- Hello! I'm Mikan Oshidari.
I'm a Japanese author.
I got a Dumbphone for my mental health after getting addicted to my smartphone, and I'm writing a book about my experience.
The title is
"I want to stop being a slave to my smartphone."
I only have a Japanese version, but my goal is to translate and publish it in English and other languages around the world!
Anyway!
Today I'd like to introduce a great phone to you all. It's called "punkt."♥
I'm not good at English. But I want to tell the world about the dangers of smartphone addiction and the good points of the dumbphone.
That's why I write emails and letters overseas.
I rarely get a reply, though. I exchanged messages with a Swiss company that makes a digital detox phone.
It was my first time sending international mail, and I was excited.
I think about it when I make an English video, post it on TH-cam, and get comments,
but... Digital detox isn't well known in Japan yet.
But I'm glad that there are people who sympathize with the comments here.
Even though we are from different countries, it's reassuring to know that there are people who feel the same way.
And!
The other day, I received a wonderful gift for my birthday!
This is the punkt phone!
It's cute, very simple, and easy to use!!
A great model!
I think a lot of people want a model like this now.
Smartphones have become popular and have become very convenient, but a simple phone like this is good for mental health.
Smartphone addiction is a very serious problem in Japan for both children and adults.
But it's not taken seriously, so it's hard to raise the issue.
Smartphone addiction is becoming the majority.
Society pressures people to "absolutely need a smartphone." They're being forced to.
Everyone is always looking down and looking at a small screen.
The title of my book is "Smartphones.
There are a lot of "smartphone slaves" in the world today.
I think you should use whatever you like.
It's fine for teenagers to use dumbphones and for the elderly to use the latest smartphones.
If you like it! If you want to use it!
I definitely want to use a simple phone like this!
I worry when I go out without a way to contact people,
but like a smartphone, I don't need games, videos, news, or social media apps.
So this phone is perfect!
I want more people to know about that!
Aren't you tired of digital and smartphones?
I'm tired, so I'm glad I got a dumbphone!
As digital becomes more widespread, it's convenient, but very tiring.
I think we'll go back to analog.
Why not take care of your mental health instead of scrolling through endless screens?
Receive the minimum amount of communication on dumbphone. By email or phone.
And enjoy your free time.
A great Dumbphone "PUNKT"! Why not take care of your mental health instead of endless scrolling?
Recently, some mobile phone shops in Japan don't even sell dumbphones.
It's so sad.
I switched to a dumbphone and overcame my smartphone addiction, but if I get a smartphone again, I'll be addicted again.
Because addiction is scary.
Many people want a digital detox, and there are also elderly people and people with disabilities who cannot use smartphones, so I hope they continue to make simple models.

You are special case. You still use flip phones even though it has gone down in popularity. If people mock you, ignore them. You are not the only one and many people from asia uses flip phones! You're special🥰
Thank you for your kind comments. I don't regret switching from my smartphone to dumbphone. In fact, I shudder to imagine what I would have been addicted to my smartphone for a long time without realizing how scary it is. He must have been mentally and physically unhealthy. However, this idea is difficult to understand. Peer pressure is especially strong in Japan. To stop smartphone addiction, switch from smartphone to dumbphone... My decision is not wrong! But sometimes I feel depressed because people don't understand me or make fun of me. So I really appreciate your comment. If I ever feel down, I'll look at your comments. thank you! I will do my best through my books and videos to make this idea more widely known.
i'm very excited to come to japan just to buy phones like these, parrticularly i'm looking for any kyocera model, it would be a dream come true to live that slow lifestyle :) just like the early 2000s!
the thing is my job require certain apps, which are not available on dumbphone so for now i'm stuck on my smartphone :(
nervertheless, you rock! you're probably the only one on youtube making insightful dumbphone content. That's bravery. Dakara, please never give upon your work.
arigatou gozaimasu~~ (yeah, im learning japanese lol)
Thanks for your comment! If you go to Akihabara in Tokyo, you will find many old-fashioned mobile phones. Please come visit Japan sometime. I use a model called Kyocera's "Gratina". It's a good model. I feel like my mental health was better back in the days when I didn't have a smartphone and used dumbphones, computers, and Walkmans. I also need to use apps for work, so I have a dumbphone and a tablet! I wish the world knew more about digital detox. I'm talking about dumbphone and digital detox. Please check out other videos if you like.
You are saying so many good things Mikan-san ^^. The ''Punkt'' phone looks beautiful!
@@oodyswe
Thank you so much for all your comments!
happy!
PUNKT is very good!
Flipphones are great, but simple types of phones like this one are nice too.
The buttons are cute!
The color is also a beautiful light blue.
I like it🥰!
@@みかん-m8u4e Yes! It looks like a nice and simple phone! Yeah! The buttons are cute and very nice color! 👍I'm happy you like it! ^^
@@oodyswe
thank you!
Today, this video was introduced on the official Twitter (X) of the company that makes PUNKT.
It's my favorite phone, so I'm happy to be able to help promote it!
@@みかん-m8u4e wow! They introduced this video on their official Twitter! That is so cool! So nice it's your favorite phone ^^!
@@みかん-m8u4e That's so cool Mikan-san! I'm happy to hear it's your favorite phone!
Thank you for English language! Well done! I'm From Russia - and it was interesting to watcha bunch of new videos on the topic of your production that interests me. I am a computer programmer - using a smartphone, especially after the end of the working day, can lead to almost a nervous breakdown, because of the notifications, calls etc... Ive ordered a Japanese flip phone, hope that it will work with my country lte bands - love its aesthetics. Good luck in creating videos, everything will work out!
Привет! А где можно купить японский телефон? В России работает?
Thank you Mikan! Keep up the healthy digital balance over in Japan.
Hello!
Thank you for your comment!
This has become a treasured item.
What a wonderful gift. Thank you.
I hope more people around the world know about this wonderful phone.
Looks like you've gained some subscribers ❤
@@MrTirupur thank you!
This is still to come.
I'll try harder.
(I haven't been able to reply to the comment you sent me! Sorry. Please wait.)
i believe that i will read your book someday , keep going !
Thank you.
I will continue to work so that a translated version can be published.
I've recently been emailing American publishers about my book...!
I haven't heard back yet (and I'm sure I'll get a lot of emails)
There are days when I feel like giving up, but I'll keep trying!
I'll make sure to let you know here when a translated version is released!
@@みかん-m8u4e yess , i would like to read it for sure , i really like your videos keep going and never give up
Nice video goodluck for your book
@@RitShukla
Thank you very much for your comment! I emailed the publisher again today, hoping to publish a translated version in English. If we could release an English translated version, I think it would be accessible to many people around the world. Smartphone addiction is a global problem. I will do my best more! Please check out the other videos if you like.
Well done on the English!!! Not a lot of Japanese youtubers do that. You've done excellent :)))
@@ThaThree
Thank you very much for your comment! I'm still not good at English, but I'll continue to communicate in English about "smartphone addiction," "digital detox," "dumbphone," and more! Thank you for your continued support! Please check out the other videos if you like!
Its a very cute phone 😍
You're right!
This phone is so cute.
I wish they sold it in Japan too.
@@みかん-m8u4e did you import this mobile from another country?
@@MrTirupurThis was kindly sent to me by the company that makes PUNKT!
@user-ti6ef7jd3l you must be loved by that company I guess 😊
I wish japanese flip phone is not only marketed in japan 😢😢😢. I really want to buy it. But it is exclusively sold in japan 😢😢😢😢
Thanks for your comment!
Seems like it's for real!
When Apple made the iPhone and it came to Japan, Japanese mobile phone manufacturers also made smartphones.
However, the current smartphone market in Japan is dominated by iPhones and smartphones from Korean and Chinese manufacturers.
I think Japanese feature phones (flipphones) tend to have cute designs and colors, so I want them to continue making them, and I wish they could sell them all over the world! Japanese manga and anime are extremely popular.
I'm proud of that. I have an American friend who came to Japan because he likes Japanese anime and studied Japanese.
Like anime and manga that get people interested in Japan and give them a chance to learn more about Japan. I think Japanese feature phones (flipphones) should also be promoted to the world as part of Japanese culture.
Digital detox is booming right now, so I think there's a chance.
I hope Japanese manufacturers realize this!
Sorry for the long comment!

