Signs You've Been in Japan Too Long.

If you enjoyed the video please thumb it!
I've picked up a lot of habits living in Japan for over 8 years, some of which get me into awkward situations overseas! If you've lived or travelled in Japan I hope you can relate.

mimei わー！みめいちゃん大好きです😍

[@RachelandJun]

I always forget that everyone else can turn the shutter sound off on their cameras! haha So true, that really is a little "huh?" moment every time.

[@3DJapan]

I can turn mine off but I usually don't since it's helpful.

[@Rose_from_UK]

Can you not in Japan?

I didn't even live in Japan just for a single day but when i thank someone i can't stop bowing! And when i came late to class i always bow and say sorry. Can't say 'i feel u' but love u♡ I was waiting for you to comeback for days. *WELCOME BACK* *~*

Im planning my month long trip to japan once i graduate! So excited and will probably not want to leave, glad you are back Mimei and hope you are feeling well!

[@ああ-w9d6h]

動画投稿されて嬉しみが深い‥

[@ayuumi6262]

The bowing is so contagious, you don't even need to live in Japan. xD We traveled in Japan for 3 weeks, went back and oh boy.... it was hard to stop bowing... It's been about 1 year since we last visited Japan and there is still one thing that persists... walking on the right side all the time. I cannot tell you how annoyed I am when people walk in random directions and don't stick to one side. I'm also an expat, but living in Denmark, and some things are the same. Forgetting some words or not knowing really how to translate them can be a bother, or just Danishizing the language, because well why not? it makes sense in Danish. XD People also ask me to tell them about the current state of my original country and what places they should visit. I literally asked my mom to write to me what I should respond to them.

[@AllSeeingJoven]

Wow the editing on this was great ! especially the end screen loved that camera/sound .

[@塩辛-e8r]

ジョンさんの英語の発音だいすき！

[@miyukikawano9637]

見るのおそくてごめん🙇‍♀️(おじぎしてるw) Mimeiががんばって作ってくれたVideo ほんとうにありがとう😊 私のいなかは、Miyazaki きのう、たいふうがスゴイと聞いて いなかの情報わからないなぁと思ったよ。 大好きMimei💓

My dad crammed a pizza box into the misc kitchen trash can and I screamed inside 😂.

[@rikirikirikibo]

ジョンさん! お久しぶりですね✌

[@dontbeood]

I live in Korea but I could relate to all of this haha going back to the States in a couple months and I'm so anxious about the reverse culture shock.

[@ぴか-m4b]

ジョンさん出てくれて嬉しい。

[@laurarm1794]

Love the video, as always! ❤️ Also, I've really missed John-san 🙈

[@ShakinSlim]

ニュージーランドに帰った時から「めんどくさい」と言いたいことがいっぱいあります。「ちょっと違うけど」は正確な感じ（笑）。すみません、三年間日本に住んでいたけど日本語をあまり喋られない。w

[@いちごドロップ]

ずいぶんカッコイイ男性外国人だなぁ〜と思ったらみめいさんでびっくりこいた。

[@mi_ddle]

じょんさん久しぶり〜

[@FrankBernard]

WELCOME BACK MOM-EI 🙆🏻‍♂️

[@kim-wu6sw]

ミメイちゃん久しぶりだ〜〜（ ; ; ）💗

[@ShiverzInJapan]

Oshibori 4 lyfe true dat! I think the making sounds for answers like "NNN" or "so so so" is definitely something and the addiction to anything stocking based/neko mimi is a something for me.

[@paulgranberg8971]

I was in rural Japan for a number of years and it wasn't unusual to go months without seeing another European face. I used to be surprised when going to Tokyo and seeing 'foreigners' there. Automatically moving to the Left on escalator's. Thinking and saying "Eh To" out loud Referring to the Ground floor in NZ as being the 1st Floor when giving directions. Enjoying your videos! I'm a fellow Kiwi too.

