It’s not as easy as it looks, but it’s not impossible

In Japanese, when you ask someone to do something and they don’t want to do it, nine times out of ten they say ‘that sounds difficult’ instead of giving you a straight up no. When you’re used to it, it’s fine, although it does get annoying. Especially when I point out that difficult and impossible are not the same thing. That’s when you get a straight no.

Well, I thought making a video would be difficult, but I knew it wouldn’t be impossible. So I made it. In terms of editing, it’s not very good, I don’t know how to get royalty free music so I missed that part, and the production still wasn’t that good. There’s only so much good editing can do. Either way, I knew it wasn’t impossible, and I made it. Now I just have to do the same thing again and again and again...

Here’s the video 🙂
