It’s been clear to me that for what Shingo covers for us English speakers really is peerless. Shingo you don’t seem to show it, but it’s clear to me that no one provides this sort of resource, and really is peerless for English speakers. I mean, there are a handful of people like Danny Choo, but pfft, I’d say that what Shingo does for figure enthusiasts is beyond just a Danny Choo-like blog, it’s thorough and touches every figure I have a remote interest in, and has way more value considering his preferences. What Shingo does would be competent for a small team of journalists trying to cover the medium as it appears to me, and it seems to be mostly driven simply by his will and enthusiam, as proof by his recent burn-out and room to be abducted by WoW. At times like these I wish Shingo did have more incentive to be giving us this resource, for example, I for one would definately pay for a subscription if needed. Shingo, the peerless and invaluable service you give to us along with the will and effort it takes to provide it is not lost on me. Might I suggest a burn-out-resistant schedule that is much less packed than a Mainichi post and a bit less frequent, because really, I don’t think anyone has expectations as big as those Mainichi posts. I’d save that for if you did have a small team of journalists. Oh, and when I say peerless I mean it. If Shingo quit completely, I mean really, is there a replacement? I haven't found one.

A lot's happened in all forms of the mediums you cover, but it's not that - it's the not knowing if you're even alive and well that's quite alarming to us.. Is there an echo in here..? -/- I’d be interested to know what’s been happening at all, since this site’s really not in low pwer but almost no power!
