Both of my daughters are still active in music, which is something I intentionally started when they were young, but they have wanted to continue for their own reasons (music and social reasons). They still play piano, but play more violin and cello in orchestras nowadays. Their Japanese language skills are ok considering we live in a non Japanese speaking area. We are in the US.

      Because men who don't work are not popular in Japan. If you say in Japan, 'I will be a househusband and do the housework and you will get a job', probably 99% of Japanese women will not want to marry that man. Many Japanese women take it for granted that men should work.
