welcome to Kevin's English Room podcast
alright
hello
so you had a question?
yeah
you wanted to ask me?
yes
so um
um
um
you know I
during the shōgatsu
yes
and the nemetsu nenshi
I did nothing
okay
I did nothing at all
okay
and um
and I heard that story of like being
you know
shōgakusei ni kikimashita shōrai naritai shokugyou wa nan desu ka? ranking
and still
youtuber is kind of top ranked one
mm-hmm
right
and there are so many kids children who wish to be youtuber
wants to be youtuber in the future
mm-hmm
um
so my question is do you
so what if um
for example like shōgaku ni nensei kid come to you and
and um
and can I be youtuber?
and what would be your answer?
or like
how do you reply to them?
oh wow
nice
yeah
the way I would reply it
yeah
is
that's awesome
you should do it
that's great
like
do it
yeah
at the same time I would also respond with like
if you're not good you're not going to be able to eat
like if you're not good then you're not gonna
it's not going to work out for you so
yeah
you should try and then
and then maybe change a little bit
you struggle a little bit
and then consider if you want to continue or not
but you should try
like if you're interested you should do it
and then if it doesn't work out
well then too bad
it's not for you then
you should change a different job
that's how I would answer
that's your reply
yeah
very um
genjitsuki
yeah
yeah
okay
but I'm very optimistic though
on the view of like the
the kids wanting to do something
like it doesn't matter if it's a youtuber
or like a gamer
pro gamer
yeah
or like football player
football player
yaku senshu
I think that they should really go for it
I think they should
I would root for them
I would cheer
I would support them in every way I can
yeah
but ultimately if they don't have the skills
well then that's too fucking bad
yeah
you're not good
you're not good enough to be in that game
so that's your skill
too bad
like
yeah
you can train yourself
yeah
right
and if you have the energy to be better
that's good
you should do that
you should train yourself to be better
you should use your brain
you should use your body to be better
03:00
and win the game
but ultimately
it's a merit game
yeah
it's a battle
it's
who wins the market right
so like if you're not good enough
you're gonna lose
well that's too bad
it's on you
that's your fault
yeah
take the loss
yeah
so responsible is on you
yeah
is also one side
yeah
you want to tell them
but at the same time
you can do anything you'd like
yeah
like that's up to you
if you're interested go for it
yeah
but you got to take the loss
yeah
yeah
that's that's that's my
that's always been my answer
okay
well that's a great answer
yeah
love that
yeah
yeah
you really like encourage them
but at the same time really
kind of realistic at the same time
yeah yeah yeah yeah
yeah
what would be your
your answer
if someone asks you that
oh
or like why did you decide to ask me that
no I just
where did that come from
I just thought about that
oh got it
you know during the shogatsu season
I you know as I did nothing
so many things I
yeah
was thinking about
and one thing was just about
the future of this
this you know
YouTube
or like YouTube
oh right
because I was kind of thinking about
when you know it's not
we all know it's not forever thing
so I was kind of planning for this year
2023
and just go a bit further
and then wait
how long can I do this as a job
maybe you know
you know
so
right
that's that
and you know the start point
right right right
yeah
so I didn't have answer to that question
but yeah
yeah that's quite same like you
try it
try it enjoy it
and see what's gonna be happening
yeah
yeah
just try it
is what I would say
yeah
in terms of your original thought of like
what what's the YouTube
yeah
YouTuber industry gonna be like
yeah
my take is that
YouTube is just a platform that's popular
right
it's just like Twitter that was popular
like Facebook that was popular several years ago
but now not as popular right
yeah
maybe back then it could have been a Facebook
celebrity right
that the kids wanted to be
it's just now that YouTube is just a platform
that's that's just popular right now
so it's want to be that
yeah
well like I feel like there's always will be
06:00
in terms of internet era
in terms of like internet era
there's always gonna be a platform that would
that can focus on individuals
and yeah the ability to create content
yeah
individually without having the power of
like the TVs and the medias
I feel like there's
even if it's not YouTube there's always gonna be
some sort of channel
yeah
platform
the social media users can turn and tune into
and that's gonna be the center of attention
yeah
and the kids may want to be like them
yeah
that's certain
but I don't know what would happen after the internet era
of like what what about like the VR era
or like the what
Metaverse
the metaverse era right
there's probably gonna be some sort of like different
channels in that
yeah
field right
so I feel like that
the kids would probably
you know be
admired
yeah
admired just whatever is
in pop culture
right
and is gaining attention
and I think
I feel like that's always been like that
like
yeah
when I whenever I feel like oh my god kids
what are you youtubers now
wow I got so unrealistic and I feel like
well I feel like they haven't changed from the beginning
like they always wanted to be something that was popular
right right
sports senshu is a popularity game
right
because media focused on sports
right that's why the
the the masses
right
attention
got attention and kids wanted to be in that center of attention
it's just it's a popularity game
yeah yeah yeah
it's always been like that I think
yeah right you got a point
yeah
true so um right maybe um thinking about that
if like four year
boy saying I want to be a youtuber in the future
when I turn into 20 I want to be a youtuber then
wait that
might not be yet the best idea
mm-hmm
like after 16 years then right things will be changed
right YouTube isn't might not be popular anymore
yeah yeah so um
but still try it that worth it
but um more important thing is
is like like that like the mechanics
like that you know
like those not like the outer side like YouTube or like
TV or like not those but inside
or like the other side I have to say like
as you told said always the
platform isn't that important right
so those understanding your whole system
09:03
just like you said is is way more important
yeah yeah
so I want to if I had kid then I would teach them like that
yeah yeah yeah
or you can try it of course but yeah yeah
I feel like what's different from like a different color that I see in the kids wanting to be a youtuber
how's that's different from the wanting to be from like for example like a professional soccer player
yeah is like if you want to be a youtuber like you can be in the game tomorrow
yeah you can set up your own YouTube channel
yeah age doesn't matter like how you look doesn't matter right right
athleticism doesn't matter it just you can be in the game
and just test yourself right whereas if you want to be a soccer player like you have to be accepted
yeah by a certain yeah coach yeah certain board member right
we want this player now you're a professional yeah like they don't have it's just it's a complete self fighting game
yeah you don't have to be accepted by anyone it's just the markets there just you're free to join right now yeah yeah
so I think that's that's another like different factor that I see and like people wanting to be a youtuber that like
first if you want to if you want to be it it's open for you right now
yeah like right yeah sure you can start it just now from now yeah yeah yeah right sure
okay well that I think that was really good advice to all the like kids who want to be a youtuber
or some kind of like those influencers yeah gamers or yeah those recent yeah
so don't yeah the important thing is just like you said platform isn't that important
true yeah it's true right okay great alrighty thank you thanks listening guys bye bye
