Totally agree on not writing whole conversations in romaji, it really slows things down having to decipher phonetics to Japanese. Best use all English or all Japanese, that way you can use a translator program like DeepL or Line translate to do the translating, you can't do that with romaji.
Regarding the first point, I do notice when Japanese people upload photos/videos, they'll typically blur out people not meant to be in the video and it's something I really appreciate.
I want to commend you on your improved English over a year. I just watched this video and the one with Misa-Chan. I am most impressed with your progress. Keep up the great work! 🤩
Your tips are noted and appreciated Mairi-san. To be honest, I know only 3 kanji characters(they're so hard to remember and write) but i can read hiragana which gives me some small hope of survival in Japan(i still have to learn katakana though). JE-san's japanese is fluent and easy to understand even with no subtitles at all. One thing i always loved about Japanese people is their honesty. These rules you mentioned are no problem for me at all, since i'm a low-profile and always play by the rules man. If i ever visit your country i'd sure come by your shop to say hi. いつもありがとうございます😊❤
If I wasn't Japanese I don't think I could write a single kanji, so you are amazing ❣️it’s interesting that JE’s Japanese is easy to understand!!How about my Japanese?hahaha thank you for your comments ❤
I recommend English speakers learn katakana before hiragana or kanji, because with katakana you can pretty easily read many useful words like バス (basu - bus) タクシー (takushii - taxi) トイレ (toire - toilet) without having memorized any Japanese words. You should understand these English borrowed words instantly!
Hey Miley! I saw you on Japan Explorer's video so I came to look at your channel. I love you because you are so funny and mad! Btw - I agree... Back to the Future is the best movie trilogy ever made! x
There is no better name for a channel on the internet than yours ❤ It’s impossible not to smile,while watching your videos 😀 Good tips for a foreigner like me! Have a wonderful weekend too,and say ciao 👋 to Ganko-chan 🌸💖
"if you feel like screaming, let's go to カラオケ" yes! 💕😌🎤 I think Tip #4 is very good for learning any new language. if it has a different way of writing, I want to practice it as much as possible.
Another excellent video. I really appreciate how you take the time to read and respond to your viewers’ comments, that personal touch makes a big difference. Thanks again for making my weekend just a little brighter with your smile!! I hope you’re having a wonderful day!! 😁
Great video❤... Japanese culture is really admirable.. love to visit some day . Maybe you could do a video sometime about where to go, what season, what part of Japan?
thanks for the tips miley, indeed many of us already knew about the mask issue in japan and its fun to see some japanese idols not wearing masks in europe but when they go back to japan and theyre all masked up again LOL its like they just follow the rest, deep inside they wanna be free. anyways some of us will have to wait until we see like 75% of people maskless on the japanese streets (YT clips) to travel to japan. youre so sweet and beautiful as always. thanks
Yes.exactly! you are right🙌🙌🙌 Japanese people just want to follow the rest. but in my case, I don't do anything that doesn't make sense if everyone else does it 💁hehehe
I did months of research about the japanese way of life and how to be perfectly respectful in your beautiful country,my discipline I had for years and years because of being a karate instructor and I just loved being in Japan and I will be back,that's a promise!!!! Lovely video,kawaii as always!!!❤️❤️🥰🥰⛩️🇯🇵
I would like to thank you for the awesome video. I really like learning about what is and isn't acceptable, especially as a future visitor to Japan. Thank you, Miley for helping me learn more and made me happy too!
I like your BTTF T-Shirt! A good friend of mine, here in California, designed the modifications to the DeLorean car for the BTTF movies, and I got to visit the western town in BTTF 3. Thank you for the tips. Nice work!! :)
Thank you for the information. Some visitors going to Japan don’t mean to upset Japanese when they visit, just like customs in Western countries may seem different to Japanese when they visit.
As always you look adorable! I loved your Back to the Future Tshirt! I will remember everything on the list and when I visit Japan I will go see you and say Hi! haha I am learning Japanese slowly, But I hope to know how to speak it and read it well by the time I visit Japan
@@smileytime You amazing Lady for me is a pleasure Thanking you, Love your content, Back to the Future is one of my favorites too! I have the Trilogy in my personal collection, And I have the opportunity of meeting Lea Thompson (Lorraine) Thomas Wilson (Biff) and Christopher Lloyd (Doc Brown) In a convention.....
You are a lovely person, Miley, and I Feel I'm learning a lot about Japan just from having seen a few vids featuring you. Your 4 rules are very reasonable Hope all goes well for you, and that you achieve the success you undoubtedly deserve. As others have observed, your English is good. In fact it is VERY good. P.S. Tried to find your Instagram page, but got directed to Japanese Instagram, and couldn't make sense of it. Have you got Facebook too?
Oh Smiley! I don’t know the Japanese alphabet (yet…), sometimes people need to speak louder to me because I am hard of hearing but I understand needing to speak quietly, I know I should mind my manners - hopefully I will be welcomed in Japanese. Your “Double Ice Cream 🍦 Man”!
I came from a country where a visa is required to enter Japan even for a short visit. Now that means I have to schedule an appointment at the Japanese embassy.
Smiley Time.. turned mine into Smiley Day!. Do you ever visit rural Japan? Could you do some Similey time tour of rural Japan? Thank you for another Similey Day🇬🇧
RE: the alphabet issue. Wouldn't all the store signs in English that we tend to see in Tokyo (as JE has often shown us) leave unsuspecting tourists with the impression that you might be able to get away with using English everywhere you go there, which isn't really true? Of course, those signs would be helpful for me as someone who can't read or speak Japanese (yet)---but if I were to visit Japan I'd definitely need an interpreter until I could carry a good-enough conversation on my own.
Japanese 漢字 is very similar but not the same as the traditional Chinese character even Mirely surname should be 渡邊 But we are ok with it I wonder can Japanese read full Chinese Paragraph
Good to know that you should not text in latin alphabet, thanks. Did not know that. Thanks. Does and dont's is part of its culture. Try to reduce its fault, or what we call it norwegian 'ikke tråkk i salaten', translated to 'do not tread in the salad'.
I'm more concerned about other issues though... ここ数年、一部の外国人（主にアメリカの若者）が、日本に関する話題になると、あまりにも権利を主張しすぎることに気がつきました。 日本人の伝統的で保守的な考え方が嫌いで、日本の法律やメディアの内容には反対だが、それでも日本が「好き」だと言うのである。 彼らの言葉には偽善的な部分が多すぎるし、彼らの意図は日本を今の状態から変えたいと思っているように見える。 今、よく問題になるのは、日本が外国人嫌いだと外国人から非難されることです。 国境が開かれた今。 私はこのことをとても危惧しています。 But thank you for making this video. I just wish for foreigners to listen, instead of focusing on themselves more over others.
I'm so glad you don't wear a mask outside! That means you're intelligent and a free spirit! (I'm not surprised!) I have only been asked to wear a mask two times. (In one case, my family and I were the only customers!) I left the store instead of wearing a mask. The store became empty, and I simply won't go back to that store. The second time, while the cashier rang up my order, a manager asked me, 「マスクは・・・」 I said, 「いいです。」 (He didn't know how to respond to that! Heh heh!) My family and I never wear a mask outside, but my wife puts on a mask in the store because of peer pressure. She is Japanese, after all. But sometimes, she doesn't even in the store. (It makes me happy!) Many stores have signs that ask you to wear a mask, but it's okay to ignore the signs. Nobody will give you a hard time about it. (By now, most people realize that everything is fine, and only wear a mask because they see everybody else doing it.) Now that the fear propaganda has slowed down a little, more people are walking outside without a mask. Let's hope Japan becomes like other countries and stops pretending that everyone is sick! The "being quiet on the train" is important. My wife even scolds me when I yawn too loud on the train! (Maybe it's bad manners, but I can't help it when I am tired!)
These are all things i avoid doing in America so i should be gucci. By the way, Americans use "gucci" as slang for "good" or "cool". Now I teach YOU slang haha.
Totally agree on not writing whole conversations in romaji, it really slows things down having to decipher phonetics to Japanese. Best use all English or all Japanese, that way you can use a translator program like DeepL or Line translate to do the translating, you can't do that with romaji.

