I’m a 37 year old American and I was the first American to go to the school I went to in Japan. My mom kept all my backpacks and pencil cases (plus others) my children use them now. The quality is amazing!
I'm 17, born in Japan but moved from there right before I start elementary school. My dad's friends gifted me with a ランドセル as a farewell gift and also "congratulations on going to school" gift. After being used everyday for 6 years, well it's pretty ボロボロ (idk what the word is in English) and dusty, but it's still useable and the quality is still wonderful. I also made a lot of friends from other classes and upperclassmen bcs my backpack was unique!!
American public school in the 70s was very similar to Japan. We had Home Economics, Consumer Ed, taking up instruments starting in 2nd grade, free Driver's Ed. We weren't even allowed to know what were our teachers' political leanings! .....THEN we went woke! Now, my former high school makes RUclips for their yearly graduation brawls. It's revolting.
@@NewYawkahBroadI wouldn't say they went "woke". Like most states, the sensible programs were cut in favor of stuff they(school boards and parents) thought would be more helpful for their kids having a successful future. Taxes went more towards computer based programs, and at my high school, having classes in things like micro-economics or Japanese over the TV with other schools. They ended up eliminating home ec, foods, shop, all that good stuff. That was in the 80s, Reagan-era. But I'm not blaming either party. Ultimately, it started with school boards and parents, just wanting the best for their kids. Sadly, we now know it was a mistake.
@@NewYawkahBroadActually it is the republican party that wants to do all this state testing.That takes up all the teachers time. Also the republicans that freak out about things not being in curriculum. But I really love when someone sleeps though all the facts. Then tries to pretend they know.
We did at our school system in Massachusetts in the 70s. During end of day announcements, for about 8 minutes. Basically pick up any trash, wipe down surfaces and chalkboard, and finally put chairs upside down on the desks.
@@IHeartQuilting2 yes, we neatened up in the 70's as well -- but in Japan, the students take the place of the janitor and do more of the cleaning as well
Most do, especially at that age. Also learning to be kind only works if parents are teaching it. Too many Parents not doing their job at home and blaming teachers. If you want your kid to do well, you should probably help them succeed. It’s made worse by the fact that teachers and kids in America have to worry be shot during a school day and then watch as the government sides with the nra instead of doing something about children dying in violent crimes.
I miss the cleaning cloths! Glad they learn to clean the school themselves, teaches responsibly and respect for public facilities. Wish we had the same program in the USA!
yes,@@themermaidstale5008 but allowing kids to clean their desks and classrooms is what every school should do so they can learn how to not damage those things
That was SO interesting to watch!! I love how much care and attention is given to kids when they go to school in Japan and how they are also doing art and music at school and each have their own paint set. I think it really gives them the opportunity to have fun and be creative and learn at the same time!
Japanese schools are no joke 😂 I always thought that school in my birth country required a lot, well Japan definitely outplayed it. At the same time it is amazing how much schools actually teach fun and somewhat useful skills.
I lived in Korea until 2nd grade and I remember taking rags and wood oil to wax the floor. Each table stayed after school to clean the whole class (wipe desks, wax floors, and clean the windows). I also remember the class indoor shoes as well. I like the fact that kids learn to be responsible and take care of their own classroom.
I never realized how much stuff my parents had to buy forme for school 😅 School supplies hasn’t changed since I went to school and this video made me nostalgic
Super nostalgic haha. I’m over 30 years old but those things that they teach at school seem like they haven’t changed at all haha. I loved those extra classes.
Wow~ that's crazy they have a lot of stuff families have to buy! but I'm also glad that most could be bought at probably at a 100 yen store (?) and sewing classes and wood carving classes are so cool, i would like to be a kid again and enroll in Japanese Elementary school.
日本の学校について教えてくれて、ありがとうございます😊あたりまえになっていたけど、改めて見たら、日本の公立学校は、なかなか良い教育をしてくれていたなと嬉しくなりました💕 Thank you for teaching us about Japan schools When I looked at them again, I was happy that the public schools in Japan were providing a pretty good education environment💕
Where are you getting this from American schools offer almost the same type of things. they offer music, art, they offer sewing in one of the grades, languages, wood shop, electric shop, home economics, they get a recorder as well then they're offered to learn an instrument. And some of those things the parents don't have to buy the school provides.
