From Rock Band to Japanese Content Creator — Rui’s Story #273 #274
有名バンドのミュージシャンから日本語系クリエイターへ!
Rui from Okkei Japanese shares his journey from pro musician to Japanese content creator. We talk about chasing dreams, playing in Tokyo’s live houses, the meaning of “方向性の違い,” and finding joy in helping others through language and creativity.
I finally met Okkei Japanese-san in real life! We’re both YouTubers, but not exactly fans of the spotlight. We put together some funny bloopers showing the struggles behind the scenes. Filming can be tougher than it looks 😅
