😂😂😂😂

my mind is blown away

your mind

Lol yes

😆 took me a moment to understand this.

I know right...

No wonder their pop culture is so pop and colorful and crazy ! You need some spice in your life lest you die

Cobalt225 a video about positive aspects doesn't get clicks... I have a Japanese wife and I have a good relationship with her parents, I think. The biggest issue perhaps is that you don't really ever know what people really think, but they treat me really well as have all of her family. But it's probably a lot to do with me stepping up to meet their expectations a lot more than maybe a lot of westerners would, like I committed to and followed through on marrying her right away and very quickly after that we had a son, in fact the first in that branch of the clan/family and I follow and respect their customs completely. But they are not accepting of not following their customs, at least not old school traditional people. Like if you have a tattoo you are a criminal and not allowed anywhere near anyone like that, just to pick one thing. Like in the video... they simply don't care about what western people or any people of any other culture do, they judge everything and everyone through their own cultural lens. And you can't hide tattoos from your in laws in Japan because you have to go to Onsen with them eventually and wear sort of small yukata. They don't tolerate piercings either for example, or any voluntary body modification, because they see it as an insult to your ancestors who contributed to the way you were born. I understand that attitude from their perspective but it's very difficult for most westerners to understand.

Ya. Just when I thought it couldn't get worse then this...

This will be the downfall for Japan's future

@Monokuma no no I'm not upset at all. I try to be funny. can you show me the quote that show I'm upset? I watch anime too and I like to make jokes

@Monokuma I was being sarcastic when I commented about disappearing parents in anime reflects society, which to me relates. and no, of course not.

And so much lying happens already to save face… Maybe it feels easier to just keep up the lie forever 😔 Sometimes there are only bad options.

Ever been to japan? They’re already psychologically damaged and everyone is lonely You try to befriend a person and talk to them about their hobbies and all they can tell you about is work or work related Everyone is like a robot over there, respectful but robotic Rest of the world works to live Japanese live to work

So true. This is deeply dark and distressing to think about

It would be better if she had no father i guess

In Conan's show they said that a contract can last up to 30 years. By that time the child is old enough to handle it.

totally agree

God bless America. Anything is OK here.

Mike Tomas if you say so but they’re the ones who are accepting it’s ok to feel lonely

It largely used to. There is the "wabi sabi" philiosophy of zen Buddhism which states to appreciate the beauties in imperfection, admiring the simple elegance of, for example, a crooked path on a foggy Autumn morning. Perhaps this idea has become lost with Westernization, which admires the perfect symmetry of a 6 pillared state building or the nuclear family. I think a lot of the world would benefit from using Wabi Sabi as a guide to relax and admire the imperfections of life just as the great Japanese philosophers of old did.

@@camerongunter6232 as a Buddhist my self..i totally agree with you my friend 😊

Counselors don't make much money and people who use them are stigmatized. 😔

@Radu Cris no offense. But that's wrong. Well it depends if the person even wants to get out of there and how good the therapist is.

It's that notorious Japanese pride. Bushido. And Radu Cris, you're right in a way. Clinical therapy isn't the end all. I had to combine counseling with spiritual study for myself.

We can consider this an alternate form of family.

Asian countries including Korea hate Japan because they do not apologize to the victims of the past and recognize their poor history compared to Germany. In addition, if Japan continues in this situation, Japan is not able to have a happy future with Japan and other Asian countries because Japanese people are educating Japanese students to misleading history. Poor Japanese people. So sad.

Clapssssssss

Is there a part 2 ?

Boom

This should be a movie...

The plot thickens👀

It's because of social pressure to be indépendant.

I have the feeling it’s more about not creating any kind of conflicts. This seems to happen inside a family but is also true when it comes to conflicts that might be taken outwards to save face in front of others. It’s almost as if people can’t take on difficult topics that will effect people’s emotions. Hence they are stuck with their own emotions and can’t solve them because often this would effect another person. And it seems logical when you think about what the man in the video said. Often Japanese children are alone at home and the parents are working late. It saves trouble when the children don’t make trouble...but to not stir trouble they lack communication. You can’t use what you haven’t learned....

vwgenera =-=

vwgenera you sound like one of those people wearing a hakenkreuz bind claiming that one should be wary of every Jew, because they all lie, extort and are generally bad bad people. The 18th century is overage and the war clans don’t exist anymore. Yet here we still hear people using the past to talk bad about everyone of another country in a very general way.... this is called culturalism and is just another form of modern racism.

