Brother. Iam Try Japanese language know. Iam from Bangladesh ""

It's simple. The BBC is left leaning and pro-feminism, therefore anti-family and anti-male. Japan has traditional families with often male leads and they hate that, therefore they need to smear Japan.

You're damn right.

@@harles5000 I'd have to disagree with your math there. If you're already taking out sleep, work, and food; the 18% that you take out has to be taken out *in proportion* to what's left. In this case, since you have 29% left, you have to take away 18% OF 29%, which is (0.18*0.29=0.052) about 5%. So now you have 24% left, and if you do the 1/3 thing now, you'll end up with 8%. Still a small number, but over 218% of what you ended up with. Sorry if correcting math makes me sound like a prick, but making sure you do the math correctly means that people can't immediately discredit you for it. An actual response to your point about the amount of time we spend would be that we can't measure the significance of an action with how often we do it. For instance, using the same type of math, a generous estimate of the amount of time you spend with friends outside of work/school is less than 10% of your life. However, friends can be more significant to someone than just 10%. Also, despite sleeping for 1/3 of your life, people don't derive their personality from their sleep.

When western media sends its journalists to Japan, they are not sending their best... We need a WALL!!! But seriously, I have this theory that they send people to Asia because they don't want them there. But that's just a theory.

Yes Yuta! A WALL against bad journalists going to Japan would be great! lol. The problem is those who manage major news outlets back in the U.S. Many of them have little to no international experience, yet they are tasked with managing reporting that comes from overseas. So when they need to fill a job in say, their office in Tokyo, they choose someone who THEY think would be a good fit. But many of these editors have no real international experience. Or if they did, they spent most of their time in ex-pat circles while overseas. My point is that the editors and hiring managers back at the American HQ don't know what traits to LOOK for in a Japan correspondent, or more broadly, an Asia correspondent. Take for example Blaine Harden from the Washington Post. He covered Africa for many years and then WAPO sent him to cover Korea and sometimes Japan, where he was a TOTAL DISASTER. Maybe he was a good Africa reporter, I don't know. But the thinking back in Washington was likely "we need to fill a post in Asia. Hey, this guy has covered news overseas! He's a great pick!" Harden was one of the WORST Asia reporters I've ever read. But the failure was not only his, it was editors and hiring managers back in Washington Posts HQ in DC, who simply assumed that since he could cover one non-American side of the world, he could of course cover another non-American side of the world. I guess no one told them that, while Africa and Asia are indeed outside the U.S., they are two vastly different continents with vastly different cultures. Another reason you are seeing such bad Japan reporting from WAPO, BBC etc is that the journalism industry in the US (and likely the UK too) is pretty corrupt in terms of hiring new people. Many outlets are required by their own policies to post job openings to the public (on jobs websites, etc), but in reality the hiring managers don't even read resumes that come in from people they dont know. In reality, they just hire their friends. That's usually not the way it works in most U.S. industries. In the U.S., you usually can get a job based on your resume and interview, not based on whether you know someone in the company. In fact, many non-journalism companies discourage such nepotism. But not in journalism. Journalism hiring is often based on WHO you know in the company. That's very un-American, actually, very backwards. Dynamic companies like Google, for example, will often hire people they've had ZERO relationship with, based on their qualifications. The best person for the job. Most American journalists are white, upper middle class liberals. So, when you have a lot of white, upper-middle class liberals with very little REAL international experience (hanging out with ex-pats in Tokyo doesnt count as REAL international experience), and they hire their friends, what you get is MORE white, upper middle class American liberals with very little REAL international experience. The trend just keep perpetuating itself. I'm not picking on whites, or liberals, or upper middle class people, because I meet two of those three criteria lol. However, my point is this group is lacking diversity of opinion. So for example, liberal journalists in Japan LOVE to promote the SOMEWHAT false narrative that Japanese women want to be just like American women. It's true there's an increased number of young Japanese women focused on their career. But as your video shows, there's also quite a lot of Japanese women who want to be housewives. And outside of Tokyo (I lived in Osaka for three years), there are even MORE women whose life's dream is to become housewives. They are educated, quite intelligent and savvy, but their choice is to become a housewife. American media would either ignore this, or promote some sort of false narrative that this is caused by male dominance in the culture etc. In reality, women in Japan who want to be housewives are perfectly capable of making their own decisions on that matter. Anyway sorry I wrote so much Yuta! Hope you find time to read it though. I'd be interested in your opinion on this. Oh, and your video on gender equality was GREAT! I especially liked the comments from one woman who said men in Japan also have it hard, since they have to work long hours. That type of nuance is missing from U.S. journalism in Japan. As I mentioned, you are a better reporter than most American reporters stationed in Japan. Keep up the GREAT work!!!!! What you are doing is REAL journalism! Much better than the Crap News Network (CNN) or any of those other phony outlets! lol

