Help putting on my Yukata?
Question:
I got a Yukata from Japan. (online). it has no under thing because some seem to have those, its just the yukata its self. its too long for me and i think i read somewhere that you roll it up and it came with a white cloth to use to die it up so it fits you, but it always comes undone. how do you properly put on a yukata like mine? i need no help with my obi bcause ts pre-tied. please and thank you! :D
Answer:
I'm assuming you're a woman and bought a woman's yukata. If that is the case, the yukata isn't actually too long because you're supposed to fold it up at the waist to create what is called an ohashori. Woman's yukata and kimono are supposed to be about as long as you are tall. Anyway, it's easier for you to figure out how to do this by actually seeing someone do it, so I suggest going to YouTube and looking for yukata dressing videos. Start with these two: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCZtGi21y… and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEGSemM22…
If you don't like those two, there are plenty more to choose from: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_qu…

Question:
im 19 years old mayb a lil to old to want to start becomin a surgeon..
but is it even possible for sumone like me an american to be a sucessful surgeon in Japan?

Chances are nill or No. The only foreign doctors in Japan are the ones who are successful in their own countries i.e they have their own practices and speak fluent Japanese and they are few of them. So just focus on your education and see where that takes you.
I have 2 Japanese people staying with me for 2 weeks.They do not speak English.What can I cook for them?
Question:
I live in rural Australia and eat Western food with my husband and two children. Our client has sent these two lads over for work experience. What can people recommend that I cook for them? I don't want to offend them in any way by cooking something they don't like. Please help.
Answer:
You don't have to cook Japanese food. Since they're coming to work in Australia, I'm kind of assuming they want to be there and would be interested in eating some real Australian home cooking. If you're concerned, why don't you contact your client and see if he or she has any information on what the Japanese guys might want to try, what they really like, or what they might not be able to eat?

J-pop artist recommondations?
Question:
I listen to arashi, koda kumi, utada hikaru, namie amuro, yui horie, akb48
I don't listen to jpop that much I listen to jrock, kpop and cpop more so thats why I don't know much groups or artists
btw whats with akb48's graduation concept? why do they do that? and what are their other groups SKE48
Answer:
@People correcting OP: Foreign fans tend to classify Japanese music (and Korean too infact) under 3 genres rock (being real bands that make ROCK music, not pop bands), hip-hop (rappers and all) and pop (everything else).
Solo-Singers
Nishino Kana
Ayumi Hamasaki
YUI
Maki Goto
BENI
Crystal Kay
Groups
SMAP
NEWS
Perfume
EXILE
Hey! Say! JUMP
KAT-TUN
°C-ute
S/mileage
W-inds
Bands
ikimonogakari
B'z
SID (edging on rock and pop)
WaT
AKB48's graduation concept is like that so that the group can stay for a long time (for example Morning Musume who also follows the graduation concept debuted in 1997 and is still here today, with a whole new set of members from the original). You don't have to worry though, most of the members that graduate are the undergirls, and I doubt any of the top 12 will graduate any time soon... except maybe Marikosama. She's hitting 25. :<
Besides AKB48, there's also SKE48 and NMB48 the localized versions of AKB. SDN48 on the other hand is the adult-version. Recently there's new group coming out called HKT48 which is aimed to become "rivals" to AKB.
.... There's also OJS48 which I find pretty funny.

I am traveling to japan wich places i must go?
Question:
Answer:
As most of the coastal area was affected by the tsunami, I suggest you go to Tokyo. I went to Tokyo and visited a hotel in the "countryside" (more like cityside to me haha) and caught a 45mins-1hour train into the heart of Tokyo, it's a very interesting place but if you want to know how to get on the train you will need to know japanese as you do not buy tickets from cash registers but from machines (you can change the language). Tokyo is a very unique place and the city is not dangerous whatsoever. Go there!
Transportation from haneda airport to osaka around midnight?
Question:
My plane arrives at haneda at 11 pm and I am trying to get to Osaka then. I have a friend who lives in Osaka-shi. How do I find a train or bus from the airport, and what stop would be closest to where my friend lives? Also, what would the prices be?
Thanks for any help!
Answer:
Train would be the Keikyū Airport Line, but that is gonna be fairly late for a connector to Osaka. There will be signs, in Japanese and English. You'd have to check scheduling, but if your plane is even a bit late, or you are slow to clear customs, you might have a wait. Never taken the bus, except to screw around between flights.
Frankly, I just don't see it happening. Like the guy below me said...just stay overnight at HAN...or change that God-awful arrival time. You will not like diddling around HAN all night...and I do not recommend any outside excursions unless you really know your way around and are pretty street wise.
Can you just fly from HAN to Osaka? ANA and JAL both fly there and it is SO much less of a hassle. The closer you get to Obon, big holiday (Usually the 15th in Kansai), the more crowded things are gonna get. The days between the 11th through the 22nd will be toughest.
Check the web for Keikyu Airport Line...and use a translate program, unless you can read Japanese. The folks at the airport will be there to help you as well. Still, that is NOT the best time for arrival, connection-wise.

