is that why the girl in your interviews how long due you go to school & how long you study and sleep ? answeard 10 hrs school 10hrs study 6 hrs sleep. where did she get 2 extra hours?
This way of writing system is also seen Japanese TV guide.
They often write something like this," This Friday night 25:00 AAA station broadcast much-waited movie ZZZ." But in fact, the movie starts 01:00 Saturday.
But by this, people wait the movie Friday night, so there is less chance of missing the movie.
there is a 25 hours restaurant near where i live and it's not in Japan! lol I should do a video response. The restaurant got kind of famous for his "25hrs." sign.
Here is your answer. Time in Japan is confusing so they make it 25:00 hours for 01:00am. They don't want to confuse anyone to think it is 01:00pm. I asked this question to many Japanese people and that's the answer I got. I have yet to see this where I'm living but now that I saw it here I will need to look. Great videos by the way.
To the Japanese comments, We are not laughing at Japanese translation to English, but only to understand it better to communicate. Interest in Japanese is not to learn to alienate, but rather to be friend.
I am always confused by the fact that some (or most) people say like "12:38pm". In my feeling, the "hour" should be monotonically increasing... Why "1:38pm" is later than "12:38pm", although "12" is much larger than "1"???
@Francesco1982JP i say that too. i honestly don't know why and yo have a point. it's just..that's how i was taught and how almost everyone else around me was taught too (i'm from the Philippines btw). my only explanation would be that like..11:59pm is still today but one minute after is officially the next day so it changes to 'am'
Does this gaijin say Japan is weird because Japanese use time indication 0:00 in tv?
I think this gaijin is a bit ignorant.In the Japanese language we say 12o'clock "reiji" (零時） at noon,we say "gogo reiji" (12:00 p.m.) and at midnight we say "gozen reiji" (12:00 a.m.) So basically the signs on the tv is based on Japanese language. Have you learn a thing? Gaijin
I'm Japanese. Japanese are often working until midnight and, I think that is more convenient to see it this way. Especially from young Japanese often awake even past midnight.Sorry for bad English.
If you do computer programming, 25h % 24h = 1h. That's all. Modular arithmetic. It's more universal than saying 1am, the next day, because "next day" needs translation.
Japanese stores are often opened passed midnight; when we close the register at the end of the last shift, the use of 24+ hours allow us to roll over the previous date. It helps keeping the shift record tidy. This type of horology, originally derived from the field of astronomy, works well with Japanese perception of "day/date," which ends when you cease the day—not with the numerical cycle. This is an organic perception of timeline; I totally dig it. I hope the rest of the world uses it, too.
we just write the time in different way but we still use exactly same kind of clock as You. My english is really bad so you would find it difficult to understand, Im sorry. hope u get it :D
this is because we count a day until we sleep. even after-midnight, you would say I have work from 6 tomorrow morning, not like this morning. see you guys are living same day so simply written included in that same day. but sometimes it makes me confuse still Lol
Don't you feel you're still in a same day with the day before if you sit up after midnight? This is just a cultural difference. You're not the standard of this world. Get over it.
Time-of-day notations beyond 24:00 (such as 24:01 or 25:59) are neither commonly used nor covered by any relevant standards. However, they have been observed occasionally in some special contexts in Japan and Hong Kong where business hours extend beyond midnight, such as broadcast-television production and with time-validation stamps on some European public transport systems, such as those used in Copenhagen, which may show, for example, 27:45 instead of 03:45.
Since the whole AM / PM / 00:00 / 12:00 business appears to be so random, maybe 25:00 is used to avoid confusion and it just means 'one hour after midnight'.
At least that's the only explanation I can think of :)
i don't recall DST is on for the whole time (1 time a year where during season change you increase 1 hour, then decrease again in another season, right????)
(correct me if i'm wrong, i'm in a NON-DST country...)
Ughh! This has me so confused. It's like military time, only MORE confusing!! LOL Thanks for sharing. Your videos are short and very interesting. I am certainly not wasting my time by watching them, I am learning something new each time. Thank you.
Sounds to me that it's a whole culture that doesn't concern itself with clocks and timing. As long as everyone's on the same page, it's acceptable. If very confusing from an outside point of view.
If you can get any explanation for this, please post it when you can. I'd be interested to know why this happens.
24 hour clock 0100 -1100 is AM in the morning 0100 = 1am 0200 = 2am etc 1200-0000 is PM - during the day then into the evening 1200 = 12pm mid-day 1300 = 1pm etc all the way up to 2300 = 11pm then the next hour after that turns to 0000 = 12 am which is midnight then goes back to 0100 = 1am etc etc That's the 24hour clock anyway. This 25hour thing is so confusing.
why can't people follow the rest of the world?! either 24H or 12H ...but 25H?! that made me more confused maybe i should send my crazy boss to japan since he wanted us to do a similar thing....
hmm, I think I might get it. Maybe in terms of the industrious Japanese working day they continue to count up instead of resetting their day with Mother Nature?
