Reorganizing My YouTube Channels: A Quick Update

If you’ve been browsing my blog recently, you might’ve noticed a few changes—especially when it comes to my YouTube channels and how they’re presented.

At the very top of the button section, I’ve added a Buy Me A Coffee button. This one’s simple: if you’ve enjoyed my videos, blog posts, or any of the content I’ve been sharing, feel free to send a virtual coffee my way. Whether it’s to show appreciation, encourage me to keep going, or just because you feel like it—it means a lot.

Right below that, there’s a button leading you to Life in Rural Japan Karl & Hiromi. This is our shared YouTube channel, where we post about our daily life out here in the Japanese countryside. We share seasonal vibes, local culture, traditional food, and just our quiet little world surrounded by nature. It’s all the small things that make living here feel special.

Next up is Karl FPV Drone Adventures, the channel I recently rebranded to focus entirely on my FPV drone journey. You’ll find flights, mistakes, crashes, lessons, and the gradual process of learning to fly and film better with each session. You can find the Karl FPV button just below the Life in Rural Japan one—or if you’re on a phone, it’s all further down toward the bottom of the post.

And finally, there’s Easy Origami for Everybody—my first channel ever. We don’t upload new videos to it anymore, but it’s still online for anyone who wants to try out beginner-friendly paper folding. It started out as a fun experiment, creating easy origami videos that anyone could follow. Eventually, we ran out of simple ideas. Sure, there’s an endless amount of advanced origami out there, but that wasn’t really the point of this channel. We kept it basic and accessible.

Looking back at all this content—some of it feels kind of cringe, to be honest. But it’s also meaningful. I can see how much I’ve grown. I still feel like my talking-to-camera skills and editing style aren’t quite where I want them to be yet. But I believe in the kaizen approach: get 1% better with every video, and over time, the results will compound.

Thanks for being here and following along. Your support—whether it’s a view, a comment, or a coffee—really does make a difference.
