After The Earthquake

Hi everyone, good morning. I always upload my blog when I upload a new vlog. But lately, it's been so tough to do that.
Today, I decided to BLOG instead of VLOG. Because I sometimes need to write, not to speak.
First of all, check out my latest videos.(If you haven't watched them.)
This is the next day of the earthquake in Tokyo.


This is the day 2.


And this is the day 3.



So the first video, it's about me, us and Tokyo. I was really surprised that Tokyo was like a Ghost Town. It was Saturday but not as usual Saturday. Why is it Ghost Town? Because public transportation were paralyzed. Literally, paralyzed.
On that day, I was supposed to work. When I got a train station, it was really crowded. It's almost 2 or 3 times more crowded than usual. And I was waiting for a train. 30 minutes later, I finally managed to catch a train.
That kind of thing has happened everyday.

The next day, it was Sunday, I was at Shibuya (which is one the biggest downtown in Tokyo). And I felt so weird and angry. Because it seemed an usual Sunday. Everybody wanted to shop and walk around (without no purpose). I really wanted to say "What the hell are you doing? Why the hell are you? Why did you come here? Do you still want to shop even though the earthquake hit here 2 days ago?"
I was so frustrated how those people are selfish. I was totally disappointed.
It was about 6pm, few shops were closed. They closed earlier. That 100% made sense. But honestly, they should've closed MORE earlier, or shouldn't have worked.

About 8pm, people were everywhere. One thing, I really couldn't understand was that shops (I guess they were restaurants and electric advertisements.) were still using huge amount of electricity. Who wants to see advertisements such this situation? Why couldn't they think about people who were struggling this situation?
Again, I was so disappointed how much we're selfish.
As soon as I got home, I was setting my camera up and talking about how I felt and urged people try to save electricity, use Skype or Viber instead of public telephone lines and not go out without no purpose.
I know that I'm not a public figure and I don't have enough power to urge people to do those things. But I wanted to let people to know about it as a Japanese.

The next day, I was told my boss not to work today. I totally agree. I was thinking, "What do I have to do now? What can I do as a Japanese??"
Suddenly, I got an idea.
"Maybe I could donate."
Fortunately, I just became a YouTube partner last week which means I can earn revenue from my videos. This is the reason why I've vlogged as much as I can.
But the problem is that my YouTube community is too small as a YouTuber (I always appreciate my subscribers and viewers!). I've already asked world famous YouTube partners to promote my videos. I deeply hope that some of them check my message and will reply to me.

I know that I can't do anything without your support. If you read this blog, just tell your friends and family that there is a guy who is trying to help people.

Ever since the earthquake hit Japan, I've never left my cameras. If something is going on here, I will film and upload on YouTube. That's what I've decided, no matter what.

The Biggest Earthquake in Japan

Hi everyone! Are you fine? I am fine. Today, the biggest earthquake struck Japan. Actually, the biggest earthquake struck Tohoku and Kantou.(Everybody says "Japan" I guess everybody thinks Japan is so small.....) Tohoku is NorthEast part of Japan. and Kantou means "Around Tokyo."
It was about 3pm. While I was editing my Japense vlog, I felt a small earthquake.
Then I thought, "Okay, this is just a small earthquake as always." But I was wrong.
The earthquake was getting bigger and bigger and bigger. I was so afraid but as soon as I hold my camera and tried to record.....

I am so sorry, I know that the video was hard to watch. Honestly, I kind of forgot to record it. I was just holding my camera.
As soon as I recorded it, I decided to upload on YouTube(because I'm a vlogger. That's what I am!). While I was uploading it, I felt a lot of aftershocks. It so scared me.....
Tsunami, Aftershocks and Fires, these have been such huge disasters here, in Japan. Believe or not, Even I'm blogging now, I'm still feeling some aftershocks which are sometimes small and big.
I hope everything is going to be fine as soon as possible.

A Japanese Tries Tongue Twisters! Ep 5 - Hou much would be Chuck Norris!?

Hi everyone! This is the episode 5 of TT( Tongue Twister) vlog. I am 100% sure that this video has been the funniest one so far, check it out!

Next time, I would like to try a Japanese Tongue Twister! Yeah, I promise. Okaybye!

Talking about between Facebook and Mixi

Hi everyone, how do you do today? What's on your mind? Did you check your Facebook today? I think you did. How about my new Japanese vlog? I think you didn't.
So here you go!

Facebook has been the biggest Social Network Service so far. I started Facebook 2 years ago when I was in San Diego. Before I started it, I'd never heard of it.
The reason why I'd never heard of it was in Japan, Facebook was not so popular at that time. Lately, a movie came out and it's "Social Network".
After the movie came out, Facebook got popular in Japan. My friends (who are Japanese, absolutely!) decided to start Facebook. And I surprised how much Japanese love new things.
But the weird thing is those people (sorry, even including my friends.....) don't Facebook so often. (I guess they just wanted to try it because of it's a new thing!)
The other day, I was so curious about it and asked some of my friends.
"Facebook or Mixi, which one is better?"
And they said
"Of course it's Mixi! Because I don't speak English and know what to do on Facebook!"
"Mixi" is a Japanese SNS and it's much more popular than Facebook (in Japan).
I stared "Mixi" earlier than Facebook. It was about 4 or 5 years ago.
At that time, Facebook was totally unknown in Japan. Everybody knows and does Mixi.
But lately, the thing has slightly changed.
In Japanese book stores, I've seen a lot of "Facebook books". It's like this,
"How to start Facebook!"
"What to do on Facebook!"
"2011 is the Facebook year!"
"Facebook is perfect for your business!"
So people have just started following Facebook (even though it's been so famous since a million years ago!). But I doubt it's going to be popular in Japan. Because I've hear a lot of questions.
"Why is it NOW? We've already had Mixi instead of Facebook. Why would we want to do that?"
"What's the difference between them?"
"Do we have to speak and understand English?"
I've just heard of them from my friends. That's the reason why I vlogged about it.
So tell me (If you've ever joined Facebook or Mixi")
"Is Facebook going to be popular in this year?"
"Facebook or Mixi, which one is better? which one do you like?"
"Do you Facebook or Mixi? or Both?"
I'm looking forward to hearing from you! That's all I wanted to blog today, okaybye!

