I dreamed of being an idol for about three years. But I thought it would be impossible as foreginer. ... Now I know it's not impossible for a foreginer but just for me. ^^;
Love the fact that they recruited a non-asian gaijin in an idol group. Happy to see Japan is leaning more and more to the international side! :D She's also really cute~ ♥
Rachel & Jun i notice this more often than i want to: people who see me as a roasted chicken, or sometimes they view others as cakes, muffins, bags of sugar... the end is near.
Subash Hajowary yeah but being a kpop idol is the same as being a slave, And they also have to starve themselves, I actually want to be a jpop idol :-)
That's so insane that the agency found her just through the internet! I'm so jealous of Tia, it was always my dream to be a singer in Japan AvA Good luck Tia! It's a really big step to see someone like Tia in an idol group, and you're so lucky to be a part of that!
Mimei's sweater keeps redirecting my eyes away from the screen. To the right. I even tried covering her with my right hand, but it, too, got pushed away from the screen. To the right. Then I resized my window so that only Tia was visible, but it resized itself. To the right. I was left with the impression that something's wrong :-/
I actually do kind of want to be an idol, but I hardly know a sentence or two in Japanese and I feel like I'm going to be too old by the time I'll be ready to or am able to go to Japan. But it's nice to hear Tia's story owo She's very nice and very pretty from what I've seen between your videos and Duncan's. I don't think I follow her idol group, but I'm definitely going to have to check them out~
It's so interesting to hear different peoples stories on what they do in Japan and how they got there! Lately I've been getting back into Idols, they are all so cute!!
I want to start a jpop group, does anybody have advice on what concept I should go with? I'm a girl but I'm like the border line of girly and tomboy so I'm stumped XD
아미방탄 I’m thinking of the same thing too. I suggest you go with a badass concept 😂 it has the coolness of being a tomboy and you can also incorporate a little godliness into your outfits. Good luck with ur group 🤔
The awkward thing is...all this time I thought Tia was Japenese and only spoke Japenese up until this video. I didn't know she was American and learned Japenese, lol.
Japan agency is actually not that stiff as Kpop agency. so you can be an idol there. the fact is there's a lot of Jpop idol agency hire a lot of foreigner too such as Avex Group
this video was uploaded while i was in a lesson so i couldnt watch it, and i got home from a kind of rubbish day and was like "oh my gosh mimei uploaded!!" you always make me soso happy ee thank you so much!! hugs from England ^.^
Hi I found your Chanel today and I really like it.. You seem like such a sweet person and your boyfriend videos are absolutely so cute:) I don't find a lot of relatable Chanel's on RUclips anymore, and it may not seem like I have anything in common with you as I am single and in AZ, but you can do a very entertaining and actually informative video and not mention your makeup or if you didn't have time to look perfect or anything that is not even noticed by a viewer. I don't know if you have ever watched Emma Blackery, but she mentions in multiple videos of the lack of good female content online. So enough of my blabbering, I think you and your boyfriend are adorable together and you really love spending time with each other.. And your hair is really cool:) have a good one
I had hoped you would've asked some more difficult questions about the industry. It's a common known fact that parts of the industry is absolutely horrible for the girls. I hope Tia isn't experiencing much of that, but from this interview it still seems like it's really hard on her.
I've never herd of P.IDL before I saw theses videos you and Duncan have posted with Tia in it. Is P.IDL and upcoming idol group, or have they been around for awhile?
Mimei how do you deal with the smaller living spaces? Some of the smaller living spaces look lile theyd be hell to me at times. Im 21 and have been studying Japanese for 4 years. I need to decide whether to spend the next couple years finishing up a BA so i can teach in Japan, or throwing myself into nursing school after some prereqs :/. I have no idea what to do.
Nāmaka Lis Are you eligible for a working holiday visa? If so then maybe it's worth it to take a year off to work here, experience the culture, and decide what course of study you want to commit to :) I don't mind small living spaces, I've always liked small spaces, the only really annoying thing is how difficult it is to film vids.
I've always wanted to go into modeling or being an artist in Japan, solo or idol. But it's impossible for me, I'm 5'1" so no modeling... and my Japanese is only intermediate so guess goodbye to idol lol. sad life
I could never become a Japanese idol because I'm not very good at dancing. I'm self-studying Japanese right now to be able to go to Japan without much of a language barrier.
Me too but check out saarah from bananalemon, her interview. She's pretty cury, but that isn't the same a s being fat or plum, so keeping a healthy weight is good
Sashimi 4 Breakfast Basically in a girl group like AKB48, the girls are called "idols" (boy groups like Arashi or SMAP are too!) Here are some examples :D P.IDL: ruclips.net/video/VdyPp9q2GT0/видео.html Momoirocloverz: ruclips.net/video/VQ1iy-8JAnQ/видео.html Morning Musume: ruclips.net/video/-3RyqCAJkRU/видео.html AKB48: ruclips.net/video/lkHlnWFnA0c/видео.html (lots of lingerie so i'mma say nsfw XD;;)
rsquaredpiful There are a lot of big similarities but I'd say the training is pretty different, from what I've read & heard. Even though some places like Johnny's train kids from a young age it's not as hardcore as Korea and looks aren't as important (although that varies from company to company in Korea, so!). You also only rarely see the idols having any creative input in the music or concepts (unlike places like YG in Korea). The music, costumes, lyrical content, choreography & music videos are pretty different too.
I dreamed of being an idol for about three years. But I thought it would be impossible as foreginer.
... Now I know it's not impossible for a foreginer but just for me. ^^;
Did u become idol?
Ikr lmfao
Are you an idol after 7 years lol
Love the fact that they recruited a non-asian gaijin in an idol group. Happy to see Japan is leaning more and more to the international side! :D She's also really cute~ ♥
kazuki | カズキ i think looking euroasian helps allot. if she looked more western like a Victoria secret model it would be harder to blend into the group
Ruslana Perrin she doesn't look that asian to me tho
Yay! This is very interesting :) I am coming to the Japanese entertainment industry next year, thank you for the luck!
How did it go?
She's living the dream I want to reach someday.
I'm soooo thankful that you made this!
ashleycloud31
ahh, make sure it is not an illusion,eh?
Working on it! I'm just praying that it goes well~
Tia's so sweet! :D
Just try to be Kawaii lol

