Welcome to Centaku Media’s second edition of the Otaku Omnibus newsletter! When we first published our newsletter in October 2024, we originally intended the series to be on a quarterly basis. In this newsletter, I will explain why the newsletter has not been quarterly, and with that an update to catch everyone up on content that I’ve been working on elsewhere!

Shortform Video Playlists on YouTube

You will see a theme in this newsletter as I have been working on catching up on videos of the shortform kind. As a content creator based in the US, I have been working on reconnecting with my followers on TikTok as the platform faces an impending ban due to various reasons that are fit to explain on another platform… However, it was a reason to catch up on different types of videos as you will see in the playlists made below on YouTube!

Nakaichi’s Stream Gags Collection:

Shortform formatted stream gag highlights of our VTuber Nakaichi’s gaming adventures from previous livestreams on Twitch and YouTube.

Stream Gag Collection Highlight | VTuber Loves Fortnite Rocket Launchers:

Okay, it depends on the season and what kind it is, but when I get my hands on a rocket launcher, it’s all over. 😈

Interesting Finds Collection:

We have not forgotten its tradition as a blog with a familiar series called Interesting Finds. In written format, we cover cool and interesting find that others living the otaku lifestyle might find interesting. In the 2020s, we introduced a shortform video series of “Interesting Finds” featuring travels to various locations in the US (and eventually–around the world) that those would be interested to check out to get their fill of anime, gaming, and other Otaku interests!

Interesting Find Collection Highlight | A Miku Who Can’t Sing @ AMC Chattanooga 18:

The weekend premiere of the Hatsune Miku film, “A Miku Who Can’t Sing,” was a perfect way to celebrate a level up to Level 36 for my birthday! It was a great turnout as well and the crowd went wild during the After Show—a first time personally attending a Miku Concert in some sort of capacity. Thank you for the performance, Miku! 👏🏾

Centaku Unboxed:

Centaku Unboxed is a new extension of our Interesting Find series, but of shorts featuring unboxings of anime, games, music, and other Otaku swag!

Centaku Unboxed Collection Highlight | Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii (Collector’s Edition):

In my journey of playing and catching up to the Yakuza/Like A Dragon series, this is the first physical copy in my collection of the recently released Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, starring the beloved Goro Majima. This is the first unboxing video I’ve posted in shortform, but definitely not the last.

Skits & Edits Collection:

A playlist featuring original skits starring our VTuber, Nakaichi–and maybe a cosplay face reveal of them somewhere in there. Oh, there are also clever anime and gaming video edits that don’t fit anywhere else.

Skits & Edits Collection Highlight | Every Fandom Has That One Thing:

The “thing” is, being in these fandoms long enough I realized it’s best to not question that one out of place thing that’s happening and just appreciate it. Life’s too short. 😂

Centaku Media is Now on Kick

After careful consideration, I have decided and am excited to announce that in addition to Twitch, YouTube, and Trovo, Centaku Media now has a channel on Kick!

For those out of the loop, Kick.com is an additional option for those who prefer content outside of the above mentioned streaming sites, especially for gaming content. Having followed the development of the service for a while, it was a decision that was solidified due to the ongoing efforts of combating bad actors on Kick’s service. These two articles explains it best on why I held off on establishing a presence on the site:

1. https://www.dexerto.com/kick/kick-launches-new-categories-to-better-moderate-problematic-situations-2794366/
2. https://www.dexerto.com/kick/kick-reveals-vtuber-friendly-changes-amid-twitch-rule-controversy-2930813/

With that said, we would like to direct users to our rules as a point of reference to provide for those who decide to join our community from Kick. But this still applies to those from our established channels on Twitch, YouTube, and Trovo; everyone must be equal in abiding the rules and not use their presence/status from other communities to skirt certain rules. Furthermore, there will be updates to the server/community rules this coming in the near future.

TL;DR: Centaku Media is now on Kick! Go follow the channel! 👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾
