Does anyone know where I can find examples in video form about that "art of looking busy" concept she spoke about?
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pointing_and_calling
Here you go!
@@GabSmolders thanks, this was fascinating!
@@GabSmolders thats fascinating. Seems like an effective way to reduce errors in a job that could quickly become mundane and be easy to mess up. Even if you are really just going through the motions, your brain is still more likely to take note of things if you actively have to move and call things out. Super cool and definitely not something you see in the west, even though I can think of many ways it could be useful.
"Jesus is coming; look busy." -A butt tattoo, 2003
I have not looked at the link that Gabs shared in this thread but this made me think of when I was working for parents, my Uncle taught me that I should always be making it look like I should be doing something. That way, there would be less of a chance of someone coming up and interacting with me or asking me to do something I am already doing something. It could be anything: sorting a bookcase, carrying bottle to and from, collecting paperwork, etc.
When she mentioned it, that is what I thought of
I just love it when ever Gab has a chance to play any of these Chillers Art games. They are like snippets of Japanese daily life mixed with urban legend horror, and since she lived in Japan for a long time, the perspective she gives on the games realy makes them something special.
Very much so, if it was a different person we were watching it wouldn't be the same as with gab
Kisaragi station is an urban legend where there is no such station with this name anywhere in Japan. People who ended up getting taken to Kisaragi station never comes back and there is not a single soul in sight when you're there, just unimaginable beings there...
How does anyone know about it if nobody ever comes back?
@@maltemojso some dude actually starts a reddit post ab it while heading home and it goes 'so i missed my station and everyone is asleep on this train' and it escalates and he keeps updating while he's at the said station and it ends very abruptly and the last update is pretty eerie idk if that's the actual legend or a story based off of it but yea
@@jucashewpi do you remember the username at all? or where was it posted.. im really curious now T_T
@@g0study According to Wikipedia, it was on an anonymous Japanese social media called 2channel. I can recommend checking out the Wikipedia article, it was an interesting read 🙂
Gab: **does a minute-long stare down with a ghost while the lights flicker**
Also Gab: **gets scared by a train**
Gets scared of puffs of smoke from her own character
I lived in Tokyo before. Regarding the conductor, the extra hand gestures are so they basically stay alert the whole time. The job can get really monotonous and to prevent them from zoning out or even falling asleep, they have to perform the gestures. It's also to ensure passengers of that and that they're making safety a priority.
wish people did it in the states, lost track on how often their been train accidents or subway accidents simply due to the conductor not being alert.
I think it's called "point and call" or something. İt's so that they see information and are forced to acknowledge and process it by pointing at it and reading it out loud (for example).
Gab whispering "I'm a dirty bitch" in shock is one of the highlights of this video 😂
ikr lmfao
I laughed so hard at that! But I definitely agree, our guy’s a dirty bxtch for not washing his hands after a squat poop
A year late but I was about to comment something like this too 😭
I remember in some video, Gab mentions that in Japanese horror people are usually just 'in the wrong place at the wrong time' and talks about people that always go the same way/have the same routine everyday could be drawn into the ghosts energy (or something like that). So, now I can't help but think I'd be fucked if I ever went to Japan because I always go the same route whenever I go somewhere to the point where I get things mixed up/can't figure out where I am if I have to take a different way.
You are the perfect protagonist for a horror game, wishing you safety ✌🏼
Honestly same. I have habits and paths and such that are comfortable for me, and even the tendency to touch the same objects as I go to the point that I get bothered if someone trims a plant or puts something in the way. I mean I'll get over it but in the moment I'm really bothered.
There seems to be certain recurring theme in Japanese horror in urban legends like the slasher smile women or Toilet Hanako: Once you've attracted the attention of the supernatural, you're pretty much doomed with *very* slim to none chance of getting away intact. It feels like it would come from a cultural norm of "keep your head down, mind your business, don't get involved, don't get noticed." And I wonder if that comes from the era when just attracting the attention of a person higher in social standing could be very dangerous for you. A samurai was permitted to kill any peasant that offended him, and *he* got to make that call of what was justifiable. Why take the chance he was just in a bad mood and looking for something to be mad about? Don't get noticed.
