What I've been doing 

Emma, nobody expects you to share your whole personal life (or not even a piece of your personal life) if you don't want to. I enjoy your videos because you are you and funny, not because of your own personal life. Hugs from Navarra in Spain!

As a dad with 2 young daughters (12 and 14) I think it's important for them to hear that it's not just them struggling with their body image (no matter how many times you tell them their beautiful). Modern media is so destructive for young kids and adults :(

Here's a thought - it's perfectly ok for Tokidoki Traveller to be a bit of a character you play on RU-vid, and viewers really ought to understand that. Off-camera Emma is free to share her personal life or not as she sees fit. Chris Broad has been very open about this lately, admitting he does act somewhat differently on camera - it's perfectly natural to be so - and that he kept some very substantial aspects of his life private. It's all good; we get it.

Hey Emma, we just appreciate seeing you when we see you. You are such an amazing host on Tokyo Creative. I always enjoy whatever you put up. When you put it up. And thank you for telling us about something which has obviously been so difficult. We appreciate you so much :-)

You've been fighting so much Emma and you are so loved by all of us!! I think I speak for everyone when we say we love your content and respect that you need to have a private life as well as a life where you make marge Simpson cosplays with us on twitch. Keep on keeping on!!

Thanks for sharing. I hope that was cathartic for you I'm sure it will be super valuable to many viewers in similar situations too. Knowing your not alone in going through something can make a huge difference! And great desktop background, one of my personal favourite Ghibli scenes 😍

Glad you’re here saying hello! I also went through a “food journey”. It was after a really bad relationship and I recently, 5 years later (about two days ago), looked at some old photos and was like… wow. That girl was very unhealthy. As you change, your perspective will change too. Sending you love. 🖤

Even if you upload everyday, every week, month, or year I’m still a fan. You have no obligation to us to share your life or anything in it. I have always appreciated your personality, adventure, and perspective. Whether you are here on RU-vid or out in the world recording nothing at all, you have this fans support!

I’m currently on a food & body image journey myself and am glad you’re seeking help. It really does make a world of a difference. You’re right in that this is your business, but I hope you can share this with a close friend or family member for added support. I have only told a handful of people and can’t imagine doing this journey without them. I wish you the best 😊

Hey Emma, I’m sorry you’re going through such a tough time about your body. But always remember that YOU ARE NOT ALONE with this experience and there’ll always be something to criticize about ourselves no matter how hard we try to “fix” it. I feel like the pandemic has made a lot of people feel insecure and critical about themselves, given how people were told to stay at home and not go out. And with all that time being at home, we became self-critical about ourselves. Then at the end of the day, we’d come back to those silly intrusive thoughts in our heads. But I believe you’ll grow from this experience and learn to accept your beautiful, sexy, smart, quirky, and funny self in the near future. Don’t feel pressured into sharing everything with us. Put your mental health first above anything else. Thank you for all your hard work and keep getting stronger. We all look forward to seeing you looking back and smiling at how far you’ve come. Stay strong and keep going. We’re all wishing you support, happiness, security and success. 😁🫡🙏👍👌💪

It’s great to see you set boundaries for your personal life, it’s a good example for anyone watching. You sharing your mental health struggles is inspiring. Asking for help is brave and it’s setting a good example to your viewers on making positive changes.

This was so wonderful and wholesome and important to hear and heard said. We're all in our own little spaceship body and I'm super happy for you to be on adventures just for you. I hope you're well and take care!

So good to see you here again! Love your wonderful genuineness. Thank you for sharing bits of your story with us

You are so entertaining to watch, and I feel privileged to get any personal information you share. That being said, I watch you for you, and enjoy any videos you do. Keep well, keep emmaing and keep designing (that orange hat guy is awesome!).

I love this unexpected life update Emma ❤️ Sending love and warm support 😊

Glad to hear you're doing well and doing what you need for your own health and well-being. On my last trip to Tokyo, my friend showed me a plus-sized store called Punyus in the Shibuya 109 building! The clothes are sized in a similar fashion to Torrid and go up to a "4". I can barely fit into a 6L or 7L in Japan, but I was able to fit into a lot of size 4 stuff at Punyus. Definitely recommend!

Always such a great pleasure to be able to travel with you! I love your journeys! Thank so much!

