Is Japan a woman's paradise ?

[@komori841]

So happy to hear that!!! Honestly choosing theme always make me nervous a little bit, but your message relived me .. Thanks so much!! ^^

[@SUPERGENKI]

Well, in my opinion its like this : Some Japanese feminists claims women are treated unfairly in terms of lower salary for the same job as her male counterpart, and that IS true. However, its also true, Japanese women enjoy so many benefits, such as the "special prices", special womens day for this or that, libraries, massage parlors, train cars and other thing for "women only" - hell even so many places have toilets for "women only" that i started to use womens toilets in emergencies.

[@darrellhall9141]

ありがとうございます。 I love you Komori. I'm studying Japanese, and find your videos very helpful. I want to visit Japan someday. またね😊

[@Mialalub]

I love your videos, they are always very informative! Thank you! I would love to visit Japan one day!

[@K78644]

I absolutely love your videos and enjoy listening to you. this was very informative and fun!

[@komori841]

Thanks so much ! I am just want to share about the fact of Japan. Thanks so much for your kind message ; D

[@komori841]

Thanks for your insight.. I know Japan is some what unique, so that why I wanted share this topics.

[@PedroBlazeDrums]

Komori san! It's so interesting how you have the introduction animation and transitions with cool music! Good work! I always enjoy learning new and useful information with your videos! :) I "liked" your Facebook fan page and I will visit your website to give you support! :D -Pedro

[@peckchodelets1]

Thanks for your videos, Japanese culture is so interesting!! Keep the videos coming!!!

[@bzsgzs]

wow this is EXTREMELY informative and interesting. this is like the most interesting thing i've heard today. and btw i love your energy, i feel like we are chatting in real life!

[@CalLady79]

Hello! I just started watching your videos and they're informative. Thanks for sharing! There are many women's services in America, but some of the concepts in Japan seem more detailed, like for example I haven't seen Women's Stay type ideas or the cargo idea here. Those seem like they'd be appreciated here. A women's section on menus seems interesting, too, I guess for women whom really do eat small portions. As far as jobs: equal pay for equal work is finally getting more attention here.

[@komori841]

Wow ^^ Pedsay ----! So happy to receive it !! I have noticed that you pushed "Like" already !! So thanks for your support as always !

[@komori841]

Thanks, I don't know if there are woman's only dance club. I love the singer like Kiroro ( especially beautiful Lyrics in Japanese ) and Miki Imai ( beautiful voice) . As for k-pop I like TouhouShinki do you know?

[@Genesis29039]

Komori san!! you are so sweet and Kind !! Thank you for taking time to talk to us about Japan ^_^.. You have a new subscriber (Girl ^^) from the Dominican Republic. I hope to keep watching you :) GOd Bless you ♥

[@komori841]

Good story ! Thanks so much for sharing it! You do have nice friend, who share wonderful Japanese hot news ^^ Even Japanese man, sometime entere woman's only cargo and could not noticed for a while!

[@komori841]

Lovely message, thanks so much ! I always want to share what seems to be unique to Japan. Not to try forces on only good thing ^^

[@komori841]

Thanks you seem you know very well about Japan. Unfortunately I don't know if Amaterasu-Omikami relate to these woman's only service. Surprised to know that Sweden have all womens week! Thanks so much for sharing!

[@TheBioBizket]

I feel the women only products and services are great. There really isn't much of that here where I live. Thanks for the videos! I'm off to check out your website now. Take care! ;)

[@TheJJJustinWoodworth]

Excellent english and good speaker and good videos!

[@komori841]

Thanks ! I am now relived to hear that this theme also could be enjoyed ^^

[@TrashTVOfficial]

Wow this was very interesting! I love finding out more about Japan, I hope to move there one day! :)

[@Lalla8616]

Thank you so much for replay , arigatou gozaimasu ! I really enjoy all your videos どういたしまして !!! Mata ne ^_^

[@Kromaatikse]

The seasons and the weather seem to work differently in Japan. As well as winter, spring, etc. you seem to have rainy season, typhoon season, and possibly others too. Maybe that would be an interesting theme in itself?

