That's a genuine culture shock (compared to America at least). Is it true, is there a good source on this story?
These types of "Japan so polite" stories are 50-50 real or absolute bullshit fabrication.
I question if it ever really happened just based on the logistics of passing anything around a huge crowd in an uncoordinated manner and having it end up at its origin point.
The culture shock is someone thinking this wouldn't happen in the vast majority of societies lol
Americans and Brits would only do it if they knew in advance that it'd be televised, tbh. And they'd all be smiling like they're in on something
The weird thing to me is I can understand wanting the baseball as a collectors item, but why would you want to look at it for 5 seconds when there’s an actual game going on? You could see the ball in the air and in your hand, it’s going to look just like an other baseball. It’s not even signed yet (if she even managed to get it signed)
Japan is a place where you can leave your phone on the table at a Cafe while you go to the bathroom and still expect it to be there when you come back, but God help you if you left your nice umbrella in the communal umbrella holder on a rainy day.
I think there are lot more than 7 to 11 umbrellas that look the same out there 🥸
The crime rate and especially the murder rate compared the the US is shockingly different.
And then Japan did a wholesome enslavement/genocide in Korea, China, and a bunch of other places 🥰
Unfortunately, the past war crimes, were horrific and the lack of accountability for them remains an issue. I can not speak for the average Japanese citizen but I have a feeling most of the Japanese people are ashamed of the cult of personality of their past leaders and wish the current government would handle things like the controversies surrounding Yasukuni Shrine differently. Much like most American's don't support Trumpism.
Trumpism
But do they support literally any other of our war criminal presidents? Why do you all act like America was somehow a force for good and not terror before Trump was elected?
Wow they must have stayed for hours after the actual game if everyone in the stadium got a look.
if someone took it they wozld have been shamed by everone around i think that would happen in most cultures hinestly
Ever watch NPB? It's such a different vibe at those games.

Was this thought up and typed and by a human?
How do you enter a normal, mostly innocent thread, see this, and go on with your day? What primordial minded toddler thinks this is insightful?
Because of the title and the comments trying to talk about Japanese culture and idolizing this being that I think it’s fair to mention that we shouldn’t attempt to replicate this as it is endemic in Japan and widely socially acceptable
You have very little connection to the post's actual subject. No one wants/needs to read this under a nice story about baseball, ffs. AFAIK nothing about the post is meant to prove a point. Some people dont have their trauma/threat receptors completely blown out from years of desensitization, so you can imagine why following this wholesome story up w/ "Mmm statistikully speaking, methinks she's lucky not to be molested. Checkmate libs 😏" would be... jarring.
This is why women dont come to you when harassment happens. You see a girl in a news story and immediately think of the possibility of her being r-ped. You'd absolutely have a different line prepared if the subject was a Japanese male
My issue is that the comments and title are contributing to the idolization of Japan which ignored the actual issues. Maybe I didn’t phrase that frustration correctly. You’re not wrong about that but the reason I commented that was because I am starting to get more and more angry at the complete whitewashing of Japan that these posts always seem to be incurring
Develop better situational awareness and remember there are regular, moral-minded people on this site. That is all.
One of the highlights of my life was having a chance to live with a family in the Tokyo suburbs - in Akitsu Higashimurayama. Miss them so much. お母さん に 会いたい な～
they don't import immigrants from third world countries
They do though.
They pay billions and billions of yen to import bottom barrel people from a failed state.
They put these immigrants in useless things called "United States Military Bases" and then spend billions of yen more trying to stop these thugs from killing and raping locals.
I once heard someone claim that Japanese trains were more on time than British trains because "the Japanese didn't erase their culture with immigrants" still don't fully understand how immigrants are making the train late.
I told the Brits that their melanin-based rail signaling system made no sense, but they just wouldn't listen.
okay just kill yourself
and korea would like to have a word with you
On god we gonna keelhaul you brother. You are getting scaphed like a Persian galley boy soon inshallah
Every year I go to Japan and pour a little more radioactive slurry into the Fukushima water to make sure it never recovers
You're a 'mutt' too, "Valentino". And I wouldnt have any qualms if someone treated you like an actual dog.
I don't exactly understand what is remarkable here. But maybe that is because I'm not from the USA.
my comment didn't make sense...was think comment right below this...
