What are your thoughts on Japan's bedroom shut-ins known as hikikomori?

The Jewish population in Japan may be tiny (IT'S UNDER 9000!), but there's a long history of exchange between Jewish and Japanese culture. Here's some historical background and a list of stand-out Jewish characters in anime, manga, and light novels.

The History of Jews and Japan

Judaism and Japan are two words you don't normally think of together (if you're not coming up a list of proper nouns beginning with the letter J, anyway). Japan's Jewish population numbers around 2000, only .0016% of the Japanese population, with just two synagogues in the whole country. Yet there's actually quite a bit of history regarding the relationship between Japan and the Jewish people.

When Japan opened up its borders to the outside world in 1853, Jews were among the many foreign settlers. Jewish communities developed in Yokohama and Nagasaki in the late 19th century, but following the Russo-Japanese War and the 1923 Kanto earthquake, Japan's Jewish population had centered itself primarily in Kobe (today, one of two cities in Japan with an active synagogue, the other being Tokyo). The Jews of Kobe came from many places but mainly from Russia; many of the original Kobe Jews were freed Russian prisoners from the 1905 Revolution.

In the 1930s and '40s, Japan allied itself with the Nazis. For all the many horrific actions of Imperial Japan however, they were surprisingly not very anti-semitic considering their military alliances. The infamous Protocols of the Elders of Zion, an anti-semitic hoax document the Nazis used to promote conspiracy theories about Jews taking over the world, was published in Japan at this time, but the reaction was very different from in Europe: without the embedded traditional European Christian attitudes associating Jews with the Devil, the response of many Japanese leaders was more along the lines of "Hey, we wanna take over the world too! Let's get the Jews to help us!" Japan refused to enact policies of anti-semitic discrimination despite pressure from Germany, and the Japanese occupied quarter of Shanghai served as a rePost too long.

What does the choir sing?

Also, is there any hype for this movie at all in Japan? It's hard to tell from (5)2ch, since their Godzilla threads seem to be spammed to hell.

What do japanese anons think about ｎｉｇｇｅｒｓ? I would imagine most of their racial hatred would be towards chinks and koreans (and maybe jews? are japanons awoken to the human-shaped blight?) but considering their government is now encouraging (((immigrants))) because tokyo bugmen are finally collapsing under the weight of their grandparents and great grandparents, i could see nog-anguish being more relevant.

The film market in Japan is not only home to Hollywood titles and to some extent Chinese and Korean films, but Indian movies are making a mark as well. And it is not just Bollywood that is charming its way into the hearts of the Japanese audience. Regional films from the southern market too have a huge fan following.

Talking to Moneycontrol, Pranab Kapadia, President of Marketing and Distribution for UK, Europe & Africa Operations, Eros International Plc, said, "Japan, like any other non-traditional market, is important as it opens new avenues for monetisation of content that has already been exploited amongst core Bollywood audiences."

"Already we have seen Rajnikanth films have a good following amongst mainstream Japanese audiences, now that is translating to select Bollywood films as well. This is a good sign for the industry," he added.

Akshay Kumar-starrer Padman, released in Japan on December 2018, raked in $671,455.64 (Rs 4.78 crore approximately). Another Bollywood flick Bajrangi Bhaijaan starring Salman Khan, $196,062.46 (Rs 1.39 crore). The film released in Japan on January 18 this year.

Dead board

A general topic thread to discuss japanese citizenship and all it entails whatever that may be…

>Do you want Japanese citizenship?

Not really since I would rather work in the United states… I will definitely be making 3x more here than if I were to teach english in japan… I have no interest being an english teacher ANYWHERE at all, really.

>Do you want to marry somebody with japanese citizenship?

Yes of course I want a waifu. Speaking of this, does a woman lose her japanese citizenship if she gains US citizenship? How would cohabitation work?

wtf is this brown drink i've seen so many times? is it juice or something? i think i only saw it once in real life but it seems common enough in anime that it might be a real thing. haven't been able to find anything by searching "lol what's that brown shit japs drink". maybe ice tea? i've almost always seen it depicted as being in a large clear rectangular container in the fridge.
