in Japanese, there is no “A” or “The”. It’s very context dependent. There also are no quote-on-quote plural versions of nouns. (I guess you can add “tachi” to the word “anata”(you) to create “anatatachi” which means You Guys)

When I heard the "A" or "The" spiel, I too thought "文脈があいまいじゃないけど"; I would imagine it would have been clear from the get-go, since Nintendo also trusts its translators, especially when it comes to stakeholder communication. I would need to see the original text to elaborate further, though "A" vs. "The" seems like a frivolous argument.

As a Japanese language student, Japanese is a very vague and non-specific language. So translation is often a guessing game that needs to consider context, the tone, the register, and so on.

I find it amazing how often you upload, like, genuinely when I found out about this channel after watching a couple videos (I've watched a lot more since) I liked them a lot but I thought you would be like one of these guys that drops a video once in a blue moon and then takes months for the next one. But these video uploads are consistent, high-quality (information wise which is what matters) and cover a variety of topics, I don't know how what's your process for studying a subject and preparing a video (maybe that would be a cool video idea along with a q&a) but I'm here for it.

Super great and informative video as always! I look forward to anything that you might have to say on the investors report. Anyways, just a small heads up- I think that you might have uploaded the wrong captions for this video. The captions seem to be the same as the captions for your last video, and they don't match up to the audio of what you're saying. Usually this channel has very good captions, and the effort to make said good captions is always noticed and appreciated.

Thanks for the comment and I think it's good advice. The three-per-week schedule is definitely the default, at least at present . Could be a little less at times (June/July is normally a fairly frantic time for me at work although I'm building up a goodly backlog of videos in anticipation so we'll see how it goes). Could be a little more than 3/week occasionally - later on, I'll have an additional video for the week to respond to the Furukawa announcement. It's a bit of an indulgence I suppose but has some observations I think will move the conversation on and there'll be a "proper" video following it. If things hot up announcement-wise, I may look to up my frequency but even so, I don't consider myself a news channel really; there's plenty of stuff that gets flagged in the Nintendo news I don't really go near and honestly I have a very tight schedule so doing off-the-cuff videos is often tricky. Equally, while research-based forecasting videos will always be this channel's bread and butter, I think the channel has scope to branch out now and then. In fact, there's one coming in a few days that I fully expect to bomb out of the gate because it's about as off-brand for the channel as you can get but it's fun to experiment and a more regular release schedule actually helps with that - less danger of one video spiking the channel's wheels. Ultimately as long as I'm finding it fun, I hope the viewers will too. Appreciate the engagement!

My question is what do they have to gain by disclosing it to select investors instead of waiting to disclose it to all of them? Either way, if they did start talking, that makes it more likely for more info to be shared soon imo. Not to go back into secrecy. I stand by this.

The ESG in that document is a HUGE red flag. While Nintendo is no stranger to representation, their earliest example being Birdo being trans (I think), with the current climate, it’s entirely possible that they could be corrupted into doing harmful representation (ie the one Twitter wants).

We've gone so far deep as a politically divided world, where the words "Environmental, social, and governance" became a dogwhistle for "people I don't like on twitter are saying we should make others feel welcome". ESG can also include shit like "Hey let's make the packaging for the 3DS games less wasteful and use less plastic" which they literally did. Literally you people would complain if Metroid was made today and revealed Samus as a woman, your sphere of the internet would go "NINTENDO GONE WOKE? UNCESSARY SAMUS GENDER REVEAL??"

People don’t like black characters (unless the story is about racism, culture, etc), they like characters that just so happen to be black.

Before autism rep was really a thing all most people had to go off of were sensationalized news stories about intellectually disabled children, like people would be surprised that I could talk coherently.

ESG is flawed. Consoles reduce carbon impact by entertaining populations without them having to expend more carbon by leaving their homes. Xbox made the same mistake and I use the machine less because of all the electricity usage reductions. Remote play turned off by default. Fast boot up off. End result, people play games less and turn to traditional (carbon wasting) activities instead.
