[MasaruJo]

Uhm, that's what foreigners think about Japan. Of course, it is biased but who cares =))

This vedio was made by:

Kenichi Tanaka (Design, animation & script)

Yuki Ito, aka. Pori (Japanese narration & script editing)

Emily Millar (English narration & translation)

What racist?

@Miwamariah U mad, it was created in Japan by a Japanese (Kenichi Tanaka) "So I created this video from foreigner’s point of view, rather than Japanese people’s point of view. By the way, please don’t call me racist, because I am one of short, small eyes Japanese ;P"

[Miwamariah]

HORRiBLE propaganda!! Japan is a unique and isolated country and there are many myths in this video. Look at your own country first before you judge another.

OK, this is sooo Good work! I like this animation. BUT some images are just only someones images. For example, you can see problem of food waste in another country. In US, half of food goes to waste. See "Food_waste" in Wikipedia. I am feeling that someone want to make some images of strange Japan, isn't it?

Though this video does a good job of uncovering some areas of Japanese society that are not given enough attention on a regular basis, it fails to address the much larger and global problem of mass consumption capitalism and accumulation. Japan may be an island, but it is not isolated from the global economy and the problems mentioned in this video are problems in many other countries as well

It kinda has a Hitchhikers Guide feel to it.

i'm a military brat and i have lived in japan. i spent 4 years their and it is an amazing place. There is a lot of creepy shit their though. i saw an old guy masturbating on the train once. This whole video is true.

As already mentioned, the video was originally meant for the Japanese people and was later translated to English due to popular demand.

[SamGlover25]

Yes, this was slightly racist, but you all have to remember that it was originally created in Japan by a Japanese person for the Japanese people.

[ewilliaman11]

idiots.... this was made by a japanese person showing other japanese people why foreigners find them odd. it was originally done in japanese

[ellickhigson]

i wonder when the research was done for this seeing as korea now has the highest suicide rates. but besides that i found it interesting however it seems that this is aimed at japanese people (judging from the last line in it) dispit it being in english, so i think the creators have failed a little. unless this is a translation of a japanese video?

[djarga]

@ellickhigson

I think it is



[Minecraft4life1000]

I'm genna skin this bitch.

[imascandal]

i watched this whole thing and found it interesting but the narrator/writers seem to have a bad taste in their mouth for Japan?

[lordmagicpants]

might want to check gdp numbers: and give specificity relating to what.

all women have diets and fashion sense.

slightly racist too.
