Daniel's Blog, Translation and other geeky things

ever since my videos was taken down and my channel shut down, i really didn’t do anything much. i may have been upset (very slightly?) but i was also relived. i knew that this was started as hobby and it wasn’t going to be something i will be doing forever, so when the videos were forcibly taken down, there was part of me that though “you know what? i had good run”.

first thing i want to say is that i might have found the reason why my videos were taken down. and i’m not going to lie, i am excited about this just a little bit.

it has been announced that MangaGamer (https://www.mangagamer.com/) have signed to publish Sono Hanabira visual novels in west! currently, they have only announced the release of all age version novels on steam, and have not confirmed on if any of previous releases will be translated as well but i think this is good move in general. now we might have legal source of playing Sono Hanabira games 🙂

second thing is that i have decided to at least upload all the videos that does not infringe on Copyright Claims onto YouTube again. i am still not sure if this is wise to do but only time will tell.

this is new channel that videos will be uploaded to

hi all.

two things has happened in past few days. and they are not good news at all.

firstly, i’ve been hit with copyright strike. copyright strike is different to content strike since the “owner” of the content of my video assume i have used their property without their consent. therefore they have requested the removal of my videos.

the copyright strike, as far as i am aware, is permanent unless i send in formal appeal, and i don’t think i can win this appeal at all since i believe it was fuguriya who has issued the warning. (also there might be legal consequences if the appeal doesn’t go through.)

after all this has happened, another issue came about. account lock down.

i believe this has happened due the the account receiving multiple copyright strikes., and therefore i won’t be able to upload any more videos on youtube. i can easily make another account yes, but there is no guarantee that this will work in long term.

youtube/google has terminated my account and deleted all of my videos. and there is nothing i can do.

i would like to use this time to thank you all for watching my videos and supporting me, all your comments has been fun to read and i hope i have helped at least small amount to people with my tutorials. honestly, i didn’t think or imagine that more then 900 people would consider subscribing to a guy just sitting on his chair playing visual novel, it was very interesting experience.

from bottom of my heart, i thank you all for watching.

although my youtube account is gone, i still have this (somewhat less successful lol) wordpress account! maybe i will find something to do with this thing now…

finally back from exam 🙂

anyway, i realised that videoweed or any variates of services beside from YouTube isn’t the most reliable place to host the videos up. I ended up spending too much time fixing the videos then i would have liked.

from now on, i will upload any unedited videos onto Mega as well as videoweed. that way, hopefully the file should the there as long as i would like them to be. i won’t be re-uploading any videos that have been deleted from videoweed in the future. it just takes too much time and isn’t worth the effort in my opinion.

if you guys would like to watch older videos, they are in Unedited Video Archive.
