- Hey guys, hope you are well! I’ll be so happy if you enjoy it and learn something new about what it feels like living in Japan as a Japanese. I know SO many people in the world are fascinated by Japan, Japanese culture and dreaming of living Japan, and… yah living in Japan would be just like you imagined if you’re ”foreigner”, but for Japanese, it’s a total different case as I explained here. (Remember, not all the Japanese feel the same though)
But no matter what, I will always love Japan as a place where all my family & best of the best friends are- It’s my home❤️🇯🇵 Thanks for watching & please SUBSCRIBE for more videos like this!

1. 3:35 extreme collectivism
2. 8:10 hierarchy system
3. 10:35 culture of interference
4. 13:45 not artistically/creatively encouraging
5. 16:12 the perfectionist
c0ntag10n I would like to add: the school system kills the children’s creativity.
but damn, I wish I could draw like the majority of their mangaka!
Nathan Tompson TRUE!!!
6. Maybe she didn't like japan because japanese men probably didn't pay attention to her. That chick is about 4 in japanese standard.
c0ntag10n my thoughts exactly. I am a Chinese living in Hong Kong. I feel like a second class citizen in my own city. There are actually thousands of people here who are dying to leave because of the exact same five points above. The reason why the locals are so receptive to white people is because they represent HOPE. Once I dyed my hair, and presented my friend and i as some kind of visiting gay couple, and the locals could have rolled out the red carpet for us!
Heaven for tourists. Hell for workers.
Exactly!
@ChanoineStraub these white people getting away with "teaching english"
@@eloisel7449 lol
True.You had a good point!!!!
I’m in the hell right now then...
Remember that Japan is great but also has flaws just like every other country. Don't blindly idolize it, there is not a single perfect country in the world.
yeah I don't know about "great"
th-cam.com/video/893L3Vd86Pg/w-d-xo.html. Well watch this then. Apparently you have to fit in with everyone else if you live in Japan.
japan is depressing as fuck. going there for a vacation or something is amazing but living there looks absolute trash. same thing with north korea
Don't go there just because it has fking anime and manga, it isn't worth it
But the cons of Japan is too big comparing with the pros
*_I am a Japanese-Filipino and I lived in Japan from 2005 to 2010. But I decided to come back to Philippines in 2010 for good because I got so lonely living alone in my apartment in Matsusaka. Japan is beautiful but it can get so lonely most of the time because it's not easy to find someone to talk to._*
I a filipino in Philippines, thanks for sharing your experience

I agree
Damn.
Not really I don’t have high expectations of japan even though I like anime of course if I like a country then that doesn’t mean it’s perfect Japan is the same as any other country no country is perfect.🙂

Lajjad lmao, your reply is cringy af
I also hate living here as a Japanese. Conservative, follow majority too much, not open minded(looks like so but not), judging too much, senpai and Kohai relationship is so unhealthy. Sometimes feels like living in a small tiny tiny isolated village which has good technology to live but feels so difficult mentally
うんうん分かるよ 俺もそんな考えで昔アメリカに移住してアメリカの大学卒業してアメリカの企業で働いたんだよ
アメリカでは上司部下関係なく対等でみんな意見を言い合うって信じて上司に意見したら(何口答えしてんだこのJ〇Pは・・・)みたいな顔されてその日のうちに解雇されたよ
アメリカにも糞みたいな上下関係(明文化されてない分日本よりも悪質)はあるし同調圧力もある
何故かこの動画に辿り着きました。私は生粋の日本在住日本人ですし日本も好きです。なので、日本を出たいとは思いません。しかし、あなたのおっしゃる事も良くわかります。規律や世間体が行きすぎると同調圧力になります。そして、我慢するに至りますが、その自己犠牲を尊ぶ文化もあります。そのせいであなたが苦しんだのなら本当に悲しいです。今自由を掴んで自分らしく生きていらっしゃるなら、本当に良かったです！もちろんあなたが日本を全て否定してるわけではなくリスペクトがあるからこその主張と理解してます。
お互い自分を好きでいられる生き方を満喫しましょう！
@wmwmwmmw1890 ここで言う規律って守るべき法律や規則の範疇を超えたものだと思うんだよなぁ。
Im married with a Japanese living here for years. One thing I dont like about Japan is the Senpai and Kouhai relationship. Some might good but most of the time its not healthy. They act like they're God or Kings that they're always right. So is bullying. It will be a never ending cycle if it doesnt stop.

Dang why are the Japanese ppl going so hard in the comments she is criticizing the society in general all you guys are doing is proving her point. Have you ever heard the saying "if the shoe fits wear it" apparently the shoe fits geez. You don't see this kind of reaction when ppl criticize America because we know our society is deeply flawed. You guys act like Japan is above criticism or something. It's not.
Facts
Yeah f*ck the weebs!
Because she won't conform. You know, the points she kept getting through in the video. It's kinda sad to see her be so clearly backed up by the commenters in this way.

Thank you for this. As a JapaneseAmerican I am interested in my grandparents culture and why they may have come over to the US on their own at young ages. I see the need to conform and how that is so restricting to such a free spirit as yourself. So glad to see you express your true being.
A Japanese friend of mine and I were having conversation and I was like,
"I really wanna live in Japan"
and he said
"Japan is a good place to visit only."
And when I stumble upon this video, I now understood why he said it.
depends on person
Everyone says it's bad to work. It's almost like common sense.
Because they only look good to visitors
I agree with you. Of course.
はい
I’m a Brazilian living in Japan. I’ve basically lived my whole life in Japan, and I can really relate to almost everything you said in this video. It’s very stressful and sad that we cannot be “different” here. Even if I’ve lived here (still living) my whole life here, I’m still treated as an outsider and I feel like I don’t belong. I really hope Japanese people can become more open minded and accepting to other culture. ( generally speaking)
I'm brazilian too and I hope so
Dude u can't implement western culture on other cultures people
You know, it’s okay that your diffrent. I mean all of us is DIFFERENT in different ways! They are probably not really used to outsiders because there’s not much of them. I know there are japanease that isn’t really used to it but there are also japanease that doesn’t seem to mind and accept it.
Just come to Australia bro
sam martain why not.. up to her
I am Japanese and I love Japan but after moving to America for the second time, I’ve realized a lot of negatives but also positives. No country is perfect and it will always be hard for foreigner to adjust to another country and their culture :))
What are the pros and cons
As Japanese who is different from typical Japanese, I totally relate to what you said. Japan has a unique culture and its hard to live for someone who has western minded.
True
I'm hafu and grew up Western so whenever I went there, I felt I never fit in and was treated differently. It was the first time I was aware that I was different. Tbh, my opinion but never felt comfortable over there. I don't know if anyone feels that way. Another thing to add, my Japanese side are so super strict on me so I never got that much independence when I went over there during Holidays etc.
Hello. I’m Japanese, but I lived in both Japan and US growing up. I agree with a lot of what you said. It’s hard to live there when you want to live “outside the box” and does not want to follow what everybody does. Wasn’t sure where you are now, but I hope you find a place you feel happy in. I’m sure everyone has one!
Haruna Komuku that’s too true !!
It’s sad everywhere even in France 🇫🇷
It is hard to live anywhere if you dont follow "mainstream", doesnt matter if it is US, EU or JPN

