Why Tinder Sucks In Japan

People on tinder you see are very different depending on where you are. Each place has its own unique feature: from my experiences, you find a lot of people who work in the film industry in LA, and you find a lot of business people in NYC.. How are Japanese people on tinder?

1) They don't show their face

Some people don't put a single picture that shows their face in their profile, but they'll send one to you if you match. (I don't understand why they think girls/boys would swipe right without seeing their face.) It's because some of them don't want their friends to know that they're on tinder, which would directly mean they're looking for some sexual attention. In Japan, friends NEVER share their sex life with each other unless they're drunk.


2) Food Porn

Japanese guys will take you out to lunch or dinner if you match with one, so the guys want to show that they have a good taste in food. 


 3) Nerdy Foreigners 

 One of the reasons why people choose to come to Japan is anime. It's wrong to stereotype, but anime lovers are a bit nerdy. (No offense)

I'd like to list more in the future. Stay tuned!


4) "I (don't) smoke cigarets."

There are a lot of people who put whether if they smoke or not in their bio.
By the way, it's cigarets, not weed when they say they smoke: weed is very illegal here.

Dark Side of Japan's Comedy Company

A couple of Japanese famous comedians were forced to retire their careers by the president of Yoshimoto Kogyo Co., one of the biggest companies in the comedy industry. It was because those two had sales associated with anti-social groups without the company's assist: it's called "Yami Eigyo", which means Black Sales in English. After the announcement, those two, Miyasako (left) and Ryo (right) asked to have a press conference to tell the media and public what actually happened, but it took more than enough time to actually make it happened; the president of the company was threating Miyasako and Ryo saying "I have the power to fire everyone." when they were begging him for a chance. On July 20th, 2019, Miyasako and Ryo finally got a permission and told the truth to the media. They revealed some conversations they had with the president, which were eventually considered as harassment. For instance, "Are you recording now?" the president wa

The Purpose of Petition For #KimOhNo Was Changed Into Something Different

Image
Many Japanese people showed their furious emotions about Kim Kardashian West for naming her new shapewear brand "Kimono". Kim dropped it after all the petitions, tweets and letters everyone had sent. Especially the petition  made change with 136,892 supporters.  However, Sono Fukunishi, who started the petition later tweeted that she was trying to register Kimono to Intangible Cultural Heritage with the petition for #KimOhNO, and some people were against it. The comments to her tweet were "You can't just change the purpose of the petition, even though this whole thing is not completely finished yet.", "It is not nice that you're trying to do it without everybody's permission." and "I didn't join the petition because I wanted Kimono to be Intangible Cultural Heritage."  In the end, Sono apologized through Change.org. One of the problems might be being able to change titles, body texts and photos while the petition is g
