That's a very beautiful thing. Where I grew up, you couldn't leave your bike outside a grocery store, because it would be gone in less than five minutes. Pretty interesting how Japanese parents raise their children to be honest and good citizens, while Americans raise their children to only care about themselves.
Asking "why didn't anybody steal it" is not the right thing to ask. I think the right thing to ask is : why in other countries do people steal things? It's similar to a debate I got into when I was in the UK, with a lady I worked with, about "how is it someone's fault if their navigation system got stolen from their car just because they left it in there?". She argued that it is their fault, I argued that it is the fault of the criminal for stealing it. I guess it shows how used to crime she is.
If that was in Central London, the Army or the RAF Bomb Disposal would be called in to destroy it. Though in Japan, crime is relatively low there so I have heard from my friends that live there. So the chances of those parcels going walkies is 0.01%.
Around where I live, in rural Norway, I don't think there's a big chance they would've been stolen here either. Not in the city either. Everyone is real laidback.
Gotta love the Japanese people for that,honourable,oh I know this is weird but your voice is soooooooooooooooooo sexy,reminds of this guy,who sounds similar hahaha and he is cute,well there I wrote it!!!!
The real reason they weren't stolen is because 9 times out of 10, those boxes will contain people dressed in scary outfits waiting to jump out on members of the public that get too near. They've seen Japanese game-shows, they're no fools. That brings me to my next point, can you do an episode on Japanese TV; what you like to watch, if anything; what sort of thing is on?
We see this kind of thing quite often in Tokyo. The delivery guy left the stuff while he was delivering other stuff to the office. I am surprised to know that this is surprising people in overseas. Culture difference is interesting.
Me and my friends were eating at Hesburger (it's a Finnish rival for McDonalds). We decided to test how cheap these people can get and threw 2 0,05€ coins on the floor mat right after the door and in 10 minutes both were taken (note, by 2 different people).
Japan is such a wonderful country. The people their are so well behaved Of course no society is perfect, but if I could live in Japan, I certainly would.
I think the Japanese should ban foreigners. Japan has somehow created a pretty stable, good society. It won't stay that way if they let us jankes, kike money whores, nigger rapist-comedians, honkey have-to-win i-care-about-ideas-until-someone-touches-my-money types, and korean liars into their country.
Japan, just keep us losers out of your country or we're going to ruin it, and everyone knows that.
@310BPM well put. I'm not suggesting sonno Joi. You know.......... "that" Joey.
I'm just saying, and this goes for all of us, not just Japan.
You are allowed to like things and your culture the way they are. Whenever you allow a shitload of foreigners loaded with their own culture to enter yours, there are going to be drawbacks. If people think it's a big victory for Japan when they have 20% Chinese slum worker population, they are misguided.
@Floodlezoot It's hard enough to move to Japan as is so I'm sure all those who decide to go through all that, really love Japan and would do anything to fit in. Crime would be the ultimate stupid thing to do as a foreigner.
@Seshom This is one of those half truths, that people in Japan have a lot of money. There are so many homeless people in Japan and it depends which area of Japan. There are other spocieties on earth where the people have just as much money as Japanese citizens but there is a much higher street crime rate, why?????
@alumite1 If it's something expensive it may be more difficult for Japanese to take some kind of action lol Japanese care so much about what others think and tend to be uninterested in public. If it were an injury person who help someone, I'm afraid most of them would act like that.
@passerbyJap agreed they should be more americans. They should all own guns and shoot each other. Fuck their culture, stealing and robbery is the american way
@raw5069 Though I'm sure that must be an influence I highly doubt that's anywhere near the main reason people in Japan don't steal. It's called honor and respect. Otherwise people will break the law regadless of what the punishment is and usually worsening punishments doesn't seem to do much except fill prisons more. The desire to steal seems uncommon in the first place. If anything the harsh punishments reflects the general public's strong feelings on theft.
