"I'm Your Daughter!" | Surprising My Family After 7 Years in Japan

- I've been living and working in Japan for 7 years now. The last time I visited my family was for a funeral 3 years ago, and only for 2 weeks. Last year I decided to surprise my family by visiting them in the US. They had NO IDEA!
*This video was originally posted on my other channel. I moved it to here. :)

I love that your uncle sounded so happy that lots of people didn't know, he felt he was extra special.
He was!
@@mandyellis876 i just watched it again. I love your uncle
I screamed-- he's so giddy, I love it
@@NoodlesMusings he wasn’t my uncle, he was someone else’s. But his reaction was fab!
My Japaniece
"Japa-niece" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I loved it, love these old style jokes only older men do 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 maybe because I'm 46? 😂
That was too funny and cute !!!! Unc is 💯
#unclejokes 😂😂😂😂
The best international dad joke ever
It was nice
naw, that joke a legit classic.
Uncle WAS F’N GREAT!!!!! Absolutely ADORBS!
He's the best, right!!!
@@EnimsLifeinJapan yes he is and I just found your page and I immediately subscribed....
@@tita8202 Thank you so much! :D
I did the same thing as Ti Ta !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
His Japa-niece...so sweet 💕💕💕
Your mum and dad may no longer be together. But they're still connected by their epic level of home security! 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 this was hilarious!!
FR
Your uncle is so freakin awesome... "my japan-iece" was top tier a dad joke.
that had me rolling.
Justin's reaction was the most honest reaction I've ever seen in this type of videos, that's how real brothers should act haha
💀💀💀💀
They are like : wow we miss you but I don't really care.
im an older brother and thats how my older brother acts and also how me and my little sister act towards each other. I haven't seen each other for over a year (me and my little sister) but later this month she's coming over for her birthday and we're probably gonna act like we don't care when we do actually miss each other 💀
It’s not how they should act lol
@@Hexharlow yeah if I saw my brother after three years I would go crazy
First uncle's reaction is a whole vibe 🤣 your bros reaction was totally, 1,000% typical brother behavior 🤣 and your parents are totally me. Mom & dad were both VERY cautious about opening the door🤣
HAHAHAHAHA
Im not surprised...You all live in the United States!
Your grandma when you asked her who she was and she said “I’m me.” 😂 That cracked me up. I’m glad you got to see them after so many years apart.
that was actually elite 🤣
😂🖤
The way her uncle greets her in Japanese is absolutely wholesome
Your uncle is HILARIOUS 😂 😄
He is, right?!! 😂
“Let’s go drinking.” 😂😂
"This is my japa-niece"
Love it! 😂
YOUR UNCLE IS THE MOST PRECIOUS HUMAN IVE EVER SEEN IM LITERALLY BURSTING INTO TEARS WHAT IS THIS
Ditto 😍 rip to my dear uncle that was my Everything 😇
I love you lol. You've spelled it out 😂
Same. He understood everything in life.
Uncle saying "ok, so a lot of people don't know" he was giddy to know you thought so highly of him that he was one of the firsts.....what a special moment!!
Your uncle was spontaneous he was truly authentic lovely sweet person 😘
"Well let's go drinkin!" is the ideal response to seeing an uncle for the first time in a while.
As an African watching this, I can say even though you're American, this is so African. In most African societies and cultures, it's not a visit if it's not a surprise. Africans love surprise visits from relatives. It offers occasions for celebration and more joy.
When an African relative offers advance notice that they are visiting, you worry that maybe something has happened, that there may be a family problem they wish to discuss.
I guess I am that one African who doesn't like surprises! I hate anyone showing up unannounced, detest it. I'd never do that to anyone as well, I announce in advance
@@NimonaRocks Yes, there will always be exceptions to general and cultural norms. There are TH-cam videos by some African introverts discussing what a challenge it can be SOMETIMES as an introvert in African societies.
Yep, we Irish are the same.
@@NimonaRockssame I’d want to clean the place before they arrive and set up a room for them to stay (if they’re going to be staying at my place) and buy a gift for them
Visit doesn’t mean imposing themselves and staying at your home. Visit means I come surprise you maybe have a meal together then I leave because I don’t live in peoples houses other than the home I grew up in, lol at least that’s my version of surprise
I just don't understand how come they weren't more excited to see you, like uncle number one was...
