Studying at a fashion college in japan is goals omg
Congratulations Mikan ❤️🎉 This may sound weird because you're older than me but you've grown soooo much from knowing 0 Japanese to going into your dream college - it's honestly amazing. You're such a role model to me and I hope to me as successful as you. Wishing you the best of luck with your studies!! 🤗❤️❤️
Yes, she's such a role model! 💗
Mikan! Congratulations!!!!!🎊🎉 I am so happy to see you go and make your dreams come true 💕✨
Same!!😆😆😆😆
Congratulations!! 💖🎉💐💖 that is super exciting! What a dream come true 😍
You did N2 test? Your japanese must be pretty good then. I wouldnt have thought that since we hardly see you speak japanese! You should speak it more often and maybe even give us some lessons :)
She only speaks English on camera
Passing the N2 doesn't mean you can speak japanese well. N2 doesn't test speaking or writing ability. It's just listening + reading.
Ash that’s not true when going to colleges in Japan your JLPT test are mostly for speaking, listening, and writing. That way if you have a teacher in Japan, you can 1) reply and ask questions, 2) understand lessons in class, and 3) you have legible handwriting that way should the need arise, your writing will be easy to read.
Oh my gosh, I literally screamed at my screen seeing the title to this video. Okay so I'm mostly a quiet watcher but this deserves one hella big congratulations!!! 🎉🙌 I'm so so happy for you!
Content I'm looking forward to is the language school one, not gonna lie haha. I may be starting one in Japan this October and I'm super nervous about it all. Just writing about it here makes me freak out a bit 😂
Eleuthera Did it go well? :)
Your maturity throughout all of this is so amazing! Especially considering you're a few years younger than me, really inspiring 😊 congratulations!!! It sounds really really exciting, best of luck~~
"it's like the Bratz innit" nostalgia. What happened to the franchise?? 😂
Congratulations! This video is so inspiring to me because in my country going to 大学 is like the only option after graduating from high school. You showed me that there are so many ways to live and don’t need to rush. I’m going to studying a English-taught course at a university in Japan in April and I’m so nervous! I choose that school because I want to go to Japan but I don’t speak Japanese yet and it’s one of the top two uni in Japan. And because English-taught majors are limited so I’m not going to study the major I want the most(related though), but considering all the pros and cons I do not regret my decision. I’ll work hard and hope to study the major I want in 大学院
Out of curiosity, do you mind stating which university it was? Totally understandable if you don't! I'm just wondering because I've been looking into possibly going that route in the future as well, and I'm finding it difficult to find universities to consider, and consensus regarding reputation.
I keep hearing that getting a degree in Japan isn't as great or held in as high of a regard, comparative to schools in the US/UK/AUS/CAN/etc. Which is stressful because universities in these countries are SO expensive, I'd rather not go hundreds of thousands in debt for a degree. Japan's tuition costs are so much more reasonable, with the added benefit of immersing yourself in their culture.
I'm so torn about what I want to do, haha. Sorry for such a long rant!
Shalee Michelle Haha is okay, sorry I don’t want to say the name of the school, but I want to share with you my process of application. First I go to the school’s website which I heard had a good reputation, and see if there’s a English program, and if there are what majors are they. Most school have there website in English, but most time the English version is less informative than Japanese version so it might be a bit hard to find what you need(I’m Chinese so I can understand a large part of written Japanese because they use Chinese characters in Japanese)
And about the school, the top two in Japan rank about 12th and 28th in worldwide universities rank, and I think the top 10 universities all have a good reputation in Japan, but most foreigners only heard of Tokyo university though, may not even heard of Kyoto University(second best) although it has more noble prize winners.
I understand what you said about the money, the public universities is not expensive, and may offer a lot of scholarships to foreigners. But private schools are very expensive and although famous I heard that their reputation in Japan is not has good.
