BigPPs [#2]What do you think of the radioactive waste dump on the sea
I am not a scientist so I can't give you a perfect answer, but the water coming out of Fukushima has already been treated so there is no problem.
CryoZanderDerrekEnjoyer [#4]Whats a food that everybody loves there
What do you think about india
What do you think about bottsi 🗿
1.As you probably guessed, most Japanese love sushi.
- Japan is suffering from an immensely low birthrate and aging population and needs to share India's population.
3.He is the best Indian player
Okoretro [#8]why is food so cheap there
It's not like Japan is in a financial crisis. There's no need for the food to be expensive.
(Sorry I'm not QIQ)
Okoretro [#8]why is food so cheap there
Simply put, food is cheap in Japan because incomes are low. The average income in Japan is $31,000.
danii1 [#9]It's not like Japan is in a financial crisis. There's no need for the food to be expensive.
(Sorry I'm not QIQ)
I love danii1. I think you were studying about Japan?
Diebs [#14]Is Japan really that expensive compared to other asian countries?
If so can you give an estimate of living expenses for a single person
In Japan, the amount of money you need varies greatly between the city and the countryside, but if you want to live in the city, you can live on $1000~1400. You can do it very cheaply in the country.
unsweety [#17]which female group is popular in jp，LESSERAFIM，ive，kep1er or new jeans
I went to the ive concert the other night and personally love new jeans
Maybe ive is the most popular among them? It's hard to tell xD
drownnt [#19]is valorant more of a spectator sport for japan or are there just not a lot of japanese players that grinds the game?
how do you feel about the valorant scene in japan?
In Japan, there was no custom of playing games on PC. This is because of the popularity of Nintendo and PS. Then, when fortnite became popular, the number of people playing games on PC gradually increased. So it is not surprising that it is considered a spectator sport.
Also, I would like to talk about education in Japan. Because of the above, the profession of professional gamer has not penetrated the Japanese market. Therefore, it is difficult for Japan to develop esports to the level of Korea and China.
So Japanese teams can only rely on foreign players. However, there are several academy teams in Japan, so we may be able to expect more in a few years.

thank you for the info! I guess in the future, gaming in japan as a profession would be a lot more common
ninz [#24]Whats something you recommend doing in Tokyo that a turist wont find on like...tripadvisor? (preferably suitable for kids! )
Depending on the age of your children, the Tokyo Sky Tree is quite interesting, and Tokyo Dome City Attractions is also recommended.
soonwookong [#28]are working conditions and the overwork culture getting better in Japan?
At least my father has an easy job. But a certain number of people get depressed at work, so it's an improvement over the past, but it still remains.
propulsion [#32]are there any tours available?
I don't know if it is for overseas visitors (it may be in Japanese only), but there is a tour for about 5$. However, advance reservation is required for this tour.

Sorry it took so long.
- Do you think Zeta Division has to stay on full japanese rosters?
- is it true that most people in there prefer to see Zeta on full Japanese rosters?
- who do you think would be a great fill to new Zeta rosters?
personal question
- Is it true that otaku there are seen as inferior humans?
- does japanese people think their culture as superior since many foreign loves their culture/entertainment?
- do you agree that Mushoku Tensei is peak anime/manga/LN :D
firo [#36]what do jp generally think of foreign players playing for a jp team?
I am grateful for them. Thanks to them, the Japan Region has grown so much.

The biased zeta fan wants a full Japanese roster, but the normal people want them to win, so they don't care about nationality.
I think hiroron is a good fit for zeta, but I honestly can't predict their moves at all (no leaks at all).
- it is true that in the past geeks were not thought well of... But now there is no such culture at all, so please come to Akihabara.
- I don't mean to overestimate ourselves, but I am proud of our predecessors who created the anime and manga culture, and I admire people like you who love our culture.
- I also like Mushoku Tensei, but my personal top anime is the Rascal series:)))
GeZAhri [#40]are there are lot of ghost villages/towns in the countryside cause most of the population in japan lives in cities?
It's an overstatement, but some places are like that:(
GeZAhri [#40]are there are lot of ghost villages/towns in the countryside cause most of the population in japan lives in cities?
It's a common practice in Japan that living in cities is expensive, so the countryside is used as bedroom communities.
Hard2Decipher [#39]Apparently SK and Japan are xenophobic. I've seen multiple articles where they tell how they were secluded in public places and could not fit in the local culture and people talking on it on reddit. How true is that?
I don't know about SK, but try to come to Narita or Haneda airport in Japan and talk to young Japanese people or people working there. Your suspicions will soon be confirmed and you will find that Japanese people welcome foreigners with open arms.
But old people should stop, for they often ignore even us Japanese and cut off communication with others.
AvgRossiFan [#23]Nah, the actual thing (vloggers/streamers do it)
Do you have any links to videos, etc.? I am not quite sure what you are talking about.
danii1 [#47]Also, I'm determined to learn a bit of Kanji. It's difficult but I wanna be able to read lyrics from songs and stuff.

