I finally found the place where I can be myself. MOE at KUDEN　　「やっと見つけた自分らしく居られる場所」 

I'm so glad there was a link to her speech! I really wanted to watch it. Her speech is really inspirational, she really is an incredible woman.

She is actually a really good speaker. She had no blunders and was talking calmly and clearly all the time.

I’m a bit shy to admit, that I read Moe-san all wrong. I love her videos, but I figured she grew up in a well off home, and that as a beautiful, married, finacially well off person she didn’t have any struggles or worries. I didn’t think about her as a person with struggles besides the tiredness of motherhood. I’m surprised to hear her story and how honest she was in this presentation, and I’m super glad to have heard it and that she got this opportunity to share her story honestly.

Social media is overrun by "influencers" and "content creators". Moe on the other hand is simply a beautiful mother and wife who happens to share a part of her life with us online but that sincere simplicity is what makes her special. She's such a wonderful person and it's so refreshing to see.

We should thank Paolo fromTOKYO for giving Moe an opportunity to express herself here on youtube

Kimono Mom subscriber here. Moe brought us here. Thanks KUDEN for giving us an opportunity to here our Mom's story.

I have to give Paolo From TOKYO an honourable mention in guiding me to subscribe to Kimono Mom. I have enjoyed Moe's cooking, insight into wearing Kimono and the sights and sounds of a vibrant Japan and most importantly into Moe's treasured family life. Moe is truly an inspiration and beautiful soul.

To think she ended her relationship with her ex-husband because she didn’t feel herself and he was supportive of her choice. He was a good man, may he rest in peace. Now today Moe seems happy and herself. I enjoy hearing her story.

The fact that she learnt English from nothing and being fluent now is freaking amazing. How the heck does she juggle with raising a child, youtube and learning English. Im speechless.

As she said in her vlog, i didn't not expect her life story to be like this :( she's a very strong woman!

She is so beautiful 🕊 I follow her RU-vid channel but was suprised by her life story.

I thought she had an easy life, was raised in a wealthy but educated family with strict rules so that she can be a dedicated wife and mom. But oh wow I was so wrong. Her story is inspiring and it brings tears to my eyes. Moe is so strong, independent, smart, beautiful and well-articulated. She is a hero in my heart :)

Moe's ex-husband seemed to be a really loving and understanding person. May his soul rest in peace. Their marriage might have ended early, but he surely helped in making Moe the woman she is today. Now we have Moe, Moto, and Sutan, a lovely family.

I'm so proud of Moe, that must have took a lot of courage to do. When I give presentation I get scared and freeze up a lot. I'm very glad that we got to know her a lot better today💞

One of the highlights for me in her channel is how she persevered to take a video while trying to bring home a new bike and a crying Sutan. I was also very surprised that she edits this video after a long day of child rearing and home making. After hearing her story, I realized how she persevered and does her best all her life. Thank you for sharing your story. You are an inspiration.

I didn't expect to get emotional but I almost cried when Moe started speaking of the effect her RU-vid Channel had on her. It's weird thinking about it, but the fact us viewers from all over the world could help her feel comforted or motivated even through the language barrier, even though we're complete strangers, somehow it made me choke up. It's almost like having a friend reveal they had been suffering secretly for some time, but you unknowingly eased their pain and helped them heal. What a wonderful woman she is! And Moto a great husband, he was more nervous than her for this speech, haha! I'm so glad we get to share such inspiring stories through the internet like this. So meaningful to be a part of it.

I'm a guy and got a little teary eyed with Moe's speech. Moe is a very strong soul.

the foreign youtuber she mention is "Paolo from tokyo".

もえさん、お若いのにすごく濃い人生を生きてこられたのですね。感動的なスピーチでした。強くて美しい女性だと思います。。お母様の厳しさも受け止めて歯を食いしばって頑張られたのですね。真面目に、真摯にすべてのことと向き合ってきたからの、強さなんだなあ。

１人の母が世界中に日本の文化を伝えていると思ったら凄い....

Moe's mother is also a real champ. We all need someone to push us to be responsible with our actions and do our best.

I'm a huge fan of Moe but after listening to her wonderful story and her vulnerable side, I'm a full-blown air conditioner.

