A boy who can express his feelings
What country are you thinking of?
Can I ask why you broke up with your foreigner boyfriends?
The Mexican boy was too cheery for me
The other one was too gloomy for me
The cat ran away
Ran away. Hey guys on Ask Japanese it's Cathy Cat!
Kiss date marry, how far would Japanese go with a foreigner?
Foreigner guy or girl
Let's find out, hit the streets of Tokyo and Ask Japanese
How far can you go with a foreigner: kiss, date, marry?
If he was a good guy I could marry him
If he was a good guy? What is your ideal?
I like Koreans, they are my ideal
A boy who is tall and knows how to do ladies first things
We hear a lot "blonde tall" but why did you choose Korea?
I like K-pop idols and Korea in general
You were influenced by that - Yes
I think other foreigners are so cool too
But if you can choose - Would choose Korean boys
How about you? Date kiss marry a foreign guy?
Yes. Marry. There is nothing I would do differently to a Japanese boy
If I love someone just like I would love a Japanese boy, then I can marry him.
Even if he earns little?
Hmmm well if I had enough income it would not matter
But if I didn't have an income and his was low, no matter if foreign or Japanese, marriage would be difficult
She said Korea, what is your ideal?
I like Westerners
What country are you thinking of
Sweden... - And there you are with an IKEA bag today!
There you go
Did you search for your future husband there?
I have heard before they are very handsome in Sweden
And that's why she went to Ikea
How far can you go with a foreigner? Kiss date marry?
Marry! - Marry! - Marry too!
You would all marry! What would your ideal foreigner be like?
Someone who can express his love well
From where? - America?
Or maybe Italy
Why America or Italy?
They seem to have it - being good at expressing love
In words? Rather than with touch you want love expressed in words? - Yeah
Sometimes you see foreigners kiss in public - I would hate that!
Why do you hate that?
That would be embarrassing - What is your ideal then?
Someone who can have fun going shopping with me - Where shall he be from?
American - Why?
They seem like they are a lot of fun
When I went to Guam there was a boy I got along with. Someone from Guam would be great too
An ideal boy for me would have what Japanese boys do not: They lead
And show a lot of physical affection too
I want someone like that
Foreigners seem better at expressing emotions and are less shy.
I went to study abroad once
Living with my hostfamily, they would do things we wouldn't usually do
A lot of them lead me the way, I liked that
Things you would not usuall do? - Not being shy
They did a lot of things they wanted to do and I respect that
I like the ladies first idea that seems to exist abroad in America and other places
Do Japanese boys not really lead?
Depends on the person of course
But they seem to be more direct when it's about getting closer
With a foreigner kiss marry date, where would you go
Anywhere - I could marryJ
IS there no prejudice? - No I admire them more
Right
What or who do you admire?
I personally like people with pale skin
but then there are times when I also think black people are cool too
Abroad, everyones skin color is different right?
I like that abroad too, it makes people unique
So the skin color does not matter? - I think it does not matter
Japanese faces are different from faces like yours. So we admire your face types.
You mean the deeper features? - Yes
I admire that
Is there a country you would love to date someone from?
Difficult - Like you might like Harry Potter and that is why you want someone British or such
This is super close but recently I am curious about Korean boys
I want to speak Korean and date a Korean boy
What would your first kiss be like?
Tricky
I think foreigners are more romantic
I will leave the best scenario up to him
You will leave the date plan and kiss situation up to him
Foreigners seem to be good at that
Japanese often say "anything is ok" when you ask them where to go on a date
I think foreigners are good at escorting girls
Kiss marry date?
I could marry a foreigner
I would marry him
I just remembered my friend who married an American recently
Do you know anyone who is married to a foreigner - Not in my circle
I used to date foreigners - Where were they from?
A Mexican boy and a British boy
Did you live abroad? - No we met in Japan
They were English teachers
You met them at school?
I knew them on an English teaching site like Hello Talk
Can I ask why you broke up with them?
What was wrong so you didn't marry either
The Mexican boy was too cheery for me
I could not keep up with him
The British boy was too gloomy, I thought I would get depressed if we stayed together.
So we broke up
Do you have an ideal of a boy you would like?
I cannot speak English so I need a boy that can speak Japanese.
You said English, someone from an English speaking country? - Guess so
Does not have to be an English native speaker
Have an ideal country?
Ideal? I like Punk fashion
so that would make the UK my ideal
The punk side of the UK - right
I lived in the UK you see. I think if you date someone there your english tea skills will go up!
Tea there is as important the Miso soup here. You remember how your friends like their tea.
If you remember how your friends will have their tea, it's one thing of getting along better
I see
Japanese smile a lot but foreigners really only smile when they actually have fun
when they are not smiling it makes me worried they are angry
i wish for someone who can smile a lot
I could only date a foreigner girl. I can't imagine me marrying one
Our cultures are to different, it would be hard to make it work
Dating is only on the surface right
so we don't have to worry about being together forever
When dating you can only look at the good, when marrying also the bad comes in
I don't think I could marry a foreigner, though I have not dated one yet
My parents are Japanese. I don't know what they would say if I took a foreigner home
Our culture is important.
I can't imagine it working out. Not like Japanese ... - Different values
I head that unlike subdued Japanese girls, foreign girls are quite direct
I wonder if I could introduce her to my parents
So foreigner girls are too strong?
Foreign girls they seem to... take the initiative
I can't imagine them being more modest
They seem to take the initiative quite aggressive
Japanese girls wrap things up nicely or change the way they talk but foreigners say it directly.
That would worry me
How about you? - I wish I could marry a foreigner
There are foreigners walking around in Japan
and their kids look so cute. I love kids.
They are so cute. I want a cute kid like that.
I want to marry and have kids with foreigners
Where would your ideal wife come from?
I think Russia
I like how slender they are
Who could you date? - Someone from Asia like Korea
Girls that was a definite yes they all were like I would love to have a foreign boyfriend
asian foreign boyfriend, western foreign boyfriend, people seem to be
girls seem to be very open about that, especially with the gentleman behavior
getting treated very special, they seem to be looking forward to that
The boys that was a 50-50 seem to be more of like
Preferring the girls not so strong and a little bit subdued or
saying at least the kids will look cute so
