I had never heard japanese being spoken so fluently.. with a brazilian accent. It sounds so warm and festive.
lol
If you are born British, even if you are required to give up your UK citizenship to get another citizenship, you can always resume UK citizenship, because the UK disregards foreign requirements.
Yeah plenty of countries do the same
You just have to make sure to not tell Japanese officials about that :)
@@jeannich34 Is it the same for Canada 👀?
Except Brides of Isis! They can't return
Canada does not ask anyone to give up their old citizenship. Canada does not encourage keeping other citizenships either.@@maximecloutier-gravel8908
Would that be the same for the US?
I always love seeing foreigners switch to Japanese, and how their entire bodylanguage as a whole change with it.
Different neural pathways with different languages. It’s like becoming a different person.
Same for me, i like to see it, it's amazing, they look like a different person
Elevation in spirit
@@rollinwood9453 I didn't think about that, but it makes sense!
I feel the same on me. I'm Serbian living in Sweden for 30 years. When I go back to my country after a while I kinda switch my way of talking and body language and everything. It's fun to see it on others.
I've never seen a visa immigration firm do a youtube sponsorship before, but this was a really clever way for them to get their word out
I’m not interested in becoming a Japanese citizen, however, I found this video fascinating. The interviewees were really interesting to listen to. Well done, in covering such a complex topic. Congratulations!
Heya! Are you learning Japanese at the moment?
why do you sound like a bot
Nobody is interested in becoming one lol
@@hg77777 you clearly haven't read enough of this comment thread.
It is a pleasure working with you, thank you for visiting Osaka to interview me. Thank you so much for this amazing video! Keep up the fantastic work! 👍😊

If I ever make it to Japan from Syria I will come for your help!
and thank you very much in advance
The first guy speaks the most fluent Japanese I have ever heard from non-native speakers!! How did he get that fluent…Amazing.
Having formally studied Japanese myself, I can say that there are some people who just have a natural talent for learning languages. I don't even think it's related to intelligence, but just some kind of natural talent plus diligent study. I, unfortunately, am not one of those people and I had to struggle.
@@russelljimmies9293Si, absolutamente de acuerdo.
His English is really good also
He is amazing in languages.
The Jordanian guy is a natural for learning languages.
he's right! the more you understand about the culture and the sentiment behind the words, the easier it becomes to learn them
I'm also a Japanese naturalised citizen - originally from the US. When I knew I would spend the rest of my life in Japan, it just seemed natural to be a citizen of this country. The process of gathering the paperwork from the United States and my parents was certainly frustrating, and at subsequent interviews they kept requesting new documents that weren't on the original list. This made the preparation stage even longer. After submitting everything I had to wait 17 months before finally being approved. I feel a strong piece of mind knowing that my right to be here is forever protected. Mostly for me though, I didn't want to keep using my original name. No matter how long you have lived here or how perfectly you speak Japanese, when they see the katakana name the treatment is instantly different. This caused me a lot of problems with paperwork and tax forms, etc. Even though I opened accounts in Japanese and submitted everything in Japanese, they would send me manuals and forms the following year in badly translated English. Since my name just blends in now, I no longer have these problems and I feel a lot less stress when dealing with people on the phone or through paperwork. Until they see my face they don't know I was born overseas and I get treated like any other Japanese person, which makes so many processes go more smoothly. It's pretty funny seeing the change in treatment the moment they see my face though. ww
the united states doesn't recognize other citizenships so I don't think you officially can lose it unless you officially renounce it at a US embassy.
@@michelleg7 But the thing is that Japan doesnt allow dual citizenship so You will be forced to denounce Your current citizenship to become a Japanese citizen
You have to be mindful because the Japanese social security system is different than the U.S., requiring much longer contribution with no gaps. There are consequences if not met where in the states, requirements are less strict.
Sounds like mild racism
@firenine1345 there's nothing mild about it.
“If you understand the culture, than it becomes easier to learn the language.”
