Married a Japanese women and also Live in Japan. The international marriage thing is tougher than people think. Funny I totally understand about miscommunication. Everyday we have little spats due to misunderstanding what the other said. I would like be able to have a flowing conversation with my own wife someday. That's the dream. :) Good video.
Although diet and grooming products may affect scent, it is likely that you are emitting pheromones that give you a characteristic scent. It is possible that he does not emit pheromones the way you do, or you are unable to smell them; hence his seeming lack of scent. That you have your own scent may be a BONUS in his opinion.
Old Romani trick is to bury the hands in the armpits before a job interview. Lots of handshaking. Interviewer will unconsciously think of person even after gone. Works. :)
Oh my itchy fingers... the 'all statistics are irrelavent' comment. How can you say that? If someone said to you that a type of car you want to buy is nine times out of ten prone to breakdowns, would you buy? Or simply say, 'Everyone's experience is different.'
Admittedly, the heart follows a crooked path but then again.. if you are thinking of having kids, unless you are pretty damn sure about your love do you want to take such a gamble (stats again) with their future.
@Sarusource Um...9 out 10 blah, blah IS a statistic. If you bought 100 cars and 90 of them broke down, then your experience would be worth something. YOUR SINGLE EXPERIENCE is not. Why? Your body is and intellect and personality is not the same as everyone else's and so the way you are treated cannot be the expectation. See? But thanks for the support.
@Gimmeaflakeman You wouldn't be wary (or at least asking questions) if you were aware that 100 folk had bought that particular brand and only ten had walked away happy, you wouldn't be asking a few questions, looking for guarentees, possibly even thinking about other alternatives? As humans, we are all able to learn from other's experiences. Some are just aware that you can learn with numbers (describing human behaviour - that's all) too.
Again, I don't think you understand that statistical relevance is far more important than anecdotal evidence. MANY humans and many separate experiences can create a statistically reliable data base and I would listen to it. So, yes, if 100 folk bought some brand and only 10 walked away happy I would be wary. I never said different. But if only one person bought one product... well I wouldn't write off the product right away.
I agree anecdotal evidence can be unreliable. And you seem to be saying that statistical evidence is valid in your posts. I guess I misunderstood or maybe you were a little unclear in your vid?
I don't dismiss Japanese / non-Japanese relationships out of hand, as although I know of a fair few that have crashed or which are struggling, I do know of at least a few successful ones. By this I mean marriages and couples with kids.
:(( I dont want to live in Europe cuz it sux, but living in the USA it's a bit too much, and Japan...meh I'm not like that...Is there a place for me? (?)_(?) Maybe on the moon.... >:D
@JapaneseAnya Well it depends where you go in America because we have all sorts of weather and towns^-^. The cities aren't my favorite, but the country sides north west are great, like Washington and Oregon. I live in San Diego and its pretty nice and the people and weather isn't too bad either.
@JapaneseAnya LA is not very pleasant at all! The air is sticky and smelly and the people are rude, plus the traffic is horrible. New York would probably be better if you can find a good section.
@MsAlucard1000 I've had to change countries once and I seriously don't want to relive that experience so I was thinking of actually knowing the language before I move somewhere and the Japanese are well known for being xenophobes sooo...yeah xD
I know many foreigners who speak little to know Japanese yet live here happily. Enough Japanese speak English that you don't really need it. Signs are in English. etc. You'll be fine. The xenophobia exists but it's mild and pretty non-intrusive.
@Gimmeaflakeman Rly? I read not many people understand foreign languages and almost all of them are xenophobes. But I can't trust every article so maybe you're right since you live there :/ Oh well I'll probably get a job that involves a lot of traveling so I won't have to pick a country ^^'
I guess Victor's right : screw the statistics, if the relationship works then cool . For me , to lack communication ( language ) in a marriage is something that'll stop you from getting closer and connecting .
@synapsis2112 Thanks!! it is called Late Birthday and it is by our band Project Van . if you search youtube there are some versions of it up and a remix version a friend did that i like!

