- If you’ve watched Marie Kondo’s new show on Netflix, you may have caught yourself wishing that Marie herself would come to your house and save you from your mountain of endless clutter.
That’s not going to happen, of course. Ms Kondo is far too busy.
But if you’ve got the cash, you can hire a surrogate.
For around $2,000, Konmari Inc offers certification as a Konmari Consultant. Once you’ve gone through a fancy seminar and completed hours of on-the-job training, you are officially authorized to tell people how to clean up their messy room.
VICE News went through hours of folding lessons, visualization sessions, and origami breaks to find out what it takes to be a professional wannabe Kondo.

Most impressive part of this video is the Vice reporter just whipping out his Japanese in conversation. Totally did not expect that.
It was good japanese. He speaks slowly to make his words come out.
Why?
@@jeffii9890 VICE sometimes sends reporters to cover stories when they seemingly have no interest/knowledge in the area they are covering in the slightest. This guy coming out with Japanese is just a bit of a surprise is all.
@@BudikahYT Fair enough.
"VICE sometimes sends reporters to cover stories when they seemingly have no interest/knowledge in the area they are covering in the slightest."
With respect, I don't think you have anything besides an uninformed opinion about that. Perhaps I'm wrong though, so any examples would help.
Different dispositions does not equal lack of interest. As far as knowledge, part of journalism is asking questions that the lay person completely ignorant of the topic would ask. There's also the possibility that instead of no knowledge, they have less knowledge than someone, such as you or I, watching the video.
@@jeffii9890 With respect, VICE has done some absolutely shitty interviews that should have been much more interesting - usually because the reporter they send seemed uninterested in the subject, or turned their nose up at it.
Being that it's subjective, and this is the TH-cam comment section - there really isn't any point in me going through VICE's huge archive to pick out the ones I thought were awful to appease you or continue the argument. We can agree to disagree, and both come out with less time wasted on something we simply might not agree on.
I appreciate that he was able to speak to her in Japanese 😎
Me too.
Same. Vice does a great job at pairing stories with the right journalist.
@Targon Labasco you have issues
yes!
@Targon Labasco LFMAO!!
You could call it a scam except she has a book with detailed step by step instructions, a manga series of you need pictures, and a Netflix series if your attention span can't handle it, those things don't cost 300-400$ Someone taking time out of their day and coming to your house to help you do it is service.
Aaaaannnddd this was also her thesis...so technically she also researched and collected data from it and was approved by professors❤️👏
But by paying for the class, you're paying for the piece of paper that says you have a title that certifies you to perform this service
they do teach you a lot like the host applied to what he learned at the seminar onto the pro bono work he did for the widower and used the questions implemented in konmari classes and applied to his client which helped
MooChoochan people who cannot be functional to clean up their own belongings, they have more mental problems than physical problems. They need consultant and a push, which Kondo consultant can provide.
This is true. However, even with knowledge from the books or tv shows, the task can still be overwhelming for many people. Especially if they are not used to it. A consultant can help you get an extra push, and have a different perspective. And help you see things you would have otherwise not thought of. Sure, it is great if you can handle it on your own, but respect the one who can't. Life is not always black and white.
I don't understand why everyone is framing the KonMari in such strange ways. Marie is just an expert in something that she's very passionate about, and she's an excellent businesswoman. What's so wrong about that? She's accomplished and she's changing lives. Why can't people just see it for what it is?
UPDATE: thanks for the upvotes! I wanted to add that I think it’s especially upsetting for Vice to do this because they are known for being so non-judgemental, and just giving a platform to a variety of phenomena. They love to be un-bias about edgy stuff, so why do they have to manipulate something pure?
