Japanese people always eat sushi

Okay, I can imagine a lot of you go "Nooooo! I know that's just a stereotype". But let me tell you, a lot of people I've met outside Japan had a real wrong idea. Personally, my family would only have it once or twice a month, but some people even think every two days! Let me get some stats.


According to a research done by a company called MyVoice in Japan, it seems like more than 50 % of people eat sushi once to three times a month




(The figures taken from MyVoice)

Okay, so it seems like I'm an average. But there are some people who'd have it more than once a week, and SOME DO NOT EAT AT ALL!

I guess the figure comes from the fact that, in Japan, sushi tends to be associated with the food that people have in some kind of special occasions. Also, nigiri sushi is not a home food (at least for the majority of people), so it's a meal that we'd have to go to the restaurant to have.

But yeah, I'm thinking about writing an article that looks at some of the bizarre stereotype of Japan that's just not true, keep looking out!

Also, if you have any question about Japan like "is it true that people do this" or "why do they do that" please don't hesitate asking me either by commenting on the articles or sending a direct message by Twitter

Back number

This article will introduce a Japanese boys rock band, which has increased its popularity among young girls in the last few years. It's called "back number", and they are famous for their unique lyrics, which is, most of the time, referred to as being girly. It's written from the boy's point of view most of the time, and the boy that comes up are often quite pessimistic, to a point it's really cute to hear him think so negatively. (I've actually introduced them a little bit in the previous article about a movie called " Tomorrow I will date yesterday's you " Taken from their official website For example, let's take a look at the lyrics of "Takane no Hanako San". (Takane no Hana in Japanese means a woman who is very difficult for guys to reach, because of her status and appearance) The song starts off saying "I know I am only a friend of a friend of yours" yeah, pretty depressing. My favourite bit is when it...

Drowning knife (Oboreru Knife) - Japanese movie

Image
This week, I'll introduce you another Japanese romantic movie that was released this winter, which is "Drowning knife (Oboreru Knife). I went to see it, and I was really impressed by all the beautiful scenes that appeared on the screen. Natsume and Kou, taken from the official website Brief story: Natsume, a 15 year old girl who is also a popular model, moves for far from Tokyo for her family reasons. She was completely bored living in the countryside, but she meets Kou, a boy so different from everyone in the way he lives in a complete freedom. Although not getting on well at the beginning, Natsume eventually realises she is so attracted by Kou, and they'd eventually get together. They felt like they could do anything if they stayed together. However, a tragic event happens on a day of summer festival. Feeling of strength broken, the bond between them break too. What decision will they make at about their future...? Yeah, it was quite difficult to write the b...

Arashi -2-

Time for another article about Arashi :) (The last one can be found here ) In this one, I'm gonna introduce each of the 5 members and tell you why they are so great :P Satoshi Ohno (One word to describe him: talented) Satoshi, the leader of Arashi, is an extremely talented guy. He is a real artist, as he can dance, sing, and draw exceptionally well. Despite his job as an idol, he had an exhibition of his art twice, across Japan and China. They all ended in success. His skill of dancing and singing are especially shown when he performs his solo in the concert, although you can see that clearly when he is performing with other members too :) What I think makes him attractive to the fans is the fact that he always looks so chilled, and doesn't seem passionate at all in what he's doing especially when on TV, but once he starts performing, you just cannot take your eye off him. (His famous episodes include him falling asleep while recording a TV show that was going to ...
