Japan is not a religious country, but people go to shrines on New Year's Day and go to Chrisian church when they have a wedding. When they died, a Buddhist priest comes and the funeral is held in accordance with Buddhist rites. In a sense Japanese are so generous to many religions and accept many religions as they are. But it is very stragne for non-Japanese.

Japanese people are extremely insular and racist. They regard themselves in extreme esteem, glorifying anything domestic. Foreign culture is seen as exotic and a symbol of global influence, which only returns to the theme of group identity--a people whose scope is global and prominence is omnipresent.

It is said that Japanese are shy and too sensitive to to others. They have group-oriented mentality.
I have known the interesting fact.
Many Japanese are interested in blood types. They think of persons with A type blood as shy and introverted. But the good poin of A type persons is that they are hard working, serious and considerate to others. Interstingly enough more than 60% of Japanese people have A type blood. In terms of the blood type, it is no wonder that many non-Japanese feel that Japanese are shy and not open-minded.

In Japan people give Chritmas presents to thier family or friends on Christmas Day. Especially children get a Christmas present from their parents. Some kindergartners believe that Santa Claus comes to their home at midnight and put a Chrismas present near their bed. But when kids go to elementary school, they know the truth, that is, their parents put a Chrismas gift by their pillow.

Japanese love eating raw fish. It makes Americans so surprised. Japanese eat fish mainly caught in the sea, but Americans eat fish caught in the lakes or rivers. The fish which was caught in the lakes or the rivers doesn't taste good if you eat it without heating up. So Americans feel that they can never eat raw fish. But oceanic fish is so tasty even if you eat it without heating up. I love grilled fish the best,though.

everyone thinks foreign things are exotic.. thats what exotic means
when i was in japan they were all like wow gaijin lets all give him attention and shit, but there was no discrimination and they were all pretty polite
of course they might be thinking otherwise inside, but that doesnt concern me
being in china for a week was kinda different though, all the young men and boys stared at me and sneered and shit
Many people think Japanese are cold to non-Japanese, while Chinese and Koreans are very kind to foreigners. Whe I took a trip to Korea, China, and Japan, I felt it is true. Japanese are the coldest people to foreigners.

Japanese try to avoid talking with foreigners, so it's no wonder some foreigners feel that Japanese are cold-hearted, but they want to talk with foreigners at heart. But the language barrier makes them shy. The difference of the sentence structure between English and Japanese is so huge that it's impossible to ordinal Japanese to master English.

How good at you at Chinese? Not at all I bet. Probably the same for English, seeing how you type. Chinese and English share nearly the same grammatical structure. All languages are in context and can be made up on the spot, fail for dumb statement.
Japanese doesn't mirror a European language at all. Object placement and verb diction, as well as conjugative structure in the language families share little to no relation.
You do know that Korean shares vocabulary and grammar structure with Japanese, right? Only difference is that Korean has a far simpler pronounciation system in which symbols are linear combinations of phomatic morphemes--whereas Japanese depends on two sets of morphemes (hiragana and katakana) with modifiers the conjunct pronounciation of phomemes.

Sushi bars sometimes leave a small bowl of salt at the doorstep when you leave. If the soy sauce is not salty enough (and it usually is not), customers are free to dip their finger in the salt and eat as much as they desire. It is an informal time when you can talk about anything with anyone!
Ok I think people are a little clueless. The reason why the Japanese treat you coldly is because you weigh 400+ pounds and spent your time sweatting and slobbering infront of some hentai in a small closed in store in which your fat is blocking up the entire aisle.

Japanese like boiled food as well as raw fish. They have many kinds of noodles. One is ramen. It may be the most popular. Now you can buy a lot of instant noodles at shops. Another is soba(buckwheat) noodles. The taste of the buckwheat noodes is very different from that of ramen noodles. They dip the buckwheat noodles into sauce, which is mainly made of soy sauce, and eat them. When they put the soba noodles into their mouth, they slurp, which makes noises. But it's not rude. Another one is udon noodles. Udon noodles are white in color. They make soy-flavored soup, and put udon noodles in the soup and boil them for a while. You can find many udon restaurants in Japan.

The only thing Japanese has in common with European languages is how amazingly similar sounding to Spanish its syllabes are, although it is by mere coincidence.
In Japan,three elementary-school girls have killed in this last month. First in Hiroshima prefecture by a Peruvian, second in Tochgi by unknown murderer, and the third was on last Saturday: a twelve year-old girl was killed by her teacher(!) in cramming school in Kyoto.
These murder cases shocked Japanese society so hevily. Parents worry about whether their child come back home safely everyday. Some school even began to run school buses to protect children from trouble. I`m sory my English is awful.

The reason why there are more children murder cases is that many Japanese men can't have a good communication with women because they are only trained to get good marks on the exams. Of course there are classes for ethical train at school, but it is only superficial. In Japan the most important thing is to go to a famous top-rate university. Students as well as parents never put an emphasis on the moral education of the university but put an emphasis on the acdemic level and fame of the university.
>>58
Actually, emphasis on education in Japan is nowhere as high as in Korea and urban China. Modern Japan is a lot like the US, you have your hardworking typical asian guy, but most people are fairly relaxed in comparision to Korea and China/Taiwan, where virtually every kid takes several cram schools if they can afford it.

