Sorry guys, numbers are off by one from No 4 "Nodding culture".
Anyway, let me know what your thoughts are on what I said. By the way, I feel like I need a better microphone...
You speak perfect English and you are one of those japanese which look cute without smile 😊
I agree with these things being south Asian most of the things are relatable and Ofcource Japan is well developed country so probably it should have change and ppl living there does feel the difference of west 🌏
Nah your voice felt like butter in my ears 😐
I love your honesty, i think you could benefit from reading the book three magic words. It’s perfect for your young mind.
In Canada I work construction, we work hard but mainly 8 hours 5 days a week. I rarely overwork
@@memooo6973 If you have butter im ears you cant hear anything 😐
In the UK, overwork is also normalised, but not to the extent of Japan. However, not many workplaces have paid overtime. This is a big issue we are having at the moment.
Really now?! huh... I thought Switzerland were one of the Europeon countries that put more hours to overwork but yet maintains being one of the happiest places to live in.
Same with malaysia even not busy
It's healthy to complain, Problems won't get solved if no one brings them up. Keep up the awesome work!
Your comments are so thoughtful and considerate while you gently bring up things that could be changed for the better. I really appreciate that tone and it absolutely makes you stand out.
It's definitely hard to get out of the crowd and say something in Japan. I applaud you getting out and speaking up. 🥰 Enjoy a good and healthy life bro
Thanks for your good information! Keep making videos describing your opinions on wherever you go!
Your videos are amazing, I would _love_ to see more videos like this too! Much love from England
great lil breakdown of Japanese culture was really informative cant wait to go visit Japans beauty!
I’ve lived here most of my life but when my friends tried to enter the country, it’s hell. There’s mountains of paperwork to get a visa for Japan
Hi Jin, for someone who does not smile or laugh, you made me smile and laugh with your experiences and story in a good way. I can understand and tell that you has lived here in Europe. Also these kind of problem is like that all over the world.☺😅. Just come back to Europe to work or to study some more. And please make more videos both short and longer ones. You have a very beautiful country.
Your English is really good! I enjoy seeing Japan from your perspective
Good to see you back 😊
Im a English speaking American and in my opinion, you did a wonderful job with pronunciation. And you looked very natural in front of the camera. Great job Jin!
Mine: Japanese guys ghosting me without a reason
This happens so much TT_TT
@@purpleprincessa too much..
What's ''ghost'' mean in verb
I feel this...
@@user-pt2rg1ww6z ghosting means disappearing/leaving
Great video! Thank you for sharing with us :)
Wait, number 6 is done in a lot of countries too. They’ve done that to me in Colombia, in the United States, and Spain. In Okinawa, Japan no one told me how I looked when I tried clothes on 😅
I just wanted to pop in and say your English is just fine! Yeah you had some moments where things weren’t correct, but that’s okay! :) I’m learning Japanese and I’m sure I mess it up a lot haha. I’m happy that you’re enjoying the English language. c:
Hey, no offense but You're is technically "you are" so what u wrote was basically: You are English is just fine. You use You're in these situations: You're very beautiful!, you're very pretty! Like this, when your talking about their Mistake, good deeds and also complimenting them! Hope u aren't offended :D
@@NoahExilityEditz No it was a typo lmao. XD No biggie! I’ll fix.
@@bee1411 oh! okay :P
@@NoahExilityEditz Yeah! :) I’m a native English speaker, so I understand when to use you’re and your, but if I wasn’t I would have really appreciated that tip! So thank you! :)
@@bee1411 your welcome :)
Btw I liked that info about negative points that you mentioned. Actually in japanese stores I had sometimes bad and good service. Sometimes they were rude and unfriendly. Maybe because I was a foreigner.
