Is Japan A Dying Country?

- Note: This is an updated version of a video published earlier.
The village of Nagoro, Japan, is filled with human-sized creepy dolls. There are no children left - the dolls are the only companions for the 27 elderly residents who remain.
Japan's population is decreasing, and this spells trouble for its economy. There are more deaths than births, while younger folks would rather stay single - or marry a hologram wife - than have kids. Meanwhile Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has declared a "womenomics" policy and revised immigration law, to bolster the workforce. But is it too little too late?

There's hardly any comments on how sad it is for an elderly woman to make dolls to make up for the lack of population in her village.
It is truly sad
Yeah, it is sad, but no one is saying that because it can be rude. They're doing it because they find joy in it. If they're happy then don't tell them it's sad.
R.I.P.
Adolf Hitler ➊ wtf

Everybody's a gangster until those dolls start moving by themselves..
All 27 residents go into 3 houses to protect themself from dolls
@@DarkwearGT that would be a really good horor movie tho Night Of Dolly Terror
TRUE LIKE REALLY,I said in my mind what if they move....
this is what I'm gonna comment!!!
That won’t happen
Can you imagine how freaked out you will be if you did not know about this town and you drove in around evening time and find nobody around but these dolls and the whole village is in complete silent
Like a ghost town
That would be a heavens for me lol I would go live there ... Being a companion to those lonely Japanese babushka simply by living with them and I'm pretty sure they would allow me .... Easy free food and shelter... Fck the industrial megalomaniac
I remember a moment in Indiaan Jones where city under nuclear blast only dolls there
Lol! What a twilight zone

It still amazes me the government hasn't made unpaid overtime illegal. People literally can't date and eventually have kids if they have no energy to do anything after work.
Exactly this is so sad.
@Natasel And there is the problem. Over there, they put your work over everything else, including your family. 🤔😢☠️
@Natasel Yes! That's it in a nut shell. No reform or adaptation, even in the face of extinction.
The government does care about overtime workers. But you may not know that Japanese people love making themselves busy. They care about other people’s feelings. They always feel like if they don’t try hard enough, they will make other people harder
They are weak men. Americans work two jobs and still raise children. Soldiers don't even have time for family, their wives do all the baby making.
For me its not creepy, but more like a bit depressing honestly..

Poor Akhito. Such a devastating trauma that he had to marry a cartoon. Bullying is so wrong and it damages the victims self esteem. Many endure life long mental and emotional damage because of bullying.
But no one cares. Humans just like to exploit weak beings.
But what he said that he was bullied by girls is a little surprising. I wonder what they did to him.
They used to grab his Jonson and give him wedgies I heard.

