- Japan is known as a country where people are polite and never show their feelings. Wheras the USA is seen as the opposite. But is that really true? In this episode, Arthur talks about his recent realization that actually the USA is a lot more fake than Japan. And this is one reason why Japan is alot easier for arthur to live in than the USA.

日本の文化の側面として、フェイクをフェイクとして、楽しむ文化と指摘し、また一方でアメリカの文化においては、そのフェイクをいかに自然に見せるかということに重点を置く傾向にあるという指摘はとても興味深く面白かったです。 どちらも文化の一側面であり、優劣などはありませんが、確かに日本の歌舞伎などは隈取といった化粧や言葉の言い回しにおいて、一般的な日常生活などからは、明確に敢えて離れて、そのフェイクさといえるものを強調することによって、観客を楽しませ、また観客もそれがフェイクであることを心の内で承知しながら、相互にそのフェイクの状態を楽しんでいると言えます。
とても、面白いお話でした！ありがとうございます！
CZcams recommended your channel a week ago and watch it daily since then. Love it! I'm a Japanese translator who have worked for both Japanese and American companies and lived in the States. Very interesting perspectives! Americans are friendly in general but I often wondered what they really think deep down☺️
いやークッソ面白かった。
あとput up a facadeっていう表現知らなかったので勉強になりました。
I'm Japanese, and this episode was so refreshing for me. I like seeing Japan and the Japanese culture from foreigners' angle.
この話大好き。何回も聞いてしまった👍
Austinの『脱脂粉乳』攻撃にお腹抱えて笑いました。 多分に主観が入った2人ご意見は、当たり障りのない一般論ではない面白さがあり、youtubeの中でもとりわけ大好きなshowです。大体半分の理解なのでもっと分かるようになりたいな。でもお二人のスピードに少しずつ慣れてきている実感があります！
This is really good video to know the concept the word “facade“ and how to use it. tfs.
I’m Japanese and live in Canada now to study English and another cultures. Your stories are very interesting!!! I’m studying about differences between high-context culture and low-context culture. Especially, how to learn something. In the text book, low-context culture people learn from asking, however, another culture do from mastering like exams. What do you think? I want you guys to talk about that someday. If this is not enough information, I’m sorry😂 Thank you!!
とても面白い文化論
This is really fun and interesting video!
I’d like to know more about these cultural differences.
“In the US, they try not to seem fake, but they are fake, so America is more fake than Japan.” 🤣
いつもに増して深く、面白い内容でした✨「日本には本音と建前があることで、社会が潤滑に回っている」さすがアーサーさん！と言わずにいられない洞察力✨ 日本人ですら、時に非常にうっとおしい「本音と建前」ですが、正におっしゃる通りだと思います！
追記:アメリカの牛乳🥛が薄くて美味しくなかったのは、そういう事だったんですね〜😂
30:41 I swear this guy must have posted about this on the Japan life reddit it was like I was reading a story I saw posted there but word for word it was eerie
日本人はたしかにプライベートと仕事場では区別してて普通だしみんな自由でそれでいいって思ってるけど、アメリカは違うんだって知らなくてびっくりしました😱日本人のあるあるもアメリカとの違いもわかって、いつもトピックも興味深くて過去回あさってます😂
ありがとうございます😺🫶
I love your talks!! Thank you!! Private you is your original, isn’t it? If you allow public you to behave in a way you don’t like, you are unhappy. Although we do not need to pretend to be successful in integrating two versions of you, trying to integrate is good, imo.
Private opinion vs Public stance is universal. It can be seen all over the world to some extent. I can tell this from my own experiences and by watching my favorite American cartoon "Family guy ".😂😂😂
星の王子様ミュージアム、今年クローズしてしまいましたよ〜😢
I'm 50 years old jpn guy, but i feel i have to talk to you guys once. there are so many things i can explain and disagree and/or ask.
Thank you! What are some things you disagree with?
I disagree that Japanese people are robots. Anyway, of course, individuals have many aspects to themselves.
It does not matter where you are from.
For example, a mom may act differently with her kids than in her office.
She may have a different demeanor with her husband or a boyfriend.
In my opinion, it's just that Japanese people are accepting of different versions of individuals, probably due to their homogeneous society.
People can anticipate how you might behave and are rarely surprised by your actions.
However, there's one exception when it comes to Japanese female "idols". People often confuse their private and public personas.
On the other hand, the US is too diverse, with many races, religions, and heritages.
You can't always predict how people will behave.
So, people appreciate it if you are authentic from private to public.
After all, you don't want to get close to a criminal, or someone who might back stab you.
I guess it's not so much about disagreement, but a few thoughts came to my mind.
Leviticus 19:33-34 34 The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the LORD your God.
Is this American virtue? When I visited the US, they were nice to me.
なかなか面白いトピックでした。全部に同意するわけではありませんが、ポイントはついていると思いました。
Thank you! What are some things you disagree with?

OMG～、ご本人様からの返信に驚き unexpected ご返事をしなければ
失礼になると思い、長々と文章を書いておりましたが、最後になって文章全部失ってしまいました。
ですので、ポイントだけお話ししたいと思います。
長年にわたりこちらの（米国）の公立小学校に勤めていた者の目線からの意見です。生徒さんたちへの声掛けのことです。サービス（仕事）だと言われてしまえばそれまでですが、多くの先生方は報酬を見返ることなく情熱的に、良い意味でプロ意識高く生徒さんたちと接しています。IEPがあるせいかもしれませんが、‟○○ちゃん、おはようさん、どうしてる？”は社交辞令ではなく、意味があるのです。
という突っ込みでした。
一般的な話になりますがアメリカの方々もそうそうバカではありません。公私は同じであってもらいたいと思いつつも、同じであるなんて思っていないと思います。FDAの決められたことでしょうか真実を記載する義務があることで選択肢が増え、自分に合ったものを選べるというのも私は好きです。
I have to say the fact American whole milk is soooooo good!😂
I’m Japanese and currently I’m living in US.
It’s true 2% milk is… you know?
However whole milk is really tasty.
I think it more delicious than the milk made in Japan.
Who do you think much better running on the world?
「日本人は人じゃなくて空間に話しかけてる！フェイクだ！」ってのを相手に直接言わないのも本音と建前だよね
😮2%milk???
10:08~ This would be one of the reasons that most of Japanese are skinny and short, and getting to have cancer much more than other countries recently incl food with a lotta other chemical products...pretty sure that ”Japanese food is amazing!" age is almost gone unfortunately..
今回のは面白かった。確かにアメリカの🥛はおいしくなかった。
