    Can we just pause to appreciate what an absolute CZcams genius Takashii is? Seriously. As a viewer who subscribed when he was only at 20k subs in late 2021, I've followed his growth for awhile now. He's at practically 1 mil subs in under 3yrs, he uses no B-roll, no music or SFX (n hence saves on subscriptions), he does very basic video editing which saves time n effort, and doesn't use any copyrighted content at all so no copyright claims. With >170 million views in the last 6 mths, his Adsense revenue must be fantastic. Not to mention sponsorships and affiliate links.
    As for content, yes he used to spend hours looking for interviewees but the content is basically generated from them with some well thought questions from him. Meaning little (if any) time wasted on scripts and storytelling, no studio set-up, no props, no costumes, no website, and very little gear which means low expenses. This is just what I see as an outsider.
    If anyone ever wanted to succeed on CZcams in one of the most resource efficient ways possible, I would highly recommend them study Takashii's channel. Congrats Takashii! Looking forward to what you've got planned next! 🎉

      Even before the COVID, the Japanese wear face mask when they don’t feel well, afraid of spread illness to others, basically being considerate. And it could be due to the pollen season over there too.
      You may say why don’t they stay home. The work culture in Japan is you try not to take sick leave, because your coworkers will have to do your stuff when they are busy enough already.

    • @ideus3718
      @ideus3718 Před rokem +23

      @須崎 because in Japan, it’s well ingrained in the culture to wear a face mask if you feel unwell and are out in public. It’s literally just consideration for the people around you, and minimising the risk of spreading a cold or illness to others unnecessarily.

      I agree, but parents should also be careful not to project their own experiences onto their children or assume that because a country is homogenous she will have problems . It's good that they are aware of issues that may arise, but also let the child be their own person and have their own experiences. Guess what I'm trying to say is don't make a problem out of something that might never happen, but intervene if it does. Some biracial kids in Japan never get bullied, feel japanese and have japanese friends, while others have a different experience. Being multicultural will bring about some identity "crisis" no matter where you live.

    Your interview was absolutely amazing. I loved the personal interaction and their openness to their situation. I definitely can relate, being biracial and Japanese myself. It's never easy when you're born with several different ethnicity but in time, you learn to adapt. Well I hope you all have a fantastic weekend.

      One thing I did not particularly like about what the father said was " its going to take a long time before the Japanese accept diversity". We as foreigners have to accept that other countries are not like our native home and we shouldn't push our ideology on them because that creates resentment and hate. I can already tell these couples goal is to influence Japanese society to be more diverse, that ideology is almost colonialist.

    Japan can be very, "don't stand out" and "do as everyone else does without question" from a cultural standpoint.
    Here in Boston, MA, there's a ton of Chinese people. The state has one of the largest populations of Chinese people in the country. There's a good amount of blasians as well. It's a great thing for different cultures to experience and learn from each other.

I've seen (few) healthy and happy international couples in Japan. Their secret? Talk honestly about thoughts, goals, plans and feelings. Which bear in mind is not necessarily a thing in Japanese culture, where you're supposed to understand your partner more 'instinctively '

If im visiting/living in another country i should be prepare to follow whatever rules are set in stone for such country. I think you can have some sort of diversity as long as it doesn't overtake the homogeneity of the country. IMO if people were so worried about diversity they should just stay in america lol.

    That Japanese girl sounds more American than anything which leads me to believe they’re both American who moved to Japan. Intercultural relationships are tough but if you’re an expat, that’s another barrier.
