Hello! My World!!

Blogging may feel quaint these days. However, I've been thinking that there is a merit to having a personal space to let out the contents of my mind. Just having them pile up in the mind is a burden. I hope to relieve that burden to some extent by writing them out.

Of course, I also do writing and editing stuff at KAORI, especially its English division The Indonesian Anime Times. But KAORI/IAT as information outlets need to provide responsible services to the interests of their readers. They can't be beholden to just the whims of their writers. Thus, I consider it would be healthier to have my own space to put out stuff that are too personal in character to suit KAORI/IAT's missions to the public. Needless to say, the things I put here do not reflect the views and opinions of KAORI/IAT. Though, I do might refer to or promote articles from there as I see fit.

My major plan for this blog is to make a series of memoirs of my personal history with Japanese entertainment media. Expect to see the introduction later this month (hopefully). Beyond that, we'll see how it goes.