My first uncle is my partner in crime. We've done a lot together! :D My other uncle was always away when I was growing up so we're not as close at all. My dad doesn't show much emotion and my other family members just didn't recognize me. They were in complete disbelief. 😅
@@EnimsLifeinJapan OOOOHH, now I see! Thank you for clearing that up for me. 💜✨️❤️
You can clearly see the absolute shock they all thought they had gone crazy
i like how your uncle, instead of wondering "why is a camera there", he thought "dang that's a nice camera"
HE RECOGNIZED HER SOOO QUICKLY BECAUSE SHE LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE HIM!!!💯👑🥰🥰🥰
Surprising people is so much fun
It is!! :D
As an Italian, it seems so strange, seeing a dear family person, after so many years, not kiss her and hug her vigorously!
.... and of course immediately after at the table to eat! 😂
As an African, I concur with you. There would be lots of hugging , kisses and in a matter of hours there would be a party with aunts, uncles, cousins and neighbours, and lots of food!😂😂😂
My ltalian friend kissed me on both cheeks after a few months of not seeing each other I almost froze😂😂😂 am not a physical person.
@@Myvillageheaven that’s our red flag 😬 we have so much physical communication here and sometimes we don’t even think that there are people who are not used to it. We even kiss and hug strangers
same in the deep south
@@teejayangel6638maybe I'm weird, but I'm African, and physical touch is not a thing in my family lol
The first uncle seems like such a pure spirit
As someone with 6 siblings, your brother's reaction is genuine. xD
I love how quick her uncle launched to hug her!❤
This popped up on TH-cam. Sweet video. NO idea who these people are, but what a lovely family.
Heartwarming and adorable. I’m sure you speak with them often even though you’re in Japan. I’m in Japan as well military wife. I don’t think you’re selfish but protective of your mental health. I haven’t live home since 09’., when we were stationed there but I do visit, or they would come where we are to visit for a weekend. Living near family can be overwhelming when everyone is pulling you in different directions. It causes me anxiety and a feeling of anxiousness, so going on my own time and living states over is good for mental wellbeing .
100% this! I talk to them very often, but we don't show affection so much...which I'm learning is not normal....? 😅 Yes, when I'm back home everyone is very dependent on each other, so much so I can't think. There are so many distractions. I have learned I have to prioritize my mental health, like you said.
You may have issues
@@EnimsLifeinJapan I think families not showing affection towards one another in the form of hugs and saying i love you isn't as unnormal as you think. As a Brit our family don't do it and most of my friends are the same. I think it's probably a generation thing too me and my friends are late 30's .
@@angelahunter5954 Sounds to me like she solved her issues even if it's in a way that random youtube commentor disapproves of. #onelife
You are beautiful and have a beautiful family! Love all of their reactions! 😂❤
Thank you so so much! :D
I know this is silly but, I just lost my dog after 13 years together. It's day 2 without him and life is empty. Found this video via the algorithm. Jasmine, your smile and warmth and love was greatly needed this morning. I'll bet when you made this you had no idea it would bring and old lady such joy. You have a wonderful family. God bless you all.
I hopefully feel better
I wish you the best. I hope you managed to get through these last two months as well as possible!
I can’t imagine not seeing my family for 7 years. Glad she is finally seeing them!
Me, too. I just don't know how people go that long without seeing family, especially their parents, but to each his own.
Too cute! Your Uncle had the best reaction.
I used to surprise my mom every year and go back home to visit. She'd always cry for the first 10 mins. This made me miss her so. Your uncle is how my mom always acted. Loved him ❤❤
That's so sweet ❤ Whenever I visit my mother her first words are 'what you wanting?' 😂
First uncle was a whole vibe ! ❤
That's a great UNCLE
liek fr
Aww the dads visit at 6:00 and the moms at 4:05 is so heartwarming 😢
The way you hugged your mom then ran into her house 😭
Waiting on mom like that is a universal experience I swear 🤣 this whole thing was so sweet
Her brothers reaction was sad. I would have been low key hurt 😂
I mean she’s been gone for a very long time. He was probably young so he wouldn’t feel much attachment to her.
A long day at work. Don't read so much into it!
