Standard Answer: I came to Japan by mistake.

until those jijis and babas get extinct, the more you work the more you just are exploited by them.
and it will at least take 20 years for them to get extinct. so gather your belongings and fuck off from this island as soon as possible without thinking about something uncalled for and delete all of your memories about japan from your brain.
adios dude
May be a natural reaction for humans; if you feel locked in somewhere/something, then all you want is to get out. I can very much relate to that, likely called my place a prison more often than anyone around me would have wanted to hearwagyl wrote:Now that is interesting: the last two posts are by people with family ties which keep them here (and I think Taro has other reasons to be here) and both show that they feel that if they had the chance they would not be here.

There is Some truth in that especially with the demographics as they are. However, just waiting them out isn't the answer - Young people really have to get angry enough to force some root and branch changes. Salariman orthodoxy and culture needs to go. The subsidy money that goes to the tired old corporations needs to be redirected to young people to be supported and facilitated to set up new businesses. The restrictive practices and protections from newcomers need to go to - There are plenty of very good people but they are being muzzled, gagged and caged. And marginalised.
But there will need to be some fighting for it and regrettably there is little to no sign of that happening - far too many are content to stay single, serve time and just live at home. The ultimate just wait them out strategy.
So there you are Tacky. There won't be change unless people start demanding it and refuse to take no for an answer. It happened in the west some time ago. The results haven't been an unalloyed success - And there have been losers - but there isn't really an alternative.

The agent told us that he would have no problem at all to find young people who would want to start a farm, but "JA-law" makes it almost impossible to buy/sell agricultural land freely. OK, he is an agent, but I think there is still a bit of truth in what he said.
And I think that nowadays young peeps here don't fight for their dreams...

Kind of a chicken and egg problem.
