Day in the Life of a Japanese Wagyu High School Student
A day in the life of a Japanese High School Student in Kagoshima. This is the Japanese High school Student’s morning routine, day at school, after school activities and night routine. This is his life in Japan in the countryside. He attends Soo High School, a Japanese public school nestled in Kagoshima’s tranquil and open countryside. In addition to standardized courses this Japanese high school offers five specialized academic programs. Soma, now a senior, has been enrolled in their concentrated Livestock Food Agriculture program, specializing in raising Japanese cattle, wagyu. Though relatively small in Japan, with around 360 students and 60 dedicated teachers, this school is a vibrant, laughter-filled community where friendships and dreams grow hand in hand. In Japan, students are assigned to groups with each group having their own homeroom where they spend most of their days. Teachers will visit this homeroom class to teach their specific subject, except for some elective classes like PE or farming which require different facilities. Naturally, students in the same homeroom class form closer bonds as they end up spending much of their day as well as year together.
The term “Wagyu” refers to four specific breeds of Japanese cattle, with black-haired Wagyu making up 95% of them. And Kagoshima alone produces 20% of the nation’s black-haired Wagyu, celebrated for its unique tenderness, balanced marbling, and unmistakably rich flavor.
In fact, Kagoshima farmers have perfected their techniques to a point where they can produce the highest-quality A5 Wagyu beef, 50% of the time.

One of the best day in the life so far! Beautiful and hopeful ending.
@12:00 poor Wagyu cow is so fat from the fattening as narrated in the video, she can barely stand on the scale, which is why she appears to be fighting the rope pull of the students. So sad, it seems to be the equivalent of ducks force fed for foie gras fatty liver of the animal in other countries. This seems to be a prefecture where significant income comes from this cattle farming. Supply and demand I guess, good insights in the clip.
tbh im no fan of the nose ring the cows has i feel is not right but still is a cool school tho
normal kids with normal dreams
this is like anime hs but real life
If you're able to i think it would be cool to see a day in the life of a Japanese electrical line worker or lineman as its called in the USA.
Very nice at the end to see they eat dinner together 😍
You can tell he has never used social media and most likely never even used a smartphone by how content he looks. As a 29 yo who's still suffering from diseases such as "absent father" and "unlimited internet access at the age of 14"… I kinda envy him tbh
Wow thanks Paolo such a great Video. Thiamosnamazing and such a good example to follow for My teenagers aI already reaend the video to them!!😅
What a great episode, I was watching a episode of 5 years ago, don't you age at all?? Wow !! Was the cute baby cow actually named after you at the end?? I LOVE the series 💖
I love this is so comforting to watch! Definitely got to learn more about wagyu and cows in this video. Goodluck to Soma in the future with his family business+
Soma is so cute <3
These are so refreshing! I know it’s a process to film these but I greatly appreciate your work!
"IG bafeore breathing" 😂 kids are just kids the world over
The kid is going places, Paolo!!!! The US can learn a thing or two from Japan about discipline and teaching children and adolescents.
Instead of woke ideologies and confusing kids… we need to take pages from the Japanese Education System
Wow these Japanese Students are so Organized with there Daily School Days and not be on there Phone much as Americans do. We need something like that for The US since Societies are ruined for Decades!
– Art ✊
this is really like silver spoon come to life! i love seeing this type of lifestyle, its so refreshing, especially as someone who lives in such a busy place.
Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
love these videos. thank you Soma and Paolo.
Homie got those Ana Taylor Joy eyes.
That's not a motorcycle, that's a scooter. And 16 yo are able to get scooter license but you need to be 18 to get your motorcycle license….
Watching this video made me feel like I am watching live version of the anime "Silver Spoon"
4:12 I thought Paolo was being “this is so High School 💅🏻” for a sec😆
❤
The video was great and reminded me of one of my favorite animes: Silver Spoon.🐮🐷
we gotta get an update in the daily life in 6 years
Pity that the rule of second shoes at school is changed. It was a good idea. More schools should adopt this rule.
They would LOVE 4H in the states! And here in the country we get wielding classes & mechanic to
Have you done one on train conductors
Another fab video. What an awesome look into the boy's life and how Japanese schools work.
This video is truly amazing. Like someone said, I can’t imagine the hard work it took to get permission to film here. This video truly made me feel like I was a young student at this school! Super proud of this video!
High school student waking up at 5:30am is cap
At 7:34 that's a milling machine. Lots of nice looking lathes in that shop. Impressive.
Brazilian dream after school funk,football or digital influencer.
Why were all the female students wearing masks, while the males weren't?
