Hey, I'm Japanese. If you have any questions about Japan or what it's like living here, go ahead and ask. I'll answer as best I can.

I'm mainly using ChatGPT for translations. I'm fine with discussing sensitive topics like religion or politics.

i hear japan will repeal article 9 and acquire nuclear deterrence, what is the demographic division on the issue

>>212436350
Thanks for the question.

The main controversy around Article 9 is that Japan can’t engage in war unless attacked first. That’s the part most people who want to revise it focus on. The nuclear debate comes up when people discuss how far Japan should go in terms of self-defense.

Across all generations, one common view is that no one wants war. Older generations tend to believe that if Japan shows a non-aggressive stance, others won’t attack — so they think military power isn't necessary.

Younger people often believe that Japan should at least have the means to defend itself, and that our current capabilities are too limited. Views on nuclear weapons vary between individuals, but overall, it’s still unlikely Japan would acquire them anytime soon — not unless we’re directly attacked.

>>212436643

Think about it.

I'm currently working on something else and also doing translations, so my replies might be slow. Sorry about that.

Maybe it's because it costs money.

Is there anyone who thinks Japan should acquire nuclear weapons for self-defense and also not repeal Article 9 or get involved in any of America's retarded wars for Israel? From an outsider's perspective this combination seems so obviously right but I get the impression these views don't go together very often

The reason for the school bag is that the school has decided on it and it is sturdy.

We don't need it because we spend a lot of taxpayer money on things like nuclear weapons called US military bases.
I think we will have nuclear weapons when the US military withdraws.

It's not him, but it makes me feel bad.
I mostly ignore him because it's a waste of time dealing with people who use derogatory terms without caring about them.

>>212436806
I was pointed out about this, so I looked it up and it seems there isn’t an official rule.
However, many people probably still use it because it’s durable and part of the culture.

>>212436384
not OP. but it seems to me that it overlaps with the typical realists/leftists divide with the typical demographics of the respective supporters as seen in the west.
leftists claim to keep the article 9, although we are facing the crisis of our national security.

>Is bullying a huge problem or is it like in the west where people make a big deal out of it even if its rare irl?
In Japan, there are no poor districts except in special areas, so rich and poor often go to the same schools.
So abused children and children from poor families are very noticeable.

>>212436908
How do you want to be called then in short form?
>>212436962
That is sad. Does anybody defend the poor kids or do they have to defend themselves?

Post eye or LARP

>>212436988
>How do you want to be called then in short form?
If you say "nip", it is acceptable because it shows a little care.
The word "jap" is not acceptable because it was originally used as "Fxxkin' Jap" or "kxxl Jap". So, it cannot be tolerated.

>>212436243 (OP)
Why are japanese women so aggresively into whites?

>>212437119
This is very funny to me because Nip always sounded way more offensive and insulting to us.

>>212436988
>That is sad. Does anybody defend the poor kids or do they have to defend themselves?
Of course, teachers and adults advocate and support as far as they can see.
But it does not reach inside the children's world.
This is the same in the U.S., isn't it? No one notices until an incident occurs.

how do you personally feel about piracy?
I know it's illegal but piracy is pretty much how anime/manga became world famous and made more tourists interested in Japan.

>>212437150
The difference is that "worst" is now "bad."
Ignore it depending on what the conversation is about.
The biggest problem is people who use the word without any malice at all, just ignorance.

It’s just that the Japanese people trying to communicate for that reason stand out more —

My biggest gripe is how byzantine the industry is. You pay for the product, the japanese publisher, then the local distributor, even online sites like PIXIV have restrictions and taxes.
I would rather fly to the Comic LO office and hand them an envelope of cash.

>>212437575
The public understands what's going on — they've already felt it firsthand.
Politicians, on the other hand, either don’t get it… or they do, and this is what they’re doing anyway.

Hello communist.
How is your politcal activity in these days?

>>212437664
If it's an official, approved channel, then we should support it financially — they’re the ones providing it, after all.
If you can save yourself the trouble, that’s fine too, and handing it over directly is also a good option.

I'm very positive about AI — as long as it doesn’t violate copyright, of course.
Genetic modification in humans, on the other hand, is a much more sensitive issue, and I think most people are against it.

Why is that?
Is there a personality incompatibility with Americans?

VERY Japanese post

>>212439451
I'm not sure I understand the question, but perhaps you mean “staying up late”.

>>212439564
I think a lot of Japanese people feel this way.
Though you could also say that most are still just watching to see how things play out.

