I was addicted to smartphones, so I switched to flipphone. I wrote a book about that experience.

- Hello!
I'm Mikan, a Japanese writer!
Thank you for always watching my videos.
Today I will introduce my book!
www.amazon.co....
This is a book I wrote,
``I want to stop being a slave to my smartphone.''
This book is based on my actual experience.
I've been addicted to my smartphone for four years since I got my first smartphone.
From the time I woke up in the morning to the time I went to sleep, I kept an eye on my smartphone in the bath, toilet, and even during class.
I was desperate for likes on social media.
When I received fewer likes than my previous post, I felt like I was being rejected.
Because of my desire for approval, I also lied a lot in my social media posts.
I received calls from suspicious people, slander and slander, which had a negative impact on my physical and mental health.
But I couldn't quit because the people around me were also addicted to smartphones, and smartphone addiction is the majority of modern people.
It's peer pressure.
Everyone in the world doesn't see ``smartphone addiction'' as a problem.
No one in the world sees ``smartphone addiction'' as a problem.
Because it's "normal".
However, I realized that being addicted to smartphones is difficult.
I realized that many people have become ``slaves to their smartphones.''
It's not that everyone is ``using a smartphone,'' but rather that they are ``being used by their smartphone.'' It seems that smartphones are dominating and subjugating humans.
Although I noticed that
It's hard to break free from being "the same as everyone else."
People will tell you that you're "weird" or "weird."
There were times when I thought, ``I have to be addicted to my smartphone because everyone else is addicted to it,'' but I realized that for the sake of my mental health, I had to quit using my smartphone.
I was worried, but I decided to switch from my smartphone to a dumbphone (flip phone).
Mental health is very comfortable. It gives you peace of mind.
I'm glad I chose dumbphone.
If I had continued to use my smartphone, it would have become useless. It's horrifying.
I know the fear of smartphone addiction. I also know the importance of digital detox and the benefits of dumbphone.
However, ``smartphone addiction'' is still not considered a problem.
It is disrespected.
That's very scary.
So I want the world to know more about this.
So I wrote a book.
But for now, only the Japanese version is available.
Smartphone addiction is a global problem!
One of my goals is to publish an English version.
I would also like to publish a Chinese version, French, Italian, and German.
I would be happy if you were interested in this book.
I'm sorry, my English is not good
There is no English version of my book, but there are English translations of articles I wrote for Japanese newspapers, and English articles I wrote for the Japan Times, a Japanese English newspaper.
Check them out.

