Unfortunately due to Covid19, we are unable to hold Square Sounds Tokyo this year, stay safe everyone! コロナウィルス感染症の拡大を防ぐため、残念ながら今年のスクエアサウンズは中止になりました。Stay Safe!

[Square Sounds @Square_sounds]

We'll still be ensuring Japanese feedback is heard too, and appreciate the people who are making sure the Japanese crowd is across what we are trying to do as well. Thanks for the support - Kristy 4/4

A few comments made in the last 24 hours I/we want to address. Comments about staying out of politics & staying out of things I don’t know anything about (which have been called out recently ) were badly worded. I don’t want to preach my politics & Would rather address with 1/4

[Square Sounds @Square_sounds]

am not supporting is misguided especially when speaking for others. Other thing was a lack of Japanese ability. I’m Aussie. I helped construct the official statement which speaks for us. It’s in English bc all the team speak that language not for any other reason 3/4

[Square Sounds @Square_sounds]

@sdhizumi Hi, to be clear, the Australian team wrote the statement and wanted to put it out straight away. We have translators in mind for issues so please feel free to correspond in Japanese but responses might be a little slower.

[Square Sounds @Square_sounds]

@marcan42 Thanks for taking the time) we’ll give it the attention it deserves tomorrow :)

[Square Sounds @Square_sounds]

Square Sounds' response to recent events, & our commitment to a safer community.

In light of the recent statements made, and the current climate of the chip scene, Square Sounds - Kristy, Alex and Eugene in Melbourne, and David in Tokyo want everyone to know the following.1/9

[Square Sounds @Square_sounds]

@npckc This statement was written for both Tokyo and Melbourne and is the more common language between the two festivals. If you see our previous tweets we are assembling a team of independent mediators with Japanese and English skills

[Square Sounds @Square_sounds]

We should say we’re sorry the statement wasn’t made in Japanese as well, our Japanese isn’t strong enough for such an important statement.

[Square Sounds @Square_sounds]

Again, we are sorry we weren't quicker and more decisive in acting on this. We hope the community can work with us to be better in the future 9/9

[Square Sounds @Square_sounds]

@sdhizumi Japanese is ok too! :)

[Square Sounds @Square_sounds]

We are working on arranging a group of both English and Japanese speakers from both in and outside the chip scene. It’s also possible to send anonymous feedback.

@cyanidedansen I'm wondering who the "independent intermediary" is that looks at the spreadsheet
I am afraid to do an opinion, even if it is anonymous, if that intermediary itself has a problem

[Square Sounds @Square_sounds]

@npckc There have been no firm decisions made on this front

[Square Sounds @Square_sounds]

@npckc The form has an option for the feedback to be forwarded to an impartial and independent mediator for this reason

[Square Sounds @Square_sounds]

should definitely be a "which" at the start of this tweet, Oops - K

[Square Sounds @Square_sounds]

has not been right and brought to our attention. We made a mistake, and we let people down. This was not our intention and we are so sorry. As such, there have been some changes in the structure for the teams behind Square Sounds. 4/9

[Square Sounds @Square_sounds]

Again, we are sorry we weren't quicker and more decisive in acting on this. We hope the community can work with us to be better in the future 9/9

here https://t.co/EB8kQaZUnw which will also give you an option to open a dialogue with an independent person (not part of our team, and able to act as a mediator) if you wish. 8/9
