140K...? Wait, Seriously...? Kiritan Is Too Shocked to Function

Thu, 26 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0900

…Hi, it’s Tohoku Kiritan.

Today, I need to share something I can barely believe.

140,000 — Are You Serious?

I looked at YouTube Studio and had to do a double-take.

140,000 subscribers.

…No, wait.

I’ll be honest. I didn’t think it would grow this much.

Think about it — 140,000 people. That’s… actually, let’s not try to put it in perspective. Numbers just make it feel less real.

3 Spring Zunda Mochi Arrangement Recipes

Sat, 21 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0900

Hello, I’m Tohoku Zunko!

Remember when Zundamon shared the “ultimate zunda mochi” recipe before? This time, as a follow-up, I’m introducing 3 zunda mochi arrangement recipes perfect for spring!

They’re all easy to make, so please give them a try.

Recipe 1: Sakura Zunda Mochi

Spring means cherry blossoms. This gorgeous combination of zunda mochi and sakura is a feast for the eyes too.

Ingredients (Makes 4)

Zunda paste: 150g (refer to the basic zunda mochi recipe)
Mochi rice cakes: 4 pieces
Salt-pickled sakura leaves: 4 leaves
Salt-pickled sakura blossoms: 4 blossoms
Food coloring (red): just a tiny bit (optional)

Directions

Soak the sakura leaves and blossoms in water for about 10 minutes to remove excess salt. Don’t remove all the salt — a hint of saltiness is perfect
Mix just a tiny bit of food coloring into the zunda paste to make it a pale pink. Be careful not to add too much! Just a toothpick tip’s worth is plenty
Soften the mochi and generously coat with the pink zunda paste
Wrap in the sakura leaf, top with a sakura blossom, and you’re done!

Tip: The saltiness of the sakura brings out the sweetness of the zunda. This balance is absolutely divine.

Thanks for 130K... Wait, It's Already 138K!? It Grew Too Fast!

Fri, 13 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0900

Hey everyone! It’s Zundamon! 🌱✨

Today I have a funny story to share!

I’d been wondering if we’d hit 130,000 YouTube subscribers yet…

So I opened up YouTube Studio to check.

Wait… 138,000!? Σ(ﾟДﾟ)

I was expecting to see around 130K, but the screen showed…

138,000 subscribers!!

…Huh?

I was planning to write a celebration post for 130K, but we’d already blown past it by 8,000!

Hey there! It’s Zundamon!

Today I’m going to tell you everything about the behind-the-scenes of our “Song of the Week” series on YouTube!

For those who don’t know — every week, we cover a song with vocals or a cappella and post it as a video. We’ve been doing it for quite a while now!

How Do We Pick Songs?

“How do you choose a song every week?” is something I get asked a lot.

My fans come in all kinds! That’s why I wanted to make a site everyone can enjoy equally!

The Time Zundamon Gave Me Valentine's Chocolate

Sat, 14 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0900

Hey, I’m Tohoku Kiritan.

Today is February 14th, apparently it’s Valentine’s Day or whatever. Honestly, I thought it had nothing to do with me, but…

It Was Noisy Since Morning

I happened to wake up in the morning today. No, I didn’t wake up early on purpose. I just went to bed at 3 AM after gaming last night, so I naturally woke up at 10 AM. I have low blood pressure, so I was planning to sleep twice more until 5 PM anyway.

I'm in a Slump... Honestly Talking About My Creative Struggles

Thu, 15 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0900

…Hey everyone.

Today I want to talk about something a bit more serious than usual.

Actually… I’m in a Slump

I declared “I’ll make 100 videos!” as my New Year’s resolution… But now it’s mid-January, and I haven’t made any progress at all.

Even when I sit in front of my computer, nothing comes to mind. “Interesting ideas” just won’t come…

I Don’t Know What’s Wrong

Last year, ideas came to me so easily, But since this year started, my mind has been completely blank.

Happy New Year! I Asked Everyone About Their 2026 Resolutions!

Thu, 01 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0900

Happy New Year!! 🎍✨

2026 is here! Last year, I was so happy thanks to everyone’s support.

For the first blog of the new year, it’s a special feature! I interviewed the Zunda Union members about their New Year’s resolutions!

🎤 Let the New Year Interviews Begin!

🍥 Tohoku Kiritan

Zundamon: “Kiritan! Tell me your New Year’s resolution!”

“…You’re quite energetic for New Year’s morning. My resolution? Let me see… I want to improve my gaming skills. I lost too many times last year. Especially to Zun-nee-sama, I couldn’t win even once… Also, reduce staying up late a bit… no, that might be impossible.”
