I have 2 things to tell you. I am trying to write this as unemotionally as possible. I got married last month. It hasn't been that long since I met her, so I didn't expect to get married this year, but that's life (in a good way)! No kid yet, but with any luck, next year, or in 2025 maybe? The 2nd announcement is that this will probably be my last video. My life is no longer just mine. I will have to spend my time for my family, that would make me happy. I know there are people who have families and still do UA-cam or something, but I am not that talented. I said "this will probably be my last video" because there is no 100% in life. So probably, but most likely. There were a few times when I wanted to quit. For the first few months, no one really watched my videos. I wondered what was the point of doing this while shooting and editing. Even after I got many subscribers, it wasn't all good. I received mean comments, and sometimes racist comments about Japanese people. But more than that, your positive feedbacks encouraged me. Originally, I started this with the casual intention of doing it just only during the pandemic. I never thought I would continue this long. Thank you all. I especially want to thank those who supported me on Patreon and those who tipped me here. I still can't believe that people so far away from Japan are paying for something I created. I also want to thank those who subscribed in the very early stage. Like I said, I remember well that for the first few months my videos were not really watched by anyone. I was encouraged so much by comments from those who subscribed such channel. I also know that there are types of people in this world who never comment but secretly support someone very enthusiastically. Thanks to you as well. Well, those who are watching my video for the first time right now may be a little confused. I will thank you too if you take a weekend to watch all my videos and subscribe. Just kidding. Thanks for watching (my fans have endured these kinds of boring jokes for years). Maybe what I want to tell you most is not that I got married or that this is the last. It is that I am truly grateful to you guys. Thank you so much.
That is a good news. What a wondeful journey, My Friend. I pray you will have more wonderful live with your Wife and Kids ☦️ You have talent, My Friend. You can enjoy simple things in life, that means you can find the Beauty and Richness in simple things [I know since i have watched many of your videos]. That is truly remarkable because we lived in modern society and yet i found very few people that can do it. You are truly living in the moment, Bro. Like the legend said that, "Right before we die, Our lives will flashing before our eyes" So, here is my message for you: I hope even if you quit UA-cam. Let your camera lenses becomes your own eyes. Let your digital memories becomes your own brain. Let your own camera [which is your own body] record every single happiness with your Family. So, when the time comes, if the Legend is true. That will be the most Amazing Vlog you will ever made to God. And you are the only one who can enjoy that Vlog. Let God see your meaningful live, My Brother. That's all i gotta say, Thank You, Brother. Your videos are like my friend during pandemic.
Congratulations Ryo! It's sad that this is your last video but I, as a subscriber for the past few years, am happy you have found a wife and will have a family! I wish you the best of luck on your journey through life! If anything, you could possibly re-upload some of your older deleted videos, I throughly enjoyed watching them late at night and changing my routine to a similar pattern you did.
Congratulations on getting married!! 🎉🎉🎉 Will be missing your new videos but will keep coming back to your channel, for the old ones. Take care, God bless❤🙏🏼
Firstly, congratulations on getting married! I’m happy that you found a life partner. You’ve got your priorities straight. Selfishly I’ll miss your vlogs. They are incredibly well done and I enjoy your wry humor (didn’t know Ferrari made subcompacts!). Hope to see you back again on YT someday.
Thanks of all Ryo. I'm from Italy and I've enjoyed every of your touching videos since the "Sorekara Melancholy" times. I've always thought that you are exceptionally talented in storytelling. I've appreciated your attention for the small things, the perfect chilling music, your intimate filming style, your thoughts shared in the subtitles and your funny jokes. Your videos even helped me during some tough days. Not gonna lie, I'll be missing your videos so much 😭 I wish you all the best with your new life chapter! And I will be here again if you eventually decide to return ❤
Reading your announcement feels like when I had to lose my best friend because of his marriage choice. It's very sad, but on the other hand, I am very happy that you have finally found and embarked on one of the stages toward happiness. Certainly, I will lose contact with someone I thought I would grow old with. It can be challenging since we choose a life where people come and go all the time. However, I've learned to live with the fact that not everyone is going to stay forever. I am accepting what comes and allowing it to leave when it's time. Dear Ryo, thank you for creating and sharing all the beautifully crafted cinematography videos. Each one has left a profound impact on my life, especially during the challenges of the pandemic. Your choice of emotionally stirring background sounds has made each memory unforgettable. Stay steadfast in your life choices; I will always support you and eagerly await your return as a subscriber. Till then, keep healthy and always happy 🤍
Congratulations Ryo! I rarely comment on any videos and I'm commenting to let you know that your videos were therapy to me, they still are. I have somekind of locomotive disability since birth. So, I don't really know how walking feels like and never really explored the world. You're style of volgging was unique since they were silent vlogs. I absoutely loved them, as it felt like I was in that place. I discovered your channel maybe around the fall of 2021 and binged them all (the old vlogs too which are unforuntely unavailable now). I still watch your videos. I watched this very video after a week you published it and then I read the pinned comment. I'm happy for you and I'm sad too. This is the second time I'm watching this and I thought I should comment. Stay healthy.
Congratulations Ryo! I have not commented before, but thought I should since this is your last video. I just wanted to say thank you for making these videos. I have watched them for years, since you had a couple hundred subscribers, and they have become like an old friend to me, giving me peace and companionship when I needed it most. All the best, wishing you a happy and healthy family life.
