You are good to listen to. I think a lot of us wish we were professional musicians or artists but you can start at any time. I started 2 years ago. I will not give up.
I can understand how you feel about not achieving certain goals in life I originally wanted to be a nurse after highschool but became a personal support worker after struggling at college, a few years later I switched jobs to heavy equipment truck driver which I like doing a lot more. Ever since Covid I made it a goal to experience more that life has to offer by trying new things like learning how to do woodworking, hunting, sailing, spearfishing, Learning Japanese, renovating a house... etcetera. It costs a lot of money to learn to fly in Canada but I at least got to go one time up in an airplane and fly it, it was a lot of fun. I know some people might say I am "half assed/はふあせd" but I am fine with that because at 30 years old I have found joy in trying new things and enjoying the little things in life like watching the sunset over a beautiful location which could make me a professional at enjoying what life has to offer I am also sure you will be able to achieve something similar.
@@jaycee_88 you got a point that over achieving is in asian culture but it is in other cultures as well, all ethnic and cultural groups have similarities and differences that is what makes us all human, a group should never be defined by a single person, in my case my last names is "Best" so when I was younger it put a lot of pressure on me mentally and even a bit to this day I was always overthinking and trying to over achieve and be a people pleaser its kind of built into human dna to cooperate in a social group for survival but something in my past I don't know what it was if it was one thing or several but I started to change my view of what is really more important and so for me now I do try to do things to the best of my ability but what truely matters more to me is having a sense that my life has been filled with happiness and other positive emotions and memories and that I spend as much time with family and friends as possible because one day I or they will be gone and yes negative thoughts and emotions still occur but I am the master of my life I choose whether I love it or hate it and accept the negative and move on a skill learned from buddhism. The best way to explain it there was once a man or woman who chased money, power and fame and over the years they got what they desired but in return they lost friends, family and lovers one by one until they were on their death bed with no one there to comfort them then it set in the thoughts of what could have been like I wish I had children a legacy for the next generation or I wish I was their in the last moments my dad was alive ... Etc then they realize one by one they would give up money, power and fame just to get an opportunity to relive their life and change everything they would no longer chase money, power or fame instead they would help the less fortunate, they would spend as much time with family and friends enjoying the little moments in life, they would become a parent and get to witness a miracle of life.
Don't worry about achieving your goals right away. Everyone has their turn in life. Best to find something you absolutely love to do and work at it and enjoy it. The more you enjoy what you are doing the more effort you will put into it. Hope this information helps you out.
the cool thing about art and music is while it can be seen as a competition in terms of acrobatics or definition. theres really a uniqueness about it . a skill that one has developed in academia is entirely different to one developed based on intuition and personal experience. while both are capable of great heights , its easy for society to forget that many of the masters in art have developed thier skill not through academia but through a personal vision, ingenuity , and passion :) coming from a half assed gentleman !
I was an Artist a Sculptor back in my 20s for about 13 years. I was Self Taught, I learned how to Sculpt by myself No Teachers and No Collages. I was a Sculptor who aim for Accurate Sculpting as much as Possible. Unfortunately, Now I'm just a person who takes care of my parents but my Sculpting I want to pass that to the Young Generation. I want you to know Dream, Desire, Wants are all part of what makes someone's work as an Artist or a Musicians Work so Amazing! Beethoven's music and my Sculpting may not look that Amazing to us but to you and the fans it's Truly Amazing and that's Only because of the hard work and Desire to Create something Not Amazing, Not Beautiful but MAGICAL! If you Love something that is a Talent don't wait for a Next Life, don't Wait and don't Wish just Do It, Practice, have Patient and keep working hard on that Career that you Love like Art or a Musician or something and soon you'll be Amazing at that. But don't say you Wish or Wait for another life time because what if your next life you become something you don't want. Don't think that way just do it, put in the effort, put in the work and soon you'll be someone you can't even imagine you'd ever thought you'll Ever be! You'll have an Extra Ordinary record just like Beethoven and All those Musicians and Artists. Peace Shika
I was going to say exactly the same. I watched my son grow up and struggle with the same wanting to be good at many things, and finally settle on viola. He wasn't born with only the desire to do that, and wasn't born with the ability. He experimented and struggled to find something he loved, and then he worked hard every day for many years. Now he's playing professionally in a symphony and doing performances elsewhere because his name has gotten around. There's no magic -- it's all desire and hard work.
There's something really human and nice about these videos. I really relate to your feelings in this video. I also really admire musicians and those who reach excellent in their fields. It's very refreshing to hear your thoughts. Here's to better days! 🥂 頑張れ!!
