Someone at work was trying to impress some Japanese girls we work with and bragging about how they went to a Japanese restaurant and slurped ramen loudly, because it's respectful and a compliment to the chef. I just sat there thinking "Yeah..... I won't say anything..."
I got so annoyed with my Japanese friend for slurping because and told her and she told me in Japan it’s supposed to be a compliment to the chef. I watched this video and now I’m so confused.
Shelby Hughes I'm pretty sure slurping noodles isn't a compliment to a chief as a Japanese,but it's just the way we have noodles and soup at once. as two of them said in this video, if you want to show your appreciation to food they serve, you just say "this is really good" or "thank for the meal" looking at ppl working at a ramen restaurant.
@@shelbyhughes6252 Slurping doesn't mean anything. It's not a compliment, but it's not considered rude either. It's just how you eat noodles. Trying to not slurp noodles in soup is weird IMO.
I do this everyday since I learned how to take a bath and I really liked it cuz I can sit while taking a bath but when we recently moved to canada the shower and toilet bowl is separated and I really missed our bathroom back home in our hometown **sigh**

It's not just the US, Japan has a long history of importing Chinese thing's because their quirky, the ancient Greeks made of hilarious stories about people in different countries having black fluids because they were dark skinned.
learning to clean up after yourself should be normal and is a great idea. teaching kids how to live in the world is great, knowledge alone will not get you everywhere.
This used to be a thing in Australia, like 30 years back. Kinda. At the end of each term, they would get kids to sand their own desks for an hour or two because they couldn't afford to hire actual workers, and they'd get kids to wipe off the blackboards each day. My mother once pointed out that there was gum under the table and the teacher responded by saying, "You put it there, didn't you? Clean it up!" So she spent the rest of the 30 minutes scraping off gum from under all of the desks instead of actually learning anything. This taught her not to point out any trash and, instead, ignore it. The closest thing to cleaning that I did was Clean Up Australia Day and collecting the rolls, I guess. Nothing comes to mind except, you know, just putting your own trash in the bin and being forced to pick up other people's trash if you come a few minutes late to school.
Kinetic RWBY when we had "bin scab duty" we had to collect a bucket full of rubbish before we could finish, so kids just grabbed the rubbish out of proper bins and it was all over in minutes. So teachers were so dumb, or just maybe to trustworthy, and thought we did an amazing job. I felt guilty when I pulled the wool over teachers who were to easily trusting kids. I knew how hard to was to get.

I don't know how long after the hair treatment this video was filmed, but I must say Rachel, your hair looks so silky and healthy!! I wonder when that sort of thing will be available elsewhere in the world.
+GenieY23 This is permanent hair straightening!! Lasts until your hair grows out :D You should be able to find it all over. I did it two months ago, uploading that video next!
That one lasted about 3 weeks. This one is so much better! Getting the ultrasonic treatment twice already costs more than this so I would definitely recommend permanent straightening over that! The only thing is you can't do it on damaged hair, which includes a lot of dyed hair I think? My friends so far have all said they can't do it since they dye their hair.
I just found this channel from Juns Kitchen. I love your videos, they're really calming and in an odd way... inspiring. I like to see you both and your individual hobbies and outlooks on things, it gives me comfort in kind of exploring my own interests in life. Thanks for making the video!
It's just a different culture in general. Many think American culture is weird, every culture is different. Japan culture is quite similar to Vietnamese culture (I'm Vietnamese) and Korean culture. I'm Vietnamese American and it's good to see differences.
I don't think Japanese culture and western culture is that different, tho. If differences are weirdnesses to you then, I think China or southeast asian countries are more weird than Japan. There are Christmas, Halloween, and Valentine's day in Japan, you know.
"Japan's literacy rate is nearly 100%" This, I actually can comment on. The Japanese government defines "literacy" as the ability to read Hiragana and Katakana, since technically the Japanese spoken language can be written using only one or the other (or both) of these. Going by this definition, I would be considered "literate" in Japanese, which I definitely am not. Hiragana and Katakana are very easy to read and write, much more so than English. However, there are about 2000 Kanji recognized by the government as also necessary to functionally read Japanese, but aren't counted as "necessary" to constitute literacy.
"Very easy to read and write.. much more than English" Hahahahah just because english spelling system is fucked up doesnt mean katakana and hiragana are easy. Maybe you are doing a lot of mistakes and thinking "well this is easy"... nope
I've been trying to learn Japanese on my own for a while and I've come to the conclusion that I'll worry about the Kanji later. I want to get the Hiragana and Katakana down and memorized and focus on learning vocab an grammar. I'm sure I'll learn some Kanji along the way, and not that I don't want to (I mean, if I really wanna learn everything I'll HAVE TO at some point). But as of right now in my new stage of learning Japanese the Kanji seem very daunting to me, and I don't want that to be the reason I don't learn the language.
@@goblinleafyboi Don't worry too much about the kanji right away. Most children growing up in Japan don't start learning kanji until they are mostly fluent in Japanese so there's no need to stress about it for a while
@@ttarsi it's the same as we learn the abcd, what makes it easier for them is that they have fixed write and sound, so if you hear something, it wouldn't be suddenly have different meaning and writing, but in english, there's this type of which one should have double character, or like this have the same sounding back (or vocal sound, I don't really know what you call these" but for example, y"ou", cr"e"w, cr"ue"l, wh"o", kangar"oo", which all sounded like "u", even if they are not written by the letter "u". While in Japan, a will always be a, u will always use u, and not suddenly being writtern by oo, ue, and etc. And I think that's what they mean by easier. And I agree, it's not easy as well, but if you grow up with them, the sentences really do have easier form than english that have differemt kind and so many kind of sentences form.
Bathroom floors are also usually slanted/curved towards a floor drain. This is something that should just exist around the world because it makes total sense.
I hate it when houses only have toilets in the bathroom. That way you can't go when someone else is taking a shower and if it's too close to surfaces that e.g. shampoo bottles are placed on I get nervous I might bump into them and have them fall into the toilet bowl. And the smell... that's probably the worst part, because I hate smelling toilets when I'm using a shower/bath.
Error In The Matrix Unit tub is less expensive and saves space, arguably more convenient. Showering while sitting in an open area is easier and less cramped. Also, having the shower control is way better for water usage and is something I don't really see, in Canada at least. Some higher-end places probably do have a separate shower. Anyways, having the floor drain and slope itself is what I'm mostly talking about, though.
For number 16, it's common for any restaurant in the world where trainees just do one job for years before they get promoted. My aunt has been cracking and separating egg (whites and yolks) for 2 years now. She'll be promoted soon, but being a chef really takes a long time unless you have money and connections.

