For the guy who said about ghosting, that’s HUGE in Korea too. People in Korea who ghost other people, there basically saying it won’t work out or don’t want to talk with you anymore. Some of them don’t like confrontation so they ghost you to avoid that.
@@komea12 I guess. I've never had a problem talking truth and being direct. If you Ghost someone without any explanation, the other person will feel left wondering what did they ever do so wrong, especially if they really tried to make something happen. They'll feel sad and worthless. They'll have to get over it sure. And what goes around comes around.
It would be really interesting to see Asian Boss talking about the descendants of japanese migrants from Brazil that return to Japan. Brazil has the bigest comunity of Japanese descendants outside Japan. And there so many issues to this comunity.
yes would be super interesting! I visited brazil two times and have also been to japan, but I was so surprised to find so many japanese people in brazil and so many sushi restaurants haha would love a video on that topic
yeah we have so many people of japanese descent in Brazil (I myself am a hafu) and a lot of brazilian japanese kids who go to Japan don't have support from the goverment and end up relying on local community schools with teachers who are also brazilians of japanese descent, or not even going to school. And this is not a particular brazilian problem, foreigners in general face this educational issue in Japan

6:00 Blond girl: “Maybe 20 years ago there Were no Americans around to date.” Me,who first came to Japan in ‘88, “ Wow, there must be more foreigners here now than compared to twenty years ago (1968)” We all think that our individual discoveries are unique, but history has a way of repeating itself in odd ways.
I agree. I came here in 1989, and had the same feeling. People I met talked about the good times in the 70s and 80s when you could set up your own English school, etc., but by 1989, there were too many people doing it.

It’s funny how the guy explained about how he got his girlfriend’s dad to open up with alcohol. Mostly because he sounds just like my uncle, who is a stereotypical silent and seemingly unfriendly old Japanese man, but gets really chatty once he gets drunk. It’s unfortunate that it has to take alcohol to have a positive conversation though.
The guy saying “GHOSTING!!” BROTHER I FEEL YOU!!! They sure dislike confrontation and how “aggressive” is to say someone “i don’t like you”, so they just ghost

Let's not pretend like people don't know what I'm talking about
and when you're an asian american, its always the ethnicity they're interested in, rather than the "american" part. at least, thats my experience. you have the face of a local but the mannerisms and mindset of a foreigner. its very confusing. gotta explain my entire life story everytime i meet someone.
Same my experience being an Asian /pacific islander American. For me people in general will they assume things and ask weird questions. But now I m less offend by the questions., And I just politely correct them on what the question they ask because most of the people don't mean to be offensive. I'm still excited about going to Japan with my husband. I m just so glad there are channels like this so I get an idea of what it might be , when we finally get to visit Japan.
Ya this is true. But you really don't have to explain your life story. The confusion comes from the fact that they don't even know white Americans have their origins in Europe. Simply tell them "I'm American" and let that be the end of it. Eventually it will catch on that Americans don't have to look a certain way.
Usually when it comes to talking about cultures theres always something negative or controversial but this topic was wholesome please make more of these 10/10
Yeah Kpop, Kdrama and Korean culture in general are HUGE in Japan. You can easily hear korean songs on the streets and in the shops. Also, many japanese enjoy watching korean dramas on Netflix.
thats why it is a lot easier for korean guy get attention from japanese girl many of 10, 20's girls in japan are so much into all of korean thing - drama music fashion food etc these phenomenon is more prominent in taiwan HK thailand phillipine vietnam etc all of asia korean entertainment is like hollywood in ASIA it is getting deeper and deeper

Apparently being american only means looking white or looking black. As an Asian american, we're always forgotten. Cause in japan, they always feel like if you look asian, you're not american or western enough. I'm getting tired of foreigner meaning looking different.
@@taidenpong2246 I mean obviously. You're in a country where 98% of people are of Asian decent, so of course you wouldn't approach them. When I see a black person, I automatically assume they are an American, in america, because that's what I was raised around. Stop being ignorant about it. Think logically, not emotionally.
@Waldel Martell You may have misunderstood my comment. Asian Boss focuses on Asia so what I'm saying is that they should get the perspectives of other nationalities living in Asia, not just Americans.
@@Sasquatch10 I meant that they should approach other nationalities living in Asia, not just Americans. So we can have multiple perspectives of what it's like to live there.

