Nice explanation! Just curious, what were your reasons for moving to Japan to become salaryman? Feel free to ignore the question if you do not feel comfortable sharing. PS I like the direction this channel is taking which is more about the "reality" including the problems. Looking forward to learning more of the reality.
Yeah! I can answer this. I haven’t mentioned this on my channel yet but I’m half Japanese and moving back to Japan was a way to take back my roots. This doesn’t mean you can’t move here as a non-Japanese person. I have plenty of European and American friends living the Japanese dream. I wanted to move to Japan for the lifestyle and for improving my Japanese as well. As much as it would be great to be a full time TH-camr, I still have to pay the bills so I got a job where I still used my engineering degree (which I enjoy). I lucked out as it’s a great environment personally, so I haven’t experienced the ‘working in Japan sucks’ trope. I also am a workaholic so I may just be built for working in Japan haha. So, it wasn’t moving to Japan to become a Salaryman, but rather becoming a Salaryman was the best choice for me to live the lifestyle I want. As for the channel, as the name states, I want to talk about boring, reality stuff like taxes and the post office, but make it fun for the viewer like you! I will still dabble in tourist focused videos occasionally though, but make them better than the others :)
@@JapanReality Thank you for sharing! I don't even plan to move to Japan (just visiting) but your videos still interest me. They are informative and well-researched (which is rare for the internet). Glad I clicked on that outlet video! Looking forward to more reality checks from you!
Uhm ... konsento comes from Concentric -- as in Concentric plug -- which was an industry term used in some English-speaking countries in the early 20th century, and has stuck around in some pidgin languages.
Yes, that is correct! The usage of concentric plug still exists but the mainstream usage has changed and I can recall maybe 3 people that knew about concentric plug. I’ll make sure to be more thorough when explaining it in video!
0:04 Please don't let truck-kun get you my dude
I look both ways before crossing the road!

Love your humor and editing! Subscribed
Lovely well-made video 🌻
Great video Bradley!
Excellent video Bradley
Good video! Wouldn't mind longer form either!
Thanks for the feedback! The plan was to make this 7 minutes long but after editing it got way lower. Gotta improve my pace and increase the facts!
Good stuff, keep going!
Everywhere else in the world we just call this having a job. Apparently in Japan that is your entire identity
Very nice video!
you are funny. I just subscribed :)
Keep it up
i could get lost in your eyes. you are very handsome and have a pretty good sense of humour. subscribed!
i dont why i just subscribed to your channel ...maybe bcoz i like your content hahaha
Great video. However, I'd prefer if the volume of the music could be lower.
I really appreciate the feedback! I’ll be careful in my next videos.

this is epic
If I get a salary (in Japan) and I’m a woman am I then a salary woman? 🤔
In today’s day and age I’d say so!
Funny 😂
