GEAR I USE

[blackxicans]

the first woman interviewed was hilarious.

"At least he wasted my time for two weeks and not two years" lmao

[extremelucky]

Takashi’s journalism, camera, and English skills get noticeably better each video. Go Takashi!!!

[bravosierra]

A guy that goes to all that effort to learn his woman’s native language so that he can meet her parents is a keeper.

[IsletaWoman]

My son has been interested in Japanese culture since he was a child. (he’s 24 now) I wanted to gift him a trip to Japan but he doesn’t want to go, he worries that he might offend people without knowing it. We’re Native American Indigenous and in our culture our elders are very important to us. We are quiet and sometimes considered shy. I would really like for him to experience your country but I don’t know what kind of experience it would be for him.

[MsAllykat]

There are two kinds of guys in my experience here in Japan. The kind that only wants sex and isn’t interested at all (or dates you only out of curiosity) and the kind that is too shy to even bring up the fact that they like you. It’s so frustrating 😭

[cassiel]

This was really interesting! But I think you'll probably get more clear answers around why Japanese guys don't seem to date foreign women by asking Japanese guys, not the women. All my foreign female friends in Japan always said they were interested in dating Japanese guys, but all of them consistently said that the dates never went anywhere.

[bushy]

Just noticed the camera quality improved dramatically. Really makes you appreciate the cleanliness of Japanese streets.

[Chazwiek]

"When he came to America, he really wanted to meet my family, but they don't speak Japanese..." 😭😭😭 learning to speak your girlfriend's language to talk to her mom?? So wholesome I'm dying

[TheKnightXavier]

The last interview gave really good insight into the question and it was very heartwarming to see Takashii and the interviewee connect through speaking Japanese 😄

I am a foreigner in Japan married with a Japanese guy. We have dated for around 1 year and half and then we got married. I came here for work as researcher and then met my husband. But he is someone that already lived abroad and he speaks Spanish and English besides Japanese. I think Japanese guys that spent some time abroad have more open mind. Also, I never tried to fit in Japanese culture, I was just myself and he accepted me. His family also accepted me and this is amazing. If someone lives in Japan and wants to know more about us on 22/01 we will be on the Japanese show “shinkosan irasshai” on ABC TV😊

[amauritaniannomad]

The Indian girl is very articulate and I think what she said was quite accurate. Japanese me are a bit shy to begin with but then when they do date foreign women they do not take them seriously. But I will also add that the same applies foreign men who date Japanese girls. They are mostly there for hookups and do not take them that seriously.

you find the most funny, interesting people for interviews ...
is so so simple but the feeling obtained and the informations are so authentic, natural, unique

[Mabrele]

I would say there is another huge issue behind this and it´s the ethnicity of the foreigner person. I have been in Japan already for 7 months and I realized that blonde and white-skin girls get way more attention than dark haired and dark-skin girls. There is some sort of idolization for this "kind" of foreigner. So that also adds up to the equation when we contemplate dating. Sometimes even if you receive some sort of attention from men, they do not go further into something serious and it can be very difficult sometimes to find an honest man when they tend to think you are "easy" just because you do not share the "Japanese social standards".

[KingR]

I will say one thing I noticed as a foreign guy living in Japan who works in education and used to go to things like language exchange events, I find in general there are way more girls interested in English and foreign cultures than men. From my experience, the students who are most interested and most active participants in my elementary English classes are girls, I also judged a high school English speech contest that had nearly 40 girl students and less than 5 guys who were participants, and found both language exchange events and language exchange apps had predominantly Japanese women users.

Thank you so much for watching!
If you have your own opinion on this topic, please share it!

[foncywoolsocksiii]

Thank you for posting both perspectives! This has been helpful and fascinating to see.

[kenX]

I wonder if these videos are Takashii’s way of getting relationship advice so he can date foreign women.

[nikkxie_]

Glad to be a part of this! Thank you for the opportunity ❤

[mieste]

I am married to a japanese man and I have to say it can be difficult sometimes 😁🤣 but I can be also difficult for him I guess - nevertheless we are together since over 10 years now and have a baby🎉😁

[SoyoyoS]

What I've learnt from all these videos is that a key element to a person success in Japan, in any area of their life is actually learning the japanese language, you'll do much much better!