That's fascinating
Copying over my Kisaragi Station explanation from Minx's playthough:
There's a decent amount lost if you don't know the story of Kisaragi Station. TL;DR woman gets on a midnight train, it doesn't stop where it's supposed to, she panics and gets off at Kisaragi [devil/demon?] Station. She wanders around, calls her parents, posts on 2ch looking for help. No one can find the station or what train she could have possibly gotten on. She ends up getting followed by a festival of ghosts and running into a train tunnel. She ends up hurt, lost, and confused and takes a ride from a stranger, and is never heard from again.
Over time it's kind of morphed into the Japanese version of a ghost train, a rail line ridden by spirits on their way to the afterlife. In the west it's usually the stop after the last stop, but in Japan it's more of a thing that happens to you.
I wonder if that's the "story" behind the incredible train ride in "Spirited Away?" The train only travels one way, and we see figures leaving the train, but none boarding. Even the burst of neon lighting could be another stop, but it is not Chihiro's destination, so the train rolls right on through.
Gab: "You have a favorite seat?"
Me (who used to commute daily): "You don't?"
Alfonso The Lie Weaver when it’s free its free, otherwise i go to my seconds
So true haha
I used to think it was weird, until I commute to work daily...
The person who jumped in front of the train was the kid. The scene where you're in the conductors place I mean. When you pause it you can see the kid running towards the train. When the kid said he was trying to get a cicada from the window I thought it was implying that he fell out of the window and died but I guess he accidentally ran in front of the train.
I assume the office lady was one of Eikos friends that was talked about on the phone.
The cicada guy is Daishi who we bullied.
I'm not sure who the drunk guy is. He could be the kids dad since we never got to ask him if the kid was his. He may have become an alcoholic after the loss of their kid.
The kid was a little girl lol.
Thanks for clearing all that up. I was confused about a lot of that 😄
"Japanese working people have idle animations"
I need to find time to hop into your streams more! That got me rolling
Yesssssss I love when you play Japanese games. I am starting to pick up some common words.
This video's word is Unko haha, poop!
Gab Smolders first I oop, then I poop 😂😂
The 35 people who disliked are people who don't wash their hands after going to the bathroom.
Loves this playthrough Gab! I always enjoy your indie horror playthroughs!
I only was my hands when I drop d00ks heavier than 2.5kg
56:06 Gab: "should we go?"
*thing crawls out*
Gab: "YEAH TIME TO GO"
Hi, here's my theory.
Kensuke Tanaka is always a trouble maker since elementary school. In 6th grade, he killed Taishi's cicadas, gift from Taishi's father. Tanaka killed all of cicadas during recess. So I don't think Taishi would know it was Tanaka. That's why his Boss asked if Tanaka knew something about Taishi's disappearance. (May be he killed himself). But nobody knows and during 8th grade, Kensuke Tanaka bullied to a girl from Kuma no Tsume middle school. And that girl might be a friend of Sho's girlfriend and Eiko, wife of Tanaka. Gradually she got depressed and jumped from station. This is the scene that the train hit on something while Tanaka was in the conductor's room. Then a female ghost came and chased him after. In high school, Tanaka met Mr. Shimizu and he changed Tanaka's life. Tanaka said, Mr. Shimizu saved me from dropping out. Tanaka became a salaryman after graduated and married to Eiko. Last two years, there was an incident. Eiko didn't want her husband know about that and she felt very regretful about the past. Kaya, Taxi driver knew about it. Then Eiko suddenly disappeared. (I assumed that Eiko might knew about her friend's suicide was caused by her husband, Tanaka and she felt guilty about it. Two years ago, Eiko might be pregnant and knowing of the truth led her miscarriage and then disappeared. Suicide? Or just accidentally riding the train and lost in the tracks? Then she came to Kisaragi station, the station connecting the real world and the other world.) The office Lady worked OT and she looks always tired. We can say that by her brown tired eyes. She didn't want to go home that's why she always works OT. She answered she had returned home in safe unfortunately. The next day she disappeared. I think she committed suicide because she left her a pair of red shoes and it symbolises the struggles she endured. The little girl might be an unborn child of Tanaka. Because she was taking a pinwheel which represents the spiritual freedom and souls of miscarriage and stillborn children. Little girl couldn't remember her daddy cuz she has never seen her daddy before. She only knew her father is middle-aged man. Then why she slept along with Tanaka for a while? She said she was chasing the cicadas and a little bit before cicadas stopped on Tanaka's face. This might be guide from Taishi for a little girl and she assumes that Tanaka is her father. I think another mean salaryman is the previous form of Tanaka and drunken man is the present form of Tanaka after Eiko's disappearence. Tanaka is still alive, still human that's why he could hear the voices of natural and the other world gives a chance to him. The reason why the Helper is Mr. Shimizu is that he has strength or power to influence Kensuke Tanaka. If Tanaka has chosen the right station, Mr. Shimizu would help later, giving a chance to see Eiko for the last time. If not, Tanaka will lost in the tracks forever at Kisaragi Station.
