10 years later KZfaq recommend me this

5 and a half years later. Whenever I see videos like this I always wonder how the people in them are doing currently.

Man seeing all these old comments and watching this video 13 years later makes me feel sad knowing that some of you might not be here today. I hope everyone in this comment section and everyone in the video are doing fine and living their lives to the fullest. Thanks Katherine for documenting your life for all to enjoy. God bless y'all wherever you guys are. Though time seems to separate us across long lengths, just remember that I was expecting you to read this, whatever year you may be in. It's nice to know that you're here reading this comment friend, so much so that it warms my heart. So, how's your day going? Great, so far? If not, I sincerely believe you will do just fine. Like OE Fitness said, "At the end of the day it's night, and every little thing is gonna be oil-right. If it's not oil-right, it's not the end." By the time you're reading this, I might be a successful, prosperous person, and I want the same for you too. Or maybe I might be dead lol. Anyways, God bless you, my brother and sister in time :) GEN ZYZZ 30/05/2023, 10:59pm AEST.

Am i the only one who was just looking at the cleaness of the streets?

if a japanese girl spoke only in her language in US would be laughed by everyone ... english presumption

woahhhhhhh everythings... cleannnn! theres no dirt nor trash filling the streets! theres no gum on the floor and wall,Theres no filthy language on the desk nor writing! you can wear a skirt without to much fear! you can walk around without waiting and hoping you don't get hit and yelled at by a car! no ones rude! you don't have to turna round every moment to watch if your being followed! THE DESKS ARE CLEAN! theres no holes in the walls from people getting mad and punching a hole in them! I AM AMAZED.

-classic grassy banks on sides of river -classic all female school -classic cicadas -classic school grade hierarchy -classic slidey-door classrooms -classic sit around desk at lunch break -classic japanese bento box -classic classroom cleanup -classic bow before class starts -classic classroom rep -no classic after school club :( Overall, I am satisfied, if you add the after-school club you can have your own slice of life anime series, 12 episodes, unless your really good, I'll allow a 2nd season, 24 episodes (possible OVA's)

Japan looks like such a nice place to skate

Goes to Japan and just talks to everyone English, knowing full well they can't understand. Must be American.

この平凡で幸せな動画の後、東日本は津波に、熊本は大地震にあい、九州各地や全国的な豪雨災害でズタボロにされた 何気ない１日を全力で謳歌するのが日本の学生達の動画も 環境を作っているのも実は学生自身 この生活に憧れる海外の方も自分の力を信じて自分達の取り巻く環境を良くしていってほしい。 私はこの動画を見てもっと日本が好きになった。

And this is where all the weebs come to say "Oh I wish I could live in Japan, everyone is so kawaii and nice desu sugoi moe moe!!" No Japan is just like every other country, their economy is bad, everything is high priced, and people there are really not all that nice. Not everyone over there is full of happy sunshines and rainbows, and last thing they need are some weeabo ass foreigners thinking that when they come to their country, because they want to live in their anime worlds. Grow the fuck up. If you want to live in Japan, learn the language (Not watch Japanese Sub animes thinking you'll learn that way) actually invest the money in a class or a program where you can learn Japanese. Take interest in their culture and even modern culture. Try to study abroad there, and try to live there for 6 months, and think it's all of what you dreamed of.

"listen to how fast they talk" she is literally speaking at a pace you would talk with a baby oh my god

Omg if i had a teacher that talked like that i would've loved my classes everyone there sounds so freaking cute and they seem respectful omg i wanna go to japan

Oh god...look at how beautiful it is. It's so clean and the people look respectful. I wanna go so bad.

12 years later KZfaq recommended me this.

after 10 years youtube recommends this for me

Do you speak in their language? It's kind of weird because when you speak it looks like they don't understand you... -,-

10 years later I get this in my recommended and now I realize everyone in this video probably has family now

Its amazing how you can walk outside while its dark and not having to check if you're followed! Or how nice everybody is and decent with no mini skirts. I thought that they would roll them up to be shorter but they kept them long and nice!

I felt extremely uncomfortable the entire video because she did not attempt to speak any Japanese, and the girls look very confused and trying to understand when it should be the girl recording attempting to understand them.

The lack of even attempting Japanese in this video makes me cringe. I'm not American, but it looks bad on English speakers generally. Please, please try to learn the language and use it a little more. Japanese people are smart and considerate. I don't think they'd dream of coming to your country and speak purely Japanese, making no effort in speaking English. Imagine how that would look to you. Not great.

Everyone seems so friendly! :D

Does she even know Japanese? I think it'd be really uncomfortable to not know what everyone in your class is saying O.o

This is a real life anime. I want to be in Japan !

Woooooooooa like skul in the mang!!, like bike in the manga!!, like uniform in the manga,!! Like bag in a manga!!! Wooooooooaaaah!!! OoO!!!