***** _"They might have "debunked", at most, one or two if them. The vast majority were true."_ First of all, that is beside the point. Regardless of how much of it was debunking, it's still good to debunk ...and even for the bits they don't debunk, it's good to check/confirm the veracity of the claims. ...but also, what you're saying is nonsense. 9gag had 25 claims. You say just one or two were false? I count about 14 (of 25) statements, that are true and not in need of further clarification, to not be misleading ...and about 7, that are downright false (one of which they didn't debunk, though). Note that they never really said if the kancho thing was true or false. (it does exists, sure, but... is it common? Is it accepted?)
Statistically that may be true. But after just watching the video, one does indeed get the impression that the majority were true. As for debunking? I think you just wanted to use that word. Bet you check everything people say on snopes too.
crazy808ish _"Statistically that may be true."_ Statistically, and in every other sense. _"one does indeed get the impression that the majority were true."_ Well the _majority_ was true, but a very large part, wasn't ...and even some of the true things, were misleading ...and about 3-6 of them, were far from weird. Rather trivial, quite frankly. (e.g. Japanese people drink a lot of coffee? So what? Most people do) _"As for debunking? I think you just wanted to use that word."_ WTF? How would that even make any sense? I used the word, because it is exactly the thing they are doing, that I wished to voice my approval of. I used the word, because it is the term that refers to the concept I spoke of. You seem to have a chip on your shoulder, about something. Are you angered at cherished beliefs of yours, that you've had debunked or something? (being robbed of ones misconceptions, is something to be *grateful* for ...which is why I make a point out of always thanking people, who make me realise any of my mistakes or misconceptions)
ZarlanTheGreen Lol, you're kidding. The one who seems to be angered and have a chip on their shoulder is you, making 28 lines out of 3 sentences. That wasn't worth it.
Funny to see this mentioned, "hikikomori". Although it is painted as a Japanese phenomenon, I think this happens all over the world. I did a paper on it and took a look at the role of the (absent) father in the Japanese family in connection to the hikikomori. It was very interesting.
I wish people would stop spreading weird facts about Japan, and point to Japan as being weird... :< Everytime when I say 'I want to travel to Japan' people are laughing or say 'eww it's so gross over there'. Yeah righ...
I’d love to visit Japan someday, even though people consider it ’weird’. That ’weirdness’ is one of the reasons why I want to visit Japan. I love everything bit different :)
Japan has many unique things, but those things are usually weird and unique for Japanese people as well. It’s not like there are robot restaurants and “soineyas” everywhere. In fact there are only a few (or maybe even just one)
Its usually very sneaky. Ive seen kids set their up in a pointing motion on their friends chair as they go to sit down and BOY they would holler to the moon and back. Like keep you fingers out your friends butt...literally!
Marley Dees it’s weird in Japan because traditionally those three things are in separate rooms. They put them together in one room only if the house is really small. And that’s because as Rachel and Jun said, you’re supposed to shower outside of the bathtub, and then soak. The water in the bathtub is supposed to be used by all of the family members, that’s why it has to be clean and used only for soaking. If you’re showering outside of your tub, it means that you can’t have anything on your sink or it will get wet 😅😂 that’s why it’s better if you have the tub in a separate room.
There is a difference the word here is "wetroom" the drain in the floor denotes this as in don't store dry towels or tp on the back of the toilet as while you shower it could get wet.
Amberley Canegitta just in case no one has mentioned it, the shortest is in Hongkong witg only 3 steps... also the longest is in hk as well which goes up 135 m
This is the most genuine channel about Japan. They talk from their experiences and after doing enough research I assume since nothing in the conversation seem to exaggerate on any particular topic. I feel I learn more about Japan from their channel than any other blog site. Plus, Rachel is so entertaining that it's the first time I have binge watched a UA-cam channel. Also watching Jun's reactions is fun. 😂