I was too depressed coming out of high school so I had no dreams for a while. Now, I'm learning Bass Guitar and Japanese on the side and I'm letting it pull me on the path I'm meant to take.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I can understand your feelings. Dreaming of reaching top levels is always good. I have heard of reïncarnation and sometimes I like dreaming also of doing things I can't do in this live. I should like playing drums and percussions as Sandy Nelson, Phil Collins, Chester Thompsom, Carl Palmer, Max Weinberg, Terry Williams, Hannes van Dahl, the Dutch drummers Cesar Zuiderwijk and Roel van Helden or the Japanese drummer MiMi of Tokyo Groove Jyoshi to mention some examples. But sadly I can't play drums and percussion. I think you have a great knowledge of classical music. There is so much great music. In the Netherlands we have one great artist André Rieu with his orchestra. He plays all over the world and even played in Japan. Greetings from the Netherlands.
About the artist thing you talked about, I really think you should consider pursuing that. It is absolutely not too late, as someone who is training themselves to be an artist, I think it's more realistic than you think, just 4 hours practice every and some studying with videos and such will mean 1460 hours of practice by the end of the year. It might feel embarrassing and like you are not improving as much as you want but you would have to just trust the process, you are younger than you think. It's obviously your life and your choice but if you want it I don't think it's a waste to chase it, you would be far from the first to try your hand at art as an adult and succeed. You already showed an ability to improve at and stick with something with your English journey, and it might be a good mountain to climb for a mountain person such as yourself :)
You're still so young so you have plenty of time to achieve in some field that you love. Just pick something you love and spend your time there, make it a focus. But you shouldn't be jealous of other people. Even high achievers may have difficult challenges in their lives. Love yourself, love your loved ones, love other people by helping when you can, and do what you enjoy.
Hello Shika ! Aww the Halloween donuts look very cute 🎃🍩 this year is going by so fast ,I’m happy for autumns arrival as I look forward to the colorful foliage 🍁. I’m so happy you had an amazing time at the concert 🙏 Seeing professional’s at whatever their craft or expertise is always has me feeling inspired to do my best . I hope you sleep well this evening and have a great start to your week ahead ✨✨
In my view you should not be thinking of dying now but living fully now. Don’t question your choices so far. Just be able to make any necessary changes to be what you desire now. The music inspired you and that is great. Just enjoy, now! There is plenty of time to figure it all out. Make sure you have fun!
We need a shika, yuka-chan joint broadcast.they have completely different personalities.maybe they could react to something together or go to a restaurant yuka loves to eat 🙂 shika's English is better.maybe they could bring the best out in each other.
I know how you feel. I used to halfbaked everything I do whether it was learning to play the piano, or learning a second language. I found drawing to be my passion. I'm working free lanced as a comic/manga artist. So, don't be so hard on yourself. Find something you really enjoy. The most successful people are successful because they love their craft. They really enjoyed doing their job.I think I remember you saying in a video that you want to learn to play the piano. I think you should gove it another go. I know somethings about music theory. :) Lastly, your English is really good!
I’ve seen mister Donut in a few places around Asia but I was never sure where it originated. Really enjoyed your previous video talking about classical music , it made a nice change from a lot of the rubbish usually on TH-cam.
Art is not always about how "well" you can do something but about expression. Many artists are not the best but are unique in what they're able to express. The people I admire most are very passionate people because their passion gets passed on to others. You're still young enough to learn many ways of expression, creating, and doing. Some people think trying many things makes you a failure or "half-assed" but it can be necessary to try many things to find the things you love! I think it can be an exciting thought of how many things we've yet to try that we will fall in love with. The problem comes in finding the time. You have to understand that for every time you look and admire someone, someone is also probably admiring you.
Girl, you can still be a professional musician! Being part of an orchestra or a soloist is honestly pretty difficult and takes many years of practicing, but there are plenty other careers in music that you can focus on. You could study to be a composer, a gigging musician, a teacher, an audio technician, a conductor, an art director, etc.. Don't let that drive go, join a choir or something lol.
「half-assed」は「ハ フ ア ス ド」と同様言えます。この「ド」は短い「d」の音です。そうでないと、「half-acid」と同様聞こえます。 I hope my explanation makes sense. 😅 Alternatives to, “this may be off the track [...]” (14:43) which are perhaps more commonly used and thus sound a bit more natural: This may be “off topic” [...] This may be a “tangent” [...] Chase your dreams in this life. There is always something within reach. And do not focus on what your are lacking in comparison to others, for such focus leads to envy, jealousy, and other feelings that only serve to hurt you. Instead, focus on your ability to be the change that you want to see in your life.
