On Friday night after an exhausting week, I had the Sashiko Live Streaming on impulse. Well, I just wanted to check if the new lighting system I invested would work (which worked great!). I am sorry for those who expected me to talk in English. Please understand that English is my second language, and it’s not that easy to keep talking for a while without specific topics. When I have a topic, I can elaborate it from there… which taught me that I would need to prepare for the Live Streaming more carefully before I start. (but too much preparation means less Live Streaming…big dilemma).

I believe the Live Streaming last night was fun even if you do not understand Japanese. It was kind of new. I introduced the latest Sashiko DIY Kit to make Furoshiki. I will talk about it more in English in the next Live Streaming.

To be honest, I do not like repeating the same question. However, that ruins the purpose of “getting new audiences” on Live Streaming. When I receive the same question (especially those about “techniques”), I get discouraged from talking in English. Umm. A few solutions here. (1) I change my mindset completely and then offer the Live Streaming as a “welcome” time to new people (2) Set up the Zoom and then upload it on Youtube later… Would you be interested in “Zoom Live Stitching” where I may be able to control the question & topics? (It is different from Sashiko Gathering I have been offering, but one way to share the Sashiko we practice).

昨晩は突然の配信、失礼しました（Youtubeにて）。朝が早いので夜は早くに寝るのですが、眠いのにも関わらず配信をしてしましました。「照明セットを購入したので、その確認を……」というのが建前です。それでもなんとか良い配信になったのではないかなと思っています。途中、名言が生まれたような気もするし（笑）

日英両言語で行いますとは書いてあるのですが、英語だと同じ質問ばかりが飛んでくるので、どうしてもやる気がなくなってしまいます。良い質問やリクエストがあると、英語でもどれだけでも話は膨らませられるのですが、何もない状況で「英語で！」とお願いされても嫌気がさしてしまうのが本音です。でも、そうも言ってられないので、なんとか上手に多くの方に楽しんで頂ける配信を考えていきたいと思います。配信始めて3年目。漸く自己満足の世界から少しだけ足を踏み出せそうです。まだ躊躇ってますけどね。
