Have you ever thought about making your own channel?
I thought about it but I would need the equipment.
But when I see what other YouTubers have done I always think I can't do that.
I just watch it. I don't think I can make that.
Making is difficult. Watching is easy.
Do you have any friends who make YouTube videos?
Some of my online friends do that.
Like, shake a carbonated drink, put something on top and see how far it flies.
Just random stuff like that.
In my circle of friends are some who dance to a song and such.
Some also those who do vocal covers of songs or...
copying a play they have seen.
I have friends like that.
Have you guys thought about making your own channel?
- Not really. - I couldn't! It's too embarrassing.
Have you thought about making your own channel?
I would like to throw Mentos into Cola and see what happens.
Funny videos like that.
Those were all questions, thank you.
As you could see everyone watched YouTube depending on personal tastes.
There's no "general" thing you can find. Obviously there are the famous
YouTubers like Hajime Shacho and such.
But other people just looked at stuff they are interested in.
For example music videos online.
From their favourite artists or similar or maybe cosplay dance groups
Everything just depends on what you are into.
People watch a lot of YouTube in Japan.
So on that note...
There is the Ask Japanese channel and we have a couple of other channels.
If you haven't seen it be nice if you could come over to my channel and
join me on my channel as well.
I talk about Japanese stuff and sometimes do crazy things
and if you are on my Twitter you might be able to see the face of the director
Cause he is on his phone right now so I call tell you this... now he looks shocked
If you follow my Twitter you will be able to see a picture of him...
he doesn't look impressed.
So that's how you can find out how he looks. hehe.
Anyways have a lovely day, catch you soon on Ask Japanese.
