福袋・不幸袋買いました Japanese "Lucky"/"Unlucky" Bags!

[@Ciaela]

They are labeled as small,medium, large, or free size (one size fits all.), in most cases.

[@Ciaela]

I got the Lush one too! Got a few bathbombs I already had, but I've never used any of the bubble bars so that was new and exciting. I love avocado too, so I was happy I got "Avobath".

[@Ciaela]

I know. And I was looking forward to it too, I even called them the best store in all of Japan!

[@Ciaela]

For clothing, yes! The bags are categorized as "small", "medium", "large", etc. But in super-popular stores, if you're not quick, small and medium sell out fast and "large" will be the only choice remaining. :)

[@hfsav001]

Micaela, this has to be one of my favorite videos - OF ALL TIME. I didn't even mind that it was out of focus. I loved that you opened your bags in the video and I learned something new about Japan. Thank you! I know that it's hard not to be hard on yourself for perceived production quality problems, but those things only matter if the content is not good. Bye!

[@nainnn1]

明けましておめでとうございます！これからも頑張ってください！

[@thekingrah]

genius way to sell the stuff that wont sell by the end of the year. adding in some of the wanted stuff just keeps the people coming.さすが日本だな～

[@Ciaela]

I'm pretty sure that the apple store ones are already all claimed. They get lineups around the block from the day before they even start selling them. Haha, but I buy all my Mac computers refurbished and save money that way. :) You could try that! Free shipping, too!

[@Ciaela]

I went to grab the link for you but the Japanese apple store is down for updates right now. It's on the apple store website, in the bottom left corner, there should be a link to the refurbished items. I bought my macbook pro for 8man yen there. :)

[@MrP0lar]

2014 fukobukuro please

[@FuuuhQ2]

Hey Ciaela, Happy New Year! I've been watching the whole range of your videos from your earliest to the latest. And i've definitely observed that you used to be really bratty and whiny back in the earlier days, but you've matured into a real wonderful woman!

[@HeatherColoredOwls]

I haven't been in Japan around new years, so I've never been able to buy one, but I've always wanted to. Was really fun watching you open your bags!

[@TeddieSage1987]

Okay. Anyways thank you so much for showing the rest of the world all those funny, unique things from Japan. Your videos are entertaining and educative for some. Happy New Year!

[@4kiduki]

不幸袋とは、ワロタ。今年も必ず良い年に成りますよ。新年早々楽しいビデオありがとう。

[@yumyumsesame]

This was a good video! I asked some of my friends about what's in 福袋 and they'd never bought one! You got some nice stuff from that first store. That cloth would make a great cubby house.

[@nekomaru42]

「ふくぶくろ」の発音が日本人そのもので、見事です。 そして、いつ見てもかわいいね！！

[@Ciaela]

Yes. They are categorized as "small", "medium", or "large" bags. :)

[@mustangrebus]

Thank you for making this video. For the last couple of years I have had an incredible curiosity about Fukubukuro. I don't know why, but I did. Thank you. And of course, Happy New Year.

[@HelloTheNamesJeremy]

LOL at that big tablecloth thing, so funny. I bet whoever packed that one had a good laugh. Nice vid, but like you already know, needs moar focus, haha. Happy new year.

[@Ciaela]

わお！でも、そうですね。考えたら凄くお得ですね。おめでとう！

[@DGroves93]

Great video! There always so cheery and I always learn something new about Japan! Keep up the amazing work!

[@hagakureistheway8651]

Hi Micaela, Wow Japanese culture is so funky fresh, I really must visit Japan one day! I think leaving home at a young age to go to another country and following your heart is far out, you go girl! Very funny and interesting uploads. :)

[@Fantasy_Fi]

LOL "HAND BLASTER!!!!!" you are such a good editor micaela!

[@decemberclouds]

Happy New Year! I love the black jacket in the first bag. The second bag was very... interesting.

[@Ciaela]

I've done tons of giveaways, so I don't appreciate that. The reason I'm not doing one "NOW", or because I'm not keen to do them "ALWAYS" is because it ends up being a lot more trouble than it's worth. I've had items come back to me because winners gave me the wrong address, I've had people complaining and getting upset when they didn't win, I've had people not respond to e-mails--leaving me to pick someone else... Only to have the original person come back and complain... It's just not "fun".

[@tyokoika4810]

僕は学生なのですが楽しく英語が覚えられてとても嬉しいです！これからも頑張ってください

[@honyasenyou]

Avril が日本に来た時、滝沢君とステージの上で、とってもいい感じだったのが懐かしい。

[@Flib_smmh]

Ohw, and congratulations you tooooo!! It was a long long way to 2013, the road was really borring. But hey! Happy new year! Bonne année! Feliz navidad! Frohes neues Jahr!

