Japanese High School

INTERVIEW!!!

Also, vid is "No longer available" on my end

good luck with the interview Danny, always wishing you a good luck in everything that you do ^^

if only i will be born again =_=

Huh take the uniforms away and this Japanese high school looks a little like an average American high school... or at least the one I go to

I'm just so envious~
The girl from 2:22-3:38 is definitely fit to be an idol. d(^_^)b

^^ Interview~~~

So many cute girl in his class. My high school life are quite boring, going to an all boy school ;_;

^o^ Really cool! I would like to see a vid of the interview Danny!

viva la school girls

wow she's adorable

love this video, he's so lucky!

"there is a suspicious man by the school gates. Please go home directly after school."

Danny, I'm sure if you just went up to the school and introduced yourself, they wouldn't have to make announcements like that. ^_^

The girls don't cover their mouths when they laugh anymore. Times change. :) It used to be considered polite, but I like both. The laugh behind the hand was demure. The open laugh is more like I'm used to though so feels more "normal".

Pretty much like any other classroom i guess.. :) though they seem to keep their rooms neat and organized..

Back in my HS days, our classrooms were like landfills. Sometimes it looked like a war zome xD

Actually it's quite noisy there, considering that the teacher is in the class already...

Sukebe oyaji... >.> Maybe she should suspicious of Danny ^^;;;;

I remember my school used to tell us "Remember, when you wear your uniform you are representing your school! So behave and make us proud"- or something along those lines~.
A year later there was an article in a newspaper called The Metro about school kids behaving badly on public transport and there was a picture of some boys wearing our uniform messing about in the train XD

Danny, npnt hehe. Remember, pics plox.

That one girl is so adorable; whish I could go to such a school....oh wait, then I'd be the pervert lurking at the gates ^^;

WOW!! Eigo!! They spikh teh English!! They didn't last time i went there.... lolol.

I wonder how he made it to that high school. Was he on foreign exchange? It would be hard for anyone else to get in regularly seeing as it's a really good school.

haha it's exactly like our sch in singapore!!! even the rules minus the perverts at the gates,though the reasons for the rules r different.instead of worrying about student welfare, the our schools dont want us to soil the school image by headin out to malls after sch.no loitering round the malls or even macdonalds in school uniform*if caught student will face upto 2 hrs detention haha

I for one, know that I won't be that lucky to be in one..

is the interview ok with her school regulations?? ^^
Well I expect some photos at least.. lol

"...the girls were not allowed to wear their school uniform into a restaurant - one of the reasons being that perverts lurk here n there."

I honest don't know what to say about this...

Thats really cool. I wonder how cool or bad it would be to teach english in Japan. I remember reading Danny's post about that and his friend how hes on the Japanese english learning program thing...Im going to need to go find that again...

Video interview~~~~~~~~~~

i like the girl at 7:46. naka naka kawaii

Interview her? Hell yes! If you do that than I'll be forever in your debt. Post pictures and vids too!!! LOL XD

I have a question: At the beginning of the video the students are roaming around the classroom even though the teacher started writing on the board. Why is that?

The girl at 2:22 is pretty! X3

Adorable...Hope to see a video as well...

so many cute girls.
like the dark black hair.

i was on a only boy´s allowed school. very very boring xD

Quite excellent.

It's exactly like in animes, or even better with the presence of cute girls..(2:22)
Ugh..WAY better than my high school..

The video 'The truth about being an Exchange Student in Japan' is also worth watching.
Yep, being an exchange student in a non-English speaking country is tough..
I guess that only native Japanese (or someone who understands Japanese really well) can fully enjoy the high school life..>_<

Urgh, trying to reduce my "sweets" now. Curse my family's history of diabetes!

Great :o

Hmmmm...that regulation may be a bit strict.

I remember back in high school, a private one so uniforms were standard...and made the girls quite cuter, they didn't really impose any regulations or restrictions on student activities once school session ended. Of course, that's all aside any illegal activity.

During this one widespread incident where a pair of murderers were on the loose they sternly advised all students to not take any detours while going home. They had teachers escort students to certain places once school was over.

