Hope you guys are doing ok out there! I just got a wisdom tooth removed so I’m a bit out of it but overall doing ok 😊 let me know how you’ve been doing and what you’ve been up to to take care of yourself! (Also to clarify I’m not suuuuper strict with routine and what I eat! I make junk food when I feel like it and watch a lot of Netflix if I find a good show to binge haha)
Since quarantine began I bought ukulele and i learn how to play, right now i'm able to write my own simple songs and i enjoy it so much. I remember you had ukulele, do you still play?
Nice! I do a little bit, and played a little in this video but I cut it out because the video got too long 😂 though a string on my ukulele is acting whack and making a gross sound so it’s not too nice to listen to 😂
Also that sounds amazing being able to write your own songs!!! I’m very impressed, it’s always amazing when you can stick with something and see the progress
OK so talking otomatones, there's this pretty tricky wind band piece called the Lincolnshire Posy and someone has done an otomatone cover and halfway through they jump up the octave to the piccolo part (my part lmao) and it kills me and is the funniest otomatone video I've seen
I’ve mostly been playing animal crossing and stardew valley on my switch as well as watching avatar on Netflix now that it’s on there. I’ve seen it a million times but I still love it. Moved back home since my uni closed down for the pandemic but I got a new desk, tv, and air conditioner from shopping second hand which is really nice! I need to eat healthier and exercise more tho for sure. I’ve been slacking 😅
Ikr. But depends on where you live too. I live blocks away from the area the White house is in. I hear the flash BANGS and tear gas BOOMS, the constant sirens and choppers from my apartment. Due to health issue I can not go out during the pandemic. The government needs to really hear the ppl, and finally do the right thing.
@@winterodochartaigh2536 Wow, stay safe! Trump and this current US government would be a complete joke if there was still anything remotely funny about it. Absolute gross incompetence.
Seeing someone enjoying music creation as a hobby is so refreshing! As someone who is studying music at the collegiate level, music has become more of a stressor to me than a creative outlet which, I think, is really a tragedy. Music, the thing that I am passionate about, doesn't seem enjoyable anymore. I haven't created music just for the sake of having fun in so long... I think it is just the mindset that I'm afraid that it won't be "good enough" or i'll make a mistake. Seeing you excited to create music without fear of being "wrong" or "under-par" is admirable and reminds me that not all music needs to be for others but it is okay to make music for yourself to enjoy. Thank you for helping me to realize this and thank you for always putting out amazing content. I appreciate you and your work
Honestly I’ve thought about the position you’re in a lot! Personally, everything creative I do eventually reaches a point of being self critical and the joy gets sucked out of it. The more you know about something the more you realise how much you don’t know! So it’s easy to focus on mistakes rather than progress. I hope that you can find a way to find joy in creating again! If you can then it gives me hope for the future, because If I manage to keep this up I will probably be sharing similar feelings in the future. Making music for just yourself and being not afraid to make mistakes is a tough lesson but I hope you can make your way through it!
Ah, expectations...such great motivation, I agree!!! My favorite salad: Mixed greens, green beans, cherry tomatoes, black olives, grilled octopus with a vinaigrette made of sherry vinegar, orange juice concentrate and some maple syrup...et voila!
I love the producing music! The third one I loved so, so much. I have chronic pain so I am basically always in quarantine. I did try knitting again but because of arthritis deciding to begin in my fingers, that had to stop. I feel so old. Fun. I do appreciate that in Australia we can now have friends over, so I’ve had two visits so far which is great. I’m okay being on my own, but I’m a full time carer for my son now so I’m not completely on my own. I also moved three months ago, that was crazy. A lot of sad shit happened, so just trying to get better and move into a better place emotionally. I realised I’m a much bigger introvert than I thought.