I called "Belog" in Japanese as "Vlog"

Hi everyone good afternoon, how have you been lately? I've been slightly busy with  making Japanese and English vlogs.
Today, I would like you to know that I created a new name for "Vlog" in Japanese.
Here is the video that I named it!

As you may know that we, Japanese don't use "V" sounds so often. So it's difficult to say "Vlog" in Japanese. That's reason why I created a new name (actually, I just abbreviated it :P). From now on, I will call "Belog" in Japanese as "Vlog"!
Next time, you should say "Belog" instead of "Vlog", if you speak Japanese......
Anyways, I'll see you guys next time! Okaybye!!

A Japanese Tries Tongue Twisters! Ep 4 - Can Clam Cram Clean Cream Can?

Hi everyone! It's been a long time to do TT (Tongue Twister) vlog!!

As you can see, it was really hard to say this tongue twister.
"Clam and Cram", "Clean and Cream"
But it was fun! I really enjoy doing tongue twisters because I love practicing my English and vlogging. And fortunately, I've got a lot of video responses and comments which make me really happy.
This is just episode 4. And I would like to vlog until 100 or 200! When I'm done it, my English is gonna be super duper awesome! I'll see you guys next time, okaybye!

I tried to eat RAMEN as much as I can!

Hi everyone, Good evening! This is my second video blog in Japanese which you have to watch now!!

As I spoke in this video, my Japanese stereo types are "We're very thin", "We ALWAYS eat healthy food (because we're believed that we ALL love sushi)" and "We don't eat too much".
As a slightly weird Japanese guy, I would like to say one thing.
"We eat like you!"
That's the main reason why I made this video. I know that I couldn't make it.
But I guess you now understand what I want to let you know......
By the way, I am thankful for "Umemoto" (where I was allowed to film my eating)!
This awesome restaurant is in Ikebukuro. Unfortunately, they don't have their website so I can't introduce it to you more. But if you really want to go and eat (I bet you can't eat what I ate in this video!), leave a comment below.
Next video, I am going to talk about "Vlog" in Japanese. Yeah, literally "VLOG".
You don't know understand what I'm writing about? It's totally okay because I'll see you guys on the internet, Okay Bye!

I tried to vlog in Japanese

Hi, everyone Konbanwa!.....Oh that's Japanese, Good evening!
So this time, this video, I wanted to try something which I've never done.
Then I thought "Oh, what's my first language? Why I have't vlogged in Japanese? Am I really Japanese?? What am I??? Who the hell am I???? Hey, wait a sec, how about vlogging in Japanese? It would be fun! Oh yeah, let's do that!!"
Yes, that's what I thought in 5 seconds. Anyways, check my new Japanse vlog!

So how was it? Did you understand? I hope you did!
If you don't speak and understand Japanese at all, it's a good opportunity to study Japanese! But don't worry, I will keep making  English vlogs as well!
I gotta eat something, okay bye!

A Japanese Tries Tongue Twisters! Ep 3 - Board Hoard Hored Bored!

Yes yes yes yes yes yes! It is time to tongue twister!! I've enjoyed practicing tongue twisters lately. It's really fun! Plus, my English might have been improved because of tongue twisters. Also, I've really enjoyed editing my videos as well. Check my latest video!

What do you think? Ever since I've started making videos on YouTube, my editing skill has been really improved. I am confident! Before I started YouTube, I'd never touched "iMovie" in my life and I'd never thought of editing.
So editing has been one of my favorite things lately. I will probably get "Final Cut". Maybe, the most expensive one!? Ummm I guess only my wallet knows it.......
Before I finish today's blog, I would like to say one thing.
"I am really thankful to YouTubers who always watch my videos, leave some comments and send me video responses. I really appreciate it. I love you all!"
That's all I wanted to say! Okay, Bye!!

A Japanese Tries Tongue Twisters! Ep 2 - S@#T? OR SIT?

Hello wonderful people!!!.......I've said that before, haven't I?
So today's tongue twister vlog is "I saw susie sitting in a shoe shine shop. Where she sits she shines, and where she sits she shines."
Ummm.......I totally don't understand what this tongue twister's meaning.
But I tried it in this video, check this out and let me know whether I made it or not!

As I said in this video, I am really REALLY looking forward to getting awesome video responses from YOU! Yes, you!! Are you reading now, right? Then why don't you say "I saw sussie〜" tongue twister and log in on YouTube and blah blah blah....
One more thing, I've been so surprised that I got a lot of requests (kinda challenges) of tongue twisters! I'm really thankful for that. Thank you very much!
I will try those tongue twister requests ASAP! Which means, "Don't forget to subscribe to my channel!" Okay, bye!