Congratulations on your marriage!! I know this kinda late because i just remembered you haven't uploaded any videos lately, and i just happened to look at the comment section this time. But anyways surely i will miss ur videos, but the good thing is one of my favourite go-to youtuber is getting married. I've read some of the comments and most of them did a very nice job at congratulating, but i think i cant do the same like them because im just suck at it. But what im hoping is hopefully you guys have a wonderful life ahead. Married lifes not going to go smoothly but hold on to ur partner and said to her "We'll get through this no matter what." or something like that yknow what i mean. again, anyway, hopefully you guys can enjoy this life together and forever and have a wonderful, wonderful! Time together. also thank you fo the videos you had made. They really accompanied me when im eating foods and stuff theyre really nice and calming to watch! Again congratulations Ryo-san! (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)
Congratulations on the wedding!... I've been here since the pandemic, and i have to say... Your videos have always helped me... I really hope this isn't the last, but if it is, thank you so much for creating such beautiful content. Best of wishes to you and your family :)
I am happy for your new life, I wish you and your wife a beautiful life together! you really deserve it. I found out about your channel during the pandemic and I recommended it to all my friends and coworkers. I love your country and I love your videos. It's a little sad to know that this may be the last time I see something on your channel. I just have to thank you. for your time and for the unique beauty of your videos, it really moved me when I saw them and made me very happy. Thank you very much for everything, warm greetings from Argentina.❤
Congrats on getting married man, your videos have brought so much enjoyment and relaxation to me over the past years, so I really hope the next chapter in life is full of happiness and joy, for both you and your partner. I Really look forward to seeing more of these travel vlogs if you ever decide to return, thank you so much for creating these wonderful videos. 💜
Please don't delete you channel we love your videos. They help me so much to relax and travel, when my life was ao noisy. Thank you for everything you are truly talented and congratulations 🎉
It's sad that this will be your last video. But congratulations on your wedding!!! Success for your new life. I just wanted to say thank you for all your warm videos. Your videos healed me. I hope you don't delete your videos so I can keep watching them. I apologize if my English is not good. Thank you ^^
Hi Ryo, congrats on getting married! I have really enjoyed watching your videos this past year and I am really glad you put the hard work into making them. I wish you and your family the best going forward.
Thank you for making this video. It's so informative (as always) and truly captured the beauty of Nagasaki. Congratulations on getting married. All the best to you and your wife and hopefully build the best family. Sayonara. Arigato Gozaimasu. 💯👋
Many congratulations Ryo on getting married!! I have always loved your films right from the earliest ones; so calm & peaceful. This film was brilliant, really interesting. Your films will be missed, but you must enjoy your new life. Very best wishes to you.
Don't feel any pressure, just film whenever you feel like it, melancholy and calmness is found everywhere if you look, so maybe we'll see you again someday. And of course congratulations to the wedding.
Thank you Sorekara Melancholy, I enjoyed your videos for a long time. It seems the name change was good, because you put melancholy behind you. I am sad to see you go, your travel videos are special. Good luck with everything! We will watch if you do come back!
I checked out your channel after 4-5 months only to find out that this could be your last video. I really loved your vlogs, I've watched all of them multiple times. Watching your vlogs made me feel like I'm traveling together with you. I really wish that in the near future you'd continue to make such videos. Last but not the least, congratulations on getting married. Wish you two a lovely and healthy life.
Congratulations Ryo. Best wishes to you and your wife. I have really enjoyed all your videos especially this last one. I learnt another lesson about Japan’s history that I didn’t know before. I will miss your videos but life goes on and your new life is just beginning. All the very best to you both. Love and peace from Australia ❤
Oh my... what wonderful news of your marriage! I'm so very happy for you, dear Ryo. ❤️ I hope it's possible for you to let us know when you are expecting & when your babies arrive! Maybe a "short" once in awhile? Love & blessings to you & your loved ones!! ❤❤🎉
@sorekaratravel4533 Thanks for your kind words! Yes, we don't know anything about the future. You mentioned 'no kid, yet', so I assumed you're looking forward to at least one of em! 😊 If it's what you & your wife want, I hope you have them. Whatever happens, I wish you every happiness & success!! ❤️🧡
Sad to hear you are not going to produce more videos but who knows. When you share your past work with your wife and family (hopefully) they will get to know you so much better and one day you might make another video. You are a talented story teller and video as your medium has given me and 100,000+ others so much pleasure.
This was one of my 3 favourite blogs, I'll miss it a lot! Thank you for your effort and may you have a very blessed future There are not more channels like this 😢
I'm happy for you, Ryo, thank you for this "last" video, my friend, thanks for all these wonderfoul video you have done during these years. Thanks for existing and God bless you and your wife.
Congrats on your marriage, if this is the last video then it was a beautiful and moving one. Thanks for all your hard work, may life treat you and your family kindly!
what a way to make an announcement❤.... i liked all your videos ( actually haven't watch some yet starting from the taiwan vlog😅 also busy here but for some reason, i felt i need to watch this while having lunch... now i know)... thanks for sharing your life status and best wishes to you and your wife.... sure, do what seems fit to you but keep this channel and cime back whenever you want to.... many people will still be reached by your videosn they're awesome, well put together....i think this is my first time to comment😁.... i am silent viewer and glad you are aware of the diff kinds of viewers❤.... God bless you!!!! we'll be waiting for you🙏....
Congratulations on your marriage ! I am sad to hear that this is probably your last video. I send a heart-felt thank you for all that you have given us. I truly have loved each of your videos. It is clear that you put in so much time, effort, and care to each and every one. For this I am truly appreciative. Wishing you a lifetime of happiness and success !!!
First of all, congratulations on your wedding and I hope you have a happy marriage and life! It is pretty sad that I probably won't be seeing any new videos from you here. You are one of my favorite creators in UA-cam; I've not yet found anyone who made these types of videos the way you do - such a great combination of topic, silent storytelling/narration, shot composition, and choice of music. My favorites are probably your old videos showing your daily lives, and seeing how you turn something usually so mundane into something so beautiful, at least to me, is something wonderful. The old channel name of Sorekara Melancholy is truly a fitting name for those, I think. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for creating these little masterpieces in this corner of UA-cam. In the end life goes on, and as you found your own way, I can only hope that we could meet again in some type or form in the future. Much love and appreciation for all that you do, and I wish you all the best!
Thank you for sharing less known Japan. I hope I will be able to visit such a lovely nation one day. Take care and all the best for your new journey in life.