Do you live in Japan? What's your experience dating there and why should it invalidate his experience? Sorry to say Japan is not a "woke" society and xenophobia is real there
I feel like thats a pretty legit assumption that 5% of the population would only date a foreigner in a country with solely one nationality. As many wouldn't want to date on the basis of cultural values and also language barrier so it makes sense. But, the kinda people that foreigners surround themselves with and generally make friends within these countries where the culture is vastly different from their own are likely going to make friends with locals that fit into this 5% and therefore be more open. Thus, making a synthetic inflation of this number from the observers point of view.
The "5% interested" estimation really strikes home with me. I've been in Japan for about 3 years and have had about the same success rate. However, still better than my at home percentage which is about 0.5%. Lol
that last part is pretty sad ppl still have to remind themselves not everyone is the same. not every gender is the same, not every race/ethnicity is the same, not every nationality is the same.

@@subiebrz2361 I am a female and got ghosted by a male, one day before everything was COMPLETLEY normal, no fight, argument, we never said anything wrong... I have never be so confused in my life.
4:40 it’s because people prefer surrounding themselves with those who are like them. We prefer someone of our own culture, that way we share the same values and principles.
How do you know foreigners won't share the same values and principles though? As a foreigner who has lived in Asia 5 years, I came here bc my values and principles match more with country I'm living in, as do most foreigners who move long term to another country. To me, this is not a culture thing, but more a person by person (case by case) situation. Imo, ppl need to stop judging everyone based on social media and pop culture. Stop seeing color, start seeing humanity.

5:12 similar to Kpop. Thousands of fans would like to marry Korean men because of Korean wave. It's also no different to those who like J-doramas, anime,manga and video games. 6:51 He said it right. Korean wave is now more popular than American popculture.
I wouldn't say more popular but it has been gaining attention. There's this data that shows that K-entertainment consumption has outperformed Hollywood.. but in Southeast Asia only. But again, K-entertainment is currently up there, only second to Hollywood.
@@chickenman2949 Of course. American pop remains number 1. I'm just surprised how easy it is for the U.S to promote Kpop when they could just produce more American music videos and monopolize the internet to remain superior. At first, it gave me cringe when a world-power nation started joining the Kpop hype and play safe with this Asianbaiting.. I mean of course, America is still the home of legendary and iconic artists who started and invented pop on this planet. But with what's happening and the slowly-deteriorating produce of new American artists, it will no longer be shocking if the next generation would see POP as simply "Korean" as that's the first thing the young ones would see on the media. In fact, it's slowly happening now. Some younger delusional fans would claim that BTS choreo is all original when in fact it has 75% Western influences. The kids in my neighborhood would quickly say "Kpop" when they see a sort of fashion that's colorful, stylish and when they hear random auto-tune instrumentals in some gatherings. Seriously, Hollywood needs to wake up.
asianbaiting? get over yourself. just because another country excels at something your country is trailing behind doesn’t make it some weird racial fetishy thing.
i will agree with some saying this is overdone played out content, but i thought (as an American) this was entertaining and still interesting. keep doing what you gotta do to stay afloat asian boss, we need channels like you on the platform!

I agree with the sentiment (ala eyes being windows to the soul, etc)... But no. Watch videos where girls (with great eyes vs whatever eyes) take their masks off. It is way , way , more complex than that. Even a new born baby can tell the difference between acceptable beauty and otherwise, in studies. The whole face matters in attraction determination.
@A J you won't believe how much we do it without realizing it.. Most infants and adults are lip readers and especially as you age when your hearing becomes defective your brain naturally compinsates by reading the lip movements of the person you are communicating with. It's not that the mask muffels the sound as much it's more that we can't read the lips at low volume.

