Tofugu Comments: Use Mixi.jp to improve your Japanese (and make some friends, too!)

  • SteveBried · 6 months ago
    This is the sort of succinct, thorough and highly useful article I love to find. I'm a relatively new student of Nihongo, and Mixi caught my interest in all the ways you mentioned it can be helpful to students of Japanese. So, I'd love an invite to Mixi, if you'd be so kind? I anticipate difficulty at first, and perhaps for many months, but eventually it could prove to be an invaluable tool in connecting with Japanese friends. So thanks in advance, and kudos for an excellent article. I wish I'd found it sooner.

    Cheers,
    Steve

    And you have a Japanese cell phone e-mail?
  • SteveBried · 6 months ago
    Hey Koichi, thanks for getting back to me so quickly! I know you're busy. Yes, I have an ezweb address. Can you send the invitation to my gmail and I'll just sign up with my ezweb email? Thanks again. Cheers.
  • Erin · 1 year ago
    Aw, that's really sweet that you translated the whole front page. Having that many open layers on Photoshop would drive me crazy D: Anyway, don't think I'll get a mixi anytime soon. Do you think Fujiwar would let me turn mixi-ing into an independent study, though? I bet she would.

    too bad she's not around anymore. I bet loftus would, though. I bet he has a mixi. I gotta look him up.
  • Viet · 1 year ago
    In for one..

    Hey, is that your yakuza friend in your profile pic?
  • fredy · 1 year ago
    Mixi! I remember seeing MySpace in Japanese and then stickam. Seems like this article took a long time. Nice! Thanks as well. Not sure if I could use mixi. It's not likely. Would be cool though. I saw that dictionary and was surprised that I saw it before! Well, hope it helps a bunch of people!
  • WOTDsctoo · 1 year ago
    Nice article.
    I've never posted here...but I would love an invite to Mixi if possible!

    Thanks, koichi.
  • Marc · 1 year ago
    Did you ever receive my post on http://www.tofugu.com/2007/06/17/are-you-a-j-do... ?

    How do people react to those who are still learning Japanese? Constructive criticism on how to improve, or do they just respond to what you said if they understand?
  • Blair W. · 1 year ago
    I'm applying for the JET Program and have been following your site as a way to get insight to Japanese culture and have used your insight in my language self-study. This Mixi thing sounds interesting, and I would appreciate an invite if possible. Thanks.
  • Nicholas · 1 year ago
    Yeah, I've known about mixi but...i don't know any Japanese people (Personally) and i Suck at making friends over the internet. otherwise i'd be on this in an instant! i like to journal...or just plain old write...:)
  • Nicholas · 1 year ago
    oh.. and plus... hopefully some one can answer my question...I can form some sentences, but i'm sure some people(myself included) would sometimes be lazy and use a text translator to write in Japanese...
    How do those things sound like? like if i was to translate something with those, what would it end up sounding like in Japanese? (Horrible?) I know its hard to translate Japanese into English without human imagination, but what about the other way around....

    Sorry for the long comment... :)
  • koichi · 1 year ago
    @Nicholas
    They make you sound like a robot (and mess up your words a lot). Best not to use them.

    @WOTD & Blair
    Invited you both

    @Marc
    Ah, yeah, it looks like that post got caught in the spam feed. In response to your question, most Japanese think it's amazing if you can say a couple of words, and because of this, they are impressed with everything, even if it stinks. That's why you have to find someone mean or check yourself.
  • Lisa · 1 year ago
    "I always get confused because real names are not displayed (just nicknames) and the images above them are of kittens and ferris wheels."
    Haha~ I always get confused here too! Especially when they use random celebrities' photos.

    I actually got a mixi several months ago, but I never started actively using it until recently. You've helped explain quite a bit with this article! I think I'm still much more comfortable with facebook (despite the plethora of applications..) but mixi's growing on me :)

    It's just so weird that there's no wall to write on! But I'm getting used to that too. No wonder, then, that journal writing is the focus - that's where people comment and interact, I suppose.

    Erin, you should get a mixi :D
  • frychiko · 1 year ago
    I'm not into chat programs or online communities and whatnot but that was some awesome information there about Mixi. Once my Japanese gets better I might consider joining.

