FAQ: Who are netto ubros?

A: a term coined by @rarasensei.bsky.social (you may know her from “hisashibooty”) for “non-JP ppl (usually white boys) who talk/act like and try to appeal to the nettouyo, or JP nationalists active on SNS.”

In Japanese, one’s possessions are called “My (item)”, such as “my bag,” “my car,” “my shika,” because it is important to take ownership and care for your things. It is related the unique, untranslatable Japanese philosophy of “mottainai.”

Oh! Drums are so cool! My neighbor is a drummer and I keep hoping my son would take it up!

Thanks! Planning to start shamisen next year! Don’t play anything? I see you have drums in your header.

I’d never played an instrument before and so this year I decided I finally would. I found a private teacher and started in February!
