I don't know much about rental girlfriends, but if you can't get a girlfriend for a long time, you might want to try it. The system is quite simple: you choose a woman from a rental girlfriend site and pay her to be your girlfriend for a certain amount of time.

In Japan, the amount of money you need varies greatly between the city and the countryside, but if you want to live in the city, you can live on $1000~1400. You can do it very cheaply in the country.

is valorant more of a spectator sport for japan or are there just not a lot of japanese players that grinds the game?

how do you feel about the valorant scene in japan?

#25

QlQ

14

Frags

+

–

In Japan, there was no custom of playing games on PC. This is because of the popularity of Nintendo and PS. Then, when fortnite became popular, the number of people playing games on PC gradually increased. So it is not surprising that it is considered a spectator sport.
Also, I would like to talk about education in Japan. Because of the above, the profession of professional gamer has not penetrated the Japanese market. Therefore, it is difficult for Japan to develop esports to the level of Korea and China.
So Japanese teams can only rely on foreign players. However, there are several academy teams in Japan, so we may be able to expect more in a few years.

Do you think Zeta Division has to stay on full japanese rosters?
is it true that most people in there prefer to see Zeta on full Japanese rosters?
who do you think would be a great fill to new Zeta rosters?

personal question

Is it true that otaku there are seen as inferior humans?
does japanese people think their culture as superior since many foreign loves their culture/entertainment?
do you agree that Mushoku Tensei is peak anime/manga/LN :D

#42

QlQ

1

Frags

+

–

The biased zeta fan wants a full Japanese roster, but the normal people want them to win, so they don't care about nationality.
I think hiroron is a good fit for zeta, but I honestly can't predict their moves at all (no leaks at all).

it is true that in the past geeks were not thought well of... But now there is no such culture at all, so please come to Akihabara.
I don't mean to overestimate ourselves, but I am proud of our predecessors who created the anime and manga culture, and I admire people like you who love our culture.
I also like Mushoku Tensei, but my personal top anime is the Rascal series:)))

Apparently SK and Japan are xenophobic. I've seen multiple articles where they tell how they were secluded in public places and could not fit in the local culture and people talking on it on reddit. How true is that?

#48

Frags

–

I don't know about SK, but try to come to Narita or Haneda airport in Japan and talk to young Japanese people or people working there. Your suspicions will soon be confirmed and you will find that Japanese people welcome foreigners with open arms.
But old people should stop, for they often ignore even us Japanese and cut off communication with others.

Japanese, like English, is very different from written and spoken language. Therefore, if you want to be able to use Japanese in your daily life, it is faster to watch youtube videos that teach Japanese than to buy teaching materials. Also, as I mentioned earlier, speaking with Japanese people is the best way to improve your Japanese.

As for the games in general, fortnite and apex were very good. Not only the results, but also the player base seemed to be very strong. I am speculating, but maybe Japanese people are better suited for battle royale games.
About the games. Nintendo games are very popular in Japan. I also love Pokemon.

As for restaurant recommendations, I recommend this one in Hokkaido, although it is expensive. https://hanakoji-sawada.com/

Are fighting games popular with the younger generation of Japan? I know fighting games were huge when arcades were very popular, but with arcades losing popularity and more PC gaming happening in Japan I was curious if younger people still care about games like street fighter or guilty gear.

To be honest, I had never heard of this issue until I saw this video. I don't think it has spread to a social problem in Japan just because there is somewhat such a problem.

Well the second reason in the video is bitter sweet I think. I'm not Japanese so I don't know if it's more prevalent in Japan than anywhere else, but kids who reach fame at a very young age can have a lot of problems later in life. Some Disney Channel actors for example

Are there a large number of Brazilians in Japan? I'm asking this because Brazil is the country with the most Japanese people outside of Japan, so I wanted to know if the opposite also happens. Here in São Paulo we even have an entire Japanese city (liberdade)

I’m a high school senior right now and still live in the US. I think I might want to live in Japan someday, but honestly I’m not quite sure. I go to Japan every year to see my grandparents, though. I always have a blast. Have you been to the US before?

No, I haven't. My great-grandmother is of European descent and I have never actually been abroad. I wanted to study abroad in the U.S. during this summer vacation, but I was too busy studying for the entrance exam and didn't have time to do so.

I’ve been learning a bit of Japanese the past year. I know many words and sentences (numbers, times, asking for something, directions, etc.) But Kanji has been a pain in the ass because each kanji can have a different meaning or the word itself can have different kanji. So as a native Japanese, do you still struggle with kanji or is it a basic thing to get down in childhood?
Ideally, would you like to see Koreans or other imports on the ZETA roster? I personally wouldn’t.

#192

QlQ

I learned all the kanji that I use in my daily life in my childhood. However, we still study Kanji because we learn difficult Kanji that we do not use in Japan. The reason why we study kanji is because they are used in entrance exams for high school and university.
I don't think it is necessary to have only Japanese roster because now we are not playing games in JP region as in the past but as PACIFIC. But realistically, it is a very difficult decision because Japanese people's English skills are so low that if we make a multinational roster, they may not be able to communicate well with each other.

Voyeurism on trains has become a social problem in Japan. Recently, efforts have been made to improve the situation, such as the installation of security cameras on trains and the creation of women-only cars.
I hope to see that kind of crap eliminated as soon as possible.

Why has your culture become so overly feminine over the last century? This has happened in the west aswell, but not to the same extend and your culture always have been based on very masculine values. Discipline, fighting, honor... Japanese people used to be the most badass people in the world.

I am honestly just curious lol, what happened there?
