Current Events > What's the easiest way to permanently living in Japan

(+) Yeah! (+)

You people thinking you can just jump to another country & they'll accept you because you like anime & can adopt some cultural mannerisms are actual freaks, cringiest shit seeing someone proclaim they're genetically Japanese because you like ramen & shit.

You will always be a foreigner to them & their justice system when you make one small mistake & go to jail for years will prove that to you.

itt people who never set foot in japan and think they know what it's like. You guys are worse than anime weebs lol

I think that if people find it difficult to function in the culture that they are immersed in from birth, then they might also struggle in one that they have only learned about second hand.

Well, this topic isn't creepy at all with your history of obsessing over jpop idols.

The classic way is to go there to teach English, marry a Japanese person, get a better visa, get a better job, then spend the rest of your life hanging around a bar with the other loser lifer foreigners complaining about how life was better back home.

This. They don't overwork the foreigners teaching English as bad.

Until you've hung dong with your fellow countrymen in a relaxing onsen like me, you never truly experienced Japan.

Please tell me you're doing a bit.

Nothing.

But you don't talk about their music when you make topics about them.

Doubt your skin color or nationality are though... you'll always be a foreigner

I'm already misunderstood in America so even if I was misunderstood in Japan, I'd still be in Japan!

It's almost certainly a bit.

I have a good friend who spent 8 months living in Japan. Said he wouldn't go back. The foreigner bars were pretty depressing and he spent 8 months in a hostel. No host, no sponsor, no job. He got some cool shit, but the culture is just too different.

MarthGoomba posted...

the difference is that Japanese media corporations do have soul. such as the love live franchise

Ah yeah, famous Japanese soulful companies like SoftBank, Kadokawa, and Konami

No wonder he hated it. He spent 8 months in a fucking hostel. I'd hate any country if I spent that long with no privacy and rooming with a bunch of dirty hippies.

The bars were a lot of fun. He went to the wrong ones I guess.

X Japan ftw! Although their concerts are very few and far between now.

Learn language, choose area, go through legal means to move there, buy or rent place in chosen area.

No they're just a weirdo, it's so insanely racist in a fundamental level to not be Japanese but say no wait I actually am 100% genetically Japanese because I like anime & onsens & riding on their train systems & going to their bars & know about their culture & whatever the fuck else they say.

They've been doing this for months. Unabashedly shameful weird ass behavior

Its lonely af there. Could be that I am a gaijin but who knows.

Figure out how to be an English Teacher. You dont even need to know how to speak Japanese.

Just being a native-born English speaker will get you 90% of the way there.

Ken-sama is my hero. If this man can get a Japanese wife, *anything* is possible. He's an inspiration to weebs everywhere!

If Naomi Payton's fat American dad can live the weeb dream why can't I

The easiest way to live in just about any country in the world, other than being born there or being incredibly wealthy, is to be a decent teacher.

Step 1: Fly to Japan
Step 2: Marry Shigeru Miyamoto's daughter

The easiest is to marry a Japanese person obviously. I married a Chinese person though. I got permanent residency by having a PhD, certification of Japanese language ability, decent job, etc. It uses a point system. It's actually quite a bit easier than getting a US green card.

Also the people who go on about work culture, xenophobia, or whatever other meme have obviously never lived here. Yep you can find bad jobs and there are racists, but at the end of the day Americans work more hours on average by OECD data and you are way more likely to be the victim of a hate crime in America (or even just killed by a cop). Japan isn't whatever stereotype you have about it and it isn't perfect. But having lived in America, Japan, and China, it's easily the best out of all 3, and my Chinese wife and her family feels the same way.

Lot of people worry about nonsense shit that doesn't matter instead of healthcare, quality of life, environment, safety, etc. I don't give a fuck about getting microaggressioned as a foreigner because it beats being randomly attacked because of your race or just straight up murdered by a cop or a random shooter or whatever else. I swear a lot of Americans are stuck in some kind of reality warp were they ignore the insanity going on around them.

Japan is not what you think it is for foreigners. You quality of life might be worse based on how they treat you, as well as less job opportunities.

My quality of life and job opportunities are already bad and I'm not even in Japan to make up for it.

Yeah, but at least they can't legally discriminate against you, Japan can flat out deny you for being foreign and tell you that to your face iirc

No it's not legal to discriminate against people but still happens, just like every other country in the world.

This was in 2002:

No shortage of similar cases. It's a matter of if people take the effort to go to the legal system.

Marth isn't a gimmick that's just who he is. And I lowkey wish him success if he's genuinely trying to expatriate. >_>

Neon's got a "post Usenet, pre Myspace" sense of internet humor that makes me nostalgic.

Unless youre a member of certain demographics that the GOP are currently legislating out of existence.