Hi Jin I like your videos and your English is amazing 👍👌
He's lives and understands the culture..we must learn respect there land and customs, know mainly they dislike us visiting..been there, but it's been awhile....1976 ish...what I learned is NOT to count change in front of them also
Why
@@roberthunt1117 it was disrespectful and they really enjoyed the haggle of goods also which to this day I can't haggle
Hello bro. I'm a new subscriber from the Philippines. I first saw your short video about eating ramen but don't have to say anything to order.
About the not using the self checkout, from what i see we have a bit of that here in Sweden too.
I find it to be a positive thing, as i breeze past the 10m queues to the manned checkouts and go to one of the (almost always) free self checkouts. =)
We use them a lot here in the UK too. My bugbear, however, is people not putting their scanned items in a bag straight away. So, we have to wait for them to scan their items and put them down (where bags are usually hanging), then wait further for them to put them in a bag! 😆
@@openorwap5412 I was kinda one of those before they changed the counter at the selfscan, but in the efficient way.
(quickly put everything out of the handbasket with the bars up, scanned them quickly (like 1-2 a second) and put them into my bag after purchase is confirmed.
This due to the random checks the system demands from a cashier, and they were thankful for me making it so easy for them to do it instead of taking it all our of the bag again.)
🙂

I’ve just come back from my first visit to Japan which I loved. I wondered why a lot of Japanese we met hadn’t really travelled much overseas (in New Zealand where I am from everyone travels and we are also very far away from everywhere). But it makes sense now, I didn’t realise Japanese workers didn’t get long holidays. We get a minimum of 4 weeks annual leave here, so a lot of people do long trips.
I think you're I appreciate this video I like your shorts but I really like this video. And your English is fine. I live in the US where I grew up in just a mistake that I grew up in 37 different dialects.
You're English is perfect!
Tbh idk why I keep nodding every time someone says something to me. I don’t do it on purpose though. My fear is that it may come up to ppl badly like: “bruh she doesn’t even care” or stuff like that. I don’t even know where that bad habit came from. 💀💀
I tend to nod a lot as well- while saying thank you, goodbye etc. It's odd ik xD
Giving my side of perspective from Pakistan is that if we decide to overwork or we have to do that with no other option than we don't get paid we have fixed salaries with bonuses sometimes
Hello I'm earlyy it's my dream to live in countryside Japan ✨️
yes, if in malaysia we are free there are hot and cold and there are two great seasons where many people like to come because the weather is good and you can feel the beauty of southeast asia, not only go to a country rich in culture, malaysia is even considered attractive because there is a combination of various races and religions
Regarding suits, and I mean suits worn by men in this instance, when I was in Cancun the air was SO humid and uncomfortable. However, working men were still wearing long-sleeved shirts and suit trousers. They didn't have the blazer on, but my goodness! I'm sure they're acclimatised, but I almost felt 'trapped' on their behalf. Surely short sleeves and thinner material trousers would be acceptable by businesses, considering the climate. Us women are allowed to wear summer dresses/skirts/long shorts, sleeveless tops/shirts, and sandals in the summer, but it seems universally, men have to suffer business suits whatever the weather. It seems terribly unfair.
Pleaseeee tell me what the music you use on you reels is called
I LOVE WATCHING YOU.. AND YOU HAVE A HANDSOME SMILE.... 😊🥰🥰🥰
I would love to travel with you..
bro what is that background music in your shorts videos
please tell me
Buddy, here in Bulgaria we are working 8-5. In the US and everywhere else around the world are 9-5. And my boss wants me to leave atleast in 5:05pm. He does not want me and my cowoerkers to leave exactly in 5:00. And I hate this - not because I have to work an extra hour more than they do in the US, but because we are being mocked
I need to spent 7 hours of drive even to get into another big city in Siberia, so it's kinda funny to hear that trips to Korea, Thai, China, Singapore etc are so distant from Japan.
in the netherlands we actually still use a lot of cash money, so its not really uncommon but i to prefer to pay with pin
For me and other people here in Canada, people don't like the idea of machines and automation completely taking over society. People are already becoming noticeably less social, so avoidance in using self-check out or cards for payment is sort of a way to resist against the change, even if it's less convenient.
