Dope! Thanks for including your Spotify Playlist! I got my start to the Japanese Indie Rock scene from the FLCL soundtrack The Pillows, and Cornelius by chance seeing them perform on MTV New Year's show years back!

It depends on the individual's personality. Should I have a shallow or a deep relationship?

great info and video. Is there a website or way to contact online recruiters?

Hi, thanks for sharing your story. I'm looking to find a job as a 3D animator in japan for around 6 months (I'm coming on working holiday later this year) and by the time I get there I should be n4 to n3 level in japanese. I have a good 3D generalist portfolio and am building an animation specific portfolio right now. Is it likely studios will be willing to take me on for 5-6 months given my portfolio is reasonably good, or is that too short of a timeframe for it to be worth hiring me for them? Thanks :D

Hey I’m visiting Tokyo soon, I’m interested in alternative rock and punk, can you recommend any venues please? Thank you 😄

What about language? Any barriers regarding language.

I’m going to do this in this coming summer.

I know this video is old, but as someone just getting started, I really appreciate how you’ve simplified each category. I’ve been told to, and also warned against, using RTK, so I’m glad you encourage it as I was leaning that way anyway. I plan to go alongside Genki I & II while doing RTK with an Anki deck I found for RTK. Then, when that’s all done, or perhaps partway through, I’ll do some Anki vocab. I found a Tango n5 Anki deck that seems like a good place to start once I’m there. Then I’ll also try graded readers and sentence mining too. If you have any critiques or suggestions, let me know!

I've been a big fan of the indie rock band Hitsujibungaku since early last year, so it was interesting to see them on that playlist and realize they had their beginnings in the subculture you discussed here. I'll certainly be listening to the rest of the playlist! Also, I wonder what effect the runaway success of the late 2022 anime Bocchi the Rock has had on the Japanese underground scene. Tbh I never even knew it was referencing the subculture until you showed some footage from concerts and realized the venues were very similar to the one depicted in the anime. I've heard that the school in K-on became a tourist attraction, and Yuru Camp noticeably increased sales of camping equipment in Japan, so maybe live music venues in Shimokitazawa are enjoying increased ticket sales?

What course did you do?

🇦🇬 My learning 20 kanji a day isn’t the problem. Retention and recall is. So many different methods out there, at age 60, I don’t think I’ll have enough time left to become truly …... Am still trying. 🙇🏾‍♂️

My goal is to understand Japanese when I watch ………..never mind.

Also, with Genki, do you do one lesson every Saturday and spend the week doing practice questions in the workbook till the next Saturday?

how good does my Japanese have to be to do this sort of thing?

This is awesome, thank you! Do I do all of these together, or do I do grammar-> kanji-> vocab?

This video is a gem and a blessing for the English speaking community

I hope you post more about the japanese music scence soon!

Hi I like to know about how by wwoof you managed to movie and work in japan farm

I'm trying to get my band into japanese market, and want to tour there. but i have my own doubt about rock scene in japan, this video clears that up. thank you !

Been booking a hotel for 8 days in shimokitazawa and damn I guess ill be spending a lot of time in the music scene there lol

Wow that sounds horrible. 😆

おめでとうございます！すごい達成したことよ！でもちょっと質問があるね.....読解にどんな教材使ってたのか？

THANK YOU!. I am debating going Japan for a month and of course will hit up all the tourist stuff as a first timer but MORE importantly I am looking and getting in and around the underground scene. Cheers.

I'm visiting Japan for the first time in October and this video is the exact information I've been looking for! I always try and dip into the local music scene whenever I travel but, I guess because of the language barrier, I've found it super difficult to do so with Japan. I hit up your Spotify playlist (thank you for still keeping it updated) whilst in the office and thought I'd check out a few bands but just ended up listening to Beachside Talks for hours. I'll get to all of it though. 😄 Thank you for making this!

I from indonesia i want Agriculture job in jepan

I love your realistic straight in the face information. People need to really hear this. I think it’s worth the time to work on a skill and develop something that will allow you to flourish in a different country, not move somewhere based on impulse. I am a very impulsive person and having been living all my life like. But then again… sometimes… it makes life more interesting living that way 😂 but much more risky I guess.

Could you show me how to register tobe a wwoof member

The discipline stuff is really important. Even if it's just 20 minutes a day make Japanese a part of your daily routine as much as possible. That discipline will be your new motivation.

This is awesome! I am getting ready to go japan for 6 weeks for work and was really hoping to go and see some Japanese punk, goth, punk, noise, or whatever and had no idea where to start looking. Any recs of best music venues?

So, do you think it is a need to live in japan to work in ánime? Maybe i could learn japanese and the writting but i don t know how a foreigner would contact with them. In your case it was a great chance, by living in the country, but if someone from another continent wants to send porfolio, what would you recommend?

man being in the US now really makes me miss the social culture in the UK, the pub culture and free events and what not! Also will certainly be checking out your new channel, also hope you've been doing well!

How can I connect with you! I really work hard on my animation but I must find a job in Japan before end of language school

Tono is so great! Sounds like a dreamy experience! (And yeah Rikuzentakata got hit really bad as you say...)

I was so close to visiting South Korea and Japan at one point. I'm a Motion Capture actor and in late 2015 I was in contact with Capcom about the facial likeness role of Leon for the Resident Evil 2 Remake. I failed to mention I also have a voice acting background, in the end I lost the part and I can't forgive myself for wasting such an opportunity. That would've been a real dream come true to work in Japan and visit South Korea.

Great to see you doing well, love the new do. I will definitely check the new channel! I would like to know what it's like dating in Japan if it's any different. I have always found Japanese girls over here much easier to talk to but I don't meet very many, might just be I only met really chill people.

You're back! Really missed your videos. Love the hair, by the way

Hey, i was looking for someone for guidance. I am a 2d animator and want to work in one of the Japan anime industries. Can you help me figure out how to proceed and with the life of an artist in Japan working for animation companies and how to apply for the job?

Putting yourself in the picture all the time, how boring! Where’s the farm ??

Wdym I love reading children books

I am Arun. I am from India. I am at the end of my grade 12 (i am writing board exams right now) I want to become an anime animator (I decided to become one in the lockdown) I have zero experience. how can i start at this dream of mine (I am not really worried about how long it will take. I just want to do it.) tell me what courses from which universities would help me come one step closer to my goal. and what are the basic talents that i should develop to shine in this field.

I’m going to Japan at the end of the year and would love to see some live music. But I have two teenagers with me 13/14. What’s the law with bringing underage to gigs? Thanks heaps 🤔😊

congrats mate i hope to be as good as you someday C:

In Argentina I took the N5 2 months ago and have 121/180 which I passed easily after 3 months of daily study (plus some light previous knowledge). I liked the whole experience, it was very cool and meet so many people.

Arrived in Nagoya 2 months ago, had the same feelilng

Great life only my work was get all in joy foods work and history onto the next houses and clean and clear then its the same and most shut down all locked OUT with no no way back they all just join stones soils. This is the only way

American here. My kids are so loud. I’m forever asking them to lower their voice. I wonder if it’s from being in a loud school all day. They definitely could benefit from taking a cue from their surroundings. If only… I remember being in England, talking to an Australian who kept making fun of Americans who say “what” instead of “pardon me”. To him it was the ultimate in rudeness.

Love your vedio, I get from this if I want to wwoof in Japan I need to know the language!

They always say the grass is greener on the other side or in Japanese, 隣の芝生は青い. Take it from me: I live in Hawaii, a place the Japanese love to visit, but everything here is so expensive and morgages could easily go into the millions of dollars.