That Japanese Man Yuta A game theory! Sorry, wrong channel.

+ElectricPyroclast You got my reference right.

+Borderless News Online That's interesting. I've always wondered why western media just assumes that Japanese women want the same thing as western women, when just talking to a few (non-westernised) Japanese women is enough to make you realise that it's clearly not the case. If I remember it correctly, there are actually government surveys that show that they are more women who want to be a housewife than men who want their wives to be a housewife. But companies like the BBC completely ignore actual data and just keep believing their preconceptions. It's like they can't even fathom that people think in different ways in different cultures. (I have a feeling that they'd do a very bad job covering their own people from a different socioeconomic background.)

Not uncool, they're talking about people who make Anime the focal point of their lives, people who skip work and school to watch anime, and live in arrested development. Expect them to reach 30 and still be living at their parents house unwilling to find a job, or a wife and move on with life. But if you only watch Anime, during your free time when work has been taken care of, then you are COOL. Anime is devoid of anything serious in life and offers a distraction from reality, I think a lot of people who become Weeaboo-like are using Anime as escapism in order to escape from their real life. It's sad but they can change.

@@germangonzales2008 but why only anime. We all try something or the other to escape from reality every now and then, be it by watching anime or a tv series (english, k-drama, j-drama or anything) or by watching movies and even games. It's the same for everything, if you hamper your work by getting into something fictional way too much then ofcourse it can harm your productivity. We can't blame all these things because we can't stop the world around us but we can always learn to tame our mind.

​@@NvDuke Its the difference between wanting to escape your reality vs wanting to ENHANCE your reality. For some reason Anime seems to be the go to for early 20s youth that want to escape into a world of devoid of all serious topic matter. I feel like with J-Dramas, well the 90s ones I've seen, Long Vacation, Love Generation, these all have very heavy topics throughout them that would offer no escapism. Off the top of my head. A woman left at the wedding alter, infront of her entire family, she is rejected, and there is nothing she can do. A young man takes his crush on a date, she leaves with another man. The next day he finds out they had sex together. Seeing people younger than you, achieve what you wanted to but didn't. -Piano contest "Let's face it Sakamoto, we've failed so many times, there is no place in this world for a failure," -30 and single "Stop believing marriage is going to complete you. stop believing marriage is the key to happiness. This is why your so sad in the first place" my favorite - piano teacher and student. Sensei hears students piano and hears the pain with such force, he knows he is in pain. He invites him to dinner, he is worried about him. sensei -You are a sly one you know that, you PRETEND you don't mind being lonely, you pretend you are stronger than you are" "You know Sena (student) I love music too, with all my heart, but I've realized something. Music will never love me, Music will never ask me "are things okay?" Music will not put a blanket around you when you are cold Music will not hug me when my father dies. Music is not going to come to my hospital room, during my last moments of life, to spend the last I have on this Earth with me. Music WILL NEVER LOVE YOU BACK. "But the one, who awaits your return, who smiles the brighest just for you. Who wants nothing more to see your face and say 'how was your day babe'?" The one, who knows you're not as strong as you pretend to be." "The one who has seen you cry, and knows you are stronger for it, the one who hugs you and tells you "things are going to be alright, I promise you." she says to you, in her sonic embrace "Please, don't give up babe, it gets better, just please, don't give hope." For that one person, you can be free from the Japanese way of life, you cannot be angry at the Japanese way of life, it does not exist in that form. You must treasure that person, who smiles brightest for you, with all your heart. "There is no greater affection, than a person, who awaits your return." "Sena (student) please, I beg of you." "Don't give up on love." Sorry for the rant, but J-Dramas are incredible, and they delve into relationships and love WAYYY deeper than most anime, course there are exceptions, to me the greatest animes are the kind you CAN'T use as escapism, because the themese of family, love, and death are so blunt. One piece (1-300), deathnote, grave of the fireflies, INITIAL D (godly) Neon Genesis (brain food) My Love Story (J-drama level anime). There's many more, but these are definitely the holy ones. As you can see, I love anime, tv, all forms of escapism. But I do not support procasination escapism, distracting yourself with TV cause you don't wanna study, is shameful.

