若い世代が俺たちの音楽に辿り着いてくれるのを見るのは、いつだって嬉しいもの。こうして活動を続けている中でも最高だと思えることのひとつだ。でもAdoがやったような形は今まで見たことがない。サマーソニックのステージの最初と最後に“Enter Sandman”だって?! これには本当に驚かされたよ。ありがとう!🙏🖤
Watching younger generations find their way to our music never gets old... it's one of the best parts of doing this. But we’ve never seen it done quite like Ado just did it. Opening AND closing Summer Sonic with “Enter Sandman”?! We’re blown away. Thank you! 🙏🖤
Just some random thoughts after Animate! Orlando 😂
There was a LOT of really cheap unofficial and counterfeit merchandise in the dealer room, and honestly, I was pretty surprised by how much of it there was.
Of course, at conventions like Otakon, ACEN, and Anime NYC, we’re usually so busy at our own booth that I barely have time to walk around and look at other vendors, so I can’t really compare fairly. But personally, I’ve never noticed this much counterfeit merchandise at a convention before 😳
Because so many of those knockoffs were extremely cheap, our booth definitely looked expensive in comparison. Since we only carry authentic, officially licensed merchandise, it was honestly a tough market for us 😭
Something else I found interesting was that you really can’t judge a booth by who’s running it or where they’re from. Some Asian-run booths were selling completely legitimate licensed products, while obvious knockoffs could be found at other booths. It really comes down to the merchandise itself, not the person selling it.
But what made me really happy was the Hololive, VTuber, and Uma Musume fans. They knew exactly what they were looking at! 🥹❤️
They recognized the authentic merchandise, Japan-exclusive items, and harder-to-find releases. Some people came back to our booth over and over again throughout the weekend, and we even had customers who wanted to take commemorative photos with us! 😭❤️
We obviously can’t compete with knockoff prices, but seeing fans who understand the value of authentic merchandise and get excited about finding something special from Japan made me really happy.
Anyway, just my little post-convention rambling 😂
Thank you to everyone who kept coming back to see us! You really made our weekend 🥹❤️
I cant afford a further treatment, i cant get better , so i went home and all i can do for now is draw as long as i can and wait for my time to come.
i got nothing more than just leaving my art here and see people admiring it, i hope i can hang on a bit longer, im sorry.
