RE:HOSHIOTO
A little over a week ago sleepy.ab went to Okayama to play the RE:HOSHIOTO festival. It felt good to finally have a show outside of Hokkaido.

Today’s blog was inspired by this interesting article I read about ‘fake’ streams, and how the big distributors like YouTube or Spotify might adjust their counting systems in the future. So for the purposes of the title, the ‘forest’ is your phone. Welcome to the jungle?
Well time certainly flies when you’re stuck at home for a few months, huh?
I’m doing well, thankfully, and I hope you all are too. It’s been a long time since I’ve written a blog entry, but I felt like it was time for a little free-form catch-up.

But I’ve realized that, outside of those directly involved, I didn’t really share my experiences with the world in any concrete way. I did the obligatory posts on Twitter, Instagram, and (rarely) Facebook, but to be honest I’ve been connecting less and less with the social aspect of those sites. Maybe it’s just my infrequent use, maybe it’s age, but for the past few months I’ve found myself completely overwhelmed by all the information I get from my feeds.