German Gonzales I would argue against that statement that “anime is devoid of anything serious”. A lot of my morals now are derived from lessons learned from anime as a kid.

I do watch anime only on scale that don’t go over that really weird stuff

My Life Japan 40% of unmarried people haven't had sex in the age bracket of 18-30 is still very high! So I'd say Japan still has a massive sexless problem.

if you actually pay attention to the data, and compare this number with the number of people overall, then you'll realize that a substantial majority of their population is married. So unmarried people constitute a minority, and among those people there's an even smaller minority of virgins. So no, it's not a "massive sexless problem".

Gregorius Zgonface Ok. I won't argue. Thanks for educating me.

Chili Sauce - my question is why the bbc is trying to push this?

Ashvin Vaidyanathan nah. BBC loves any passive emasculated men because the West is trying to push the narrative that masculinity is toxic. At the same time, they love strong sexless independent women. It's all to go against traditionalism. Japan has very traditional values and they are trying to break that image with propaganda like this.

Because a declining population is really quite the western agenda...

@@sonicfan73887 so they can justify "importing" certain people from certain parts of the world to solve the issue

RiceBae I think it’s probably just that drama about Japan just brings in a lot of viewers. TV stations are big money making machines, and everyone that works in them is, in some way or other, feeling the pressure to make money for the TV company they work for, trickling from the top where the CEO is trying to keep the investors that hired them happy, and moving down in the form of bosses at every level managing the people they have at their disposal to keep their own boss happy.

And if you do happen to go live there, leave Tokyo once in a while.

They never STFU about political correctness, diversity and denigrating white people, then go to Japan and propagate retarded stereotypes reminiscent of the Orientalism of the colonial era! North Korea should aim their nukes at BBC HQ and pull the trigger. Trump would look the other way ...

The whole Western media reporting on Japans sexless society is actually promoting anti-Asian men sentiment. This has been going on for decades through movies, politics and media. They're attacking Japanese/Asian men's sexuality to defame, degrade and desexualize Asian mens popularity around the world.

mpforeverunlimited, The world is more overpopulated than ever; maybe you didn't know that.

@@saints360row the world isn't, only certain countries. And most of the growth is coming from africa. Also with the social programs in most of the west and some asian coutries (like japan) the workforce needs to be significantly larger than the retired community. Maybe you didn't know

mpforeverunlimited, Only because they were expecting & relying on their government to provide 'retirement' funds and not themselves by saving enough. One reason why I hate the IRS.

The U.S. gets depicted as dumb, violent and has some massive military in the world news, even though the information is altered to fit the narrative.