Thanks for your video. You were so upbeat and enthusiast. I really needed that. My salads are not to great. Lettuce, radishes, cucumber, heat up the broccoli, carrots, spinach, bacon bits, croissants, Italian dressing. I make enough for 3 salads. this last week, I got lazy and the stuff just went bad in the refrigerator and i had to throw it away. I was eating cookies, cup cakes, and chocolate, I just never got to the salads. I live near Minneapolis, Minnesota, so it has been interesting and bad around here lately. I do hope people get along better. I hope to see you on a trip thru Japan. You do a good job.
yep, was watching a really wholsome channel and she happend to have bare feet and the majority of the comments were foot fetishists making gross comments about her feet 😖🤢
Emma, I'm so impressed by the work you've put in to create a healthy structure for yourself in these times, and I love that you've taken up music writing as a hobby. I love the first lil clip from the windwaker noises! I've been subscribed to you for years now and your videos have always inspired me even when in my worst and darkest depression hole. I just wanted to say thank you for that since that's been more prevalent lately and I wish you the best of luck w your music!! Xxx
I love watching you doing things at home! It makes me feel like I can try stuff just for the sake of fun. I'm such an analytical person so I always put so much stress on myself that everything should be precise and accurate to the point where sometimes I just neglect my hobbies because the results as aren't as perfect as I wish they would be. That's not the way to go and we should all learn and grow ourselves along the way.
I'm a new subscriber and have been binge watching your videos lately. I like how peaceful your general disposition is and how gentle you are towards yourself and towards your home and plants. Too often we are very hard on ourselves. Also, your peaceful nature is really beautiful to see. I also love how positive you are towards things, even when there are obvious hardships of less space, you make the most of things. It has given me a me perspective on life in general, so thank you for that.... your first flat was so small and yet you made it your own with tiny additions to add your personality to the space. Your growth into larger homes feels amazing to watch and I also appreciate the greenery that i can see outside my flat and the sunlight that floods into my home every morning. I choose to appreciate that more now instead of complaining about my extremely tiny house. Things can be much worse and I am doing just fine in the larger scheme of things. You don't know how profoundly you can touch someone's life by just being you. I wish you a lot of success in your life and through this channel. You've certainly helped me! :-)
Hey Emma, I don't know if you'll ever read this but I just wanted to say a huge, huge thank you ❤️ your videos have always inspired me so much and even though we've never met you have the talent of making people feel connected to you which is so special(: You look like a beautiful person inside out and I wish you the absolute best in your life ❤️❤️
Wah thank you for being so kind!! I wish the same right back at you, thank you for supporting me and sending me something so nice to read in the morning, I’m going to take it with me in my brain for the rest of the day 😊 I hope life is treating you well!! ❤️
As the last few months of 2019 have been really hard on me, I'm taking my time to recover and spending time by myself during this ongoing quarantine. Doing all the things I couldn't do before like catch up on my japanese studies, listening to a lot of music/podcasts, watching movies/series, doing jigsaw puzzles and I even got a color by numbers painting. Bascially just relaxing all day haha Also as I'm living in Europe, I can't join your livestream but definitely watching it afterwards!! Your videos also helped me and I enjoy them a lot. Always looking forward for new stuff :) I'm sure your videos made the quarantine a little more enjoyable for many people. A big ❤ for you, Emma
I really envy (in a good way) the life of this woman. She gets to live off of a creative endevour and have time to excercise, do cool hobbies, play video games and socialize. An still be able to sustain herself and have a kick ass music production set up lol. AND live in japan. Honestly everything I would like to have in my life.
You clearly have a natural ear for music. Glad you’re having fun with it!! Oh man I miss Game Cube games so much. Mario Sunshine was my absolute favorite, I remember it felt so magical to play when I was a kid.
Hi, your salad looked really good! the Moroccan carrot salad from The Paleo Way - Pete Evans I make for potlucks but I swap the almonds for walnuts. Beetroot leaves, with grated beetroot & pan fried sunflower seeds is one of my favourites as i like the texture of the leaves. I put grated apple in my coleslaws and sprinkle sesame seeds on salads and rice. Choko (julienne peeled) with lemon juice, salt & pepper is simple, quick, fresh, love this one my friend showed me how to make it once and I've been making it ever since. the oils I've been using at the moment to pan fry seeds are Liquid MCT oil or Coconut oil. I use herbs from the garden parsley or thyme. fresh mint is good too. Thank you for making your videos!!
Glad to see you’re doing so well. Enjoy your videos and the Tokyo Creative ones too. In fact, I’ve been binge watching them! Your positivity is very inspiring. Stay well, Emma!
I really liked your songs Emma! I've been keeping busy by trying to study Japanese for 2 hours a day, taking walks, video chatting with friends, playing video games and exercising!