Yeah this video almost went out of its way to frame her as some sort of cult leader. "I had a rare conversation with the leader of the movement." "She's just as charismatic in person, as long as you're following her rules." ??? Did people talk about Martha Stewart like this? Idk.
because they want you and everyone else to feel like cleaning and being organized is evil and unnecessary because they are butt hurt their own space homes and offices are disorderly and disorganized and cluttered. i really can't believe kimmels office there was a dead roach! he tried to be funny about it but for someone who makes millions i thought the first thing their office would be clean to a t
rebecca Martha Stewart was mocked, too. I think anti-feminine sentiment is a lot of it, too
forest princess you’re so right. People should relax. I’m so glad I saw her show because it made me realize how cluttered I started to feel over the last few years. I thought I was organized because I thought of myself that way, but life interfered and now I feel like I have a way to start getting things in order
@shethewriter I live a little messy I'd like to apply this method. and every 2-4 years I do sort out the clothes I don't wear anymore and just either donate it or sell it. It helps hanging up all my clothes and color coordinate them and then put summer shoes in those big organizer clear boxes and only have the winter shoes out. Decluttering and minimizing feels refreshing. I'd love to keep a minimal lifestyle because there's just too many products most we need and some we don't necessarily need.
Im glad he took this seriously and went thru the training and client consultation. Would have been very easy to goof it up.
Kombinatsiya I respectfully disagree. I felt like his narrative was negative, defensive and belittling. Didn’t like his “reporting”...if one could call it that.
So many haters... Don't stop Marie; America NEEDS to be taught how to tidy, and have a little introspection too. I've cleaned a lot of upper class houses, and this is not just a lower class or 'lazy people' issue. It's a pandemic, no joke. Rich people tend to think something is worth less, or worse worthless, unless overpriced. If this is what it takes to get them (and everyone else too) closer to a life with less consumption, I'm all in. 👏👏👏
Anny Major yup my friend makes six figures she spends all her free time shopping she ends up with sooo much stuff! she rents a two bedroom she could've bought a house by now. hahaa there's no use talking to her cause she addicted to material things and she's a taurus and she makes enough money to keep buying! i'm not going to help cause i'm not a maid and my advice is just going over deaf ears at this point
I agree! Having less possessions (and waste) is not only better for the environment; learning to reshape your perspective and value the things in your life is better for your mental health!
okashi10 truee best way to eliminate a lot of plastic is to consume a lot less which will help the environment. plastic takes forever to biodegrade.
@Sweet Pea - I beg to differ. Visit any street in Japan and you'll see how clean they are in general. Just look at their super detailed trash sorting and recycling system. Or the more traditional Japanese bedrooms where you put your futon/bed away in the closet everyday. Or how they scrub their shared bathtubs almost every night. Or how they love to form lines even when lines aren't necessary (seriously, people in Japan love to queue up).
@Sweet Pea You definitely should look at consumerism in America, there are videos here on that issue and it's crazy.
I thought this was gonna be about surrogate pregnancies

I don't think folding babies is a thing you can get licensed in though
Chris Davis me too😂
I wanna like this twice because I’m kinda disappointed that would be cooler
Chris Davis 😂
Being raised by Japanese immigrants, I was basically taught at a young age that I need to take care of my belongings because everything has a spirit. I’ve seen cartoons where objects that weren’t taken care of and thrown out came to life to haunt people. So from a young age, I took really good care of my things and felt really bad if something broke and I needed to discard it. If it was possible, we gave things new life. Like shoe boxes can be used to organize things and gift wrap can be reused for other gifts. For dishes, plates, and cups, some people do kintsugi, which repairs those with a gold resin.
When we’re eating, we say “Itadakimasu,” which means “I will partake” and it is also saying “thank you” to the plants and animal life that have been taken away, the people who raised the food, and the people prepared the food so you can keep living. We ate everything on our plate so nothing went to waste, otherwise, my parents would say “mottainai,” which means basically means, “wasteful” to the point of regret, like you feel bad for wasting food.
Basically, these ideas are ingrained into Japanese culture and that’s why it’s not so weird for Mari to be saying hello to the house, or telling people to thank whatever they’re getting rid of, or waking up books. I think she is trying to give people the mindset to appreciate their things and to reflect on how much they actually need so they don’t accumulate more things that they are not going to need or want.
