I'm ready for December 2022 JLPT 😂 Did you take the JLPT too!?! Tell me how it went!!! Also, it's a miracle I was able to finish this video today because I kept getting distracted and looking at Twitter 🥲 If you don't know why, please look up the news here...regardless of his politics that kind of thing shouldn't have happened 🥺...but would like to keep this comment section good vibes!!!

Yes, that was utterly horrible. 😞 I just finished end of semester exams. I think I did well, so I'm happy to have a relaxing winter break.

This video give a great message! I'm ALWAYS super scared to fail, but most of the time is better just to give it a try. Even if you won't pass the test it doesn't mean you are "wrong", and it will helps you to pass it the next time for sure ! 🥰

I always love seeing your hauls Allison, it's so much fun to see what you get each week (and to be super jealous I'm not there too!). Good luck on the JLPT for December, I'm sure you'll knock it out of the park!

thank you!! 🥰☺️

I love hauls, shopping vlogs, day in life etc. Great video!

I love your videos! I studied in China and passed the highest level language exam there, so I can relate to that exam difficulty experience - but now I’m studying Japanese again (basically from beginner level) and hopefully in the next year I plan to visit Japan again! 😊

I love watching hauls. So please don’t worry 😉 It’s so much fun to see what you bought that week and it even gives me some inspiration for what I might want to buy or try once it’s possible again to travel to Japan. And my list is getting longer with every video 😁

Don’t feel down on failing your Japanese exam, Miss Allison, I am sure you can do your best next time. Also, it really is a paradise to shop around the anime stores, as they are fantastic. On the other hand, I saw the tragic news about Prime Minister Shinzo Abe when taking the subway this afternoon, it is shocking.

thank you! yes, the anime stores are amazing 🥰

Well as far as goals go. Currently working on learning Japanese but I've got a long way to go but I've started so that's good. Also needed to get into better shape to be able to travel internationally as things start to open up. So we'll see how that all goes

I love seeing your hauls. All your content is great 😄 good job on doing the jlpt exam and not giving up too 😊 I am working towards n5 after many years off Japanese study, I studied at University and got really burnt out but years have passed and I’m loving it again 🫶🏼

I love seeing your hauls! I hope to go to Japan someday so I really love watching your vlogs

That dog shirt is so cute ;-; the text on it is so sweet

おつかれ！for the JLPT, I kinda wanna challenge myself and take the N1 as well someday 🤣 It’s nice to see a fellow anime fan in Japan doing KZread 🥰🥰

wow what a good message! i love that you were so optimistic about putting yourself out there and trying. that's such a great and inspiring take-away 🥰 and that you had a game plan for how to do better the next time and yes i love hauls 🗣📣 i love seeing people treat themselves to things they want!! and i love seeing what food you get too, food is always good 😌💛OH and i started watching spy x family on your rec and it's probably the best anime i've seen in a while and i keep forgetting the season is over 💀

thank you for bringing us on your test! it's ok that you failed but you have such a positive attitude about this go around that i know you'll make it next time. and definitely the alley to treat yourself! you deserve it. also, love your hauls... it also gives us a better idea of what cost of living is over there (and where we can get stuff cute clothes) 😊so keep them coming!

We always love the haul stuff~

Thank you for making a video, Allison! I’ve been super busy studying for JLPT too in December. So this is a nice change of pace for me to take a break and watch a video 😁 I’m only taking JLPT 4, but it’s still exciting nonetheless. I start my Japanese Major in Spring, and will study abroad sometime next year too(if borders allow)! Also, I heard what happened in Japan, my condolences go out to Japan and everyone affected there! ❤️:( Best of luck to you on JLPT!

I love seeing what you buy🥰

The pouch is adorable! It's so creative to have an access for the wet wipes. I love the Anya towel(?)and the tote bag. 💜

I love how relatable your videos always are 😂 Truly that Pokémon center was dangerous🤣 Whenever I want to buy a lot of things I I cope by taking pictures of some them 😂 that method got me through a recent Disney trip and a visit to our new American dream mall lolll. I love your hauls too- my favorite from this one is the doggie shirt 🥰😍 so cute and a great message. And you’ll def do great on your next JLPT for sure 🙏🏾

Just came across your channel! Loving your friendly vibe

just want to say this is my first time watching one of your videos and I loved it, it was so cute and charming. you seem like a fun person! wish you all the best in your life (sorry I'm terrible with words)

love your videos, allison! you are so upbeat! they always put me in a good mood

Hi, I love seeing you shop and show us what you bought. It's always so interesting to see what you can get in Japan (I'm from Canada and we don't have anime stores really where I am :( ) But I'm currently working on learning japanese too (I'm still at the very beginning) since I want to move to Japan in 3 years after I'm done with getting my degree :)

Wishing you the very best in all your tests and exams. Lovely video thanks for sharing 👍 🥰

