⛩️ Life of an influencer Living in Japan | Social media Tips, Juneteenth GALA

[@Natnap24]

The Juneteenth event was everything and I can say that your additions to the the dress did not look like you made it up. I was actually amazed that the gold piece was a belt. Would have never guessed if you hadn’t said what it was. I admire your creativity. May God bless this channel! Keep doing what you’re doing!

[@SundaiLove]

🥹 yay thank you love

[@journeywithjami]

because of you, I’ve loc’d my hair, started working out, minding my eating habits and looking to start a vegetable garden soon. you are very VERY influential and your videos are impactful. you look amazing as well Sundai, and I’ll vibe with ALL your videos. you are that interesting to watch ❤

[@SundaiLove]

Omg that’s so awesome 🥹thanks for the love and support boo

[@m.l.hunter2727]

I would like to see you use your culinary skills, and cook some of that organic food that you harvest from your garden. It could just be a Sunday meal, whether it's breakfast, or dinner. That would be awesome. Love u girl.

[@SundaiLove]

That’s a good idea ❤

[@ayb1470]

I watch your channel because it is not a touristy gimmick. It's just you and your life, you have so much charisma and personality and your life is interesting because you live somewhere completely different to where I am and it's nice to see how other people live. Please just continue as you are!

[@mimanei]

yes exactly🥹

[@chum0840]

hard agree! exactly what I was thinking while she was asking :') ❤️ ps am obsessed with the braids Sundai!!

[@toniankelly]

Sundai, your dress, belt, scarf collab was a success 👌🏾🔥

[@SundaiLove]

😭 thanks boo

[@JimiSunsets]

Honestly can we all just give a round of applause for Sundai being the baddieeeeeeeeee that she is. Cat mom, booty tattoo, slim waist having girl in the middle of Japan! 🎉

[@lovenspired]

Hi Sundai, I've been a loyal subscriber for years and have often wanted to share my thoughts on your videos but never wanted to come across as disrespectful by giving unsolicited opinions. Here are some of my thoughts: I think I speak for many when I say that I love how you stand out from typical J-vloggers by focusing on your life in Japan rather than just top ten lists and interviews. Some of the videos I've enjoyed the most, which also seem to perform well on your channel, include: 1. Your trips and ventures around Japan. 2. POV videos, like "day in the life" segments. 3. Apartment and house hunting videos - the golden content for Japan enthusiasts. 4. Productivity and work-focused videos - "a day in the life" of your work routine. While I appreciate your passion for your animals and garden, those segments are starting to feel repetitive. These might be better suited for Instagram stories rather than taking up significant portions of your weekly vlogs, which are typically around fifteen minutes long. I love seeing your pets and plants, but the main draw for many of us is seeing the unique aspects of a Black woman's life thriving in Japan. Despite living in Japan for almost ten years, we rarely see the raw moments of your interactions with Japanese people in various settings like convenience stores, cafes, and hotels. Even though you're not fluent in the language, that's precisely the content many of us are eager to see - how you navigate daily life in Japan despite the language barrier. This kind of content is both educational and entertaining. Additionally, you often mention having a lot of work to do, but it would be great if you could take us through your workflow. Show us more about what you do, who you work with, and the details of your projects. Sharing the "who, what, when, where, and why" of your work would be incredibly inspiring. Many of us are fascinated by how you've managed to build and sustain a life in Japan, and seeing the details of your grind would be motivating. Here are a few more suggestions: 1. Cultural Experiences: Create videos that explore Japanese culture from your perspective. This could include festivals, traditional practices, and local customs that you encounter in your daily life. 2. Personal Stories: Share more personal stories and experiences from your time in Japan. This could include funny anecdotes, memorable moments, or significant milestones in your life there. 3. Challenges and Q&A: Engage with your audience by doing challenges they suggest or holding Q&A sessions where you answer their questions about life in Japan, your experiences, and any other topics they are curious about. 4. Mental Health and Self-Care: Discuss how you manage your mental health and self-care while living abroad. This can be incredibly relatable and helpful for viewers who are also living away from home or considering it. 5. Viewers’ Choice: Occasionally let your subscribers vote on what type of content they want to see next. This can increase engagement and ensure you're providing content that your audience is most interested in. Thank you for all the amazing content you create. Your journey is truly inspiring, and I look forward to seeing more of your life and experiences in Japan.