Yoshinator54 - That was a beautiful, in-depth perspective. More people need to read this. :-)
Amen!!!! FINALLY someone types this up for those who miss the key points of her method. 👌😊👏😊👍😊 #ilovethekonmarimethod
The only spirits that could possibly reside in any object is a demon. Being thankful for something is one thing, saying something has a spirit is something totally different and dangerous actually.
Had to check out the show after about the tenth time hearing about it and gotta say, it's an amazing method. More than just a declutter or minimalism idea but a way to be happier with the things you have. Started thinking about it and it can actually be used to help 'spark joy' with your money as well. A lot of the things we buy don't really make us happy so using those KonMari rules to declutter expenses really works.
I have idea if your joking or not but hey if it was works for you more power to you
This comment was in the Colbert interview with Marie.
"This public announcement was brought to you by... KonMari Inc...!" lol
It's an art. Stop calling it a cult. In Japan everything can be an art form. Why do you think they learn origami? Discipline and art. Culture and dedication.
qL8Yv03vlT Ddh42hnG62hKv27934Hrs it’s not a pyramid scheme it’s class.
qL8Yv03vlT Ddh42hnG62hKv27934Hrs don’t pyramid schemes have to have the new hires recruit new people? Like that is a fundamental aspect of multi level marketing? I don’t see that here.
Looks like to me it’s an expensive useless class to get a useless qualification and I see no way Kondo can milk them for more money after the initial £2k.
@@f37r24scbGescb2 Why would they recruit people? Recruiting people will create competition. There is no incentive in recruiting people.

qL8Yv03vlT Ddh42hnG62hKv27934Hrs the structure is pretty flat, get KonMari cert, clients book from those certified folks
calling her a cult leader, scammer, etc...americans sure are ungrateful and unappreciative towards people who are just trying to do good huh...
shvn.
For real... 😒
1. Not all Americans are like this (so don’t put us into one group)
2. Everyone can be ungrateful
3. Why target Americans ? Lol
But it’s horrible that they are calling her that it’s really unnecessary
>just trying to do good
You made it sound like this is not a lucrative business for her personal gains.
Then she should at least charge reasonable fees.
Who called her a scammer/cult leader?
@@Wallguardian people in the comments
A scam involves deception and lies. I don't think the Mari Kondo service does this. Granted it does seem silly to pay for someone to teach then how to clean/organize, it seems it's a real need in today's world. Marie Kondo is just taking advantage of this reality. She is actually changing the world for the better and making people's lives better! (and profiting at the same time). She deserves a lot of credit and respect!
@Gr8 Incarnate maybe it is shameful but if it is, it's shameful for the people who need the help, not Marie Kondo. She is just helping. How things should be and reality is not the same. And what does disease and hunger have anything to do with this?!
Some people just get overwhelmed and need help staying on track or help to “divide and conquer”. I don’t think it’s shameful to hire someone to help. You have someone who is non biased helping you see what’s useful and what’s not.
@Gr8 Incarnate Seems about as shameful as having someone organize and explain your life when you're depressed...
@Gr8 Incarnate I mean if you keep shaming people that may not be helping society become more organised right, your method seem a little off. Marie Kondo may seem cultish but her popularity I think is a natural reaction to a very negative thing . The capitalist and consumerism society keep shoving ads and pressure people to keep buying things they don't need. People who doesn't have restraint will believe this buying this or that will make them happy. In a society of plenty hoarding became the norm and some will of course be worse at tidying up.
Well, hoarders mentality can do many damage, look at cats and dogs hoarders for example . Marie Kondo philosophy mamboo jumbo might seem funny but to many it maybe seen as a middle ground. It doesn't outright reject consumerism but it is also striving to be as zen and minimal as much as possible.
It is not asking you to stop buying but is asking why those items come into your life.
I can see why there is a mass appeal for her methods.
If you haven’t noticed yet, it’s not just teaching people how to clean, it’s also essentially a therapy session for people who lost control of their lives. Have you ever done so much shit for a person and listened to too much of their personal stuff and gave them advise while you’re helping them out? This is the same thing, but you’re getting paid.