I recently did a presentation for a course at my college on coffee and Japan DOES import about 85% of our Jamaican coffee! Yyeeaahh! Love you guys and love this video!! 😁😁
The fruits in Japan are quite expensive but their quality is not to be underestimated, you will never find a bland tasting melon nor any other fruit in Japan, they're all freaking good, high standard comes with high price I guess but it's worth it
At both my schools, the students clean after school, but we still have janitors as well. Like what Rachel was saying about the bigger messes, janitors will do that. They also trim the plants/trees/whatever, and clean the outside areas and do the more time consuming stuff like vaccuuming or sweeping the common things etc. All these articles that are like "OMG you won't BELIEVE what CRAZY things JAPAN does!" are so bizarre. I find they tend to fall into three categories: Something many countries do, something normal that is made to sound weird, or 100% false. And I tooootally feel you on the love hotels. The number of times I've seen incredible buildings and been disappointed is embarrassing. :p ALSO: As a disabled person, five step escalators are genius and I love them.
I like seeing Jun's response, to some of the misconceptions looking like"WTF are people getting these kinds of ideas about our country?" Lol. Like "Most Japanese men" and being like, wth, ha.
In Denmark we clean the class rooms ourselves too. Like the blackboard, tables, put things back to where they belong, put the chairs on the tables and so on. But not the floor, we had the cleaning ladies to do that. We only had to do all this when we were young like 7-12 years to teach us the meaning of responsibility :)
I'm agoraphobic, I'm 24 and I spent 4 years housebound, it was the hardest 4 years of my life. Even tho I had video games and music and books, the lack of social communication means it was very lonely. I'm trying hard to over come this, I still have days/weeks when I cannot go out but my dream is to live in Japan, so I'm trying hard to overcome this. I didn't know it was an "acceptable thing" in Japan.
It's not an acceptable thing, they just have a name for it. Putting things in quote marks doesn't make much sense, just say something else if that's not what you mean
Sorry dude, but it's not 'acceptable'. I mean some might don't care and usually your family or people who have relation with you will y'know worried, ashamed, angry or in a rare case, happy.
Uuugh! Aragophobia is the worst! I have epilepsy and can't drive, but I Had it SEVERELY at ages 14-18...got a bit better, but not by much between 19-23, even though I got married to an Air Force guy and had to move to Mississippi, It took all I had to even go next door alone. Moved to OKC and had kids. The kids made it easier when we had to go places ( just them and I), but that was extremely rare. I went on a plane (Phoenix to and from Oklahoma City ) alone twice and survived, but it was draining and had to keep myself occupied. I got on anti-anxiety/panic Meds and began therapy for tons of stuff, including my Aragophobia, but with a lot of work and Meds, when I was 24, I was able to go places on my own. I had to force myself to be light-hearted and happy to fight the constant impending panic. I'm 36 now and still struggle with it, but it's mainly because of health issues. I still get days where the thought of having leave the house fills me with dread. I know EVERYTHING you described. Are you in therapy or on Meds?
In general, kids in America don't get the kind of academic pressure that kids in Japan or other Asian countries get. Instead of trying harder to get better at a subject, an American kid may just give up and choose another subject/hobby they like better. Or decide to focus on sports instead of academics. And many American parents are ok with that, and don't pressure their kids to study or get along with the teacher. Too many American parents also try to argue with the teacher in favor of their children. Asian parents usually give the teacher free reign to teach how he/she sees fit.
In my experience, Asian teaching results in good test results, but poor creativity. If you want scientific and technical creativity, cram school is not the way to go. The cram school approach produces kids who know everything, but who have no clue what to do with that knowledge.

