Shogo is a father to 3 children and a husband and has multiple channels and interprets and teaches Japanese and studies martial arts and traditional arts too. He is a kind of superman 😮 Please take it easy Shogo san🤗
It truly is the most Japanese thing to want to make an apology and explanation video for being busy as a proud father of 3 children, an expert in several astounding fields and being a amazing interpreter. Take all the time you need Shogo-San! All of your content is amazing no matter how long or short
You may not finish the minor tasks, but you have completed the most important one to your child: You have survived until this moment. Your very existence is a source of hope for future possibilities for your child! In place of your child (as well as being a complete stranger!) thankyou so very much for surviving, and thankyou for continuing to choose to do so!
@@LightHalcyon I'm VERY glad to hear/read it. May you always agree with what you've typed! And once again, thankyou for continuing to choose this choice. May you (and the universe etc!) choose to be well during the choice, and may that wellness increase/improve, and be contagious to all your loved ones! (Sickness can be contagious, so why can't wellness?!).
We have a saying here in America, "Family comes first, second, and third." Your videos are already extremely helpful to people that want to learn more about Japan as well as visiting. My wife and I just got back from our honeymoon in Japan and it's thanks to your tireless efforts that we were able to both enjoy ourselves as well as adapt to the many different customs in Japan. I know I and many others will still be here when April comes, so have no fear! Enjoy the time you have with your family, because they're so much more important than a RUclips channel!
STRONGLY AGREE w/ Kado51393 100%. Family is 1st, 2nd and 3rd. You don't need to worry about us, just concentrate on your family and your health. We are strong, we will do fine until April comes and if you need extra time, so what, take as much as time you need. We will look forward to see you in YTb when you are ready, like a reunion w/ an old friend. Blessings to you, wife and kids. Mery Kurisumasu Yoi Otoshi o Omukae Kudasai 🙂🙂
for those who are worried if they are quitting, actually they will just be taking a hiatus to take care of their children for the time being (especially their two younger ones!), and plan to continue making videos by April 2024 when their second daughter can go to preschool! ( ╹▽╹ )
6 months is no time for us viewers, but A LOT for your babies! So glad you have the option of prioritizing your children in this stage! We'll still be here when you’re ready. ❤ 頑張ってね！
You cannot blame Shogo nor Harumi for not making videos like before since they are family now, and they have family to cherish... May Shogo and his family have their family into good fruition...
honestly, there is no need to apologize, shogo. life happens, and we understand that there are things in your lives that take priority over this channel, and that's perfectly fine.
Just to give ahead up before your video. You don't need to apologize. Your health issues isn't something for the avarege joe, the fact you have the strength to keep going is amazing. Don't hurry, just fight!
You may be our Japanese big brother on RUclips but we understand you’re still a real life husband, father, and man with your own priorities and goals offline. Don’t worry, we’ll always be here watching your updates and videos no matter how much or how little you’re posting! 💕💕💕
Don't worry about the number of videos , Shogo. Take all the time you need to rest. Your kids are important. One thing to remember is that even if you want your kids will grow out of any stage.
Take all the time in the world, Shogo-san. Your and Harumi’s health, as well as your 3 kid’s well-beings are one of your main priorities, alongside your careers outside LAS. And don’t worry about us your subscribers, as I’m pretty sure we’re not going anywhere, I’M not going anywhere, we’ll be waiting for you come April of next year!
Take all the time you need, I don't want y'all getting more sick! If you'd like a simple Shorts idea, if you don't want to completely go on hiatus/silent for this channel - you could just talk about Japanese kotowaza, kan'yōku, or yojijukugo now and then. 20 seconds to say the voiceover about it's meaning with simple background pictures. You'd still be sharing small bits about Japanese language and culture through terms like 「小春日和」or 「狐の嫁入り」:) It could an easy compromise possibly.