Anyone else's jaw drop to the ground when my man just casually interviews her in Japanese?
No
I've seen black people speak tons of languages. Once you travel the world and see for yourself you won't be as surprised. You must sit home all day
Nah, I seen black people speak Japanese before, even sing in Japanese. Like enka singer Jero.
😄 why .
It’s not uncommon but it’s also not everyday lol a lot of people speak Japanese but you don’t see it often especially in some news channels and such
So to all the people above it’s not everyday you see someone speak the native tongue of someone else’s language especially in America you don’t come across that often lol
Her foundation comes from Zen Buddhism. Marie worked at temples. The process won't work for everyone, I do not know why people think its a miracle that will solve all your problems. However, its a great way to reflect on points of your life through a physical object while organizing your space. It hopefully teaches you about consumption. Humans love to take and receive and forget to take the time and appreciate what they have.
And Shinto.
its mostly shinto if im not mistaken she used to work as a shinto priestess
She was a Shinto shrine maiden, not Zen Buddhism.
@Sweet Pea where does your garbage info come from? You talked about japan being like Isis yaddah yaddah.
Also shes Shinto not Buddhist.
A clever way to bring demons into your home by "waking up books."
Vice news has some of the most intelligent interviewers I have ever seen.
I thought this would be a scam, but it seems like there's a definite market for this. You're not just helping someone manage their home, but, like in the lawyer's case, coaching them to transition into a new stage in their life. Even if you're not in the same situation as her, it might be a good experience to just get an appreciation for the things you surround yourself with, and remove things that are extraneous. Plus people will think you have your shit together for the few weeks it stays tidy lol.
I feel like marie's stuff really highlights that people need help sometimes to do things. We tend to live like we're all islands that should be self sustaining but we're just people who need some help sometimes to clean. I think its really sweet and empathetic to both help and ask for help to declutter.
Reading these comments, it's quite clear that most of yall have no idea what a pyramid scheme is.
First, you don't need a consultant to tidy, you just have to read the method that she describes in her 10USD book.
Becoming a consultant is getting training to do a job. Most people do in fact pay money for classes and to train in certain professions. Paying for training does not equal pyramid scheme.
Going to free seminar when they convince you to buy a product and recruit 10 more people to buy that product and work under you, THAT is a pyramid scheme. None of which you need to do to tidy your own space or tidy for others. You just won't be licensed in her method. It's pretty damn simple.
It's like calling the Bob Ross certified painters a pyramid scheme.
Amen sister. I assume that professional house cleaners are part of a pyramid scheme too then. Molly Maids pays there employees to train prior to entering the field. Private house cleaning companies have the opportunity to pay to attend conventions each year as well. People should think outside of their box prior to speaking.

It's refreshing to see a foreign interviewer interview someone in their own language.
Dang good journalism. Give this guy a raise
It's always amazing when a white or black American knows more than one language. I liked seeing him have a conversation in Japanese and I liked seeing him experience a new world that's very different from the mainstream
Considering the immigration rate in the USA, Tens of millions of American speak 2+ languages. So its not really Amazing, its just a common thing. Hell the USA is in the top 5 Spanish speaking countries by number of Speakers. Same thing with filipino, Vietnamese, Chinese, French ect ect. Americans landed people on the moon with less computing power then your phone!
@@kiDkiDkiD12 It's like Mark Zuckerberg speaking fluent Chinese, even though his wife is Chinese but that doesn't change anything because he wasn't born into a Chinese family.
65+ million Americans speak a 2nd language, it's not uncommon.
@@dewdrops3286 Most of those are Asian or Latino, not white or black!
@@ie2693 and what about it, they're still American.
I love how through it all, he genuinely helped someone. Good outcome.
Fun fact: prior to Mari Kondo ever making her book, books on cleaning up and organizing were abundant and popular in Japan by many authors, but hers stuck out from the rest and made its way to the top.