Has anyone stopped to think about how the intense Americanization of Japan has negatively affected its population ? Of course, White Christian Europeans and their descendants around the world have always arrogantly assumed that their culture is naturally superior to every other culture they have encountered. But what are the long term effects on an insular nation like Japan when its culture is swept away and replaced by Western style "progress" ? Can Japan's population decline be an unintended side effect of Americanization ?
White People in a Nutshell
*Meanwhile in my country:*
How to decrease birth rate.
How to decrease jobless rate.
It's totally different.....
Same in my country, greetings from the Philippines.
Well here in Bulgaria we have like 3000 villages and from them 1500 have like under 15 population and more than 700 are 100% abandoned.And by the way we are the world's fastest shrinking country.Every city's population is decreasing really fast.
Sad but true
Are you American? The US fertility rate is at 1.76. That’s below replacement. There’s hardly any advanced economy in the world above replacement. That’s a good thing. There’s too many people on the planet.
Damremont18 No. There’s too many BROWN people in world. There, fixed it for you.
Alan Andrade I don’t really care about race. While I do agree that each race as distinct attributes, I don’t care who predominates because I am a race fatalist. If there were to be a war between the races, the best race would predominate. Probably Asians. Wouldn’t like to see that, but it could happen. In any case I don’t regard human beings as precious. We are just something that happened to the earth like volcanoes, and ice ages, and dinosaurs. We might be here a very short time in the overall scheme of things. Who knows.
I live here in Okinawa Japan. And while I’m not entirely sure how far this goes. I know many Japanese women here and I hear from them that if it is your first child.. the government pays for everything. This has just intrigued me. I want to do some research now. Okinawa honestly considers themselves apart from many Japanese cultures. Even the dialect is different. Living here has opened my eyes to many different things.
I thought they spoke a different language, not a dialect?
@@dranflame_1236 The most widely spoken language in Japan is Japanese, which is separated into several dialects with Tokyo dialect considered standard Japanese. In addition to the Japanese language, Ryukyuan languages are spoken in Okinawa and parts of Kagoshima in the Ryukyu Islands.
I've loved Japanese culture all my life, I've cherished your traditions and discipline, the way you respect each other and how you strongly continue to preserve your history.
However, when I was 27-28, I've tried to learn Japanese. I had to quit after two months. I've worked as hard as I could, but I was too limited/stupid/non-efficient to succeed.
Learning Romanji would have been a piece of cake, but we know it's not Japanese and you can't live without being able to write and read.
For the record, I'm an English teacher (for non-natives), my mother language is Croat, I've been to a French speaking school and I have a Dutch language certification.
But in front of my favorite language, I'm powerless...
@@dranflame_1236 they speaks standard japanese, only a few elders can still speak Okinawa's dialect, younger people barely know some words and expression from their dialect, just like any other dialect there's not much difference with standard japanese as everyone tends to forget old dialects
@@user-ob1ug7kg9l I meant the language, not the dialect. I understand that most dialects will end up dying soon but what about the language?

Japan has some of the longest working hours in the world. This leaves people with very little time to do things like dating or hobbies.
But, that's not the only cause. Many Japanese start to think that having child is not very important this day, they tend to prioritize their career more and some of them literally married a virtual character.
There are many factors why they don't want to marry. But mostly cause they are worried that they could not support the family due to high living standard expense.
But our productivity is one of the lowest in the world for decades.
Well actually if you see the OECD data the average working hour is slightly above the OECD average.

We just don't know how to get a life. And for those who want to live in this country must follow that.

Sex dolls? Sounds good!