[@johji_45]

日本の素晴らしき伝統ですね

[@violetxmoonlight]

The bowing struggle is real. went to Japan for only two weeks and then had Japanese class at my university... 2 years ago. It took me a year to stop bowing, and even now I'll do one without realizing it if someone helps me out. My sister thought I developed a twitch!!

[@CandyflossOverkill]

I missed John-san!! Also I definitely caught the bowing all the time thing and forgetting English words... even after only one year :') (p.s. you're the cutest and I love your videos aaaahh)

[@ki9496]

ジョンさん久しぶり！w

[@KeiraAshley]

WELCOME BACK MIMEI! #sorelatable P.S. You look gorgeous & your hair is getting so long!

[@kirstyturnbull7928]

KeiraInTokyo キーラ ahhhh I thought the same thing! She's so cute 💗

[@milamihaylova6757]

John-san it's good to see you're back 😁

[@user-gr3ef8nk2t]

私もよく海外でお辞儀しちゃう！笑笑 した後に あっしなくていいんだって思い出すw

[@sk-ss6ie]

ジョンさん好きすぎるw

[@seerasan]

Haha I relate to the bowing one so much. Right after finishing my Japan exchange I was late to class once, bowed to the teacher apologising for being late... & everyone laughed at me 😂

[@user-rs1wc9qs3n]

ermergerd you don't have bangs at the end (I like it) and yes I relate to the people taking your photo forever thing xD. Where's the shutter sound, why is it taking so long loool. Also I want those garbage bin stickers (is it a sticker on your plastics one?) It's oddly satisfying to sort bottles.

[@ウラジミールプーチン]

未明さんは日本人の鑑はっきりわかんだね

[@heyitssho]

I'm Japanese/English bilingual and OMG the "mendokusai" translation struggle is REAL! I tend to use "such a pain", but it's. not. the. SAME!

[@hinaka5415]

私は逆にニュージーランドにきてからギャップを受けていることがたくさんあります笑

[@obsercule583]

Aw I love your video style! 😍 great to see John-san again as well ^ ^

[@qbmr0bawdiesz]

これかなり好きなんだけど もっと見られてもいいと思う😔

[@sophiat9111]

Mimei you are just amazing ♡

[@GwZ2I7L89kBQ]

「面倒くさい… "So annoying" ちょっと違うけど…」　分かるこれw

みめいさん、綺麗、、

[@lookatmybooks1214]

Ahh I'm Always so happy when I can watch a new video :) Your videos are always so Fun to watch and it was great to see both you and John-san again :) Greetings from Germany 😉

[@CN-qk8is]

ミメイさん、イケメン！！

[@ninjamaikeru]

3:22 omg those YOI stickers are so darn cute!

[@solutionarchitect123]

Hi Minei! I’m staying in Blenheim in New Zealand right now! Here is so nice:)

[@kimxxx58]

I really like the transition song it's so catchy 💛🎶🎶🎶

[@stevecriddle]

Nice to see you again, Mimei.

[@Daikamaitachi]

I recall some psychological study about people who speak multiple languages. It said something like those who do end up formulating a "hybrid" language in their everyday thoughts, and end up "short term memory losing" bits and pieces of their primary language.

[@文系の民]

お久しぶりです‼

[@Shubbins]

The peace sign in pictures counts as just hanging out with Japanese (and Korean) people too much as well. Ever since I started hanging out with a few new friends from those places I can’t stop throwing up a peace sign in every picture. I do it so much now lmao

[@kuniohasegawa6785]

お辞儀をするのは、面白い。日本の礼儀作法が身についているね。

[@paul28177]

wow... i can so relate to this. Whenever I visit home in the UK it takes me awhile to get used to speaking only english - i often forget basic words. With the trash, I remember asking my mum where things go and she was like "oh...that just goes in the normal bin" -- it felt weird that i wasnt separating stuff (where my parents live they have recyling for newspapers, cardboard, tins... everything else is regualr trash)

[@aikom9962]

確かに海外はおしぼりがなくて本当に萎える(T ^ T)だからおしぼりを持ち歩いている日本人よく見ます！

[@TS-mt5jt]

