Special thanks to David Chart for the information about Shinto. Check out his Shinto essays at / 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 www.nihongo-pr.... 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.

Interesting having KFC for Christmas Dinner.
Yamamoto Sensei is always such a delight
Merry Kentucky....hilarious! I cant stop laughing!!!
im so early that its only 360p xD
ikr
LOL... we can't have everything :-)
Have a good end of year!
I love your channel so much! I love japan and your channel helps me learn more about the country that I love!
Funny to me that they were looking for a substitute for turkey on Christmas as I've never had turkey on Christmas (I'm an American.) We have some kind of beef roast usually, (typically tenderloin) as a main dish. Some years we have roast duck. To me turkey is for Thanksgiving.
There's a saying in Japan that if you're 25+ and single you're Christmas Cake.
I'm one 😭
i never watched so many adds in one Q&A Video.... 😂
KFC in Japan is awesome. (Everything is awesome...)
If I saw Japanese KFC ads and didn't know it was just a holiday tradition, I'd be like OMG they worship the Chicken Man.
I love ur video im from japan to i live in shizukawa
The temple thing reminds me of the Methodist covenant service on the 1st Sunday of the year.
I'm still confused. It's not a holiday. They don't celebrate it. The kids go to school. But they have a national ad on TV for KFC. They have Christmas cakes. And some people put up Christmas trees. Dating couples give each other gifts. It seems like they are in some denial about celebrating it. They don't want to but they do, a little bit.
It's not playing
This video covered a lot of good points regarding Christmas. As for New Years, no mention of Bonenkai or Shinenkai. No mention of “Western” style New Years parties which seem to become popular recently. Lastly, no mention of what do young people or couples do during the end of year. I’m old and married in Japan so I’m curious about these questions. :)
Yes, there are so many topics we missed out on! Most of the questions we received were about Christmas, so I had to tack on my own Questions about New Year's in Japan. Maybe one year I'll do a proper video about all the events surrounding New Year's. Not this year though, haha.
@@LifeWhereImFrom I'd be interested in hearing more about New Year's in a future video - especially since it sounds like it's a much larger, more important celebration than Christmas is.
But is sayonara not saying a big good bye to not see back in long time? I though, mata-ne or byebye is the short time bye, to see in the next few days or so?
One though popped up in my mind while making my breakfast a few minutes ago: Is the change of the Tenno in this April 2019 a big thing in Japan and how do the common japanese handle with it?
I know, it will be the end of a Era ( end of Hesei, if I know it correct? ) and with the new Tenno it will begin a new era. Do the Japanese celebrate it big or more silent/more private ?
It not too much time till the change of the Era, the retreat of the tenno.
Kinds regards from Germany, Peter! Mata-ne!
I'd love to know about Japan and social media in general. Japan's attitude towards it, is it tame compared to other countries, do teens get too absorbed with it etc....
Lacey Cross It can get pretty bad here. “Insta-bi” folks are frowned upon due to their ordering expensive meals and not even take a bite before leaving the restaurant for the next photo op. Facebook is not popular but it’s mostly used by Japanese teens who want to attract foreigners and Mothers who take pictures of their children (You almost never see the mother in the pictures). Line is the primary app for texting and video messaging. You almost never ask anyone for their phone number, you ask for their Line.
あけましたおめでとうございます🎊🎉🍾🎊🎊🎈🥰🥰🥰🥰
2 other things... New year cards to everyone you know nengajou 年賀状、and bonenkai partys
We use to get 10 days of leave from school in India for christmas (talking about my school dont know about other schools)
山本先生はゆとり世代だな（笑）ケンタッキーの前からクリスマスにchicken食べる習慣はあったよ。ケンタッキーが日本で始めたわけじゃ決してない。アメリカのTVドラマの影響で、1960年代後半頃からローストチキンがデパート、スーパーで売られるようになった。その後、それらの一つの選択肢としてケンタッキーが出てきたが、それは割と最近のこと（多分９０年代）。80年代やバブルの頃はまだクリスマスにケンタッキーとはなっていなくて、ローストチキンを食べたものだ。いい加減なこと言うなよ。
I was actually in tokyo on new year and so on, really interesting to see a busy town like tokyo getting really quiet around january the first...
I can't be the only one who sees a lady in the thumbnail of a LWIF video and thinks, "the absolute ledge, he finally got his wife in front of the camera!", can I?
Thank you for this video Greg. Learned a lot of new things.
I am surprised though that you didn't realise that Kohaku Uta Gassen is a Girls vs Boys singing battle >_
Something is wrong with this video upload
That strawberry shortcake looks delicious!
Oh, I LOVE Japan... you are the best!
Great vid as always greg
sponsored by KFC Japan :D
I’m in Japan and I was wondering what is the best thing to do in Japan right now we are in Tokyo
Search on YT what to do in Tokyo
Early
Japanese study question but what does "Kentucky ni shinai" mean?
does it mean something like "Why not do Kentucky?"
You’re so handsome omg
nice info
360p for the win
ive never thought of going to KFC for xmas here in california. for me its like in the same class of food as mcdonalds. i dont celebrate with that food.
As they explained, it started with Christian missionaries in the 70s. They were looking for turkey, but turkey isn't in Japan. So, they bought a lot of chicken from KFC. Given Japanese incorporate some Western influences, a KFC Christmas dinner is now common, but it's not a holiday. Just something most participate.
@@Ron-iy2ez and when I get out there, I'll have to join in on it too. Wonder if I'll miss turkey...
Turo619 You don’t HAVE to eat it. I’ve spent several Christmases in Japan and never ate KFC for Christmas. BTW, don’t take your date to KFC, that would ruin your evening.
"Christmas is Kentucky"; that is so dumb !
Plz make a video on how Indians live in Japan?
The Japanese KFC commercials were so awkward, like an SNL skit. Is it supposed to be funny or is that genuine?
They're most definitely real, genuine commercials.
Are you Short or is She tall ? >_
Both?
Awesome video!! It’s interesting to how Christmas is like in Japan!! This video should’ve been in japanese, since she’s your japanese teacher! haha
Oh it's not a holiday! Where I'm from we all most all of the major holidays : Chinese New year, Islamic holidays, thaipusam, deepavali, Buddhist, Christmas, new year and others.
A Critical problem in Japan. The people even don't know Kentucky is the name of one of the states in US. People assume Kentucky is the name of a restaurant chain in Japan(at lease people know it's from US.)
Well im a veg, what about people like me in Japan during Christmas?
Manny Pacquiao????