lmaoooooooo
The alphabet is called Latin alphabet, also called Roman alphabet.
I came from a country where a visa is required to enter Japan even for a short visit. Now that means I have to schedule an appointment at the Japanese embassy.
Thanks!

thank you verrrrrrry much your super thanks😭💓

I understand about photos. But what about video filming generally? - in your outside shots nobody seemed to mind. Thanks for all the videos
It's basically okay to shoot videos outside!！
It's okay to shoot people as long as you don't focus on a specific person☺️

Omg I took a picture of this woman I went out with. I thought I was being cute but she brought it up. 😅
😺❣I like the sincerity of Japanese people, but sometimes that can hurt other people...
Thank you Miley San...🙏
I agree it is always better to ask permission to photograph people (especially ladies) and private places...respecting privacy is important.
yes. I think so too. sometimes good and sometimes not good🙌🙌🙌🎃

Great video. We call the alphabet ローマ字 😇
ローマ字使わないで❤❤❤❤
I'm more concerned about other issues though...
ここ数年、一部の外国人（主にアメリカの若者）が、日本に関する話題になると、あまりにも権利を主張しすぎることに気がつきました。
日本人の伝統的で保守的な考え方が嫌いで、日本の法律やメディアの内容には反対だが、それでも日本が「好き」だと言うのである。
彼らの言葉には偽善的な部分が多すぎるし、彼らの意図は日本を今の状態から変えたいと思っているように見える。
今、よく問題になるのは、日本が外国人嫌いだと外国人から非難されることです。
国境が開かれた今。
私はこのことをとても危惧しています。
But thank you for making this video.
I just wish for foreigners to listen, instead of focusing on themselves more over others.
日本は外国人大好きだけど、英語が苦手だし、慣れてないからコミュニケーションの仕方がわからないだけなのです。So we Japanese have to change🙋
@@smileytime 変化」という言葉が広すぎる。
英語でのアクセシビリティは問題ない。
しかし、日本が外国人を受け入れれば受け入れるほど、外国人は権利意識を持つようになる。
日本には、キャリアや作品に関連する特定の人物の身元を公開しなければならない法律が現在進行形で存在します。アーティスト、Vtuber、漫画家、監督などです。
すでに、外国人が日本のアーティストの絵が気に入らないからと、twitterなどで嫌がらせや誹謗中傷をしているのを見かけますが、そんなシナリオがネットから現実に移行してしまうのは困りますね。
外国人が日本人に嫌がらせをするのは嫌だ!
Tu est adorable petit ange ......
