I tried Natto... Wasn't for me... I much prefer Ramen... 😁
It’s definitely an acquired taste! Used to hate it when I was younger:)
Always enjoy your vlog
Thank you so nice to hear :)
@@oliviaimamura 💝

I'd like to know how many accessories go with that dress 😅
You’ll see in the next vlog :)
miihin koira jäi?
Isän koira - jäi isän luo!
not usually into vlogs, but the vibe on this one was too good to not stick around for. lovely work
Hey! Thanks for leaving a comment that’s super nice to hear :) hopefully see you around 👋
Wait, until you see Kuusamo at MidSummer. Yötön yö☀️sun never sleeps.
Voin vaan kuvitella, ehk jonain päivänä pääsen senkin kokemaan :) 🤞
Great video ❤😊
Thanks :)
Great video, and I want to ask when someone whose mother language for example is english travels to a country or a city whose people , for example, speak Russian, how can this English-speaking person who does not know anything about Russian buy food and stay in a hotel room and deal with the people who does not speak english
Typically especially at places where there are tourists, such as hotels or larger cities, there are always people who speak English. If not, use Google translate.
Good morning, since you have traveled previously, how much money the traveler should take to another country with him to be able to meet his needs of food, drink, housing, clothes, etc., and to be able to return to his country.
Since you are tried the remote work , what are the advantages and disadvantages of remote work ?
Air frying is such a game changer, right? Works great on sliced veggies like zucchini/squash, but you should also try broccoli and cauliflower. I also pre-dry brine chicken breasts to cook right before eating my salad, and we do skin-on chicken thighs with some light seasoning and the flavor and crispiness is unbelievable.
Totally! Yeah love doing all kinds of veggies! I’ve heard that it’s amazing for chicken!
Have you tried soaking a tenugui in cold water (or even water straight from the tap), wringing it out, and then draping it over your neck? I find that that's a really effective way to feel cool and it dramatically reduces the effects of the hot sun. When delivering chocolates to my friends, I used a cooler bag to keep the chocolates from melting, and left the tenugui in the bag to absorb the condensation. Afterward -- super cold towel! But that's obviously over the top and I only had done it that way since I had to keep the chocolates cold. :)
Oh wow what a pro tip! Never even thought about using it this way, should try :) thanks!
Nice video 😊 Thanks for sharing !
Thanks for leaving a comment:)
Love the content Olivia! I'm eager to see the next update! Really excited to see you wearing a yukata! I'd recite a spell, but.. I feel that you really are your own spell. Olet oma loitsusi. I hope you continue to do these vids, they are filled with energy <3. お大事にして ください.
Thank you so much! And quite rare to get my 3 languages in one message haha :) Thanks for the nice comment, hope you're having a great week!
I was at the Shibuya Blue Bottle back in March and never even realized that there was an upstairs. Such a tranquil space. Great vlog!!
Yeah I guess the stairs are kind of hidden in the corner! Next time try the upstairs, much calmer :)
I'm a Tokyo resident. Your video was easy to watch and fun. Most of all, it looks delicious ❤ As a Japanese person, I was very happy. Thank you very much 👍 Have a wonderful day 🙋♂
コメントありがとうございます❤️ So nice to hear you enjoyed the video :) Hope you're having a lovely day as well!
@@oliviaimamura 🙋♂🙋♀💕🙆♂🙆♀
Hey lovely! Nice bouncy curls, you look fab :) How much would you say you spend at a café vs a coworking space? I get distracted by people around me easily, so I mostly work from home (also, not a big snacker.) But I want to try and work from a public place a couple of days a week at least when I'll be in Tokyo later this year, it would be a shame to just inside all day obviously.
Hey you 🫶 Thank you love! Depending on whether you choose to just have a drink or a snack to go with it, I'd say 600-1500 yen would be typical. I find it to be a nice way to experience new spaces and areas. Although working from home or familiar places tends to be more efficient and hassle-free. But would definitely encourage you to try especially when travelling!
Have a great day for you ❤
Hope you have a great day as well!
Nice 🎉😊 which software you use to edit your videos before publish it to youtube ?
Final Cut Pro!
Thanks for sharing !
Thank you!
You can make money from youtube through google adaense as an extra income
Nice video 😊❤🎉
Thanks :)
hate loud cafes!
Yes 🙉
You are so kind girl 😊❤
Likewise :)
Nice video 🎉 since you are travelled before , what is the best country you advise someone to travel to ?
Really depends on what you want to do! Enjoy good wine and cheese in Paris? Party in Berlin? Eat spicy Korean food in Seoul? Different places are great for different reasons so it’s impossible to answer imo.
Nice 😊 what is the best advice you can give to a person in 20s ?
Get to really know yourself. Be still and spend some time alone, figure out what it is that you truly want from life and go for it. Life lived pleasing others or fulfilling their expectations will not make you happy.
