ahhh i’m so glad to hear that!!!! 😍 congratulations!!! sophia was on my list too 🤲 i’m sure you’ll have a great time 🙏

Ahh, the glorious days of student life when you could get up at 11AM 🙂 Thanks for the video! I love videos like this. So relaxing to watch. If any gamers are watching this, Persona 3's fictional city of Iwatodai is based on Odaiba. 4:55 should look familiar, as it's the basis for the Paulownia Mall 🙂

Hello! (long text lol) I just wanted to say I found your blogs right before submitting papers for a Japan scholarship. It was something I wanted to do since like... 6 years ago, but suddenly got surgery the week before the due date and that messed me up... I lost all the confidence I had and made me really afraid of being alone, and didn't want to submit the documents. But then I saw your blogs about studying for your Master and these cozy days... it made me realize that yeah, Japan was the place I wanted to be, and submitted the documents anyways hahaha... thank you! Keep the good work! :)

14:45 - maybe a bit random, but here is a comment on the AC thing for someone who lives in eternal hotness. I live in Southeast Asia where it is summer almost every day (31 - 34 degrees celsius) and sometimes humid with rain. From what I see, older people usually just use fans. Some open the AC only at night or open it for 30 minutes then close it for hours - reopening when it gets hot again. The AC can go running up to 5-6 hours total for scorching hot days though (for middle-class people, it makes electricity bills soar HIGH). I wonder how it is in Japan - it might not be fit for the summer weather there 😆 Also great video and adorable outfits again!! Keep up the great editing! (and yes, white-haired-anime-men supremacy 😔✊)

Wow good job surviving eternal hotness 😭 I think I could survive a few more degrees if my apartment was better ventilated, but hot air tends to just sit in here 😫 I already gave up and now my ac is on all day 😂 But I imagine the bill is a bit cheaper here since it’s pretty common among younger people in Japan! And thank youu 🥺🙏 my white hair anime men mentally support me

Hey Allison :) I'm a new subscriber. I recently just discovered your channel because of your Nihongo study videos. I've been studying Japanese on and off for an embarrassingly long time as well. I agree with your advice on that video, and gained a lot of useful info too. I'm definitely going to use Wanikani... I continued watching on your videos and found myself binge watching your vlogs this past week. It was a stressful week because there were a lot of activities in Japanese class, and I had to deliver a speech in Japanese too. But watching your videos made me feel relaxed and happy, it's like I've known you for a long time. It might be because I see my future self in you. I'm studying Japanese because I'll be working in Japan, hopefully I'll be moving before the year ends. Being single, I also look forward to being independent and doing my own thing in Japan during my free time. I get a sneak peek of that because of your videos. I love your energy and personality! Glad to have found your channel :) Hope someday you can talk about confidence (or lack thereof) in speaking Japanese, or how to cope with comparing my Japanese level with other people, and battling perfectionism too.

Woww Japanese speeches are the worst for me too 😆 Good job!! And thanks so much for watching, I'm glad you enjoy it 🥺 Being independent in Japan is great to me 💕 You'll definitely be able to experience it too one day! And thank you for the ideas, it's definitely something I struggled with a lot before, I'll have to talk about it 😳

This video was so nice aaaahhh

That library cafe looked so cool. Also did you know that hydrangea flowers change their colors based on the pH level of the soil? That is why they can change color over the years. Good luck on your papers!

I have no plans to visit Japan. I dont speak a word of Japanese. You made me crack up so much. The sarcasm is real. Haha. And 27c is 80f. Yeah f that...anything above 75f and the ac goes on. This delicate lily flower over here will wilt and its not pretty hahaha

Lovely video

I can really relate to your Japanese struggles. I’m living in Japan too. I have N2 but because I work at an eikaiwa, I rarely use Japanese. My skills have also nose-dived. Buuuut I’m taking the N1 test next month lol.

Hi 👋 I’m curious to know where you got the clock that can read the temp as well from?

Hey Allison how much time did you spend learning japanese and how good are you at it (conversation/reading/etc)?

Can you please do a video in how you learned kanji? PLEASEEE😭 I’m having trouble trying to learn kanji😰 I hate it here:/

❤

Alison you mentioned doing interviews, are these professors or people in industry that you interview for course credits? Since you are studying in English would these people also be proficient in English or do you have to speak Japanese?

I went here on the weekend and there were too many people taking pictures on those stairs! 😭