I think you were trying to say "half assed" which means not giving your all or not doing your best. 12:24 "Reincarnation" "re in car nation" - to be born again in another life as someone else or something. Your explanation was right 👍
Hi Shika , I understand 🙏🏻 your feelings on different, on elements of subjects like classical music 🎵🎶 explore, opera or concerts and the feeling of your interest draws you in a professional way to how you look at life Shika you have knowledge plus brilliance make your dream dear, take care 😊🌸👍🏻enjoy Mr. Donuts 🥯🍩😊
Recently started watching your vids its very relaxing and really helps me a lot on managing stress from work so thank you very much. Edit: You aren't half assed because you put in the effort in trying you just haven't found what you are good at and that is ok so just keep looking because i believe you can find it someday, i will be cheering for you all the way!
Its never too late to pursue your dreams and goals. I recently started to pursue my dream to become a computer programmer, and I will not give up. I want you to do the same and follow your dreams.
I don't think you have been half-assed. That word usually describes someone who doesn't work hard. It means you only give 50%. That's different than actual achievements. Maybe you didn't excell in school, or in music, but you do have skills. Maybe some are undiscovered. Your English is very good, and you are working hard to learn words and concepts and are making videos almost daily to practice and share with native English speakers. You're learning a lot, actually, about the world, people, music, art, etc. And you have been discussing those interesting topics with us. That's the opposite of doing things half-assed. It can be fun to imagine yourself being reincarnated as someone new. But really, THIS is the life you have. You are still young enough to learn new skills and enjoy things you learn, and become a person you are proud of. Reincarnation makes no sense anyway. Why be reborn if we don't actually remember anything from our supposed past lives? Live your life Shika/Olivia/one-day-you'll-hopefully-share-your-real-name! Keep studying and learning, and and you'll figure out what you want to do. I believe it!
May I please suggest you try some jazz music sometime? Here is a great album to start with: “Kind of Blue” by Miles Davis. It’s very relaxing by the way.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and teaching us new things. I was really identifying with some of the things you said, for example I'm half-ass about some things I do also, I wish I would have focused more of the things I like such as science or classical guitar. I took classical guitar lessons then set the guitar aside for too long, lately I restarted focusing on my guitar, which is an instrument capable of making such beautiful music the flesh of the fingers touching the strings, and the ability to make vibrato and legato is so lovely. I also like other musical genres. Yourself reflection somehow seems so angelic, I know that sounds corny but that's how I feel... Btw have you heard The piece adagio in G by tomaso albinoni. Just a thought but maybe we will all eventually meet if reincarnation is eternal ... Take care Shika ❤️
Hello! I enjoy your videos and your English is great! I can hear an improvement each time and your confidence seems to also be growing! Listening to you makes me feel relaxed and calm and I'm also glad you are showing more of yourself! You're a beautiful young lady and I wish you much success! :)
Let me ask you some questions so that you can make a video later on. Do you have a favourite composer? What pieces did the orchestra play? Did you study classical music in school? Do you play any musical instruments?
this is my first time commenting but ive been watching for a month. you sound like you would have a good singing voice, i've been meaning to say that :D
If I was reborn, I would'nt want to be anything else other than being in a constant state of Contentment. It would'nt matter what I do, only what I would be.
If I could choose what I could be in another life I think I would like to be an author or writer. I do write here and there, and i do enjoy it, but I never considered where it would take me if I chose to pursue it as a possible career
If I could be reborn I would want to be a bird. Because I think maybe life is simple as a bird, you just do your best and catch the wind, there is no over-thinking, no mental conflicts. You just catch the wind, catch the food, attract a mate, etc. And if you don't, you don't start to question weather or not you should be a bird anymore. I'm trying to get to bird level of zen as a human though.
Those pieces are examples of the romantic style of classical music. They stir up emotions. For calm classical try the French composer Eric Sati, especially his Gymnopédies compositions.
9:01 "I was admire by them."って違います。 "I was inspired by them."って正しいです。 12年間日本語を勉強しているのに、話すことはまだできないし😅 だから、Shika, you inspire me! Your effort and videos inspire me! ありがとうね！😊
At 9:05 you said that you “were admired by them” but that sounds like they were watching you play. Instead you should say that you “were admiring them.” I hope that helps and I’m glad you enjoyed the concert ❤❤
@@kafkasbugmusic Because that does not have any impact whatsoever on language that has been acquired. It's a different area of the brain. For example, Krashen said that a Japanese national who was an linguist and English grammar expert often made grammar mistakes while speaking English. How is that possible when he knows more about English than native English speakers? Well obviously the answer is that two completely different areas of the brain are being used.
When I was in school, I didn't care about anything teacher presented to me. I half-assed my way through my entire childhood. - It wasn't until I was an adult, that I began working hard; and this is because I didn't know what I wanted in life, until I was forced to move out and start living my life.
