Youtube partner support? (Now it's been fixed lol)

These URL bellow in the branding box doesn't link to their channel from my channel any more...So I've been asking youtube partner support several times. But I haven't got any response yet. It's been 3 weeks by now. It those URL doesnt lead you to their channel, who wants to check? How often do people copy and paste those URL to check out? I wouldn't do it because it's pain in the neck. So if you find the channel that you are interested in, you can click on it here from my blog. Those channels are really good channel. I really want people to check those out!

チャンネルトップページのブランドボックス内に記載した下記のURLはチャンネルページからだとリンクされなくなってしまった。3週間ほどこの件についてパートナーサポートへ問い合わせているんだけど待てど暮らせど音沙汰なし。クリックもできない、リンクもされてないURLなんぞ誰がチェックするかっていう話。わざわざコピペまでしてチェックする人はそういないし。自分は面倒くさいからしないかな。みんなにチェックしてもらいたいチャンネルでもあるのでもし気になるチャンネルがあればこのブログから飛んでチェンックしてみて下さい。

Finally it's fixed now. やっと直ったようです。

Kick ass breakfast? ケツ蹴り朝食



Kick ass breakfast! I didn't know what it's actually meant to be. Seems like Westerner call it as something like lots of energy, lots of healthy food that will give a good start to the day. So I think I did OK on this order. Gyudon surely give you a good power to start a day. If you don't like this way, go eat banana.

キックアス朝食って意味がよくわからなかった。一日の初めるに元気が出て健康的な朝食のことをそう呼ぶようです。ならいいじゃん(ビデオが)。牛丼はパワーも付くし。嫌ならバナナでも食っとけ。

''Chotto ちょっと'' Irregular way of making a negative reply

Chotto / Sukoshi  means ''a little'' as you might know.

Useful Japanese phrase ''Chotto ちょっと'' for making a negative reply. Just by saying ''Chotto...'' when you have to make a negative reply. ''Chotto'' in this case, is a unique Japanese expression which is irregular way. And it doesn't mean ''a little''. Therefore you can't just say ''sukoshi...'' for making a negative reply. It doesn't make sence. This is advanced Japanese lesson :)  

- Example -
When I ask you to come to the party or something, you might don't really feel like to go but you don't feel comfotable to make a negative reply to me. Then you may say ''Chotto...''

Saying ''chotto'' like this makes the situation ease up a little. It depends on what kind of situation you are in but it's very useful phrase to use sometimes. This is just a unique Japanese expression. If you can use it like us, you are fluent Japanese speaker.

I need to be modest... 謙遜します。



In this video, I was talking about my Japanese hater a little. Because this omurice fail video just reminded me of my hater's message. Actually I don't care about my hater at all.  Not even discouraged. But people who left comment in this video are so nice. It seems like they really care about me and try to encourage me. I just want to say ''THANK YOU EVERYONE!''. What I want to say in this blog is I feel like being modest about this. That's how I feel now because I may have talked about my hater just because I was looking for  compliments...But That's what I don't like to do. You know what I mean? Life is unfair...lol

この失敗した感のあるオムライスのビデオのおかげで先日のチャンネル荒らしからのメールの事を思い出しました。実際は気にもしてないし、なんでもないんだけど。でも視聴者様(多くは海外の人)は本当に僕のことを想ってくれてて僕を勇気付けようとしてくれるコメントをしてくれました。ただただ「みんなどうもありがとう!」って言いたいです。このブログで何が言いたいかって言うと、この件について謙遜しちゃってます。もしかしてみんなに褒めてもらいたかっただけなんじゃないかと。でもそういうの嫌いだし。わかるこの気持ち?人生ってやつは・・・(笑)

People care more about ''el(r)ection'' than cooking lol



So JustMiyabi came to RUNNY's and ordered traditional Chinese food ''Zha jiang mian''. We call it ''Jaa Jaa men''. It's very popular dish even in Japan. Especialy cold one on summer time.

About video, it's very interesting to find that people tend to care more about how I pronounce ''election'' than actual cooking. Japanese people like me are having trouble with pronouncing ''R'' sound as you know. In the video, many people who left comment said ''erection?''. I actually didn't know what erection means...Now I know what it means! lol I see...Now I know why people tell me that. It IS funny!

JustMiyabiさんがラニーズでジャージャー麺を注文してくれました。日本では冷やしジャージャー麺が夏場に特に人気です。

ビデオですが、面白いことにコメントしてくれた多くの人たちが料理そのものより自分が発音した''election''というのに飛びついてきました。日本人は英語のRの発音に苦労しますよね。コメントの中でも多くの人が ''erection?'' (LがRになると意味が全然違う)と言ってました。''erection''の意味が実際に知らなかったんだけど、知ったら知ったでなるほどなと・・・これは確かに面白い!

Humor ユーモア

Hmmm...Trying to make people laugh with humor is still not that easy for me. That makes people more  confused than the humor just like I do on my bulletin board. I need more twists! If those people who reads my bulletin board were Japanese, it'd be easier to be understood as a joke. This is one thing I think it's interesting to see the difference of sense of humor between us. Like hollywood movie, there are so many dialog which has humor going on for sure. Sometimes I get it, but sometimes I don't get it. I wonder if any Westerners have the same trouble with the difference as I do.

ん~。。。洒落で人を笑かそうと試みるがやはり簡単じゃない。自分の掲示板では逆に誤解を招いてるありさま。もう少しひねり入れないとね。相手が日本人だったらまだいける。こういった感覚の違いを知るって意外と面白い。ハリウッド映画なんて台詞にユーモアだらけだったりする。(そのユーモアを)理解できたり理解できなかったりだけど。西洋人がこういった違いに対して自分のように戸惑うってことが果たしてあるのだろうか。