Thank you for sharing the important history of the hidden Christians in Japan and the trials that they had to go through - it is something that should not be forgotten indeed. It is sad that this is probably your last video - many of us will miss your peaceful and picturesque videos, but congratulations on getting married and wishing you and your wife the very best for the road ahead! :)
🥰This is wonderful news. Congratulations on your wedding!! I have enjoyed all your great adventures and your photos. Thank you for sharing those great moments. One of my favorite quotes, “That last page turned is a perfect excuse to write a whole new book.” ~ Toni Sorenson ~ 🙌 So happy for you.
Congratulations on getting married! Thank you as always for your beautiful videos. They are meaningful in many ways and I personally have enjoyed every one of them. Here's wishing you and your wife a wonderful journey together!
Thanks for giving highlight to hidden Christians. The last time I was in Japan, I lingered for quite some time at St. Mary’s Cathedral. I hope someday to do the same in the places you have shown. Sending my best wishes for this new chapter in your life. May you and your family enjoy a long and healthy life. Now, I can't wait to binge-watch all your videos!
Finding your second half is a great thing! Congratulations! I wish you the very best. Oh, and, of course, thanks for the videos! Watched them all with great interest.
Congratulations on your marriage and I wish you well in your next stage of life. I’ve enjoyed your videos and would like to thank you for sharing your travels with us all. Your country is very beautiful and it’s been a pleasure seeing it through your lens. ❤
Ryu, As long as I can remember, I have been fascinated with Japan. What started as a young American boy who simply loved the idea of ninjas has grown into a young adult with an immense appreciation for the beauty of Japan, of it's people's culture, of the art and architecture, and of it's history. Over many years, I have consumed countless media that is either Japanese in origin or depicting it. I found your channel when looking for something authentic, and I'm glad I came across one of your videos. You have a mastery of cinematography that seems to draw out the beauty in front of your camera, and I always enjoy your witty comments and jokes in the subtitles. I have now watched all of your videos several times, and I adore them all very much. In truth, it's a bit saddening to hear that this may be your last video, though I am happy for you! I just hope you know that there are people who greatly appreciate you and your videos. Thank you for giving us a glimpse into the beauty of Japan, one masterpiece at a time. Best of wishes to you and your wife, and the future ahead of you both! A fan, Brennen.
(I want to express my mind more but my english has limit. sorry..😅) Congratulations. You will marry!!!It is so sad that it will be your last vlog ㅜㅜ but it's ok because every life is precious and should be respected. Of course, i respect your life and your choice. I want to find someone giving all of my time like you... So... Good luck!
Thanks for sharing your last travel vlog. I wish you'll have better life with your new family soon. I'll be missing your all travel scenes since you created yours. Best wishes from Korea.
Congratulations on getting married! However really sad that this will(possibly?) be your last video. Thanks for sharing your travels, I really loved it! I wish you all the best in the next chapter of your life, Ryo!
I will miss you, you are a true artist, I love your vision of things, your ability to grasp the truth, each of your creations is precious, you have given me a lot and I thank you for that. I wish you a happy new year, lots of happiness to you and your family, hoping to see a new video one day 😊
Wow! Very interesting and insightful video. I've heard and seen about this, but it was just superficially mentioned here and there, but I didn't know they hidden across the small islands. And to learn about their lifestyle and the things they had to do keep their faith. It's a little bit sad to know this is probably the last video but it's good to know it's for a happy reason. Congratulations for you and your partner in this new journey. I hope both of you can growth in love and happiness (and if it's in your future plans, add more members to the family). It's been a delight to come across your channel. Thank you Ryo! Blessings on your future plans
Very interesting video. I love how it combines your signature tranquil and contemplative style with a historical topic. Japanese Christians of that period really went through a lot of persecusion for their beliefs, a subject I was first introduced to through Martin Scorsese's film Silence. On another note, many congratulations for getting married! I wish you a happy family life. Not gonna lie, I will severely miss your videos - they are always an inspiration for me and a true comfort. But I'm grateful to have stumbled upon your channel Ryo back when it had a different name altogether. Who knows, maybe one day while I'm sitting in front of my computer thinking about the global economy I'll notice a new Sorekara upload on my UA-cam homepage. ;)
Thats super awesome Ryo! Congrats on the marriage. Getting married that quickly sounds like you two are enjoying your time together and that is very important. I have appreciated all of your videos. Thanks so much for doing them and sharing them with us. If you make more videos or not, thank you and keep kicking butt.
Congratulations on getting married! 🎉 I feel sad that we’re probably not going to have new videos but who knows? Maybe you and your wife can find new joy going out and filming many hidden places in Japan… Wishing you many many years of happiness.
I’ve been watching you for a while now. Although it is sad that this might be the last video but I’m delighted to hear that you are doing well and congratulation on your marriage and hope it last forever. I will never forget the videos you put on the internet and it meant a lot to me. Thank you very much!
Thank you for this, Ryo, and congratulations on your marriage! I know a local priest here in California who is Japanese and is a very traditional Catholic (which is extremely rare in the world, I think!). He actually hosts pilgrimages to Japan for Americans, and Kyushu is, as expected, one of the main destinations of the itinerary. I hope to travel there one day to connect with the history of Catholics in Japan. I appreciate that you made this video to share the story of the first Christians in Japan. God bless you and your family!
Thank you so much for this beautiful picture 💚 God bless you and your new family! Only just found you while searching for videos about the Kakure “Hidden” Christians. This was a wonderful video, and a sweet farewell. Perhaps you’ll return to making these one day, but whatever happens. Love from Colorado USA
Congratulations 🎉 We will miss your videos absolutely. I have kept your videos and watch whenever i feel lonely or stressful. Heartfelt thanks for soothing ideas from your videos. Happy New Journey 🎉
We will miss you Ryo, but we are also happy for your next chapter in life. You have a point of view and storytelling that has me watching you videos over and over, like a good friend I always catch up with. Trying to write as unemotionally as possible, too... ;_;
congrats on getting married 🎉 really happy for you ^^ wish u all the best ^^ your videos gave us enjoyment, its as beautiful and peaceful to watch as always ^^ hope u will have more happier life now ^^ and whenever you decide to come back we will be hear waiting for you ur fellow subscribers ^^ with big love from Georgia ❤
congratulations on getting married and i hope for the best in the future for you and your wife i have loved every video you have made. the quality is super good and the calm tone have always made you stand out to me. i relay liked the video were you explored tokyo by tram and gave some info on places that i now would like to visit, i like the video because it is some thing that i would like to do my self one day, just jump on different trains and see were the stops take me the video about the photos were interesting and it was cool to see the difference so many years have made from the same streets. the video about Tohoku is also a nice video about the disaster that took place there and it is one of the best videos about the disaster that i have seen. this is just 3 of my favorite videos and they are all videos that i love. it will be interesting to see if you post another video in the future if so i'm going to watch it.