When you find the school you want to go, just follow the application process on their website, it’s clearly written. I hope this can help you a bit😊
@@user-vf7be9nx3i Totally understandable about not wanting to say the name of the school, no worries! Safety and privacy comes first and foremost. However, I do appreciate you sharing the process with me! I'm from the states so I don't understand Japanese or Kanji whatsoever, but I do plan on attending a language school for 1-2 years first and foremost, so I have a long time to consider and research universities.
I just feel like there's no such thing as being too prepared or well researched, if that makes sense? But hopefully once I'm more proficient in the language, I'll have better luck finding information. Thank you again for the help, I really appreciate it!
Shalee Michelle you’re welcomed! It would much easier if you go to the language school in Japan, I think they can provide all the information. Good luck!
Grace Wong University of Tokyo is ranked 23rd worldwide, National University of Singapore is the top University in the Asia pacific and it’s ranked 22nd
Wow, less than 1 year and a half studying Japanese and you are at N2 level? That language school sounds awesome! I'm looking for your language school video right now ❤️
24:14 warmed my heart since the drop of your own clothing line! congratulations, you got there!!!
Omg!!! Congratulations!! This is just fantastic news!!! I’m so glad everything is working out and I’m so excited for you!!! You have a wonderful dream and such great plans!! I’ll be cheering you on from way over here in the US! Go Mikan!!!!
Congratulations 🎊
Honestly you dont need to worry about the fist projects you gonna sew/present... Most stuff likes blouses and so on actually pretty easy to make and to learn
U go girl 💪
Awww thank you for the reassurance!!! 😂 I really hope so!!
CONGRATULATIONS BABY GIRL IM SO HAPPY FOR YOU
can u pls do a grwm in japanese?💞 i have been following u for a while and it would be interesting to see ur japanese growth!!
coming back 4 years later after you've started your brand makes me proud of how far you've come! congrats
You should make more harajuku shopping video or japan shopping haul 😊😊
Congrats!! I'm glad you got to do what you're passionate about, I don't know yet but I hope I'll find it soon! :D
WOW! I'm so happy for you! ^^ Years ago I had a fleeting dream to attend Bunka... it's still a dream.
CONGRATULATIONS MIKAN!!! I’m so incredibly happy for you!!😝😜
Shy shy shy Sana once 🍭
Chai Coca hallow fellow once! 🍭
Me 2🍭
Watching this after ordering from your shop! I'm so proud of you!!
wow congrats!! you are such a hard worker and you have a good head on your shoulders, you're like a breath of fresh air on youtube to be honest haha. i'm so happy to have watched you come this far in such a small time span. best of luck, you deserve it all!!
You best believe I watched this vid in 3 diff browsers so you can get that ad money for school ❣️Congrats on getting into fashion school and good luck girly!! You got this! 💕 Also, have you thought about starting a Patreon even for small little rewards? You could do fun things for Patreons like live streaming while you're sewing for school so you get company and school work done and then we can also support you another way for school! Simple easy things that won't stress you out while being bogged down with school work!
LMAOOO you’re so sweet 😂 honestly I just can’t think of enough rewards to feel like Patreon is really worth doing! I’d feel like I’m scamming you guys 😂
みかんMikan please think about it. We love you and care for you. We want to watch your future blooming with you. Thats the least we can do for all the efforts you put ❤️
@@mikanmandarin ahh i feel ya xD but reallllly! do think about it! i'm sure we could all brainstorm easy peasy rewards that will be fun and productive and stress free \o/
Congratulations Mikan 🥰 I went to Fashion school myself and it’s very hard but you are a very hardworking girl so you’ll be fine. My school was a “sister” school to Bunka or Sugino or Atomi and we were supposed to be visiting but I ended up not going 💔
yes yes yes! i’m applying to drama schools in the near future and it makes me very happy to hear of another person pursuing their passion in the arts!
Girl you are truly just LIVING YOUR BEST LIFE. What an inspirational and fun journey its been seeing how you've evolved into your Japanese dream life. Also big shout out to being a foreigner who was actually able to integrate into society beyond just an exchange-student-english-teacher, it's soooo hard to do and I don't know if all your viewers realize that. BIG CONGRATS!
