      False...most foreigners in Japan are from poor countries in Asia that work service jobs for low pay; Westerners aren't allowed to have blue collar work jobs unless they have a marriage visa, so, that's why the Westerners in Japan are mostly all English teachers/illegal tutors, with a small amount in IT or some other white collar job

    Surprisingly, no one talks about the demand in Animation/Film/Gaming companies in Japan. Yes, in some companies, you need to have basic to business conversational level of Japanese (or N2-N1 JPLT), but a few companies that will hire foreigners with little or no japanese because of international connections. I was lucky enough to recently get a job as a 3D Artist for a video production company in Japan. Luckily my boss and I can communicate in English (so speaking Japanese wasn't a problem) and even he was willing to help me out with translating the language from the other co-workers and staff-members who needs something from my part. I am truly grateful to have a boss like him!

      The competition is hectic for artist and voice actors in the film/animation/gaming industry. You just need to keep auditioning and try to stand out the most out everybody, pick a good studio that is open to anything, and never give up. You will eventually get what you want.

    I’m in IT and I would consider moving to Japan except for one big reason: overwork. I’ve heard it’s extremely common for Japanese to work 10-16 hours everyday. I already put in plenty of overtime and we have an on-call rotation, but there’s a reason why the word 過労死 (overwork death) exists. I put a high value on mental/emotional health and family time.
    Edit: I want to add an edit, since I was reminded to take things I hear with a grain of salt, and also keep in mind that everyone’s experiences are different. Perhaps some people overwork, but many others might not. Also, overwork happens all over the world. I am still incredibly excited to visit Japan in hopefully the not too distant future. Until then I will continue my studies of Japanese language and culture. 🇯🇵😄

    I hate that "English Teacher" doesn't require knowing any Japanese. It's no wonder that many Japanese struggle with English when it's not a sound-based language like Japanese is. There's so many words which are incorrect between the languages because many English Teachers, who don't know that Japanese is sound-based, will write a word in Japanese (via katakana) when trying to show the word. A good example of this would be 'foreigner'. If you try to spell it the same as English using Japanese characters on a character-translation site, it would come out as フォレイグンエル which is obviously incorrect, as the word 'foreigner' is actually pronounced フォ―リッナ―。PLEASE take this information to someone of importance in the school system (such as a principal or higher). Also, from a student's perspective, how are they supposed to learn the language if the English teacher cannot say in Japanese, "this word means X" or "that word means Y" ? How are you supposed to pass a class where your teacher only speaks alien? Are you going to magically start understanding them at some point?

      The Immersive Method of Teaching is often the go-to for a lot of language teachers because it helps students learn a language without relying on the crutch of their native language. This forces them to learn and get familiar with all aspects of the language they're learning - from classroom commands to explanations to understanding and using the language being taught. For Japanese students learning ESL or EFL, Katakana should absolutely be thrown out the window because of how much it butchers pronunciation of English. words. Even a student with zero ability in a language will eventually pick up on the verbal cues and signal words teachers use in classrooms through visual cues, repetition etc.

    I have two dreams, to become a doctor and live in Japan. I’m not sure how to make sure both dreams come true, since I’m still pretty young all I have done this far is study both human anatomy and Japanese sometimes in my spare time:)
    If I can do it I know you can also fulfill your dreams! Good luck!!

      Its the same for me, Im a secondary school student and I've been researching since more than a year about the job prospects related to my field i.e. Medicine. Apparently, according to various internet sources and some official guidelines, it seems possible.
      You need to have JLPT-N1 in Japanese proficiency, Im currently learning Japanese but to be honest im currently learning it as a hobby so I haven't been learning seriously, I learned alot from Anime and from Language learning apps (Duolingo) as well, I started in August, 2021 so I guess almost 2 years and I think Im confident that I'll be able to clear JLPT-N4 so you need to have quite a commitment about learning the language. You need to get a Japanese medical license through the Japanese medical licensing exam. But for giving the licensing exam you need to be eligible so there are certain prerequisites for attaining eligibility which you can discuss with Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. But getting eligibility is not a big deal since you may already have graduated from a foreign medical school and have a medical license of your respective country so in this case you may be eligible to take the exam but you have to discuss it with the Ministry. Although I have no knowledge or experience about the difficulty or anything related to the licensing exam but it seems that it is entirely in Japanese with MCQs and also some practical sessions/scenarios with mock patients to test your clinical skills. It is somewhat similar to other licensing exams of English countries but the only thing is that it is to be done entirely in Japanese. And then after obtaining a medical license, there comes residency which I guess I have no clue about it because every institution has a different and specific quota and criteria for offering residency program which I believe can only be experienced when you reach there and gain knowledge about it there because of current I dont seem to have any knowledge about it (Im not able to find anything on the internet as of now).
      Although somewhat possible and obviously complicated because its Japan and much MUCH harder than other countries' licensing exams (extremely hard difficulty Ig), I got kind of mixed feelings about the whole situation as of now, I've been flipping switches whether I want to take this path or not. My research still continues till this day but through my research, I found alot of impactful points and some pretty valid reasons which are enough to put an opposing pressure on a person like me.
      First of all, im not able to find any data about how much foreign doctors are practicing medicine in Japan as of now, it shows that there is no data or any survey regarding foreigner doctors in Japan maybe because there arent any high numbers that are worth putting into data. The fact that there isn't any data present means that the number of foreigner doctors is almost negligible. I've read on Reddit that even if you get a medical license and all the qualifications, it will be hard to get into residency program because you're already steps behind the native Japanese graduates, and it will also be hard to get hired by an employer because not having any connections and the stigma you'll get for being a foreigner may very well preclude you from getting hired, even if you have a medical license.
      In my opinion achieving a medical license and JLPT-N1 will be the most minor step to overcome but the main problem is getting hired. Tell me if you're not getting hired for doing all this, would you still accept the reality and still consider trying for it? Because the amount of time it requires for learning Japanese and the amount of time required for learning all the medical terminology is an outrageous amount as the medical terminology is an entirely another language which even the native Japanese who had years of schooling and learning Japanese till the highschool level won't be even aware of, so you can at least gauge how much of the "TIME" element is required for all this process.
      And then there comes the work culture problem, Im sure you're bound to find every kind of horror story related to the work culture topic about Japan. I'll go on about this work culture topic for a whole day and I won't run out of words explaining every thing about its whole work culture. Long story short, every info I found related to the work culture in Japan is against my personal wishes and interests because most of the common policies and rules I found about the companies and the employees experience there, it seems unhealthy for human beings. Every country has its own share of bad work culture, but Japan is famous for appearing in the eyes of public alot. I thought its only a media thing and thought the reality of the situation would be different but after hearing from the natives' experiences and a few of my friends living as students there, I can say that all the articles on the internet make sense and everything comes to light after that because IT IS DAMN TRUE.
      In my personal opinion even If I achieve all the necessary qualifications by investing a huge amount of time but then only come to know that I got no chance here and would be better of somewhere else, I would regret doing it altogether.
