  • I know you said transition away from news sites but Easynhk.com is always a staple

    Twitter is honestly great since there’s so much variety, not to mention there’s a lot of artists who’ll post full chapters of manga. You just have to curate who you follow to avoid musk stuff.

    I’d also say just watch some YouTube videos. It’s a good way to practice listening and most YouTubers will personally subtitle their videos as well so you can follow along while reading. A particular favorite way for me is to watch videos of Japanese people travelling/living in America/English speaking places. It’s fun seeing their experiences with everyday stuff for us; a channel I watch a lot is called Kira Kira USA. They post videos frequently, use a lot of day to day Japanese, and get to see viewpoints from the various family members.

    Good luck!



  • I mean, isn’t this why everything you see is America dominated? Almost every major platform used by typical English speaking westerners is going to be owned and made in America and hence America focused. Combine this with the gargantuan influence America exerts on the world, I don’t think it’s hard to see why you see so much American centered things. I get this is a shit post but I always see comments like this bemoaning american over representation.
