and you replied with the #askSharla. So I'm going to look them up right now.

I got quite a few questions but I'm gonna try and answer,

not all of them, I definitely can't answer all of them, but I'll answer as many as possible,

so if you guys would like to participate in the next question and answer, you didn't

get a chance to this time, go follow me on twitter because that's how I always ask

for questions. All right let's get started.

When will you do a fan mail video? I'm actually

waiting for all of my fan mail to be sent to me. I have a gigantic pile of it

growing in my room but this will be my last mail video for a while because my

p.o box is now closed.

So yeah. I'm waiting for the last packages to arrive so that I can make

sure I include everything in the video, and then I will do it. So I can't really tell

you guys when that will be but ASAP, I promise.

When will you come to Germany? I already went to Germany. It was really

really fun. Yeah I was in Germany for three days and it was amazing. If you

haven't seen the vlogs of that yet, I will link them right here.

Go check them out, I had an amazing time. I went together with Memei and even though it

was such a short trip,

we just had an amazing experience. Great people, great food, great architecture.

Germany is gorgeous, man.

So yeah go check out those videos. Ok i thought this question was really interesting.

It's a long question so I'm just going to kind of give you the gist of what it says.

but if you have to start your life over from when you first came to live in Japan,

you can only choose one of these perks, which would it be? 1) You can have Maro with you;

2) You can start with the number of subs you have right now;

3) start with your in real life friends that you have now in Japan,

both YouTube and daily life or 4) start with your hubby and wedding planned;

5) start with your accumulated goods items, furniture, clothing, etc.

I wouldn't want to start with the number of subs i have for sure, because i really

enjoyed all the different feelings of the community, like when I had a really

small sub count it was a totally different feeling than it is now.

I could reply to all the comments and i had memorized

everybody's names and it was just a completely different experience and I

wouldn't trade that for anything so I definitely wouldn't want to start with

the number of subs that I have. It would definitely be a choice between starting

with my friends or starting with my husband.

Ahhh... I can't choose both want to choose both because it would be really fun to

like experience all the things that I experienced up until now but with them

that would be so cool. I'm using both, I don't want to pick one. Favorite Japanese

girls/boys names? Rei is my favorite name overall, my favorite japanese name.

I think it would suit anybody, it's just really cool name all around, I love it.

Probably because i was a really big fan of Evangelion, like back in the day in high school,

so that's like always been a name that I wanted to name my kid. [On screen: #weeb4lyfe]

What's the funniest thing Maro has done now? Maro is always doing funny things.

Oh my god, man. One of my favorite things is how he growls every time somebody

rings the doorbell.

I swear he's half dog or all dog.

He's such a dog, like his personality is so dog and not cat, it's really weird.

I think the funniest thing he's ever done would probably be this.

I just found him like that in the morning one day.

Like what? I don't even know.

For a first time visitor of Japan, which is the best region to visit? I heard that the north of Japan is amazing.

Yes I always recommend the north of Japan to people.

It's beautiful. There are less people, so less crowded.

The weather is slightly more tolerable in the summer, if you here in the summers,

because it's a slightly cooler up there, but like 1) is because it's so

beautiful, there are so many nice places to visit. I have a playlist of northern

Japan spots to visit, so maybe check that out if you do decide to go there.

I prefer it to Tokyo but it all depends on like what kind of experience you want

to have. If you want to have a very like pop culture experience, then of course

Tokyo is better cuz you know Harajuku and Shibuya. But if you want more like a

traditional, outdoorsy type of experience, then definitely Tohoku, northern Japan.

Which food can you not do without?

Mine's avocado.

I love avocados, but more than avocados, I love broccoli and tofu. Picking one is

really hard, I like them together. If I had to pick one it would probably be broccoli.

What's your favorite Pokemon?

i like Paras, Jolteon and Raichu. It's really hard for me to pick an ultimate

favorite. Jolteon is pretty darn cute.

Oh I'm leaning towards Jolteon for an ultimate favorite, but Paras is

pretty awesome too. It's so hard to choose. I don't know man.

All three of them! Thoughts on the LGBTQ+ community? That's such a general question.

My thoughts?

The first thing that comes to mind is that it's a really amazing community of

supportive people that are proud to be themselves. And every time I attend like

an LGBTQ+ event, like say pride parade or like I go to a gay club,

I always had such an amazing time. Everyone is so happy and I just love it. I

love being like a part of that community, even though I'm not a part of it myself.

But I love attending events and just giving my support wherever I can because

yeah I think it's a really lovely community.

How do you like to spend your alone time, if you manage to get any? I have lots of

alone time.

My fiancé is always at work. He gets home at about 11pm on average, so I have

lots of alone time. If you meant like how do I spend my free time, I like to spend

it watching horror movies,

because I love horror movies or just like wasting time on Netflix because i like

to relax by watching like some type of movie or drama or something like that,

but in general,

yeah I'm like always working on something or playing with Maro.

Aww Maro came in. Maro, you want to join the video?

Hey that's a perfect spot. They can see you too. Maro, say hi or go behind me,

Even better. What are you doing? You...Oh you like that pillow better. Ever since I

bought these pillows,

he's been so happy. Yes lick yourself, that's great. Okay I'm just gonna cover

him. How did you get over the fear of using Japanese, for example, ordering food in a restaurant?