Congratulations Ryo!! I stumbled upon your videos and they are just marvellous! Your boring jokes too made me laugh but maybe not anymore But you made the right decision! Enjoy your life and spend good time with your wife and family. Be happy and healthy. Hope we get to see you again on UA-cam. But only if you wish ❤❤ Have a great journey ahead .
Congratulations on your marriage. I wish you and your new partner all the best. Thank you for your videos. I’ve been watching for quite some time and very much enjoy your style. Perhaps in the future you will come back and do more. Many of us look forward to that. In the mean time I will catch up on any I’ve missed. Enjoy!
Congratulations! I pray God's blessing on your marriage and yet to be family. Thanks for the wonderful videos of the past few years. Who knows? You might surprise us with another at some point. Arigatou gozaimasu.
Know this: I’m sad your channel is coming to an end, I’m happy you are moving on, and I wish you the greatest joy a human being is capable of obtaining.
Love your videos sir! Inspires me to do some of my own little life adventure movies one day!! Good luck to you and your marriage and if this is your last video then it’s been more than a pleasure for me to watch such amazing content! (: love from New York City! ❤️
Félicitations pour votre mariage ! Même si vos magnifiques vidéo devaient s’arrêter dorénavant, je suis heureuse que tout ce que vous nous y avez montré de votre beau pays ait existé et y soit encore dans ma mémoire. C’est quelque part un peu grâce à vous que je vais réaliser mon rêve cette année de visiter le Japon !!! Amitiés de France
Okay, since you might be leaving us then I just want to sincerely thank you. I've told you before in the comments of other videos that I think you are the number 1 content creator in the "Japan space". And I actually disagree with your statement, I do believe you are that talented. But I respect your decision, and as much as it hurts to say I think it might be a good decision. Thank you for everything and have a nice married life =)
I don't think this will be your last video. I think in a few years, after your child is born, you'll become one of those baby bloggers. I eagerly await the day.
Yes I was with my parents and siblings when I heard an alert sound from everyone's cell phones and then felt a big quake. We were quite surprised, but the epicenter was far from where I live, so I was not harmed. Thanks for worrying about me and Japan.
Wow i remember this channel called as “sorekara melancholy” i see now he is married im happy for him! Sad part is that cannot see the old videos of him cooking.😂
That is a good news. What a wondeful journey, My Friend. I pray you will have more wonderful live with your Wife and Kids ☦️ You have talent, My Friend. You can enjoy simple things in life, that means you can find the Beauty and Richness in simple things [I know since i have watched many of your videos]. That is truly remarkable because we lived in modern society and yet i found very few people that can do it. You are truly living in the moment, Bro. Like the legend said that, "Right before we die, Our lives will flashing before our eyes" So, here is my message for you: I hope even if you quit UA-cam. Let your camera lenses becomes your own eyes. Let your digital memories becomes your own brain. Let your own camera [which is your own body] record every single happiness with your Family. So, when the time comes, if the Legend is true. That will be the most Amazing Vlog you will ever made to God. And you are the only one who can enjoy that Vlog. Let God see your meaningful live, My Brother. That's all i gotta say, Thank You, Brother. Your videos are like my friend during pandemic.
Thank you for this information I am a Canadian Christian and it is good to know this. Congratulations on your marriage. I have Baptist friends who are missionaries to Japan. Are there other denominations? I am sad you are not going to have any more videos.
If I may. At 3:19 you commented that the Catholics had built a camouflage shrine to worship a priest. I am a Roman Catholic as are the Kakure…we do not worship anyone but God…to do so would be blasphemous
Fellow Catholic here too. Might be a result of translation difficulty. Watched this a few months back and figured it might be a lapse in translation (as with other videos of Ryo.) Grateful he shed light on this though! Little grace for the small stuff goes a long way. :)
I have 2 things to tell you. I am trying to write this as unemotionally as possible.
I got married last month. It hasn't been that long since I met her, so I didn't expect to get married this year, but that's life (in a good way)! No kid yet, but with any luck, next year, or in 2025 maybe?
The 2nd announcement is that this will probably be my last video.
My life is no longer just mine. I will have to spend my time for my family, that would make me happy. I know there are people who have families and still do UA-cam or something, but I am not that talented.
I said "this will probably be my last video" because there is no 100% in life. So probably, but most likely.
There were a few times when I wanted to quit. For the first few months, no one really watched my videos. I wondered what was the point of doing this while shooting and editing. Even after I got many subscribers, it wasn't all good. I received mean comments, and sometimes racist comments about Japanese people. But more than that, your positive feedbacks encouraged me.
Originally, I started this with the casual intention of doing it just only during the pandemic. I never thought I would continue this long.
Thank you all.
I especially want to thank those who supported me on Patreon and those who tipped me here. I still can't believe that people so far away from Japan are paying for something I created. I also want to thank those who subscribed in the very early stage. Like I said, I remember well that for the first few months my videos were not really watched by anyone. I was encouraged so much by comments from those who subscribed such channel.
I also know that there are types of people in this world who never comment but secretly support someone very enthusiastically. Thanks to you as well.
Well, those who are watching my video for the first time right now may be a little confused. I will thank you too if you take a weekend to watch all my videos and subscribe. Just kidding. Thanks for watching (my fans have endured these kinds of boring jokes for years).
Maybe what I want to tell you most is not that I got married or that this is the last. It is that I am truly grateful to you guys.
Thank you so much.