Other than that, it's all freebie at the bell ring.

damn that girl is cute.

she's cute

This video can't be real! No girl in the class had Antenna hair or cat ears, let alone they didn't have green or blue or pink hair and no one had a tiny floating friend with wings next to them all the time! That cannot be a Japanese HS. . . . .

Joking, looks like a lot of industrious students who are trying really hard to do good.

That is great. A nice school.

Oh gosh
I really want to go to Japan now

That's a very nice vid. And they only show a little bit of shyness, but that's probably because they know the student who is filming them.

An interview in school uniform would be lovely ^^ (you can blur her eyes if you want)

I've been a subscriber of AkikaTom for quite a bit now (just before i lurked more on YouTube for japan culture and discovered Danny's trooper vid). His Vlog is pretty interesting as it's about his life as an exchange student in Japan. ^^

cool ^^ thx 4 the vid ^^

An "Interview" huh? Sure you dont count as a creepy old man? ^_^

Suspicious man? One that wears Stormtrooper armor? ;)

*only joking*

lol several nose bleed!! hehee

i see a shy guy, i hope i get to visit one day.

Awesome!
Seems more strict than American high schools, but I kinda envy kids who get to go to high school in Japan...

Who is the group playing during the vid? I checked the profile and couldnt find out. thnks. :)

Amazing. I'm lost for words!!!

akitatom is an ex-exchange student who basically left his school because he had a bit of trouble with his homestay folks. The schoolblog vids he made were of his time at the school in Akita before he left. His later vids are of his time in nagoya with his mysterious female companion (is she his girlfriend? is she his wife? is she his evil twin sister? is he her slave?).

One of the biggest mysteries right now is how he is managing to stay in Japan now that his student visa has logically expired. Is he on a spouse visa? Did he get some kind of job that provided him with a work visa? All very strange and he never answers these questions either as far as i know.

Can someone help me out on this one? :P I'd really like to know what the hell is allowing him to stay in Japan.

T.T *Tears of joy* Its everything I imagined and more!

Seemed like they were all pretty laid back. It was funny watching the people who were camera shy.

This video will totally help me with my Screenplay :D

Really wish the music was quieter so I could hear what they were sayingxD

Hmm... ok gotta remind myself not to hang around in front of a school when I go to Japan ^^;

I'm surprised he's allowed to tape the inside of the classroom with none of the students' faces blurred. "There is a suspicious man inside the classroom with a video camera... please say hi" XD

Ah, the class cleanup too, cool :D

That was pretty cool.

awesome...

Awww the shy guy sitting in front of the classroom was really cute! :3

OMG... I am a high school teacher in Australia...

And I have the biggest crush on their teacher right now... LOL

べんきょ　べんきょ　べんきょ!!! The more I study, the faster I can get to Japan. Because this video just increased my reasons for going.
I have a theory that Danny is posting this stuff to increase his magnetic field so that one day we all start flying towards him. I feel the pull already.　

wow...i attend private Catholic high school in the US, and this seems a LOT like my classrooms!
a little bigger, though...there was a fair amount of students there. our classes only have 10-15 students a piece. XD

...anyway, the uniforms are nearly the same, except the girls don't wear a tie of any sort. which is unfortunate; i think they're really cute! i would kind of like to try it, but you never see girls wear ties around here unless they're trying to be "punk." LOL

lots of people say that they don't like the uniform, but i do (i think it's cute!)...would you like to wear a uniform to school? maybe it's just me...

...wow, that comment ended up being longer then i intended. o_O

Hm if only I knew more girls like this...

That was interesting... A lot more interesting than my school life was at least ._.

You pervert! Please take a lot of photos :D

I going to study abroad in few more year got to save up another 5k left

I was planning to take an exchange student courses but unfortunely I was too old and ended up going for an language school instead.

Anyway I also have a friend who's studying in high school but she's at Fukuoka and going there might take some time. ^^;;

Akita Tom seems to have a more exciting life than me haha.

