Wow your English is really good! The punctuation is better than a lot of native speakers these days.

this is a really insightful comment! thank you for sharing.

I was living in Japan thanks to Japanese government with a lot of schoolarship. Can you believe Foreigners don't want to follow the rules like crossing a pedestrian line in front of the company they are working for? What the woman said I'd not important. She is just a spoil Foreigners who like to question about Japan. Her country has more serious problems.

It does make sense. Making a difference requires a lot of energy and going against the grain.

Someone told me that in Japanese, the Japanese words for different and wrong are actually the same.

Yeah that surprised me aswell. Like I've been learning Japanese because me and my family are going to visit my sister in Japan. So I'm learning to make our life easier while visiting

She's probably living with her parents and attending international school.

This reminds me of this girl from my home country, she moved to Australia and she had very low English level and no job... I wonder what people does to learn the language AND get a job. For sure u gotta start somehow, somewhere

I lived in Japan for a couple years now and I’ve met people who have lived here for almost 20 years that don’t speak anything beyond a super basic level. On the one hand it’s a bit weird and feels like a wasted opportunity, but on the other I understand how much effort is involved in studying a language. I think some people learn just enough to get by and settle with that.

damn that's crazy

such a great advice honestly. i just started learning japanese again and your comment motivated me to reach that N2 thank you

@@fionafidela In my experience, I have never had a problem in daily conversation with someone who has N2. N1 is quite difficult, so I think N2 is sufficient. I am also studying for an English certification exam. Let's do our best.

Learning Japanese atm, Hopefully I will be able to pass the N2 exam one day. Good luck with your english certification exam ! @@user-tl5zo3xl4x

Seems like it's just easy to live in country you were raised in, instead fleeing to a country you know nothing about.

Japanese are helpful but not friendly also they don't socialize with everyone i thought to come to Japan and work there as IT expert but now i am totally broken can you make a comment on it???

@@anshul554 Japanese are not a monolith, they are 126 million individuals, each with his or her own personality. I've found many to be very friendly in my 30 plus years in Japan. I have 5 kids all who have been through or are in the public school system, each with plenty of good friends. Making good friends in adulthood is unusual in any country because we are so ensconced in our own lives by then, we are busy with family, work and juggling the time we have to spend with friends we already have. Taking on new friends in adulthood is something most of us have little time for...in any country.

So what will you do if they do stop you? Instinctively think the reason they did is because you’re black?

UPDATE: I see this comment is still getting likes and it’s been almost 3 months now. I only have more positive things to say. And don’t even get me started on this one doctor/hospital experience I had. In the end I was fine and my symptoms were likely stress related but I’m really grateful for all of the Japanese personnel that helped me out that day. 14+ days in Japan, black, and pretty much have had the same immediate understanding and share the same experience and feelings so far lol. While I don’t ever want to sound like I’m downplaying other people’s experiences I do feel like a lot of the foreigners in videos like this typically aren’t trying to make any major attempts to try to conform to the culture (iirc someone said one girl in the video has been living there 9+ years but doesn’t know how to speak any Japanese). I do know that the apartment thing is a legitimate issue though but I believe that comes from the perception that Japanese people think foreigners are loud and like to party all the time but I’ve heard cases where the agencies will give some people a pass as they’re “like Japanese”, one of them being black as well. I’m here for language school in hopes of going on to uni here and have had nothing but a blissful time so far. I’ve watched many videos like these prior and they’ve caused me to be on edge for the first few days just waiting for some form of discrimination (not the interviewers’ fault of course) but my only issue so far has been the language barrier. I’m aware of the culture around me and do my best to respect the rules, despite how ludicrous some might feel (staying at the red crossing light when there’s clearly no traffic around has been one to get used to compared to NYC for instance lol).

Interesting, that was my experience too. I made my first true Japanese friend in year 7. Other than that, I kicked arse in college and did well at work. I'm African and had a number of great friends both African and other nationalities and life was great!

I found that interesting too that she lived in Japan for 9 years but speaks Chinese

And she hasn't got a job

Yeah she seems like she lives in a different world from most other people, if you know what I mean

People do that wren they come to America to though. Some people have learning issues... you can't just make an assumption off of a small video.

@@kyokitty16 she knows Chinese. Learning issues?

i agree completely although i have no experience living abroad in any other country, if I go somewhere for a vacation I make sure to learn at least some very basics of that language just as a courtesy to the people who live there. I don't understand people who would move to a country and not learn the language. I have been learning Japanese as a hobby for 3 years and it blows my mind that people can live there and not speak the language. only real excuse is if you are a worker for a foreign govt. etc. there on a work visit and not intending to stay and work privately.