Good on you for still trying the N1! It can be very daunting taking tests when you don’t feel prepared, but who knows, you may surprise yourself! Best of luck with future studies! 🌟 My current goal is the N5 hehe! Also Celebi is my favourite legendary toooo! 🧡🧡

Lmao your reaction to the Snom was what everyone should do when they see a wild Snom. Pet gently yet very fast. I always feel like after I study my japanese my brain is soup. I feel like I can't speak anything for a bit afterwards haha! Sending good, less humid vibes your way. Here in MN I'm drowning in humidity.

just took the N1 a week and a half ago as well! the worse part was that here in Vancouver they didn't even host the exam this year so I had to fly all the way to Edmonton, and probably still failed LOL so we're in the same boat (that reading part was absolutely brutal smh)

first video I've seen of yours. Subbed.

You are the same age as my daughter, or maybe slightly older ,but I do enjoy watching your videos. (I'm a cool mum😂) my daughter is at university in our country ( England) to become a teacher. But I hope she doesn't go that far away. Your dress looks lovely on you x

I took the N2 and felt pretty awful about it, especially as its the main thing I need to be able to move there myself. Thankfully once I got home and reflected on some of the questions, especially some early 文字語彙 ones, I think I might have passed by a slim margin.

All of the stuff you bought was soo cute, but I just loved the dog pouch( it seems so handy) and the Anya handkerchief. You said it’s used to wash hands, do bathrooms in Japan not have paper towels? Or is it preferred that you use your own? Shout out for sitting down and actually taking the test! I passed N4 last year, took a break and am now debating if I will have studied enough for N3 this December. I suspect my 6 month break was too long. Do you remember how long you studied before taking N3? I look forward to your next video

Yes I love watching you explore Japan and haul videos. I also like seeing the interesting cute gatcha sorry if that is not how to spell that.

Hope the JLPT went better than expected! I studied in Tokyo in 2018-2019 and miss Sunshine city and Otome road so much. But I'm coming to Japan this August on the JET Programme. Headed to rural Yamaguchi so will be making the most of the three days in Tokyo. I need Touken Ranbu goods. Kurasushi and some Soup Stock XD I'll be applying to sit the N2 in Japan this December. Totally not ready but gotta use that deskwarming time wisely.

@@AllisoninTokyo go for it! the one i'm reading is aimed at middle schoolers, i think, so it has a lot of furigana and the grammar is simple enough for a begginer like me (though it's still hard lol) But i'm sure you can go for one for an older audience, good luck!!

oh my goodness I need that anya hand towel!!! 🥰 i moved to japan just after the deadline for applying for last week's JLPT so i missed it, but i can't decide if i'm going to do N5 or N4 in december... I feel like I could pass N5 okay right now so I wouldn't have to study that much for it, but N4 would be a better goal?? but also a few people have said it's best to take N5 first even if you feel a higher level so you know the set up of the test and everything... so I can't decide what to do 😅

I’m moving to Japan in like 3 months and I havent studied for months lol 😆

Such a fun vlog! I mean, of course sucks to fail the JLPT but you saw it coming so I guess it's alright. We can only take the test on december in my country which isn't the best but it's okay, I'll try the N5 this year. The idol group (06:19) is ReLIT, they just released their first album 'BLUE'.

@@AllisoninTokyo thank you, I’m curious and never going to give up, hahah. In Tokyo are ones and in Osaka too. When I lived in Osaka, my friends actually gifted me some good whole grain bread and it made me happier than I’m kinda willing to admit 😂 it’s a common stereotype that Germans complain about bread and cheese when they’re outside Germany (one might think we’d complain about beer, but never saw a German doing that haha). Don’t understand me wrong, I love Japanese food and also the pastries they have in usual bakerys, but there where times where I’d really need some bread which is not sweet and soft

I did N3. My first JLPT exam. I wasn't prepared for the listening... at all! I need to improve my listening somehow. The reading....無理.(笑)

アリソン! 🌸 I have some questions and comments about this video! 1) when you visit these Pokémon centres in Japan, do they all have the exact same prices for their products or do some stores vary? 2) do native, born and raised Japanese people electively take the JLPT test? If so, why? What is it helping them to achieve? 3) don’t ever stop sharing the things you buy because sad 🥺 4) I’m sure take 2 of the test will go swimmingly. It’s ok to fail every now and again. Especially if it doesn’t directly effect you in a severely negative way. We’re all rooting for you now! 5) you’re from Florida right? If you find it hot in Japan then as a Canadian I don’t think I will ever be able to visit for fear of dying from heat exhaustion. バイバイ! ✌🏻

I'm aiming towards N3 in december (i passed N4 last december), I told myself I'd be studying lots in summer, but I'm going quite slow tbh 😅 each vlog you upload, the more eager I am to visit Japan and to move there to study my masters, but to move there first I have to finish my degree (3 years left) and to visit... well... you know 🥲
