It would be very difficult to get hired in Japan at that age. The best place you would be able to work would probably be at a convenience store or some some fast food places.
2 :
According to Japanese labor law, you must reach the age of 16 before the end of the fiscal year in order to legally work. In other words, your 16th birthday has to come before next March 31. And of course if you don't have Japanese citizenship, you can't legally work anyway. Since your Japanese is limited, a retail job or a service job isn't plausible. You could always wake up early in the morning and deliver the newspaper. Or you could do family chores and earn your allowance that way.
3 :
I don't think so. Japanese Junior high and even most of High school are not allowing students to have a part time job. Besides, you are only staying in Japan for 3 months with a tourist visa? A student visa? No one will be allowing you to work without working visa. If someone found out, you'll be in a big trouble. Perhaps, you should save money before you leave for Japan.
4 :
Maybe you could get someone to pay you to count the number of questions each week we receive from teenagers that ask the same questions about living and working in Japan. You need to be 18, you need a visa, you need to speak fluent Japanese.
5 :
You can get some illegal, dirty and cheap job if you are in Japan and soon will be in monkey house at ease.
6 :
I think it will be hard. Even native Japanese are hard to find a part time job when 15. I hope this doesn't discourage you from coming to Japan.

There is no licensing required for general type imports. Only if you start importing certain foods and or animals. However importing is not a get rich quick proposition. In order to import for resale, you will need to import in volume. That volume will require anywhere from 6 - 10 weeks to receive your merchandise as it will be coming by Ocean Freight. You will also need a good customs broker in your area that can readily clear your items through customs. Just as important as the customs broker in the US is the Freight forwarder who prepares your shipment and all the associated paper work. You will need to answer many questions first. Who will you buy from? are they trustworthy? What products will you buy? Are they sell-able? Who will you sell to? What about pricing? Storage? Sales distribution in the US. Many steps involved. But it does pay off in the long run.

Military does not boost Okinawa economy, the money from USA goes to Japan, all of Japan. Did you know?

Military does not boost Okinawa economy, the money from USA goes to Japan, all of Japan. Did you know?
Some people are upset with my posts and that's alright. Get facts right and please don't make blanket statements as if you are the final word on the subject. Leading people to beleive what you said is the way it is in the military, because it obviously is not. TOM I, the money goes to the central government of Japan, which Okinawa is a part of, did you know? The central government gives back some to Okinawa, not all of it. We the people are being taken for a ride with the way military spending is going on with housing allowances and other items connected to bases overseas. Okay, some people posted it is cost effective to pay for an entire family to move to another country and live there. Under the presents system allowing so much money to be paid, should say over pay, for housing that surpasses many home in the USA . How is that worked out and where are the figures that the public and look at. To show it costs less.

military members deserve to have their family go overseas with them when at all possible. how can you begrudge military members a little bit of happiness for protecting your country? who gives a f*ck about the cost when some americans lose their life which is an even greater cost.
2 :
I guess you must be Japanese, and a bit upset about having a conquering army still based in your country after so many years, but, they are there for a purpose, that is a front line defence against enemies of Japan, and America. Japan is a very important country in the world and it needs to be defended, and the soldiers and personnel spend a lot of money that goes directly into the pockets of local businesses, right, so Okinawa does benefit greatly from their presence. Actually, I found it hard to understand your question, because your English is not very good, please try harder to understand English, but most of all, please try to understand that complaining will only create bigger problems.