1:27 You not have to do her like that Vice editor, lol.

I did my entire house; was done in less than 4 months. I loved organizing the Konmari way. Like anything, it's successful only if you follow instructions. 1. read entire book before starting. 2. follow the steps in order by category. This guy was after 'a story', he didn't have the motivation the other consultants had. And he didn't ask his client to do the very first step: imagine your home the way you would like it to be.
"Kondo Consultant" works, "Kondo-it" is better
Omg...! Soo many Karens ...!
thinkbottom where are all the kids they took?
@@KYPspikes 😂 lol
This entire video was just so... lovely. Such a good vibe came from it x
You helped someone get organized. That’s great.
"First is clothing" No first is thanking the house ;)
For Marie Kondo, yes. First for homeowner is imagine his/her ideal home.
a perfect example of thanking something you are about to throw away, i broke a bowl literally just this morning and since they were hand made by a family friend who has gotten very old, i picked up the peaces and thanked them before simply carelessly tossing them in the trash. I think it is nice to know you can look back and genuinely say you were grateful for the things you used or had to let go of in life.
Perfect scam: go door to door claiming you work for Mari Kondo. After overcharging them, take all the stuff they threw away and sell it online.
This guy might be the greatest bsns mind in the history of the USA.
Not really, most of the stuff thrown out are junk, like how would you sell used cutleries or yellowed used books...
@@SuperShiki666That's why you go to higher income people's houses.
who says she wont be selling her stuff online? making assumptions...It is a good way to make money off your old stuff. If anything doing this will be a great way to supplement your own income.
@@831mrscardoso But that's not really getting rid of stuff if they are holding onto it for resell.
I photograph objects before I discard them. It takes up less space and keeps the sentimental value.
Weird
it's not so much that i don't need something but when i need it. for example i bought these pans for baking i don't bake everyday i don't even bake once a month i baked probably once a year for my boss birthday office party. i thought it would be healthier than ordering out. but they take up space the muffin tins the cake tins the mini cake tins and the baking sheet. i would loooove to discard them but i'm not spending $50 to buy new ones each time i need them
that's actually a piece of advice she gives as well!
@@dw-oc7uj does it bring you joy to bake even though you don't do it often? then keep it. especially because they also serve a purpose (and marie kondo differentiates that as important as well; not everything that serves a purpose will spark joy but you still have to keep it). perhaps you just have to reorganize to find a better way of storage (maybe you don't have to keep them in the kitchen with pans you use often, but in a clear box in a closet or under the bed?) and then it'll bring you more joy. :)
My home has never been the same since I picked up her book in 2016! It really changed my life! After seeing this I hope you know that you truly helped her and that’s remarkable... Thank you for sharing!
A good idea is to take a photo of the stuff that you're about to let go or take a photo of you holding it. You get to save space and have the memory of owning your stuff. Also, understand that everything in this world will deteriorate and maybe a photo of your stuff would last longer than the actual thing.
I love that this is something that becoming a thing. In America, it’s always like everyone has a surplus of just STUFF in their homes. Even something as having a cluttered kitchen can seem small and meaningless, like there’s other things to worry about in the world, but it causes a great amount of stress for a lot of people. When your home is clean and clutter free, it reflects on your life. When you have a professional come in, they help you in weaving around the complicated feelings that we attach with objects in the home that we might not necessarily need. Sometimes you just need help to navigate the mess and have someone help you take things step by step and teach you better ways to organize.
If I had the money, I’d definitely hire someone to help me revamp the way I organize so it’s not as stressful.
im a dog groomer and i know i cant do this job 4 ever cause its not an easy job. people are already telling me i should become a counselor etc. and seeing this job makes me think. wouldnt it be cool if i could help people not clean but clear up their space. i sometimes go to peoples home privately and when im grooming dogs. and sometimes they have homes that are so full. with stuff that needs to be organised at last. and they simple cant get it done on their own but need a helping hand..... maybe in the future..... i can see my self doing this job maybe. i do see the use of the organising it gives me at least a good feeling when i organise my home. and once in a while i go through stuff to see what i still need and what can go away.

