Like other people have mentioned, Vlada's mannerism, the cadence & rhythm of her voice, are totally indistinguishable from other Japanese girls.

Yes, she’s completely a Japanese girl.

I think that's because she's Japanese.

I'll be moving to Japan in 10 days, and I don't think I'd be bothered by getting the same questions over and over again. But that's because my role in the country is that of a guest. If you're someone of European descent growing up in Japan, Japan is your home country...those same questions suddenly get a lot more tiresome because they end up making you feel like a stranger in a country that's your home.

Wow, I can't believe how Japanese you and Vlada are! I've never been to Japan so it's still a bit of a shock to see how imbued your personalities are with Japanese values and ways as you look so European! Thanks so much for sharing your inner feelings with us! :)

I never, for one moment, saw either one of you two as European. I felt like I was listening to (and seeing) two Japanese individuals. I lived with a German born Chinese guy once upon a time, and that, I could not get enough of simply because I'm so used to English speaking Chinese 😄 I love the world we're moving in to! Much love 💕💕

@@Olli-Tech That kinda makes sense but maybe unnecessary because sensitive white pipo might be reading your comment. This is a 'kin selection' at work either on biological level or on psychological level. The heart emoji and a hug comment is too gay for a straight Japanese man. @kris --_"I love the world we're moving in to!"_ Although I agree with Joshua on this point, I don't like the way Europe is headed. I've heard about big farmers' protest in Germany recently. I'm guessing in these protests, most of them are consist of two generations and for some of them, it's likely that their heritage is multi generational. I'm halfway past middle-age so I relate to the world differently. Sure when you consider yourself still relatively young, you tend to be more optimistic and paint the rosy picture for you and for the world. It's reasonable to think that this is a part of our survival traits. "We're the world, We're the children" type of thinking or the idea of Globalization has peaked from the looks of it. I've just googled gen x and the result showed me four generations. But it wasn't the 4 I was thinking of. This is an entirely my personal hypothesis but Japanese language and people tend to not look at or describe the future the same way. Your line of thoughts trace its roots back to the Ancient Greek, specifically Aristotle. I'm trying to think like him right now... It's the other way around actually. It's the planet earth that's spinning around and we're all on it. We don't live in a simulation and we're certainly not just bundle of neurons. And logic ask you a really important question, isn't God real?

Wow this is a mind warp. I was recently in Rome, Italy and saw a Chinese guy and an Indian guy who owned a shop together (or work together) speaking fluent Italian, joking in Italian and just very comfortably speaking in Italian. Kind of reminded me of this conversation you two are having.

@JoiskiMe Жыл бұрын

This is actually very similar to my own experience growing up half Thai in Norway. I got those questions and comments all the time as well. And you feel so drained living like that. But I'm really glad I lived in a town with a lot of immigrants, it made it less strange to look the way I did.

I’m an Australian who has been living mostly in Japan for 13 years or so, but spent 2 years in Australia during COVID. Those 2 years cemented the fact that I am one of those who is most at home in Japan, and am happily back here again now. I think it is a place that either fits who you are, or you try to adapt then tire out

You're both young. When I was that age (now I'll be impressing on you both to listen to your elders as well as you both putting up with predictable questions and comments), I really did not want to be in a society but do my own thing. I think that's natural when you first become an adult: To manifest yourself in the world. Travel to other nations to live and work is very very good to do: You both are blessed despite earlier hardships fitting in being able to be between cultures and understand the world quickly using different languages. When you are older near middle-age you'll at some point care a lot more about the society you live in, in terms of people all making an effort (even if as you say you feel it's not authentic in Japanese case). If you are in a society where you feel people don't care it's not a good feeling living in that country. There's already a glimpse of this eg Vlada pointing out the Russian customer service anecdote. You feel this kind of thing even more when you are a bit older and slow down a bit is what I would say take a notice of to observe. With that said, it's best to learn your own way forwards through life!

Joshua, great interview. Every time I went to Japan, I was treated as a gaijin. I’m half Japanese but look totally American and semi fluent. I”ve spent time with my Japanese relatives and spent months on Okinawa flying out of Kadena AB. Every night I could, I walked out the military gate to Koza City. I got to eat and spend time in the Japanese culture. It took some encouragement to bring my crew mates down town to experience Japanese cuisine. It was fun and entertaining. It brought them out of their comfort zone and into the local culture.

@joshuasjapanchannel Жыл бұрын

It must’ve been super interesting living on base in Okinawa as half Japanese. I used to live right outside Foster (right by Araha beach) and it was an amazing experience. Would love to go back to visit 😍

@edjarrett3164 Жыл бұрын

@@joshuasjapanchannel I know of Camp Foster, but never got a chance to visit. My biggest challenge was left hand lanes, right hand driving and our crew van with a manual on the steering wheel. Driving was a hazard because we had left and right hand drives. Habit patterns are very hard to establish when switching. I can say I had some close calls. This skill carried over to the UK where driving was much easier because all the cars were right hand drive and most were manual.

Simply fascinating. You and Vlada are ethnically white Europeans but you live without the privileges usually associated with that identity. Instead, like ethnic minorities in Europe and the USA, your life requires both navigating and adapting to racism (with it’s aggressions and microaggressions) and to constantly engaging with questions of identity. And as a member of the LGBTQ community another layer of complexity is added to the mix. The content you create is unique and profoundly engaging because your situation is so unusual for people of European descent.

社会がどうなってるとか、他人が自分の事をどう思うのかを気にしすぎる時点で、既に十分に日本人だと思う。英語圏で育ったけど、そんなことを考えたことも無かったし、意識すらしなかった。だから悩みすら理解できない。好きなように考えて、好きなように生きればそれでいいじゃんと思うけど・・・