Here's an example to make things clearer: after you pull an allnighter studying with your buds and you finally decide to disband for the night, which feels more natural to say "Good night, see you tomorrow" or "Good night, see you later today"?
Granted it doesn't make much sense, but it's just a theory to understanding the Jway
@myheartloveandsoul I agree. It seems that 2500 hours is just another way of showing 0100 without the late workers feeling like a new day has already started. If they went to sleep at 2500 and woke up 6 hours later it would be 0700 not 0600. So effectively, anybody using 25 hours in a day is daylight saving every day.
So then because their clocks technically start at the 0 hour mark coinciding with 12:00am, that would mean they have to add an extra hour to the end of 24 to make it 25 to compensate for starting at the 0 hour mark.
My question though is does hour 26 equal hour 0 then? Basically their clocks, digitally, go up to 25:59 then afterward, it rolls back to 0?
Well, I get the "0:00" I use a 24 hour clock (not 25 lol) at work, and 0:00 is midnight, or "zero-hundred hours" so anything till 1:00 am, like 12:56am would be seen as 00:56. Don't know about the 0:38 during the day though... lol
Military time is not just american military though, it's used like that to coincide with the rest of the world. Like saying Niner instead of Nine, cause the sound Nine can mean totally different things in other countries. So having a 25 hour clock is a bit confusing. Unless they replace 00:00 with 25:00, which would be midnight.
@echomiketwo hey English speakers do exactly same when they have weird Asian character tattoos or random Asian characters on their shirts, which makes no sense at all or have stupid statements. I bet those tattooists or fabric makers in the America didn't consult with the professional.
I think that the reason that they do the 25 hour thing is because since they are not using AM/PM for those, they want to make it clear that they mean 1AM rather than 1PM (for example, if it said 5:00-1:00 rather than 5:00-25:00, the customer might be unsure exactly when the store will be closing).
@savetherocks I really don't think that is a valid reason for having 25:00 time - just because people might be 'confused'. That's 24 time exists - no confusion as to AM and PM. It would have to say 13:00 for the shop to close at 1pm. There must be something more to this
lol, its true. I saw this at a pub last weekend that said they are open until 27:00 and several gaijin were standing around scratching their heads. I wonder why the do it that way?
Does Japan change the clocks for daylight savings time. I ask because my Japanese friends who came to England were really confused about changing clocks during winter.
@Bpro64 Japan used to have DST until 1951. DST is pointless in Japan. Compared to places like Northern Europe or Canada, latitude of Japan is not high enough for DST to really work. Also, because Japan's is relatively hot in summer (35C), and DST means longer hours of sunlight, which means longer hours of intensive air conditioning at the office, stores, etc.
Funny, took me a while to get used to dutch hours as when the scottish say half two we mean 2.30 but the dutch think we mean 1.30 and they do not use the AM and PM only the 24hr clock. Took me a while to adjust to the dutch ways of time thinking. Another thing I got to think about is for example if I were to say 1.35 PM in dutch it would come out as 5 minutes over half 2 (but in dutch language of course).
If they really did have that system... Wouldn't they have to make a construction similar to what we do every 4th year, but with... I guess time isn't the right word here really...
This is just too bizarre. Why do they think that way? O.O
I find this entire am/pm thing to be - quite frankly - idiotic. The day has 24 hours, starting at 0:00 and going to 23:59 hours. Does splitting the day in half somehow make this concept even easier than it already is? -___-
This expression is actually convenient for the people who don't sleep before midnight. For example, if you write a diary or a schedule, you don't have to separate your activities just because the date is turned.
I think that if the restaurants would say, open from 09:00 to 01:00 wouldn't it be a little confusing? I mean, how would one know if it is 01:00 PM or 01:00 AM? So, 25:00 is pretty convenient in my opinion...
@hellohal3 Well here in Greece there is a minority of classy restaurants open untill 01:00 AM, furthermore most of the fast food ones are open untill 02:00 AM minimum...
it's a pretty common thing to call 12 am 0:00. it does dat on my laptop too , andim from the us so i honestly don't get what's wrong with that. Besides 25 hour days can be possible on day light saving days ^^
haha nice vid.... toobad only like 20people actually understood what it meant and why you posted it lmao keep the vids commin i love watching how things work over there, such a beautiful place
@waltermh111 When I was in the UK I thought the 24 hour clock was very confusing while I think this version is much simpler if you are just glancing at it. I suppose it is all personal taste.
@Andjealous howq is 24 hours confusing? if its over 12 hours, subtract 12 from it.
2500 means nothing in any sense. how is it 1am? thats unintuitive knowng that the earth runs on a 24 hour cycle.
If you were confused how to subtract 12 from 13 to get 1pm, well, i will be blunt, you need help.
You cant just glance at 2500 hours and know its 1am unless somebody told you, its no simpler. and how is it easier to tell at a glance than 0100? You know its not a 12hour clock both ways
Why not just use the standard 24 hours times? Like 9:00-1:00 (open for 16 hours).