    Incidently, I just found out about your blogs last week through a link at Japan Probe, and I must say this is the most entertaining blog I've ever read! I especially like to watch your videos. Keep it up!

    I don't need a mixi invitation btw.
  • koichi · 1 year ago
    @viet
    yep, that's the one. He's the guy who was dating that girl who's in a motorcycle gang (among others at the same time, as well). He's a crazy frood, for sho.

    @Lisa
    Yeah, the celebrity pictures are the ones that throw me for the biggest loop. I should have thought of that one, besides the trains, rainbows, and helium balloons that litter the other 75% of profile images.

    @FryChiko
    Whoa, wait, what? There was a link of us on Japanprobe?? Where'd you find that? (and double-thank you for the compliments too!)
  • frychiko · 1 year ago
    Koichi,

    There's like a latest headlines section at the top at Japanprobe and there was a link to your how to play ufo catcher article there sometime last week. (if memory serves correctly..)
  • koichi · 1 year ago
    Interesting - didn't even know we showed up on that list. Thanks for letting me know!
  • Jamaipanese · 1 year ago
    wow great read, my limited japanese is nowhere near the level to use a wonderful site like this, but I hope you use this site in the near future.
  • Idan · 1 year ago
    Hey,
    I would love to be able to make Japanese friends,
    I don't know much of Japanese, but i think i am getting the hang of it :)

    Most of Japanese people i spoke to lately on MSN were a little confused and not very talkative, so i hope ill have a better experience here :)

    Sorry for long post,
    Thanks in advance,
    Idan
  • Onimusha Nosferatu · 1 year ago
    mixiはちょっと難しいと思う。友達がいるけど喋らないでいます。だめだ。the traffic button is so freaky. i end up playing profile tag. haha.
  • miss anon · 8 months ago
    hehe profile tag is fun, and profile tag can look like you are stalking. i feel scared to look at some peoples profiles too many times because of it, even if they have super interesting journals.
  • Irene · 1 year ago
    お願いします :)
  • Brian · 1 year ago
    hm..Mixi. sounds interesting. I could practice my reading japanese on it. if only I was invited............
  • Sandra · 1 year ago
    Oh.My.God! I've always wanted to join ミクシィ!!!
    I would really love to be invited (^_^)v
    ありがとうございます~
  • kevinnwhat · 1 year ago
    woo mixi account, ill make one some time this week when i have time, and i lol, i started dying laughing when i came to "everyone is paranoid" hahah
  • Lior Gradstein · 1 year ago
    Hi Koichi,

    I would be really happy if you could invite me on Mixi, I'm trying to find someone that can invite me for quite some time now :-(

    ありがとう!
  • WOTDsctoo · 1 year ago
    Koichi,

    Thanks so much for the invite!


    ありがとう!!
  • Eevee · 1 year ago
    This looks like an awesome website. I would join but I just got into Facebook! xD
    Maybe someday when I'm a bit more advanced in writing in Japanese... or even when I'm living in Japan, this would be nice. ^^ Awesome article anyways. Thanks for the translations as well!
  • JohtoKen · 1 year ago
    Is it okay if I can become a member on Mixi? I've been sort of catching on with my kanji-a-day segments on my blog.
  • Brian · 1 year ago
    yup. Thanks for the invite koichi.

