Well abroad
might be nice like America or Canada BUT...
I envy your eye color they are green right - Green - So pretty.
Wait for me!
Hey guys and girls welcome to Tokyo this is your flashy fashion reporter Cathy Cat and if
you guys could be reborn as someone or something else
what would you like to be reborn as? Would you like to be a cat?
Would you like to be reborn as someone from a different country and that's what we'd like to ask Japanese people on the streets today
Which country will they chose let's go and find out and Ask Japanese.a a
If you could be reborn again, what nationality do you want to be? - Japanese
I have only lift in Japan, but I like how mannered we are
I have lived with those highly cultured manners for 22 years now
There are many things I think are good about our culture. Abroad...
America and Canada might also be nice but
It's just an admiration and that's enough.
I want to be reborn again into the great things that Japan has to offer.
If I could be born again... see I like Emma Watson...
I want to become Emma Watson
I want to be as pretty as her! - You wanna be a beauty!
Do you want to be American or British?
Emma Watson has a strong image from the Harry Potter movies so what country will you chose?
Some sort of European
I am so envious of their slim faces and tall noses there
I envy that pale skin too
I am admiring Foreign people so much you see.
But when it's about LIVING somewhere I prefer Japan.
Why? - Our Miso soup tastes good.
Our food is good - Yeah
I am interested in abroad but I don't wanna live there.
What do you love the most about Japan then?
The fact that our trains are on time. I never lived in a place where the trains are late.a
If a bus is just a little late, it will mess with my whole schedule
If the bus is a little late I am already angry, so if the trains did that I would go mad.
I think this is great about Japan
I like that Japan is safe and that the city is clean.
If I were to go abroad alone my parents would be against it.
But if I was to travel Japan, my parents would not stop me.
If you could change your nationality after being reborn what would you be?
After all I would be Japanese.a
I admire foreigners, see I am wearing blue contacts.
I am staring at your blue contact lenses, so pretty.
Yes they are contacts
I envy your eye color - Thank you - Green
So pretty - Thank you
I envy your colored eyes and hair but
Japan is so convenient and so peaceful.
And I love the food and think my taste in food would not change even if I was reborn.
I like Japanese clothes, Japanese shrines and such
I want to be Japanese. I want to live in Japan.
What will you be? - I want to be half Japanese.
Half Japanese and Half another country.
Or quarter - How unfair!
She said that's unfair!
Korean girls are so slender
I like that slenderness and I also like blue eyes blonde hair
Maybe someone from France
Just taking the good parts - hold on
I want to be Half Japanese then too
You both wanna live in Japan? - Yes it's peaceful here
Looking at the news nowadays... - Looking at foreign news
or just on TicToc I am so shocked.
Are you scared? - Japan has rough areas but
Not as bad
What did shock you on TicToc?
Not sure what exactly but just a non related couple getting murdered for no reason.
That kind of stuff is on Tictoc?
Only with words, and TicToc reads it out to you
I saw stuff like that
Abroad is so scary
Japan doesn't have guns you see
You can't carry blades - Nothing longer than 15 cm
You can't carry knifes in Japan
But not having guns is the best
Police can also not easily kill people either. This is super good right?
Because nobody has guns? - Exactly
What is not good about Japan? - Attitude towards tattoos
Japan is a little late when it comes to that. Abroad Tattoos are ok right
I love hot springs but in Japan you can not go with a tattoo
You cant even visit a pool. That is so inconvenient
I think tattoos are great and I want one but in Japan people will think you're a bad apple.
You also can't find work with a tattoo. It's such a pain.
Nit-picky.
There are so many rules like you can't dye your hair in school
You have to tie your hair - If it touches your shoulder you have to tie it
And then in other schools they ban ponytails. - Yeah.
You can't wear your fringe freely - And they decide on the skirt length
Sometimes even the sock color is regulated
That kind of strictness is a pain
If you do something different than everyone else it might be a problem in Japan
Many of us cannot do things differently to others. We wanna do the same things as others.
It makes them worried - So group mentality - Yeah
When two bully one girl, the whole class sill start ignoring her too.
That is our problem - That's scary group culture.
Older people, the former generation will be really rough with shop staff in malls
Especially in stores where old people go to, working there is hard
You cannot dye your hair
Is there a generation gap in Japan? - It's TOO much of a gap
We have a super aging society and they are like "the youngsters these days..."
They say that a lot
Many will ask me, even though our hair will naturally get white when we get older why I died it white.
When being young I want this hair color but they don't understand.
If you could be reborn a different nationality what would you be?
Japanese. - I wanted to say that too.
You too? - Yeah.
Well in that case American - American or Japanese
Thats it. But European is nice too.
I have already lived in Japan so American next - You already ticked it off
What do you want to do in your next life?
I wanna become rich
Graduate from the NBA and then go to Hollywood
I want to play basketball. It must be very different in the US
I also think being an English native speaker must have an advantage
- True! - Since birth!
Right would you like to be reborn as a housecat? Sounds cozy just getting fed.
But many Japanese people chose to become Japanse in their next life.
Which may be a reflection of how much they enjoy and love their own culture
Same thing for you, if you could be reborn in a different country with a different life what would you do?
What would you pick, what life would you like to have?
It's very interesting, I think a couple of influencers here in Japan
I head one girl say she wish she was Japanese or half Japanese
It would have been a lot easier for her life here in Japan, especially her career.
Interesting topic let us know in the comments what your thoughts are on that.
We have already done another video about what Japanese think about other countries and that's here
Thanks for subscribing I am looking forward to seeing more videos of you here
from Tokyo. Thanks for hanging out, this was CathyCat, bye!