Have you considered learning an instrument ? If listening to classical music helps you feel calm, it's possible that learning an instrument might bring you happiness!! :) I noticed a piano behind you ! Do you play piano by chance ? I've played guitar for 18 years, and it has made my life much happier. Life is beautiful with music. I am very thankful to Japanese musicians because a lot of my favourite music is Japanese metal and visual kei music. Maybe you might enjoy Galneryus? They're a Japanese neoclassical metal band. They wrote a song inspired by Tchaikovsky called Angel of Salvation :). It's metal music, but it is influenced by classical music. I wish you lots of happiness , and please do not give up on yourself !!! 😊 Zettai akiramenai de kudasai!
It's okay for you to half-assed thing if you doesn't feel any passion toward any them. If you do thing you hate or you don't like, you will ended up harming yourself. Regardless, you need to find something you want to do in your life, after all there are still time in this world for you to live with before the reincarnation. Just don't commit suicide to make it faster, please I beg you. Anyway, I suggest you watch some movie from US/UK (any movie with native English actor) and instead using Japanese subtitle or Japanese dubbing, you watch it using English subtitle. This method is the one I use to accustomed my brain to English, it may help you to construct English sentence in your mind faster since it seem you have problem with it. Your pronunciation is already good though, better than mine in fact. That's it I guess, I pray for you success in learning English until you're fluent and wish you and your grandma a good health.
'シカ'ちゃん、はじめまして！毎晩英語フリートークが面白いです。シカちゃんの英語も上手です！もっと自分に自信を持ちましょう。マレーシアから。Ps. You're practicing your English and I'm practicing my Japanese 😅これからよろしくお願いします！
Life is hard , we are all doing what we can. I just advice you to enjoy little things, you can always learn new things. Maybe if you shift your view from "i want to be professional in another life" to "we wont have another life, so i will be good at what i like now". But the idea is doing it for yourself, not for others. Doing it just for the sake of enjoy doing it. I like making music, is my music good? Absolutely not! 😅 But i have fun doing it and i can express my feelings. Remember: Good is better than perfect. I dont believe in reincarnation, i like to do things while i can control them, i can only control my life, my actions and how i respond to the world.
You are doing great!! No one can see the future, so all you can do is your best! I hope your work week goes smoothly! Best wishes to you and your family Shika chan!!
we are around the same age, so i guess we both don't have much experience in life. i took swimming, tennis, and piano, but i was ahh in them lol. apparently i was one of the top musicians in my grade (i got an award for that I think), but i played the flute. this sounds ironic, but i think im somewhat bad at everything too, lol. Maybe I just need wayyy more patience and time to learn and practice. 😅 Do you often daydream? sometimes i dream about being a versatile musician and just being an intelligent, multi-talented, and professional person overall. like i imagine i was a pro drummer (im inspired by drummers), but i know it wont happen (yet?) cause i am broke. 😅 daydreaming is a bad thing, but it is addicting. 😓 i dont believe in reincarnation because im catholic, but i kinda find comfort in knowing there are several "dumb" or "untalented" saints like St. Therese of Lisieux and most notably, St. Peter who was chosen by Jesus/God. also because God basically said that heaven is going to be like a million times better than Earth. In my religion, both are good, but Humility (Humble) > Intelligence. What an interesting video thumbnail too. 👀
Reincarnation is something that I’ve thought about many times probably because of the things I’ve gone through in this lifetime. I think I would rather come back as an animal, like a domestic cat 🐈. I love mine very dearly and give him the best life I possibly can, so living a life like his would be nice.
That donut looks like a honey cruller. My favourite. Looks oishii. I saw packaged Krispy Kreme donuts in a store recently (Don quijote?), have you tried those?
Glad you enjoyed the concert, did you fall asleep at any time ? I think you undervalue yourself hugely, your english is exceptional, your deep thoughts are inspiring. I think doing the best you can in life is a worthwhile achievement, even if no one else thinks so. Reincarnation is a fascinating subject, I have watched documentaries on this and it really makes you think about this subject. Bye 😄
Even though I get your line of thinking about wanting to get another chance at life and become really good at something, I don't think you need to be reborn in order to achieve something great. It doesn't matter what age you are, if you really want to do something and put your heart and Soul into it you can achieve anything. Whether you want to learn an instrument or ten, learn how to draw or become a famous actor, you can do that. That's something that applies to anyone. It's never too late to start.
Came here to say this. But especially at 24, you will still pick up on a skill quickly, relative to starting later in life. Of course, the best time to start may have been 20 years ago. But you didn't. So might as well start today.
Have you been able to practise your english with people in person? When you start interacting live with people, that will give your brain a different type of workout. Not necessarily people in this youtube channel, but just in real life - if you have the opportunity to practise with native english speakers, that will help a lot too.
