いくつかのQ&Aの動画を作ってきた

QnA videos,

いくつかのQ&Aの動画を作ってきた

so we asked you guys on Twitter

Twitterで質問を募集して

to send us your most burning questions

Twitterで質問を募集して

And I know that the number one question right now

一番みんなが聞きたいことが分かった

is: Martina what the F@#k is up with your look today?

マルティナ、今日の格好はなんなんだ？

I don't-- Listen, guys---

聞こえないわ

You are a hot mess! What is going on, girl?

何か変だぞ、どうした？

RuPaul, I'm sorry

ルポール、ごめんなさい

I wanted to have purple lips,

紫色の唇にしたかったんだけど

but then I put it on and I changed my mind

途中で気が変わっちゃって

because then I started to wear this really bright cute shirt,

明るい可愛い服を着てみたら

and I was like, "It doesn't match my lips,"

唇の色と全然合わないわって・・

but you can't take lipstain off because

でも口紅を落とすと

it leaves, like, a mucky, dirty--it looks like you ate, like, a chocolate cupcake

チョコレートカップケーキを食べたあとみたいになるから・・

SILENCE!

うるさーい！

Wait, let me finish--my hair!

まだ髪について話してないのに！

I've made up my mind Martina: But my hair!

[S] もう終わりだ [M] でも髪が！

It's time for you to lip-sync

決め台詞の時間だ

**FOR YOUR LIFE**

FOR YOUR LIFE！

The actual real number one question

一番今までで多かった質問なんだけど・・

that we wound up getting is

00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:39,320 「韓国と日本どちらか選ぶなら？」だ

basically, choose between Korea and Japan!

皆ありがとう！

Thanks a lot, guys!

一番簡単に荒れそうな質問ありがとう

Thanks for the super easy one that I'm sure is not going to piss off anybody with this answer,

00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:47,320 僕たちは長い時間これについて考えていて

Yeah.

日本に住んでほぼ１年になる

But we've thought long and hard about this

今までを振り返って全てのデータをまとめて・・

we've spent almost a full year here in Japan

簡単に、すぐに答えが出た

looked over all of the data that we've compiled

僕は韓国より、日本を選ぶだろう

and I could easily say very quickly,

待って！

I'd pick Japan over Korea.

待って！

Now wait!

怒りのコメントはやめて！ 説明させてくれ！

Wait!

僕たちがこれから理由を説明して

Angry commenters! Stop! Give me a chance to explain!

色々話すから

We're gonna talk about our reasonings here and then

まずは聞いてほしい

we're gonna give you our disclaimers afterwards,

動画を最後まで見て、もしそれでも怒っていたら

but please hear us out before you get angry

下のコメントで自由に書いてくれ

and if at the end of the video you're still upset with our

今年と去年は

answer, then please feel free to let us know in the comment section below.

私の体調が最悪だったけど・・

Yes. Now despite this year and last year being

ゆっくりゆっくり悪くなっていくわ

some of the worst years for my health,

それでも、この１年は一番幸せだったわ

slowly, slowly goin' downhill,

僕も一番幸せな１年だったよ

I can say this has been the happiest year of my life.

今年を振り返って

Happiest year of my life as well.

韓国にいた全ての年も振り返って

I've thought about this year,

カナダにいた全ての年も振り返って・・

all of the years that I've had in Korea,

今までの人生で一番最高の年だった

and all of the years that I can remember in Canada,

00:01:35,580 --> 00:01:37,580 自転車で二人でこんな感じで走ってるの

This, by far, has been the greatest year of my entire life.

00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:41,580 幸せでしょう！

Mhm. You know what I find funny?

幸せだよ

We often find ourselves coming home on our bicycles being like,

本当に幸せだよ！

Lala-Lala-lala

[M] 笑顔になるの [S] 最高だよ！

I'm happy for no reason!

何が幸せか説明させて、まずは

Martina: I'm just...happy Simon: I'm happy here!

最初のカテゴリー 「隣人と音」

Martina: I'm just happy.

日本に来る前は心配してた

56 00:01:45,580 --> 00:01:47,580 Martina: I just like smiling; smiling is the thing to do! Simon: Smiling is the best!

多くの人が僕たちに、日本に行くのはかなり難しいと言っていた

Allow us to explain what has made us happy. I'd like to begin with

日本人は非常に冷たくて引っ込み思案で

the first category, which I call: Neighbors and Sounds

僕たちは歓迎されないから

We were worried before we came to Japan.

苦しい生活になるだろうって

A lot of people told us that it is going to be very difficult for us here,

でも、来てみて周りをみてみると

that Japanese people are very cold and reserved

暖かい隣人にびっくりした

and they won't be very welcoming to us

一人じゃないのよ

and we're gonna have a tough time here.

