Which hobbies do Japanese think are the cutest/coolest to pursue? Survey responses seem to indicate hobbies with a perceived air of sophistication are just the thing…
1. English conversation
2. Horse riding
3. Piano playing
4. Diving
5. Tennis
6. Violin
7. Home cooking
8. Baking
9. Interior decoration
10. Japanese tea ceremony
Gender differences between responses were slight – in particular, English conversation came top in the eyes of both men and women, demonstrating that the English conversation school industry still maintains an air of cosmopolitan glamour and cultivation despite its obvious lack of efficacy in improving the English language abilities of the Japanese.
Fortunately for the self esteem of Japan’s hard-pressed otaku, the survey did not even bother to include doll fiddling and figure fancying, so the lower ranks were occupied by comparatively innocuous hobbies such as karate and dog styling.
yea just a bunch of boring hobbies, except for Piano Playing that’s ok
horse riding for men seems just gay and not cool at all. Also,why English conversation?It sounds gay to speak English if you’re Japanese to begin with + English is already practiced all over the world,they should start practicing conversations in German instead (because German is the best language since it doesn’t have those gay phonetics as English has and can be spoken quite easily with much less accents and gruesome stress on the wrong syllables <_< Basically,all you need is to learn German and Cantonese to be able to speak all major languages of the world with the least accents,so you should practice those instead of English and foreigners going to Japan should practice Japanese conversation instead(because the other way around,most foreigners can't pronounce Japanese words right,may it be the stress (like in Germany) or generally wrong spelling
(like in America, they can't read anything without phonetic transcription because their vowel-pronounciations are messed up)…
Interior Decoration! (woot)
Well, fortunately, I’m student of Interior Design at college 🙂