You're english was very good! The book sounds interesting. Im very interested in the idea of using dumbphones, I am 16 years old and for the majority of my life i never used a smartphone. However after getting one for my 15th birthday, i was addicted. I was using my phone for upwards of 6 - 7 hours a day!! It was crazy!!! I now am more mindful and aware of my usage of my smartphone, and am now transitioned to using a dumbphone (specifically a docomo flipphone).
Thank you for your comment.
I'm still learning English, but I'm glad you said that.
Smartphones are convenient, but I think they can be so convenient that you can become a "slave to your smartphone."
Dumbphones aren't as convenient as smartphones, but they are good for your mental health.
So you use a dumbphone too!
That's great.
I hope that this idea becomes more known around the world.
I actually saw a few of your comments under videos from few years ago about people giving up their smartphones since I am also looking into getting an older phone. So glad to see the book finally published! Congratulations! 🎉🎉
@@vanessa40834
Thanks for your comment! And you also saw the comment I made earlier! It's an honor. At that time, I made comments to various people because I wanted the world to know about digital detox. However, if I have something to say, instead of commenting on other people's videos, I try to make my own videos, so that's what I'm doing now. The book is only available in Japanese now! My current goal is to publish an English version. (I have been sending emails to overseas publishers, but I have not received any replies yet...!) Please check out the other videos if you like.
I think the reason nobody sees smartphone addiction as a problem is because they (we) are addicted. When you are addicted to something you will fool yourself thinking you aren't. Wether it is a smartphone or chocolate or drugs. Even when you are honest with yourself and realise you have an addiction (which is hard to admit in itself), it is still very hard to quit. I've heard more recently from others saying they feel trapped by their phones. And if you ask them if they really want to spend all those hours on the phone they will say no, but they will continue doing it. I'm the same.
When I try stop using it, I feel bored and restless. Not stimulated. That is not because doing nothing and being in the present is boring and unstimulating. It's because I'm/we are experiencing withdrawals. Just like you would crave chocolate or drugs when you try stop quitting those things. When you have detoxed and are over the withdrawals, then being in the present, not doing anything, is actually very peaceful and nice. It's not boring at all. It's not stressful. If you wait just feeling, not even thinking about anything (because the conscious is more than thoughts, always thinking is also noise) you will feel at peace. And if you wait your brain will make new and creative thoughts and ideas all on its own.
It is very difficult to quit an addiction when you have the thing you are addicted to right in your pocket. The solution is to get rid of the smartphone. I ordered a flip-phone and I'm excited to not scroll on my phone anymore. My brain is always drowned in noise, never a moment of peace. I read somewhere, the solution to an alcoholic is "to take the alcohol out of the house". And I think it's the same if you are a smartphone- or choco-holic :D When you realise you can't control yourself you have to remove the chocolate or smartphone, or whatever else you find yourself addicted to that you want to stop.
I hope your book comes in english in the future so I can read it
@@someone-sl3fs
thank you! I think that's really true.
I hope that more people, like you, can realize that they are addicted to their smartphones, overcome the withdrawal symptoms, and find a sense of freedom.
I'm glad I gave up my smartphone.
However, the world is still addicted to smartphones.
For example, let's say there is a person who is addicted to alcohol.
Let that person cure his addiction and live a normal life! That's what I thought...
The water coming out of the tap has turned into alcohol! Even the water served at restaurants contains alcohol! Something like that.
The current state of smartphone addiction.
Digital detox is becoming a hot topic, and I hope that changes soon. I hope my book can help with that.
I will do my best to achieve my goal of publishing an English version.
Thank you for your comment!
Have a good digital detox too.
I think I know what you mean. Our environment has become very smartphone centric in daily life everywhere.
Only last week I walk into a restaurant to find out you need a smartphone, because to order you have to scan the QR code on the table and order online through the phone. When I’m actually sitting inside the restaurant :D
Having always access to internet and social media that’s designed to be addictive is such a bad combo. Smartphone changed everything so fast and got so quickly integrated in our environment. It’s not fair, we didn’t become addicts all by our own fault.
I think it’s good what you’re doing, I hope the book is a success and helps many people and I anticipate English release 🙏 I hope my brain is not too deep fried to read a book
@@someone-sl3fs Thank you for your comment!
That's certainly true.
In Japan, too, there are more and more restaurants where you can order using a smartphone and a QR code.
I try not to go to those kinds of restaurants.
I feel pressured to conform, that "you have to have a smartphone," "you have to be smartphone dependent," and "smartphones are the majority."
And it makes me feel sad and angry.
People who want to do a digital detox like me and don't want to have a smartphone.
And then there are people who can't use smartphones... for example, the elderly or people with disabilities, for whom a world based on smartphones is a big barrier.
There is a visually impaired comedian in Japan named Hamada Yutaro.
He said in the media, "There are a lot of restaurants these days that use QR codes to order. People with visual impairments sometimes leave without being able to order."
I know people who have brain disorders and can't use complicated devices like smartphones.
I think a world based on smartphones is discriminatory against people with disabilities.
I woke up to digital detox because I suffered from smartphone addiction, but now I feel that smartphones cause various problems.
I'll do my best to publish a translation in English and spread this idea to the world.
Thank you.
If I ever manage to publish a translated version, I'll let you know here. Please read it.
I can't read Japanese but I ordered the ebook version using a proxy. I'm using DeepL to read the book and it's a wonderful perspective. I hope that there's English version that are able to convey your words, ideas and nuance properly someday. Hello from Malaysia by the way. :DD
@@noruparry
Wow!
From Malaysia! ?
thank you.
I’m impressed 😭
He translated and read it for me.
...I feel very honored. (It may be difficult to understand because there are many figurative expressions that refer to anime unique to Japan. I'm sorry if I don't understand well 😭💦)
And I'm really, really happy with the feedback.
I hope someday I can publish a translated version in your native language.
thank you🩷🩷! ! !
Hi !! Your book seems really interesting, I too had a severe phone addiction, i still kind of do. It makes me happy seeing more and more people realising that this is a real issue ! Plus your english is very good. Greetings from argentina 🇦🇷
So you're from Argentina!
Thank you for taking the time to comment.
Japan and Argentina are far apart, but I'm honored that we can be connected by this one issue.
The negative effects of smartphones, smartphone addiction, are truly serious worldwide.
I'm writing a book about smartphone addiction like this.
If I own a smartphone and let my guard down, I feel like I'll go back to being a "smartphone slave."
That's how addictive it is! It's frightening.
But the dangers of this problem aren't seriously discussed...it's being overlooked.
I will do my best to educate people about the horror of this problem through videos and books!
Thank you for your comment!
I would be happy if you would watch my other videos as well.
I want to congratulate you for publishing a book and talking about addiction. However I don't think people suffer from smartphone addiction. I think people suffer from internet and social media addiction. If you use a smartphone without internet, you won't become addicted. That's my opinion anyway.
@@Player-re9mo
Thank you very much for your comment.
And I'm glad that you shared your valuable opinions.
Smartphone addiction.
That's a general statement, but I think there are various addictions behind the smartphone screen.
For example, in Japan, girls rely on social media (like Instagram).
However, I feel that many boys are addicted to smartphone games.
TikTok and RUclips are popular for both boys and girls.
I don't have any special data, just what I feel.
Easy to understand ``Smartphone addiction.'' ', but it might have been better to word it a little differently.
Thank you for your valuable opinion.
In this way, I publish books, shoot videos, and carry out awareness activities.
However, I am still an inexperienced person.
So your opinion was instructive.
thank you.
If you notice anything else, please feel free to let me know.
I'm sorry if my English isn't good and it's hard to understand!
Thank you for reading☺