I’m really curious what your answer for the “why did you choose the outfit you’re wearing today?” was 🤔
Congrats! You're going to learn so much!
I feel like a "beginner's sewing series" would be nice, it would be good practice outside of school and you could even get tips and tricks from viewers.
I'm so happy and excited for you! What a perfectly fitting subject for you to study. You're such a hard worker and I'm so excited to see where you end up in a few years from now. Congratulations!!
This is so inspiring! Please update on your feelings and experiences while you are studying!! I am studying nursing in a Chinese university, all in Chinese, so I know it can be really hard in the beginning. I couldn't understand anything my first class 😰 But it gets alot better, and you will feel like the ANYTHING is possible. And it helps knowing that the school doesn't want to fail you, they will want to help you pass all your courses. I am looking forward to your updates😬😬😬
I don’t even know you and I’m so proud of you! What a weird feeling but congratulations! I hope you have such a good time and learn so much!
the future is here! She does start her own brand ✨
My fave RUclipsr! Congratulations Mikan, I am so happy and excited for you!
I’ve always wanted to live in Japan, but finding your channel one night thinking I’d never get there turned into me being absolutely inspired to actually get out there and start my journey to moving to Tokyo! You made my dream possible to achieve in my mind, and I thank you so much. I’m currently working on my visa as we speak! Love you ❤️ Hope to join you soon!
You're living my dream life. Im at the point in your life where you worked for three years to save money (ive been working for 2 years, plan on trying to go to japan in 2020 or 2021)
OMGGG I had actually asked you about this and lol you did it i'm so thankful for this video !!!! It's my dream to get into a fashion college in japan especially BUNKA 😭😭💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Aaah congrats!!! The part about not thinking too much about the future is so relatable omg. I'm applying to Japanese Studies at my local university at the moment. It's only a year or so ago I found out that that was the one thing I actually wanted to study, compared to most other things. But to the society I live in and even to my fellow stressed youths, what seems to be important and talked about a lot is what someone will use their education for. "What sort of job can you use that for? How much can you earn with that?" etc.
Even when deciding what sort of high school to go to, it's something I've never really wanted to think too much about, because I feel that all that does is give me unnecessary stress and anxiety. I'm still nervous about the future and potential failures/consequences, of course, but I don't want to choose my education based on a "planned future", that most likely won't end up as I anticipate it to, anyway. I just want to LEARN stuff for the sake of it and I don't want to let other people's worries get to me.
That being said, you really inspire me to consider something like fashion school. If I get into my desired course, I'm hoping it will help me find my next path, just like you've found fashion school
So happy for you mikan!
AAAHHHHHH I CANT WAIT FOR YOU!!!! I am a fresh man and I plan to be a forensic scientists for the Japanese police force and I'm going to Japan for a graduation gift!
Congratuations!
I would love to see 50 Facts About You ♥️
Yess me too ^0^
I’m curious, what do ppl say about your accent when speaking Japanese? Can they tell where you’re from? Is there one language to learn that will work throughout the entire country?
You’ve made a good plan. Ppl will always need healthcare aaaannnd fashion! (Not joking) Fashion is always looking for the next big thing and has several sub sets so it will not become monotonous.
Food for thought-consider “Do’s and Dont’s” to name your brand with 2 subcategories. Subcategory Do’s for conservative and sub category Dont’s for club wear. My kids haven’t gone into fashion, they’ve chosen science and business, so I bequeath my idea to you.
Congrats on another milestone 👩🏫
Hahahaha thank you for your idea 😂 so sweet of you to go out of your way for me!
I love seeing people talking about what they're truly passionate about. You can see in her eyes how genuinely happy and exited she is. Congratulations and I can't wait to watch you succeed ✨
Ah also when you mentioned the shitty taxi service job, I remember one of my first posts I saw from you on Instagram was how an angry lady had thrown her milkshake or something at you. Look at where you are now! Ah, I don't even know you personally and I feel so proud of you!