The forementioned is just my assumptions.
Wow this is brilliant and make perfect sense!
"Daddy?"
"DO I LOOK LIKE"
Lmao
She was so quick about it too hahahahahaha
Hey gabs, I loving your Zelda series and love your indie horror games (even tho I'm not a huge fan of horror :x)
Just confirming some facts you mention about Japan! I live in Kawasaki now :)
So here we go:
1 - Yes, they are using Stay Home as kind of a campaign for ppl to stay at their homes and just go out for necessary things, like working, grocery and stuff. Actually, we don't have a lockdown.
2 - Each station here has a different song! Some are very famous :)
3 - Kisaragi Station is an urban legend here in Japan, and is very similar to the story in the game. The girl was on the train going home, the train never stopped, all people on the train were sleeping. In the end, they say is the train that takes the dead people to their destination :D Is a very interesting story.
Continue your great content :D
I love seeing Gab talk so passionately about Japan, it makes me wish even more to go there haha
Gab when she just hit someone: Oh no,
*anyways*
Theory: It seems that train is more than a physical object, but a portal between the physical world, and a spiritual world. The old man Shimizu knew he was ready to die, so he knew the train would take him to that spiritual world. Reinforcing that is the Old Lady who said it was "Too late" because she meant her time was up as well. As for the protagonists wife, the only reason why she was able to pull the protagonist out of the spiritual world is because she is dead and is a spirit herself.
Shimizu knows the spiritual connection between the Husband and Wife, hence why he said "Call home" because "Home" embodies the spirit of the family. This includes the Wife. So by calling "Home" he is actually calling his Wife directly. Explanations between the physical world and a spiritual one are always very personal, and if you don't understand the connections, they are hard to decipher.
"Home poops are the best poops!" would have been an amazing Coronavirus lockdown advisory.
The hand washing thing really bothers me too 😂. Why wouldn't someone want to wash their hands?
That's so weird/interesting about them wanting to look so busy all the time. I understand keeping yourself busy at work but this is something else.
protag: doesn't wash his hands after using the bathroom
[everyone disliked that]
but also, if evelyn ever decides to host some group japanese lesson if just to refresh her knowledge, i'd be so down to participate

I have worked in a fast food chain before as a cashier, and I kid you not I have done that tapping at the sides of the monitor when punching in orders 😂 I was also confused at first when I saw my seniors doing that during training, but I guess I kinda picked up the habit and started doing it as well. I think it was just so our hand or finger can rest closest to the monitor, so that we can easily punch the next order in.
I heard the hand gestures are a way of confirming an observation. It's suppose to prevent glossing over repetitive tasks. For example, when the conductor checks speed he/she points to ensure their brain registers the value. Its similar to following with your finger as you read.
