インスタ考察 / Thoughts on Instagram

こんにちは!

 

Hellos and welcome, dear readers!

 

相変わらずSNS

悩まされているタカペンです(笑)

 

As per usual, here's yours truly, wracking her brains on how to use social media platforms. Yeah, you can say I'm a dinosaur, even though I'm a penguin!

 

とゆーか今週は

ずっと最近色々と

SNSについて思うことを

ばーっと書いてく予定です!

 

So this week, I'm likely going to be writing a lot about social media platforms!

 

一番手はインスタさんです!

 

The first batter up is Instagram!

 

インスタで動画の宣伝 / Directing to YouTube Video in Instagram

さて、いつもインスタの

使い方をわかっていなくて

とにかく何かあげないとーって

お空の写メをあげてるのですが

 

I seriously have no idea what to do with Instagram. I mean I got the account because I felt that I needed to get one if I want to become a youtaite. But since I have no clue what I'm supposed to do on Instagram, I'm usually just taking random pics of the sky and posting them. No hashtag, no followers, no nothing.

 

どうやら歌ってみたの動画も

宣伝用にあげるのかもしれない?

どうなの?

 

However, when I was preparing to upload my third translyrics cover song video, it occurred to me. Shouldn't I be posting something on Instagram?

 

と思って、第三弾にして

初めてインスタに宣伝してみました

 

So I checked what people were doing, and tried posting an announcement about my YouTube video on Instagram as well.

A post shared by Taka Pen (@takapenlyrics)

 

結果、10件のいいねをもらって

びっくりしました・・・!!!

 

I got 10 likes the first day, which was a pleasant surprise!

 

なるほど・・・インスタにも

ハッシュタグあるんだ・・・!!!

と初めて気づいたタカペンでした えへ

 

I hadn't realized that you can also use hashtags on Instagram... Yeah, I know. It's a social media platform. Of course it's got hashtags....!

 

インスタの使い方 / How to Use Instagram

ただ問題は、YouTube動画の宣伝には

あまり向いてないんだな~と

リンクを張ったりYouTube動画を

埋め込んだりできないので

YouTubeでこんなことしてるよ~

と宣伝しても

わざわざ行くの面倒にしかみえない

 

The only thing about it was that you can't post a link to the YouTube video. You can certaily include the URL, but that's just it, it's not a link. So who would want to copy and paste the URL to go watch a video? Especially if you're on a smartphone....

 

となるとどう使えばいいんだろう?

 

So then... how on earth do I use Instagram as a cover-singer-wannabe?

 

他の歌ってみたさんたちは

弾き語りを投稿してる

 

I see other people mostly posting themselves singing along with a guitar or keyboards accompaniment...

 

でも

 

But

 

わたくし、タカペンは

 

I, yours truly,

 

弾き語りできません

 

am unable to accompany myself with an instrument.

 

ギターも弾けないし

ピアノは幼少期に

ブルグミュラー

始めたとこで終わってます

 

I don't play the guitar and I can barely play the piano with two hands...!

 

バイオリン弾けるけど・・・

バイオリンって伴奏には向いてない

 

I am at an intermediate level with the violin, but I'm not so sure that the violin is an ideal instrument to accompany singing with. lol

 

となると

 

So then...

 

できるのは

 

I could maybe do...

 

鼻歌だけかしら(笑)

 

Humming or a very wavery a capella...? :)

 

なので、もしかしたら

翻訳して歌ってみた動画の

合間に、インスタで

鼻歌録ってみた動画でも

あげるかもしれません(笑)

 

So inbetween my YouTube videos, I might possibly try uploading a wobbly a capella on Instagram. Maybe. 

 

 

さて! インスタについてはここまで!

お読みくださりありがとうございます!

 

And that's it for Instagram! Thanks for reading this far!

 

次のSNS記事でお会いしましょう!

 

See you in my next article about another social media platform!

 

ではではっ!

 

Taka, out!