I have a question are you Christian?
That is a good news.
What a wondeful journey, My Friend.
I pray you will have more wonderful live with your Wife and Kids ☦️
You have talent, My Friend.
You can enjoy simple things in life, that means you can find the Beauty and Richness in simple things [I know since i have watched many of your videos].
That is truly remarkable because we lived in modern society and yet i found very few people that can do it.
You are truly living in the moment, Bro.
Like the legend said that,
"Right before we die, Our lives will flashing before our eyes"
So, here is my message for you:
I hope even if you quit UA-cam.
Let your camera lenses becomes your own eyes.
Let your digital memories becomes your own brain.
Let your own camera [which is your own body] record every single happiness with your Family.
So, when the time comes, if the Legend is true.
That will be the most Amazing Vlog you will ever made to God.
And you are the only one who can enjoy that Vlog.
Let God see your meaningful live, My Brother.
That's all i gotta say,
Thank You, Brother.
Your videos are like my friend during pandemic.
Congratulations Ryo! It's sad that this is your last video but I, as a subscriber for the past few years, am happy you have found a wife and will have a family!
I wish you the best of luck on your journey through life!
If anything, you could possibly re-upload some of your older deleted videos, I throughly enjoyed watching them late at night and changing my routine to a similar pattern you did.
🥺🥹
Congratulations on getting married!! 🎉🎉🎉 Will be missing your new videos but will keep coming back to your channel, for the old ones. Take care, God bless❤🙏🏼
Firstly, congratulations on getting married! I’m happy that you found a life partner. You’ve got your priorities straight. Selfishly I’ll miss your vlogs. They are incredibly well done and I enjoy your wry humor (didn’t know Ferrari made subcompacts!). Hope to see you back again on YT someday.
Thanks of all Ryo. I'm from Italy and I've enjoyed every of your touching videos since the "Sorekara Melancholy" times. I've always thought that you are exceptionally talented in storytelling. I've appreciated your attention for the small things, the perfect chilling music, your intimate filming style, your thoughts shared in the subtitles and your funny jokes. Your videos even helped me during some tough days.
Not gonna lie, I'll be missing your videos so much 😭 I wish you all the best with your new life chapter! And I will be here again if you eventually decide to return ❤
Reading your announcement feels like when I had to lose my best friend because of his marriage choice. It's very sad, but on the other hand, I am very happy that you have finally found and embarked on one of the stages toward happiness.
Certainly, I will lose contact with someone I thought I would grow old with. It can be challenging since we choose a life where people come and go all the time. However, I've learned to live with the fact that not everyone is going to stay forever. I am accepting what comes and allowing it to leave when it's time.
Dear Ryo, thank you for creating and sharing all the beautifully crafted cinematography videos. Each one has left a profound impact on my life, especially during the challenges of the pandemic. Your choice of emotionally stirring background sounds has made each memory unforgettable. Stay steadfast in your life choices; I will always support you and eagerly await your return as a subscriber.
Till then, keep healthy and always happy 🤍
Thank you so much!
Congratulations Ryo! I rarely comment on any videos and I'm commenting to let you know that your videos were therapy to me, they still are. I have somekind of locomotive disability since birth. So, I don't really know how walking feels like and never really explored the world. You're style of volgging was unique since they were silent vlogs. I absoutely loved them, as it felt like I was in that place. I discovered your channel maybe around the fall of 2021 and binged them all (the old vlogs too which are unforuntely unavailable now). I still watch your videos. I watched this very video after a week you published it and then I read the pinned comment. I'm happy for you and I'm sad too. This is the second time I'm watching this and I thought I should comment. Stay healthy.
Congratulations Ryo! I have not commented before, but thought I should since this is your last video. I just wanted to say thank you for making these videos. I have watched them for years, since you had a couple hundred subscribers, and they have become like an old friend to me, giving me peace and companionship when I needed it most. All the best, wishing you a happy and healthy family life.
Congratulations on your marriage!! I know this kinda late because i just remembered you haven't uploaded any videos lately, and i just happened to look at the comment section this time. But anyways surely i will miss ur videos, but the good thing is one of my favourite go-to youtuber is getting married. I've read some of the comments and most of them did a very nice job at congratulating, but i think i cant do the same like them because im just suck at it. But what im hoping is hopefully you guys have a wonderful life ahead. Married lifes not going to go smoothly but hold on to ur partner and said to her "We'll get through this no matter what." or something like that yknow what i mean. again, anyway, hopefully you guys can enjoy this life together and forever and have a wonderful, wonderful! Time together. also thank you fo the videos you had made. They really accompanied me when im eating foods and stuff theyre really nice and calming to watch! Again congratulations Ryo-san! (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)
Congratulations on the wedding!... I've been here since the pandemic, and i have to say... Your videos have always helped me... I really hope this isn't the last, but if it is, thank you so much for creating such beautiful content. Best of wishes to you and your family :)
I am happy for your new life, I wish you and your wife a beautiful life together! you really deserve it.
I found out about your channel during the pandemic and I recommended it to all my friends and coworkers. I love your country and I love your videos. It's a little sad to know that this may be the last time I see something on your channel. I just have to thank you. for your time and for the unique beauty of your videos, it really moved me when I saw them and made me very happy.
Thank you very much for everything, warm greetings from Argentina.❤
Congrats on getting married man, your videos have brought so much enjoyment and relaxation to me over the past years, so I really hope the next chapter in life is full of happiness and joy, for both you and your partner. I Really look forward to seeing more of these travel vlogs if you ever decide to return, thank you so much for creating these wonderful videos. 💜
Please don't delete you channel we love your videos. They help me so much to relax and travel, when my life was ao noisy. Thank you for everything you are truly talented and congratulations 🎉
It's sad that this will be your last video. But congratulations on your wedding!!! Success for your new life. I just wanted to say thank you for all your warm videos. Your videos healed me. I hope you don't delete your videos so I can keep watching them. I apologize if my English is not good.
Thank you ^^
I love being on the move with you; traveling, seeing new things, experiencing moments. Thanks so much! 🙏🙏🙏
Hi Ryo, congrats on getting married!
