WAKAI DESU KARA
I have been working with the Japanese since 1980. I met almost every type of Japanese people such as Workers, Singers, Comedians, Journalists, businessmen, scholars, and other Well-known Japanese artist. My personal attention to Japanese culture and their lives are almost interested and have made me, without realizing, that I almost speak fluently (bera bera) in Nihon go.
In the early year I met Japanese, when I was around my twenties, I felt that the Japanese way of life was different with the current situation. For example when I worked with them at the early beginning time, say in 1980~2000, most of them were an almost old men. I was almost the youngest among them at the time. The young man always stayed behind them. “Wakai desu kara” (Because they are Young).
But nowadays I don’t see that situation happening anymore. It seems that the young people have taken over the place and stay in front. And now when I work with them I am almost the oldest in the group.
Tsunoda-san, who was JICA Consultant, wrote me that Young Japanese now have more earn income with less experience and the old people have less income but more experience and he said; ” wakai desu kara “
