This guy thinks everybody's head will be in the shape of Carrots in 100 years? That is such a load of rubbish it almost makes me think badly of Japan.
So 100 years prior to this very comment, did we have fat huge fucking heads? No, we didn't. As far as you go back in history there is NO difference in our head shape.. the only differences would be when we were literally Apes.
Damn... guess I would not be good for working in Japan. I do not smile much, at least not any big smiles. But I am not understanding the Smile School... maybe this is just for the older generations? There are plenty of videos with Japanese young adults and children who laugh and smile all the time. Plus anime has people smiling and full of emotion all the time too...
Everybody wear masks. Not just in Japan. You might not realize it but we all, without exception, build an image of ourselves that is not always in accordance with what we really are or really feel. The mask is a tool for social interaction, it has been so since the dawn of humankind.
this movie is so funny. My class laughed a lot. Love Japan, come to my country and we can make you laugh. :D , especially my classmates, they are really crazy. Hihi!
What confuses me is, if a smile means or can hide anger or a negative emotion, then how am I supposed to know when someone is happy or what it is they want?
I realize this cultural aspect may not necessarily apply to everyone, but still, people who suppress and hide emotions are difficult to get through to because I can't read minds, nor can any ordinary human.
@BadReligion1994 You are depending too much on obvious visuals as a means of reading someone. I depend on reading the gait, body language, subtle movements, whispers and most importantly, aura to tell me how a person is feeling. That's how I know if someone is angry or happy, or to be more precise, that's how I know if someone has plenty of negative emotions or lack negative emotions at the time.
It's kind of sad that these grown- and oftentimes intelligent- people on the video have to relearn how to do something that is so simple yet brings so much natural joy... =*(
I think it is ridiculous to say that asian people feels no emotion, when they produced some of the finest art, music, food (yes, that is a form of art too) available in the whole world. It is just a very different culture and way to relate to people.
What a poor, ugly, shitty looking Japs. They must have been mutated to the point they can't even smile properly. Can't believe they manufacture emotions now. Proves that they are just soulless subhumans.
@fuckjjokbariseki I entirely agree. Asians, especially Japs, don't have any emotions. Because we didn't purge those Japs completely off the Earth that we still need to put up with these mutated shits.
That fellow at 6:08 looks like he's grimacing in pain! poor guy. Yeah, smiling to improve business is one thing, smiling when you are sincerely happy is something else.
Japanese people are racist! If you're White and you're American and European, take advantage of the 'inferiority complex' you'll get from most Japanese. But when the ugly side of Japan finally shows its face, the bank loans you won't get, the rental apartments that are Japanese only, those are a small price to pay for the much harsher treatment most non Japanese Asians get in Japan, even if they pay taxes, and were born in the country and even love Japan like my friend.
Its so strange to me that here in America, its just natural to smile, but in Japan it's sort of a taboo. As an infant in America you're surrounded by smiling faces all looking at the ''cutesy baby''. If anything we communicate more with expression than words. Its such a surprizing culture jump to me.
@revolutiongrl They feel emotion just fine but are taught to hide it. It's the same as American men holding back their tears if they're sad because they don't want to appear unmanly.
@Unit731Jap Yeah, Japs are forced to smile, because it is a great weapon of deception to fool the foreigners, while deep inside, they despise them. Little do they realize that their smile is counterproductive. Their fucked up buck teeth is a big turn off to most of the foreigners. This explains why most Jap bitches their cover their mouth when they laugh, since they look like obnoxious donkeys with their grotesque looking teeth. Ugly ass defects only a mother would love.
@PhotonMotion777 Of course man. After those fucks ate the A-bomb, they have become nothing, but a former shell of themselves. After many years later, it's not a surprise that they have mutated into these shits. Check out the "Rape Club - Japan" video and see what I mean. They are only strong in groups and can't do anything alone. Japan is a pathetic country.
@xXVoltBreakerXx Sorry, my account got hacked by some fucker at my school. Anyway, agreed with you there. Japs can't even watch their own back and much less, protect their own women from rapists. I watched the video that you recommended me, and it certainly brought a new light about the dark side of Japan. They have a HUGE inferiority complex after WWII and they read comics like "Rapeman" which is just fucking pathetic. Japs are seriously fucked in the head, just like their ugly shitty faces.