Homer Simpson Japan is a modern, capitalist country, but it's not "Americanized". While Japan & the U.S. have had close diplomatic, cultural and economic ties since Commodore Perry's arrival, and Japan adopted/adapted many American influences during the post-war occupation, such influence is no more Americanizing than it is to say the French, Germans or the Italians. Remember that Japan industrialized in the late 19th century, and by the turn of the century, was equal to the great European powers economically and militarily, and even beat Russia at war. By the early 20th century, Japan had a thriving democratic government and was a U.S. ally in WWI. Then, like Germany and Italy, Japan chose a nationalist, military-dominated path for about 20 years. But post WWII, with U.S. help, Japan recovered to the relative economic position they held before the war, just as the Western European countries did (with American help), but again, without actually being "Americanized". Cars were invented by Europeans; Americans improved on their production in the early 20th century and spread consumer car culture around the world. But Europeans didn't become Americanized for it. The Japanese then further improved on production methods in the latter half of the 20th century and spread consumer car culture even more till Japanese car companies became the largest in the world. But countries that adopted Japanese production methods didn't become Japanized and more than Japanese car companies became Americanized earlier. Similarly, trains were invented in Britain and adopted in the U.S. Did that make us more Anglicized? Now the Japanese are world leaders in train technology (and the U.K. and the U.S. aren't)--does that mean the world is now Japanized? Nope. The Japanese, like the Taiwanese, love baseball, which was introduced to them by Americans. But Japanese don't care that much for American football or basketball (compared to Americans or to Japan's love for soccer). The Japanese political system, public school system, judicial system, healthcare system, etc., have more in common with European countries than with America's. Of course, because of our special relationship and the sheer size and innovations of the U.S. economy and mass culture, there is much interest in Japan of all things American and our influence is commonplace there (as it is elsewhere in the world), particularly in pop culture. But that doesn't mean the Japanese are "Americanized" by it. Just look at today's mass cultures in Taiwan, Hong Kong, S. Korea, Singapore and the large cities of China: the youth dress and act like Japanese, and their mass media (TV shows, talk shows, movies, magazines, pop music, etc.) are patterned after Japanese media, not America's. And the average Japanese had cell phones (Handy phones) and social media long before Americans did, so while Apple's iPhones are very popular now, the social networking culture there is distinctively Japanese. (The tens of millions of American Sony Walkman users were no more Japanized then in the '80s as Japanese iPhone users are Americanized today.) I think it's correct to say that the Japanese, like Americans and most Europeans, as well as many Asians, share a global culture and are modernized (post-modernized?), or industrialized (post-industrialized?), but not actually Americanized. I don't mean to blast your comment but it's a common misconception that leads to a lot of misunderstanding between our cultures and countries.

There`s actually a rise in STD plus the Love Hotel industry is worth $60 billion so how is Japan sexless ? The west only respects countries that fights back. It`s like in real life when you`re too nice then people will start stepping on you.

It's because Japan is generally more conservative than western society. Many westerners think this means that it is backwards and such (like, is oppressive to women, etc...), and thus have negative views of Japan.

@Homer Simpson As well as their own imagination capturing culture and history? what do you mean?

if you are OK with it, no one else needs to care. Don't let people meddle or tell you what you must do.

dothetwist298 email me. I'm 28 this could be start of something great 😉

dothetwist298 I don't think you are. When you're in your early 20's you have mixed priorities. You are either in college or you're working a dead end job that eats up all your valuable time. Hard to prioritize a long lasting relationship in your early 20's. You'll have a much easier time finding someone around your age group cause by then people already know what they want in a person and can make time. I'm speaking from a 28 year old myself. You'll find the right person though. No worries.

Jesus Mehalo Rodrigues You answered one of my questions. I was always wondering why people at younger ages do not want a serious relationship while young and just have flings or maybe some just for fun boyfriend on the weekends. I never did that when I was in my 20's but I noticed other people did and still do do that stuff. I guess they feel that they don't have time for a serious relationship.

