    I absolutely loved the guy from Paris. He was so eloquent and so understood the pressure of the Japanese who have lived abroad. This feeling of being unwelcome as a Japanese person who has lived abroad may be evolving in Tokyo but not so much in other cities. Honestly, I agreed with everything he said and find it remarkable that he so clearly stated (he nailed it!) what many have experienced

It's even shittier to assume that it's also because they "don't want" to speak the language. It's also even weirder to assume he would know Cantonese. He said it in passing that he lived in Hong Kong for a time but also lived in predominantly non-Cantonese-speaking cities like Beijing and Shanghai.

    Third interview (Australian girl) raised a very important point about directness. Australians are considered quite direct, to the point of rudeness, which can cause some issues when interacting with other cultures, let alone other languages. My daughter lived in Japan twice, both times for a period of one year. When she was being prepared for her first year long stay, the presenters emphasised the levels of politeness required in Japanese families, and their example was a girl who asked her host mother if they used bleach in their washing machine. The host mother applied the Japanese indirect language overlay to this, and interpreted this as her Australian host daughter implying her housekeeping was slovenly. And immediately asked the exchange coordinator to remove the girl from her home. Poor Aussie girl was just interested in what washing machine products were regularly used, and ended up having to move a few hours later. It sounded like a very sad situation.

    To me you are Italian, because it's where we grew up that shapes us. Where our mother gave birth to us or where our ancestors were from may play a role in our identity, but it's not nothing like where we grew up. That's the culture we absorb, the language that we speak first. I'm in your situatio, sort of. However, other people might be biased once they know the full history. I even had somebody say I had an accent in my native language. Just because my name sounds foreign in my native language. And especially Italians they are very closed culture. So anybody who does not share their ancestry no matter how long they've been in Italy and how well they speak Italian They will never view them as true Italians. But again, to me you are Italian. Unless you were raised in a tight-knit diaspora where the Tunisian culture actually had more influence than the Italian.

    I'm Brazilian, from São Paulo as well. The few japanese descendants I've met were all like that. The thing is they are fully Brazilians, born and raised, and although the japanese community is huge there the newer generations are being raised in a local environment, going to local schools and socializing with other Brazilians. Also, the countries are so far away from each other and it's so expensive to travel there that it's natural to distance a little from the culture as well. In the last years many Brazilians started to migrate back to Japan for better opportunities work-wise, but there was this gap between the first big migration from Japan that took place more than 100 years ago. Anyway, japanese culture is very present in Brazil, specially the food, and also anime and the like.

    Just a hint on interviewing for Takashi (whose UTube channel I think is great) is that at 2:57 the American girl is giving an intro into a really interesting question about the differences between Japanese and American work culture. Now if Takashi had followed through on that he might have got a really interesting answer. My advice is just reflect back what she says in the form of a question and people will naturally divulge more.

    I don't think it takes much effort to find them. Takashi is an earnest person who listens, and any person who voices their experience of all things Japanese through him is amplified. He is probably probably much easier to get in touch with than you think, like an email or social media DM away. But it doesn't make his videos any less interesting.

    It would seem he utilizes the same people for multiple interviews and topics. That first woman was in a video four months ago with her husband. Not that this is a bad thing, it's smart to do. I'm curious if he organizes these multiple interviews ahead of time or just talks with them for a long time about a variety of topics and edits them for multiple videos later.

    Your videos are fun to watch. I feel like they demonstrate that you as the host have a curious and interested nature. This quality helps people to relate to each other (by talking, and sharing ideas). So thank you. I find so many aspects of Japan very interesting and here on the west coast of Canada we have been influenced by various Japanese things. I grow and sell Japanese maples as a business and have been in love with Japanese gardens for a long time. I am currently learning Japanese and look forward to one day coming to Japan to experience the many wonderful things your country has to offer.

I wonder if you could use your platform to encourage your interviewees to share a little more about their philosophy? I feel like so many of the characters you interview are probably quite deep people with deep things to share.

Dads are decided to everything , moms cooking etc. But world are really big and it was amaizing experience for me. Now I'm gonna turn 22 soon and I've been 9 countrys. In this journey, my personality changed a lot, If i wouldn't be in abroad I couldn't be the person as I am now.

There are lots and lots of volunteering programmes. Stop being a victim, and a sad and bitter one at that. The most famous traveller in my country started out by selling his fridge to get money for a plane ticket. Go figure, mate. Seeing yourself as a victim, will leave you a victim.

    Born in Yokohama and came to the US at age 5. Settled into northern suburbs of Chicago/Southeastern Wisconsin. We were very isolated from other Japanese. I think because of it I embraced my Japanese culture. Growing up I was told not to embarrass the family and not to embarrass Japan. My parents kept Japanese culture alive in the house. We only spoke Japanese in the house. I spent summer vacations in Yokohama and kept a very close connection to Japan. I worked in various jobs in Japan and currently live in the US.