I feel honored.
I want to publish a translated version and let the world know about the dangers of smartphone addiction...I will do my best to achieve that goal!
thank you!
Please check out the other videos if you like.
I would like to purchase this book someday. I do admit I mostly go on phone first thing in the morning (mostly when off work) and it is a habit I avoided for years - however I started again due to depression.
In my teenage years, my smartphone usage was worse because I never turned my phone off. I would text via Twitter in early mornings and would be overly addicted to social media. I don't have many socials in my life now besides IG and the RUclips channel to post content weekly which counts for something.
I do want to improve my use with technology, one thing I've been doing is putting my phone in bag when walking or out with people closest to me. I have a long way to go but will try my best.

Thank you very much for your comment☺.
It is also an honor to subscribe to the channel.
Translating the English version is a big goal of mine.
Smartphone addiction is a serious problem worldwide, so I want to help solve the problem.
It's still a long way off, but I'll do my best.

Your awareness of digital detox is wonderful.
It's very important.
Thank you for sharing your valuable experience with us.
I hope you continue to have a good digital detox!♥✨
Hey! Saw you on Reddit, I think someone shared your video on the dumb phone subreddit, would love to buy your book once you're ready 😁
Thank you for your comment.

I'm also interested to hear about your experience of digital detoxing from smartphone addiction.
I hope that digital detoxes spread throughout the world.
I am looking to buy a Sharp SH06G for work and a Mode 1 retro 2 for when going out. I am addicted to my smartphone and hate it. I believe both flip phones will work on the UK network. Great channel!
Thank you for your comment.
That's wonderful!
I hope that this kind of thinking will spread more widely.
I also hate smartphone addiction, I'm fed up with it.
But smartphone addiction has become the majority in the world now, it's become the norm.
Smartphone addiction is being overlooked.

I'm still learning English, but by making videos in English like this,
It's a great honor to be seen by people from so many countries.

I'm glad there are people who feel the same way!
I feel lonely because smartphone addiction is still looked down upon in Japan (peer pressure is strong in Japan).
But I'm glad to be able to interact with people who feel the same way, even if we're from different countries(๑´`๑)♡🩷
I understand how you feel. anytime I see footage from Japan I see people sitting or standing and looking down into their phone 📱😢

Thanks for your comment✨!
And thank you for sharing!
“I want to stop being a slave to my smartphone”…The title of my book is a bit extreme.
But when I really looked around, everyone was staring at their smartphone screens.
Even the baby in the stroller!
This has become a common sight.
And no one questions it.
I think it's very scary.
I think digital detox is very important because I was addicted to my smartphone.
I wrote this book because I wanted to convey this to Japanese people.
I'm filming a video because I want people all over the world to know about it.
(And someday I would like to publish a translated version worldwide. That is my goal.)
i am also addicted to my phone :(
@@DominicGo
Nowadays, everyone is addicted to smartphones...so maybe it can't be helped.
But if you're dependent on it, you'll get tired.
- Turn off the power for one hour a day.
or
・Turn off the power at 8pm.
or
・Do not look at the screen on the train
I recommend starting with a digital detox, even if it's just something small!
Have a good digital detox☺!

I was very particular about the cover!
People are tied to chains that extend from their smartphones.
It may be a little scary, but I think most people today are in this state.
Smartphone addiction is a serious problem, but it's being ignored, and it's almost like it's taboo to talk about it.
That's a big problem.
I would like to see a global effort to solve this problem.
I used to be addicted to my smartphone, but I'm really glad I used a flipphone (dumbphone).
So I want more people to know about this.
So I'll try harder!

