1. Complexity of Relationship Building in a Multicultural Society
Japanese society is rapidly transitioning into a multicultural coexistence society, with the number of foreign residents reaching a record high of 4.12 million [1]. This shift significantly impacts individual lifestyles and family formation. While interest in international romance and marriage hunting is rising, building relationships with people from different cultural backgrounds presents new challenges. Barriers unique to intercultural communication, such as language hurdles, differing customs, and conflicting values, can hinder relationship depth or cause unexpected misunderstandings.
Specifically, communication during the early stages of romance or when a relationship falters varies greatly by cultural background. Some cultures prefer direct expression, while others value indirectness. These differences can be a factor that easily leads to one-sided 'fading out' actions when a relationship ends. Communication styles that were implicitly understood among Japanese individuals often fail in intercultural settings, frequently leading to unnecessary friction and misunderstanding.
This issue is a critical social challenge that cannot be overlooked, not only for individual happiness but also for deepening mutual understanding in a multicultural society. Smooth communication is the foundation of healthy human relationships, and it is equally required in international contexts. Platforms for building personal relationships, such as dating and marriage hunting, can serve as vital points of contact for deepening intercultural understanding and building a richer society.
2. Survey Results: Actual Communication After Dates and the Psychology of 'Fading Out'
A survey conducted by Yoitoki targeting single men and women (April 2026, N=500) revealed the raw realities of relationship termination processes after pre-dating stages in modern romance. Notably, there is a strong tendency to avoid direct dialogue, suggesting similar challenges in intercultural communication.

According to the survey, a total of 71.2% chose 'fade-out' or 'unread/read-through (ghosting),' avoiding direct conflict. While this stems from a consideration not to burden the other person directly, it also reveals the reality that the 'difficulty of saying no' leads people to choose indirect, non-face-to-face communication. In intercultural settings, this 'difficulty of saying no' can also arise from cultural considerations, presenting a more complex picture. These results highlight the need for smooth communication from the early stages of an encounter and respectful responses even at the end of a relationship in modern romance.

1. Real-Time Automatic Translation: 'Immediacy' that defies time zones and distance

User Benefits: Since 'feelings in the moment' can be conveyed without delay, heat levels do not cool down even in cross-border exchanges, allowing intimacy to increase rapidly.