Jack of all trades, master of none is more useful then a master of one. Also you are incredibly beautiful, smart and inquisitive. I am in love through a screen I believe.
ビデオをアップロードしてくれてありがとうございました。 September 29 is pronounced twenty-ninth not twenty-nine 4:04 「program」 has no 'l' in it 4:41 「especially」 has no 'r' 8:07 「I was listening to those classical music... 」 I was listening to those classical songs... 9:01 「I was admired by them 」 I admired them 9:58 「I wish I could be some professional in one field like professional musician and professional artist are very, attracts me alot. I wish I could be a professional in just one field like a musician or an artist. I'm really drawn to them. 12:06 「I'm half 〇ssed with everthing and I'm not proud of it.」 〇ssed isn't pronounced like 'acid'(酸) with 2 syllables. It just has 1 syllable like 'passed' 12:33 「I'm should hampunan人間 in everything. 」 What is 'hampunan人間？ Maybe it's 半punan人間? 20:34 「It's another week starting a game.」 It's another week starting again. 20:47 「and also this September is almost end...this September almost ends」 and also September is almost at an end. I hope these will continue to help you with your English. You have worked very hard at improving your English and it's getting better and it shows in your videos that you're improving! 🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩
You are good to listen to. I think a lot of us wish we were professional musicians or artists but you can start at any time. I started 2 years ago. I will not give up.
I can understand how you feel about not achieving certain goals in life I originally wanted to be a nurse after highschool but became a personal support worker after struggling at college, a few years later I switched jobs to heavy equipment truck driver which I like doing a lot more. Ever since Covid I made it a goal to experience more that life has to offer by trying new things like learning how to do woodworking, hunting, sailing, spearfishing, Learning Japanese, renovating a house... etcetera. It costs a lot of money to learn to fly in Canada but I at least got to go one time up in an airplane and fly it, it was a lot of fun. I know some people might say I am "half assed/はふあせd" but I am fine with that because at 30 years old I have found joy in trying new things and enjoying the little things in life like watching the sunset over a beautiful location which could make me a professional at enjoying what life has to offer I am also sure you will be able to achieve something similar.

We need a shika, yuka-chan joint broadcast.they have completely different personalities.maybe they could react to something together or go to a restaurant yuka loves to eat 🙂 shika's English is better.maybe they could bring the best out in each other.
Charming woman ❤
Hey, I'm RJ. Just found your channel. I have subscribed!
I know how you feel. I used to halfbaked everything I do whether it was learning to play the piano, or learning a second language. I found drawing to be my passion. I'm working free lanced as a comic/manga artist. So, don't be so hard on yourself. Find something you really enjoy. The most successful people are successful because they love their craft. They really enjoyed doing their job.I think I remember you saying in a video that you want to learn to play the piano. I think you should gove it another go. I know somethings about music theory. :) Lastly, your English is really good!
you have a great voice this is like an asmr video
I’ve seen mister Donut in a few places around Asia but I was never sure where it originated.
Really enjoyed your previous video talking about classical music , it made a nice change from a lot of the rubbish usually on TH-cam.
Art is not always about how "well" you can do something but about expression. Many artists are not the best but are unique in what they're able to express. The people I admire most are very passionate people because their passion gets passed on to others. You're still young enough to learn many ways of expression, creating, and doing. Some people think trying many things makes you a failure or "half-assed" but it can be necessary to try many things to find the things you love! I think it can be an exciting thought of how many things we've yet to try that we will fall in love with. The problem comes in finding the time.
You have to understand that for every time you look and admire someone, someone is also probably admiring you.
You are the best!! ❤
Girl, you can still be a professional musician! Being part of an orchestra or a soloist is honestly pretty difficult and takes many years of practicing, but there are plenty other careers in music that you can focus on. You could study to be a composer, a gigging musician, a teacher, an audio technician, a conductor, an art director, etc.. Don't let that drive go, join a choir or something lol.
i didn't bother reading anything you said my content better
「half-assed」は「ハ フ ア ス ド」と同様言えます。この「ド」は短い「d」の音です。そうでないと、「half-acid」と同様聞こえます。
I hope my explanation makes sense. 😅
Alternatives to, “this may be off the track [...]” (14:43) which are perhaps more commonly used and thus sound a bit more natural:
This may be “off topic” [...]
This may be a “tangent” [...]
Chase your dreams in this life. There is always something within reach. And do not focus on what your are lacking in comparison to others, for such focus leads to envy, jealousy, and other feelings that only serve to hurt you. Instead, focus on your ability to be the change that you want to see in your life.
Thank you very much for your corrections!