Redo Yudistiranda Who decides on when it's not ok to be a virgin anymore?

bruceweel that's the way alot of journalism works now. Take the "opiod epidemic" they'll bend the facts like crazy on that. Like "100,000 overdoses a year" in their articles refers to all drugs, not just opiods. But because they put it in an article about opiods, you think they're all opiod deaths. Actually more people die of overdosing on antidepressants than opiods. Then they've decided to lump together heroin addict with people taking opiods for pain. The net result of this? My 90 year old grandmother is treated like a criminal for asking for medicine for her pain. And she is not the only one.

Mainstream journalism is no longer rooted in facts.

You all know that Japan is declining in population right? in fact; not only declining but because of its high life expectancy, it's aging very fast too. The guy also says that this is an unmarried poll and it changes everything but it really doesn't. "National Institute of Population and Social Security Research, showed the proportion of people who have never married by age 50 hit a record 23.37 percent for men, up 3.23 percentage points from the previous survey in 2010, and a record 14.06 percent for women, up 3.45 points." So about 25% of under 50 men are not married, who make up the lesser population percentage of japan. This is why the Population is failing and declining, marriage is failing but the results is at 12%. Japan has more old people than young, who when counting the married skew the results. Think of 5 60 years old and 1 20 year old being married and having sex and 1 20 year not having sex or marrying. while when you put both in, the results come out "1 in 6 not married or have sex" the actual important really is only the 2 20 years old who are split in 50%/50%. www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2017/04/05/national/1-4-japanese-men-still-unmarried-age-50-report/#.WaZd_tOGOi4

Average UK guy is similar to Japan? If poor Yuta tried to do these interviews in London streets they would rearrange his face with acid just for fun. Don't compare, UK is a pretty savage place these days. :p

Ok, but you're talking about people not having children, while the bbc report is about sex, which is kind of a different thing...I think that in developed countries the tendency is about the same because we're starting to care more about education and upbringing and want to focus more on quality rather than quantity. This doesn't mean that sexual activity should decrease, so I find my self to agree with what the two older guys said: they want to give off these weird image about Japan being full of perverted and nerdy men who live on manga and masturbate all day, even though we have that kind of people in the west too

only if the servers can lasts for thousands of years

格好いいだね。

かっこいい you missed a い.

Well, Japanese people are becoming less sexually active, and have been traditionally less sexually active than people in Western countries...just not to the extent that the media portrays them as being. Rather than being sexless, Japan is perhaps a bit sex-challenged.

"In the countryside they reproduce like crazy." Those two girls at 5:50 are so refreshing.

The love hotel industry is booming and there`s a rise in STD so how is Japan sexless ?

I've been under the impression that japanese people are so work-oriented that they simply don't have enough time and energy for sex nowadays. Well, it's somewhat the same in western countries too, but western culture is a bit too obsessed with sexuality and that's a bit tiring to be honest. Or at least it makes me want sex a bit less.

Sex is way too over-rated and it's not a priority for most couples. When I was a teenager I used to think sex was common among adults and married couples, but it's not the case. I hardly get the time to get cosy with my gf. What we think about is sleeping, resting, cleaning our house, shopping. Sex somehow went way too down the priority list, now it happens hardly every month. Imagine having sex only 10-12 times a year. But we are surviving even without it, and as I said it's way too overrsted

How is this fake at all?? I live in Japan and so many Japanese people do not have sex or even get marrried. It is not uncommon to see women and men in their 30s to 40 and even 50 unmarried or even have a relationship. Japanese are married to their work more than anything since it is what takes up most of their time. The marriage rate and population age gap is getting worse all the time it's a fucking fact! Idk what the problem is here. Yuta is a slaty fucking little man and hates excepting the truth about Japanese culture. Although I don't know why??? It's nothing to be ashamed of that Japanese aren't having much sex and aren't getting married much anymore.

wishcraft4u2 How is it fake? You can check the satistics

He explains like 5 times how it is fake, did you even watch? ffs

This isn't unique to BBC, nor is BBC all "fake" (deserves to be defined) news, nor is the entire story fake, nor is any news outlet exempt from skepticism. You are right to have a grain of salt, but do not fall for the bandwagon of "fake news", nor adhere to a specific bias against a specific network. Obviously there is some sort of truth in the concerns of the original story, it stems from something. And you can find reliable information on BBC's website. You will always get a bias and slivers of misinformation from any source. Continue to diversify your sources and question them! “If you don't read the newspaper, you're uninformed. If you read the newspaper, you're mis-informed.”