It must be sooo different in the city. I live in Kanazawa so I feel like it’s really hard to date. In fact every guy I’ve ever met here that I’ve gotten along with well lives in Tokyo. I also think it’s much easier for guys than it is for women, especially women of color. AT LEAST from my Kanazawa experience.
kanazawa is an ultra conservative japanese city (in comparison to tokyo) from my experience, sounds like it would be very frustrating for the type of person you described
@@BrickedUpp I’m from America. I wanted to live in Japan because I’m an artist and I wanted the chance to meet and learn from artists in Japan in order to further my career eventually.
Really great interviews! Omg though, the guy talking about all the data he's collected about Japanese people. Like "95% won't date me cuz I'm American!" Um no bro, maybe they won't date you cuz you're weird.
Sorry to say, Japanese people tend not to be "woke". In any ethnically homogenous society there will be some xenophobia that comes with that. Try asking some Japanese folks whether their parents would approve of dating a foreigner, and you'll see this guy isn't wrong.
for the guy at 10:14 I think thats just the women/men trying to not be upfront with them so they dont directly hurt their feelings, and to avoid that sort of conflict they just stop talking to you and hope to probably not talk to you that much at all anymore
As a Japanese , I can imagine that it’s much easier to meet people in a big city like Tokyo. But it would be completely different if you go countryside. It’s gonna be difficult even for me to move and live in a countryside.
I wish Asian Boss would leave the links of their interviewees because I noticed that a lot of the people they've interviewed are youtube personalities and I'd really be interested in looking them up.
The guy at 10:20 talking about ghosting is speaking pure facts 💀 I had that experience quite a lot of times in Japan. I’d go on a great date or have a girl flirt with me one night, then from there on, ghosted 👻
I love your videos, but you should have asked the question most channels don't ask: "What about marriage or long-term relationships?" I've been in Japan for more than 5 years in total and I feel like most people I've met with we're mostly looking for ONS or short-term relationships with marriage in sight (many told me that they only wanted to try doing it or dating with a foreigner).

It’s interesting how all these people have already adopted more of a Japanese tone and pace to their voices than what you would hear the typical American talking like such. Goes to show how malleable we are when we live amongst different cultures than our own
It would also be interesting to see the same stuff but with non-American foreigners living in Japan, to see how other cultural backgrounds mix with Japanese culture.
Hello Asian Boss. This topic covering American experiences in Japan, Korea and China is much better than your previous topic of ‘Why do Americans live in…?’ It was more dynamic and had more energy than your previous topic covering the American in Japan experience. I think your interviewees represented the Japan dating experience fairly well. Dating outside of Tokyo, however, is very different. The language barrier is the biggest challenge. A highly schedule driven (and excessive) work culture is another reason. Many Japanese are conformist and view foreigners as ‘other-worldly’, so they’re either afraid, shy or reluctant to interact with foreigners on even a surface level. For many Japanese, they don’t see it as realistic to even meet a foreigner. This is largely due to lack of access and language and cultural barriers. For those who are surprised by the number of Americans who live in Japan, it is not a large number. There are roughly 50,000 Americans in Japan, a country of 125 million people. A high concentration of Americans live in Tokyo, a city of 36 million people.
If you got game in your country, you’ll have game there. I dated a woman for 2 years who had never even met a non-Japanese before. We still chat now and then, 20 years later. Never had a problem meeting people.
I had no game when I was stationed in Japan and I dated a few Japanese girls. I had to learn game coming back to the states. I was 5'11 and in decent shape because I was in the military, which that could play a role into it, appearance wise. Just in the states, after learning game, just telling a girl she is cute in the states doesn't hold up that much weight compared to telling Japanese women that they are cute.
Well to be fair he specifically referred to Japanese women, which implies he has an appreciation for the culture. Also, attraction doesn't always mean fetish.
I'm Mexican - American from California but I lived in Fukushima for quite some time and have a Japanese wife. Dating in Japan is not much different than anywhere else, just be yourself. The thing I did dislike immensely though was the ghosting.
My roomate who lived in Japan for 4 years just said that "dating in asia as a sub bottom is disapointing" and I'm not actually sure what that means xD Do I even want to know?
This video made me so happy bc I Just watch the video with Koreans dating foreigners and it was so ridiculous that it’s just me out but now you’re in the video about Japan makes me more comfortable and makes me wanna go there even more
About ghosting, I think it also depends on how your personality fits the culture because for me it's the opposite. When I lived in the US, it felt like I would get ghosted everytime I thought I made a new friend, man or woman. People whom I thought were my friends would also frequently stop contacting me. Basically, I don't know how to make/keep friends in the US, lol. However in Japan, it just works naturally. I'm rarely ghosted and friends stay friends.

