Interesting find, thanks for sharing. Found a preview link...I just found interesting documentary series called "ここだけの話” in Japanese, "Risque business" in English on Netflix.
It is about two Korean male reporters go into deep adult scene in the country and find out their back stories. When you have time
I saw the first episode and it was good - and the guys are actually quite funny and surprisingly respectful. Very enjoyable.I just found interesting documentary series called "ここだけの話” in Japanese, "Risque business" in English on Netflix.

There has been a very interesting shift in how Japan is perceived at the very least online in the past 10 years. I remember during the 2010s when tourism in Japan picked up, everybody and their mom talked about Japan as this utopian wonderland with no faults. It was all anime, idols, nice people, beautiful nature and nobody in Japan could do wrong. And then sometime before the pandemic that view completely shifted to Japan being terrible. Shit work-life balance, high suicide rates, low birth rates, racist/xenophobic population who all just act nice but ultimately hate foreigners and a country with no future. This happens with many countries but especially Japan; people just really can not see that a country has it's good and bad sides. It's either all fantastic or all shit.
Cheers, downloaded Series 1(6 episodes about Japan) and Series 2(6 episodes about Germany and Holland).I just found interesting documentary series called "ここだけの話” in Japanese, "Risque business" in English on Netflix.

And these are the guys that most of the new arrivals and tourists meet, since they have no lives and all they do is hang out at cheap bars. The people that are relatively content here have families and friends and hobbies that fill up their days. And most of us assiduously avoid places with an abundance of tourists.
It’s weird because in the early 2010’s there was almost no tourism because people were scared of the radioactivity and earthquakes and all of that.
I remember meeting a Scandinavian foreigner in a bar in Japan when I just got here who gave me an ear full about how all Japanese people are liars. Then months later I met a Chinese foreigner somewhere outside and for some reason I asked his take on it. And he said that foreigners who say that don’t understand the Japanese culture of being considerate and that they don’t say the straight truth because they do not want to hurt people.
More like people who are comfortably settled here usually avoid the Hub.
The weirdest part about this sort of topic is that the birth rates in many European countries aren't that much different or they're worse lol.
Nah, after you’ve been here a while you realize the hub isnt that bad.
You can add Ikebukuro and Ueno to that list.
They really need to stop recycling old resources.
I sometimes watch a Korean live streamer when they do IRL content (which is super hypocritical because I think IRL live-streaming is obnoxious but I still enjoy watching it).... but anyways when they walk past a baby or young child in Korea the chat always goes wild saying how rare it is. Mostly a joke but gets a chuckle out of me.
Don’t forget about married couples cheating, one bit youtubers can’t seem to stfu about it
