Yes. I contribute to Wikipedia and MusicBrainz.
I wanted to contribute to the online information sources that I always rely on, so I started activities on these two sites.
Offline, I work on organizing 78rpm-record collections left by local collectors.
I like music from before the LP era, and I learned about this activity through local media and decided to participate in the organizing work.


Japanese: Last regrets (imoutoid’s First regrets remix) (2006)
Russian: Murat Nasyrov - Мальчик хочет в Тамбов (1997)
German: Kraftwerk - Computerwelt (1981)
Italian: Giuseppe Verdi, Mario del Monaco - Esultate! (1887, 1954)
French: Joe Dassin - Et si tu n’existais pas (1975)
Spanish: Celia Cruz - Mi Soncito (1956)
Chinese: Zhōu Xuán - Hua yang de nian hua (1947)


Tamaki Miura, Ryukichi Sawada - O-edo Nihon-bashi (before 1925)
A recording by Japan’s first international opera singer and a professional pianist.
The original piece is a folk song, but the arrangement by pianist Ryukichi Sawada is ingenious, allowing listeners to hear rhythmic expressions comparable to modern rock and roll.
Due to Sawada’s early death, the number of his known works is limited, and there are virtually no other works of this kind of vocal music.
Recently, Sawada’s music has been reissued under the revival label Sakuraphone.

Silent films using tens of thousands of performers and large-scale stage sets will probably never be made again.
This is because modern audiences take sound in films for granted, making it impossible to expect box office returns that match such an investment.
One thing to be aware of if you want to avoid matrix.org is that Matrix communities can restrict federation with other servers.
In fact, the official Codeberg Matrix space has adopted this setting, and I ended up having to create an account on matrix.org again.

I generally only review Place as a place where I purchased artwork, often as an add-on to a review of the artwork itself.
Specifically, this includes reviews of bookstores for novels and record stores for music.
An exception would be my reviews of public libraries, where I focused primarily on the place itself.
The collections of a town’s public library often succinctly reflect the town’s cultural policies and characteristics, making comparisons interesting.

If you’re looking for RSS feeds, I recommend the website RSS Parot.


Sleaze: “Mon Papa” by Kenichi Enomoto, Teiichi Futamura (1931)
Depressing: “Inverted Type” by Sympathy Nervous (1980)


Drama: Oshin (JP, 1983-1984)
Animation: Shaun the Sheep (UK, 2007-present)
Kids: ETV 0655&2355 (JP, 2010-present)
Special program: TV’s TV (JP, 1987)
Of these, the one I particularly recommend is “TV’s TV.”
This is a program in which 100 TV channels each contain small video content, which is randomly introduced within a single TV program, an idea that was around 20 years ahead of YouTube.
There’s also an anecdote that Satoshi Tajiri, who would later create Pokémon, was involved in the production of this program.
Johnny Kitagawa’s child sexual abuse was confirmed in a trial over gossip magazine reports.
Johnny & Associates, which continued to have him involved with minors for over 15 years, engaged in organized child sexual exploitation and should be defined as a mafia.
Therefore, all organizations that did business with the company, including ISPs, universities, UMG, and Nintendo, should be defined as affiliated with the mafia.


The only independent search engines that support my native Japanese are Google, Bing, Brave, and Yep.
Of these, I generally search using Brave, and if I’m not satisfied with the results, I search again using DuckDuckGo.
I don’t use Yep because of its strict bot restrictions.
Also, on the rare occasions when I need to do an exact match or a search using site:, for some reason, Brave and DuckDuckGo are useless, so I reluctantly use Google, which is a shame.
As someone living in Japan, I do not recommend QWant, which is recommended in this comment section.
As I’ve commented before, this is because the service geoblocks countries that have non-Western languages as their official languages.





Qwant has been blocking access from countries that have non-European languages as their official language since around 2020.
It is still not available in Japan and other countries.

I recommend using Stract and Mojeek, which builds its own index independently without relying on Bing or similar services.
EDIT: Add mojeek.
This is a security issue, not a content issue.
There is nothing wrong with universities posting pornography.
This is evident from the fact that Japanese universities research traditional pornographic art from that country.
