Our Tone is friendly, informative, upbeat, pun-y, optimistic, open-minded, accessible, 2SLGBTQIA+ friendly 🏳️🌈, and professional.
Our Purpose is to promote Japanese (& adjacent) Pop Culture through various forms of mediums and to have fun working with other people around the world who share the same views and excitement.
