@im_kyle_metcalf: 10 months ago I met Takashi-san at a park. He invited me into his home, we talked for hours, and the video went viral. After that I tried calling him. Texting him. No response. (Many times) I didn’t know if something had happened. I didn’t know if the attention made him uncomfortable. I didn’t want to keep calling if he was avoiding me, so I stopped. Then life moved fast. I went back to America. Moved to Tokyo. Winter came and went. But when spring came around I thought, I could try again… I went back to the park. He wasn’t there. I had no idea what to do. And then I found out my Apple photos tracked location of previous photos/ videos taken… I went back through my camera roll, matched the building from the original video, and found the address. I showed up. Called different rooms. And he answered. Nothing had changed. Same warmth. Same kindness. Same man. For those wondering, not everyone I meet becomes content. There are people from my videos I still talk to, still visit, that I’ve never posted about and never will. I don’t want anyone to feel like our connection only exists because I had a camera. So a lot of it stays private. But Takashi-san, I’m grateful he was home that day and was happy to make another video with me. 🙇♂️ Part 3 coming soon 🤍

カイルのコメント全部読んだ。コンテンツとしてじゃなくて出会った人ひとりひとりとまだ繋がりを持ち続けてるのがすごく誠実で人として尊敬する。視聴者に日本語を勉強しながら日本人とのやりとりをする様子を共有してくれることももちろん嬉しいけど、その人たちとカイルの繋がりがまだ続いている事実を知れてもっと嬉しい。

Seeing this reminds me of a patient I knew from my previous job. We spent many times together and spoke a lot of life in general and everything he did in his life. He’s passed now but I remember the great times we had together. Cherish this friendship you’ve made and I hope to see another video of you two together ❤️
