我讓你看看！

Oh my god guys there's so many sandwiches to choose from, I don't know which one I'm gonna get!

哦，我的上帝，夥計們有這麼多的三明治，從選擇，我不知道哪一個我要得到的。

Cheese Dessert Vege?!

奶酪甜點vege？

This sandwich looks delicious it's gotta be this sandwich, it's gotta be this one!

這個三明治看起來很好吃 一定是這個三明治，一定是這個！

Just bought a sandwich from Lawson's in Japan

I don't know what's in it but it's probably the best sandwich I've ever had!

我不知道里面有什麼，但這可能是我吃過的最好吃的三明治了!

I wanna kill myself

我想自殺

You know I've never been a good YouTuber

你知道我從來都不是一個好的優步。

First off unlike lots of clever YouTubers, I've never given the viewers of the Abroad In Japan channel

首先，與很多聰明的YouTububers不同，我從來沒有給 "海外日本 "頻道的觀眾們提供過

some kind of community name like "bros" or "my best friends" or "the fuzzy wuzzy fun club"

某種社區名稱，如 "兄弟 "或 "我最好的朋友 "或 "模糊模糊的樂趣俱樂部"

As well as that I'm not the happiest of presenters, I find most successful YouTubers tend to have a positive smiley online persona

我不是最快樂的主持人，但我發現大多數成功的YouTubers都有一個積極的微笑的網絡形象。

as if they'd simultaneously won a bucket of treasure and snorted a mountain of cocaine in the moments leading up to filming a video

彷彿他們同時贏得了一桶寶藏和吸食了堆積如山的可卡因，在拍攝視頻之前的那一瞬間

Unfortunately, again, I can't do that I'm as cynical and grumpy on here as I would be if you met me in a bar in Tokyo

不幸的是，我又做不到，我在這裡玩世不恭，脾氣暴躁，就像你在東京的酒吧裡遇到我一樣。

In fact in the past I've been described by Metropolis, Japan's number one English magazine

事實上，過去日本第一英文雜誌《大都會》也曾評價過我

as "fairly jaded and snarky yet weirdly charming"

頗有幾分江湖氣，幾分尖酸刻薄，幾分怪力亂神的味道

"Snarky"! It's ridiculous!

"尖酸刻薄"！太荒唐了！

Majestic! Exceptional! Ravishing!

壯觀！非凡！奢華！

These words would have been far more appropriate!

這些話就更合適了!

Undoubtedly the biggest criticism I faced in my 4 years as a YouTuber though

毫無疑問，這是我做優酷4年來面臨的最大的責備，不過。

is my irregular upload schedule

是我的不定期上傳時間表

which admittedly not even I can defend

連我也不服

But I'll try!

但我會努力的！

For the first 3 years of doing the Abroad in Japan Channel I worked as an English teacher

在日本留學頻道的前3年裡，我一直擔任英語老師。

Teaching the children of Japan what sarcasm is and how to pronounce words like "penguin"

教會日本孩子們什麼是諷刺，以及 "企鵝 "等詞語的發音。

So it was always a side hobby and I only had time to make one video per month

所以一直是副業，我每個月只有時間拍一個視頻。

But this year, having finished that job, the Abroad in Japan channel became almost a full time job

但今年，完成了這項工作，在日本的出國頻道幾乎成了全職工作。

And videos went from monthly to almost every other week

而視頻從每月一次到幾乎每隔一週一次

But it soon became clear in the absence of a stable source of income

但很快就發現，在沒有穩定收入來源的情況下。

Building a YouTube channel wasn't easy

建立一個YouTube頻道並不容易

It often seems that videos on the Abroad in Japan channel are very random

日本留學頻道的視頻經常顯得很隨意。

One week we're in an onsen, another week we're in Tsukiji fish market in Tokyo

一個星期我們在溫泉裡，另一個星期我們在東京的築地魚市場。

or a love hotel or maybe we're just in the apartment rebranding a vacuum cleaner

或者是愛情旅館，或者是我們在公寓裡重塑吸塵器的形象

"Vacuum-cleaner"

"吸塵器"

"Fucking...?!"

"他媽的......？"

"...cleaner??!!

"......清潔工？

But the one thing all the videos have in common is a lot of time goes into producing them

但所有的視頻都有一個共同點，那就是製作這些視頻需要花費大量的時間。

Whether that's researching and writing, going off and filming, or the many hours spent hunched over

不管是研究和寫作，還是去拍攝，或者是長時間的彎腰駝背。

a computer editing long into the night

徹夜編輯

A lot of time goes into making them as educational and entertaining...hopefully entertaining as possible

花了很多時間來使它們具有教育性和娛樂性......希望儘可能的娛樂化。

Even if you're someone who hates these videos because they give you depression

即使你是一個討厭這些視頻的人，因為他們給你抑鬱症。

I like to think it's still evident that a lot of time has gone into making them nonetheless

我覺得還是很明顯的花了很多時間來製作它們的

But it became clear even though the videos were performing well, YouTube ad revenue just wasn't stable enough to fund the channel

但很明顯，即使視頻表現良好，YouTube的廣告收入也不夠穩定，無法為頻道提供資金。

in the long run, particularly as everyone now uses ad blockers

從長遠來看，尤其是現在大家都在使用廣告攔截器。

And who can blame them given how much shit comes up on the internet these days

誰又能責怪他們呢？ 這幾天網絡上出現了那麼多的爛事

So last month I launched a crowd-funding page on Patreon where people who enjoy the channel can support it and the videos

