Translation & Subtitles: thoseguiltyeyes | scandal-heaven.com
Good morning.
00:00:01.650 --> 00:00:06.641
I've been posting a bunch of videos rather suddenly recently, haven't I?
00:00:07.084 --> 00:00:09.545
I've been thinking that as well.
00:00:09.631 --> 00:00:13.930
I've changed my editing style a bit and stopped adding [Japanese] subtitles.
00:00:14.661 --> 00:00:18.928
After I started thinking about doing videos as if they're diaries
00:00:18.928 --> 00:00:23.178
rather than doing them whenever something happens,
00:00:23.844 --> 00:00:26.754
I can just start recording whenever I feel like it.
00:00:26.807 --> 00:00:28.823
And so I am filming this video today.
00:00:29.391 --> 00:00:30.506
Today,
00:00:30.506 --> 00:00:31.821
let's see...
00:00:31.821 --> 00:00:37.141
I have a meeting for something to look forward to in the future.
00:00:37.246 --> 00:00:39.896
What kind of meeting, you ask?
00:00:40.720 --> 00:00:42.050
Every year--
00:00:42.050 --> 00:00:45.823
well, it's not decided that I'll make it every year,
00:00:45.823 --> 00:00:49.990
but I basically make a zine once per year.
00:00:49.990 --> 00:00:54.590
I make a zine when ideas come to me, and they're filled with things that I like.
00:00:54.930 --> 00:01:04.410
I had an idea at the end of last year to perhaps make one.
00:01:04.489 --> 00:01:07.109
That's what this meeting is for--
00:01:07.109 --> 00:01:13.058
or rather, I'll be going to specifically convey the thoughts I have.
00:01:13.058 --> 00:01:14.777
That's why I'm really excited.
00:01:14.777 --> 00:01:18.259
What shall I talk about today?
00:01:18.259 --> 00:01:23.679
Oh yeah, recently--well, this topic's going to take a while to get through,
00:01:23.679 --> 00:01:27.199
and I need to head out in another two minutes!
00:01:27.251 --> 00:01:28.368
So hold on for a bit.
00:01:28.368 --> 00:01:30.648
Should I do it after I get home?
(That's the only choice I have)
00:01:30.998 --> 00:01:33.102
That is the only choice I have.
(Yeah)
00:01:33.205 --> 00:01:37.504
For the time being, I need to get ready to leave.
00:01:38.462 --> 00:01:40.252
I'm cutting this too close.
00:01:40.252 --> 00:01:41.452
I'm home.
00:01:41.995 --> 00:01:44.855
Ah, I can't wait. I hope I can do it.
00:01:44.885 --> 00:01:47.265
Please look forward to the finished item.
00:01:47.265 --> 00:01:51.595
I wondered what I should talk about today,
00:01:51.595 --> 00:01:57.305
and so there's this really interesting drama I watched recently.
00:01:57.769 --> 00:02:04.459
There's this drama called 30 Made ni to Urusakute (Picky Until 30) streaming on Abema TV.
00:02:04.596 --> 00:02:10.596
It focuses on a group of four women who are good friends,
00:02:10.596 --> 00:02:14.926
and a bunch of stories unfold from there.
00:02:14.952 --> 00:02:19.432
I think you can tell by the title,
00:02:19.432 --> 00:02:23.223
but turning 30 for women...
00:02:23.223 --> 00:02:26.589
Well, this might be regardless of gender,
00:02:26.589 --> 00:02:34.529
but turning 30 is a big cutoff point.
00:02:34.562 --> 00:02:37.852
I'm currently 30 years old,
00:02:37.852 --> 00:02:41.122
and although nothing's changed,
00:02:41.122 --> 00:02:47.272
I did feel like, "Oh, I'm turning 30!"
00:02:47.342 --> 00:02:52.938
You have ideals that you want to accomplish by the age of 30,
00:02:52.938 --> 00:02:58.048
like building your career, becoming the ideal you,
00:02:58.048 --> 00:03:01.643
getting married, having kids...
00:03:01.643 --> 00:03:07.019
It's a time to think about things realistically.
00:03:07.019 --> 00:03:10.029
A lot of things can sting.
00:03:10.153 --> 00:03:15.783
It's the drama series that I've enjoyed the most recently.
00:03:15.822 --> 00:03:17.922
Is there anyone who's seen it?
00:03:17.922 --> 00:03:20.895
If you have, I'd love to talk about it.
(Let's discuss it in the comments)
00:03:21.456 --> 00:03:29.676
My childhood friends from back home seem to be getting married and having kids exactly at this time.
00:03:29.676 --> 00:03:33.636
And... How should I put it...
00:03:33.636 --> 00:03:39.436
I have friends who married someone they dating for a long time and then had a kid,
00:03:39.436 --> 00:03:47.636
and also friends whose mothers were like, "You're turning 30 soon. I'd love to have a grandchild."
00:03:47.725 --> 00:03:55.825
Looking back, that really was a time when I heard tons of stories like that.
00:03:56.290 --> 00:03:59.380
I think I talked about this in a previous video,
00:03:59.380 --> 00:04:01.810
about what I'd like to be by a certain age.
00:04:01.810 --> 00:04:04.620
I'm not really the type to do that.
00:04:04.620 --> 00:04:09.280
But what I said then about wanting to do something at a given time
00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:15.480
and to be true to myself applies to a lot of different things.