LMAOOO IT WAS RAMEN 😂 THAT WAS THE WORST
@@mikanmandarin Lol what the hell that's so weirdddd!!!
@@mikanmandarin lol that would suuuuuck!
Congratulations!!!! Your little speech at the end about being so excited and happy to study made my heart warm, and reminded me how grateful I am to study in a country where I don't have to pay for university until much later!!
おめでとう! You are an inspiration. Thank you for taking your time to make videos. I wish all fashion schools doesn’t require a portfolio. I would love to see videos of you buying a sewing machine and teach us what you learn. I would also love to see drawings of your designs when you start creating. Much love and wish you success! ❤️
14 likes and 2 views. All the ghost people must love you. I cannot wait to see what you do with your new knowledge. So happy for you.
Congratulations, I'm so happy for you!💕
I'm learning Japanese at my school (because that's a normal subject) and you really give me the motivation to study harder! This video gave me the faith, that I could actually make it that far :')
congrats! and I'm happy that you found sth you are that passionate about! focus on what you are doing! we all support you ❤️❤️❤️
Im so happy for you!! I have the same dream of being a fashion designer but im planning on transferring into an art college in nyc for fashion design! So its so inspiring to see you do it as well
Awe I’m glad you found something you can enjoy and have so much to talk about , omg I’m so glad I got to hear this story 😂❤️
“It’s like the bratz i’n’it” 😂😂😂 that’s so cute ok you got into ur dream college
Congratulations! I've been dreaming to go to an art collage in Japan to become a manga/comic artist and seeing you accomplish your dream made me so happy!! I wish you luck
aw congrats mikan 🥰☺️ good luck on ur journey n lots of love, i bet u worked rly hard to get here ❤️ so happy u get to start on the path toward ur dreams! 🥳💓
I would love more videos on this !!!! I love fashion and I have many friends in japan but I live in Canada . I would love to learn the language but also do something in passionate about ... Fashion!
Also this video really helped me out because I’m at the end of high school and I really didn’t know what I wanted to do but this video popped up and it was like a bell went off 🥴💕
So happy for you!! I really like your method of dealing with stress. I get stressed really easily when I think about the future too much . After high school I rushed into college and it took me 3 years of not doing well and not enjoying what I was doing until my parents finally let me do what I want to do .
Congratulations! You're such a role model! Everything you're doing is so cool and it's even better because you're there on your own and you're not dependant on anyone!
That’s wonderful news! Congrats! I can totally see you going into fashion as a career.
Waiting for that Mikan Mandarin merch now 👏🏻👏🏻
Congrats you deserve it. Good luck on your journey and best of wishes to you
omg omg can't wait for a video about language schools!!!!! i wanna join one in the future and right now i'm working a lot of hours to afford it. and it suck because i have 0 time to study when you work 10-12 hours a day. you inspire me (;___;) good luck!!!!
Awww Congratulations!!! I'm so happy for you! I am at a point where idk what to do with my life but seeing you just so excited and happy about finding your passion is so inspiring!
Omg you got into Bunka!?!?!?! Congratulations Mikan!! Please live out my japanese fashion dream for me ❤
How did you know that she got into bunka...? I don't think she said it, did I miss any information about this???
This is my dream too!!! I'm working hard on my Japanese language studies and building my sewing and drawing skills and it makes me so happy to see that it's possible for foreigners!!
*Ooh you kinda resemble Miwako from Paradise Kiss with that hair*
Idk if you're into anime so..
Your videos have recently been really inspiring to me. I started studying Japanese at home a couple months ago, fell out of it but then recently got back into it. I get discouraged often because I live in America and I don’t see myself being able to travel to Japan in the near future. I’ve been trying to learn all I can about the language and culture of Japan and your videos help me stay motivated! Thank you!