Emma is my favorite kind of awesome person... She doesn't realize how awesome she actually is! On a scale of 1 to 37... she is at least a 34.

emma i missed your videos so much! lately, occasionally i get to catch your cooking streams and you look like you're having so much fun ^___^ thanks for the chill/real vibes, i hope your evening is going good ❤

I’m just happy to see you! Thank you for the update, and for being vulnerable with us. Do what’s good for you and we will support you wherever you pop up! ❤️ you’re a rad little lass!

Keep being you and exploring what makes you happy! Been following and watching for years, keep being awesome! (The “wait” sounded just like the crosswalk guy’s voice) lol

wow you know I relate so much to the whole food journey....I didnt know how much I was still interally dealing with that until you said that. It made me so emotional. After having a child three years ago, I have become a lot more self accepting of my body. I used to fight it a lot as well.

I love "Orange Dude!" So much respect to you for getting help when you needed it; that is such a big step. Many of us do not even know we have a problem! 😅

Thanks for sharing Emma! It helps to hear your experience, esp for peeps still figuring out their own way 😊

You’re genuinely funny and charming. Keep strong and may the stars be with you.

No need to hold yourself responsible to us, if you want to share share, if you don't want to, don't. I'm sorry you're going through a tough time, and I'm glad to hear you've managed to find some people to help you and are managing to get into a better headspace.

I follow so many Japan related channels. Have different favourites for different factors but you’re absolutely the most genuinely funny. X

hi emma, so glad to hear you in an upbeat mood. I had crazy visa issues early in my journey in Hong Kong and was within days of having to move back, and didn't want to share it with anyone. totally get keeping your life private.. Here's one of my favorite quotes... "When someone makes a decision, he is really diving into a strong current that will carry him to places he had never dreamed of!"

It's just good to see you again. We've missed seeing you, but you also need to take care of yourself as well. We'll still be here when your ready, your fans respect and love you for the content you produce. We're just happy that your doing well and hope you continue to do so.

It was only when I was in my 30's and reflecting back on my life I realised I had massive eating disorders. It came from a multitude of places, but was always dismissed as being 'a fussy eater' and other things like that, but I really wish I had seen it for what it was and got help sooner! Thank you for discussing these things, because its something we as a society should be ok with openly discussing!

Thank you for the bday wishes today :) Thanks for sharing and looking forward to your next video, I always enjoy them.

It’s really nice to see you and thank you for talking about the things you shared in the video. You are appreciated. ❤️

I was plus size from the age of 12 until very recently (maybe 2 yrs now?) so I understand what you are talking about. Then this summer I had issues with eating due to some meds I had been prescribed to help with GERD. I was was hardly eating because anything I ate hurt me which caused me to become malnourished. Trying to wrap my head around no longer being a size 22, 20, 18 etc it's weird. We follow and watch you for you. We don't care what size you are. As long as you are healthy and happy is all that matters!

We appreciate you Emma. I definitely get the "wanting to keep my personal life private sometimes." Most of my friends and family never want to be in my videos and I respect that when we hang out and everything. 😁 Keep being you and thanks for the update!

Appreciate the update! Glad you are enjoying life and got the help you needed. We’ll be here for whatever you want to share and you wanting to keep some of your life to yourself is entirely reasonable. It is your life and you get to choose. ❤❤❤

Emma, watching your videos over the years, I never really expected you to share the deep, personal stuff. I just always adored your personality, jokes, your fun vlogs and activities (both outside and at home), and I still come back to certain videos because of the nice vibes and aesthetics :) I'm looking forward to the new videos :) I'm happy you're doing alright and I wish you good health and happiness on your life journey!

Also, best of luck to you and your health (physical, mental, all of it). Wish you all the best Emma. I'm happy to see whatever part of your life and yourself you want to share, whether it be none or all. I'm back to binging more of your videos.

Hi Emma! It's nice to see you! I'm glad to hear you are well.

I watch your streams a lot and have watched every tokidoki and Tokyo creative video as well. Body image is a touchy subject for almost everyone, and I understand being in a place that doesn't cater for a normal sized human wouldn't help. I mean honestly they don't make any size normal over there. From personal experience I bought shoes online that were the absolute largest size possible, when I got them turns out my feet are just too wide to fit them. Japanese or Asian body sizes in general are so different from most westerners I understand it can be disheartening. But I hope you don't let it effect you too much Emma. You're a great person and have a great day!

