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

A full year in the making, the video is now up! (And probably the longest I’ve spent on any vid so far!)
It took A LOT to make this possible and I have nothing but love and gratitude for everyone that pitched in and helped~
I’ve been truly overwhelmed with amazing comments 🥰

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

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