How do u feel about blk people?
George Frazier What does that have to do with the topic?
Japan seems like a great place to visit but not the best place to live in.
Mad dox That's exactly how I feel about Japan (I'm Japanese)
Got to visit and live there yourself to make the judgement
I am sorry you had this experience. The way many Japanese treat southeast Asians is atrocious.
Mad dox
Exactly!
BrightBlue1111 Really. Can you elaborate?
I am a 30 year old Japanese.
I understand what you are saying, I have experienced it, and it is still a situation.
Hierarchy is a respect for older people, but it can also interfere with communication.
In real life, I envy flat communication like English.
I understand the story of the job of making the perfect thing.
Sometimes we do our best, shaving our hearts.
I think the environment in which it is needed is also very difficult.
It may be wonderful to see Japan from one side.
And, of course, it can make your impression worse.
I like Japan. There are many wonderful things. There are many difficult things, but after all the charm of Japan is immeasurable.
Finally, may everyone remain happy and peaceful wherever they are. Of course you too.(Google Translate ← amazing)
*For everyone who dislikes because of idk:*
Japan isn't a paradise. Anime and music videos are ways for Japanese people to express themselves because they have to be like everyone else in their everyday life...which is sad.
Nah, it's business and a bunch of symbolism and propaganda. :P
Sadly, most publishers are in foreign hands, and it shows. Even during dragon ball days they forced them to change their own stories and stuff.
My mother is Japanese. I am an American but have lived in Japan before. I love so many things about Japan but everything you say is true. When you act and behave like everyone else there, you have a much easier time. As my mother once told me, " Hammer the nail that is sticking up". There is no room for individualism or creativity. You put everyone else first and yourself last. In America it is the opposite, and you see the social problems we have here that Japan does not. No where is perfect. I do feel that Japanese people would be happier if they were allowed to Express themselves more. I was sent to go live in Japan with my aunt and her family when I was in high school. My aunt was always making comparisons between my American personality and the Japanese. According to her, Americans had softer hearts but Japanese had more manners. When someone offered me something to drink and I said no, my aunt would tell them not to give it to me because I was American and say the truth up front. In Japan, you never accept the first time your host offers you something to eat or drink It would be impolite. You are expected to refuse at least 3 times before you reluctantly accept. My aunt would sigh and say how refreshing it would be if they could be more direct like the Americans. I think the Japanese do what works for them, but must be very hard to push down your feelings all the time.
That is what makes Japan great.
@@tomaskinoshta7589 Agreed.
Why do you have to say no 3 times?
@@reflexionesdelabiblia6711 just to suffer
@@arindamhansda5493 you know what? now that I remember, my grandma used to tell me that you can refuse 3 times but then have to accept (if it a gift).
Westerners like to praise Japan for being a safe, advanced and clean country (true) and they criticize their own countries for not being the same, but they regularly fail to see that for the average Westerner life in Japan would be unbearable, and that behind that utopian façade there’s a real society facing real issues like the rest. Many things we take for granted in the West don’t come nearly as easy in Japan.
Safe, advanced, clean, and welcoming of foreigners? The country you’re looking for is Singapore.
@@icecreamforcrowhurst I don't think Singapore is a 1st world country.