ベルギーからおはよう！
最近どのスマホ使っていますか？
一生懸命日本語を勉強しているけど、スマホが集中に大きな問題だよ。単純なスマホを使いたいです。
あなたの本は頑張ってください。
@@samuelmonroe2130
ベルギーから！日本語でコメントしてくれてありがとう！
私は今京セラのグラティーナ、それから日本のメーカーが出しているモードワンレトロ2という
フリップフォンと、このPUNKT、
それからタブレットを使っています。
スマホは持っていません。
連絡はフリップフォン、それからインターネットやアプリを仕事で使うときはタブレットをつかっています！
このスタイルが私のデジタルデトックススタイルですが、
色々なスタイルがあると思います！
例えばスマホ端末がいいなら、日本にはお年寄り向けのスマホがあります。
それを使ってみるとかはどうでしょう？
よいデジタルデトックスをしてくださいね！
日本語の勉強も頑張って！
日本語は日本人の私でも難しいと思います。
でも日本語特有の季節や景色を表す単語がたくさんあって、素敵です。
（From Belgium! Thank you for commenting in Japanese!
Right now I use the Kyocera Gratina, a flip phone called Mode One Retro 2 made by a Japanese manufacturer, this PUNKT,
and a tablet.
I don't have a smartphone.
I use my flip phone for communication, and my tablet when I need to use the internet or apps for work!
This is my digital detox style,
but I think there are many different styles!
For example, if you want a smartphone, there are smartphones for the elderly in Japan.
Why not try using one of those?
Have a good digital detox!
Do your best to study Japanese!
I think Japanese is difficult, even for me as a Japanese person.
But it's wonderful that there are so many words that are unique to Japanese and describe the seasons and scenery.）

Thank you very much ♥♥
(The icon image is cute! Is it Link, a character from a Japanese game? The Legend of Zelda)
Please check out the other videos if you like!
Have a good digital detox too!♥
@@みかん-m8u4e thank you for your videos! I'm searching for the best dumbphone for myself because I also struggle with smartphone addiction a little 😅 congratulations on your book! 🎉
my icon is a cute potato dressed as Link from The Legend of Zelda 🥔 LOL
Analog is the only way.
Thank you for your comment!
I think so too.
There are apps that simplify the display of your smartphone for digital detox, and apps that display screen time, but I think analog is the best option.
If you own a smartphone, no matter how hard you try, you will never be able to break free from smartphone addiction.
dumbphone (flipphone) is great for digital detox.
Smartphone addiction is serious all over the world right now, so I hope that digital detox and dumbphones will become more widespread.

Have a good digital detox life too☺✨!

（Grazie per il tuo commento dall'Italia!
Mi sento onorato.
Voglio che le persone in tutto il mondo conoscano la disintossicazione digitale e la dipendenza da smartphone.