It's a really old recurring news story though. I first started hearing about Japanese people avoiding marriage & children as far back 1999, & every year since, at least 1-3 articles would surface on the net about it. Now they're doing it with South Korea too.

EllaFreya veery berry expensive. Two crabs cost 3500 yen. I know they were fresh but come on...

@@Connetification For comparison's sake, I looked up the prices of crab in a US restaurant in California (Joe's Crab Shack), which sells you "clusters," of crabs at various rates depending on species (Snow $11, Queen $13, King depending on market) and "Crab Buckets (Snow $33.99, Queen $35.99, mix of Snow/Dungeness/King $38.99). I assumed an exchange rate of 125 Yen = $1 US, putting your meal at about $28 US. Pictures I'm finding online of the crab buckets indicate in the neighborhood of around 4-8 crab legs per crab bucket (one online review that probably fails the outlier test stated that they got only 2 crab legs in their $32 bucket and each member of their family ordered and got the same thing), plus some other inexpensive fodder (like corn on the cob), so if you got two whole crabs for $38 and they weren't tiny little guys, you may have actually done much better than you can at casual dining in the USA.

Lol another idiot. The bbc is paid for by the british public. They arnt selling anything. Japan has a declining population as aposed to most countries purely because they are so sexless. And japan is defiantly expensive compare to most of the world, just because it isnt expensive for you doesnt mean it isnt for others. Jesus christ why is everyone so self centred

"And it's good because sex shouldn't be a casual thing" Says who? "and brags about how many times they had (bad) sex" Again, says who? You seem to be romanticising sex too much. Sex is sex. It's different for everyone. Some prefer to consider it sacred and do it with one person, some like to celebrate it and share it more liberally. Some will only have sex with their most precious peers, some will have it with any number of friends, some will have it with anyone. Some will take it casually, some will do their best to ensure quality time. Sex differs from person to person. It is most definitely not what you described. Your perspective on what sex is and what it should be simply does not exist in the real world.

i like looking at it they same way as food: sometimes, you're hungry and just want a short fix. othertimes, you want to go on a total binge. other times, a nice menu. overall though, you try to stay reasonable and healthy. i don't think sex should be only one thing, when life has us so much to offer.

Thb I find your comment very backwards. As long as there is mutual respect, I don't care why, when, or how other people have sex. Respect in this case means consent, no lies/misleading, and respecting each other's boundaries. Also that having sex does not mean that the other part is in love with you, or that they are a less respectable person.

okay but. "sex culture" shouldn't be dictated by anyone. Dictating sex and sex norms is regression (within obvious reasons of course). Or do we just not hear about teen pregnancy, etc, because Japan just doesn't want to talk about it? They are very hush-hush about a lot of topics and would rather sweep things under the rug than give statistics to the rest of the world.

lmao they're literally losing their population try again

Oh love me Mistaaaaa 🎶

what else do you expect generalization of sex to do ? increase the value of love ? lol 😂

ItsumoSeppun4 That would be nice, but based on my experience in junior high and high school, teachers love to push contraceptives. "You will get pregnant if you have sex. If you can't take that responsibility, and also to prevent STDs always use condoms etc." and "Raising a child is hard. A child shouldn't raise a child." is what we often heard from teachers so most of us are good with...you know, NOT getting pregnant. But that doesn't mean we don't have sex. 😑

So, 2 years later, did you find your headband man?

Yuki Matsushita : i can guarantee if i wear a headband, i would become much more appealing -- nihongo mo mochiron zettai daijoubu....