So very true, I always stress this to my students. Reaching an excellent level in a language is impossible without a real interest in one of the cultures which speaks the language.
I just got naturalized last week, got my koseki tohon today and I saw this video 😮 . How coincidental.
I live alone. No Japanese partner, and I knew no one who naturalized in my social circle. Took me almost 2years (mainly because of collecting documents), but it's worth it.Been here in Japan for 6 years before applying for naturalization. I chose an entirely different sounding Japanese name, and I am still trying to get used to being called by my new name, but it's giving me warm fuzzy feelings~
You are not true japaneseeeeeeee
to the commenter above me ^^^^
the person did not ask + the person does not care + giga cringe
Congratulations :)
@@-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-...lol only u care about that. The law says different. Law says he’s japanese. So keep crying

i can see why your channel is growing so fast! good work again takashi
Takashi-san, you have the most interesting, candid, respectful channel on the Internet. You are doing such a huge service for your country and really for people all around the world, to bring us closer together. Thank you for your excellent interviews and your kind heart.
Not really. It seems like he is trying to make Japan more like western nations, which will be a huge disservice to Japan.
Takashi, I love your channel man. You are a great interviewer and I love how you let people talk. These people were also crazy interesting(and impressive). Thanks for your content!
I also got my japanese nationality last year and the process lasted for 7-8 months! The best decision of my life.
I might have missed it on this video but do you have to marry into it? It seems everyone here was married into Japanese citizen
Where were you originally from? Congrats!
How did you get ?
@@ma.2099no. It makes it easier tho
This is one of most informative videos to ones who seek residency in Japan, good job
Just discovered this awesome channel. As a ‘halfy’ (Irish-Indian) I’ve been closely watching the mixed race interviews. The questions of identity sound very familiar to me and I’ve learned a lot from your wonderful interviewees. Keep up the good work. I’m slowly making my way through your video backlog. Fascinating and eye-opening. Can’t wait to visit Japan.
Leo? 😂 yes i love his hafu videos too
Takashii-san this was very informative, useful and valuable! Thank you so much for going through the trouble and for putting your time and energy into helping us (foreigners) get better informed about our (naturalizing) options 🙏💝
Amazing video! Thank you so much for this! As someone who is looking to move to Japan in the next 2 years, everything in this video was extremely helpful. Awesome job!
Was super happy to see someone from the same place as me at 10:30 ! Thanks for the awesome interviews!
Absolutely amazing to see several people who are not native English speakers speaking English and Japanese fluently as well as their native language...very interesting.
yes ive never seen his before... LOL
Some people have a nack for picking up language...other people struggle all their lives to learn a little. It is hardwired in your brain.
nope its actually quite easy to pick up languages when you are young and English is the main global language, simple really.@@Bradgilliswhammyman
I don't speak Japanese but really enjoy it when you subject your foreign interviewees to a Japanese test 😂
Takashi’s is a natural interviewer ! His makes people comfortable and let them open up.
This was so interesting. You did a nice job asking good questions and providing insights to the process.
This is one of your best interviews @Takashi! Thank you for including an actual immigration lawyer. Its been a very insightful and encouraging one 💡
Great to see your channel really taking off
TAKASHIIII-san, thank you so much for this video. This is really a perfect timing. Thank you so much for your effort on creating this video!
A Jordanian....being interviewed by a Japanese foreigner.....both speaking English.
I'm loving the diversity in this world!!!
And, the Jordanian impressed me, tremendously, with his Japanese!
👏👏👏
These videos should inspire everyone to want to travel. 💯
Your Israhell could learn a thing or two of تعايش سلمي
Great interviews. Thank you for sharing. Big fan of your channel.
AMAZING video!!! So many questions are answered in becoming a citizen of Japan.
I'm so happy you have created this video! This is something I have been thinking of for over a year now but uncertain where to start and what to do. Thank you so much! I look forward to the 2025 Expo!