@@cinn7058 I think it highly depends on where you attend school. Not all schools offer all of these things. At least they didn’t when I was in school which was 12 years ago. Yet, my husband’s school only one hour away from mine offered all of these. While some of these things were offered at my school, they had a limited amount of students who could take each elective. So, if you wanted a certain class and it was already full you had to settle for something else.
small, private schools like mine have a HUGE supply list because they have to buy things for the classroom in addition to their own supplies. For the teacher, they have to buy 3 reams of paper each semester, board markers, sharpies, cleaning supplies, snacks, etc. Individually they need a backpack, pencils, pens, markers, crayons, 3x5 cards, paper and depending on the grade so many folders, 3 ring binders, and then they buy their books for the year.
My elementary school in the US taught us to clean to an extent, when we went to lunch we would clean the tables with soapy dish towels before going back to class. We would also usually sanitize our desks. The custodian was there for the really big messes and general upkeep.
i was like "why do they have SO MUCH STUFF" but it seems like japan teaches more life skills and makes it fun! i'm sure once you're all organized and used to the routine, it doesn't seem quite as chaotic, but i'm still trying to wrap my head around which supplies go in which bag XD
My work is done and then I watch 'Life in Japan'. It is my favorite routine on friday.😊 In elementary school, I don't think the necessary tools have changed that much compared to my time. But I was surprised at how much the products have evolved.😅 I wonder if I have ever had so many bags?
I'm currently in school in the US and I would absolutely LOVE to go to a school in japan. I feel like it would be a much more positive enviornment not just for me, but for many others too. Its different, and I love that :D
Here in Finland you don’t really have to buy anything at all for school. Most do buy a pencil case and some pencils and erasers though. Glue, tape, work books, painting colours, coloured pencils etc etc etc are all supplied by the school. We also get free cooked school lunches. No need to pack lunch boxes. No school uniform to buy.
That was really interesting, at least, well it looks like you can pass on some of the materials from the older girls down to the younger ones. Thats a lot of stuff to tote to school . The kids learn a lot of useful skills in school.
This vid was randomly recomended to me and im so glad. Subscribed right away. What a fun experience for your whole family to move to japen i cant wait to watch some of your adventures :D thanks for making these vids for youtube 👋
My family and I have missed your show while camping this summer! However, we had such a fun week binge watching all the episodes we’ve missed!!! 😃 God bless your beautiful family!!! 💛
I feel like you actually learn things in Japanese school. Sewing and swimming, which is a necessary skill, but also fun things like music and art. Very cool! Do they have to take every bag with them every day, or can some stay (like the earthquake hat)
We bring art tools like paints and calligraphy tools when we use them. We bring emergency hoods to school on the first day of the term, and usually place them on the backs or seats of chairs to use as cushions.Then, at the end of the semester, take it home and wash the cover. We buy😊 disaster prevention hoods before entering the school and have been using the same ones for six years.Evacuation drills are held several times a year, during which students actually wear disaster prevention hoods and learn how to use them.😊
ya it seems Japanese schools actually teach stuff that's useful. compared to American schools. which a lot of stuff is junk that u will never use again. and we never learn stuff we need in life
Wow, thats a lot of stuff! In Scotland, our little ones don't need to take any supplies! We give them pencil cases with stuff in them but the schools say we don't need to do that.
UK Schools provide most of the resources the children need. All the children need is a pencil case with pens, pencils, ruler etc. All paints, cellotape, glue, art supplies, sewing supplies, books are supplied by the school.
You don’t even need to provide pens and pencils in primary school. They seem to expect the child to take a water bottle these days and suitable clothing for physical education. That’s about it.
Hello! I’m new here and this the first of your vlogs I’ve seen. I really enjoyed the school supply haul! I Look forward to seeing more of life in Japan!
In the first grade (US) we each had a cigar box for our supplies.: one chunky red pencil, safety scissors, a container of white paste, (probably Elmer’s brand) and a small sized box of crayons.
Wow that’s a lot of school supplies way more than I remember taking to school but they are really nice school supplies the ma seems really nice and a great ma to.
When will you use calligraphy? U.S. schools have photography, drivers ed, culinary, business, accounting, nursing programs, CAD drawing, EMT training, metalworks, construction, wood shop, car repair, forensics, manufacturing, pathways to university, dual credit, AP classes, when you play an instrument in high school it is a class with equal weight as math not something done after school. ROTC and opportunities to join the military during high school. My niece did part one of basic before senior year. Almost every student takes 2 years of another language 5 days a week for the entire school year in high school and most middle schools offer at least Spanish class. In Japan it’s like 3 classes a week for English.
everything is so なつかしい〜 i still have my sowing kit (i'm 25) and i actively use it! even my dad still has his it is expensive but it's going to be with you for life!
