A Vocaloid producer who is also a music writerAraki Jakkan
I’ve worked in a variety of roles—regardless of pro or amateur settings—including live event PA, cameraman for video and photography, restaurant staff, and logistics center staff. I now spend my days as a part-time writer. I’ve contributed to music and manga websites with feature/review articles, and wrote the liner notes included as a bonus for 1st PLACE Inc.’s “IA SUPER BEST.” As for my music background, I started playing guitar in junior high and focused on band activities during my school years. For over 15 years since then, up to the present, I’ve continued releasing original tracks as a Vocaloid producer. My areas of expertise are Japanese rock, Vocaloid, and manga.

Remote Duel

People often imagine card games being played face-to-face, but playing remotely lets you easily enjoy matches during free time at home.

Unlike in-person play, camera blind spots are more likely, so it’s important to film from above so the cards on the field are clearly visible.

In some games, card effects can be quite detailed, so when you play a card, be sure to explain its effect before placing it.

Since camera angles could be exploited for cheating, mutual trust is important, and it might also be a good idea to have a monitor or observer present.
