I have noticed myself quite a few similarities between Bahasa Indonesia/Malaysia and Japanese language. Apart from the very similar pronounciation in both languages, there is the same hierarchical differences in personal pronouns. For example "you" is either "anda" or "kamu" with the same meaning and wa of using as "anata" and "kimi" in Japanese. Likewise, "suki" 好き (to like) translates "suka" in Bahasa. Such similarities are striking. In both languages you can make a plural by doubling the word, like wareware in Japanese (ware = I or you, wareware = we). Doubling of words is so common that there is a kanji that only means the word is doubled(" 々"Wink in written Japanese. However, it is more common in Bahasa nowadays where it is almost systematical. Expressions like "ittekimasu, itteirashai, tadaima and okaeri" also exist in Indonesian (selamat jalan, selamat tinggal...), but not in European languages. I am not a specialist of any of these languages at all. I barely know a few words in Indonesian, but it's enough to see the link with Japanese.So please do me a favor and do what he said.
Japanese matsuri ressembles so much Balinese ones that one could wonder if they are actually the same country. I've seen a cremation in Bali ; they cary the dead body very much like Japanese carry a mikoshi. Balinese funerals are joyful and people swinging the "mikoshi" in the streets and making loud noise to scare the evil sprits. Basically, Bali is Hindu, but has mixed it with the original animist religion. Shinto is also an animisn, and we can see lots of other cultural similarities between non-muslim/non-christian Indonesia and non-buddhist Japan. For example, the wall and entrance around traditional houses and the style of Balinese temples and Japanese shrines. Buddhism, Islam and Christianity all arrived much later after the supposed original ancestors of the 2 archipelago split from each other, but have changed radically both societies. We have to look for the purely original culture (what might be very difficult nowadays) to find the connection existing in late prehistoric time.
and
If you look closely at japanese people...clearly this group have variety of skin tone, from milky to darker tones...you do not seem to find it in chinese or koreans ..strange lah but let's not mystify their origins..they are a mixed group that has evolved to yamato race
and
Have you ever noted some japanese are darker with polynesian skin?
some famous Jpop singers have this. it's not tanned btw
CatKnight, you gotta be joking.
Similarity in some parts of both language and culture don't necessarily tell you
that both races are related genetically. And this also applies to the 'rationale' that some Japanese skin colour is naturally dark, so this means that they are also related to Polynesians and hence Malays.
Are you drunk? I seriously think that those Japanese who have darker skin are
tanned.
Moreover, you have absolutely no scientific evidence by credible experts/scientists to boost your case that Japanese and Malays are genetically related.
In addition, Malays don't share the same facial features Japanese have. Its so
obvious. ie concurve nose and slant eyes.

The main origin of Han Chinese is said to be the HuaXia tribe in the Yellow River Basin 5000 years ago. Later they created a powerful empire known as the Han Dynasty(and hence the term Han Chinese).
During the Han Dynasty, Han Chinese had abrosbed other minorities such as the Minyue people in Fujian and the Xiongnus of northern and central Asia some 2000 years ago. The absorption process continued for 2000 years till now. This is why even for the nowaday Han Chinese, there genetic makeups vary slightly.