You got the point, Rajesh.

I have visited Japan every year for the last 10 years since I was a teenager. The Japanese treated me well except for one occasion when I was 18. I saw a temple in Tokyo with my friends. It was summer, so we wore very short dresses and shorts and then talked loudly in the temple (we were young and didn't know better). Then, the KANNUSHI came and accosted us for talking too loudly. We said sorry and went our way. The takeaway from that experience is that we should be aware of other cultures and check the DOS AND DON'TS of any country we plan to visit out of respect for their cultures, traditions, taboos and dislikes.

👏👏

​@@ROYAL_REBELSo they never talked about your attire (short skirt).

I was like that when i moved to China in 2004 also. You learn Survival language skills first. Once you pass that, you can pretty much acquire the rest of the language by using it in that culture where it's the daily language.

you were so cool, what do you like about living in japan ?

Stefatty you are legit one of the most beautiful women I've ever had the pleasure of seeing. Seriously.

I agree with everything you said in this video and then some. When I moved here I could not get a place to rent no matter how I tried, the only offer I got was a run down place that I assume nobody else wanted and even then the landlord asked for a years worth of rent paid in advance. I ended up in a share house instead and thank the kami for that. But from what I am told, this is in part due to prejudice based on negative experiences, like foreigners damaging the flat and disappearing to their home countries without paying for damages or even for rent etc. I mean, I get it but if we as foreigners get refused even if we pay guarantor companies and have a stable income and everything then that is simply wrong. :/ At least Kansai is a bit more laid back as that other dude mentioned, it is chill and people are more...human here. Especially Osaka. Definitely recommend you visit on your travels once you have the opportunity!

Yeah, I can agree. Still Kansai>Tokyo!

@@Shishu_97 Yep, same with me. Kansai > Tokyo, hands down.

It takes years to be able to even watch tv

That 1 girl has been there for 9 years...if you haven't picked up the language and you've been there for 9 years, it's because you're not really trying. She also said she's living off her parents and has no job but managed to have 3 shopping bags. If you have no job and parents wealthy enough to support you, take some language courses.

@@kaseyc9459 I'll never understand why some people would live in a country for many years and not learn the language. In a lot of videos like these, too many people say they don't speak fluent Japanese (or even basic Japanese) despite living in Japan for years. Tourists staying for a few days/weeks get a pass because nobody would expect to know so much. I just find it ridiculous to be honest and I don't see any excuse to not learn the main language for the country you decide to live in. Japanese may be difficult to learn but do the best you can. It's not impossible to learn.

Its a fun language but very hard.

@@thestruggler7926 I am Dutch and lived and worked in Japan for about 15 months just before the pandemic. You may have heard that the Dutch speak 3-4 languages. I also personally have a background in languages; I worked as a translator and am now a professional writer. As such, my thinking was "eh, I'll just pick it up naturally, and with the free Japanese lessons I get through work, it'll be a piece of cake". I was very naive. It is _not_ an easy language to learn coming from a European or English-speaking background. There was very little "picking up naturally". It takes consistent, disciplined study, and consistency tends to be the problem when you're also having to navigate all the other stuff that comes with trying to be a functioning adult in a strange country. I'm happy with what I did learn (I call it サヴァイヴァルジャパニーズ) but I was totally delusional about how far I'd get in the first year. As a result, I have a bit more sympathy for the people who have lived there for years without attaining anything close to fluency. I used to judge them more like you. But if you have a family, are working full time, are over 30, and don't have a natural talent for language, it's really understandable. I also have a bit more sympathy for the Japanese in general being so terrible at English-it's just a very different language. That said, it's hard to think of a valid excuse for the unemployed young girl who's been there for 9 years...

Okinawa is considered foreign land to Japanese pretty much. They also until the last century, considered them savages and put in zoos. Which is probably one of many reasons why they put the military bases out there and away from mainland Japan.

True, but from a western perspective it's closer to mainland culture than to western culture in general though.

Okinawans are seen as savage monkey people to mainland jappanese

Thats the unfortunate side of japan, the lack of diversity and blatant micro aggressions/xenophobia

Travel is not the same as living though. You get to see and experience 1% of what it means to be here, even if it’s for 5 weeks. The problems are cute when they are temporary but when it’s having to leave the country because you can’t find an apartment because no one will rent to foreigners near your job, it’s a different story.

Actually contrary to popular belief introverts will do bad in Japan if your not a tourist since the Japanese rarely initiate any conversation, well I notice I turn more extroverted in Japan just to be able to get my daily social interaction. Not only that but I am forced to steer the conversation or else the Japanese will say the same ten things (Why you learning Japanese, nihongo jouzu desune, ...) over and over. Many Japanese seem to believe that deep conversations are reserved for "true friends" which 99% of the time means no foreigners...

