Hey guys and girls on Ask Japanese it's your flashy fashion reporter CathyCat!
Welcome to the Japanese summer, we will hit the streets of Tokyo and find out
Which boys are hated the most on Japanese school in general
Let's find out what things are unpopular if you should come and do them in Japan
Let's go and ask a variety of Japanese and don't forget to subscribe
Which boys were the most hated at your school?
The bad boys were disliked by all
How do they look?
People who would cut a mohican hairstyle
You had people like that in Japan at your school?
Or the sidecut type! Short side, fluffy top. No go.
Those kind of boys were around at our school
They were scary - And so tall
They were too scary
Since you said that, did you watch Tokyo Revengers?
We did not
I was wondering if the badass boys got trendy due to that, but you are just scared - yes
How about the scholarly boys?
They kind of focus on themselves, so I didn't talk much with them but at least they are not scary
they were not as unapproachable like the badass boys
Are Otaku boys popular?
They are more popular than people think
Generally bright people are said to be popular but
But behind people's backs the Otaku are also being called cool recently
So officially girls will say the cool guys are cool
but inside you will actually like the otaku boys too
When it is just us girls we will admit that that otaku boy looks cool
That is what makes otaku boys happy
So you are secretly the popular ones
Yes they are
Which boys are unpopular at your school
Boys who talk bad about others
And? - Liars
Are girl chaser popular with the girls?
Depends on how long they date and how often he switches girlfriends
Boys who have many girlfriends over a short time are hated by girls
Let me name some boy types and you tell me if they are popular. First how about the otaku?
They are hated - Definitely unpopular
How about the bad-guy boys
I think they are also hated
Gyaru might like them
The bad mannered people alike might like each other
but the studious students and normal students will hate them
Not sure if there are muscular boys in your school, if they are are they popular
Sporty boys are popular
For sure
Do you know Tokyo Revengers? - That manga is based on the 90s
Dont think they are so popular
We hate trash guys
What are trash guys
Boys who play around with girls a lot
Boys who will tell any girl that she is cute
Or touch them
You mean... a skirt chaser? - That one!
So they are not popular?
Welll..... first they might be popular but...
But once girls find out he is like that they will avoid him
First you think he is nice until you realize he has a lot of girls
Exactly
In anime there are sometimes SENPAI types who are beloved by everyone
But if that senpai chatted up too many girls he would be unpopular
Something like that
Let me ask for different boy types and you tell me if they are popular
How about the scholarly type?
THEY ARE THE BEST
They are serious! They have what I do not have
I can respect them - they work hard
Next up are the badass boys, how about them
I personally like the badass boys
I do but my friends...
No for me
No way in hell
Why do you like them? - I like manly men
They seem like they can protect me... protect me right
So the bad boys = I like the bad boys
Not braving the bad boys?
I really dont like men who cannot follow the rules
Fun to see you are all friends though
How are your thoughts on the Otaku boys = They are alright
If I like the same anime, we would have lots to talk about
What would you talk about
Anime and such - and you¥
I like Otaku boys - me too
Before, otaku had a negative image, why did that change now?
Before Otaku were the uncleanly sweaty boys that hung out in Akihabara but now
there are many otaku of many different genres now, I think that is great
Which Otaku is popular? First the anime otaku?
Depends on what type of show they watch.
There is currently an anime boom so the negative stigma has changed
So the anime otaku are a triangle, a maybe - triangle
How about the idol otaku - ugh
If they are into the idol, that are on TV and such I understand but
But not if they are into the small chika-idols - they are too close. I wouldn't like that
Too close to their audience?
I have the impression that the otaku that support smaller idols are a bit crazy
And with chika-idol since they are so close, people can request hugs and such ew
Some idols let their fans kiss or touch them ew
But if its not that close its ok
How about the flirty host boys? - I hate them so much
I hate them, no way
Well...... - WHAAAAAAT
I like their pretty host faces
But recent hosts look pretty normal
How about the sporty boys - I love them so much
I love them too - I think they are great
What sport is ok?
Girls in Japan like boys who do soccer or basketball
What should boys in Japan never do? - Be uncleanly
If you are not having good personal hygiene
The ones that smell a little in school - Oh those are the worst
Long hair that is not styled - wilde eyebrows
Ok
We asked some of the things about boys here in Japan before and one of the things
that was very unpopular was
them not being shaven. Cleanliness is number one. Seiketsukan is number one
Which means not just the beard has to be shaven, men have to shave... other parts... as well
including legs and such and actually
I see on the trains in summer commercials for hair removal salons
not just for the ladies but also for the gents. So if you are curious about the things for the ladies that are considered
good if you do it as a man or boy in Japan then