Japanese bathing culture is definitely something that is a struggle for many Americans 😂 I think most Americans are like "why would I take a bath daily?" and finding out that that is the norm in Japan can be quite shocking. Another thing I learned when I went to college in Japan, is that the Japanese students would always shower at night, and were puzzled about why the Westerners would always shower in the morning. The dorm cleaning ladies came in the morning and it was always weird to us that they would come clean at the most high-traffic time when everyone was getting ready for their day. Once a Japanese friend explained that most people shower at night, it made a lot more sense to me.
people who are considering moving or are currently living in Japan should watch "Tokyo girl". It shows you how their dating culture is and the progression of life there.
Before thinking that foreigners have learned about Japan, please be aware that the knowledge and experience gained may be a very small exception. I have seen people who identify themselves as Japanese connoisseurs show off a number of false beliefs to other foreigners.

It would be really interesting to see Asian Boss talking about the descendants of japanese migrants from Brazil that return to Japan. Brazil has the bigest comunity of Japanese descendants outside Japan. And there so many issues to this comunity.
@asianboss ^^ this is something we would like to watch & know more about
Ohhh..that's going to be some culture shock, I think!
i had no idea about that community in brazil, i would be very interested in a video about that as well
yes would be super interesting!
I visited brazil two times and have also been to japan, but I was so surprised to find so many japanese people in brazil and so many sushi restaurants haha
would love a video on that topic
yeah we have so many people of japanese descent in Brazil (I myself am a hafu) and a lot of brazilian japanese kids who go to Japan don't have support from the goverment and end up relying on local community schools with teachers who are also brazilians of japanese descent, or not even going to school. And this is not a particular brazilian problem, foreigners in general face this educational issue in Japan

I agree. I came here in 1989, and had the same feeling. People I met talked about the good times in the 70s and 80s when you could set up your own English school, etc., but by 1989, there were too many people doing it.

It’s funny how the guy explained about how he got his girlfriend’s dad to open up with alcohol. Mostly because he sounds just like my uncle, who is a stereotypical silent and seemingly unfriendly old Japanese man, but gets really chatty once he gets drunk. It’s unfortunate that it has to take alcohol to have a positive conversation though.
It was the first meeting. I am sure next time, we won't need booze to get him to talk more.

and when you're an asian american, its always the ethnicity they're interested in, rather than the "american" part. at least, thats my experience. you have the face of a local but the mannerisms and mindset of a foreigner. its very confusing. gotta explain my entire life story everytime i meet someone.
felt
Same my experience being an Asian /pacific islander American. For me people in general will they assume things and ask weird questions. But now I m less offend by the questions., And I just politely correct them on what the question they ask because most of the people don't mean to be offensive. I'm still excited about going to Japan with my husband. I m just so glad there are channels like this so I get an idea of what it might be , when we finally get to visit Japan.
Ya this is true. But you really don't have to explain your life story. The confusion comes from the fact that they don't even know white Americans have their origins in Europe. Simply tell them "I'm American" and let that be the end of it. Eventually it will catch on that Americans don't have to look a certain way.

