Entering into Japanese Elementary and Junior High Schools [HDR] | Life in Japan Episode 155

[@oceanstaiga5928]

I went to Japan with my class on a school exchange. They held a welcoming ceremony for us too! And while we did the same for when their class visited our school, Japan was just another level. They had their band play and everything, it was super cool!

[@LIJ]

Japan is just another level for sure :)

[@oceanstaiga5928]

@Inna_Craft yes, I learned Japanese in school!

普通　外国人が不便におもったり、苦手に思うことを何の文句もなくすらすらとやってしまいます。 日本語も英語もバランスよくつかっていた、おしつけがましい”外国人苦労話し”でなく、見ていて爽快です。

[@SKARTINOV]

ママちゃんが日本人のベテラン母ちゃんみたいに頼もしい。商品を紹介しながら費用を計算しているのでしょう。 日本文化に順応した結果というより、才能があるのかもしれない。 強くて美しいママちゃんは家庭の大統領。パパも子供たちも感謝しないと。

アメリカンスクールかなって、斜めに見ていたけれど、しっかりした本物の日本の学校だね。入学してくれてありがとう。 みんなおめでとうございます。 お母さん、特に準備大変だったけれど、ちゃんとしてくれてありがとう。

I love how mom and dad dont forget to make this time special for Sarah too! Shes the big sis now and thats a huge role to take on! Im so proud of them all and its not even my family 😅

4月が入学進学なのは世界の標準から考えて合っていないという意見を耳にしたことがあります。 ただ桜咲く季節、新しい生活の門出にこれほどふさわしい季節はないと先人たちの思いを感じると日本人で本当によかったと感慨に耽ります。

Your kids are going to cherish these family videos when they are older!

[@LIJ]

I hope so!

[@danhill1186]

We absolutely love those insights into how things are done in Japan! The formal ceremonies have a certain "gravitas" in them that is very pleasing to watch no doubt! The kids look splendid in their uniforms! Wish all four of them a great start into their new school year!

[@LIJ]

Thanks!

[@misskizzz]

I love seeing how Americans live & thrive in other countries, and fully adapt to the cultural differences. This video was very pleasant to watch and kept me smiling. The children looked so cute in their uniforms.

[@xiaoxaxo]

wow, those kids are living the life i always wanted.

[@comarites]

As adults, we tend to forget about spring events, but it is also an important time to celebrate the growth of children. The fact that April is the start of the year seems to be unique to Japan. Anna and Becca looked so cute in their school uniforms！

[@植民地日本xMY説明欄へ]

少し大きめの制服が新入生らしい。 親は子供がすぐに大きくなるので、少し大きい制服を買うからです。

[@sakurasakuhigashi1994]

中学校では、規則や勉強の量がちょっと窮屈に感じることもあるかもしれませが、一生の思い出や友人ができる青春時代、存分に楽しんでいただければと思います🌸 ジョシュア君、青いランドセルカッコいいですね。通学路歩く姿、たくましいです👏👏👏

[@RF-hb3uw]

入学おめでとう！子供たちはあっという間に大きくなりますね。 親としては、うれしくもあり、ちょっと寂しい気持ちにもなりますよね！ ライター家の幸せを祈っています。

[@avusan]

学校からのプリントとかお知らせって本当に大変だと思う。ご両親も先生も苦労するだろうし、学力以外のやり取りは日本の教育機関の課題ですよね。

[@ただすけ-l3l]

みんなたくましく育ってますね。 見ていて元気をもらえますよ。 これからも楽しみにしています。 どうぞ皆さま幸せに暮らせるよう応援してます。

海外在住の者です。たまたまお勧め動画にあって見てみたら私の地元でびっくり！撮影と編集が素晴らしくて、見慣れたはずの景色がとっても輝いて見えます。パパとママのお話も上手で見ごたえある！　何本も見てしまいました。コロナで三年近く帰れていない中、地元が見られてうるうる！これからガンガン見ます！それにしてもお子さんたちの中学、遠いですよね～。徒歩通学頑張って～！

[@nancy7542]

I particularly love Japanese school life in the manga I read and anime I watch, so thank you for the real life experience too!

