why do you upload reality videos years after they are first recorded?
not just upload. select and edit. it allows me to make them better, because i know how the story turns out, so i know which things to choose, knowing what has the strongest relevance. and it also allows me to reveal behind the scenes details without giving away future projects. For example, if i released a reality video using journal audio recorded today, you might (for example) hear me talking about how i am definitely building an animatronic giraffe, and i am very excited about it. Well, guess what, if i release something like that, 2 things might happen. 1 is, i might ultimately fail at building the giraffe and have to abandon the project, in which case it would look very embarassing for me, because everyone would know i failed. And also it might be possible that someone could steal my design for animatronic giraffe and rush to beat me at my own idea. That's a fictional example, but here's an actual example, of a reality video that was released relatively soon after it was recorded -- probably recorded soon after history of japan was released, and the reality video was released probably 3 months later. The subject of the video was about making a music album. I thought, at the time, that i was going to make a music album, of songs. I thought that was a good idea at the time. but since then, i have changed my opinion and now i strongly prefer single songs. So those reality videos talking about making an album look pretty silly now, and they also incite a lot of people to ask "where's the album, what happened to the album", but there is no album. If i had waited a bit longer before releasing journals from that time, i surely would not have chosen the album discussions, and would have gone with something else instead
