There’s a lot of fetishisation of Japan in this comment section but I guess it’s to be expected. If anyone is under the belief that Japan is a magical land where the people are pure and always wholesome just remember real life isn’t an anime and it’s not healthy to think this way!

Okay, but just because a certain group of Japanese people looks happy and open-minded, doesn't mean that all are. There are many nice and open-minded Japanese people, and there are people that are the opposite. It really depends on the person, their environment, and their personality. You can't really generalize a whole culture just from one group.

mei is cute, many of ur friends is pretty too, but what struck me is when u sneak up on yuri while she practice flute, alone, the moment when y slowly come video her from behind, the siluet even without showing face & the her gesture while playing flute with her bag on the back with an accessory & she really playing without noticing u came, it's like seeing one of those beautiful anime moment about school days & friends
Such a nostalgic video, I remembered all my school years, it was so fun, although at that times I thought it was boring and good times will be ahead. It all like Chekhov said "...remembering my life, I am vividly aware of my happiness precisely at those moments when, it seemed then, I was most unhappy." Thank you for your video, feel like all my hopes and dreams that were in my school years are awakening and giving me at least sense of happiness.
This is so wholesome honestly makes me curious how the exchange program works but I feel like he scary to be on my own to new foreign country but it nice to see how well you communicate with them like learning Japanese must be difficult
Hey Saya, I really liked the videos you make about Japan and your exchange, I would like to do it myself. With which web agency did you exchange? I also like how you recorded the video, which camera did you use and which app did you use to edit the video? I would also like to do it like that. Bye
this was so helpful to me thank you, i live in a washington and plan to be a foreign exchange student in japan during my 3rd year of highschool. which city or area of japan is this school in? i assume schools in different areas or cities have slightly different rules?
I'm using Bussu and searching profiles that help with the learning, such as Onomappu, his videos really help me, and practice, in her case it's in a way "easier" because everything is in that language so she haves to adapt to it faster.
Hey that's amazing that you can speak Japanese so well! You definitely inspired me lol. I have been studying Japanese on and off for some years now and decided a few weeks ago to start study again (so of course TH-cam would recommend this video lol) Looks like you had a blast! Was that a Japanese church service? Anyways so cool, and stay safe
This looks so cool to do!!!!! Maybe in the future I can do something like this(but then again I'm gonna have to learn Japanese I only know how to say hello and count to 10 Japanese.....)
Your story is exactly like that anime story one of a foreign girl who transferrs her school to a Japanese high school and make many new friends and also enjoys very much with them over a year and the time of goodbye... she misses someone special among her friends for whom she holded special feelings.. and also her friends also cry at the time of goodbye.. and several years later she is again reunited with her lost love and they again start hanging out with each other and again they meet their old friends and eventually get married. Huh? What? I am not crying.. you are😭😭😭
Hi, I am going on exchange in 2 months or so, so I know a bit about getting started with it. What I did was I first talked with my parents about what their opinions about me going on exchange were and if they would be willing to support it. Then, I worked with them to figure out the costs and to make sure it could be covered. Then, the next most important thing is talking to your school and seeing what you are able to do as far as credits go. Since I am going for a year long exchange, I had to make sure that I would be able to get all of the credits I needed so that I didn't graduate late, because my school is not giving me credits for my time abroad. Next, you do some research on which program you would like to go with, which there quite a few but some applications may be closed or limited due to covid. Then, you apply to the program you would like to go with and go from there!
look up "student exchange programs" in google and find one that fits your standards well and talk to your parents about it, hopefully ill be commenting this whilst your on your way to become one but either way take care
CAN you do another q n a ? I lived in japan when I was younger but I went to a school called ASIJ and it was an international school. I don't know what a Japanese high school USB exactly like but I want to know!
I'm gonna go to school here in Japan for the first time and I will be in 9th grade what advice can you give me because I have no clue about the school here and Don't know how to read and write
im going to japan for an exchange semester and im so nervous T_T i don't know that much japanese at all and it isn't required but im so scared ill get judged if i say the wrong thing or dont understand whats happening :(((( im excited though!
What an awesome experience! Japan is my favorite place to go to, where is this in Japan? I’m hopefully doing an exchange next year and it’s really cool all the friends you made
So I’m planning to study abroad for junior year of high school and I’m learning Japanese now I’m nervous if I can learn the language good enough in 2 years to do it tho
Which school is this I'd love to enroll there seeing your experience from 1st person is cool! And everyone seems nice and talented too! And 2 years from now I can enroll!
damn this is why i wish my school did japanese instead of chinese (for chinese all we get to go on is a 2 week trip [which is great! i just don’t have as much fun with chinese as i do with beginning japanese]. seeing this mini film was super interesting, it makes me want to go on an exchange there
I really want to go to japan as a exchange student but i dont know where to start learning the language and where to start focusing on like what program i should sign up for..😓😓 im 14 turning 15 september 2 and i feel like if i wait any longer to learn japanese i wont be good at it please give me some tips if you have any😭🙏🏻
I'm learning Japanese too I also wanna be a exange student!! I think it would be good to learn the alphabets first and then start learn ing words and phrases. Thats what I'm doing currently :)
Recommended just about 3 years after it was initially uploaded. This reminded me that I was watching just a glimpse into someone else’s memories. I hope this experience was a fulfilling one.
Can I ask you, how good do you need to know japanese to go like exchange? And how did you go? Where did you find that, how many you paid etc. It will be awesome if you will answer those questions, or maybe make a video about that
It depends on the program and school you’ll be going to. Some require you to be at an intermediate level, while others have no requirements (or at the very least requires you to study as much as possible before leaving for Japan).
I know that this video is was uploaded more than a year ago, but I was wondering if you still remember when you arrived & started school in Japan and when your last day was? Did you start at the beginning of April or mid-year or?
Question for (boys) in Japan: If I have my hair pull back, would I have to cut it? My hair is dark brown color, can I potentially have it natural (the way it looks) or dye my hair to black? Let me know down in the comment section. 👇

You really have a deep voice at the start of your exchange student year and long time no upload 😀

Are you or will you be still in touch with your friends and classmates in japan ?