[@sweetfeat1]

I just realized something kind of funny. Your English Is 100% understandable.. I've been listening away for the whole 8 mins and understood everything you were trying to explain. But If I listen word - by word, it dosn't make much sense. You're accent is great too... I guess as long as the language works (I can comprehend what youre saying) it's all the same! good job!

[@rambomarine7411]

Another great video! I am not a girl, but in the school I go to, there are alot of classes that only girls can join... There was a class for only boys could go to which was boy's choir... I like this video, now I know more about Japan. I cannot wait for the next video Komori, thank you so much for this great video! :D

[@dianag8481]

I didn't know any of this information, and yet as soon as I saw the video title, immediately answered YES. xD oh, and I just found you, you're very lovely. :)

[@rosmankl2009]

im going to japan in november..this is my first visit to japan thankyou for the information.

[@magdalene74]

its called context and the fact that she closed captioned her own vid ;) Very considerate of her.

[@zeakamaru]

Thank you for sharing all these information, I like to learn about current culture in Japan :D and you are cute! :D

[@kengreg01]

Good topic as always, in every video I can understand a little bit more the japanese thinking way, I hope I could fix on the japanese society the next year...

[@komori841]

Helle gahyuk! That's soooo interesting information! I have never knew that ! In Japan there are nor parking area for woman, but it seems that skill issue ? is same as your country ^^ Thanks for sharing korea woman's only!

[@Arkamov91]

In France there are social services which help women in difficulties or in troubles since a long time. I don't know companies which promote its activities about women's well being as in Japan but there are some places where women have an advantage : Night clubs, bars, some stores etc..

[@rudiahellmie9816]

Hello, Komori-san! I liked to watch this video. I have a question though. How women were treated earlier in Japan? I mean... like in Meiji-era or earlier? Just curious. :D Thanks for making these videos and thanks for answering when you can :3 -- Rudia

[@ginojap]

1:28" ...."women don't want to eat a chunk of meat..." Mmmm this is strange, in my humble experience I found out that Japanese women want to eat big chunks of meat.....

[@ginojap]

***** Are you sure? How do you know what she is thinking?

[@Yeoriollayo]

+ginojap So that's why they find Western men interesting

[@devonmedevil93]

I don't live in Bangkok but i have seen it happened when I traveled there with my family and that was the last time we went to Bangkok

[@komori841]

Thanks for leaving your kind comment ;D

[@Hitakari]

It's very interesting what you have in Japan. I know about women day in Russian, or Amarica, but that's all. It's interesting, that in Japan woman had so little rites, but Now, she can do things for herself. I think it's nice. :)

[@lafemmeswizzle]

I would love a video on Japanese fashion. I noticed mostly women wore very muted tones, no bold colours and men wore black and white to work. almost like a uniform!I also realised that the school girl look was in fashion

[@whitedove52355]

Arigato gozaimasu! I never knew that about the train. I found this interesting and very different from my country.

[@Nangel2]

Hello Komori-san! I just wanted to ask how common it is for women to work after marriage? I heard it's still very uncommon, and that women aren't supposed to be too ambitious, or too straight-forward when they speak to men, because it's not considered feminine. I've also heard that it's very difficult for women to become leaders in companies and such. Is this correct? Because I've always been interested in Japan, but I don't want to be a housewife *concerned*

[@komori841]

Did you read that ? I am sooooo happy ^^ that you are thinking same way .

[@komori841]

Great message. And it seem you know very well about Japanese social issue.Even I wrote lots benefits of woman, the things you wrote are unfortunately the fact.. However, gradually the situation have changed, one day we will see actual fairness in Japan.

[@MsHyde1]

She gave ONE example of an discount and yes, discounts help. The huge cinema in my city had a discount day for students and the whole thing was absolutely packed everytime. The other examples she gave were services catering to women. You don't seem to realise that most services focused on men before because they had the money. Now those services are still there and ADDITIONALLY they have services that cater to women. Sounds like a good business idea.

