I'm a Japanese writer.
His name is Mikan Oshidari.
He was addicted to his smartphone,
for mental health
I'm publishing a book about my experience using a dumbphone (flipphone)!
Smartphone addiction is still not seen as a problem, but she is working to raise awareness.
the title is
"I want to stop being a slave to my smartphone," he says.
My book is only available in Japanese.
That's why I started KZread in English because I wanted people to know about me and my books.
I'll be talking about my book, digital detox, and dumbphone!
I'm not good at English, but
I'll do my best to talk about it, so I'd be happy if you could check it out.
By the way, my current goal is to publish an English translation of my book.

@user-ti6ef7jd3l やぁ、何やってんの。あなたの雰囲気が私にマッチするので、あなたを友達にしたいと思いました。 Whatsapp か何かチャットできるものはありますか?あなたは実際にとても好きです 自分 私もこれらの新しい携帯電話は好きではありません。本当にあなたと話して友達になりたいです！
Amazing video! , what do you think about Nokia 2660 Flip is it good ? , and does this flip phone in the video have a whatsapp? thank you for your effort!
Hi, I just read your article. Very informative and very important. Thank you so much for sharing. Congratulations. 🙂🙂🙂
What happened to your face? 😢
Hey Mikan! Great video, your English was very clear to understand, too. I'm very interested to see the phone when it is released! I will continue to support you!
Cool 😎 ❤
Through the whole video i was just like "damn she has a very cute japanese-english accent" hahaha
@@TejAsh19_ Thank you for your comment. I'm glad(๑•ᴗ•๑)♡! I'm happy to hear that you think it's so cute, but I'm a little worried! Was there anything strange about your accent? Sorry if I don't understand what you're talking about! If there's anything you don't understand, please leave a comment and I'll answer it. I'm studying English so that I can speak it better! Please check out our other videos!
@@user-ti6ef7jd3l oh it's actually fine, I'm able to understand what you said and what you are about to say, but yeah good luck with your English studies 👍
@@TejAsh19_ thank you! it was good! relieved. I'm happy. I'll try my best to improve my English. By the way, I go to an English conversation school! There are many English conversation schools in Japan. When you have something you want to convey, the number of people you can communicate with is limited if you use Japanese. Not many people can speak Japanese. In English, you can communicate to many people. Native speakers and non-native speakers who have studied English. I was able to communicate with you through English. thank you!
@@user-ti6ef7jd3l oh yeah it would be an inconvenience if you don't know English, cause nowadays it's became mandatory for us to learn English at least the basics Oh and by the way I've always been fascinated by Japanese culture and especially your technology, back in 2007 or 8 i came to know about Japan and it's crazy technology so ever since i wanted to come there but i couldn't cause the first reason is I'm already an introvert and on top of that I don't know japanese so it'd be extremely difficult for me and second is obviously the life style, i wouldn't know where I should be going even with a Google maps over there haha, but yeah hope i could visit Japan some day.
Great english! Im trying to learn Japanese, as native Spanish speaker its being difficult 😞
@@M46660T Thank you for your comment! I'm glad you complimented my English. I'll try my best to speak English better. oh! You're studying Japanese! amazing! Japanese is difficult! Even Japanese people think so. However, there are some beautiful words that are unique to Japanese and represent seasons. Maybe it would be good to study by watching Japanese anime! ! Because Japanese anime is popular! . I'm supporting your Japanese study. I'll do my best in English too! I'll post another video. Please take a look(๑•ᴗ•๑)♡.

