This is Akko's (my sister-in-law) first video that she made from start to almost finish (I did some minor tweaks on the editing side). She filmed, wrote the script, and edited the whole thing. She even narrates! I'm really proud of how far she's come. - Greg

Just a short note. We didn't do any extensive testing. We could have tried many more rice cookers, different qualities of rice, and had chefs cook and test the rice. This was simply a little experiment with our family and friends. We hope it gives you a basic insight into Japanese rice and rice cookers.

Watch Being Japanese on YouTube. Part 1 youtu.be/pmzWknYaNXg and part 2 youtu.be/iYMmsiDsHrg
You can watch the What Japanese REALLY Eat for Breakfast video at youtu.be/HqlSqHQZFpg
I spent 3 years making a documentary, asking the question, "What is Being Japanese?"
This is kind of my rough draft for a more formal video I'd like to main on the main Life Where I'm From channel. So what kind of questions do you have, what would you like to see?
Also, since I didn't research anything before recording this video, I may have gotten some things wrong. So if you see any mistakes, please don't hesitate to let me know.

I have an edited video on the main channel at youtu.be/mQZJDY2afCk
Because I know people will ask, here's a list of all the thermoses that I own that I could find. It's not exhaustive. Note 1: Some of the links are Amazon referral links, but don't feel any pressure to buy using those links. Note 2: Yen prices already include Japan's 10% consumption tax. I don't know how taxes work on Amazon US, but the $ prices are what I saw listed on the site. Note 3: If it's a Japanese bottle being sold in the US or vice versa, the prices are usually much more expensive.

Special thanks to David Chart for the information about Shinto. Check out his Shinto essays at patreon.com/mimusubi/.
And of course special thanks to Yamamoto Sensei who helped research and answer the questions. If you're interested in private online Japanese lessons, she teaches at nihongo-pro.com/online-japanese-teachers#yamamoto-miki. The sign-up process is a bit of work, just so you know, but the actual lessons are great, so it's worth the effort. I think she's almost all booked up at the moment, but there are other teachers.

He wrote a great series of posts on Reddit about going to learn Japanese in Japan which I’d highly recommend you read if you’re considering doing the same thing reddit.com/r/LearnJapanese/comments/2on8s0/so_you_want_to_or_are_thinking_about_studying/.
This interview was part of a series of interviews I did about learning Japanese (and language in general). If you haven't, go ahead and watch part 1, 2, and 3.
Part 1 - Learning Japanese in Japan: youtu.be/5Ul2XCIX3Qk
Part 2 - Teaching Japanese Online (and Learning English): youtu.be/180QqVB2IKw
Part 3 - Teaching Japanese at a Japanese Language School:youtu.be/YzSzkYaBlT4
Part 5 will be with me, trying to figure out why I still suck at Japanese after 5 years of living in Japan.
If you've studied language abroad and then returned back to your country, what was your experience like?

Questions:
00:20 - Why? Who is asking for this? Is it just an ego thing, no offense?
4:33 - How does the Japanese political system work? Check out Yuta's videos youtu.be/wHRmbAyW5lM and youtu.be/OA6eVXq422g
5:25 - For the documentary, where do you plan to visit?
6:48 - How important do you think the observance of traditional religious rites -- even if practised only two or three times a year -- is to Japanese self-identity?
8:48 - How long will production of the documentary take?
10:03 - I just wanted to say that I thoroughly enjoy the content you're making.
10:24 - Can't you just get a job?
12:52 - It's important this documentary not exist instead of the vlog videos but rather alongside them.
14:33 - Foreigner living in Japan suffers identity crisis, decides to make YouTube video about it. WOW HOW ORIGINAL.
16:59 - What's your budget?
17:47 - Most Japanese think that this video is for propaganda of globalizationnal SJW. Its the answer.

By the way, Miki Yamamoto (the teacher I interviewed) just started doing one-on-one Japanese lessons online at nihongo-pro.com/online-japanese-teachers.
This interview was part of a series of interviews I did about learning Japanese (and language in general). If you haven't, go ahead and watch part 1 and 2.
Part 1 - Learning Japanese in Japan: youtu.be/5Ul2XCIX3Qk
Part 2 - Teaching Japanese Online (and Learning English): youtu.be/180QqVB2IKw
Part 4 will be with a Japanese language learner that's been back and forth between the U.S. and Japan a couple times.
Part 5 will be with me, trying to figure out why I still suck at Japanese after 5 years of living in Japan.
If you've been to a Japanese language school, what was your experience like?