取り返しのつかない失敗も 自分にとっての 財産だと、その言葉が 心にささりました。 娘を亡くして 10年。 初めて 悲しみが財産であると 思えるようになりそうです。 もえさん、これからも応援してます。あなたのおかげで これからの人生が 少し 軽くなりそうです。ありがとう。 お互いに 楽しみながら 生きていきましょう！

実は、前々から、Moeさんの過去の動画で、Moeさんがすぅちゃんに、『幸せになるには覚悟がいるんやで。』って、ポロっと言っていた一言が、いつまでも私の心に残っていて、この方っていったいどんな人生を歩んできていた方だったのだろうか？と、こころのどこかで気になっておりました。 今回Moeさんの自叙伝を語るプレゼンの動画を観させていただき、Moeさんのお話に、何度も涙ぐんでしまう場面がありました。 私はカリフォルニア在住１１歳の息子を育てているシングルマザーです。シングルマザーになった時息子はまだ３歳でした。 ～　これや！と思うと、突き進んでいって、すぐに現実の壁にぶち当たってきた私。その節目節目に、『自分の人生やから責任持ちなさい。』っていう言葉に支えられてきました。～ ～自由になりたいと願ったこと。～ ～今まで経験してきたこと全てが私の財産です。 画面の向こう側で共感して、世界中にいる励ましてくれる視聴者さんの皆さんのお陰で、やっと自分らしく居られる居場所がやっと見つかったような気がしています。～ Moeさんの上にあげた言葉は、特に私のこころを動かしてくれました。 ありがとうございます。 私も平坦ではない人生をこれまで送ってきましたが、今ようやく自分らしく居られる居場所創りを本格的に始動しております。 そんな最中に、このMoeさんのスピーチと出遭い、こころうたれました。 私もMoeさんのように、早く自分らしく居られる居場所を構築したいなぁ♪という私の想いの励みとさせていただくMoeさんのスピーチでした。 ありがとうございました！ すぅちゃん、あんなにちっちゃくても、どこかすでにしっかりと自分を持っている風貌があって、すごいなって思います。本当に良い子でめっちゃめちゃ可愛い子ですね♪ Moeさんがすぅちゃんを夫に観てもらって外出して返ってきたとき、『あぁ、こんなに可愛いなんて、知ってたの？』ってぽろっと出ている言葉だったり、夫そして娘さん、家族との愛情あふれる生活感がいつも癒されます。 これからもMoeさんの生活を綴った動画楽しみに観させていただきます。 Moeさん、応援してます♪

When she narrated the story of her ex-husband I could see the pain in her eyes, it gave me a sharp pain behind my throat too. You did what you had to, and it's the right decision because you wouldn't be where you are today if it wasn't for that experience.

I won't even pretend like there is some one cutting onions, I'm actually crying so hard right now.

I genuinely thought her current husband was the one she met while working as a Maiko and made her quit. I'm shocked she went through so many difficult events, especially considering how young she is, but looking at her personally I guess I should somehow expect it. She has always given me the impression she's caring because she knows the true value of what she has. I really love her, her family and videos, and she makes my week brighter with each new recipe or vlog. I really hope she's happy now, and that she would never stress about her job because of us. 💖

私は、日本の会社で働いている　韓国人です。 最近、会社でストレス溜まってイライラしたり　するけれど 家に帰ってきてモエさんの動画をみたら別の世界に来た感じ⁇ 明るくて、楽しくて　幸せになります。 これからも、日本のいろんな事どんどん見せてください。

I'm a fan of her and definitely waiting for her YT every week. You are an extraordinary and a wonderful wife and mom and as a person you are baeautiful. Keep going and wishing the best of you always.. Love from Indonesia!

Moe is such an inspiring individual and discovering her RU-vid channel was one of the best things to happen to me in 2020 ❤️

お母様はきっと、「帰っておいで」って喉まで出かかったでしょうね。子供がいる身としては、涙なしには見られませんでした。

Moe was worried about hearing things we had never heard about her before. But my admiration for her has grown even more. It must have taken a lot of courage to talk about her more vulnerable moments... I am so proud of Moe!

Wow, I first watched you at Paolo from Tokyo, but I didn't know that this inspired you in started your own channel! I love how cute and charming is you and your family, and I always show your channel for everybody. I'm always waiting for your videos, please continue to make them! 😄

I'm here to support Moe. I'm a huge fan of her RU-vid channel and I love her, Moto, and Sutan. Great speech Moe!

