Mixi – Japan's largest online community

How to use Mixi

Mixi User Requirements

Because Mixi is an online service, you are not required to have any special software on your computer.

However, your computer should be able to display Japanese characters (not sure, go to Google Japan and if you see something like the photo below, you’re good to go!)

There are a few rules to using Mixi, most is just common-sense, a few of the major ones are:

  • You should be over 18 years of age
  • You should not have more than one Mixi account in your name
  • You should not share the use of your account with others
  • You should always have at least 1 friend in your My Friends section

Besides that, just use your head and don’t be silly.

Now, you’re ready to join Mixi, there’s one more step – you need to be invited (Mixi is an invites-only Social Networking Service).