>>212439611
The as long as it doesn’t violate copyright part specifically is what's very Japanese not suspending judgment about AI

>>212439288
AI is very useful, but my concern is that the information and technology it is based on is diminishing.

>>212439611
Just a few people maliciously lying on the web will fool the AI.
And NPCs who trust the AI will assume it is the truth, so I still don't trust it.

>>>212438734
The treatment of people born in Japan to Korean or Chinese parents has become a very sensitive topic in recent years.
That’s partly because their way of thinking often differs from the mainstream Japanese perspective.
Of course, I know they’re not all bad people.

>>212439556
I think there's a few reasons.
Firstly, we see so many of them that it's harder to have an idealized image of them in our heads compared to other groups. Does that make sense? Basically, we see so many of them we see that at least as many of them are as unattractive as we are.
Another big reason I think, is that because it's a lot easier for a mexican to enter the united states illegally we get a lot of low class mexicans with bad genetics, so they look worse compared to other latinas.

>do younger adults still want to depart the countryside and live in Tokyo?
Looking for possibilities in big cities is a universal thing.

Also, there is a surplus of real estate in Japan.
But I don't know if they will rent it out to foreigners.
It would be easy to buy all the housing.

Nice, I’d never heard it before, but it’s a great song.
It gives me a strong sense of nostalgia.
Visually, it feels kind of early 2000s — as a Japanese person, it reminds me of the Heisei era.
From the lyrics and the imagery, it feels like a reflection on good memories from college days and how time has

For most Japanese people, people from other countries — regardless of race — are generally seen the same way: as non-Japanese.
Being white isn’t especially important. Things like appearance and personality matter more.

Also, "otokonoko" (boys who dress or act femininely) don’t really exist in everyday life.
There are a few who do it as a fashion choice, but even then, people who are actually homosexual are probably an even smaller minority.

If we're talking about anime songs, I usually sing things like “UNION” (from *SSSS.GRIDMAN*) and “Idol” (from *Oshi no Ko*).
From older anime, I sing songs from *Precure*, *Dragon Ball*, and even *Tar-chan*.
Lately, I’ve been singing more songs from games like *Uma Musume* and *Gakuen Idolmaster*.
I sing songs from all kinds of genres, though.

Also, I’ve realized this is kind of a sensitive topic.

I heard houses in Japan are built with plywood like the USA
Also do Japanese people really rebuild their houses every 20 years?

>>212442483
how prevalent is car ownership there anyway? is having a driving license still a common thing?

>>212450119
It is difficult to find out how many cars are owned, the current license ownership rate is about 65% of the total population.
Since the percentage of elderly people in Japan is increasing, the license ownership rate is decreasing year by year due to deaths and license returns.

>>212449993
Typical Japanese houses are made of wood and use plywood, but the quality of plywood varies from simple to the latest technology.
>20 years?
Most of them begin to consider rebuilding or renovation after about 40 years.
The main reason for rebuilding is to prepare for earthquakes.

My chance to see them got ruiner by a typhoon. Six years later I am still mad.

Are they famous among anime fans around the world?

Nice VPN and larp, pajeet.

How affordable would you say it is to own a home? Can an average person afford it?

>>212452033
are you seriously asking if the most popular battle shonen after one piece, DBZ and naruto is well known outside japan?

>>212452237
In Japan, there are not many economic advantages to a new house because of the large number of rental properties and low rents, and taxes are quite high.
In a local city, a couple with a combined annual income of about $45,000 can build a small new house.
The price of an existing house varies too much to know without a specific area, age, and size of the house.

>>212452275
I thought Bleach's popularity had already waned.

>>212452887
yeah, but I think asking if otakus know bleach, is like pretending it isn't one of the most popular animes outside japan.

This is the best ED of Bleach, isn't it?

What do they say when you say to them, "Bankai! and what do they say back?

>>212449986
no

>>212453331
dunno, haven't watched anime since SAO.

>>212436243 (OP)
are you actually japanese, or are you a gaijin or zainichi larping as a jap?

>>212436243 (OP)
what is your opinion on metal music?
how popular is metal in japan?

some of my favorite bands are kamelot, blind guardian, avantasia, judas priest, and iron maiden

why is japan getting poorer than poland if you work so hard

>>212452033
More specifically with Bleach fans. Orange Range was my gateway to J-pop. I no longer have much interest in anime, but Japanese music is a different story.

I have a question too! Why are house fires so common in Japanese dramas?

>>212455618
In Korea, It's not popular but some pp like it. there are relatively few decent metal bands in Korea..