Good video and channel, keep it up!
Jin I am in love with you 🥺
Weird that overworking is normalized in Japan. We don't have it here in The Netherlands, I don't think so at least. If I have to overwork, I get paid 125% of my hourly salary. Even then, I can still say no to my boss, I'm not required to stay.
this is because relationships in society are formed differently. neither is good or bad. both have good and bad sides.
Wtf you get payed for overwork??? 🤨
@@IchibanOjousama I do! It's suppose to be that way in my opinion, it's your free time that they're taking away.
In America it depends on the company. Most times overtime is normal pay plus half . And working on sundays or holidays is double. Yeah it sucks up until payday.
@@IchibanOjousama If you dont get payed for overwork, leave your company!
They can get new employees when they fire you for getting a burnout or too long sick leave but you cant get your health back.
You smile with your eyes.
What is the name of the song or music you use in the shorts video
Did you find out?
Can you help with a query about getting tickets to studio Ghibli museum?
Overworking is normalized in most countries it just depends on the type of work and the business you work for.
Number 3 and 12 will help Japan in the long run.
What's the background music you often use in Shorts....?
With all due respect , Japan is actually trapped in a time wrap of the 1800s，reminding me the Victorian era in the UK with all its strict prim and proper .
i can feel yoru vibe.. idk why
stinky train in summer
me from india: oh you have no idea mate
That's why I don't buy anything in store just shop online
When I'm in Japan, I pay with cash because I have some cash in the United States and when I go to Japan I go to the bank to cash it out into yen so I don't have to go open a new credit card 😅
Nobody:
My subtitles: we dont have trash beans on the street

1. I always felt that Asian people do smell less in general, at least here in Switzerland. We have a lot of tourists and when a bunch of American, UK, wherever people walk beside you, you smell the sweat and the car smell they sat in for the whole day. If Asians walk beside me, I usually smell nothing or decent perfume. My ex from Vietnam also didn't smell at all for me. I think it depends on the genes, of course the heat and what you work.
I also like the self checkout very much. I only go to the cashier when I want to buy cigarettes or Alkohol. Or if I scrapped my last coins together to get something to eat, cause not every self checkout takes coin's..
The thing with the nodding we also have in Europe, just slightly different. We do something like: oh an then? Hmm, I understand..Yes.. Hmm.. 😉
I love Korean skincare but I can't stand too much advertisment also. I know what I want.
I totally agree with the suituation. But I would like to see you in a suit 🕴️😉
how old are you and would you recommend going to japan as a 21 years old
It's actually interesting to see Japanese people complain about Japan. I've never been there myself. 6:19AM 11/4
I totally agree! There is no diversity there. Very limited opportunities. Economy in Japan is not growing and yen is getting cheaper and cheaper everyday. It is still a great country to visit, but not to live in!
I'd love to visit Japan but not living- I agree with ya🤭
君 の ダジャレ 就いて スーツ が 面白い でした xD
It is funny to see a Japanese person who lived in the Netherlands because I am a Dutch person who is going to study in Japan😂
Just waking up to news of the earthquakes in Japan, Stay safe Jin
Shortsコンテンツめっちゃ良くて登録しました。頑張ってください！
i can feel yoru vibe
I don't understand the full trains. What if you are standing in the middle and you need to get out, but you can't move?
overwork and too many workhours is what i hate about japan too, else id probably try to work in japan.
good vid
he is sooo cute :3
Not using desodorant and nodding are just Asian thing
I still don't know
That's how you talk.
Ah, in this country if your base salary is only earned by more than 8 hours of work per working day, that’s an offence under the labour law. 😅
You're so cute!!😍😍😍
Mine: I just arrived home to USA from Japan.
I don’t like the xenophobic atmosphere. The prejudice and the rules for different peoples… a Us vs. Them mentality.