[@komori841]

Your message is very interesting.. Even we develop many technology, Man's strength is always needed by woman. I think man also tend to have strong and gentle spilt to hold woman ;D

[@jmswyat]

I like listening to you. you are very helpful.

[@komori841]

Thanks!

[@DeeDeeJayAre]

こにちわこもり！I live in the United States and we don't have that here at all! I find this very interesting and if we were to have the same thing here I feel there would be many upset people because many would think it's unfair. I was wondering, how do the men in Japan feel about this? I really enjoy your videos! ありがとございます！

[@Arkamov91]

Very interesting subject komori San !

[@spamy97]

In England at least, you can buy pens or razors made for women, although they tend to be many times more expensive than the standard products. The only difference it usually the colour. I've heard a few women prefer male razors too because they shave closer.

[@PrincesseKes]

Yes we have both in France too. Also for spas and all the "relaxation parlours". Also special girls only night in clubs and trips. But it's not so much about being ashamed in front of men" part more then the "girls should cling together and have complicity".

[@komori841]

Thanks! For your very nice question. The woman tend to quit job, if she have baby, because there are not so much social infrastructure to continue both work and raising children. However, gradually the government try to improve the situation. Second question is also interesting, Japanese woman very recently tend to be "straight-forward" because we start to get status, however, as you point it out, we can hardly be leader and its so big issue in Japan. Thanks so much for deep interest in Japan!

[@kengreg01]

Alrready saw your website, good objectives for your web and dreams. I am thinking to do something similar as soon as I start living in Japan (I dream...)

[@jdtaylor1977]

do they have all women dance clubs . plus do you like to go out dancing ? what kind of music do to like . there is a j pop group i love called "m-flo " have you heard of them if so do you like them ? Or who do you like i really like j-pop and k-pop . please let me know what things you like in music.

[@Storm4155]

This trend is happening in the West too: women are marrying later, they have career and MONEY. In my country(New Zealand) girls do better at school and about 60% of people at university now are women. So in the future maybe women will be in charge, we have already had two female Prime Ministers. However in business, there are still very few women who are CEOs, or on company boards. Some countries like Norway have introduced a quota-----in Norway company boards must comprise at least 40% women. I think Japan is quite unique in the number of different services for women, as you have mentioned, maybe I should start a business catering to women, I will get rich. Thank you for your videos Komori-san, you are teaching us things we can't learn from a book.

[@pekinobo]

An interresting video Komiro san. Does this has something to do with Amaterasu-ōmikami and that women get these opportunities and showing respect for the women.? Here in Sweden we have something that is called All womens week. It´s for an entire week all female name days in the calendar. Thats the only thing I can remember. Oh, we also have women goes in free on clubs to dance etc while men/guys has to pay ^_^ . A interresting and great video again from you. Have a wonderful October dress warm

[@devonmedevil93]

Komori-san I would like to ask you is Japan safe to live in? What i meant is that i wouldn't have to worry a stray bullet coming straight to my head every time I walk around the streets in Tokyo. The reason i ask this is because I want to further my study in Japan and I am worried for my safety in order for me to live there and do i have to worry about getting mugged while going to the groceries stores. No offense but these things do happen in Bangkok, Thailand.

[@velandra4]

Can you make a video on Host Clubs? Have you ever been to one? What is the general opinion of Japanese women about these kind of clubs?

[@kawazu874]

A french girl who lives in Japan wrote an article i'm reading right now. It talks about many things, but it notices something quite rare in France, sexual harassment, this is something condemned by law and is quite well applied here. Perhaps this is one of the explanations we don't need to separate women from men (i don't talk about other problems here as this is not the subject, if you need the url and a translation of the article, don't hesitate to ask, i'll ganbarimasu ^_^ )

[@komori841]

I see, thanks for share it ;D

[@MrAzuzu]

I like your smile :P thanks for nice info!

[@komori841]

コメントを見ていますととてもレアなのだと思いますね。出来た時は日本でも随分論争に鳴りましたものね。コメントありがとうございます！

[@vitussano4675]

Yeah,got your website. And I would like to know more about japan,in the next video. Arigatho.

