Mikan expressing her love to convenient stores and the word “convenient”
"Whaaat? It's almost like food has no gender!" made my day. Thank you for this very interesting video!
That was hilarious for sure, and really makes me wonder what Glico is thinking with Men's Pocky. Naturally, that's not the only example of gender branded food I can think of yet is certainly a prominent one.
I'm cracking up at the "ore no..." foods, masculinity so fragile lmao. Anyway, never thought I'd find this as interesting as I did, nice job Mikan!!!
Fax, like…are you really THAT scared to go to a bakery!? ☠️
If you were my history teacher I’d actually be able to learn smth KDKSKDJDJD love ur vids so much keep it up!!💕💕
So this was super interesting and informative and I think as a format it worked really well for you. I feel like for any youtuber the general rule should be: Is it interesting for you? If so, the passion will find its audience.
Sidenote: Had no idea convenient stores were so gender-oriented in their customer base. This was particularly fascinating and seemingly culturally unique to Japan (maybe not, idk)?
Such an interesting topic! I love all the random facts about convenience stores you shared.
“it’s almost as though food has no gender” i love this 😭❤️
Fun fact, the company I work for created a system for convenience stores that links past weather conditions to past sales on the PoS system, to develop a correlation between what products sell good in different weather; they then use that correlation to strategically stock up on certain items based on the weather forecast. We serve 100% of the convenience store market in Japan for weather services.
That IS a fun fact thank you for sharing!
This was very interesting! Love the lil commercials btw lol
Been trying to visit Japan for a few years now, and honestly I am so excited for the convenience stores. I think in a weird way you can learn a lot about a country and its culture from things like shops so I really enjoyed this video!
They're as good, if not better, than you think I promise!!
I like this style of video very much ! If you have time and energy to make more of them , I would happily watch them !
Omg love this kind of content!!
I loved this so much!! You have a really chill and pleasant way of presenting information. Hope to see more!!
This literally just began and I love it. You should totally make more videos on random Japanese [or just random anythings!] things you find interesting!:] I'm sure everyone's Google search is a bit random. I know mine is.
thank you for working so hard on this interesting video❤️ i wish i had something funny to say, but today was horrible, I'm just happy to see you posted today
Hope it’ll get better ❤️
This was such a well-researched video. I could really tell how much work went into it and would love to see more videos like this! (Taylor R has also started doing more local history/local tour guide videos, and they seem to be doing really good!)
I really like these kinds of videos. You make it all so interesting!
Mikan I've been watching you for years, I've seen the ups and downs and I must say this has been by far my favourite video you've made.
I think you're onto something, it so nice to see you happy again and really interested in makings videos
There was a time after you left Bunka that I really thought that was it.
Best of wishes from Ireland :)
YOUR HAIR IS SO PRETTY OMG
Yay! New Mikan video. I'll gladly enjoy it 🥺
😲 I would l o v e to see a Japan trivia/history series like this on your channel!
Mikan's way of explaining stuffs is good i really enjoyed the vid 😸👍 💓
Great and fun video! It was interesting to learn about how convenience stores are actually well...convenient in Japan haha. I live in Texas so hearing about 7-11 being started here was the first I've heard of it (not a native Texan). I swear they try so much harder outside of the States than in it at this point. I never go to 7-11 unless I'm desperate and at a pit stop on a road trip lol.
Really liking the different vibes of this video !
This is the kind of content I live for, random nuggets of knowledge about mundane, everyday things! Presented by someone who also cares about such stuff! Would love to see similar content in future!
Conbini are one of the things I miss the most when I leave Japan, especially Family Mart, so I adore this video!
All the info you had compiled was great! It’d be nice to see it interspersed more with your own footage of inside the store! For instance you mention seasonal products but don’t show any or give examples. You also could walk through some of your favorite goods and where they are in the store/how you first tried them/etc! Yay!
This was super interesting! I’d love to see another deep dive into a particular topic (anything you want!) if you would be willing to make it!
I liked this video and would love to learn more. The history of arcades? Maid cafes? Takeshita street? Vending machines??? So many possible subjects! 🤓
It feels weird not seeing sketchy weirdos on 7 Eleven Japan compared to my hometown
I really enjoyed this video, I never thought I could find convenient stores so interesting so I'm super happy I found this on my recommended! Really good presentation and very informative :)
THE MUSIC MAKES IT LIKE 10X BETTER YESSS
"Apparently at the start, they set themselves apart" I love this line! As well as the mini doco format. I really don't know how, but you made learning about convenience stores (which I dislike) interesting
YESSSS I LOVE KONBINI!!!! love this format!
really loved this video, as well as the one you did on the history of harajuku fashion! as an american that grew up around 7-eleven in Hawaii, I had no idea how much history actually was behind the innovation of convenience stores. would be awesome to see more of these from you, although I understand the research is very time consuming.
This was so interesting! Who knew I'd love to listen to the history of convenience stores. You should do more videos like this, it's really unique
Right!Ive been getting into these types of videos as well
This video is awesome! Totally new style with the information focused content but u did it so well.
Wow! This was well done Mikan!! Explaining the top 3 convenience stores rise to modern day society and the importance of convenience stores!
I don't know if you watched the [Begin Japanology] Season 6 EP29 : Convenience Stores video but it goes more in depth on how 7/11 got started (and tricked by Americans) by a few Japanese. 7/11 in America had a 100 volume manual and the Japanese thought it would be full of genius ideas but it was translated and they realized it was garbage so they worked really hard to make it work in Japan.
