Day in the Life of an Average Japanese Salaryman in Tokyo

shibuya?

Damn...and i am here complaining about having a 40 hour week lol

A lot of the comments are saying how strange and overworked this guy is… it seems very similar to my life in London 😅

What a waste. And im not even like....2 minutes in. Naw. Working to change the work week to 4 days in the states....hoping the rest of the world that doesnt already do the 4 day week hops on board. Peoples lives shouldnt revolve around making someone else richer.

Years late but Paolo should revisit this coffee roaster for another day in the life video, I would love to see that

Geez no wonder these people are thin. Good diets combined with being on the move all the time.

Fuck that. 8 hours. No more

Coming from a 1099, he works self-employed hours of an American as a career man in Japan. It’s one thing to choose a self-employed work your wage career, it’s another thing to have most companies bought into a 12+ hour work day.

Wild, even after such a busy day, the man finds time to volunteer after work. Puts things into perspective.

Happy face / sad face. We didn't see the sad part

会社で残業すると怒られるから家で仕事しますよね……
給料はもちろん出ませんが……

Paolo, pls revisit Makoto. thanks.. we want updates xD

Toxic

If I had my own company I would work nonstop, but I sure aren’t giving my life to someone else’s company, that’s just me though.

Nice series but a 6pm wrap for Japan sounds unreal. Maybe I have stereotypes but would be nice to a side to the excruciating work culture of the country too.

That looks like such a miserable existence! Working 13+ hours a day, having no free time. Fuuuck all that. I'm glad I can just put in my 8 hours and be done with it.

Remember To Pray Before Eating And Drinking. Spread The Gospel.

I'd rather kill myself than live this nightmare.

How depressing

Wow, what a hard working young man. I love the respect in Japan, and the people. Awesome video. Thanks for taking us along. He seems to actually like his job, too! 👏

Dystopian hell

It’s because of this hard work, Japan is the most developed country in the world

Can we send some Gen Z kids to Japan to learn work ethic?

I guess I don’t understand if he’s salaried or hourly 🤔? I’m salaried, so there’s times when I get called into work or have to whip out my phone or laptop to sort out an issue, but he has a time card…

What impact E-Sims had on this line if work 😮😢😅

Dam tht office so small I would went crazy

The title of the video is a bit misleading. Day in the life? This man has no life

All replaced by AI soon, thye better have a plan for the culture shift thats happening. I love that this has sesame street vibes perfect for kids show. They are such a cute couple

In India we do the same 😅😅😅

Almost same like Hawaii. Cell twice as expensive. Rent about the same. Shopping for groceries and general goods a bit cheaper. Monthly total almost identical.

This proves how Japan isn’t all sunshine and rainbows.
The workers are literally worked to breaking point.
The problem is they are too polite and bottle up all that stress.
Would love to see a Japanese company that allows a bit of overtime but doesn’t make staff go out drinking every night or doing extra unpaid tasks after work.

The outro in his living room was very Wes Anderson style.!

This is why zen

Anytime I’m feeling unproductive towards my own personal goals outside of work, I watch this video

9hrs of lengthy calls, complex number crunching, wordy emails, and tense meetings per day might feel like a lot by the time 5PM rolls around, but it’s absolutely nothing compared to what this gentleman gets done in a day

Cloned races and their patterns

not locking the bike?

In America the youngest person in the office is usually the last to arrive to work and is on Facebook most of the days lol

The Dora the Explorer style of this video is quite strange

I wouldn't want to live anymore if this was my life 😢

Makoto wakes up at 7 and leaves the house at 715?? XD if i would do that i wouöd crash into a tree 🌲 i need at least an hour to properly wake up and habe my 6 cups of coffee 😂

I don't think this is okay 😬

Watching the video is exhaustive. The kind of workload Makoto carries is no less than a programmed machine.

❤

God damn, his life sucks. That's like torture.

him choosing to say in that company his whole career is odd. In America, it is becoming increasingly uncommon for someone that young to stay at a company their entire career. Everyone says you should change jobs every 2-4 years because you can gain new skills, responsibilities, and higher pay. Older people may stay with their company for a very long time, but for young people who live in a big city with an education, it's not common to stay at a place for a very long time
