Current status of your account on X. Totally weird

Great stuff by @andysharpy.bsky.social on this interview with Okinawan rap sensation #Awich, who I'm very excited to see at Dead Pop Festival next month. Very nice to see @asia.nikkei.com expanding deeper into Japanese pop culture (and with superb insight from @mbmelodies.bsky.social as well).

Whether in U.S. battleground states or other global hot spots, Japanese companies must prioritize political engagement alongside economic strategy. The lesson is clear, Jonathan Grady writes, all politics is local. asia.nikkei.com/Opinion/Nipp...
