I'm Japanese. I Stopped Going to Convenience Stores.

Japanese convenience stores hit record sales five years in a row. And Japanese customers keep leaving. Both are true. This video is about why. I'm Yuya Matsudaira. I grew up with these stores, spent half a year traveling twenty-five countries missing them, came home — and stopped going. This is my attempt to explain that, with actual numbers. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ CHAPTERS 0:00 Intro 2:25 Chapter 1 — Growing up with this store 8:07 Chapter 2 — I don't dislike it. I just stopped going. 10:28 Chapter 3 — Is the decline real? 15:20 Chapter 4 — Inside the store 20:49 Chapter 5 — Everything outside the store ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Every number in this video is from a primary source. Where I'm speculating, I say so. What about where you live? Has the way you shop changed in the last five years? Tell me in the comments — I read all of them. #Japan #JapaneseCulture #ConvenienceStore