At 2:08, your uncle calling you his "Japan Niece" was really a good one. Then, your brother was all lost and confused! Your mom was so surprised too! The family bonds are truly awesome to watch!
Your uncle is a gem💜😂😂.Great vibe
You have a lovely family. Sorry about your Grandma, my mother had Alzheimer's and she completely forgot who I was in the end. It was the most heartbreaking thing I have ever gone through. Cherish what you have, while you have it. This made me smile, thanks.
When I’d go home as a surprise, it always bugged my mother no end that my granny with dementia would immediately recognise me and start talking appropriately as if we were in the middle of a conversation and I’d just stepped out of the room for a moment. Meanwhile, my mother was dealing with granny day to day and didn’t enjoy such lucid conversations.
I love how you can hear in you cadence that you’ve been in Japan for a while😂
I can see why you love your uncle so much
The bond with your uncle seems unforgettably precious. He was ecstatic, and it was kind of adorable when he was poking to see if anyone else knew, that seemed to make him giddy haha.
“I’m me”, that melted my heart when you’re grandma said that
I loved 🥰 UNCLES heartfelt REACTION. The culture shock was probably huge. I loved this… stay safe and positive. Sending you hugs and blessings, enjoy mom while you have the opportunity. I miss my mom daily now. 🙋🏻♀️🙏🏽
That "Come Here " from her mom melted my heart ❤❤ she was so happy to see her
Except for 7 years lol
Unc's got jokes! Japan-niece ---- Really? That's so bad it's actually good. Okay, dammit ---- you got me ---- gonna "black-bell-sub" right now. [Love the "Star Trek" reference. For obvious reasons.]
I just reunited with my uncle who was like a second father to me my whole life. Hadn’t seen him in like 10-11 years. When he opened the door, I sobbed and cried in his arms like a baby and he was right there wailing with me lol I’ve never heard him cry like that 🥹🩵
Best feeling ever. Love my Unc.
YOUR UNCLE IS SO SO SWEETTT!! His little initial disappointment for a split second thinking you came back for awhile and only now going to see him but then he registered what you said about most people not knowing you're back and that you just got back and how his face lit up in excitment and went in for another hug. You and your uncle are so so precious!
She said she loved her uncle so much in the car and I thought maybe we would get back story on that but then like 10 seconds later we got to meet him and now I totally understand 😅
I enjoyed this, how your brother was at work waiting for his ride, that's how my daughter is. She's not letting anyone in after closing hours and trying to avoid eye contact at all costs. Lol, and you're lucky I'm not your mom because you would've had to come clean, or you would've been standing out there all night😩 I'm not opening my door for anyone. 😝🤣I thought you were going to tell her that she needed to sign for the package. That was an awesome surprise 😁🤗
Your Mom was too cute! ❤️Hilarious, but cute! 😂 Your video made me laugh & smile. Thank you for sharing! 🥰🥰
She is literally the sweetest person on earth
Your knock is so polite! I call it the ごめん knock. I love your family. Your uncle cracks me up.
Your uncle gave great vibes of love. He recognized you and he loves you
I can see why's you love your Uncle. He seems like a sweet, funny, fun to hang out with kind of guy. Protector too. I can't believe the rest of your family doesn't recognize you but then again if they think you are far away then they aren't expecting you. As they are thinking "who is this", you aren't in their mind if someone that would be there. Once that thing clicks in the brain it's like a light bulb turning on. Blink! Lol. Must be hard being away from family.
That uncle was so precious ❤
I know your mom. I worked with her at BLM. Awesome. Glad to see she is doing well.
Never understand how people don't recognize thier own family members. They have the same facial features since they were kids. I recognize people I haven't seen in almost 20 years.
Dude how adorable can you be?
SHE IS BEAUTIFUL
So beautiful in every way 💓
Thank you so much 😊
The uncle tho❤ That’s how my grandma and I vibe. 🤍
You're uncle is such a legend. I'd go drinking with him whenever
Omg the moment her and her uncle embraced. The tears came rolling down. My mouth smiled ear to ear. I love, this stuff.
Last time i saw my dad I was 2 and i instantly recognized him when I saw him. It's crazy how blood really is thicker than water
No it's the connection that makes you bond....not blood type.
your mom's reaction made me cry bro a beautiful loving mom!!
