A young Japanese woman was running through Tokyo station screaming “Save me! Save me!” There was a Japanese man chasing her and closing in. He grabbed her wrist and caught her about 10 feet in front of me. The woman was still yelling “Save me! Save Me!” but the Japanese people in the crowded station ignored her, not wanting to get involved. This is the beginning of just one of the stories from my experience living in Japan in the 1980’s, where I had moved right after graduating university. It was still rare to see an American who could speak Japanese fluently. This book guides the reader though my many adventures navigating through Japanese

No Pianos, Pets or Foreigners!: My Life in Japan in the 80's. by Joe Palermo Book Review

Name: Serena
Rating: 4.0 out of 5 stars
Title: Very Interesting and Amusing Short Book
Date: Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2020
Review: From 1999 to 2010 I was in Japan three times per year for about three weeks each time. My daughter lived in Tokyo for a full year during college and then worked for the JET Program for two years in the northwestern part of Tohoku. We traveled everywhere in the four main islands and they were wonderful years because I spent those trips with my daughter and enjoyed almost every moment of being in Japan.

I have read every book I can find about westerners living in Japan. There are lots of them. A few are terrible, most are okay, and a very few are exceptionally entertaining and/or excellent reads. No Pianos, Pets, or Foreigners is one of the better ones. I admire Jo Palermo's sensitivity toward the Japanese people, his hard work learning Japanese (my daughter did the same), his sense of humor and his "roll with the punches" attitude. He also makes it clear that not every area of Japan is the same--a fact that many authors of books on Japan seem to not realize.

As others have said the book is too short, but it was written many years after the author left Japan. It is a very fast and enjoyable read. I can't give it five stars because it just isn't the quality of the books written by Alan Booth (The Roads to Sata and Looking for the Lost) or The Road Through Miyama by Leila Philip, Then there is the very amusing, but not so expertly written book by Erin Neff Peters titled Memoirs of a Gaijin. I also enjoyed (after the first 90 pages) A Ride in the Neon Sun by Josie Dew who bicycled through southern Japan in the very early 1990's. Another book is devoted to her later trip through northern Japan, but I liked the earlier one better. I almost forgot At Home in Japan by Rebecca Otowa--a remarkable story.

Definitely, if you are interested in an entertaining book about Japan you should get this book, No Pianos, Pets or Foreigners.

Title: A short informative memoir of life in Japan in the 1980s
Date: Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2022
Review: In 1982, a young college graduate from Chicago named Joe Palermo moved to Japan to teach in what is now the JET program. That one year contract turned into eight years living in Japan, first in rural Gunma, and later in Tokyo as a salaryman.

No Pianos, Pets or Foreigners is Palermo’s memoir of those years in Japan, showing us Japanese life in the 1980’s through the eyes of an American.

Palermo’s journey in many ways mirrors my own, moving to Japan in the 1980s, starting as an English teacher and later finding a career as an engineer. When I learned of the book, I rushed out to buy a copy.

I already had a stack of books beside my bed that I needed to finish, so I put the book to the side. But curious to see what Palermo had written, I started thumbing through the pages. A couple hours later, I’d finished reading the entire book.

It’s a short book, a bit over 100 pages, so it doesn’t take long to read. Each anecdote is only a few pages and moves quickly.

The story starts with Palermo’s interest in Japanese culture in college followed by a homestay in Nara where he fell in love with Japan and met the woman who would later become his wife.

After graduation, he found a job as a Mombusho English Fellow, the predecessor of the JET program, and was assigned to teach English at schools around Numata City in Gunma Prefecture where he lived in a small pre-fab house.

At the time, there were few gaijin in the country, especially in rural areas like Gunma, giving Palermo an immersion into Japanese language and culture. As a foreigner, though, it was life in a fishbowl, made worse by teaching at schools all over the area so wherever he went, people would recognize him.

“I found that there were two ways that non-Japanese people dealt with living here. One was to surround themselves with Japanese people who speak English…The other approach was to become ‘more Japanese than the Japanese people.’…This is the path which I chose.”

Through the book, Palermo describes a number of interesting anecdotes that happened to me as well, including being stopped by the police without an alien registration card and having to write an apology letter, buying flowers for a date that were intended for leaving on graves, and trying to find an apartment.

After two years teaching English in Gunma, Palermo took a job as a salaryman in Tokyo and began looking for an apartment in Saitama. That’s where the title of the book, No Pianos, Pets, or Foreigners, comes from.

As a foreigner, few apartment owners were willing to rent to him. Even after he was married to a Japanese woman, he ran into difficulty finding an apartment that would allow foreign tenants. I expect the situation has improved dramatically in the 40 or so years since then as immigrants have become far more common throughout the country.

The last third of the book recalls Palermo’s life in Tokyo working for Shimaden and later A.C. Nielsen, accompanying directors on business trips as coordinator and translator before moving back to the US for an international role at Nielson.

Overall, this book is a great introduction to the practicalities of life in both rural Japan and Tokyo. Anyone joining the JET program or moving to Japan to work for a big company will find the book helpful. Everyone who’s already started the same journey will nod along to the stories, marking up the page with exclamation points and “same thing happened to me” notes on nearly every page.

Review: I gave this 5 stars because it is engaging and well written. It is a fascinating account of a Westerner's experience living in Japan. I would particularly recommend this to someone traveling to Japan and especially someone who wants to live in Japan. It is filled with fascinating anecdotes and insights. I am glad I discovered it.

Title: Just what I needed!
Date: Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2020
Review: I worked in Japan as an ex-pat from 2004 to 2010. One of the greatest experiences of my life. Japan is awesome. Go visit if you can.

That said, Japan in the 80's and 90's was quite a different place compared to when I was there. I was always curious about what it was like and I always wish I could have visited there during that time period.

Now I can live that life vicariously through Mr. Palermo, who discusses the experience vividly and entertainingly.

Japan is a very different place than the western world and it was highly different in the 80's. I highly recommend checking out this book to see for yourself.

Title: A delightful insight into Japanese culture
Date: Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2020
Review: Some things only come with experience. In this case, author Joe Palermo invites the reader to partake in the richness of his experiences in beautiful Japan, sharing stories of his time working, teaching, traveling and exploring, and giving insight into the intricacies of daily life there. The book is an absolute delight from start to finish, always interesting and always down to earth thanks to Mr. Palermo's very clear and very organic writing. I absolutely recommend this book to anyone seeking a non-romanticized, but still charming and beautiful look at Japan.

Title: Funny, informative, and too short!
Date: Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2020
Review: I really enjoyed this book. It's funny, entertaining, and educational. I learned a few things about Japanese culture that I wasn't aware of. The conversational writing style was a nice touch. It was like Joe was telling me his experiences in person while having a beer together.

Unfortunately, right when I was prepared for another story the book ended. Oh, well. Maybe he'll write another one from his wife's perspective on her experiences living in the US.
