What I Wore For A Week ALONE In Japan

[@whetlarper]

You shouldn't feel bad for feeling bad even when you have a good life. It's entirely common, normal, and you shouldn't beat yourself up over it. Depression takes shape in a lot of different forms and contexts.

[@phoenix72999]

Yes! My life is not KZbin Glamour Level perfect, just me doing my thing trying to achieve stuff. But how I feel about it varies soo much depending on my mental state. Sending you all my love and support through these hard times, even if it is one week late.

[@Panndourra]

''A day in the life of a Japanese idol group'' sounds like such a fun video idea! Definitely looking forward to that, thank you for providing us with great content Mikan! ♡

[@mashumaromiu9029]

I need this! Idol advice please! 💖

[@cheeseburger7918]

hey i just wanna say that you dont need to feel bad for being depressed while living a ''generally good life''. it can happen to anyone and it isnt reliant on your living situation!!! Also my boyfriend struggles with the same heavy body when he gets into a deeper phase of depression, so youre definitely not alone in that. Also I love all the outfits, koi footwear is the best! Thank you yet again for sharing these cute videos of your daily life

[@allisonoshea5423]

Immediately missing your partner is a wonderful sign of loving your partner. It has soulmate energy, so happy you two have each other

[@herleen5317]

YES A ROADTRIP VLOG WOULD BE SO COOL

[@man-yp1gb]

Yes, that would be thrilling to watch.

[@The_Super_NOVA]

I feel like Teddy wakes up each morning and chooses chaos. Love all your outfits! You are an inspiration to me when I'm feeling insecure about being super skinny and also my cute fashion fix when I'm stuck at home with nowhere fun to go. :) 28:46 That pink outfit WITH that hairstyle. MMM! Perfection!

[@Flamethrower2579]

Don't feel guilty about being depressed, it just hits, I myself remember being pretty depressed even in periods of my life that where actually the best. By the way even if you were depressed you looked sooo cute on friday, definitely my favourite outfit of the week.

[@man-yp1gb]

I've suffered from depression off and on since childhood. Having open sunlight windows and keeping your mind busy helps. Plants and animals are really good stress relievers even aquarium fish. Going out for a walk is good too.

[@Ali_delightful]

I appreciate that you open up about your mental health. I remember seeing something you posted on IG and I thought what could possibly make her unhappy? She's pretty, living the dream in Japan, has a bf, and a successful YT channel and career. It just kind of lets other people know that depression comes in all shapes and forms, no matter who you are, or what you do and I think that's something important to share - which you have.

[@ksimena1]

I also have to tell myself the "I will not shop" mantra every time I'm out alone!!! thank you for another lovely video, it always makes my week better.

[@princessdan896]

you don't know how happy it makes me to see that two of my favorite youtubers know each other ;;;;; also, I LOVED this vlog, your videos always cheer me out a lot

[@MEGGYPROTACAS]

As someone with rapid cycle bipolar disorder, seeing you struggle helps me feel a little less alone in my own struggle. Thank you for your vulnerability Mikan, you inspire me

[@sashablue7079]

hi Mikan your videos always make me have a cozy and calming feeling. your videos are so unique! thank you for working hard and making them 💞🐶🐱

[@Harugiru]

Let's be friends..maybe? I'm happy to see that you're doing so well lately. I'm proud of you! And i'll say it once more, thank you for making me smile!

[@annelisewhite6244]

You can do this in the UK. You can book a weeks intensive course where you drive for about 8 hours a day and take your test at the end. You have to sort out your own transport, accommodation, food etc though.

[@NoraGrand]

In Germany we have a week Long „speed course“ for the theory part of the driver’s license but normally theory does take 4-14 weeks and driving 2-3 months. + the Time you wait for you documents and the allowance to make your license you can come to a total of 3-9 months.

[@hoomancatslave1738]

This is so bizzare, how can people ensure the learner driver's skills are actually instilled in their practice rather than just being rote learned and then forgotten shortly after?

[@nadiabarmasse5294]

You know what Mikan ? You're brave, strong, so kind and so inspiring 💜 And remember your feelings are valid 💜 Sending you lots of love and hugs 💜

[@saf2393]

28:38 sttooop you are not complaining, just because you have a "good life" doesn't mean that you can't have depression, i suffer with it too and i'm also bipolar :) ( good that i can relate to someone:)), and don't keep it in your self ,share it with us ( if you feel comfortable doing it) it's okay to complain about your life , i mean no one has a perfect life, don't worry about it, it's totally okay to feel that way, , i hope that my comment made a little bit of sense , you're one of my favourites youtubers

[@Ananhedonian]

11:28 the dog's face is EVERYTHING!!!! SO CUTE!!

