That’s interesting! It rarely snowed in my hometown, too, so when I was a child and it snowed, I was so excited. But I remember my parents panicking because the trains stopped running.🤣

I see! Studying abroad can be such a valuable experience, so I understand your feelings. As we grow older, I believe responsibilities at work or within the family may limit the freedom to pursue various things. However, we should always make an effort not to close off possibilities for ourselves. 🫡

@ You're right. It's important not to give up.🫶

Your passion and regret really come through in your words. I can relate, as I also had moments during university when I relied on past exam papers to pass instead of fully engaging in the lectures. Looking back, I sometimes wish I had taken my studies more seriously.🫤 While going back to university may be challenging now, it's never too late to start traveling or studying. I often find myself putting off things I want to do for financial or time reasons, but as you said, living a life without regrets starts with cherishing today. Let’s both take steps toward the things we truly want to do! 😉

It's never too late! You’re watching our videos and leaving comments daily, so your skills are improving. But I know that movie dialogue can be swift with lots of linking sounds, so I think all that’s left is getting used to it. Keep it up-you’re closer than you think! 😋

Thank you for your comment, and welcome to the channel! 😊 "Jingle Bells" is such a nostalgic choice and a song that many people around the world recognize. I also remember singing it with everyone when I was a child, but I think it was the Japanese version! 🤔

That’s a smart approach! By using cash for smaller amounts, you don’t have to carry a lot of money, and even if you lose your wallet, the damage won’t be too big.😮

@ That's exactly right. And since the outbreak of the coronavirus, it seems like cashless payments have increased and diversified in Japan. Sweet dreams 🌝

I’m the same way! I don’t intentionally avoid cash-only stores, but I rarely use cash anymore since most places accept cashless payments. I also have a few credit cards I no longer use, and I keep telling myself I need to cancel them… but somehow, a few years have already gone by without doing it. 😅

I see! It does seem like many small, individually run shops still only accept cash. At the same time, I feel those stores often have unique bargains or great deals you can’t find elsewhere. So, it depends on what we value-convenience or the charm of those local shops! 😊

I'm glad you took the time to comment, even though it’s getting late. 😊 When I first saw the title, I couldn’t recall the song, but after searching for it, I realized, “Oh, it’s that song!” I didn’t know it was featured in Die Hard. Since the movie has such an intense and action-packed image, the contrast with this calm and cheerful song is really intriguing! 😎

Both are truly wonderful songs! I feel like they’re familiar even to Japanese people who aren’t fluent in English. Whether it’s English or Japanese, Christmas songs always seem full of timeless classics. I wonder why that is. Maybe it’s because they capture the warmth and joy of the holiday season so well.🎶

I completely understand how you feel. I also always check the discount section for food, but I make sure to inspect it closely to ensure it’s not spoiled.🤩 That said, in my case, I’m not thinking about contributing to food loss reduction. Honestly, I’m just driven by the desire to buy cheap items rather than by any sense of social contribution! 😏

I’ve had plenty of shoe-related regrets myself, too.😂 Shoes take so much wear and tear, so durability is the most important thing. After so many failed purchases, I’ve decided to buy from the same brand I know I can trust! 🫤

@ Indeed, that is wise. There is no failure.🤗

It was really unlucky that all of them broke within six months. Not all inexpensive items are bad, and there’s also a special kind of happiness when a cheap purchase turns out to be surprisingly good. It’s definitely a tricky balance to find. 🤔

That sounds like a positive change! I hope this healthy habit continues to bring you energy and peace in your daily life! 😁

I’ve heard it helps with digestion and circulation. Starting and ending the day with something warm might be a simple and perfect way to refresh both your mind and body. 🫡

@ Thank you😊 I thought the same thing and started drinking hot water. It seems that drinking hot water is becoming popular these days. Sweet dreams 💫✨

