It was once believed that the violence of a sneeze, momentarily displaced your soul from your body.
During that moment, people thought the devil could step in, and take you over. By saying "bless you" someone else could keep the devil from inhabiting you.
The term "bless you" actually comes from an ancient superstition that a person who sneezes might actually sneeze their soul out of their body.
There actually is no term that is said in Japan after one sneezes. The closest you can come to it is to say, "Daijyoobu?" which means, "Are you okay?" Normally, though, sneezes occur without any subsequent comments.
BLESS YOU! (english), SANATATE! (Romanian) ...

Bless you or Excuse you
In Tagalog, the phrase "God bless you" when someone sneezes is "Pagpalain ka ng Diyos."
When someone sneezes the common response is "bless you".
"Bless you" is a common expression used after someone sneezes. It originated from the belief that a sneeze can cause the soul to momentarily leave the body, so the phrase was used to ward off evil spirits and protect the person sneezing. It is now more of a polite and customary response after someone sneezes.
Whatever you want your followers to do, you should do as well. For example, if you want all your followers to say "bless you" after a coworker sneezes, you should always say "bless you" after one of your coworkers sneezes.
It depends on the person who sneezes! Some sneezes are truly nasty, and some are awfully cute! It all come down to the person who's sneezing, how much spit comes out of their mouth, and what type of sneeze it is!! Sneezes are very unique!