例えば向かいの隣人は

But when we came here to our neighborhood,

帰るときによく会うけど、話すのが楽しいよ

I am amazed at how warm and loving our neighbors are.

左の隣人と右と隣人とも話すわ

And it wasn't just one neighbor.

ある一人の隣人が訪ねてきて

Like, our neighbor across the street,

夕食に誘ってくれたんだ

whenever we bike home and I see her there, I'm happy to speak with her.

僕たちは彼と一緒に夕食を食べた

Our neighbors to the left and to the right, we chat with..

びっくりしたし感動した

Actually, one of our other neighbors like, rang on our doorbell

なぜなら、韓国にいた全ての年は

and invited us out for dinner

韓国のいくつかの場所に住んでいたけど

and we went out for dinner with him

隣人と接触したことがなかった

and it was so amazing and touching because

皆冷たくて遠く感じた

in all of the years that we've been in Korea

ここみたいに暖かくはなかった

and all of the different places that we lived in Korea

隣人が暖かいことなんて期待してなかったけど

Did we ever have any contact with the neighbors?

ここが大好きだし、幸せだよ

All of them were very cold and distant

でも一戸建てのエリアに住んでるから

They weren't warm as they are here

もし日本でもアパートみたいなところだったら

I did not expect our neighborhood to be so warm and caring

前と同じだったかもしれない

and I love it here and it makes me so happy.

[S] そうだね [M] 隣人と話したりすることはなかったかも

Now I will say that it could definitely be because we're in an actual neighborhood

家に住むことができて本当によかった

and maybe if we moved to like an apartment in Japan

小さいけど自慢の家よ

we would experience the same thing.

クリスマスに家の周りを飾るのもワクワクしたわ

Simon: Possibly. Martina: Maybe it would be like, people don't wanna talk to you and stuff.

隣人が来て

It makes me feel immensely happy to come home,

英語は全然できないけどこんな感じで

I feel proud of my little house,

「おークリスマス！」

I'm excited to decorate the outside with Christmas lights!

私はとても興奮したの

My neighbors came over,

暖かくて素晴らしい気分になったわ

the neighbors right beside us that speak like, no English at all

ここは暖かいし、歓迎されてる気がする

and they're like, "Oh, Chrisamus!"

でも韓国では歓迎されてる気はしなかった

and I was like, super excited

それと、周りがすごい静かなんだ

so I'm having just, warm, wonderful feelings.

それがどれだけ僕たちにとって重要か知らなかった

I feel warm here. I feel welcome here,

でもここみたいな静かなとこに住んでみると・・

and I did not feel welcome in Korea.

目がさめることなく、一晩中眠れるんだ

And also, our neighborhood is very quiet.

韓国の朝は

and I can't emphasize enough how important this is for us

どこに住むかによらず

because what's great about having a quiet neighborhood like this

クラクションの音で起きたり

is that I can sleep an entire night without waking up. Martina: Yeah.

誰かの話し声や叫び声で起きてた

Pretty much every morning in Korea

終わらない音の弾幕のような感じよ

no matter where we lived

老人みたいなこと言ってるけど

we would wake up from honking of horns

大事なことなんだ

we would wake up from people like talking or yelling outside

いかに夜ぐっすり眠れるかってことは

It was like a never-ending barrage of sound.

そしてここはよく眠れる

This sounds like an old person thing to say,

ソウルを例えるとしたら

but I cannot emphasize enough

ニューヨークに住むのと似てるわね

how important it is to get a good night's sleep.

そうだね、良い例えだと思う

And I sleep so well here.

ニューヨークに行くと

I think the best way to describe living in Seoul

兄弟の家に泊まるんだけど

is basically living in New York City.

00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,400 喧嘩やクラクション、叫び声が多かったわ

Martina: I used to visit-- Simon: Right, I think that's a fair comparison.

ソウルはニューヨークみたいよ

I used to visit New York all the time

「眠らない街」ね

and then we stayed with our brother in law, he used to live in New York as well

ソウルはニューヨークより「眠らない街」と言える

Simon: Yeah.

もっと眠れないぞ！

And it was like, you heard fighting and screaming and honking,

そう、ジャッキーが来たとき

and like, people yelling, and--Seoul is like New York City.

（ニューヨークに住んでる親友）

Simon: Right. Martina: It is the city that doesn't sleep,

彼女は「眠らない街はニューヨークだと思ってたけど、ソウルの間違いね」って言ってたわ

I would say that Seoul "does-not-sleep" even more than New York Simon: Yeah!

その通り

You sleep even less!

