Day in the Life of a Japanese Karaoke Box Worker
Вставка

- A day in the Life of a Japanese Private Karaoke Box Worker in Tokyo Japan. This is Japan work life in Tokyo as single person living in a 1K apartment and working at large Japanese company with a very Japanese work culture. Japanese employees even wear a SHASHO(社章), a company badge that’s issued to employees when they are hired. In Japan, many salarymen wear it proudly as sign of prestigious especially when working at a large company. We see the employees morning routine, full day at work as well as what he does after work. Masa works at BIG ECHO, a leading Karaoke chain in Japan. In fact, Karaoke and Karaoke boxes are deeply embedded Japanese culture and entertainment, as students sing after school, adults sing during and after drinking parties, and even individual users come here to practice. It’s become a part of everyday Japanese life. And unlike some countries where Karaoke is commonly performed in a room filled with strangers, In Japan the Karaoke box aka room, allows for small groups of friends to enjoy each other’s singing in privacy.
With more than 439 facilities all throughout Japan, the company's 6300 dedicated workers ensure that their customers of all ages have a fun and entertaining experience each and every time. And Masa is an important piece as he’s the chief manager of 3 shops located in Shibuya, and this is one of them, located on center-gai street, the heart of Shibuya. The Karaoke is open 24 hours a day, so the staff work in shifts to ensure a smooth operation. Today, Masa works the day shift which starts at 1PM, but he also works the overnight shift as well as the early morning shifts depending on the day.

You need to talk about kamen rider eventually
Hey can we get a Day in the life of an anime and Manga Cafe? Or what get an idea of what it is?
Paolo, can you do a Day in the Life of a Japanese Visual Kei musician?
Japanese video blog Sanada
Thank you for this brillient video. Wouldxyou make a day in a life of an architect, a gardner?
It would be nice to have a _"Where Are They Now Series",_ to catch up on previous *_DitL interviewee's_* to see what they are up to now. ♥️
Ummm probably doing the same thing. Japanese are very loyal workers and must of them will spend their whole life working at the same place.
same workers said they been there 10+ years so no point doing the series unless this channel survive the next 20 years
IT and gaming industries may be worth pursuing.
Their footwork is light in Japan as well.
We all know what Moe and Sutan are up to
Great idea
I think it's absolutely fantastic at how humble this gentleman is. He is the manager of three seperate major locations yet he still has no problem cleaning the toilets and standing out in the cold with a sandwich board. I wish we had more management level employees like that in the United States.
When I was a front end leader at a grocery store I made sure I did all of the duties regularly so I could help out as needed. The department head couldn't figure out why the staff followed my directions and not her's (even with directions were the same), it was because I would help them, and they knew if I was calling for assistance I was already helping.
@@josephdigiorgio Japan doesn’t think of themselves as superior and it is work. If you just stand around and do nothing then it is insincere. Learn from example. That is why things are done correctly.
@@dalekarrick8588 i had a similar experience where there's an experienced staff at my work and i always referred to him about anything more than i asked my manager. he's a very hardworking person and stands out a lot despite not being hired in a high position
We would not see this in france
My impression was the same. When he went to the front door my jaws dropped.
"You must be smart"
"Yes, indeed"
HAHAHA Gotta love the confidence!!!
I love her! She's not shy 😊
I feel you gotta be quick witted and confident to be a manager. 😎😎
I think the context was more 'you must (have to be) be smart (for the job you do)' in which case the answer is just an agreement with the statement while also inferring she must be smart thereby, she may not have meant to sound overly confident as many japanese don't like to do this (of course a culture doesn't reflect every member but I think its a safe bet)
@@MsCanadianpie yeah she's not the typical Japanese lady it seems to me.
The ballss to say that was hilarious 😂
My wife and I walked past a big echo while visiting Japan and decided to check it out. We had the best worker serving us and ended up having a blast! Good times!
Were there enough non-japanese songs in their collection?
@@aGGeRReS definitely!
@@aGGeRReS It's sorted into all genres. J-pop, K-pop, and almost every western songs too. It was incredibly cheap compared my experience in the US so definitely recommend it
Dittoing the plenty of English songs. Granted, the one we went to a lot when I lived in Japan was right outside a joint Japanese / American military base, but we went there a LOT and never had any problem finding plenty of songs to sing, from the pre-K aged kids through the adults. I'm pretty sure the catalogue of songs is company wide since they were also all listed in a big printed book in each room.
That's another thing - because they're separate rooms we would bring along the kids. They could sing if they wanted to or some of the rooms even had a small play area for the kids.
