This was a fun quiz! What kind of business rules exist in your country? Let us know down below!
One is also suppose to pass their business card below the other unless one is meeting someone considered to be an equal.
Sit wherever you want to sit or can sit. no ranking here: your $hit doesn’t smell better than mine. Being a manager is just a role in a team with more responsibility, and a better salary. Every team member has the same value.
@@yeroun1974 That sounds like a fantasy.
@@ThreadBomb Dutch work culture, no fantasy. Everyone is equal as a person and everyone’s job is equally important to run the organisation like clockwork. The Dutch don’t like to be treated as second rate employees and don’t accept management who look down on their co-workers. People who manage like that are seen as unfit to run an organisation. Hierarchy is purely related to a task in the organization. You need eachother to advance and have succes.
I don't know about "rules" in Colorado, USA, but we definitely have expectations that are often not correct. I spent almost 20 years as a dance instructor here. I was often the number 2 in a studio and my presence was requested at business meetings. My presence was requested more as a sound board for after the meeting than for a contributer to the meeting. I can not tell you the number of times it was assumed I was the owner of the business, I am a 6'4" male. I sincerely hope that Shiori does not experience this assumption in ANY setting.
Thank you for sharing this video TC!
Shiori looks like the final boss in an rpg, with two henchwomen by her side.
Thanks to Go! Go! Nihon to let us try the online course, we (including me) should learn properly for sure 😂Business Ganbaro! :)
You’re the best shiori!! You brighten up the atmosphere always
shorti thats a thirsty bow in the thumbnail for this video, please dont tell us to actually bow that way in real life
Imagine you start bowing in front of your boss and he busts out the protractor
nice to see you here :D
I don't want to bow to imperial scum lol
Obviously not an independent "contractor. "
Most important rule : Natsuki > everyone else in the room.
Always f*cking place
Shiori being real sly management to get her subordinates to improve.
As a German, HOU-REN-SOU made me laugh out loud 🇩🇪🤣
Sprich deutsch Du HOU-REN-SOU
Reddit lässt grüßen
This is how you take a boring subject and make it interesting to watch. I wish more information/educational videos were like this
The cut scenes with hachi and t-man are so good 😂
As someone who’s currently doing an internship with a Japanese company this is really valuable and I wish I got to see this sooner
I just need to hear Chris call Sharla senpai now.
Sharla: Chris-kun. XD
How long did Chris complain to HR...
This was interesting and fun! Plus I enjoyed seeing the other TC people. They were funny in the bad example videos. More like this, please!
I was bowing all the time during my trip. When i returned home i found myself still bowing. It took a week to stop bowing at people haha.
hehe same
Same... I think it's addicting hehehe
Read this as Bowling on the first 2 bowing's and was more confused about it being described as "I couldn't stop bowling." rather than how bowling was at all relevant to the video.
Wow this is really fascinating. It's really different from the etiquettes here in the West
I only have one question...
*How are ya?*
You

Hi
Even in educational videos I look up, you're in here too?!?! I'm done, there's gotta be a way to avoid your comments wtf
This is sooo interesting. I’d love to know about the hierarchy in the elevator, taxi and Shinkansen. Please include that in a future video ❤️
I need a Shiori in my office 😭
Work would be so much more fun
This was a really insightful video on Japanese business culture and etiquette. Super interesting!
Emma is hilarious! Great sense of humour.
This was a really interesting video, is there any etiquette around footwear in the office? Is outdoor footwear changed to indoor footwear?
Depends on the setting and place I guess? At my previous company we had indoor footwear because my office was an office + dorm, where the dorm was upstairs and office on ground floor.
However the main branch that was about 30mins drive away is like a regular office and there's no need to change footwear. I've also seen many local offices when I went on sales pitches where they had indoor shoes too. It was a pretty countryside area so I think it'll be different in the city.
this was very helpful. thank you so much! i'd love to see more of these types of videos regarding social manners and rules. thank you.
This was really cool, thank you!
Japanese ceo and her two gaijin bodyguards
that was a great video, learned a lot
I really liked this. More of this kind of video, please.
Love Shiori's high energy!
I'm glad to find out I was bowing correctly when I was in Japan.
😀😍💖💖💖XXXXX
Really loved this video! It was so fun to watch and actually really helpful to learn some business Japanese!
Really helpful
Excellent video, fun and very informative about Japanese business culture...Ganbarimashitane!.
Its kind of funny, thinking about the 15° bow. In my hometown in western Canada, a small head nod/5° bow was a common greeting.
Very universal in a sense.
Thinking about it, in california I would nod downwards for someone I didn’t know, and upwards for someone I DID know.
@@TheVampireFreddo Interesting, as a German I would do that too, I just never noticed. Nodding upwards conveys that I've noticed someone, nodding down is just a random greeting in passing. Does not strictly need to be someone I don't know, you could nod at a receptionist or someone like that you pass every day, but it does not have the same element of recognition an upwards nod has.
