Watch us spend a traditional New Years back at my fiancé's parent's house in traditional Japanese style speaking to them in Japanese. See how we manage our differences as an international couple in Tokyo.

Happy New Year! I hope to show you more real life videos in Japan like this that haven't really been shown on KZhead. My in-laws were very kind to let us film this celebration. Remember, it always scores you HUGE POINTS with your significant other and their parents if you speak their language. Let's all get studying!
This is a classic example of “If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his own language, that goes to his heart.” (Quote by Nelson Mandela)! I’m happy for you, Anming 😊
His family is so sweet!!! His mom saying there were lots of embarrassing photos and his dad saying he might get teased on KZhead. Omg. So adorable!!! This looks like an amazing way to spend new years!! 🥰🥰
I think the fact that your inlaws took you to church is a very kind act on their part.
Shout out to your future father in law!
Omg, his family are literally learning english for you and your family, my god, that's so beautiful.
I loved how they allowed all of us to go inside their living room and share a new year celebration with them!
Bruh the fact that they went to the catholic church instead of the shinto church just for her is like such a huge deal and just truly shows how accepting they are of her which is amazing honestly
its actually interesting that his parents were fine with the filming - after finding out his dad subbed to you it became super wholesome xD i wish you all the best for this year! ^-^
We have a similar situation in my own extended family. My elder son fell in love with a beautiful Korean lady and was initially timid about going to meet her very conservative/traditional parents in Koreatown, Los Angeles. This is where the language connection comes in -- my son studied Japanese as his foreign language in high school, and her father spoke 5 languages, including Japanese. My son and his future father-in-law struck up a conversation in Japanese, and when my future daughter-in-law left the house at the end of the evening, her father confided to her, "I like him."
His dad was worried if you were hot or cold, I could tell he cares about you and you will fit in with the family :)
The SPEED with which his mom said there are a lot of embarrassing photos! Hahah I love it! Your family seems very sweet. Please thank them for sharing a look inside New Year's Day with us!
This was so incredibly sweet! How Tommy's parents made sure to respect your religion and go to the Catholic church was so heartwarming. It was so sweet of them to allow you to share these moments on KZhead. You make a wonderful couple. 🥰 ❤️
The food though… looks おいしい😍
As an American of Japanese descent, I can say your Japanese is excellent young lady and you'll fit in like a new member of their family. The Japanese are very accepting of those who "marry outside" and your sweet personality and beautiful blonde hair will be loved by all of your new family. Like all proud parents all they want is their new family member to love and cherish them which will most certainly be reciprocated.
I met my in-laws for the first time last year in Yokota. Even with the language barrier, they welcomed me with open arms and have been truly wonderful.
How lovely that your in laws were kind enough to share an important family occasion with everyone on film, and how thoughtful it was to include your own faith in the days celebrations. Such courtesy and kindness is not always the case in families and it is genuinely lovely to see the respect and inclusion in both cultures and faith.
Man your father-in-law is so agressively and comfortingly hospitable that he reminds me of my late grandpa.
Oh man, visiting the in-laws takes lots of care even in a shared native language. It seems like it went great! Your Japanese sounds more and more natural as the years go by, and I think his parents must be very happy to speak with you in Japanese. It's really cool of them to go to church for you! They seem really nice. Future FIL has such classic adorable Japanese Dad vibes
My husband and I have been married 39 years this coming May. He is Japanese and Black. We have enjoyed such a wonderful time together. I tried to raise our 2 young men to learn all about their wonderful heritages. God bless you both on your upcoming marriage.
