Are you like... the yuyucow of seiyuu knowledge?

Eh, I wouldn't say so. For starters, I don't even consider myself a seiyuu fan nowadays. Plus, my scope of knowledge is extremely limited; I know next to nothing about seiyuu who debuted after 2010 for example.
I'm sure there're people out there who know stuff in more detail than I do. I just happen to be older & have had a longer history of being interested in seiyuu w

Who is the most artistically ambitious seiyuu singer?

I'm not sure what being 'artistically ambitious' entails...perhaps, someone who is involved in actually writing their own music? Takahashi Naozumi springs to mind immediately. Taniyama Kishow maybe. Sakamoto Maaya?

Why r u so effortlessly cool?

.................I'm pretty much the uncoolest person I've ever known. Anyone who knows me IRL will attest to that.

Final thought on Bleach?

i hadn't read it for something like 10 years so that final chapter was like 'Yo Kubo imma let u finish but Naruto had a hella better ending than u did dawg' to me...?

ermm...just want to let you know there is a fujoshi(-ish) twitter user who often paraphrases your opinion on seiyuuplus as her own tweets while completely misses the points you try to make ^^;

lol who is this even? sounds amusing enough...

Do you somewhat agree with the following: (1) Ishigami Shizuka looks like a fusion between Toyama Nao and Ito Kanae (2) Amamiya Sora looks like a fusion between Tomatsu Haruka and Yingluck Shinawatra?

1) what are you smoking bro 2) tomatsu yes, re: yingluck, see answer to 1)

Based on your own experience, do you think Japanese people wear social masks?

Don't we all, regardless of nationality? I certainly do.

Can an anime-only watcher of Boku Dake start the manga around the point when the killer's identity is revealed? Or would u recommend starting at Chapter 1 instead? Thanks!

Just start from the timeskip after Fujinuma first wakes up. That would be around Chapters 32-33

Any plan to return to lewd blogging? No one writes about legs as well as you do. NO ONE!

Nope, never happening...I'd like to think I've successfully buried that part of my past, along with all the death threats & homophobic hate mails that came along with it. But thanks for the compliment(?)...

Your thought on the future of musical composition (especially commercial music). Will composers eventually exhaust all the possible melodic/harmonic/rhythmic combination to make a new catchy tune?

Well mathematically it's not likely. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAcjV60RnRwj1m0ne’s Video 134652097118 DAcjV60RnRwj1m0ne’s Video 134652097118 DAcjV60RnRw
I'd say a lot of modern mainstream music isn't that reliant on melody/harmony any more - hip-hop, rap, minimalist/chill etc. The shift from organic music to a more electronic-based sound took the best part of a century, I'm pretty sure there'll be more musical innovations down the road we can't imagine now...we're still finding new genres nowadays anyway, I doubt we'll ever be short of anything to listen to ---> https://insights.spotify.com/us/2015/09/30/50-strangest-genre-names/

Have you ever considered using Patreon to support your translation projects?

Nope. The traits of 人情 & 報 (or 'Giri' for the Japanese) are so deeply entrenched in my psyche that the mere thought of taking other people's money for X reason makes me feel ill. I doubt I could ever bear the burden of obligation/expectation that came along with the financial 'reward' or compensation. As with all my projects, I do it out of genuine love and interest in the subject matter & as a service to the anime/seiyuu community that has given me so much for so long.