[@DxDutch]

aaah that's so cool!! Wish I could get my hands on some of those bags!! Except I know not to go for the village vanguard bag :p

[@leopoldslikk3121]

I can't believe this video is from 2 years ago already. I'll be old before I know it.

[@goofyyable]

デパートで福袋を売っていましたが、評判や信用にかかわるので必ず得をするものを入れていました。 店によるというのは、すごく的確な紹介でしたね。

[@AdaminNihon]

I'm going to check the sales out in Tokyo today, hopefully there are some good bags!

[@sorooro]

Happy birthday .. I wish you more happiness more success more friends more beauty, keep up the good work micaela chan

[@Ciaela]

Oh, you can choose the size. For clothes, many stores sell different bags categorized by "small", "medium" or "large". :)

[@hirosan1356]

テンション上がってるミカエラさん可愛いですね♪

[@Ciaela]

Yes! The jacket was the exact one I wanted. They were like, "It could be white, beige or black." and I was wondering who I was going to give it to if it wasn't what I wanted... :P

[@1015venti]

お母さんにやるってｗｗｗｗｗ 可愛い福袋なので、変なものが入っていて　＞＜ 紹介してくれてありがとう！！

[@Ciaela]

わー凄い。おみくじだったら大吉ですよね、それ！

[@mmuranaka5999]

あけまして、おめでとうございます ＴＶでミカエラさんの紹介があってからファンになりました。 福袋は楽しいですねー こちら（神戸）の福袋は中身が見える（見せている）のがいっぱいあります。 また、内容が袋に書いてるのが主流で～す

[@tatsnakai]

リスニングの勉強に聞こうと思ってたら内容も面白くて動画漁ってますwwこれからも更新期待してますー！

[@azumaninjay]

I like how the only way you could make your mom not think it was crap too was to say. "It's from Japan" :) Happy New Year Ciaela

[@fmfmnico]

あの派手な服でも可愛く着こなせてましたよ 面白い動画をありがとう

[@StevenLeeA]

Hahaha love the hand blaster sound effects! And you are cute as well :D

[@Ciaela]

I don't really enjoy translating all that much, so I don't really look for translating work. I'm not really sure how to go about getting jobs as an interpreter, although I'm sure there are tests and certification you need if you're going to be working for big clients like that...

[@zelgie3013]

Happy belated new year! I love your videos! It makes me feel like I'm in Japan too! Hope you keep posting more videos :)

[@Ciaela]

"Happy New Year" :)

[@fabulousprofound]

that second bag is like regifting gone wrong.... (and happy new year micaela)

[@Ciaela]

ビックカメラもやってたんですね？　何が入ってたんですか？

[@KanraNingyou]

I love your randomness. "There's a bow on my head!" XD

[@StarbucksJapan]

Happy　Newyear! 今年も楽しみにしてます！

[@xxshinrai]

If you're planning to do this again next year, I'd love to see another video about it :D

[@Ciaela]

I figured the compression would make the blur less apparent. Bahaha.

[@Rondadoreronda]

You're a lucky bag, aren't you? Seeing you makes us happy. I'm Japanese, but I've never bought lucky bags. Next year, I'll try to.

[@エロ川コナン-u8s]

ミカエラさんを見ていると人生ってこんなにも楽しめるんだなと気づきました(^^)

[@jewelschan]

I love surprise bags, this amuses me, so much!

[@purtygirlmar]

I'm so glad you did this video! I'm going to go to American Village (I live in Okinawa) and find fukubukuro today! Hopefully they still have some left. :)

[@yamatyaso]

いつもみてます！ ミカエラさんおもしろいです(^O^)／ ビレッジバンガードの福袋は独特な商品がいっぱい...いらないものも... でも服はいいものが手に入ってよかったですね！

[@Ciaela]

At the apple store? I'm not sure. I've never gone. The people who get the apple store fukubukuro usually start lining up a day before. It isn't only for women :). I'm a woman which is why I chose to buy clothes, but electronics stores, some popular restaurants, and men's clothing stores also do them. :)

[@alexandriaichihara5403]

That black jacket is SO cute! and thats a great price for all the clothes you got! :D Lol, that tacky shirt with the rinestones looks like something a girl in the City Hunter anime would wear :P Sooooo dated and bright~

[@Yyyy-tc5tq]

You are speak Japanese very well and pronunciation is good and so cute :D I bought FUKUBUKURO too. ...that was FUKOUBUKURO lol

[@MasahiroNatsuhori]

ミカエラさん，あけましておめでとうございます。ミカエラさんのいつも前向きに日本や福岡から新鮮な情報を発信していただく姿にとても感心しています。どうもありがとうございます。今年もその勢いで，どうぞよろしくお願いいたします！今年も素晴らしい一年になりますように！☆*:.｡. o(≧▽≦)o .｡.:*☆

[@scotty523]

Happy New Years! Cute bow!