I’m watching this like 20 ish minutes before I need to leave for school (Friday am in Canada) this is normal! (Oh also 10:58 ish area, it’s called air dry clay, or modelling clay depends on where you live)
That's a lot of items for school. But I bet it totally worth it with all the things they get to do! I'd love to know where to get some of those items, like the art kits.
This is so much ! Here in Germany when you enter school your parents just make sure you get the pencils from a list and some waterclores too, a backpack, a bag for sports clothing, a box and a bottle for food and drink (or parents can even buy drinks for the kids instead of fill up bottles at home), some folders and notebooks and depending on what colors youe school chose for the subjects you also need to buy colored plastic sleeves for the notebooks and match it to the thin folders in color and than you mostly buy 1 or 2 books for your kids since the other books are given to the kids by school, but most parents also buy clear sleeves for the books, even sleeves for books that the school gives you. Thats it, nothing else. Because most stuff is given to the kids by the school.
Hi, these are quite a lot to organize. A few of the stuff you showed, in Switzerland is provided by the school- eg.: paint color, pencil, rubber, glue,... (if you bring the empty glue to the teacher you get a new one - if you lose it, buy a new one at the store. At least, as we outside Japan hear /"know": everything is neatly organized. I have another request regarding school: Could you make a video about the school uniform? In Switzerland we don't know them. Knowing my own kids and how they "worked" with dirt, you must have a whole cabinet of uniforms. I'm interested in questions like: how many items of each part of the uniform you have, how long do they last (until they are worn out or to short), how many times a week is laundry-day, which part are mandatory and mandatory to wear in certain manner, what is free (for personal fashion "touch"). furthermore more, how do people handle the uniform if they haven't enough money: is there a second-hand market, does the school/city/some organisations provide money support. If I remember correctly when you moved to your actual location, the girls had to change school, so you got 2 set of Uniform needless, what did you do with them? Could you make a little investigation for your school and how all these stuff is handled at other schools (around Tokyo)?
When we can't afford to buy uniforms, we get hand-me-downs from people we know, or ask the school to get donated ones. Depending on the school, used uniforms may be distributed at the bazaar. Normally, we prepare blazers, pants, skirts, etc. that are one size larger before entering the school. Then, when the child grows up and the uniform becomes smaller, the uniform is remade to fit the body size.
Uniforms are usually sold ready to be remade.We buy about two items that come into direct contact with our skin, such as Y-shirts, and wash them every day. Blazers and skirts can be washed in the washing machine, so we wash them depending on how dirty they are. In addition to uniforms, we also purchase gym uniforms (which we can also receive as hand-me-downs). Besides physical education class, we wear gym uniforms during classes where we sweat a lot and get dirty. Because gym clothes are easy to wash.
@@aquanomama215 so if I interpret it correctly, the fabric is so good that the uniform doesn't "wear out" (at least) the time the kids are at a certain school - wow.
@@didierjud8086 That's true😂. When my boys were in Junior high, which is public junior high,they were told to change their uniform to gym uniform as soon as they arrive at school and they spent most of the day in gym cloths at school. Rules vary from school to school, and students in private schools seem to spend most of their time in uniform. If you attend such a school, you will need to buy or receive at least two blazers, pants, and skirts.
OMG. Those boxers that they keep in their desks! I have had mine for 40 years when mum brought it for me in Hong Kong and we couldn't figure out why Japanese people sold these boxes. Now I get it! Genius as always.

Japanese elementary and junior high school education also has the role of letting children try various things and discovering their talents.
In the Caribbean as well. 🇧🇧
The USA Education System NEEDS to adapt to Japan’s teachings, where the kids are ACTUALLY LEARNING USEFUL LIFE SKILLS!

大変なんだけど、こういうのが後でいい思い出になるんですよね。

Would be nice all schools in North America does same as Japan like cleaning, helping with meals in class and being kind.
I don't think the unions would approve...it would take away jobs
We did at our school system in Massachusetts in the 70s. During end of day announcements, for about 8 minutes. Basically pick up any trash, wipe down surfaces and chalkboard, and finally put chairs upside down on the desks.

