@@Nina-hx6jb I ended up choosing Osaka!! Overall it’s been really great and much less intense than Tokyo would’ve been imo :) good luck with your study abroad! If you have any other questions feel free to ask
I think public trashcans in Tokyo were mostly removed because of the gas attacks in 1995. Maybe that's why Osaka covers theirs when there's big crowds of tourists?
I think that 90% of Japanese international couples youtubers (with non-asian foreign women) are with men from Kansai region. Do you think the directness of Kansai culture has something to do with it? Or are Kansai men are more attracted to non-asian women or vice-versa?
That’s a good question!! I have a few friends in Tokyo who are married to or are dating men from the kanto area but I think almost all of them have lived abroad or traveled a lot. But other friends have told me that they like Kansai guys because they’re more direct and laidback! My husband doesn’t take things so seriously and he’s pretty open- minded for the most part
Thank you for your video! It was really helpful. We are in the process of choosing to move to Tokyo or Osaka at the moment. Was just in both Tokyo and Osaka this last week and most of the topics you stated I saw first hand.
I am also making the transition soon from Tokyo to the Kansai area and I'm so excited! Thanks for this video! Not sure if I am gonna do Kyoto or Osaka yet. My work said either was okay, but I want a more modern apartment so Im leaning toward Osaka 😅
That’s so exciting!! Tough choice because they’re both so different ☺️ I have a friend who lives in a suburban part of Kyoto that’s still close to the city and her area is super quaint and adorable!
lmfaooooo at the “am I wrong?” part. You are so cool just different style now! Plus you right ( in comments) winter is for comfort :p can’t wait to visit Osaka better next time 💜
Hasan M. Hasan no problem! I don’t think Osaka-ben is anything to worry about! If you take the time to listen to people when they speak, you’ll pick up on a lot
First of all - that wall climbing gif is amazing. Second of all - I really want to visit Osaka now! I've only stayed there for Universal Studio's visit. How is it getting around in English tho?
I think it’s about the same as Tokyo! The train announcements are in English and so are many signs. In more touristy areas like Umeda or Shinsaibashi staff are more prepared to use English. Kyoto is very English-friendly as well!
Even though this is not a gear channel, any chance you'll walk us through how you made your new camera choice and differences in performance e.g. low light and sound? Lower resolution seems okay for YT so maybe no big changes in how you edit, or computer used?
I can definitely mention it in the next video! That’ll be the first one I make using the camera. You probably won’t be surprised by which camera I chose 😂
Hello thanks for this video 😁, the last time I traveled to Osaka I also notice that people smoke more on the street in not permited áreas than in tokyo, what you think?
Looking to intern in japan soon and going into film. I'm liking the sound of osaka alot, is learning japanese a necessity or is there a large enough english speaking community?
Osaka is great! You can definitely get by without Japanese but if you want more work opportunities and deeper connection with people, you’ll benefit from learning
Thanks for the video! I don’t know what to choose between study japaneese in Tokyo or in Osaka! Don’t know if there is the same opportunies of work in osaka to compare of tokyo! I’m disappointed😅
I think Tokyo might have more jobs because there are more people, but personally I like Osaka more ☺️ the dialect is really cool and it just feels more comfortable (for me!)
Did you find it easier to make Japanese speaking Japanese friends in Osaka or Tokyo? I live in Osaka now and nothing seems to pass casual... my partner (from Nagano) wants to move to Tokyo for that reason.
You make a very good point! This year I haven’t been actively trying to make too many friends for obvious pandemic reasons lol but in the first few months I was in Osaka I talked to a lot of people, maybe exchanged line info and hung out once or twice but it didn’t turn into a lasting friendship. So it’s hard to say! I experienced that in Tokyo too but I also have a couple really close Japanese friends that I made there.
@@franklinthewoman I’m a year and a half in Osaka, and I can’t say I got any friends I would count on here. I’ve only visited Tokyo, but I have ...2.... Do you think it’s a matter of luck? Also do you feel Tokyo is more willing to speak Japanese to a westerner, that’s been my experience. But again, only visiting there.
For only having visited Tokyo 2 is a lot! 👏🏻 In my experience more people talked to me in Tokyo when I was visiting, maybe visitors have a less jaded look about them haha, or when people were drinking! I guess that’s the norm everywhere though haha. Maybe a bit of luck, but it could be that Tokyo just suits you and your partner better
@@franklinthewoman haha, maybe. Your partner is from here (Osaka) my in from the edge of kanto. So home is home and that’s the type that attracted us. But still in Osaka at lest a few more months,maybe till summer.
@@gregorybreen7705 Osaka people are very friendly they usually want to get to know people. Tokyo is very crowdy and busy therefore they don't have time for you. I don't know about you man
I am Japanese on Tokyo side and what I find interesting is that people in Osaka brag about having shopped cheaply. In Tokyo, they talk about expensive purchases.
Love this video, and happy you found a partner from Osaka! Too many white guys with Japanese girls in Tokyo lol. Totally gonna use this as a reference about living in Osaka. I lived in Tokyo for 7+ years. Starting to get tired of the cold Tokyoites, distancing of people and the uptightness of locals and foreigners here.
Tokyo is basically for the first timers and nothing more. Yes tokyo is huge but no much to lool at. that is why tokyo-related videos focus on team labo Shibuya scramble etc. Tokyo is a place for business not for a dat trip. Ask local Japanese that is what it is.
I've been living in Tokyo for 3.5 years and I'm tired, people are boring and robots. Workaholics, always busy. You don't make long term friends at all. People use you to show off or to practice their english (i don't mind at all about the practice thing). Tokyo people only have eyes for US men, nothing else to say, facts!!!!!!! Your first year in Tokyo will be amazing, but after that it become boring easy and so fast. Hopefully I move to Osaka this year of 2023.
Not yet!! This is just with my ring light and iPhone! Next video will be with the new camera though 👏🏻👏🏻 Thanks haha. I get lazy in the winter so I feel like I need to step up my fashion game again
@@franklinthewoman same! I had long surfer hair in high school and college, and when I chopped it all off I was shocked how much easier my life got, haha.
@@franklinthewoman not gonna lie, when one cuts all their hair off, or moves, or purges collected junk in your closets, you aren't just cutting hair, or packing boxes and sleeping someplace different, or throwing things away, there's a lot of introspection and emotional baggage that goes with it, for whatever reason. I still enjoy the catharsis of purging and finding more meaningful things to keep around me.