@@marchetu9212 Concur. The living situation is very different from the tourist/short-term visit from what I've heard. There's extreme biases to rent to non-Japanese (speakers?), a big need for work reform. I've heard some of the processes for things like leaving for vacation is pretty extensive, and slows things down. Would love to visit but probably not live there. Also don't know how the countryside compares to city living.

An introvert probably wouldn't have talked to this random guy in video I suspect as well :)

The same goes an in other asian countries as i know the korean will be the same more open and receptive if a foreigner just know abit korean

Perfectly said! Thank you 😊

it really depends on what we count as "discrimination". I doubt the guy has made japanese friends or that he has encountered 0 problems at work/ renting. Most asians (incl. japanese) will stay civil to save face but the societal structure itself is such that you are almost automatically excluded. So yea, you can travel/ live there without getting bothered on the street, but you are 100% aware of people avoiding you/ staring at you/ gossiping etc and in some context downright thinking you are inferior because you are a foreigner (i.e., by landlords, suspicious members of staff, employers etc). The latter is just as negative (if not more) than people shouting racial slurs at you

This has been my experience in Japan, especially as a non-white foreigner. Tokyo/Kanto and the eastern/northern parts of Japan have been "cold" to say the least, civil amd polite, but cold and exclusionary. While still universally distant socially towards foreigners because Tokyo/Kanto culture is the trend setter for the country, Japan becomes more embracing and less discriminatory starting in the Osaka/Kansai region, and continuing in Hiroshima and Fukuoka/Kyushu. Okinawa might as well not be Japan, but in all of the good ways.

I'd be frustrated too though since it can't be helped that I'm not Japanese... I hope this changes soon too

I think it's because foreigners have made an image of not abiding to apartment rules. I read an article about what troubles might occur when renting to foreigners are and it said: ①Complaints from neighbors for being too loud (inviting friends and having parties). ②Not sorting and throwing the trash on its designated day. ③Sharing apartment without asking for permission from the landlord (You need to tell them how many people would be living in the apartment) ④Taking pets in on a no-pets-allowed apartment ⑤Does DIY Renovations ⑥Not paying rent for months ⑦Not paying rent then suddenly moving out without notice I'm not saying Japanese renters don't do this, but this is what that article said. Some foreigners don't understand the rules and manners since they have different morals and culture. They don't get the "When in Rome,do as the Romans do." thing. It's a pity since it affects the foreigners who try to rent now.

@@Wheelio My Nigga Is Acting Like The Entire Human History Isn't Based On Conquests. Also Ainu And Okinawans Population Was Limited To Certain Geographical Locations

@@azathoth4473 You're missing the point, homie. Japan already has diversity in its own land. Okinawan culture thrives.

@@Wheelio It doesn't. The so called Diversity was limited to only certain geographic locations for example Okinawans to Okinawa Islands and Ainu To Hokkaido and some very small population in northern Japan near Hokkaido. And it's not a new phenomena major culture dominating other minor cultures

What made you move there?

@@tannerdriscoll6699 structure for language studies since I would never be disciplined while studying by myself and holding a full-time role. Plus I have always wanted to gain APAC experience so I will also be looking for work in Tokyo ☺️. Thanks for asking!

@@gorjess_moments Hey, im planning a working holiday to japan soon, and planning to go to Tokyo or Kanagawa, or some place near tokyo, Osaka is an option too! can you please tell me what kind of job you did? how many hours? you can afford living with only part time ? how to find it ? do i need a lot of savings? etc. Also i also want to study japanese there. thank you !!!

I watched a streamer visit Korea and they couldn't go into a bar because there was a sign that said "koreans only".

Racism in Japan doesn't surprise me. .. but Americas the most racist. . . America sux. Nobody should move there.

TBH, SK is worst in that regard. Korean Guys will say things they would never dare say to Korean girls but do to foreigner girls. There are many YT videos about it too.

South Korea suffers from the same issues as japan including people being overworked and committing suicide often. Im glad its been a better experience for you though.

@@jackmiddleton2080 I live in the States, in a mostly Asian area, and see and experience stuff like this too. It’s very strange because like I said, I’m in the US, but most of the Asians in the area I live in truly think they can get away with discrimination to non-Asians, and other Asians who aren’t their type of Asian. Unfortunately this has been my majority experience in the area I live in, but there have been some very nice people lately, and I’ve noticed the newer generation that’s taking over their parents businesses in the area aren’t as racist, or at least have the decorum to hide it better, so I think things are slowly changing. My friends who are from various places in Asia tell me diferente things about what’s going on over there, but online it seems like people are at least speaking out against it which I think is good.

and u are cute as well

@OlJimJam why the fuck are you talking about racism.