@Gimmeaflakeman So now you stoped not giving a shit and you gave one huh? Because you aswered me after all.. Go suck a big fat dildo bitch cuz obviously, i was right.. Your husband HAS a 10cm dick.. TOPS... Also i'm 21cm if you're intrested... I'd tap you... xx
@ninimeru ROFL !!! why should 5 yr olds have al the fun?? LOL actually you know the really sad thing? I get stared at waaaaay less wearing this kinda stuff than if i go out in my country usa fashion of jeans, sneakers, and black leather coat and baseball cap. !!! hahaha
such a strange video. i dont think people need to brag about their japanese partners just cuz of their race. having a japanese bf/gf rly is no different than having a bf/gf of any other race
@Konatablob in my opinion, she is not bragging about having a japanese partner. Since it's not as common to have intterracial marriages so she's just expressing what it's like having a japanese husband.
@gundam22 Hang on, you live in America and you're saying interracial marriages are not common? The only stand out is that this is an asian male, usually (like 99.9%) its a white male with asian female - that is common as muck
@LeClassics .... your're getting off topic.. i DID NOT say interracial marriages are not common in AMERICA. I said interracial marriages are not common in JAPAN.
@LeClassics First of all your numbers are grossly exaggerated, I have known of plenty of relationships between white women and Asian men. Second the phenomenon you're pointing too is also partly due to the fact that women live in the home country of their husbands far more than men live in the home country of their wives. In Japan the vast majority of marriages involving a spouse who is not from Japan involve a Japanese man and a foreign spouse (usually another Asian, occasionally a westerner).
She is not bragging. I asked her to make this video for this channel as a guest sensei because I get asked quite often about this subject. But I do agree what having a bf/gf is always an individual experience. BUT sometimes we need to remind each other of that.
@Gimmeaflakeman i meant videos about people talking about their japanese partner or how to get a japanese bf or gf videos. it just seems a bit weird to me personally
@Ido013 i think i read that about 60-70% of families still do it the way we do.....but i dunno how scientific that study is. whichever, it is still different for each family. sometimes women are not good money managers and in that case the husband would do it....sometimes the duty is shared.
so, it:s also situational. It:s just that the concept of the woman handling it is commonplace, but not totally set in stone.
@MANNY100123 i have read that western man/ asian female relationships work out much better than western female/asian male relationships. But, what is true statistically may not be true for each individual. So, really it depends on your spouse's unique personality! Have you looked into the book *my darling is a foreigner? it:s very popular now and about that topic. also, i think mr. gimmeaflakeman may be able to answer that better than me! *gives floor to V* ..... :)
@musiclobber ooooh PLEASE tell me why you think it:s funny!!! I have been trying to figure out for sooo long what has happened to my accent! *excited* :) is it southern? coz my family says i lost my southern accent....? but they are REALLY southern so...haha. some have said i sound a little bit like my husband now....uhoh
@ProjectVanBand I really like the way you sing, though, I'm just loving the southern with an impression of Japanese-ish. I have family in Georgia, and your Rs are about the only thing you have a twang to.
@Laroling nope....he can run in 100F weather all day and not bathe for 2 days and he:s still fine. SIGH i dont know what percentage of the race is like that, but i do know that my husband, our male bassist, their moms dads and brothers/sisters......none of them use deodorant. i am the ONLY one who has EVER bought any! UGH
Really enjoyable video. Nice to hear the woman's point of view for a change instead of some guy forever going on about how to date hot Japanese women.
Glad you posted this Victor and I am now going to sub to ProjectVanBand.
Regarding how many hours he's at job I think it's quite common throughout the world considering the amount of responsability and tasks he needs to accomplish. Is he like some kind of CEO?
The expression "Male Corporate Employee" does not exist as part of our daily English lexicon. Anyway, salaryman is now part of the English language. Look it up. Merriam Webster says:
Definition of SALARYMAN
: a Japanese white-collar businessman
I think azpeez is trying to say they are not businessmen in the way most westerners think of businessmen. Meaning they are more like corporate drones. But that really depends on the company.
Love her, and I agree with pretty much everything she said. Even though my husband isn't a salaryman... but the language thing is definitely a cause for most of our fights too!
Yeah. Good work, ProjectVan! I have to agree, Salarymen work way too much. Ryuhei never comes home until 9pm or so either. Sometimes it works out because I usually finish teaching around 9pm and we can go home together, but other days I get home first and I'm just waiting around for him to call me, so I can start making dinner. Then when he gets home, he eats and goes to sleep without a word. Even though you're living together you still feel really lonely in a way...
@Ciaela thanks!! and oh boy....the waiting till he calls to start dinner thing......soooo true.....im always skeptical of whether i should start dinner or not coz i might get the call saying i shouldnt even make dinner at all coz he will be so late.....or had to eat with customers or something....
and sometimes i have to have to futons out before he gets home so he can make a beeline straight to the bed....hahaha
yeah in japan its very common to work overtime. I actually read a report where a company started to turn of the electricity to "force" the employees to go home.
Pretty interesting... I thought I'd be nodding off... but I was awake the whole time... (damn.. I hope that doesn't come off sounding rude... I meant it in a nice way.... honest )
I don't really plan on dying. If medical science can't advance far enough to expand my lifeline I have a back up plan. I'll have my body preserved after death and by the time they're able to reanimate me immortality may be a thing of reality. Here's hoping.
Nice vid, CERCL. :-] Must be tiring having long hours as a salaryman, at least he has a little time for video games, and plays music with his cool wifey lol! I liked the "we're all human" bit, very true. I think it's such an important thing to understand.
@itobun To be honest, when i live in japan i usually dont use deodorant either, so some of it IS food related DEFINITELY, but i cant say that it all is, coz we also lived in the USA for several years and he still never bought any deodorant....and i needed to .HA! ugh.......
@ProjectVanBand Oh flattered you mean it is one of our racial peculialities. Possibly it is a gift from God to live each other in such a narrow and small country lol
WOW Deaths and being married to a Japanese dude....and Christmas and New Years! What an upbeat guy. What a positive and happy Channel.
I hear if you marry a Japanese you have a 23 percent chance of homocide but there's only a 8 percent chancce of that.
Anyway, I see no problem with putting the Ken Takananana plug at the end of Iwate Swan. There would be something .... tactless behind it that would make it really odd.
Anyway, before you marry a Jap, I hear you have to have them deloused.
@ProjectVanBand That can be your side project. Super VAN!!! Kinda makes me think of Scooby Do's Mystery Machine van and this one comedy skit where people were doing impressions of Scoob and Shaggy talking and doing bong hits... LOL!!!
@edtomorrow dangit!!! now i wish i were in the USA coz i think i would try to get an old smokin van and paint it with *SUPER VAN BAND* and tour the country playing on all the sidewalks!!! gosh that would probably be a hit.....HAHAHA scoobie DOOBIE doo!
wasnt the smoke coming out the windows? i tried to find a video of it but couldnt....

