Meet Japan’s Trash Collecting Samurai | Everyday Bosses #66

[@jorgeluis2247]

Jokes aside... this would be a really good plot for an Anime series targeting little children.

[@durjam3734]

Why for just children, I'd watch that anime lol

[@hozay6552]

Yep. I think it'd be great!

[@565chris1]

Omg yes!!! And if they hired these guys as voice actors of the characters too!!!

[@AmieW]

@@durjam3734 because they should have heroes to watch that doesn't always shoot laser beam but heroes who pick trash to keep place clean

for anybody even a slice of life. But I never watched slice of life and I don't know how to start

[@chroniclesofervil]

I think most people might think its stupid act to do such a performance alongside with trash picking. I personally felt their moves and heart really what inspires them to do so. It is not easy, who wants to pick trash? let alone doing actions like samurai moves etc. I think their actions goes far more than a performance, it is also to ask others to be more compassionate as a society to stop tossing trash wherver they go, and be responsible for their actions.

[@niteshsarkar]

No body thinks they are stupid. Those who think like that are stupid themselves.

Wait,is it the Japanese themselves who litter?? Sure it's not the bloody tourist?

[@jont2576]

cringe as fark lmao.........im embarrased for them even if they are not embarrased.......my god..... if i was japanese,i would first bow to the world in contrite apology for this deep shame within my bosom,and then to japan for itself..... this is like the middle schooler syndrome,cyuunibyou or something,except they are way past high school and into their twenties and still doing this......... sigh.......what happened to the days when anime was taboo and people who were into such otaku activities at least had a sense of shame?come back pls early 2010s and late 2000s....... look at the old man and the lady in the video trying to get as far away from these weirdos as possible..... this is what happens when a country's culture gets too mainstream and popular......what next marie kondo and the art of the samurai and tidying ur bed?foreword written by jordan peterson?

[@Jon-br8co]

No it's stupid...

[@sparkymularkey6970]

This is actually really beautiful. "Samurai" comes from a word that means to serve, and they're cleaning up the litter than can flood city streets and kill innocent ocean life, so these guys are doing a great service to others and the world. 💖

This is more than just street performance, this is influencing society in a positive way, not just directly by picking up trash, but by also drawing attention to the issue so that people who see them will be more careful not to litter, or maybe even clean up some litter on their own. Best wishes to this group, and a speedy recovery to Goto.

[@athapa01]

This is such a noble thing to do. I was a little overwhelmed towards the end when he said he just had his colon cancer surgery and the two are crazy to do this and he is grateful. Hope more students join him. This is such a nice feel good video ❤️

@@synco1732 actually the ninja came about from the Iga clan located in the Mountains of Iga, now Mie Prefecture. They were decimated during the Tensho Iga war during the Sengoku period (late 1500s) by Oda Nobunaga who led the Oda clan and eventually became the first samurai to rule over all of Japan. The Iga clan were the first to practice guerrilla warfare and were called Shinobi, to conceal oneself.

[@charmolettafranquestafiestayam]

When Goto came in and said she was doing really good even though she felt embarrassed. That is probably so simple to many people but it made me cry. In my area you do not often find acceptance and no one would ever encourage you, especially if you didn't do the action flawlessly on the first try. What a wonderful interaction.

Yesterday I read about korean chicken restaurant owner that post about handwritten letter from a boy that he feeds before. The boy is 16 years old and that time his little brother wants to eat chicken but he only had 5000 won. He went to few restaurants to let them buy chicken at 5000 won cost (usually they sell whole chicken in korean I think, not per piece). No one accept them until this restaurant owner who see the boy outside holding his 5000 won & try to cheer up his little brother. The owner even gave them the usual portion and don’t let them pay for the chicken. Maybe asian boss should interview this chicken restaurant owner for the next everyday boss series. The chicken restaurant isn’t got much sale going on in the pandemic but the owner still give them chicken for free. And because the owner post the boy handwritten letter many koreans orders the chicken from this shop but they told the owner just keep the money without sending the chicken. The owner then wants to reach out to the child to give them money and start fundraising for them.