    I'd start using it now...but im off to school
  • gerbyl · 1 year ago
    hi I just stumbled over tofugu a few days ago (through one of your yt vids), and practically spend my japanese study breaks here reading through several articles. I didn't comment before, cause I get easily distracted and when I suddenly saw another article title in the sidebar I'm like "oh what's this *clicks*">.<. I'm bad with getting distracted.
    Anyway, I'm keeping a Livejournal and also have a myspace and was kinda looking for a japanese version of those things, that's why I was happy to see and read through this article. thanx for explaining and talking us through the whole site with pics even.
    I'm still on a beginner level regarding japanese (I force myself to spend studying for at least 3 hours a day though, i tend to get a bit uber-ambitious some days), but I'm already used to read hiragana/katakana and some kanji as well as having worked through almost half of my grammar and vocab study book. So I'm really interessted in getting into Mixi, to use it as another source to practise my japanese more as well as to maybe succeed in making friends with people. In other words....I'd love and invitation,...... please.
  • Sarra · 1 year ago
    arigato ^^
  • JohtoKen · 1 year ago
    Sadly, I'm not 18 and over...so what do I do? Am I busted or anything?
  • koichi · 1 year ago
    do you have to be 18 or over to join? I bet you could just fudge your birthday if that's the case
  • kakutaisan · 1 year ago
    Sounds interesting, I have used Myspace and Facebook before but have not tried Mixi. I would appreciate an invitation to practice my Japanese. Thanks!
  • Sarki · 1 year ago
    Hi there! Pretty interesting article and website too! I didn't know about it, sorry >__<. But I think that I could be able to do some stuff there so...Well, it'd be cool if you could send me one ^_^

    Thanks ^_^'
  • Ann · 1 year ago
    Sounds pretty interesting, they all actually listen to their parents!?!? GASP! Strange and alien territory here.. LOL! xD! I guess the selectivity is actually a good thing I really can't stand staying on MySpace longer than it takes to check the occasional email. Regardless, this should be interesting. And if you get to avoid the OMFGSMEXNOW! people, its sooo worth it.
  • Jeff · 1 year ago
    wow, i have to say, this site is really great! im planning to minor in japanese, so a lot of these tools will be really usefull! would it be possible for me to get an invite to mixi?
  • Nick · 1 year ago
    hum. if i can get around Stickam.jp i sould be able to navigate Mixi!
    An invitation would be cool...it would be great actually.

    Arigatou Koichi!
  • Chimiko · 1 year ago
    I want a mixi account, but I'm not really sure I'll use it to it's full potential ie reading and writing. I don't think I'll be able to make friends on it, but it wouldn't hurt to get an account. Please Koichi? Thank you!
  • Angelina C. · 1 year ago
    i would love an account also. i need to work on my nihongo. exams are coming up.
  • Cherry · 1 year ago
    This sounds cool. Add me please.
  • Simon · 1 year ago
    I've always want to test my Japanese skills, An invite would be Awesome :P thanks
  • aliene · 1 year ago
    Oh it's nice that it's by invitation only! It is probably a great way to surround yourself with the language, though like you said, getting people to friend you is probably the toughest part!
  • Catch22 · 1 year ago
    Hey Koichi,

    This is really cool. I was born in India, lived in USA, now moved to Australia when I
    got married to my vietnamese wife, and our dream is to spend a whole year in Japan.
    Why japan ? I have always been been fascinated by Japan, probably started after I
    read all the James Clavells novels. Anyway, I have been trying hard to learn japanese
    on my own - and can now read and write hiragana/katakana, and very very little Kanji :)
    I can even translate J-drama to my wife when we download an episode without subtitles.

    Anyway .... pls pls pls .. do send me an invite - I am very excited about the whole mixi culture :)

    Thanks,
    Catch22

  • kevinnwhat · 1 year ago
    Koichi i received the e-mail, except all the typing was in characters like this "!@#@!#@#%$#^%" and weird stuff, i have all east asian languages installed on my computer, and im able to in japanese characters. Does anyone know why this happens when i get something written in japanese in yahoomail? Do i have to enable something in yahoomail or mozilla or soemthing, i can read japanese characters everywhere else but i cant receive mail. If anyone can help i'd appreciate it.
  • Viet · 1 year ago
    @kevinnwhat

    Your web browser's encoding setting is probably set wrong. Do the following (I'm assuming you are using Firefox):

    1) View > Character Encoding
    2) Select Unicode (UTF-8)

    If that doesn't work, try the selecting the other character encodings.
  • bbbb04 · 1 year ago
    Hey Koichi, I'd really appreciate an invite

    So if you could spare some time to send me one I'd really appreciate it :)

    Cheers.
  • kevinnwhat · 1 year ago

    thank you, my encoding was on the utf-8, but i had to put it on japanese, thank you

