Loneliness in Japan - Zeplin in Tokyo #7

**Like it? SUBSCRIBE!**

Hey guys, hows it going? Todays video is on loneliness in Japan. Several others seemed interested in the subject, so here we go!

Remember,if there is a spesific subject you would like covered, send me a mail or video response or something!

General info:
My channel, TokyoZeplin, focuses on my experiences as a gaijin, a foreigner, living (or lived as of now) in Tokyo, Japan. While a lot of my videos are not facts about Japan, but rather my personal experiences in Japan, mostly Tokyo, a few of them do pop up. My topics range from prostitution in Japan, Japanese porn (no, not really), womens rights in Japan, working conditions in Tokyo, japanese hostesses and their culture, japanese history and culture in general, and much more. Now and then I help people learn japanese, especially japanese slang, though not a lot since there are a lot of tools for learn japanese online. But since I rarely went outside Tokyo, this is really mostly about Tokyo Japan, as my name indicates.

It is odd someone who looks and sounds as unhappy about their lives as you do that you have the right to judge on others being happy. I have many Japanese friends who are as happy as anyone I know back home. Being polite (or in your words *fake*) does not equal unhappiness. Just saying a lame disclaimer at the beginning of your video does not mean what you say is not racist. Why not do a posting on how black people are less intelligent than white people or how homosexuals should be shot?

What in the world did I say that was racist? o0

[Gimmeaflakeman]

Yeah.... hmmm.... everyone is miserable here. No real happy people. They have a monopoly on it, and they're obsessed with comedy. Unlike the USA where comedy is shunned.

This was one of those videos where I just have to shake my head and walk away.

Last thing, do you have to ask for subs in every video? I think people get the idea of how yt works. No need to push it every time.

[TokyoZeplin]

You so shouldn't be saying anything about asking for subs, I just checked out your earlier J4M videos yesterday, and you poke endlessly about giving it a 5 rating and fav'ing it! ;) Dont throw stones, glasshouses, and all that shiz! :P

And check out yuichituba's video response, which I think is really great, and perhaps at times sums it up better than I did.

People all over the world are mainly unhappy..contrary to that, there are better days but the truth of it all is that it's lonely everywhere..US is lonely as hell

[TokyoZeplin]

If you think that its the same kind of feeling all over the world, which is the vibe i'm getting for you, I really need to get better at explaining things, or people need to get better at accepting stuff isn't what they expect/know.

Honestly, I have no idea which it is.

[TokyoZeplin]

If what you got from this video is that I somehow said that the entire japanese race was somehow geneticly predesposed to be unhappy, then dear sir, we need to question your inteligence.

[TheBermuda]

I think it's actually really weird that people are angered by this video. It's nearly common knowledge that the Japanese value appearances and are generally overworked/unsatisfied. I love Japanese culture; that's why I'm watching this video. What he said wasn't at all racist, it was just basic observations. I'm an American, and I can say the American youth are generally very materialistic. This doesn't apply to every teen, but it's still candid and true.

Do you live in Japan full time? or do you live there part time? it sounds like an odd question but I know lots of people who only go there for a few months due to work.

[ElMakz]

@danddsuncle maybe

[NickDan555]

Did you find a perfect place for you to live in? or where would you pick to live?

[kelveto]

Brilliant post. I admire and celebrate your honesty. Take care.

[geragna]

@danddsuncle Change your tampon already.

I've been living together with a japanese woman for a few years now, outside of Japan though. To get to know a japanese person is VERY hard. It takes long time for them to open up. Japanese society is interesting, but when you dig deep, then it's easy for a gaijin to start to become very surprised, by this way of not being honest and "playing happy". But if you do learn to now a japanese person, and you keep having respect and patience for the difference, then it can be a beautiful experience.

Come to Mongolia and make videos hehe

[Osakagames]

I do want to be lonely and that's why I prefer Japan so I can stay quiet and do my own thing without talking to people like play video games on the computer. I need the emulator if you know about it.

[syrencat007]

it can be a drawback to not be able to talk about one's bad day, but in american society people bitch too much of every bad thing thing that happens which is the extreme opposite and equally bad.
