  1. Nai mono wa tsukuru shika nai.

    Nai     non-existence or non-availabilityy

    mono  thing

    wa      is

    tsukuru  produce or establish

    sika nai = dakega aru      only what i can do

    What you gonna do if there's nothing what you need???

    Only what i can do is producing something new by myself!!!


  2. we have no other choice but to make (grow).

    it is our only choice to make.

    There are no way except to make it.

  3. Let's say...you live in Japan, and you've been trying to cook some American food. But you can't find some products that you used to buy to make the food when you were in the states. But you are in Japan and you can't find the products. But you really really want to eat the American food. So what are you going to do? You have no choice to make it from scratch.

    On the video, they are basically saying that if they can't find the beer they want, they need to make it from scratch by themselves.  

    *BTW, I didn't see the whole video, but just the beginning.

    Anyway,  tsukuru means make

    shikanai means have no choice (but make it from scratch)

    Japanese language omit a subject so in English the sentence can be: we have no choice but make it from scratch by ourselves or we have no choice but make a new one by ourselves.

  4. this is honestly a really good story but ima go jump  into a bottomless pit now

  5. All I can do is make a new one myself! would be the best english translation I can think of.