[@dominikakrizova6865]

It's ok to complain, it's much better, actually. My best friend had to teach me, and I am still learning really, that all problems are relevant. Sure, there are people in the world in much worse situations than you, but that does not devaluate your problems and emotions, it's not healthy

[@mccoycyndi]

We have nothing in common, im a 54 year old woman. BUT I love your personality even your flaws and how excited you do get over the smallest things. You have a kindness about you and I appreciate that. Never apologize for having a bad day, bad week, bad month, bad 15 minutes !! Another reason I like watching you it feels as if your not completely fake and pretending how great life is in Tokyo. Do you boo ! BTW I seen you on TOKYO EXPLORER !!! YOU LOOKED GREAT !!! HUGS AND LOVE FROM THE USA 🇺🇸

[@itsbierce]

Yay Mikan uploaded again 💕 Thank you for making my day! I love watching your videos while eating 😄

[@olivialovegrove5949]

Hello! In the UK the driving crash courses are known as intensive courses where you can actually pass within a week! However, moving away isn't mandatory it just depends on where your nearest test centre is! Have a good day, sending love to whoever's reading :)

[@icevanilla874]

i always look forward to your videos! i love your style lately based on what ive seen on instagram. this is going to help me put together outfits so much

[@user-1luvu2m]

Mikan, you’re literally one of my most favorite KZbinrs, no matter if you have a “perfect life” or a “good life”, it doesn’t mean that you’re not allowed to feel the way you feel, you at only human and we will get these feelings, feel free to take mental breaks if you need! Take care! 💖

[@ginawilkolak7492]

Wow a two week away driving course sounds so interesting! We definitely don’t have that in the States. When my older sisters were in high school, they had an actual driving class that you took as a student in the middle of your regular school day. The school dropped that before I got to high school, though. The place I went to for driving school did two all-day long clinic classes. So that was the bulk of my learning. And then we had in-car hours with the teachers on our own time.

[@Electragirl5]

Luna looks gorgeous in that red color outfit she wore at the end of the video! She’s so sweet and lovely! And Miley is utterly CRAZY and wild! I’m not surprised she’s a voice actor she is so fun! I love love your work videos and your coworkers haha this was such a lovely video to watch!

[@bubble-1]

14:30 I have similar white shoes and I also love wearing them with black socks,, even tho I sometimes get weird gazes from ppl I don't caaree it looks so gooood

[@kkuudandere]

I love that style! If it were me, I'd be staring because I thought they were cute😆

[@sammyhazel2639]

Your coworker is so cute omg!!! She seems like a super sweet person ☺️

[@mikanmandarin]

She’s an angel!

[@xcatney]

I've been following you for so long now (probably too many years LOL) and I remember you in the smaller apartment and the fashion school, and even the time before that and I'm honestly so so happy you and Yasu are doing so well and it's been so nice to be here with you on your journey ❤️ I'm glad you're in a good place

[@ТеодораАнгелова-т9ж]

40min long video from Mikan- perfect for this evening. I watched it in bed and it was so calming. I'm sending you love from Bulgaria 💗

[@dreamer6943]

I have the floral shoes too. I really like the quality of Koi Footwear. Thanks so much for all these outfit ideas. It's lovely that you and Yasu can spend so much time together and not fight, it's really sweet, you two are such a success story 💗

[@MadeInPlanckEpoch]

Your looks are all really starting to come together! It's cool to see the quality of your outfits improve through your channel's history. Loving the recent items you've paired together!

[@yasmeenrashid4106]

I'm loving this long vlog the coziness comfort levels are off the charts and I love it. Moreeee

[@the_laird]

Ladurée (1862) was created after Marie-Antoinette was killed (1793). Macaron was apparently (historians don't all agree) bought in France by Caterina de Medici (16th century), and french added a layer between the 2 kind of biscuit (sorry my english is not that amazing). Then parisians created new macarons with different flavours. Love your vlog

[@cozy5441]

I've been looking at getting some Koi Footwear shoes for some time now and I thinks this video is my sign to buy it already

[@ailuunn]

These what I wear in a week videos are by far my favorites💞

[@Huntrry94]

Travel blogs sounds amazing!! Same thing for the the Japanese Idol day in a life!! Speaking of what jpop group idol is that???? I’d like to give them a listen!

[@antrea333]

omg i'm so glad you have the vigo platform loafers!!! I've been dying to see how they look on like a real person lol Saturday outfit was my faveeeee the layering was gorgeous omg and that customer who was dressed in kanroji style was sooooooo cute i really love vlogs like this the most!

[@smileytime]

Thank you for working for me at this time🥺🙏✨I like your Monday's outfit and Jasmine(ジャスミン)🥰🥰

[@chomihana1327]

I love your videos Mikan. Honestly you have such a sweet calming personality. I wish you all the best in life and happiness. You really deserve it. It's ok to be sad and depressed for a day. But don't make it controls you. Remember you live a good life and you have so many people who loves you, just talk to them and somehow you will feel the world is beautiful :)

[@izzykate1806]

I loved that all pink outfit SO MUCH 💕💕 I’ve been um-ing and ah-ing about buying Koi Footwear for ages because I’m so short, but I need the shoes to be comfy and I get self-conscious if the heels are too high. Will be definitely taking a look!

