Intro-Intro-Intro-Introducing...

This is a blog about relationships, life, and really whatever else I feel like. Who am I, you don't ask? My nickname is Decchan 「デッチャン。」I'm an African American woman in my mid-20s, grad school student, and I have been with my Japanese boyfriend, nicknamed Kazzy, for a mere seven months. If you round up.

I don't find myself or my relationship to be that interesting. However, I do enjoy it, and I enjoy writing. Likewise, I enjoy AMBW relationship blogs and videos, and slice-of-life things in general. I want to share a little portal into my life, in case there's anyone else out there like me who's just curious about the lives other people are living.

I hope you enjoy what I have to share!

    Hi, Decchan!

    I found your blog through a comment on one of Nobita's videos. In it you spoke about being a black women and dating in Japan. I am also a black woman and currently abroad in Japan. I find that it is easy to get attention from men here, but building a true relationship has been hard as black woman who is also curvier.

    I am so happy to see you and Kazzy doing well! I wish you guys nothing but happiness and hope to see some vlogs from you in the future!

    Best,
    Chan

      Hi, thanks for commenting! I found the same thing. Guys would want to buy me drinks all the time, but getting a proper date was difficult.

      Thank you so much! I would like to make a vlog here and there, but Kazzy and I are still discussing it.

Find Your Love in Japan, Kaz's Parents, and Our YouTube Channel

Nobita featured me in another of his Find Your Love in Japan videos, this time on whether Asian parents disapproved of their child's interracial relationship. Thank you again, Nobita! As I mentioned in the video, Kazzy's parents seem pretty chill about our relationship. I feel really fortunate on that front. I had heard of many heterosexual couples where the (Asian) guy tries to hide the fact that he's dating someone outside of his culture, especially if she is black. I was fully prepared for him to conceal our relationship from his parents. However, he made no special effort to hide me over what he would have done for any other girl. He just doesn't talk about it with his parents, which I understand, because neither do I. Kaz's mom found out when Kaz shared pictures of us from Thanksgiving and getting a Christmas tree on Facebook. [ S   U   S   P   I   C   I   O   U   S ] She liked the photos and sent him a, "So I see you got a girlfriend, hm?

~*~ At The Gala ~*~

Have you ever fangirled over your significant other? Because I definitely did yesterday. Kaz and I attended his school's Spring Gala. And can you blame me? He was hecka handsome. Hi. To thank him for the tickets, I bought him a bow tie from Brooks Brothers. It took him an hour to tie it after asking, "It can't be that hard, right?" He did a perfect job, though. Bein' James Bond and ish. I got my hair done by Kyle at MAC (super sweet guy; he had previously given me a free replacement for my makeup pad that came apart, so I requested him for makeup) and my makeup done by Jill at  Taji Salon  (super sweet girl; she took me early and I was done before my appointment time [I shampooed and conditioned earlier that day though, because my appointment time was cutting it close.]) Of course the only clutter in the room finds its way into the picture. Auntie (my aunt I grew up with) had to leave early, and expressed her wish to see Kaz's reac

I'm in Japan! Sorry About Last Week.

I'm sorry I didn't make a blog post last week. Kaz brought back a cold from Spain and shared it with me. During the time I'm in Japan, I will probably put more effort into vlogs than blogs, but I will probably still make a few posts. I have two planned that I will post today and/or tomorrow. ~Decchan