Carrying over routines is a good idea. I want to get into the habit of working out again and once you're used to it you'll stick to it anyway (I used to work out multiple times a week during high school and then stopped because of final and then uni). Otherwise I have a routine thanks to uni and working part-time. I also live alone and am ok with it, I mean I do miss going to the movies or meeting up with friends for cooking and board game evenings, but other than that I'm doing ok. My family is strewn across two continents, too so we're used to chatting and stuff and our family chat has really exploded during these times. One cool thing our local cinema is doing is hosting a sort of pub quiz online (movie related of course) and my friend and I try to participate each week (if we don't have to work that night) and we just talk on the phone for it and I know others are doing zoom meetings or skype for that xD
Glad to see you're enjoying hobbies and thriving during quarantine. I always look forward to hearing about what you're up to! My relaxation hobbies are photography, crochet and reading. And drinking coffee. 😁
My fav salad is baby greens, wonton strips, green onions, shaved almonds, purple cabbage, and whatever other veggies I have around with a sesame ginger dressing. Top it with teriyaki chicken for added protein!!
Mandarin segments go really well in a salad with walnut and some shaved Parmesan (though not sure if you can have that with your dairy intolerance). Like half the internet I've taken up sourdough baking and been getting stuck into the garden a bunch.
A nice refreshing salad I've been into lately is: -lettuce (honestly any green will do here, I prefer mixed greens or baby greens) -gorgonzola cheese (small chunks-bleu will work too) -dried cranberries (crasins) -chopped almond slices -olive oil and red wine vinegar (oil and vinegar dressing) -a little salt/pepper to taste -a squeeze of lemon if you want (or any citrus) BAM. It is really refreshing and the little bursts of sweetness from the "crasins" is amazing. It really is nice when it's super hot outside. (Florida weather kinda like Japan's minus the snow)
I always love fruit in my salads. If not for Roku, I'd be more nuts by now. DC is still on loxkdiwn, but ppl have still been doing their own thing anyway. My boyfrield is still on lockdown in MD. We try to talk every day, also text and chat. I can't get a cat till I can finish my furniture shopping (new apartment), which was stalled upon lockdown. Hopefully soon 🤞 . A cat and a new fish tank would help a lot. I look through local shelters (online), at least once a week, for kitties. They're starting to do virtual pet meeting/adoptions now, but I feel I should wait till I'm able to adopt for that. I don't want to get attached and then sad when it gets adopted by someine else. Your vids always put a smile on my face. Bless you! ✨😘✨
I count this a a salads as they serve these in my local salad house. I have tried to make them at home, but I feel like something is missing, but for your insipiration: 1. Basmati rice, spicy beef with onion, cabbage salad with herbs and peanuts, fried onion, coriander and the 2. Basmati rice, chicken masala, Bombay potatoes, ginger carrots, broccoli, spicy chickpeas, coriander, papadum with Curry sauce, 3. Oriental couscous, iceberg lettuce, falafel, spicy chickpeas, marinated olives with cucumber, salsa fresca, lavash, smooth parsley with Tahini yogurt.
Yay a new Emma video! I was hoping for a fun Emma song, but instead we got fun music and a fun salad! During lockdown I’ve been knitting more, organising my stuff, and I’ve started making my own skincare products
Emma! You rock! Thanks for all you awesome content! In a world that seems so grey I look forward to watching your fun and uplifting videos. Thank you from Canada!! 😁
OMG EMMA!!!! I WAS SO SHOCKED TO KNOW THAT YOU GOT FL STUDIO!!!! I'm so EXCITED for you and I hope you share lots and lots of your music with us please
Your music definitely hits a lot of emotional vibes. You should see about getting it into some indie video games. Plus, I'm sure I'm not the only one who would love being able to pay for your music! You definitely have had this hidden talent waiting to come out. Insane what you are already producing. Well done!
Salad recipe: salad leaves, feta or goat’s cheese, beetroot, and walnuts. Dress as you wish-straight balsamic is pretty good. (The little bits reference was excellent, btw.)
I prepare salad that's quite similar to what you made, but I also add cottage cheese or tofu to it. You should try it, it tastes quite good. A little minced garlic also adds to the taste.