Question:
I am booking a bus ticket and I picked the latest time on Thursday for departure; it says departing at 23:40 on Thursday, does that just mean 12:40 am on Friday? Because the bus arrives in Osaka at 8:30 am, around the time it should...I'm just a little confused! Thanks for the help!!!
Answer:
Thursday 24:40 = Friday 0:40 am.

Japanese Genki Book Edition 1 vs Edition 2?
Question:
I have downloaded the Genki: An integrated course to learning Japanese book (1st edition) for free. I have not started it. Would it be worth buying the 2nd edition of the book for £40 or just read through the first edition? What changes are there between the two editions? Thank you.
Answer:
If your even going to have a japanese book (which isnt very useful it only has polite japanese) you should only download. A better place to learn is online.
The following websites are the best websites for the following reasons,
http://www.123japanese.com
- Teaches FULL Japanese lesson free
- Polite, Casual and slang Japanese (all Japanese)
- Fully explains lessons
- Teaches kanji and kana aswell
- Has video lessons
- Books, vocabulary lists and verb lists to give you more info
- A forum to ask questions
- Lots of study materials
They also have a youtube channel
http://www.youtube.com/123japanesecom
http://www.japanesepod101.com
- Has many lessons and study aids
- polite and casual Japanese
- unfortunately not free, you only get 1 week free trial (but just keep signing up with fake email)
http://www.maggisensei.com
- It teaches random lessons
- Detailed lessons on wide variety of topics
- Casual and polite Japanese
- You can find a lot of stuff here you wont find anywhere else
What to stay away from.
- books. : books only teach polite Japanese and usually have general translations rather than explanations. Polite Japanese isn't even used in casual speach, and books don't have a lot of information.
- Websites with not a lot of explanations: when learning a language, its easyer if you get a good detailed explanation on the translation of something because a lot of times, something can't be directly translated.
China, japan: character amnesia? are kids forgetting the characters.. will characters die out in internet age?
Question:
INTERNET