[@spicymangooo]

I haven’t needed a uniform after elementary school but I remember there was a store just for your local school needs for uniforms and pe clothes etc. I forgot about that until this video. Hectic for sure.

[@user-pekopeko-nousagi112]

皆新生活頑張れ〜！ 楽しい日々になりますように！

[@marika2185]

入学、進級おめでとうございます！ Life in Japanさんの動画は2年ぐらい拝見しているので勝手に自分の子供のことみたいに思えて嬉しくなりました笑 これからも動画楽しみにしています🥺🫶

[@LIJ]

本当にありがとうございました。

[@metalhead1899]

Came across your channel randomly. It’s great to see your children move up to the next level but preparations are a headache. I’m Bhutanese but saw my 2 girls go through the same ordeal. Now they have finished their studies and working. Nostalgic memories while watching your children prepare. Lived in Japan for 25 years and now back in my home country.

[@LIJ]

So glad you found the channel! Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@ciarahershey943]

Congratulations to all of you! Watching your videos, I realise these new beginnings are a huge milestone for the parents as well. I have so much respect for you!

[@toshikawa3515]

Congratulations for kids' entrance ceremonies! Elder sisters are very pretty with uniforms. Please study hard, find good friends, and enjoy student lives!

[@Neonagi]

Ahh lovely picnic area. As well as the other less traveled spots that seem to have all those beautiful sakura blooms. Life moves fast, I'm glad you get to capture it and share.

[@ムッチー-h4m]

[@piropiro-24]

It's exciting but fun for your kids to prepare various things before school enrollment. If you look at it like this, you can see that Japanese schools cost too much money. However, I think the fact that you have everything and what you have in this way is one of the good things and culture about Japan's differentiation. gan-batte-ne!

[@makot4271]

あなたの家族感に共感します　私もそのような時期を思い出し元気がでました！

Thanks so much. Because of privacy, we don't show our neighbors and the our kids' best friends. But we have great neighbors and get along well with them. It would be very interesting to show, but it's not possible at this point.

Ohh, that randoseru looks sturdy! If there's anything I learned about my few visits to Japan, their Japan-made products are very good and last very long. Also, I saw in NHK that there are shops specializing in recycling randoseru and creating beautiful leather pieces like notebook covers, wallets, etc. Thanks for sharing this and good luck for the new school year!

[@amonrei]

They're designed to last at least for the whole elementary school years if not more thus costing quite a bit. A few hundred dollars new and some even close to 1000 dollars.

Thank you! 😃

Such a beautiful family, always so impressed by how supportive, outgoing and brave everyone is :) Just watching this gives me anxiety to my back to school days at the end of summer, and I was learning in my native English haha just blown away by all this. So cool to learn about Japanese culture through your videos. Would LOVE to see more input about what Junior High is like from the girls as they go along, they are so bright and talented it's so fun to follow and wish them all the best! And all the best to everyone :) Also love that they all walk to school, and up to 45 minutes, so healthy for mind and body :) Blessings to all, thanks for sharing!

Even though I'm Japanese, my education other than the first year of kindergarten was in USA, so I have no recollection of that time as I am in my late 30s, and everything was foreign to me and my wife (non-Japanese) when our first born went through it, and our second child just entered grade school. Initially thought of international because we went through American system, but heck, Japanese school is not bad either. As parents dealing with kids in education system that's foreign to ours, there's so much curiosity, and how we have to prepare for the 入学式 and all of that. The junior high would make us nervous in a couple of years!

[@KOHEI-hv4zz]

Although two big girls looked like bit a nervous during entrance ceremony of junior school, it should be natural since I also was like the atmosphere of junior school was pretty different from elementary school. Anyway hope girls enjoy junior school through and through! I love Joshua’s ランドセル is bright blue and so cool! All boy’s ランドセル were black one when I was in elementary school.