Agreed, but could you do a 'video' as a short because for some reason I can't load shorts on my laptop. If it does for some reason a short does load and play, it is mostly by accident. If it wasn't by accident, then I probably have a super high chance at winning the lottery and should purchase a ticket if it wasn't so late at night!
Don't stress yourself out by not being able to make content for Let's Ask Shogo, take care of your family first and get some rest. I'm sure things will be a lot easier when all three of your children are in school. In the meantime I have been enjoying your videos with Seki-sensei.
I understand what you are going through. I have six children in total. I have been married twice. We had four children together. The youngest and last is three and half. He gets into everything and climbs on everything. His sleep habit is off to where he takes naps in the afternoon but will sleep about two hours at night then wakes up until 4 to 6 am. Children are a gift and a blessing. I would not change anything.
You can change that child's sleep habit. Plan an activity away from home when the kid usually tries to sleep. Like a visit to the Mall's free play area, etc. Prevent the kid from sleeping. It will take about a week of consistency. When I was a young teacher I was a nanny for 2 years. Problem 1: a 9 month old baby the parents rocked and cajoled to sleep from 9pm to midnight! 🤯😱, Problem #2: 3 year old sibling allowed to fall into daytime sleeping habit for many hours. I fixed both in 1 week. Young children need a strict eating/sleeping/play schedule.
I enjoyed your show and your insights so I wouldn’t want to see this show end. Having said that, real life comes first and I think you are not in any obligation to anything. If “let’s ask Shogo” must end or at least be put in indefinite hiatus, then that must be. We have no say on this and you age in no obligation to anything. Best wishes Shogo sensei.
I want to second several folks who have already commented more eloquently: There is no need to apologize! You sound like wonderful parents doing what is best for your family - and family always comes first. We appreciate you and we’ll be here when you are able to post again. ❤
As a father, teacher, and martial artist, I must say that I understand and you are doing what's best for your family. We'll wait. You go ahead and work so that your family is integrated and well-attended. Greetings from El Salvador!
I love your content Shogo, but your life, your health and your family must come first. Take what time you need. As a new mom, hearing you talk about this, I probably will have to do the same and listening to you voice your concerns is cathartic to me. So much is running through my head right now
I think anyone will understand that parents of 3 young children have very busy lives and have a lot of stress to deal with. You both seem to be working as hard as you can to provide content and videos whenever and wherever you can. I think I speak for most of your viewers when I say that you can take as much time as you want. We all want the best for you and your family, take good care of them and yourself, that ALWAYS comes first.
I cannot thank 😂you and Harumi enough for all the videos you already postet. And of course to all other people, who made an appearance in your videos. I can totally understand, that your time with the family is more precious, than posting videos!!!! Please, stay this friendly and natural, that I feel when watching you videos. Take your time! 🥰
Shogo we all feel the energy of all the attention kids demand. Please don’t apologize if your attention is to get your family in a place where you feel they are set. We love your content and I appreciate your martial arts content (I am a student of aikido) we thank you for your dedication.
Don’t be sorry Shogo! Many of us feel uplifted by your success and want to see you prosper. And prospering means enjoying the fruits of your labor and taking care of yourself. Hopefully I’ll have time to come to Japan one day and I know what channel I’d look at first for planning a trip! Congratulations on the family, the business, and the channels. I’d love to see something like this from someone in Mongolia one day.
Harumi's graphic design work is inspirational to me. I started making thumbnails and video editing for RUclips, so I took notice of that part, and I'm glad she has an important part in your productions.
Take all the time you need, Shogo-san and Harumi-san. I can only imagine how tiring it is to be taking care of three kids under five (iirc Hinata is not five yet) on top of everything else you have going on. We'll be here whenever you're ready to come back, and in the meantime we have your content over on Let's Ask Seki Sensei to enjoy 😊
I'll still be here when you start making content in April. I'm not surprised that you ended up with way more than one could take on this year. Take care of yourself.