I learnt Japanese 25yrs ago in high school but really dunno much after all these years but seeing the name cards brought back some memories
I did ok. I have been to Japan 3 times and looking forward to the next.
this was so much fun XDD like this video XD
I love how shiori english improved.
I follow a few people who left Japan, only to discover that doing 15° bows was a very difficult habit to break. I'm surprised to learn of the focus on business cards remains in Japan. I feel they became much less important in the West once the Internet became mainstream. Once again, you all turned what could have been a boring topic into an interesting and fun exploration of culture and attitudes.
I think there are two reasons for still using businesscards a lot in Japan: 1. They like their traditions and will only stop using them if forced...sort of. and 2. you have to remember everyone's name, as addressing someone is done by using their name......and there are a lot of names you need to remember. Having their business cards in your folder with what company they belong to can really help remembering them (if you study up on the names before every meeting with them).
@@BuzzinsPetRock78 That makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the insights!
I left Japan over 10 years ago and I still do the bow at times, it’s a hard habit to break. There’s a few habits like that, that are just stuck.
@@BuzzinsPetRock78 I was taught for business purposes, that having a business card with the correct address and spelling of a particular person's name was both respectful and a legal necessity for writing out contracts and specific interpersonal communications. English doesn't have the same system of Logographic context and readings associated with specific words or names. (Although the meaning of someone's name isn't actually how you address them. For example, in English, Vivienne means full of life. You would not say, "Hello Mr./Mrs. Full-of-Life," after being told someone's name.)
In the west the closest thing I could relate it to is forgetting there is a Sr. in a company and a Jr. of the same name with none of the same assets or in control of a separate business entirely, without adding something like a Social Security number or a specific Service or Registry number, spelling a name correctly is the easiest way to prevent accidental paper-work mix ups.

This is great, really, really great. I want to see this on the all Emma channel. All Emma, All the Time.
That was interesting and funny! :D
Great video
I knew nothing and you guys made it fun to learn
Japanese Business quiz!
Thats Interesting!
I got everything right except for the Hou-Ren-Sou. Man watching all that anime must be paying off.
Japanese business etiquette feels like if I'm meeting the Queen 😋 Aussie business etiquette is very laid back though some people might consider it rude if you don't shake their hand,I would think putting your bag to the side of your chair would be universal well for most people 😋
This was pretty informative!
I got the "putting business card in the pocket" mistake but that was it.
Thinking of Dutch business culture I feel like it's one of the most casual out there.
Pretty much everyone can speak at the same level and if there's any rule it's that acting like you're better will earn you a bad reputation and blazer + jeans is a formal enough business attire.
Pretty interesting. Love the 'actor'!
Man… I didn’t know a ton of these!
This was so interesting and hilarious! I loved it when T'man kept saying 'otsu' 😂. And I figured Sharla and T'man would be the most senior people in the room, but I didn't expect that to put them in the middle!
My dad before he went to Japan on his business trip had about 150 business cards printed.. Now I know why..!! You get my card.. You get my card.. Thank you..
i never understand a single word shiori is saying but she seems super happy all the time 🤣
Keep watching and her speech will become clear! At least, that's what happened to me. (But I also finished Duolingo Japanese at the same time 😅)
The three marbles of Nihon
Sarah is definitely my type OMG She is so cute
The 30° bow they show at 3:10 is actually more like 50°!
I would like Australians to adopt some of Japan's cultural practices. I enjoy the politeness. It focuses on respecting each other.
Emma: "Business shorts!"
Me: "Wait... that's not a suit with a skirt?"
Nice surprise either way
On the seating chart challenge, arranging the TC sales team is easy, but the guests are _brutal_ . The look on Emma's face!
Oh my god, while I’m not happy to be not able to visit Japanese companies in person these days, meeting them online has eliminated so much of the meishi exchange etiquette pressure!
Sarah looks beautiful in that suit!
パラパラの動きが筋金入ってて完璧ですね♡パラ連にあけくれていた同世代かなって手の形と腕の動きをみてつい思っちゃいました
この時世にマスクをしたまま出来るエンターテイメントとしてパラパラコンテンツは意外と需要あるんじゃないですかね？言葉のバリアーもないし、ユーロだけじゃなくてアニソンもあゆもベースにしてみんなで踊れるなんてまさにTC向きですよね
Ooof! In my line of business being dirty, sweaty, and brusque are a plus.
I failed before showing up by wearing a grimy jumpsuit and stopping for a pint on the way to the meeting.
I’d be interested in seeing what laborers do for etiquette in Japan. Bet it’s still very neat and polite.
Nice
This is all great information! I really want to work with Tokyo Creative. I would have to move out of Aomori though and I don't know if I want to leave northern Japan lol
The Sadshrimps cameo in this video was nice and subtle compared to last week's.
Mendoksai!!!
The seating arrangement in the office follows the traditional way, where the most important person eg. (ceo) is the furthest/ away from the door so that if an assassin suddenly comes, the least important peeps will be the one to fall prey, atleast that's what I've learned w/ Mr. Miyajima's interview video lol
I think Britain could do with some of this corporate culture.