所以上個月我在Patreon上推出了一個眾籌頁面，喜歡這個頻道的人可以支持它和視頻。

and get extra stuff in return such as bonus content and articles and videos

並獲得額外的東西作為回報，如獎勵內容和文章和視頻。

And a Live Google Hangout every month

而且每個月都會有一次Google Hangout直播

And even an exclusive video series called Abroad in Japan stories talking about experiences

甚至還推出了名為 "日本的海外故事 "的獨家視頻系列，講述經驗。

that may be too personal, too embarrassing to feature on the actual channel itself

這可能是太個人化了，太尷尬了，在實際的管道本身的功能

The first of which is up there now about why I came to Japan

其中第一篇是關於我為什麼來日本的。

I did this with the hopes that all the funds raised from Patreon will be used to fund more videos

我這樣做，是希望Patreon籌集的資金能全部用於資助更多的視頻。

and to help grow the channel in the long-run

並有助於管道的長期發展。

And the response was absolutely fantastic!

而且反應絕對是非常棒的!

I didn't anticipate so many people to take part in the first month and I can safely say

我沒有預料到第一個月會有這麼多人参加，我可以肯定地說

the future of the Abroad in Japan channel is looking very bright indeed and the funds are now there to

日本留學頻道的前景確實非常光明，現在資金也已經到位，可以為我們提供

help grow the channel and create more videos in the long run

幫助頻道發展，並長期創造更多的視頻。

So a huge thanks to everyone for supporting the Patreon page

所以，非常感謝大家對Patreon頁面的支持。

Another criticism I face is I don't make enough vlogging kinda videos showing my everyday life in Japan

我面臨的另一個責備是，我沒有製作足夠的vlog，展示我在日本的日常生活。

But I think the time has come to try less edited videos, videos that are showing "life on the go around Japan"

但我認為，現在是時候嘗試少剪輯的視頻，展現 "日本週邊生活 "的視頻了。

And these are kind of videos that don't really fit the Abroad in Japan channel

而這些都是那種不適合在日本出國頻道的視頻。

and with that in mind there's a brand new second channel where I plan to upload more experimental daily life stuff

在腦海中，有一個全新的第二個頻道，我計劃在那裡上傳更多的實驗性日常生活的東西。

that is a bit weird!

有點奇怪

If the Abroad in Japan Channel is like my first born son who I'm very proud of

如果在日本的海外頻道就像我的長子一樣，我很驕傲的長子

who's gone off to become a lawyer then the second channel is kind of the more rebellious failed son

他去當律師了 那麼第二個管道就是那種比較叛逆的失敗的兒子。

who I don't really want people knowing about but anyway nonetheless he is still my son

我不想讓別人知道的人 但不管怎樣，他還是我的兒子。

And I called him "Abroad Perspective"

我還叫他 "國外視角"

And to subscribe to this channel it's absolutely free and the first video involves a horrendous drinking game

訂閱這個頻道是完全免費的 第一個視頻涉及一個可怕的飲酒遊戲。

that I played with Natsuki that probably doesn't really fit this channel, I don't know what it does fit

我和夏樹玩的那個可能不適合這個頻道，我不知道它適合什麼？

In fact I hesitate calling it a drinking game at all

其實我根本不願意稱它為酒局

it's more of a just general fucking disaster!

它更多的只是一個一般他媽的災難！

Too heavy!!

太重了！

One final thing, you may have noticed I'm in a brand new apartment

最後一件事，你可能已經注意到我住在一個全新的公寓裡了

And i've just moved into here, it's the reason there has been no videos for the last month

而我剛搬到這裡，這就是上個月沒有視頻的原因。

Moving in here has been a stressful nightmare

搬到這裡來一直是個壓力巨大的噩夢

But, it's done, and I can finally get back to making videos and better still, it's significantly bigger and

但是，它完成了，我終於可以回去做視頻了，而且更好的是，它明顯地大了，而且。

cheaper somehow than the last one!

某種程度上比上一個便宜!

And it looks like a Japanese apartment!

而且它看起來像一個日本公寓！

As opposed to the last one who was also a bit like a shipping container

相對於上一個也有點像貨櫃的人而言

So in summary, the future of the Abroad in Japan channel is looking pretty bright and

所以綜上所述，日本留學頻道的前景是相當光明的，而且

I just wanna say a huge thanks to everyone who's supported the channel over the years

我只是想說一個巨大的感謝 每一個人誰的支持 頻道多年來

and just enjoyed watching the videos regularly

並喜歡定期觀看視頻

I'm off now to watch my favorite Japanese superhero movie

我現在要去看我最喜歡的日本超級英雄電影了。

Who needs Spiderman and Batman when you've got:

有了蜘蛛人和蝙蝠俠，誰還需要蜘蛛人和蝙蝠俠。

"Planting Tree Man"!

"植樹人"!

"Let's make the forest of life with dream, courage and hope"

"讓我們用夢想、勇氣和希望來打造生命之林"

You don't see Spiderman thinking up anything like that

你沒見過蜘蛛人想出這種事。

Look at those pesky ninjas and that rather unpleasant Tongue...Man

看看那些討厭的忍者，還有那個相當不討喜的通靈......夥計。

If Planting Tree Man can fend off these villainous swine as well as plant trees then he's more than ready to join the Avengers in my mind

如果種樹人既能抵禦這些惡豬，又能種樹，那麼在我看來，他已經做好了加入復仇者聯盟的準備。

Move over Avengers, Planting Tree Man is in town!

移開復仇者們，植樹人來了! Move over Avengers, Planting Tree Man is in town!

...Is he?

...不是嗎？
