How could they eat that huge hamburger?
That is, the original company is from USA
so even if the color of the hair is bright, it's no problem
Why America
This is the question we are going to ask Japanese on the streets of Tokyo today
My name is Cathy Cat, this is Ask Japanese
Let's go and ask Japanese people
What they always wanted to ask American people
Let's go and ask Japanese
Why USA? Question Japanese people want to ask Japanese people
Please tell me
Why are people working in restaurants allowed to have bright colored hair?
Not allowed in Japan?
Not allowed
It's a matter of hygene
Basically black hair is necessary
Even in fast food restaurants like McDonalds?
Black hair? -Black or Brown
Others are not allowed? -That's right
So strict
-So if you wanted to work with you current hair, you can't? -Not possible
Is there a place you can work part time with a bright hair like that?
Well...
I'm working there
That is, the original company is from the USA
so I can have bright colored hair
That is why I felt it strange
In Japanese companies, if I don't have either black hair or brown hair
it won't be allowed, so I wanted to ask.
In other words, you want that in Japan as well? -Yes
Let's be a bit more free
Isn't it?
Did you have an experience like that before?
In Sushi stores, only black hair was allowed
So I decided not to work there
I wanted to have bright colored hair, so I decided not to
and decided in the current place
That is nice. You just wanted to be in the hair color which you desired
Yes
For people abroad, how much of bright hair is allowed in your country? Please comment
A lot of people wear sexy clothes
Yes,the California girl image is a Gal image
You don't see that a lot in Japan
Those kind of clothes, it's very hard to have courage to wear them here
Even a chubby person want to wear something like that
But I don't have the courage. How can people abroad wear those?
Sexy is allowed?
Yes, that seems like it's normal
People don't care
People care a lot in Japan
I envy that mentality a lot
I honestly think the ideal Japanese image is too high
I think so, too
Tight outfit with straps. What will happen if you wear in Japan?
If you wear that in Japan, people will look at you a lot
It will be embarrased and will wear something over it
Those happen a lot
Why do you wear shoes indoor?
My father is American
So if you go to his house, people go in with shoes on?
No, until the living room is shoes,
but there on, you take off the shoes
Which room seems strange to wear shoes?
It's an expat residence so the front door is..
Japanese doors have steps where you take off the shoes
but that step doesn't exist and it's flat straight to the living room
So it is..
there is a barrier where from here on the shoes area starts
As a Japanese how do you feel about going in with shoes on?
You just walk in straight from outdoors, so I don't want to sleep in the living room
That is because Japanese people sleep on the floor?
That is right. And my father sleeps with his shoes on, on the sofa.
The shoes as well as the clothes? -Yes
He lies down or read a book
-Can that happen in Japan? -It cannot
How did you feel when you went into the living room with shoes on?
"Am I allowed?"
I felt guilty of not taking it off
Why can Americans stay with the shoes on?
Please let us know
They are huge. The fastfood and stuff
I wonder why
Where did you see the biggest one?
How big was it?
The S size was the same as the L size in Japan
Starbucks was pretty much like that
Do you think you can eat it all?
I ordered L size and couldn't finish it
It was 2 portion size
Huge!
How could they eat that?
For Japanese, when I order a pizza
It's not 1 pizza per person but you share with everyone
You eat salad there as well
I felt strange about that
Why would a Japanese
not want a whole pizza to eat?
Why would you share it? A reverse question
Maybe because we have the hot pot culture
Like Sukiyaki where we eat together
So for pizza we share one pizza
I don't think Japanese would care about that
You mean even if I eat a whole pizza, you won't be surprised?
I will be surprised
How can they eat a huge hamburger like that?
-How could they finish it? -Also hamburger steak
How could they eat a huge size meal?
Do you think you can eat that big size meal?
I eat very little
I will be full with one McDonalds hamburger
With or without french fries?
I will be too full if I eat fries
Give me 2 other things you feel is huge besided the hamburgers?
Pasta, lasagne
Hamburger, pasta, lasagne
The American movies are really flashy
I feel the action is quite dynamic compared to Japanese ones
I feel the exploding sounds are much greater than Japanese movies
The power you mean? -Yes
-Why are there so much explosions? -Yes
These are all the questions. Thank you very much
So questions we would like to ask the Americans
There were some of the questions
I hope you guys wrote the answers while you were watching
I have a question, too
When I went to America, obviously sooner or later you have to, you know
wash your hands so to speak
What really surprised me was in the bathroom the toilet cubicles
don't close
Like, they are like
There are loads of gap on the floor, and gap on the ceiling
and it feels a little bit like a saloon door
I heard this, and Japanese people ask this to Americans
Why doesn't the door close properly
Ah you know there is going to be a gap like this.No the gap is huge
That I don't understand
Why doesn't the doors close properly?
So guys maybe you can let me know why
and answer the other questions if you are from America
If you're not from America, are there questions you would like to ask Americans
Leave on the comments. And Americans be sure to watch the questions and answer them
