Just learned that singer-songwriter #Aimyon is #Shimanchu and has relatives in/from #Okinawa. https://youtu.be/6h4g1K2c6Vw

She recently appeared on Nakasone Izumi's (HY) YouTube channel so I must watch it to see if she talks about her Okinawa family connection.

RIP Sakamoto Ryuichi. He collaborated with #Shimanchu artists when he covered *Shin* “Asadoya Yunta” among other songs from #Okinawa https://youtu.be/tpckX28OxD4

The full MV for #SevenOops “Yoake 夜明け” is up and it’s amazing! https://youtu.be/xzsfwwDErOw #Okinawa #Shimanchu #Music

New 5-episode J-drama “Fence” (WOWOW) filmed in Okinawa is loaded with a #Shimanchu cast! Among those appearing (sadly, both leads are not shimanchu) are Yonashiro Sho from JO1, Shiisaa, Matsuda Ruka, legend Yoshida Taeko, Aragaki Yui (special appearance), Higa Nanako, Sakumoto Takara, Nikkii, Kingentei Anju among others and the theme song is Awich’s amazing “Tsubasa” featuring her daughter Yomi Jah. #Okinawa #JDrama

Pro cyclist Arashiro Yukiya (Bahrain Victorious) will be in the Volta a Catalunya! I think this is his first big race of the season. https://www.voltacatalunya.cat/en/team/TBV/bahrain-victorious #Cycling #Shimanchu #Okinawa

Musician YU-KA will be performing at SXSW 2023! It’ll be her first concert outside of #Okinawa & Japan. https://schedule.sxsw.com/2023/artists/2066072 #Shimanchu

Watching and enjoying the anime series “Blue Lock ブルーロック” and noticed the writer is one Kaneshiro Muneyuki 金城宗幸. First thought is a fellow shimanchu! He’s from Osaka but not much else is known about him. #Anime #Okinawa #Ryukyu #Luchu #BlueLock #Shimanchu #Uchinanchu

There are two players from Okinawa playing for Team Japan in the 2023 WBC: catcher Ōshiro Takumi (Naha) and pitcher Miyagi Hiroya (Ginowan). The team are currently unbeaten at 4-0! https://www.japan-baseball.jp/en/team/topteam/2023/wbc/player.html #Baseball #Uchinanchu #Shimanchu #WBC #SamuraiJapan
