  • i love the video it was cute and i love bentos. and i kw ur a girl

  • (no offence) but i used to watch hello kitty when i was little. And now hate it ._. but this is a good video! I heard of you from your friend EWilsonLife ^^ well done, keep it up!

  • @Zerevbrol for both bentos

  • you guys make me lol

  • WAIT A SEC! YOU'RE A GIRL!?! GOD SO MANLY! No offense Dude.

  • @welovebubbletea yeah man you know how i got that crazy mad unreal testosterone like how does that even happen look at my bulging muscles mmmhm

  • Is this a guy or a girl I'm going with girl because it's pink and helly kitty

  • @codemaster1maxxor helly kitty indeed

  • OMG CUP!!! I LOVE THAT CUP!!! Sorry ADD here lol

  • @Zarya51 Haha the cup is amazing

  • Thank you for all the information ^^ This was really helpful! I myself live in the Netherlands... and getting my hands on japanese bento boxes accessories etcetera, it quite hard... and I don't like ordering EVERYTHING on eBay. Thanks to your video's I am getting a bit more creative finding (or even making) bento accessories ^^

  • @BiologiePassie You're welcome! Glad I could help. Also, you should try JList and sites like that, as they sell bento stuff too.

  • @BiologiePassie Als je woont in Rotterdam, There is a very good Japanese winkel near centraal station. You can buy a tradional Bento box or even just a modern plastic tupperware style. Honestly if in Rotterdam check it out there prices are also really good. Groetjes.

  • im sorry i cant find any bentos by my house at the dollartree they only sell cheap toys:( help?

  • @amandamrulesXD Look online for stores like JBox or eBay that sell bento. If you can't order online, Asian supermarkets sometimes have them, and I know stores like Daiso and Japan Discount Outlets definitely carry lots of bento supplies. Dollar Tree stopped selling the bentos a few months after this video, I think.

  • 1: ur really beautiful, 2: really great vid! very helpful <3

  • @kylblk3 Thank you! :D

  • super cool! im subbing!

  • @cuppiedude20 Thanks!

  • um yah i would ask if a person was a boy or a girl i actually did it before so i wouldnt act all snooty and you really shouldnt act like you really know about bento

  • @thechefasian1 hey leave her alone shes my pal and she can act however she wants and if you havent got anything nice to say dont say anything!!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • @thegravitycat01 i dont think i was talking to you

  • @thechefasian1 well i was talking to you so shut your mouth

  • @thegravitycat01 why should i shut my mouth for all i know you should shut your mouth cause i was just ignoring your litte friend then i just see a comment from you so leave me alone clearly none of this has anything to do with you

  • @thechefasian1 dude guys just stop it. @thegravitycat01, you don't have to defend me, because I don't really care whether people like my videos or not. the internet is not serious business.

  • @emopalstrawberri finally you actually said something that made sense

  • @thechefasian1 erm and what the fuck has my freind done wrong?

  • @iamhatsunemiku01 iiiiim baaaaack this is my new and perminant account!

  • are you ever gonna make more vids about the learning bento

  • I would really like to "like" this video, however I wish there was more video of your showing bentos instead of just talking. I would edit in some picas of what you can do. Also, a "how to" would be helpful

  • @ryoshi100 I would really like to "tell" you that iMovie is awful for editing pictures into video, and I can do that in my future episodes. Also: how to what?

  • @emopalstrawberri How to make a bento. and by "like" I mean click a thumbs up. At the moment I am reserving judgement. Constructive criticism is an opportunity for growth and development. It is not meant to put down, so I sincerely hope that you are not internalizing it. I am simply a fan of bento making and like informative videos about the subject. We viewers are telling you what we want, you are not obligated to oblige

    .

  • @ryoshi100 haha, I know what you meant, I just thought it was kind of funny how you were reserving a simple action like that. I love reading all my comments and hearing what people want to see in the future to take that into account.

  • the reusable bag is such a good idea. 

  • @krissykimono I love it, I got a Spiderman one too. They're really useful.

  • um when you said if your a boy and girl. you kind of took it toooo hard. ingore them

  • @jellyhinatalovel It just became grating over time. I know in my heart that haters gonna hate. :D

  • @thegravitycat1 Whoa, that's dedication! How much stuff are you getting?