I'm so eager to see you both again, and know you're okay. I kept thinking I'd been unsubscribed by youtube somehow, but I do still see Seki-sensei videos, so I know you're hard at work. Please do your best to take care of your family and each other, love you guys! 💌
Shogo & Harumi, thank you for the update! I had suspected as much that you guys have been spread thin with 3 kids (not to mention the downsizing of the LAS team around the same time last year). Take all the time you guys need to take care of yourselves & each other. I, for one, will be here whenever you guys return!
I can't fathom how a single video could have conveyed family values, passion and not to mention professional eloquence. Freakin admirable. As someone who just became a father a few months ago, I empathize... And will hold firm about having reasonable years before having my 2nd child. 😁
You're doing the right thing, prioritizing your family and your health. That comes first! I have missed this channel, but you have a lot of videos that I haven't watched yet, so I'll work on getting caught up while this channel is on hiatus. Take care of yourselves!
Your circumstances are understandable. I struggle with 2 children (1 deceased), so how you manage 3 plus RUclips is beyond my comprehension. Your bravery is commendable, and we believe in your resolve that you’ll both come back stronger. We wish you well in all your endeavors and look forward to your next content. Kind regards Chris
I only watch Sensei channel, but sometimes I binge on this one. Supremely greatful we get these videos because I don't speak Japanese and never would've known about any of this unless someone made videos. Thank you!
Shogo i'll always enjoy your videos no matter how often you upload! and even if you move on to other things, you have so many wonderful things that you & your family are doing and can do! don't feel bad for having to make changes or for taking better care of yourself :) and of course that goes for Harumi too! love you both ❤️❤️❤️
it makes perfect sense to take a break and make sure that you're there for your kids 💖 i think it's wonderful and very responsible. you clearly love your family so much 🥰
It’s understandable, sounds like ordinary shifting in the work/life-balance, subscribed to your other channel and sticking with ya. Congratulations to your family, and for blessed new things happening, definitely get your rest and spend enough quality time together, be not afraid. Thank you for all of your content, and I pray that peace be with you.
Thank you so much for updating us. I've been looking since I haven't seen anything for months. But yes, You need to take care of yourselves too. As for Zen's sleep problem...I have 4 kids, and they had issues sleeping as well. At least one of them had to constantly be in motion, so I had them sleep in baby swings. I hope you both find that groove when you can come back more consistently. Wishing you all the best. *Hugs from Seattle*
I want to thank you for teaching me so much about Japanese culture. I’ve learned a lot from you’re videos and I can’t wait to see more. However you should take care of yourself and family first so don’t worry about not posting for a while we’ll all be here when you can post again.
Hi Shogo and Harumi! It's good to hear from you. I was wondering why your videos weren't popping up in my recommended anymore and it's because there weren't any! I know it's a tough decision but I think you guys made the right one, your health and your family must come first. 4月に新しいビデオ楽しみにします．頑張ってね
Family is the most important. I've just discovered your channel, and I'm so happy to see you all so happy, healthy, and beautiful! I'm looking forward to checking out your lessons.
What precious wee ones! Enjoy being parents of tiny humans….they grow up so fast, you will be stunned as they change! I see the photos of our son when he was tiny, and it seems like only yesterday….he’s 23 now!
Please take care of yourselfs! And no need for any apologies! Your plans for next year sound great too. Just also take some time for yourself to relax, if possible. We’ll be here 😊
Thanks for the update, taking care of children is difficult, good luck. Glad to see you both are working together to take care of the children and accomplish your goals.
You guys do not need to ever apologize. I appreciate you sharing some of the behind-the-scenes, and we appreciate all the hard work you put in to your channels and content.
Take your time, Shogo-San. Since your first years, I’ve been dedicated to this channel and what you’ve shared. As you approach next April, I will still be dedicated to it. Until then, do your best!
