I think my relaxed attitude is what makes me very much a blood type B.
What type are you? I am type A
I am blood type 0
When I see things like that, I can tell that blood types really don't matter.
Hey guys it's Cathy Cat, you might believe in a horoscope, of similar things
in Japan there is one more thing: It's blood types. People a believe that certain people have
certain personalities depending on their blood types. But right now, do Japanese people
still care about that? Let's go and Ask Japanese.
Todays topic will be about this, can you try and read it?
Do you care about blood types?
I don't understand what that means.
Do you care about blood types?
I am not sure...
You don't either, right?
What do you care about?
If someone is sloppy, I will think he is a real B blood type person.
When someone looks well after other, I will believe that person is really a blood type 0.
So those characteristics are very much like that blood type.
What type are you? - I am blood type B.
You said you don't care. - Even when I look at people, I can't figure it out.
I don't really care about it.
What blood type are you? - I am blood type B
Same for both of you. - Yeah I didn't know that.
Are there times when you think "Yeah I am so Blood type B"
I am very sloppy and have a very relaxed attitude... I think that's very much blood type B.
Well we are both quite relaxed. I need ages to eat my food.
That's about it.
We got two Nos. Why so?
I have never really worried about it.
They say blood types say something about personalities but I don't believe in that.
So I don't care.
I feel pretty much the same.
They say there is no scientific evidence for these.
Do you know your blood type?
I am 0.
I am A.
Have you been called out by your blood types before?
Even though I am 0 many people keep telling me I am A.
In what situation did someone say that?
They say blood type 0 is very rough.
But people tell me I look like a very meticulous person.
And then people say how I am so different to my blood type.
How about you? Have you ever been called out on your blood type?
People tell me a lot that I am blood type A.
I think that might match.
What is very much like blood type A?
They are very precise about the things that they do.
I think that might be it.
You say A is very precise. About what?
I hand my documents in 3 days early and such.
I also...
Tidying all items into the wardrobe when they are out.
You both said No. Why do you not care.
Well I...
My school is a medical school.
That's how I know that blood types don't matter.
Yeah that's how I knew that it has no influence on personal traits.
I think so too.
Are you in the same school? - Yes I am.
You don't care? - I don't.
Why so? - I heard blood types and personalities are not connected.
That's why I don't care really.
Before entering medical school, did you believe that?
When I was in primary school I used to read books on blood types and such.
I read books on blood type 0 and A and such.
What type are you? - I am A. - I am O.
Do you get called out for your blood types? - Yes that happens.
When do you get called out for being like your blood type?
When I focus on something small in a lot of detail.
Some things I don't care about it at all. But I have a specific way how I write my notebook.
I am very detailed about it. When people see my notebook they say I am Type A.
Have you been called blood type 0?
People call me by the wrong blood type, type A.
When did people say that to you?
"You're surprisingly meticulous about things."
Why did you vote yes? - Why? Well...
I am type 0. But people tell me a lot that I seem to be AB.
I have some quirky traits since school, and so people kept telling me I am AB.
So I started believing that something like that must be true.
People say a lot "XY is like XY blood type."
So I care about blood types.
What point is very much like your blood type>
I guess it's because I am less-ordinary personally.
You say a lot too that I am different.
What is like your blood type?
"They don't want to stand out, but end up standing out."
I don't know much about what type AB is about. I think girls care more.
Girls say that a lot to me,
so I start believing that blood types actually have an influence on personality.
You said you don't care. Why so?
There is no specific reason for that.
I am actually really type AB.
But nobody ever tells me that I am like AB.
And they say I am not at all like AB.
Even caring about it, would not change a thing.
You are just a normal person. Like any other person just walking around here.
I didn't know you are AB until just now.
You heard it for the first time? - Yes! How can he be AB!
Do you agree? - Not at all!
He seems just type A.
That's why I don't care.
Why do you both say No?
In the end, it doesn't really decide what your character is like.
People say me type B has stereotypical traits, but looking close that's not the case.
There are so many people with that blood type.
It totally doesn'T matter.
Did you care about them in school?
Well in primary school we were all talking about it but...
I am actually type and there were times when I loathed being type B.
Why did you not like being B?
Type B is the only blood type that has mostly negative personal traits.
Is that so?
B is very much selfish and slow...
And similar things like that.
Gorillas are all blood type B too.
Apparently that's one of the theories.
Since Gorillas are all type B, kids kept telling me I am like a Gorilla.
There are things like that. Only B seems to have a lot of negative things.
That's why I didn't like being blood type B.
That's why I sometimes said I am a type 0 with a bit more B in it.
I won't do that anymore.
That sounds like bullying.
Seems like B is getting bullied for their blood type.
I wonder why. A are supposed to be meticulous about things.
B are supposed to be selfish and such.
They say that.
What type are you then? - I am also B.
Have you been called out for being B?
Like what?
You're totally B! - Like how so?
We are generally under the impression that type B is very relaxed about things.
They are not selfish but very much for themselves.
Do other Japanese people care a lot about things like that?
Many believe in horoscopes and such.
They also say A and B don't work well together.
They say that don't they? Heard that a lot.
A and B are the worst for compatibility.
A and 0 work the best together.
We have heard things like that for a while, since we were kids.
I've heard that for the first time. We don't have it abroad.
This is a real pain. You don't need it.
It's a set general idea that has been pushed on us and got stuck in our heads.
I think we all have that. A or B is like this or that.
And AB are like that.
And then 0. We all have those ideas in our head.
When people ask you your blood type, they generally follow it up with "You're totally like that."
Once I say I am B, people will assume things about me.
That's because they have that type of image in our heads, that's why we think like that.
Those were our questions, thank you.
Do Japanese people care about blood types? The new generation does not care about
blood types. We had 8 people who said "No I don't care." and just 2 people who said yes.
Saying "I look after that".
It seems to be similar thing, maybe similar to horoscopes or something people
used to believe in, maybe not nowadays, and vice versa.
How is that for you? Do you believe in blood types horoscopes, Chinese Horoscope,
is there anything you believe in or used to believe in. Let us know.
Also we had two girls who didn't want to have their face exposed because they are actually
gonna apply for jobs so they said, please blank out our faces. That's why we couldn't show it.
Hope that's ok for you guys, so on that note we wish you a great day and
