あの缶ビール飲みましたがお店のジョッキで飲む生ビールと同じ味がして本当においしいです。クリーミーな泡がびっくりするほど溢れてきます。ただ蓋が開くだけであんな味がだせるわけではないと思うので、試行錯誤し商品を作り出した開発者に感謝の気持ちがわきました。技術力に感服です。
常に人の気持ちに立って考える習慣がある日本人の開発者が消費者の気持ちになって作る商品は心がこもっている感じがします。
My dad worked on industrial engineering projects with Japanese R&D companies and the best advice he gave me in my career that he learned from his Japanese counterparts was Kaizen - don’t stop improving the product even when you think it works and talk to literally everyone you can and get feedback. I never realised how this affected everyday life until I moved to the US from SEA and everything is very user unfriendly 😅
This is one of my favorite channels because of videos like this, brings together Japan and tech (sometimes at the same time like this ) 😁😁
Love this video so much mayuko! You really reframed my perspective of viewing many of these Japanese inventions as whimsical and weird toys to much more thoughtfully-made creations with a different value-system in mind. Iterative, rather than disruptive. So cool!
Hola Mayuko! I actually love the way you are shifting your content, from Comp Sciency stuff towards the life that accompanies it, all mushed together through your own "Japanese-American background + current life events" lens.
I really enjoyed the way the script is narrated in this one. It felt as a mini-documentary, but on a not-so dense topic. Keep it up and don't let the view count worry you. This content is not great, it's wonderful 🍵🤠
「出る杭は打たれるが、出過ぎた杭は打たれない」
Thank you for exploring this interesting topic. As silly as it sounds, it reminds me of the Amazon Echo Silver Saturday Night Live sketch. The people who these inventions are intended towards ultimately have wants, needs, and priorities aligned in a different direction than a lot of other places. You mention the desire for something to be more hands on, or improving something more hyper specific to the needs of the local people. Thank you for sharing this video. Thank you Etsuko Ichihara! Sharing love and inspiration from New York.
Thanks Mayuko! I really like the perspective about robots as being perceived as friendly in Japan. It's refreshing.
This is the coolest and most informative vid I’ve seen on Japan’s approach to inventing, thank you mayuko!
As a product manager, your videos are very cool and informative. This video inspired me to think more creatively and benchmark what the Japenese are doing as an example.
6:49 A whole philosophy in one sentence.
I have been fascinated with the strange characteristics of Japanese culture for a long time, unusual designs and ideas in particular have always struck me in a special way. It was really satisfying to see a more involved investigation into the topic!
The background music on your videos is always so lovely.
This was an especially wonderful video! I hope we'll get more Muko-mentaries in this style if there are other topics you want to explore, you're really good at it. I loved the gentle personal tone your presenting had which is sometimes rare in explainer-type content. It was soothing, enlightening, just delightful - really loved it!!
Hello Mayuko! Awesome Video!! I would sure hope that as your interest continues and deepens towards the thoughts, and likely theories of "creative weird innovations" and its innovators, perhaps you may share addition content geared to expanding this wonderful world's reality. Stay Happy and Keep Creating! -Bob...
mayuko: Whoa, camera upgrade? Looks great! 🤠
Hi Mayuko, thanks for the interview and your thoughts on the topic. Since Ms. Ichihara is digital media artist, I want to ask if innovation in Japan is more focused on artistry than other Western nations or it is just because we listened to Ms. Ichihara's perspective on the matter and her life. Also I want to know if you would weigh in how much does profitability weighs in in what is considered innovative & successful in Japan compared to Western nations such as America. Thanks you!
it's like one big creative hackathon event but a whole country haha 😂
Nice take, happy to get a Japanese perspective on innovation and productivity from Kinshasa..
Interesting! I had never noticed that we have had tons of robot-centric animes that came from Japan. It makes sense now
what i love abt Japan's technology is that they don't fear to innovation, they know that each little new thing can turn big and resolve simple problems that are actually big if you think that is not commom to find in other places!

@@missplainjane3905 no, why?
@@missplainjane3905 ok :D
Very inspiring! Next thing to build in Japan is convenient finance and payment systems
They’re really trying to channel Mr. Electric with that robot
So interesting. I’m Japanese and I’ve never really lived abroad so it was so interesting to know how Japanese think and are versus how Americans or people aboard think and are. Thank you so much for the amazing video!