I feel the same way! I wouldn’t say I like the idea of consuming calories through drinks. Since I already indulge in chocolate and cake, I try to resist with beverages.😋 I didn’t know there could be differences in tap water. I’ve lived in a few different areas, but I guess my palate isn’t refined enough to notice the differences! 🤣

They all sound so soothing! Ginger tea seems like a wonderful way to warm up the body. I think I’ll try incorporating it into my routine this winter. 🤩

I understand that approach! The smartest way to shop may be not by focusing on the price, but by deciding based on whether you truly want the item or not, the way you do.😎

@ You are right🤗

I completely understand how you feel. When I think about it, I only buy lucky bags from companies I really trust. When the contents are a complete mystery, it’s easy to worry that they might just be filled with leftover items that didn’t sell.😂 I’m sorry for causing you concern. I’ll make sure to be more careful so that it doesn’t happen again. 🫡

Wow! Were you really stuck there for three days? I’m so curious to know what that situation was like-what happened? 🤣 You’re right, though-when you think about waiting in line, the cost performance doesn’t always seem worth it. I've also only been buying lucky bags that can be ordered online recently.🤔

Thank you! I hope you’ll continue watching again starting tomorrow. 😉

@ Yeah! I will😁 Sweet dreams💫

ご心配をおかけし、申し訳ありませんでした。 全く理解できない状況でも、継続する能力は素晴らしいと思います。難易度が高すぎると大抵の人はモチベーションが下がりますからね。。 これからも一緒に頑張っていきましょう！🫡

いつもコメントありがとうございます。 朝のぱーぷりんさんのコメントで異変に気付くことができました。😂

Thank you for sharing your opinion. You’re right-the background may not be the core of the videos, but I’m happy to know it helps you feel relaxed, even just a little. Creating these videos takes some effort, but my top priority is making content that viewers like you can enjoy. I’ll carefully consider how to create the best videos moving forward. Thank you for your continued support!😊

Thank you for your thoughtful response. I asked this question because I want to hear as many opinions from viewers as possible. While it’s difficult to reflect everyone’s ideas perfectly, I will definitely take your suggestions into consideration. Oh, and by the way, your English was very clear and easy to understand!😎

ご丁寧な返信をありがとうございます。以前に英語を知ることができる上、美しい景色も見ることができて有難いです、というコメントをさせて頂きました。（今も変わりません） 今日の質問から変更をお考えなのかと、主旨からズレた事も勝手に述べてしまいました（すみません🙇🏻‍♀️）が、為になる動画をあげて下さっていることには変わりありません。 これからもご無理なきよう、よろしくお願い致します🍀

お気遣いのお言葉、ありがとうございます。😊 景色を映されると気が散ると言われた方もいらっしゃったので、他の方はどういうお考えなのか、と思い、ご質問させていただきました。 とはいえ、本質は英語学習なので、より良い学習動画を作れるよう、精進いたします！

Thank you for your response. I really like how you expressed that “even if the content is difficult, the background is easy on the eyes.” I’ll definitely keep this in mind for future video creation.😚

That’s a smart and practical idea! With an unlimited lifespan, the power of long-term investment would truly shine. And having financial security forever would definitely make life stress-free. I hope you’d use that wealth not only for comfort but also for creating wonderful experiences and helping others!🫡

That’s a wonderful mindset. I think it’s truly amazing to find new joys and discoveries as we grow older. Living forever might not be as meaningful as cherishing the present moment.🫡

What an inspiring dream! Living a life where you move from continent to continent every month sounds amazing. And don’t worry about speaking English-if money is no object, you could just hire an interpreter or buy a device that instantly translates for you. After all, you’d have plenty of money to make it happen! 😎 But being so realistic is so you. 😉

That's an amazing idea! I wonder how much it would cost to create a "どこでもドア." If you ever manage to build one, please let me use it just once! 🙇‍♂️

