“I am rich.”
“I have Porsches.”
“I own gorgeous houses.”
We recommend that you do not say these words to our female members even though you may be a really a rich man.
If you do talk about how rich you are, many Japanese women will not understand why you are saying this anyways and may be confused as to your motives.
They may think, “Is this guy looking down on me?”
or
“Is this guy trying to control me with money?”
Generally, our female members are NOT gold diggers or are not looking for a rich man to marry.
They sincerely became a MJL member since they want to find a husband to share their happy life with and they understand their happiness is not only based on money. Of course, in order to maintain a happy life, most of our members would like to marry someone who can financially support the couple with adequate and stable income. Obviously, our members don’t want to marry a destitute husband.
Actually, most of our female member's annual income is as high as the average Japanese men’s income. Some of them earn more than $100K. They can buy whatever they want, and they travel abroad a couple of times a year. They are independent and there is no financial issue in their everyday lives. Also, they never expect their husband to financially support her parent’s family in Japan. This is unnecessary.
The most important thing you need to know is that our female members are looking for TRUE LOVE!!!!
If you are also looking for true love, don't show your wallet to her. Instead of that, show your true self to her. Ultimately, a strong connection with your partner will lead to happiness!

Hot Dating Tip: Don't Talk About Your Past Relationships to the Woman You are Corresponding with Now
Here is a story from one of our former members that shows how we perhaps unconsciously hold onto
past relationships and how this clinginess to the past can harm present relationships.
“It was right after we had married and I had recently moved into my husband’s house. One day, I opened the kitchen cabinet to make a cup of tea, when suddenly, a bunch of blonde hair fell down onto the kitchen counter. I was so scared because I thought someone may have been killed in this house!
My husband rushed into the kitchen and explained the blond hair to me.
“This is my ex-girlfriend's hair. I have kept it because I think it is beautiful. ”
I am thinking, but why keep the hair in the kitchen cabinet?
OK, I think it may have been beautiful for him, but it was horrible for me.
I calmly said without anger:
“It is important to let go of past experiences, and so I am asking you to let go of this hair. Please throw it out in the garbage, and please do not tell me about your past beautiful memories since I am a woman who lives with you now in the present moment.” Luckily, he understood what I told him and we have not discussed about each one's past since then.”
I am not denying his past fantastic relationships. But, I feel a good rule is to not talk about past relationships. Why? Because it is not necessary for our new married life since I am feeling happy with him now and I don’t want the past to interfere with the present.”
While this story from a former member may seem funny to some, it offers a valuable lesson. And the spouse handled the situation with her husband in a positive manner leading to stronger trust in their relationship.
Through my more than 10 years matchmaking experience, I have seen how many people tend to hold onto the memories of their past relationships. And, during early correspondence with a new date, they ask their date's past relationships. Why? Do they want to compare the person they are with now to their previous dates? Are they looking for someone who is similar or different? Do they expect him/her to be like a person they used to love? This is a fool’s idea since everyone is different and trying to recreate the past will only lead to heartache.
If you are asked about your past relationships do you feel happy? Are the conversations really exciting?
I believe it is best to say “I don’t dwell in the past. I don’t cling to the past. It is best to forget your past relationships!” Past is past. We cannot change the past. Now is now and we have the power to choose what we want to do now in the present. So, forget the past and spend your finite energy on creating a beautiful life with your current partner. Now can be the best time ever and don’t let the past mess it up.
If you really want to start a new life with someone special, it is better to focus on the person who you are dating now, who is in front of you! Pay all your attention to the person you are with now! Enjoy each moment you spend with the person you love now for soon the moment will be in the past.

