was it just me? 😅 Didn’t even watch the films and I already felt like I needed to cry lollll 😭

When I feel bad or pressure about anything. I don't cry in front of others. I usually cry alone and after that, I really feel free. I feel that my mind is fresh. So I think crying is important doesn't matter whether it's male, female, child, youth, old etc. And also I like the interviewer she is so cute.

I think most Asian Countries have this Stigma of being Perfect from the Outside, not showing a lot of Emotion and express their Feelings as "Western-Countrys" would do, they have their own Way of showing affection and thats fine, but we all need to Cry once in a While, even if its Crying because youre laughing too much. If you Cry you can come to Terms with yourself and your Soul, expressing Feelings is always the Best thing, and you have to Start with yourself before you can do it with other People! I think this Man is doing an awesome Job providing relief for those not afraid to seek it. GOOD JOB!

A good cry can reset your entire destiny and course of life... This is truly one of the best videos ever... So needed, the level of healing that occurs when we set our emotions free and let them do their jobs is phenomenal.... Thank you Asian boss for another beautiful video❤️

Crying is like taking that big weight off your stomach, it frees you up and makes you feel better after doing it. Your emotions are valid.

Wow! Japan really need this type of seminars! They need to express their true feelings more. It is not shame

When I saw the two women crying on the videos, I almost cried too. This is really powerful and should be widespread in all big cities.

If i want to cry i will look back the last chat with my late mother 😞😞

Absolutely true .... crying is the best relieving of stress due to some particular reason at home and at work, after you cried your heart and mind feel better, it is good to feel the pain and expressed it by crying rather than just keep it , ....it can cause you sick, mentally and physically 😔😢😭Maria

Some say that crying is a action of showing weakness, but I say that crying is a necessary activity one need in their life.

I think if we see the real sides of the world, how people live in extreme poverty, how children are extremely skinny and how people are so ill, that'll make all of us cry. Even those men that fight their tears.

I always say; "Crying is the opposite of laughter but it is just as essential and important in what it comes to our wellbeing. It is just as healing and can be just as satisfying."

Traditional chinese funerals last 3 days and do a lot to make you cry, to make sure you start your journey on grieving that person.

After the great earthquake and tsunami in Japan, I went and volunteered to deliver relief goods to city shelters. I had dinner with one of the local workers, and he told me so many sad stories of loss in his community. He eventually noticed that whenever he placed his hand on someone's shoulder while listening to them, they would immediately burst out in tears. Just the simple act of a human placing their hand on another human in sympathy was what so many didn't know they needed, especially in a country where people rarely shake hands or hug.

He simply tells people about my love life and they burst into tears

This man is a wonderful human being. God bless him

As someone whose body responds to any strong emotion with tears, I envy people who don't cry often/can hold back tears. I hoped to move to Japan to learn how to keep it in more, but Crybabies unite!

07:34 was the same with me.. my father was really sick and we werent allowed to go and visit him because of covid and then we get told he hasnt long to live and then he dies few days afterwards.. i still cant believe it.. i wish everyone out there happiness and health.. please look out for yourselves

It is true. I always tend to hold my tears for such a long time to the point I can't hold it anymore and cry like I am very hurt. Yet sometimes, people just don't understand what I've been going through and say "No need to cry. Stop it, you embarass yourself." In the middle when my emotion flows really quick and I have a hard time to stop it. Really, those sentences break my mood more and more. They are not helping at all. It really make me denying my emotion more and more. Holding tears isn't feeling great at all. Agreed, crying is a great stress reliever when I just can't say what 's going on my mind, heart, and soul.

I was just now thinking of a book I read recently where it talks about people being to impulsive these days and how its hurting reasonable discussions and this video pops up about this guy getting more people to cry.

This is so amazing! I think we should normalize this globally!

Crying really helps release all of my pent up feelings. Glad he’s here to help people through this especially when there’s a good amount of stigma with crying in public

This is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen and wish to experience.

What people are doing to each other and this world already makes me want to cry... 😥

I seldom cry, maybe twice per year and god it feels good when I do, it's like my problems gets lighter

Thankyou Hidefumi Yoshida Sir for helping the society heal, one crying session at a time. All emotions are necessary to be accepted and processed for one to stay sane.

Thank you so light for this video. I usually tend to bottle up my emotions and every month or so I have emotional break downs, hopefully this will help me to be better and to relive my stress.

I just like the fact that Asian boss shows us there are still people that do interesting things out there. Every day I’m surrounded by people who are motivated, yes, but by their own « banal » goals, even though they’re successful. Becoming a consultant, working for Deloitte,... Every day I ask myself if these people really feel like they are « living ». Crazy

I seriously love Asian Boss. I've watched so many videos of theirs and they are always genuinely interesting and satisfying. Thank you!

A few years a go I told myself to listen to my body an boy that minimized my stress it was a great way to ease me into being intune with any emotional baggages I carried around and how to let go

Bless this man.

amazing.... we all need a good cry.

Whenever i have a bad day, i just watch drama then after i cried my attention shifted to that and i no longer worry. Having a good cry or laugh is the best medicine during this pandemic especially those who feel alone.

This is great! Kudos to this guy!