Excellent content Takashii! Love your channel, keep it up. I am a foreigner considering moving to Japan and your videos are really insightful.
I definitely don't believe that the first guy's speaking ability hasn't improved since moving to Japan. I think he just doesn't realize how much it HAS improved because he was already at a decent level before moving there. I'm sure his vocab has improved significantly and his knowledge of colloquial expressions too, but because these things happen so gradually, he didn't really notice.
This might be one of the most insightful videos you’ve ever put out. Nice job.
Thank you Takashii-San This was very interesting and extremely informative. I found it interesting and eye opening to hear the reasons why the people you interviewed became Japanese nationals.
Takashii does the most interesting interviews! I never knew any of this about Japanese citizenship. Such a great channel Takashii!
冒頭でJordanから来た男性が日本語に切り替わった時、いきなり身近な普通の日本人になって驚いた。もし目の前で彼と会話したら、たぶん見た目を忘れるくらい普通に日本人と感じて接すると思う。
Very interesting video. I have always wanted to visit Japan. I studied Karate for many years, and have had a few Japanese friends over the years. I love Japanese watches and cars, the Japanese are a brilliant people. Cheers from Arizona, USA.
So inspiring, thank you for sharing!
Great video! Thank you for sharing!
I really love your channel! It would be interesting if you interviewed older people and got there opinions on different subjects.
Your videos always are great with every new interesting topic
Perfect informative video! Thank you! 🙏
This is so informative. Thank you, so much!
This is a very informative video showing that there is nothing thats impossible (aside from certain situations) but it shows that there are high barriers. To become a citizen of another country you really have to sit down and commit to studying the language, mannerisms, culture, history, etc which I feel is especially more important for Japanese citizenship compared to, for example, an American citizenship. But for Japan you cannot hold dual citizenship and must give up your current citizenship. That is a very big commitment and I applaud people who are confident enough to take a leap of that level because it is a life changing decision. Very cool video and would be interested to see how natural Japanese citizens feel regarding this topic for insight on the societal opinion and/or changing climate.
We appreciate your interviews. Keep working hard.
Thank you. Your interviews are very informative.
Thank you, this was very informative!
00:43 🥋 Martial arts, like Judo, attracted some to Japanese culture and citizenship, feeling closer upon arrival in Japan.
01:28 🛂 The naturalization process to obtain Japanese citizenship typically involves steps from an initial visa to eventual passport acquisition, often after several years.
03:34 🤝 Marriage to a Japanese citizen might influence the naturalization process, impacting inquiries from the government during the citizenship application.
06:41 🗺 Long-term residence and professional career development in Japan were major factors motivating some individuals to pursue Japanese citizenship.
09:55 📚 Learning Japanese involved attending language schools, studying while working, and continuous efforts to improve language proficiency over time.
11:50 🏠 Positive experiences in Japan, such as feeling welcomed and the country's safety and convenience, influenced the desire to settle down and become a Japanese citizen.
12:18 📝 The naturalization process requires five years of residency in Japan, proficiency in Japanese language, and interviews, culminating in a comprehensive examination.
13:11 🤔 Family support, language proficiency, and understanding Japanese culture are crucial elements for those aspiring to become Japanese citizens.
14:21 🌏 Long-term residence doesn't always equate to seeking permanent citizenship; some foreign residents find satisfaction in their work and lifestyle without pursuing citizenship.
15:29 🏢 Visa and residency perks: Obtaining permanent residency in Japan allows unrestricted work, easier housing loans, and even continued living if the spouse is deceased or divorced.
16:18 📝 Residency pros and cons: Advantages include holding a Japanese passport for visa-free travel and the ability to establish full citizenship, but losing original citizenship and limitations in certain situations are drawbacks.
17:00 🌍 Common origins: People seeking Japanese citizenship mainly come from East Asia (Korea, China) and other regions like Brazil, Vietnam, and the Philippines due to economic or safety concerns in their home countries.