だから老人みたいなことを言うけど・・

Martina: Yeah, when Jackie came to visit

僕は寝るのが好きなんだ！

(my best friend visited me, she lives in New York)

僕は「眠る街」に住みたいんだ！

Simon: Right. Martina: She said said like, "I thought New York was the place that didn't sleep, but I was wrong, it is totally Seoul."

[M] 私たちが若い頃は・・ [S] そう！

Simon: Right. Martina: I agree with that.

私たちが若い頃は気にならなかったんだけど

Simon: Yeah. Martina: So that is something that has grated on our 'old people' nerves

そう！もう僕たちは年寄りだ

I like to sleep!

00:04:29,420 --> 00:04:31,420 I wanna sleep inside

Martina: We're-- Simon: I wanna live in a city that sleeps!

a city that goes to bed!

*Old woman voice*: When we were younger-- Simon: *Laughing* When--yes!

At reasonable-hours-like-maybe-nine-or-ten-PM.

*Old woman voice*: When we were younger, it was okay!

And have a noise pollution rule!

Simon: Right! Now I'm old and $h!t,

You're goin' to sleep..

Simon: I don't wanna have--

何の歌か知らない・・

Martina *singing*: I wanna sleep inside Simon: I wanna snuggle up

[M] New York New Yorkよ

Martina *singing*: a city that goes to bed!

フランクシナトラの

Simon: That's it. Martina (spoken): At reasonable-hours-like-maybe-nine-or-ten-PM.

[M] なんてことなの！ [S] 何それ？

Martina *singing*: And have a noise pollution rule!

I wanna wake up in the city that doesn't sleep--

*crickets chirping* Martina *singing*: You're goin' to sleep..

それを適当に混ぜたの

*crickets chirping* Martina: cute fake snoring sound Simon: I don't know what song that is.

古い曲は知らないんだ

Martina: 'New York New York'? Simon: Okay.

ごめん

Martina: Frank Sinatra? Simon: Alright.

君が勝手に作った歌かと思った

Martina: Oh my god! Simon: What is this?

00:05:00,100 --> 00:05:01,880 何歌ってんだって

Martina *singing*: I wanna wake up in the city that doesn't sleep--

And be the king of the--

Martina (normal voice): And I twisted it around *sigh*

00:05:05,280 --> 00:05:07,560 歓迎してくれるのは隣人だけじゃない

I don't know old white people music. Martina: You don't-- *shattering glass*

韓国での経験で一番嫌だったのは

Sorry.

何回もこういうことがあった、たとえば

I really thought you were just making up a really $!t#y song.

コーヒーショップやスーパーや

Martina: *disbelieving laugh and exclamation* Simon: And it was really--

どこであろうと、僕たちを見て

That's like, what the hell are you singing?

こんな感じで怖がるんだ「オーノー！」

Martina *singing*: And be the king of the--

そして違う人を連れてきて

*Chimes*

僕たちの前に置いたりする

It's not just our neighbors that are welcoming.

また、韓国語で注文しようとすると

One of the things that really bothered me in my experiences in Korea is that

「分かりません」

there were many times that I would go into like,

僕の韓国語は日本語より全然出来るのにだ

coffee shops or stores or whatnot in Korea

日本ではそういうことは無かった

and whenever the people would see me,

歓迎されてないって感じたこともないし

they would be afraid like, "Oh! Oh no!"

誰かに怖がられてるって感じることもない

Or they would like, grab another person and

彼らは僕の酷い発音の日本語を分かってくれる

push them towards me.

これは本当にびっくりしたことよ

Or, if I would try to order something in Korean, they'd be like,

だって8年韓国にいて

"Ah, I don't understand!"

韓国語のリーディングを勉強して

And my Korean is significantly better than my Japanese,

スピーキングを勉強して・・・

and I have never felt that here in Japan.

それでレストランで韓国語のメニューしか無い時

I have never felt unwelcome,

メニューを見て店員を読んで

I have, like--Nobody was ever afraid of me,

注文を始めると・・

they understand my terrible pronunciation of Japanese.

店員はたぶん発音が面白かったんだろうけど

Martina: Which, by the way, I've found that really shocking. Simon: Mhm.

彼らはお互いに見合って「あはは！」って感じで

Simon: Yes! Martina: Because in eight years Simon: Yeah

でも英語でも会話できないでしょ

Martina: We learned to read Korean, Simon: Right!

でも日本では、私たちの日本語はめちゃくちゃだけど

Martina: we could speak Korean, Simon: Right!

本当に酷い

Martina: So we could go to a restaurant that had only Korean menus,

店員はこんな感じで「はい、はい、はい」

we could look it over, we could call them over Simon: Yeah.