:P
i wish

If I was 17 or 18 years old again and if I was in a Japanese High School, I would have a blast ! If you look at my background, I teach part time at a local University and I find the students are a blast.

Envying others won't do you any good. I plan to make the best out of my college life now. My high school years were pretty lame and had a friend who was using me, didn't notice till the last days before graduation(thought he was a good friend), but now I think he was even lower than me in status.

Oh man, the last thing I thought I'd hear on this vid was the voice of home (Brissie, Australia)... Gonna have to go check out more of the vids.

I remember my old highschool had a sister school in Japan, doesn't look like the same one though.

"Am actually meeting her tonight and will ask if she would do an interview in uniform ^^;"

Tsk tsk, Danny... :o

love the video tom makes, too bad he had to quit being an exchange student, very unfortunate

Ugh, I wish I took the exchange to Japan during my High School year, didn't even realize it existed until I graduated :K

Loved the video, thanks for posting it Danny! :D

That was really cool. Not many occasions to see the real deal, without some paranoid start flaming and throwing ill-conceived accusations.

Curiosity is healthy and unbiased testimonies like this are great! Thanks akitaTom!

Japanese High School look so good and fun, hope i can visit in future

Hello friends ..I am new here

I want to make a cute japanese friend ....

Friends i am new in Japan

waa, schools there looks so cool, Teachers here doesn't dress like that to teach a class, not even in the university. Did u get invited to a party?

Wow wonder if he's really that close to all of his classmates I find him a tad bit annoying lol.

damn cute.. just like in jdoramas and anime, i like how they aren't bitchy like girls here who know they look good.

Wow, that whas cool. I'd have loved to be in a Japanese school, all with uniforms (even teachers), all clean (amazing the we-all-clean-the-classroom at the end, and they moved all in line, like robots) and nice. They sure give great importance to education in Japan (unlike here, that they have the teachers starving and making stops, no materials, no seats, ceilings falling down in most schools, bleh...).

And I in particular love the male buttoned suit, I wish I'd wear one...

There were cute girls in his class indeed (2:25 FTW), but also scary ones (like the slow-motion one xDD), but funny :P

GL with the interview!

i wud love to go to a japanese highskool. the thing is i cant read or understand japanese...yet. :]

o_o i'm surprised it looks so similar to my school..

Heh, it sorta looks like my Honors classes do. It's too clean to be a normal class around here.

I always relate high school in Japan = godly anime-plot comedic romance life (Toradora!) or a very, very sad one (School Days).

For the ones studying English in that classroom, why weren't they practicing their English w/ the interviewer?

The cameraman seemed to enjoy getting in everyone's face XD
I thought Japanese people in general didn't like being filmed for something that would go public?

In a high school here, they are not allowed to wear their uniform outside school, not because of perverts, but more of some of the students do stupid things in it and causes the reputation of the school to decline.

Anyway, interesting information

cute girls and ninjas

their class looks so intresting compaired to mine.. xd

The first thing I noticed was how loud it was even though the sensai was in the room. At my high school, everybody gets quiet when the teacher comes in. OMG that girl at the 2-3 minute mark was so kawaii!!! I can understand why she was a little suspicious of the camera guy. I did not know that girls weren't allowed to wear there uniforms in public restaurants. i think that is a very smart idea seeing how kawaii it is and how it might trigger.... something... lurking... inside.... **nosebleed** LMFAO

woooo! I just love em schoolgirls^^

"perverts lurk here n there" -> love that :)
What I like about jp skools are their uniforms. Uniforms are not obligatory over here, thus students tend to wear casual cloths all the time which I find booooring :(

that chick around the 3minute mark is kyooot!

Funny and good video.
One of the high school girl is cute in video.

Reminds me of the public middle school i used to go to in america.
The international school i go to isnt as...lively i guess...

Looks pretty standard to me. Japanese school are more set to learning and less to all the major sporting team.

The worst thing about watching this video is that I remember visiting a Japanese middle school when I went there for a homestay...

And all of a sudden now I'm in college. WHY DID I MISS OUT ON GLORIOUS HIGH SCHOOL?!
