Japanese Stories

It is not so breaking news anymore because I didn't upload any posts on this website. I have two other blog websites in Japanese language, and I will be honest I have been only writing in Japanese. I just don't write in English as fast as my mother language. You get that, right? Anyway I have more important news than what I have been doing. Mahoto Watanabe has abandoned his YouTube channgel with 1 million subscribers in June this year.  O n June 17th, Mahoto uploaded his last video on his exsisting account. The title was "I'm going to change my account. This is the last video." This news and the title of his last vide surprised many viewers.

Everytime I look at access statistics of articles about Mahoto, it surprises me because I have viewers from 20-30 different co

It's called "Shu Shu Shu no Hon~Watanabe Mahoto Listener's Book" I don't know if you can access to Japanese Amazon website, but I am just going to leave Amazon URL here. http://www.amazon.co.jp/しゅしゅしゅの本~ワタナベマホトDVD付き1stリスナーズBOOK~-エンターブレインムック/dp/404730638X There are pictures, a long interview, and you will be introduced to an artist Mahoto's day etc.... This book also comes with a music video of Kaiware Hammer (Mahoto's Hip-Hop artist group). So you will be able to see Mahoto in motion!! I cannot get my hands on this book at the end of this month, and I really think you all will enjoy it if you like Mahoto.  I don't know if anybody want to see it, but I think I will review his book when it gets published!
