I've got some friends who want to live in Japan. I think anime,manga,dorama etc have influenced them too much.Different people may have different reasons to come and live in Japan.Some have always been dreaming about living in Japan since they were young.

When did you first think about living in Japan?
What makes you want to live in Japan?
Have manga/anime/dorama/documentary influenced you to live in Japan?
Do you think it's possible for you to live in Japan?
Which city in Japan do you want to live?
What kind of jobs will you do if you have the chance to live in Japan?
Do you see yourself in Japan in the future?
Do you really want to live in Japan?

You will be stressed to death while living in japan... that place is too damn expansive to live.

I want to go to Japan in a "study abroad" program......I just want to learn Japanese...to be able to understand it and converse with Japanese people informally....be kinda fluent...


other than that I don't watch Japanese Cartoons, Listen to J-music, watch J-tv stuff.....only things I see are a few movies every now and then....


and I am interested in Japanese culture...the same way I'm interested in pretty much any culture anyways...

hmm..once i master the language...i wanna try living there for a while. and yes, when i can afford it. lol

Yeah, I am interested in Japanese culture and I've given thought about going to Japan too.But Japan is not so diverse like UK,US,Aust,Canada etc.

it may not be a great as everyone thinks. the cost of living there is so expensive, EXtremely crowded, and not speaking the language and living there is a huge disadvantage

hmmm i probably want to live there for them japanese girls. Other than that, Japan is a killer....rent for tokyo is enormous, limited decent jobs, exxxxxxpensive stuff there.

I want to live there for a bit, and head off to China then back to Vietnam.

wasn't there a thread like this b4? I would want to go to japan to sleep in one of those capsule hotels and see if i get claustrophobic.

When did you first think about living in Japan?
- I thought about visiting since 2002

What makes you want to live in Japan?
- Wanting to be fluent in Japanese.

Have manga/anime/dorama/documentary influenced you to live in Japan?
- Not exactly.

Do you think it's possible for you to live in Japan?
- No, I do not want to give up my identity

Which city in Japan do you want to live?
- Tokyo

What kind of jobs will you do if you have the chance to live in Japan?
- Work at a place where lots of Americans or people who speak english go to

Do you see yourself in Japan in the future?
- Next month

Do you really want to live in Japan?
- No, but I want to stay on a '3 year visit'

and being an Asian isnt going to help either.

I want to live in Japan too!!!....

Precisely.
Even half Japanese aren't accepted there.

Seems like there's a majority of people interested in the Japanese culture. A friend of mine wants to learn japanese and she's not asian but I guess it's not an exception. I just wanna go to Japan for a couple of weeks or so when I'm older, I wanna see what's it like and hey, if I'm lucky, maybe get a Japanese girlfriend XD

Don't we all?

I wanna live there too for a short peroid of time, like a year or two. But I'm more interested in the culture and lifestyle.

ive always thought about it, like especially during high school
it just looks really nice and i think the culture is great, unique too
no, i dont watch dat kinda crap, manga anime stuff looks pretty nerdy to me. ive never really been interested in those kinda stuff
yeah i guess its possible, hopefully
i dont mind what city, anywhere is fine where its really nice and cool
if i lived in japan i would like to do art and illustrate, also would be cool to do music there maybe
yeah, i see myself in japan, in the future, if not, at least visiting
yes i really pretty much want to live there.

actually i have japanese relatives there cuz of a relative who was married to one, they had two children, they divorced last year, which kinda sucks. my cousin lives in america now, and his wife and children still live in japan, i felt really bad for him, cuz she like cheated on him and got another husband without him knowing. i wanna marry a japanese woman and hopefully something like that wont happen. im not a japanese freak or anything. im not a anime freak either. i just love the culture and the people and everything. o yeah, ive been studying the language for 4 years now, i wanna get better at it too. not that good cuz my class isnt very productive, nothing really goes on, and theres been a lot of subbing last time like for a whole semester. didnt learn what i shouldve learned in 4 years. but i pretty much can talk it though. i think the language is beautiful too. i also love japanese women. im not perverted if you think im talking about porn, i just love japanese women cuz theyre really nice and kinda and innocent and hav manners. they also seem to be all smily and cute too. im just hoping japanese women like korean men. i dont want japanese girls that talk english only, i want like a japanese fob girl that has broken english.haha for some reason i like that a lot. i lived in LA all my life and its like rare to find japanese girls, but so easy to find koreans every where. japan would be heaven. love everything about japan. even though history kinda makes me mad sometimes, but thats a whole different subject. basically im not saying i want to go to japan for the girls, thats just one part of it. im mainly for the culture and language and everything else

I think its almost always because of their soft culture. I know a kid in high school, totally an otaku, joined the Navy I think just for an oppurtunity to go to Japan.

yeah im going there to rape a girl. how bout you?