People came to know
That they are more attracted to anime culture than Japanese culture.
Lol
Obsession is unreal
I rather visit lappland
I like both the modern and traditional sides of Japanese culture I’m so upset that this pandemic postponed my trip there
i wanna go to japan because of their food and just visit. i also wanna meet my japanese mangaka best friend. qwq
Ah yes, anime culture
True, I watch anime and I know this. Japanese is good for tourist but it isn’t good to live there unless you want to be overworked and under paid.
What surprises and disappoints me is that todays’ younger generation such as Azusa is saying the exact the same thing as what many Japanese people who left Japan have been saying for decades. My senpais, who left Japan, say the same thing. They are 10 or 20 years older than I am. I’m 10 or 20 years older than Azusa. My generation, who left Japan, say the same thing. But all the people whom I know and who are still living in Japan never understand what we’re saying, although some of them seem to be able to sense what it would be like to be free.
What she is saying is true for us who have been keeping ourselves from saying what we really think about our own country and culture. Many foreigners who don’t understand what she is saying keep saying that “You are a Japanese and you don’t like Japan??? Whhhhhyyyy???” No. We all like Japan, of course. That’s why it’s hard for us.
One of the reasons is obviously that there’s a huge crack between the Japanese and the foreigners for the view of Japan. Needless to say, the view of the foreingers are something manipulated by media while they don’t know what is the reality. Moreover, the Japanese never share with foreigners what they share with their own people. This is how the wall is kept standing hard and still.
I think not everybody can enjoy thier own culture. This applies to any people, not just Japanese. Any society isn’t perfect and people there are more or less trying to adjust themselves for the crafted standards and to fit in such an artificial thing called “society”. In the case of the Japanese, the social expectation, to fit in, or to submit to, the comparably strict “norm” is very, very high and sometimes harsh enough to make people go psychologically locking themselves in thier mind or having two faces, or in the case of relatively younger people, denying themselves as a result of trying to have a logical consistency in the relationship with their society.
In these situations where people expect the high moral standard to each other and monitor each other for not deviating from the track, it’s fairely difficult to commit yourself in art or what you are passionate about. Simply put, you can’t say what you want to say. How would you expect to have social support for your own ideas, opinions or simply what you’re having fun with, smiling about?
But, all these are a kind of things that the majority of people don’t see, I guess. That’s why many Japanese people, both who left Japan and who are still living in Japan in silence, keep it in their mind, sometimes giving up trusting people and society.
So, bravo for Azusa for publicly addressing this issue. I still don’t think many people understand it. But it’s never good to keep silence.
"I think not everybody can enjoy their own culture. This applies to any people, not just Japanese."
I think that's a very important point. The idea that everyone growing up in a certain country has to like that particular country and its culture doesn't make sense in reality. Every country is different, every country has good and bad sides. And the same is true for people. Often it can happen that people have a personality that fits better to the culture of a different country, so it makes sense for them to move to that country. That doesn't mean their original country is bad however, it just means it wasn't the best fitting culture for them personally.
In my case, I grew up in Germany, and I think Germany is a very beautiful country with many positive aspects. At the same time however, I never fully felt comfortable growing up there, and somehow I never managed to integrate myself into society. The main reason for that is that I simply didn't like or didn't enjoy the culture enough to really want to be a part of it.
Then I discovered and learned about Japanese culture and went to visit Japan, and I found that the way Japanese society works fits my personality a lot better in many ways. This made me actually want to integrate and fit in. As I don't live in Japan yet I cannot say what the result of it will be, but I know that my chances to integrate in Japanese society are higher than those in Germany, for the simple reason that I actually deeply want to integrate and fit in in Japan. It is simply what feels right for me.
Therefore, I think it is perfectly fine to decide against living in your native country. But, that doesn't mean you native country is bad and that you need to hate it. It only means that a different country suits you better.
I agree. Having both positive and negative ideas about one’s own culture helps him/her find a better life. And it shouldn’t mean offending other people.
The word “hate” that Azusa used and people are jumping on is indeed a strong word. It might be too strong. But, on a grand scale, this is more or less happning in many people around the world today. The globalization surely gives an opportunity to review your own country, what are beneficial and what are not, by comparing different cultures.
Migrations have been happening throughout history. People are always seeking better opportunities. Before, it was for financial or political reasons. Today, people are becoming, in addition to just earning money or producing foods, more and more sensitive about mentality or individual peace of mind, ie. more people are talking about individual respect, being offended or not, neglect of animals or the weaks, etc. There’s no wonder that foreigners are talking about the safety or the politeness/kindness of Japanese culture. Likewise, certain Japanese seek their own sense of security in the aspects of another culture that, of course, don’t exist in their own.
The interesting thing is that foreigners don’t see that these safety, politeness and kindness of Japan are only possible with the great effort of the Japanese people. The Japanese are trying so hard, and certain Japanese are suffering, in maintaining these high standards to which foreigners say “Amazing!”. But the truth is that there’s no magic, that nothing is free. The Japanese are paying and giving sacrifices of their career, dream, hope, freedom of speech, human rights that western people normally enjoy, and sometimes, they sacrifice their own life, for what foreigners say “I love Japan!” to.
So, today, we all are starting to discuss about what society really means in terms of today’s sense of individual benefit. Azusa might later find some of the ugly realities that make her good experiences in Canada possible. But she cannot stay in Japan with people who don’t even understand English but only attack her by critisizing her personality on an illogical basis. Then she will compare over and over again the pros and the cons on everything. That’s only possilbe if you leave your old home.
As for Japan, which seems never changing, I’m personally hoping that the foreigners who are becoming Japanese will change Japan so that it balances better in the world community. I think this will inevitably happen in the future. Right now, the Japanese are having more or less mixed feelings about the growing non-Japanese population. The solution for the Japanese, right now, is to draw a line between native Japanese and the people who don’t look like Japanese, and say “It’s OK. He can go home. Because he’s a gaijin. But we all stay and work until 10 o’clock. Right? You don’t have problem, do you? No, we don’t. Of course, not!”
But the population growth, regardless if it’s a work place or on the street, will reach to a point where they have certain influences on the traditional Japanese mind, slowly changing the stiff mind of the Japanese. The Japanese are already starting to learn from foreigners. It’s another Japanese tradition that they tend to want to learn from another countries especially from Western countries. So, as soon as it happens, I think the Japanese will be so quick to adjust and follow the new majority, like nothing ever happened.
Yuta Togashi do you live in Japan now ? Everything you say is true but it's quite dated. The young Japaneses are more different from your generation. I find them more willing to adapt to new things, new ideas. And multiculture is not a solution for Japan. If Japan becomes more individual, it won't be Japan anymore. Drug abuse, gun crimes, racism will get a way to go in. I never think Western society is the way to go. Every country is different, you can't do the same as the Westerners and expect to succeed just like them
ech ping Thanks for making an interesting remark. Actually it's important to give that point an attention. I’ll explain what I mean.
Your guess is right. I’m not living in Japan anymore. I only visit it sometimes. Every time I visit Japan, I do see that my idea towards Japan is becoming outdated in many areas. The younger generation is creating and adapting new ideas. That’s what younger generation does, in any time in history.
But also I can see that it's still there in the fundamental level. That scares me. And I always end up thinking, “OK, that’s it. Enough of Japan.” at the end of my stay. And Azusa's statements have proven that. That’s important for me, and for the ex-Japanese like me. Because we are born as Japanese, had been living as Japanese in Japan.
If it’s as deep as something that belongs to what is implied by the bottom stage of the 3 social stage model of Fernand Braudel, and it probably is, it’s important, for those who are having hard time assimilating to the Japanese society throughout their lives, to consider leaving the country.
Like you say, individualism isn't perfect. A lot of negative sides of it are discussed these days. That may be a part of the reasons why Western people are interested in living in Japanese society.
As I said before, no system is perfect. So what I’m saying is that I hope Japan will balance a little bit by minimizing the extreme side. I’m not saying Western people are bringing individualism and its problems into Japanese society. The bright side of this migration trend is that these foreigners, I hope, are fond of non-Western aspects of Japanese society and actually are willing to understand and practice these Japanese ways.
So, as I discussed with TomMRF, and on agreeing to what you say as “Every country is different”, I say, “Leave your country if it doesn’t offer you what you need. Leave it right now if it makes you suffer. What are you waiting for?” and “Just don’t bring bad things from your old culture to your new home. Bring what you can bring is beneficial for the people there.”
Yuta Togashi you said everything I wanted to say✌🏼

音大や芸大あとは服飾関係とか変わった人が多いというイメージがありますしオタク文化とか多数派とは言えない人もそれなりに楽しく暮らせる国だとは思いますが、環境の違いと言えばそれまでだけど、これだけ沢山の人が同意しているので全体としては抑圧的な傾向があるのでしょう。
特に教育機関ではGHQの公職追放によって学校が共産主義・社会主義に染められてしまった影響が未だに残っているのではないかと思います。彼らは自分たちの思想に洗脳しようとするので多様性の敵でしかない。そういう学校で育った不寛容な人たちが社会にある程度存在するのが今の日本で、似非フェミニストのような考えを押し付ける多様性とは真逆な行動をとるようになったりしてるのではと思います。

You have a very strong and respectable character and i love how free you speak your mind while being polite .

I spent almost ten years in Japan and I reached the conclusion that it was much easier to be a foreigner there than a Japanese. I remember at a company late at night where the employees were still there. I asked why. They said the boss was still there. I asked when work had finished. It had finished long ago. I asked what happens if you leave then. They said nothing. I again asked why they were still there. I have never wasted my time worrying about what other people think of my way living life.
Scott Oh foreign baseball players playing in Japan might be feeling the same

I’m Vietnamese living in Japan. It’s been more than 4 years I’m living here. I can see what you said in this video is totally true.
I thought that it will change in the near future but it’s not changing anything. As 外国人, they treated me really nice in the beginning but time after time, they treat me like “you’ve been Japan for long time so you have to accept it. You have to do things like Japanese...”.
It’s really exhausted in working in Japan. I was thinking of taking long-term visa in Japan but I give up. I’m feeling that I’m losing myself here 😔
If you don't like it go back to Vietnam.
Tomas Kinoshta thank you for your advice. Of course, going back home is always the best 👍🏻
Sorry to hear that.