[@redoddfox4070]

Thank you for introducing me to koi foot wear, I just purchased some Mary Janes!! I can’t wait for them to get here

[@bbshrimp]

thanks so much for sharing this lovely long vlog! ✨ the slow zoom in on your tea date's cute pineapple rant is so good hehe! also everyone has the right to complain when they're suffering or uncomfortable even if life is generally okay. life can be perfect and mental health/brain chemistry shenanigans will just give no fucks and bust thru it anyways!

[@Chxrrikei]

Thank you Mikan for always staying strong and positive, you really make our days so much better

[@justchillgee]

The efficiency of Japan amazes again and again. Just 2 weeks for a drivers license!!!!! What a dream. Meanwhile 3months passed from my enroll in driving school and I only have driven for 1hour( 32 are mandatory so you can take the test)!!! I am hoping to finish before the end of march?

[@witchywashy6722]

Hey i wanted to warn you about giving your cats toys with fake feathers because unfortunately if they ingest one it could damage their insides and possibly need to be surgically removed. I see it too often working at a vets office and i try to warn people against buying toys with fake feathers. If you are gonna buy them supervised play only. A lot of people dont know this until their cat needs surgery or their throat gets cut up by the feathers and can't eat. They should put warnings on those toys

[@hoomancatslave1738]

well, that can kinda be said of anything for cats... supervised play only and if your cat is particularly curious or playful and is a nibbler, really making sure you are cat proofing your apartment.

[@faerizzy]

YES omg road trip vlogs!!! can’t wait !!!

[@Naughtyameliajane]

Can you please drop your salmon recipe it looks SO GOOD 💛

[@fantasticalfishlover2680]

Fridays outfit was adorable!! But honestly they all are💞 I'm just a sucker for simple designs

[@dreamercely]

Omg road trips would be amazing. I’m excited for you guys.

[@LaniASMR1]

all of these outfits are SO FREAKING CUTE!!! I love them!!

[@LaniASMR1]

also, eating at 11pm at night? I'm like in bed by then lmfao

[@zoulara1012]

Girl I relate !! Me and my partner are doing long distance again after being together for a whole year 😭 we literally did everything together and had our routine down and now I'm just like what to do 🙃. Glad it's only two weeks for you !! Also all your outfits are cute !!

[@Ren-ll6hm]

You shouldn't feel bad about feeling depressed when you have a "good life." I also have depression (MDD not BPD) and I used to feel the same way. Depression isn't just situational, it can happen at any time. In the same way you shouldn't get upset at yourself for getting a cold, you shouldn't get upset about feeling depressed. It is a lot easier said than done tho, so I wish you luck! Take a break if you need to, everything takes time 💜💜💜

[@sylviakiama]

You always wear the cutest things like 😭

[@itsbierce]

Right?!

[@irl1988]

I would love a day in the life video with an idol group, that sounds like so much fun to watch :)

[@dudalittle04]

Mikan, dear, feel free to complain about anything that’s bothering u!!! It’s literally ur channel, ur life, if we’re here, we’re here to support u ❤️

[@KarenSezawa]

Loved seeing you and Anshin together ♥

[@Circusmaid]

I love this channel. It's like the perfect combo of cuteness-cats-vlogs-and mental health. Noone else is like that! Dear Mikan, never stop being you. Love you!✨🌼💜

[@Phanthalaimon]

Ohhhh love Anshin! So cool that you met

[@cutecats532]

You don't have to apologize for how you're feeling! Or for complaining! You're allowed to feel what you feel! Even if you have it better than a lot of people you're still allowed to have bad days and feel bad and talk about it. Talking about it can actually help and even make other people who have the same problem feel better knowing they're not alone. You also don't owe anyone that if you don't want to share I just think you were being kind of hard on yourself there when it's ok. ❤

[@somethingelse4204]

I love that you talk about your life in a realistic way. You're very honest and real, and it makes your videos so much more enjoyable. Yes, I'm jealous that you get to be in Japan doing fun things with your wonderful boyfriend and cute cats, but I never feel like you're trying to paint your life as something that is perfect and unattainable. It's relateable. And we all need to get comfortable talking about mental illness because the stigma is no where near gone. Just a thought - you might try mapping your depressive episodes on a calendar over the course of a year and see what it shows you. Doesn't have to be anything in depth, maybe just put a frowny face on those days. Might give you a better idea of what is going on. (No pressure though. I'm sure you get all kinds of advice all the time.)

[@mewwitchh]

really liked this style of long vlog!

