If you’re a fan of Japanese music and live outside of Japan, I would be so grateful if you take a moment to read this🙏 If you’ve ever wondered why more Japanese artists don’t reach out and do shows & tours overseas, the reason is pretty simple and the main one is the hurdle of selling tickets. There is only a SMALL percentage of artists that can rely on the power of big labels/agents to promote their shows internationally. Even in Japan, selling out shows is a lot more challenging than in past years, due to people just being satisfied with digital content. And considering it costs even more to bring a tour overseas, you can imagine how many artists are willing to LOSE money by doing so, if any. It’s not just about the artist not being popular or sufficient enough, or that they don’t have the will to bring their content to fans around the world. In fact, there are so many fellow artists around me that I highly respect, telling me they wish they could do shows overseas, but know it’s not realistically possible, and as someone who yearns for the same thing, it really, really hurts inside. More importantly, it hurts most that fans around the world will often never ever be able to see a show of their favorite Japanese artist. I’m not trying to ask for pity, nor demand anything, unless this resonates with you. But if it does, and you want to know what you can do to help us reach you with our music, it’s really very simple. Please go follow artist’s socials. Please go subscribe to their Youtube channels. Please find them on Spotify. Please interact with them by commenting and letting them know you’re there to support them. Please share your passion with the people around you. AND PLEASE, don’t miss the opportunity to buy a ticket and GO to their shows, when that miraculous opportunity comes, whether it’s a solo or event stage. I am not exaggerating when I say it IS a miracle and it might never happen again. I know writing all this isn’t gonna change much, but I just hope it reminds you that every listener, every fan, every second of support matters in keeping music alive, particularly in this generation. Thanks for listening, if you made it this far🫶 Let’s keep Rocking On. NANO

People point out fighting games as being hard to get into, but I really do believe that the only roadblock most people genuinely run into is the fact that if you lose it is completely your fault.

@GrgiekbltVT Dimmies and the chicken salt 🤌 Reckon I could smash like 50 of these bad boys

@AirinTV Thank you ❤️ Hopefully its a tenhou ryuuiisou for you on the next game 🥳

Tl;dr for those who can't read: Advice for employed Vtubers. --- May I have your attention please? May I have your attention please? Will a Vtuber with a job please stand up? And no, I don't mean you vtube as a job, I mean someone like me, who lives paycheck to paycheck, who prays for the sweet release of death on the daily. Listen, I've seen many Vtubers post advice for growing. 3 shorts a day, streaming every day, constant content and networking. Well, that's all fine and dandy, for all you young and unemployed folk. Cause while they can grind every day, making their dreams a reality, we're at work, trying not to think about blowing our own head off. Or the head of anyone who tried to stop us. Y'all heard of the Male Vtuber Debuff. But let me introduce you all to the Worker Debuff (TM). For us, who don't have the time to do all that crazy stuff, growing can be hard. It can feel impossible. Especially if you see this as more than a hobby. Sure, maybe you can squeeze in a 2-3 hour stream, maybe a short here or there. But you feel yourself being left in the dust, especially when you watch a newbie skyrocket past you when you've been at this for years. So I'm going to give you all some advice tailored to you, as someone who understands. Be aware of your market. As a jaded worker, you're likely to have different experiences, moods and talking points from someone younger or someone unemployed. For example, I talk about work, day to day adult life, and I drag in all those who feel the same. Stop marketing to the oversaturated vtuber fan market, odds are they won't find you relatable anyways. Not the hardcore ones. Start marketing to likeminded folk, who understand, who get it, who won't mind if you go a few weeks without streaming because they know how it fucking is. Secondly, only create when you want to create. Nothing kills your channel more than forcing yourself because you feel left behind. Pump those breaks and only conjure when you feel the cauldron bubbling. Thirdly, for the love of all that is holy, spare your sanity and don't sacrifice things for streaming. If you have things you gotta do, do them. Then, when you're good and ready, sit down and turn that mic on. Even if you can only stream for an hour, that's better than streaming for 3 with the constant nagging of ignoring responsibilities. And finally, to end all of this. Don't compare yourself to the other Vtubers. You're playing an entirely different sport. They're playing Dodgeball, while you're playing Golf. They can work fast, work hard and keep things going. You have to be patient, methodical, but eventually you'll get that birdie. Focus on your goals, on your journey, and remember, ya ain't alone in this particular struggle.

@RaigaSakata So true. Work and raising kids make it almost impossible half the time 🙃
