[QUOTE=genkaz92;50707002]It's fascinating to think about a "lost soul" that is just content with being a part of humanity, and an individual who doesn't necessarily care about where he/she ends up in life as long as it allows them to keep living, to me that is a very different perspective.
I wouldn't even label it as complacent, it's just free of defined ambition.[/QUOTE]
I used to have this perspective. At some point, I realized that if this is the only life I'll live, I might as well make it exciting; I don't want to be on my deathbed, hating myself for experiencing so little in life. Maybe it had to do with fear of failure, or I was just depressed, but so much has gone right for me ever since I changed my attitude towards life.
Here's another video about the location for those who are curious

But who does he poke as a man? Perhaps it could be reasonable to propose the statistical possibility that he poked a cat with his finger atleast once in his life, very gently, like on the paw for example.
Jesus christ that girl..i just want to give her a big hug.
Shes obviously not really happy and confused as fuck by her own emotions and the fact shes not entirely normal.
[QUOTE=Daniel Smith;50706966]Makes you wonder if that is really a 'bad' thing. I mean, most people's goal in life (at least in the developed world) is to get married, have a couple children and a house. And a career to get there. What if someone doesn't want any of those things? Would that make them ill?[/QUOTE]
The only thing I care about in that list, is having a job to get by and owning my own house.

I'd contest the 'Not normal' part, too me she seems like someone who's had the will and drive sucked right out of her by circumstances beyond her control, she strikes me as someone who's just given up trying.
And sadly, that's not something thats just seculded to Japan, it's everywhere. We just don't have these box rooms.
I meant due to her "fragile health" and that she didn't really expect to live this long
I get a strong impression of sadness and "i wonder what its like to be healthy and loved"
I'm not sure ..but i also get an impression of "do...do i start working for my future?..will i even live another five years? the fuck am i supposed to do? should i?"

Sounds like it could be a plot to an asian drama or anime right there
[QUOTE=Daniel Smith;50707108]If I had a few million dollars I might just travel around the world on foot.[/QUOTE]
I'd probably do that if I had no money tbh
if i didn't have a job or home to tie me down then i might as well just tramp around and see how far i get, maybe getting temporary jobs if i need money for clothes or trans-oceanic transportation
Who are any of us to sit here and judge, honestly.
[QUOTE=antianan;50707343]It's funny that a country that is often considered to be super advanced in tech still has those internet cafes. I mean, i can't even remember when i saw them last time, as all those things like high speed mobile internet, cellphones with a screen big enough to comfortably browse the web and just the fact that internet access itself is really cheap have essentially killed the industry of internet cafes.
Also those storefronts in the very beginning look retro as hell.[/QUOTE]
Japan is actually less advanced in a lot of tech ways. They use paper for everything as an example. Computers are rarer than for us.
They've got mobile phones everywhere, but computers? A lot of consumer tech? A lot of tech in employment - just doesn't exist.