それで去っていく。私は「なんでこの発音で分かるの？！」って

and then we would start ordering

まるで私は日本語が話せてるって思うくらい

and the people would literally--and were, they thought it was funny--

韓国では、行った店の多くでは

But they're with each other, they'd be like, "Haha-haha" Simon: Yeah.

汚いものになった気分だった

And I, I was like, "Okay, but we're not even speaking English." Simon: Uh-huh.

気味の悪いエイリアンになった気分

But in Japan, we butcher the language

日本では、そんなことは全くない

Oh, it's so bad.

韓国でのそれはすごい気分が悪かった

And people are like this: "Hai, hai, hai."

今は隣人だけじゃなく、色々なお店でも歓迎されてるように感じる

And they walk away. I'm like, "How did they understand my accent?!" Simon: Yeah!

00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,000

I'm like, it's like they just seem to understand that I'm speaking Japanese.

00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,080 そして今は仕事の環境がとてもいいわ

In Korea, there are many times that I go into stores

そして今は仕事の環境がとてもいいわ

and I felt like I had leprosy

韓国では仕事をする時は

I felt like I was like, a disgusting alien to a lot of people

経営者として色々やることがあった

And in Japan, I don't feel that at all.

経営者として色々やることがあった

In Korea, it really ate away at me,

経理をしたり

here, I feel welcomed, not just by my neighbors but by every store that I go to.

給料を払ったり・・

Yeah.

私たちのビジネスを運営するのにかなりストレスが多かった

*Chimes*

韓国でYoutuberとして生活するにあたって

So right now, I would say this is my favorite job situation

申請したり

that I'm in right now. Simon: Mhm!

申請したり

I'm enjoying this much more than

オフィスを借りて

being a boss back in Korea.

そことは別に家を借りないといけなくて

And I don't mean like, "Like a bosss," I mean like,

それらの書類の手続きは

literally like a boss, who has an accountant

すごい量の仕事だった

and has to pay people.

これは今まで話すことはなかったけど

It was very stressful to run our own business.

これは今まで話すことはなかったけど

For us to be full time YouTubers in Korea,

なぜなら誰も聞きたくないでしょう？ [S] そうだね

we had to apply to make a business,

でも本当にストレスが多かったの

and in order to have a business, we needed

皆の給料を払って

to have an office space, and we needed

会計士を雇って

to have a separate home

会計士とミーティングしてね

And there was all this paperwork

スタジオの家賃を払って

It was a lot of work.

メンテナンス費用を払って

And this is something that we

スタジオの備品を買ったりしてね

never really talked about with you guys, because

テーブルがもっといる！もっとスペースがいる！って

why should you have to hear this side? Simon: Right!

壊れたから買い直したり

But it was a lot of stress. Simon: Yeah!

それからようやく動画の計画をたてて

We had to pay people's salaries,

動画に出演して・・

we had to hire an accountant,

１日の半分経理のことなどでストレスがたまったまま

we had to meet with the accountant, Simon: Yeah.

00:07:17,500 --> 00:07:18,800 そして動画編集をするの

We had to pay our rent in our studio,

つまり、余分な仕事が多すぎる

we had to pay our maintenance fees, we had to

つまり、余分な仕事が多すぎる

buy stuff for the studio as our staff started to grow. Simon: Right!

今までこうやってきて

We needed more tables, we needed more space Simon: Yeah!

クリエイティブな仕事と経営者の仕事を一緒にやるのはとても大変だった

This wore out, that happened! Simon: Uh-huh.

クリエイティブな仕事と経営者の仕事を一緒にやるのはとても大変だった

And on top of all that, we're trying to plan videos,

そして、本当にストレスがたまった

be in the video, Simon: Right!

韓国で外国人がビジネスをするには

be not-stressed-out after you came back from the accountant for like, half a day

移民として気をつけなければならない

Simon: Yup.

移民として気をつけなければならない

And then we'd edit the video. Simon: Yeah.

ある日、移民局が来て

So it was like, a lot of extra work

僕たちの書類を全て見せろと言われた

that was going into it, and I think the

なぜなら誰かが通報したから

conclusion that we came to was that

違法なビジネスをしてると通報されたらしい

it's quite hard to be a boss and Simon: Right.

僕たちの動画で気に入らないことがあったようだ

a creative person at the same time. Simon: Exactly.

僕たちの動画で気に入らないことがあったようだ

On top of that, it was really stressful

そして国から追い出そうとしたみたい

to be a foreigner running a business in Korea

K-POPのせいで！

because of immigration.

K-POPのせいで、誰かが

And there were actually moments in which immigration

違法だと移民局に通報したの
