I just watched this show on iPlayer and it changed my view of Japan drastically. It follows a "working poor" couple, and they open up on camera about their situation, the stress of work, and the problems with their relationship, and how Japan treats poor families under it's conflicted communist-capitalist regime.

It's a brilliant documentary.

Stop dreaming the lalelula land. A state does not have anything to give for free, not even death. If you want your socialism then you would have to give up your personal sovereignity and become a real slave, and not just a system slave as of now.

I disagree. I think the journalist adds an intersting perspective, and I shared some of the opinons he had. So to say it 'would have been good' and that he was 'stupid and clueless' is a contradiction as he was the one who chose the direction and the material in the first place the conscious decisions he made. It's obvious that he made the right choice to centre the program around Noaki and his partner. They were thoroughly enjoyable to watch.

He was never obtrusive, he let the couple do the talking, or lack of, and never lead the conversation for entertainment purposes. His present of Viagra to Yoshie's father seemed instrumental in bring Naoki into the family.

He's a short documentary by an australian program that I'd like to recommend. It's about legal reform (in japan) that is trying to stop shit like 99% conviction rates and 0% citizen participation in the legal process.

I'm not the guy you're talking to, but never in my wildest dreams could I have imagine how shitty their lives was. I always thought people were just exaggerating about working for 15 hours just to be able to make ends meet. I always thought the Japanese businessman was happy, but looking at every person in that office, none of them were happy. I wonder if the animation and video game industry is just as (what's the word I'm looking for) pathetic. Did people have to suffer to deliver me an episode of Spice and Wolf? Is the CGI artist contemplating suicide while working on the latest Final Fantasy game? I wonder if it's the same for China and North Korea?

I guess in the end the west won. My brother went and got a quick 9 hour job and he was able to afford his own apartment and car. Said apartment was big enough to support multiple people. Why is it that life is so much easier for us westerners. I'm beginning to think Japan's GDP is a myth. They're not really the second richest nation. If any other Nation worked that much hours they would have the second biggest economy too.

The problem is how the legal system has become it's own zaibatsu and as a result you get the corrupting relationships in it, such as judges feeling oblieged to support the prosecutor etc. An effective jury would be one that is forcibly seperated from this whole relationship.

Rolling back the crazy powers of the police would really help as well.

>> No.2348487

>>2348453

GDP itself is the real myth. It handicaps Japan (and countries in Asia in general) because the people there don't spend every dollar they get the second they get it on stupid shit, and then use credit cards on top of all that to buy even more shit. That seriously hurts GDP stats.

You don't have to be rich in order to give him some money. If I was living in Japan and I knew where he lives I'd give him some money. I hope that brit documentary guy gave him some money at the end.