Dating in Japan is like a constant battle between being yourself and playing by their rules.
I think that dude that said only 5% are interested in dating foreigners just looks creepy so he gets turned down a lot. The people he talked to are probably saying they wouldn't date foreigners cuz they think that might give him hope.
@BlueEyed Babe get off ur burner we know it’s u
Do you live in Japan? What's your experience dating there and why should it invalidate his experience? Sorry to say Japan is not a "woke" society and xenophobia is real there
I feel like thats a pretty legit assumption that 5% of the population would only date a foreigner in a country with solely one nationality. As many wouldn't want to date on the basis of cultural values and also language barrier so it makes sense. But, the kinda people that foreigners surround themselves with and generally make friends within these countries where the culture is vastly different from their own are likely going to make friends with locals that fit into this 5% and therefore be more open. Thus, making a synthetic inflation of this number from the observers point of view.
He can probably only date 5% of American women as well so it makes sense
The "5% interested" estimation really strikes home with me. I've been in Japan for about 3 years and have had about the same success rate. However, still better than my at home percentage which is about 0.5%. Lol
that last part is pretty sad ppl still have to remind themselves not everyone is the same. not every gender is the same, not every race/ethnicity is the same, not every nationality is the same.

4:40 it’s because people prefer surrounding themselves with those who are like them. We prefer someone of our own culture, that way we share the same values and principles.
true
Herd Mentality, at least I think that's what it's called.
There's nothing wrong with that though.
How do you know foreigners won't share the same values and principles though? As a foreigner who has lived in Asia 5 years, I came here bc my values and principles match more with country I'm living in, as do most foreigners who move long term to another country. To me, this is not a culture thing, but more a person by person (case by case) situation. Imo, ppl need to stop judging everyone based on social media and pop culture. Stop seeing color, start seeing humanity.
@@rockinchik06 are you in japan?

I wouldn't say more popular but it has been gaining attention. There's this data that shows that K-entertainment consumption has outperformed Hollywood.. but in Southeast Asia only. But again, K-entertainment is currently up there, only second to Hollywood.
@@chickenman2949 Of course. American pop remains number 1. I'm just surprised how easy it is for the U.S to promote Kpop when they could just produce more American music videos and monopolize the internet to remain superior. At first, it gave me cringe when a world-power nation started joining the Kpop hype and play safe with this Asianbaiting.. I mean of course, America is still the home of legendary and iconic artists who started and invented pop on this planet. But with what's happening and the slowly-deteriorating produce of new American artists, it will no longer be shocking if the next generation would see POP as simply "Korean" as that's the first thing the young ones would see on the media. In fact, it's slowly happening now. Some younger delusional fans would claim that BTS choreo is all original when in fact it has 75% Western influences. The kids in my neighborhood would quickly say "Kpop" when they see a sort of fashion that's colorful, stylish and when they hear random auto-tune instrumentals in some gatherings.
Seriously, Hollywood needs to wake up.
asianbaiting? get over yourself. just because another country excels at something your country is trailing behind doesn’t make it some weird racial fetishy thing.

This mask wearing situation has reiterated my believe that 80% of a beautiful face is the eyes.
I agree with the sentiment (ala eyes being windows to the soul, etc)... But no. Watch videos where girls (with great eyes vs whatever eyes) take their masks off. It is way , way , more complex than that. Even a new born baby can tell the difference between acceptable beauty and otherwise, in studies. The whole face matters in attraction determination.
It’s really the existence of the nose that’s the issue. Only my opinion though
I think a smile makes the person. And masks have completely hidden thag
This mask wearing situation has reiterated my belief that we foreigners have big noses lol
@A J you won't believe how much we do it without realizing it.. Most infants and adults are lip readers and especially as you age when your hearing becomes defective your brain naturally compinsates by reading the lip movements of the person you are communicating with. It's not that the mask muffels the sound as much it's more that we can't read the lips at low volume.

