This video instantly reminded me of the pre-peeled mandarins wrapped in plastic bags by Whole Foods Market which eventually were removed from their shelves after a tweet reading: "If only nature would find a way to cover these oranges so we didn't have to waste so much plastic on them" went viral.
Please don't forget that Japan is a very humid country (especially during the summer) and especially cookies / rice crackers go bad QUICK. Even if you try to reseal the package with rubber bands and similar, the moist will often find its way in and ruin the product. Therefore, it's best to individually wrap snacks from the get-go!
Thanks for your comment, this is a really good point which I didn't really consider! You're right, it does get super humid here, like today, so now it makes more sense why they're individually wrapped! Thanks for the insight!! 👍
When you mentioned about the service staff, I totally agree with u. In the West people don’t really look down on customer service jobs like they do in Asia. When I went to the US, service staff were more chilled and would talk to us like a friend. Wish it was something like that in Asia. I’m from Thailand btw
Thanks for the insights from Thailand! I used to live there a long time ago btw! Are customer service staff in Thailand also very strict like Japan? As you say, I imagine in the US people are more chill!
@@taiseikikuta Since I’ve also been to Japan, I would say service staff in Japan are more well trained, as far as I know Japan is more of a perfectionist society compared to Thailand. Thailand service staff are more chilled compared to Japan. It’s just that Thai customers demand more stuff and I do imagine customers in Japan do demand a lot of stuff too as you mentioned in the video. I guess customers demanding a lot of stuff is probably an Asian thing😂. Btw, where about did u live in Thailand?
Every big TH-camr starts with less than 1k subscribers and i think for Taisei san, this is where he starts and i am happy that i found him when he is this small. All the best Taisei san!
I think the most inconvienient thing about Japan might be finding an apartment. You need an guarantor to find an apartment, and also you need to pay a bucnh of bs extra fees, and also some owners don't want to rent to foreigners.
Oh yes... Finding an apartment... I haven't had to experience that... YET, but probably will soon. I know it's way more annoying if you're a foreigner! Luckily I've got friends, some of which are foreigners who've managed to get through this process, so if they can do it, I know I can!
@@taiseikikuta I think they get through this by paying more money. I heard that if you don't have a guarantor, you need to pay for a company to be your guarantor. I don't like this guarantor thing at all, they shouldn't have another person be responsible for an adult's action.
@@missplainjane3905 You mean they would hide their identity and run from the police for their whole life just because they damage your room? That is insane.
Individually wrapped items are good for sharing and for keeping things fresh in a very very humid country ---though maybe wrapping produce at the supermarket can be a bit much... ;)
When people talk about "cozy European cities" they probably forget that even major European capitals are not as big and crowded as Tokyo. If you take Moscow though, it's different, because it's big and densely populated
I am from India living in the country side of hiroshima and studying undergrad at Hiroshima University I would definately agree with you on most points . Btw great video and keep it up 💯
Thanks for watching, from Hiroshima!! I hope you’re enjoying it there! I’m not gonna lie Hiroshima is one of the prefectures I haven’t been to yet 😓😓 I imagine living in the Japanese countryside is completely different to India right?
Nice vid. I was thinking of Monster by Naoki Urasawa personally. And yeah, the amount of plastic is absurd - individual bananas wrapped in plastic just makes me shake my head.
I would never of thought of that manga series 😅 Good point you raised about individual bananas, completely forgot lol - although I have seen recently the supermarket close to my place just uses one plastic for 3-4 so there’s some improvement maybe 🤔
Hi, thanks for offering your service! At the moment I think I’m alright. Once this channel gets bigger and thumbnails become time consuming for me, I’ll start looking for designers!
At the end of the day, yes I agree. The convenience of Japan cannot be beat! Just wanted to shine light on the downsides of it here because nothing in life is perfect 👍

Thanks for sharing this point, that's interesting, I never seen this tweet which caused such a change! Clearly not in Japan... YET!
@@missplainjane3905 I guess to make it easier/quicker to eat? 😂

And look into some desiccant materials, especially food-safe ones.

No. It's the best convenience I've ever experienced. From EU, to Canada, to the USA.

Your content are great, keep it up!
Thanks for the comment! Will keep the content going!

Stop it 😂 Jokes aside thanks for watching!
The content is interesting. But the 'jokes' are a bit annoying. And then the game at 9:20. I left, lost my interest. Too bad.
Thanks for your constructive criticism! Will take this into account 👍
And with the game portion, I was hesitant to include it in the first place.
@@taiseikikuta Keep up your good work! I will follow you :)
@@taiseikikutathe game was not interesting, the rest is awesome keep on goong