I live in Japan as a foreigner with my Japanese wife whom I met in Canada. Everything she said in the video is true, in my opinion and experiences in Japan. Those 5k dislikes are from anime/hentai/Japan lovers who never ever set foot in Japan. (edited to make my comment less aggressive)
Agreed lol
La de da. Join the ranks of thousands of others who think that just because they live in Japan that they know everything about Japan. Chances are you don't speak Japanese fluently, haven't gone through the Japanese education system, can't get a regular job in Japan, etc., etc. Think of back in your home country and some immigrant who can't even speak the language properly is going on about how he knows said country so much just because he lives there.

最初から最後まで拝見しました。で、思ったのは最初にAzusaさんは「一般的な」見解って仰ってますがどっちかって言うと「個人的な」見解に見受けられました。「一般的に」って言っちゃうとどうしても反論したくなるのが人情だと思うので最初からAzusaさんの意見として問題提起したら攻撃もされなかったんじゃないかなと思います。
私は日本人の方々からのコメントがAzusaさんが個性的だから、人とは違うから否定しているのではなくて（一部の人はむやみに攻撃的かもしれないけど）「一般的に」と表すことでそれに当てはまらない人が「自分は違う意見を持っている」と主張してるだけではないかと思いました。

It got worse during the middle ages when the shoguns ruled. Christianity was making inroads and lots of Japanese were converting but the xenophobic military government banned it and forced everyone who'd converted to disavow Christianity on the threat of death. That's why they never experienced the rise of individualism that Protestant Christianity promoted.
@Don Boss
To a degree it does, yes. However, until Martin Luther the basic attitude for Catholics was, "Go along with whatever the pope, bishops and other clergy say, don't question them!" It wasn't until Protestantism came along that the idea of "individualism" really developed to a much greater extent.
That's called tall poppy syndrome

私も少し前までは日本なんて出て海外で暮らしたいと思っていました。しかしそれは、その時に置かれていた自分の環境から逃避していたのだと今になって思います。自分の環境に不満があるから日本は自分に合わない、というのは論理が飛躍した思い込みでした。今は周りの環境が変わったことによって、また、日本のコンテンツ（本やドラマ）に興味を持ったことによって、日本を誇らしく思うようになりました。少し前までは洋画や洋楽しか聴かなかったのに、自分でも信じられないです。私は、日本人の思慮深いところや、周りの人に気遣いをできるところが好きです。そんな日本の良いところを自分も体現できたらいいなと思います。勿論、海外の方が住みやすいという方もいらっしゃると思うので、それは人それぞれですが、自分の環境＝日本の基準とは思わない方がいいのかなと思いました。そしてそれを英語で発信することで、世界中の方の日本への印象が変わりうるということを念頭において、言葉を慎重に選んで動画で伝えて欲しいなと思いました。

Alot of salty Japanese criticising her because she has the courage to speak up about things she doesn't like about her birth country, typical hierarchy mindset. Im Australian and their are things i like about it and things i don't, the difference is i have the right to speak out against the problems my country has, unfortunately the Japanese dont get that opportunity because of their insular cultural mindset, as a foreigner Japan has alot of good things and as a tourist I enjoy visiting each year to see Jpop idol concerts and Akibahara, But Japan is not the perfect Paradise everyone thinks it is.
it depends on how you think, it's always 'MIND OVER MATTER' that is the secret
Is it really "courage" that she is "speaking up", or just babbling ignorance? A country with the density of Japan that can manage its resources and as well as their population and succeed as leader in the world market is remarkable, especially rising from the destruction of WWII. She sounds like the person who goes to the theater and complains the movie was bad because her popcorn was cold!!
Isn't movie popcorn always cold?
norm I i agree. Seeing young people don't appreciate their homeland make me sick
Japanese have issues handling any sort of criticism or any negativity

だから、日本の仕事とかで大変な人達には申し訳ない気持ちだったり色々持つけど、本当に感謝でしかない。

Living in Japan for 3 years, each and every word is so true and to the point
I love that you explain that those things can cause positives and negatives. I think the issue is, everything should be in a balance and when something is too extreme it gets unhealthy. And I think it’s visible that this is your point. Society and the individual should be balanced. Thinking of all but as well the individual. The first law in my country is “the dignity of an individual person is inviolable”. And I have the impression Japan’s culture is far from that, sadly.
I see this all the time with my Japanese expat friends. With me they are more free to express themselves but they completely change once around other Japanese people
Wow :/
I have been living in Japan for over 11 years; moved here after high school. I could attest that everything she is saying true. Back when I was in uni, I was constantly told 郷に入っては郷に従え( Do in Rome as Romans do). You can only survive in Japan if you either hangout in expat circles or throw away your individuality and blend in . Also the point about being nosy so true; it's was really awkward to see Japanese colleagues openly sharing details of their love life. I would say that if you are coming to live in Japan, always have a backup plan to score a job in some other country.
I am a former Japanese citizen/now US citizen living in Midwest. Everything you said about Japan/Japanese actually applies to America/Americans at least where I live. I think that’s very reasonable. At least Japan gave you a chance to live in the country, which you should appreciate. If you are not so happy where you live as a foreigner, you are free to leave there. If you cannot follow the local norm, you are not great fit there. Find somewhere else you would feel comfortable.
@@Yasco-de-Jp Why should I appreciate it. I got here based on my talents and skills. And objectively speaking, every foreigner I have met in Japan literally had the same experience as me. Every expat I know wants to leave Japan but is stuck. As for me, I am back in the UK. だから、物事を客観的に見て考えなさい！

I live in Midwest USA and used to get that often from my local Americans while I was a foreigner permanent resident, which was kind of understanding to me. Once I obtained my US citizenship, most Americans around me started treating me in my favor. The modern rule of law says each country is for its citizens, not foreigners. If foreigners don’t like where they live, just leave there.
Japanese criteria of ‘wrong’ or ‘unethical’ are too strict and too narrow. It’s too much for ordinary Japanese people.