GOOGLE: character amnesia in japan, china.
50,000 hanzi characters.
kids can see, recognize the characters, but cannot write them.
1. some want to dig a big big big big bib big big HOLE and bury Hanzi... ancient, backward, ugly characters...
2. some want to keep the characters...
3. internet age. information. age. computer age. electronic age.... will characters remain.. will characters die out????/
Answer:
-"kids can see, recognize the characters, but cannot write them"
That's why they are call "kids" instead of "adults".
-"1. some want to dig a big big big big bib big big HOLE and bury Hanzi... ancient, backward, ugly characters..."
Good for you.
-"2. some want to keep the characters..."
Good for them.
-"3. internet age. information. age. computer age. electronic age.... will characters remain.. will characters die out?"
There are 1.3 billion Chinese. Only 10% of them are able to own a computer. That's 1.17 billion people who do not use computers. What do you think?
When is a good time in life for a Japan visit?
Question:
I am 19 years old and going into my second year of uni this September (I plan to go 4 years). I keep reading about other young people on the internet who visit and even stay for extended periods of time. When/how would be good for doing this myself? (Or with friends, if I meet any who are interested by then).
I've never travelled before, and my parents will likely not be willing to finance any trip to Japan. What would be a good way to save for this so that it doesn't take me until I'm 30? Even if I got a job now I think my first saving priority would be university. I was thinking maybe a "uni is over" trip might be nice :/.
Answer:
Definitely not August. End of July to August is summer break for Japanese students, and prices to way up during that time. It could get up to $3000 just for airplane fees for the round trip. Also, if you're planning to stay with a student in Japan, don't go during their exam times. That's around March (because the school year ends in March) and June (before summer break). I've heard it can get extremely busy during those times. I think those are the only times I'm advising against it. The rest you can decide on whether you like hot or cold weather, events happening at your university, and things like that.
You would be surprised how much you can save up by starting a job now. You can save a certain percentage for your education and another for the Japan trip. Putting it in a bank can get you interest, and though that isn't much, it's still free money. Even if your parents aren't willing to pay for the entire trip, they might be willing to pay a part of it.
I want to live in japan?
Question:
if i have a tourist visa or something similiar and i get a job in japan while there can i stay
Answer:
Americans no longer need a visa for a visit up to 90 days. You do need a four year degree to qualify for a work visa though. Unless you have a special skill a Japanese doesn't have, there's little or no chance of finding work. Simple as that.
Contemporary Japanese Culture Question?
Question:
OK, this will probably something only a native Japanese, or someone who lives in, or who has lived in, Japan will be able to answer...but I am interested in answers from anyone. This isn't the sort of a question that is easy to ask face-to-face in Japan, so I thought I'd ask it here.
Anyone who has studied or loved Japan knows about the terms, "Weeaboo" and "Wapanese," as used to describe people, usually teenagers and young adults, who become obsessed with Japan and things Japanese. These are the folks who dream of becoming mangaka or anime artists, without ever having been to Japan...and, whose knowledge of the Japanese language is limited to "sugoi," "kawaii," and "desu." In other words, people who try to reduce Japan, and their image of Japan, to anime, manga, and J-Pop. Sometimes the terms are used jokingly, but other times as a pretty heavy insult. Be that as it may...
In my experience with living in Japan, studying Japan and Japanese culture and language, I have often come upon many Japanese kids and young adults who are obsessed with Western, especially US culture. This can be shown through the popularity of magazines like "Egg" and countless others. To put it mildly...just as many native Japanese are crazy about the West as US kids are about the "East." For example, I will never understand why so many Japanese liked the band, "Cheap Trick," when they could be listening to The B'z, Sambomaster, and Ikimono Gakari? LOL
Anyway, what are the terms that Japanese use to describe other Japanese that are as obsessed with the US as so many US kids are with Japan? I am not looking for racist terms...just the words used to describe people displaying this phenomenon.
Thanks

Has anyone done a homestay in japan?
Question:
I am hoping to do a homestay in Tokyo japan next year but I want to know about someones experience because i haven't done anything like this before. I am 16 so the host family will be putting me in a high school, if someone else has done this what was it like. Also will two weeks be long enough to get the full experience? And I am black British so I heard that I would be met with curiosity about my skin tone.
Answer:
I actually did a homestay program in Naka-shi, Japan, last summer! It was one of the best trips I'd ever taken. I learned a lot about their culture, which is saying a lot because I actually am Japanese and was born there. As to what you'll be expecting, it will depend on the family. They say Asian families are strict, but my homestay family was way more lenient and laid back than my family here. However, all ten of us that did the program all agreed that the families were extremely nice and considerate, and most of us were told to call the mother and father "Mom" and "Dad".
I think two weeks is good enough to get the experience as well as any foreigner could. We only got one week, but that was enough time to get used the family's regular schedules and to get to know how their family worked. And seeing as all of us cried when we had to go back, it was definitely enough time to get to know and to start caring about each other.
As long as you're in Tokyo, I don't think you'll get that many stares for your skin tone. After all, it is a city of tourist attractions. I actually saw about a dozen black men working in stores in Harajuku.

