Yup, it's true. All of it. I will be studying under Hotaru Haganezuka in the Swordsmith village. I am very excited. [spoiler]This NOT true. None of it. [i]It's fake, we made it up. A fabrication[/i]. -but- Fun Fact! The Swordsmith Village that appears in Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba - Swordsmith Village arc is likely based off of a real Hot spring resort located in the Yamagata Prefecture. The resort is called Ginzan Onsen. (Demon Slayer fans discover “real-life Swordsmith Village” in Japan) The real-deal looks so beautiful, especially in the snow. Personally I see the resemblance.[/spoiler] [spoiler]Also, I recently ordered + received a Shamisen from Japan. It got here only 1 1/2 weeks after I ordered it and I am very happy. I have been practicing it when I have time, and the biggest thing is figuring out how to hold the bacchi correctly. I would compare it to when I was set on learning slap bass a few years back, where I really sucked at making contact w/ the strings for months. So it's been a very cool learning experience so far. My goal is to play the shamisen solo in The Rising Fighting Spirit, by Musashi Project. It's pretty much THE Naruto song. Not intro but like soundtrack. Idk what my favorite Naruto intro is. There's a lot of good ones. Ok tangent/thought over. -bye-[/spoiler]