めちゃ感動しました😭もえさんの話を聞いて、自分ももっと頑張らなくてはいけないと思います。 日本人と結婚しているベトナム人です。今ベトナムに住んでいるので、旦那に日本料理を作りたかったので、作り方をネットで沢山調べました。もえさんのが一番分かりやすいので、助かりました。いつも見て旦那に作りました。

If I understand anything about Japanese culture, is that feelings aren't easily shared. For her to go on stage to share such a raw story and open up like is incredible. I am proud to say I was one for her very first subscribers!

I came here from the latest Kimono Mom video. I'm so impressed by Moe, by her tenacity and heart. I'm an even bigger fan of hers after watching this video 😊

I think it's a true underestimation of what Moe's channel is - it's so much more than just Japanese cooking, it's about family and love. I feel like reducing it to just recipes and cooking is belittling the soothing, friendly effect her videos have in my life. I watch for the lovely human touch she has on her family's life and others.

She is so brave to tell her story for everyone, even her deep regrets and difficult times, it is really inspiring! From her channel she seems to have a princess' life, but really she is a very hard worker who had reinvented her life multiple times until she found her dream lifestyle. Brava!

I’m crying right now, Moe is such a beautiful, graceful and intelligent woman. May your ex-husband rest in paradise, he must have been a wonderful person. Now Moe has such a loving family. Moto is a supportive husband and I can tell that he loves you very much and Sutan is such a beautiful and cute baby girl. I wish Moe, Moto and Sutan the best of all this world could give.

Wow! What a vulnerable, honest and brave story, Moe! You have immense courage to share your most intimate feelings thoughts, loves and regrets with the world. You're a strong woman, and I'm very proud of you. Strength comes with pain, regret and hardships, but also with joys, growth and love. Thank you.

Moe is just beautiful inside and out 🥺

Aw Moe, she was holding her tears the whole time :( , her story is truly moving and really shows what she endured to become the bright and amazing person she is now

“everything that I experienced is an asset” Wonderfully said Moe-san ✨✨✨✨✨

Excellent story ! This is like TED TALKS Conferences except I am still awake at the end

You are incredibly strong for sharing this and I'm so grateful that you did. We may not have the same life experiences but the feelings that you described are all feelings I've struggled with over the last couple of years. Hearing your story makes me want to keep trying my best to be responsible for my own life and to keep learning from my challenging experiences. This was a beautiful speech I will definitely come back to in the future. Thank you for sharing your story

I never imagined she went throughout this. Moe's ex-husband sounded like a very supportive person, realising they weren't meant for eachother and supporting her to stand on her own. I'm so happy she is doing well now!

Moe is such so strong. Everything she went through led her to where she is today, with Moto her wonderful husband, Sutan her adorable daughter, and a RU-vid community (that includes myself) made up of people from all over the world who are so honored to be allowed to share a small part of her life. Beautiful speech and story, Moe! You are to be admired.

Oh god, I cried buckets 😭 this just makes me appreciate her more!

Everyone has a story behind them. I have more respect for Moe after hearing where she came from. Her story is really inspiring. Had to fight to hold back my tears. All the best to her and her family. May her dreams come true. ❤️

"everything i experienced is my asset." - wisdom and grace from a beautiful soul. thank you, moe for sharing your life story.

全てのコメントが、英語で、唯一、日本語でコメントする事にためらいなががらも、Moeさんのスピーチにとても感動したので、シェアします。 私は、普段、息子からの勧めで、Kimono Momの動画を観ています。まさか、背後にまだお若いながらも、こんなにも多くのご苦労をされていたとは、 思いませんでした。今までの苦労が、今日の幸せな家庭に、いつまでも、いつまでも繋がります様に。

Thank you for sharing your story. Your videos always add a brightness to the day when released, so I’m glad your viewers are able to do that for you too. I hope you are also able to find or continue your hobbies beyond your channel and parenthood so that you may not only have joy to share with others, but joy that is exclusively yours or that can refresh you when things seem tough. You’re wonderful, keep on going, you’re doing great! You don’t always have to be perfect, it’s normal to make mistakes and I hope that you can always find both internal and external happiness. I hope as you continue on your journey us subscribers can stay with you 😁😁 happy new year!