Bokken swords: cold steel vs. wooden?
Question:
Me and my friend are having this Zombie-apocalypse survival kit making contest, so by the end of it we can have people vote on who they think would survive longest. I've chosen a wooden sword/bokken as my main weapon, because one: I am a HUGE anime fan and thus like Japanese swords a lot, two it seems light to hold and to be low maintenance, and three it seems like it would be a decent weapon. But reading the reviews on these swords on Amazon, it seems that these things are not unbreakable. I have around 20$ left in my budget. I can either buy two wooden bokkens (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000EVPJXI/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&m=AWO5MMT7WRHRV , http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001GMQ28K/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&m=A1IP5Q3GWK9OUR) or one cold steel bokken( http://www.amazon.com/Cold-Steel-Bokken-Polypropylene-Handle/dp/B0009QRRUG/ref=sr_1_1?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1309703279&sr=1-1 ) . Honestly though, I don't think a wooden bokken would fall apart from brains/skull-smashing alone(zombie apocalypse, remember?). BUT a steel one is obviously more durable and can be used to break stuff, also doesn't rot like wood sometimes might. I'm leaning towards the wooden ones right now mainly because the wooden ones have cord-wrapped handles, which I like a lot(and the second one would go great with my shinigami cosplay), and I get two. What do you guys think? which one should I get?
Answer:
You seem to be REALLY knowledgeable on this matter. I seriously doubt that there will be anyone who can match the level you have reached on this issue.
I would thus propose that you make your own decision. Really, I think you know best. Use The Force.
And then keep your decision a secret, ok?
Can a small local cafe sponsor my visa in Japan with a full time position.?
Question:
I have an instructor visa that ends in August. I heard it's not difficult to change the visa type if you can find work that can sponsor it.
A cafe has offered me a job as a waiter and event organizer. It's only one shop with 4 people working there but they said they can give me a full time position but they have no idea what they need to do to sponsor my visa.
What does the cafe owner need to do (and what do I need to do) in order to make sure I can extend my visa?
Answer:
""The fact that I speak Japanese quite fluently and that I am probably more interconnected to the local community of the neighborhood than any native probably doesn't make a difference huh. What if I got a petition with 1000 names haha. I could do that in 3 days, I swear! ""
REALLY? SERIOUSLY??
So you speak Japanese "quite fluently" and you are interconnected and can get 1000 names on a petition, and the BEST YOU CAN DO is get a job as an English teacher or waiter at a 5 person cafe? SERIOUSLY. If that is the case you are doing something seriously wrong man.
None of those 1,000 people you can get to sign your petition, none of them work for a "real" company that can hire you to use your "quite fluent" Japanese skills? Seriously
You don't have to teach English for the rest of your life, but you seriously can't find anything better then a full time waiter job at a cafe with all your connections and skills?
If you are truly who you say you are, then you shouldn't really have a problem finding a job with the connections and skills you claim you have and get a sponsor at some company.
----
Well too dang bad man. Just grind a few more years until you do get married or get permanent residency then you can do whatever you want. That's what most foreigners do, and you ain't going to get anything special. Also you're preaching to the choir here, Immigration will be no different, some sob story about contributing to the local community and wanting to someday own your own business isn't going to fly with them. As mentioned by the other person, Japan doesn't have a visa status for the job you want to do in the first place, simple jobs like that don't have a status. So get a job that can keep you in Japan now, save your money, then work out your dream later, the faster you realize that, the better you are, otherwise pack up your bags now and prepare to leave.
What is the Tokyo fashion?
Question:
Wondering if the fashion in Japan/Tokyo is the same as here in the Netherlands.
I saw that the women dress more feminine but that's logical because of the whole cute image.
Now I was wondering if the boys also wear the jeans very low on their hips. It's a trend here that started a year ago I believe. Now it's pretty normal, you can always see a whole part of their underwear but it doesn't bother me anymore. So do the japanese boys do that too?
And if they do that.. What about their school uniforms, I know the schools are pretty strict, but you always have those kids who don't follow the rules right? ;) So are there any boys who also do it with their school uniforms?
Any other fashion trends I should know about?
Thanks!
Answer:
Not into fashion so I can't help that much. But I can tell you that there are quite a few students who wear their school pants hanging on their hips and their underwear showing. At least on the trains. The ones who do this seem to have the style down to an art as they have the overall look of someone who stayed up all night drinking the night before. Cute.
What sought of clothes do you have to wear when you go to Japan in Gifu Hashima.?