I used to love Japan so much due to anime/manga influences.
But now I'm older, I realised that Japan is not a good place for foreigners.
It's not like other multicultural Asian countries like Indonesia,Thailand,Malaysia etc.
But if they are open to multiculturalism, Japan won't be unique anymore.

Japan is too crowded and quality of life is no good. Japanese only feel rich when they travel abord.

my girlfriend will kill me if i go to japan =.='

But why?

same with america since middle class also rules america. the only type of jobs ill be looking for are the ones overseas when i graduate. so its very likely ill be living in japan in the near future.

Tengkuafif, hope you don't insult Japanese like you insult the indonesian!

tempat pelarian ya?
maaf deh kalo aku jadi jutek!

I don't think it would be that easy to get any other jobs besides becoming an English teacher.And,some hard labour work.
But I hope I can work at my country's embassy in Japan.






P/S:Aku takkan tiba-tiba insult orang lain kalau tidak ada orang lain insult aku.

for the name of indonesian chatters i wanna say sorry!
but you insult us more often..
ok..let stop this.
i have said sorry to you..
would you please ask for apology for you indonesian fellows?? will you??


neways Japan is a really cool country...i'm trying to get scholarship to be able to study there next year..

NO!

When did you first think about living in Japan?
A long time ago, when I was a kid.

What makes you want to live in Japan?
I have relatives there......pretty much used to it.

Have manga/anime/dorama/documentary influenced you to live in Japan?
No, I'm not retarded

Do you think it's possible for you to live in Japan?
Yes

Which city in Japan do you want to live?
Tokyo

What kind of jobs will you do if you have the chance to live in Japan?
Either the same thing I do now or try and get a job with Sony

Do you see yourself in Japan in the future?
For a period of time or at least having my own place there to retreat to

Do you really want to live in Japan?
Wouldnt mind it but I'd be perfectly happy with just a second home there.

^I would love to work for Sony or some big @$$ Japanese company too, but you must need to speak and write Japanese fluently.

Its worth it if only for the free stuff........we have so much Sony stuff in our house

^For free?

I was looking for vacancies on the Sony website and you MUST know Japanese, even the ones based in Europe. My other dream will be working for games or animation company in Japan, but I don't think that'll ever happen.

Some free some discounted, most of it is free though

Wouldnt be that hard for you to learn though
You dont need it for all the positions anyway, depends what you want to do.

^Yeah like cleaning toilets and stuff in the office.

Those in the financial sectors and localisation testers but localisation testers speak another language anyway.
Actually I dont think most do unless their departments or their role requires them to work with the Japanese team.

^Doesn't sound very interesting.
But you're right I don't think it's such a problem. I never tried learning Japanese for proper but I think I can pick it up quite easily.

BTW do you speak the Japanese?

You'll pick up the characters easily enough, just need to learn the vocab.

Aye

I'm starving..........meh.......gonna go to bed before I start to notice my stomach eating itself

is it that expensive?
can you give me example?
lets say for a day, at least how much mone we should spend?

fucccck u all!!!!!!

damn if you travel to japan i think its gonna eat up like 500 from your wallet a day. Things are so expensive funny it makes you think twice. It would suck if you travel there with people who dont speak japanese dont it? lol....if you dont speak japanese and travel there, what would you advise to do? anyone plan on traveling to japan with their friends anytime soon?

.......................bored.................

I would like to visit Japan and maybe study there as well.

all those pretty boys.. *faints*

im trying to resizing some stupid pics... but the program sux

Aren't pretty boys all over Asia?

japanese ducks
who wouldnt want to live in japan now ;p

but the ones found in Japan are especially exquisite.

Regular Japanese boys that you find near the street are not all attractive.
You cannot have the assumption that all Japanese boys look like those handsome cute actors,can you?



Oh,yeah. I wanna live in Japan because I want to learn how to drift.
Durifto!!!
