Is It Difficult to Make Friends in Japan? MY EXPERIENCE 👀🇯🇵

Let me know if this makes sense or not!! 🤔 The DARK Side of Being BLACK in Tokyo 🇯🇵😔 - kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZoTaiYGCg7Wjn9Usi=ScFUIGdY4QHbKLyQ

Bro you have too much cognitive dissonance in your analysis. Japanese conform to politeness but underneath they are a mixed bag, like the US.>...But still, it's far better life than in the USA...facts...Are they repressed? yes, but u don't have to be like that.....QUit being bogged down with those assholes; ..Dont be so idealistic, focus son pragmatism...Take the best of Japan and carry the best parts of the US, create ur world in that bubble... they got enuf cool ppl to have a good times....but LEARn the LANGUAGE

[@SorryMalinv]

The fake laugh analogy was spot on that just happened to me older guy striked up a convo with me and started making jokes but they wasn't funny and the younger me would've laugh and tried to play along because I felt like that was the nice thing to do especially with him being older because he probably don't have to many social interaction anymore and probably lonely!

[@CIZCI]

In America, we are indeed more kind and forgiving to people who are guests in the country.

[@AyueKodamaes]

Not really.

[@peaceloveShu]

America has always been a nation of mostly foreigners so that may play a role in how we treat outsiders

[@goutfromfriedokra]

More kind? You gonna get coldness if you visit nyc or DC...Go to a small Japanese town and u get hospitality

[@LilBoss2025]

Brother, Japan attracts a lot of weird people; a lot of people whobare running away from things in their own country. And a lot of non-japanese people who want to gate keep Japan from brothas for some reason🤷🏾‍♂️🇺🇸 Ignore all the troll comments. Don't let any hate get to you.

[@peaceloveShu]

The hate comes with it, I embrace it! Appreciate the comment. 🇯🇵🤙🏾

[@SorryMalinv]

So I think its always important to be yourself as much as possible but there are times were you may have to play along depending on the situation me fake laughing don't compromise my authenticity if its going to make someone's day help aid a situation and don't hinder yours! Great Vid Twin

[@peaceloveShu]

Agreed brother! Sometimes you have to play the game. Chess not checkers you know. 🇯🇵🤙🏾

Crazy part is you never know what's real and what's not until you learn how to read peoples ACTIONS and BODY LANG. in every society tbh.

That’s true but they got it downpact in Japan I won’t even lie 😂 .. Will have you fooled

[@songandwind72]

There is a difference between friendship and being used as a free language machine.

[@xEagle3Y3x]

Bro that girl straight up Tatemae'd you when she said it would be easy as a foreigner to make friends. She was telling you what she thought you wanted to hear, especially since she knew the meaning as you translated for her. As someone who's been living here over 2 years now from Australia - tatemae is no joke, they will straight up lie to your face about everything and waste your time just to placate to you it's crazy. It's the reason for all the good parts of japan as well as ALL the bad.

[@peaceloveShu]

Real life example, yeah? 🤦🏾‍♂️😂

I think they are nice as long as you follow the rules of the culture but it will be up to you to know the rules before you visit. Nobody is going to tell you. When I was there it was many people who were super interested in talking to me and other who could careless so meeting people isn’t hard but unless you live there and learn some language you won’t make deep connection and that could go for any country

[@peaceloveShu]

@@ThatMannDon I feel that bro!! I’ve also seen a few videos where people born & raised in Japan who speak Japanese but don’t look like the “traditional” Japanese person has a second-class citizen experience in their own country. (kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3rZcoabhbBna6csi=YeY0ZmYELBaPTozT) I wish I knew more of the language so I could see how that changes the experience. Do you speak much Japanese yourself?

[@bigred0079]

If you followed Japanese culture if you're male you would practice sexual harassment and assault because it's rampant in the country.