I have really enjoyed watching your videos this past year and I am really glad you put the hard work into making them.
I wish you and your family the best going forward.
Thank you for making this video. It's so informative (as always) and truly captured the beauty of Nagasaki.
Congratulations on getting married. All the best to you and your wife and hopefully build the best family. Sayonara. Arigato Gozaimasu. 💯👋
Many congratulations Ryo on getting married!! I have always loved your films right from the earliest ones; so calm & peaceful. This film was brilliant, really interesting.
Your films will be missed, but you must enjoy your new life. Very best wishes to you.
Don't feel any pressure, just film whenever you feel like it, melancholy and calmness is found everywhere if you look, so maybe we'll see you again someday. And of course congratulations to the wedding.
Thank you Sorekara Melancholy, I enjoyed your videos for a long time. It seems the name change was good, because you put melancholy behind you. I am sad to see you go, your travel videos are special. Good luck with everything! We will watch if you do come back!
I checked out your channel after 4-5 months only to find out that this could be your last video. I really loved your vlogs, I've watched all of them multiple times. Watching your vlogs made me feel like I'm traveling together with you. I really wish that in the near future you'd continue to make such videos.
Last but not the least, congratulations on getting married. Wish you two a lovely and healthy life.
Congratulations Ryo. Best wishes to you and your wife. I have really enjoyed all your videos especially this last one. I learnt another lesson about Japan’s history that I didn’t know before. I will miss your videos but life goes on and your new life is just beginning. All the very best to you both. Love and peace from Australia ❤
Thanks for the journey through all the years!
Thank you so much!!!
Oh my... what wonderful news of your marriage! I'm so very happy for you, dear Ryo. ❤️ I hope it's possible for you to let us know when you are expecting & when your babies arrive! Maybe a "short" once in awhile?
Love & blessings to you & your loved ones!! ❤❤🎉
I don't know about the future yet. hahaha Anyway thanks for the blessing! And Happy New Year! Hope it's going to be a great year for you!
@sorekaratravel4533
Thanks for your kind words! Yes, we don't know anything about the future. You mentioned 'no kid, yet', so I assumed you're looking forward to at least one of em! 😊 If it's what you & your wife want, I hope you have them. Whatever happens, I wish you every happiness & success!! ❤️🧡
Sad to hear you are not going to produce more videos but who knows. When you share your past work with your wife and family (hopefully) they will get to know you so much better and one day you might make another video. You are a talented story teller and video as your medium has given me and 100,000+ others so much pleasure.
Having a person to share your life, joy and sorrow is beautiful. Thank you for everything from COVID-19 to now, sorekara
This was one of my 3 favourite blogs, I'll miss it a lot!
Thank you for your effort and may you have a very blessed future
There are not more channels like this 😢
I'm happy for you, Ryo, thank you for this "last" video, my friend, thanks for all these wonderfoul video you have done during these years. Thanks for existing and God bless you and your wife.
As always, an interesting topic, presented in an aesthetically pleasing manner.
Sad you're calling it a day, but what a note to end on! Thank you
Congrats on your marriage, if this is the last video then it was a beautiful and moving one. Thanks for all your hard work, may life treat you and your family kindly!
what a way to make an announcement❤.... i liked all your videos ( actually haven't watch some yet starting from the taiwan vlog😅 also busy here but for some reason, i felt i need to watch this while having lunch... now i know)... thanks for sharing your life status and best wishes to you and your wife.... sure, do what seems fit to you but keep this channel and cime back whenever you want to.... many people will still be reached by your videosn they're awesome, well put together....i think this is my first time to comment😁.... i am silent viewer and glad you are aware of the diff kinds of viewers❤.... God bless you!!!! we'll be waiting for you🙏....
Congratulations on your marriage ! I am sad to hear that this is probably your last video. I send a heart-felt thank you for all that you have given us. I truly have loved each of your videos. It is clear that you put in so much time, effort, and care to each and every one. For this I am truly appreciative. Wishing you a lifetime of happiness and success !!!
First of all, congratulations on your wedding and I hope you have a happy marriage and life!
It is pretty sad that I probably won't be seeing any new videos from you here. You are one of my favorite creators in UA-cam; I've not yet found anyone who made these types of videos the way you do - such a great combination of topic, silent storytelling/narration, shot composition, and choice of music. My favorites are probably your old videos showing your daily lives, and seeing how you turn something usually so mundane into something so beautiful, at least to me, is something wonderful. The old channel name of Sorekara Melancholy is truly a fitting name for those, I think. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for creating these little masterpieces in this corner of UA-cam.
In the end life goes on, and as you found your own way, I can only hope that we could meet again in some type or form in the future. Much love and appreciation for all that you do, and I wish you all the best!
Happy for you. Thank your for the video, i liked the moment from 6:26 when you waved at me.
It has been a nice journey with you.❤
Thank you for sharing less known Japan. I hope I will be able to visit such a lovely nation one day. Take care and all the best for your new journey in life.
Thank you for sharing the important history of the hidden Christians in Japan and the trials that they had to go through - it is something that should not be forgotten indeed.
It is sad that this is probably your last video - many of us will miss your peaceful and picturesque videos, but congratulations on getting married and wishing you and your wife the very best for the road ahead! :)
🥰This is wonderful news. Congratulations on your wedding!! I have enjoyed all your great adventures and your photos. Thank you for sharing those great moments. One of my favorite quotes, “That last page turned is a perfect excuse to write a whole new book.”
~ Toni Sorenson ~
🙌 So happy for you.
Congratulations on getting married! Thank you as always for your beautiful videos. They are meaningful in many ways and I personally have enjoyed every one of them. Here's wishing you and your wife a wonderful journey together!
Thanks for giving highlight to hidden Christians. The last time I was in Japan, I lingered for quite some time at St. Mary’s Cathedral. I hope someday to do the same in the places you have shown. Sending my best wishes for this new chapter in your life. May you and your family enjoy a long and healthy life. Now, I can't wait to binge-watch all your videos!