    And thank you!

  • Thank you so much <3

  • @hihelloathena No problem!

  • I loved watching your video, and you seem to know a lot about bentos, so I was wondering if you know any recipes that are easy to start with? I been trying to see videos of what gets put into the bento, but I can't find a lot so I was wondering if your could help :3

  • @hihelloathena I will be making new Learning Bento episodes as soon as I'm done with my final exams and I will be sure to include recipes for starters, since I get that request a lot. c: Until then I recommend you find some bento blogs (such as communities on Livejournal) and see what people put in. Most blogs for bento include lots of good pictures and descriptions of the ingredients.

  • I am not trying to be RUDE, but if your where my daughter I would have been upset about ur hair! BRUSH IT!

  • @xXPurpleHazeReaprXx Yep because I tooootally have never brushed my hair since this video I made three years ago. :D

  • @emopalstrawberri children. I meant the time of that video! Obviously..

  • @xXPurpleHazeReaprXx I don't have a time machine D:

    But I do brush my hair all day erry day because I don't have such a 'cockney ragamuffin from the streets' haircut anymore.

  • Ohmigoodness! This is so cute and fun to watch. ^^ I love bentos, but I never have time to make them!

  • @MizCactus Thank you! I used to make them much more often (3-5 times a week) but I don't really have time so much any more. I do want to get back into them though, since I'll be making more TLB soon.

  • I used to have long hair and even then I was once asked if I was male or female sometimes, so I really understand how you feel. People can be stupid.

    ANYWAY, Great video. c:

  • @PikachuVongolaCK Thanks!

  • @emopalstrawberri I think it's just your age :) Wait a few years and no one will mistake again.

  • @sekhmet2003 No one really has ever mistaken except for on this video (which may I add was three years ago). I think it's a combo of my haircut and the audacity of internet commenters. :D

  • @PikachuVongolaCK That's true. It doesn't matter if she looks like a guy or if he looks like a girl. What matters is that the video is informative. In this case it may be off-putting to be left wondering if the person who's talking is really a boy or a girl, but after a couple of minutes into the video that doesn't even matter anymore. More power to her.

  • OMG I JUST BOUGHT A BENTO TODAY!!! IM CANT WAIT UNTILL SCHOOL STARTS!!!

  • @GmodGIRL Awesome! :D 

  • An idea for sauce containers, re use your empty food coloring containers :) I knew I kept those for a reason :)

  • @flutey28 Thanks for the tips!

  • So... that's a great find! Hahaha!

  • ive been asked that when i had short hair. gets annoying...

  • @reb1009 Yeah it's annoying.

  • @emopalstrawberri and sadly right when i posted that i saw a girl on tv that i thought was a guy, but she had cancer and was just getting her hair back. kinda funny but sad at the same time

  • Your voice is so cute! And you sound very professional...very informative as well...I really want to try this for myself.

    and seriously, Dollar Tree?! Going there tomorrow to see if I can find myself some bento boxes.

  • @armybro8 As I noted with an annotation on the video, the Dollar Tree bentos were there about three years ago, and I haven't heard of them being there any more. Thank you for your feedback though!

  • how could any one mistake u for a boy you so pretty: )

  • @crazyanimegirl98 Thanks!

  • awww this is so cute

  • @chellywuzhere636 Thank you :D

  • Very informative, can't wait for more episodes ^_^

  • @vitaR86 More episodes should be coming soon!

  • if its at DOLLOR tree then why is it... 2$

  • @loweemory99 I'm so tired of people saying that! I accidentally said 2 dollars. I think I may have been thinking of the two/three bentos together.

  • wow well done :)

  • ur so adorable haha u did great i actually leared from this ignore the haters :)

  • Hey Bento Lovers, if you enjoy this video, you might like the real bento boxes from Japan on my page! Come enjoy bento from Japan?

  • ur definitly a girl! i could tell right from the start! i mean, ur completely ADORABLE! u have huge cute eyes and a sweet voice! how can u be mistaken for a guy?! no way!

  • You know what? Your video was cute, informative, and impressive. I enjoyed watching you and actually learned something. So guess what- ignore the haters and keep doing what you do!