@dickylobster This is something that the whole world is victim too, Terrorism. Unfortunately this just says that Japan would be an easy mark for those scumbags who choose to hurt innocent people. Not that it's an American problem. It's a world-wide problem with religious implications.
Who would want to steal an unmarked box sitting in a commercial district? They are probably full of documents or something of no use to anyone, but their intended recipients. I'll be impressed if nobody touches boxes marked as computers or televisions or something.
My perhaps flawed theory in general is that someone seeing something left unattended like that might think it is "too good to be true" that it is valuable and not being watched. People might assume someone is nearby watching.
@gillianorley Thats here in America. If you're thinking its too good to be true, it means you thought about stealing from that stack. For them that thought doesn't even cross their minds. Instead its more like how nice of people to set up a donation drive and take part in it.
In the big cities of the USA a bomb squad would have been called and they would probably have used explosives to blow all those boxes up 'just in case'.
many japanese feel that obtaining something on own salary is the easiest way of getting fulfillment. and this vid shows a contraposition against this feeling. (also that's why japanese work hard.) but as you think, it's a quite normal behaviour for everyone, and it should be...
You know why no one steal them? Becuz the people never ever thought of doing anything to it, they think "oh! boxes" and that's realli it. Lol I used to live in those cities so I understand them quite well. I'm living in a very dangerous city, my pencilcases got stolen D:<
@SpyroTDragon not true. after the earthquake, donation money was stolen from a collection box in Fukuoka. There have been incidents like this in a lot places in Japan. I personally think that Japan is a great place full of decent people but we need to keep everything in perspective. People are people no matter where you go :)
@yulyu Well, I can believe it. I'm not saying Japan is Zero percent crime there. Something will always happen by anyone. You're so right that people are people. Around this whole world.
Also, if you go to the farm lands away from the cities, some places have a shelf outside that has the crop lined up like a store. You just look at the prices next to them and place the money in the little box, then grab the crop. No camera, no people, no security.
hmm... thats been pretty much my experience in london too... (with pallets of boxes beside a shop i used to work at, several times a week for years) although in london its weird. someone might leave the pallet of boxes but then steal the ladder you had propped against the wall. wankers.
@karmaburna in london, you walk around confused/lost, the next moment you're standing there in your underware. Such a scummy place london has become, especially the south east.
Why did that guy leave the boxes in the street? The boxes looked like they were kind of in the way of traffic. Couldn't he have left them on the sidewalk instead?
Everyone in there knows whats inside those boxes... they have this crazy ancient samurai ninja code of silence kind of cultural stuff around there, you really have to be a native or live there for more than 40 yrs. whats inside the boxes are body parts. j/k thanks
I am even surprised that in the middle of a city no one suspected it could be a bomb or something.. u know just because the Japanese are nice doesn't mean people from else where are D: ... I know at an airport in america the bomb squad would have been called for sure!!
I've heard that most crimes in Japan (yes, they do have crime) are solved because someone saw it happen. There's always someone around, and everyone is raised from birth to be a good citizen. Social pressure wins!
Wow, cultural differences: In the U.S. if you wear a "sick mask" into a store you'd probably either be followed or stopped by police because everybody thinks you're there to do something bad. In the U.S. if you left any stack of boxes out in the street they'd probably go missing.... I'm really starting to think about moving to Japan.
I must be weird, because my first thought was that6 I would move them onto the sidewalk so they didn't get hit by traffic. but I live in New England, home of some of the word's worst drivers.
it must be nice to not have to worry about this kind of stuff in japan although I'm sure its even worse when someone actually does something bad and its probably blown way out of proportion contrast makes a difference we shouldn't need laws tho and this is proof people should just be righteous enough to not have to be rewarded or punished when they do something right or wrong, authority is obsolete humans are headed for some pretty big changes soon HAPPY TRAILS
maybe if a brand new computer, some huge tv and more shiny stuff was out of the box there could have been some theft... noone is too attracted to regular boxes like that