sleeek [#44]do you prefer korean over japanese idol groups?
Japanese male idol groups are still popular, but Japanese female idol groups are not as popular as they used to be. To summarize, the popularity in Japan is as follows
JP male idol>=KR male&female idol>JP female idol
QlQ [#20]In Japan, the amount of money you need varies greatly between the city and the countryside, but if you want to live in the city, you can live on $1000~1400. You can do it very cheaply in the country.
How come Japan is so cheap as a large industrialized country? I imagine a huge city like Tokyo must be more expensive, no?
What are the average incomes?
Congo1 [#53]What do Japanese people like to do in their free time? Where do they go to hang out? What do they do?
Many people play games.
Most people go to various places in Tokyo.
They buy clothes, go to amusement parks, and do other things depending on their preferences.

It's an internet forum, right? Then it's 5ch and shitaraba!

Also I've read that in cities the rent prices varies based on how far you are living from the railway station. I guess that's fair when the biggest mode of transportation there is trains
AvgRossiFan [#66]
I don't know much about rental girlfriends, but if you can't get a girlfriend for a long time, you might want to try it. The system is quite simple: you choose a woman from a rental girlfriend site and pay her to be your girlfriend for a certain amount of time.

I recommend anime. Talking to Japanese people in Japanese is the most effective way.

i do watch alot of anime lol but with subs
i have tried watching it w/o but then i only understand 30% of what they are saying

sleeek [#64]im surprised to hear jp male idol is very popular, i guess i never hear about it because im a straight male. who are the most popular group there apart from johnny's
You are right, Johnny's is the most popular. There are many groups in Johnny's like snow man, SixTONES and so on

Japanese, like English, is very different from written and spoken language. Therefore, if you want to be able to use Japanese in your daily life, it is faster to watch youtube videos that teach Japanese than to buy teaching materials. Also, as I mentioned earlier, speaking with Japanese people is the best way to improve your Japanese.

Nahbooo [#83]Where is mayuyu now
I have checked her career and found that she has not been seen in the entertainment industry since she retired about three years ago, and there is currently a lot of speculation, but there is no confirmed information.
and also, is it viable for a 2nd year undergrad to shift to jp and continue studies there? im studying business and from what ive heard the business courses are usually in english (my 2nd language is english) but i dont know the reliability of the information. and how does it look cost-wise and can i save money after paying all my bills if i work part-time?
Bonketh00005 [#87]how popular are bands like One ok Rock, Asian KungFu Generation and Radwimps compared to other worldwide mainstream bands?
They are very popular. My mom is a big fan of One ok Rock.
canyon [#88]Is doraemon still popular in japan? Also how is the penetration of japanese cartoons like doraemon and pokemon in the general market?
Doraemon is popular as an anime now, and is watched by children from 5 to 10 years old. Pokemon is popular as both an animation and a game. Pokemon games are played by people of all ages.

Are you saying that you want to study at a Japanese university to study business?
Vianx11 [#92]demo,watashi-tsukuri takusan no machigai tokuni grammar(idk jp word for it)

To put it more simply
watashiha tokuni bunpo no machigai wo shimasu
This is more grammatically accurate.

QlQ [#5]1.As you probably guessed, most Japanese love sushi.
- Japan is suffering from an immensely low birthrate and aging population and needs to share India's population.

