Life at a Japanese High School (2018) 明成高等学校での一ヶ月

- My name is Ethan Chu, 15 year old film student at Orange County School of the Arts. Over my summer vacation, I went to Sendai, Japan to experience life at a Japanese high school for 5 weeks. The differences between Japanese and American culture were so drastic, I knew I had to document my experience and share it with friends and family back home. Using the limited amount of film equipment that I had brought, I shot and edited this documentary while I was in Japan so I could show it to my classmates. I added translation subtitles for both English-speaking and Japanese audiences. Overall, it was an amazing, rare experience and now, through this video, I can share my adventure at a Japanese high school.
僕はオレンジカウンティスクールオブジアーツという学校に通っている15歳のイーサン チューです。夏休みの間僕は仙台の日本の高校に5週間、日本の生活を体験しに行って来ました。日本とアメリカの文化の違いは歴然で、僕の経験を記録し、友達やアメリカで待ってる家族とシェアしなくてはと思いました。持って行った限られた撮影機材を使い、クラスメイトに見せるために撮影と編集を日本にいる間に続けました。日本語にも英語にも字幕を付けました。僕の体験した事は本当に素晴らしく、レアな経験です。このビデオを通して今僕のアドベンチャーを日本の高校とシェアしたいと思います。

"Eating food makes people happy"
well I can't disagree with that.
Depends on the food
Eating lots of food has made me the well-rounded person I am today! Unfortunately v.v
@@nekomatafuyu lol
Ikr, not really
SAME XD 😂😂😂
him after watching dozens of animes and finally being in a japanese highschool for real: "just like the simulations"
You get kicked out for "obstructing class time"
*YEAR OF ACADEMY TRAINING WASTED!*
Humon Chronos then he brings a katana to school and the only words he knows is nani and shinderu
well, except for the 5 teenage girls transforming into wannabe power rangers and killing demons by throwing their jewelry at them
Did you have any experiences with earthquakes and how long did you stay?Sorry, I was just planning to go to Japan as an exchange student as well.
300 yen ramen, soba or curry from school cafeteria. meanwhile here in australia its 5 bucks for cup noodles and the lady is still angry that she had to boil water for you
Meanwhile in the US 2 dollars will get you a slice of cardboard pizza
@@jakeburger458 and Canada for $1 pizza made by *DiVeRSe CulTUre*
BurgerPlays my school is a dump but still serves good food
Lol, we used to walk to the nearest fish and chips joint near the school during lunch. Always late to the next class after haha
MisakaMikotoLuv our school banned cup noodles (4$ for a cheap cup argh) even though a ton of people bought them cause they just couldn’t be bothered omfg, now, the year 12 kitchen is basically an instant noodle black market cause they’re the only place we can boil water to make instant noodles lmfao
This was very well made, appropriate background music, well thought out sequence of information, good audio, good video editing, and even teacher interviews. You are also very well spoken, good job man!
Yep. Professionalism is real
Gabe i like Japanese school girls
Hear! Hear!
Can't even begin to imagine American kids getting down on their hands and knees scrubbing the floor
Well japan is the only country who has the kids make sure the building is clean so j cant really imagine any other kids on their hands and knees scrubbing the floors
Honestly no. And this is coming from a american.
TheFamousMockingbird my parents from Taiwan also had to clean the classrooms and buildings. I’m guessing this is an East Asian custom...
i can just imagine all my classmates pouting in the corner saying something like “i don’t wanna! i want to go home” or something like that 😂
We do this everyday, though we have turns since we have limited tools, but at Saturday, all of us clean together...(yes im asian, but not Japan) (also yes im late)
The amount of hardwork that went into this. He even provided japanese subs.
Bro, thank you
I envy you man. You experienced high school in japan.
Only weebs wish for that
@@bizar0 dont be rude. Different people want different things. So dont be a fart nugget
It’s not like anime, man.
@@2confusediam 😂yes
You can go to Japanese high school or Japanese university if you're really interested in it.
Wow Ethan great moves keep it up proud of you
*cue the H3H3 intro
you learn how to say that you cant speak english in an english class?
RullstolsBönder You’re supposed to say you can’t speak English very well, ...I think. In my first year, my French teacher also recommended this.
most foreign language classes teach you to state you can't speak __ very well :)
@@stephanieshafto8738 why did you take it seriously?
@@larsderoover why did you take it seriously?
@@dunderzack When travelling to other places that don't speak your language or talking to people that know a different language, it's important to let them know that you are not advanced in their language so they can either speak using simple vocabulary or refer you to someone else
I love you Japan. I wish I was born and raised there.
I barely comment on anything I watch but this time I had to make an exception. You captured everything in such a detailed way, with high quality and without missing any important points that you should receive an award. Really, watching this from the other side of the world (I'm brazilian) and sharing this kind of experience is precious, needs to be thoroughly done and you did it well. Thanks Ethan, keep up the good work (h3 lol)
I'm also brazilian! I also think this was beautifully done, Ethan. I want to visit Japan so bad!! It's my dream.
I like your username
Well done. Provided an excellent perspective on Japanese culture and the life of students there. I've watched many of these videos, but this one obviously showcases a level of cinematography that is above the rest. Hope you keep pushing similar quality content, this was very well made.
You experienced the thing what we all wanted to experience
Only 15 yrs old and you seem so mature already lol. Great doc!
he sure is mature I wish more parents would instill maturity in their teenagers.
nice. this is the first video i've found where the school let the student film anything so we could get an actual glimpse of what it's like during their daily routine.
I'm betting he was probably sponsored and allowed by the school in exchange for probably exposure towards their school.
Wow!! Respect being shown not just for teachers, but for the actual buildings..........! It's a different world.
I was an exchange student at a Japanese high school called Meisei as well although not this school but one in Fujieda, Shizuoka. ;)
Really awesome video you made!
What program did u use?
what program?
@@KickSilverOMG @Rodoshi Islam the program was explorius. It only operates in Nordic countries though so you might have to find another one...
@@IncendianFire Ty.
Ur lucky to be in Japan in highschool 👍🏽 it's literally my dream to make it to Japan while in highschool
If my high school had been run like this school, I would have done a lot better and not dropped out.
@King Lurch Mmm. But I am a second-year university student now with excellent grades and a 5.0 GPA. So yeah, if high schools were run like this school, or more like a university where you curate your own timetable and learning experience, I would never have dropped out and would have done better there.
@King Lurch Is "lmao" all you can say? Go back to your cave, troll.
@King Lurch No one even wants you to get started. Your opinions were never asked for.
@King Lurch How egotistical of you. Do me a kindness and shut the fuck up.
@@mysticmajestic2360 I side with king lurch, many others have gone through the same system and passed.
I evny you. You are so lucky to experience this culture. I'm from India and Indian schools are totallly opposite. Schools don't give studies and sports the same importance. I really want to study in Japan,but I almost finished my high school
You're not alone.
