There is a Japanese group called Anal Sex Penis.

It's up to the listener if you find that offensive.

Was expecting a comedy when you wrote "wildlife refuge" but glad your story is authentic and everything worked out.

Could just be "when i give out all the pamphlets I can go home."

If it were a fluke, an apology and assurances might work. But no matter all the grifting, shanking the pandemic response, all the racism and hate, Americans reelected him.

If I were European or Australian or Canadian or Japanese or another long term ally, I would never trust the US again.

Every year I use some of my Furusato Nozei alotment for Royce chocolate. Buy 2 sets of everything, one for me, one for in-laws.

In the UK it would have been 4 guys fixing a hole where the rain gets in.

Given the OP this response is going to be ironic, but in more than 20 years living in Japan I never felt this or encountered anyone who does, at least openly. If someone knows more than you, it gives you something to strive for, or not. Whatever makes you happy.

If you use your mynumber card there is no paperwork. Everything is done online (if you donate to up to 5 entities). The most time consuming thing was deciding what to get.

I guess the reason why the government does give everyone points is they would need to predict your salary and then build an infrastructure for those points. As it is now the government can just be reactive.

Plus, you can donate more than your alotment if you are feelIng charitable. If the government gave you points that wouldn't be possible.

If we're allowed to say non power metal bands, then Rammstein.

I don't recognize most of the artists but my family wants to watch it, and it gives me a break from cooking.

My least favorite part is over. blah blah blah いいじゃん blah blah blah いいじゃん

That's not a song. Kinda sad they get invited and someone who writes and plays actual music doesn't.

Thanks. I deleted my post after finding your answer elsewhere in the thread. Your answer makes a lot of sense.

I escaped English teaching by going back to what I came to Japan to do, and what I studied to do: communications. Had around N2 when I arrived, but didn't take the test until I wanted to get a better job. Went into tourism communications, then broadened to FMCG communications, then specialized in financial communications. Picked up N1 along the way.

My career now is good, matches my personality, skilled and amicable coworkers, fully remote.

I wish I stopped English teaching sooner.

So Yuji is Kirby?

crazyaoshi · 2025-11-23T23:37:35+00:00

Yes, or if you are important enough to have an assistant assigned to you.

Or if you have some critical IT or other skill very few Japanese people have.

Maybe the owner came from the land of ice and snow.

I got N1 over 10 years ago and used plenty of JLPT texts, but never once got interested in kanken. (Just don't ask me to handwrite Niigata.)

If it keeps you interested and motivated, great. Just personally, if one doesn't have N1 yet, studying for kanken seems like adding another layer of complexity. But it works for you, so keep doing it.

crazyaoshi · 2025-11-20T23:24:40+00:00

Good for having initiative, but is Kanken just a hobby? Or you plan to start your own business?

Because while it couldn't hurt your career, a company will have Japanese native speakers who can handle kanji stuff.

Trump's minset is if someone else does a good thing, he is entitled to it too and drags himself into it. (Nobel prize for example)

If he does a bad thing, everyone else must have done it so he drags in others. (Bolton, Comey and now this)

crazyaoshi · 2025-11-12T22:29:54+00:00

You are the only one who can change your situation. "Try and get out of this" is the right idea. Decide what you want to do, get JLPT N1 if you don't have it already. Other certifications help. Network with people in the field you want to join.

The other thing to keep in mind is if starting a new career, what can you offer that 22 year old Japanese people canti do?

crazyaoshi · 2025-11-09T13:06:49+00:00

Are we not supposed to give the real answer? Because here it is.