@@M46660T you're welcome! Thank you very much. If my English becomes a little better, let's talk! I'll study hard! Lately, I've been singing English songs to study. English songs are quite popular in Japan.
Very useful video thank you 😄
@@minihammermc15 Thank you for your comment! I am very happy. I'm not good at English yet, but I'll be making videos about digital detox and dumbphones (flipphones), so please watch!
I think the reason nobody sees smartphone addiction as a problem is because they (we) are addicted. When you are addicted to something you will fool yourself thinking you aren't. Wether it is a smartphone or chocolate or drugs. Even when you are honest with yourself and realise you have an addiction (which is hard to admit in itself), it is still very hard to quit. I've heard more recently from others saying they feel trapped by their phones. And if you ask them if they really want to spend all those hours on the phone they will say no, but they will continue doing it. I'm the same. When I try stop using it, I feel bored and restless. Not stimulated. That is not because doing nothing and being in the present is boring and unstimulating. It's because I'm/we are experiencing withdrawals. Just like you would crave chocolate or drugs when you try stop quitting those things. When you have detoxed and are over the withdrawals, then being in the present, not doing anything, is actually very peaceful and nice. It's not boring at all. It's not stressful. If you wait just feeling, not even thinking about anything (because the conscious is more than thoughts, always thinking is also noise) you will feel at peace. And if you wait your brain will make new and creative thoughts and ideas all on its own. It is very difficult to quit an addiction when you have the thing you are addicted to right in your pocket. The solution is to get rid of the smartphone. I ordered a flip-phone and I'm excited to not scroll on my phone anymore. My brain is always drowned in noise, never a moment of peace. I read somewhere, the solution to an alcoholic is "to take the alcohol out of the house". And I think it's the same if you are a smartphone- or choco-holic :D When you realise you can't control yourself you have to remove the chocolate or smartphone, or whatever else you find yourself addicted to that you want to stop. I hope your book comes in english in the future so I can read it
@@someone-sl3fs thank you! I think that's really true. I hope that more people, like you, can realize that they are addicted to their smartphones, overcome the withdrawal symptoms, and find a sense of freedom. I'm glad I gave up my smartphone. However, the world is still addicted to smartphones. For example, let's say there is a person who is addicted to alcohol. Let that person cure his addiction and live a normal life! That's what I thought... The water coming out of the tap has turned into alcohol! Even the water served at restaurants contains alcohol! Something like that. The current state of smartphone addiction. Digital detox is becoming a hot topic, and I hope that changes soon. I hope my book can help with that. I will do my best to achieve my goal of publishing an English version. Thank you for your comment! Have a good digital detox too.
Thank you for English language! Well done! I'm From Russia - and it was interesting to watcha bunch of new videos on the topic of your production that interests me. I am a computer programmer - using a smartphone, especially after the end of the working day, can lead to almost a nervous breakdown, because of the notifications, calls etc... Ive ordered a Japanese flip phone, hope that it will work with my country lte bands - love its aesthetics. Good luck in creating videos, everything will work out!
Thank you! Your books look beautiful. I am interested and look forward to an English language version. Best wishes, Sam (Kids For Now, UK).
@@samuelrice7555 Sorry for being late in replying to your comment. And thank you for your comment. I feel honored. I want to publish a translated version and let the world know about the dangers of smartphone addiction...I will do my best to achieve that goal! thank you! Please check out the other videos if you like.
hi! i watched your videos and really wanted to try to get rid of my smartphone addiction! I am so glad that there is more people trying devices like flip phones hehe and watching that there are plenty of unique designs in your country is really interesting! I'm from Chile so i don't see these types of phones anymore. Thank you so much for showing them! (i'm also trying to learn english XD)❤
@@Karina-vf2uy Thank you very much for your comment! And I'm very honored that you decided to break free of your smartphone addiction after watching my video. Before smartphones became popular in Japan, there were many unique and well-designed flipphones. However, with the spread of smartphones, this number has decreased considerably. disappointing. But now that digital detox is booming, I feel like flipphones will become popular again. I think it would be good if that happens. Everyone is now addicted to smartphones. Very unhealthy. I'll post another video! I would be happy if you could watch my other videos. Have a good digital detox!