[@komori841]

I see , its reasonable ^^ Fitness and club are also exist in Japan.

[@graupj]

Nice! I love your videos! Jau

[@yukiyama87]

As a guy, I don't mind that women get special treatment. What does bother me is when women expect to be treated equally, and at the same time expect special treatment. Then again that might not be a big issue in Japan,,

[@tabletalk33]

+yukiyama87 Contradictory, isn't it?

[@ciumpalaku]

+tabletalk33 not to a woman's mind..

[@komori841]

Oh! Is there ? Man's only sounds unique, in Japan. But for fitness it so nice service, woman sometime be shamed to to have sweats　infront of man. Thanks for sharing such an informative thing!

[@MsHyde1]

I love the idea of momen's only menu. I often can't finish my dinner at a restaurant because the servings are too big so it would be only fair to at least have the opportunity to pay less and get less food. I hate having to leave some on the plate, knowing that it will be thrown away. Sometimes I order a children's menu but some restaurants don't serve that to adults. :( In Germany we have women's only parking decks for safety reasons. This is the only thing that came to my mind.

[@komori841]

Thanks! So happy ^^

[@Universalman002]

In the US they have some girls only school and also in some night clubs you have ladies night where women don't pay for drinks!

[@Universalman002]

***** God Bless America !

[@tabletalk33]

+Universalman002 Enjoy it while you can ladies because MGTOW is coming to a town near you and then there won't be anybody to pay for your drinks.

[@RafaellaCampanelli]

Here in Brazil the government tried to put wagon trains for women, but the most part of the women don't like of it. Because we want equality and respect in the public transport in Brazil, and this include use the same wagon... I LOVE YOUT CHANNEL!!! PS: Sorry my poor english!!

[@Yeoriollayo]

+Rafaella Campanelli I think it's a great idea and liked it in Japan (didn't use it that much, though). I guess if equality and respect aren't there, it's almost impossible to achieve both within the population's mind. If you try to force equality (one wagon), you won't get enough respect. If you try to force respect (women's wagon), you won't have equality. At least I'm assuming these points from your cultural background and problem. Unfortunately, it's very hard to change minds of a whole population in a reasonable time

[@tabletalk33]

+Rafaella Campanelli More likely, the women wanted to retain the right to attract the attention of MEN, up close, and personal.

[@ciumpalaku]

+Rafaella Campanelli of course they (women) didn't like it! Without the example of men entering the wagon they couldn't figure out were the entrance is! (this was humor :)

[@thelifewedo]

very interesting

[@komori841]

In japan it used to be said " Woman should walk 3 step back from man" And even now some elderly have that opinion. Woman take it as the virtue of modesty and someone love to be behind her husband. However, now double income will benefit more to family and woman start to walk side by side .. ;D

[@komori841]

日本語とても上手ですね、ありがとうございます。マレーシアにもあるんですね。驚きました　＾＾

[@Lalla8616]

thank you very much for your videos ! You are awesome ^^_^^ !!

[@lorenzo6320]

first!!! awesome speech

[@TheLadyEri]

well, It sounds like there are alot of options for single women travelers in Japan! Very nice to know, I bet it helps with safety.

[@sandysandy967]

Bt still have question do womens condition is bad still plz reply.

[@ViolentLucius]

Konbanwa Komori san, I think that's what I love the most about Japan. The Japanese economy pretty much takes care of everything there. They're so cautious about their country, their people. And I've read many times that a woman is behind every man's success, and in Japan she has more of a priority than a man. And I believe or that I've seen particularly that a woman can change a man completely and his behaviour as well.

[@komori841]

Great ! So happy to get a new subscriber !! I ma so happy to know that you are interesting in Japan ! Genesis29030 ^^ Thanks soooo much for your greeting from Japan ^^

[@cupwithhandles]

I don't know if Japan is a woman's paradise, but wherever this woman is, is my paradise.