[@venom333100]

Its nice seeing this channel grow so much since last few years @.@

[@borugani]

面白かったです。 あけましておめでとうございます!

[@Natashakiable18]

Wow. That's pretty cool. When you said "bag" I imagined a paper bag filled with random items like they do here in America for kids. Lol.

[@ShawnaSmoke]

That's an awesome concept. I wish Canadian stores would do that.

[@murry001]

i want to hug Ciaela, she is so cute

[@katmcdowellmusic]

I think it's crazy how people spend hours lining up waiting for the shops to open on the 1st!

[@riodesire7931]

英語聞き取りやすい

[@soulitune]

How funny! Thanks for sharing the contents of your fukubukuro. Very interesting thing to pick up while in Japan. :D

[@viktoriagal5993]

Happy New Year, Micaela!^^

[@taerkun]

ありがとうございます！！　ミカエラさんもお洋服や帽子似合ってますよ♪おめでとうございます！！(#^.^#)

[@hwimochie]

This video turned 4 years old today! Happy 2017 :33

[@facemonkey13]

That last purpley sequined shirt seemed tacky at first, but it wasn't so bad once you had it on.

[@kaaota]

My family love buying Mr donuts's Fukubukuro. And I think it really is worth.

[@dansmith1998]

She's given away things before... Check out the Watermelon Pepsi Salty video. Also, what she does on HER channel is HER business!

[@oomitirui601]

ミカエラちゃんかわゆす！！

[@crazedanisa]

Very nice idea. Would have a lot of fun buying these bags in Japan. :) how would u be lucky enough to get your size?? Or they 1 size fits most or something like that??

[@Flib_smmh]

Yeaaah a tajine! :D You really must be so happy with that!

[@Kmui0821]

不幸袋買うのやーめた（笑） ミカエラさんかわいい！！

[@revolutionforjapan]

Your headband is so cute^^ What do you do if you get Fukubukuro which doesn't contain clothes you can put on like too big one?

[@sayapuuuka]

開けましておめでとうございまーす 内容的に合っているよねw

[@anime8explode]

I actually liked the "tacky" shirt. It looks nice on you.

[@tur3937]

あけおめことよろ。

[@Mrtake0]

初見です！！ かわいいし、日本語上手ですね888

[@burlingk]

The first bag at least was awesome. O.o The coat probably paid for the entire trip (I mean, it was probably worth whatever you paid on the bags). I miss Japan.

[@honeyxlemons]

Has anyone ever told you how much you look like Takeuchi Yuko? :D My sister just introduced me to you, you're all kinds of awesome!

[@CluGaming]

Hello from the year 2014.

[@TheCraZyShinJin]

I missed the occasion last year to try this... and now i can t buy any of these, i am not in japan anymore ... too bad

[@Ciaela]

やはりForever21かCecilかなー♬

[@aliasnate]

Thats so cool! I wish we had that in the states

[@stephanietanniss]

Yaaay happy new year!!!

[@Ciaela]

HAHA, When I saw that all the clips were out of focus I pretty much wanted to quit youtube forever.... But I realized the best thing I could do was go ahead and try to make a video anyway.....

[@akiraakira85]

最近ではグループで福袋を買って交換するのが流行っているらしいですよ。 ミカエラさんも来年はグループを作って買ってみるのも面白いかもしれませんよ

[@wulfluvr4433]

In Hawaii, since it's very Japanese culturally, we do Fukubukoro at all our malls :)

[@ufoooooon]

あけおめ！

[@pineconiemillie123]

You should do a prize giveaway with the stuff you don't want! I know that most people in the US would be psyched to get a Japanese dish brush! :DDD

[@ItsGmezPoy]

@Ciaela Hello, i like your vid. It only increased my passion to go and live in Japan. So i was curious, are you on a work visa?

[@gonzaress200]

ソフトフォーカスカワイイ！ いつもかわいいですけどね〜♪

[@Shovi_]

When you said you were gonna give those useless things to your mom and the "conversation" you imagined made me laugh so hard i spilled water out of my mouth (was drinking at that time).