Sounds like it be a great anime movie.
Norway has a program encouraging living in rural regions. They provide an actual payment for living in small towns/villages. Also, rural regions usually have higher birth rates. May be that can help Japan.
There are areas in Japan that are doing the same thing. They rent out their houses at a discount. They also offer various other benefits to encourage people to migrate. However, there are no jobs in rural areas.
@@user-gx9xf2zb6o considering jobs - now COVID showed how many jobs can be just remote, and a lot of them became remote. So people can work for Tokyo company and live in a small city
They need cults. Cults are great at living in isolated rural areas and making babies.
@@PentG Spitting facts
@@PentG There are very few Arabs in Norway, and they certainly don't have 10 children.
Its the overwork. 23 hours of work and 1 hour or 30 minutes of sleep. 365 days a year. No social life. No relationships. Also why the suicide rate in Japan is so high.
this is china
1 hour or 30 minutes sleep is going too far!! That’s not actual figure. But definitely Japanese are over working.
And also this phenomenon are seen in many East Asian countries like China or Korea. They are too diligent.
Cause it, developed country's problem is very serious. Is not about their economy or something like that. Many of them are depressed and lonely. For the happines, maybe third world country is very happy. Just my opinion.
That's prejudice, I've never heard of a 23-hour workday.
The suicide rate in Japan is not that high. It is lower than in the United States. If you look it up, you will find it.
@@user-gx9xf2zb6o Nice joke, dude.
This hurts my heart that old lady needs to make dolls to make her less lonely.
Its a whole damn village full of elderly who must rely on each other for company and support. What happens when they start getting too weak? What will the last one left do?
That is surely depressing
this is a bandaid on a severe problem.
Rather than move, rather than travel frequently to other areas she makes dolls. It is the same thinking that leads the Japanese to think that in the future the elderly will be properly cared for by robots.
Dio finally feels feelings.
so you’re finally feeling things more than being with your bf
no but honestly i agree with you
This is just depressing. No person should be in a position where s/he needs to make dolls to fight loneliness. The youngest person living in that village is 55. 55!! and there are no children?!! what life is this?!
Extinction alert!
No life they will perish in few years
She doesn't NEED to make dolls though, she could just move. She chooses to make dolls, that's weird...
My cousin they lived there she's marriage to a Japanese men they have 10 children and when we Chat and talked I said oh that's too much she replied no it's not because there has a lack of children so when you have more children the government pays you and the education and their needs it's shoulder of government and I said oh wow that's nice I want to marry to a Japanese men joke 😂...
@@lovemusicnatureartsfoods... well for alot of people in the western world they tend to get like 2 children ( and sometimes 3 or 4 when they can afford it, raising a kid is expensive ) and some Christians have like 10 children because they are prohibited from using anti-conception. Others will not have children at all. So this sounds like an ideal situation
"womenomic" will help the labour force but will still be detrimental to the lowered birth rates
Women all want to marry up, is only marry up if the man makes significantly more than them.
@@StupidBadyXD Exactly there women despise the men there no wonder all the guys are marrying virtual girls.
It’s because traditionally when a woman marries she suddenly stays home and looks after children, while the man works long hours. If women can join the work force that means an increase in business expansion and economical growth overall implying creating a higher GDP. This is one efficient way of overcoming decrease in population
@@Perfectly_imperfect_psycho what will they do with all that money if there wont be people left to use them? Sending woman to work is gonna hurt them in long term and ultimately will have to depend on migrants.
I think that depends on support that the government is willing to provide. My 4 siblings and I were raised by single working mother, she is working hard so she is only at home at dinner, in fact she had no time to cook, so we divided household chores. When I was a baby, she would either asked our neighboot to babysit me or take me with her at wotk. And it worked. In Japan, mothers are discouraged to bring their babies at work, there is no nursing area at workplace. That is not the case where I came from, babies and kids are supported. We live in rural area, we dont pay rents, we dont pay for tuition fees in elementary and high school, I studied hard to obtain scholarship in university in urban area, my mom paid tuition of only 2 children in university. Our daily expenses are basically food, transportation, miscellaneous, research, books, etc. It worked. I think, work is not an excuse to not have a child, lack of support and child care facilities are the reason why women today dont want to have kids.
"Here at this village, you can't even hear children's laughter"

What is a point to overwork when your nation is dying? Stop using IQ, start using wisdom.Japan

high living cost...
IQ is hundreds of generations of your DNA fighting for you. If you can't even hit 200 IQ, leave the intelligent jobs for the family lines who can. Let a better bloodline save the world!

