The political divide in Germany still exists along basically the same border, but instead of being divided between capitalism and communism, it's divided between center-right institutionalism and far-right populism.

#JMusicFriday theme is #EastAndWest (thanks @kingu )!

Ci, Fra, and Calli joined the Vtuber scene in 2020, and all experienced a meteoric rise during a turbulent time. As you may see in the video's comments, an uplifting song about ambition and finding new peers is a stark contrast to "End of a Life," which Calli released about a month prior.

This week for #JMusicFriday, @kingu gave us a theme of "East And West" - collaborations between Japanese and Western artists.

A favorite collaboration of mine is when Amy Lee teamed up with Wagakki Band for the song Sakura Rising. https://song.link/us/i/1774459966

It's such a great song.

Additionally, they did a live show together where they did an amazing version of the Evanescence classic Bring Me to Life. Check it out: https://song.link/y/hk1GtYK7BJM

> In this case, East and West are identical now, and America and Japan, in some respects, seem like gigantic Pachinko palaces (with all the distractions of that, with the senses entangled, the senses extended and entangled into the light and the noise and the hypnosis). Jumbo jet instead of coral reef.