Something else I just realized: in Tokyo hair salons are closed on Tuesday and in Osaka they’re closed on Monday 😂
that‘s a good one haha
This is definitely helpful since im debating where in Japan i want to do my study abroad! I'm between a school in Tokyo and one close to Osaka!
Awesome glad I can be of help!
Which city did you end up choosing? I am also debating the same question for my upcoming study abroad!
@@Nina-hx6jb I ended up choosing Osaka!! Overall it’s been really great and much less intense than Tokyo would’ve been imo :) good luck with your study abroad! If you have any other questions feel free to ask
@@Nina-hx6jb I am going to Osaka this fall for my study abroad :)
@@jaxxii are you an exchange student at Osaka University? :)

That makes perfect sense!

Great video, very helpful. I was in Tokyo last month and absolutely loved it. Thinking of visiting Osaka and Kyoto next year.
Great video! Looking forward to more!
Thanks so much! 💕

Thanks for appreciating the memes hahah. I’m excited for spring fashion at least. And yeah see you soon in Osaka 💜
Hi, Franklin Thanks for the very informative video. I'll be moving to Osaka in july to work as a software engineer. A bit worried about Osaka ben.
Hasan M. Hasan no problem! I don’t think Osaka-ben is anything to worry about! If you take the time to listen to people when they speak, you’ll pick up on a lot

Interesting. Living in both places would give a good perspective.
True! 😁
Cheers for making this video! Very informative and easy to watch! おおきに!ｗ
Anytime! ☺️

Took me like three min. to notice the huge earrings!
Cool I used to live in Osaka
Nice! Do you miss it?
@@franklinthewoman yea I do. I am in Tokyo now and miss 551.
Totally get that!

Yehey army?! :D

That means I don't have to use subtitles on any anime I watch
フランクリンさんとハンナin japanさんは同一人物ですか？ すみません、混同しているので教えて下さい。
ハンナさん知りませんでしたが，調べました！私とハンナさんは少し似てるんですね。😱
franklin the woman 最初は、チャネルを2つ持っていると思っていた。 Another person is Doppelgänger？I think it is similar for Japanese.
Yeah! Doppelgänger or look-alike
Yes, Osaka people are known for their impatience, which is called "I-ra-chi". Your boyfriend must know it. :)
That must be why many people say はよ行け！😂😂
Omg is that with your new camera??? Gurrrllll!!! Nooo you are not laaaameeeee :'(
