What a pesky peppercorn. I know that you said that you don't want your videos to be repetitive but I think even if you're sitting in your apartment they all feel different. Your videos have a cosy, warm feeling and that's why I like them and keep coming back. So, from a fellow perfectionist - don't overthink it. You're doing wonderfully... even if the lake has been drained :D
also in reply to your q - I don't mind that the quality for your Mt Takao video. I think what you're filming is more important than the camera you're using :)
Thank you, Xanthe 😊💛
what i didn't know lakes get drained!! also i love when you make videos in your apartment because it looks so nice and pretty
Neither did I! I was so surprised and confused hahah and thank you, Monika 💛
Hi, we call them toasties in the UK too don’t worry 😊
Yay! I'm glad we're not the only ones 😊
Woooo toastie Club
The poster falling off the wall was epic. What timing! Keep doing what you're doing and don't obsess. :)
I know, I found it quite funny hahahah. Thank you! I'll do my best 😊
My favorite part of all of your videos is the warm and cozy feel that they have. Try not to be so hard on yourself
I love your vlogs. They are so positive and soothing.
I'll never call it a grilled-cheese again xD
Anyway, I like what Steve Jobs said about perfectionism (as he was very much a perfectionist.) Before he allowed his orignal Macintosh to be shipped, he had the whole inside of the circuit-board made beautiful because he couldn't stand a component of his system to be ugly. Eventually, though, he realized he couldn't always do that; he realized "Real artist ship."
Yay! I'm glad to hear I've converted you hahaha 😊
Yeah, I've heard a lot of stories about Steve Jobs's perfectionism. But, no, it's not efficient at all. You can't really be a complete perfectionist if you want to get stuff done ~
I seriously love you and everything you do!
This looks powerful! Can't be patient to see a lot more like this. Great job.
It's okay about the quality,as long as it's filmed by you,we knew it's gonna be great always (I hope I'm not putting a lot of pressure lol) .I've always enjoyed your videos so much.Also I was in japan as an exchange student for a year long back in 2016,small things like your bread package and everything made me so nostalgic 💕✨
On the "toasties vs grilled cheese" thing - I moved to Queensland at about 6yo, after living in Adelaide all my life up to that point. Had a minor breakdown when I was told to bring my "togs" to school for swimming and I DIDN'T HAVE TOGS, I only had bathers....
I love everything you post, Christy xx
I found you via & LENA's channel rec and I love how chill this is! And "toasties" is totally a cute word! LOL that peppercorn, I probably wouldn't have noticed except that you pointed it out. This discussion about perfectionism is so relatable -- recently I read a blog post about the habits of successful people and the one I took away was being consistent over being perfect. I bet you have other videos with explanation about how long you've been Japan and why you're there etc etc but I can't help but want to ask here anyways hahah.
You made my day, it's beautiful how a single video change your mood for the whole day😍☺️
Aaah you're way too lovely and kind! 💛💛
I'm from the UK and we also call it washing powder :D
It is ok we love chaty videos too. 💜
Yeey, toasties!! I remember eating toasties in Japan at Doutor Coffee near Seikaido. Toasties and art supply shopping is such a great combo!
I love Doutor! I ate there quite a bit during my first holiday to Japan so it's very nostalgic. You're right. Toasties and art supply shopping sounds lovely 😊
I like the phone video perfectly fine, it’s made me really optimistic about trying to do a vlog without my own dslr! Sorry the park was a bust, I had no idea lakes were drained, either!
I made 'toasties' for the first time today! I'm actually really proud of that, haha. Also, this is such a chill video :) Jimbocho sounds amazing! Too bad that they didn't let you film :( but you got this video out of it! So it's not all lost :) subscribed!
love it.....and ur voice as well...........
thank you sharing! this video is really cool:) Please do not overthink your creativity. The authenticity is much more important than the perfection at least for me and i am sure i am not the only one who is thinking like this. By the way, II never would have noticed the peppercorn if you hadn't said it.
If your going to use your iPhone you should record videos using the app named FiLMiC Pro. The app allows you to record at a higher bit rate and frame rate. You should also get a good mic that can be attached to the iPhone charging port and a selfie camera stick which won't block the rear camera and microphone also you will need a powerbank for the phone like 10,000 mAh.
Your videos are so cute. They remind me of the style of studio ghibli and they also kind of look like vintage
I adore Studio Ghibli, so it's so lovely to hear you say that. Thank you 😭 💛
Thanks for being honest with us but seriously did not notice the peppercorn until you pointed it out. Totally get you though, we are ourselves hardest critic.
I am fine with minor flaws here and there, it makes us human.
Also, phone video quality is fine.
😊
I probably just am too harsh hahaha. After I spotted it, the piece of pepper was all I could see. You're right: we are our harshest critics.
And thank you for letting me know 😊
when you cut it in half i literally gasped hahah in greece we cut in triangles and call it toast so pretty close!
Such a lovely video! I didn't even see the peppercorn in the first place, so don't worry about it :* It just makes you human, doesn't it? However, I totally agree on the "perfectionism" talk, because I'm completely the SAME. My perfectionism often stops me from creating- you can't imagine how often I wanted to start a blog or write a book and threw everything away after a week or so... O_o
I'm looking forward to all of your videos, I don't think they're repetitive or something- I also enjoy listening to your experiences in your more "chatty" videos.
