Los Angeles heat isn’t the same as Japan heat but I agree it’s been too hot lately 🥵 I keep a fan at my desk with the AC on while wearing a sweater 🤣 The desk looks great! 👌 Personally I don’t enjoy thrifting because of the effort to find something good. I don’t have any patience for that 😂 I’ve yet to play Genshin. I refuse to play it on the iPad 😭
I'm not very thrifty, unless I have a specific project or costume in mind. I do love going to thrift stores for zombie outfits because I rough them up and paint them/ age them.
Cool to see Miffy merch in other countries, because Miffy is Dutch (and I'm Dutch). It is called "Nijntje" in Dutch, "ij" is pronounced a little bit similar to the i in "hi", and "tje" like "ch" (chips) "uh".
Yeah when it comes to thrifting in japan a lot of places are more expensive then in usa. In fuchinobe and machida areas of Tokyo for the university I studied abroad at I was lucky had a few pretty good priced places to thrift. So, I would see if those in those area are still good. I love your videos :)
omg so many Cardcaptor Sakura things 😍 One Christmas my parents found Cardcaptor Sakura keychains for me. I still have two intact (Kero and Meiling), and I think I still have Sakura minus the very tip of her scepter, but Syaoran Li literally lost his head. (I had them both on a sports bag I used for karate class.) Those things are so breakable!
omggg U PUT ME IN THE VLOG 🥹 actually i don’t thrift either, i wish i was did but i think i mistook it for what thrifting is in america! didn’t know it’s so expensive oops 😂 i hope u had fun anyways~
I didn't know Miffy (or as we call her Nijntje in the Benelux!) was such a thing in Japan. That's so interesting to see. I grew up with the tv show as a child!
It is soooo hot! I live in Wisconsin, USA, so I am not used to very extreme heat waves lol 😆 But I can’t even imagine Japan right now 🥵 Thank you for showing us this video!! I love all the super cute Sanrio stuff you saw. I’m not a particular fan of Sanrio, but you make it look so appealing, like now I REALLY WANT some merch! See you soon 😊
Exactly, for real thrifting like goodwill you'll find them at MODE OFF in Ueno and Shimokitazawa - I found a looot of cheap stuff for 300-500 yen there and also DON DON DOWN in Shibuya and Suginami for instance. Just look those shop names and you'll find a bunch of different locations for cheap clothes :)
I don't know if the Kero-chan keychain in the Kiddy Land store is actually a passholder, but I want that because it is so cute. I also want your Cardcaptor Sakura bag. 😆
I’ve never been to Shimokitazawa, in fact I’ve never been to Japan 😂 I hope to go some day and I’ll visit because it looks like I’d enjoy the vibes too ❤️ Also, I live in Los Angeles and it’s TOO hot for me. Once it hits 70 I’m out. I can’t!
omg is the kero-chan from the sanrio x ccs gacha? ive seen a few up here in hokkaido, i tried 3 times but i ended up getting 1 sakura and 2 cinnamorolls ;-; after that i gave up bc i didnt want another repeat
I love how unique the style of those shops in Shimokitazawa look. (Let's be honest most non chain shops look unique in Japan lol). At this point I am wondering if Genshin will sponsor you one day x)?!
@allison May I ask a question, first of all it sucks because I'm a beginner and I want to learn Japanese too, I don't know what to do first, it's supposed to be hiragana or kanji, can you write in the comment all the Japanese words that are different, pretending to be hiragana, kanji, meaning and what order is that? I don't know what I know, I think there is a furigana, pls im begging you! I really need it and I haven't started 😭😭😭😢 pls respond if there is anything I'm waiting here 😫😭😭
Very nice vlog and I love your new desk. It looks really good and so much more space 😍 I have a pretty small desk right now, but a bigger one would fit. So I try to make the most out of it. I’m thinking of getting a new monitor stand bc the one I currently have takes too much precious space. We’ll see. Btw thrifting in Germany isn’t that much fun. It’s mostly stuff that’s in not so good shape anymore and it’s really hard to find something good. I’m not a huge fan and I get the impression that it isn’t as common as it used to be a few years ago anymore.
Aw what a bummer that thrifting isn't super fruitful in Japan like it is here in the US! Haha Loved this video because I always wondered what it's like :) Thank you for sharing your experience! Have some well deserved Genshin time!

@@AllisoninTokyo you actually vlogged so much more than i realised irl btw i am so impressed
Could you tell temperature also in Celsius for your non-US peeps? I'm presuming Japan does use Celsius
I didn't know Miffy (or as we call her Nijntje in the Benelux!) was such a thing in Japan. That's so interesting to see. I grew up with the tv show as a child!
yes miffy is super popular here!!! not sure why exactly 😂😂
Pretty in Picnic 🙃🥰

that’s japans specialty, making all these useless things look so appealing 😂😂
let me glue that jewel back on lol
i think maybe the thrift shops are actually more like vintage shops, which is a little different and that's why they're so much more expensive

Im planning on going to Japan by next year and I’m so excited it’s happening! But I’m nervous I don’t know any of the language hahaha
don’t worry! tokyo is pretty english friendly 💪

I like to sew, upcycle and thrift. I'm a simple girl, I see "thrift" I click
Omg that desk is PERFECT and I've been searching for one like this!! Where did you find it? 😮
thanks!! i got it on rakuten, i’ll share it on my studygram sometime this week since i dont have the link right now 😅
@@AllisoninTokyo Thank you! I'll keep an eye out for it ☺️

yeah i read thrifting is on a downward trend since its loaded with fast fashion now 😖 makes sense but kinda sad

thank you 😮💨 i wish it was easier here to thrift or id do it more 🥲
真棒，继续加油。
💚👍
If I ever moved to japan my place would be filled with nothing but Ultraman, Kamen Rider and Super Sentai stuff lol
When your hair is down, you remind me of a Japanese Water Ghost
I wonder how hard it is for a foreigner to rent one of those little boxes and sell handmade crafts🤔