  • kevinnwhat · 1 year ago
    thanks for the invite, ill be registering soooooooooooon. kinda busy now :( Btw i used your idea (or advice) about reading articles for practice. I used to just translate alot of songs, but some songs are really hard and well in songs you dont even have to say completel sentences or anything. So i been reading japanese articles, working out alot better lol. thank youuuuuuuuuu
  • Sarki · 1 year ago
    thank you very much for the invitation!!
  • Chris · 1 year ago
    Hahaha, I wonder if you all (Koichi & Co.) expected such a huge reaction to this mixi post? So many people asked for invites... it's almost like you're sneaking gaijin illegally into Japan.
  • クリストフアー · 1 year ago
    ( ´ ▽ ` )ノ タダイマァ
    I just finally got done catching up on all the articles you posted from Christmas and the New Year. I've been on vacation for 3 weeks without a computer and I was going nuts not being able to get online. But anyways, I think you mentioned ミクシィ a while ago back on your older website, before you decided to make Tofugu. I took a look at the site before, but I didn't understand anything back then. It has been a couple months now from when I started learning Japanese seriously, and I think I feel comfortable enough to try out ミクシィ.

    クリスでございます~!

    " it’s almost like you’re sneaking gaijin illegally into Japan."

    @Chris
    lol that comparison completely cracked me up!

    Hmm anyone else who joined through Koichi's invitations want to friend each other so we can get started?
  • koichi · 1 year ago
    If you are going to become friends with each other, you need to figure out what your URL is, which can be found the following way:

    Under your profile picture, click on the thing that says (in katakana) "profile."

    Then, up at the top of the page there should be something that says "here is your URL," or something to that effect. Anyways, there is a URL up there that you have to share with people, or they won't really be able to find you. For example, mine is:

    http://mixi.jp/show_friend.pl?id=7610926

    You have to be logged in to see it.
  • クリストフアー · 1 year ago
    If anyone wants to add me my URL is:
    http://mixi.jp/show_profile.pl?id=16257863

    PS: I think I spent almost 30 minutes deciding which area I was from for my profile. There wasn't an option for California, so I opted for Tokyo lol (Typical)

    Thanks for the invite!

  • Kirby · 1 year ago
    Damn it Koichi, you're making me want to learn Japanese. Bah, I dunno. I have no reason to learn it, besides music/anime (which isn't enough at all). But you make it so convenient. ):
  • クリストフアー · 1 year ago
    @Kirby:

    No reason to learn it? Even if you think you won't have a chance to use it in your lifetime, it's still something nice to learn just to have a sense of culture and knowledge of another country. I actually found a good use today when I went to the Museum of Contemporary Arts in little Tokyo (Los Angeles) to check out the artwork of 村上隆 (Murakami Takashi). He incorporated a couple hidden messages in his artwork, and I guess I felt a little special because when I found them, I was able to read and translate (still a little sketchy on the kanji though). Even one of the tour guides ask me a question about how to say something in Japanese (She was asking me how to say "Why" and how to read a certain caption on one of his works) but none the less, I felt a sense of usefulness. It may seem like nothing, but eh, it made my day go by easier.

    I'm just wondering if I could have an invite? It'd be really helpful to join and hopefully get more Japanese reading practice -- it sounds like a really cool site. Please and thank you! ^^
  • Haf · 1 year ago
    Hi there, I was also wondering if you could give me an invite. I'm living in Saitama-ken, doing an internship and although I know a few Japanese people, I feel to awkward at the moment to ask them about such a thing as we don't know each other for that long.
    This may sound strange in comparison that I ask a total stranger now, I realize that, but that's how I feel about it. ;)
  • Lolipop · 1 year ago
    I just found this blog and saw this. I'd tried getting in invite from a friend of mine, but he couldn't get it to work. I figure even if no one reads my blog there, writing it would help me use the Japanese I'm learning, and get it stuck in my head some more. If you have time one day and could drop me an invite it would make my day (and Japanese practice)
  • Kai Carver · 1 year ago
    I'd like an invite too... I am not worthy... I don't speak Japanese... but I'd like to learn, at least to decipher the kanas (I know a little Chinese).

