I love that you can sense how his experience living in the US influenced him, when the choir kicks in at the chorus. The English subs also seem provided by himself, as it's translated with creative liberty.
I'm a big fan of the song's producer #Yaffle but I originally found him through this guy. I followed Hiroya predebut because I absolutely love his voice. Unfortunately he's very underrated...
Agatsuma is a Japanese shamisen artist who plays the Tsugaru-shamisen, a three-stringed traditional Japanese musical instrument, somewhat like a banjo.
Now that Sakurajima Social, our sister instance is now up, here is an #introduction post.
My name is James known as chikorita157. I run an anime blog, Chikorita157’s Anime Blog since 2009 and I cover primarily yuri, school girl slice of life shows or shows with mostly/all female cast. Manga Time Kirara titles are my favorite, especially Machikado Mazoku, Gochuumon, Comic Girls, New Game, Bocchi the Rock.
Also, I am learning Japanese since 2012 and aiming for JLPT N2.
Some of my favorite artists are: Minase Inori, TrySail, Uchida Maaya, Touyama Nao, Kitou Akari, and Ueda Reina.
My main account is at @chikorita157, where I do most of my posting there, but I will post here sometimes as well.

Why Calckey and not just another Mastodon Instance?
Well, you may ask. We went wtih a more inclusive domain name this time and since Calckey resembles Twitter, it might give the push for some Anime Bloggers to leave Twitter and join us at the Fediverse as it has arguably a better UI, Mastodon API support (in the works), and the ability to migrate accounts and bringing your content with you. This is different compared to Mastodon since you can only move your followers.
The goal with both my Mastodon and Calckey instance is give Anime Bloggers and Japanese-media based creators along with fans of Japanese media an inclusive and non-toxic place place to talk about Japanese media and share your Japanese-related content. With Twitter's future uncertain and #BlueSky not being the answer, the Fediverse might be the solution to a decentralized social network future.
If you want to create an alt or migrate here and you are on an instance already, send a direct message to @chikorita157 and you can get an invite code sent to you quicker than through a form.
People without a Fediverse account can request an account through our form