Oh and I also wanted to ask you how you learned to take such pretty photos and videos? Do you have any tips for resources or something? Thx
I knooow, me too. I have the worst problem with starting things and dropping them because I can't do things the way I want.
Ah, thank you! 😊 Honestly, it helps to have a nice camera lens. A 50mm makes everything look prettier. I'm not in anyway an expert so there's no real tips I can give but I've been taking/editing photos and videos for a long, long time so I think that helps
Get the g7x mark ii! It's pretty cheap second hand on amazon! Or otherwise film on your phone :)
Uggh I've been wanting to get the g7x for ages but moneeeey. I hadn't thought of getting it second hand, though! That's such a great idea--I'll look into it. Thank you!!
Vlogging with phone should be ok. I'll probably do the same if I ever start vlogs.
Just get a selfie stick or other smaller handle/stand for it for extra stabilization and reach. And also there is microphones made especially for phones, where you just plug them to your headphone spot and point it to same direction as your camera. I was just looking at one and thinking about getting one myself, so I don't really have experience on using it but it was pretty cheap and seems handy. The one I was looking at is called "Rode VideoMic Me" , if you are interested and wanna google it.
Didn't even notice it until you pointed it out 😂 Which is so true in life in general, we spend so much time worrying about details no one else even notices 😂😂
Anyhow completely agree on the need for perfection, I don't do anything until it'is perfect (and perfection is always unattainable so basically I self sabotage and do nothing 😂), but in my personal experience I did notice that it's a trait my female friends share, but not the guys!
Love your content :) I'm so glad I found your channel 😄😄
Hahaha it's always the way, isn't it? I probably just need to worry less about little details. But, yeah, perfection is completely unobtainable--yet we spend so much time trying to get there! And thank you so much! I'm glad you found it too 😊💛
I actually didn’t notice the peppercorn until you mentioned it
I love what you say about perfectionism and being productive, it really can stop you. And if you vlog, I think you don't really need to go to great special places, you can film some things on your neighborhood, local stores... I think most of us don`t know nothing or just a little about living in Japan, so any place will work as long as you are there :) And I would really like to know how is the normal life there.
Thank you! And that's a good point--I really do want to show more of what normal life is like here so I might do that 😊
1.) Your voice is so soothing, I could literally watch an hour long video of you just talking.
2.) I usually watch UA-cam in 240p because bad internet, so lower quality videos doesn't impact me at all.
3.) When I was growing up, my mum made toasties all the time expect she would put pineapple in them haha.
Aaah you're too kind 😊💛
And pineapple?? That's so interesting. I've never thought of putting pineapple in toasties. I always used to put tomato in them, though, which is not too different haha
I actually didn’t notice the peppercorn till you mentioned it 😹
Omg the plans going wrong things sounds so annoying haha. Reminds me of when my boyfriend and I went to Kyoto for the first time last year, and both Kiyomizudera and Chionin Temples we’re both covered in scaffolding and hoarding 🙈
What’s the name of the second place you went to? (The one with the drained lake lol) I’m gonna put it on my list of places to visit next time I’m in japan
Sorry for all the comments lol
No, no, no--Please don't apologise. The second place was called Kichijoji and the park was Inokashira Park 😊 It's right next to the Ghibli Museum, if that helps. And nooo that's so annoying! Kiyomizudera is such a beautiful temple, too. What's a shame. It had some scaffolding when we went two years ago but it wasn't too bad then ~
It's hard to film outside of your house in Japan... Most places do not want you to come in with a camera :( I have this problem all the time...
It's really, really hard! I totally get it, though, stores/companies are allowed to not want people filming. But it makes vlog-making difficult hahah
Ciao Christy! Speaking in general it's a bit annoying the wrong focus and the bad audio quality. I loved your video about Mt Takao!
Thank you! I'm glad the quality is okay. And, yes, cute places are definitely on the list of places to vlog 😊
Hi Christy. Love your clip so much. Really enjoy watching it. P.S.You lose weight, don't you? I can tell it from your vlog.
Hi Christy! Love your cosy videos for little snippets of Japan :) Watching you make toasties (definitely a UK thing too) made me want to recommend the toasties my husband and I are making a lot at the moment which we call "egg in a window toasties" - although apparently according to this recipe that's not what they're called at all O_o hehe: www.foodnetwork.co.uk/recipes/egg-in-a-hole-cheese-toastie.html Anyway, they're super yummy and eggs are cheaper than cheese in Japan so maybe an alternative if you ever fancied it. Good luck with the rest of your vlogging adventures! Would love to see you at a pop up cafe (The Very Hungry Caterpillar one has just opened in Ginza!) or just having a wander around a cute neighbourhood like Jiyugaoka xD
Omg, that recipe looks so yummy. And it's really cute, too! Thank you so much. I'm definitely going to have to try it 😊 And I had heard about the Very Hungry Caterpillar cafe--I need to go because it looks absolutely adorable~
I don't care about the quality change
Good to hear. Thank you 😊
hi may I know ur instagram