Balance is key to everything. Many people seem to get frustrated when they’re always around family, but it’s wonderful that you’re so grateful for your current environment. I hope you continue to have a great relationship with your family! 🫡

That’s such a wonderful habit! Taking care of your own mind every day must be the key to staying calm and collected. I really admire people who have such a clear understanding of themselves. 😎

That sounds like such an interesting series! The way you described it is so well done that it really makes me want to watch it. It seems that I can’t access it with my current subscription setup, but I’ll definitely keep it on my list to check out in the future. Thanks for the recommendation! 🤩

I’ve watched "葬送のフリーレン" too, and I thought it was wonderful! I’ve heard "坂の上の雲" is quite popular as well. I don’t watch much TV, but maybe I’ll check it out online if it becomes available. 🤔

いつもご視聴ありがとうございます。 大変申し訳ありませんが、今の動画も、背景は映像です。。 貴重なご意見ありがとうございます。今後の動画作成の参考にさせていただきます。 今後ともよろしくお願いいたします！

That’s relatively recent!😉 It’s surprising how quickly UA-cam has become such an integral part of so many people’s daily lives.😚

@ Yeah! UA-cam has become indispensable, at least for me now.

You've been watching UA-cam for quite a long time! I’m not sure what kind of videos were available back then, but now it’s such a versatile platform with videos for entertainment, learning, and so much more. It’s really convenient.😊

Thank you so much for celebrating Tone up English's 1st anniversary with me! I'm pleased you’ve been enjoying and finding the videos helpful. We’ll do my best to keep creating content that you’ll love! 🌟 I completely agree with you! Nowadays, you can learn so many things through videos, like studying for certifications or even fixing small issues with your car. Plus, being able to listen while doing something else is such a huge advantage. 😚

Oh, so it’s relatively recent! Since you always leave comments, I thought you were a UA-cam master. Thank you so much for always watching and leaving comments! 😊

That's a wonderful way to spend your time! It’s thoughtful of you to be mindful of others while drawing them. I imagine your sketches must capture some amazing moments and details! 🤩

I hardly watch TV these days either. There have been a lot of news stories recently that make me think about how the media reports information. With so much information available, just looking things up can be really interesting. 🤔

You must have been exhausted. I sometimes don't realize how exhausted I am when I’m busy. Let’s take it easy and keep doing our best at a steady pace. 🤗

That's wonderful! I've also been focusing on a healthier lifestyle with more vegetables lately, but living as a vegan must take a great deal of effort and dedication. 🤗

@@ToneupEnglish It's not that difficult if I focus on mushrooms and soy products.😊

That's wonderful! I only use floss about once a week because I find it a bit tedious, so I admire your dedication. I've also struggled with cavities quite a bit, so I’d love to take care of my teeth as thoroughly as you do... but my laid-back personality makes it hard to stick to such a routine. 😅

That's a wonderful mindset! I try to buy local produce too, not only to support farmers but also because it’s often fresher and tastier! 🤩

That’s nice! The moisture from laundry does act as a natural humidifier. I also suffer from hay fever every year, but thankfully, it hasn’t been too bad this year. Fingers crossed it stays that way! 😚

The combination of a stove and a kettle really gives off that cozy winter feeling! I use a humidifier in my current home, but hearing about your experience, I’ll make sure to be extra careful to prevent mold from forming. Thanks for the reminder!🫡

That sounds like a good approach-taking your time to accomplish things steadily and at your own pace. I hope your plans for the upcoming year, like improving your health and learning more about investment, go smoothly. Best of luck with everything!😉 Do you design New Year’s cards yourself? That’s so impressive-you’re multitalented! 🤩

I see! I’m not great at tidying my desk, so I totally understand how you feel. Let’s both start the new year with clean desks and make it a great one together! 🫡

お褒めのお言葉ありがとうございます！ まさに、日本人に意味が通じる範囲内で、なるべく直訳にしようと心掛けているので、そこを褒めていただき、とても嬉しいです。