Children definitely take a lot of work and attention. Having two girls myself I completely relate. I'm glad you are making sure to take care of your family first as that is very important. You are definitely not alone in the struggle. My youngest is in her terrible threes... I look forward to seeing your videos when you do come back in April.
Love you guys. Totally understand. Look after your health, and especially your kids. You can't get that time with them back. We will look forward to what ever you can get out. You're doing fantastic! Don't give up!
I understand that feeling of not spending enough time with your kiddos (just a single kiddo for me) because you have to do work at home, but then you stress about falling behind in your work to spend enough time with your kiddos. It is such a special kind of torture, because you don't feel like you're doing enough in either aspect and are constantly feeling bad about yourself for not "doing more". I have been in your shoes. You both are incredible and deserve a break, because you are only human and there is only so much you can do. Focus on your family, raise those beautiful children with lots of love from us to all of you! I hope Zen starts sleeping better, Nagi's terrible twos will eventually go away (I promise), and you won't regret spending more time with your kids. They'll only get bigger!
I find it adorable that’s you guys are a team. Not only working on your business together but also taking care of the kids. I wish you guys luck and can’t wait to see your return.
Yo! Long time no see! I kind of figured that offline life had gotten really busy for you guys. I mean, with the kids, the two channels, the offline work, and all of the training, it was kind of expected. But you honestly don't need to apologize. It might not mean much from some text on the internet, I hope that you guys are able to find some time for yourselves so that you can mentally and physically take a breath. Burn out is nothing to play with. Until then, I will be catching up on the videos from Seki-sensei's channel and the podcast... see you guys in April and please take care of yourselves!
Don't worry! Focus on your family for now. Lil ones need a lot of attention especially if you got them close together. Take it easy and when things settle a bit you can look into getting the channel back on track!
You are one of the best role models and examples! I hope meeting you one day! I live in Tokyo but used to live in Osaka. I’m one of your biggest fans and supporters. Have a great day🎉🎉🎉 Take care of your time always
thank you for taking the time to update us! in the end, your kids need to come first because childhood is short! we would rather see you take care of them and your health! i look forward to april, but dont worry if you have to delay more, and i'm especially excited to learn more about kimono in the future!
Take care of ur family first. Rest and take ur time till April. I will rewatch ur videos in the mean time to refresh the info of Japan. See you guys in 2024.
In Psychology, they often say children didn't have conscious/logical memory for the first 3 years of their lives. Which means that memory goes into their subconscious mind, which is indeed essential in shaping their experience as a person, even when they grow up... So i feel that saying is indeed very apt. It's great that you do have a life outside of this channel. Do what you need to and everything will fall into place!
You and your family are so inspirational! We appreciate the work that you do, but always do what’s best for you and your family first. 🎉 We’re rooting for you both!
I'd love to see Harumi explain the kimono, it's parts and color choices. Maybe learn about child care (or the lack) in Japan, too. And the early schools for the little ones. Lots to show us!! So, take time off, write some scripts and post when you can. We will not go away!
I love and care for you both so much, because your generosity transmit through the screen. All we want is for both to be happy and grounded with your family especially. We will be here for whenever you guys are ready! Shogo, take your time to heal your body, you are such a joyful person, let that heal you and relax you. Harumi, beautiful as always, you're a breath of fresh air and always have that sweet, gentle calmness to you it's verry satisfying. I'm excited to see what's new with your learning experience with kimonos and dances. Hinata, Nagi and Zen are the cutest! Both are in the right path to prioritize family, cherish every single moment and make the most fun memories for the 5 of you ❤. Love and blessings from your little friend in Puerto Rico 🇵🇷🫂🥰
Your show is very informative and well made I do hope to see it again when your able to make I understand how difficult life can get speaking from experience Ganbare Shogo!
You're both incredible! I have no idea how one can balance so many activities at once even without children - no wonder you currently can't do it with three! Take your time.