Hello Asian Boss. This topic covering American experiences in Japan, Korea and China is much better than your previous topic of ‘Why do Americans live in…?’ It was more dynamic and had more energy than your previous topic covering the American in Japan experience. I think your interviewees represented the Japan dating experience fairly well.
Dating outside of Tokyo, however, is very different. The language barrier is the biggest challenge. A highly schedule driven (and excessive) work culture is another reason. Many Japanese are conformist and view foreigners as ‘other-worldly’, so they’re either afraid, shy or reluctant to interact with foreigners on even a surface level. For many Japanese, they don’t see it as realistic to even meet a foreigner. This is largely due to lack of access and language and cultural barriers.
For those who are surprised by the number of Americans who live in Japan, it is not a large number. There are roughly 50,000 Americans in Japan, a country of 125 million people. A high concentration of Americans live in Tokyo, a city of 36 million people.

I was 5'11 and in decent shape because I was in the military, which that could play a role into it, appearance wise.

My roomate who lived in Japan for 4 years just said that "dating in asia as a sub bottom is disapointing" and I'm not actually sure what that means xD Do I even want to know?
Sub bottom?

Lololololol omg

This video made me so happy bc I Just watch the video with Koreans dating foreigners and it was so ridiculous that it’s just me out but now you’re in the video about Japan makes me more comfortable and makes me wanna go there even more
how about interviewing citizens of different Asian countries for a change? Cambodians, Vietnamese, Malaysians...
About ghosting, I think it also depends on how your personality fits the culture because for me it's the opposite. When I lived in the US, it felt like I would get ghosted everytime I thought I made a new friend, man or woman. People whom I thought were my friends would also frequently stop contacting me. Basically, I don't know how to make/keep friends in the US, lol. However in Japan, it just works naturally. I'm rarely ghosted and friends stay friends.
I think this channel receives money from the United States to advertise them. they just talk about the united states all the time, they wouldn't do it for free.
@@batataebom5077 ???? no they just earn revenue from the videos they make.
That is so true I feel this way also living here in LA
The Japanese girls I dated never ghosted me. I got ghosted more in the States, worst part is they reappear a year later acting like nothing happened. Contacting you wondering why you never kept in touch, but they were the ones that never responded back to your messages,
LoL hahaha I bet when the question came out those individuals became quite awkward hahaha. The one guy was pretty straight forward tho

Now i really want to be friends with Americans. I like it how they express their feelings and tell their opinions on such topics like this.
you talk as if others aren't expressing their feeligns and opinons at all LOL.
You will quickly get tired of us I'm sure 😂 we get sick of ourselves
lol as if yankoids are the only ones capable of expressing their feelings
I think we’re just more comfortable talking about things like this in public. I’m happy to be your American pen pal! I’d love to come visit as host someone. I did that in highschool with an exchange student and went to Italy and it was such a great experience.
@@dickthebirthdayboy2132it’s a matter of directness, openness, and honesty. We don’t have a culture of saving face so people won’t lie or pretend in order to “protect” feelings or reputation.
Loved the people that were interviewed, they had great answers. Nice video!
Japanese bathing culture is definitely something that is a struggle for many Americans 😂 I think most Americans are like "why would I take a bath daily?" and finding out that that is the norm in Japan can be quite shocking. Another thing I learned when I went to college in Japan, is that the Japanese students would always shower at night, and were puzzled about why the Westerners would always shower in the morning. The dorm cleaning ladies came in the morning and it was always weird to us that they would come clean at the most high-traffic time when everyone was getting ready for their day. Once a Japanese friend explained that most people shower at night, it made a lot more sense to me.
Lol the guy who talks about learning things and calling it data made me laugh.
All these people are so cool... Like I would love to go Japan just to meet them
Yes
I've noticed and these people are truly international people, citizens of the globe
people who are considering moving or are currently living in Japan should watch "Tokyo girl". It shows you how their dating culture is and the progression of life there.
Before thinking that foreigners have learned about Japan, please be aware that the knowledge and experience gained may be a very small exception. I have seen people who identify themselves as Japanese connoisseurs show off a number of false beliefs to other foreigners.
Its amazing how most of them have a Japanese accent while speaking english