She did so well even thou she was nervous. proud of her 😆

泣いてしまった😭もえさんみたいに強くなりたい🙏🏾

簡潔にスピーチで話されていましたが、沢山の経験を積んでいろんな想いをしてこられた方だなって聴いていて伝わってきました。これからもスータンと旦那様と朗らかにのびのびと素敵なご家庭を築いていってください。

As a woman, although of course my life story is different, the emotions and feelings are very relatable. Thank you Moe for sharing your story as a woman, a wife, a mother.

Moe is a true inspiration and I can only hope to have half the courage she has. I am so pleased that I can say I am a fan of someone so impressive.

Have followed Moe since the beginning and made her recipes in my Canadian home. She’s brought our home happiness after a missed return trip to our happiest travel destination, Japan. Thanks Moe! And her story just increases my appreciation for the love and care into her content :)

拝見させて頂きました。 正直、涙が出ました。 とてもとても感動しました。 あーんなに長い長い文章をしっかり覚えスピーチしたことにも驚きでしたが、ありのままを今回聞くことが出来て、嬉しかったです。 経験から学び　次に活かす。 人はその繰り返しですが、スーちゃんのママさんには叶いません。 育児をしながらYou Tube発信をすると決め、一生懸命取組む姿そのものに、改めて感動しました。 自分への厳しさも学びます。 いつも楽しく拝見させて頂いてますので、これからも応援させて下さい! 同じく子育てをしている者として、心からのエールを贈ります。 頑張ってください!そして頑張りましょう！

もえちゃん68歳のおばちゃんです！もえちゃんのチャンネルから飛んできました 本当に泣くほどに感激しました。もえちゃんに出会えて良かったです。これからも応援します

Moe, you are a special lady. You do yourself proud. Your beauty is within yourself. I enjoy watching you and Sutan cooking together. She is going to learn so much from you. You are a inspiration to other people well done keep going 👍

The way she paused at the part of the story where her mum tells her to stay and accomplish what she set out to do! I could feel her pain and the moment of realisation of how difficult it is to achieve something in life and how many sacrifices we have to make ❤ love moe, moto and sutan. They are the perfect family to me. For me her past is very special as it shaped her into the women she is today! Moe really connects to her audience and makes an effort to speak to her audience through her vlogs. I have been her follower since she came in Paulos Channel. I loved the interruptions of Sutan and I did wonder where moto is in the first few episodes and my joy doubled when he started becoming a part of it. It gives me great happiness to see their family grow and thrive each day. What happened with moe during her childcare years happens to most of the women in the world. We feel isolated and alone in our tasks and unappreciated too . Its important that we don't let ourselves become lost in all our responsibilities but also set apart time for self care and self love so that we are happy doing what we do!

My respect for this woman just skyrocketed.

She is such an inspiration. Her life story really had me tearing up. Never in a million years would I have expected it. This woman is the definition of a strong woman. Moesan you are amazing!!!

Wow. What a wonderful talk. I often thought you sounded wiser than your young years, and now, I know why. We love your videos, Moe-san! And, we love what you share and all the time you take to entertain and educate us. We love seeing your husband and Sutan-chan, too. Thank you so much for sharing your story with us. You are strong, courageous, beautiful and funny, too!💜🙏🏻

I love Moe's channel but hearing this story was very suprising. I find her very strong for going through all of this and sharing it with us. I'm happy as a viewer that we could take part in who she is today

ぎゃん泣きです。

I got teary eyes when she talk about her struggle as maiko n cried so hard when she told about her 1st husband story... maybe he knew he didn't have more time left so he agreed to let her go... 😞😞😞

I am single without any child, but I really like Moe's videos. The attitudes and lifestyles she presents in her video is really beautiful and lovely. ARIGADOU Moe.