Try adding chickpeas to your salad! They’re a really great way to make it a bit more substantial and add another interesting texture. Other beans are good but chickpeas are my favourite! Another awesome addition is to chop up some fresh herbs and add them in as well for extra flavour
My favorite salad inspirations: Salad Samari and Show up for Salad...two vegan cookbooks by Terry Hope Romero. I also love Food52 Mighty Salads: 60 New Ways to Turn Salad into Dinner. I use those cookbooks all the time. But mostly I think of salad of any chopped mixed veg with a killer dressing: it does not need any kind of leafy green. So freeing. I eat way more veg this way. Delish! Also....oat groats..probably hard to get in Japan, but really levels up a salad.
I got in really deep with fantasy, The Witcher, Skyrim and above all The Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit, i got into archery, i've been cooking a lot, definetly less healthy than you but i've been finally able to cook many things i wanted to cook for a while. I kept studying japanese, more consistently than before, i've been drawing more and kept on writing music. Those things kept me going, although, living in northern Italy, we felt the full brunt of the pandemic for a while and i felt very anxious and depressed for a month and half or so. Oh P.S. and obviously i recently stopped using Facebook and Twitter. Too much vitriol, too much hate and too many horrible things all the time at every moment of my day. I found myself always checking those, taking time away from my hobbies and filling my head with more anxiety. I know my mental health is thanking me for taking a break from those, especially Twitter.
It’s so funny cause here in the states we just say “daw” we don’t say each letter- I just realized it’s probably different everywhere and that’s super cool to me! Love your stuff ♥️♥️♥️ going through like every video while I work from home to combat boredom so thank you 😭♥️
@@TokidokiTraveller Sounds good - will keep an eye out for it! Also, I really love your "sad song" - hoping we'll maybe get to hear the full version sometime soon - or have it available to download. >.> :)
Heeeey! I am so proud of you sharing about a hobby you are excited about! I am the same way about things that get me excited. I am too embarrassed about my own enthusiasm and so I never share about it. Love this chat video!
My tip for salad is try chopping up the leaves and add some cabbage! I don't know why but I find chopped salads so much more fun texturally! (I learned this from becoming addicted to CHOPT salads which is a 'healthy fast-food' chain here in the US)
I love your music adventure. Don't worry if you're not making stuff that hits like your favorite things... often things will not sound that hitting before reaching the professional mix and mastering stages. I like your tunes their quirky. If you learn the mixing abilities after you've got the creation down you could easily make it somewhat professional by selling them to Copywrite free backing tracks for videos. And even have them pop up in your own videos. Music is probably the art that will make you pick apart your own stuff the most. The way to counteract that is to give a month's break from a track before listening to it. I realized this when people played a track I forgot I made and was like "this is dope, who made this?" and they were like "It's yours" and then I remembered and remembered myself hating it and thinking it was awful. We're so used to the mass of music being polished to the highest of standards as a norm that the musical journey can be hard to know your worth. Just think, if it makes you happy and there are people that like to watch you then there's already worth there even if something is bad lol. I'm a chef and love watching you cook. The best meal in my eye is the one made and enjoyed with good people. I've got no friends at the moment so RUclips is my friend group I hang out in and stay quiet haha. I have one friend that I miss so much, she is the cure to everything... I've got to create a safe life, and thinking about the RUclips journey as a way to achieve that... Once I'm not practically homeless lol...
My favorite salad dressing is just extra virgin olive oil, white or apple vinegar, salt, pepper, and any other spices you want. You can shake it up in mason jar or just whisk it together in a bowl with a fork. Please try it. It's absolutely mouthgasmic.
Hey Emma! If you’re looking for some salad inspo, I recommend searching some recipes on pinterest! I always like to experiment a little bit and switch up my greens with some quinoa or bulgur and adding fruits such as oranges, mangoes, dried cranberries or some pomegrenate! Sometimes I add some feta cheese too!
omg thats so cool i didnt know about the producer thing i produce music in my free time as well and been using this fl studio 11 that i downloaded from torrent for like 6-7 years and i started not knowing anything about chords and scales or anything about music theory and production in general, what i would suggest is listen to as much of the music genre you want to produce as you can to figure out the structure and the basics and after that just start experimenting on top of those fundamentals. thats the beauty of music in my opinion cheers
Hey girl, I've been getting into salad more lately too, actually!! I try to have one a day :) I've really been enjoying drizzling a tiny bit of maple syrup on my salads! Also good for you on the working out part, I sadly strained a muscle because of working out too much and gotta heal for a few weeks but keep it up, it's so wholesome during the isolation!! I've been practicing drawing and getting rid of things I don't really need in my apartment and stuff. Also ive been staying sane with meditation and walks. ^^
Almost 2 o'clock in the morning here in Germany, I know I should sleep... But hey, there's a new Tokidoki video! So somehow I have to watch it first 😃 Apparently my sleeping routine isn't working so well 😅 Nice greetings from the other side of the world, I really like your videos!