Hot Dating Tip: Call Her 2 Hours after Your Date
Here is a hot tip providing insight into what women like from a man. After going on a date with a woman, you will score major points with her if you call her 2 hours after your date. Many women, especially Japanese women, appreciate it when a man shows he cares about her. And, women love attention from a man!
Usually 2 hours after a date a woman is relaxing at home. No matter what she is doing 2 hours later, it is very important that you call her to make sure that she arrives home safely. When calling her, you can show your appreciation for her by saying that you had a wonderful time with her. Feel free to show you care by asking her questions about herself and telling her about yourself when she shows interest.
Calling also lets her know that you have been thinking about her after your date. And, she will feel that she is important to you when you call.

Japanese women almost expect her date to call after their date. This is a way that Japanese women rate their dates and sense how much their dates like them. So please do not forget to do it. Every time you go on a date. If you don’t, you are sending her the message that you don’t care for her. So, if you truly liked her you must call her!
Women are always thinking thoughts like:
- Am I important for this man?
- Is he important to me?
- How much is this man thinking of me?
- How much does this man care about me?
- Will this man protect me if something happens to me?
- Does this man bring me joy and happiness?
- Am I important for this man?
- Is he important to me?
- How much is this man thinking of me?
- How much does this man care about me?
- Will this man protect me if something happens to me?
- Does this man bring me joy and happiness?
Japanese women are especially sensitive about dating. So, if you call her after your date, she will be very happy!

Why Old Fashioned Communication Methods Are Better Than Modern Digital Communication Methods For Creating Meaningful Relationships
One day, my mother in law said with sorrow,
“No one has called me recently.”
She explained that most of her friends use FACEBOOK now as a communication tool. And, since they communicate via FACEBOOK, they tend not to call each other.
This is an issue for my mother in law since she is not good at using a computer and she doesn't know how to use the Facebook. She feels isolated because she cannot communicate easily and personally with her friends by talking on the phone as she used to do. Everyone is too busy to call!
Actually, FACEBOOK is one of the greatest internet communication tools, since it enables people from any location around the world to communicate easily and cheaply. But quicker and easier communication does not necessarily translate into building meaningful or personal relationships, especially for local friends who live nearby. So, ironically, the more computer technology is developed, the new internet communication paradigm has made it harder in many ways for people to enjoy a social life with real friends.
Like my mother in law, many people are victims of FACEBOOK nowadays, and many people are forgetting the values of direct and personal communication on the phone or face to face which they used to have.
If you are seriously looking for a Japanese wife, I highly recommend the following ways of communication with Japanese women instead of just sending a few digital words instantly. You may feel these methods may be too old fashioned, but these methods offer more effective ways of developing your relationships.
SENDING A HANDWRITTEN LETTER
Instead of sending 10 short sentenced digital messages with your computer, it would be 10 times more effective to send one handwritten letter to your love. A personal, handwritten letter shows that you truly care and allows for a more personal message and artwork that she will really treasure and warm her spirit. It may take more than an hour to write and 7 days to reach her but it is well worth the effort.
Also, it is a good idea to select beautifully designed stamps for the person whom you are writing to, and place them on the envelope while thinking of her. She will appreciate the personal touch!
TALKING ON SKYPE AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK
There is a time difference, but you and she can setup a regular time and day to talk on Skype. As you listen to her real voice, you can more easily sense how she really feels from the tone of her voice. That's more valuable than exchanging emails.
MEETING IN PERSON
If you live in an area close to where she lives, you can see her without a lot of effort. It is nice to chit chat at a cafe and invite her to your house. Most of our members live far apart since she lives in Japan and you live in the US, and you cannot see her very often. I suggest that you make an effort to meet her in person when you are able to visit Japan. And, you can also invite her to visit you in the US. Either way is fine. The important thing is making the effort. Meeting face to face with her is very valuable and it is necessary in building a strong relationship and for creating a “marriage”.
Digital communication tools are just efficient tools that help in many ways, but we must not rely on them solely as some of the old fashioned methods are just as valuable. If you are seriously building your relationship, using old fashioned communication methods may be even more important than modern methods since the old fashioned ways allow one to communicate more personally, thereby creating a more meaningful and closer relationship. And, the old fashioned ways will bring you happiness easier, quicker, and deeper than you might expect.