One of my English teachers actually taught English in a Japanese school, so when I did a pamphlet on Japan for a project she just came over and started talking to me about it, it was great. She is also fluent in Japanese, Romania and German (she taught in all of these places)
I think it's mostly an Asian and South East Asian thing. It's not really a compliment but more like slurping kind of cools down whatever you're eating - which of course is referring to soup. That's the way that I was taught.
Allison Tran nope if you say South East Asian things, i feel unconfortable if someone slurping their soup or noodle, and its not proper things when you eat on restaurant or family restorant, even we must not clink plate with spoon, they say its annoying sound. Its in Indonesia culture or javanese culture actually
The UK's Literacy rate is also 99% also. With 99.99% of Children under the age of 10, (approx). I was quite shocked to see America's literacy rate, 14% cannot read..
12% of the UK has non white ethnicity. .. Yet we still have 99% Literacy, same as Japan. Race has nothing to do with it, it's the educational systems of each country, it seems that the USA is lacking.
I would say it's probably our immigrant population, however I'd hesitate to say it's our "illegal" immigrant population. I'm fairly certain there are plenty of legal immigrants from countries with poor public education. I'm curious if this 14% literacy means literate in the common language of a country or literate in any language? We do have a lot of people who don't who aren't literate in English, so if it means in the dominant language than our immigrants, legal or not, could be what brings us down. However, it may not mean they aren't literate in another language. I also wouldn't think in terms of race because it's about education, not "average IQ." Someone with a low IQ can still be taught to read, regardless of their race. Anyways, I'm simply speculating since I myself know little on the topic (I did a little research while typing this, but I didn't dig too deep). If someone happens to know if literacy in a country includes foreign languages, I would be interested. I realize the very definition of the word includes any language, but I'm wondering if this apparent survey that yielded our 14% included foreign languages or not.
So tired of bullshit things like this keep getting spread around about things that are rare, fake, old, or otherwise wrong, as if it's totally true, just to make Japan seem wierder than it is. Thanks for the video, guys!
I actually did not know that Ganguro was a fad and is absolutely no longer a trend any longer. The way Western types portray it as being a normal part of Japanese culture is staggering. It doesn't help that there are quite a few anime with Ganguro characters.
I like the weird Japan! To me most strange things on internet about Japan only make Japan more attractive. They are wired but exceptional, especially some anime plots. How wonderful if there were some weird but good places in this standard world.
same thing the people believe the children of 14yo could have sex with adult with no problems, which is totally false, it is a crime. they need to know the laws were updated decades ago
A love hotel is something many Americans need when they have roommates in their apartments, talking from friend's experience studying in the U.S. Bringing your gf or bf home to stay overnight often is not acceptable when you're sharing the apartment with someone else. Idk why many think it's ok to bother other people in the same apartment.
Yes yes yes yes yes. It is so awkward. I was visiting my friend in college and the people in the dorm next to us started doing it and it was awkward. Also for people who still live at home or with relatives. Like that has to be awk.
You don't have to think about it very long before you realize love hotels are actually practical when a couple really wants some privacy for specific reasons. So I'm not at all surprised to see how popular they are in Japan, I mean, it makes sense.
About slurping I'm Japanese. Yeah, sometimes slurping is good thing because about certain kind of noodles food, like ramen or Soba, by slurping we can also smell the tasty soup and it helps us enjoy the dish more.
Been watching for a while and I always fee sad when I have to break it to strangers that Japan isn't the anime heaven they think it is and are more likely to get bullied over there. I've broken so many dreams.
There's this idea that in Japan you HAVE to act a certain way or else someone will get mad at you or you will disrespect some one. It's not like that. They're people too. They're not robots. If you mess up and do something wrong no one is going to attack you with their samurai sword haha. Also people in America cherry pick weird things that are "in Japan" and act like that is the norm, but that stuff is everywhere not just Japan
Anytime I hear someone say something is weird I think that person just hatched. They THINK they are saying, "Yay, I'm superior because I do normal things. You guys, there's something wrong with you." But it just makes them sound dumb and small-minded.
Great video ! BTW in france, we have toilet separated from the rest of the bathroom (in a lot of houses, not in all the houses). It's because of bad smells...

