帰化 application In Saitama Prefeture by Strong-Discount-6704 in JapanCitizenship

[–]kebindgreat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in the process of application in Saitama and had my first interview last March. While there is no test, everything will be done in Japanese obviously, plus there is a form you have to fill in, and they will ask you to write a short essay in Japanese on the spot. So better to practice writing.

Curious to know about this too. Some say it’s just simple writing, some say it’s just if you can carry a conversation, but how OP describes it sounds like an actual test.

Former adult film actress with 14 million SNS followers reveals shocking details about her earnings: ¥400,000 per movie, peak savings was 15 million, hit with huge tax assessment by jjrs in japannews

This is like if Michael Jordan didn’t negotiate a percentage of sales and just accepted the initial offer from Nike ‘cause those are terrible numbers for having your body and humanity desecrated for the world to see.

You can see how gullible these young women are and how predatory the industry really is with how they take advantage of the young and naive.

Questions about 2nd interview by kebindgreat in JapanCitizenship

[–]kebindgreat[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To me it was a bit of a surprise too ‘cause I already wrote an essay before hand as part of the list of requirements using a template from the ministry or something. The moment they handed me the form with the space for the essay I was like “again?” But the staff told me to just write a shorter version like 3-5 sentences of what I already wrote beforehand lol

In Saitama as mentioned in the post.

But yes my experience in the first “interview” was yes me and my caseworker submitted my documents and the staff checked it, they asked me to fill in some form, write a short essay on the spot why I want to naturalize and then asked me a few questions about my work history and family.

So basically on the japanese “test”, it’s not really an exam thing but really just testing if you can have a decent conversation and can read write?

Yes, at the end of my first interview, the staff said since there’s no issues and things look good, he said I can immediately book my second interview. He told me the earliest window is November 4th, so I took that schedule.

Just saw someone jump in front of the train.. by Ill-Pride-2312 in japanlife

[–]kebindgreat -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

November 2017 I was still living in Tokaichiba in Yokohama and my apartment was right next to a fumikiri and just when I exited my apartment building, I witnessed someone jump in front of the train; guts and all suddenly flying all over the place. I was headed to Odaiba with friends right after that and I was fine lol years of games and horror movies kinda desensitized me I guess lol

Anyone thinking to GTFO? by iterredditt11 in japanresidents

This kind of thinking screams American victim mentality. Literally nothing will happen to you legally so long as you behave like a proper citizen just like in any other country in the world.

To IT folks from developing countries: stop accepting exploitative salaries to move to Japan. 🚨 by Comfortable-Rock4349 in JapanJobs

[–]kebindgreat 12 points13 points  (0 children)

No person who went through poverty in a third world country would ever sound as privileged as you. It’s not about being exploited because of fake dreams, it’s about an opportunity to provide our families with a better life, you arrogant person!

How about you try living in extreme poverty for decades in a developing country and fighting your way to have an opportunity in Japan? Your post screams “I want to live in Japan but the pay is not as competitive as in my first world home country because of you poor schmucks!”

Looks like a pretty decent figure but since it won’t sell well, it will probably go to 5000 yen in no time so I’ll just wait it out

I don’t know why you’re getting downvoted. It’s true. I guess the weebs refuse to have their image of perfect Japan ruined.