Shogo take all the time y'all need family comes first. I've only been watching y'all channel for a short time but I'm absolutely sure the no one will forget about y'all. Prayers for all of y'all and Merry Christmas.
Hello Shogo! Could you please make a video where you compare the difference, test them and then explain your personal opinion, between: Hyojun, Imo, Ryugo? Maybe dig a little deeper and first go meet a master who owns all three versions and can explain the differences to us and why they are different, before you test them yourself, cut some mats with them and give us your opinion. That would be a really cool video!
You guys are great. I noticed that I didn't receive any notifications from this channel so that is now changed. Don't worry, I missed so much, I think I need 6 months to catch up. You have a great support base among your subscribers.
I counted to three and guessed what was going on. I have not unsubscribed or anything so don’t worry and keep trying your best. That is all you can ask of yourself. I will be around.
Shogo is a father to 3 children and a husband and has multiple channels and interprets and teaches Japanese and studies martial arts and traditional arts too. He is a kind of superman 😮 Please take it easy Shogo san🤗
Faaacts your channel is awesome as well

Take all the time you need Shogo-San! All of your content is amazing no matter how long or short
Making an apology is a RUclips staple at this point.
I agree with you. Shogo is a busy man with young children.
When Harumi said she can't finish her tasks, as a fellow mom I felt that in my soul. Keep it up your family is beautiful and your kiddos are adorable.
You may not finish the minor tasks, but you have completed the most important one to your child: You have survived until this moment. Your very existence is a source of hope for future possibilities for your child! In place of your child (as well as being a complete stranger!) thankyou so very much for surviving, and thankyou for continuing to choose to do so!

@@CloudyWolf713 Thank you.
I only watch Sensei channel, but sometimes I binge on this one.
Supremely greatful we get these videos because I don't speak Japanese and never would've known about any of this unless someone made videos.
Thank you!
Shogo i'll always enjoy your videos no matter how often you upload! and even if you move on to other things, you have so many wonderful things that you & your family are doing and can do! don't feel bad for having to make changes or for taking better care of yourself :) and of course that goes for Harumi too! love you both ❤️❤️❤️
it makes perfect sense to take a break and make sure that you're there for your kids 💖 i think it's wonderful and very responsible. you clearly love your family so much 🥰
No need to apologize. We will be here patiently waiting ❤
Did anyone else laugh out loud at 5:15? The way little Zen grinned at the camera as Shogo said he's not been letting them sleep😂
It’s understandable, sounds like ordinary shifting in the work/life-balance, subscribed to your other channel and sticking with ya. Congratulations to your family, and for blessed new things happening, definitely get your rest and spend enough quality time together, be not afraid. Thank you for all of your content, and I pray that peace be with you.
Thank you so much for updating us. I've been looking since I haven't seen anything for months. But yes, You need to take care of yourselves too. As for Zen's sleep problem...I have 4 kids, and they had issues sleeping as well. At least one of them had to constantly be in motion, so I had them sleep in baby swings. I hope you both find that groove when you can come back more consistently. Wishing you all the best. *Hugs from Seattle*
Parenting is hard, do what you need to do to keep yourselves well and to be there for your kids. Hugs to you both.
I want to thank you for teaching me so much about Japanese culture. I’ve learned a lot from you’re videos and I can’t wait to see more. However you should take care of yourself and family first so don’t worry about not posting for a while we’ll all be here when you can post again.
Hi Shogo and Harumi! It's good to hear from you. I was wondering why your videos weren't popping up in my recommended anymore and it's because there weren't any! I know it's a tough decision but I think you guys made the right one, your health and your family must come first. 4月に新しいビデオ楽しみにします．頑張ってね
Take your time shogo and harumi. Stay healthy and stay safe.
Family is the most important. I've just discovered your channel, and I'm so happy to see you all so happy, healthy, and beautiful! I'm looking forward to checking out your lessons.
Wow I used to follow your channel back around 2020-2021 when I was still at university, it's crazy to see how much growth you have experienced!