Nice video 😊 Are you need web dev to work with you remotely ?
Thanks! Unfortunately no. Hope you find what you're looking for!
Great video ❤🎉😊
Thanks :)
Nice video 😊❤🎉
Thanks :)
Have you travelled before to another country ?
Yes, I've travelled a lot especially around Europe since I grew up in Finland!
Thanks for sharing ❤
Thanks for commenting ❤️ Have a great day!
you should do a series (mix in here and there) doing/learning traditional Japanese things, like the tea ceremony, visiting shrines, onsens. I think your tattoos may limit the bathes.
Yeah actually I'd love to try learning tea ceremony! Thanks for the suggestion :) I'm sure there will be more bits and pieces of connecting to my Japanese roots!
What products (if any) do you use for your hair?! I love how your natural curls were popping in this vlog! Def going to visit Trunk Lounge when I'm back in Tokyo this October:) Alllssssoooooo...if you did a vlog dedicated to pancakes I'm sure we would not be opposed~😍
Thanks for loving my frizzy curl mess ❤️ After washing my hair I scrunch in some Cocunat curl spary. I bought it while I was in Finland but they don't seem to deliver to Jpn so will have to figure out something else once I run out! Hahah a request I'd love doing but perhaps not the best for trying to stay fit 😄 Let's see, maybe I could film it over a longer period and then just compile the clips 😌
@@oliviaimamura ooooo I am definitely looking up that spray! And yeahhh you do have a point😅 I feel like all that carb consumption from eating so much pancakes in one go would make me so bloated haha!
@@sc_733 haha exactly!
I love bubble baths too. Always enjoy your content. Hope your music is productive. Be well
Bubble baths are so relaxing! Thanks for leaving a comment and wishing me well 🫰hope you’re well too ☺️
Is you single?
That would be correct
Hey, I am Finn. Glad you paid a visit.
Hey fellow Finn, oli kiva päästä käymään vaihteeks kotosuomessa :)
Which cafe is your favourite? :) Also - someone please help a confused ハーフgirl with her yukata/kimono knowledge! 🙏
Great vid ❤❤ Can't help you with yukata knowledge sorry, but think the blue bottle cafe did it for me. I'll have to get my kids to pop in when they're there in November. Looking forward to their trip so much.
@@michaeltaylor9227 Hahah fair enough! Hope your upcoming trip will be full of amazing new experiences and memories! :)
@@oliviaimamura wish it was me heading over 😋. Unfortunately for me it's not, but my 18yr and 20yr old kids are going to have a ball. They're over there for almost a month
I personally have no help yukatas BUT.... I do know a a popular rental place in Tokyo "YAE Kimono Rental Asakusa Tokyo" Yae (the owner) she may be of help! you can look up the shop on KZread as well. She does not have a channel but other have posted her shop
@@michaeltaylor9227 Oh I'm sure it'll be such an unforgettable experience for them! :)
I always go to Little Nap too whenever I'm in Tokyo!
Little nap is so nice! :)
@@oliviaimamura It is! And Coffee is really really good!
@@erikaswan Totally agree! The bakes are amazing as well and on Sundays all the doggos are a definite plus!
@@oliviaimamura I definitely have to try and go on a Sunday then next time I’m there!
Glad to see you with more pep in your step! Your new tattoo’s color is lovely, the artist did an awesome job with line work too😍 Def keep the scar covered when going out and use sunscreen when at home during the day!
Thank you 🫶🫶 Loving my new tat! Yess been good about covering my scar so far :)
All respect to you 😊
Thanks :)
Thanks for all your kind responses to my comments , l want to say that l am full stack dev with certificates but l have no experience in work but l can do many projects , l search for a job or remote job as full stack dev with salary between 500-700$ but l searched for long time but l did not find one , can you help me in that or do you know anyone who need web dev to work with him remotely , l do not want so much , just 500$ per month
Thanks for the vulnerability. Unfortunately I can’t really help you out. To me it sounds like you need to build your portfolio - even if you can’t get paid work, do personal projects that show your skills, passion and what you can build. If you have something good to show it’ll be a lot easier to land a job.
Love the tattoo (love all the tattoos actually)! ❤
Thanks 🫶 and thanks for leaving a comment :)
l have a question : can a full stack web dev work with a person in digital marketing together and make money ? Is that possible ?
Yes totally. I used to work in a tech consultancy so most of the consultants were software engineers but they also had digital marketing consultants. For example when it comes to websites that need to convert or e-commerce it makes sense to work in teams that have both.
Nice video ❤ Thanks for sharing 😊
Thanks for leaving all the comments 🫶
Nice 😊 what do you work
My main source of income is freelance digital marketing consulting!
Tokoyo in japan , right ? Anyway , it is a nice video ❤
Thanks :) yes, living in Tokyo Japan!
You look radiant! Glad you’re feeling better.
Thanks :) feeling great! Hope you’re having a great day! 🫰
