Q: What was everything for you like before History of Japan? What was your popularity like?
A: the popularity was great, but it was largely confined to one app which did not allow links to other sites, and did not allow anything longer than 7 seconds. so it was going great, and i was also nominated for an award, but it felt more and more like a trap. to make things more confusing, there was also a steadily growing audience on youtube that was wondering why the heck i would never exceed about 10 seconds, and i got very tired of explaining it to them