@@apdroidgeek1737 yes. But they lack ability to reproduce. The.old japanese.are blaming the childfree japanese selfish for having no kid.
How to fix birth rate problem: Fix overworking culture where students and workers are put under so much pressure to point when they run away from home/become depressed/commit suicide, not having any time to be in home when they work overhours.
Students and workers in Japan often sleep 5 and less hours per day, don't come back home till midnight and everyone expect them to do everything perfectly. There are many cases where workers aren't paid for overhours and are too afraid to ask for raise. Anime is so popular in Japan because it allows them to escape from this reality.
you cant. Japans People are so loyal and so hard working. They will work and never want to leave their job buildings at first. from 10 vacation days . japanese people took 4.
it isnt about politics but about the culture of working a´s hard as you can for your country. Japan would have also won the second world war if the United States didnt attack their civilians. In Japan Dying for your Country is the most honorable thing to do. and giving up the most unhonorable thing to do.
In Japan there is even a word called (romanji:kiroshi). It means death by overwork.
There is even a law that tells companies to shut down the light at offices at a specific time of day in order to force employees out of their offices.
and even if schools were much easier and youd get through every year with a grade D in every subject and only 1 main subject with a C ( like in german schools ) (not ABI) the children would still spend all their time trying to get a A+.
How to fix it really though?
Invest your entire GDP in Anti Aging Research and Development. That way japanese people cant die.
@@blackglama2312 I didn't say anything about politics. The main reason why Japanese people are so hardworking is the pressure from society, they have too many expectations placed on them. Why do you think there are so many memes about Asians not scoring perfect scores?
Yes, invest whole GDP Anti Aging Research that will get almost nothing done. That idea is beyond stupid.
@@Phantom-el6oe I Said they were loyal and extremly hard working.
You cant just tell them to work less. Because as i told you they even shut the lights in offices to force employees out.
You cant just change the mentality of a whole country.
I said the most bizarre solution just to showcase that you cant change their mentality of working in less than 50 years.
naive, people think that overworking is the problem, chinese have way more overworking and they have way more babies, is all about culture.
@@blackglama2312 military strategy and hard working civilians do not correlate, I can come up with a millions tactical reason why Japan would have lost ww2 regardless dont spread misinformation.
Its creepy but not CREEPY. But the residents have to say hi to the dolls so that, they can never be lonely. And Its very gloomy to live in a village or place where there are only 27 residents. Thats incredebly sad.
20-30 is the normal size of a small primitive tribe so they could make it work if they want to
they should just have cats / dogs
@@reneehassani Well they maybe have some cats or dogs but its just their beloved pets and a small earn of happiness...What those villagers need are some HUMAN companions to communicate with...Plus, and the worst part, pet's lifespan can live only 10 to 15 years compare to human's lifespan...It's melancholy but at least they have their small bonus point for happiness by adopting pets...
even my had more than 27 kids
when i say hi to the dolls, n they reply to me by moving hands or body or something else, . then i will jump back to my car n go as fast as i can..
Must be sad to the old people who can remember the times in their childhood when the place was much livelier
Wow this breaks my heart
Is not about being old, but is about being not good to be milked.
I am disabled, but still good to be milked, so I was not alone.
Now I got old, and barely take care of myself, so obviously nobody knocks at my door anymore even I live in a city of half a million.
Anyway, I am not alone yet. I still find common interests with some people.
But as I grow older I grow bored by many things also, and for sure my interests are boring to those around.
And this is how you get alone.
When the last person passed away, whos gonna mourn for him and bury him peacefully? There would be a ghost village inhabitat by dolls......so sad indeed.
Imagine if people died and no one noticed (or found them) then there would just be a couple of corpses rotting in some forgotten houses
Then the doll would bury him/her smh

I would move to Japan and become implemented into their society, but like others have said; the long working hours are the biggest reason that I'm hesitant to go. When you're working for 12+ hours a day, 6 days a week, how do you have time for dating or even a social life/spare time to do things you like? It seems unfair and almost brutal.
its only a pro to live there if you really love your work otherwise your point
If someone go home early from workplace that mean the company doesnt need him. So in japan work over hour is a proud thing for them somehow..
They also are super closed off to immigrants. Its hard to be integrated into japanese society unless you're going to be a translator or an english teacher because they dont really do much for acclimating to foreigners
My brother worked 16 hours everyday and he is full 100% Japanese but the Japanese shunned him because he's kikokusei means foreign grown/educated been away from Japan too long even he still hold onto his Japanese citizenship. He been working for foreign companies in Japan that's only how he got the job, not the Japanese companies.
there's a new reform that will let highly skilled persons become permanent residents/citizens in japan
when it goes down to 26, another doll is added
when it goes down to 1, 25 dolls are added
however, when it goes down to 0. No dolls are added....

Holy Namjoon give jimin some jams they actually have some pretty strict laws (more strict than America) about how long you can work, but for some reason that’s all these people talk about on UA-cam. Reality is that Tokyo is just too expensive (still less expensive than, say, Arizona, USA while having a higher average personal income).
What they NEED is to give incentives for companies to spread OUTSIDE of Tokyo.
Tokyo Diaries the laws are there, but japanese companies have the issue that the workers will still work overtime despite the laws. at a company i am familiar with, they have to decrease the logged hours of their workers before a certain frame before the current president will get charged for breaking this law. japanese people want to work overtime. traditionally you cannot leave before your boss, so it is ingrained into their culture. the problem is real and an ongoing problem.
Amanda G I dunno man. Literally zero percent of the people I know do that. There are known “black companies” that do that and people are actively not working for them anymore.