  • クリスといます · 1 year ago
    yeah... so about the paranoia thing... i have met many people that "want to learn english" that live in my prefecture, in my same town even, that are not interested in having face to face conversations whatsoever. It tries my patience sometimes , i have told a few people to get lost when i spend 45 minutes typing ONE paragraph in japanese just to have them respond a few days later with: Hi. How are you. Please tell me in english. xD still, once i get their overly polite reply i cant help but laugh! mixi is great fun.
  • M_Argerich · 1 year ago
    hey koichi! a school friend introduced me to your site, and since he did i've been looking through all of the information that you talk about in reference to japanese culture. it has been quite interesting and extremely informative, which is very helpful to me because i've been taking japanese for about 5 years now and the books we've used (adventures in japanese, and genki vol. 2) seem a little dated as far as their coverage of culture in japan. thanks so much for your information ^_^ *alsoooo, an invite to mixi would be really cool, so that i can further keep myself updated on the japanese language and culture :)*

    I've taken a few semesters of Japanese and plan to study abroad in Osaka next year. I just found the site and I've loved looking through everything. I'd like an invite to mixi just so I can get a better grasp of the culture that I will soon come face-to face with.

    Keep up the good work! =D

  • RimDot · 1 year ago
    Love the site guys. I would really appreciate an invite also. I'd also like to thank you for taking the time to invite everyone.

    Question. How is the grammar on a site like this? Is it anything like the terrible excuse for English you would see on a MySpace?
  • koichi · 1 year ago
    haha, yeah, certainly not the best grammar. Sending your invite now.
  • ka-to · 1 year ago
    are the invites still available? not to sign up, and then immediately ask for an invite, but....

    おねがい〜
  • ka-to · 1 year ago
    if people are still having trouble using mixi, all those translation sites butcher it. however, if you are a firefox user, Rikaichan is *amazing* at helping figure out all those kanji I don't already know.

    http://www.polarcloud.com/rikaichan/

    easy to setup and use.. just hover over a kanji or word you don't know and it pops up a window with definitions and pronunciation (in kana... romaji sucks ass.).
  • Nici · 1 year ago

    Yeah, I need to ask my penpal if she has a mixi, and then get an invite...it would be cool if I could surprise her on there......I'll be a mixi ninja, freaking the crap out of my penpal by popping up one day while she's online.....>.>
    But yeah, just wondering if you're giving out invites, because i'd like one! ^_^

    I stumbled upon tofugu today because of the cute kid in the panda hat on YouTube... so I'm not a devoted patron just yet, but I've been trying to find a way to get invited to mixi for sometime now and would appreciate an invite if you manage to get to the bottom of the list.

    Thanks (^_^)
  • Caroline · 1 year ago
    Hello! I am actually a beginner at Japanese (only on my second semester of it in college), but I do know hiragana and katakana well. (I'm working on the kanji.) I've had a number of people recommend it to me, but I've had no way to get on! So, I was wondering if I could get an invitation. It would be much appreciated. =D Thank you!

    Yay, for google stumble which lead me to tofugu!
  • Stephanie · 1 year ago
    I know that this article was written a while ago but I would really like to have an invite to mixi. I've been trying to find ways to practice Japanese since I am in the process of learning at college and I am intending on becoming an East Asian Studies major. I want to teach in Japan/go to school in Japan/ translate. Please, I would really appreciate it if you would send me an invitation.

  • alessandro · 1 year ago
    wow, i really want to say that your blog and videos are just great, it is a good source of practice (listening comprehension) combined with some humour and culture of Japan.

    woaa i'm impressed of the long list of comments on this article, I'll really appreciate an invitation to join Mixi too.
  • thond · 1 year ago
    about the 'mixi music' part: it's like last.fm, you get a program that transfers the ID3tag info when you're listening to music on your computer. afterwards, you can see your recently listened tracks, review them or take a look at the ranking for all mixi users. there's also subcategories by genre and artist (http://music.mixi.jp/view_artist.pl?id=1069 p.ex.), which give recommendations for similar sounding stuff, so it's a nice gimmick if you want to discover something new.
    the thing on the front page just shows friend' recently played tracks.

    you can get the program here: http://mixi.jp/station.pl , there's also some instruction on that page. basically, just install it, enter your email and mixi password and you should be set. (if i remember correctly)

    hope that helped & i didn't just repeat what someone said beforehand.
  • Takeshi · 1 year ago
    Hi Kochi,
    It's great to have your introduction for mixi.jp.
    As now I am studying Japanese, up to Level 2,
    I would really like to have a chance to practice my Japanese.
    Could you send an invitation to me?
    My email is entered when submitting this comment.
    Arigatou!

