I love these kind of vids. Your mum kinda looks like Japanese mixed with south-east asian to me. For me it's the shape of her nose, it's very similar to my own, which I inherited from my Indo dad. In her graduation picture, she really reminds me of my aunt when she was young as well. Based on your results, there shouldn't be big surprises though.
My concern about this DNA test is that they lump Korean and Japanese into the same group. I have seen other DNA tests which separated them. Why would I pay good money for a test that just lumps ethnicities together?
It makes sense to me that the Kanji for Friday means gold or metal because a lot of people get paid on Friday. Or maybe it's random lol Also I know Spanish too and Monday is lunes which is moon too. I like that certain things transcend language and are kind of standard across the board lol. Gives my brain a break. 😂
So here is my explanation for the Finnish part. About 8500 years ago people from south east Asia wandered through Russia and settled in northern Scandinavia and Finland. They became the Sami people. They later mixed with people from the south. To this day, the Sami people look a bit Asian with Asian eyes and you can also see a hint of that in northern Swedes and Finns. Look up pictures of the Sami. You look quite like them. So the explanation to why you have Finnish DNA is not because one of your ancestors were Finnish but because the Finnish people and your ancestors share ancestors. My heritage cannot know which direction the association goes, they can only see that you share DNA. So my theory is that your ancestors must have been related to the people that became the Sami people thousands of years ago.
You look VERY white/west eurasian for someone of full Japanese descent! Goes to show how diverse east Asian phenotypes are! If you would like, I could run your DNA file through my Trait Predictor tool for free and send you your health and traits report which you could then cover in a video. Just a suggestion.
One of things I plan to do is replace my current language with Japanese. unless required otherwise. My Native Tongue is Thai. But English was only used due to necessity.
I Genetics are weird I used to have a japanese friend, she looked japanese, but she showed me a picture of her grandfather once and he looked white. She was married to an American. Her children looked more Japanese than their more who was fulky Japanese.
In antiquity celts lived all over Europe and as faar aouth east as Turkey. The romans called Celts (Galli) in central and Southern Europe they lived in France ( Gallia) in Switzerland, in Northern Italy, and in Sardinia they also lived in Spain (there is still in Spain a region called Galicia), in Turkey, in a region called Galatia. That would explain how her husband can have celt and iberian and west asian DNA
Your result does not necessarily suggest that any of your ancestors were ever in Finland, could be, but it could also be that one of your ancestral relatives, headed that way, and now a significant number of their offspring make up the modern population of Finland. There are many in that region who have characteristically "asian" eyes, Lapps, among others. Anyhow, if you could trace it all back far enough, we are likely all related. Well except for the aliens that shipwrecked and mixed!! But even if that, if those aliens were close enough to mix, that may suggest that prior shipwrecked bunch of aliens were already here when the second batch of aliens were shipwrecked. Aww no matter how patriotic a person may be, or how protective you might be to retain a certain phenotypical set of characteristics, the simple truth is, we are ALL from somewhere else.
DNA tests are NOT 100% accurate. Finns were not Vikings, LOL. I got 1.4% Korean and in a haafu FB group I'm a moderator, over 40% of people who answered got Korean DNA. <------ the Yayoi!!!
No such thing as 100% Japanese, unless you're one of those naive people who think Nihonjin came from the sun goddess Amaterasu. People came from various parts, and the average Japanese person has.....MORE Yayoi DNA than Jomon. Where did the Yayoi originate? No one knows for sure, but they came via Korea, whether it was a peninsula then or there was a land bridge. As someone who's haafu myself, with a Nihonjin mom, I've long wondered where various ethnic groups came from. We don't even know exactly where the first people who entered, the Ainu, came from, but we know they are in Sakhalin Island, the Kurile Islands and also eastern Russia, i.e. Siberia, and near the China/Russia border, i.e. the Amur River basin area. Jomon DNA has been found in many parts of Asia, inc Southeast, Central, and the aforementioned Amur River basin area. Lastly, we don't know where the Uchinanchu (Okinawans) are originally from, but read a report years before saying the Uchinanchu and Ainu share a common ancestor. That is to say, the fallacy that Japanese are homogeneous is just that....a FALLACY!
We know my multi great grandfather came from Ireland in the 1600's when Cromwell purges Irish out on ships across the British empire taking their land. When one of my daughters did one of those DNA heritage tests she came back more Scottish than Irish, but both are Gaelic, so it's definitely not surprising.
You likely have Chinese ancestry regardless of these test results. Most DNA-testing companies use Autosomal-DNA tests & only go back about 5 generations (thus totally missing that you could have had Chinese ancestry from about 2,000yrs ago). See, not all "snips" (SNP's) of one's DNA are analysized by these companies (& they don't all look at the same snips, nor do they share the same databases, nor share any common algorythm as such are all propriatory). Note: CRI Genetics offers mt-DNA testing & an Advanced Ancestry Analysis which could reveal additional ethnicities in your family tree.
Some Finns live not so far from the Inuits as both live close to the North Pole - & some Inuits share Japanese & other Asian ancestry: these folk having all been together at one time. If DNA were inherited in consistent fractions, then I could guesstimate your Inuit coming into your tree about 6 generations back; BUT, DNA is inherited in inconsistent fractions (& some not at all); so at best, my guess becomes: about 6 generations back, give or take some. And the Finn would be from about 5 generations back, give or take some.
Most Japanese are Jomon and Yayoi. So it makes sense. But this includes the 90%+ Japanese, since only the inuit are the indigenous as far as we know. So if you go far enough, you'd be 90%+ somewhere else. A lot of Japanese letters are inspired by China. DNA test is locating your DNA to similar to other people living today, it doesn't go back to ancient times.
The middle east oart could also be from slavery practiced in the region. As Christian slaves where a prised possession for herams, and labor. Traided by the barbea pirates. One yiur ancestors may have been whith child when released or after escape. Could been from a trade ship or trader going across the silk road. History is fascinating. And kets face it ladies from all parts of the world are beautiful. Its chosing the right one to settle down with and creating our own new branch of the tree.
This is just a hypothesis, if your great grandfather on your father-side came from Tohoku Region, not Hokkaido, as I remember in history that is the area of the Emishi. Others said the Emishi are related to the Ainu, I don't know and that I think is the reason of having genetic link to the Inuit. About the Finns, no clue. Maybe a migrant. Back in the day before modern period there's a lot of migration. Just a hypothesis, you are a descendant of an Emishi also the line of your father side if the north you are pointing at is Tohoku Region.
I can understand if they refuse to animate this any longer with Clip Studio Paint after what they pulled. Regarding the voice acting, they can be better. They have nice voices for their characters, but the actors sound stiff and not natural. It sounds like they're mimicking their characters voice, rather than being that characters voice. But the story is good enough to keep you intrigued.