Are there any other than sushi?
Have u tried indian cuisine? whats ur favourite food from it?
Is indian/foreign cuisine spread in japan?

unknown_trash [#100]What areas of Japan are worth visiting? I don't know many nice places to go to even though I know it has a lot of amazing things to see.
Also how common are hot springs in Japan??
The place I recommend is Tokyo. You can do all of Japan here. There are almost certainly hot springs in the Japanese countryside.
Mylotic [#102]Has Japan alot of placas that people arent allowed to enter because they have tatto ? Like beaches and gyms
Pools and hot springs are almost inaccessible.
brdreamer [#104]I don't like fish that much and can't eat too much pasta, are there other options in JP to eat? I ask this cause I imagine that there might be Japanese people who are intolerant and there is a lot of pasta (ramen and stuff there), how does one survive?
Tempura recommended!

adilKhan [#120]This might be a bitter question, but is it true that Japanese people are racist and xenophobic towards people of colour? Of course it varies from place to place, but yeah, just curious
There are a certain number of strange people, but I think it is the same in other countries as well. Also, Japan is a yellow race.

I think you are streching it a bit too far, why not think about like a glorified tourist guide who'll show you around and is also your date
Er3ngenes1s [#130]what do u think about Roland the host? and can u also explain how he became so popular in japan despite having no true japanese roots
Huh? He is not Japanese? He is a truly amazing businessman who is very good at branding himself.
Poge [#126]Do you know of any "lazier" food/snack to make when you dont feel like cooking something proper thats popular in japan (or that you like but could be less common for foreigners). Thanks
In Japan we have something called temakizusi (hand-rolled sushi). It is like a California roll, but we roll the ingredients with nori (seaweed). It is very easy to make.
lucidity0000 [#127]How popular is vtuber culture in Japan? Like compared to kpop idol or something like that
In the past, otaku were not considered well in Japan. vtuber fans are very numerous, but they are treated in the same way as the old Japanese otaku. Because excessive vtuber otaku are blind.
KssS [#135]How did the japanese fans react to zeta potentially dropping all their players? does DFM valorant have a lot of fans over there or are they being clowned?
-
Japanese fans were very surprised about the dismissal because they thought only ten and crow would be released.
-
DFM🤡 Obviously
But seoldam is different. He was a streamer in CR for a while and gained quite a few fans during that time. So seoldam fans outnumber DFM fans.
AvgRossiFan [#133]I think you are streching it a bit too far, why not think about like a glorified tourist guide who'll show you around and is also your date

Hynix [#139]in what way am i stretching it too far?

I will tell you the facts. People who use rental girlfriends are people who can't get girlfriends, so it is no wonder that they are called losers.

That because he said "cincin" (ring in indonesian) and (penis in japanese)

People like me are rare.
abbas_where_is_the_fries [#149]A bit late but what are your thoughts on Japanse professional gaming scene right now, across all games?
(and also pls give me the address of some of the best restaurants in Japan i am planning to visit Okinawa and Sapporo the next January, might as well linger longer)
As for the games in general, fortnite and apex were very good. Not only the results, but also the player base seemed to be very strong. I am speculating, but maybe Japanese people are better suited for battle royale games.
About the games. Nintendo games are very popular in Japan. I also love Pokemon.
As for restaurant recommendations, I recommend this one in Hokkaido, although it is expensive. https://hanakoji-sawada.com/
I have never been to Okinawa so I don't know. Sorry.
denwhy [#151]a bit late, I like fate series. are fate series really popular in Japan?
Fate stay night is very popular. But I have never seen the Fate series xD

DELUSIONAL_EEYORE_FAN [#163]Are fighting games popular with the younger generation of Japan? I know fighting games were huge when arcades were very popular, but with arcades losing popularity and more PC gaming happening in Japan I was curious if younger people still care about games like street fighter or guilty gear.
I don't know what the public opinion is, but at least none of my friends (teenagers) play fighting games.
SozeL_20 [#164]why Japan likes to exploit children?
I'm not sure I understand what you mean, so may I ask you to provide an example to illustrate your point?
QlQ [#161]I have no knowledge of motorsports, but I have been to Suzuka Circuit with my father LOL
i love that track!
hunkkz [#167]Are there a large number of Brazilians in Japan? I'm asking this because Brazil is the country with the most Japanese people outside of Japan, so I wanted to know if the opposite also happens. Here in São Paulo we even have an entire Japanese city (liberdade)
There are a lot of them there. I have a friend who is Brazilian. All Brazilians are good looking. I envy them.