00:04:15.731 --> 00:04:18.277
That's about it.
00:04:18.277 --> 00:04:21.627
I'm fine with that.
00:04:22.513 --> 00:04:25.083
I'm not really sure what my point is.
00:04:25.409 --> 00:04:33.269
Like...it made me think once more that it's good to have a lot of options and ways of thinking.
00:04:33.440 --> 00:04:40.330
Also, that drama was just so much fun to watch. It was so interesting.
00:04:40.390 --> 00:04:44.540
Also, after the main story concluded....
00:04:44.640 --> 00:04:47.210
Wait, this might be a spoiler. Is it okay to mention?
00:04:47.760 --> 00:04:52.030
Those who don't want to be spoiled, please skip ahead.
(What's with my hand)
00:04:52.389 --> 00:04:57.192
There's a story from a guy's point of view,
00:04:57.192 --> 00:05:00.202
and I thought that was also really great.
00:05:00.936 --> 00:05:09.929
Stories that feature different standpoints and viewpoints are really great.
00:05:09.929 --> 00:05:11.753
(I have a lot of discussion topics on my phone)
00:05:11.753 --> 00:05:13.983
Ah, that's right.
00:05:13.983 --> 00:05:19.063
My nail tech has the same exact birthday as me.
00:05:19.063 --> 00:05:23.593
She's been doing my nails for about 10 years.
00:05:23.593 --> 00:05:25.965
Her name's Macchan,
(Love you, Macchan)
00:05:26.085 --> 00:05:33.525
and the other day she did my nails, which had broke, before our tour started.
00:05:33.525 --> 00:05:35.275
They're painted brown right now.
00:05:35.275 --> 00:05:37.685
I have them short for the first time in forever,
00:05:37.685 --> 00:05:40.429
and it made me realize that short nails are really cute.
00:05:40.914 --> 00:05:42.834
I think I might keep this length for a bit.
00:05:42.834 --> 00:05:46.591
So, when she was doing my nails,
00:05:46.591 --> 00:05:53.032
she asked me if I watched Love Is Blind [Japan].
00:05:53.237 --> 00:05:57.857
It's a dating reality show streaming on Netflix.
00:05:57.857 --> 00:06:02.747
I had started watching it little by little after it started airing,
00:06:02.747 --> 00:06:04.647
but I hadn't watched it all the way through.
00:06:05.547 --> 00:06:09.547
I listened to Macchan talk about it as she did my nails,
00:06:09.547 --> 00:06:13.127
and I couldn't believe how exciting it sounded.
00:06:13.127 --> 00:06:17.197
As soon as I got home, I watched it all in one go.
00:06:17.307 --> 00:06:23.157
The second half of the show is really interesting.
00:06:23.171 --> 00:06:26.478
It's such a crazy premise.
00:06:26.940 --> 00:06:29.340
It sure is something.
00:06:29.340 --> 00:06:34.710
So yeah, I enjoyed watching those series at home.
00:06:35.129 --> 00:06:38.674
Please tell me this in the comments.
(Any recommendations or thoughts on the series I mentioned)
00:06:40.066 --> 00:06:44.796
It doesn't matter if you've seen these series or not,
00:06:44.796 --> 00:06:47.576
but yeah, there are different ways of thinking.
00:06:47.637 --> 00:06:55.033
Ultimately, whatever you decide is what's most important.
00:06:55.166 --> 00:07:02.516
It's also totally fine to make plans to do something by a certain age.
00:07:02.658 --> 00:07:09.369
And I think it's more satisfying when you decide everything for yourself.
00:07:09.422 --> 00:07:16.423
That friend whose mother said she wants her to get married and give her a grandchild,
00:07:16.423 --> 00:07:21.803
she decided herself to proceed with that decision,
00:07:21.803 --> 00:07:24.383
and I think that was great in and of itself.
00:07:24.976 --> 00:07:32.502
I don't think it's wrong to be like, "I need to be like this by this age,"
00:07:32.502 --> 00:07:43.679
but I'd like for everyone to decide how they want to proceed and enjoy it.
00:07:43.679 --> 00:07:45.445
That's always what I think.
00:07:45.445 --> 00:07:54.385
So when you're worried about your age or need to give something up,
00:07:54.385 --> 00:07:56.337
take a deep breath.
00:07:56.337 --> 00:08:06.037
I want you to think that you can do anything at any time.
00:08:06.037 --> 00:08:11.172
That wonderful drama I happened upon made me think of that once more.
00:08:11.232 --> 00:08:13.103
It was so interesting.
00:08:14.428 --> 00:08:16.140
That's about it.
00:08:16.813 --> 00:08:19.616
Today's video ended up being another one of me just talking.
00:08:19.786 --> 00:08:22.628
Thanks for your hard work today!
00:08:22.768 --> 00:08:24.716
Please make sure to rest up.
00:08:25.261 --> 00:08:28.026
I had fun talking a lot.
00:08:28.026 --> 00:08:32.351
(It seems like it's the end but it's not)
I always feel kind of awkward when I start and end my YouTube videos.
00:08:32.351 --> 00:08:33.264
(I'll do my best)
00:08:33.696 --> 00:08:35.125
See you later!
00:08:35.355 --> 00:08:37.101
Goodnight!
