Japan’s Weak Yen Situation and Japan’s Economy🇯🇵

I really hate how people are blaming foreigners recently.
They should blame the politicians and business leaders who have failed them for over 40 years.

"Becoming" poor? Where have you been the past 10 years? Sleeping under a rock? This started when Abe and Kuroda began to weaken the yen in about 2013 and got far worse when interest rates overseas made foreign currencies expensive and imported inflation to Japan.

In 1980, we in the West felt like Japan was already living in the year 2000!
In 2025, we see that Japan NEVER left 2000.
In fact, it appears they never even made it past 1999!

Good grief, what happened!?
They have been locked into 30+ years of Economic STAGNATION!
Their minimum wage in 2025 is the equivalent of $7.50 an hour!
There negative birthrate has resulted in a demographic where over 1/3 are now over 65, trying to survive on meagre pensions and young people are NOT getting married let alone having kids.
LONELY single men are living anti-social lives in 100 sq.ft “micro” apartments with ZERO ambition!
They have 9,000,000+ EMPTY Akiya houses which NO actual Japanese even want!?

Now, instead up being honest about their poor past decisions and “homegrown” issues, their far right has jumped onto the bandwagon of blaming “foreigners” for WHATEVER problems they face!
They are locked into a recipe for disaster. What will it look like in another 10 years?

あの～あなたの範囲外の経済のことまで言及する必要ありますか？
為替のこと本当に理解していますか？円安イコール弱いって意味じゃないですから。

don't know if side hustles for everyone are going to cut it tbh

the problem is the same everywhere.
the people cant and dont want to band together, work together, unite as one together to make serious changes for the better future.
you guys can run anywhere you guys want anywhere in the world like all those globalists did and still do till today, but you guys need to remember that you guys live in your own land and home and you guys cant outrun the system created by the globalists elites no matter where you guys run to !
i know and understand this is because its happening to me myself.
go create communities and return to nature and the solid basic foundations, go hoard knowledges as many as you can and store them physically a.k.a written with many copies just in case and store them secretly with few knows, why physically ? well because stored knowledges using software can be stolen by those who own the software apps. (for example usa, china, russia and singapore are heavily relying on data and information theft).

The entire West has been living beyond its means for at least 50 years, and now the reckoning is approaching! We cannot pay the debts, and living standards are about to plunge. Living costs in the UK are insane, and taxes are also rising so you have less money to buy more expensive items.

I understand that Japan hasn’t really had inflation for many years, but you have to understand, the entire rest of the world has this problem. The UK had a year of 10% inflation recently, and my salary went up about 2.5% in the same year.

I remember buying 200g of chocolate for £1 in 2000’s, now it’s 180g for £3. It’s an insane economic system.

Thank you for sharing. I recently started seeing videos on the changes happening in Japan. Well wishes! ❤🎉

i'm black american from the usa i wanna say that the price is also going up over here in the usa as well but i also heard is also going up in asia i don't like that everything is expensive lately now a days it's happening world wide in world regions which i think it's a nightmare to me this is why i always hate it the money system i aways wish everything was free without having to pay for anything but i'm not aganist ai at all i love embrace both organic and ai equally that's just my point of view perspective take mindset

As someone living in Japan I think one of the problems here is that very few people speak English and so the opportunities to make extra income are limited.
If you can speak English there are a lot of jobs available online that they could do as freelancers, earning more money than they could get in Japan.

I appreciate your thoughts and I give respect to your country. I wish you all the very best. Thanks to your channel, I have a better understanding of Japan and it's troubles and worries.

I'm sorry that the Japanese people are facing such a crisis. I'm afraid that investing isn't as common in other countries as the media may show. Vast majority of people in the EU either never considered investing or are actually afraid of it🥺 I wish that would change, because it could help a lot of people IF and only if done right. Also, I think that there should be an incentive (from the government) for the foreign investors to start farming related businesses in Japan. Like growing rice and other important crops. For example I'd love to move to Japan and start some businesses there, and my first business would be growing rice and some fruit (cheap and affordable strawberries for example). That would be my way of thanking Japan for accepting me. I would want to give something in return for the hospitality, while most of foreign investors only think about taking and raking in profits.

Japan has been propped up by the USA for a long time. Now its crutches have been kicked out from under it and it finds itself in the situation of Vietnam or Thailand. Labor costs need to come down and lifestyle will regress significantly.
