Kamishibai means paper play in Japanese and is a traditional storytelling art that was popular during the 1930s and post-war period in Japan but is still performed today.

My first ever book WHAT ARE YOUR DREAMS was officially published and released on May 15th through Japanese company Amesian Books/ WANANN,Inc. While available for pre-order, it reached the charts on Amazon Hot New Releases!

I wanted to write a book about having many different dreams and the amazing journey we all take to find what we love to do in life. We can all continue to explore and find what we love at any age. 

I was flown out to Glendale, Arizona to perform at the Anime event Ganbatte which was held at the StateFarm Stadium lot. I have performed all over the States at various Anime cons, events, and Japanese festivals but this was my first time in Arizona.

It was a realization that I wouldn’t be performing for a very long time in person. So once I heard that this festival was back, I was ecstatic!

I recently went to the BOOKOFF AnimeLab in Little Tokyo which specializes in all things Anime. I love going to as many BOOKOFF’s as I can because each one has hidden treasures and one of the biggest BOOKOFF’s just opened up in Garden Grove, Orange County.

Spring is almost here! It’s my favorite season because of the Cherry Blossom aka Sakura. The annual Cherry Blossom season in Japan is very special.

I performed two shows with different songs for each set. I have a lot of original music inspired by Anime, Japan, love, and life. I also perform my own renditions of Anime, City Pop, and Video Game songs

check out the new Gashapon shop by Bandai in Little Tokyo! Gashapon (ガシャポン) are coin operated toy vending machines and is a trademark of Bandai.

Valentine’s Day is the best opportunity for fans to show their love for all things Anime. I came up with a list of some fun things we can all do to show our passion.
