I don't like saying my own name, so I explain why. Then there's a huge tangent about identity, purpose, enjoyment, etc around halfway through when I'm interrupted by a phone call and completely lose focus hahaha.

Tl;dw: Being half-Japanese in Australia with a non-Western name means I've grown up with all kinds of pronunciations, and not even my Japanese mum uses the "real" pronunciation sooo... I kinda just don't care lol!

P.S. I know some of you were expecting another review to be my next video but I'm still waiting for Punk Rave Australia to give me the okay to post it. My reviews always appear on their channel first, so yeah, I have to wait, but hopefully it'll be up soon!

The song snippet at the end is "Comrades" from my Asexuality EP: https://destroyermariko.bandcamp.com/album/asexuality