That video glitch you edited in when you went "WAIT... thAts aN OptIOn?!" was perfect. 😅 I'm so excited and happy for you! Not to mention, a little jealous because I am also currently working on my language skills here in US in hopes of applying for grad school there! We'll see in a couple year's time how it goes.
I'm so happy for you!!! You really working hard all the time so this is a really deserved thing! You're so great and I hope to see you more from you, your progress and all your dreams coming true. Keep it up, dear!
You’ve really inspired me to wear my own style of clothes and not look like everyone else around me. Your fashion is adorable and I’m so exited to get into it
IM SO PROUD OF YOU! You are an excellent role model, I hope I can meet you and grow up to be like you. SO EXCITED AND HAPPY FOR YOU❤️❤️❤️😁😁😁
OMG CONGRATZ MIKAN!!! WE ARE SO HAPPY FOR YOU! I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT YOU'LL MAKE AS YOU GO ALONG IN SCHOOL!
Congratulations! I'm studying Artistic Fashion Design in Cracow and I'm in love with it except having no free time because of homework projects. I believe you'll be a great student who fulfills her dreams, you go girl 🌼
wow this is a crazy good opportunity!!! i’m so glad you’re able to do this. i look forward to hearing about your clothes-making journey!!
Congrats! can you show us your projects afterwards? talk about your process, sketches and challenges. And by the end or time of your graduation a preview of your final collection. Altho a quarterly update would be dope.
ahhhh i totally wanna but i'm so unconfident about showing things like that which is why i rarely speak any japanese in videos like while i feel like i'm bad at something i suck at showing it but i totally wanna get over that and try!!!
@@mikanmandarin I know what you mean but I feel like it's all part of the process and I think it's nice to see even a glimpse of it in your perspective like making patterns,choosing fabrics (where do you buy them? Or do u use thifted stuff and recreate them?).I can imagine it like that project runway show. I remember when I was in HS I'm dreading the home ec. Sewing machine part altho we're only making shorts lol then again I wish I did it buttt my teacher was such a slave driver 😂
Oh my gosh Mikan that’s amazing! It’s so cool how you decided to stick to speaking Japanese, even throughout college. You’re gonna do so great in fashion design ❤️
おめでとう！🎊🎉、We’re all so proud of you! I hope you get them scholarships and I can’t wait to see your future garments. Best of luck to you qt.💕 As far as videos, perhaps studying videos and how to be consistent with your studies or you touring japan. (Hopefully once you’ve got the skills to create clothes you sell pieces and start a small online shop to make some extra $).
Congrats on getting into your dream college!! I'm graduating from (probably?) the same courses on HS level in June myself and it has been soooo fun! Make sure to rest and do fun things while you still can because there will be a lot of stress ❤
Congratulations!!💕 Your sense of fashion is so amazing, I'm sure you'll do well.
おめでとうございます!
Congratulations Mikan! I hope you love the program! You're so hard working and dedicated to whatever you put your mind too. I know that with that you'll be able to reach your dreams! Good luck with everything ❤️
IDK why but I'm crying like I feel so proud of you. Go for it, girl! All your hard work is making your dreams come true!
OMG I think the exact same way about planning for the future! I've always been pretty stressed out when I over-plan or don't give myself enough leeway. I also like making decisions as they come. It's nice to know someone else feels the same way! Congratulations on your acceptance!!
Thanks for being so open about everything :)
Congratulations!! I'm so happy for you! I would like to see a spring look book video. Like a preview of what you plan to wear for school.
im crying, im so happy for you! I just love how things our working out for you and I hope it continues on that way!
MIKAN I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU !!! YOU DESERVE THIS 💕💕💕 YOURE GONNA DO GREAT
You are a hard working young lady and I love how honest you are. 🥰
I am so proud of you.
I have been watching your videos for years and the change you’ve gone trough is incredible. You are such an incredible and sweet person!
Please do not ever doubt yourself, you are amazing. What you have achieved is amazing.