Tia is so adorable! Being an idol in Japan must be so amazing, I'm very jealous ♥ ♥
Beffinee which is the reason I wanna be an idol
Well you can be a kpop idol too

Good luck Tia! It's a really big step to see someone like Tia in an idol group, and you're so lucky to be a part of that!
I'm thinking of doing modeling in Japan when I'm older and have enough money to travel there. I already model where I currently live.
did you ever achieve this dream?

You are quite possibly the most amazing person in the world Mimei

I liked your video😃
What do you think is the hardest point living in Japan?
I've always wanted to go into modeling or being an artist in Japan, solo or idol. But it's impossible for me, I'm 5'1" so no modeling... and my Japanese is only intermediate so guess goodbye to idol lol. sad life
Since she's an idol, does she have a dating ban? I wish Mimei would have asked her that and how she felt about it.
I wish I could have mimei's spirt she's just so happy 😂
I could never become a Japanese idol because I'm not very good at dancing. I'm self-studying Japanese right now to be able to go to Japan without much of a language barrier.
I feel like I can’t because I’m too curvy ^^;

u guys look really pretty ♥ ♥

What is an idol in japan exactly?
Sashimi 4 Breakfast Basically in a girl group like AKB48, the girls are called "idols" (boy groups like Arashi or SMAP are too!)
Here are some examples :D
P.IDL: ruclips.net/video/VdyPp9q2GT0/видео.html
Momoirocloverz: ruclips.net/video/VQ1iy-8JAnQ/видео.html
Morning Musume: ruclips.net/video/-3RyqCAJkRU/видео.html
AKB48: ruclips.net/video/lkHlnWFnA0c/видео.html (lots of lingerie so i'mma say nsfw XD;;)
Oh! Okay I see now! cool cool cool :)
可愛い(*´▽`*)
Mimei is my idol. :)
wAaIt mimei where are you from??? I like your accent but I can't work out what country it's from uwu
What agency were you with? I'm a model as well, might be going out to Tokyo myself in a few months.
2歳の頃までフィリピンに居ました🙈
It’s sad she got really chubby and isn’t in the group anymore.
What is her insta or twitter?
Was she born and grown up in Canada? Is she half Japanese and Canadian?? Her Japanese is very well so I wonder....:D
Ayakiy0505 She learnt it for 9 years and shes full Canadian from as far sa I know ~
Ayakiy0505 she does look eurasian (japan mixed with Canadian)
+TheJennRogue eurasian sounds like europe mixed with Asian
Canada is not a race, just a country lol. She's white lol
Are you Australian??? P.s I LOVE U!
私はあなたの髪を愛して!私は暗く、ライトグリーン大好き!
Which entertainment company is it?
couldn't find her in the p.idl group... canyone know how to find her?
hey, What is it like for visas to be an idol?
I'm 11 same I learned Japanese
She's Misa Amane...
Is being an idol in Japan very different from being an idol in Korea?

The music, costumes, lyrical content, choreography & music videos are pretty different too.
Is she still a member?
What's a idol?
Is jpop and kpop same??
Habit for boys 😊
1st learn Japanese
Me: Uhh yeah maybe I should be a model or a kpop idol also do they teach you Japanese or you have to learn Japanese by yourself?
you have to learn it by yourself ^^
❤️😩😭🎉
ママというネタを使うとはwwwちょっとうれしいwww