This english teacher is trying really hard to not confuse "Cocks" and "Cooks" hahah
His accent is very good though. You can tell that he had worked hard.
I'm not a native speaker, so I may be wrong too.. hehe
🐓 🐔🐓
@@marcioaso His English is fairly decent, he did work hard, English is pretty hard to learn once you get into the nitty-gritty
A very high quality video for someone with only 620 subscribers!
This was just so beautiful to watch as I’ve been an anime fan and have seen similar scenes in anime. Thank you for showing us this experience of yours. Someday I hope to visit Japan as well.😀
動画の編集めちゃめちゃ上手！簡潔でまとまっていて見やすいですね。
omg i've also had the amazing opportunity to experience japanese school life, except my experiences are from elementary and middle school levels! every summer, from the past seven years i think (besides last year 2020 because of corona) my sister and i have been going to japan and going to school there for approximately 3-6 weeks. sadly tho, this past summer, 2021 was my last year because that was the third year of middle school :(
so unfortunately that was my last time going, but im very grateful for my experiences there!!
but now that i think about it, it would have been even more amazing if i could have documented my last year like you did, but oh well the memories will live on in my head haha
it really resonated with me when you said that you loved the experience and its shaped who you are!!!
that was an amazing video, im really happy i was able to find a video like this, thanks so much!
また日本に来てね！
This video was stunningly well-made!! Such amazing cinematography--not a frame out of place. I loved the editing, the music, and the dialogue you included from teachers and students. Overall, I feel like I've gained a much better understanding of different aspects of Japanese culture and the student life there. Thank you so much for sharing your insights!!
Ethan...you're a good young man. Your parents have raised you well and afforded you the opportunity to experience great times already in your young life.
I am a retired public high school teacher from Glendale, Ca. I had the opportunity to take 12 of our students from Glendale High School over to Nisshan High School in Osaka, Japan for 21 days back in 2001. We exchanged students each year for many years and it became a favorite time at our school when we hosted kids from Nisshan High. Watching your video reminded me of the many club activities that we were able to experience while over there as well as our job of custodial work at the end of each day. It was truly a magnificent experience.
This exchange went on for many years between the two schools until the Glendale City Council did something really stupid and disrespected the people and schools of Osaka to the point they decided to end their participation in the exchange program. They decided to install a monument of a Korean "Comfort Woman" sitting on a bench in one of our local parks. This act angered and disrespected the Japanese people to where they no longer wanted anything to do with our students which was a shame since we had no influence in their decision to do what they did. Dumb Asses!😲 Thanks again Ethan for bring back fond memories.
I am a Japanese American, born in Japan to a Japanese father but a Californian from infancy. I wrote a letter at to the Japanese Consulate when the Glendale situation happened, supporting the City of Glendale's support for its Korean and Korean-American residents and expressing displeasure with Japanese activists in this country who tried to oppose the placement of those statues. Several other Japanese Americans signed the letter. We believed then, and continue to believe now, that the Japanese state and much of Japanese society are wrongly trying to downplay the evil committed by Japan against Korean women during WWII.
@@hajenso Great! Can you name just one other town, city or state here in the US that decided to get involved in this geo-political mess? Nope! Just our ridiculous Glendale City Council treading where they don't belong.
If they had to get involved in something, they should have put up a remembrance plaque where the Verdugo Hills Golf Course was located. If you know anything about history, you should know that Japanese American Citizens were incarcerated there at the start of WW II. Now how in the hell do you imprison law obiding, US citizens simply because of their nationality? When you can answer that, get back to me.
You might allow me to answer the question you asked before supplying my answer yourself. Yes, I can name one: San Francisco. www.theguardian.com/world/2018/oct/04/osaka-drops-san-francisco-as-sister-city-over-comfort-women-statue
Has japan ever apologised for the evil they did in ww2? Especially to America?
This was respectful and totally kept simple. The hard work really shows I hope this gets shown around more and more to inspire others and inform them.
Even though I’m from Miyagi, I didn’t know anything about Meisei. It’s so unique school!
Thank you for making such a useful and well constructed video.
My dream is to visit Japan. Thank you for sharing this. Beautifully done!
動画の編集が上手い。
Very well made video I’m amazed it doesn’t have at least a few hundred thousand views. Keep it up.
This was filmed so beautifully.
Super cool !! I miss you so much ;(
Come back to Japan anytime 👍👍
Excellent, well made video! You have a bright future!
I love this 3000 ❤️
Keep on the good work
Sweet. Thanks for sharing.
Japan is so nice. The world should learn from them.
Leo Wang lol
I tell you my jaw DROPPED when I saw the food it looks so good
Great example for all other schools to follow. RESPECT.
Feels like watching a cultural documentation from a national TV. I salute your skills !!
Oh they dont wear those brown shoes you see in anime? My life is a lie lol
The white shoes with red tips are accurate tho
@Nigga-San kutsu is shoe
zach honnes haha ye that might be true
i think theyre loafers?
They do. Just not inside the school u have to change shoes
Japan: bus arrives at 8:00 AM
Me, in the US: has to start driving to school at 6:30 AM because the bus is full of people who juul
Those teachers is a really good people. I wish everyone was that kind
This video was made with such fine quality. Keep up the good work!
I wonder if the lesser focus on individuality actually ends up creating more of a tighter knit community? I also love that the students clean their own schools. Definitely makes more respectful and responsible students.
this is the first time ive actually been interested in a video i watched for school, well done!
Excellently made video!
Fantastic Video! I have become a fan of Japanese Anime Portrayals of school life, and wondered how realistic they are. You've really educated me! Thanks! I would like to visit Japan and talk to students there. I am 66 now and like talking with kids.
This deserves more views!!
This is a very nice video. Well edited, accurate and heartfelt. I like your focus on the details of daily routine, as well as club activities as these two things really stick out to me as defining characteristics that differentiate the Japanese school system from American school. I used to work at a Japanese high school as an English teacher. Now I am a chef in a Japanese restaurant in America, so I like to see that the English teacher at Meisei used to be a sushi chef, too. 挨拶とかささいなことが恋しい、懐かしいね。も字幕は上手! Well done!
You could win a short film award with this piece bro!
This is such a well done documentary of your time in Japan!
Great video, Ethan. Thanks for doing it. I just got back from my first trip to Japan. I loved it and hope I get to go back someday. My first ride on the shinkansen was from Tokyo to Sendai.
Good job, Ethan! Super educational and well presented!
Good video, nice job