🥹 this was truly amazing feedback thank you. Definitely taking notes

@@SundaiLovethank you so much for reading my comment. I’m excited to see the new content you make with our feedback ☺️🩷

[@Uzosfoodlabs]

This is free advise consultants would charge for. Absolutely love the concise, thoughtful and respectful way you shared. You should consider sharing your thoughts on channels if people reach out to you❤

[@usagikawaii81]

WoW! Very well said! I am also what I like to call a silent audience member. I very rarely comment or interact with the videos I watch. I will say that I actually do love seeing the animals and as someone with a garden, I like seeing how hers is coming along. That being said, I 100% agree with all of your other feedback! I would be ok with her spreading out the garden updates, for more videos of her interacting with Japanese society. Even if it is just showing her ordering, and simple interactions. I love seeing people as they grow, especially someone who has stated that she has a reading disability. It is inspiring to see!

I second this because that wabi sabi hoodie was calling to me and its currently Out of stock :..)

[@marlenrendon27]

I say, keep doing you! You're doing amazing! Keep traveling, keep eating amazing food, keep gardening, and keep working hard because its motivating, I have two requests, more videos of play time with Dutchee and Puff and your review on anime. That is all 😊

[@SundaiLove]

Thanks boo ❤❤ will do

[@Kibenwa]

The braids were perfect for the occasion Sundai! You looked fabulous. And the creativity of that outfit blew me away😅. It would be great to see more content on some of your fave anime shows, and also what you eat at home - meals you make from your veggie garden. 😊

[@opaljohnson4762]

Wanna see you and Ash going on road trips again. Those were fun

(dyslexic and dyspraxic apologies for the start of the message) I would love Sundai to Teach us how to start a business in Japan and what is required. Please also recap your first experience in Japan, the challenges you faced, and the positive things you overcame.

as the eldest sister in a brown family, you inspire me to live my life to the fullest. i have been a follower since 2020 and im so grateful to find inspiration from your videos. thank you for your authenticity!

[@MegaDollful]

tbh it don't matter what you record your videos really helps me with my depression or anxiety especially with the stress on the daily. I just love your videos.

[@gbabytiff]

The outfit is giving Black American Princess vibes I love it!

[@flblackbutterfly1]

Honestly, your life in Japan is interesting. That alone makes it nice to watch. Keep doing what you are doing. No need to improve on “perfection.”😊

[@desireeworth6004]

that dress was AMAZING!!!! loved it so much literally jaw dropped! Love this channel so much!

[@InkJuggler]

Idk how I never noticed this before, I guess I've just always been so caught up in what you're sharing with us, but you are an *incredible* videographer. Your cinematic quality is insane!

What you are doing is just fine. you are showing your life and i love it.

[@rubies200]

Sundai. I love the way you made your way, out of "no way". When you were a young girl, you were already starting businesses. You got out of L.A. when most people would have languished there. You debuted on "America's Top Model" even though your background was no-so-great. You have talent and ambition which has taken you all over the world--even though you're sick. You've proved that you can survive, and thrive, anywhere you go. Anything you do, I'll watch and be inspired.❤

[@himeneko1402]

I love your channel cuz its about you and getting to know the real you living in japan and how u see and interact with the country and culture. I feel like its so much more refreshing than the typical hey here a foreigner/ black girl abroud or hey heres this country & things to do. Nothing wrong with you showed it is about sundae love a person with her own thought, personnality, values which living her own journey and i love that cuz its not even about japan anymore at this point its you and your perspective and the way you live your life i fell in love

[@withloveandchills7674]

I would love to see some more "productivity vlogs" where you just get work done in different places. I've been struggling emotionally since leaving my 9-5 and being a voice actor full time. Didn't realize until now that my self worth is heavily tied to my work and trying to better separate that. Thank you and the video was so calming and inspiring as always!

[@reneesylvestre-williams3912]

The Juneteeth outfit was everything. You looked great and reflected your personality.

[@ChickaIva]

I was in Japan last July and I was happy when it rained because you get a little bit of relief from the humidity. It is so stinking hot and humid, to the point it will distract you from your activities.

[@dday3322]

The dress accessories was genius!! And the Juneteenth celebration was epic….perfect presentation of REPRESENTATION!!!

