I'm sure some of you guys were worried about us

I'm sure some of you guys were worried about us 私達が活動を再開するのか

wondering if we were coming back or not. 心配してくださった方もいたと思います。

But here we are. お待たせしました。

Alright guys, thank you guys so much for watching! 皆さん ご視聴ありがとうございました！

we returned to Japan  from Malaysiain early April

The last little bit, I wanna share with you in English. 最後は、少し英語でお話ししようと思います。

and we received lots of criticism  on our decision to do so.

It's a difficult time for everyone all around the world. 世界中の誰にとっても大変な時期です。

Obviously, our problems and the size of our problems もちろん、悩み•問題やその大きさは

and it has taken me a while to digest it all.

vary among all of us. 人それぞれ違いますが

Today, I wanted to let you know that  we'll be uploading videos again

But I think the one thing that we can agree on 共通していることは

but also share with you  what I've been feeling the last 4 months.

is the importance of staying positive and being creative. 前向きでクリエイティブでいる大切さ。

In June, I entered my 10th year on YouTube.

I think it's hard to see 今は この先何が起こるか

I've been doing this for quite some time,

what the future holds for us 分からない事だらけだと思います。

but it's my first time experiencing anything like this

with so many uncertainties right now. 分からない事だらけだと思います。

and I honestly didn't know  how to deal with it or respond to it.

But when you can't see the light 暗いトンネルの先に希望が見えない時は

at the end of the tunnel, 暗いトンネルの先に希望が見えない時は

think deeply about what we do  as creators in the public eye

you have to create one yourself 自分自身で希望を見出して

having a lifestyle with no clear line between our professional and personal life.

and light your way through the darkness. 暗い中、明かりを灯すしかありません。

We realize there are changes we need to make.

I know that no matter what I say, 何を言っても全員の方を

I can't make everyone happy 満足させることはできませんし、

our decision to come back to Japan at that time was not an easy one to make.

and there are always going to be varying opinions, 様々な意見があることは当たり前です。

and we discussed it thoroughly as a family.

so all I can really do is to trust myself なので、自分にできることは自分を信じて

We were in lockdown for almost a month in Malaysia,

and work towards the things that I believe in. 自分が信じることに向かっていくこと。

and that really is your light at the end of the tunnel.  それこそが辛い時期の先にある希望

What you believe in. 自分の信じていることが。

Luckily, there weren't many people  in either of the airports

In a time when you are exposed to 沢山の意見や声が聞こえるこの時代だからこそ

and we were able to maintain  social distance throughout out trip.

so many different opinions 沢山の意見や声が聞こえるこの時代だからこそ

But regardless, we wore our face shields  and put on our windbreakers/rain jackets at the airport,

and so many voices, 沢山の意見や声が聞こえるこの時代だからこそ

it's so important to have your own voice しっかりと自分の考えを持って

and trust that voice and move yourself forward. 貫いて進んでいくことが大切です。

After getting tested for COVID-19 at Narita Airport,

Alright guys, thank you so much for watching! 見てくださってありがとうございました！

we avoided public transportation, and rented a car to get back home.

So sorry that I haven't been able to SNSも更新できず

We received our test results via email. We tested negative.

update you on my socials 本当にごめんなさい。

And we spent the 2 week quarantine period at home.

and I know a lot of you were worried. 心配してくださった方々も沢山いましたよね

We made sure to follow the rules  and did all that we could to be safe

But we are back でも戻って来ました！

but as COVID-19 was starting to become serious in Japan

and we're ready to start uploading videos 再び動画を投稿したいと思います。

for you guys again. 再び動画を投稿したいと思います。

We will have a new video coming out for you very soon. 近々 新しい動画もアップしますね！

it was hard to take in the opinions of tens of thousands of people.

Thank you guys so much for watching ご視聴ありがとうございました

Some of the comments included things like

and I will see you guys again soon. また動画でお会いしましょう。

Don't you bring the virus here! People are dying because of you!

comments that made us feel like criminals.

Others told us to die, that they'd kill us,  that we should be careful when we're out at night

Some creators made hurtful videos about us.

Some people started making things up about us.

Attacking us with accusations with no grounds whatsoever.

I honestly didn't know how to go about sorting out my feelings,

but as I was battling all of my emotions, I came across this quote.

Open-minded people don't care to be right.

I can't just keep defending what I think is right

but need to try to understand where people are coming from.

there were people who were  genuinely worried about us

suggesting we stay in Malaysia for our own safety.

Because it was such a hard decision for us

I'm sorry that we didn't have  the emotional capacity at the time

to try to understand your situation  or your feelings

or to try to consider why  some of you might have said what you said.

I think that we came off as  only caring about ourselves

and we feel terrible if we made any of you feel that way.

It was hard confronting  all the different opinions we received

but it also made us realize the things that we need to work on going forth.

We will be going back to our regular uploads starting with the next video.

but we've decided to turn off  the comment section for the time being.

It's because of your supportive comments that I've come this far on YouTube

and because of your feedback that I've been able to grow as a creator.

but because of this incident  we've been receiving lots of hate

and are being attacked for things we haven't even done.

It was really hard to read some of the comments

I couldn't get myself to open my socials,

I think these comments may have made some of you Chikatomos feel upset as well.

Furthermore, viewers began attacking each other

and it was no longer people expressing opinions, but expressing hate.

it's not safe nor healthy. and we felt we needed to do something about it.

so we've decided to close the comment section.

But that doesn't mean I don't want to hear from you!

Please send us your messages via the form linked in the description.

It's not as easy as commenting on YouTube

but I hope to continue hearing from you there!