Agree. If the kids knows they will be cleaning the school, they will keep it clean in the first place.

The right term is Life skills. In Japan they start teaching from pre-school.

Oh, I thought this was after the ultrasonic hair treatment that you uploaded a while ago :)
Did that one last long?
That one lasted about 3 weeks. This one is so much better! Getting the ultrasonic treatment twice already costs more than this so I would definitely recommend permanent straightening over that! The only thing is you can't do it on damaged hair, which includes a lot of dyed hair I think? My friends so far have all said they can't do it since they dye their hair.
Rachel & Jun Thanks for the information! :) will wait for you video with the permanent straightening xx
and her face is so white ....
I just found this channel from Juns Kitchen. I love your videos, they're really calming and in an odd way... inspiring. I like to see you both and your individual hobbies and outlooks on things, it gives me comfort in kind of exploring my own interests in life. Thanks for making the video!
just seeing the thumbnail i was like

Many japanese men refuse to leave their rooms.
Yah we have that in america too... their called world of warcraft players!
Phoenixesper1 im a warcraft player and not only do I leave the room, I have a job :/
It's 2018, that stereotype lost relevance like eleven years ago dude.
maybe it was a joke referencing the stereotype use in the article of BuzzFeed
obsolete joke 5/10
they're called redditors now
Well 42 married, have job but I still play all genres of videogames in my spare time time.
Japan isn't really a weird place, it's just different than most other cultures and needs some getting used to for a westerner.
Right, Japan's "wierdness" is a good thing!
It's just a different culture in general. Many think American culture is weird, every culture is different. Japan culture is quite similar to Vietnamese culture (I'm Vietnamese) and Korean culture. I'm Vietnamese American and it's good to see differences.
Actually who cares about differences
As long as people enjoy it, then it's fine
Their "Weirdness" isn't even widespread. It's mainly based around a few small areas in Tokyo.
I don't think Japanese culture and western culture is that different, tho. If differences are weirdnesses to you then, I think China or southeast asian countries are more weird than Japan. There are Christmas, Halloween, and Valentine's day in Japan, you know.
"Japan's literacy rate is nearly 100%"
This, I actually can comment on. The Japanese government defines "literacy" as the ability to read Hiragana and Katakana, since technically the Japanese spoken language can be written using only one or the other (or both) of these. Going by this definition, I would be considered "literate" in Japanese, which I definitely am not. Hiragana and Katakana are very easy to read and write, much more so than English. However, there are about 2000 Kanji recognized by the government as also necessary to functionally read Japanese, but aren't counted as "necessary" to constitute literacy.
"Very easy to read and write.. much more than English"
Hahahahah just because english spelling system is fucked up doesnt mean katakana and hiragana are easy. Maybe you are doing a lot of mistakes and thinking "well this is easy"... nope
I've been trying to learn Japanese on my own for a while and I've come to the conclusion that I'll worry about the Kanji later. I want to get the Hiragana and Katakana down and memorized and focus on learning vocab an grammar. I'm sure I'll learn some Kanji along the way, and not that I don't want to (I mean, if I really wanna learn everything I'll HAVE TO at some point). But as of right now in my new stage of learning Japanese the Kanji seem very daunting to me, and I don't want that to be the reason I don't learn the language.
@@goblinleafyboi Don't worry too much about the kanji right away. Most children growing up in Japan don't start learning kanji until they are mostly fluent in Japanese so there's no need to stress about it for a while
@@ttarsi it's the same as we learn the abcd, what makes it easier for them is that they have fixed write and sound, so if you hear something, it wouldn't be suddenly have different meaning and writing, but in english, there's this type of which one should have double character, or like this have the same sounding back (or vocal sound, I don't really know what you call these" but for example, y"ou", cr"e"w, cr"ue"l, wh"o", kangar"oo", which all sounded like "u", even if they are not written by the letter "u". While in Japan, a will always be a, u will always use u, and not suddenly being writtern by oo, ue, and etc. And I think that's what they mean by easier. And I agree, it's not easy as well, but if you grow up with them, the sentences really do have easier form than english that have differemt kind and so many kind of sentences form.
imagine being in school and have to learn 3 different types of your language like thats so crazy
Kinda suspicious that Japan drinks an awful lot of coffee. You know who also drinks a lot of coffee?
Ghouls.
Get your quinques out fellas
EmmieXMay x im assuming thats where the author got the idea ghouls can only drink coffee
Oh no, everyone in Japan are Ghouls!
DOES RACHEL HAVE ANY BITE MARKS?! WE HAVE TO FIND OUT!
Finnish people also drink a lot of coffee SO ARE FINNS GHOULS
I just thought of the Anime Tokyo Ghoul....
You know, the idea of having a bathroom and a separate toilet room doesn't sound half bad. I wouldn't have to worry about getting water on the floor.
Bathroom floors are also usually slanted/curved towards a floor drain. This is something that should just exist around the world because it makes total sense.
I hate it when houses only have toilets in the bathroom. That way you can't go when someone else is taking a shower and if it's too close to surfaces that e.g. shampoo bottles are placed on I get nervous I might bump into them and have them fall into the toilet bowl. And the smell... that's probably the worst part, because I hate smelling toilets when I'm using a shower/bath.
Error In The Matrix
Unit tub is less expensive and saves space, arguably more convenient. Showering while sitting in an open area is easier and less cramped. Also, having the shower control is way better for water usage and is something I don't really see, in Canada at least. Some higher-end places probably do have a separate shower.
Anyways, having the floor drain and slope itself is what I'm mostly talking about, though.
Error In The Matrix Push button on handheld showerhead for water, rather than water running literally all the time.
OvenfreshDeth yea that and if someones gotta use the toilet they can in a seperate room
For number 16, it's common for any restaurant in the world where trainees just do one job for years before they get promoted. My aunt has been cracking and separating egg (whites and yolks) for 2 years now. She'll be promoted soon, but being a chef really takes a long time unless you have money and connections.

