Took this photo while crossing the Yodo River in #Osaka while on my way to #Amagasaki
This was taken during the #MiyajimaChallenge, a 400 km walk I did last year
My next big walk starts 9/29
Walking from Iwakuni to #Kagoshima
Going to be an epic journey

Took this photo at the start of my 400 km walk from #Kyoto to #Iwakuni ( #MiyajimaChallenge)
The starting point was the famous Sanjo Ohashi (bridge)
This year I'll be walking from Iwakuni to #Kagoshima, probably 500km+
The #KyushuChallenge starts 9/29

A message to anyone making #YouTube videos

Don't tell people to grab a snack at the beginning of your videos
Way too many people do this
Let's all just agree not to do this
PLEASE

Stayed up till 5 am recording my next video
No regrets
Looking forward to getting this one out and seeing how people respond

I think I just discovered a #DragonBall mistranslation no one in the English speaking Dragon Ball fandom seems to have pointed out
All the English YTbers and sources like Kanzenshu have the mistranslation as the correct translation
Doing final checks
Video likely coming soon

It's nice to get a good comment on a video you spent many hors working on

Apparently pointing out how the dub of #DragonBallZ made changes to what #AkiraToriyama wrote, makes you a propagandist
It's really amazing how offended people get when you simply point out the truth