4:58 no offense taken, even as a smoker, cigarettes stink. I can't imagine how bad they smell to a non-smoker.
like cat piss in hot summer wind. (non smoker but been around them)
My mom smokes cigarettes and it's an awful smell if you aren't accustomed to it. I smoke hookah, but that smells like fruit, so nobody really complains
@@azadalamiq more like dog shit on the side walk. They’re everywhere in my area
omg. i noticed a cashier lady doing the same tapping thing in a fast food place years ago. i was confused and annoyed at the same time 😂 cause i knew for sure she wasnt doing anything than waiting for whatever on the screen to load. and i deliberately looked to the side to check that she indeed wasnt doing anything purposeful lol
Young ppl with disabilities (also with invisible disabilities, meaning u can't see) need to use the priority seats too. We get forgotten. Here in norway there are priority seats. But absolutely noone cares even if you're visibly disabled. Fun times.
Isnt that blindness
Even though this is apparently a reference to the urban legend of Kisaragi Station, what it actually reminded me of a lot was Mononoke's last story arch, with the train and people stuck in it and all the supernatural aspects.
You mean Princess Mononoke by Studio Ghibli? They also use the ghost train reference in Spirited Away and the beginning and end scene in Grave of the Fireflies. Super sad
@@falloutpipboy No, I mean the anime series from 2007. It's a collection of ghost stories, so I guess it'll share a lot of classical elements with other japanese media.
@@fivesanti Oh I never knew that existed. It must be a popular concept in Japan. Maybe even part of their religious beliefs?
For those who still wonder about what happened in this game. This game was inspired by an urban legend of a train station Tasagari in Japan, this station is believed to be the station of the beyond where the dead people gather. In this game, the main character who we controll and his wife Eiko were punished for bad things they did in the past ( they had both bullied other students during their time at school, you would find out about it by the conversations through the phones with some people like his friend or the taxi driver ). The punishment for them was to be sent to the trains of the dead that took them to the station of the beyond. His wife was the first one who experienced that, she was taken to Tasagari and her soul had been trapped there, that’s why nobody could find her. The main character was then the second victim but fortunately he got help from his old teacher who may had died but he did not know.
He could not avoid his punishment of being sent to Tasagari, but he got a chance to get rid of it by choosing to call her wife by the home number as his teacher said in the Tasagari, having been trapped there for a long time, his wife could understand and find him with no guidance. By taking her husband home, she was forgiven by Gods and released.
I'm easily spooked and I usually can't finish watching gamers play spooky games even when I'm so interested with the story. But with your videos, I can finish even the spookiest video games 🤧 Thank you, Gab. Now I can finish videos... Lol. All the love from Philippines!🇵🇭💛
Edit: the "art of looking busy" is also done here in the Philippines! Especially cashiers in Fastfood restaurants.
Oh! I remember listening to an urban legend from 2Chan where someone go stuck at a supposed "Kisaragi Station", told other people on the forum they're following the train tracks and just disappeared after getting in someone's car.
That was what the game was based on
My favourite chilla's art game was stigmatized property. But all of them were pretty good. Thanks for doing all these playthroughs
It happened once in Australia when a train conductor missed 'Toorak station' stop, so me and other passangers hopped off on the next one unknowingly and found out that we had to WALK our way back on foot to reach Toorak; it took us a while to realize what just happened.
My gosh, the deserted station ambience at midnight really got to me. It’s really creepy.
But thank you Gab for doing these play throughs and sharing Japanese language and culture tidbits! It’s really fun to know and helps keep this scaredy cat’s (me) mind focused on it :)
I've seen the conductors doing the extra gestures, but never the screen tapping. I always just assumed it was routine to signal and development for habit of doing it if it's ever needed. Sort of like signaling on the road, even if there are no other vehicles around.
last school year i was walking my middle son to school in the morning and nearly stepped on a cicada. it was completely silent until just before i stepped on it when it launched into the air with that noise they made. so yes, they are silent until approached

*You are my daaad.*
*YOU'RE MY DAD!*

Nice playthrough. I always appreciate when you play Japanese titles. You know your kanji much better than me! One small suggestion: maybe an epilepsy warning somewhere, for the flashing at 47:52.