[@komori841]

Hope you will enjoy ;D

[@coreycuisine]

Very interesting look at the Japanese culture from the inside. In the USA we are going through a similar trend of Female Awareness, but its more politically motivated than technologically. I think its smart how companies now sympathize with Japanese women, especially single Japanese women, and feel comfortable investing into their demographic. In the US there has always been the female specific industries such as skin care, cosmetics and hygienic products, but most products here are unisexual.

[@romanobritish]

My brothers friend from work almost went in the woman only on the train, my brother does not speak any Japanese. But he told his friend cant you read English it say's women only. His friend wasn't looking down but just going to the less crowded train car and said a couple of girls knew that his friend almost made that mistake and smiled and giggled. His friend said oh man I wasn't paying attention.

[@iletya]

japann is one of the most safe countries in the world actually... and no people arent likely to chase you with a gun (lol) infact its extremely hard to even get your hands on one... you could leave your bag in the street for 12 hours and noone would steal it you could drop your phone and someone will pick it up for you and chase you with it to give it back... stores rarely have theft sensors due to the low crime rates... the list goes on.

[@komori841]

The situation seem to be changed, as you said, it is getting harder to afford all family expenses only by father's income.

[@komori841]

Thanks so much ^^

[@kakouma10]

I heard about the train only for woman, I guess that's paradise enough, cause it offer to women a way to feel comfortable, plus it protect her and it shows how much society respect women PS; not only Japanese man do that you know.... I hope that would be in my country too

[@MsHyde1]

cont. 2: Oh and actually there is a trend of offering a regular and a smaller, cheaper serving of the menu in Germany. It's for everyone even though it is mainly used by women and that is all I am asking for. I don't want to pay for servings that are so big I can only finish half of it because the portions are supposed to make a hungy, average guy or an unusually big women happy. So yeah, I get what I want for less, if you like it or not. I don't want a women's menu, I want a not-dude-sized one.

[@Alprazolam]

The US has the Equal Opportunity Employment Act so men and women get paid the same and have the same opportunities. In bars in the US we have ladies night where ladies drinks are 60% off. Or ladies drink free nights. Certain cosmetic and clothing stores will have Ladies Fashion's Night Out where the prices are discounted significantly for ladies. Shiseido does these ladies promotions. Shiseido has become very popular in the US.

[@HikikomoriDev]

I think it is great that there are female services... as a man I don't think seeing a train for women would anger me or disappoint me... If they wish of a woman only train, its completely fine... It doesn't slow either side of the gender down to go to their destinations anyway..

[@SashikuChan]

I might be heading to japan in a year as an exchange student. Seems like it will be fun. :)

[@dannymade2142]

You are really polite and well mannered like most Japanese people are. =)

[@komori841]

Thanks for sharing Sweden story! As for food, yes, it should also served to man as well ;D

[@GuidingSlasher]

We in the Netherlands have ladies night in cinemas. Usually there are no men going to the cinema that night, but my grandfather went thee without knowing that it was ladies night. I think he didn't regret it haha

[@GoDjayXX]

if i remember correctly the women only train was partly inspired to protect Japanese women from getting sexually assaulted while on the train ride during busy hours.

[@rn1731]

Japanese woman eat more than American man. I saw this many times. So desu ne.

[@nepye3247]

I think Japanese culture have advance so much that they are in a very state of high development cultural economical socio political for me japan is the most development nation in the planet, to understand this you have to have a well educated high developmental sociocultural mind, what a confortable an amazing it is to find out that japan have a such a dedicated service for woman who wouldn't want to treat their mother, wife or sister to such as dedicated services like the one in japan, i hope other nation learn from this ancient almost to the point of perfection that is japan

[@schorriemorrie_04]

I'm not sure, but I think she just suggested Sony should move into the vibrator business. But I agree, Japan is a woman's paradise. Because Japanese women are easily the most beautiful in the world. Anyway, keep up the good work komori-san, I especially love your English.

[@gabrielamorales5196]

I definitely have to visit Japan one day! :)

[@romanobritish]

They have those here in the U.S women only apartments and there are some with men only. There used to be allot what I herd from the 1800's to about the 1980's but they are still around you have to look for them. there are also Women Only fitness clubs or Gym's but I find it OK.