Debunking myths is always good :)
ZarlanTheGreen Debunking? They might have "debunked", at most, one or two if them. The vast majority were true.
***** _"They might have "debunked", at most, one or two if them. The vast majority were true."_
First of all, that is beside the point. Regardless of how much of it was debunking, it's still good to debunk ...and even for the bits they don't debunk, it's good to check/confirm the veracity of the claims.
...but also, what you're saying is nonsense. 9gag had 25 claims. You say just one or two were false?
I count about 14 (of 25) statements, that are true and not in need of further clarification, to not be misleading ...and about 7, that are downright false (one of which they didn't debunk, though).
Note that they never really said if the kancho thing was true or false. (it does exists, sure, but... is it common? Is it accepted?)
Statistically that may be true. But after just watching the video, one does indeed get the impression that the majority were true.
As for debunking? I think you just wanted to use that word. Bet you check everything people say on snopes too.
crazy808ish _"Statistically that may be true."_
Statistically, and in every other sense.
_"one does indeed get the impression that the majority were true."_
Well the _majority_ was true, but a very large part, wasn't ...and even some of the true things, were misleading ...and about 3-6 of them, were far from weird. Rather trivial, quite frankly. (e.g. Japanese people drink a lot of coffee? So what? Most people do)
_"As for debunking? I think you just wanted to use that word."_
WTF? How would that even make any sense? I used the word, because it is exactly the thing they are doing, that I wished to voice my approval of. I used the word, because it is the term that refers to the concept I spoke of.
You seem to have a chip on your shoulder, about something.
Are you angered at cherished beliefs of yours, that you've had debunked or something? (being robbed of ones misconceptions, is something to be *grateful* for ...which is why I make a point out of always thanking people, who make me realise any of my mistakes or misconceptions)
ZarlanTheGreen Lol, you're kidding. The one who seems to be angered and have a chip on their shoulder is you, making 28 lines out of 3 sentences. That wasn't worth it.
Funny to see this mentioned, "hikikomori". Although it is painted as a Japanese phenomenon, I think this happens all over the world. I did a paper on it and took a look at the role of the (absent) father in the Japanese family in connection to the hikikomori. It was very interesting.
I wish people would stop spreading weird facts about Japan, and point to Japan as being weird... :<
Everytime when I say 'I want to travel to Japan' people are laughing or say 'eww it's so gross over there'. Yeah righ...
Anneth This whole "Japan is weird and nasty" agenda the west has is really ugly and getting old.
Why would people say it's gross? if anything it's very sanitary
I’d love to visit Japan someday, even though people consider it ’weird’. That ’weirdness’ is one of the reasons why I want to visit Japan.
I love everything bit different :)

"So your toilet shower and sink might all be in the same room"
...and whats weird about that?
Marley Dees it’s weird in Japan because traditionally those three things are in separate rooms. They put them together in one room only if the house is really small. And that’s because as Rachel and Jun said, you’re supposed to shower outside of the bathtub, and then soak. The water in the bathtub is supposed to be used by all of the family members, that’s why it has to be clean and used only for soaking. If you’re showering outside of your tub, it means that you can’t have anything on your sink or it will get wet 😅😂 that’s why it’s better if you have the tub in a separate room.
I live in a 2 story house, and I can agree with you, this is normal in my country lol.
nothing weird :) but your shower is still a seperated cabin, isn't it?
There is a difference the word here is "wetroom" the drain in the floor denotes this as in don't store dry towels or tp on the back of the toilet as while you shower it could get wet.
@@arikalamari19 In Germany it is a Cabin yes. So its kinda the same just smaller?
Rachel is alway cute, but in this video she is especially beautiful. That lipstick really enhances her natural charm and colors.

I love her hair colour and eye makeup style. Anyone know if she has a video of her applying it?
Hey Rachel and Jun! When you're at home talking to each other, do you mostly speak in Japanese? English? 50/50? 70/30?
wouldn't it be cheaper to build a ramp than a 5 step elevator though??

This is the most genuine channel about Japan. They talk from their experiences and after doing enough research I assume since nothing in the conversation seem to exaggerate on any particular topic. I feel I learn more about Japan from their channel than any other blog site. Plus, Rachel is so entertaining that it's the first time I have binge watched a UA-cam channel. Also watching Jun's reactions is fun. 😂