This tbh
thank you for playing these games! i took japanese for my foreign language elective for a semester and your playthroughs help me remember how to read and understand japanese more ☺️ all the love from the philippines💖
Me too. Because of her I'm studying kanji. And I'm also from the Philippines. 😊😊😊
If anyone’s wondering- the song at the station she’s at (around 1:10:45) is a slow version of the BINGO song (US).
"Homemade poops are the best"

"you can only call one person... who would you call?" Ghostbusters, obviously
I love Chilla's art, and I think this one is my favorite. Okaeri also really got to me.
3:23 Literally laugh out loud.
Do’s hand gestures is important to the conductor for remembering all the rules when driving train. The at training that way wen they learn to drive. And to prevent accidents. And now I starts to be implement I Europe to :-)
The tapping thing you're talking about to make it seem like they're faster when using a calculator. Well, employees here in our country do that too. They said they do it to not break momentum and it also became a habit of theirs
I live in Japan now, over 3 years and I love looking at all the posters in the stations and trains
Making my way through the Chilla's Art playlist and this game really has the most artistic visuals yet. Like W0W. And the storytelling- gotta be my favorite thus far.
This one was very cool! It's so creepy when something so routine like that goes all wrong..
I LOVED the "haunted station" look with the grass!
So glad I can catch all this before going to work! So glad i found this channel
Your JP Horror series is still always the best.
BTW, "Kowabana "True" Japanese Scary Stories" has a story about Kisaragi station. Not sure if anyone mentioned this, but I suggest a listen, it's interesting. :)
@Gab Smolders : Sorry for posting twice, have you thought about trying the game "Go Home"? Not sure if you tried it yet, but I couldn't find it in your lineup.
Thank you for the great content! I love it when you play horror games
42:25 My cat specifically freaks out no matter what unless he is physically touching me. When I HAVE to take him in the car like to the vet, he sits on my lap the entire time with a seatbelt buckle leash buckled into the passenger seat lock. If i try to put him in a crate, cover him up, or even just leave him in the seat next to me he will scream and cry and thrash around until he’s touching me.
I started learning Japanese a little while ago but I sort of gave up, this seems like a rlly entertaining way of getting back into it a bit! Thanks gab 😁
I think that crawling ghost is a ghost called Teke Teke she’s a woman who died by suicide on a train track and was bisected so she crawls while she chases.
I love listening to Gab speaking Japanese, you makes it look so easy
Yay I love these kinds of games! Thanks Gabs!
Off-topic, I love the shirt you wore in this. That color suits you very well.
Awesome, chilly and slowly unfolding, like most good Japanese horror stories. It wouldn't be this fun without you and all those little facts you tell us though. Thanks a lot Gab!
Ooooh super excited for this! Hope all is well Gab looking good as always 🥰😘
They do the pointing and random gestures to keep themselves aware of any errors. They call it "raising consciousness levels of workers"
It's so cool to hear that Japan has different tunes for every station!
Regarding the corona here, I'm kinda close to Tokyo and where I'm at it's basically maintain social distancing, wear a mask, and when you enter a store you must cleanse your hands with the sanitizer provided at the entrance.
If the developers see this, she needs her own poster asap
I'd say the hashtag used here in Japan is おうち時間 versus stay home. I've seen some other variants but I think this is the most common one!
I'm living in Japan right now-- it is what they're saying for the lockdown.
Stay Home, you mean?
Loving all your plays I look forward to them everyday :))
Ur so smart, u make puzzles look so easy.always a entertaining time thx!
This is why you don't call the police, especially if you're in the middle of no where. Make sure your family or someone who can contact people that can actually tell other people something is up know what's going on. Police are unlikely to come find you unless you're in actual physical danger and even then probably don't have the resources.
Or you just call them as well as they have actual resources to locate people outside of your super reliable neighbors 😂
@@hardfugoo1 1. They only had one phone call in this game. 2. What the heck would police do about ghosts? 3. They aren't gonna use those resources on someone not in Real danger.