I love salad. Once Spring hits, I'm all over the salads! My favourite all time salad is Vietnamese coleslaw (Goi Ga). The key is loads of Vietnamese mint and coriander!
Your videos are always very enjoyable and I find myself looking forwards to them every once in a while 😊 for me personally, the quarantine found me in a place out in the countryside with almost no internet connection... So that was a bit challenging 😅 I hope you are safe and well .. love your videos !! :)
I actually own a salad "cook"book called Salad Samurai, which sounds nuts, right? A book about salad?! Who needs that? At least that's what I thought. But let me tell you: It is sooo good. The recipes are so creative!
I tried out Ableton because I was a bit interested in making music but producing and learning a DAW is SO MUCH and so intricate and I kinda came to the conclusion that it was too much for something I didn't have a passion for. I'll stick with learning Final Fantasy 14 lmao
OUTSTANDING LEARNING MUSIC/JAPANESE,,,I ALSO SPENT LIFE ALONE AND IN SOME REAL COOL PARTS OF BACK COUNTRY UT/NV/AZ ETC AND PICKED UP PLAYING THE HARMONICA..VERY REWARDING ,STAY WITH IT,LOVED THE EXIT TUNE...STAY WELL
I will share my over-night pickle recipe: Cucumbers, some vinegar, a little bit of olive oil, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. I fill the container halfway with vinegar, put the other ingredients, and then fill the rest with water. My family also likes to add tomatoes. I brought these to a BBQ the other day and everyone loved them!
i don't even know how i'm supposed to feel about hobbies/things to do cuz at first i literally just had video games and i was like oh yeah i definetly need more, but now i got piano, guitar, japanese, video games, video editing, art, skating... oh boy
Definitely important to do things you like and also keep the brain active. Appreciate you sharing your routine and activities. Keep up the great content and have a wonderful day 🙌💯😎👍
Oooooooooo Emma have you ever seen Kalimbas? If not google them, I think you’d love to include one in your music making process. They sound like a beautiful music box, and are portable, easy to play etc

Glad to see you’re doing so well. Enjoy your videos and the Tokyo Creative ones too. In fact, I’ve been binge watching them! Your positivity is very inspiring. Stay well, Emma!
The end where you played piano and talked staggeredly was very relaxing.
The music was so good!! I really liked this video, very chill and relaxing ❤️
I really liked your songs Emma! I've been keeping busy by trying to study Japanese for 2 hours a day, taking walks, video chatting with friends, playing video games and exercising!
Carrying over routines is a good idea. I want to get into the habit of working out again and once you're used to it you'll stick to it anyway (I used to work out multiple times a week during high school and then stopped because of final and then uni).
Otherwise I have a routine thanks to uni and working part-time. I also live alone and am ok with it, I mean I do miss going to the movies or meeting up with friends for cooking and board game evenings, but other than that I'm doing ok. My family is strewn across two continents, too so we're used to chatting and stuff and our family chat has really exploded during these times.
One cool thing our local cinema is doing is hosting a sort of pub quiz online (movie related of course) and my friend and I try to participate each week (if we don't have to work that night) and we just talk on the phone for it and I know others are doing zoom meetings or skype for that xD
Glad to see you're enjoying hobbies and thriving during quarantine. I always look forward to hearing about what you're up to! My relaxation hobbies are photography, crochet and reading. And drinking coffee. 😁
I’m going insane. I’m an introvert so im perfectly fine being at home but I miss being around others so much
I don't think I've ever said this before, but I love your outro.
Same here, I've always loved it.
My fav salad is baby greens, wonton strips, green onions, shaved almonds, purple cabbage, and whatever other veggies I have around with a sesame ginger dressing. Top it with teriyaki chicken for added protein!!
Mandarin segments go really well in a salad with walnut and some shaved Parmesan (though not sure if you can have that with your dairy intolerance). Like half the internet I've taken up sourdough baking and been getting stuck into the garden a bunch.
