  • A day in the life of a Japanese Toy Maker at Sega Toys in Tokyo Japan. This is what a typical day working in Japan is like at a Toy company as a Japanese worker. We see Japanese work culture throughout the day and see how it is to work in japan as well how it is to live in Japan during this time before work and after work. Kana works at Sega Toys, creating some of the most popular toys in Japan, formed in 1998 from its parent company Sega, one of the largest video game and entertainment companies in the world. Although many of the Sega Sammy companies are located in the same building, Sega Toys operate independently with 110 hard working staff to create award winning toys even with major brands like anpanman and disney. Kana is originally from Aichi prefecture but moved to Yamanashi prefecture to attend university majoring in Regional Sociology. Like many Japanese university students, she started her shushoku katsdo, aka Job Hunting while in school and was able to secure employment before graduation which led her to Tokyo to start a new life and career. And as a person who has a deep appreciation for all things cute and fun, she naturally found a fit at her job for the last 4 years as a Toy Planner creating Japanese toys.

      Thats normal. Thats literally her job. Everywhere in the world in that industry does the same. The idea doesnt have to be out of this world/unique. It can be related to a current project your company has or your team is working on. Example @ 4:45 the little figurine is one of her 50 ideas/products last year, which, Im assuming was part of the "beatcats" project that her team was working on.

    I'm always amazed at the incredible behind the scenes logistics Paolo has to go through to 1) get permission from the company, the worker, and other related office/co-workers to allow him to showcase their lives, products, etc. Equally amazing are all the things he does like recording the waking up and morning routine scenes (I'm sure they had to wake up earlier to let him in their apartment), as well as getting ahead to the train station platform to capture the worker exiting the train!
    I've liked this series a lot and am glad more and more companies are allowing a sneak peek into what it is like to work in different job sectors in Japan!

    • @Metabohai
      @Metabohai 2 роки тому +173

      Ive thought about this. And in this video atleast it seems like they met at the train station for the first time as he introduces the video there and says how excited he is. As he goes home with her later then I assume they recreate the morning routine as this would be easier probably. No Idea how he captured her walking to the train station then though. We really need a "a day in the life of paolo" lol.

    To me it’s really interesting that Kana majored in sociology and became a toy designer! I have a friend from college who works for a toy company as a designer in a major city here in the US, and one of the hiring requirements for her department was for them to have some type of design / art degree. (My friend has a BA Illustration degree) A sociology major makes sense though, for this type of job. You need to understand trends and human behavior to know what kids will want, after all!

Also, she enters i assume around 9am or something like that, only 30min commuting i think that being Japan its awesome. The working time its also incredible for being japan, she made her 8h (+lunch time) and went home. She started the day at a pretty nice hour in the morning and left not so late in the afternoon and didnt make extra hours (although it seems some of her coworkers did).