학교 끝나고 남아서 청소하는게 얼마나 좆같은지... 왜 우리가 교무실도 청소해야 하는지...
@@루루-l6cthe staff room seems a bit much, I agree.
I guess in the US the cleaning provides a janitorial job for an adult.
yes,@@themermaidstale5008 but allowing kids to clean their desks and classrooms is what every school should do so they can learn how to not damage those things
My kids are in school to lean proper stuff, NOT to be the free cleaners 🤮🤮🤮

And here in America, the kids destroy the classrooms.
Very interesting. I'm impressed with the art supplies, sewing and wood carving.
小学校の頃に標語を作る授業があり「忘れるな。ハンカチ、チリ紙、笛、名札」と作ってクラスで大賞をとったこと思い出しました！（自慢）たくさんの文房具などは自分で管理して明日の授業の教科書や宿題、生活ノートなど準備するのも子供の作業でしたね。外国の方がこの動画の内容に驚かれていることにこちらも驚きです。私たちは色々と繁忙な学生生活を送らされていたのですね
値段を気にされている人もいますが、これらの道具は大事に使えば一生使えます
I never realized how much stuff my parents had to buy forme for school 😅
School supplies hasn’t changed since I went to school and this video made me nostalgic
And backpacks are just as heavy!
裁縫道具などは大人になっても使ってますから揃えてくれた親に感謝ですね😢❤
子供の頃に習った技術を覚えているのはすごいことだ。

Those teenagers are really growing up!❤PS. You sure get an idea of the Japanese mindset with their school organization!❤
懐かしい！
日本の学校は全部まとめて注文をするんだけど、その時に自分で好きな柄の裁縫セットや習字道具入れ、絵の具セットを選べるんです。
男の子はドラゴンの柄を選びがちで、大人になってからちょっと痛い選択に恥ずかしくなったりもします。
彫刻刀や裁縫セットは大人になっても使い続けてる人もいます。いい物です。
絵の具のパレットや筆箱の中が汚くなってるのは小学生あるあるです！お母さんが大変な思いをします。
Your kids are very lucky to get a great education. It’s similar to the European education system. Very neat!
This is so cool! Wish our kids would have as many unique classes!
ママさん、素晴らしいです。子供達の用具の整理整頓とか、、、ママさん、素敵です。
So organised. Expensive to kit out but great skills taught in these schools.
This video makes me miss Daiso so much! They have the cutest school and office supplies.
Okay Japan might have a whacktastic amount of school supplies, but they sound SO much more well rounded than American schools!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
i was like "why do they have SO MUCH STUFF" but it seems like japan teaches more life skills and makes it fun! i'm sure once you're all organized and used to the routine, it doesn't seem quite as chaotic, but i'm still trying to wrap my head around which supplies go in which bag XD
It would be so interesting to see what the twins need for middle school !
Oh and well done to all parents out there also helping your kids with their projects!!! 😂
My work is done and then I watch 'Life in Japan'.
It is my favorite routine on friday.😊
In elementary school, I don't think the necessary tools have changed that much compared to my time.
But I was surprised at how much the products have evolved.😅
I wonder if I have ever had so many bags?
I'm 45 and I want to be a Japanese school kid!
Wow! Makes me want to go back to school bud then in Japan ❤
I hope you will have a wonderfull Japan elementary school life.
I loved Daiso (and Japan Home,) when I lived in Singapore. Esp when preparing for holidays. Daiso was the best!
I'm currently in school in the US and I would absolutely LOVE to go to a school in japan. I feel like it would be a much more positive enviornment not just for me, but for many others too. Its different, and I love that :D
Holy moly that is a huge amount for kids to take and do at school!!! Im exhausted just thinking about it!
Wow that's alot of supplies but the kids are learning useful skills and having fun!
自分が使うわけでもないのにお母さん何もかも理解して説明できてんのが凄いね👍

Yea!!
What wonderful experiences they get! I wouldn’t be able to afford all of those school supplies. Lol
It's a lot for sure :)
Maybe because in Japan they have one or two children in each family... but still..