  • @lovelyfeylovely Thank you!

  • i have always loved bentos i was lucky to live in iwakuni japan for one year i found your video cute and informative. and accurate

  • @jenniekerl Ah, that's cool you got to live in Iwakuni! Thanks.

  • I like bentos, but this chick is obviously an otaku that is unaware she's annoying. Breathe between sentences please and work on proper inflection. It's like every sentence is a question. Someone shoot me..

  • @MariMayhem I would assume by the way that people generally enjoy my videos, delivery of the info and the info itself, and not to mention my collective view count for the 3 bento videos at the time of writing is 103,089 views, most people do not find me annoying. I've never gotten that comment before. And I may add, I don't see a problem with my inflection, and in this video I was unsure of what to do since I had never made a Learning Bento video before.

  • @MariMayhem I may add as well, in response to the "otaku" comment, that I assure you I am not a Narutard or a weaboo. I do enjoy anime but it is only a part of my appreciation for foreign culture. I am genuinely interested in the culture, history, language and foods of Japan. I don't just love Tokyo, I love the country, but it is just like my love for other European countries and the world. I watch their movies and learn their languages as well-- not just Japanese.

  • I want a bento but in Hello Kitty store is VERY EXPENSIVE oh i want a bento for kawaii food because i sooooo cute!!

  • @SaKuRa08clamp I have a few Hello Kitty bento, most of them out there are around $20. Try JBox for Hello Kitty stuff. Their prices are pretty good and they have good service, I highly recommend them, and they have good selection most of the time.

  • I want a bento but in Hello Kitty store is VERY EXPENSIVE oh i want a bento for kawaii food because i sooooo cute

  • do thay still have them ?????????????

  • wow ur a girl

  • Very cute video :]

  • Very helpful, good job :D

  • OTAKU!!!

  • Where can u buy them? Dollar tree? Somewhere in California D:

  • @EmmyChan23 Although I don't live in California I went there this summer and they had a great store for bento and accesories, Japan Discount Outlets, in LA (really close to LAX). There's also, I believe, lots of Japanese stores in San Francisco, including a Daiso or something if I'm not mistaken.

  • i ready have a bento but i want another one that is small!  O O

  • @HamsterClawz Check the mL if you can't check the dimensions of the bento before you buy it. Most Japanese bentos are fairly small.

  • if you live in houston you could go to this store called fit in chinatown and buy a bento, i know cause i bought one for myself, they have an online store too (just google fit store)

  • This is really cool! :D Thank you for having these specials to episodes. :)

    *high-fives* Bentos are yummy! -and I've been thinking about actually creating bentos for lunchtime and snacks to soups. :)

  • LOL wut?

    A video about bentos?

  • You do such a great job on these videos! I am in love with that Cinnamonroll Donburi bowl!

  • WHERE CAN YOU BUY BENTO'S FOR LARGE TO MEDIUM APPETITES AND ARE 2 TIER. CAUSE MY MOM KEEPS SAYING I CAN'T EAT BENTO'S BUT I'LL JUST USE IT FOR LUNCH NOT A WEEK AND SHE KEEPS SAYING IT WON'T FIT MY LUNCH BUT IF SHE QUITS TALKING FOR ONE SECOND SHE CAN UNDERSTAND A BENTO 6 IN. IN LENGTH , 3.5 IN. IN WIDTH , AND 3.2 IN. IN HEIGHT IS PRETTYBIG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @Ecoanimegrl75 Whoa! I imagined you screaming all that! xD But you can get bento boxes from J-List (or J-Box, they're the same thing but J-List is 18+), some Asian grocery stores, and eBay. Check the milliliter content of the bento, because that will show how much it will actually hold. In most US grocery stores you can also get Lock and Locks (which I made a Learning Bento episode on), and you can also get "Fit And Fresh" boxes in US which are like bento but for very big appetites;

  • Comment removed

  • ooooh! Sugoi desu!!! Thank you for making these videos! They're awesome! ^_^

  • your a cutie. nothing wrong with androginy

  • your nails are painted so yay your def a girl.