Hahaha! That's only for certain in Japan. That's why you ought to love this people. Just great society. Japanese manners are really the top! So civilized. No wonder they dont like foreigners to located in their country =).
What leads me to say this is that's certainly not the first testing report of robbery and theft in Japan. Ive seen that in many TV shows, and as always, people are really honest and won't even think about it.
instead of thinking "why doesnt someone steal it?" the mindset should be "why should someone steal it?" simple thoughts like that really would make society a little better.
Hey guys... that was no delivery man. Did you see white gloves? Neither did I. So that was a brazen day light robbery right in front of yours truly. Jings! And he worked in security for years. Right in front of him. With a camera going yet! Now that's a thief with cajones.
I was in Hiroshima, visiting Miyajima island. I went to the very top of the island where there is a shrine. At the shrine, you could buy some beverages, and some charms. No attendants, no one was there. You merely made a donation (For drinks, or charms), and drop the money into a opened container. You could have easily taken whatever you want, including money. And yet, no one does..
@SilentMannam Very nice, nearly the same thing is possible on many hiking trails in remote areas of sweden/norway. You hike there, find a hut, take a piece of paper with data for a money transfer and wire the money when you are home again...
Can't imagine that in Austria... (Although the part with the delivery guy I could, people are too lazy to steal havy stuff...)
I remember during the earthquake incident that people were forming orderly lines to get food/water. Some were even offering their food/water to others. Meanwhile, in America, we have a woman who pepper sprays people on Black Friday. Oh joy! At least she turned herself in.
Unfortunately in a world with terrorism, that can be a bit frightening I think. Packages sitting in the street for so long unattended in NYC, the entire area would be shut down and evacuated, while bomb squad checked it out.
I've been to Japan several times and yes this is how things are. In fact, after the tsunami earlier this year people were going the the rubble of the affected areas and found bank notes lying around. Amazingly, people took the money back to the banks and turned it in!
This is another reason I love Japan. They have the "why would I?" mentality. Why would anyone steal or break something? There just isn't any point in being bad. Ofcourse there are idiots everywhere, but this I love about Japan.
I visited Japan in October. I was walking around in Tokyo one night and saw a truck for a professional video shoot. On the sidewalk next to the truck was a Steadicam ($40K) sitting in it's case...with no one around. I know it was a Steadicam because the name is molded into the cases and I knew it was in the box...because I'm American and lifted one handle to see if it was empty or not.
Thought about your earlier video about honesty in Japan. That's just awesome.
It's a nice trait of Japan, it sure is, but people who watch this always pretend it's only in Japan. People in Belgium wouldn't steal this stuff either, and I think a lot of European countries are like that.
@Rethardus I've never heard of any other country that these kind of things are possible. You're the first one I see claim such a thing. I can speak for Sweden and say that stuff can't be out in the open for very long before it gets stolen or broken. Probably not as often in the US but still.
@TheJapanChannelDcom If this was the US, people would've just taken it. Japan... the culture is different. This isn't so surprising that no one stole the boxes. I think this might be one of the contributers to Japan's ability to progress culturally, technologically, etc... People generally don't steal or commit crimes. Crimes, theft, auto just slow everything down. We need to pay the cops to catch the asshole thieves, we pay w/ tax dollars to keep these assholes in jail & feed and shelter them.
Well, the Japanese might be honest folk but that doesn't mean they don't do illegal stuff. For example the infamous drifting scene in Japan is one of those illegal, yet I must admit as a car lover awesome things. Taking on a touge is what made a manga, anime series and live action movie populair even, Intial D.
So yes, there are citizens who don't always behave nicely in Japan as well. Look on youtube: p52vfE1ejaA
That's a very beautiful thing. Where I grew up, you couldn't leave your bike outside a grocery store, because it would be gone in less than five minutes. Pretty interesting how Japanese parents raise their children to be honest and good citizens, while Americans raise their children to only care about themselves.