I was taught by my Chinese teacher that slurping was a compliment to the chef, so maybe people mix it up with Japan where people slurp a lot too.
Niesrin Bakkali What region(s) of China? My Chinese grandparents owned a restaurant for many years and I’ve never heard this.
Your teacher is making up stories, very bad a Chinese is making up stories about other Chinese.
Not really ,slurping are considered a very bad table manner ,try slurping on chinese dining table 😂😂very not recommended.
I‘m Chinese, and this is not true 😂 It’s actually as jun said: The soup is just hot, and you should eat the soup when it’s hot.
imagine going to japan thinking your in for a trip to a japanese disneyland of some aort but when you get there its was a LOVE HOTEL LMAO
Wait a minute this sounds familiar...
I recently did a presentation for a course at my college on coffee and Japan DOES import about 85% of our Jamaican coffee! Yyeeaahh! Love you guys and love this video!! 😁😁
"You cant just go go Japan with like super messed up teeth and people be like:KAWAII!!!!!!!"
It's interesting because in my culture slurping is disrespectful, it's consider poor table manners.
Lety G in romania too
I live in a Japanese family and they still call it rude so....
Isnt it because its akin to a child slurping?
Um.. It's more like it kinda happens🤷🏻 I'm Japanese btw. I grew up with "it will taste better"
try for yourself once,it makes noodle taste better you know~
Rachel was lovely in this video.
The overall attitude of hers was nice. Specially the Jun-Sensei joke cracked me up xD
Oh, that beautiful red hair. I just love how the sun makes it glow!!
$10 for a melon, and that's cheap?! I feel bad for you.
The fruits in Japan are quite expensive but their quality is not to be underestimated, you will never find a bland tasting melon nor any other fruit in Japan, they're all freaking good, high standard comes with high price I guess but it's worth it
Thats pretty cool though...
Correction: 10-20 dollars
In Brazil a melon is around 6 to 12 reais (2 to 3 dollars)
Yeah, I just go out behind the shit heap and pick a watermelon in the summer. I pay like $0.30 for the seeds and just throw them in the dirt....
At both my schools, the students clean after school, but we still have janitors as well. Like what Rachel was saying about the bigger messes, janitors will do that. They also trim the plants/trees/whatever, and clean the outside areas and do the more time consuming stuff like vaccuuming or sweeping the common things etc.
All these articles that are like "OMG you won't BELIEVE what CRAZY things JAPAN does!" are so bizarre. I find they tend to fall into three categories: Something many countries do, something normal that is made to sound weird, or 100% false.
And I tooootally feel you on the love hotels. The number of times I've seen incredible buildings and been disappointed is embarrassing. :p
ALSO: As a disabled person, five step escalators are genius and I love them.
I like seeing Jun's response, to some of the misconceptions looking like"WTF are people getting these kinds of ideas about our country?" Lol. Like "Most Japanese men" and being like, wth, ha.

In Denmark we clean the class rooms ourselves too. Like the blackboard, tables, put things back to where they belong, put the chairs on the tables and so on. But not the floor, we had the cleaning ladies to do that. We only had to do all this when we were young like 7-12 years to teach us the meaning of responsibility :)

I'm agoraphobic, I'm 24 and I spent 4 years housebound, it was the hardest 4 years of my life. Even tho I had video games and music and books, the lack of social communication means it was very lonely.
I'm trying hard to over come this, I still have days/weeks when I cannot go out but my dream is to live in Japan, so I'm trying hard to overcome this. I didn't know it was an "acceptable thing" in Japan.
I don't mean to be rude, but what's agoraphobia? 🤔.
Edit: nevermind I didn't watch the whole video. I hope you get better and get to Japan 👍😊
It's not an acceptable thing, they just have a name for it. Putting things in quote marks doesn't make much sense, just say something else if that's not what you mean
Sorry dude, but it's not 'acceptable'. I mean some might don't care and usually your family or people who have relation with you will y'know worried, ashamed, angry or in a rare case, happy.
Uuugh! Aragophobia is the worst! I have epilepsy and can't drive, but I Had it SEVERELY at ages 14-18...got a bit better, but not by much between 19-23, even though I got married to an Air Force guy and had to move to Mississippi, It took all I had to even go next door alone. Moved to OKC and had kids. The kids made it easier when we had to go places ( just them and I), but that was extremely rare. I went on a plane (Phoenix to and from Oklahoma City ) alone twice and survived, but it was draining and had to keep myself occupied. I got on anti-anxiety/panic Meds and began therapy for tons of stuff, including my Aragophobia, but with a lot of work and Meds, when I was 24, I was able to go places on my own. I had to force myself to be light-hearted and happy to fight the constant impending panic. I'm 36 now and still struggle with it, but it's mainly because of health issues. I still get days where the thought of having leave the house fills me with dread. I know EVERYTHING you described. Are you in therapy or on Meds?
Sorry dude, it’s not acceptable in Japan either
In general, kids in America don't get the kind of academic pressure that kids in Japan or other Asian countries get. Instead of trying harder to get better at a subject, an American kid may just give up and choose another subject/hobby they like better. Or decide to focus on sports instead of academics. And many American parents are ok with that, and don't pressure their kids to study or get along with the teacher. Too many American parents also try to argue with the teacher in favor of their children. Asian parents usually give the teacher free reign to teach how he/she sees fit.
Depends where you live. If you're a student in NYC, then its a hugeeeeeeee competition.
norio kun , SF Bay Area is pretty competitive.
In my experience, Asian teaching results in good test results, but poor creativity. If you want scientific and technical creativity, cram school is not the way to go. The cram school approach produces kids who know everything, but who have no clue what to do with that knowledge.

