In Japanese culture, to smile was seen as some sort of deficiency. But times are changing. With increasing international business the Japanese are forced to conform. Entrepreneurs are setting up schools where Japanese learn how to express themselves and smile at foreigners. Results can be mixed...

This guy literally has to wipe the sweat off of his forehead because smiling was that difficult for him.
😂 I love Japan but they are a weird ppl. Dude really was struggling with every fiber of his being to smile as if it was a monumental endeavor.
It's like one of those Star Trek episodes where the Vulcan or android or Borg learns that emotions aren't so bad after all

Wow, a workout for smiling.. Incredible..
did they never laugh during their childhood
Hahha I laugh so hard your comment
No..that why their need class for smile.😀
How about all that japanese comedy shows?
Why are these robots not programmed with personalities?
Well it certainly seems that they've learned in recent times
are there still any smile schools in 2018?
They have to be taught to be human? I naturally smile since birth. In my birth pictures I smile with eye contact.
Yeah..they need to learn how to smile with others people..
They mean smile in business situations for customers, fake smiles.
5:50 I don't trust this guy
Cool documentary. I was in Japan last year and I noticed no one on the street would smile back at me (customer service was always very friendly though, but this would be a job requirement). As soon as i returned to Australia everyone would smile back. I am in malaysia and they too smile back. Also i in Japan if my girlfriend waved at a small child the parents would freeze up and freak out and try to ignore what was happening. Every other country i have been to people try to encourage their child to wave back and be social. Japan, which is well documented, has a social skills and acknowledgement issue - i do remember walking past a house and the persons front wall was a rock climbing wall, i complemented the owner on it and he was happy i was impressed by it, he had his small kids and my girlfriend waved to them and they didnt know how to deal with it - an hour later we walkes past on the other side of the.street and the owner and kids obviously noticed us and we waving frantically at us an so happy. Basically i think lack of confidence, experience and social acceptance causes many japanese to be socially awkward and restricted l.
Smile..smile make us young and friendly.
Lots of smile from KL..Malaysia

Malaysian here! Hello
@@kz-gm9wd hello..they need class for smile..omg..
cuz yall weird u cant wave at a kid
u obiously a pervy
I don't find it weird, in many eastern European countries including mine we don't smile much either, at least not in public. It's just a cultural thing, we're smile if we genuinely happy and don't fake it. If we see a stranger smiling at us on the street we see him as suspicious.
Suspicious of what exactly?
0:31, that guy is bored already, just looking at his watch.
What the hell was that

Wei

ikr
shaneclone15,
U killled me...ROFLMAO
Damm even the new Air robot's have more expressions than these people LMFAO
1:24 why would Japanese look like that 😂?
Bulshido!
I love stoic faces ! 😐❤
It's weird but let me tell you, having stoic face is tough.
In our culture we always smile whenever we meet someone or look at someone even strangers we even talk to strangers. Even in my religion (islam) smiling at someone is a good deed. They really need to change and gain socail skills
Some of those bussiness guys are just hopeless cases :P
I am going to say the japanese "bruh"
*Yooooooooooo*
Hello..just smile..why so difficult??oh man..SMILE😁😁
@@yuyoshida2076smiling is not taught, you just have to do it without fear. Why is it so hard for them?
@@-_Somebody_ This is why ignorance… So many people just can’t put themselves in others’ feet.
If you’re going to say something, be aware that you DON’T fully understand the situation the group of people are in; in this case you don’t know Japanese society enough to find a reasonable justification for this concept to exist.
All I can tell you now is, just understand that these other people may not be in the same situation, or even world as you, you rich, pure, happy child.
@@yuyoshida7359 I am sorry to find that out. I hear so many good things about Japan though I have never been. As so many people I now have it on their bucket list to go to Japan someday it genuinely sounds like a good place to be. I also thought that due to the increased life expectancy I assumed they must be happy? I have a lot to learn you, thanks for your reply.
@@yuyoshida7359 oh, and we Americans are not all rich lol. I wish I were but I don’t make NEARLY enough to fit that tax bracket 😂
@@-_Somebody_I know, but we still take so many things for granted: Having the right to feel anything whenever we want, being allowed to make simple mistakes without being punished. Not having to live in constant paranoia and terror alone is such a privilege to some individuals.
On the other hand, if you have to go through such things, like being hit for smiling at the wrong time, being laughed at for making the smallest of mishaps, societal pressure is nothing to scoff at for ordinary individuals.
So yeah, you may not be rich, but you’re not in a prison of societal expectations that force you to act accordingly only.
Really Japan! Smile school 😧.
Am I doing it right SMILE MASTER 😬
Smile for a mile, frown for a pound.
Funny how rude the interviewer was.
shaneclone15,
