@SaGa_NeilB Localizing is such an honor. You get to use your personal expertise and experience to connect people across the world. Why they would do this, and why they didn’t figure it’d immediately get neutralized, is beyond comprehension.

I read about the Yunyun Sundrome localization. When i talk about localization not being a one-to-one, I certainly don’t mean that the text gets hacksawed and refurbished into a Frankenstein’s monster. It’s a shame that some translators think that’s in any way appropriate.

@HikikomoriMedia I just want to confirm, I’m gonna watch your video later, but you’re saying Sony is removing licenses to digitally purchased games you don’t play for a period of time???

Fill it out

@Genki_JPN Side note, I saw that video for the first time recently. Did the 90’s just have a massive gas leak or were we just cool with that?

Resident Evil 2 director Hideki Kamiya revealed that Leon's name was inspired by the movie "Leon the Professional"! "At the time of development, I consulted with Mr. Mikami about the naming of the main character. After a few suggestions were rejected, I said 'Well, how about taking it from the movie we saw the other day?' and I proposed 'Leon'. He replied 'Sounds good'." - Hideki Kamiya

@kinglinzhuhui “Ah yes, now that we are facing a crude oil shortage, let me support the nazi party. Why no, I don’t read history books, why do you ask?”

🚨On April 26, 2026, Japanese right-wing extremists paid homage to the NAZIS on the bustling streets of Shinjuku.

@max358japan I like the dude who instinctively grabbed the guy to help him come back in. That’s beautiful.

@mrjeffu They say it’s baby body, but the small text says “100% beef”. Which is it @BURGERKINGJAPAN

Why did Burger King Japan give their latest mega burger a name that sounds like something conspiracy theorists think that the illuminati would secretly eat in underground tunnels?

@CacheThatCheque I don’t have a purse, so lemme ask: Ladies, is it common to carry around loose prescription drugs in your purse?

Bring back sakoku. 90% of gaijins in Japan are retarded

@baypinar35 Their sign says they don’t sell to Americans or Japanese. Seems more like a proble with the business than the customers.

要らん

@UnseenJapanSite I know bullying isn’t the highest factor, but I think it contributes to the “unease” cited at #1. I did do a deep dive of bullying in Japan If anyone is curious: Why Bullying in Japan just got worse... youtu.be/GtgRtP9B6rk

School refusal in Japan topped 350,000 in 2025. That's the 12th straight year of increases. Toyokeizai reports ~140,000 are isolated at home without adequate support, and municipal responses are uneven.

@mrjeffu They’re already talking potential scheduled blackouts this summer.

An energy and commodities columnist at Bloomberg went viral after reposting a video that highlights the serious energy crisis that Asia is facing. The clip was originally uploaded by a Japanese account that has been constantly trying to downplay the situation and praise Prime Minister Takaichi's policy of telling the public not to worry about conserving energy.

@Sakenmilove 許してもらえるんやなくて、暴力を振るってくるんちゃう？

3000縁払えば暴力行為許してもらえるらしくて神

@regularaugust Pretending it stopped being a documentary is typical frieza propaganda

@UnseenJapanSite Yeah, I can understand why people might not like “C men”

In Japan, some women are told to avoid dating the "three C men": cameramen, creators, and — yes, really — men who make their own curry roux from scratch. The supposed red flag? Being too fussy.

@buzz_video_buzz I didn’t forget it I was just saving it for the ride home

ツナマヨ忘れてますよ

@ENJU1123PIPI The great thing about Japan is that if they agree to something, they agree to it. It’s common in the west to quickly say “oh yeah sure” then immediately forget about it. There’s good parts about everyone!

日本🇯🇵では はっきり「NO」と言わない文化がある🌿 「ちょっと難しいかもしれません…」 「検討します」 「そうですね〜」 全部NOの意味だったりする 海外の人が 日本人と仕事をして 一番困ることのひとつらしい あなたの国では 断るときはっきり言う？🌍🥺

@Saffron_Sniper1 Who is making him do this? Couldn’t he just not do this?

McDonald’s CEO dropped a video to shut down rumors that he never eats his own McDonald’s food… Bro takes one bite, chews twice, then spits it straight into a napkin like it’s radioactive waste 😂

@shinobu_books Now Japan can experience the average waffle house experience

Third guy is still trying to check out customers while his co-workers are brawling in front of the deep fat fryer. Chotto matte kudasai!

@Dexerto Everyone knows Domino’s Japan and their hubris is a threat to us all, but we’re all too scared to do anything about it.

Domino's Japan has announced a massive "Ultra Cheese" pizza that uses 2 pounds of mozzarella

@historigins If you can find the whole video it’s super interesting. The dog also gets fed by pretty much everyone, has a girlfriend, and even takes baths with one of the neighbors. Quality TV!

In 1992, a woman asked a Japanese TV show to find out why her dog had gotten so chubby, so the show decided to follow him around as he went about his daily routine in a Japanese town