In Japan, we sometimes say 25:00 instead of 1:00am.
Thats because we think 25:00 is easier to know what time it is.
25:00 is an hour after 24:00, so we can easiliy know that it is actually 1:00am.
For people who still can not understand, dont worry.
In short, 25:00 means 1:00am.
26:00 means 2:00am.
we just write the time in different way but we still use exactly same kind of clock as You. My english is really bad so you would find it difficult to understand, Im sorry. hope u get it :D

I think your tv clock is set wrong... 12.00 (as in noon) = 1200 in 24 hour time... therefore 1300 is 1pm and so on.
I was always taught that 12pm is noon and 12am (or 0.00am) is midnight, so the sign is correct.
2500 is 1am, it is just easier that way as not not confuse people if they open in the am.... (ie 7am-1am).

If they went to sleep at 2500 and woke up 6 hours later it would be 0700 not 0600. So effectively, anybody using 25 hours in a day is daylight saving every day.

So then because their clocks technically start at the 0 hour mark coinciding with 12:00am, that would mean they have to add an extra hour to the end of 24 to make it 25 to compensate for starting at the 0 hour mark.
My question though is does hour 26 equal hour 0 then? Basically their clocks, digitally, go up to 25:59 then afterward, it rolls back to 0?

Well, I get the "0:00" I use a 24 hour clock (not 25 lol) at work, and 0:00 is midnight, or "zero-hundred hours" so anything till 1:00 am, like 12:56am would be seen as 00:56. Don't know about the 0:38 during the day though... lol

Military time is not just american military though, it's used like that to coincide with the rest of the world. Like saying Niner instead of Nine, cause the sound Nine can mean totally different things in other countries. So having a 25 hour clock is a bit confusing. Unless they replace 00:00 with 25:00, which would be midnight.

@echomiketwo hey English speakers do exactly same when they have weird Asian character tattoos or random Asian characters on their shirts, which makes no sense at all or have stupid statements. I bet those tattooists or fabric makers in the America didn't consult with the professional.

00:00 = 12:00am & if you are using a 24 hour clock there is no am/pm in use.
XxCyanexX 1 year ago
I think that the reason that they do the 25 hour thing is because since they are not using AM/PM for those, they want to make it clear that they mean 1AM rather than 1PM (for example, if it said 5:00-1:00 rather than 5:00-25:00, the customer might be unsure exactly when the store will be closing).
savetherocks 1 year ago 2
@savetherocks I really don't think that is a valid reason for having 25:00 time - just because people might be 'confused'. That's 24 time exists - no confusion as to AM and PM. It would have to say 13:00 for the shop to close at 1pm. There must be something more to this

Does Japan change the clocks for daylight savings time. I ask because my Japanese friends who came to England were really confused about changing clocks during winter.

@Bpro64 No they do not. Haven't done so since 1951.
mrivera1 1 year ago
@Bpro64 Japan used to have DST until 1951. DST is pointless in Japan. Compared to places like Northern Europe or Canada, latitude of Japan is not high enough for DST to really work. Also, because Japan's is relatively hot in summer (35C), and DST means longer hours of sunlight, which means longer hours of intensive air conditioning at the office, stores, etc.

Funny, took me a while to get used to dutch hours as when the scottish say half two we mean 2.30 but the dutch think we mean 1.30 and they do not use the AM and PM only the 24hr clock. Took me a while to adjust to the dutch ways of time thinking. Another thing I got to think about is for example if I were to say 1.35 PM in dutch it would come out as 5 minutes over half 2 (but in dutch language of course).

I find this entire am/pm thing to be - quite frankly - idiotic. The day has 24 hours, starting at 0:00 and going to 23:59 hours. Does splitting the day in half somehow make this concept even easier than it already is? -___-

This expression is actually convenient for the people who don't sleep before midnight. For example, if you write a diary or a schedule, you don't have to separate your activities just because the date is turned.

I think that if the restaurants would say, open from 09:00 to 01:00 wouldn't it be a little confusing? I mean, how would one know if it is 01:00 PM or 01:00 AM? So, 25:00 is pretty convenient in my opinion...

t3ndave 1 year ago
@reiren1 thats why japan should just adapt the universal 24 hour clock.
1am is 0100 and 1pm is 1300
Its simple, if its over 1200, subtract 1200 to get the time
so 1900 hours is 7pm, much less confusing then this non-existant 2500 or using 0038 as 12:38 pm
waltermh111 1 year ago
@waltermh111 When I was in the UK I thought the 24 hour clock was very confusing while I think this version is much simpler if you are just glancing at it. I suppose it is all personal taste.
Andjealous 1 year ago
@Andjealous howq is 24 hours confusing? if its over 12 hours, subtract 12 from it.
2500 means nothing in any sense. how is it 1am? thats unintuitive knowng that the earth runs on a 24 hour cycle.
If you were confused how to subtract 12 from 13 to get 1pm, well, i will be blunt, you need help.
You cant just glance at 2500 hours and know its 1am unless somebody told you, its no simpler. and how is it easier to tell at a glance than 0100? You know its not a 12hour clock both ways
waltermh111 1 year ago
@waltermh111 I wasn't used to seeing a 24 hour clock or needing to subtract anything. Why are you so angry about this?

@waltermh111 Totally agree with you, universal 24h clock is simple, without any misunderstandings, clear and worldwide used.
But on the other hand, things like 25 hours clock make Japan so interesting.