Big rush of nostalgia at 10:38 . I spent so much time playing monkey ball on Xbox 💛
A nice refreshing salad I've been into lately is:
-lettuce (honestly any green will do here, I prefer mixed greens or baby greens)
-gorgonzola cheese (small chunks-bleu will work too)
-dried cranberries (crasins)
-chopped almond slices
-olive oil and red wine vinegar (oil and vinegar dressing)
-a little salt/pepper to taste
-a squeeze of lemon if you want (or any citrus)
BAM.
It is really refreshing and the little bursts of sweetness from the "crasins" is amazing. It really is nice when it's super hot outside. (Florida weather kinda like Japan's minus the snow)
oh, and I also add matchstick carrots!
I always love fruit in my salads.
If not for Roku, I'd be more nuts by now. DC is still on loxkdiwn, but ppl have still been doing their own thing anyway. My boyfrield is still on lockdown in MD. We try to talk every day, also text and chat. I can't get a cat till I can finish my furniture shopping (new apartment), which was stalled upon lockdown. Hopefully soon 🤞 .
A cat and a new fish tank would help a lot. I look through local shelters (online), at least once a week, for kitties. They're starting to do virtual pet meeting/adoptions now, but I feel I should wait till I'm able to adopt for that. I don't want to get attached and then sad when it gets adopted by someine else.
Your vids always put a smile on my face. Bless you! ✨😘✨
I count this a a salads as they serve these in my local salad house. I have tried to make them at home, but I feel like something is missing, but for your insipiration: 1. Basmati rice, spicy beef with onion, cabbage salad with herbs and peanuts, fried onion, coriander and the 2. Basmati rice, chicken masala, Bombay potatoes, ginger carrots, broccoli, spicy chickpeas, coriander, papadum with Curry sauce, 3. Oriental couscous, iceberg lettuce, falafel, spicy chickpeas, marinated olives with cucumber, salsa fresca, lavash, smooth parsley
with Tahini yogurt.
That "little bits" give me big shivers,
I was not expecting that on my headphones haha
Yay a new Emma video! I was hoping for a fun Emma song, but instead we got fun music and a fun salad!
During lockdown I’ve been knitting more, organising my stuff, and I’ve started making my own skincare products
Emma! You rock! Thanks for all you awesome content! In a world that seems so grey I look forward to watching your fun and uplifting videos. Thank you from Canada!! 😁
Your vlogs are so fun!
Your mood and energy in this video made me so happy, you seem like you're thriving and doing great. 💪❤
OMG EMMA!!!! I WAS SO SHOCKED TO KNOW THAT YOU GOT FL STUDIO!!!! I'm so EXCITED for you and I hope you share lots and lots of your music with us please
Thanks for sharing your many talents 😘 I've spent my isolation time studying, educating my two children and working two jobs online.
Your music definitely hits a lot of emotional vibes. You should see about getting it into some indie video games. Plus, I'm sure I'm not the only one who would love being able to pay for your music! You definitely have had this hidden talent waiting to come out. Insane what you are already producing. Well done!
Glad to see you are doing so great 😍
I’m so happy you’re making music! You’ve got a natural talent for singing entertaining songs. Keep at it! 😃
Salad recipe: salad leaves, feta or goat’s cheese, beetroot, and walnuts. Dress as you wish-straight balsamic is pretty good. (The little bits reference was excellent, btw.)
I prepare salad that's quite similar to what you made, but I also add cottage cheese or tofu to it. You should try it, it tastes quite good. A little minced garlic also adds to the taste.
Try adding chickpeas to your salad! They’re a really great way to make it a bit more substantial and add another interesting texture. Other beans are good but chickpeas are my favourite! Another awesome addition is to chop up some fresh herbs and add them in as well for extra flavour
My favorite salad inspirations: Salad Samari and Show up for Salad...two vegan cookbooks by Terry Hope Romero. I also love Food52 Mighty Salads: 60 New Ways to Turn Salad into Dinner. I use those cookbooks all the time. But mostly I think of salad of any chopped mixed veg with a killer dressing: it does not need any kind of leafy green. So freeing. I eat way more veg this way. Delish! Also....oat groats..probably hard to get in Japan, but really levels up a salad.