私も若い時は同じように考えていました。だから言いたいことよくわかります。
でも実際アメリカで10年生活して、昨年帰国しましたが、教育に関して言えば、アメリカの先生の方がよほど立場は強くて絶対服従でしたし、白人至上主義もありましたし、日本の方が言ったら言った分だけ意見は通りやすいですよ。これは、昔との随分な変化に驚かされることばかりです。
それに、独身時代と違って実際結婚して子育てして社会の中に入っていってみると、日本がいかに住みやすく素晴らしい国かが、よく見えてきますよ。
年をとると、規則ひとつみても、物事の本質が見えてくるものです。
でも、日本人にはもっと海外に一度は出て行ってもらいたいなぁっていう風には思います。
正直若さ故の意見だなぁっては思いましたが、それも良しです。色んな経験をして今後もがんばって下さいね！
We love Dora ほんと今の日本は主張した物勝ちですよ！私は昔を知らないですけど今現在日本で働いていてそう思います。主張する人が面倒臭いから受け入れるっていうこれまたおいっ！って思う部分もありますけどね。
若さ故ってほんとくそ余計なお世話な言葉だと思いますよ
おばさんおじさんの悪い癖ですね
私もマスクメロンさんに同意です。アメリカに10年も暮らして日本の方がいいとか言うんだったら、最初から住まなければいいと思う。アメリカに住みたくても住まない人はわんさかいてるんだから、代わってあげたら？って思うわ。
一応誤解のないように返信させていただきますね。
まず、私はアメリカが嫌いではないです。
日本への帰国は家庭の事情でしたが、子供達にとってアメリカは、生まれ育った故郷でもあり、もっと大きくなった時、本人が望めば戻りたかったらいつでも戻っても良いとも言ってあります。
そもそもどの国にも良い所や問題点はあるわけで、どの国を選択するかは個人の自由です。子供の教育をこちらで受けさせたかったり、仕事の事情でアメリカでの生活を選択している人達はいます。
ただし、日本を"Hate"して生活しているという人達は、少なくとも私の周りには居ませんでした。
"Better"とか"Prefer to"とかならわかるのですが、"Hate"という言葉には違和感を感じずにはいられません。
"若さ故に"という言葉は、確かに語弊がある強い言葉だったかもしれないですね。申し訳ないです。
私は決して若い世代を否定してはいません。むしろ私達の時よりもより自分の意見をしっかり持って堂々としていると一目置いている位です。
ただし、この問題に関しては、もう少し色んな事を経験して、その上で10年後、20年後に価値観の違いを感じて欲しいと願っています。
日本は決して"Hate"に値する国ではない筈です。
あなたが日本が好きで、素晴らしい国だと思っているのはいいと思います。自由ですから。
でも「10年後、20年後に価値観の違いを～」ってみんなが年を取れば同じ価値観になるという考えの元での発言ですよね。個々で価値観は違いますし、あなたが住みやすいと思うように、何年たっても日本が住みにくいと思う人だっていますよ。
「経験不足」や「若さ故」ではないです。
留学生です。でもアメリカに憧れがあって来たというわけではなくある特定のアメリカでしか勉強できない分野を勉強したいというもっと意義のある理由でアメリカに来ました。
正直なところ、アメリカも日本もあなたが語るところに大きな差はありません。アメリカの方がオープンだとか、出る杭は打たれるみたいな習慣がないから生きやすいというのは、アメリカに対するなんの根拠のない憧れから来るものだと思います。あっても微々たるものです。彼らの憧れがその微々たる違いを彼らの中でまるで大きな差のように変えてるような気がします。
タトゥーなどは確かに日本よりはオープンですが、アメリカの上流階級やインテリ層では好まれていませんし、仮にそういう一家の息子が入れれば勘当されかねません。アメリカでもタトゥーは、やんちゃしてる人間が入れるという印象があります。
スカートの問題はup主がアメリカをよく知らないとしか思えません。なぜアメリカ人女性はジーンズばかりを着てスカートを着ないか知らないんですか？下半身の下着が見えてしまうような卑猥な服は着ない方がいいという共通の暗黙の了解があるからです。だからアメリカ人が日本に来て、日本人女学生のスカートの短さに驚くのです。そしてスカートを履くことで他人と別になるということをアメリカ人は本能的に避けています。同調圧力とも言えます。これはup主が日本を出てきた理由と何が違うのでしょうか。アメリカも日本と同じで、他人の目を気にする文化があるし、それは決して日本と比べて弱いものではありません。
つまるところ日本とアメリカは、いわゆる精神面などにあなた方が期待してるような違いはありません。
あとヒエラルキーに関して言えば、アメリカの方がひどいと言わざるを得ません。日本の場合ほぼ単一民族のため、学力やある秀ているものがあれば上に上がれます。アメリカは人種というネックが未だに問題になって来ます。
アメリカでアジア人が一番知能が高く、試験の点数が高いのにも関わらず、彼らはハーバード大学には中々入れません。アメリカにも学歴主義がありハーバード大学の卒業者は官僚などアメリカで影響力を持つ可能性が高いです。放っておけば、アメリカはアジア系に取って代わられるのは危険だということで、人種差別撤廃の名目で、一番試験の成績が悪い黒人(差別で言ってるのではありません。数字です)には点数が低くても入りやすく、アジア人には一番高い点数が必要で、白人は普通の今までの点で入れるようにしたのです。全ては、白人優位をアメリカで保つためです。
南カリフォルニア大学を卒業した中西長谷雄という作曲家も、力があるにも関わらず、師事していた先生から「君は白人ではないからアメリカで出世は厳しいだろう」と宣告されています。
アメリカに来て住みやすくなったというなら、それは確実にメディアによって植えつけられたアメリカへの憧れか、英語の壁などによる周りの環境を正しく把握できてないことによるものだと思います。蓋を開けてみれば、マイノリティで生きること、それは日本にいた時と比べると明らかにマイナスでしかありません。
きちんとした洞察力のある、メディアに侵略されてない人は、こんな理由でアメリカに住み始めたりしません。
これだけ英語が出来るのに、アメリカでアジア人が白人から疎外されてるのも知らないのは、「若い女」だったからですかね。
若くても男だったら、よっぽど何かないと白人は相手にしてくれません。
だとしたら、カウンターパンチ喰らうのも直ぐだと思う。
その時になって気づいてから動画削除すんじゃなくて、今すぐ削除して欲しいな。憎悪は連鎖し広がるから。

I was born in Japan , have lived in the US for over 35 years and only recently got the US citizenship after a long thought. I am more comfortable in the US than in Japan, because we are given more breathing space here.
I first felt it when my 3-year old child was enrolled in a preschool. I saw some children annoying others and a teacher told them to “leave him/her alone”. I was kind of impressed by this simple statement. In the same situation in a Japanese kindergarten, a teacher would tell the kids to “be nice to each other and play together.”
Some might prefer being in a tightly knitted society which makes them feel comfortably snuggled and safe, whereas others feel it suffocating. For me, Japan has too many unwritten rules and restraints to maintain the so-called harmony, which foreigners may not be able to detect.
Do you know the US is coming to an end?

