One year later where do you go from here!
When I started posting my edited videos on another channel over a year a go. It was complete chaos I would get 500 views on my anime dancing videos and like 13 on a blog. I knew this was not going to work. It would be okay if I was a dancer. I wasn't I was just slowing beoming a fan. I looked at my demographic and I felt like Gemma in The Beckii Superstar BBC Documentary " I would be very sad if that was my daddy." I knew the problem I would have a male point of views or comedy skits and then Have a Young lady dance. It would be okay if it was Otaku themed but this wasn't I felt like it was an old vaudeville show or Dean Martin's variety show. "now here comes the Gold diggers dancing to the Danjo Dance". My Goal became Clear to get my channel to get more female views or respectable male fans. I needed my own channel.
It was great starting out on my channel because I already had content to be posted from my previous channel when I Opened the doors a year a go I had a channel comment that said " A video channel dedicated to J-pop Dancing this is a good idea." I knew I was on the right track.
I can honestly say I met that goal of increasing female views. My demographics for all my videos right now today is Female 54% to Male 46%. I am not saying Male viewers are bad we need more Male dancers in the community. I am just saying be respectful. You need to think before you type. Ask yourself would I want someone say the same thing to me. I mean how many garbage men yelling at women actually get those women that they are yelling at? I want you to fall in a love with a Dancer so much that you think about her feelings that you care what she thinks about you and herself.
My goals now well here is what I want to do. My goal is number one is to branch out to more programming or work with other people. I will be sending someone to conventions to get more footage. I will be starting to take donations and a place where people to go by and personally thank the company or people for their donations. I have thought about a weekly J-pop, K-pop news programming maybe work with Jimbo or Little Cecly. A DVD with blessing from a certain entertainment company on dance tutorials and most of all a documentary and I want to work with Kawaii Kim on making fan clubs for younger dancers to help protect them.
Guys Thank you!
From TORUTAKANURU!!

The 50th tribute!
It is april 25th I am going to try to make this a special blog. Tomorrow as many as you know is national Hanni day as declared from the office of Torutakanuru.I accomplished what I wanted to today by posting a video about her and by making a special comments for her.What can I say about her I mean I like Hanni, I do not know her personally but I really like her she puts her heart in everything she does. I know in this day and age that is hard to do. All I can say that the positive results of putting your heart out there many times out weighs the negative. I will use myself as an example. I have made 50 tributes on YouTube I know it does not say that but I have. I have had to make a couple videos private for reasons .
I cannot believe I have done this for over a year it is partly an addiction for me but the joy of seeing the videos afterward are hard to explain. Last night was the first time I had a chance how great the impact these videos have. As many of you know I have been brought to this by accident but I never knew the joy of completing a video. A painter paints and enjoys his art surely maybe an editor edits. I get kicks now reading others comments and making them happy.
Probably the biggest question I get from people is How long does it take to make a video. I would say the longest would be three days that I know. The example I would give you is how much do I love making videos. I have skipped meals and sleep to make videos and I would do it again. I have two videos that will probably never be released but I do not regret making them. I do it for me but sometimes I do it for you.

100 Subs, Milestone and a New Channel
 |
| Editor and Chief Its raining outside I have the jazz comtemporary music playing and a warm cup of tea in front of me. Its look like I am shooting a video tonight and pre-production involves cleaning and hoping and praying for more lighting. I have more then one program going and my computer is screaming help me! I had a comment from a friend that I had reached 100 subscribers and I knew I had reached another milestone. I have to look back I had made videos for these dancers for over a year now. I took some time off because I had a little burnout because of it . You sometimes have to stop and smell the roses. That is my advice to anyone doing the videos you reach that year milestone take off a little bit. What I have learned in a year and 100 subscribers later? How do you handle Anti-Otoku people or trolls. Block them and then go to their channel and block all their friends or Channel favorites you will find that most of them are made up channels a key thing to look for is to whether they have any uploads that is a sure sign that this a made up channel just for trolling. Another thing I have learned that K-pop is a rival to American Pop. You need to support your subscribers because they support you keep an open mind help others to perfect their talent with creative criticism and love. I have a new channel well sort of. This channel is Kawaii dancers. The idea came to me when I started complaining about not enough dance tutorials on you tube. I thought about developing videos with a metronome and start my own tutorials a virtual teacher sort of and gear it to a younger audience I believe it will grow fast as we develop new progamming. |