[@goodjudygirlfriend]

Omg this was so awesome to see. I live in Okinawa and the hubby and I went to our first Juneteenth festival on the island this past weekend (we kept missing it due to vacations) and we had a blast, it was right off the beach and people from all walks of life showed up it was nice. I cracked up when “Before I Let Go” played in your video because they played it at ours too and of course folks were doing “The Electric Slide” and the people who pledged in college did they’re line moves too. It would be really nice to go to a Juneteenth in mainland too, we’ve already met the owners of Soul Food house so we’d see some familiar faces and who knows we may have known some other folks there too. Your dress with the belt and scarf came out so cute, if you didn’t say it was a belt I wouldn’t have known.

[@aangeliqued]

Sundai, can I just say how much your energy and your videos have had a positive effect on my life?! Like truly. I was feeling like I was going into a rut today, but then I remembered you posted a video and went to watch it because I know I’ll feel better after 💛

[@animefan2007bg]

I’d love you to see more garden updates, general day in my life and your motivational content as it keeps me inspired. So basically everything you are doing already 😊

[@MagiHaven]

Hi Sunday!❤ for a video idea “What’s in my emergency Grab and Go bag?” Like essential supplies for emergency situations like evacuations. Japan has a lot of inexpensive stores like Diaso and I’ve been enjoying watching people do hauls related to being prepared.. either way I love watching your channel it’s comforting and fun. You’re the best!

[@Dominiquehotleeus]

Turn the pain into power 🙏🏿

[@JulyMoon82]

This is such a great video, Sundai! That Juneteenth gala looked incredible, and so did you. Your hair, the dress, etc, are beautiful. You're a full on 10, gardening, cat lover, small business owner, funny, and absolutely stunning. Keep doing you.

[@theoryart2183]

Sundai, I’m sure you hear this constantly, but you are a huge inspiration. You’re younger than me but I want to be like you when I grow up. I haven’t been watching for years and seeing your growth and your grace through life has helped in ways I can’t really summarize in a comment. Having said that, I would love to see a video for places you would go to relax/or pamper yourself in Japan. I know you prefer to be busy and I know you love cafes, but if you could go somewhere just for peace’s sake, I would love to see that. Thanks for all you do

[@ubirch]

Anything you upload involving productivity/inspiration/doing tough and not fun work in order to chase your dreams - that always helped me a ton!

i love your 'content' style! As a young black girl who aspires to live in Japan i was really happy to find your channel because it was different from the usual tourist type videos. I love your ambition💗(buying a house, owning properties etc) and you inspire me to keep chasing my dreams (going to Japan, and I recently started making my own content)⭐

Hi Sundai, I love the customisation of the dress. Happy to see you were able to celebrate such an important event in Japan 🖤💛. Love what you create and you are simply amazing. Your authenticity, passion and hard work is admirable. Sending you lots of love ✨️🩷

[@flowbynature]

I also wanna say one of the unique things that I love about your channel Sundai is how you always have an empowering quote or lesson from your footage and it always inspires me, please keep that!

[@harper5378]

I have loved all the videos. My favourites are the ones that motivate us to work hard! Anything about your businesses, goals, those reno series, etc. are amazing. I also love any time you work in cafes lol, they help me get shit done too so it's just neat to see.

[@c20street99]

You in that fit😳it literally melted my heart. Such a beautiful African Queen!!!!

I don't remember if you've done one but a video talking about the skincare you've found to work for you in Japan.

[@LetaLuvaLuva]

That juneteenth celebration was so nice to see. Black folks thriving all over the globe is always a win. I am here for this Sunday dress remix. It looked very elegant with a splash of hoochie mama in the back. **Chef's kiss** I would buy that! lol I surprised myself and sang along.

[@Jilljanette]

Miss Sunday, I have recently discovered your channel and I love it. You are a true joy to watch and I especially appreciate your gardening. I am also an October birthday and am turning 65 this year. Please know you always have a bonus grandma in North Carolina who is cheering you on, praying for you, and celebrating your every success. Keep making the best videos and know you are a bright spot in this granny’s day. ❤

[@Jilljanette]

Btw, I spelled your name correctly but spell check autocorrected it. Sorry Sundai.