Maybe not THIS formal, but a bit less relaxed than it is right now.
As it is right now, it's almost like you're meeting friends at a pub, and that lack of professionalism just makes it harder to talk business.
I have been to so many events, where people just walk up to you, grab your hand (instead of offering a handshake) and start talking about their business. Then they pat their entire coat down to find that business card holder (often just their wallet) and go "Oh, I have a business card". I mean, who doesn't have a business card in 2021?
That "ritual" at the beginning of a meeting where people exchange business cards should be standard. And start with the most senior person, so everyone on all sides of the meeting knows who makes the decisions. And now everyone knows everybody's name.
Keeping the cards visible at the side is also great, because then people like me, who have really bad memory, don't have to feel rude about forgetting a name.
So cute
Looking good!
OTSU!
MUAHH! That's your Business Kiss!
Sarah should have gotten the bow question correct!!
One question: Shouldn't you hand over the business cards with both hands and receive it with both hands? At least as far as I know or is it different when you exchange the cards at the same time?
You receive it with both hands if you only get handed over one, but if you exchange simultaneously, both use their right hand.
Thank you @listamin
I'm honestly surprised neither of them put Chris by the door as a gag 😂
Who knew there was so much etiquette in Japanese business
It'll be nice to see a video showing what Tokyo Creative does as an entire company... becuase the reflection seen on the TH-cam channel doesn't show much of what everyone does on a whole
I feel Chris is the most senpai of all hahaha!
If I would have to do this right now (or in the near future) I would be totally hopeless. Although, I use to know a good bit of this sort of thing. That doesn't mean I could do it well enough. At least in the beginning. I've never really been all that "Business whatever you wanna call it". Let's just say, my first time truly running my first successful company. I was just being myself. But, I'm not an animal, I had my own business cards. It went well for all the people who already knew me. The others, let's say it wasn't any easy start. Most of them came around, or just fell in line. It's not as if I am a meanie for meanie sake.
I would have to basically relearn most of all of it again. But, if I don't use it then I lose it. Lol
These are a great thing to know if you are or plan on going to Japan for work/to live long term. Very nice TC! 👏
I bet this feels like a second nature to people actually doing business in Japan.
It’s like how nodding to people by lowering your forehead is for respect and by tilting your chin up is for a friend.
I lost it when I saw the thumbnail lmao
I need to visit my eye dr...I thought the white board said "business lemon" until Shiori read it...
Watch a few dozen Chris broad videos and your feed suddenly all about living in Japan. Anyway, in New Hampshire USA I think you could probably rock a 15-degree bow just going around. Yeah, I think I use a slight bow as a greeting, although with eye contact and keeping the chin up. Maybe that kind of breaks the rules of a Japanese bowing, or maybe it's Maybelline, but you know yeah I think people kind of bow as a greeting in America. I mean if you combine it with removing your hat it's sort of a cowboy kind of move. Of course I understand it's different but as a orchestral bassist I bowed all the time. As a stay-at-home dad I don't so much bow as wilt.
It's interesting that Sarah hasn't been there as long as I thought, she comes across so naturally that she feels like she'd been with TC longer than Emma for some reason. XD Also Yay to Emma Business shorts! XD
I can't get over the fact that Emma is doing the Michael Jackson tilting move in the thumbnail.
Sarah is like kaya scodelario from maze runner cast
There are so many rules in Japan. So stressful!
I couldn't work in Japan! This is so pedantic lol
i actually knew that whoever sits closest to the door was most likely to get killed which is why the most important person never has the door seat =D i also wouldve put them in the middel, because im used to centristic
It's like having a child teaching adults. Or a little lady principal. Eitherway, it's educating.
私は本当に日本語を勉強しています
I learn japanese at home
Emma is BAE
They all are
3:43 in the geman language we have an insult that basically sound the similar like Hou Ren Sou 😳😅 especially with an accent and it has a completly different meaning
Are they like that outside of their country?
If I was 20 years younger I'd be moving to Japan or Korea, maybe swapping between the two
13:53 CLCL?
Really interesting Video - but the Question is:
Who lives/workes under the Table and leaves it so messy at 10:32 ? xD
This is interesting really!
Dear Japanese people,
Can you answer correctly?
As a german I think „Hou-Ren-Sou“ sounds pretty funny to me :‘D
It sounds like a pretty bad curse word in Germany :P
I've never heard that story. Would you mind if I ask you what the word is? I'm curious about what spinach in Japanese sounds like in German.
@@tykep1009 I hope TH-cam don‘t hate at me when I write it :‘D
It‘s „Hurensohn“… It‘s „son-of-a-bitch“ in English :P
5:37 OMG This triggers me sooooo much. I would bring up ideas and that's exactly how they responded.
Emma doing the michael jackson lean in the thumbnail 😂
Y'all just wanted an excuse to wear cute blazers. 😋