いつも楽しみに視聴してます。お子達が本当に可愛くて、ご家族も仲が良く羨ましい限りです。

この動画を見て思い出しました。
異国の文化の中で母親は大変ですが、順応してるなと思いました。
日本の教育・文化に理解わしてくれて有難うございます。
Omg I love this video, thanks for sharing a part of your life
日本の公立義務学校は generalist 教育なんですよね。子供にとにかくまずあらゆる分野でひと通りのことが出来る素養を身に付けさせる。それぞれの道へと jump up していく前に必要な basic training なのだという教育哲学なのだろう。
トレーニングでもあるし、自分がどういうことに興味があるのか、惹かれるのか知るために色々なことを経験させるという意図も感じます。そして特に興味がある分野を見つけることができればクラブ活動でさらにスキルを高めることもできますね。
そしてひねくれた見方をすると、各業界が自分達の商品を買わせるために政府と癒着して道具が必要な科目を授業に押し込んだようにも見えます。
OMG 😮 sooooooo much stuff needed for school.
I feel like you actually learn things in Japanese school. Sewing and swimming, which is a necessary skill, but also fun things like music and art. Very cool! Do they have to take every bag with them every day, or can some stay (like the earthquake hat)

中学校も小学校も新学期が始まると、揃えなくてはならない道具がいっぱいありますね。アメリカやブラジルとは全然違うのでしょうね。今日の動画を見て大変な事が分かりました。子供たちはその分勉強してくれると思います。

The quality of that education seems to be lacking though compared to Japan.
学期の始まりは大荷物ですね。懐かしいです。
自分が小学生だった50年前とほとんど変わっていないと思いました。道具を入れるバッグなどは華やか＆軽やかになっていますね。
Wow it seems that you learn very nice things in Japanese schools
Hello! I’m new here and this the first of your vlogs I’ve seen. I really enjoyed the school supply haul! I Look forward to seeing more of life in Japan!
Thanks for watching and commenting :)
I still use the sewing tools I got in elementary school 35 years later.
In the first grade (US) we each had a cigar box for our supplies.: one chunky red pencil, safety scissors, a container of white paste, (probably Elmer’s brand) and a small sized box of crayons.
It's so different, isn't it?
We must be about the same age.
Same here
You are 50’s right. That is a vague memory. But I also remember pencil cases.
They have a bag for everything. Very interesting!
It's the same in Austria... And we also have to buy a lot of sheets and books for every subject they have.
Wonderful video. Thanks for sharing🥰🙏👌
Wow that’s a lot of school supplies way more than I remember taking to school but they are really nice school supplies the ma seems really nice and a great ma to.
Loved shopping at the hundred yen shops in Japan..great to see them in Australia too now. Dasio and miniso shops
They are pretty awesome for sure :)
WOW!! School In Japan Is Really Intense!! 💞💞💞💞
Do You Spend More In School Supply's Then Is The State's??? 💞💞💞💞
Looks like they get a very well rounded education. Much better than the USA.
最近の防災頭巾は座席の背中部分につけるんですね。私が小学生の時(約20年前)はお尻にしいてました!
I really like the idea behind the cleaning supplies, and that earthquake protection material's quite interesting!
I wish the US schools offered calligraphy, sewing, and woodcutting! Those are useful skills to learn.
The high school I went to in central Minnesota did sewing, wood cutting, and several cooking classes. Easy, fun, and still educational...
When will you use calligraphy? U.S. schools have photography, drivers ed, culinary, business, accounting, nursing programs, CAD drawing, EMT training, metalworks, construction, wood shop, car repair, forensics, manufacturing, pathways to university, dual credit, AP classes, when you play an instrument in high school it is a class with equal weight as math not something done after school. ROTC and opportunities to join the military during high school. My niece did part one of basic before senior year. Almost every student takes 2 years of another language 5 days a week for the entire school year in high school and most middle schools offer at least Spanish class. In Japan it’s like 3 classes a week for English.
everything is so なつかしい〜
i still have my sowing kit (i'm 25) and i actively use it!
even my dad still has his
it is expensive but it's going to be with you for life!
小学生1年生に上がる時の用意する多さと全て名前を書く必要がある事に関しては私の母もとても苦労していました。36年前のことです。
裁縫も小学生から教えるのですね！私も裁縫道具を買ったけどあまり覚える時間は無かったかな。
今の小学生は覚える種類が増えているんので削っても良いとは想うんです。
最後にママさんが話していた木工用の彫刻刀は美術の木版画で使います。その辺も昔から変わってないのですね。
水彩画と版画は全然違うので楽しかった記憶はあります。 お子様達が楽しく学んで家に帰ってくると良いですね😊
Hope you are safe from the flooding and storms!
little dude is growing 👆a lot, and he's freaking cute 😊🫠😘 wish yall the best
All the children are so cute 😊
I’m watching this like 20 ish minutes before I need to leave for school (Friday am in Canada) this is normal! (Oh also 10:58 ish area, it’s called air dry clay, or modelling clay depends on where you live)
That's a lot of items for school. But I bet it totally worth it with all the things they get to do! I'd love to know where to get some of those items, like the art kits.