Wow Azusa this is quite insightful. I never imagined Japan is like this. I had a very short stay in Tokyo in 2008. It was quite an interesting and amusing experience. Your vlog is a 360 degree u turn on my imaginary perception of the Japanese society and culture. One thing I did appreciate is the public infrastructures it's amazing, as a foreigner if you look lost and can't find your direction to your destination Japanese people are quite helpful and usually proactively will make effort to help you if they speak English. Also I always felt safe going out at night there. Using the vending machine to order food was a very strange concept for me in Tokyo back then lol 😁 . Definitely would like to visit again but based on what you said I couldn't live there because I am quite independent and a free thinker who will question rules and policies if it doesn't seem right. So I will quickly get in trouble with the hierarchy structure rules there 😅😂🤣
By the way, don't let all those haters below get to you. Criticizing cultures and pointing out problems doesn't make you a traitor. Nationalistic people need to learn to understand that culture is meant to serve the people, people ar not meant to blindly serve archaic cultural aspects that do more harm than good. Its possible to be respectful and still pursue personal happiness.
I wish I could upvote this a thousand times. All those people grumbling in the comments are so childish.
Yah definitely. Unfortunately many people from my country don’t really know how to discuss over something or share others’ opinions calmly & logically, because they don’t get used to accept ‘different’ points of view, just like you can see here in this comment section.😛 Thanks for watching❤️
Ugh, tell me about it, I'm an American. We have the same problem in different shades. Our peoples both have trouble looking at their beliefs critically. Everyone wants to prove their stick is bigger.
Have you actually... read the comments in japanese?
None of those people called her a traitor. She said this is bad. People say no thats wrong (or thats even worse in some countires, etc) and its suddenly the comment section is in the wrong.
No wonder Azusa cant have a logical calm conversation with people in Japan??
I feel its inaccurate for you to accuse me of not being calm and logical while writing this, I assure you, if you read my comment as hostile or 'shouty', I did not feel that way while writing it... perhaps that more reflects your idea of how people write comments online?
This video is about personal experience, we all experience things differently. Its not about wrong or right. It's about telling personal truths. I wanted to tell the creator that I felt similarly.
At the time I wrote the original post, I was sitting with a Japanese friend here in China who came to study Mandarin. I'm conversational in Japanese, but reading kanji isn't something I'm so strong in. My friend was reading stuff out to me and the two of us had a conversation about this topic, which prompted me to write a response to give support to this youtuber, because I thought it was quite brave of her to speak about this topic in such a public manner. I have witnessed Japnese people get very offended when I or my friends say things like this youtuber said.
Yes the comment section never used the word traitor, however, my friend here in China has been called that many times (by family members) for expressing anything remotely negative about life in Japan relating to culture. Her family feels that she is betraying her country by making such comments. And I have heard that sentiment mirrored by others in my presence. I never called out anyone in the comments section for using the word traitor.
Anway, I hope you have a good day.
By visiting Japan, I definitely noticed these issues. Barely anyone stands out and it’s concerning. One thing that really makes me feel uncomfortable is how they’re never really direct with you. I have friends living there. Don’t get me wrong, they are great people, but I’m someone that likes to hear the truth even though it hurts, and sometimes I fear that I may be doing something wrong and they don’t want to tell me.
Edit: I was definitely experiencing a culture shock here, and probably things I’m not used to. Fortunately that isn’t the case anymore.
Well, it’s pretty much the same in UK, whilst in the US people generally are straightforward.
People are not straight forward so as to not hurt your feelings , not everyone is resistant to insults you know , so people won’t say l things directly
Omg I have the same issue. I have friends in Japan and whenever we met up etc we never had real or raw conversations. I feel like they can't be critical or speak up. I always asked their opinions for what to wear etc and they said it was all cute. I need people who are real with me and direct.
This comment is two years old. Fortunately these friends I talked about here are now some of my close friends. Although I still encounter this issue with many international students I meet.
@@misschloe3678 You won`t get that from a Japan Japanese person communicating with you because they are taught in schools to engage in indecisive argumentation in their writing. They will write about their thought processes but will not provide a definitive stance. If you want your children to be critical thinkers, Japan is not the place. But if you want your kids to be human robots that are scripted to say nice things only as manner and harmony overides truth, Japan works. This is not a culture that values truth. It is a culture that values blind harmony for the sake of blind harmony. It is a culture that values rules for the sake of it. If you look at how Japanese people who are often considered polite behavior during rush hour, you will understand what I mean. Pushing others vigorously is normal in Japan during rush hours. It is wrong but it is tolerated for the sake of blind harmony. You will see how rampant alcohol abuse is here and you will see how rampant pornorgraphy and soft pornography in convenience stores and public masturbation cubicles at train stations for Japanese men are here. These two are normalised among others. Most Japanese people are insular compared to any other progressive people in this century. Japan is behind in terms of quality education. It is extremely hierarchical to the point, age differences decides how you talk or be friends with someone. All these matters are consider normal in Japan. So if you are 40 years old, you can forget about making friends with someone older or younger than you. That`s sad because it`s a myopic concept in the 21st century. And it`s part of the Japanese culture and mindset. Japan is fast asleep while the rest of the world`s youth can interact with one another. In Japan, educational inequality means only its elites get a quality education. Today`s Japan is what Marx predicted.
You are such a starseed love. To live in a country where being different is taboo and you still said F that I’m being me, that is a huge accomplishment in life.

「生徒を手なずけ奴隷のように大人しくさせよう。」という考えの人はほとんど居ないと思います。
あくまで、学校は勉強をし、社会へ出る準備をする場です。校則なんて理不尽なルールだ！と反発したくなるかもしれませんが、それに耐えることも1つの練習なのではと考えています。ましてや、高校になると生徒総会という生徒からの校則に対する意見・要望を聞く場もあります。
教育者も頭ごなしに叱っているわけではなく、生徒ひとりひとりが縛りのある社会に順応できるように指導させてもらっています。中には何回も噛み砕いた説明をしても｢うざい、きもい｣等の言葉も返され悲しくなりますが（笑）
生徒たちには日本という縛りの多い社会に少しでも対応できる力を身につけて欲しいです^^
その縛る縄は奴隷を縛る縄ですな（笑）理不尽に慣れて理不尽を受け入れる耐性を整える。日本で人を人として扱うことは未だに難しいことである
this harsh critics here listen up, she express her opinion , so be little more broadminded and accept it..she is not talking down on the country or culture ,she is saying it didnt work for her!!! she find place where she is happy, ...and I wish her all the best...
The hate she gets from other Japanese people for speaking her mind really proves her point, doesn't it?
It just works reaaaally
I always thought I'd like to live in Japan. Guess I'll just stick to the anime. hah
Yeah I love watching Anime a lot and I was dreaming to study there or even work but I know from my button of my heart it will be hell for me as a non japanes native...real is not the same as anime 💔
@@doniamustafa8667 Yeah, I know it isn't the same. But a lot of their culture comes thru in those shows. Paying attention to detail you can actually learn quite a bit. Like the food they eat, the design of the houses they live in (notice how the interior is really spot on) and cultural practices (like when they depict festivals etc) But the over the top behavior is obviously not how they really act. It is a cartoon after all. (and yes, I said cartoon. LOL)
same lol
Anime? Japan is much more exciting than its in anime. But its not perfect.
@@nippon2003 I'm sure you are right. It is not exactly the same, as it is a cartoon after all. Every country has it issues. People, no matter where they live, are fallible. I've learned quite a bit just doing real research online. But I would like to have an actual visit some day. But from what this gal says, to actually live there would be a different story. I have had some experience overseas however. I was stationed in Germany, twice (Army). Visited many countries. This was before the Muslim invasion. It was quite nice. Really enjoyed myself touring around Europe. But I've yet to visit any Asian countries.
Your English is terrific! This alone is powerful!
自分の理想に合う完璧な国など無いってことですね。どの国にも良さはあるけど悪い所もある。少なくとも自分にとっては日本ほど住みやすい国はありませんでした。
初めて動画みました。私はアメリカに住んでるけど、海外に住んで逆に日本が素晴らしいと思いました。タトゥーもピアスもあるし、髪もバズカットしてるけど日本に旅行に行ったとき何も偏見な目なんてありませんでした。今は日本もだいぶ変わってきたとおもうけどな。アメリカにだってタトゥー嫌な人とかもいるしタトゥー入ってたら隠して働かないといけない場所もあるしあまり日本と変わらないと思うけど。
I was born and raised in Japan. I really love Japan but for some reasons currently I live in Australia. when I look at Japan from outside and look at Australia from inside, I realised that no country is perfect. Japan has both positive side and negative side. Australia and Canada, too. I disagree with your opinion but I can agree with some part of your opinions such as perfectionist. but it has both advantages and disadvantages like you said.
pls do not forget "when you are in Roma, do as Romans do" wherever you like to live.
Anyway, if you think you found the place where you feel confortable to live in, congrats!
as a foreigner living in japan, i think the first one is true to me. like fore example, japanese want to learn english(so actually they want new things) but they want to do it in the japanese way, which is talking only that is why i usually hear them say "英語で話したい”。at first, i feel admired and want to participate when they tell me that but later on, when i said they should read books and newspapers in english, they don't like it. they would then avoid me. sorry but english revolves in reading, and a person that can't read is called "illiterate" which is equivalent to stupid in the western world. ask your friends in australia. and i think this is why japanese can't speak english even after they learn all the grammar. they do not want to read, they just want to talk. so if they say "when in rome, do as romans do".... it should also be that "when you speak english, learn it as english do"..... you want an example? go to the philippines, their newspapers are in english, they even american newspapers, and when i went to their cinema theater to watch avengers last year, they just watch it as it is, not translated. i have filipino friends who would request me for a game of throne season and they want those with english subtitles on it. they also watch anime with english subtitles.
Fuck off, bootlicker