@@YouYou-sm8tf I really don't think this is the reason. In the USA, we are raised to be fiercely independent. A service like this, in USA would not become popular unlike the Japanese, independence means that you have self-expression and don't allow the society to dictate to you your norms.

Maybe it has a different meaning/vibe to Japanese people. (Could mean like "platonic love")

it sounds like a movie title

Actually Japanese people have a really different interpretation of the word romance. They think it is general love between family members. If it's about the word romantic, then they relate it with their partners.

it is possibly the best name for the operation , why not

*SWEET HOME ALABAMA-*

Its better then what often happens with no father at all in their lives. Even a lie still helps the child have a role model of what a male is like. But best to be honest as soon a spossible, of course. Still, its complicated, and honesty is really not even often the best. Parents have the right to not tell kids things. Because kids are not the ones earning money or raising the household.

It has probably happened at some poiny

They prob think he was cheating, run home to tell mom & be bewildered as to why she isn't upset at the news.

I would have prefered a loving father even if it was an act, who wasn't really my father, so that I could at least have that feeling and stability, than a biological father who walked away when I was born and step-fathers who were all abusive. I also have a grandfather who is not biologically related to me, but he has always treated me like he treats his own, and I love him dearly. Meanwhile the biological grandfather who he replaces... I don't even know his face, I hardly know his name. I've never met him, and I know nothing about him, yet he's apparently been alive all my life, and I've heard nothing. I don't know if he even knows I exist. Feeling loved is the most important thing in this world.

Westerners pretend to be progressive with all the SJW stuff, but in reality they are incredibly judgmental. A lonely westerner will just end up committing suicide or doing a slow version of one through pills, alcohol poor eating etc. Japan also has a suicide problem, but it is lowering while it is skyrocketing among men in the west.

very awkward question to ask

Breaks my heart too. Searching for words to explain why.

no you are coworkers 😂

Have you tried beating them? 😂😜

no no... lol!

I lived in japan too and its seems like that japanese are really quiet, shy and not tend to start a discussion with their coworkers . They dont really like foreigners, i remember the look on the face of some people when i said i was a korean , they acted oddly after that . Japanese way of life is really stressful too, but its also a great country with beautiful culture, good luck and enjoy your time there👍

Shy and communication is a real problem there tho.. idk why, seems they have complicated mind. I mean, they hard for express they own feeling.

I’ve had many personal contacts with young and old Japanese through work and hosting. Unfortunately the problem stems in their culture of politeness at the expense of suppressing true feelings. It has been ingrained in their psyche but the younger generation is becoming more westernised (for good and bad) because of global social media. Each and every culture - yours and mine - is imperfect. I’m a 73 year old Jamaican-born Chinese married to a European and lives in Australia - that’s the background for my observation.

@the dead lighter suga uses yes he is famous she must have known his true self

the dead lighter suga uses yes these days u can just upload a photo on google and find out about them.

@ Lala I'm pretty sure she already knows about it already but, still considers him to be her father because of what he has done for her when she was down in the ditches. I'm sure you know places like Japan, when other parents look down upon you even the children start to. She was probably bullied for having a single mother hence why she never wanted to go to school until her mother decided this couldn't continue and did whatever she could at the time to help her only daughter.

i think we should request asian boss to follow that girl's life, it would be interesting

I was about to wrote this

Reality is often stranger than fiction

I think something like this could really backfire if the child isn’t aware about what’s actually going on

Yeah and imagine when they do find out...I was raised without a father and I think it’s less painful than finding out you’ve been lied to this whole time :/

@@xvenacavax their purpose in hiring a dad is probably to have a fatherly influence in the child's upbringing, something very few(if any) mothers can really give. The problem is not which way would be less painful, but how well you can bring up the child since having both parents is optimal. If the child grows up into a well adjusted and strong person then they will be able to take it.