Encouraging women labor participation means fewer marriages and low birth rates. You cannot have both.
Japanese Anime: *interesting happy cheery*
Actual japan:
Anime is the exact opposite of Japan in many ways. I honestly think it's an escape for them. To them, anime would just be cartoon shows depicting idealistic versions of life. Versions of life that most of them lack. It's sad to think about.
From epic adventure anime to even ones with basic plots about high school fun and romance, anime portrays something that a lot of Japanese people simply can't have, which is probably why it succeeds in the country.

Good job.
I just checked where this village was on Google Maps and it's really no wonder they're dying, it's literally in the middle of the mountains. No businesses are going to start there so far away from the rest of civilization. Some villages are just not meant to last in today's society and this is definitely one of them.
in the age of the internet it is possible to have a business anywhere.
@@gregh7457 That's true if there were still people saavy enough to use it. It's just a bunch of old people that live there now.
So true. You can go to any country and find similar towns. There are a lot of cities and towns built around a business and once the business gets shut down and no business to replace it, the city gets abandoned.
Japan's planning is so awesome that they go even deep into the village on the mountain, where they could develop the land and the river still remains clean. Sadly after all that, people still wanna leave their village. Give me a home there and I'll shift there with my cats
This is true. The children are sent to locations with better infrastructure as the chance of surviving is greater than in the mountains.
Why ..ooo.. delilah..
parents with such difficulties send their offsprings away...
And the video isnt really depicting what is bad. Just what is left.

Almost all Japanese animation is produced with hardly any basis taken from observing real people, you know. It's produced by humans who can't stand looking at other humans. And that's why the industry is full of otaku!" Hayao Miyazaki
Nagoro village is the embodiment of all anime, it looked so similar to most anime, the schoo, the bus stops, the rural roadways to school, and the things you usually see in anime that don't happen in tokyo city. Looks so peaceful, if it has internet and a small job oppertunity sign me up.
It does
If it has internet then you can work remotely. Those poor old people have such unfilial children. Even if they have to work in the city if say there's no internet, they should at least come over every week or so, but this grandma is so lonely she's making dolls!
The way i see it, these Japanese dudes seriously need a wingman
I once, like many romanticize Japan, but after visiting I would say its not real. The Japan sold on media is mostly a very small percentage of reality. The place is beautiful and clean. You can hardly take an imperfect picture but there is a gloomy despair over the place. You will find more short tempered, stereotyping people there. Its an uncomfortable place for foreigners.
i went to tokyo once, and the first thing i've felt is just how "gray" the whole atmosphere is, especially at night. people are walking with exhausted faces and their heads down, they walk so straight without even looking left and right, there's hardly any laughter i can hear, etc. it's really gloomy there.
@Dark of the Knight Nah B, you're labeling gloomy as introvert
@Dark of the knight You are projecting yourself too much onto it.
@@RafaelROUNDUP Extroverts will call it gloomy but introverts will find it serene and peaceful, not everything has to be sunshine and rainbows.
@@Hetsu.. That's a very binary way of thinking and you should avoid that. The world is not divided by introverts vs extroverts. Everyone is introvert and extroverts in different situations. If you are 100% introvert then you do have an issue, you completely lack social skils. Now think of it at a civilization level like Japan, it's endemic, this is not a quirk, it's a real problem.
The man literally made his own waifu into something real. What a madlad.

Great respect to this Miku dude. I belive i ve got the same issues with girls in my school back then. Now i have been realised that it was less bullying and more flirting i guess, but the damage is already done and im stuck beyond any possible conversation with any kind of females that are not a part of my family.
“35 year old Akihito Kondo works as a school administrator. He is well educated and has his own apartment.”