TYSM for being brave and sharing this little snippet of your personal struggles. You really do not have to, but as you said - it does help others to hear that and know they are not alone with their struggles regarding body image. Immensly.

It’s always fun to hear from you no matter how much you choose to share or what you choose to show! Thanks for updating us. ☺️ Take care!

emmaaaaaaaaaa so happy to see a video from you! that some queen shit ❤

Emma I have to say your videos are always great to watch. Your ideas and lively attitude is amazing. Plus whatever you provide as personal just shows your still down to earth with feelings. But girl you are very attractive. Just keep pushing on, your an inspiration seriously

You are brilliant!

I'm sorry to hear you've been struggling with food but I'm glad to hear you've been doing well and that you've been getting professional help! We're all on our own journeys with our own struggles so you're definitely not alone, and if and how much you share is totally up to you, I respect it either way! I always love seeing your content no matter what shape or form it takes, I just love your energy and vibe. Looking forward to the new videos!

Emma, love the content when you upload, your happiness and mental well-being is key though, keep safe. I'm glad you love England I love the place too.

So nice to see you again Emma. We dont need to see your private life, but we do like to see a bit of Japan and learn about life there, so dont feel pressured to share stuff. Looking forward to seeing your mum again. Love your orange dude hat. Hugs from Adelaide. 🌈 🌸💕🐨

I love little orange dude! 💕 glad you're doing well Emma!

Awesome that you're getting support. When I've visited Tokyo, I've been able to find tops that fit at Uniqlo, some department stores, and tops & bottoms at COS. I've also had lil' ol' ladies "Candy ja NAI!!!" me when I've been looking for gum. It's weight-stuff triggering as all hell.

Great to see you back on screen and I am sorry to hear you are having issues. But, it is great to hear you are getting help and I hope it is helping you thought a few things! Glad to hear you got to see family as well. If it is any consolation, I think you have nothign to worry about.. except maybe the Marge Simpson outfit, lol!

Hi Emma! I'm finally bringing my family to Japan next Easter!! Can't wait! So glad you're doing okay all considered! I've just taken the plunge and booked in some grief counselling after losing my Dad suddenly last November. I'm doing it for me, and for my family. My 11yo son commented that I just seem so sad, when I thought I was keeping it together and going okay. So off I go to talk to some professionals. Take care and stay cool! 🥰

YOU LOOK AMAZING! Good luck on your journey. I hope it's wonderful!

I love how funny you are and creative you are!

Its good to hear your doing well, were all on our own journey and its tough sometimes, but we can all lift each other up and drag each other across the finish line :)

Your personal life is just that, personal, no one has a right to know what's going on there. Also i love your content, whether it be on here as part of TC, or on Twitch, i appreciate everything you give us.

Listen Emma you don't have to explain your own personal life to anyone you have zero obligation to do so no one expects you to a lot of us here watch you for who You are not for what we want you to be so whenever you want to leave and comeback just know that you have a whole lot of Loyal supporters here and waiting and ready to listen

Emma You are awesome! Thank you for all the wonderful content you create.

Hey there! Really enjoy your videos. They always make me smile. 🙂

I started watching you on twitch recently, so I get insights before regular youtube does. But im proud of you for opening up and still continuing to do videos. Stay strong and keep healing girl! We love our Emma. Soon as you pulled out the happy birthday, I was like yes I know whats about to happen lol. This video was very twitch like without the trolls from your regulars lol. If anyone talks shit about you, just know most of your real fans on youtube and twitch could easily fight them ❤ You’re amazing Emma! Keep being you! And as always, I look forward to all content you put out 😊 See you on twitch.

Hi! I completely understand that sharing personal matters is difficult and you're brave to do it. The fact that you do at all helps people even unintentionally. Your work has purpose. It truly does and I appreciate it. You're amazing!

Emma you have the BEST sense of humor, and your content is always something I look forward to no matter how long it's been! I enjoy when creators are transparent as well, but please dont feel like you're ever obligated to share your personal life if you don't want to. Just know that most of us just want to see you pursue whatever makes you happy! Also I need that stubborn orange hat omg

Proud of you for getting the help you need Emma! You are such an inspiration. 💕

Thanks for the update pre new videos. As said already you share what you feel comfortable and your followers still appreciate you. Genuinely, you come across as such a decent person and have interesting content so keep being your own true self x

And just like that I'm caught up. I've been watching you for the past few months and i have enjoyed your videos immensely. Im sorry that you are going through a tough time but im glad you are doing what you need to, to get through it. Big love and thanks for the joy you bring.