As an adult, this sounds cruel and unjust. But children are still in their development age where they learn the concepts of the society (morals) and mentally grow. Without these strong foundations and ability to create relationships, the children went be able to lead relatively stable and normal life.

I can see how he could be a good influence and foundation. It just sucks I guess but if they tell the children in the right way at the right time it will be ok.

Graphic Yea I wanna learn more about that ....

I second that!

Yes, Asian Boss please cover this, very interested in why disownment in Japan is so common. Many of your interviewees from your previous Japan-based videos have mentioned they have been disowned by family as well.

I was wondering the same!

Good topic. But for Asian culture it is usually about saving face, so if you bring shame upon your family they'd rather cut you off than deal with the repercussions of said shame. It varies from culture to culture just how extreme they are about it, but yeah.

Check out Werner Herzogs "Family Romance LLC"; its fictional but also kind of a documentary and features the CEO of Family Romance as a main character.

台客劇場耶！！

Dear frankie! Such a good movie

Yes I totally agree

This was definitely one of the best Asian boss videos I've seen hands down. The more videos you watch, the more pieces get put together on how Japanese society functions and the sort of cultural balance needed between (overt) saving face and (covert) direct honesty. It seems like if you're an honest person in Japan you can do really well by becoming a no. 1 host/hostess and when you're older, become a rental family member lol. The concern lies in why "honesty as a business" is such a lucrative industry. I wonder what's more profitable in Japan...Honne or Tatemae? The actual reason this CEO started this business is quite frankly, surprising, noble and illuminates the systematic disregard for anything that is outside of a nuclear family. I thought maybe a psychologist would help...but Japan has psychologists...and the issues that require Family Romance's services are more 'service' than 'solution'.

lemnlime66 Don't. It's a hot fix, but not a solution to the problem. You would accept to lie to yourself and as a result hate yourself for doing so. And just like the guy in this video, you wouldn't be happy. You can either search the dialoge with your parents or if it's really bad, distance yourself and get comfort by some of your close friends.

This doesn't solve loneliness at all. It's just a temporary comfort. At the end of the day the rented family will leave and you know they are just doing their jobs.

that doesn't look like a sound business strategy though.

Henachoko Fujoshi the rental daughter has soft heart, way to soft. she's willing to lose her client by helping him. if don't help him, maybe the real daughter will rent a fake dad for wedding as well.

Plot twist: the CEO hired someone for the to do the interview for him.

I am 100% that he is a hired (by the actual CEO) actor

Plot twist: someone who hired by ceo hired someone to act as ceo

Bruhhh

He tells them that he’s just an actor playing a CEO, and they believe him. So the real mystery is whether he is hired to play the CEO or he’s actually the real CEO pretending to be an actor?!?

These are professionals. Most likely, they will act as being part of his family (so they don't lose a customer), and then respectfully leave without taking much time (as it is unpaid). Probably also have a Pokemon fight or something though

I don't know, it indeed is a strange thing. I'm not Japanese but I am Asian, and even in my own family we don't really talk about our feelings or anything that is really bothering us. We kind of just deal with it silently until we no longer can endure it alone, and that is the only time it is spoken about.

It’s really horrible here! I see young couples all the time sitting at a restaurant or park and not even looking at each other, just at their phones. I worry about the next generation of Japanese.

@@worldpeace1822 not just Japan. It's a severe world problem that's increasing at high speed and should be acted upon as soon as possible. The more ppl delve into social media and the newest technology, the more likely they feel lonely on the inside. Not long ago a statistic was released in my country that said, due to smartphones, ppl are less likely to want sex and be affectionated with one another. There was also a campaign on the radio where children pleaded that their parents put the phone away and play with them instead. They are lonely. And there is a rental grandparents service in my country. Usually the take care of the "grandchildren" while their parents are at work and signed up due their own children not caring, being lonely or having non. They are happy if their service is rented and feel like they finally have a purpose again and role fullfil. It's beautiful and saddening at the same time, I think.