18:19 🤔 Naturalization criteria: Fluent Japanese language skills, residing in Japan for at least five years (three if married to a Japanese citizen), and proof of stability through employment are key factors in the naturalization process.
19:11 💼 Consultation and support: Offices like YUGE OFFICE in Osaka offer online consultations, document support, and translation services in various languages to aid in the residency application process in Japan.
20:08 💡 Immigration complexities: Navigating Japan's immigration laws, especially without expertise, can be intricate and nuanced, recommending seeking legal help for smoother processes when dealing with such matters.
wooow, thanks for that comment :'D
You're an angel & doing God's work. Thank you
Thank you AI
18:14 What criteria do you need to meet to be able to naturalize?
18:20 Per the Yuge Office in Japan, "The most important criteria is whether or not you can speak Japanese. 1) You have to be able to both comprehend and speak the language. 2) You also need to be able to read Kanji taught at the elementary school *_2nd Grade Level._* 3) It is very important that you can write your address and name in Japanese. 4) You must also have lived in Japan for 5 years _continuously._ *NOTE:* _In most cases, you won't be able to naturalize unless you have worked for at least 3 Years. If you have a spouse that is Japanese the criteria may be less strict."_
yes.....and? we saw the video. we know what did it say. what was need to upload these?
‘If you understand the culture, then it becomes easier to understand the language.’ ❤ this! Couldn’t agree more.. understanding the collective cultures and individuals of the world, building bridges and inclusivity. I found that food, music, dance, sports, hobbies.. the language of interests, does phenomenal things to build human connection. 🌏🌎🌍
Anime 🗿
Great interviews on people but showing the actual process as explained by the attorney added more to the content so people get accurate information. Well done!
This was a really great video! I like the longer microphone,too!
I don’t mean to be that guy. But this is how migrants in general should be at any other countries. Appreciate and respect the country’s value and culture. Become a positively contributing person to the society.
Btw I am a migrant who recently became a citizen of a great country. 🎉
There isn’t any reason to preface “be that guy.” It should be standard across the world to migrate into a culture when migrating into a country. Why migrate there outside of wanting to become a part of what already exists?
Migrants must respect the customs and values of host country. Western countries are being permanently changed for the worse by forcing their own citizens to change to the values and customs of migrants.
@@ma.2099 yes it should be the standard. But sadly not the reality in some cases.
What do you mean "that guy?"
"That guy" is the one who believes they shouldn't have to adapt/act appropriately with respect to culture.
Excellent Interview!!! Your videos hit the mark very often. I really enjoy your shows. Your personality and demeanor is both, inviting and open to all the interviewees, despite the demographic, which is a welcomed truth. I find this fact a most favorable element in your videos. Keep up the great work. Such a joy to watch.
Takashii I happened across your channel by accident a couple days ago. The first video I watched was about what the Japanese think about the United States I really enjoyed the format and your content. I just wanted to tell you that you have a good channel and very good content. I subscribed and look forward to future videos.
Thank you, very interesting. Not planning on living in Japan (again) but good to see some new citizens start to fill the hole in the population.
Learning the language and culture is very important if you want to live somewhere permanently. This is a general rule of thumb for every country.
Thank You so much for this content !
Very interesting to know. Thanks for the informative video!
Ozu is a true embodiment of it’s how you feel that makes you who you are and not what you look like.
The last point about getting some form of help when immigrating is actually very good advice. Often times, you think you can do it yourself and that the government would firmly outline the process of doing so... But that is so wrong haha! I recently moved to another country and having an immigration specialist help with the process was so fantastic. They are in your corner and know the 'loopholes', so they can make an individualised plan for you that best suits your needs & timeline. In my case, a lot of the steps for emmigrating wasn't properly outlined on the governments website, nor the steps/processes I had to do there after. Not to mention language barriers when applicable. It's also handy to connect on social media with other expats and discuss with them the proces they went through to give you a full picture
Thank you so much for this video Takashii san, very helpful and informative.
