I guess I should stick an intro here. I’m Kaihatsu, a UAE-born Scot working in Osaka as a type designer!.I also spend a lot of time in Hokkaido visiting Ainu communities, etc. If the above thread interested you, feel free to follow. I post about Ainu culture, games, all sorts!.
This morning I took part in a ceremony to honour Scotsman Neil Gordon Munro, who lived among the Ainu people of Nibutani. His research & films are of great importance to preserving Ainu culture. He also gave free medical care to the villagers. More photos to come when I get them!

New video on Friday!. (Don't get too used to this pace though).
Will probably make a very short follow-up video just so people know that this was announced. And that way can finally have a definitive end to the story. Honestly this a nice way for the whole project to wrap itself up.

Currently at #8. Not sure how much higher it'll go. Though I have received several comments saying it'll get to 100K views and I'll get to 100K subscribers, which I appreciate lol.

I’m going to call fake on this. “COLLECTION” font looks wrong.
Thought we should put this out there before it gets out of hand. Rumors are going around about a New Super Mario Bros. Collection, but thus far signs are pointing to it likely being fake. See:

Talking about this, I'm always reminded of a quote that Richard Feynman, one of the scientists who worked on the Manhattan Project, learned while visiting a Buddhist temple in Hawaii:. "To every man is given the key to the gates of heaven; the same key opens the gates of hell.".

Despite my family having ties to nuclear weapons through the death of a family member, I still believe in nuclear power. Though I understand of course that Japan has a much more complicated history with the atom. I hope I never have to see such a cruel bomb in use in my lifetime.

Today is the 80th anniversary of the Hiroshima bombing. Last time I was in Hiroshima, I met with a survivor of the bomb. I wrote a thread about it all, which you can check out below.
Walking around the A-Bomb dome again, I met Mito Kosei, who is a bomb survivor. He was in his mother’s womb when the bomb went off. We spoke about his experience with illness from the bombing, & I told him about my uncle’s experience as a witness (and eventual victim) of a nuke.

This has now entered the top ten most watched videos on my channel. Thank you so much for supporting my return to videomaking!.
[NEW VIDEO / 新しい動画].The final Fontendo video is now available. It discusses the origins of Nintendo's logos - specifically how the styles of lettering in them evolved, as well as revealing the closest typeface to Nintendo's kanji logo. Link in the thread below.

FanRan is back!!.
Five days after I upload my video which talks extensively about FanRan E, the closest typeface to Nintendo's Japanese logo, type foundry Morisawa has just announced that it has been digitised into an OpenType font and will be available on Morisawa Passport starting this October.

先週の動画のおかげで、日本人のフォロワーが増えました。ようこそ！. 色んな課題（ゲーム、アイヌ文化、デザインなど）についてポストをしますが、動画で述べたように、現在はタイプデザイナーとして働いているので、フォントについて共有できることは少し限られています。雇用主の方針なんですね。.

@Fontendou I'd find it easier to forgive if I didn't have the wrong reading in text on-screen. Friend of mine who was visiting me last week said I "put more care and scrutiny in to videos than most TV studios". Which is good, but also a reminder that I shouldn't be an extreme perfectionist.

And I know how it happened - I wrote the initial script back in 2021, and in that particular instance I drew upon an earlier post I put on @Fontendou. It was also in an early section recorded in late 2021 I think. So my Japanese was nowhere near as fluent as it is now.
