The va of emilia complained to the author about how sad this was. He replied that he had him call her emilia-tan specifically for this scene all along.
I finally made it to WAFFLE HOUSE.
The staff are always friendly, and when I asked if they would sell me a menu, they sold me one for $5.
Next time, I’ll be back at 3 a.m. for fight time.

昨日ライブ、そして何十名かのサイン会を楽しく終えました😊いつものFJのライブより半分、3分の1??の長さだったのですが濃さは十分にありましたし心を込めて歌わせて頂いたつもりです それに答えてくれるようにChicagoに来て頂いた皆様の盛り上がりや拍手がとても嬉しかったですthank you so much♡
I appreciate all the response to my earlier post.
Just like there are many views of which none are wrong and provide good insights, obviously my own views are based in my own experiences and not about the Japanese industry as a whole.
I initially wrote in hopes that people understood that there are artists here that are trying hard to reach their content globally and the best way for fans to get info about those activities is to follow their socials DIRECTLY because not a lot of artists have the means of promoting themselves on major platforms, and artist also base their overseas tours on Spotify and Youtube analytics.
I understand that I'm not the most influential voice to make changes in the industry, but I've never given up trying to connect with the world and I probably never will.
My goal has never been to become the biggest selling artist, as long as I can reach the people who enjoy my music. But that also means I have to try harder to bring my content overseas.
It's worth it though.
Thanks & Rock On.
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.