This is the most realistic anime I've ever seen

I got a seizure from all the camera shaking

Don't you feel rude at all speaking English everywhere? I mean I watched a few minutes and you only spoke a few individual Japanese words, if I went to a non-English speaking country I would not force everyone to speak a language which they are not completely fluent in...

I love that they clean their classroom up afterwards. That's a great idea, something they should do over here in the UK. It'll teach kids how to clean up after themselves and teach them to respect their work environment much more. All they'd need to do is add an extra half hour to the school day. A class room full of kids all cleaning would have it done in no time.

Japan looks awseome, I wish I could go there some day, everybody seems so friendly

15 TRAINS? 4 BUSES? AND A LONG WALK? *HELL NO.*

Does anyone notice the correlation? They clean their own school, and when they grow up they keep their streets clean. Superior

This is absolutely wonderful and makes me want to take another vacation to Japan! I love their everyday lives. Thank you so much for sharing!

You're so lucky to be an exchange student in Japan =( I can tell that it's really fun in there by means how they talk all friendly in class without selfies and bad mouthing their friends...waaa

The girl at 5:36 eating her lunch is stealing my heart. She's adorable.

Got recommended this video just now and realized that all of these students probably are married with kids now. It just reminds me of how fast time goes by 2009 just seemed like yesterday. Wonder how the person that took the video is doing, is she still living in Japan? And yes of course the video is shaky because of the technology at that time. And why wasn’t she speaking Japanese when she’s a student at a Japanese high school?

Amazing documentary of Japan 's high school life. Love Japan & thanks for making.

Reminds me of Kindergarten. You know with the uniforms, and the bus rides, and friendly people. There's not much of that where i am now XD

To everyone saying does she even know Japanese? Keep in mind this is intended for English viewers so she wouldn't be speaking Japanese. If you transfer to any country you have to learn some of the language and Japanese is hard to learn. Doesn't mean she doesn't know any.

この動画、前にも見たけどやっぱり楽しい。いい動画だと思う。鮮やかなブルーの制服がいい。バスもブルーだし、内装めも。

Japan is the best country to spend High School time :D

I wish I could go to Japan and go to highschool there. =( Even if only as an exchange student.

This is already 9 years ago......and i still remember watching this.life is so fast sometimes

Deep down in their hearts they want to punch her. So very very angry.

I wish I did this when I was a schoolgirl. This looks so awesome! It also explains a lot of behaviorisms and stuff in manga to me.

Cool video but they really don't speak very fast? :/ maybe you think that because you don't speak japanese but to me it sounds normal

I love Japan and I wish I could go there some day. Everyone in Japan are so kawaii and Japan all together just looks amazing and everyone seems really nice and friendly x3 Unlike here :P

And this is why most Otakus would be disapointed going to Japan. They theink the girls look like Takagi and Mai from Anime...this is what they really look like. Plan...and dull..

You made a great video! I'm a Taiwanese,and I used to know about Japanese culture from comic books,however, it may not be that realistic. You're video shows the real way they live,and I think being an exchange student must be a wonderful experience! Thank you for making and putting up this video~.

I'm going to be an exchange student next year in Japan and this made me so excited, thanks for posting!!

Well... I guess I'm pretty stupid for thinking I'd see Goku fighting Frieza in the sky while at the same time seeing a bunch of very short skirted, sexy as fuck anime girls as they are trying to get the attention of the emo guy with the great hair who apparently has no sexual hormones raging through him whatsoever while the perverts are having nosebleeds and crying out to the heavens on why that guy get's all the girls and they're stuck watching, and all while very stupid yet strong guys are stuffing their mouths in the buffet as the crowd of civilians are shocked, causing them to have their arms in the air with horrified expressions after seeing those people's apparent bottomless stomachs, which causes them to ignore that they're family members are having an incest relationship and all that good stuff. :(

This video gave me a headache how shaky it is

Some of these comments are just very rude, I like the video a lot and even though it shakes a lil I can tell a lot of effort went into it and it gives you a good idea of what its like in Japan. So Thanks

Once I learn enough Japanese and have enough money to travel, I am so going to Japan. I want to buy a lot of stuff there, including Tokusatsu stuff and Anime stuff that my room right now would be fill with so many Japanese items. And it would be awesome to have a conversation with a Japanese girl about yaoi lol.

the uniform looks exactly like sailor moon's uniform that is cool c:

I live in Australia and seeing the place. Everything's all concrete and crafted and tidy and plants are like rare and behind blocks of stone…it makes me feel claustrophobic in a weird way. Like, not being able to touch a tree or grass (or dead leaves even) every 5 steps is NOT NORMAL for me.

I know how weird it is to film in a class, especially if you're foreigner. Thank you soo much for sharing!

Japan is awesome. I would really love to go there someday. Their high school life seems very fun and I like their festivals. You know, kind of like the school cultural festival. :3

Oh My god remind me lots of memory from my high school years, it was super duper fun. This video is as fun as how me and my friends were in high school, eating lunch together, studying together, going home together...Even cleaning the classroom was fun; unlike America, Asian schools' classes have a certain number of students and we stay like that for a whole year. Gosh I just wanna go back to high school.

