[@tenkin5105]

It's a shame you're not more popular: I feel that so many people have an idealistic conception of Japan and wish to go live there not knowing the dark sides. Your channel allows people to be more down to earth and forge a more realistic love for the country.

@@DK-210 Yeah, AiJ has only adressed its overly positive depiction last year... Besides, Chris has done mostly everything there and there isn't much to present anymore.

[@ALLKASDLLS-mg4lu]

I think it's important to inform people of the reality, but I feel that many people are stereotyping Japan in a bad way because they have seen too many such videos on social media recently. For example, there are people who have ridiculous prejudices, like all Japanese are isolated and have no lovers, so they rent lovers and work +16 hours a day, and all women are prostitutes and all men are p3d0.

[@theGENIUSofART-understood]

so true

[@donsergio2406]

13:15 "Love is a temporary emotion, or misunderstanding" Very truthful words, sensei Meshida 🙂

[@AlinJapan]

I've lived in Japan for 30+ years, and I'd say that Meshida-San's comedy dives deeper than many comedians and journalists to find insights or small pearls of truth about Japanese culture. Plus, one of the comedy books on his shelf is Monty Python's Flying Circus. Say no more! Nudge nudge!

Thank you for injecting humor into these real issues. I honestly was starting to dislike Japanese culture from learning about these things, but I mean, the whole world has issues that are just as weird or worse. So thank you for uniting us through humor.

[@Funkensturme]

Meshida, speaking about Japan alternative cultures, I ask you again to do a video about Akihabara, Maid Cafes and compensated dating (Joshi Kosei). I would really love to see your take on these subjects.

[@chriscooper654]

Wow, great rapid-fire explanation of so many subcultures! The exploration of love marriage versus arranged marriage is interesting. I've heard many times, from friends who have married successfully and unsuccessfully, that love is in fact temporary, and maintaining a marriage has to go far beyond that initial passion.

[@liteasura6111]

The list sure is big. I do agree with most of the point, and they also apply to America as well. It was good to meet Meshida-san in his comedy and charity show.

[@CrapKerouac]

There's no way you're going to be invited to the 記者クラブ (kisha kurabu or reporters' club) if you keep giving away all of Japan's secrets, Meshida san.

[@armartin0003]

You say that Europe is worse than Japan at cheating, but most Japanese people don't consider visiting a host/hostess or prostitute as cheating. They consider it health service.

The ony thing which suprised me the most about Japan is your hook up culture. I'm not someone who sleeps around at all, but I was quite shocked from certain stories and experiences. I never fell for the 'EVERYONE is shy' stereotype but I wouldn't have imagined like I said some of the things I read or heard from people. It kinda makes sense that If you got a culture where showing affection towards one another is more, Idk how to put it, 'structured' with rules and unspoke laws, that certain feelings just 'boil ower' in other ways. BDSM, infidelity and sleeping with certain types of people in order to check a point on the bucket list. It's just wild 😂 But still, very interesting people and country in general !

[@topsuperseven7910]

As a western Foreigner who's lived and worked with Japanese I can *confirm in a sense that 'confirm' means I am confirming Japanese are all into wacky subculture secret-society, insider, complex or wtf relationship stuff that we can can only 'apprehend' but will never be able to 'comprehend'. Please believe Comedian Meshida. I say this as a rare foreigner who happens to fit, gel and integrate into their world better than most (but I'm considered strange in my home country) and most of the time I metaphorically 'Tap Out' as soon as I can sense they're doing some 'japanesing culture stuff'. Personally, my brain cannot take it anyway, I just let them carry on.

[@Wokenomics_PhD]

[@ayanokoji888]

[@Pericalypsis]

Regarding the 80-50 problem, hikikomori could redeem themselves by becoming carers for their elderly parents. I think this could be the plot of a good film, directed by Koreeda-kantoku, starring Ken-san as the hikikomori, and Meshida-san as the successful younger brother.

[@giovanniamore7532]

thats whý marriage is called "hoch-zeit" in german.. it literallý translates to "high-time" 😄😆🤣

[@allanlees299]

I must be one of the few Westerners who's never visited Japan because my impression of the country is that it is under so much psycho-social stress that nearly everyone is unhappy all the time. Of course, plenty of Western nations are also very dysfunctional - the USA being Number One in this regard - but it seems as if Japan experiences the worst of every possible permutation. Although you try to present your stories somewhat tongue-in-cheek, the underlying messages are frequently heartbreaking.

[@mikiohirata9627]

You can swim through it if you are able to put aside all gilts that you are ingrained in your system. Only unfeeling and non sympathetic psychotic type will be happy for practicing this seemingly immoral behavior. But that becomes acceptable in culture like Japan.

[@rejectwokeness1314]

Ken san should go for omiai marriage. He's so shy and weird but I'm sure if girls get to know his character and intelligence they'll fall head over heels in love with him 😂

[@SIG442]

I am from the Netherlands, this 'free love industry' can go Fk itself. I am not participating in that. Loyalty should be absolute number 1 in a relationship closely followed by communication between both partners. I think this arranged wedding thing is more and more accurate, it may seem vile to do but both will at least try hard in favor of their families. Unlike the bs going on in the western world where women think they can do whatever they want.

[@Notme-tq4xs]

You sound like you have learned what's wrong with western culture today.

[@tulkipper3555]

Isn't marriage considered by western F-menace as slavery.

[@Hay8137g]

[@armorbearer9702]

I can see why omiai marriages have lower divorce rates than love marriages. It is probably easier to open up to the other person during the dating process. You know the other person is serious about marriage and is a decent person. In Gokon, everyone has to put on their tatemae, and some may only be attending the group date to support their friend.

[@richestgal9292]

Hello from Philippines

[@ceresbane]

My main take away is, the few that manage to get married and have the ability to speak english know to leave Japan to have children. Because the current societal climate favours elderly care over support for struggling parents. Those left over who can't see a future outside the country. Just kinda give up and not bother and just muddle through. Because its currently too difficult to survive single let alone feeding the mouths of two and extra on the way.

[@Hispandinavian]

Another KZbin channel I follow is Japan's Dark Side. He really gives the lowdown on the shady underside of the Japanese world. This winter I'm finally going to Japan for the first time ever.

Hosugurui is kind of amazing, isn't it? Women that love men so much(Hosts who literally couldn't care less about them) that they go into prostitution for their sake...In our society in the West is such a thing even possible? (with feminism, independent women, etc) Most of the time something desperate like that would be reserved for family only, I think, like an emergency crisis like a family member needs a heart transplant! Not just for some random hot guy! Hell, in the case of Itadaki-joshi Riri-Chan the girl in question is extremely cute! Why do they need to simp for dudes!? It's usually the reverse abroad! 🤣 That being said, I'm a lonely,ugly and short guy, I can't honestly say I wouldn't blow all my money on a girl if I thought she was interested even if it was just a monetary transaction and an act...I guess in the end we're all just really lonely. 😅

[@mikiohirata9627]

Hosgurui is possible in Japan because for centuries Japan allowed men to visit brothels /tea houses then change of back ground from feudal to modern except men going to establishments for female company which is accepted as default. It doesn't matter if these mean are single or married. Then women's liberation (at least in idea) became fashionable so WHY NOT suddenly light came on for women to start visiting Host clubs just as men have been doing for centuries. Japanese don't practice religions like in Christian/Muslim rules of chastity so it's inevitable that it would lead to such destructive behavior.