Always like your content, you seem like a lovely person. Take care x

I'm a UK size 22 and the 3 years I spent in Japan were a challenge clothing wise. I can also recommend Punyus, I shopped a lot from Uniqlo online as the do extended sizes there that they don't have in store. A fav of mine was a brand called noannu I think? I used to get it in the Aeon at Shinagawa seaside they had some cute jumpsuits/overalls and often some cute branded stuff in bigger sizes I have some super cute cinnamoroll dress that's still going strong 5 years later! Also Suzutan in the Nakano sun mall if it's still there. Super hakka feuille goes to larger sizes and they have them in Isetan but it's super expensive but so very lovely. Sending love as I have some experience with this type of thing, surround yourself with good people and be kind to yourself x

Welcome back! Thanks for sharing what you have. Food is tough and you definitely don't have to tell us, but I loved that thought, "this would have helped a younger me." Also I'm in Japan right now so these plus size recommendations are perfect! One that I found online that I haven't seen here is Sakazen (was og men's clothing but supposedly now has women's). The other ones I've noted are of course Punyus, Nissen and I saw that GU has extended sizes, but maybe only online for above an XL. Also going to check out Sou sou based on another comment. Lastly I always look at the men's clothes too! Especially if I want a bit of an oversized look. Best of luck with your food/clothes journey

Oh Emma, I appreciate your honesty SO MUCH. It's very refreshing. As @Julian said, we enjoy your videos because they are funny and endearing. No need to share your personal life if that's not your thing. We stand by your choices and cheer for you in anyway we can. Hugs from Brazil :)

Love that you’ve decided to extend the kindness you have regarding other peoples bodies to your own! Food challenges are incredibly difficult, I admire you for sharing what you feel comfortable with while highlighting the complexities of it! Wishing you all the best with your recovery!

Glad to hear you're doing well Emma, and thanks for sharing! You get to have your private life but one of the things that make you such an awesome human to see around the internet is that you make sure we know that you're not genki and bubbly and super happy and confident 100% of the time, and that's okay. I hope you find more clothes that fit in Japan soon; that must have been especially hard during the pandemic!

Hi Emma, your vid’s are great you look awesome and the hats are fab. Don’t listen to your inner saboteur. ❤️

Yay! So glad to see you and that things are going well. It's easy to be your own harshest critic for some reason, but glad to see you're being kind to yourself. Looking forward to more!

Hello there !!! 🙂 Glad to know you’re doing well. You’re right, we’re all on a journey and it’s good to keep family and friends close by. Go Emma !!!!

Hola Emma! Consider a "body journey" perspective related with exercise. I truly believe that working out can balance your mind and body, act as an anchor habit when life is getting chaotic, help with what and how you eat, and of course helps with your sleep. Dance as an example, is fun, a great workout and helps you connect with your body in a very deep way. When you give your body an activity, you are giving it a function and now you can evaluate your body thru a performance perspective which is more related with health than looks. Health is the ultimate goal. A cyber hug from South America!

Yay Emma you're cool, just keep doing whatcha doing. It awesome 👍

Emma , I love your endings of your videos . P.S. You look great! I started following you awhile ago when you moved to Japan I absolutely love your channel and video. Keep them coming.

You work on you Emma, no need to open up too much, we just enjoy what you post whenever it is. I like your take on life in Japan, it's a bit more kooky and unusual than most creators and very engaging. Just remember you are beautiful inside (and outside in my opinion).

I still think you have one of the best outtros of any channel! Always love that part as crazy as that sounds, lol... but good update video and hope you're doing better. Good luck with your food stuff.

So sorry to hear that you've been struggling with "self-image" & the pressures that society, the media & fashion put on people (especially women). Glad to hear you're getting support & help & I hope that you can enjoy being "yourself". Sounds like you had an enjoyable time in the UK, hope you were able to relax and just enjoy being here, seeing family & being "on holiday". Take care.❤

I'm in the same boat, as I myself am plus sized. I'm working with my therapist and it's helped a lot. I definitely still have my days, but one thing she's told me that does help is "if you feel good on the inside, the rest will follow". I hope things get better! We're rooting for you! Hope everything else is going okay!