I found you video randomly, but I started crying since the first surprise with uncle. I loved it. Thanks for sharing those moments. Btw we share similar names!
well the gorgeous gene definitely runs in your family! this was so cute omg. love your Uncle's reaction.
So sweet. U r a lucky girl and…they r lucky to have you! Blessings to all!
She’s too stinking adorable. And such a sweet family, I loved the uncle.
Her brother was cold as fuck along with the last uncle if I haven’t seen my family in one day and when I do see them the next time we are for sure happier than a few of her family members but the first uncle was so dam happy.
Did you not hear the "WTF" ? From the Brother?? As a Black person, that’s More than everything we could say.
@@Sir_BoazMutatayi oh yeah you were right I didn’t even realize he said that dam I’m slow as fuck Lol .
she was gone 7yrs, he would have been a child, why should he care lol. they didnt even recognise her voice, so i guess she does call home much either, Cring
The last uncle has alzheimers
@@IcuTapIcuGrandma has Alzheimers. The last uncle was just chill lol :))
This was amazing, your family is precious ,
my heart cant take this mannnn this is so wholesome and genuine
SCREAMINGGG I LOVE YOUR UNLCE’S ENERGY💕💕💕
Your brother was like…oh…hi. 😂😂 awwww. Hope it was just shock and he cared a lot more than he showed it lol. Your uncle showed the best reaction. I actually kinda felt sad for you that the others were so low energy after than many yrs lol. But I’m sure they loved to see you regardless!
brother looks young. if he is 17 for example, she left when he was 10yrs old.
@@aitinsights true. But still lol. I've seen videos where young kids don't see a family member for a while and still jump into their arms, if not more than someone older would. Maybe they're just not close at all. 🤷🏽♀️
i can see why you would think that, but personally i know that in my family nobody has that type of energy to start jumping and exclaiming, unless we're seeing our pets. but we are all tired often and sarcastic, but still ride or die for each other, and we try to show in our actions since we aren't really shiny or excitable people
uncle and your relationship speaks for itself. The reaction he gave was so ginuwine.
Your mother is so beautifully 😍
This was such a beautiful experience, thank you and congratulations!
Wow... This was so wholesome and joyful, I'm speechless, lots of love for you and your family !
Idk why you and your family give me tmnt vibes. Just wholesome, loving, slightly goofy chaotic love.
So heartwarming such a blessed family ❤❤❤
What a very beautiful family. I loved the mum's reaction at the door.
you have a beautiful family, thank you for sharing these moments with us :)
I just love your family! All of them!
It's so wholesome seeing you and your family reunite!
I just I just want to say that was so heartwarming I'm glad to see The Smiling Faces of your family and you have a blessed one continue with your success
Love your mums reaction ❤❤❤❤
they are so cute their reactions!!!!
Now I know why you love your uncle so much! He was genuinely surprised and shocked to see you! ❤
You’re uncle seems like the coolest guy around
Your family is so beautiful!!!! The energy and the unity are so gratifying!!! God bless this family!!
I miss travelling so much. The trees in Japan are simply breathtaking also your family seems so wonderful and sweet. I love your mum's reaction. What a sweet lady. Great video once again :D
You are such a great beautiful person, your parents raise you well
Haha your uncle is a wonderful character of a man. Great lively personality.
How you cope being away from your family for so many years?
I'm selfish. 😅 I wholeheartedly believe in taking care of one's wellbeing before even trying to help someone else. Otherwise, you're a group of half empty cups and everyone pouring what little they have to the next person. My family is amazing, but I thrive in unknown environments. I mentally suffered a lot when in my hometown and never had the time or space to heal because everyone was always contacting me for the smallest things. I personally think everyone should be more selfish, but there are different types selfishness. I respect other's opinions on this matter too though.
@@EnimsLifeinJapan Well said ❤💯
@@EnimsLifeinJapan I wanna just take off but I don’t know if where I’m going is better
@@JimmNeutricity😉 bring the happiness, joy, and adventure with you and everywhere you go will be better….because you’re there.
Perfect answer. ❤
that is the only way a uncle should react❤❤❤
Your smile and love for life are so special; Thank you for sharing Ms. J!
Your uncle practically FLEW ❤
I travelled a lot as a kid! So this was special to me! I love surprises. This was sweet! Enjoyed the joy!