世界中の頑張っているお母さん大尊敬です😭

アメリカからモエさんを応援しています！人生のストーリーを聞いて頂いて、本当にありがとうございます！✨

Im so proud of Moe. She is a great example of women’s hardships and how we can prevail and find what makes us happy. ❤️

Where my boys and girls from her channel at? edit- added girls

私はすべての女性が彼女の闘争のユニークな物語を持っていると信じています。萌え、ずっと素晴らしくて強かったです。あなたの話は、人生の困難に直面している他の女性を刺激します。それを望む人にはいつも良い時が来るでしょう。

いろいろご苦労なさって、輝いていらっしゃるのだと思いました。 明るい英語で楽しい気持ちになり、さらにお料理も作ろうと思え、私は3人の娘の子育ては終わりになります。長女は22歳,次女19歳,三女15歳、自分の子育ての振り返りも出来、得られるものが多いRU-vidチャンネルと思っています。 今後のご活躍を期待楽しみにしています！すーちゃんの表情がとてもいいですね！

話し方が上手で情景が目に浮かび泣けました。一層ファンになりました。

ご両親様との繋がり、以前に結婚されていた方のお気持ち、、もう涙なしには聞けませんでした。お母様のカレーは私自身も自分の母が自分が辛くて泣いていた時に作ってくれたドーナッツが今でも忘れられないのと同じ、母の言葉以上の応援を感じます。今のMoeさんが発信する原動力は愛そのものですね。これからも応援しております。

"it is your life so if that is what you decided, take responsibility and work hard" I wish my parents would say this to me.

This is so inspiring! Thank you, Moe!!

人生の最期を1人にしてしまった、取り返しのつかない後悔、この言葉で涙が出てしまいました。 でも、生きている限り、前に進むしかない。 素敵な今のご主人に巡り会えて、可愛いすーちゃんも産まれて。 やっぱり、生きているって素晴らしい、と感じました。 もえさん、これからもずっとずっと応援してます！

あなたの人生の美しい物語、着物ママ！共有していただきありがとうございます！Beautiful story of your life, Kimono Mom!! Thank you very much for sharing it with us!

彼女はとてもインスピレーションを与えてくれる人です。あなたの人生の物語を話してくれてありがとう。私はあなたと家族にとって良いことだけを願っています ! ! !

Such an amazing story, Moe-chan! You've come so far! Keep on going!

Moe, Sutan, and Moto are the reason my wife and I started our own RU-vid channel. The fluidness she shows on her channel, the patience with her daughter and the amazing relationship between her and Moto just keep us coming back for more. Her adversity thus far has created this amazing individual and her family for the world to enjoy their life through them. Well deserved.

Moe I'm so proud of you! 💛💛💛 I'm so touched by your story, your strength, and your honesty, I'm actually crying tears right now 😭. Thank you always for everything that you do. We love you and are with you every step of the way on your beautiful and brave journey of life. Congratulations for your excellent speech and all your succeses! You deserve every happiness. 💛💛💛💛

This is amazing! So proud of you, Moe.

Moe ‘s inner and outer beauty is one of a kind! 👸🏻 Her strength of character and personality moves me! 👨‍👩‍👧 Moe is an asset not just to Japan, but to the world! ❤ 💫

I couldn’t stop crying while listening to her. She is a strong women💪

Moe, you are a natural speaker and entertainer! I feel very proud of you. You have dignity and class. 👑

すごい、そんなストーリーがあったんや、、 煌びやかな人ってだけやと思ってました お客さんとして旦那さんと出逢って、亡くして若くして二度目の結婚… 素晴らしいですね もえさん本間に素敵です

モエさん、素晴らしいスピーチでした。いつも動画拝見しています。これからも応援しています。ありがとうございます。

You are such a strong woman! Inspiring!!! Thank you for sharing your story :)

Moe you are absolutely fantastic, great presentation. What a life! After watching Paolo channel about you. I have begun to be your fan. Regards from Poland :)

とても素晴らしいスピーチでした‼ 着物を着てる訳、分かりました😊 一生懸命 頑張ってきたんですね。 なんか、「私も頑張んなきゃな‼」と思いました。 これからも応援します！

that was beautiful Moe!!!!

I loved Kimono Mom’s speech. It was very well articulated and I could learn more about her. I will keep on supporting her and her family ❤️

Did not expect this from Moe, she's a strong one

The speech that Moe held left such an impression on me. I knew her from her channel, but listening to her lifestory just amazed and inspired me to work hard as well. I'm so proud she overcame hardships and obstacles in her life and it's so fulfilling to watch her videos that simply spark happiness and joy. What a strong and beautiful woman you are, dear Moe! Much love and support from Germany ☀️

So proud of you Moe! You inspire us ❤️❤️