Actually the military on Okinawa does boost the economy . You left out all the local jobs created because the US military is there. The US military members don't stay on base all the time, they spend their money in Okinawa. Also there is the economic impact of all the Okinawans working on the US military bases. The Okinawans government estimates the economic impact of the US bases on Okinawa as 173.7 billion Yin annually. That's 50 billion from service member spending 70 billion for land use rent and 52 billion in salary from Okinawans working on US bases.

so the money made in japan should go to the japanese if the usa want a base there they should pay the japanese. why do americans think they should have bases all around the world for free. the brits have bases all around the world to but we have to pay for our bases so why dont you. and the money should not nessacely go to one place in japan either. it should be spread out as there are poorer places in japan that okinawa. so some of the money should go there. i think its time the usa and the brits moved there bases back home. and let the world sort themselves out. terry

Housing allowances always vary with the local economy. Of course they contribute to the local economy they have money and they buy things. Dad living one place and the family living in another. Why could that be more cost effective? Not to mention its not just housing dollars and cents. Life with out Dad means increased childcare costs,stress on Mom and kids,(stress also means more sickness) and there are kids abandonment issues that every military family faces. Not to mention the fact that a lot of times when Dad is away he is in a dangerous place, actually fighting. Now remember, the military is making flights there anyway many times families just go along space available. That goes for shipping crates too I believe. If its too expensive to go along Mom and kids often go home to be near grandparents. The highest concentration of people live on both coasts. Guess where the highest real estate prices are? If you are from say Indiana ,you don't pay near what the east coast or west coast people pay for housing. My grandmothers two bedroom house in a small Indiana town sold for $35,000 , the same house in Connecticut would be around $250,000 , in California it would be around half a million. (Makes me wish I had put it on a truck and brought it over!) But most importantly, military families are separated so often that they would never get time together if they did not move with Dad. If you really want to find out where the costs run up though check out what it cost to put a coffee maker in. Or sheet metal screws, or any thing because they can't just buy them anywhere nope the Democrats made sure that the government cant buy from manufacturers unless they meet an exhaustive list of criteria. How many of each race and sex are employed there are they union? It goes on down the hill to suppliers too. there's your drain hole . How about you let the people who are protecting our nations freedom have the comfort of have their families near when they can. and drop it

That sounds like an issue for the Okinawans/Japanese to fight over.
7 :
I think I have figured out a couple of solutions to your problems.... How about turning yourself in for illegally receiving US Military stations? Someone will remove it from your TV and you won't have to make anymore "assumptions" about what you are watching. OR You could join the military "again" and see how things really are today. According to you, its life on easy street so give it a try! OR You could do some real research and find out where our government money is really going, who it is being spent on, and where it is coming from. It would seem to me that since you are getting some pretty heavy opposition on this issue, maybe you are not as right as you think you are. Agree?

Is being a porn star in Japan considered to be a good/respected profession?

Is being a porn star in Japan considered to be a good/respected profession?
I'm just curious. I know in the United States if you do porn, your record is pretty much tainted. And if you tell someone thats how you make your money it's kind of looked down upon. Is it different in Japan? Is being a porn actress a respected profession/a good career? (not that its not a good career here) I guess what I'm asking is if you tell someone in Japan that you're in the adult industry will they say "ohh, good for you!"?

Um...no. In fact, it's probably worse in Japan. All that stuff about Honor and Respect.
2 :
I'm guessing not.

You would make some people happy, but people would see you as a piece of meat.

8 :
Depends where you stand and the family's opoion on porn I know its strange but some people not only in Japan think if it pays good they dont care about the image its horrible yes but its there way not mine
9 :
noooo...it'd be really frowned upon in Japan. its all about respect in Japan. everything is done with respect...even passing a cup over to someone. being in the porn business is something thats looked down upon in every country i think. its not really an ideal job, its something people do if they have more beauty than brains and a quick fix to get some money.
10 :
My guess, it all depends on where in Japan you go, and who you tell. I would imagine you're gonna get a little of both. Some ppl like porn, and some ppl hate it. just depends on who u tell.
11 :
They'd probably respect u more if you got a job that actually required an education
12 :
Do you really think thats respected ANYWHERE in the world? smh
13 :
Japanese respects peopels privacy in General even if they are pornstars. We usually dont dwell into peoples personal lives or invade their space. we usually keep to ourselves

The Japanese are more conservative. They look down upon sex and porn stars.

No

No... Lol... It's not really good in any country.