To be honest, I had never heard of this issue until I saw this video. I don't think it has spread to a social problem in Japan just because there is somewhat such a problem.
Tacitus [#174]Is anime real
jk
Is anime really that mainstream, that everyone has to love it because of peer pressure? talking about local Japanese youth
Anime is very popular. Don't worry at all.

Well the second reason in the video is bitter sweet I think. I'm not Japanese so I don't know if it's more prevalent in Japan than anywhere else, but kids who reach fame at a very young age can have a lot of problems later in life. Some Disney Channel actors for example

I’ve been learning a bit of Japanese the past year. I know many words and sentences (numbers, times, asking for something, directions, etc.) But Kanji has been a pain in the ass because each kanji can have a different meaning or the word itself can have different kanji. So as a native Japanese, do you still struggle with kanji or is it a basic thing to get down in childhood?
-
Ideally, would you like to see Koreans or other imports on the ZETA roster? I personally wouldn’t.

-
I learned all the kanji that I use in my daily life in my childhood. However, we still study Kanji because we learn difficult Kanji that we do not use in Japan. The reason why we study kanji is because they are used in entrance exams for high school and university.
-
I don't think it is necessary to have only Japanese roster because now we are not playing games in JP region as in the past but as PACIFIC. But realistically, it is a very difficult decision because Japanese people's English skills are so low that if we make a multinational roster, they may not be able to communicate well with each other.

youtube? twitch? or else?
If we're talking only about games... Youtube and Twitch are the two biggest
Youtube is more popular for chatting and stuff.

No, I haven't. My great-grandmother is of European descent and I have never actually been abroad. I wanted to study abroad in the U.S. during this summer vacation, but I was too busy studying for the entrance exam and didn't have time to do so.

I definitely recommend going to the US at least once. I don’t know if I would recommend living here, though. I’ve been pretty sheltered my whole life, but even I can tell things are getting chaotic. It’s kinda one of the reasons I want to live in Japan, actually. The high level of respect for others is something I wish was ingrained into US culture.
QlQ [#203]Thanks. Another interpretation of romantic comedy?
yessir but it basically focus on nichijoukei

I see. I often hear that prices are high in the US. And now that the yen is weak, I will go there when the time is better.
If you live in Japan, I can teach you a lot! Although your family seems to know a lot about it
cohnr [#202]been learning japanese along with german and irish over the past year, just wanted to ask how st patricks day been over there? Seen some stories that it has been growing in popularity within certain areas of Tokyo but not too sure on if it is just a small thing
I have not heard much about it. But it seems that Yokohama city in Kanagawa prefecture (next to tokyo) had that event. That culture doesn't seem to have taken root much.

Scar98 [#211]I'm living rn in Japan bc of studies and it's so nice, I hate the recycling thing but it's fine I guess
Sure, recycling is a hassle.
daddy_ [#214]What is up with japan’s obsession with school girls? and how bad is sexism in Japan?
Voyeurism on trains has become a social problem in Japan. Recently, efforts have been made to improve the situation, such as the installation of security cameras on trains and the creation of women-only cars.
I hope to see that kind of crap eliminated as soon as possible.
Nachtel [#217]do you or any of your friends want to queue tokyo servers with me? im so close to getting my account to level 20
It's totally fine! I would like to do it if the time is right! But my English listening skills are catastrophic...
I will practice before the day I do it with you!
Why has your culture become so overly feminine over the last century? This has happened in the west aswell, but not to the same extend and your culture always have been based on very masculine values. Discipline, fighting, honor... Japanese people used to be the most badass people in the world.
I am honestly just curious lol, what happened there?

They lost the war. Before, they were pillaging and raping east Asia and after the nukes and their surrender, Douglas McArthur supervised their new "Peace constitution".

QlQ [#206]I see. I often hear that prices are high in the US. And now that the yen is weak, I will go there when the time is better.
If you live in Japan, I can teach you a lot! Although your family seems to know a lot about it
The prices are rising for sure (ironically Dollar Tree is now charging $1.25 😂). I also noticed a small price increase in Japan as well (most crane games no longer had the 500円 for 6 tries deal 😔). I’m actually curious about the workload for students. How is it in Japan, I guess in terms of stress?