I miss it so much...
@@Jonathan-lm7wy japan have so many old brand 😌 and it 100% japanese brand, not so many japan brand can out from japan ans go abroad
After a whole month, we finally get to see another day in the life video. Great job on creating this video Paolo!!!👍
Hope you enjoyed it!
@@PaolofromTOKYO Thanks for your hard work as always Paolo loved this day in the life!
it never feels like a whole month it feels like a 2 weeks at most but I didn't realize its been a month but still his day in the life videos are always worth the wait
@@PaolofromTOKYO
when is the Day in life of Yakuza member coming brother? We, your fans , will love it 😊
I was waiting for it toooo😅😂
As a vet tech from the US, I would love to see a Japanese veterinarian day in the life!
I agree. That would be so good.
Successful people don't become that way overnight. most people see at a glance-wealth, a great career, purpose-is the result of hard work and hustle over time. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life🙏🙏🙏
you are right .
Most people don't invest due to ignorance.
People are scared of Investment because of high rate of scammers on the market
But of a truth they are scammers but real brokers are out there too waiting for investors.
Talking of being successful!I i think that am blessed because if not I wouldn't have met someone who is as spectacular as Expert Mr Pierre
These series are great because it gives us an inside look to jobs in Japan that we didn't know existed :)
Great video Paolo. Masa is clearly a man of quiet dignity. A very admirable fellow. 👍🏻
Quite the corny man indeed.
@@southcoastinventors6583 What makes him corny to you?
@@Chow0012 Masa=🌽 Just like kasa sounds like house.
I started singing along when the one manager started singing "Desperado" lol :)
I totally wanted to hear the rest of that!
I'm a huge fan of a Day in the life, Japanese people are truly inspiring.
So what I gathered from this video was that Japanese Karaoke workers are essentially Part hotel style, part chef/ waiting staff, with singing and having fun as a center al part of their business, very unique!
What I like the most about these videos is the fact that you get to understand what the quality of the places that you visit is like and where the potential flaws could so if you go to similar businesses you know how to understand their service level.
This is the best series on UA-cam. Each day in the life is really entertaining. Thanks for the great content!
The work ethic of Japan is unmatched. So inspiring.
Japanese culture is unrivaled.
that guy work start early morning and finish at 8.00 pm... and he havent reach home yet...
Also makes for a high suicide rate.
Very little time to socialise too.
@@RedKubisGaming plus he had to cook his own lunch that he paid for lol. Which is ironic because the reason most companies want you to eat at the cafeteria is because it should be faster
I love these Day In The Life Videos!!!😃😃😃
I really enjoyed the final section of the video where the three managers are working and drinking together. Thanks Paolo for bringing us another great episode in the Life in Japan series!
What a great start in the morning. Thank you Paolo!
This guy seemed so chill and fun. Thanks for another awesome video, Paolo.
My favorite series! ❤
My favorite series is back! Thank you Paolo !
Never stop your Japanese day in the Life series. They are the best on UA-cam! Your channel and Takashi inspired me to visit Japan three times. Keep up the amazing content!
I love these videos so much!!
Great job with this! The ‘day in a life’ videos are amazing and I look forward to them so much!!
Love your videos! I always look forward to the Day in the Life series 💜
These videos are a warm hug. Thanks for the awesome content Paolo
Wow, this was probably my favourite Dy in the Life Yet. Maybe because the job doesn't look completely miserable, and Masa genuinely looks happy.
We need the Day in the life of Paolo From tokyo to see how he works on the videos and he captures so many angles so well
Hi Paolo. I really enjoy your “day in the life” videos. It gives insight into the real Japan beyond what a tourist sees. I was in Japan recently and went to karaoke for the first time. It was so much fun.
Congrats in getting to do this with the company and thank you once again Paolo from bringing us yet another Day in the Life video 😊Absolutely love these and always intriguing to get to see different days of people in Japan. Take care and all the best!
These videos are always so interesting! Thanks for showing us another glimpse of the day in the life of another person living in Japan! 😊
Karaoke is so common in Asian countries. I am Vietnamese and in Vietnam people LOVE to sign. My parents even have a full karaoke set in their home 😄
This was fun. I really enjoyed seeing all the things behind the scenes. Thanks Paolo!
Favorite series ever!! Keep up the fantastic work!!
I love this series so freaking much. Please don’t ever stop.
This was an interesting one paolo. Good job. Looking forward to the next one.
Love this series!!! Its always so interesting to see the daily lives of people in japan.