One of interesting traditions about J- corporation is that they can go to hostess clubs with male co- workers or clients, paid for by companies.
So called settaihi ( companys' entertaiment expense ).

Regarding how many hours he's at job I think it's quite common throughout the world considering the amount of responsability and tasks he needs to accomplish. Is he like some kind of CEO?

A Salaryman is not really a Japanese Businessman, Male Corporate Employee would be more accurate.

Nitpicker! :)
The expression "Male Corporate Employee" does not exist as part of our daily English lexicon. Anyway, salaryman is now part of the English language. Look it up. Merriam Webster says:
Definition of SALARYMAN
: a Japanese white-collar businessman
I think azpeez is trying to say they are not businessmen in the way most westerners think of businessmen. Meaning they are more like corporate drones. But that really depends on the company.

Yeah. Good work, ProjectVan! I have to agree, Salarymen work way too much. Ryuhei never comes home until 9pm or so either. Sometimes it works out because I usually finish teaching around 9pm and we can go home together, but other days I get home first and I'm just waiting around for him to call me, so I can start making dinner. Then when he gets home, he eats and goes to sleep without a word. Even though you're living together you still feel really lonely in a way...
Ciaela 1 year ago
@Ciaela thanks!! and oh boy....the waiting till he calls to start dinner thing......soooo true.....im always skeptical of whether i should start dinner or not coz i might get the call saying i shouldnt even make dinner at all coz he will be so late.....or had to eat with customers or something....
and sometimes i have to have to futons out before he gets home so he can make a beeline straight to the bed....hahaha

I don't really plan on dying. If medical science can't advance far enough to expand my lifeline I have a back up plan. I'll have my body preserved after death and by the time they're able to reanimate me immortality may be a thing of reality. Here's hoping.

WOW Deaths and being married to a Japanese dude....and Christmas and New Years! What an upbeat guy. What a positive and happy Channel.
I hear if you marry a Japanese you have a 23 percent chance of homocide but there's only a 8 percent chancce of that.
Anyway, I see no problem with putting the Ken Takananana plug at the end of Iwate Swan. There would be something .... tactless behind it that would make it really odd.
Anyway, before you marry a Jap, I hear you have to have them deloused.