I think you were trying to say "half assed" which means not giving your all or not doing your best. 12:24
"Reincarnation" "re in car nation" - to be born again in another life as someone else or something. Your explanation was right 👍
i didn't bother reading anything you said my content better
Hi Shika , I understand 🙏🏻 your feelings on different, on elements of subjects like classical music 🎵🎶 explore, opera or concerts and the feeling of your interest draws you in a professional way to how you look at life Shika you have knowledge plus brilliance make your dream dear, take care 😊🌸👍🏻enjoy Mr. Donuts 🥯🍩😊
Recently started watching your vids its very relaxing and really helps me a lot on managing stress from work so thank you very much.
Edit: You aren't half assed because you put in the effort in trying you just haven't found what you are good at and that is ok so just keep looking because i believe you can find it someday, i will be cheering for you all the way!
かわいいサムネイル写真！
ミスタードーナツにはまだ行ったことがないのですが、行ってみたいです。
音楽に引き込まれて感情が動いたなんて、素敵ですね。いい気分でしょう？
Shikaちゃんは、もうすごいことをやっていると思います。
マルチリンガルで大胆不敵なYou Tuber！
これには感動！
もしかしたら、Shikaゃんのこの人生における情熱は、まだ発見されていないのかもしれない。
今週もよろしくお願いします!
I love your videos and you are great. I believe in reincarnation also. I hope you have a great Monday
Its never too late to pursue your dreams and goals. I recently started to pursue my dream to become a computer programmer, and I will not give up. I want you to do the same and follow your dreams.
I don't think you have been half-assed. That word usually describes someone who doesn't work hard. It means you only give 50%. That's different than actual achievements. Maybe you didn't excell in school, or in music, but you do have skills. Maybe some are undiscovered. Your English is very good, and you are working hard to learn words and concepts and are making videos almost daily to practice and share with native English speakers. You're learning a lot, actually, about the world, people, music, art, etc. And you have been discussing those interesting topics with us. That's the opposite of doing things half-assed.
It can be fun to imagine yourself being reincarnated as someone new. But really, THIS is the life you have. You are still young enough to learn new skills and enjoy things you learn, and become a person you are proud of. Reincarnation makes no sense anyway. Why be reborn if we don't actually remember anything from our supposed past lives? Live your life Shika/Olivia/one-day-you'll-hopefully-share-your-real-name! Keep studying and learning, and and you'll figure out what you want to do. I believe it!
i didn't bother reading anything you said my content better
May I please suggest you try some jazz music sometime? Here is a great album to start with: “Kind of Blue” by Miles Davis. It’s very relaxing by the way.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and teaching us new things. I was really identifying with some of the things you said, for example I'm half-ass about some things I do also, I wish I would have focused more of the things I like such as science or classical guitar. I took classical guitar lessons then set the guitar aside for too long, lately I restarted focusing on my guitar, which is an instrument capable of making such beautiful music the flesh of the fingers touching the strings, and the ability to make vibrato and legato is so lovely. I also like other musical genres. Yourself reflection somehow seems so angelic, I know that sounds corny but that's how I feel... Btw have you heard The piece adagio in G by tomaso albinoni. Just a thought but maybe we will all eventually meet if reincarnation is eternal ... Take care Shika ❤️
I feel the same. I also have poor vision. I wonder if that makes it hard to concentrate. I still haven't given up hope of mastering something though.
i didn't bother reading anything you said my content better
Hello! I enjoy your videos and your English is great! I can hear an improvement each time and your confidence seems to also be growing! Listening to you makes me feel relaxed and calm and I'm also glad you are showing more of yourself! You're a beautiful young lady and I wish you much success! :)
your voice is brilliant , please do an audio book . or an intro ......... like the intro to 'war of the worlds'' .... pretty please :)
hello shika. i love your videos, you're doing well😊
Let me ask you some questions so that you can make a video later on.
Do you have a favourite composer?
What pieces did the orchestra play?
Did you study classical music in school?
Do you play any musical instruments?
this is my first time commenting but ive been watching for a month. you sound like you would have a good singing voice, i've been meaning to say that :D
If I was reborn, I would'nt want to be anything else other than being in a constant state of Contentment. It would'nt matter what I do, only what I would be.
October is my favorite month, i plan on watching ju-on:the grudge 😳
You're eating the cats! (chocolate dipped french donut)
Looks like a Cruller Donut. Good choice.
If I could choose what I could be in another life I think I would like to be an author or writer. I do write here and there, and i do enjoy it, but I never considered where it would take me if I chose to pursue it as a possible career
If I could be reborn I would want to be a bird. Because I think maybe life is simple as a bird, you just do your best and catch the wind, there is no over-thinking, no mental conflicts. You just catch the wind, catch the food, attract a mate, etc. And if you don't, you don't start to question weather or not you should be a bird anymore. I'm trying to get to bird level of zen as a human though.