Which city should I go to for foreign exchange in Japan?
Question:
I will be going to Japan for my junior year of high school with a foreign exchange program.
I don't think I can choose the city since I will go where ever they have a host family for me, but I think it would help a lot if I could maybe suggest the city that I wanted to go to.
I want to be in a place where I can really learn about Japan. Which means; not too westernized, and not too many foreigners walking around. So I don't really wanna go to Tokyo.
I'd like to be in a smaller city that is still largely populated just not as much as Tokyo.
But I also want to be in a place that's close to the larger cities so I still have to opportunity to visit the big cities.
Thanks in advance! :)
Answer:
I think that your answer lies in your second sentence. If you have the chance of choosing between two or more host families THEN is the time to make a choice. Other than that, just indicate your desire when you fill out your application. There are just too many cities around Osaka, Tokyo and Nagoya alone to start naming them.
Japanese Guys: Should I ask him if he has a girlfriend via e-mail?
Question:
I am an American woman (half Japanese/ half black) living in Japan. I am tall 176cm, 60kg, tan skin with Japanese eyes, nice slim athletic body with long black hair. I stand out in Japan. I have dated a few Japanese guys in Japan, but my coworker is just so attractive to me, and he's taller than me.
I want to ask him if he has a girlfriend, but I can't ask him in the office without other coworkers hearing. I have worked with him for about 3 months.
I try to speak to him at least once a day when I am in the office. Because Japanese is my second language, there are many things I don't understand (for example ことわざ）so I asked him if I could e-mail him if I had some questions. He said yes, and we exchanged e-mails.
If he is not interested in me, it's OK. Rejection is part of dating and maybe not all Japanese guys are interested in dating someone like me. I would be disappointed, but more importantly, I don't want HIM to feel uncomfortable. He doesn't speak English so we only communicate in Japanese. If I ask him directly, he will know that I am interested, which I don't mind, but I want to avoid him feeling uncomfortable because we share the same work place. Any ideas?
Drinking parties are out, because I don't want any other coworkers to know that I am attracted to him. Should I ask him through e-mail?
Answer:
Wow you look so attractive and I do believe most of Japanese males would think so too. But please don't be such American as to ask directly via mail. We Japanese won't ask things directly as you might have known as Japanese is your 2nd language. Japanese males still would like to hold initiative specially on relationship, it won't give good impression even he has no gf and was attracted to you too. I suggest you to ask things (anything will do - Japanese culture or your concerns and make it in serious way) via mail and after having several advices from him, say "〇〇の件では相談に乗っていただいてどうもありがとうございました。今度お礼に お昼でも御馳走させてください” in formal way to keep proper distance. I think going lunch together for those reasons is allowed in Japanese business mannter. Then ask about his private life "お休みのときはいつも何をされているんですか？" to seek your answer. I think this way is very common way for Japanese girls to hint their interests. Hope you can have a good luck getting over cultural differences.
Finding large women's shoes in Japan?
Question:
I am a foreigner living in Japan, and I have been having a very difficult time finding large size shoes. I have pretty big feet.
In winter, I was able to wear some LL size boots, but in summer I want a pair of sandals and LL doesn't cut it.
I've tried up to 25.5 cm but I still need something bigger. So, the size, in Japan, should be over 40. Probably between 40-42 is okay.
But I have been to numerous shoe stores and I can't even find ANY sandals that size. I've even tried on 25.5 cm ones just hoping they will fit, but they are all too small.
Tokyo is far from where I live, as are most big cities, so is there any good website I can order large sized shoes from?
I've already thoroughly browsed Rakuten and found some size 40 shoes, but they are always out of stock >_>
Answer:
You can search by the word "モデルサイズ" (model size) or "大きい靴" on yahoo.co.jp or google, you will find many internet shops in Japan which has range of up to 27cm.
Here are some of those links:

What do people in Japan normally eat for breakfast?
Question:
I have always been curious.
Answer:
Depends on the person.
Some people eat rice and miso soup, as mentioned in a previous answer. That seems to be more traditional.
A lot of people will eat natto for breakfast, which is fermented soybeans. It's a food people either love or hate, but in Japan most people like it.
But, surprisingly, a lot of people actually eat toast with butter or jam. Bread is a very popular food in Japan and you'd be surprised at all the different types of "bread" they have at convenience stores.
And some people eat cereal, although it's not quite as popular as in the states.
