Lots Of Great Things Happening!!!

Sorry I have been away for a bit, but the hiatus is proving to be productive! Read on.

1. Japanese language is now available in the Steemit settings!!! @inoue coded it up and submitted it back in November and @roadscape made the final fix to it the other week. It's now it's officially part of the Steemit UI!! Great work by @yoshiko and the Japanese community for pushing it forward and David from Steemit for following up on it for us this week. This will greatly increase our ability to bring new Japanese users to Steemit. 

2. @boxcarblue made a nice delegation to the @steemit-jp account. We are seeking SP delegation to that community account to build & support the Japanese community. Please consider delegating to @steemit-jp to help us.

You can also help us by supporting the @steemit-jp curation trail. Thank you to @shogo for putting this together.

3. I have been working with a company behind the scenes on a new media venture in Japan. We officially received approval from the company president to proceed with it early this week and we are now full "steem" ahead!

4. Crypto Night, our first club night/crypto meet up went off without a hitch! About 30 people showed up, a bit less than we had hoped, but it was a success. We expect to have about 5 new Steemit users sign up from the event. @yoshiko gave a great talk about Steemit and continues to prove to us she is the right leader for the community. 

I threw down a fun DnB set, but I forgot to record it!! So, I'll just remake it as a studio mix and release it here on Steemit soon.

5. Continuation of my "5 Days In Japan" series. While researching the last topic, Crypto, I realized it would be beneficial to do a much deeper dig on the topic. There is so much happening in Japan that most of the world doesn't know about and I really want to get a lot of that information out. In addition it is tying in with our media venture so, over the next two weeks I'll be releasing stories about crypto in Japan. I have the topics and will introduce them with the first story. Until then, keep on Steeming on!

And lastly, keep your eye on Japan over the next week or two. BIG announcement coming!!

Thanks for reading!