Those pieces are examples of the romantic style of classical music. They stir up emotions. For calm classical try the French composer Eric Sati, especially his Gymnopédies compositions.
9:01 "I was admire by them."って違います。
"I was inspired by them."って正しいです。
12年間日本語を勉強しているのに、話すことはまだできないし😅
だから、Shika, you inspire me! Your effort and videos inspire me! ありがとうね！😊
His face gone somewhere😂😂😂
At 9:05 you said that you “were admired by them” but that sounds like they were watching you play. Instead you should say that you “were admiring them.” I hope that helps and I’m glad you enjoyed the concert ❤❤
Actually, it doesn't "help" at all according to linguistics research.
@songandwind72 how correcting a mistake doesnt help?
@@kafkasbugmusic Because that does not have any impact whatsoever on language that has been acquired. It's a different area of the brain. For example, Krashen said that a Japanese national who was an linguist and English grammar expert often made grammar mistakes while speaking English. How is that possible when he knows more about English than native English speakers? Well obviously the answer is that two completely different areas of the brain are being used.
@@songandwind72 i have been corrected with my English and i have improved... It's called learning
@@kafkasbugmusic You LEARNED but didn't acquire, hence your misunderstanding of the topic in the first place.
Shika have a great week! 🙂
You are beautiful and smart
yaho skika chan .nice Mister donut. i also like Beethoven ^^
When I was in school, I didn't care about anything teacher presented to me.
I half-assed my way through my entire childhood.
-
It wasn't until I was an adult, that I began working hard; and this is because I didn't know what I wanted in life, until I was forced to move out and start living my life.
im glad you exist
too beautiful
Being half of what you feel you can do..
Try everything.
You will find something that you're so passionate at that you will tattoo it on your forehead
Video request: You watching English comedy shows and reacting.
i didn't bother reading anything you said my content better
Have you considered learning an instrument ? If listening to classical music helps you feel calm, it's possible that learning an instrument might bring you happiness!! :)
I noticed a piano behind you ! Do you play piano by chance ?
I've played guitar for 18 years, and it has made my life much happier. Life is beautiful with music. I am very thankful to Japanese musicians because a lot of my favourite music is Japanese metal and visual kei music.
Maybe you might enjoy Galneryus? They're a Japanese neoclassical metal band. They wrote a song inspired by Tchaikovsky called Angel of Salvation :). It's metal music, but it is influenced by classical music.
I wish you lots of happiness , and please do not give up on yourself !!! 😊 Zettai akiramenai de kudasai!
didn't watch because my content is way better
Choco-fashion = best
Hello Shika! You are very beautiful!
❤ Love from India.
It's okay for you to half-assed thing if you doesn't feel any passion toward any them. If you do thing you hate or you don't like, you will ended up harming yourself. Regardless, you need to find something you want to do in your life, after all there are still time in this world for you to live with before the reincarnation. Just don't commit suicide to make it faster, please I beg you.
Anyway, I suggest you watch some movie from US/UK (any movie with native English actor) and instead using Japanese subtitle or Japanese dubbing, you watch it using English subtitle. This method is the one I use to accustomed my brain to English, it may help you to construct English sentence in your mind faster since it seem you have problem with it. Your pronunciation is already good though, better than mine in fact.
That's it I guess, I pray for you success in learning English until you're fluent and wish you and your grandma a good health.
i didn't bother reading anything you said my content better
do you know the song Pachelbel - Canon In D Major?
i think you would like it
'シカ'ちゃん、はじめまして！毎晩英語フリートークが面白いです。シカちゃんの英語も上手です！もっと自分に自信を持ちましょう。マレーシアから。Ps. You're practicing your English and I'm practicing my Japanese 😅これからよろしくお願いします！
Life is hard , we are all doing what we can. I just advice you to enjoy little things, you can always learn new things. Maybe if you shift your view from "i want to be professional in another life" to "we wont have another life, so i will be good at what i like now". But the idea is doing it for yourself, not for others. Doing it just for the sake of enjoy doing it. I like making music, is my music good? Absolutely not! 😅 But i have fun doing it and i can express my feelings. Remember: Good is better than perfect.
I dont believe in reincarnation, i like to do things while i can control them, i can only control my life, my actions and how i respond to the world.
I’m jealous of the donuts I haven’t ate in a while I’m trying to eat healthier.
6:02 I think you're looking for the word "intense", and beethoven's 5th is definitely intense
Fun fact: tensei means reincarnation
Hello there your English is amazing🤗
Band name: Led Zepplin song name Kashmir. Bye❤
あなたは素晴らしい人です！
Stop saying anata, say her name. It’s rude to say anata if you don’t know the person personally.
so purePURE!!!!