[@ThatMannDon]

@@peaceloveShu I was actually studying Japanese for about a year before I even went because at that time I wanted to move to Japan so I had small conversations with people with little help from google translate lol

I was wondering where my niggas was at yesterday! But just to give some alternate perspective u can take it or leave it But it’s not just a Japan thing cause I traveled to one country outside the US too, & it’s just a people/ society thing IMO U will have genuine people in the world & u will have fake people, to get closer to more authentic people one must first ask himself a question 1. Have I talked to enough people to meet that authentic tribe yet? 2. What inside of me is attracting those type of “fake people”/ what makes me susceptible to entertaining people that I knew were fake from the start? Bcz who u meet is a mirror of u in some way shape form or fashion & god/ the universe puts those people in our lives to alternate our perspective as u have displayed your growth w this video. Keep going brotha ‼️ This is happening in America still rn too. The best advice I can give because I finally found a soul tribe of such, make people prove themselves? One may ask wym?? Make them show that they fwy, & sit back & chill, if they do cool, if not that’s okay. We can’t expect EVERYONE to fw us because a lot of times it’s them. I use to hate the saying “it’s not you it’s me” but that shit is actually more true the more I came to realize. Don’t give up my nigga. As a fellow black man we already start life on hard mode. Keep that shi pushing & im sure you’ll find what u lookin for whatever that may be Peace love & prosperity/ prayers even if u don’t take into account anything I said above just offering alternative perspectives. 🙏🙏🙏❤️🛐🧑🏾‍🌾📿💫🧟‍♂️‼️🧎🏽‍➡️👌

[@giomusah2155]

ah man. Quit with the hard mode shit. We grew up in the US, we got it easy compared to poor ass ppl in other countries. I'm not gonna let some white boy or any other race get me down with rude interactions, it slows u down..If they say shit, u say it back to ur face--and move on .......W..focus on the money, get rich , then we treat these assholes like trash...he's also a rookie; if u want asian hoes u need to go to high level college or profession..That's their priority; it aint like the US, where some smoothness can bag u some candy

[@peaceloveShu]

Your words don’t fall on death ears bro! Definitely taking all of that into account and I appreciate you sharing your perspective. The “show and prove” method doesn’t sound like a bad idea! Our reality is a reflection of us as well so I can agree to that. Japan is just a different place so it’s a lot to understand.

I guarantee u u won't be getting the women u want by direct approach it's gotta be through a friend..A filtering type of system.......it will take time: Learn the language deep, join a gym, and make friends with the locals...your life experiences in Japan will be 10x.....

Bruh I’m black & when I went to Japan last year, and walking onto the train I had my umbrella sticking out behind me & this old Japanese man I guess ran into trying to rush in behind me. And he literally poked me in my chest getting loud saying something. In my head I was like wtf, but just said gomenasai to him 🙄.

[@peaceloveShu]

Should’ve brought the translator out and asked him to repeat 😂🤦🏾‍♂️

[@jlindsey1991]

How long are you in Japan?

[@yamuiemata]

The society is strict and racist...just like their neighbors in S.Korea They are not racist only towards black people, but their own Asian compatriots as well i.e vietnamese, Thais and Cambodians They won't openly admit it tho, you need to gain their trust or heavy drinking sessions

[@AyueKodamaes]

I don't understand how can you be racist in Japan, considering that most Japanese songs are like 30% in english, lol. Japanese people need a reality check sometimes(same goes to the S. Koreans).

[@peaceloveShu]

I’ve actually heard things about how certain Asian countries (Japan for example) won’t date people from certain other countries (Vietnam for example) so that’s interesting you say that. Maybe I saw a few videos talking about it, I don’t remember entirely

[@yamuiemata]

@@peaceloveShu things are changing because the society is dying...literally, however, the extreme conservative notions are the problem

[@goutfromfriedokra]

Racist? You should change that word...Racist is America and its history. Now a huge chunk of Japanese are anti foreigner so that's their preference. They don't prefer SE asians because they are poorer...Do Californians look up to Mississippians? No--it's much poorer...Japanese believe they have the higher culture, and they may be right

[@ratdoto2148]

The guy who stared at you was just a random mental case that you find in any country. The guy yelling at your for the shoes was really upset because you committed an extreme taboo. You are right though, a genuinely nice person wouldn't have yelled at you. Not being nice doesn't make someone a particularly bad person though, like you said, it can just show a lack of social intelligence. In saying all of this I will criticise you somewhat harshly for a moment. No shoes in certain places is such a notorious rule that not knowing it also shows a lack of social intelligence. You were both in the wrong.