If you are looking for a Japanese Wife and a Happy Marriage, Don't Go to Roppongi!
Today, a woman visited our Tokyo office for an interview. She is 35 years old looking for a rich and young Caucasian man with blond hair.
She goes to Roppongi (nightlife center of Tokyo) on the weekends looking for GAIJIN men, which means foreign men in Japanese.
Miyata at MJL's Tokyo office wisely advised her to not search for a man in Roppongi.
He said, GAIJIN MEN in Roppongi are not looking for marriage since Roppongi is the place to play.
She answered:
I know, but there must be a chance to meet a nice GAIJIN guy.
Also, she has brown hair. Miyata advised her that it would be better to revert back to her natural long, black hair since most foreign men prefer traditional Japanese women with long, black hair.
She answered:
I don't think so. It doesn't matter.
Actually, the real issue was not whether she had black or brown hair, rather her attitude was not open to new ideas. She did not want to face to her interviewer, nor listen to him.
She said she tried one of the biggest online dating sites in Japan, and she has met six foreign men before. However, she felt that they were not actually the persons whom she browsed on their profiles. So she canceled her membership. Although there are rich men with blond hair on those kinds of online dating sites, they will eventually figure out that she is a kind of a gold digger when they meet with her in person. That's what Miyata felt.
This interview was “a waste of time”.
Miyata reported that this woman was immature and we cannot accept her as our member. She appears to just be playing. And, I agreed with his decision. MJL accepts only male and female members who meet our membership criteria, thereby ensuring a high quality service for our members.
I think there are many Japanese women like her who go to the Roppongi area to look for GAIJIN guys. However, since Roppongi is one of the places in TOKYO where GAIJIN men gather to play with Japanese women. Both men and women who go to the Roppongi area are generally not looking for a quality relationship, let alone a happy marriage.
Therefore, if you are searching for a happy marriage with a traditional Japanese woman, we do not recommend going to Roppongi. Instead of wasting your time looking for love in the wrong places, spend your time more wisely by using MJL’s marriage introduction service. MJL specializes in forming happy, long term relationships with Japanese women and western men.

Japanese People Are Honest!
Yesterday, one of our male members from Los Angeles visited Japan to meet with one of MJL’s female members whom he has been corresponding with.
It was his first experience visiting Japan, so he was very excited since everything was new for him.
He was so surprised when he took a taxi to the meeting place from his hotel and he gave the taxi driver a tip, but the driver politely refused his tip.
In Japan, there is no tip custom, so it is not necessary to tip taxi drivers, hotel maids, or waitresses at restaurants.
In Japan, good service is not based on money. Japanese people are taught that customers should be treated as a god. Japanese people are satisfied when customers are satisfied with their service.
You may think the taxi driver should have received a tip if the customer wanted to pay.
How honest Japanese people are!
This story is a good illustration of the Japanese culture’s generous spirit, and I am proud of the taxi driver.

Happy New Year 2012
あけましておめでとうございます。
Akemashite Omedeto Gozaimasu
How is your New Year 2012?
Did you go to a New Year’s Eve party?
In Japan, people spend time with their family during the New Year’s Eve and Day like American families do during the thanksgiving holiday in the US. Since I live in the US, it is not easy to go back to Japan every new year, however, I talked with my family on skype today to say AKEMASHITE OMEDETO GOZAIMASU, a New Year greeting for my family.
Skype is convenient, and I feel as if I was with my family! Thank you skype!
Usually, in Japan, food for the New Year holiday is specially prepared by the end of December. The special food for the New Year holiday is called OSECHI, and it is like a big bento box which has multi-layered boxes within it. Also, in Japan, people eat OZOHNI – Soup with pieces of MOCHI, sticky rice cakes.
For the three days from January 1st to 3rd, Japanese people eat OSECH and OZOHNI, so that mom does not have to work but can relax. This is traditional Japanese food culture and I miss OSECHI!
One of MJL’s married couples, who married in 2011, let us know that the wife would make OSECHI for her husband and his family for the New Year 2012. It was NOT easy to find specific ingredients in the US, however, she said she did! I am surprised since she and her family live in Minnesota, and I imagine there are not many Japanese supermarkets there. But she did, and I am proud of her as a Japanese woman because she is introducing a Japanese food culture to her US family.
Anyway, if you find a Japanese wife, you will enjoy Japanese traditional food culture with her, and it makes your life more colorful.