Wow Japanese people are very inspiring! BTW, we are learning about Lean Production in business right now and "Kaizen" is pretty cool thing! I use Kaizen a lot in my room and desk setup
It might be worthwhile to have a deeper discussion about the idea of innovation as Americans perceive it, both on a personal level and a software industry level. Often times "innovation" means making a ton of money, or making our lives slightly more convenient, without much consideration toward the human cost, like Uber, taxi drivers' jobs, laws around contract work, etc. Technology for its own sake can be more harmful than we realize, and I appreciate that the Japanese approach seems to consider societal consequences as a part of invention and technological evolution.
Well as my creative mentor used to say to me, *"if you could make it (anything), then just do it."* i.e. do it just for the sake of making it real, realizing your ideas first, and everything else can come after that (e.g. the potential business side of it, etc)
lol I like how 鉄腕アトム was translated as Atom instead of Astro Boy
thanks!
Because they have the power of friendship of course
Reminds me about the story of the company that offered traditional Bhuddist funeral services for the Sony AIBO robot dog.
Thanks for this video. I lived in Japan for a year some time ago and loved the small innovation creations I found everywhere. Japan is well structured, in my opinion, and all the cool gadgets and conveniences they have scattered around the cities (I visited Kyoto and Tokyo specifically) were amazing. Thanks for this video and the extra insights!
It just that made in Japan and culture way. I like things that Made In Japan because damn good quality and last longer I can trust.
I can't answer your question, but I'm French Québécoise and I'm grateful for 1) Japan Metal Guitar innovations. They're in a league of their own. The music is just different and often the dedication to the instrument also is. Can't be imitated. 2) Sapporo beer. One of the best beer in the World and more importantly, best quality control in the World. 3) Toyota & Mazda cars. Best cars for the money. End of story. Attention to details is what other people credit the Japanese people for.
Will you be dropping more code; hoodies?
Hey mayuko... I need advice im sure i want to get a job in software so i want to do comp sci but I also think doing Comp Eng will give me a more variety of jobs... all I want to know is if I do Comp Eng can I still do all the software jobs I like even though its a more hardaware focused degree?
Thanks!
Thank you Chii!
Plese bring more interesting and informative videos about Japan and it's inovation industry.
the name at 10:12 for create something that you can feel or touch please
doraemon was my favourite show
8:00 - 8:40
Since Japan focuses on innovation to being human-centric I think they are more likely to build robots that will be on our side. I've been hyped about A.I. recently. Do you know about algorithmic bias?
I'd like to hear more about this ➕1️⃣
imagine innovating to provide a net positive to the world
Because they're the best
Hello from China ,
Lol, ok, now let's talk about full body anime pillows 😆
Beautiful= mayuko
🧡🧡🧡
After you've mentioned AI and how western people feel about it, I have one request for you: Who is that one or multiple people in the Sales Department that FEEL THIS WAY, I wanna KNOW their names and have a nice little chat with them)
how about elon musk?
Can you talk about the phenomenon that not many Japanese are living at another nations or be willing to live out side of Japan, comparing other Asian countries?
Japanese weird innovations stemmed from notable anime Doraemon.
I am not really scared of AI or anything but I have one thing I agree with the West, It would be hard to make AI our friends. Because friends do what? they help out each other, they have fun with each other AND if the rewarding system for AI is just trying to be TRUE, then I guess we might have to rethink the definition of 'friend' otherwise I (personally) would consider this as slavery. But that's just my point of view, speaking for myself
Yeah most people around the world don’t accepted the idea of a robot as it going to stop our jobs and to be honest we don’t believe they will replace humans but they are getting so good and some are sold for different reasons yet not to to live at home even so I should the healthcare system should make to serve people
Have you heard of Sadhguru Mayuko??? Please 🙏🏻🙂
Love 🇯🇵 from 🇮🇳
Pretty
Why you came to usa
Should I learn japanesess language
It's hard
I guess if AI actually becomes powerful and evil, I'll go to Japan and get citizenship there
Did you quit your corporate Job?
I love u
I’m actually really sick of the US capitalist notion of innovation and disruption at this point.
Haaaa
do you think japan is inherently unqiue
Ok... now it makes sense.. so you are a Japanese-American ... !!! you are very attractive women - ( well that just sounded so grand pa )
Thanks!
Thank you Steven!!
