In a recent Instagram post that has captured the attention of many, Japanese model Mirei shared a fascinating video comparing herself to her grandmother from decades ago. The common saying “like breeds like” often rings true, and it seems family genes play a crucial role in one’s appearance.
According to a report from Japanese media outlet Netorabo, Mirei began her video with a playful turn and smile at a theme park. This moment was quickly followed by a series of old photographs showcasing a young woman who bore a striking resemblance to Mirei herself.
The woman in those vintage photos turned out to be none other than Mirei’s grandmother, captured during her honeymoon approximately fifty years ago when she was in her twenties. Mirei noted that her grandmother had a passion for traditional Japanese dance, her skin was notably fair, and she had a keen interest in fashion. These traits seem to have been perfectly passed down to Mirei, highlighting the many similarities they share.
As viewers reacted, comments poured in, with many expressing their astonishment at the resemblance. Some said things like, “You both look so alike!” and “You definitely inherited your grandmother’s DNA.” Others added, “Both are stunning beauties!” and playfully requested an introduction to the grandmother. The admiration continued with remarks like, “What amazing genes!” and “Your grandma looks like a mixed-race beauty.” Many even jested that if the old photos weren’t clearly dated, they could easily mistake them for pictures of the same person.
Mirei’s video not only celebrates genetic connections but also serves as a beautiful reminder of how family legacies continue to shine through generations.