私は逆に今ニュージーランドに留学中なのですが、日本語をより英語がぽろっと出たり(一番ひどいのは日本に一時帰国した時に入国審査官に向かってThank youと言ったことです笑)この動画見て、ああ私お辞儀してないやとか思いました笑

[@isasaki419]

たしかに日本人はお辞儀よくしてるね笑

[@t0kyma129]

I've been living in japan for 5 months now and this is all so relatable ( * ˊᵕˋ ) I'm obsessed with your Japanese videos ! I love showing my Japanese classmates what my Japanese life is like from my foreign point of view,,,

[@thundercats_hoooo879]

Happy to see some videos from you recently, Mimei! I'm glad you can/could take some time off from youtube if that's what you need(ed)/have been doing by choice (as insinuated by the "things are changing" video on the other channel), for your own sake/health/well-being, but I'm still really glad when I see new uploads form you again :') You keep doing you - thanks for being such a positive influence in the world. I'm always impressed with the attitude you have about things, and the things you say about life. I know we all have our bad days, so I hope comments like this don't make you feel like you have to always be perfect and happy and content, and make you feel guilty if you're not always on point, but your attitude has been a positive influence in my world since I've dived into your channels, so I just want to say thanks for your perspective and genuineness! Hope you've been doing well! ^-^

i once bowed when someone said hi to me and that was when i realized i should slow down on anime

[@imseeno]

ive noticed myself bowing a lot also. even when i went back to california on vacation, i still bowed even when greeting some friends lol

[@auraur77]

好き！！！！ 面白いwwww

[@sunflowerthebunbunbunny]

Cute video!

[@caleighrosebud]

I've never been outside of the United States but I watch dramas and my girlfriend told me that I bow a lot hahaha 😅

[@pspdead914]

thumbs up for the last sec woah😂😂pineapple swerve😍

みめい男装違和感ない

[@HelaFortuna]

I dunno about Japan, but one time I watched like 5 seasons of Doctor Who and Broadchurch in a row and I started to use British inflections even though I'm American...

[@rachellathrop5092]

lol me watching too much Mighty Boosh, Russell Brand, Dan and Phil, etc...I thought I was alone lmfao

[@純粋-u6i]

I've never lived in Japan and I do the peace sign in every photo QAQ Although we don't have trash sorters QUITE as sophisticated, we still crumple the waterbottles to make more space before taking them to the recycling place. (The denser it is, the more money you get)

[@jjryan1352]

Oh God they are still doing the peace sign here in Indonesia too.

[@Rose_from_UK]

You look super pretty and radiant in this video #killingit x

[@大谷小夜]

ジョンさんお久しぶりです！ 嬉しいです(　˙ω˙　)/

[@ChibiMikanx3]

I want to turn into a mimei too !!

[@ratsoftheplague]

standing in line for public transport in your home country and then getting angry when everybody just runs onto the bus even though you were in line first before remembering that NOBODY cares about who was there first outside of japan...

[@nursemain3174]

Mimei is so beautiful

[@山本さん-v3h]

外国のレストランに行った時、フォークとスプーンを机に直接ポイって置かれてびっくりした。机を拭いてるところ見てなかったから不安でとっさにティッシュ取って敷いてその上に置いたよ…

[@すずなすずしろ-h2i]

お綺麗です(*^^*)

[@shooklee387]

Some of the exchange students that I get pared with and help with English will repeat words in Japanese until they remember the word in English and I find that really cute!

[@alexiahime8778]

I was only in Japan for about 3 months for school and I still always do a lot of these from pure habit lol 😂

[@xspxmcrxfftlx]

I've never been to Japan but I'm very interested in it and I work at a tourist attraction in America and we get people from all over the world. I've taken to bowing when I get people from Japan and I only realise afterwards or when my co worker looks at me funny. I can't help it.

[@Geck0GC]

I've never been to Japan but my Mum once gave me food and I did a little bow.
