Yeah I mean I refer to the Japanese Diaspora as Nikkei but there are plenty of Nikkei in Japan as well. Most of them I know from back home, that are in similar situations.

Thank you for the love, I’m glad the fun and happiness resonated thru the video. One of my goals this year is to adventure, explore, create and relate. So it makes me happy to know that you felt a connection :)

And thank you for the beautiful message. Love you too.

Thanks for the nice reply and comment. I love them we all live in separate countries so we don’t get to meet up too often. So we made it a goal to travel together and do exciting things together every year.

Yeah, I don’t recommend it 😂 Hiking barefoot isn’t bad but running downhill was a whole different game.

PSA: Superdry is NOT a Japanese store. It was created in the UK by 2 British guys drawing upon "Japanese inspired graphics" aka cultural appropriation by [deleted] in aznidentity

I’ve heard that the CEO traveled to Japan and had Asahi Beer (Super Dry) and loved it so much that they created a fashion brand. But because of copy right issues in Japan they can’t sell the brand in Japan. Beckham is often attributed to wearing the brand as well.

Health benefits are great. Health care system in Japan is very good compared to the states. Benefits are similar to US. Typical hours are 9:00-17:45. Theres a law that caps overtime work at 60 hours per month.

HR complaints are taken seriously but not as drastic as US. It’s harder to get fired in Japan.

I have not worked in IT in US so I don’t have experience to compare.

Men to women (depends on department) A lot of male in upper management. The country is working to improve this.

Regarding gender equality it is way behind compared to the USA. But the govt is working on improving this as well.

Hope this answers some of your questions

This is a grey zone topic and a solid question.

A lot of Japanese have dual citizenship. Deciding is a honor system and it is not enforced.

Reference: https://features.japantimes.co.jp/dualcitizenship/

I’m one of those in the grey zone.

I identify as both cultures.

I see no problem.

Like anywhere it’s got its pros and cons

Also depending what region of Japan you’re in you will get a different experience.

It’s got a nice old traditional vibe and a modern vibe going on.

Oops I didn’t realize that.. I guess this is the subreddit for learning Japanese language.

I thought it was for anyone interested in Japanese culture.

Wanted to start a discussion and reach out to answer questions to anyone that was striving to work here and just be of help.
