How to Get a Wife: Japanese TV Commercial Method

March 23, 2020

If you worry about finding a wife, a commercial in Japan shows the easy way. People have been too worried about the dating piece of the puzzle. That puzzle piece is gone.

All you need are a few clear, specific questions. You just wait until you get a match.

1st question: What type of food do you like?

She likes rice.

He likes rolls. 

Close, but no match. Go to the next question.

2nd question: What do you like to do in your free time? 

She likes collecting flower petals. 

He likes to stand in nature thinking about flower petals.

 No match. Go to the next question.

 3rd question: What pet would you like? 

She likes dogs.

He likes dogs.

Dog! Matching.

Go to the wedding.

No planning needed. Especially helpful is to pass dating, as that could cause problems if she found out that you have no table manners or have the conversation skills of a rock or stuffed animal.  

And of course, pass meeting the parents. Parents might ask  questions, like, “Why do you think about flower petals all the time?” I wouldn’t have an answer.

So, straight to the wedding makes life easier.

Now we know that all you need to have in common is for both people to like dogs and the wedding follows. What if the couple actually researched the cost of getting married in Japan, which is about ¥3.34 million (US $30,000)?

Oh, rent a new apartment with all the initial costs in Japan of 60,000 yen per month for the apartment, which is a very inexpensive and small apartment. Other costs include:

  

Cost	Yen	Dollar
1-month rent	60000	553
Key money (2 months) *	120,000	1106
Realtor fee	60000	553
Down payment	60000	553
Total	300000	2765

*  Key money, sounds like a nice word for down payment, right? Wrong. It is a polite word for a gift to the landlord for the right to rent the apartment. (Yes. Read again, this is true.).   Two month’s rent for the right to rent.

Fortunately, recently there are more apartments available without key money. You just have to find them!

Ok, so for 300,000 yen you can move in the apartment, which happens to be empty, as in really empty: no lights, no refrigerator, no oven, no drapes.

Time to go shopping!
And the apartment does not allow dogs!