JAPAN is there greatest travel destination in the world...but I wouldn't want to work & live there.
@Dark of the knight i work here and he is goddamn right. it is a hell
@Dark of the knight Are you in Japan? I doubt that, you probably grew on anime and think Japan is the superior "introvert" country. Working long hours and being exhausted is not fun, what is this truth you speak of? Enjoying being unpaid while working overtime? Grow up
@Dark of the knight you are blind, Mr. You are making fun of the lower class workers in Japan. Shame on you!
Japan is anime world!
i want to live there, though..
I love how Japan is still a culturally homogenous country. I think those foreign workers who want to work in Japan should be forced to learn Japanese instead of the Japanese having to learn English from them. That way, they get to keep their traditions and values as it is.
It won't be much of a use for people who just work and don't settle in Japan.
Or they can get over their dead culture and join reality or they can die out n others will still occupy their land.😁
Yeah build even more barriers so that expats are discouraged from settling there
I'd move there. It got this vibe that you feel from Shinkai's movie.
Men losing interest in women because of bullying happens a lot actually
@@raefinn8448 You are gay!
@@raefinn8448 Just... _wow,_ mate. I don't even have words for the levels of irony and lack of self-awareness going on here.
"If women did that we would die out as a species"? Give it time, darling, tell me what happens to birth rates when men have to choose between staying alone or meeting an attitude like yours after work for a few generations. The virginity rate of young males has tripled since 1990, from 9% to 27%, and it's not going to stop going up.
Japan isn't just a crisis, it's foreshadowing for every Western nation.
@@raefinn8448 so you can spout your opinions but when someone disagrees you act like a 5 year old lol ironic
@@raefinn8448 I understand what you are trying to say, and it's true. Men do commit more crimes then woman statistically, and do more foul acts, statistically. But, does that mean we should treat men in general as if they cannot be harmed by woman's actions or influences? Women are human beings too, just as capable as any man of great destruction. Just because statistics show men as more dangerous doesn't mean most men are that dangerous. Anyone can commit crimes and make illogical and harmful decisions. Anyone is capable of influencing another's perspective and decisions. No one is immune, and just because we see these crimes and we know what they are doesn't mean we can't make the same mistakes and decisions. When they say 'everyone makes mistakes', they don't mean simple mistakes like forgetting to put on your watch in the morning, they mean things like yelling at your children for small things making them insecure about themselves, or bullying someone. Unless you actually work towards things like say not being a bully then you are capable of it.
@@raefinn8448 My point was that women are just as capable of influencing men negatively as men are capable of influencing women negatively. Your first comment, you quote "If women did that we would die out as a species. Men are the real bullies in the world today. More women die at the hands of men then the other way around. Time to grow a pair buddy." on a comment that said that men losing interest to women through bullying happens a lot. Your comment implied that women don't bully men and that we are the actual bullies(I assume in those situations). That is false. Your comment generalized both men and women as a whole, so how am I supposed to believe that you are a man supporter. You have done nothing to show that you support men, and you don't show a good enough understanding of the world with your comments, so how am I supposed to believe that you are an old wise man?

More workaholic women & men in the workforce will just result in even lower birthrates. The country's root problem isn't declining GDP; it's that people are married to their jobs and don't start families... 🤦♂️
i thought the same... pushing women into the workforce will increase gdp in the short term, but in the long term, but country will experience even less marriages and even lower birth rates.
Same in Australia they re getting to Japan
The funny thing is singapore also dying XD
Low population, better quality of life, more prosperity
@glitchy box then invite all the Africans from Sahara and poor from India to fill the gap

"Has job, his own apartment and educated, all checkmarks of a perfect husband"

Also me : WHAT IF THE DOLLS STARTS MOVING?!?!
Very scary to think about it
They need to start paying people to have kids
Roger Samuel they do lmao
Japanese government pay US$20,000 for extra child meaning having more than two. One child is not enough so they encouraged second, third or more for $20,000 each however, it will not cover lifetime expenses.
risa tanaka oh ok I didn’t know, thanks for informing me. I suppose it’s not working lol. Well if they invest the 20,000 the right way, It could grow to a quarter million by the time the child grows up.
@@Theblackhippieh so easy to say that
the proper terminology for that is "prostitution"
Omg, this village is literally the set of horror movies
No it’s not.Don’t use “literally” if you don’t understand what it means.
Make me remember my village where i grow up, there only old generation left and its dying while the young migrated to big city.
The title is misleading. It's Nagoro, not Japan (not the whole country). Be more respectful
Everybody is ganster untill you find out everyone is marrying anime girls instead of 3d Japanese girls
Thats what happens to a country when it fully matures.
I wouldn't call that "maturity," I'd call it "emptiness." The greatest joy a man can accomplish in life is to have a wife and children.
I was talking from a technical perspective. While your point has no correlation to mine i can tell you thst in the greatest joy there is always emptiness. Having a wife and kids cannt fill your void. But simply you are indulging the illusion of societal achievement.
Only you yourself can make you feel whole and that starts from within not without.