Got recommend after 11 years

Wait, so this girl can understand a whole Japanese class but she can't say video in japanese?

the chick with the broom was actually cute.

Jesus....doesn't this chick know anything in japanese???? she keeps talking in english to these girls when they clearly don't know what the hell she's saying....you kept telling them to say "HI" to the camera...don't you know "HI" means yes in japanese? so i understand them being confused when you kept telling them to say "HI" to the camera. even i know some japanese yo.....

Wow, I really love Japan *-* I'll go there next year with a few classmates and I'm so excited x3

I want to live in Japan >~< Why can't i just rebirth ewe

Sadly won't be able to move to Japan till I become a university student. But I'm very excited to see my Japanese friends again :) Japan is such a wonderful country.

One piece poster in the bus!

How the hell did this come up in my suggested videos?

can she not speak japanese?

Japan is such a beautiful place I wish to go there and the food looks great.

I like how she greets her classmates with "Mushy mush" at 3:56

Going To Japan Is My Dream But Studying In Japan,Oh God HEAVEN!!!

うわー！11年前！！　みんな元気でな～

this must be a huge improvement learning to speak Japanese to other classmates

Imagine having a 720p camera in 2010 truly a amazing thing

videos like this just make me want to visit Japan so much more. I think my main issue with where I live right now is the lack of movement. Anytime I need to get anywhere at all, I have to have some kind of transportation, there no detours, or back streets, it's all one way everytime. I want to move to Japan to a place similar to this, where I can walk around and explore, and there is always something to do or see, I guess I feel like it's more independant. And I also love the culture and food :D

I see that many people like to do the peace sign.

Nice and Enjoy to go to school 😁God bless everyone to happy 💕 God loves You

I would love to go to Japan. the food looks interesting and good. The Japanese kids sound so nice.

i did not see any octopus, why?

I would love to go to Japan for 6 weeks 😍 their schools look so nice and Japan sounds so fun :) but i am American :/ But honestly I would love to go be a foreign exchange student anywhere in the world. You must be out of school now? This video is old. When I grow up, I want to move to Japan and have my family there. It's my dream. Wish I could wear a uniform

KZfaq recommending this to me 14 years later

Why's everyone telling her to speak more English? Nigga she's the one living in Japan not you all. Cut her some damn slack. US and Japan share different cultures all the time. Get over it

Wooooow..... The uniforms are just like the ones that are portrayed in manga...... This is really awesome... Thanks for posting this video to let us know! I also want to do an exchange now....

I'm going to move to Japan. One day...

Oh my god this was so cool! I wish I lived in Japan it seems so fun! Thanks for showing me the side of Japan!!😍

11 years later KZfaq recommend me this.

It reminds me a little bit of college. We always had to clean the classes after using them. It's good to teach responsibility but I've heard stories of younger children struggling, for example, to reach the top of the blackboard and teachers basically not being allowed to help because it's not the way it is. :/ It's strange.

2:21 for my people that live in America when was the last time you seen a broom like that

I was an exchange student a few years back and I had a horrible time learning some of their language and culture. The best way to learn for me was to practice at home and then go speak and listen to every word and pronunciations heard. It helped a lot, and if you go to Japan you REALLY need to visit this place called a Izakiya, you will meet lots of friendly people and you will be surprised when you can start to understand words they are saying. I was eating dinner and having a drink then my ears perked up when I understood a few sentences this guy was saying a few seats behind me. I'm also gonna start the JET program soon to help teach teenagers how to speak English when I get my bachelor's degree in half a year. I'm so excited to go back, and btw it's not anywhere near close to what anime makes Japan out to be, unless you go to Akihabara (weeaboo paradise). And be prepared for everyone to stare at you like a motherfucker. One more thing is don't make the mistake of mishearing a guy say something racist and throw him to the floor, I almost gotten deported for that shit (but it was my fault and I accepted my punishment).

I love how Japanese school kids are always excited and fascinated when foreign exchange students video tape them.

Don't you know a bit of Japanese to speak to them? If I had the chance to be a foreign exchange student I would study the CRAP out of the Hiragana and Katakana and a bunch of basic Kanji...just saying.

なんか見たことあるなと思ったら地元だ！ 故郷を思い出させてくれてありがとう🥰

6:00 "I don't know what this is, but I'm going to eat this anyway" sounds like something I'll be doing occasionally during my stay in Japan as well xd

Are the skirts always so long? o-o

Is it sad that I find this cool bc it looks like anime?

13 years later yt recommend this video. All these people have grown up now probably they'll be getting into their 30s soon. It felt so nostalgic I don't know how or why. I hope all them are living their lives happily

I love Japanese people and Japan as well. I love them sooooo much I could literally cry.

Le mom : " darrling, are you in your room? where are you?, Le boy: "Im in somebodys shoes maaaa

This video is very shaky and kinda made me sick D;