Definitely take the time you need to take care of your family, nothing to apologize for
Glad you guys are well! Enjoy the time you have with your little ones, my daughter is turning 4 on the 18th and it goes by really fast!
What precious wee ones! Enjoy being parents of tiny humans….they grow up so fast, you will be stunned as they change! I see the photos of our son when he was tiny, and it seems like only yesterday….he’s 23 now!
Please take care of yourselfs! And no need for any apologies! Your plans for next year sound great too. Just also take some time for yourself to relax, if possible. We’ll be here 😊
We won't forget you Shogo and Harumi ❤
Family first.
Much respect to you for your efforts and your awesome wife's support.
Thanks for the update, taking care of children is difficult, good luck. Glad to see you both are working together to take care of the children and accomplish your goals.
So glad to hear from you two again!!!! Take everything easy, I look forward toyour videos in April again!!!
Do what you need for yourselves and family. Just don't delete your content. I am slowly watching through it.
Shogo, Harumi, and family, thank you so much for the update. Excited to see you in April!
You guys do not need to ever apologize. I appreciate you sharing some of the behind-the-scenes, and we appreciate all the hard work you put in to your channels and content.
Take your time, Shogo-San. Since your first years, I’ve been dedicated to this channel and what you’ve shared. As you approach next April, I will still be dedicated to it. Until then, do your best!
Children definitely take a lot of work and attention. Having two girls myself I completely relate. I'm glad you are making sure to take care of your family first as that is very important. You are definitely not alone in the struggle. My youngest is in her terrible threes... I look forward to seeing your videos when you do come back in April.
Remember, you’re not replaceable at home. So take your time, rest up, and take care of yourselves and your beautiful babies! ❤
Love you guys. Totally understand. Look after your health, and especially your kids. You can't get that time with them back. We will look forward to what ever you can get out. You're doing fantastic! Don't give up!
I love your content. I hope you have a wonderful rest of the year.
Shogo. I enjoy your videos. Love the Japanese attire, the culture, and samurai. Sugoi! Keep up the amazing work.
I understand that feeling of not spending enough time with your kiddos (just a single kiddo for me) because you have to do work at home, but then you stress about falling behind in your work to spend enough time with your kiddos.
It is such a special kind of torture, because you don't feel like you're doing enough in either aspect and are constantly feeling bad about yourself for not "doing more". I have been in your shoes.
You both are incredible and deserve a break, because you are only human and there is only so much you can do. Focus on your family, raise those beautiful children with lots of love from us to all of you!
I hope Zen starts sleeping better, Nagi's terrible twos will eventually go away (I promise), and you won't regret spending more time with your kids. They'll only get bigger!
I find it adorable that’s you guys are a team. Not only working on your business together but also taking care of the kids. I wish you guys luck and can’t wait to see your return.
Yo! Long time no see!
I kind of figured that offline life had gotten really busy for you guys. I mean, with the kids, the two channels, the offline work, and all of the training, it was kind of expected. But you honestly don't need to apologize.
It might not mean much from some text on the internet, I hope that you guys are able to find some time for yourselves so that you can mentally and physically take a breath. Burn out is nothing to play with.
Until then, I will be catching up on the videos from Seki-sensei's channel and the podcast... see you guys in April and please take care of yourselves!
Don't worry! Focus on your family for now. Lil ones need a lot of attention especially if you got them close together. Take it easy and when things settle a bit you can look into getting the channel back on track!
Life happens for us all. So no worries, do what you need during your hiatus, and see you in April of next year and have a happy holiday season
You are one of the best role models and examples! I hope meeting you one day! I live in Tokyo but used to live in Osaka. I’m one of your biggest fans and supporters. Have a great day🎉🎉🎉
Take care of your time always
thank you for taking the time to update us! in the end, your kids need to come first because childhood is short! we would rather see you take care of them and your health! i look forward to april, but dont worry if you have to delay more, and i'm especially excited to learn more about kimono in the future!