- 0:21 Do kids in Japan scream and cry at register because Mom didn't get the waffles?
- 1:18 Can you comments on product branding and marketing of groceries?
- 2:15 Are there products marketed towards kids?
- 3:31 Is it normal to stock up on a few weeks worth of groceries at one time? What are the most common "must have" items you would find in any Japanese pantry?
- 4:59 For muslims, how often are there non-halal ingredients that I would have to look out for at restaurants or at the grocery store?
- 6:33 What kinds of foods do everyday work week meals consist of?
- 7:32 In Canada (as you know), usually a farmer's market produce is MASSIVELY higher priced than in the supermarket's although the quality is better. How does it compare in Japan?
- 9:53 Some price comparisons to the US/Canada standard of living would be interesting.

- 15:54 Why are there so many milk options? We only really have 3 here in the US and what I've seen in Canada, no fat, low fat, and "full" fat. Then there's half and half and cream. There seemed to be 20 options in Japan.

I used to only record the answers for Patreon supporters, but I wanted to start sharing with everyone, since not everyone is able to financially contribute. If you do support on Patreon, you get the perk of getting to ask a question each month and getting an answer. It's at least something small I can do for all your support. But what I'd also like to try in the following months is answer a few questions from Twitter, FaceBook, and Instagram. So make sure to follow me there if you'd like to ask a question next month.

This is the long version of the interviews. For the short 30 minute version please check it out at youtu.be/4fTrOmDrDgU
**CORRECTION: It's illegal to not pay overtime, even for full-time employees. There can be some exceptions for management. So I was wrong in saying that full-time employees don't typically get paid overtime. Sorry for the screw up.
Special thanks to all those that all the interviewees that let me barrage them with questions.

Music by Epidemic Sound http://www.epidemicsound.com
- When you're out in the city and want a quick meal, what restaurant or food would you recommend?
- If someone at school asked your kids what your work is, what would they answer?
- What in your life has changed most since moving to Japan
Often in the western world there is a bit of stigma around jobs such as retail working, working at fast food places, receptionists, etc etc. They are thought off as bad jobs and something for teenagers, retirees, uneducated people, lazy people, you get the picture. Particularly the middle class seem to promote this stigma. Is it similar in Japan?
- Is your family watching the Olympics much?
- I'd like to see you go to an alpaca farm!
- Would you consider doing a documentary on the war?
- Can you talk a bit about the difference between JR and the local city metros?
- In one of your videos I remember noticing that one of the girls was very clearly writing with her left hand. Now, I'd always understood that Japan has traditionally come down very heavily on naturally left-handed children, more or less forcing them to use their right hand for writing etc. Is this no longer the case?
- What plans do you have for Aiko and Shin's future education?

Steady-ish shots:
For those wondering, the stabilizer used is the Zhiyun Crane. It allowed me to capture scenes I normally wouldn't as I was walking from one place to another. It's not completely smooth though, as a lot of footage has some bounce if you pay attention. If I would have walked with a more ninja-like step, I probably could have cut it down somewhat.
People not staring:
The nice thing about the handheld stabilizer, is that it wasn't as obvious when I was filming, due to way I was holding it. People did look at the camera here and there, but not as much as if I would have used a tripod, or if I stuck my face behind the camera at all times. Depending on where I was, I would just hold the camera at stomach level and not look at the camera, so you wouldn't know I was filming. It probably looked like I was carrying my camera going from one place to the next as opposed to looking like I was actively filming.
Face masks:
Totally anecdotal, but I hear half the reason is to wear while sick to prevent spread of germs, half is to not get sick, and if a lady is wearing, it may be because she didn't feel like putting on makeup. Air quality is fine, no problem there.
Camera setup:
Sony a7sii with Sony 16-35mm f4, 24-240mm f3.5-5.6, and 55mm f1.8 lenses. Most is shot using the 16-35mm lens.

That being said, there are some big concerns I have with my family being in Japan, as well as some big reasons why I love living in Japan. Today I won't talk about either of those big pros and cons.
Instead, I'm going to do the opposite of the pet peeves video and discuss 12 little things I like about living in Japan. Stuff that didn't make me move here, but stuff that I enjoy nonetheless.
We now have a Patreon page to help fund our social documentaries about Japan patreon.com/lifewhereimfrom.
