In the Tohoku region of Japan where I live, the year has begun with a fierce battle against heavy snow.
Although my snowblower makes the job a bit easier, I still spend 2 to 3 hours every day facing the snow head-on. It’s so physically demanding that I’m often left immobilized for hours afterward.
Despite this hectic start to the year, I managed to find some time to update the fan site’s page builder to the latest version.
Due to the restructuring of the "Cookie Consent Manager," I have removed the direct YouTube links for thumbnail videos. Instead, I re-uploaded video files I previously created. While cookie consent regulations aren't as strict here in Japan yet, I am well aware of the stringent rules in the EU and other regions. Using direct YouTube links, even for thumbnails, can be problematic in terms of compliance. Please note, however, that the "Cookie Consent Manager" is still a work in progress and may not yet offer full functionality.
I have also removed links to some videos that were no longer playable.
Currently, I am focusing heavily on my own business, so I apologize that I haven't been able to do much beyond fixing site bugs and issues. That said, whenever I have a spare moment, I’m checking out the latest videos on YouTube and keeping up with daily updates on social media.
I will continue to support the Country Sisters with all my heart this year as well!