[@shlynn-k3c]

Your friend is a very fun and interesting person to be with! You're so lucky to have her as a friend! and she's too to have you!

[@user-Kellieats]

Can we just appreciate how pretty she is I mean you could rock any look

[@gloomy7567]

I love seeing dogs in Japan, I am moving there soon and I am worried about bringing my dog cause there's not a lot of content of dogs in japan 😥

[@iwonnadieuwu]

I wanna give you a virtual hug. You don't have to say sorry for what you are feeling because your feelings are valid.

[@hopemay]

I love your videos! They always help me relax!!!

[@smellydonut5088]

Your videos always cheer me up! :') I hope you feel better soon Mikan! I know depression makes life really difficult

[@fayetagen9087]

The quality of your conent is stunning 🥺🥺🥺❤️❤️❤️

[@fayetagen9087]

And I feel like you have the best relationship on ERATH.

[@cloudyrainbowcoffee]

7:00 Its very good thing when you find shoes that last the wear.. I have one pair of summer shoes as well, that have gone thru a big wear and they still look, should I say -brand new..👡

[@dorxanad1x]

Oooo!! Can you go to the most rural place in Japan(that you know of)??!!😍 Your videos are sooo soothing😩💖

[@strawberiii7731]

Love this video! Very relaxing to watch! Thank you for sharing your hard days with us too, that really inspired me to keep moving forward bc honestly I would’ve just scrapped the whole video and stayed in bed sleeping/crying all day 🥺 And I LOVED the white chunky sandals! Unfortunately they’re currently sold out of my size 😭

[@meghana586]

1)no! I don't think in my country like for normal 4 wheeler license anyone has to go to a "boarding driving school" to learn to drive.. maybe yasu is learning some heavy duty vehicle like trucks or something . For that yes there are special schools not sure if they cover boarding . 2) oh myh gosh the outfits and the shoes look so beautiful on you you are so pretty mikan 3) take care and YES WE WANT MORE ROAD TRIPS AND PLEASE PLEASE ASK PEOPLE TO FILM YOU when you are outside ✨ plwease !

[@nicoleyoshihara4011]

This video was so fun to watch! Yes love road trip vlogs, girl chats, work vlogs, Happy Sunday!🥰❤ Enjoy your life ❤ This is your time to take the good and bad as it comes. Maybe try volunteering feeding the homeless or poor? Giving back to the community in some way, Something like that could help you feel better 🤗

[@XmissXichigoX]

Proud of you girl! Being alone is not easy and you really get to know yourself💕🥰

[@Hello_addie00]

I would love to see an updated morning or night routine because I am addicted to those things 😆

[@creepycrawlie]

[@rorygilmore7423]

[@yona9678]

41 Minutes of Mikan?! Amazing

[@TheOneWifNoUsername]

I have four pairs of shoes by Koi Footwear. I literally just bought another pair this week. I’m so happy with them. I got them a few days ago and I love it. I’ve had some of my shoes for like two years now. So good and comfy. I generally wish to buy more in the future but I’m a hoe for shoes and have like 30+ pairs of shoes from various places like Koi, YRU, ETC. So many places. I love a good chunky shoe. I have so many chunky shoes. Most 2-5 inches tall.

[@bubble-1]

it's so sweet how much you miss yasu ngl I want this kind of relationship too when you can spend 24/7 time together and not get sick of each other (even tho I'm also an introvert)

[@AikoTachibana]

Your posts makes my day better!

[@samanderson2447]

Hell yeah Mikan I love your videos❤ thank you for the serotonin😊☀️

[@user-Kellieats]

You always eat the most delicious looking foods I'm so jelly!!

[@TheOneWifNoUsername]

Omfg Laduree. I’ve been to their location in Vancouver BC. It’s so fancy. I wish I had eaten there but I didnt know if their stuff was gluten free. Turns out it was? I missed the hell out. Next time I go there I’m gonna try their stuff. Hopefully I can visit Canada again soon.

[@yaniinacopdrops3993]

I would totally love a Roadtrip video ♥.♥ and your week wasn´t boring, i´m enoying your videos so much! and i love your outfits =)

[@msjossi1035]

In Sweden there are also 2 week courses where you take your test at the end of the two weeks. For most you have to pay for your own food and accommodation though.

[@kkuriaa8979]

I love these vids I can watch them in the background and enjoy listening to them so fun!

[@AvocadoToast06]

Your life and intros are so aesthetic 😭💖

I was watching your video from 2018 playlist..... YOUR ACCENT HAS CHANGED NOW! BTW you're so cute ❤️

[@udonotknowme1]

Hi Mikan, maybe you can find out about premenstrual depressive disorder (PMDD). I’m not sure if that’s what you’re going through (I’m not sure for myself either). I feel depressed for half of most months.

[@mikanmandarin]

I don’t have periods love I have bipolar!
