Moving to Japan! My Journey Joining the JET Programme | Art + Storytime

[@CanaanWorld_2]

The application process reminds me VERY much like the process of getting into veterinary school. I just got accepted and can relate to everything Star was saying (even crying finding out I got accepted). I know it’s years too late but congratulations Star on getting in to the JET program!!

neat - I did the JET program and lived in Japan from 2014 to 2019 in Fukushima - I loved my time in Japan - but super glad I didn't get a big city, being in a tiny town was super fun and I basically got to know everyone - Curious to hear why you left after 2 years

[@CozyCabbit]

I actually applied for JET during my senior year of college. The application process was incredible tedious and I only made it to the waiting list after the interview at the local consulate. I never got moved up, but with my current job I was able to go back to Japan for a week to visit my friend who is currently in JET. 💕 I don't think I could do JET after experiencing the process, but I'm glad I made an attempt at it.

I hope to move to Japan for work purposes one day, so it's interesting to hear your story with this topic, Star!🌟

[@swisdom9117]

I didn’t expect to sit through this whole video but your storytelling abilities are so good. I felt like I was there with you the whole time. I’m going to try applying for the program this year so I’m preparing myself from now!

[@Rocketdog299]

It's so fascinating to hear how your time in Japan started out! Me and a number of friends are also planning to visit Japan sometime during our lives, though this will most likely happen quite a few years into the future. Moreover, we certainly aren't planning on joining the JET-programme, since we have no teaching experience whatsoever, but judging from the way it all started for you, it seems like you had lots of fun =) . In the short time that I have been subscribed to you, you have quickly risin through the ranks to become one of my favourite storytime KZbinrs, and this video was no exception. Just seeing a new video from you on my feed made my day better. Keep up the good work, Star! I hope you are doing great😄!

[@quizcastle]

Call that JET lag- …I will see myself out

[@tsakeboya]

I'm excited to hear about your experience with the language

[@gkof23]

Shout out to all the people getting pregnant so StarFish could put food on the table during layoff Also 9:10 this might actually helps me stop struggling when drawing fingers

[@xalasor]

I recently discovered you when i was researching on starting a webcomic and I got to say I love your content, I even just happen to be able to afford a few things from your shop and you best believe I bought your book and I'm excited for my items to arrive.

[@MADMadisson]

I first lived in China for 3 ish years. I figured I was close enough to Japan, so went for it as well. I found a nice job above Kagoshima (southern bit of Japan). Also stayed there for 3 ish years. Many foreigners I met there also were on the JET program. Good times. (I DO NOT miss the yearly two day travels to visit home. I DO miss the quality food and amazing toilets.) I've been a nomad for a large chunk of my life. Moving is still the most stressful thing... Once I unpack it's always the best feeling of success! I guess also glad it's all finally over haha

[@Katzka2]

Am i the only one that sees the comment says it got commented 6days ago?

[@Nidhiflix]

@@Katzka2 That is what I'm saying!

[@MADMadisson]

@@Katzka2 I'm a time traveler.

[@thedraftingax5963]

Awesome! I’m moving and living in Japan in a couple years, after I graduate from college since I’ll be graduating from my high school this Thursday, but that won’t stop me from becoming a new hololive vtuber girl later this year when I’m in college while I head on down to the Hololive of America headquarters and register there!

[@shinohai5781]

JET would be my first choice for working in Japan. Interac works if you have some basic understanding of Japanese language and culture (one to two years of Japanese from college). Just have to be willing to work with kids and teachers. Less vacation time made visiting locations tricky. My experience from 2015

[@tobiasboyd1199]

Really cool to hear your experience with this, and looking forward to the rest of the series whenever you end up posting them!

[@sevenseas4520]

Congrats on getting in! I’m also heading to Japan in August with JET! 🇨🇦 ALT You had a waiting room coordinator?! When I arrived for my interview, it was just me, another interviewee, and the security lady in the room (a very no-nonsense lady, I like her)

[@animechan-ub9wt]

Witch Hat Atelier Yay!!😁

[@blackroseknight77]

this storytime video entertained my core being

[@Kelso_Belso]

Honestly from some videos ive seen I would love to visit Japan, not sure about living until I can visit though. Seems like a neat place

[@Kloudichu]

Good luck!!

[@ReassuringSmile]

i got accepted into JET and was suppose to start summer 2022 in Kyoto (very nice placement), but I had to withdraw, they weren't happy about it. I got accepted into a Physician Assistant program, which I worked hard to get into and acceptance rates aren't high, same as med school rates. I thought about it hard, but the obvious and best the PA program. I enjoyed studying abroad in Tokyo when I an undergrad, I want to go back to Japan

[@disparoz]

did you have any teaching certificates when applying? what reasons do you think you got accepted?

[@ReassuringSmile]

@@disparoz I had tefl cert. I'm also jlpt 3, I had a near 4.0 GPA during my undergrad

[@notartistdrawz6108]

ok so funny story i was watching this and i was like, "hey that looks like witch hat atelier" and then i looked down and saw that is was, a few days ago i got the first and second from the library, but they had the whole rest of the series. then went i went to drop them off and get the other books a few days later, and they were COMPLETELY GONE D,: but ya super good books i love them also your art is soooo cutteeeeeeee keep up the awesome work!!

[@jaqhass]

[@Nov-Alle]

Ayy, storytime with star! Hope Japan moving isn't bad.(though I doubt it.

[@kib.m]

Heya! Sorry for not participating for a while! I was busy.

[@supernovablade]

Interesting! Also, it really made me smile hearing the Ya Boy Kongming opening in music box form in the background of this video. Also, I found 14:14 way funnier than I should have.

[@pickledshoe]

Bidets are so nice and darn I wish we had water fall noise in the bathroom

[@angel_foodcake]

[@TotallyHuman-]

The anxiety pinball sound gave me anxiety just because that used to be my alarm sound.

[@bobfranklin2572]

"Or maybe the aircon just wasn't turned on that day" Literally. WHY do they do this 😭

[@NitwitsWorld]

Hope you doing good in Japan wish I could be there but don’t have money at the moment

[@themraceofspades1000]

[@Smashachu]

This was my dream job growing up as a 13 year old kid. I used to be obsessed with gimmeaflakeman as he toured around japan vlogging awkwardly.

[@Frickll]

That all sounds so nice! I’d love to live in another country.

[@pyeitme508]

[@erisRED_05]

[@knightroartz3846]

[@CuteCosmo]

[@marcimartin6599]

How long are you staying

[@Tooniclesplays]

I rlly like your vids and Japan is my dream vacation 😄 Edit: also here is a joke sand is called sand because it’s between the sea and land GET IT

[@moonmama2481]

OLRUGGIO ??? QIFREYYY???? BLESS.

[@bobfranklin2572]

Man i wish i liked anime, ide be way better at Japanese 😅

[@NewGuy478]

Is Anime halal, anime is something that is adictive you can call it adictive and every anime has the same story, lets talk a bout Naruto Uzumako, Naruto Uzumaki is anime a bout life of these ninjas and every season is the same and it can be haram to watch if there are haram parts or if it moves you away from prayer so in the end if you watch it and if it does not distract you it is halal

[@Aaa-vp6ug]

I’m having trouble understanding what this means.
