Hey, Hikosaemon here, long time!
Today just some quick news
And let you know what's coming
So stay tuned!
First up I want to intoduce something from Helpmefindparents
aka Ken Tanaka
First up congrats on winning a YouTube Awards prize
For me, he is one of the YouTubers to showcase the creative potential of YT
He's really had an impact on how I look at YT
Not just with video, but music,
He writes books, tells stories and so on
A really interesting guy
I've also got some of his art
There is Hopey-chan in the background of my vids
The Giraffe picture...
I also have some of his t-shirts
As part of a new project
He created a children's book for adults
Just like there are picture books teaching facts of life to children
"There are these kinds of animals"
"Everybody Poops"... stuff like that
In a similar vein, with a touch of dark humour
In order to teach the realities of life to adults
He wrote a delightfully illustrated picture book "Everybody Dies"
Drawn in a cute way so the adults are not afraid
He shows teaches that this is also a part of reality for grown ups
The humour of the book has that kind of a sense about it
But in a cutesy way, the humour also has some depth to it
I think it looks really interesting
Go to the homepage and check it out
He's an artist I really like
He's also publishing in a quite innovative way
So go to the site and if you like it, consider picking up a copy
Go and check it out for yourself anyway
You can see it all there
So, the next thing is..
Interesting videos and channels as of late
There really are lots and lots
But recent favorits of mine are
When Ciaela recently visited Tokyo
We got to meet up for a bit with other YouTubers
There were lots of cool YouTubers there
But there was a guy I really like called MyGirlHiro
He's technically half, but is basically a regular Japanese guy
And is just a really funny Japanese v-logger guy
Sure, a bit mindless, but the funny kind of mindless...
I really recommend his channel
So go check it out
The other channel I want to recommend
He's been around making good vids for a while now
But lately he's really switched to making vids for mass-appeal
Reynoldsair has recently started a series called ASIATUBE
In short funny vids he shows off cool vids and channels from Japan and Asia
His videos are just really pointless enjoyable fun
I highly recommend them
So that's it, just a quickie from me today...
So coming up...
I actually made a bonus video with Sachiko
Not just talking about videos, but life in general
I think it turned out really interesting
So I'll put that up next
And I still have plans to do more vids on Creative Commons
And babies of course, I've been meaning to do that for a while now...
So I really want to do that
There's more coming up soon
So stay tuned!
Peace!
