This is a very important video, this along with the one about the hanko is very informative for people that want to live in Japan. Hope the next one is soon.

Hello again :)

I was wondering if you had a video about crime in Japan - how to keep yourself safe and report a crime or safety concern. I live in the murder capitol of my country, so safety is important to me. Although I am aware Japan is one of the safest places in the world, that can be pretty misleading sometimes.

Thanks!

@melnoad

No need.

Unless people are aggressive or go looking for trouble in Japan, it is extremely unlikely that they will experience any crime.

Surprising, I would have thought Japan to be a country that has greatly moved away from manual paperwork because of their high level of technology. Is there a reason for a lack of database infrastructure and the excessive use of paperwork in Japan?

@niten

I might make a video on that...

it is because change happens slowly..

nobody wants to "rock the boat" by changing anything or pointing out what needs changing!

@manekineko615 Wow, kinda makes me feel lucky to be a foreigner who will eventually come to japan xD

[manekineko615]

Hello from Aichi, Japan. When you apply job, you can type everything in English, and write just a few recent work history if you are foreigner. But, if you are Japanese, you must write down all of your work history and it must be written by mannualy. This is not Joke. If you apply 100 companies, you have to wite same resume 100 times and each different cover letter. You can't use white out even if you miswrote. You have to write new one from scratch. It is really nightmare for Japanese.

[WildBuck007]

To be fair. I absolutely deplore the states lately. How you are actually almost 9/10 times flatly told to "go online" to apply for a job. They won't even take a resume or a paper application. Even when the boss is whom you are talking to. It is insane.

Stuff like that I think is acceptable for paper.

[FHomeBrew]

Bureaucracy sounds like the first boss you'll encounter. Better grind some Japanese skills and level up your exp before going there in the first place.

[CruzzioXT]

Wow. Good for me that I live in Germany, so I'm used to bureaucracy and it won't be a problem for me if I move to Japan one day.

@Ruvigy Haha, nah it's fine. I don't even see an indicator saying that it has been thumbed down. Either way, it doesn't matter.

Anyway, that's awesome! It's somewhat of an obscure film, so I'm very glad someone else saw it, let alone notice the resemblance it bears (or what I think it bears) to Japan. Cult cinema at its absolute finest! One of my favorite films, that's for sure. I still find it funny that Robert DeNiro played the renegade plumber xD Satirically bashing bureaucracy since 1985!

@CarbonFrosty

Exactly what I thought about when I saw the title of this video. And sorry for thumbing down your comment, I missed the 'reply' button D:

[CarbonFrosty]

Ever see a movie called "Brazil"? Terry Gilliam of Monty Python made it. Sounds like it bears an uncanny resemblance to Japan (aside from the whole Dystopian aspect of it), lol.

Go to Poland and you will know what nightmare Bureaucracy means....