Congratulations and thank you. There is no one quite like you.
I hope you come back someday~
I really like your videos~
Thank you so much~
And congratulations on your marriage~
Finding your second half is a great thing! Congratulations! I wish you the very best. Oh, and, of course, thanks for the videos! Watched them all with great interest.
Congratulations on your marriage and I wish you well in your next stage of life. I’ve enjoyed your videos and would like to thank you for sharing your travels with us all. Your country is very beautiful and it’s been a pleasure seeing it through your lens. ❤
Ryu,
As long as I can remember, I have been fascinated with Japan. What started as a young American boy who simply loved the idea of ninjas has grown into a young adult with an immense appreciation for the beauty of Japan, of it's people's culture, of the art and architecture, and of it's history. Over many years, I have consumed countless media that is either Japanese in origin or depicting it. I found your channel when looking for something authentic, and I'm glad I came across one of your videos. You have a mastery of cinematography that seems to draw out the beauty in front of your camera, and I always enjoy your witty comments and jokes in the subtitles. I have now watched all of your videos several times, and I adore them all very much. In truth, it's a bit saddening to hear that this may be your last video, though I am happy for you! I just hope you know that there are people who greatly appreciate you and your videos.
Thank you for giving us a glimpse into the beauty of Japan, one masterpiece at a time. Best of wishes to you and your wife, and the future ahead of you both!
A fan,
Brennen.
(I want to express my mind more but my english has limit. sorry..😅)
Congratulations. You will marry!!!It is so sad that it will be your last vlog ㅜㅜ but it's ok because every life is precious and should be respected. Of course, i respect your life and your choice. I want to find someone giving all of my time like you... So... Good luck!
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing your last travel vlog. I wish you'll have better life with your new family soon. I'll be missing your all travel scenes since you created yours. Best wishes from Korea.
Congratulations ❤
I wish you a happy and blessed life💕
Congratulations on getting married! However really sad that this will(possibly?) be your last video. Thanks for sharing your travels, I really loved it! I wish you all the best in the next chapter of your life, Ryo!
Thank you for this beautiful video.
Thank you for all these years! Take care. ❤
I will miss you, you are a true artist, I love your vision of things, your ability to grasp the truth, each of your creations is precious, you have given me a lot and I thank you for that. I wish you a happy new year, lots of happiness to you and your family, hoping to see a new video one day 😊
Wow! Very interesting and insightful video. I've heard and seen about this, but it was just superficially mentioned here and there, but I didn't know they hidden across the small islands. And to learn about their lifestyle and the things they had to do keep their faith.
It's a little bit sad to know this is probably the last video but it's good to know it's for a happy reason. Congratulations for you and your partner in this new journey. I hope both of you can growth in love and happiness (and if it's in your future plans, add more members to the family). It's been a delight to come across your channel. Thank you Ryo! Blessings on your future plans
Very interesting video. I love how it combines your signature tranquil and contemplative style with a historical topic. Japanese Christians of that period really went through a lot of persecusion for their beliefs, a subject I was first introduced to through Martin Scorsese's film Silence.
On another note, many congratulations for getting married! I wish you a happy family life. Not gonna lie, I will severely miss your videos - they are always an inspiration for me and a true comfort. But I'm grateful to have stumbled upon your channel Ryo back when it had a different name altogether. Who knows, maybe one day while I'm sitting in front of my computer thinking about the global economy I'll notice a new Sorekara upload on my UA-cam homepage. ;)
Thats super awesome Ryo! Congrats on the marriage. Getting married that quickly sounds like you two are enjoying your time together and that is very important.
I have appreciated all of your videos. Thanks so much for doing them and sharing them with us. If you make more videos or not, thank you and keep kicking butt.
Thank you sir!!
Congratulations on getting married! 🎉 I feel sad that we’re probably not going to have new videos but who knows? Maybe you and your wife can find new joy going out and filming many hidden places in Japan… Wishing you many many years of happiness.
I’ve been watching you for a while now. Although it is sad that this might be the last video but I’m delighted to hear that you are doing well and congratulation on your marriage and hope it last forever. I will never forget the videos you put on the internet and it meant a lot to me. Thank you very much!
What a pensive and thoughtful video. Thank you for sharing!
Congratulations. I've thoroughly enjoyed your videos over the years. Thank you!
Thank you for this, Ryo, and congratulations on your marriage! I know a local priest here in California who is Japanese and is a very traditional Catholic (which is extremely rare in the world, I think!). He actually hosts pilgrimages to Japan for Americans, and Kyushu is, as expected, one of the main destinations of the itinerary. I hope to travel there one day to connect with the history of Catholics in Japan. I appreciate that you made this video to share the story of the first Christians in Japan. God bless you and your family!
Thank you so much for this beautiful picture 💚 God bless you and your new family! Only just found you while searching for videos about the Kakure “Hidden” Christians. This was a wonderful video, and a sweet farewell. Perhaps you’ll return to making these one day, but whatever happens. Love from Colorado USA
Congratulations 🎉 We will miss your videos absolutely. I have kept your videos and watch whenever i feel lonely or stressful. Heartfelt thanks for soothing ideas from your videos. Happy New Journey 🎉
Tout est magnifique dans tes vidéos. Le cadre, le rythme, les musiques et la narration. Merci du partage 😁
We will miss you Ryo, but we are also happy for your next chapter in life. You have a point of view and storytelling that has me watching you videos over and over, like a good friend I always catch up with. Trying to write as unemotionally as possible, too... ;_;
congrats and thank you for sharing your videos. Helsinki, Finland wish you all the best ❤
Hey Greetings! Congrats on getting married. Been a while since you uploaded. Hope you will have a successful future. Merry Christmas!

congratulations on getting married and i hope for the best in the future for you and your wife
i have loved every video you have made. the quality is super good and the calm tone have always made you stand out to me.
i relay liked the video were you explored tokyo by tram and gave some info on places that i now would like to visit, i like the video because it is some thing that i would like to do my self one day, just jump on different trains and see were the stops take me
the video about the photos were interesting and it was cool to see the difference so many years have made from the same streets.
the video about Tohoku is also a nice video about the disaster that took place there and it is one of the best videos about the disaster that i have seen.
this is just 3 of my favorite videos and they are all videos that i love.
it will be interesting to see if you post another video in the future if so i'm going to watch it.