Japanese people respected confusianism in the past. They looked up to older people, and the people who entered a company or a school ealier than they. English doesn't have the word for 'senpai'. The man who is older or entered a school earlier is called senpai. But in today's Japan this tendency is changing. Many people are losing confusian mentality.

And Japan (and its people) were derived from Bekje, which is a country formed in South Korean territory in year 500 (estimated).
Japanese kids' English pronunciation is much better than that of older people. Because they now have a lot of opportunities of listen to English spoken by native speakers through TV programs, English CDs, and Internet. What is more, the Ministry of Education has decided to give an individual listening test in the National Preliminary Test for University, which is like SAT in the US. When it comes to exams, Japanese students are very good. So English listening skills of Japanese will be much better in the near future.

In Japan English study is so popular. Many Japanese, maybe No. 1 in the world take TOEIC tests. But the biggest problem is that when it comes to speaking English, Japanese are very poor.

That's a problem of English. Languages have their strengths and their weak points. For example:
English has an easy grammar, hard ortography (words not written as they sound), easy alphabet, mostly latin vocabulary (easy for Western Europeans), average pronunciation, and is hard to understand when spoken.
Spanish has a hard grammar, easy ortography, easy alphabet, latin vocabulary, average to hard pronunciation, and is easy to understand when spoken.
And as far as I've seen, Japanese has an easy grammar, easy ortography if you use kana, extremely hard alphabet, own vocabulary, easy pronunciation, and is easy to understand when spoken.
I'm Spanish. Learning English was easy for me, but it's still somewhat hard to understand it when spoken. On the other side, I don't know Japanese, but the few words I know, I immediately recognize them when spoken in anime, something I couldn't do with English when I was learning it.

In Japan garbage problems are becoming more and more serious. Now when we throw away garbage, we have to divide garbage into three groups, that is, burnable garbage, non-burnable garbage, and recyclable garbage. But since some people don't observe this rule, one or two persons have to stand in the garbage collection site early morning to watch people throw away their garbage. But standing in the garbage collection site early morning makes people so much tired. It's really troublesome for those people who have to go to work early morning. So it has caused another problem. So some people began to ignore watching in the collection site. In my neighborhood, the persons who don't want to stand in the collection site had a big fight with the town leader, who decided to do it.

This winter is incredible cold, recorded as the coldest since the WWII. 60 or 61 people died by the accident relates to snow removal, etc.

Some truth to that. Japs take failure very seriously and failing to even enter a post secondary institution is THE ultimate fail hence they kill themselves.
Not sure about the rape thing being legal but there are "different" kinds of rape that are considered socially acceptable in Japan.

Also another thing to note, groping of women on public rail has become sucha problem that they have provided a separate train car for women only. The only one that gets to grope these ones is the guy stuffing them into the entrance. Yes trains are THAT crowded at times that they have to literally push people by force to max out the capacity of the train.

Do you know Japanese "kotatsu" heater? "Kotatsu is a kind of heater. It is like a very low small table. We sit on tatami mat and get our legs in the kotatsu to keep our body warm. Kotatsu table has a heater, which is under the table. The heater uses red rays. I have never seen this "kotatsu" heater in other countries.

I have seen it in manga. When sitting at a kotatsu a girl has a great opportunity to rub a boys penis with her feet.

Why do Japanese sentences translated to English always sound the same? Like most of the replies in this thread, they have a sort of informative politeness that doesn't change style or tone at all.

It's been said that Japanese people are too polite. They often bow each other. But it's true for only middle-aged or old people. The young Japanese are very rude. They don't know moral or politeness. If you teach English in a low level high school in Japan, you can understand this very easily. They never respect teachers. They chat and chat ignoring their teacher. They are much worse than real animals.

There are a few black people in Japan.
In the past they were not so popular.
But now many Japanese girls, especially girls in big cities
like black people.
They think it's cool to walk with black people.
Japanese girls are so foolish that they are greatly infuenced by mass media.

I mean there's a tone in these sentences that sounds polite or formal, like each word is spoken without slang, dialect or contractions.

My favorite fetish! But I think I only like it in anime, not real life.

probably because Japanese people learn English purely according to grammatical rules, as opposed to immersion, so I bet they never pick up on the slang and dialect you'd get from interacting in everyday life.

>>168 You can use any slang expressions you love. But so what?
"Giri" and "ninjoh" are very hard to translate into English. "Giri" is a kind of duty, which we should follow. Even if we hate to do it, we are often forced to do it out of the sense of "giri" to make our society stable and peaceful. Almost all Japanese send New Year's cards to their boss or colleagues on New Year's Day even it they think it's troublsome. "Ninjoh" is natural human feelings. The person with "ninjoh" feels very sorry for people who are in trouble, and try to help him. In English, compassionate feelings are the most similar to "ninjoh".

I guess they are the same ones your parents practised on you, except the last three aren't ok in Japan.