You have wonderful content, Takashii. Thank you for sharing it!
This is a very interesting video, especially from the point of view of the interviewees who are now Japanese citizens. As a lover of all things Japanese, ditching my Kiwi citizenship might be a deal breaker for me. But as I see it, the pros definitely outweigh the cons😊
I have family living in Japan (with PR) and I just want to come back to visit soon. I've been slowly studying Japanese and am surprised at how many words I could understand. It gives me hope! This was a very interesting episode, thanks!
How do you learn Japanese?
@@heavenly_girl - Mostly CZcams video content. First I learned the Hiragana and Katakana alphabets (Japanese pod 101). Then I learned basic words: numbers, colors, fruits, days of the week, food, etc. Then I learned basic common phrases. I also translate Japanese lyrics of songs I like (usually kpop groups that have Japanese songs). CZcams has so many great videos! But learn the alphabets first!
@@SeeVolmr Thanks for the detailed reply! Similarly, I also learned Korean myself by watching CZcams videos and reading Korean subtitles of the videos. I understand Korean contents well without any translation. I now consider learning Japanese as well. There is enjoyment in learning foreign languages and understand the meaning of the words and sentences in that language. 🙂
That was so helpful, thank you so much 👏🤩
Very eye opening and interesting video Takashii. Thanks❤
This is a beautiful and perfect example of how you go to someone else’s country and learn the culture, where as one specific culture goes everywhere and wants the world to change for them
Really useful!!
Thank u this was very helpful, I def took notes😅
Wonderful interviews. It's a joy to listen to their stories as there are a number of CZcams content creators who have so little respect for the customs of a country that they are a visitor in. These naturalized Japanese members remind me that there are thoughtful people visiting and choosing to stay in beautiful and rich in history countries. 🌸
Never been to Japan! But I will honestly tell you that I have been around the rest of the world. Watching Takashi's channel has motivated me to come visit Japan in 2024.
this was such a wonderful video, thanks takashi for sharing these stories 😊
Big thanks Takashi san it was exactly what I wanted, so helpful.
Believe you or not. At morning I watched this video and then went to a beach in Okinawa. There was a beach soccer tournament and I’ve met the guy from your video!!!!😂😂 they actually won the game and I caught the ball from this game 3 times 😂
As someone who is in the process of immigrating to NZ, GET AND IMMIGRATION LAWYER!!! No matter where you are relocating an immigration lawyer makes the process go so much more smoothly. You may be thinking to yourself that it’s a waste of money but you will waste far more money and time attempting it on your own. Most people that try to apply themselves get denied a number of times before succeeding, if they ever do.
What a trans
Depends. NZ use a points system. If you meet the points requirements you don't need a lawyer. If you don't you need a lawyer.
Yeah I got this lovely lady for my wife years ago and it makes whole process so much smoother because they already know exactly what forms to fill what will be needed they can organise translators etc ... and the fees in the end were very low compare to stress and effort we would have to go through.
cap.
You don't need an immigration lawyer sucking you dry, you need a brain and the ability to read.
@Takashii your best video to date . Great job especially the lawyer at the end.
Thank you for making this content.
Takashii-san, great report and surely you will help lots of people who are eager to get a Japanese citizenship.
Nice interview Takashi san. Keep them quality interviews coming. 👌
A very informative wholesome video!
We have many knowledge and information from this channel . Thank you very much Takashi .
the first guy's voice got so cute after he started speaking japanese xD
Very inspiring!
excellent topic and conduct of interviews Takashii 🙏
Fantastic and informative 😀
I love how the soccer player was so enamored by the culture and people that not only did he want to become a citizen but to also give back to the country with his skills. That point about the "regular" 12 hour day work for most people as a turn-off makes a lot of sense. I guess he's lucky to sidestep that aspect of being Japanese, lol
He means fellow Brazilians who work in factories for 12 hours a day and never get to experience Japan
He certainly appeared to be the most immersed in Japan, not only in language, but also in body language and cultural understanding.