@@みかん-m8u4e Yes! Your book seems so interesting! I will get the book when you have been able to translate it!
Oh yes. I really like that the person is chained to their smartphone which really feel like real life, but an invisible chain.
I agree that smartphone addiction is a serious problem. Yeah it is like a taboo to talk about it. I am really happy that Mikan-San is bringing up the problem and have even written a book about it! That is great! I believe that this is a beginning of a global effort to solve the problem! Everything needs to start somewhere and by the right person!
It's so cool that you could admit that you were addicted to it and that you were strong enough to change to a dumbphone! I think I have a minor addiction and it would be nice to change things up. I have taken a big interest in dumbphones now too so it might be time for it.

oh! Thank you for the links to the store Mikan-san! It's located in Akihabara! cool! I'm sad I didn't know of it when I visited Japan and Akihabara but it's great that they ship overseas! I will look more on the website and see if I can find a phone I'm interested in!
Thank you again for helping me with my Digital detox Mikan san
🙏❤

There are many shops in Akihabara that sell flipphones and dumbphones!
I hope you can find a good shop🥰!
I am very interested!! Thanks
I'm happy you're interested.
Thank you.
My book is only available in Japanese at the moment.
But smartphone addiction is not just a problem in Japan, it's a global problem.
One of my goals now is to publish a translated version that is global.
I'm working hard to upload videos like this.
If you'd like, please check out my other videos too!
i'll be learning japanese just to read your books
@@powerdollkirby
thank you!
I'm really, really happy.
Japanese is very difficult, so I will do my best to produce an English translated version.
I've been trying to email publishers overseas, but I haven't received any replies. Hmm.
However, I will continue posting videos and transmitting information on RUclips without giving up.
Aiming for the day when a publisher finds me!
I would like to publish translated versions in English and other languages around the world.
Because smartphone addiction is a global problem.
@@みかん-m8u4e yeah but japanese sounds really cool
no worries don't rush the english version
ill be watching your future videos, keep going ♡
@@powerdollkirby
thank you. I won't be able to make the translated version come true by myself...but I'll do my best to make it happen! Please continue to watch over us.
Im here just for you 😘
Thank you!
I will do my best to improve my English skills so that I can meet your expectations.
I will also post videos that will help you learn about dumbphone and digital detox.
I will post more videos so I would be happy if you would take a look.
@user-ti6ef7jd3l honey, your English is fine as a wine 👌🏼 the whole world loves english with a Japanese accent
@@MrTirupur
Thank you!
Accents are still difficult!
I'll study more.
@@みかん-m8u4e but yours are very beautiful 😍
I was thinking about it and this showed up, thanks..
@@Focando.....4 Thank you for your comment.
I'm very happy that you found my video.
I'm not good at English, but
I would be honored if it was helpful to you!
I think smartphone addiction is a global problem.
This book is only available in Japanese at the moment.
But I hope to publish a translation into many languages, including English, one day!
My hope is that more people will learn about digital detox and dumbphone.
Please check out my other videos if you like.
@user-ti6ef7jd3l absolutely your channel is a treasure for students like me who are trying to take studying more serious because smartphones made it a joke, i will try to get your book as soon as i can, your English is good and languages doesn't really mean a thing except a way of communication so as long as we understand you everything is fine, i really like your philosophy about dump phones so keep it going because your work is great!!
@@Focando.....4 Thank you!
I'm honored that you call my videos a treasure.
I hope that one day my books will become your treasures as well.
You're a student.
I think the temptation of smartphones also affects students' studies.
When I was a university student, I sat at the back of the classroom, and everyone would pretend to take notes but secretly look at their smartphones under their desks.
Even if you try to study, if there's a smartphone around, you can't help but look at it. Your smartphone takes away your concentration.
Smartphone addiction and digital detox are still not well known in Japan.
But I will do my best to make them more known in Japan, and around the world.
Thank you so much!!!
@@みかん-m8u4e i really do respect what you're trying to do because just imagine a life without having to stick to the smartphones all the time it would be so great!
@@みかん-m8u4e quick update: just took a deep look into the channel and it's absolutely phenomenal, keep up the good work, and thanks for encouraging me to get a dumb phone!
Hopefully someday you will release an english version! Thanks for spreading awareness ❤
@@OMundodaTutu
Thank you for your comment!
Every day, I send e-mails in English to overseas publishers! Publishing an English version is a big dream.
But I definitely want to make it come true! This is because we want to reduce the number of people in the world who suffer from smartphone addiction.
I will keep trying my best! I'll be shooting a video again, so please watch it again!
@@みかん-m8u4e definitely! I agree 100% with this. I stopped using social media in February and my focus has improved significantly. I also think i will be doing a severe digital detox as i now try to replace social media with other apps. My phone does notifications without wifi on and i have realised sometimes it vibrates but it doesn’t even have a notification. It’s just “reminding” me to check the phone. It’s crazy and spooky and honestly i can’t be dealing with this.
I’m done with addiction in general and my phone is definitely one of the biggest problems i have atm.