One of my English teachers actually taught English in a Japanese school, so when I did a pamphlet on Japan for a project she just came over and started talking to me about it, it was great. She is also fluent in Japanese, Romania and German (she taught in all of these places)
Slurping is considered good in South Korea, maybe they've mixed up Sk and Jp.
I don't think this is true.
no it's actually a thing in japan
I think it's mostly an Asian and South East Asian thing. It's not really a compliment but more like slurping kind of cools down whatever you're eating - which of course is referring to soup. That's the way that I was taught.
.... Did you even watch the video? They just said it's not a actually thing in Japan.
Allison Tran nope if you say South East Asian things, i feel unconfortable if someone slurping their soup or noodle, and its not proper things when you eat on restaurant or family restorant, even we must not clink plate with spoon, they say its annoying sound. Its in Indonesia culture or javanese culture actually
The UK's Literacy rate is also 99% also. With 99.99% of Children under the age of 10, (approx).
I was quite shocked to see America's literacy rate, 14% cannot read..
Ryan Gaunt Up-shut for am read!!! D:
14% America's population also happens to be black or mixed race...
12% of the UK has non white ethnicity. .. Yet we still have 99% Literacy, same as Japan.
Race has nothing to do with it, it's the educational systems of each country, it seems that the USA is lacking.
I would say it's probably our immigrant population, however I'd hesitate to say it's our "illegal" immigrant population. I'm fairly certain there are plenty of legal immigrants from countries with poor public education. I'm curious if this 14% literacy means literate in the common language of a country or literate in any language? We do have a lot of people who don't who aren't literate in English, so if it means in the dominant language than our immigrants, legal or not, could be what brings us down. However, it may not mean they aren't literate in another language.
I also wouldn't think in terms of race because it's about education, not "average IQ." Someone with a low IQ can still be taught to read, regardless of their race.
Anyways, I'm simply speculating since I myself know little on the topic (I did a little research while typing this, but I didn't dig too deep). If someone happens to know if literacy in a country includes foreign languages, I would be interested. I realize the very definition of the word includes any language, but I'm wondering if this apparent survey that yielded our 14% included foreign languages or not.

I couldn't agree more!
I actually did not know that Ganguro was a fad and is absolutely no longer a trend any longer. The way Western types portray it as being a normal part of Japanese culture is staggering. It doesn't help that there are quite a few anime with Ganguro characters.
I like the weird Japan! To me most strange things on internet about Japan only make Japan more attractive. They are wired but exceptional, especially some anime plots. How wonderful if there were some weird but good places in this standard world.

A love hotel is something many Americans need when they have roommates in their apartments, talking from friend's experience studying in the U.S. Bringing your gf or bf home to stay overnight often is not acceptable when you're sharing the apartment with someone else. Idk why many think it's ok to bother other people in the same apartment.
Yes yes yes yes yes. It is so awkward. I was visiting my friend in college and the people in the dorm next to us started doing it and it was awkward. Also for people who still live at home or with relatives. Like that has to be awk.

You don't have to think about it very long before you realize love hotels are actually practical when a couple really wants some privacy for specific reasons. So I'm not at all surprised to see how popular they are in Japan, I mean, it makes sense.
About slurping
I'm Japanese. Yeah, sometimes slurping is good thing because about certain kind of noodles food, like ramen or Soba, by slurping we can also smell the tasty soup and it helps us enjoy the dish more.

There's this idea that in Japan you HAVE to act a certain way or else someone will get mad at you or you will disrespect some one. It's not like that. They're people too. They're not robots. If you mess up and do something wrong no one is going to attack you with their samurai sword haha. Also people in America cherry pick weird things that are "in Japan" and act like that is the norm, but that stuff is everywhere not just Japan
Anytime I hear someone say something is weird I think that person just hatched. They THINK they are saying, "Yay, I'm superior because I do normal things. You guys, there's something wrong with you." But it just makes them sound dumb and small-minded.

"We" as in northern Vietnamese, right? My mom just said she didn't see that happening in south Vietnam.
Sir-Herp That might be the case. My mom and grandma said it's more common in northern Vietnam
Sadaharu #28 I can attest to this fact. Only recently, after French colonialism in the 1940s-50s did we stop dying our teeth black.

Everyone: *Pikachu meme but it's Logan Paul's face*
I can't believe Japanese have to take exams just to enter high school. Here in Australia, you just enrol and that's it lol

we do that in romania too
it's quite common around the world. and most of them are private school or prestigious ones. not only japan
I'm from Australia as well and while I didn't do an exam to get in we did an exam before we started to see what class we were placed into eg. more clever children were placed together and the least clever were also placed together
Ah! So I'm not a "failure" I'm a "Hikikomori". Interesting...

No hate, I'll miss them too, but why are we complaining about it here? Rachel and Jun have literally nothing to do with Grace and Ryosuke leaving.
there's a thumbnail of Grace and Ryosuke in a Rachel and Jun video on the side bar
Gordon Ramsay: do you like my food?
Me: *slurps loudly in front of him*
Golden Ramsay: wtf are you doing you psychopath
I tried to slurp my noodles one time and I almost choked.
I come across you guys are rare couple in YT. Both of your distinct personas really put up to another level. Jun is reserved yet witty at once. Whereas, Rachel is easy-going and talkative