It would be interesting to have a follow up or related video on how people choose a Japanese name for themselves when they become citizens. I believe that in Singapore and Hong Kong people of Chinese descent will have both an original Chinese name and a westernised name too.
At the Hong Kong airport, I had to fill out some form, and right above me were two pieces of paper. One piece of paper had English writing; the other piece of paper had Chinese writing. The English writing was signed by some staff member, with an English given name and anglicized Chinese surname. The Chinese writing was signed by the same staff member with the original Chinese name in Traditional Chinese script.
My mom's two cousins (brothers) came to the US as doctors. One guy, probably the older brother, kept the original Chinese name, both the family name and the given name. The other brother actually changed his legal first name and last name. His first name starts with the same Latin letter as the Chinese given name; his last name is an anglicization of the Chinese surname. Put it together, and you can't tell he's Chinese just by name only.
As for me, I am a naturalized US citizen of Chinese descent. My US passport is the only thing that is valid; my Chinese passport is invalid/expired and just sitting in the house along with other important identity-related documents. My legal US name is really just the pinyin romanization of my Chinese name, and I haven't really bothered with selecting a western name for myself legally. I do that on employment forms under "Preferred Name". Only my close family members and friends know me by my full Chinese name 大名 / 姓名 and Chinese nickname 小名.
Most people don't change their name. Japanese citizens who are married to each other must have the same family name so usually you would take your spouse's name if their name is Japanese. In the past it was pretty common and people who've lived in Japan for a long time sometimes have a Japanese-sounding alias which they adopt when they naturalize.
This has been extremely informative as i plan on moving to japan to retire and live out my life there, your channel is as always amazing thank you.
One of your best videos, in my opinion. I loved the inclusion of the two guys at the end.
I'm always so impressed by the people you interview who come from non-English speaking countries that speak excellent English as well as fluent Japanese. They make the rest of us look like dum dums!
i wish someone like you would do similar interviews in korea!! this is so informative and entertaining at the same time
Interviewing the lawyers at the end was a really cool addition!
Hi Takashi-san, I really enjoy your channel. I thought all the people in this video had very interesting stories, and the immigration advice was excellent. Thank you
新しい日本人の皆さん、おめでとうございます！
I also imagined living in Japan after working in Japan on and off for 8 years. Somewhere in a small village, like Makinocho Nishihama or Kita-Kamakura. But life decided otherwise - happy with the memories, but sometimes I miss Japan a lot.
Takashii I a love your channel and video! I was curious if you could ask Japanese people "What are the top restaraunts or food spots that foreigners must try while in Tokyo." I would love to know what restaurants Japanese people want foreigners to try.
Another delightful presentation.
Lots of great info and tips!!!🔥💚🙏🙏🙏
Naturalized citizen here and originally from the Philippines! I relate so much with these people when they talk about how easier it is to travel with the Japanese passport. To add to that, getting naturalized made it easier for me to get a loan to buy a house and i was already planning to live here forever so i am glad I made that choice.
The process wasn’t hard, but it’s just a lot of documents.
hey! filo also here. would it be easier to be naturalized if you're married to a 日本人？ i'm currently learning JP and at N4 now. thinking of moving for work in a couple of years.
@@zuhachan It won't make a difference. You don't even need to married at all. What matters is your financial stability, work experience, language fluency, criminal and tax records, and whether you can contribute to Japanese society.
@@zuhachanit doesn’t really matter if you’re married to a Japanese or not. I’m not married but I’ve lived here for more than 13 years.
@@soulstice87 what kind of work do you do? must of needed some kind of skill to stay there for over 10 years?
@@fa0179 I work for a big IT company. Right after I graduated, I worked for a Japanese IT company and learned Japanese there. Got sent to Tokyo and enjoyed living here so I decided to stay.
