I’m convinced Japan feels like stepping into a Studio Ghibli movie with all the bright lights and food and I will cry if I don’t get to experience it at least once in my life
Mai i love your attitude towards life. If it were me, my luggage being delayed would of ruined my mood/vibe. I would be so stressed/upset thinking about the steps id need to take in order to get it back but you are like "maybe it was a blessing" ughhh i love that! You deserve everything you have and more! 💚
Hello Mai !!! I'm answering why there's like A BUNCH of men on the street! It's part of the Japanese culture. Business men tend to go to these Izakaya to take a drink. It's just part of their culture. If they go home early that kinda means that they are not busy "socializing" with colleagues or they are not successful at work. ( This is what i heard from a Japanese friend so i might be wrong)
I wanna add that Japan is still very "gender-role" heavy. So the reason why lots of men are able to hangout late at night is because their wives are probably taking care of children at home. Of course not all men/women live like this, but that's just how Japanese society is. So bosses (who are usually men) assume it's fine to take their subordinates for dinner/drinks late at night after work. And as a result, men who can get rid of care responsibilities at home end up on the streets at night, while women tend to refuse those socialising events and go home to handle chores/child rearing. (This is coming from a fellow Japanese woman living in Japan for 20+ years)
@@kjming7077i think it’s changing in recent years. The pressure is becoming less stressful compared to 20 years ago. First of all people aren’t having as much children as before so those women who would be child rearing are instead pursuing careers. Secondly some companies are more understanding of people who don’t drink alcohol. There are also people who like drinking and are not being forced
@@catmerchant8699 Yea, like any other country/society, things are changing - But the reality remains that it is still a pretty conservative country (especially if you look at the policies of the leading party). I agree companies are changing their stances on drinking, as they're afraid of being accused of "harrassment", but still very low percentages of female bosses/managers
honestly japan is the best place for solo travel! you build so much trust with yourself and can enjoy your time alone, or if you like meeting people- it’s so easy make friends there if you’re open!(: i hope you had so much fun girly! can’t wait for the next videos 🥰🫶🏼
Your videos motivate me to work harder, so I can will be able to travel and just be able to afford some of the things that I want to have in life. Thank you Mai for taking us with you to this journey, I honestly felt like I was there with you every step of the way. Sending you loads of hugs
i love how observant mai is towards the small things in life❤ she so positive and her attitude towards life and the small things in life. this makes me realise how she isn't caught up in 'fame' like others on social media.
oh mai you are really calm in real life man ,i love your calm energy it is very relaxing , i really love your content ,i never went to japan but excited to see it from your lence
I went to Japan and Korea and I lovvvved how safe I felt walking around as a girl at night with my friend and not feeling like I would get kidnapped or killed 🤍 literally such a breath of fresh air being there 👏🏾 and the convenience was endless 🫶🏾
I love you. I want to cry tears of joy watching you. You are so inspiring. You bring me back to this cozy feeling every time I watch you. You are an amazing person. You deserve everything good and special and sparkly and colorful. Thank you for being you. 💕
Mai, you’re such an amazing women. One regret in my life I was always too scared to travel by myself. Always dreamed of it, still do but still too scared. But you’re amazing. Be proud girl, such a role model to our youth.
ı wasn't watching Mai's videos for a while and I started watching again a couple days ago. And I realized how much Mai motivates me. I'm back to journaling, vision boarding, affirmations... Mai has always been a source of motivation for me. And I'm soooo happy for you. I love seeing you happy. thank you bestie xxxxxxo
I’m binge watching your old videos and little Mai is so fun 😄🫶🏾 I think the first/oldest video I’ve seen of yours was two apartments ago and idk why I’m only watching the older videos now but I love them 😂👏🏾 even with the budget I quality, your personality was made for this 🤍😄 I’m currently watching you cleaning your room for inspiration as I clean mine 😅
Can I just say how do you look absolutely drop dead gorgeous all the time?? Like I’ve watched so many of your vids from years ago until now and you look stunning, like how do you get ready and shit and look amazing?