[@neverknew07]

Your vids are soo coool ! I really liked the home renovations too

[@moavocadoroll]

The type of videos I LOVE and the reason why I watch you is your Vlogs going around different locations, like cafes and shopping, hanging with friends, Your productive work weeks and days of your life! It’s always giving me anime aesthetics. Your vibe is immaculate and you always motivate me to get my shit together. Haha

[@LoisLeonora]

Girl. The exercise and self care routine you are doing is paying off. I know you've been struggling lately, but you look and sound glowing. 🪷

[@dianedecoste266]

Honestly I would say keep doing what you do, because I love every content you make! But I must say that i really loved the travel videos in japan like when you visited hiroshima or the island osaki shimojima, It felt like a dream through the screen! Much love from Europe and keep doing what you do, I will watch it forever!!

[@Heartnostrilz]

[@MC-ww2tv]

Sundai you looked amazing! First I just want to mention what a small world it is: I still can't believe I watch your channel because of my love for Japan but I was also an avid Top Model fan and absolutely remember watching your season! It blows my mind how long I was subscribed to you without knowing you were that same girl in top model. We did not feel safe to participate in Juneteeth celebrations, where we live, this year, so I thank you so much for sharing the Gala; that was beautiful and I love knowing I have something like that to look forward to when I return to Japan. Also feel free to post what ever you like. I love all your content, it brings me peace 😊

[@bigenesis]

The Juneteenth celebration was on point! You looked so fabulous! Are you sure you don't want to be a fashion designer? I love all of your content! Keep doing what you are doing because you inspire so many of us! ❤❤❤

[@Bobbbayyyyy]

I love those pure candies! I always have my sister in law who is in Japan right now send me some!

[@Noname-qk6qp]

I actually really like that you don’t do those top 5 places to visit Tokyo or such. I much rather see genuine blogs about every day life in Japan, just like you are already doing. Really enjoy your videos.

I am sooo in love with your current hairstyle. It is beautiful!

[@chelseacarpenter2302]

Trains!!! I fell in LOVE with trains when I was in Japan! In Arizona we don't really have them lol, the light rail does NOT count 😂 doesn't have to be facts about them but maybe some more awesome shots of them in a travel video? I always love the train shots you do have in your videos. Much love from Arizona 💜💜

Mood Global!! I have always loved hearing about it!

[@mandeep3.14]

The Japan travel videos are a fave, seeing the everyday life in Japan, experiences unique to Japan, anime, videos with Japanese people, fashion content, etc. It would be cool to see the beautiful seasons in Japan i.e. the different floral blooms 🥲.

[@lexycondeelis]

I really appreciate your mindset that people at the top should be bringing others with them. I like that you don't gatekeep either. I love all the lifestyle stuff, of course. It would be really cool to see more business stuff, too. Gardening. I love everything, though. I can't ever start my channel because of that. I'm literally interested in so many things

[@gracevlogsandwrites]

When you started talking about your channel, the vision and all it resonated so much!!! For years I’ve been trying to figure out my niche in travel and been struggling but I realise that I can be the niche! 😭 been travelling/living abroad for 7 years and I could’ve documented that all along but was scared to do so! Thank you for inspiring all of us every day ❤

[@mimanei]

video ideas: - some of ur fav cooking recipes w some gardening - more longer vids where u do trips like the one in kobe (i still rewatch that one so often🤭) and vlogging trips in general honestly i don‘t have much to add as i already love ur channel so much the way it is

[@vyentro29]

I really do adore your videos and the positivity you inject into my Sundays. I watch your videos on the way to work. I also got validation for my dream of being a black girl in Japan, how it’s not impossible but very doable! You’re thriving and I know I will too! ❤

[@otaple]

I LOVE your editing style. Your effort really shows. I'd just be interested in seeing more behind the scenes stuff or insight into filming and editing.

It's always when I'm having a terrible week, or s miserable point of time in my life, then Sundai drops a video and I feel like all is right in the world. I'm inspried, feel comforted and ready for the week. Thanks for being awesome Sundai!❤

KZbin idea consideration: I would love to know how you are coping with grief. My significant other’s mother just passed away earlier this year and his grief manifests in so many different ways. If it’s not too personal, or triggering, I would love to watch a video just to see how you’re doing and taking life one day at a time. Because we are here with you.

[@d.y.e3803]

LOL! I've only taken trips to Japan in late June, July, and August. I like the heat. I was even running around at Disney Sea in July. I walked right up to the ticket window, no line, bought a ticket, and went right in. It was nice to not have tons of crowds, probably due to the heat. Great that you guys were able to Electric Slide yourselves into Juneteenth. It looked like great fun and the people and venue were beautiful. Greetings from Los Angeles