I got in really deep with fantasy, The Witcher, Skyrim and above all The Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit, i got into archery, i've been cooking a lot, definetly less healthy than you but i've been finally able to cook many things i wanted to cook for a while. I kept studying japanese, more consistently than before, i've been drawing more and kept on writing music. Those things kept me going, although, living in northern Italy, we felt the full brunt of the pandemic for a while and i felt very anxious and depressed for a month and half or so.
Oh P.S. and obviously i recently stopped using Facebook and Twitter. Too much vitriol, too much hate and too many horrible things all the time at every moment of my day. I found myself always checking those, taking time away from my hobbies and filling my head with more anxiety. I know my mental health is thanking me for taking a break from those, especially Twitter.
Thanks for the inspiration.
It’s so funny cause here in the states we just say “daw” we don’t say each letter- I just realized it’s probably different everywhere and that’s super cool to me!
Love your stuff ♥️♥️♥️ going through like every video while I work from home to combat boredom so thank you 😭♥️
Emma, you should remake your intro with the Otomatone one of those days.
TOKIDOKI ON THE BEAT
Quite the emmalution! So much development over the past few months!
Your "sad song" had some serious Pokémon Snap vibes which I loved
We need this quick pickling recipe from Taylor B!! Hehe
Yes! She’s making a video about it so I can’t betray her and share the recipe, but I’ll share the video as soon as it’s out 😄
@@TokidokiTraveller Sounds good - will keep an eye out for it! Also, I really love your "sad song" - hoping we'll maybe get to hear the full version sometime soon - or have it available to download. >.> :)
Does Taylor have a RUclips page where she will be posting the recipe?
Your hair and makeup look fantastic. I like it wavy and the lighter color. Also like the side bangs (fringe).
Heeeey! I am so proud of you sharing about a hobby you are excited about! I am the same way about things that get me excited. I am too embarrassed about my own enthusiasm and so I never share about it. Love this chat video!
My tip for salad is try chopping up the leaves and add some cabbage! I don't know why but I find chopped salads so much more fun texturally! (I learned this from becoming addicted to CHOPT salads which is a 'healthy fast-food' chain here in the US)
I love your little musical outro! So cute!
I really dig what you called your 'sad song'. Good stuff!
Not even gonna lie I REALLY love your music and I was so sad to only hear short clips! I need a soundtrack length album!!
I love your music adventure.
Don't worry if you're not making stuff that hits like your favorite things... often things will not sound that hitting before reaching the professional mix and mastering stages.
I like your tunes their quirky.
If you learn the mixing abilities after you've got the creation down you could easily make it somewhat professional by selling them to Copywrite free backing tracks for videos.
And even have them pop up in your own videos.
Music is probably the art that will make you pick apart your own stuff the most.
The way to counteract that is to give a month's break from a track before listening to it.
I realized this when people played a track I forgot I made and was like "this is dope, who made this?" and they were like "It's yours" and then I remembered and remembered myself hating it and thinking it was awful.
We're so used to the mass of music being polished to the highest of standards as a norm that the musical journey can be hard to know your worth.
Just think, if it makes you happy and there are people that like to watch you then there's already worth there even if something is bad lol.
I'm a chef and love watching you cook.
The best meal in my eye is the one made and enjoyed with good people.
I've got no friends at the moment so RUclips is my friend group I hang out in and stay quiet haha.
I have one friend that I miss so much, she is the cure to everything... I've got to create a safe life, and thinking about the RUclips journey as a way to achieve that...
Once I'm not practically homeless lol...
My favorite salad dressing is just extra virgin olive oil, white or apple vinegar, salt, pepper, and any other spices you want. You can shake it up in mason jar or just whisk it together in a bowl with a fork. Please try it. It's absolutely mouthgasmic.
Hey Emma! If you’re looking for some salad inspo, I recommend searching some recipes on pinterest! I always like to experiment a little bit and switch up my greens with some quinoa or bulgur and adding fruits such as oranges, mangoes, dried cranberries or some pomegrenate! Sometimes I add some feta cheese too!
I am learning danish since corona hit, and I do lots of puzzles and crafts and stuff :)
omg thats so cool i didnt know about the producer thing
i produce music in my free time as well and been using this fl studio 11 that i downloaded from torrent for like 6-7 years and i started not knowing anything about chords and scales or anything about music theory and production in general, what i would suggest is listen to as much of the music genre you want to produce as you can to figure out the structure and the basics and after that just start experimenting on top of those fundamentals. thats the beauty of music in my opinion
cheers
Your music sounds so so good Emma!! ❤️
Can’t sleep - find your videos so calming and relaxing !! Hope your well
Thank you! I hope you can sleep soon and have real great dreams!
