From my point of view, the tags presently used are culturally unfitting to describe the phenomenon known as Yōkai (or Yaoguai or Yogoe, respectively). Furthermore, I would have no problem if tags were used consistently, i.e. if Yōkai were always categorized under "Monsters", for example. But...

I believe it would be helpful if there were a specific "Yōkai" tag as an umbrella term for manga featuring East Asian legendary creatures. (The Chinese Yaoguai and Korean Yogoe could also very well be listed under the comparatively better known Japanese term, for all three terms denote the same...

Chapter 11, 12, 13 of Kalsarin won't load no matter how often they are reloaded and the MD moderator on discord told me to inform the scanlator about this, for it seems to be an upload error. Thus I am here. I would be very grateful if you could fix this.

Today I have chosen a polyphonous US folk song from 1855, "Singing School". Since the lyrics are clearly understandable, I don't want to say much more. It is performed by the Boston Camerata under the lead of Joel Cohen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUfVVP8JMrg

Today I have chosen to go with Latvian traditional music, namely "Whissby", performed by Ilgi. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKNEDdg3w5g

Today, I go again with Japanese Western Classical music. The "Nagauta Symphony 'Tsurukame' " composed by Yamada Kōsaku, or Kôsçak Yamada how he stylized his name in the West, truly is a meeting between Western and Eastern Music, combining traditional Japanese nagauta singing with a Western...

As for me, in my country (Germany) the average male is 179.9 cm tall while I am about 15 cm smaller. Physical disability stunted my growth. But at least I am not of average height. That would be boring, after all.

Like it is always the case with music archaeology and ancient music from eras where no...

Today I continue with Jewish traditional music, though this time it is klezmer music of the Ashkenazi Jews of Eastern Europe. The two pieces "Lebedig un Freilach" and "Odessa Bulgar" are performed by the David Orlowsky Trio who are inspired by the klezmer scene in early 20th century New York...

My choice of the day is "Avrix mi galanica", a song of the Sephardi Jews with roots in Medieval Spain. It is telling of a pair of lovers. The young man wants to visit his lover but she is afraight her family might hear them. He thus tells her how to get her father, mother and brother to sleep so...

Me again. I once already had posted Western Classical Music by Japanese composers, but seeing as it is such wonderful music and we are on a webside dedicated to Japanese popular culture, among others, I will do so again. My choice today is music Ifukube Akira, or Akira Ikufube as he is known in...

Today I have chosen likely the most ancient music yet. In fact, the "zaluzi to the gods", also known as "Hurrian Hymn 6", belongs to some of the oldest notated music known. The Hurrians were a Syrian and Anatolian ethnicity of the second millennium BC, in other words of the Bronze Age in the...

When Bach meets Brazil you get something far more Brazilian rather than Baroque. At least this is the case for the "Bachianas Brasileiras" composed by Bazilian composer Heitor Villa-Lobos. Today I have chosen the "Tocata (Desafio)" from the "Bachianas Brasileiras No. 7", here performed by the...
