Changed Akihabara

This is a video which shows the places around Akihabara station in Japan.I didn't know that Akihabara became has become so clean recently.So so I took a video to upload on my blogI have uploaded a video to my blog.This is one of sight the sights in Akihabara.

As I was taking this video,I couldn't remember the word which is a noun and very easy except for "movie" I was thinking about another easy word for "movie" but I just couldn't remember it..I meant I knew only remember the word "movie", and I couldn't remember the word "video" and any other way or any other related words.But I have heard of that there was an another better word to say instead of "movie". I know there's a better word for "movie".I wanted to remember the word.

In Akihabara there are much more foreign people than where I live in.So ,so I have decided to ask one of them whom I never know the strangers.It was very embarrassing for me because I'm not used to this kind of situation.I have made this my a mission which I had to do must accomplish.I don't come here often so it's rare to talk to them.(In my living place I cannot see so many foreign people.It's rare.) I don't get the chance to talk to them.Finally I asked a female Caucasian how I can call say "movie" in the other way anather way.She answered some words which I forgot she said but she didn't say "Video". She has given me some a bunch of words,which I have already forgotten, but I know she didn't say "video".Maybe she couldn't a little bit didn't completely understand what I meant.Then I suddenly remember the word,"Video",suddenly before she told me.

After that, I asked her what is the difference between "movie" and "video".She answered,"Movie is bigger."it is I have already imagined.

In the end,I got the word by myself but I have not felt fine.... because I wasn't really satisfied because..... I'm still wondering that if there is a better word.Do you know how to call "Video" in the other way another way.I think it is how they call "You Tube"....I forgot.... Maybe I might just know regardless of my concern remember the word sooner or later. But if you realize the word know which word I'm talking about,please let me know.Thank you. =)

[Video] This is a video which shows (the places) around Akihabara station in Japan. I didn't know (that) Akihabara (became > has become)[so] clean recently. So I took a video to upload on my blog.

(I didn't know Akihabara has become so clean recently so I've uploaded a video to my blog [to show this].)


This is one of (the) sight(s) in Akihabara.

As I was taking this video,I couldn't remember the word which is a noun and very easy except for "movie".

(As I was taking this video, I was thinking about another easy word for "movie" but I just couldn't remember it.)

I meant I knew only "movie",I couldn't remember "video" and any other way.

(I meant I only remembe the word "movie" and I couldn't remember the word "video" or any other related words (or whatnot).

But I have heard of that there was an another better word to say instead of "movie". I wanted to remember the word.

(I know there's a better word for "movie" and I wanted to remember the word).

[*I can't tell you which one's a better word unless I know the context, maybe you meant "film" or "motion picture" or "flick"]


In Akihabara there are much more foreign people than where I live in (, so) I('ve) decided to ask one of (them whom I never know > the strangers)

There are much more foreign people in Akihabara than where I live in, so I've decided to ask one of the strangers (and see if he/she could help me with this).


It was very embarrassing for me because I'm not used to this kind of situation. I('ve) made this (my > a) mission which I (had to do > must accomplish).

I don't come here often so it's rare to talk to them.
(I don't come here often so I don't usually get the chance to talk to them; or,
It's quite rare for me to talk to them because I don't come here often.)

(There aren't so many foreigners in my living area and seeing them is a rare thing there.)

Finally I asked a female Caucasian how I can (call > say) "movie" in (the other way > another way).

She answered some words which I forgot she said but she didn't say "Video".
(She's given me some a bunch of words, which I've already forgotten, but I know she didn't say "video".

Maybe she couldn't a little bit understand what I meant.
(Maybe she didn't completely understand (what I meant/my question).

Then I remember the word,"Video",suddenly before she told me.
(Then I suddenly remember the word "Video" before she told me.)
(Then I suddenly remember the word, "Video", before she told me.)
if you put the , before n' after "video", you're emphasizing that word. > which is perfectly alright to do, just want to point it out.
:)

After that, I asked her what is the difference between "movie" and "video".She answered,"Movie is bigger."it is I have already imagined.
In the end,I got the word by myself

but I have not felt fine....
(but I wasn't really satisfied because...)

because I'm (still) wondering (that > if) there is a better word.

(because I'm still wondering if there's a better word).


Do you know how to call "Video" in (the other way > another way).I think it is how they call "You Tube"....I forgot....

Maybe I might know regardless of my concern.
(Maybe I could remember later on; or, I might just remember the word sooner or later).

[Maybe and might both project a similar meaning, so just pick one or the other.]

But if you realize the word,please let me know.Thank you. =)
(in written English, we wouldn't put "but" in front of a sentence, but since you're writing in a casual way it's aii'rite).

> If you know which word I'm talking about, please let me know, thank you. =)
or, But if you DO know which word I'm talking about, please let me know, thank you. =)


(just a brief explanation)
The difference between a video and a movie is that, a video could be anything you tape with a digital camera, cell phone or a DV. It could be your cat eating, or birds chirping, just anything; on the other hand, a movie is something with a plot (a story) and there are characters in it that usually have their own screen names.

As for youtube, we just call them "Youtube videos". There are also "Youtube movies" but they're not just videos, but videos with stories and characters and so on).

Not sure if that was what you were looking for ~ hehe, lemme know k?
