Will somebody do me a BIG GIGANTIC favor....

[RaimiiChan]

As you probably know mixi only allows you to register if you have a japanese cell phone. (i suspect because they don`t want people to create numerous accounts) the only loophole is by having a .edu account which i guess because you usually can only get one .edu account from your school. There is a website called australia.edu to which i have registered like 10 but i never get accepted!

So this is where the BIG GIGANTIC favor comes in....
If you have a .edu email and you havent already, or arent planning to use it for mixi can you go to this url: https://mixi.jp/register.pl?from=login0
put in your .edu email and press the orange button. When you get the email can you send me the conformation link in a private message on here? When i go to my settings on mixi i will change it from your email to mines so i can message my friends in japan! Thank you sooo much

You don't need a mixi account. Asking someone to use their .edu email for you is irresponsible. Mixi is an exclusive website that doesn't need to be overran by weeaboos who have no business being there.

There is a much easier way around getting a mixi account but it's no fun to find out without the challenge of looking.

Do you even use your mixi?
Mine sits pretty idle.

Yeah mixi is just a bore anymore to me, facebook is soooo much better, and there are plenty of Japanese people who have started using it so just get your friends to join FB. If the dipshit management team at mixi wants for some stupid reason to limit their number of potential users then let them lose out to other superior SNS sites.

I've converted the important people to facebook lol so it doesn't get as much attention as it used to. I've had to make several accounts for friends though so they always ask me to comment on their diaries lol.

Yeah, most of my Japanese friends worth talking to regularly also have Facebook. Facebook is actually indirectly trying to merge Mixi and Facebook by linking your Mixi statuses to Facebook. This started about 2 months ago. This move is to try and break Facebook into the Japanese market.

How about Facebook, Twitter, AIM or MSN? :3

If you have friends in Japan they can super easily help you out with getting a Mixi account

just ask, you don't need to ask strangers