I’m sorry that this is so long, I’m just sooooo proud of you. You know, you have helped me get up and actively try to be the person I want to be. I have been struggling with anxiety and depression for years which causes me to have no determination amongst other things. You have helped me accept myself and realise that I am able to do *something* , *anything* if I really set my mind on it.
Long story short, I am extremely great-full for you. Thanks for being you. ❤️
Congratulations, so happy for you, sending you love and wishing you the best. I hope that you make a lot of friends as well.
Congratulations Mikan. You're going to do amazingly! 🎉🎉💜
You are such a lovely young woman. I'm so proud of what you are doing with yourself. Stay lovely and sweet and strong that's what you are in your pastel world. Keep up the damn great work woman. Love always auntie k
That little piece of hair is ANNNNOOOOYYYIIINGGGGG ME
Woooo!! So excited for you Mikan, congrats! ☺️🎉
Yesssss girl! I’m starting fashion school in Japan in April! For my school I didn’t have to take an entrance exam tho. (I think I know what school you’re going to, mines is the other big one in Tokyo w the pretty building but I’m going to the Osaka branch) I just had to pass an interview in Japanese to get in! I was so shocked to hear that you prepared so much, but if I think about it, I studied Japanese for two years nonchalantly and you studied intensely for 1 year, so that makes sense! I hope you have a great time at fashion school and I’m so happy to hear the good news!
Hi,Im think I know what college you going to study,I know it already 3 years passes but may I asked how is your interview and what did they ask because Im also going to apply to that uni
@@meann9376 Hiii! The interview was super easy but intimidating because it’s with a higher up at the school. As long as you speak Japanese, you shouldn’t have a problem. He just asked me what kind of dreams I have, what my interests are, why I came to Japan, why I want to go to this school over another, stuff like that. I’m about to graduate next month actually. Kind of funny 😂
@@Arianna-fx2ho HI thank you so much for replying me,if you dont mind can you cmt your email because Im going to apply to that college and I still have a few questions to ask
I'm so so happy for you!
my dream is to enter a senmon gakkou in jpn as well, so some information in this video was really helpful for me, thanks a lot!
You are the most adorable girl!!!!! Thank you for all the informative Japan videos. I am about to go on my first trip there in a couple of months & feel very prepared after watching all your videos.
Mikan I’m so happy for you!!! You deserve it! I wish you the best in the future!❤️❤️❤️
Edit: OMG MIKAN LIKED MY COMMENT, TYSM, LOVE YOU!!!❤️❤️❤️
WAAAA CONGRATULATIONS I AM SOOOO HAppy for you!! Honestly, you should be chuffed with yourself, you’ve worked so hard 💕
I really appreciate every new content that you put out, they're very informative and easy to digest/ understand. Plus, you're really inspiring. I can't imagine how you've made such a long journey in achieving your goals, really, a huge congrats to you! May you have more power and motivation to do all that you want and need in your life 🎉🎉👍👍
P.S. Are there any age limits in applying for vocational courses in Japan? I'm already turning 26 this year, and I feel like I'm running out of time in deciding, planning and actually starting what it is I want to do for the rest of my life. 😢
No! I actually remember my college specifically telling us there were people in their 30s studying there! But if you plan to go home make sure they’d accept whatever qualification you’d end up with!
Ah! While it’s possible it is a bit difficult getting a student visa after 30 I’ve heard though!
Ooh, ok. Thanks for the answers! 😊
Hi mikan, you are my inspiration, you helped me feel more comfortable as myself with my own style and now you have inspired me to try to get in to my dean fashion college.
Thank you so much Xx
mikan's hair in this video is so nice
Congratulations! I am so proud of you! You've work so hard to get into the college and I am glad you can take a breather for now. I am so happy to see your new adventure and new content! You make me so excited for my study abroad to Japan whenever I watch your videos.
Grats Mikan I hope that you can achieve your dreams and maybe open a fashion line in the future.