Such great information. And indeed, they are also helpful to people with a limited budged. Getting something cheap but also healthy was my top priority in my small trips in Japan.
This was a lovely video, so interesting and relaxing! A couple of years ago I read a book called Convenience Store Woman, which was about a Japanese woman who worked at a convenience store, defying cultural expectations that she study or have a more ambitious job or get married. It was very interesting - and it's a short book so I'd definitely recommend people read it
This is a bit of a departure for you Mikan. I'd personally love to see more documentary style content about Japan's recent (maybe even not-so-recent) history from you, if you're up for it :3 The presentation and the way you featured vintage clips very much reminded me of the channel The Company Man. Nice work! :D
interesting topic. would totally watch more videos like this one!
I really loved this style of video! You did such a great job with the research, organization, and presentation of this subject! Such an interesting topic that I've never seen covered! As always, your relaxed and bubbly style made this even more enjoyable to watch! Hoping to see more of these video essays from you in the future! Great job, Mikan!
9 dislikes??!? How... Do you dislike her video... 1 she's cute 2 she teaching us and shows us Japan and 3 she is a cat mom what's not to like... Mannn imagine disliking her video.. Smh
I love these types of videos. I could tell you really put a lot of effort into informing us and I learned something useful. Even your presentation sounds really nice and easy to follow. I hope you can share more unique topics in this format in the future.
Love this kind of content!
I’ve watched a lot of your videos for the cute factor but HOLY GUACAMOLE this is hands down my favorite video you’ve made!
I am studying Japanese so I can move there and eat at family mart every day 💙💚
i love this video essay format!!! 🥺 these are usually the type of videos i watch a lot too, so i was pleasantly surprised to see this in my subscriptions! great video!! 💗💗💗
I absolutely love this style of video and loved seeing your enthusiasm for the topic. I'd love to watch more videos like this Mikan!!
I love this style of video! And I love that I can tell you really enjoyed it the whole time as well.
This was surprisingly interesting 👍🏼 and I appreciate the unintentional rhymes 😆. I’m definitely open to seeing videos like this.
I didn't know i was gonna learn so much about convenient stores today. However, it was a fun video Mikan.
I love the vintage advertisement clips!
I love this so much!!!!! Definite yes to more videos like that that share more "niche" info you won't find often in other jp en-speaking youtuber vids!
Looooooved this! Was super informative without being being too heavy if you know what I mean? Would be more than happy to see more like this from you! Good job!!! 🥰🥰🥰
I absolutely thoroughly enjoyed this video and would love to see more like it from you! 🌸 It was so interesting and entertaining to watch! Thank you for putting so much time and effort into it, it really shone through ✨
wait this is such a cool video! I love this type of content
I enjoy these informative semi documentary type videos. Id love to learn more about Japan, as explained by you.
Love random stuff like this and learning about Japan
I LOVED this Mikan!! More "random topics you just had to look up" please
going to a konbini is like a kid in candy store... there are certain store branches in japan are large enough to have 2nd floor for indoor dining, resting area and more stuff like stationery, toiletries, certain clothing items for salarymen (or other people who stayed overnight and missed their last train) and laundry items..
This video was so cool! I’d love to see more videos like these, in-depth research into random topics 😂 you presented it very well!
Never knew I needed such an amazing history lesson
I really liked this style of video. The next time you fall down another rabbit hole, I'd be really interested to see a video about it! When we were in Japan we really liked the Lawson's by our apartment. We are really curious to try Family Mart on our next visit.
Wow Mikan. You can tell how hard you worked on this video. Very informative and interesting! Thaanks💗💗
I love these informative videos 💜🖤💜🖤
i dont know why this video was so interesting but it was the most informative 20 min video ive watched
LOVE THISSS WE NEED MORE LEARNING TIME WITH MIKAN VIDEOSSS 💅💖💖💖💖💖
this was conveniently convenient
This was such a fun and entertaining video I would definitely love to see more like this 💕💕
omg I actually love this vid!! great job Mikan!
Really loved this video. Family mart was my favorite when I lived in Japan
Yes yes yes I would love watching more videos like this !!
so THAT'S where that triangle onigiri thing came from😮 literally one of the greatest inventions of all time lol
I have to say, this is not the type of video that I expected from you since you normally do fashion and lifestyle. You did such a great job researching the topic and it’s clear that you care a lot about what you were talking about. I love seeing the side of your content, it’s really interesting and it shows that you have the ability to make deep dive videos. I think if you make more videos like this in the future it will really help diversify your content!!!
Very interesting! Would love this to be a series ♥️
Please make more videos like these! They are so educational :)
Yes!! More history!!
I really loved this video! I would love to see more like this, from you - I think your beautiful voice is very suited to narration :)
I'd love to see more occassional videos like this!!
New to the channel but already in love. Can’t wait to watch more.
We Stan video essay Mikan!!!! More more more
Mikaaaan! This was awesome! Please do more research-type videos like these.
I loved this different deep dive-y kind of video from you! Would love to see more in the future ❤️
Really appreciate the effort you made ! 💕 always wanted to know more about convenient stores in Japan
Very informative! I love any videos that teach me something new about Japan. Great job!
みかん what the heck, this is such a great video! More history lessons, please! I don't know why am I so surprised by the flawless presentation haha, good job!
I enjoyed this, Thanks! I’m in NJ and I typically go to Quick Chek or Wawa which are 7Eleven’s competitor. Interesting to see how well it thrives in a different country 👍🏻
Love this style of Video! More please! ✨😍