I checked out the "Rape Club - Japan" video as well, and I agree that lot of Jap people seemed pretty pathetic. I thought such mentality in that video didn't exist these day, but boy I was proven wrong. Those trash obviously lost the "Samurai pride" their ancestors had during the warring periods. This video just further strengthened my suspicion that Jap's so called politeness is just a facade to hide their true colors. Pity that lot of foreigners fall for this without knowing their true nature.
@XYZrebelrevolver The Samurai pride was a book telling them how they should act, like classes telling kids to be abstinent. It wasn't how they really acted. Also, most Japanese are perfectly nice people who don't go around raping.
@XYZrebelrevolver Are you surprised? China is stealing swedish technology, american technology, you name it, they copy ANYTHING, business, you name it, wetsern open it hands to be friends and china steals.
@Imhornydadcomeinside I concur. All Asians are just mindless drones who copy from the western technology. They're never really innovative. They only tweak few things, but never really create anything new. Chinese and Japanese.... they're all the same in my book.
Try checking out the com. section of the video I mentioned below. What really surprised me is how those so called "polite" Japanese people are pushing all the blame about the "rape club" and their heinous past crimes to the other Asians. I don't know about you guys, but in my book, I know that just because they are nice to me, but racist towards other races doesn't make them any more polite than rest of the human population. IMHO, I think the "politeness" of Japanese is just a stereotype.
@XYZrebelrevolver holy shit. i fucking hate kikes like you who just go on other culture's websites and mock them. how dare you. if you have an opinion say it to yourself. you don't see us black people who actually respect japanese NOT JAPS go on jewish videos and say shit about your big ass noses, circumsized dick and greedy ass money-sucking spit fucks. no wonder kikes don't get any respect!
@Unit731Jap Now that you mentions it, it I've noticed how Japanese people tend to keep everything discreet amongst themselves by trying to hide it with their smile. I know that I've been fooled by their smiles, since I've been to Japan. Lived there for 3 yrs , and I never was able to make real friends, even though I was open and considerate. They seem to be intolerant of any kind of criticism aimed towards Japan. Cultural or not, they need to consider fixing this kind of attitude.
@fuckimperialists Maybe you weren't as open as you thought you were. However, I'm pretty sure the Japanese weren't conspiring to fool you with smiles while laughing behind your back.
@fuckimperialists damn your ignorant because you cant accept the way how one culture has lived on for decades in history. no need to try to change Japanese culture in order to fit your own.
@Unit731Jap Broke my friend's bike back in high school. Her mom came to the shop to get the quote for repairs? She laughed. But it wasn't a "that's it?" kind of laugh. I was vividly frightened.
i find that funny how they once considered expressions with the face bad and now they make all kinds of facial expressions and gestures in things like j-pop videos and stuff.
That reporter is extremely rude! I can't believe he called Noh boring directly in front of that professor! "No plot"? Do a little research, most Japanese people already KNOW the plot because Noh plays tend to feature historical and mythological figures. Sure, it might feel boring to SIT there for hours, but Noh is by NO means boring in and of itself.
You'd think a reporter would have the sense not to insult another country's culture in such a way...
XD I never try to pull a smile when I go outside in public but I find this amusing! But really, I'd rather smile during the right moment instead of trying to pull fake emotions deliberately.
HighPR, artificial smile dosent help to the health,one hasw to smile from the heart, then body will produce some neurotransmitters, which can be useful for antiaging,in school they teach you buisness smile, like the girls on reception.
Whites believe Asians do not succeed when it comes to inventions and creativity and change because they have no feelings and are apathetic and indifferent to any situation.
Looks like I pulled a Japan when I got out of a really bad situation a few years ago when I was stealing change from realy rude customers at a convenience store. I had a sort of interview with the store manager and I was so serious at the time that I did not make any facial expression. I just sort of stared at his face the whole time. He even commented about it mid interrogation.
I had a lot of practice from smiling where I'd normally say f*** you very much too.
totally devoting oneself to a job they might not really like all that much from sunrise to late pm 6-7 days a week can do that to you. The one part about working in japan that would be difficult for me.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