Japan's metal scene is slightly larger than Korea's, but the Japanese are not particularly obsessed with metal. The punk scene in Japan is larger than the metal scene, and there is a genre called youth punk. When I think of Japan, I think of punk, math rock, noise, and electronic music.

I bet I know more about the Japanese music scene than that Japanese poster, as an avid DCinside Japanese music forum user

>>212455544
If you’ve got a way to verify it, post it here.

>>212455618
I’m not very familiar with music, so I can’t say for sure, but I don’t think it’s considered mainstream.

>>212455655
All I can say is that the politicians are to blame.
There’s been so little change that I think the whole system has rotted.

I love this band so much it's unreal

>>212456878
Maybe it's because it's a common kind of crime in daily life.
It’s relatively easy to carry out, and maybe it’s often used as a form of revenge too.
Japan doesn’t have many guns or drugs, after all.

>>212457052
Does anyone really listen to kpoop or is it only for overseas?

>>212457872
Even someone like me, who’s not into music, has heard of Ging Nang Boyz — that’s how well-known they are.

How is anal sex percieved in Japan?

>>212458109
I'm not sure exactly what you're asking, but it's just one type of play.
Whether someone will actually do it is about 50/50.
It's usually done when guys want to express love to each other, so I think most Japanese people see it positively as a kind of consensual play. There are even special tools for it.

>>212457972

I would say, most of the people who were born in 80~00s listen to Kpop. But the way of consuming might be different
Normies listen to famous Kpop songs, but Blackpink, Bts are for overseas in general. But at least Korean pp know their songs with below logic
Koreans are like
>Oh, this is popular abroad.
>I should give it a listen.
they can't even understand the fame of the Dynamite(BTS) in the first place

And I've never seen a single person who listen to Stray Kids, Ateez in real life without gaijins

while New Jeans and Aespa <- Many Korean know their song in general

And in my view, Japanese people consume K-pop similarly to Koreans, but a notable thing is that they really like TWICE, and they used to like Kara

>>212457972
>>212458442
What's funny is that Korean men looking for gaijin women often live a life where they don't listen to K-pop, but when they meet westerners in Korea (like in Hongdae), they start to force themselves to listen to it. Conversely, Koreans who are really into K-pop usually don't speak English well and aren't interested in gaijins.

That's why many gaijins come to Korea and think that Koreans are less interested in K-pop than they actually are. But many Koreans love kpop. They just don't like gaijins, and they don't go to gaijin forums

I went through the Incheon airport recently and I think every single Korean man I saw was at least 6' tall.
Are Koreans normally that tall? I feel like most east Asians are a bit short.

Is it true that younger people are using keigo less and less, or not even at all anymore?

>>212436243 (OP)
you will never be japanese

>>212459021
South Koreans are relatively tall in East Asia. However, the real reason is that shorter people tend to go out less

>>212436243 (OP)
How much is a crypto boom to normal people in Japan? Do normal everyday people, from workers, students, even old people, know and invest on crypto?

>>212459057
I think young people can still use polite language properly.
But more formal and old-fashioned honorifics that aren't used in daily life have definitely fallen out of use.
People of all ages tend to feel that complicated keigo is a hassle, so they don’t use it as much as in the past, sticking mostly to simpler polite forms.

>>212459242
People in Japan know what crypto is, but most don’t really understand it, and very few invest in it.
Honestly, investing in general still isn’t that common here.

How would I be treated as a foreigner at a 'leading Japanese tech company' if I do an exchange there with my university (as a tall blonde guy).

>>212459599
Are they not investing because they don't care or because they literally have nothing to invest?

>>212460056
Japanese people will probably show whatever kind of welcome they can, but I’m not sure how you’ll take it. We don’t really do parties in Japan.

>>212460453
How will I be treated professionally though? A company of size will surely have some openness culture in place?

>>212460203
People don’t invest because they don’t know much about investing and are afraid of the risks.
It seems that nowadays schools try to teach in a more positive way as much as possible.

>>212460513
Basically, the culture should be open. As long as you do your job properly, you won’t be disliked (a few mistakes are okay). Also, learning some Japanese little by little will help you be liked even more.

>>212457730
well i didnt vote for them
isn't japan pretty much uniparty with coalitions changing from time to time?

>>212436510
crazy that a major world leader was assassinated not too long ago

>I'm fine with discussing sensitive topics like religion or politics.
in your belief, do you think i'll burn in hell if i kill myself right fucking now. it's so tempting.