Maybe in the future we can see day in the life of a bookstore owner, or firefighter, policeman, bank teller (would be a good one! Maybe they can explain why banks are so beauracratic)
I love this series!
This is one of the few channel where I watch the video from begin to end 😄
Yess😂 even always the same questions and sequences.
Another great video I can't wait to go to Japan one day just to experience everything!!
Another fantastic video, thanks Paolo
I wish we had these in the UK, I would have a great time! Thanks, Paolo, for another video. Your channel continues to be one of my favourites and a new upload is always exciting!
feel like they'd get trashed sooner or later
Yeah, with our drinking/drug culture and anti social behaviour issues it just wouldn't work here, which is really sad. @@GameFuMaster
A day in the life and behind the counter are 2 of the best series on UA-cam today or ever! Thanks, Paolo!
Yaaay Paolo posted another day in a life ❤❤❤🤯
This is a informative and entertaining episode again! Thanks man! 😊❤
I never thought that karaoke was such a fun business. I might have to consider getting into it myself anyway thank you for all the day of life videos. You have definitely given me so much inspiration and I am truly grateful
Love your videos, thanks for making them
Another top tier video! I love watching these!!
Thanks for the video, I really like the editing style and the content. There's some sort of relaxing escapism in your day in the life videos 😊
These day in the life videos gotta be my favourite thing on UA-cam.
YES i was wanting for this one for so long let’s gooo !!
Love these videos, thank you paolo
I always look forward on this content!
12:45 this is the most culture we see in tokyo when many worker out to promote like this and what i proud of japan is they still like use manual or old things like this ,this is never have in any country they just like to put the poster
Awesome video for Day in the Life, Paolo.
Another great video as always 🔥
Ahhhh, perfect! I hope you always do the day in the life!!! Is hands down the best series on UA-cam!
Japanese karaoke is such a unique setup. That would be a cool place to work! Masa looks happy there 😊
Masa still has an N64. Respect.
hearing that intro is so comforting!
and the BGM that plays when they wake up
Love these. Thanks
I went to one of these on my first night in Japan for the Rugby World Cup in 2019.. we picked up 4 drunk salary men to come with us and we had the time of our lives! Loved it
This was great, Paolo!!!!!
finally another day in the life video :D
Beautiful and wonderful. Thanks for this.
Excellent video. I love your Day in the Life series. It would be fun to try out a karaoke box one day.
Yes another day in life in Japan 😊
Great video! As usual!
I always get excited for another Day in the life. Juat adds to the list as to why I want to move to Japan
I love these types of videos
Always wondered how they do everything and it’s nice to see great video Paolo!
Thanks for watching!
Great video to see after work while having some ramen and some beer, Looking forward to the next one!
I love this series❤❤❤
I stayed at Miyashita Park when I visited Tokyo last year - I walked past this place multiple times and had no idea! Cool to see how it runs on the inside... surprised it's management that does so much cleaning. You'd never see that in the West.
Great episode Paolo 😊God bless you and your loved ones
Very polished and impressive.
One of my favorites videos. Thank you for this jewel
I really loved this one!
YES the Karaoke episode I love it so much ❤🎉
Oh, wow. I did NOT expect to ever hear someone casually say they read Kousaku Shima. I know that's such a small thing, but that was so neat to just hear randomly.
Great video, always interesting and informative 👍
Day in the life and behind the counter. Best series hands down!
🫶😊🌻Another informative and entertaining video. Kudos to you Sir Paulo! 👏👏👏
these series are dope!
Couldn't sing any more praises for this guy.
Interesting as always
I ❤ these day in the life videos.
I am too enchanted by the cinematography of your videos, it seems you really enjoy it!
Excellent overview. Very informative. Thank you 🎉
Another one for the books! Nicely done, Paolo.
Daily life content just hit different, always curious to wait for another.
I love your channel and keep going ❤👏👏
I wish I could travel to Japan right now but Paolo's videos are the next best thing!!
When Paolo posts, my life is completed.
I don't know how these video's are always bangers.
Great video Paolo! I’m a barber in the US and I love watching your channel and this series is one of my favorites. Would love to see you film a day in the life of a Japanese barber/ hairdresser! Cheers 👍🏼
Wow 50% discount is alot! I work for a large pharmacy chain here in Australia, and our staff discount is only 10%, and we only get discounts for some of the products we sell, not all. Another great video, I love Paolo's 'Day in the life' and 'behind the counter' videos.
i really liked this karaoke chain the most when I visited Japan!
This was a fun video. Different from the Karoke in China when I did one over a decade ago. It was all in Chinese and luckily for me, I had a person who knew the language.
Another great video