Man it makes me angry that some people only have work to "look forward to". Everyone deserves a break from time to time.
I never wondered that too much anime and hentai could ruin a whole country.
Nah whole reason why their population is decreasing is because of the people are busy with work and have no time to go on dates
Hentai/Anime is a symptom - not the cause.
The guy literally says it himself that he's like that because he was traumatized by his experience with women.

I feel sad for this doll lady.
So Japan is the human panda 🐼....
I am a foreigner here in Japan, in a place that, may i say, so quiet; and I feel like this place is getting old. There are parks but no one spends time there. There are barber shops, but not much does actually care much about their hair. I see a lot of cars but not much people. I feel like this place is so sad, even neighbors dont know or greet each other that much. When I was young i dreamt of going here. Now that I see the other face of popular Japanese place, I am a little bit concerned. Is this place even living? Or just like machines, only working? But for what? For whom? At what end?
Meanwhile my country
Class is filled like market , overcrowded cities and too much unemployment
That's sad 😔

I don’t see why that’s weird on their (attendees) end though? I’d go if he was my friend/family. Happy celebrations are happy celebrations even if the reason is not really relatable I think.
Lol but that's better than LGBT 😂🤣
I mean what about his sexual needs
😅😅😅
This is worrying for me since I need Japanese people to make anime for me.
Don’t worry robots will continue to do anime for you
MrNeonBear if only animators were paid a decent wage...
Animators should make their own patreon so we can give them support. I'm still waiting for that to happen so i can give them 90% of my salary.
This is just a propaganda so the companies can bring in cheap workers from other countries.
There are more japanese dying than the 900,000 babies being born yearly cuz japan have too many old people ( 40 million ). Japanese old people reach the age of 80-100 years old so obviously they are dying by the millions now. Japan`s population now is 125 million and a lot of japanese welcomes the population to go down at 100 million.
Best comment here
Very good journalism. Keep up the good work.
Honestly this could be a great tourist attraction. If they had a hotel or bed and breakfast they should definitely do a PR blitz to get people to visit to see the dolls.
When the camera goes away they be like
*"Pheeeww thats so hard holding my breath phew this tourist really want to discover everythin **_kono bakayaro_** "*
Lol, Bakayarou!!
Is that an anime
Come on, this is not some cultural destiny. It's part and parcel of the post-war corporate structure. You can't change this until you change that cultural elephant in the room.
Isnt that a great thing? They look soooo profesional. As though they know what is best.
The way they dress.
The way they act.
The way they perform.
The results they bring.
It gives their customers. What do they call it. Ah.... Customer satisfaction and reassurances.
If there are no such image of corporation. Where do you think you can find ppl to.... cooperate. With a far more twisted alternative... where can you find hope.
that's just sad and depressing
Japan is beautiful, but man I'd never work in such conditions. They have inhumane working hours and overworking the young adults they have to the point they have no time for socializing and getting married or in relationships.

Stop working the men 16 hours a day and get rid of misandrist laws.
Misandrist laws? In Japan?! Hahahahaha it's pretty obvious you know nothing about Japan is nothing like the West.
heyitsablackguy didn’t u see the sentence at 6:48
@Duy Trần Quốc because you are in Vietnam. Japan could use you since every person works for two., hence 16 hours/day. Japan needs immigration if they can't replace their population in 20 years.
Well ye im ready to die at my working place im a broken man
Japan does not have the same marriage laws as USA.
I remember seeing this before I never commented about what I thought of this but. It is most definitely sad. For some reason I’m thinking when the humans there die the spirits will take control of the dolls. Wow wouldn’t that be freaky.
The nagoro village looks like a nice place to live..