good report
this is the only interview I've seen where she's asked questions in Japanese
I think this is remarkable. Selling people how to improve themselves in a tangible manner is amazing.
Loved this. He was great.
I don’t know why most people in America pronounced her name as if like the name Mary ,, it’s actually Marie 麻理恵 ( pronounced Ma Ri E )
Because it is spelled like Marie (mur-ee) but they say Kondo like (condo) when it's really (Koen'-do')
I really like this guy hes awesome so prepared and amazing that he interviewed her in her language I'm really enjoying seeing his videos
I was wondering if I could handle being a consultant. It's great to see someone go through the process. There's definitely more to it than just being organized. From this video I now understand how this can be not just physical but emotional. When he takes the time to listen to a story about an item and not place judgement, shows there is much more to this emotionally.
Even though the gentleman decided against pursuing this as a career, it was delightful to watch him help another person and be there for her through the start of her tidying journey.
Marie was ready to strange him when he said he felt anxious saying goodbye to the items, lol.
The cat woman who's a widow is so sweet. I hope she's doing well
She's so beautiful - she sparks joy whenever I see her
I love her and her method, I agree that the cleaning process isn’t about stuff it’s about wanting to be s better version of yourself and reflecting on how you’ve grown through your items
I thought the ending was a bit abrupt, but it was interesting to kind of see what goes on behind the scenes with this whole konmari craze
I see a lot messy people, so maybe this is a movement worth following.
My dude. You definitely sparked joy in that widow. Good job.
This guy doesn't know what it's like to not have anything. Expressing gratitude to the things that "served" you should be easy.
This consumption oriented society needs her. I want to pinpoint 2 things: one, that her movement consequently helped lots of poor people because of the donations that followed, and two: besides learning useful things too organise your life from this tiny and cute Japanese woman, take a moment to apreciate what she has done for herself. I can't know if it's true but I heard she was obsessed with tidying from a very youg age. So much that for me sounds like an ocd. To turn a compulsion around into a lesson and a business it's just being a phoenix bird if you ask me.. way to go, woman! That's the most inspiring thing of all she did! Hell yeah..😐👍👍👍

This was a really sweet segment and watching a skeptic still try something themselves and see how it helps people, even if it's not necessarily for you almost brings me to tears.
I wish we could all try to attempt to understand everything with this level of poise and compassion and rationality.
@@f37r24scbGescb2 do you know how much fucking therapy cost, dude? I hear the skeptics loud n clear, it's your own personal responsibility to draw boundaries, research, and know if you're within your means.
This doesn't fit the definition of an MLM though YET.
We'll see how this progresses but thinking something's a pyramid scheme cause white women with no hobbies will jump on anything is dumb.
@@f37r24scbGescb2 Also you should listen to the skeptics, the reporter, yourself. He literally concluded with "This isnt for me but I understand why it's helpful and good for other people."
Things aren't black and white get outside yourself.
I also enjoyed the segment. The seminar was a wonderful experience and well worth the cost. As a Certified KonMari Consultant now, it's my privilege to work with people who, as much as they'd like to, just cannot declutter and organize on their own. Emotional support is key, especially as I work with widows. Thanks for the positive comment :)
@@f37r24scbGescb2 okay once again, this is not an MLM.
when reps start getting paid to bring other people to these seminars and get a cut then sure, ill say this is bad, but it ISNT an mlm and treating it as such isnt fair. And i honestly think you're probably racist tbh.