  • elyse · 1 year ago
    i have a question, so maybe you might know about this... but i used to have a mixi when my friend invited me, and all of a sudden when i tried to login it said my account had been deleted. i had used the account maybe a day or two before, so it wasn't inactive :-[ but anyway i would really appreciate getting an invitation as i missed it a lot and met some cool people on there.
  • miss anon · 8 months ago
    oh wow, thats really scary.. when did this happen?
  • YakomoAE86 · 1 year ago
    Hi, I can't say I can make a post everywhere but I can try in majority of the articles because not only do I want to know Japanese culture, but I also want to learn the language and know what it's like over there. Truth be told, I've always wanted to be in Japan which is why I want to become a manga artist (if ever possible).
  • Louise · 1 year ago
    This page has been so useful! Thank you!
    I would love to see what mixi's all about, please invite me!

  • Matthew · 1 year ago
    Hey, Koichi.
    I only recently discovered your YouTube videos/blogs.
    I've always loved the culture of Japan ever since I started learning it in school.
    I'm not learning it at school anymore unfortunately, but I am studying in my own time.
    It'd be great if you could send me an invite to Mixi, I know it might take some time, but thanks if you do.
    Looking forward to your future videos/blogs.
    Thanks,
    Matt.
  • Neil Duckett · 1 year ago

  • Jason · 1 year ago
    Great article. very informative.

    I have been studying Japanese on my own for nearly 6 months now using various audio CDs, computer programs, and books. But having these is just a one-way learning path. I would very much like the opportunity to join mixi.jp and some of the communities on there in order to further advance my understanding of the Japanese language and culture. If you could send me an invite to grunt_357@hotmail.com i would be very greatful.

    Thanks,

  • nick · 1 year ago
    unleeeesssss someone has already said, as i understand it the music part shows what people last listened to (probs while using mixi) if they use itunes or WMP. A bit like the msn messenger shows whats playing. U have to download the software or plugin thingy then it automatically dos it, and it finds info about the artist and song ect if availaible.

    could be cool for some
  • Samantha · 1 year ago
    I always worry when people I don't know add me; not because I don't know them, but because I'm scared that I used to know them and I forgot who they are.

    I made many Japanese friends in a performing group I was in. They learned my language to communicate with me so I wish to learn their language so I may communicate with them. This is one of the many reasons why I am learning the language.

    Anyway I feel this will help me with my studies and hopefully allow me to get into contact with those I have lost contact with.

    I was wondering... would it would be possible to get an invitation to mixi? I think it'll help me improve my Japanese, so I'm pretty eager to join.

    The only problem I'm worried about is about needing a Japanese cell phone email, which I've read in a few places that they're starting to require during registration. Do you know anything about this?

    I may be too dumb for this - they're asking me for a mobile mail address which I don't have and don't seem to be able to work around it.
    Tips anyone?
  • Shio · 1 year ago
    Yep, in march 2007 or something, they made registration impossible without confirmation with your mobile mail address, however if you use a non-freemail account, you won't be asked to do so...conclusion? ---> they want to avoid people from having multiple accounts and stuff and I have to say, it's pretty smart, but it's annoying the hell out of me, since I live outside Japan, where we don't have specific mobile phones with the needed configuration...O yeah and how do I know all this? cuz I am fucking Japanese and my mother and my brother both have mixi accounts...guess what? they registered long before mixi started this mobile phone thing :P dammnit...
  • koichi · 1 year ago
    Hey Shio,
    Based on what you said, I tried to invite myself using a non-freemail account, but nothing changed. I still get the mobile email request. :(
  • Shio · 1 year ago
    My source:
    http://www.close-channel.net/archives/2007/03/m...