  • You have got to be kidding me... you are SO obviously a girl. Don't listen to youtube haters, they're just jealous of your success and creativity.

  • @EWilsonLife Thank you. They don't make me question my femininity or anything, they're just annoying and rude. >__>

  • Great videos, but you studder alot

  • actually in real life, i would ask...but it is very obvious that you are a girl-your voice is feminine, you have girl eyebrows, and you have girl hands and a cute girl nose....so people are idiots if they had to ask if you are a girl.

  • omg so cute! ty for the vid!

  • aw, ur so cute >.<

  • hey i dont understand what a bento is i just happen to click on this video what is it? lol

  • @therockcantstop its kinda like a japanese boxed lunch

  • @shiro9000123 oooh haha thanks

  • @therockcantstop welcome ^^! you should try and make one of those cute japanese Bentos

  • @ emopalstrawberri i looked in dollar tree is there anywhere else???

  • @emopalstrawberri I looked in dollartree and they didn't have any so is there anywhere else?

  • You are,

    Quite cute. o.o

    ^^ i found this video, Adowable.

  • @Xexal95 Thank you! xD

  • you're REALLY cute - just thought you should know :P

  • Hello Kitty!!!!

  • Do they have bentos for people with big appetites?

  • i have a pretty good appetite, but i think the one tier will work best for me, because i'd be using it for lunch , and i don't really like lunch. (i usually stuff my face at dinner)

    thank you for the very informative (and cool!) video :3

  • umm everything at dollar tree is only 1$ if you paid 2$ for one you either lie or got ripped off.

  • At 4:16 - "I have a medium or large appetite depending how hungry I am (of course)"

    :P

    Haha. Please forgive me but I laughed at that part out loud.

    But great video by the way. :D

    I can't believe this was about 3 years ago though. . . Seems so long ago.

  • well I obviously knew you were a girl when i first saw you but some retard high on his own ego could easily mistake you for a young boy if they happen to miss the fact you were using the hello kitty box and baggy and your voice and your feminine shape and your perfectly groomed eyebrows and...........lolz don't let stupid peeps get you downjust laugh at how stupid they are that's why they're here. i really enjoyed this and learning bout bento thanks so much

  • @eveningmistonwater Thank you! FINALLY someone gets it.

  • @eveningmistonwater "the fact you were using the hello kitty box and baggy" "perfectly groomed eyebrows"

    Well, neither of those necessarily mean anything. I saw plenty of guys with both in Japan.  I even saw a guy with a pink Carebears purse!

  • @blahdorkweirdo,,, hmm if i think about it you're absolutely right i saw lots of guys like that in high school,hell i still do but it was obvious to me she was a gal and after a while i gave up on trying to find other ways to point it out (guys can be femininely adorable too) so i settled on those that i posted.... slight cheering up fail.

  • @eveningmistonwater I dunno, I don't think you need to point out specific reasons. I was surprised some people thought she was a guy, because she comes across as so unabashedly female to me. Sometimes, it can be hard to tell, but I didn't find it hard at all in this case.

  • @blahdorkweirdo In the case of the comments and discussions here about gender specificity, I'm not saying at all that it can be hard to tell peoples' genders sometimes. That is a true occurrence. But, I was personally tiring of the trolls that constantly kept asking me about it often. And even if my short hair somehow hid the fact that I am a girl, a quick look at any video where I've got more girly hair really gives it away.

  • @emopalstrawberri I have no idea what you just said or why you said it.

  • @blahdorkweirdo I just was agreeing with your comment.

  • @eveningmistonwater Not to mention her nails are painted... ;)

  • I don't know how many times I have to tell you people. STOP ASKING WHETHER I AM A GIRL OR A BOY. Would you honestly ask someone that in real life? If you look at any other one of my videos, it's obvious I'm a girl...I just had short hair. So stop asking, because you'll only get blocked if you ask.

  • @emopalstrawberri while i really don't see why people would think you're a guy, there have been occasions, one that comes to mind most easily, where i have been introduced to a person with a gender neautral name, baggy gender neautral clothes, what would be considered a pretty low voice for a girl and a pretty high voice for a guy (plus they didn't talk alot), a hair sty;e that could go be for either a guy or a girl and a body type that really could go either way.

