Congratulations on being in Good Morning America and Sharing your Experience. 😍😍😭😭❤❤

As a big fan of Kimono Mom I am so happy she started her channel.

[@olyarushchak5978]

Hi Kimono Mom, I saw your video in “Day in a life of Japan mom”🇯🇵 for the first time, later I saw your own channel. I’m so glad to see that you are happy and inspiring others through simple daily blessings. Your relationship with your husband and daughter are full of harmony, one of my favorite is how they surprised you with Spa Day and dinner on your bday 💛 Wishing you blessings and much luck! Olya P.S. we also have a channel - Willy and Olya #wovlog😀

[@Violet.18]

👏Congratulations Moe for being on Good Morning America🌞🇺🇸👍!!! I have watched and loved you since your very first video on Paolo's channel and followed you and Sutan and Moto on your own KZbin channel. Thank you for bringing us so much happiness, love, laughter and great food every week. We love you 💜💘💜

I’m glad they referenced Paolo. I watched his series and I’m so glad kimono mom made her own channel

Paolo is the happy Japan tour guide. references to him is a class act thing to do!

I didn't know she was divorced. Glad she's happy now. I love her channel. Her cooking is easy and her baby daughter Sutan is so cute.

She has the most beautiful face. Her photo is the complete regalia is stunning. I'm truly happy that she was able to pursue two of her passions at separate points in her life: becoming a geisha, and then becoming a wife and mother. I wish her, Sutan, and her husband all the happiness in the world.

[@kissingrain]

Paolo man! Shout out to Paolo fromTokyo; Without you there wouldn’t be a Kimono Mom! Thanks Moe, Sutan and Paolo for positive, enjoyable and encouraging KZbin channels!

[@juanar4305]

I remember this Paolo's episode

[@karenmbbaxter]

She was a beautiful geisha and she is a beautiful mother and wife.

[@alexisisawesome15]

I've been following Moe and Sutan for about a year now, her recipes are delicious, and her videos are so heartwarming watching Sutan grow and the beautiful relationship she shares with her Okasan. This is a channel anyone would love

[@SuperSkyheart2]

I like how true she seems as a mom. Your child needs you, you step away to care for them. May God continue to Bless her and her family

[@constantcomment1954]

Moe, very happy to learn you have stepped out on your own and took your future into your own hands. Now you are independent and only need to rely on yourself, and you are a true success. Congratulations!

[@ley_la9554]

It feels like if a dear friend of mine had achieved something great. I'm really happy she gets the recognition she deserves . Moe and her little family are trully wonderfull and l wish them all the best in this world .

[@rg20322]

Same here!!

[@mommymarine1756]

Hey! I follow her and Paolo. It’s awesome to see she made GMA. I love her and her husband’s relationship. You can tell he’s not a typical Japanese husband by the way he interacts with both of them.

[@CookieBear187]

It’s been very fun watching her sweet videos and seeing her baby grow up! 頑張ってください。

[@fy3845]

I started following Moe when she had 100,000 subscribers and Sutan was just a baby. She made Japanese home cooking so easy and "real" that I enjoyed trying her recipes. It was also great watching Sutan grow and how Moe let's Sutan learn to cook beside her. I was also very touched by her video/talk about her past and what she has learn through her challenges and continues to grow. I wish the family continue success and happiness. -

Who cares if you start from 100 or 100,000 -_-

[@whyyesitsmeee]

I love kimono mom! Her recipes are great and she's such a good mom.

[@Chemicalkinetics]

Her recipes are very easy too. None of recipes are difficult. They are great for anyone with wants to invest 30-60min.

[@UserInterface00]

Moe came a long way from being featured in Paolo’s KZbin channel. Congrats on everything and Sutan is the cutest baby on KZbin!

[@nickstoli]

Wow. I watch her channel and Paolo's. They've made it! And Paolo's the Oprah of KZbin: he features someone, they become big.

[@funniburnz4942]

My thoughts after reading this comment were ... "It's official, Paolo needs a new t-shirt" 😂👍 #JapansOprah

[@MyawMyaw01]

I also came to know about Moe through Paolo's channel and was intrigued by her cooking and of course baby Sutan's adorableness ☺️

[@shonamckenzie7124]

I love her and her family, I've made a few of her dishes and they are so delicious, plus Sutan is just hilarious such a animated 2 year old and her vocab is amazing

[@americandevo]

I subscribed to Kimono Mom's Kitchen when she had 300 followers and looked forward to Friday's when Moe would post a new recipe. I have enjoyed watching her and her family and also watching her channel grow to over 1 million subscribers. Congratulations Moe!

[@CherryBlossom-ni2be]

I knowww!! It's like being proud moms or rather friends lol seeing someone blossom into a flower. It's great to see youtuber's who just literally started from so few viewers and then grow into a million in a short span of time.

It's actually kind of sad. She divorced, but stayed friends with her ex, but he got sick and passed away (if I remember correctly). She discusses it in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lV7HeamArrSfmqc

[@WakeUpSmellTheCoffee]

Idk when “day in the life of” stuff became popular, but there was this girl I followed BEFORE the pandemic that did exactly this kind of video. Except, she never says anything and you can never see her whole face. Anyways, it seriously helped me cope with not being able to go out, travel, live my life for a year until I got used to the new way of life. I am glad this Kimono mom found a place for that on KZbin as well, cuz she said it saved her. Which in turn, probably saved even more ppl like me. Lol

[@Im____ltm]

Love Moe and her sweet family so much!!

[@jxxnmatt2065]

Kimono and her 'mini-me' little one are so adorable and happy. Thankfully she was able to have this change in her life. But to save someone only to enslave them as her initial relationship did, is ludicrous. May the girls have many happier days!