Love the thing that the students keep thier school clean:)

Quality work especially for a student!
Wow, such a amazing video, good shots, good background music,editing was so great. Nice video.
Thank you, Ethan. Your video is among the best “realistic and respectful” descriptions of HS experiences in Japan. Thank you.
自分と同じ年ぐらいなのに生きている経験値が違いすぎる
羨ましい

Excellent job Ethan. Please keep up with the film making.
Japans system of education is one of the best! i also love their culture and food. I hope someday, i will visit Japan.
Such a beautiful video 💜
mhh...i wish i would have had such a nice school with teachers really caring, students respecting each other and the several clubs that you can do whatever interest you have got and like to do.
This is great
Thanks Ethan.. Very best wishes in your future Career. Thanks for putting together an excellent video!
i just stumbled upon your video, and I actually considered to go to OCSA, most of my friends applied there in middle school and got accepted. I’m also from OC. California,
This video is PERFECT!!! I loved everything about it, you are a really talented videomaker

You're such a nice youtuber.
damm this video is really good
Very enjoyable. Thank you for posting.
God bless you Ethan lots of love from Russian and UK, Greatest video on TH-cam. Arigato Gozaimasu.
Japanese school seems way better than American school. Maybe that's just because I haven't experienced it myself but this video really makes it seem like that.
Awesome video, I love the Japanese culture and I loved the perspective you showed of comparing American school culture with Japanese school culture!
