living in japan alone 🇯🇵 | anime shopping in ikebukuro, winning the lottery
TODAY THE SYLVANIAN FAMILIES GOD HAS BLESSED ME!!!!!! JOIN ME ON THIS JOYOUS OCCASSION!!!
I really rocked up to Sunshine City expecting to be devastated, but sometimes miracles do happen🤧 We are officially in summer here now...it's hot and I don't want to do anything!! So going to indoor malls like Sunshine City really is great (except for the crowds)
What do you think of today's haul? Let me know down below :)

SO HAPPY WITH MY SYLVANIAN HAUL TODAY!!!! Okay sorry guys, long story short I got a cold that turned into a kind of bad ear infection and I still can't hear (about 50%) and my head is a bit whack still lol 🥲 Unforutnately I have no idea when I'll be able to hear correctly again...luckily I mostly had this vlog edited already but if there's any weird sound stuff don't @ me lol But yeah I unfortunately won't really be able to edit or film until it's fixed again...since I...can't hear or think well and am always exhausted now 😪

I admire how you adjusted in living in another country alone. Specially with the language difference. Japan is amazing.
The waves of different interests you were talking about was super relatable! I'm going to book wave at the moment, I really want to get back into Nintendo stuff as well!😁 Looking forward to your vlog about Europe. I'm from the Netherlands myself :).

Thanks!! Hopefully the next one 🥸
The light blue blouse you are wearing in the video is gorgeous on you. Color, model, everything. And the white dress with little flowers you bought suits you very well too.
I love how much more stationary diversity there's in Japan.
Allison, your vlogs are always a pleasure to watch! My perfect escapism. I love that unlike other j-vloggers, you live the life of a normal person integrated into Japanese society, working a regular job. You show us a realistic perspective on life in Japan, and to me, that's so much more exciting than, say, Q&As about life in Japan answered by people whose only job is KZread in English. Don't get me wrong, I like and watch those other channels too, but nothing beats your vlogs. As for kujis, I am absolutely mad about Black Butler and there's an ONLINE kuji for it going on right now. I HATE that because if it was a physical one, I'd send one of my friends in Japan to the next best konbini to act as my personal shopping service and buy all the tickets and give them the money for it, but with an online kuji, I don't even know if I might make them buy tickets from a bottomless pit and end up with 350 F tier prizes.
I absolutely loved Sunshine City for shopping! Ikebukoro as a whole was a nice area to walk around
Congrats on winning the lottery. I love the blue top you brought. I can't wait to visit Japan later this year. Ikebukuro was one of the places I was planning to go to.
In North America, our version of Sylvanian Families is Calico Critters. They look pretty much the same, so not sure if it’s the same manufacturer just a different name here.

It is. I came here to say this after I double checked. I recognized them immediately. Michael’s Stores still carry them.
Best shopping vlog content, Allison!! We've loved Sylvanian Family kawaii cute since our childhood days!!! Very pretty floral print dress and you look adorable in the blue ruffle top!! New PJs yay!!
welcome back!! I loved this vlog so much, amazing that you won the lottery!!
I have never heard of Sylvanian Families before and now I’m obsessed - thank you Allison! 😭 But honestly this was a super cute vlog, as always. 💖💖💖
I love the clothes you purchased!
I'm early! Hi Allison!!🥰🥰
love your vlogs! I cant wait to go to japan
I always love watching your vlogs! Can't wait to see what you got up to in Europe. The dress from uniqlo is so cute. Ugh all the sylvaninan family stuff is like catnip to me. Just way to adorable.
You look adorable today! The dress with flowers was my favorite thing you bought. Enjoyed the video.
I hope you feel better soon! I'm going through a tough time but your videos really calm me down ;_;
That dress really suits you!!! I was like ooh I hope she gets it it’s so pretty 🤩 and congrats on winning the lottery!! 🥳🥳🥳