アメリカから見てます！
That so awesome that they teach things like that as a subject in learning I wished America did that also
ママが一通りその日に学校に持って行く教材をチェックしてくれています。
ただ、学校の雑巾での掃除時間は子供には違和感があると思いますが、みんなで後の人の事を考えて掃除して互いに末長く綺麗な心で挑みましょう...と言う先人からの言い伝えがありますので子供達にとって場合によっては意義深いものとなる様願っています✌️😊
うわ！来週の富士登山楽しみ❤
I use to live in Japan 3 years ago when I was in 4th grade I loved it I lived in atusgi air base
That's not terribly far from us.
This is so much ! Here in Germany when you enter school your parents just make sure you get the pencils from a list and some waterclores too, a backpack, a bag for sports clothing, a box and a bottle for food and drink (or parents can even buy drinks for the kids instead of fill up bottles at home), some folders and notebooks and depending on what colors youe school chose for the subjects you also need to buy colored plastic sleeves for the notebooks and match it to the thin folders in color and than you mostly buy 1 or 2 books for your kids since the other books are given to the kids by school, but most parents also buy clear sleeves for the books, even sleeves for books that the school gives you. Thats it, nothing else. Because most stuff is given to the kids by the school.
世の中の小学生は大変だ。いや先生も大変な時代ですけどね。良き学校生活を！！
Hi, these are quite a lot to organize. A few of the stuff you showed, in Switzerland is provided by the school- eg.: paint color, pencil, rubber, glue,... (if you bring the empty glue to the teacher you get a new one - if you lose it, buy a new one at the store. At least, as we outside Japan hear /"know": everything is neatly organized.
I have another request regarding school: Could you make a video about the school uniform? In Switzerland we don't know them. Knowing my own kids and how they "worked" with dirt, you must have a whole cabinet of uniforms. I'm interested in questions like: how many items of each part of the uniform you have, how long do they last (until they are worn out or to short), how many times a week is laundry-day, which part are mandatory and mandatory to wear in certain manner, what is free (for personal fashion "touch").
furthermore more, how do people handle the uniform if they haven't enough money: is there a second-hand market, does the school/city/some organisations provide money support. If I remember correctly when you moved to your actual location, the girls had to change school, so you got 2 set of Uniform needless, what did you do with them?
Could you make a little investigation for your school and how all these stuff is handled at other schools (around Tokyo)?
When we can't afford to buy uniforms, we get hand-me-downs from people we know, or ask the school to get donated ones. Depending on the school, used uniforms may be distributed at the bazaar. Normally, we prepare blazers, pants, skirts, etc. that are one size larger before entering the school. Then, when the child grows up and the uniform becomes smaller, the uniform is remade to fit the body size.
Uniforms are usually sold ready to be remade.We buy about two items that come into direct contact with our skin, such as Y-shirts, and wash them every day. Blazers and skirts can be washed in the washing machine, so we wash them depending on how dirty they are. In addition to uniforms, we also purchase gym uniforms (which we can also receive as hand-me-downs). Besides physical education class, we wear gym uniforms during classes where we sweat a lot and get dirty. Because gym clothes are easy to wash.
@@aquanomama215 "...on how dirty they are"... with my boys, this would have meant also wash every day 🤨.
@@aquanomama215 so if I interpret it correctly, the fabric is so good that the uniform doesn't "wear out" (at least) the time the kids are at a certain school - wow.
@@didierjud8086 That's true😂. When my boys were in Junior high, which is public junior high,they were told to change their uniform to gym uniform as soon as they arrive at school and they spent most of the day in gym cloths at school. Rules vary from school to school, and students in private schools seem to spend most of their time in uniform. If you attend such a school, you will need to buy or receive at least two blazers, pants, and skirts.
OMG. Those boxers that they keep in their desks! I have had mine for 40 years when mum brought it for me in Hong Kong and we couldn't figure out why Japanese people sold these boxes. Now I get it! Genius as always.
Ha ha!
