However, I don't usually give my random facts so easily. You have to earn them.
Or you can just search for them. Not hard to find the facts I've shared before. 

But I'll be a good sport and share a random fact for now, just so everyone can get a sample of the knowledge I sometimes drop.

In Japan, there are more avenues of music professions. From genres we recognize (pop, rock, jazz; etc.) and Japanese cultural genres (enka, ondo, gagaku, etc.); to Visual aesthetic genres (Idol, Visual Kei, etc.) and more. But they also have things you might not expect like Anisong (anime song); a music profession that is focused only on making theme songs for Anime, Tokusatsu, Video Games, and other similar corners of Japanese pop culture.

And now for a bonus fact~!

You matter.  There is no such thing as someone that doesn't matter.
To illustrate my point, have some complimentary reading...

Spoiler

A well known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20 bill. In the room of 200, he asked. "Who would like this $20 bill?"

Hands started going up. He said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you - but first, let me do this."

He proceeded to crumple the 20 dollar note up. He then asked. "Who still wants it?" Still the hands were up in the air.

"Well," he replied, "what if I do this?" He dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty. "Now, who still wants it?"

Still the hands went into the air.

"My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20. Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless; but no matter what happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value.

Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless to those who love you. The worth of our lives comes, not in what we do or who we know, but by ...WHO WE ARE.

You are special - don't ever forget it."