just away Excuse you? Just because they don't want to take your advice doesn't mean they don't want to learn English. You can learn to speak a language without reading. You really thought this video gave you permission to be rude towards Japanese

Thanks, Azusa for your comments about life in Japan. I was especially taken by your comments about foreigners in Japan never being fully accepted into Japanese culture. I have to say though that it may be because of your chosen career as an artist which lends itself to a solitary temperament that is essential for the creative spirit.
I am Japanese American and I feel like a foreigner most of the time in my own country! That is, I feel the same way as a foreigner would trying to live in Japan. Does that make sense?
In any case, keep on with your commentary.
I'm also Japanese, born and raised in Japan. 30 years ago, The middle school and high school were like prison for me. So many rules and strict disciplines and punishments. I always love music and arts. interested in film industry especially dark controversy taboo horror sexual disturbing stuff. I was a puck rocker playing drums in all girls band. I had colored hair, wearing ripped homemade clothes. I was just 15yrs old expressive individual and I enjoyed the attentions from society lol. obv I dropped out high school, worked in night club for 6 months, and moved to America. Being different wasn't acceptable in the society(school, work places) back then. I'm little surprised to know that things haven't changed much in 30 years. I love my country but it was the same exact reasons that i needed to relocate myself to live freely and be able to express myself.
The creative Japanese that's most needed are leaving,,, very sad
I went to technical college in ibaraki its was like a hell .
makeupmadness Thanks for sharing such an interesting & exciting life story of yours! 😊
Azusa Oga 😉
Hmh. Interesting. I guess some people just need outside attention?
I'm plenty different from most people, love music and art too; as you would see if you were in my apartment. But I don't use my body as a billboard to show "LOOK AT ME I'M DIFFERENT, PLEASE GIVE ME ATTENTION". To the outside, if I'm not saying anything, I look like a normal person. I might have some small irregular things, like a T-Shirt that just looks generic, but actually has more of a meaning behind it, or the fact that I as a 24 year old dude have a little cutesy Xiaolongbao keychain on my backpack. I also play in a metal band. But, I don't need to dress myself up like a peacock to show everybody "how different I am". I don't need that attention. I don't want that attention. I only want to stick out when I *want* to, by what I'm *doing*, not because I look like someone sharted out a rainbow.
僕は日本に住んでいた事があるイラン人として大分にあずささんが言ってたことと反対してます。ただ、結構オープンマインドで様々な意見か価値観を伺います！日本は完璧とか天国ではなく欠点があり不思議じゃないと思います。しかし、ちゃんと調べると日本の良さはほぼ日本に限るけど悪いところは日本に限らずである事を気づきます！しかも、個人的な経験は日本のような国の真に紹介するって意味がないと思います。
As a Japanese person raised in the US, sometimes the stuff considered normal here unnerves me. Shuukatsu is the most recent one I was shocked at, but then there’s the really creepy stuff like idol culture. As someone who is Autistic I’m really not looking forward to many things about going into society.
And yeah, Japan has this really weird cultural conservatism where foreign stuff is lapped up but organic, truly Japanese change doesn’t take root.
And we’re also so weird with privacy. Sometimes it’s as you said but when it comes to important issues there’s this really strong “none of my business” apathy.
Don’t get me wrong, I love this country, but it has many flaws.
@@missplainjane3905 ん？
日本人証明しろとでも言うのかい？
@@missplainjane3905 Because you were doubting my Japanese cred, mate.
You think I “just visited”, eh?
@@missplainjane3905 Huh? I thought I replied. Sorry.
It’s just that the way you worded your comment sounded like you were doubting me being Japanese.
I was Japanese-American, I currently live in Japan.
@@missplainjane3905 It was night. It was almost time I went to sleep. Time zones exist.
I haven’t been to all prefectures, no. There’s 47 of them.
I still have American nationality, though by Japanese rules it doesn’t exist.
@@missplainjane3905 Just because I’ve lived here for 10 years doesn’t mean I’ve been to literally all 47 prefectures. What kind of logic is that?
Have lived in Japan for 15 years and seen it all, both the good and the bad. I think #5 gets to me the most. I'm naturally a perfectionist myself, and Japan brings that out of me in unhealthy levels. In my home country I'd have people around me telling me to chill out, but not here. The worst was when I needed an emergency appendectomy and the company I worked for was annoyed at me for taking time off. For years, I had panic attacks every time I needed to call in sick. Being self-employed is the way to go, I've learned. I'm poorer now but my mental health is better. Despite the negatives, I do like living here. My home country has negatives, too. I just try to focus on the positives and if one day I can no longer do that, I'll go home. I've met a lot of amazing people here, and I hope Japan can one day become more accommodating to its own folks who don't fit the mold.
Where are you from? I hope you go your home country safely
nobody needs appendectomy. But was your company a "black" one? My friend is currently working at one, and it sounds similar. (with the addition of bugging him because he doesn't accept blame when the others [higher ups] fuck up)
I'm Japanese and live in Japanese still now.
What you say is right. I think so. Especially about divercity.
But the environment is getting better little by lttle then before.
Society is about to make atmosphere to accept to divercity.
On the other side, honestly there's still the BAD and old custom.
I'm learning English now.
I wanna be who speaking frequently like you:)
Thanks for your intesting video.
Good job with your English, it's really good! I'm sure you have improved even more since writing this comment :)
It's nice to hear that the attitudes towards foreigners are improving. I hope that Japan can keep moving away from its negative aspects because it also has so many good aspects! 二年から日本語を勉強して来ました🤗頑張りましょうね！
It's 'diversity' not 'divercity'
it's surprising how many Japanese people went against her. but at the same time this is her point.
I am Japanese.
I am so proud of her sharing her opinion as an individual. But why do people have to criticize her to prove how she's "wrong"?
She is only sharing her negative thoughts/experiences of Japan. meaning, there are positive thoughts but in THIS video she is here to share the negative sides.