Now, i've realized how good to live in country where you can come to your friend, share feelings and cry. Showing your emotions in public still not so good in my country, unlikely. People can judge or people condemn a person who just walks down the street and smiles. A lot of foreigners say that Russians are gloomy. Unfortunately, I can agree. As for the crying, me personally cry a lot, sometimes even in public if I can't control it. That's hard, because I am boy and it's "not normal" for boy by Russian standards. But I don't care. Crying really helps me to remove stress produced by studies, pressure etc. Greetings from Russia! Be yourself!

It's hard for me to wrap my head around someone literally dying from overworking, especially from a desk job. I guess I've always underestimated the levels of stress and the damage it can do. I do think something needs to be done in asian countries about limiting max hours worked, so many seem to have to stay until their boss leaves even if it's two hours after they were scheduled to be done for the day.

So he is like this channel. It make me cry to look at your videos . Don’t fail

Who needs this guy when you have Asian parents that you are always disappointed in you and make you cry for not being an astronaut, doctor, engineer, or lawyer.

I literally cry all the time we all need to cry

14:20 Allowing yourself to feel the emotion is just one person being real. Also, it's natural for me to cry when I really feel frustrated... it's really relieving.

Crying is definitely a great way to achieve a level of catharsis from stress built up over time; most as a result stemming from society and everyday living. People are told that crying is apparently a sign of weakness (for example) and it really isn't. It's something people should do every now and then if they're feeling emotionally overwhelmed.

Very beautiful story, thanks Asian Boss

Crying makes us feel relax and it helps us to vent out our hidden emotions those are anger, sadness, and overthinking. As filipino, we often cry in front of our friends but we mostly cried out with our families to share our burdens at school or at work.

I admire this man, actually i watch a documentary here in the Philippines where in they featured him as a speaker for there topic.

Awesome content, big fan from California USA

As a person who easily cry and laugh.. I kind a agree why people important to release their emotion easily both by crying and laughing to release stress..it's good for your own mental health..

Very interesting work. I think we all need to know it's ok to cry.

Everyone needs to cry to relive stress Levi: what's that??

This is a great video. It should have more views! It's actually really important.

Thank you Asian Boss, for the continuous and amazing content you keep bringing us

I should hire him. I haven't cried in ages.

"you might find a new side to yourself" what a great phrase to end a video! I'm keeping it in my notebook

He’s low key like a therapist

Hello first time here 🙂 watching your videos 🙂 let's spread love and peace 🕊️ all over the world.. watching from Manila Philippines asian country now 🇵🇭🌹 god bless you all

It doesn’t mean you are weak when you cry, but it lets you clean your eyes when you do.

"To cry is to be human."

To the ones he tried to help but couldn't cry... Y'all must be so numb.. I feel sad for you. I hope you're healing little by little at least. I sure do need to cry to release some stress too

Wow, Japan so advanced! Its 2021 and they finally realize that mental health is important.

Would you be able to conduct another interview on how people of different nationalities think of Japanese government’s decision on Fukushima nuclear water? Would appreciate it sooooooo much

..tears for me is a form of weakness which I need to release, and after that my strength will regain..

The true kings of humanity stand with us.

Amazing video!

he is definitely doing a great service, but the way his glasses fit on his face is making me irrationally uncomfortable

Crying and tears are prayers without words.

Mister, thank you very much for your contribution. The work you're doing is pretty heroic for a society which wants people to become robots. Please keep doing this.

Crying and also laughing, I would say, is such great medicine!

I feel kinda conflicted about this but it clears up a picture of how mental health is handled in Japan. Sure crying helps you relieve pent up emotions but I this is just circumventing the real problem. The people here need someone to talk to that will actually listen. When people have the chance to release their feelings and have the time to process their emotions, then the tears will flow naturally. I hope these people realize this.

I think it is not really just crying that is one of the medicine for stress management. I think we have to accept our emotion. Sad, tired, stress, laughter etc. This short video actually reminds me of the stereotype behind laughter, another medicine we often underestimate. In some family, it is not okay to laugh (out loud) as it deems unpleasant/ uncultured. However, I personally feel that it is easier to cry than to laugh. With that in mind, we should appreciate people with great humour, and the step-up comedy that uses their stories to influence our lives./ relieve stress. i think all of us can start by questioning all these "social norms" and "common sense".

Nice sharing story

We also have the culture of "it's a shame for a man to cry" here in Brazil. I think that if we accept our emotions and just let them flow, we would live better.

I personally have an alarm set for diffrent times of day everyday where i just drop everything iam doing and cry for an hour i dont think i could`ve made it this far without it.

The strength of those two women to cry on camera...

💜 loved this

It’s usually not weakness that makes us cry, it’s empathy. Which means having a beautiful heart. Being sensitive is not a weakness, it is a great strength. Not everyone can allow themselves to feel for others and have true empathy or experience pain because they have loved and lost. It’s better to have loved and loss than to never love at all. The same goes for crying. It is better to have tears and this experience than to allow ourselves to not feel. Feeling means we are still alive. Still very much living. When we stop crying we stop living, we are empty inside, it’s better to be full of life and emotions than to have burnt out all the emotions inside of us.

This man spoke facts.

its feels good to cry, when you havent for a while.

Great work team !! Plz post such amazing content 🙂✌