Our Life after a Loved One Passed Away
Life as We Know it.
http://lifeasweknowitmovie.warnerbros.com/dvd/
My father in law passed away on Dec 15, 2011. He was a great mentor, a caring friend, a warm person, and a loving father of my husband. However, since he gave his power of attorney to his girlfriend, who is a married woman, and she kept him largely away from us these last 5 years. And so, when we visited him at the senior center 5 days before he passed away, she did not let us to see him. When we tried to visit him, she locked the door, and screamed “Go away or I will call the police”, and she did.
We asked his social worker and manager of the senior center, and his friends for help, but everyone listened to this woman who had the power of attorney. It was very sad that nobody would help us to see him before he died. We are his family and my husband is his only son. There does not appear to be any family rights in the US.
After my father in law’s death, we soon found out that his affairs were more complicated than we thought since my father in law designated his executor of his estate to a friend of his who lives in NY, she hired a lawyer, it is the holiday season, and she informed us that the will was rewritten 6 days before he passed away.
According to my father in law’s wishes, his body was cremated and his remains are to be buried at his parents’ grave at my father in law's birthplace in Germany. But who is going to do this? It might be stated in the will, but we don’t know right now. Understandably, my husband wants to transport his remains to Germany.
Anyway, after this happened to our family, I learned that the legal rights of a power of attorney is greater than the family rights in the US. I think the lack of family rights in the US is very unfortunate and has contributed to the breakdown of the American family unit. In Japan, kinship family is highly respected, and the deceased’s properties are divided equally among the family. (If a husband dies, 50% of his property goes to his wife, and the rest is divided equally among their children.)
On the positive side, we have learned many things from this experience that will help us better plan our own lives and end of our lives.
As a first step, my husband and I decided that it is very important that we both make our living wills, since if something happened to my husband and/or I, our son would receive our estate. In a will, one can designate everything that one wants to de done with one’s estate and children. So, for instance, I could ask my sister in JAPAN to take care of my son until he is an adult when he can make his own decisions. Without a will, the state would decide what would be done with my son.
Also, I prepare for the possibility of me passing away before my husband.
I started making a list of IDs and Passwords that I use for services such as banks, credit cards, and other internet services. Some of the services are located in Japan. So I carefully make lists in order for my husband to read them in English. By preparing my financial affairs in advance like this, it will be easier for my husband or anyone else to take care of everything when I pass away.In 2012, we will celebrate our 6 years anniversary of our marriage. Making our own will is going to be one of our first important projects in 2012. After we have completed our wills I will feel more secure with my family and living here in the US!

絆 － Kizuna
At the end of every year in Japan, “The Kanji of the Year” is chosen. The Kanji of the year in 2011 is ”絆 KIZUNA” which represents that people are linked together who help each other.
There were many natural and human disasters in Japan in 2011 such as earthquakes, Tsunami, the nuclear radiation leak in Fukushima, Typhoons, and so on.
In 2011, the Japanese people had to deal with these many disasters. However, since Japanese people have giving/volunteering spirits, they took action quickly and they spent their energy to help and save people. Since, we are all linked by KIZUNA, everyone feels that we are one people. I am glad to know the Kanji of the year in 2011 is KIZUNA.
Here is the interesting article related to Japan’s recovery:

There are still many people who are suffering, and it may take another couple of years to be healed completely, but we can say that Japan is recovering. If you think you would like to help JAPAN, please just visit Japan. You will see many beautiful places tasty Japanese foods, and wonderful people in Japan. What you see when you visit Japan is the truth of Japan, and I don’t think it will be as bad as the media portrays the situation there. I think life in Japan is thriving in spite of it all!
If you visit Japan, you will experience KIZUNA and the Japanese spirit of giving. You will really know what KIZUNA is. And, your visit to Japan is a form of KIZUNA too.