You are doing great!! No one can see the future, so all you can do is your best! I hope your work week goes smoothly! Best wishes to you and your family Shika chan!!
Good morning ☺️ 🙏 🌄 💓 ✨️
man I really want a doughnut now
we are around the same age, so i guess we both don't have much experience in life. i took swimming, tennis, and piano, but i was ahh in them lol. apparently i was one of the top musicians in my grade (i got an award for that I think), but i played the flute. this sounds ironic, but i think im somewhat bad at everything too, lol. Maybe I just need wayyy more patience and time to learn and practice. 😅
Do you often daydream? sometimes i dream about being a versatile musician and just being an intelligent, multi-talented, and professional person overall. like i imagine i was a pro drummer (im inspired by drummers), but i know it wont happen (yet?) cause i am broke. 😅 daydreaming is a bad thing, but it is addicting. 😓
i dont believe in reincarnation because im catholic, but i kinda find comfort in knowing there are several "dumb" or "untalented" saints like St. Therese of Lisieux and most notably, St. Peter who was chosen by Jesus/God. also because God basically said that heaven is going to be like a million times better than Earth. In my religion, both are good, but Humility (Humble) > Intelligence.
What an interesting video thumbnail too. 👀
Reincarnation is something that I’ve thought about many times probably because of the things I’ve gone through in this lifetime. I think I would rather come back as an animal, like a domestic cat 🐈. I love mine very dearly and give him the best life I possibly can, so living a life like his would be nice.
Did you ever "half-assEd" any martial arts classes as a kid? Karate? Judo?

Lol too early for Halloween 👻🎃
That donut looks like a honey cruller. My favourite. Looks oishii. I saw packaged Krispy Kreme donuts in a store recently (Don quijote?), have you tried those?
Goodnight!
Thankfully she's not a farmer or archaeologist in her desire to be outstanding in her field.
(Phonetic joke. Sound it out.)
I'm wondering where shika is, she hasn't posted yet, she could either be busy or tired.
i didn't bother reading anything you said my content better
Glad you enjoyed the concert, did you fall asleep at any time ?
I think you undervalue yourself hugely, your english is exceptional, your deep thoughts are inspiring.
I think doing the best you can in life is a worthwhile achievement, even if no one else thinks so.
Reincarnation is a fascinating subject, I have watched documentaries on this and it really makes you think about this subject. Bye 😄
cute
Even though I get your line of thinking about wanting to get another chance at life and become really good at something, I don't think you need to be reborn in order to achieve something great.
It doesn't matter what age you are, if you really want to do something and put your heart and Soul into it you can achieve anything. Whether you want to learn an instrument or ten, learn how to draw or become a famous actor, you can do that. That's something that applies to anyone.
It's never too late to start.
Came here to say this. But especially at 24, you will still pick up on a skill quickly, relative to starting later in life. Of course, the best time to start may have been 20 years ago. But you didn't. So might as well start today.
Try getting a guitar and see if you enjoy it. Maybe you can play some English songs you like to help with the language learning as well.
Hi, i wish you a good evening
I tried Mister Donut when I visited Japan but didn’t love it. I want to open Miss Donut.
Jpop artist 😊
Have you been able to practise your english with people in person? When you start interacting live with people, that will give your brain a different type of workout. Not necessarily people in this youtube channel, but just in real life - if you have the opportunity to practise with native english speakers, that will help a lot too.
Shika, do you like Halloween 🎃👻
She saying she half assed? Haha my mother always called me that
Jack of all trades, master of none is more useful then a master of one.
Also you are incredibly beautiful, smart and inquisitive. I am in love through a screen I believe.

September 29 is pronounced twenty-ninth not twenty-nine
4:04 「program」 has no 'l' in it
4:41 「especially」 has no 'r'
8:07 「I was listening to those classical music... 」 I was listening to those classical songs...
9:01 「I was admired by them 」 I admired them
9:58 「I wish I could be some professional in one field like professional musician and professional artist are very, attracts me alot.
I wish I could be a professional in just one field like a musician or an artist. I'm really drawn to them.
12:06 「I'm half 〇ssed with everthing and I'm not proud of it.」 〇ssed isn't pronounced like 'acid'(酸) with 2 syllables. It just has 1 syllable like 'passed'
12:33 「I'm should hampunan人間 in everything. 」 What is 'hampunan人間？ Maybe it's 半punan人間?
20:34 「It's another week starting a game.」 It's another week starting again.
20:47 「and also this September is almost end...this September almost ends」 and also September is almost at an end.
I hope these will continue to help you with your English. You have worked very hard at improving your English and it's getting better and it shows in your videos that you're improving!