    I dunno much either^^ but I think I have the solution for myself.....I think I'm going to ask my uncle/aunt etc. (hope this non-freemail thingy works, I'm ot going to bother them with mobile phone adresses :P) ....OR I'm gonna make an international call to ask one of my friends to use his phone....but then again...I'm not that interested...well, how is mixi actually? I understand that you've already had it for some time?

    Hey Guys. Same here I got invited and dont have a mobile email address! This is soo annyoing, cause i dont know what to do! It wont let me register!? Any ideas how to overcome this question!!! Thnx

    BEn
  • SHIO · 1 year ago
    Allright, about the mobile phone address: No Can Do...You just have to get your hands on a compatible japanese mobile phone (some are incompatible) OR you have to use a non- freemail account, (Nifty, dion, OCN, etc., apparently accounts of most major japanese distributors are working), i.e. foreign non-freemail accounts don't work, you will still be asked for a mobile phone address, like when you are using a freemail account. So people who're using Yahoo/hotmail/live/gmail, I'm sorry to tell you this: there's no way joining mixi with these accounts

    I read this article a while ago and had to try and find it again because I'm leaving in 21 days to be a foreign exchange student in Miyagi for a year :DDD

    I figured it would be good to have a Mixi account to keep in touch with my Japanese friends when I have to come back~
    I hope you're still sending out invites :)
    Thanks a bunch!

  • Loren · 1 year ago
    Hello!
    Great article and very detailed. I was searching information about Mixi sinc I didn't know what it was. I heard some Japanese talking about it so I could understand since I find your article.
    I am now living in Tokyo and studying Japanese, I hope you could invite me to the community and improve my Japanese level at the same time of having fun joining some groups.
    I would be very grateful if you could invite me since I don't know anybody who is memeber of Mixi...
    ありがとうございました!

    I dont have a japan cellphone, the reason I cant register.

    I'm ready to start the Mixi Japanese challenge!! Any chance of an invite if you've not given up handing them out with all of these responses?!

    Nice new video on your top 10 Japanese resources. It's going to take a while to trawl through those... not really up the standard of those suggestions but so far I've found these two slightly obscure sights really useful:

  • daneille · 11 months ago
    lol shouldve added my email daniellecrichlow@yahoo.com
  • Tom · 11 months ago
    Okay, so does anyone know if there's a way to find people on mixi? I don't mean to find someone specific, by using a name, but to say, come up with a list of everyone who's between 20-30 and lives in a certain town?

    So, far, the only search function I've found requires you to enter a name, or nickname, or keyword. So it's impossible to get a complete set of results.

    I just want to know how many people are on Mixi in my town!!! :-O

    If anyone knows, thank you!!

    You should ask your friend, because your friend probably has the required
    japanese cell phone address (unless you have one too, at which point I'd be
    happy to send it your way... but at that point you should ask your friend,
    haha)

    teheheh, i find it funny how you say that one needs to know hiragana and katagana to use mixi at the least, and then you went and translated the whole mixi page for newbies..
    Translating just the kanji buttons would have been sufficient dont you think?

    i'm looking for more female friends on mixi.. Boys are too easy to add because their brain is made of "manpa".

    be sure to include an e-mail in your comment so i know where to send it to.
    Also, you have a Japanese cell phone, correct? I'd say 99% of people
    requesting right now aren't able to get in because they don't read the
    directions - the big red bold words at the bottom of the article.

  • Allen Rongone · 5 months ago
    Hi, this is probably going to sound crazy but I don't know where else to turn. I was stationed in Japan from 1984-1987. While I was there I had a Japanese girlfriend who I've been trying to get in touch with without any luck. Do you have any advice on how I might be able to find her? I've tried Facebook but can't find her by the name I knew her by. She's probably married by now and has changed her last name. Are there any sites, boards or the like in Japan where you can post looking for someone?

    hi i posted a question on ur other post about mixi, about opening an account through my japanese isp email address. if u think that could work could i get one of them fancy invitation mails of yours? i can post the result here for other readers
    ive already read ur mixi guide (thx for writing it btw), and also the girls locked in my basement say im not that creepy so i guess im mixi-compliant? :D
