I had the same feeling when sitting down at a table and talking with people about a Darth Vader cosplayer I met at a comic convention who took a photo with me out of the blue. I heard one person ask who Darth Vader was. Every other person at that table stood silently shocked.
It'll be interesting to see if the personal trainer knows what One Piece if she doesn't know about Hatsune Miku. Both have similar levels of public marketing in Japan.
I feel like I'm always in the position of the personal trainer since it's really really common for people to bring something up, for me not to know anything about it, then for them to just stare in shock and disbelief. Tbf, I don't watch almost any movies, know about any Non-Japanese singers (i know who taylor swift and michael jackson are and that's about it), or keep up with news/recent events. It'd probably be faster to list out what I do know.
Not knowing as a foreinger is understandable, but never even seeing her? That's kinda crazy. Hatsune Mike was so synonymous with Japan to me as a kid and I had no fuckin' idea what she even was back then.
Extroversion or introversion has no real impact on whether or not someone likes anime. It's about how you recover and loose social energy. introverts recover from being alone and loose it from being with people and extroverts are the opposite.
I'm gonna say something a little insensitive, so please let me preference that this is most definitely not universal. As someone that lives in a country built almost entirely on immigration, and interacting with a lot of immigrants through my work on a day-to-day basis. There are some too whom have only immigrated for a better living wage and standard of living, and are indifferent to their new country's culture (or worse, feel isolated from it), let alone integrating into it. Immigrating to Japan has got to be a massive exception to this. Who would immigrate there if not for their culture?
Well, it's basic labor economics. The economic decision is (benefit of moving) - (Costs of moving + benefit of staying put) If the result is positive, you do it, if it's not, you don't. Benefits and costs here include all non monetary concerns as well like culture etc. And remember that for non monetary matters, each person can have their own rating of the factors. Japan is no exception to this, there are plenty of Filipinos, Thais, Indians, Nepalese, and other Asians who are in Japan for better life opportunities and not because they're weebs.
Actually I just looked it up, according to the wiki page I found, in 2020, the share of immigrants living in Japan who were not from Asia was a paltry 11.7%, of which 8.8 were from South America The cultural effect on immigration (as you envision it) is likely miniscule

"10 years is perfectly blended in the society" is hurt

If i go to the far East I'd be looking for a certain big lizard
“Dark Kiryu” name checks out, don’t destroy the city looking for big G
I’ve seen Hatsune Miki protein powder over there. That’s wild that she doesn’t know who she is with that marketing spread

I still don't know what the hell Hatsune Miku is.
3:25 dat incredulous shriek!
Do you know RaorA Panthera?
what kind of personal trainer is she talking about?
its probably for Idol training, you know for dancing, singing and such.
@@yourbeautifulskinn its her gym personal trainer
Maybe her trainer is too busy to look at something else I guess. She either busy or not interested to look at it.
that's me
Most extroverts probably don't know anime stuff.
This is someone who lives in japan for over 10 years, its not about being extrovert its about being aware of the culture around you
Pikachu is known by almost everyone

she's not into anime i guess.
I was into anime and I had no idea who Miku was for a long period of time.
@@dark1tech well, tbf Miku belongs to the vocaloid subculture