Also, I went to Thailand after Japan. Everywhere in Thailand I went (store, restaurant, street food, etc…after greeting me “Sahwahdee Khaa” all the Thais could speak to me in English. But in Japan, extremely rare for any Japanese in the stores, markets, malls, restaurants (even in McDonald’s!), taxi drivers, train stations, etc… No English speakers! Even in the Kansai Airport, the workers spoke to me In Japanese! I’m a foreigner from America- a tourist! How is it the natives in a 3rd world country speak English (good English at that!) and in a 1st world country (Japan) Japanese don’t speak English?! To find is extremely rarely!) Thank goodness for Google translate! 😮😂
I don’t like that people are not friendly on the streets, don’t talk to each other, don’t talk or whisper on the trains, don’t say “excuse me” etc… the Japanese have a very conforming society and everyone seems to fear of offending or doing the wrong thing and think subconsciously they are being “watched.” There is very limited interaction… I don’t like the 2-face Japanese culture (one in front of you and one in back)- & not freely expressing their true feelings. The people are rushing thru the train stations, the streets, etc… no friendliness, no smile, just looking stressed-out and in a hurry everywhere. It would seem difficult or take a long time to make really good / honest friends.
One thing I do like- you can ride your bicycle to the store, go shopping, come outside and your bicycle is still there! I like the limited crime culture! 😊
reasonable things.
This is funny that asian people think that they doesn't stink or produce way less sweat than others. This is not true😄
That's true tho, over 70% of white and black people have underarm odor, but asian is about 1%.😄
@@user-ir5in7iv4k 😄 what about buryats, mongolians, chinese, yakuts, kalmyks etc? All of them stinks pretty normal.
@@brunetka_361 LMFAOOO
MYou just go to just go to Japan I mean in Canada
Bro. All the points you mentioned in this video might seem like problems to you because you are from Japan and I respect that. But in reality, Japanese people are best at behaviour, politeness, friendliness, and much more. Here in my country and also some other countries, sometimes we don't even have the necessary services available. Overwork is normalised in many countries. People maybe polite and may have good behaviour, but they are not as good as Japanese people. There is a reason why japan is also known for people with very good behaviour and politeness. Japan has one of the lowest crime rates in the world. Anyways, thanks for sharing your thoughts. Have a great day 👍
I'm an Asian and I use deodorant everyday 🤔 Not the antiperspirant though
Which kind?

Things I don't like about Japan
1- Rooms are too small
2-People don't speak English well
3-Summers are too hot
4-Websites are difficult to navigate and not user-friendly

1-You ignored my last sentence.
2-How stupid can one be to presume that everybody who speaks English on social media is American? English isn't my vernacular language either, but someone who's uneducated as you, wouldn't know the difference.
3-I replied to the account owner, Jin, not to you.
How stupid are you? How are you going to tell me I ignored your last sentence? Do I have to acknowledge it? Go ahead and keep talking about how "uneducated" I am and see what happens. 7:17AM 11/4
@@DoomIIMaster I stand by what I've said. I replied to Jin, not you. It wasn't meant to offend him but as an add-on.
I shall reiterate these statements;

I don't like suits either. Japanese should wear kimonos 😹
Over here in New York city. There is an issue with overcrowding and stinky or dirty trains although it isn't really our issue. Rather the clowns who run our city like morons. No we don't have really a choice who runs it .

If weed was legal I would definitely move to Japan
Bruh the thumbnail is sus💀
Maybe japanese ppl are old school so they still use cash and not self-service
Love u Love u
How about protesting instead of complaining?
Coz complaining through CZcams won’t fix these social issues specially those related to overwork or people’s recent behavior like smoking in public (which you didn’t even mention)
Just one thing to mention, trains get stinky because of drunk people specially at night, it’s not a season problem, man.
I thought he was a girl because the voice in the CZcams short but when I hear his voice I was shocked lol
