I would also think that I am somewhere responsible too.
If someone cheats on you, that means they want someone more than you.
So somewhere you haven't tried everything in your power to stop that.
I might even think what I could have done...
Hey guys on Ask Japanese this is Cathy Cat. How are famous influencers here in Japan doing
during the pandemic. We went to the streets of Tokyo and we were lucky
to find not one but two influencers that shared their experiences with us so let's
hit the streets of Tokyo and find out what they have to share with us. Before that also
big thanks to all of our members, that little bit of support goes a long way
thank you so much for looking out for us and thank you for subscribing. Let's go.
Today we have a special guest...
- Nice to meet you. - What's your name?
I have a YouTube Channel called Sora the Troll. Nice to see you.
Today I am asking... How did your life change during the pandemic?
- During the pandemic? - Did life get better or worse?
Neither really. During the pandemic we could not leave the house right?
But I don't leave my house for work either way.
I do translation, voice acting and youtube.
I usually don't take videos outside too.
My lifestyle didn't change... apart from...
the fact that I could not travel out of Tokyo when I wanted to.
But on the good side, I stopped getting colds.
That might be because everyone is so careful about hygiene now.
Many more people stopped getting colds too right. I am one of them.
When I was about 24 I would get a cold almost every two months. I am 29 now.
But since the pandemic started I don't get those colds anymore.
- You got a lot of colds before. - One every two months and or at least
every five months I would get something like a cough or fever.
Recently it's zero.
Did you love life change? - Love life?
Did it change? - I am generally alone.
I have been single since I was 21 so not much changed. Just like that.
Did you look at your friends and think "love life in Japan must be harder now"?
I am busy with my work and the biggest point is that I am not popular with girls.
Come on, I am sure you are popular with girls!!!
I am not. Even looking at my own daily life, I can see why I am not popular.
I don't believe you! You are even taking care of your looks like hair too. Right guys?!
I can only say...
How do I say that... I am REALLY not popular with girls.
Did you EVER have a girlfriend? - I had one.
When was that? - When I was 21
I get asked that a lot. I might look like I am a player but I am really not.
Not sure what I can say here, if it's too bad please feel free to cut it.
I only had one girlfriend who experienced things with and who I dated.
It was just her.
I was thinking I would be single forever.
You seem really serious about relationships then.
I am!
I mean I am saying this by myself. But I am not a player type.
Even though everyone seems to think I am.
Some of my friends go to ... certain amusement places ... I don't have to specify which ones...
Men do that right. But I don't go to places like that.
I am not interested in those places.
You are not interested in adult bars.
Yeah I don't go to those.
If I am asking too intimate questions, please tell me, ok. - It's fine.
Do you think you are one of the recently rising "vegetarian boys" of Japan?
I might be. Maybe not that I am not interested in girls...
But since my childhood...
I have never felt "love at first sight" or "that girl is so cute". Things like that.
For me it takes me a lot of time to fall for someone.
I am not the type who judges girls by their visual appearance either.
I am more interested what type of person they are. That's why...
So starting a relationship from a friendship is your way?
That's probably the only way. I don't suddenly fall for people.
Maybe that's why I am still single.
So first become friends... maybe get along better than just friends... that's when it can happen?
Yes. I used to study psychology too.
I might think from a psychological standpoint if that relationship would work out. I know that's not good...
You overthink the other person or your actions?
I think ahead like "things would get like that.. and then as result that could happen.."
I think about that a lot, and if we are a good match.
Or what hurdles we would be facing on the long run.
You already think of the future ahead!!!
You are really the earnest type. - You think so?
I might be more careful than the average Japanese person.
Have you ever been cheated on or cheated? - Not at all.
Sorry for being rude, but it seems you have less relationship experience...
Yeah I don't.
What WOULD you do if your partner cheated. - Nothing I think. I'd be like "Oh you did?"
I am the type that.... would also think I am partly responsible.
If something happens in the relationship, I am a half of it and I am thus partly a reason.
That's the type of human I am.
If she cheats on me, that means I didn't do my part right.
Do you think it means you didn't try your best?
If someone cheats, that means they prefer someone over you right?
I am the type of human, if something happens at work or life, I will partly feel responsible.
If someone cheats, that means they like someone else right?
So I didn't do my part right, what can I do better?
Instead of splitting up, would you try harder to win her over?
That depends on the situation. I never have been in that situation you see.
I think I wouldn't date a person that would do that in the first place.
Thank you so much for taking my interview! - No worries.
Feel free to plug your channel again!
My YouTube channel is Sora the Troll...
I do three themes: English speaking Japanese person...
... what if an anime character lived in real life...
... and being super cringe.
I am totally being cringe.
You won't see people being that cringe in Japan.
Be sure to check him out too. - Thank you so much.
To be honest we did some crazy things during the pandemic, this channel Ask Japanese...
you won't believe what we did, we went to parks, we put hundreds of shells of dead bugs in my hair
we caught bugs, we had snakes, dangerous animals, we did all kinds of shenanigans
We filmed from home, from parks, from outside of Tokyo, just the streets of Tokyo
not in the studio, in the studio, we did a lot of things, we did remote interviews as well
we did fact video and made "travel videos anime style"
things that we have seen in anime we saw that we could re-create that in real life
All of those videos were creative and very fun, I loved those a lot!
If you haven't seen any of those ones yet I can recommend you THIS one
Be sure to check that one out and thank you so much for subscribing to our channel.
Looking forward to seeing you in the next video!