Wow, cultural differences: In the U.S. if you wear a "sick mask" into a store you'd probably either be followed or stopped by police because everybody thinks you're there to do something bad. In the U.S. if you left any stack of boxes out in the street they'd probably go missing.... I'm really starting to think about moving to Japan.

Hmm what's wrong with those people? It's hard to understand ... there could have been some really, really nice stuff in those boxes.

I must be weird, because my first thought was that6 I would move them onto the sidewalk so they didn't get hit by traffic. but I live in New England, home of some of the word's worst drivers.

it must be nice to not have to worry about this kind of stuff in japan although I'm sure its even worse when someone actually does something bad and its probably blown way out of proportion contrast makes a difference we shouldn't need laws tho and this is proof people should just be righteous enough to not have to be rewarded or punished when they do something right or wrong, authority is obsolete humans are headed for some pretty big changes soon HAPPY TRAILS

Hahaha! That's only for certain in Japan. That's why you ought to love this people. Just great society. Japanese manners are really the top! So civilized. No wonder they dont like foreigners to located in their country =).
What leads me to say this is that's certainly not the first testing report of robbery and theft in Japan. Ive seen that in many TV shows, and as always, people are really honest and won't even think about it.

exactly
instead of thinking "why doesnt someone steal it?" the mindset should be "why should someone steal it?" simple thoughts like that really would make society a little better.

Hey guys... that was no delivery man. Did you see white gloves? Neither did I. So that was a brazen day light robbery right in front of yours truly. Jings! And he worked in security for years. Right in front of him. With a camera going yet! Now that's a thief with cajones.

I was in Hiroshima, visiting Miyajima island. I went to the very top of the island where there is a shrine. At the shrine, you could buy some beverages, and some charms. No attendants, no one was there. You merely made a donation (For drinks, or charms), and drop the money into a opened container. You could have easily taken whatever you want, including money. And yet, no one does..

@SilentMannam 8 people took drinks and charms from the Shrine without donating.

@SilentMannam Very nice, nearly the same thing is possible on many hiking trails in remote areas of sweden/norway. You hike there, find a hut, take a piece of paper with data for a money transfer and wire the money when you are home again...
Can't imagine that in Austria... (Although the part with the delivery guy I could, people are too lazy to steal havy stuff...)

I remember during the earthquake incident that people were forming orderly lines to get food/water. Some were even offering their food/water to others. Meanwhile, in America, we have a woman who pepper sprays people on Black Friday. Oh joy! At least she turned herself in.

Unfortunately in a world with terrorism, that can be a bit frightening I think. Packages sitting in the street for so long unattended in NYC, the entire area would be shut down and evacuated, while bomb squad checked it out.

I've been to Japan several times and yes this is how things are. In fact, after the tsunami earlier this year people were going the the rubble of the affected areas and found bank notes lying around. Amazingly, people took the money back to the banks and turned it in!

This is another reason I love Japan. They have the "why would I?" mentality. Why would anyone steal or break something? There just isn't any point in being bad. Ofcourse there are idiots everywhere, but this I love about Japan.

I visited Japan in October. I was walking around in Tokyo one night and saw a truck for a professional video shoot. On the sidewalk next to the truck was a Steadicam ($40K) sitting in it's case...with no one around. I know it was a Steadicam because the name is molded into the cases and I knew it was in the box...because I'm American and lifted one handle to see if it was empty or not.
Thought about your earlier video about honesty in Japan. That's just awesome.

It's a nice trait of Japan, it sure is, but people who watch this always pretend it's only in Japan. People in Belgium wouldn't steal this stuff either, and I think a lot of European countries are like that.

@Rethardus I've never heard of any other country that these kind of things are possible. You're the first one I see claim such a thing. I can speak for Sweden and say that stuff can't be out in the open for very long before it gets stolen or broken. Probably not as often in the US but still.

@TheJapanChannelDcom If this was the US, people would've just taken it. Japan... the culture is different. This isn't so surprising that no one stole the boxes. I think this might be one of the contributers to Japan's ability to progress culturally, technologically, etc... People generally don't steal or commit crimes. Crimes, theft, auto just slow everything down. We need to pay the cops to catch the asshole thieves, we pay w/ tax dollars to keep these assholes in jail & feed and shelter them.
suiton629 2 months ago
Well, the Japanese might be honest folk but that doesn't mean they don't do illegal stuff. For example the infamous drifting scene in Japan is one of those illegal, yet I must admit as a car lover awesome things. Taking on a touge is what made a manga, anime series and live action movie populair even, Intial D.
So yes, there are citizens who don't always behave nicely in Japan as well. Look on youtube: p52vfE1ejaA