Omedetou! What a haul. The key chains and the house! Keep seeing the Sylvanian family figures in vlogs, even cooking or travel. Thank you for jogging my memory about them. They are so cute! Maybe add another floating shelf?
Love your blue and white top you have on. I hope you feel better soon ❤️
While visiting, I really appreciated how Ikebukuro has it's own very unique identity, but feels more relaxed than Shibuya, affordable and almost retro vibes in some areas. It isn't as crazy there, plus FYI Tonchin ramen has the best miso I have ever had. I just wish my hotel (Hotel Metropolitan) didn't smell so old and smoky inside my room, it bothered me so much I had to go back to my prior Ginza hotel. But got to explore Ikebukuro for 3 days while waiting for the new hotel room to open up. I could see Ikebukuro becoming more popular each yeah, it just doesn't have the fancy new skyscrapers of Shibuya but damn, there is a lot packed in there! The Muscle Girls bar is over there too, but I couldn't go or get a reservation.
I love your videos, I have wanted to visit Japan since I was 8 or 9 and I like seeing your life there. Plus the dress was SUPER Adorable on you!!!!
Omggg I completely feel you, when you go to a place to see IF by any chance the limited merch is still available with 0 hope but you end up being succesful, this feeling is so good ahaha and omg winning the lottery on top, this was your day girl ! I hope you liked France :)
Love the blouses, it's fun to try new styles. And both the jumper and dress are just my style love them. Those bunnies are just so cute. If I were going to collect something it would be them.

Last time I went to sunshine city it was for the Aquarium. I didn't even know they had a bunch of anime shopping there. guess I'll have to go sometime soon.
Colds seem to be affecting us with full force cause the last time I had one it didn't go away completely and gave me a sinus infection. Couldn't hear well or taste for about a week and only got better after the antibiotics were almost done 🥲Feel you on that one. Get well soon Allison! Looking forward to your Europe vlogs (:
Loved the clothes you got.👍🥰
That Zelda T-shirt looks great you should definitely wear it ours if the house 😊
ohhh calico critters!
Love checking out your vlogs. I hope to visit Japan one day. I am wondering what the countryside is like. We've been looking into akiyas in Japan.
Great luck with the lottery! I’m sure you will find room for your new house because every family needs a proper home 😎

hey Allison! i recently moved to tokyo - where is your favourite shopping centre with all of your favourite stores for fashion? my local ones in chiba are the worst
I’m planning a trip to Japan next Jan/Feb, are there any places you recommend or things I should look out for? I heard that people crank the heat in buildings and to wear lighter clothes because of it. I hope you feel better soon!!
I hope you feel better soon
I was planning on going to Seria, but I’ll definitely look for the stuff that you mentioned. Especially those keychain covers. I really want to try a lottery as well, but I’m simultaneously terrified of winning a big prize and then having to attempt take it back home with me 😅

The bandai store in sunshine city has been there at least since April!
That outfit is so cute! Where that kind all the time.
In the US, those are called Calico Critters!❤
BLEACH 😍😍😍 I recommend you watch the anime (not filler arcs lol)
Go back and buy all of those clothes you left behind they really look very good on you. ❤
Thank you for sharing your adventures with us ^^ I have been several times to Japan and hope to be back for a vacation in 2025 (I have been last time in december 2019...). Very lucky with the lottery, well done 🍀 Last time I bought a Sylvanian house at the outlet in Odaiba and had to haul it back to the hotel near Akihabara so I really understand the pain of having such a big item to carry on the metro 😅

Adorable
Hey there! I’m hoping to get some insights as to how Japan will be during September. I understand it’s hot and humid but I’ve booked my ticket and am committing. How can I best prepare for this time (considering this is also peak typhoon season)!
I LIKE SHOPPING WITH YOU (:
I would want to try a Detective Conan lottery.
When you went to Europe, did you visit my ancestors country which is Spain.

Im currently in Japan (first time and by myself) and I just did a dragon ball ichibankuji and I had a mission - the A prize. I pulled five tickets each place I went (let's keep how many times a secret) but at the last place I GOT THE A PRIZE :D which was very lucky cause there was only one left. I clapped and kinda squealed but with a true Japanese like spirit. Just an FYI I'm from Denmark.
I have a question when is it the best time to move? Because most of the videos is truly just should you visit but I would like to know if it’s good to move?

for moving, just not between late feb-april if you can! that’s peak moving season here so places get snapped up quickly and can be more expensive

I think what you mean to say about Zelda merch and other "boy" oriented anime is that the illustrations of women are super "booby!" And also, the women's skirts are super short and are always on the verge of flying up and showing their underwear. That's why I don't enjoy so much of anime/manga. The drawings of women are kinda gross, and it skeeves me out. I get/understand that they are created as fantasy vehicles for guys, but I wish there was more where the women are not depicted in an oversexualized way.