BealeCiphers Animations what would your super reliable neighbors do about ghosts 😂
your japanese indie horror vids are so comforting for me :)
People began to realize that second-hand smoke was harmful to others who inhale it. My little brother has asthma so I'm happy that they introduced smoking areas as well.
@16:51 I don't know if anyone said something to this, but Japanese train conductors are obligated, (to said in a way) to say out loud and gesture in every signal, traffic light, station and whatever they see in order to confirm that they seen it and they understood what to do. That's why they gesture and talk (sometimes) when they are driving the train.
I am a smoker myself , but I can totally agree with Gab here , smoking areas are a really good thing first of all I as a smoker does not have to worry about anoying anyone with my smoke at all and secondly people who does not like smoke can avoid the smell :) its a win win in my book.
I saw Kubz Scouts play this, and was excited when I found out you're gonna play it. Thanks for the video Gabs!
the art of looking busy that you mentioned is a technique for concentration, it is very interesting.
No wonder Kisaragi Station somewhat familiar because of that story in the internet about the Japanese train not stopping.
thank you Gab for playing this!! i saw people play this but I hold myself and wait for your vids instead---thank you!!
sometimes i come back to this video just to listen to gab speaking japanese, it's just so nice
i remember hearing cicadas when i was a kid in Tennessee. They seemed to fade away with the Fire Flies over the years. Those were peaceful times....
Whoo! I've been jonesing for some Japanese horror recently. Doesn't feel right watching other creators doing it these days, you just do it best xD
Thanks for doing what you do!
If you ever give Japanese lessons, let me know. I’ll be the first in line 💖
BarelySara Im the second! 🙌🏼🙌🏼 haha
I wish this dev made it a little more clear who's talking in a conversation. Other than that though, their games are awesome! I think this train is one of their best looking maps so far
yes! i was confused the entire time
Getting home from work and getting to eat and watch one of your newest favorite youtube is just mint.
Scary games that made me emotionally cry... adding this to the list
4:55
Agreed. I smoked a pack a day. I had no idea how much it smelled until I stopped. I must’ve reeked. I’m so glad I quit. Such a HARD habit to quit.
Nice going Matthew! Must save so much money too!
Gab Smolders THANKS for the support. Yeah. Cigarettes were $11 in Boston when I quit. It’s so tough once you get addicted. Best thing people can do is be supportive and understand how hard it is. Vaping got me off them. I still vape some, but nowhere near my cigarette habit. More money for survival horror games! ;). SO enjoying your content during quarantine. I’m a newbie. You & John are keeping me sane with Phasmagoria. :) I’ll try to catch u on twitch and donate some if I can.
@@tidalboxer I don't take donations, but 100% welcome your company! :)
One of my favorite games ever. It's so sad but I love it
i just wanna say i loVE you incorporating vine references during the gameplay haha so funny
Yesss !!! I was waiting for this gameplay
Wait so this game was producers and created during COVID times and the game devs still did not have the main character wash their hands after going to the bathroom
That game Gives me how much are the same here in Greece. Stay home, the public toilets (turkeys toilets we say them) and the public transportation are the same rude humans and many try to suicide on the tracks
as someone who smokes occasionally i like the desginated smoke places as well
A) if their not outside its nice not to have to be in the cold or rain to smoke
and
B) some people have breathing problems and i dont want to make them worse just cause i have a bad habbit
I suprised at you do read Japanese and 「漢字」"kanji". this game is very scared for me. I can't sleep tonight lol.
I enjoyed this time. Because you are very exact explain of Japanese people.
I'm a lot of learned from you.
Thank you so much.
I love these chillas art games
I know this is way late, and you may never see this, but I've been a long time watcher of your videos, especially these sorts of games, and in addition to being very entertaining, I appreciate the little tidbits of Japanese language and culture you drop along the way. Thanks for all the awesome content.
I love this! Thank you!
Yes!!! Another horror game from you, thank you!!!
I enjoy listening to your Japanese and translation to English! Such a beautiful language!!! 4:08 I totally gushed and had to cuddle my cute bunny. Thank you for playing and sharing this fun indie horror game!!!