@OlJimJam how is it relevant to my comment? My comment doesn't speak about racism at all.

@OlJimJam Australia is nowhere near as racist as its made out to be. We are not politically correct so people think that makes us racist. To us, the US is the most racist country in the world hands down (and that doesnt mean we think the white Americans are the only racists. Americans as a whole of every race are racist, even against themselves). And political correctness is a racist concept. Political correctness would have you believe that only white people live in Australia, when we are a multicultural country. Dominated by white people sure but some of those white people are foreigners from Europe. Go to certain places and you'll barely see a white person. So with that in mind, when people say Australians are racist, are you talking about white Australians or non-white Australians? Because that's racist in of itself. Anyway, moving on... Australians value individually. Black people are not going to be treated any differently than anyone else. Asians are not going to be treated differently than anyone else. Etc. (Least not in a way that Americans do.) That is not to say there is no racism. Asians are discriminated against (foreigners/tourist asians against asians living in Australia are the worse. And there is some bad blood for some Australians during the time when Asians immigranted here. Sometimes they too dont learn english, but for the most part, it's safe to be an asian and living in Australia provided you speak English. We get a lot of asian students. I think Asians are discriminated against more in America but that could be my bias). And asians in Australia have been known to be racist too, but in a small margin. Middle Eastern people are discriminated against more so than asians due to 9/11 and there is a sigma about the men being in gangs (which is true in some cases), that can get violent and have short tempers (which is true in some cases as they are brought up in aggressive and violent households) and deal in drugs (which is also true in some cases). It also seems that they are quite racist against others, more so than the white Australians. Africans I believe are left alone and black Americans are left alone too. (However, to come across a black person in Australia is so rare that its hard to make a judgement on this. If you're a black person from America coming to Australia you will be looked at but more so in awe than in hesitation). Indians is a tough one for me. I think they are left alone as they're the ones that stay alone too. But generally very friendly people, so I would assume they dont experience too much racism. Essentially if you speak English, you're in the good books. People may even strike up a conversation with you to learn more about where you're from, but mostly, people are left alone. However, none are more discriminated against than the Aboriginal people. That is true discrimination. I sometimes get mad when black people make the complaints that they do, and talk about white privilege. They have so much privlage compared to the Aboriginal people here. I wish the Aboriginal people had as much privilege as the average black person does, because then they have a chance. Black people have education, a house, a job and opportunities to improve their own lives, own their own business, etc, as we see with countless successful black people living in America (celebrities or otherwise). But no one can say the same about the Aboriginal people. No. Not even close. For me to say that a black person in America has privilege, you can tell how much the Aboriginal people dont have privilege. They are the forgotten people. The people Australians choose to ignore. Walk on the otherside of the footpath. Never given a job, barely given education, homeless, constant discrimination, they have to struggle to prove themselves for the rest of their lives. The discrimination that black people in America face is nothing like what the Aboriginal people face. It is true discrimination, this is systematic. Not whatever fluff is over there, thats not systematic. The Aboriginal people is experiencing more systematic racism if not actual systematic racism than any black person in America. It is one of my greatest shames for this country that we do so little for the Aboriginal people. They feel helpless and hopeless that they dont even try to apply themselves because they know there is no point. In America all you have to do is apply yourself and you'll make it. The Aboriginal people, don't even get that. "You be an athlete and then you'll be successful." Thats all they have and thats just for the men. Some Australians would say that they get money from the government for the rest of their lives as compensation. Yes they do. Some Australians would say that the Aboriginal people use that money to buy alcohol and drugs. Yes they do because they have no hope. No one will hire them! Then it becomes generational and the hate and hopelessness continues generation after generation. This is true discrimination, this is systematic! Spend a week in an Aboriginals shoes America and see what it means to be discriminated against, to know true systematic racism is. Then maybe you realise that you are in a place of privilege because at least you can rise above the hopelessness you feel, the Aboriginal people can't, even if they tried. So with that, decide for yourself if Australia is as racist as its made out to be. For me personally, I wouldn't want to live in America because as a white person I would fear for my life. But if youre an aboriginal person living in Australia, what would your feelings about me as a white person be?

i see so many english teach jobs on the gaijin pot bro, i think u can find a good work for u

@@sualolifavorita6351 finding a job wasn't the problem, the problem came from my previous employer holding up my visa change process for 10 weeks