Take care of ur family first. Rest and take ur time till April. I will rewatch ur videos in the mean time to refresh the info of Japan. See you guys in 2024.
No worries, Shogo I love everything you do!
Don’t worry Shogo San . I love all your work. I had 5 kids. I know how hard it is. 🙏🏼
In Psychology, they often say children didn't have conscious/logical memory for the first 3 years of their lives. Which means that memory goes into their subconscious mind, which is indeed essential in shaping their experience as a person, even when they grow up... So i feel that saying is indeed very apt.
It's great that you do have a life outside of this channel. Do what you need to and everything will fall into place!
No worries guys! Family first!
I feel for you both - I have 3 kids too and those first 5 years are so so exhausting! Take care of your health and get family help any time you can
You and your family are so inspirational! We appreciate the work that you do, but always do what’s best for you and your family first. 🎉 We’re rooting for you both!
I'd love to see Harumi explain the kimono, it's parts and color choices. Maybe learn about child care (or the lack) in Japan, too. And the early schools for the little ones. Lots to show us!! So, take time off, write some scripts and post when you can. We will not go away!
I love and care for you both so much, because your generosity transmit through the screen. All we want is for both to be happy and grounded with your family especially. We will be here for whenever you guys are ready!
Shogo, take your time to heal your body, you are such a joyful person, let that heal you and relax you. Harumi, beautiful as always, you're a breath of fresh air and always have that sweet, gentle calmness to you it's verry satisfying. I'm excited to see what's new with your learning experience with kimonos and dances. Hinata, Nagi and Zen are the cutest! Both are in the right path to prioritize family, cherish every single moment and make the most fun memories for the 5 of you ❤.
Love and blessings from your little friend in Puerto Rico 🇵🇷🫂🥰
❤️ still love 💕 you guys; live life and can't wait to see you back
Sweet babies!!! Those of us who are parents definitely understand for sure!!! Enjoy your time with your family and recharge!!!!❤❤❤❤
Your show is very informative and well made I do hope to see it again when your able to make
I understand how difficult life can get speaking from experience
Ganbare Shogo!
Please take the time you need! We won't forget about you!
Love you guy! Thanks for the update! Keep doing what you’re doing! 🐾
Children are a gift, and they don't stay little forever. Cherish it while you can, guys.
We love u Shogo ❤❤❤ and your family, take the time you need ❤❤❤
You're both incredible! I have no idea how one can balance so many activities at once even without children - no wonder you currently can't do it with three! Take your time.
Shogo take all the time y'all need family comes first. I've only been watching y'all channel for a short time but I'm absolutely sure the no one will forget about y'all. Prayers for all of y'all and Merry Christmas.
It always brightens my day when you do post! You never get the time back, so take care of the kids, and take care of each other!
Well if it's burnout or something then it is Understandable
Hello Shogo! Could you please make a video where you compare the difference, test them and then explain your personal opinion, between: Hyojun, Imo, Ryugo? Maybe dig a little deeper and first go meet a master who owns all three versions and can explain the differences to us and why they are different, before you test them yourself, cut some mats with them and give us your opinion. That would be a really cool video!
So long as RUclipss algorithms recommends your videos, I will watch them. They are quality, there is a lot of work put into making them and it shows.
You guys are great. I noticed that I didn't receive any notifications from this channel so that is now changed. Don't worry, I missed so much, I think I need 6 months to catch up. You have a great support base among your subscribers.
Dude, it's cool. Do your thing!
We're Rooting for you Shogo!
Thanks for letting us know what's going on. Take the time you need, your children are young and they need you now. We can wait.
You are great parents, totally understand, I can't wait to see you back ...
I counted to three and guessed what was going on. I have not unsubscribed or anything so don’t worry and keep trying your best. That is all you can ask of yourself. I will be around.
