Hi, I\'m ShuffleOtaku

Once again I\'ve decided to necro post on Gendou.

Man, time flies. None of you know me, but I\'m Nate (ShuffleOtaku). I\'m an extremely late bloomer to a love for anime and Japanese media. I originally fell in love with Japan as a teenager in 2002 when I discovered haiku poetic form, and then began studying about the country.

I didn\'t discover anime until my third year of college, in 2012. In that year, I began with Shuffle! (thus my name, and yes, it\'s not that good), Ah! My Goddess, and Clannad. Needless to say, one of those stuck with me enough to make it my username... another stuck with me enough to cosplay and get engaged *in cosplay*. Memories!

Anyway, I remembered using Gendou way back in 2012. It was how I found songs for my little nerdy otaku JRock band to cover. We were nobodies, but it was fun covering Japanese music.

I\'ve decided to post on Gendou because... actually, I don\'t know why. I don\'t know what I expect to happen, or who I expect to find. I actually don\'t expect much at all. It almost feels like writing extinct (and horrible) poetry that no one will read, but it brings me a lot of comfort.

So if you see me around, please say hi. And, of course, if you\'re looking for a bright nostalgic light like Gendou always brought, well, it\'s still there, in you, waiting to make a comeback. :)

Yes, that\'s amazing! Hello!

Yeah, there\'s a huge joy to just sort of... wandering a \"sacred space\" or something, I don\'t know. It\'s like urbanEx, but on the internet? Anyway, I\'ve met so many folks over the years and bonded so much over Japanese music that I thought I\'d make a very half-assed attempt to necro Gendou.

I\'m sure some will think that very silly but hey! One other person is one more person wandering the Gendou mall checking out old storefronts!
