I saw this, it's already been very useful as I've easily found a language partner. Thank you! :)

Invite only though.

To do this you also need a Japanese mobile now.
My friend tried to invite me, but you need to have a confirmation sent to both a normal email address and a valid Japanese mobile address.
If you do not have a Japanese mobile like me, your out of luck.

If you have a friend in Japan, borrow their mobile number when you register. That could possibly work.

I got in on Mixi back in like 2005 or 2004 when I was in Japan, so I didn't have to deal with that restriction, so my advice is not necessarily fool-proof.

I STILL don't have a Mixi. Is it really worth it?

That makes too of us with that question.

Do you have friends in Japan? If not, no. If yes (and they don't have Facebook), yes (assuming you want to stay in contact in the way Facebook enables you to).

Which is why I said you need a Japanese mobile.