damn i wasn’t expecting that… we missed you soo much mai!!! i’m so happy that the alchemai collection is finally out so now the japan content is unfolding hehehehe!! it’s insane to see all the behind the scenes and i love the creative shots! i am so excited for more japan vlogs🥰❤️
Currently in the hospital with pneumonia (I’m gonna be fine it just sucks) and there’s something so comforting and soothing about this vlog, it made me forget I was sick
I miss mai traveling so much, this is giving nyc vibes and I went to nyc alone on my 21st bday cause I always dreamed to but mai n emma made it so real and honest that it seemed possible to do alone. I went their and the day I landed first time in nyc mai had her first pop up in nyc (September) unfortunately i couldn't step out of JFK but I knowing the fact that if she can do it being the same age so can I, when I finally made it to nyc in April I went to every place she recommend it was dream come true from cafe grumpy to Central Park reading atomic habits. I had never even slept alone in India to going on a solo trip to NYC and living in states for a year. Mai you are an inspiration that if you put your mind to it you can really do anything, even alone
I love all of your videos they make me feel like we are best friends on facetime also I love that you express yourself and don't care what anybody thinks I love when you post
OMG IM SOOOOOOO HAPPY U POSTED AGAIN GIRL I LIT LIVE FOR U AND ITS MY FIRST TIME COMMENTING BC I DISCOVERED U FROM MY LIVING ROOM TV😭😭 SO YES BUT NOW IM SO HAPPY TO WATCH U ON MY PHONE AND SINCE SCHOOL IS OVER ( when there is school I don’t have yt so I watched u from my living room to😭)
You got on the right train to your capsule hotel! I commute to work everyday on the exact same train. The reserved seat you were looking for is actually on the same train just few car boxes apart. Happy to see you enjoy your time here in Japan! 🥹
I love how she can just do this trips alone. I swear I would be scared af going to all this places I don’t know about it’s crazy the confidence and no fear love you Mai 💖 love your videos they make me relax at my house.
As somone from a lower income household as a teen this is so inspiring, I’ve never been on a vacation or plane before but u bet once I work my way up like u I want to travel everywhere!
Mai is living out my childhood dreams. All the videos she has made are stuff I’d always watch as a kid and now ofc bc im subscribed, but oh my Gosh Mai! You’re everything little me and me now would wanna watch! You’re amazing!!!🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
thank you for taking the time to explain the small details that could really help someone traveling there! much appreciated 🤩 Japan is a must!! i gotta go 🫶🏻
hi mai i just want to say how much you inspire me. i now want to go to fiji ,bali and japan. im just a 12 year old girl and i really want to be like you. love you
Firstly, loved the video. But I know Mai says all the time to give her more than that in the comments lol. Is it just me or do we also miss the vibe Mai gave wayyyyy back in the first apartment, like the aesthetics of the videos and all? I know it wasn't too far long ago that Mai uploaded a video and it got a lot of feedback that she even posted it to one of her instagram accounts saying what was up with the sudden feedback? I personally think it's because I was reminded of the old apartment videos which is what she went viral for (The Cassie video), and how I found her. Of course, change is not without growth, as well as just simply living and I'm so proud of Mai for how far she's come, I've been watching for around 2 years and I'm excited everytime she uploads. But yeah, it was just a thought I've been having for a while, love you Mai!
It's the emotions of being impressed with the flight, to the ups and downs with the food, only to land and not have your luggage.😭 Also I loved seeing the process of how the thumbnail was put together. Damn I wasn't expecting that...
Damn I wasn’t expecting that… I’m also going to Japan for vacation soon and your whole reaction to landing and reaction to the streets is hyping me up. 😭❤️
I cant wait for the japan vlogs, I feel like there its more cleaner than here in the U.S. 😅 I love way you been editing your vlogs lately its giving very wholesome vibes 💞
MAIIII bruv, u slay too much and ur content SLAPZZZZZ... also, luv ur line of clothing!! Hot take but i really think u should make longer vids and just not edit it bc ik thats a lot of work. Maybe u could make like a vlog channel or sum.. so proud of u!!❤❤
ahhh the japan vlogs are coming out hehe i missed you all
I missed you to Mai, I'm so excited!!!😊
we missed u toooo
MAI I LOVE YOU YOUR MY FAVORITE RUclipsR
MISSED YOU TOO MAI
missed you toooo🥹🥹
I love the ‘I’ll figure it out’ mentality it’s such a great thing to have bc you can really enjoy life to the fullest with it
Yes and it allows her to be more present than worrying about the future.
Thats what happens when you have the money to do it 😅
I’m convinced Japan feels like stepping into a Studio Ghibli movie with all the bright lights and food and I will cry if I don’t get to experience it at least once in my life
This is so nostalgic of the videos of people going to Japan I used to watch in like 2017-2019 I love
I love how she wasn't mean to the stewardess and said thank you even though she said hell no to herself, she has such a good attitude.
Mai i love your attitude towards life. If it were me, my luggage being delayed would of ruined my mood/vibe.

THE THUMBNAIL IS KINDA COOL
Yesss
most people staying at japanese capsule hotels use the exact same thumbnail search it up
@@mandylin3783 theres not many other ways to capture the concept of a capsule hotel for a thumbnail tho lmao
@@AnaOhKay yeah but you shouldnt say it's cool when the original creator made this and doesn't even get credit