The design is so cute and never been done before. I’m visiting Japan for the 1st time hope I can purchase this phone at a reasonable price. Thank you for all your flip phone videos. I enjoy all of them
@@Maybe_monday Thank you very much for your comment! INFOBAR is really good. One thing to note: this is an INFOBAR-style Apple Watch case, not a mobile phone. (This is a return gift from crowdfunding) Communication is not possible. That's a pity. However, there is also a mobile phone called [INFOBAR XV] that can communicate properly! INFOBAR is a model that was popular in the 2000s. But [INFOBAR XV] was released about 5 years ago. The INFOBAR series is very popular! INFOBAR is a product of a project called [au Design Project]. This project has produced many unique and highly designed mobile phones. We will continue to communicate about digital detox, dumbphone, and flipphone. I want to eliminate people who suffer from smartphone addiction! I'll post another video so please take a look! thanks♥
Oshidari is a great last name
@@stage666 Thank you for your comment. Is my last name "oshidari" difficult to read for English speakers? Is it difficult to pronounce? That's what I thought, so I'm glad you said so. By the way, "oshidari" is written as [忍足 ] in kanji.
Looks like you've gained some subscribers ❤
@@MrTirupur thank you! This is still to come. I'll try harder. (I haven't been able to reply to the comment you sent me! Sorry. Please wait.)
I understand how you feel. anytime I see footage from Japan I see people sitting or standing and looking down into their phone 📱😢
@@Kirix Thanks for your comment✨! And thank you for sharing! “I want to stop being a slave to my smartphone”…The title of my book is a bit extreme. But when I really looked around, everyone was staring at their smartphone screens. Even the baby in the stroller! This has become a common sight. And no one questions it. I think it's very scary. I think digital detox is very important because I was addicted to my smartphone. I wrote this book because I wanted to convey this to Japanese people. I'm filming a video because I want people all over the world to know about it. (And someday I would like to publish a translated version worldwide. That is my goal.)
Amazing information
@@mubarizsalim thank you! If you ever come to Tokyo, Japan, please come and visit us! This is a shop called ``Koshomitsuke'' in Asakusabashi. The store name ``Koshomitsuke'' means ``finding old books.''
I love Japanese flip phones ❤❤❤❤😊
@@kudeallgaming Thanks for your comment! I feel the same way! It's sad that flipphones have disappeared since smartphones became popular. Japanese flipphones have very cute designs and colors. It's unique. (Although I also like overseas models! Nokia models are cute) There is a need for flipphones, so I hope they don't disappear in the future! I'm shooting a video with that desire in mind. If you like, please check out the other videos.
That is very cool you got your ideas on the subject published. I appreciate you speaking english in your videos it must be very difficult at times but you are making sense hahaha just keep practicing :)

@@vy_persona Thanks for your comment! And you also saw the comment I made earlier! It's an honor. At that time, I made comments to various people because I wanted the world to know about digital detox. However, if I have something to say, instead of commenting on other people's videos, I try to make my own videos, so that's what I'm doing now. The book is only available in Japanese now!

@@user-ti6ef7jd3l definitely! I agree 100% with this. I stopped using social media in February and my focus has improved significantly. I also think i will be doing a severe digital detox as i now try to replace social media with other apps. My phone does notifications without wifi on and i have realised sometimes it vibrates but it doesn’t even have a notification. It’s just “reminding” me to check the phone. It’s crazy and spooky and honestly i can’t be dealing with this. I’m done with addiction in general and my phone is definitely one of the biggest problems i have atm.

I wish japanese flip phone is not only marketed in japan 😢😢😢. I really want to buy it. But it is exclusively sold in japan 😢😢😢😢
Thanks for your comment! Seems like it's for real! When Apple made the iPhone and it came to Japan, Japanese mobile phone manufacturers also made smartphones. However, the current smartphone market in Japan is dominated by iPhones and smartphones from Korean and Chinese manufacturers. I think Japanese feature phones (flipphones) tend to have cute designs and colors, so I want them to continue making them, and I wish they could sell them all over the world! Japanese manga and anime are extremely popular. I'm proud of that. I have an American friend who came to Japan because he likes Japanese anime and studied Japanese. Like anime and manga that get people interested in Japan and give them a chance to learn more about Japan. I think Japanese feature phones (flipphones) should also be promoted to the world as part of Japanese culture. Digital detox is booming right now, so I think there's a chance. I hope Japanese manufacturers realize this! Sorry for the long comment! Thank you for watching this video. Please check out the other videos if you like.
It looks so cool! I always liked the aesthetic of flip phones. I miss having buttons that you can physically press, instead of it being fully digital on the screen. Nice video, thank you for sharing! ☺🙏

@@cucumumu6671 Thank you very much for your comment! This model (Mode One Retro 2) has the shape of a flipphone, but it is a rare model that can be loaded with apps. I'd like to do a digital detox, but I think using Dumbphone completely would affect my work. That's what I was concerned about when I was considering whether to switch to Dumbphone or Flipphone due to my smartphone addiction. (As a result, I now use a flipphone and a tablet that don't have apps.) This model has apps, but because it's in the form of a flipphone, it's hard to become addicted to your smartphone!
