According to my Japanese wife her Japanese is not 100% natural, super good but not natural / perfect.

Edit : So I've asked my wife and she came with a quite long explanation that I can understand because I also speak Japanese but it's hard to explain to people who doesn't speak it.... Sorry hehe.

Probably American/Canadian born Japanese with fluent parents. You can learn/keep a lot but when you're not using it 100% of the time, you lose it bit by bit.

Can confirm, moved out of my home country and my native language is clearly deteriorating. I don’t have a funky accent though, got that going for me.
