Transcripts

hi I'm taku May welcome back to

video so where do I start well first I

guess I start with I am sorry I am so

sorry to you guys I know it has been two

months since I last uploaded anything on

this channel video um Demon Slayer it

was and then I kind of just left you

guys hanging and I feel very very bad

about that I really really sorry I know

that people have been worried about me

asking where I've been both on Twitter

and here I have been active on Twitter

so people have been able to WR there but

I haven't been addressing the question

which is where am I why am I not

uploading where have I been what am I up

to am I okay I am okay nothing is wrong

with me so thank you for everyone who

reached out and sent kind words and was

worried about me I'm sorry for worrying

you no I'm completely fine healthwise

and all that um but I do have some

things I want to share with

you yeah um B I didn't want to make this

video I have been holding off I haven't

been able to make it for several reasons

but the biggest one being that I just

didn't want to film it because it's a

tough video to film and but also I have

other situations we're going to explain

which is why this video took so long for

me to make some of you might be aware

from following me on Twitter or from my

um Journey on YouTube that when I

started this channel I was in uni I was

a university student um during the brink

of covid and I was studying medicine and

for the four years I have been uploading

I have been going through medical school

it's 5 years here I began in the end of

my first year and throughout that whole

journey I was uploading videos without

taking more than a 2 week break somehow

I managed and it was tricky with my busy

schedule especially when covid kind of

passed and I was in placements and

things people might be aware of that as

well and that's why I've only be able to

upload two to three videos a week I

never was able to react to everything

that you guys wanted and everything that

I would have liked to because I was busy

with uni and then in may I finished uni

I passed all my exams and in June I

graduated and thank you to everyone who

congratulated me for graduating over on

Twitter I shared a few pictures there

and it was lovely to share that with you

guys and yeah so I graduated and I went

on holiday and then I came out from

holiday and there were a lot of changes

I moved house I don't actually live in

this house anymore which is one of the

reasons that I took so long to film this

I wanted to film this with my normal

background so I waited until I came to

visit home before I did that um so I've

moved and I'm in a new place it's

unfamiliar to me and along with that I

started working as a doctor and that has

been quite a journey to get accustomed

to being a doctor going from a medical

student to a doctor it's a big jump yeah

a lot of changes so now that I'm a

doctor I mean I was telling you guys it

was already quite hectic while I was

studying but being a doctor means that I

have a very very limited amount of free

time much less than I used to when I'm

working I get exhausted by the end of

the day I have no time for anything and

then on my days off I spend them resting

and seeing friends what catching up on

anime like one piece of me binging when

I'm off and just kind of spending time

for myself and the people that I care

about and because of that I just how do

I say

this I don't really have the time for

YouTube anymore from the beginning I had

no idea where this channel was going to

go from my reviews to my reactions

starting with rezero and continuing and

how big the channel go I know I'm still

kind of a baby channel compared to

others but I have a lovely Community

here that I've grown with you guys and I

never expected to make it this far or to

keep doing reactions for this long and

to enjoy it as much as I have but I have

but I'm just not able to keep up anymore

you know I I don't want to say goodbye

but I just don't have the time to commit

to YouTube I can't keep up at regular

schedule my timetable is different week

to week currently all my days that I

work are 12 and 1/2 hours um so I work 3

to 4 days a week and then I have days

off that's how it is right now it'll

change later to being like 9 to5 and

also 12 and a half hour shifts and

having less days off and that's why I

just can't commit to a schedule with you

guys and that's why it really hurts to

say but yeah I'm quitting

YouTube and and I'm getting emotional

about it now I I never wanted to say

goodbye I never even thought about it

but I think a part of me knew that when

uni was over and I was going to step

into the world of adult life being a

doctor which is what my dream was and is

I would have to let go of YouTube and

like I said I never thought I would get

this big and I'd have to say goodbye to

how many are we 37,000 of you and I'm

sorry I really am like I didn't want to

make this video because I know I'd be

disappointing so many people I hate to

disappoint you guys you guys who have

been waiting for my reactions have been

standing by me have been there since day

one I know some of you have been there

since the beginning and I can't tell you

how much that means to me I love every

single one of you and you guys gave me

so much you don't even know like when I

had no one to talk to about anime you

guys were there when I wanted to share

and Rave and Fang girl like crazy you

guys were there to listen to me and

engage with me and your comments and

likes and Views meant the absolute word

to me especially the comments to

everyone who's ever commented thank you

so so much I have loved interacting with

you you guys are such a big part of my

life especially when it comes to anime

which is such a big part of my life as

is and there are people who stand out to

me profiles from the beginning that I

recognize and ones who joined along the

way and have been so interactive with me

have been talking to me through here

through Twitter everyone who dm' me on

Twitter just say they like my videos it

means the absolute world to me and I

can't thank you guys enough for these

four more than 4 years we celebrated 4

years in May it's been 4 years and a few

months and I can't thank you guys enough

for for this time that I spent on

YouTube for being such a lovely

Community you guys are actually the best

and that's why I'm so sad to have to

disappoint you guys and to say that

there'll be no more reactions whether I

ever come back or not I can't really say

there are things that I would have loved

to be able to react to like rezero which

is coming back next season and I S my

reactions are rezero I would have loved

to reaity I really wanted to but I just

can't you know it's out with my control

I just this is the path that I chose I

guess so is because of my choices but I

am enjoying being a doctor it's been

great like achieving um what I wanted to

do all along and going through five

years of medicine and finally G to work

and help people you know picture chopper

from One Piece I'm Chopper right now but

I'm not stealing the Seas and I don't

have um as exciting a life as Chopper

does but I'm a doctor and I'm happy with

being a doctor I'm really really happy

and accept why this is the way things

have to be that would mean a lot to me
