it is SUMMER and it is TOO HOT TO DO ANYTHING but i am FORCING MYSELF TO GO OUT ANYWAYS
In today's video I go to Harajuku and visit Meiji Jingu for maybeeee the first time??? Also window shopped in Shimokitazawa and admired the clothing from afar...it's not for me even though I wish it was!! I genuinely can't fit most things lmao
Have you been before? Actually I think this was my first time in Shimokita in about a year? Not sure why I'm too lazy to drag myself over there even though I enjoy the vibes 🙈

HELLO EVERYONE IT IS HOT!!!! thrifting is too much work. but. i love my new desk. ok i am going to play genshin now 🌞

@Na2Ocean 2 года назад

Los Angeles heat isn’t the same as Japan heat but I agree it’s been too hot lately 🥵 I keep a fan at my desk with the AC on while wearing a sweater 🤣 The desk looks great! 👌 Personally I don’t enjoy thrifting because of the effort to find something good. I don’t have any patience for that 😂 I’ve yet to play Genshin. I refuse to play it on the iPad 😭

@mrsthe97 Год назад

I'm not very thrifty, unless I have a specific project or costume in mind. I do love going to thrift stores for zombie outfits because I rough them up and paint them/ age them.

Cool to see Miffy merch in other countries, because Miffy is Dutch (and I'm Dutch). It is called "Nijntje" in Dutch, "ij" is pronounced a little bit similar to the i in "hi", and "tje" like "ch" (chips) "uh".

Can confirm they do thrift overseas especially LA and repurpose to sell in japan

I love how unique the style of those shops in Shimokitazawa look. (Let's be honest most non chain shops look unique in Japan lol). At this point I am wondering if Genshin will sponsor you one day x)?!

@AllisoninTokyo 2 года назад

yes i love them too!!! lmao i hope so 😂😂

@Kaatastrophe 2 года назад

I didn't know Miffy (or as we call her Nijntje in the Benelux!) was such a thing in Japan. That's so interesting to see. I grew up with the tv show as a child!

@AllisoninTokyo 2 года назад

yes miffy is super popular here!!! not sure why exactly 😂😂

@natalietowner6780 Год назад

Pretty in Picnic 🙃🥰

@fiftytwocow Год назад

Yeah when it comes to thrifting in japan a lot of places are more expensive then in usa. In fuchinobe and machida areas of Tokyo for the university I studied abroad at I was lucky had a few pretty good priced places to thrift. So, I would see if those in those area are still good. I love your videos :)

@inhuman3005 2 года назад

Hey Allison! Just wanted so say that I love your vlogs and always look forward to every upload!!

@AllisoninTokyo 2 года назад

@Na2Ocean 2 года назад

I’ve never been to Shimokitazawa, in fact I’ve never been to Japan 😂 I hope to go some day and I’ll visit because it looks like I’d enjoy the vibes too ❤️ Also, I live in Los Angeles and it’s TOO hot for me. Once it hits 70 I’m out. I can’t!

@AllisoninTokyo 2 года назад

omg 70 😂😂 its between 90-110 here most days now 😮‍💨

@Yuffie13 2 года назад

omg so many Cardcaptor Sakura things 😍 One Christmas my parents found Cardcaptor Sakura keychains for me. I still have two intact (Kero and Meiling), and I think I still have Sakura minus the very tip of her scepter, but Syaoran Li literally lost his head. (I had them both on a sports bag I used for karate class.) Those things are so breakable!

@AllisoninTokyo 2 года назад

yeah they are especially the wanda and stuff 😭😭 usually i just keep mine as decoration because of that 🥲

@AlyssumIvy 2 года назад

i think maybe the thrift shops are actually more like vintage shops, which is a little different and that's why they're so much more expensive

@GabrielleMarinArt 2 года назад

Exactly, for real thrifting like goodwill you'll find them at MODE OFF in Ueno and Shimokitazawa - I found a looot of cheap stuff for 300-500 yen there and also DON DON DOWN in Shibuya and Suginami for instance. Just look those shop names and you'll find a bunch of different locations for cheap clothes :)

@kurisuisaway 2 месяца назад

Could you tell temperature also in Celsius for your non-US peeps? I'm presuming Japan does use Celsius

@user-vj9zo5xr7z 2 года назад

It is soooo hot! I live in Wisconsin, USA, so I am not used to very extreme heat waves lol 😆 But I can’t even imagine Japan right now 🥵 Thank you for showing us this video!! I love all the super cute Sanrio stuff you saw. I’m not a particular fan of Sanrio, but you make it look so appealing, like now I REALLY WANT some merch! See you soon 😊

@AllisoninTokyo 2 года назад

that’s japans specialty, making all these useless things look so appealing 😂😂

@allison May I ask a question, first of all it sucks because I'm a beginner and I want to learn Japanese too, I don't know what to do first, it's supposed to be hiragana or kanji, can you write in the comment all the Japanese words that are different, pretending to be hiragana, kanji, meaning and what order is that? I don't know what I know, I think there is a furigana, pls im begging you! I really need it and I haven't started 😭😭😭😢 pls respond if there is anything I'm waiting here 😫😭😭

Very nice vlog and I love your new desk. It looks really good and so much more space 😍 I have a pretty small desk right now, but a bigger one would fit. So I try to make the most out of it. I’m thinking of getting a new monitor stand bc the one I currently have takes too much precious space. We’ll see. Btw thrifting in Germany isn’t that much fun. It’s mostly stuff that’s in not so good shape anymore and it’s really hard to find something good. I’m not a huge fan and I get the impression that it isn’t as common as it used to be a few years ago anymore.

@AllisoninTokyo 2 года назад

yeah i read thrifting is on a downward trend since its loaded with fast fashion now 😖 makes sense but kinda sad