Spending a Happy Thanksgiving with My Family
When I was a student in Los Angeles, I never liked the holiday season, especially Thanksgiving or Christmas.
Why?
I was a single student with no family or a boyfriend. So, it was during the holidays that I felt the most alone.
I sometimes said out loud, “I don’t want to be alone next Thanksgiving!!!” And, I thought that I just need to be patient until the holidays are over as a way to cope.
Today, I am happy to say, I am no longer alone, and instead, I have my happy family to spend the holidays with. I am grateful that I had such a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday with my family. It was a thankful and joyful Thanksgiving. My husband and I eat a primarily vegan and raw food diet. So, we made two raw food lasagnas and two raw food pies. We celebrated Thanksgiving without any turkey or dairy. We enjoyed a healthy, delicious Thanksgiving meal with our friends and family. How delightful!
I received many emails from new single male clients who were looking for a Japanese wife during this Thanksgiving holiday. I think many of them felt lonely and dreamed of spending a happy holiday with someone special.
Many of our male clients like to visit Japan during the holidays since it is a convenient time for them to take a vacation. Our female members are grateful and enjoy spending time with our male clients since our females like to spend the holidays with someone special and stay warm during the winter.
Happy Holidays!

News From Los Angeles: “We Are Engaged!”
今週の初めに、ＬＡ在住の女性から
『婚約しました！』のご報告をいただきました。
We received a very happy message from one of our female clients in LA.
“We Are Engaged!”
彼からもらった指輪のお写真と
お二人の幸せなお写真を添付くださいました。
They sent to us some of their photos.
We would like to share their photos showing their engagement rings.
彼女は2009年と2010年にＬＡで行った
ミーティングのイベントに参加くださいました。
参加されたときはもちろんシングルで（当たり前だって！）
おそらく、
Kaiwa-USA をきっかけに出会いがあるとは
半信半疑な状態だったと思います。
She attended our speed dating event in LA in 2009 and 2010.
She was single at that time, and she seemed a little tentative about using a matchmaking service since it was new for her and she may not have believed that it would work.
Well, MJL was very successful in helping her!
MJL introduced her to many fine gentlemen and she met her fiancée through our service.
でも、可能性を信じて、メンバー登録をされて
活動されていました。
However, she also understood that she needed to take action in order to find her special one.
結局、
ＬＡでのミーティングイベントに参加された殿方とのご縁は無かったものの
その後に、メンバーとして登録された男性（ＬＡ在住）と
トントントンとお話がまとまり
順調に交際を続けていらっしゃいました。
As a result of her choosing MJL for her matchmaking service, we introduced a gentleman in LA right after the event in 2010. It was great timing, and she and he both liked each other and have been corresponding with each other since then.
彼のプロポーズを受けて
正式に婚約が決まったということで
今回、ご報告をいただきました。
本当に、おめでとうございます。
At the beginning of November 2011, she wrote to us that she accepted his proposal and they were formally engaged.
彼女、50代ですが、年齢って関係ないですね。
いつも若々しく、とっても素敵な女性です。
わたしも、彼女のように輝いて美しい50代になりたい！
そんな思いで見つめていました。
She is in her 50's and has grown children. However, she is very attractive and sexy! I think age really doesn't matter if a woman takes care of herself and stays young, healthy and beautiful. I would like to be beautiful and healthy when I reach my 50's!!!
これからの人生を
パートナーといっしょに、
満喫してください！
I hope that this new, happy couple walks together forever in lifelong partnership.
