Very conservative, very well dressed, and very well mannered.
It's a lot of freedom of expression and everything over here.
More eccentric than in France, than in Paris.
There is more freedom.
Hey guys, it´s Cathy Cat!
And today we are going to ask foreigners
what they think of Japanese women and comparing them with their countries.
So let's go and ask foreigners in Japan!
Okay, let's start! Where are you from?
-Mexico. -France.
Mexico too.
What is your very first impression of Japanese women, compared to women back home?
They are like more cute and tiny. I don't know...
Cute and tiny, compared to the ladies in Mexico?
Yeah.
Sometimes I just want to look like some Japanese woman.
But I can't because my thighs for example of shape of my body is very different because I'm European, so...
Sometimes it's difficult to wear Japanese clothes.
But that's okay, we can find like this so...
That's okay.
And I really like Japanese culture.
And Japanese women, they are more beautiful than some French girls I see.
Sometimes.
Love their fashion sense and their makeup. For some reason I really like it.
What do you what specifically do you like about the makeup or the fashion?
I don't know, I think it just looks so different from like, my country.
So, I don't know. It just catches my eye.
Okay, where are your from?
China.
Well, one thing I think is different in China.
A lot of girls like to wear shorts jeans.
Yeah, I think that is more western style.
While really here people are more into, like
long pants, long skirts.
-That's... -Different fashion style?
Yeah, yeah.
-Where are you from? -Melbourne and Cairns.
-I'm Cairns. -Melbourne.
And this is your first time in Japan?
Yes, it is.
Very conservative, very well dressed, and very well mannered.
Yeah, I agree with all of that.
Yeah, just that. Very clean, very well presented.
Like, the kind of fashion than Japanese women wear, would you be able to wear that back home?
Yes, yes. It's modest compared to Australian.
Yeah, I was wondering what you meant with modest. What is different? How it's like...?
A lot more long-sleeve shirts...
Not so much skin. Collars are a lot more higher.
Yeah, so just a lot more modest.
Right! There's actually not much cleavage going on, is there?
No, no. Definitely not!
Okay, are we ready? Let's go!
Where are you from?
Texas.
Right, Texas. Where are you from?
Also from Texas.
Right, both of you!
We went to Texas, we went to Houston the other day. Woohoo!
Everyone's like really nice and polite, and I just love everything.
It's just so very cute and lovely, it's beautiful here.
Comparing to back home in Texas and women back home in Texas
What do you think is different?
It's a lot cuter.
It's a lot of freedom of expression and everything over here.
I think they're a bit more shyer than us.
Like, we have like really loud voices, and they have like nice cute soft voices.
Okay, let's go! Where are you from?
I'm from Poland.
-Where are you from? -I'm from India.
Right! Is it your first time in Japan?
-Yes, the first time. -Yes, it's the first time.
Actually, here girls are very modern.
They wear very colorful (items), so they are really amazing.
Right. Wear different styles?
Yeah. Different styles, different...
It's everything different!
They're a short while of from India .
So they look... look pretty.
But Indian women are still beautiful.
But she's too beautiful.
You're very polite, thank you
Where are you from?
We're from France.
France! Paris?
-Yeah. -Wow, Paris!
First time in Japan?
Yes, first time.
Um, the style?
I'm think they're more ballsier maybe.
The looks are more eccentric than in France, then in Paris.
There is more freedom.
I think so.
Shops are crazy as well.
There is a lot of stuff that is amazing, and...
Tokyo is crazy in general, and especially here.
It's a good representation of Tokyo, these streets.
Where you from?
Well, I'm from Germany.
We could speak in German where we decided to speak in English.
For the sake of the video, you know.
Exactly!
Easier for the subtitles as well!
A lot like you see in different videos
Like they're, very friendly and...
Also what surprised me, what is very different from the European way
What is very different from the European way is like, the way they act.
Expressive, you know.
In a certain kind of way.
Have you had any good experiences?
Most of them like, were really friendly and kind toward me.
Like in the club
They like, sort of started talking to me and...
Well!
It's pretty nice
Tell me your airplane story.
Eh, okay.
When I went to Japan. I met a woman on the airplane
and she offered me to, I think 11 hours where we could just speak and
talk about our hobbies and every different things.
So we kind of became friends
and she let me put my backpack and in her place.
Instead of just like, you know
yeah, instead of going to a locker or having to put it somewhere else
That's so nice!
I'm so glad! Are you still friends?
Yeah, actually she showed me around.
She showed me at the very first day.
We landed on
at Narita Airport at, I think it was 8 a.m. in the morning.
I think it was Wednesday.
Together we went to her place then to Asakusa.
And she showed me around the whole day.
And she showed me the Imperial Palace and...
It was amazing!
She showed me different places that are
Like, the hidden spots
And she also told me about you know, the Pasmo. You know?
Yeah, it was very amazing actually.
I've just been blown away by Japan right now.
Like, I'm here for two and a half weeks and
It's amazing!
You made such a good experience! I'm so glad you made such a good experience there.
Wow, good point there!
Thank you so much!
So!
What do foreigners in Japan actually think about Japanese women, or girls hey!
Everyone was saying that they're very cute and very fashionable.
And very. You know, very kind and mannered and things like that.
I can totally second that.
There's nothing even I could add to that.
One thing I would like you to think about when you make friends with Japanese women is again
don't forget the culture. Never skip the culture!
They might be really cool, they might be very shy.
There are all types of girls here in Japan, and woman in Japan
But also make sure they know how to read the air.
which means they're very very caring, generally.
I've had that a lot
that they are very caring they think about you a lot, they make sure to help you out.
But be sure that you actually return that (favor) as well.
So what I've seen is some Japanese women will never actually say something
if they feel like you're treating them wrong, and they will keep that in for a while
and then it will just come out in one big explosion!
Well, they just won't contact you again anymore...
Little hint. For example, if you get invited two times to an event
For example, two different events and you turn it down twice. Be sure to say;
"next time, I'll invite you"
They kind of like go, and you know, make sure that they'll invite you again.
Always try to keep the line going so you can create friends
and maybe, you know, if you're looking out for a girlfriend.
Always be sure to, look out for them as well. Do not only think about yourself!
So that's one of the things I'd like to add!
Generally...
So I hope that was good for you to know.
How about you? How are the women in your country
Compared to women in Japan from what you've seen from what you've heard.
Let us know. Looking forward to reading what's different in your country.
And, I wish you a lovely day. And I catch you soon on Ask Japanese.
Bye!