No they're not. If you watch the news or actual footage of Japan's streets, they're all ugly mother fuckers. You only see a few pretty ones on the media, cause they've all went through serious plastic surgeries.
Japanese are depressed ? How so? they have the most longest life average span in the whole world. So go believe your media crap which is where it seems you get all your facts.
I like how their 3d models are always lighter in complexion then the japanese.Japaneses are so crazy about light skin it is beyond madness.On another note they don't look depressed to me , they express a set of feelings differently.They appear a little stuck up.but i think it is mainly because in the west japanese are seen as asexual or manga crazies
If you type in "Japanese workers on smile training" and click the ReutersVideo, you'll see that their video was submitted July 17, 2009. In a way, this smile training could be plausible because it seems that many people in Japan are depressed from their long work days, high stress, or other situations. Plus they do have a high suicide rate. It's very sad. =(
How come Japan have some of the craziest and funniest tv shows....and still they need schools like this. Hehehehe. I wonder if they watch Crayon Shin Chan. hahaha
in 1820 a man named fredrick osloft one day he was working in his lab until a ghost came by and killed him the next morning fredrick was nowhere to be seen 100 years later two boys went in the lab as a dare the boys where never seen again where aparently murdered now that u have read this comment tonight when u go to sleep the two boys and fredrick will come and murder you but you can stop this by posting this comment on 5 other videos
...this is such crap. aren't facial expressions suppose to come naturally? living in japan for 9 years this is the first time i've heard of this. ask anyone on the street about something like this, and they'll think you're insane. thank god.
I know that as a child I smiles a lot and then my family got on hard time in young adult yrs and for several Yrs have not had the heart to smile. then about a yr ago I look into the mirror and tried to smile but could not .its a scientific fact that the face uses more muscles to frown then to smile and if you don't work the smiling ones you WILL loose the ability. I try to smile more so I don't have a face that looks like my moms. she had a stroke and lost the ability to smile all together.
With all respect, why would there be a school with paying clients trying to learn western facial expressions? Most of us watching this are truly interested in the Japanese, besides some of the people who show bigoted comments below, and would like to see the cultural differences for us to better understand the Japanese.
Do you think that perhaps the way this classes shown are trying to teach the clients Western facial expressions rather than the claim that Japanese culture has less facial expressions? Sorry, just interested in the subject.
Thank you! I'm not Japanese, but I have been to Japan several times & this video is total nonsense! A lot of these people's videos are very outdated... I've seen so much untruth here that I can't help but think these people are a bunch of liars.
Mutsueaa, I agree with you. Whoever made this documentary took some extreme aspect and tweaked it to play into stereotypes. I too hate when I see my culture misrepresented in foreign countries. I live in Japan, people laugh, smile, cry, wince, grin, roll their eyes and other sorts of facial gestures. When I walk down the street people wave and smile automatically.
I don't understand why you say this is a false representation of the culture. I mean Im watching them taking smile classes. The evidence is right in front of me. Did you mean that this is'nt the norm there?
just because you see a shooting on TV doesn't mean it's happening everywhere. Same applies here. Sure, there may be a few of them, but it's not like EVERY person there is like this. It may be a thing that is somewhat unique to there, but that doesn't mean it's common.
Why is the Japanese finding it so hard to smile? Gawd, you guys borrowed our Chinese culture and yet you forgot to borrow our laughters? Chinese people are infamous for laughing out loud, lol. Wait .. maybe that's why we have round-ish facial features o-o
Am I the only one here who thinks that sounds seriously off?
Anyway, I find it hard to believe that the Japanese have frowned upon (no pun intended) facial expressions and smiling. I dunno...I just doesn't seem natural to keep a straight face all the time.
i agree but the straight face could be bad ass. The spartans didnt express any emotions and it is said that if you punch one of them in the face they would look at you and wonder why you did it. no reaction
This guy thinks everybody's head will be in the shape of Carrots in 100 years? That is such a load of rubbish it almost makes me think badly of Japan.
So 100 years prior to this very comment, did we have fat huge fucking heads? No, we didn't. As far as you go back in history there is NO difference in our head shape.. the only differences would be when we were literally Apes.