He has a wonderful calm energy
I tried her method back when I read her book and honestly, it does work. It helps you clear out way more stuff than you'd normally be able to get rid of because it psychologically reframes the situation (seeing all your stuff in a pile makes you feel like you have too much & are actually embarassed by how much it is, which helps you get rid of stuff). This makes it seem so sinister, when it's just decluttering. The thanking thing is kind of a lesson in appreciating your possessions & it can help you let go of old worn out things that you like. Now, it's not true that you do it once & you never have to do it again. You will buy more stuff and while it does make you more mindful about your purchases, you'll still accumulate things. Plus, things will wear out, go out of fashion so they stop bringing you joy, and so on. However, if you do it every couple of years, you can pretty much maintain your home in this decluttered, relaxing state. Some aspects of it have been harder for me than others (like folding.. so tempting to just toss everything on a spare bed), but filing is definitely superior to stacking, which is what I used to do. There are some things I'm less keen on, like her belief that you should empty your bag after you come home every day and repack for each day (it does prevent accumulating junk in your bag or losing things, but it's exhausting) and that you should keep everything of a category in the same spot, regardless of efficiency benefits of separating things. That hasn't worked for me. For example, I'll have baking soda in the bathroom and the kitchen, because I use it for cleaning things in both places and it's annoying to carry it back and forth. Similarly, I keep board games all over the house because while I love the conceptual idea of keeping them all together, I simply have too many to fit them in any one location! This is despite constantly selling off those that don't bring me joy.
I looooove marie kondo she’s so sweet
I quite like this religion.
“Does this spark joy”
Despite it not being cut out for him, he should feel very proud that he helped someone like this. And yeah he did it for a report but he offered his services for free. You can tell this has a profound impact on some people's lives.
That lady looks like she's ready to start a new venture with that smile.
Throwing out things that you don't need is liberating. I just finished renovating our home and instead of making more storage, we making open spaces meaning less storage and more things to throw out. Me and my husband throwed out a lot of thing and it felt good.
finally, a video with no one (so far) mentioning his hair in the comment, this guy is funny and very smart!
Just curiosity if you speak Japanese... How good was his Japanese?
It's pretty good
Very good.
So good and natural!
His abbreviated “nandesukane” (pronounced like “nansukane”) at 3:17 struck me as being very natural. Not the kind of Japanese you learn in class, but the kind you learn through immersion. Abbreviating the “-desu” into something like “-ssu” sounds pretty slangy and the older folks think it’s rude, but it’s quite common among younger people, and especially younger guys (like myself :P). Basically, it feels like he’s thinking in Japanese when he’s speaking in Japanese.
Aogu Fujihashi Im latino and would like to learn Japanese any advice how?
This piece deserved double the time.
Every item has a story of it's own some more significant than others. Her tidying methods make the owners reflect on what is important to keep and to discard items that no longer is needed.
He might not think he's cut out for it, but he did a great service to that lady. Look how much she cleared out! And he let her vent , without being impatient. And he speaks Japanese! Well done, sir!
at first it konmari just look like a multilevel thing, but in the end of the video it just something else.
People complaining that this is a scam needs to go visit their friends’/neighbors’/grandparents’ house. I guarantee at least one person they know is a hoarder. Either you are OK with the germs and crap floating around your house. It took me 16 hour to pack and to move out of my apartment, and I’d like it to be less. Who doesn’t like sitting in a soothing place with fresh air and no clutter?
ok i love this guy
i love marie condo !
“I’m a widow, I’ve never been married” 🤔
I think she said she never remarried
Was she rebooting? @1:28
King Khan haha
I have seen so many "rebooting" from Japanese when some black (or white people) speak to them in fluent (or even with Kyoto dialect, in this guy's case) Japanese
I used the method. It works. I think mostly because getting rid of things was easier then putting them back. I love having my home organized. Although I would say I got a bit crazy with it at times, I threw a few things out that I didn't know I needed. I'm paying the price for those things. Unfortunately, but nothing beats how good it feels.
In Japan, especially crowded cities, real estate is very expensive and the spaces are very tight. Marie went popular in Japan because she showed people ways how they can save as much space as they can in their homes with the right methods. It is normal that the Western world doesn't really understand it and call her a cult leader or a scammer since the cultures are very different. I personally don't live in a big apartment, but I watch her from time to time to learn clothing folding techniques etc. because sometimes I have too much stuff.
