In Dec of 2011, I achieved the unbelievable goal of becoming the apprentice of the Yoshida Brothers
Now, almost exactly 7 years later I announce our first collaborative performance to be aired on TV Tokyo at 17:55 on Jan 1st
Never let anyone tell you your dreams are impossible
It took me an entire year but…
I Re-built Japan’s Tiniest Electronics Shop
The shops owner Koichi Shimayama had a very significant impact on my life over 15 years ago, and so when it came time for him to retire, I wanted to help
Needless to say, things got out of hand
TRIGGER WARNING ⚠️
These are the kind of comments that creators get
Nearly every day
So when the rest of you leave comments of kindness and support, we love you for it ♥️
Btw…
This guy wasn’t as anonymous as he thought. Took 18 minutes to find him and his university 😂
Have you ever been to a “Maid Cafe”?
I’ve always wondered what would make someone choose to work at a Maid Cafe in Japan.🤔
What would that job actually look like?
And so… I asked~
But sadly this story did not end well
We’re in Vancouver!!
Anyone going to the Sakura Days festival, this coming weekend.. we will see you there!
And to anyone coming to the shamisen workshops, we can’t wait!!
(And of course, Patreon dinner! ☺️)
Exciting week ahead! 🎉

I went to a movie theatre tonight
Just to buy the popcorn 🍿
Didn’t even watch a movie
Totally worth it 10/10
This is NOT sponsored in any form by the way
Insta360 struggles with dynamic range (dark/bright) & usually base borderline unusable audio
But oh boy is it reliable!
GoPro wins in the audio and dynamic range categories, but is about as reliable as a flat tire
This thing has officially botched 3 out of 4 flight recordings I’ve tried to make with it
Do not waste your money on @GoPro
Or use it for anything that’s actually important to you lol
Days like this are good days ☺️
Shooting Shamisen lessons
And… heading to Vancouver (Canada) in a few weeks!!