totally devoting oneself to a job they might not really like all that much from sunrise to late pm 6-7 days a week can do that to you. The one part about working in japan that would be difficult for me.

No they're not. If you watch the news or actual footage of Japan's streets, they're all ugly mother fuckers. You only see a few pretty ones on the media, cause they've all went through serious plastic surgeries.
They're 95% plastic and 5% Japanese.

Japanese are depressed ? How so? they have the most longest life average span in the whole world. So go believe your media crap which is where it seems you get all your facts.

I like how their 3d models are always lighter in complexion then the japanese.Japaneses are so crazy about light skin it is beyond madness.On another note they don't look depressed to me , they express a set of feelings differently.They appear a little stuck up.but i think it is mainly because in the west japanese are seen as asexual or manga crazies

If you type in "Japanese workers on smile training" and click the ReutersVideo, you'll see that their video was submitted July 17, 2009. In a way, this smile training could be plausible because it seems that many people in Japan are depressed from their long work days, high stress, or other situations. Plus they do have a high suicide rate. It's very sad. =(

...this is such crap. aren't facial expressions suppose to come naturally? living in japan for 9 years this is the first time i've heard of this. ask anyone on the street about something like this, and they'll think you're insane. thank god.

I know that as a child I smiles a lot and then my family got on hard time in young adult yrs and for several Yrs have not had the heart to smile. then about a yr ago I look into the mirror and tried to smile but could not .its a scientific fact that the face uses more muscles to frown then to smile and if you don't work the smiling ones you WILL loose the ability. I try to smile more so I don't have a face that looks like my moms. she had a stroke and lost the ability to smile all together.

Racist propaganda. Japanese doesn't know how to show facial expressions?
mutsueaa 2 years ago
With all respect, why would there be a school with paying clients trying to learn western facial expressions? Most of us watching this are truly interested in the Japanese, besides some of the people who show bigoted comments below, and would like to see the cultural differences for us to better understand the Japanese.

I'm Japanese, but this is a terrible instance of propaganda.
mutsueaa 2 years ago 7
Do you think that perhaps the way this classes shown are trying to teach the clients Western facial expressions rather than the claim that Japanese culture has less facial expressions? Sorry, just interested in the subject.
happyness01 2 years ago
Thank you! I'm not Japanese, but I have been to Japan several times & this video is total nonsense! A lot of these people's videos are very outdated... I've seen so much untruth here that I can't help but think these people are a bunch of liars.

its just helping with pesonality issues, NOT saying No one in Jp smiles, they defintly do.
& the people on the street are just like anywhere, when people are walking on the street to & from work there Not Smiling, Gleeming

Mutsueaa, I agree with you. Whoever made this documentary took some extreme aspect and tweaked it to play into stereotypes. I too hate when I see my culture misrepresented in foreign countries. I live in Japan, people laugh, smile, cry, wince, grin, roll their eyes and other sorts of facial gestures. When I walk down the street people wave and smile automatically.
lachiflera 2 years ago
I don't understand why you say this is a false representation of the culture. I mean Im watching them taking smile classes. The evidence is right in front of me. Did you mean that this is'nt the norm there?
Suorrel 2 years ago
just because you see a shooting on TV doesn't mean it's happening everywhere. Same applies here. Sure, there may be a few of them, but it's not like EVERY person there is like this. It may be a thing that is somewhat unique to there, but that doesn't mean it's common.

Why is the Japanese finding it so hard to smile? Gawd, you guys borrowed our Chinese culture and yet you forgot to borrow our laughters? Chinese people are infamous for laughing out loud, lol. Wait .. maybe that's why we have round-ish facial features o-o

"Professor Hiroshi Hiroshima has a face fetish."
Am I the only one here who thinks that sounds seriously off?
Anyway, I find it hard to believe that the Japanese have frowned upon (no pun intended) facial expressions and smiling. I dunno...I just doesn't seem natural to keep a straight face all the time.
zalphagotango342 4 years ago 5
i agree but the straight face could be bad ass. The spartans didnt express any emotions and it is said that if you punch one of them in the face they would look at you and wonder why you did it. no reaction