Emma! Welcome back. I haven't seen your video for a long while and was a bit panicky. I hoped you were alright. Thank goodness you are well. Appreciate all your work. Stay well.

Adore being the person we needed by saying things even when they’re hard. It’s never easy but I know someone is helped by it. Also love respecting your own boundaries in certain areas of your life even when you exist in a visible space in others. All the best to you!

Glad to see you back. And yeah on clothing stuff, just got here recently and I should have bought extra bras before coming over. XD

I’m so glad you are back and had a blast in the UK

I was there for the creation of the doge emote. I need that hat. Man those streams got me through a particularly shitty 2020. Thank you Emma. And no matter what you feel like sharing, your viewers will always back you :) love from good ol’ Brissy! Hope to see you on the streets of Tokyo in December!

Great you're back! Really appreciate your personal details.

I hope Brighton bright-on-ed up your time in the UK (sorry we can't help our selves with the puns here). Don't threat about what you're sharing though, seeing you happy and healthy is all that matters to us! I have a difficult time with food as well and the bad days can really bum you out, but tomorrow is a new day and a fresh start.

i need this cap for work :D as always thanks for doing what youre doing. i mostly know you from the tc channel stuff and your content is entertaining af so yeah merry x-mas ^^

Its been almost 5years when i had last watched video and somehow randomly i remembered emma again. I have always loved your channel. The videos, the way you talk everything exudes a sense of comfort that i really like...lots of love emma..love from India

Hi Emma, I've enjoyed watching you for years. You've always cheered me up when I've felt crap. Take care of yourself - you are fabulous!

I'm an extrovert. I always try to keep my self in the spotlight. And try to share as much as I can about myself. I just can't keep things to myself. But even so, there are some stuff I can't share even if I want to get it out to my close ones, but can't. I don't know if our situations are similar. but I wanted to say it. Lovely to see you. Love you and your videossssss

I enjoy your content, I am not entitled to your personal stuff. You take care of you 1st. I appreciate the videos you release and work you do with TC! Enjoy time with your Mum! Love the hats.

I think you look great. Life is about learning and I don’t think you ever stop learning what you need to keep yourself happy and healthy. I recently went on antidepressants and gained a bunch of weight as a result. Which I’m not happy about it but I’m happier than I’ve ever been because I’m not as stressed or anxious. So you’re gonna get there. Don’t worry or try not to worry LOL.

Aww, you are lovely, Emma. I adore your videos, I love your mix of fun & truth - you are the real deal. (I was in Japan 4 yrs ago but didn’t know about you then otherwise would have said hello! 😉) keep on doing whatever you love, we are here for it! X

Big hugs and it's always nice to see you here on youtube, whenever! Never feel like you have to create or have to post, and def appreciate that you take breaks as you need them (will need to check out your twitch though!). You're a wonderful person, and I always enjoy watching your videos and appreciate what you share with us, whatever you decide to share. Sorry to hear you've been going through some things- we all do. Also, asian sizes are ridiculous- I'm a size s/m in Canada, (size 2-4 in dresses) and when I lived in Korea, I was regularly a L/XL in the clothing. Wishing you the best and that you find what works for you~

Glad to see you back and happy! You might want to give Gold Japan a try for clothes. I've had decent luck with them. Not sure if they're oshare enough, though.

Hi Emma, thanks for the update. Happy to see you are still doing fine. I would like to think Uniqlo do carry sizes for you. I am a large Asian man myself and I see that there is a lot of choices for me in my local Uniqlo. Not sure if Zara, H&M or Forever 21 still exists but my expat friends say they do carry plus size for western figures. Stay happy and strong, Emma.

We all love you Emma. As long as you are happy and doing well, that's all that's important. Always great to see any videos from you.

I just enjoy your content 😌 no pressure on personal stuff..been watching your videos for about a year now , love it...and I didn't know you were on twitch! So I'll be joining the fam. See you 👋

I really respect that you are able to set boundaries between sharing some of your life with all of us and keeping some stressful things personal!! Like the orange guy, it's great to just say "I Won't" haha. Thank you for the update ❤❤