  • @emopalstrawberri and i think it would be more rude in those occasions when i truly did not know know, to refer to them by the wrong pronoun or make some other comment that refers to gender and get it wrong, so yes while i haven't always asked directly (though i have once) when i go weeks without knowing the gender of a person i met i do what it takes to find out, and if that means asking i do so with suitable chagrine and copious appologies for the awkwardness and inconvenience of the question

  • @TheCyberwoman You do make a valid point. I did say to someone else that the situation is different for people who have an androgynous clothing and hairstyle for their body type. I think that you seem very polite about real life gender sensitivity. I think it's different if you go a long time knowing the person before you ask, and if you apologize, then that's much different than the inquiries I'm getting as to my gender.

  • @championcough Girl!

  • @codelyokovsichigo she is a girl!

  • @championcough You know what ppl would die because of ppl like you! I can't believe you would do that!

  • @championcough Well, I hate to bore you but it's true!

  • @championcough does SHE sound like a boy? no She is a girl! Dumbass!

  • she talks waaaay to much

  • @YORKFRIEDCHICKEN That's why I use my mad talking skillz to educate people. :D

  • @YORKFRIEDCHICKEN She is teaching you how! Gosh! Everybody is criticizing her alot just cuz she is a kid! She is my friend and friends watch out 4 each other!

  • HI! ummm can u tell me where do u get your bento cus my mom realy whants know where u get bento thx and can u pls tell me :)

  • @shayminaaaa I get mine from J-Box, a great Japanese online store.

  • @emopalstrawberri oooh thats where i got mine :D great site :))

  • Where do you live so i can but one!

  • @OONarukoxSasukeOO I get mine online.

  • @OONarukoxSasukeOO doh! I need one my sister got one by her mother in law but uts a thermo bento and i want it so bad!

  • emo....I love your videos! You're very professional and informative! I appreciate your tips very much! I think you deserve to be on a less "public forum" as the majority of nimrods who have left comments here....have no class or integrity. You're a beautiful girl who has a beautiful personality and obviously have great parents/guardian(s). Don't stop being who you are! You're JUST RIGHT! : ) God bless you, sweets!

  • @ravelsongs Thank you so much! :D That really means a lot to me. Thanks for those kind words. c:

  • wow we NEVER had bento's i our dollar tree! Your so lucky...and 2 tiers??? But then again NOTHING in our Dollar Tree is more than a dollar and you're saying it was 2 bucks!!

  • When is she gonna show how to create databases?

  • im so new at bentos im having to use glad containers, but im paying attention and learning all that i can. do you make your own bento lunches for school or does your mom? do you have to eat them room temp or do they allow you to microwave lunches at school?

    nAn

  • EVERYONE STOP EFFING ASKING. I AM A GIRL. You jerks would NOT ask someone that in real life, so gtfo.

  • @emopalstrawberri I have actually asked many people that, and yes `in real life`.

  • @darkangelfeathers13 Well unless that person is trying to be androgynous purposefully in their fashion or whatever (because I do know people and have friends with androgynous style) I think it's kind of rude.

  • @emopalstrawberri True I suppose.

  • Kawaii! :] You are most adorable, yes!

  • you take bento for lunch? Aha that so cool ;3; i dont even have to time to wake up in the morn to make one

  • Actually, some bento's still exist in Dollar Stores... but you never know which.,

  • cute♥

  • so cute! ;]

  • Wait...so, the dollar tree bento was two dollars? But...all the dollar trees i've been to only sell things for one dollar or less...i guess that's why they don't have the bentos all across the nation...

  • Thank you for explaining about the different bento boxes.

    I bought my first bento box one week ago on ebay. It was a 2 tier bento box, can't wait to get it. :)

  • This is great video!! :D

  • you look like the little girl from halloween town

  • Probably she might get a movie deal and become a millionaire!

  • I'd like to. xD

  • I love Halloween Town, especially because my mom always told me I look like her! xD

  • 2 dollars each at a dollar tree buddy i think u just got ripped off

  • This is my kind of channel right here. Great alternatives. i've been looking for a real bento for ages without much luck so the accessories are even harder to come by. Thanks for the info.

  • this is soo cute