Hey girl,
I've been getting into salad more lately too, actually!! I try to have one a day :) I've really been enjoying drizzling a tiny bit of maple syrup on my salads!
Also good for you on the working out part, I sadly strained a muscle because of working out too much and gotta heal for a few weeks but keep it up, it's so wholesome during the isolation!!
I've been practicing drawing and getting rid of things I don't really need in my apartment and stuff.
Also ive been staying sane with meditation and walks. ^^
Almost 2 o'clock in the morning here in Germany, I know I should sleep...
But hey, there's a new Tokidoki video! So somehow I have to watch it first 😃
Apparently my sleeping routine isn't working so well 😅
Nice greetings from the other side of the world, I really like your videos!
I love salad. Once Spring hits, I'm all over the salads! My favourite all time salad is Vietnamese coleslaw (Goi Ga). The key is loads of Vietnamese mint and coriander!
2:36 - YOU WATER YOUR PLANTS WITH JUICE!?!
Seriously though, glad to see you safe and sane...well, relatively sane I suppose.
Your videos are always very enjoyable and I find myself looking forwards to them every once in a while 😊 for me personally, the quarantine found me in a place out in the countryside with almost no internet connection... So that was a bit challenging 😅 I hope you are safe and well .. love your videos !! :)
I really like your First Song!🥰
Roast the grapes for a salad. It's such a good addition *chefs kiss*
Good to see you....cheers
I actually own a salad "cook"book called Salad Samurai, which sounds nuts, right? A book about salad?! Who needs that? At least that's what I thought. But let me tell you: It is sooo good. The recipes are so creative!
I tried out Ableton because I was a bit interested in making music but producing and learning a DAW is SO MUCH and so intricate and I kinda came to the conclusion that it was too much for something I didn't have a passion for. I'll stick with learning Final Fantasy 14 lmao
I love your videos so much dude, you’re a ray of sunshine 💕
The Apron poltergeist photobombed at 5:56👻
Love the sad song!
OUTSTANDING LEARNING MUSIC/JAPANESE,,,I ALSO SPENT LIFE ALONE AND IN SOME REAL COOL PARTS OF BACK COUNTRY UT/NV/AZ ETC AND PICKED UP PLAYING THE HARMONICA..VERY REWARDING ,STAY WITH IT,LOVED THE EXIT TUNE...STAY WELL
The songs were great!!! 😍
Wow loved the clips!! Would love to hear more if you release them anywhere!!!
I will share my over-night pickle recipe:
Cucumbers, some vinegar, a little bit of olive oil, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. I fill the container halfway with vinegar, put the other ingredients, and then fill the rest with water. My family also likes to add tomatoes. I brought these to a BBQ the other day and everyone loved them!
Love the glam lewk!
a great sweet kick to salads are dried cranberry
Not sure if I missed it but is Moss still around? Would love an update video! I know dwarf hamsters dont live for too many years though. :(
The first song you showed was really cool sounded very N64!
You are hilarious! Glad you’re keeping well 👏🏼🥳
i don't even know how i'm supposed to feel about hobbies/things to do cuz at first i literally just had video games and i was like oh yeah i definetly need more, but now i got piano, guitar, japanese, video games, video editing, art, skating... oh boy
Definitely important to do things you like and also keep the brain active. Appreciate you sharing your routine and activities. Keep up the great content and have a wonderful day 🙌💯😎👍
I feel like if I start calling it "the washing up" instead of "doing the dishes" I will immediately be more classy like Emma.
Wow, Emma, that sounded really nice!
Your hair is looking exceptionally nice in this video ^_^ Also your songs are so cute! They sound awesome :D That's such a cool hobby!
Oooooooooo Emma have you ever seen Kalimbas? If not google them, I think you’d love to include one in your music making process. They sound like a beautiful music box, and are portable, easy to play etc
Hey gurlllllll yassssssss! Glad you're still awesome and pushing thru
5:45 little bits
I have been cooking and trying new recepise this is how I relax :D hope everyone is doing great and stay safe