I get so nervous. I can totally relate with that.

Ummm...with Japanese I feel like I've never really been nervous

with it just because from the start I had lots of people to practice with.

However with other languages like Korean I kind of feel nervous about using it,

because I'm not like a hundred percent confident in my pronunciation and I feel

like I'm not going to make any sense.

So I totally understand if you feel that way about your Japanese. Honestly I think

if you can make some Japanese friends and talk with them and practice, that's

the best way because if you make nice friends,

you're having a conversation with them you're Japanese can be like way off and

they're not going to make fun of you or you know, they're going to help you out

and they're going to correct you and you're gonna learn from that and then I

feel like you'll be more confident out in public when you have to talk to

people you don't know personally. That's really the only advice I can give myself

because that's how I did it really. I had tons of conversation partners in

university that I practiced Japanese with and I...all my part time jobs, I

interacted with Japanese people,

the customers. And I just got used to it from practice. It's just all practice

Just go for it. Like, I really really doubt that you're going to get anybody that's

going to laugh at your Japanese or like laughing your pronunciation.

You don't need to worry about that here. Everyone's going to be like super

impressed that you can speak any Japanese at all, so just go for it.

How are the wedding plans coming?

They're not. God, I'm so bad at planning stuff. I've been so busy I...Like we haven't

had time to sit down and discuss anything.

We were just saying the other day that, [Annotation: Cat's hair everywhere D;]

I think it would be best to just have something small in Canada.

Even though we both want to do something like bigger as well as like a small

family get-together in Canada but... I don't know man. I'm so busy,

he's so busy, we just don't have time to sit down and discuss it. So nothing has

changed since the last time I mentioned it.

Ugh...why wedding so difficult? What are some of your hobbies besides youtube and filming?

I like watching movies. I really like watching horror movies.

I used to really like drawing neopets. But i haven't had time to recently, but I

feel like if I had more time I would really want to get into drawing again.

And i just got this new iPad. I invested in this because my laptop is packing it in

and I kind of wanted something else that I could do work on, like thumbnails and

tweets and all that kind of stuff. I figured I do that on the iPad and kind

of save my Mac for work but...Yeah I thought it would be really cool if I

could start like practicing digital art again on this or something, so...we'll see

if I can find any time but yeah I really like drawing in art and all that stuff.

If you have to describe what the living in Japan is like with three Japanese

words, what would it be?

This is a very unique question, I like this one.

'Benri' is the first one that comes to mind and it's also the one Japanese

word that I feel like my pronunciation is the weirdest because it's really hard

to do the 'en' sound and then the 'ri', the 're', the 'r', the 'r' and 'l' mixture, sound after

one another. But...yeah, 'Benri', convenient. Living here is ridiculously convenient.

And I love that about it. Japanese people are insanely busy with their work lives

so, to make up for that, there are lots of really cool things that are super

convenient. A lot more convenient than it would be in another

country just because the majority of people don't have time to do anything

here. So convenience stores are amazing, if you need anything, they will sell it there.

The train system is always on time and when it's not on time there'll be

announcements telling you exactly why it's late and everything.

The vending machines everywhere outside. Just lots of little things that add up

to feeling like it's really convenient to live here. Look, like, if I want something,

it's just so easy to be able to go out and get it at any time.

This isn't really like an adjective but i would say 'Bunka' because there's so much

culture here, there's so much going on. There's such a history here.

So many cool festivals to experience and like old places in Japan to visit and

learn about.

and I just really love all the cultural stuff going on in Japan, it's really

interesting for me, just because it's so different than

Canadian culture. So I really like that. I would say 'isogashi'; busy. Living in Japan

is very busy, if you live in the city anyways.

Now that I've moved out to the countryside, I feel

a little more relaxed. I'm still kind of getting used to this place but living in

Tokyo is crazy man. I don't think I ever want to go back there. It was just

everybody's in a rush.

Everybody's working like until 11pm and it's just really really busy and I just

kind of get that feeling about Japan in general but again, the countryside is a

lot more relaxed so I'm enjoying it.

These are the best two questions ever.

What would you do for morning you woke up and realized you could talk to cats?

And then she followed up with, 'what would be the first thing you ask Maro if

you could speak to cats?'

Umm...Wow, that's so hard...I would probably ask him if he likes his toys and he

likes his food?

Because I'm always like worried that he doesn't actually like them so I always buying him

different things to try.

Like I would just like to get his opinion on things because i am

responsible for everything about him but I don't know if he's enjoying himself or

not so I would just ask him if you like these new scratching post or if you want

something different.

That's what I would do. Favorite k-pop song? Heaven,

by Big Bang. Which japanese actor / actress would you like to work with? Ummm...

Tananobu Asano, obviously.

I'm in love with him. And he's a really freaking amazing actor and it

would just be such an honor to work with him. That would be so cool. I got to meet

his dad on the set of one of the movies I was working on. It was just so surreal, like,

[Whispers in excited voice] 'Oh my god, his dad is behind me right now!'

I wanted to like ask him questions about his son but I don't want to be creepy

so I didn't but yes, Tananobu Asano.

Fun fact: If you didn't know, but he named my hamster. Used to own
