How to say “Subscribe to my channel!” in Japanese. Social media greetings in Japanese.

Andy

I made a Youtube channel and introduced American food to Japanese viewers. I want to say “Subscribe to my channel” at the end of the video.

How can I say it??

Masa

That’s a good question, Andy!

When it comes to Youtube channels, you can say

“チャンネル登録(とうろく)お願(ねが)いします！”

チャンネル登録(とうろく) means “subscribing to the channel.” When you say “subscribe to my channel” in Japanese, you don’t need to put “私(わたし)の,” which means “my,” before チャンネル登録(とうろく)お願(ねが)いします because viewers already know which channel you want them to subscribe.

Some other ways to say, “Subscribe to my channel,”

・チャンネル登録(とうろく)忘(わす)れないでね！
　Don’t forget to subscribe to my channel!

・チャンネル登録(とうろく)よろしく！
　Please subscribe to my channel!

・動画(どうが)を気(き)に入(い)ってくれたらチャンネル登録(とうろく)お願(ねが)いします！
　If you like my video, please subscribe to this channel!!

・チャンネル登録(とうろく)して頂(いた)ければ有(あ)り難(がた)いです！
　 I’d appreciate it if you subscribed to my channel!! 

Andy

Wow, there are lots of ways to say the phrase. By the way, how can I say,

“Hit the like button!” in Japanese?

Masa

“Hit the like button” is ”いいねボタンを押(お)してください.”

いいね＝Like
押(お)す＝Push, Hit

・いいねボタン押(お)すのを忘(わす)れずに！
Don’t forget to hit the like button!

・いいねボタンよろしく！
　Please hit the like button!

・いいねボタン押(お)て頂(いた)ければ有(あ)り難(がた)いです！
　 I’d appreciate it if you hit the like button! 

The alternative words of ”いいねボタン.”
1. 高評価(こうひょうか) = Good reputation, high rating
2. グッドボタン　＝　Good button

・高評価(こうひょうか)押(お)すのを忘(わす)れずに！
Don’t forget to hit the like button!

・グッドボタン押(お)すのを忘(わす)れずに！
Don’t forget to hit the like button!

Masa

Usually, Youtubers say “subscribe to my channel!” and “hit the like button!” together.

・チャンネル登録(とうろく)といいねボタンを忘(わす)れずに！
   Don’t forget to subscribe to my channel and hit the like button!

・チャンネル登録(とうろく)といいねボタンよろしくお願(ねが)いします！
Please subscribe to my channel and hit the like button!

Masa

Lastly, let’s watch one of the most popular YouTubers in Japan and see how he says, “subscribe to my channel!”

・是非(ぜひ)、チャンネル登録(とうろく)、よろしければ、お願(ねが)いします！
　Please, subscribe to my channel!

・この動画(どうが)グッドボタンもお忘(わす)れなくパチーンとお願(ねが)いします！
　Don’t forget to hit the like button on this video!

Masa

He speaks fast and uses some onomatopoeia like “パチーン.”

So, it might be hard to catch up on what he says.

Andy

Okay, thank you for teaching me, Masa!!

I’ll do my best on my YouTube channel!

Masa