I am actually the one of people who's got a similar point of view towards Japanese culture so I know I'm biased, but this just shows how closed minded Japanese people can be in the comments.
Azusaさんはすごく根がまじめで、まっすぐな方なんだと思います。日本は歴史も長く、いい意味でも悪い意味でも根が深いですよね。私はAzusaさんの意見同感です。いつか日本の人口減少に伴い外国人の人が増え、multi cultureが広がるにつれ今まであった「伝統的な日本文化」が薄れてくる時に色々と変わってくるでしょうが、日本の悪い一面が解消されるのと同時に日本の良さも失われていくのかと思うと残念です。
ちょうどいい中間で収まってくれたら最高なんですが。
Owlie S I enjoyed watching this video. I think she looks beautiful and even enjoyed her “look” with the dyed hair and all. Having travelled a lot to Japan, Korea, and even mainland China for business, I always thought the japanese were generally polite but very robotic. I used to call it the “borg mentality” from Star Trek where the collective overrules anything individual or different. Koreans on the other hand are much more expressive/passionate/open while the mainland Chinese don’t really seem to care about what you think. It is my opinion that due to Japan’s tremendous societal pressures to conform we often see outlandish over the top efforts to rebel and be different. You can see a bit of this when visiting areas such as harajuku where you will see people dying to be different and not conform. I think it’s good that those rebels/individuals have a way to express themselves and just be them. I have noticed an uptick in racism/nationalism/closed mindedness in Japan lately and that might pose a threat to the free sprits though. I have often wondered if the pressure to fit in/conflict avoidance is the root cause for such anger/hate/racism on the internet by Japanese netizens when behind closed doors and out of the public eye. I have read horrible evil vile things by Japanese and japanese American commenters who should know what it feels like to be victims of racism and ignorance. Azzy, I hope they don’t attack you for criticizing japan.
It's the common collective thing it seems among Japanese to gang up on somebody who thinks different or is critical of something. You have this drummed into you from very young so I can understand why it happens a lot and from what friends of mine who left Japan said they were critical of a lot of the same things.
Be so open minded that your brain falls out.
Not accepting filth is not being closed minded.
dreamdream011 I think they meant respect others opinions.
Lovely Artist
Then talk to them, dont address me.
Oh My !!!.. i’m a foreigner here in Japan but i live here almost 20yrs,, i really love the people here.. so disciplined, kind,.. so systematic,,they value time, and i have kids schooling and i believe teachers here doing their best, ,we need to obey rules for it is our own good ..
There is no perfect country,,and no perfect person i think we should just think positive ….
I'm happy you got out and thanks for sharing this:)))))
Work there for 3 years and 1of things I observed is there will always be "blame guy" when something went wrong on a group work and they love to bully guys that are weak, "nerdy", and obviously those with mental issues....
They do have high suicide rates for a reason.
@Warron_93
Visiting Japan is better then staying there permanently
True. I studied in a Japanese elementary school and the whole class bullied two students.
If you’re a teacher, can you report bullying? Or do the adults just not care?
Like the USA is not the capital of bullying
For me Japanese, I found this video interesting because I believe every culture has great and bad things.
Currently living in the UK, I sometimes miss Japan because of cultural differences and the British weather haha, but there are lots of things about Japan that I don’t quite like as well, such as strict rules, lack of respect for individuals and so on. And I’m a person who want to say whatever I want so I sometimes felt uncomfortable living in Japan as well as you.
But the thing is, those things that I don’t like about Japan also make Japan attractive in other way, for example collectivism helps us keep our cities much cleaner than many individual countries.
Sooo, yeah. I understand you found Japan could be not good place to live for somebody, even though I like Japan (not totally as I mentioned about bad things of Japan).
Hope you enjoy your life in Canada!
Yup, agree with you buddy. All the bad things she mentioned have good outcomes in other places. It's not strictly bad things. It's things that limit something on an individual basis a bit, to make life better for everyone. However, a lot of those "I want to stick out" people can't deal with it, and want it both ways. They want the great things that come from those rules while not wanting to abide by those rules.
Londoner here. Collectivism or hierarchy system or perfectionism are fundamental for manufacturing such as automotive or many other products. Only a few countries have multinational companies such as Toyota, Nintendo, and there’re reasons.
Regarding day to day life, UK or Europe services or food are generally much lower quality and cost ridiculously higher if you’re going out, much less options of attractions...and they generally are not big fans of something new unlike shops is Japan which have new items almost every month.
Hopefully Canada is a different story.
I'm Japanese
I think this is a little big
I have a showy look, but nothing particular
Actually Japanese people are not interested in others so much
For me and you
If what you are saying is true
Harajuku style would not have developed
Your video will fudge prejudice against Japanese
This your best experiences, Azusa!, I respect with u that I have little bit same the experience like you about our respective nation images, peace greetings from Indonesian to Japanese 😇✌🏻🙏🏻
この動画に非国民だのデマだの言ってる人は場違いな気がするぜ。日本人は1億人もいるんだから、こういう意見があってもおかしくないよね。ただ、動画の内容には俺は1ミリも共感できなかったなぁ。なんつーか、日本人目線の海外という"虚像"と生まれ育ってきてなじみのある"リアル"の日本を比べてるような、次元の違う比較をしている気がした。

I'm a japanese who was born and raised in japan. I understand what you said and felt in this society. polite doesn't mean tolerate. also me sometimes get so sick of something in jpn society that i feel like getting out of this country...
個人的には日本に住みたいです。私は現在アメリカに住んでいて、日本が住むのに良い場所かどうかを調べるために調査を行っています。
やってみるべきだと思い始めています。
もちろん良いところも悪いところもあるよ。
・意味があるものから意味不明なものまで、ルールの多さに嫌になる外国人は多い。
・英語を話せる日本人はほとんどいないから、当たり前だけど日本語は絶対に覚えたほうが楽だし仲良くなりやすい。
・外国人ってだけで家を借りるのが難しい。
・外国人同士の友達はすぐ出来るかもしれんけど、日本人に限っては距離を保ちたい人が多いから、孤独を感じやすいかもしれない。
良いところは、、ご飯が円安でアメリカに比べて安い、コンビニの商品が充実、治安が他国に比べてまぁ良い、
あと、プライベートにおいて干渉してくる人は少ないし、他国に比べて一人で行動することが変に思われない。
一人でご飯、一人で映画、一人でカラオケ、一人旅とかね。
今まだアメリカに住んでいるなら、日本は決して楽園ではないということを理解して来て欲しい。
Thank you for sharing your thoughts Azusa san!
