Hello anons!
Many of you may be aware that /jp/ has a football team for funsies and soon we will get to play in the elite summer cup.
This means it is due time for us to check our current medal players and maybe shuffle who are the medals around a bit, also this is a great opportunity for you to show support for your favorite players!

https://forms.gle/je3TBNr98uEhA1Tc7 this the link for the survey. We appreciate your support.

As a last reminder, medal players are the players we build tactics around, so they are the players that we will get to see in almost all matches.

Not really. They just announce stuff when it's almost ready to be released. I know of a certain project they have that's been fully translated for over a year now and still isn't announced (it's not anything special before you ask what it is, just a shitty RPGM game).

Modern Marisa and Reimu had their debut on Shuusou Gyoku, but marisa exists since touhou 2. Seihou Shuusou Gyoku is from 2000 and EoSD from 2002.

This is about anikura (アニクラ) which is a portmanteau of the loan words anison (アニソン) and club (クラブ). Interestingly enough, anison itself is a portmanteau of anime (アニメ) and song (ソング) which refers to musical tracks used in various anime series and is often misspelled by adding a "g" at the end since bawka gaijins can't into nippongo properly. Regardless, anikura refers to the use of "anison" related music in a "club setting" hence the genre's name. Still confused? Lurk moar.

One of the more notable anikura is Akihabara MOGRA (MOGRA for short) which has been associated with this imageboard for well over a decade. However, just limiting yourself to one venue would be a disservice since there are other livehouses and even devoted anison groups who help contribute to anikura all over Japan and the world! For those who wish to explore the anikura scene in Japan, otaku-bar.com would be a great place to start your journey.

Although the primary source of anikura comes from venues in Japan, there are also shows and events held online. As previously mentioned: MOGRA is the most well known anikura which also streams a lot of their events online via Twitch. However, there are also individuals associated with MOGRA who stream online and one of them is the President of MOGRA: D-YAMA, who goes by the channel name of 'choroyama' on Twitch. MOGRA can be used as the base on discovering other venues and even DJs who also stream online.

Since online streaming is the play, there are international anikura which primarily stream online and also hold physical events when available. One of the anikura group that can trace their origin to this very imageboard would be Anison Hijack which has been streaming consistently every two weeks on the Twitch platform. Obviously, there are many international anikura online and hopefully you can check them out!

The following is a sample list of various anikura that stream online via Twitch.

JP clubs:
mogra
tsukiyume_jp (Tsukiakari Yumeterasu [Moonlit Dreams] in Kawasaki)
akibaraizeen (Anison DJ Bar Raizeen)
a_alchemi (Akihabara Alchemist)

4chan is 23 years old, in a couple of years /jp/ will be 20 and 2 full generations will have cycled through it. Even now, there are adults who have never lived in a /jp/less world, college graduates for which the 4chan tainted internet has always been a fact of life.

On a post last month someone suggested reading actual books instead of manga in order to pass the test.

https://www.aozora.gr.jp/
I was given this link for public domain stuff, but I am not sure where to start. What do you think would be the best raw reading material aside from manga? Visual novels and actual books . I was reading Chainsaw man on biligunal manga, but I am not sure this is going to cut it.

Just download some LN you think looks interesing.

Read visual novels and texthook.
Don't read "easy" stuff; read things that interest you.

Has /jp/ seen this? Someone took mario maker style interface, some yn assets and made it so you can make your own maps and tie them to other people's worlds.

The sprite/npc choices are rather limited so far, but with some creativity people have already made some pretty looking maps.

You CAN give all of your children Japanese names and raise them with Japanese as their native language and Japanese culture as their default
You CAN have a good life living as a normal Japanese person in Japan