A beautifully told story :) lots and lots of happiness in the rest of your life!
Your travel vlog is really peaceful and healing. Japan is a beautiful country and love to see more contents from you🎉😎
Congratulations Ryo!! I stumbled upon your videos and they are just marvellous! Your boring jokes too made me laugh but maybe not anymore
But you made the right decision! Enjoy your life and spend good time with your wife and family. Be happy and healthy.
Hope we get to see you again on UA-cam. But only if you wish ❤❤
Have a great journey ahead .
Que ciudad más bella 😊
Congratulations on your marriage. I wish you and your new partner all the best. Thank you for your videos. I’ve been watching for quite some time and very much enjoy your style. Perhaps in the future you will come back and do more. Many of us look forward to that. In the mean time I will catch up on any I’ve missed. Enjoy!
Congratulations! I pray God's blessing on your marriage and yet to be family. Thanks for the wonderful videos of the past few years. Who knows? You might surprise us with another at some point. Arigatou gozaimasu.
Know this:
I’m sad your channel is coming to an end, I’m happy you are moving on, and I wish you the greatest joy a human being is capable of obtaining.
First time in your channel and a new follower. Beautiful video. I plan to go to Nagasaki in the future, hopefully soon.
Congratulations on getting married, I'll miss your videos, wish you nothing but the best! 💪🏼
Love your videos sir! Inspires me to do some of my own little life adventure movies one day!! Good luck to you and your marriage and if this is your last video then it’s been more than a pleasure for me to watch such amazing content! (: love from New York City! ❤️
The music was incredibly relaxing
Félicitations pour votre mariage !
Même si vos magnifiques vidéo devaient s’arrêter dorénavant, je suis heureuse que tout ce que vous nous y avez montré de votre beau pays ait existé et y soit encore dans ma mémoire.
C’est quelque part un peu grâce à vous que je vais réaliser mon rêve cette année de visiter le Japon !!!
Amitiés de France
Okay, since you might be leaving us then I just want to sincerely thank you.
I've told you before in the comments of other videos that I think you are the number 1 content creator in the "Japan space".
And I actually disagree with your statement, I do believe you are that talented.
But I respect your decision, and as much as it hurts to say I think it might be a good decision.
Thank you for everything and have a nice married life =)
大学のクラスこのトピックがありました。楽しかあったビデオありがとうございました
You saved the best for last. This is a sign also for me.
I don't think this will be your last video. I think in a few years, after your child is born, you'll become one of those baby bloggers. I eagerly await the day.
Ryo, how are you & your family? There was an earthquake & tsunami warning not long ago! 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Yes I was with my parents and siblings when I heard an alert sound from everyone's cell phones and then felt a big quake. We were quite surprised, but the epicenter was far from where I live, so I was not harmed. Thanks for worrying about me and Japan.

🤗🥰❤️🧡🙏🖖
Great video
ENJOY YOUR LIFE!
Congratulations on getting married.will miss your beautiful videos.
I hope you have a blessed and fruitful mariage. Wishing you and your wife all the happiness in the world!
A great movie on this topic is "Silence" from 2016. I think it's a good movie, if you like Japanese history.
Wow i remember this channel called as “sorekara melancholy” i see now he is married im happy for him! Sad part is that cannot see the old videos of him cooking.😂
Oh man, what happened to all the coffee vids on his channel? =(
Congo Ryo!
Thanks!
Thank you so much!!!!!!!!
@@sorekaratravel4533
Thank you for all your hard work, humor, creativity & beauty!!
I will miss you. 🤗❤️🧡
Nice film!
เป็นคลิปนำ ชมสถานที่ที่ดีมาก ดูไปอ่านไปแล้วรู้สึกซึ้ง ละสงสารคนคริสต์สมัยนั้น แต่เอาเข้าจริงๆถ้าเขายังมั่นคงอยู่จนถึงปัจจุบันนี้ก็โคตรน่าภูมิใจ และพระเจ้าอวยพรเขาจริงๆ
That is a good news.
What a wondeful journey, My Friend.
I pray you will have more wonderful live with your Wife and Kids ☦️
You have talent, My Friend.
You can enjoy simple things in life, that means you can find the Beauty and Richness in simple things [I know since i have watched many of your videos].
That is truly remarkable because we lived in modern society and yet i found very few people that can do it.
You are truly living in the moment, Bro.
Like the legend said that,
"Right before we die, Our lives will flashing before our eyes"
So, here is my message for you:
I hope even if you quit UA-cam.
Let your camera lenses becomes your own eyes.
Let your digital memories becomes your own brain.
Let your own camera [which is your own body] record every single happiness with your Family.
So, when the time comes, if the Legend is true.
That will be the most Amazing Vlog you will ever made to God.
And you are the only one who can enjoy that Vlog.
Let God see your meaningful live, My Brother.
That's all i gotta say,
Thank You, Brother.
Your videos are like my friend during pandemic.
Thank you for this information I am a Canadian Christian and it is good to know this. Congratulations on your marriage. I have Baptist friends who are missionaries to Japan. Are there other denominations? I am sad you are not going to have any more videos.
Thanks for watching! According to my quick research, there are Lutherans, Calvinists, etc.
I see, how interesting, tho the term catholic and christianity is actually quite different my friend!
love japan❤
If I may. At 3:19 you commented that the Catholics had built a camouflage shrine to worship a priest. I am a Roman Catholic as are the Kakure…we do not worship anyone but God…to do so would be blasphemous
Fellow Catholic here too. Might be a result of translation difficulty. Watched this a few months back and figured it might be a lapse in translation (as with other videos of Ryo.) Grateful he shed light on this though! Little grace for the small stuff goes a long way. :)
Why did you delete the book video
❤️❤️
