Very well said thanks for sharing your insight

I love how disciplined the Japanese are when it comes to their workplace or how they do the work. I just don't think so if it really points out to the whole Japanese community, but I love their idea of Kaizen-or continuous improvement:)

Yoshi, I admire these from my Japanese clients before but I guess I go with " we need to balance our time for work, family and play". Firstly, I encourage 8 hours on a daily basis and do overtime when there is real need for it only. We need sometime to relax our mind from work-related stress. Secondly, we need to interact and bond with our family to keep the commucation lines going. Thirdly, we need some relaxation time to recharge our energies as well.

Here in the Philippines we also do overtime work. But the problem is not same in your country which have a lot of hiring job for your people. Here in Philippines the people are hardworking but when we talk about job, amh" in my opinion only 70% had a good job here because some companies they criticise the people especially when they are Muslim. I love how Japan monitor and help their people.

Ah, that's why Japan is a successful country, and many years ahead of the world ❤💎

I've been working with Japanese boss and I've learned a lot how he trained us and how they/he valued his work. He's super strick when it comes to work but he is very kind boss to all of his employee.

Japan and Japanese people always have a big spot in my heart till now

My boss’ is somewhat like this but he’s Chinese! Lol! Like we worked overtime and not get paid for it and given a rare chance to take the overtime work spent as a free day but you have to schedule it beforehand but it was so rare that you don’t even get the chance to do it because of continuous production work, so you just tend to forget it so when I got the chance I filed a 1-2 weeks leave and there’s this one time I filed a leave and had a vacation out of the country I received an email early in the morning and I didn’t answer him ‘cause I’m on vacation hello! 😂😅 (but I got nervous that I didn’t reply 😅) but anyways the email was not that important so its okay! But when I came back from vacation I met him and gave her wife a ‘pasalubong’ (souvenir) and it’s like its just a normal day. Hahaha!

Hearing your explanation helped me understand more about the japanese’ mindset to working. Thank you so much for explaining it so concisely and as simple as possible.

To me, that (the mindset) is a double-edged sword in many ways. It is based on noble ideals such as teamwork, harmony (in a sense of the whole group), and the emphasis of inclusivity of the entire group when it comes to achieving progress which, I believe, sets Japan apart from the rest of the world (and is also the reason why Japan is and will always be associated with quality work). Downside is, the expectations bar is set too high, causing the individual to sacrifice the basic necessities (like personal time-off, rest, social needs) which led to a substantial number of suicide cases because of work. Too much of anything is oftentimes not good.

In spite of all these though, It is an indisputable fact that Japan is still a model example of progress and discipline, and quality service to a lot of people around the world, and is by all means a truly wonderful nation with wonderful people. And as a fan of the country myself (i’m from the philippines btw), i’m always in awe of Japan. I’d love to visit there someday and experience life over there, given the chance

I watched all of your vlogs in just a span of 3-4 hours. I like the way you and your brother smiles and laugh (not mentioning Kohei's dimple which is so adorable. Just keep up these kind of reactions, I'm pretty sure there will be more and more and more subscribers subscribing to your channel. Keep safe to the both of you..

[jaodedios]

I love that culture of you that dictates “process is more important than the outcome” and maybe that’s why your outputs are always highly valued.

In 🇵🇭, we are results driven, the more product we can produce, the better. On a negative note, that’s a bad culture. We even have this trait named “bahala na” which means “it’s okay” or “that’s enough”. But on a positive note, that simply means our contentment/ satisfaction is easily met. We can be “okay” or happy with what is presented to us for as long as it’s can be used / utilized.

Nice short content. Being hardworking as its merits and we it shows howJapan stands to world economic. It won’t say hate about it since I am not working in Japan but I guess the good thing is it’s improving.

[spyrame]

Love how the topic was a bit serious then you segue that “I like Attack of Titan by the way” 🤪😂😂 I bursted out laughing 😆

[ma.shierralaminoza]

Ill always admire your country for your discipline..

[marysan]

Hi Yoshi! How is it going?

Well, I have been working with Japanese bosses and been dealing with Japanese clients for almost 8 years now.. And yeah! Couldn't agree more with the things you said in this video.This has made me understand more about my work environment and my bosses...

This is a good one.. Thanks a bunch :)

I'm looking forward to hearing more from you, Yoshi. 😊 Take care.

[poppinstar]

yo i wish you can do more yoshi explains like this. the topic was discussed in the most brief but informational as possible. Being considerate with others is infact not a problem. i love it. cause the way you put other people first (in this case) promotes productivity. I also think it is just a matter of work life balance and life choices and commitment. hehe

@Yoshithejapaneseguy I work 12hrs a day here and it’s a big different from my last 8hours of work, but working in that long period of time is really different how japanese people think about work ... that’s why I admire how hard working japanese people are...
I love watching your videos together with you brother ... it made my day happy 😊 after my work

[mochilee]

Most companies here in the Philippines practice regular 8 hrs working time inclusive of breaktime. Unless needed to do overtime we do so. But we do beleive that health is wealth need not to stay longer at work. Teamwork at the workplace is needed thou but we need time too for our self, our family & even relaxation after long day work. Ive been working 8am to 5pm only for a long year. Well I salute you Japanese people being so hardworker & well advance country in everything. Im your subs and following all your vids. Thanks for sharing with us.

working overtime when it’s not needed for me is not only inefficient but unproductive… it will cost ur mental and physical health to deteriorate…. much more if it’s unpaid…. that’s the reason why eventhough I love Japan I still don’t feel like living and working there because of this work culture… I value the work life balance life….

In Philippines 1 minute before outgoing we shutdown our desktop 🖥 if you don't want to left behind by company shuttle or service. 🤭
My Japanese boss was working so hard. They're always last to go home. Yes that's normal to them. Always overtime even these pandemic days.
