Message From Imouri Founder Ryan

Minna-San!

I wanted to put out a formal update given the current situation we're all facing. 🌎

First and foremost, we're all healthy and I truly hope you are too, wherever you may be. If you don't know, we're a small team here -- mainly myself and Joe -- along with some help from friends when it comes to convention circuits and production. Our store is still fully operational and we’re working hard to keep your orders going out, so whether you're waiting for an order to ship or you're planning on placing an order, know that we're up and running! 👍

Aside from all of that, just because we're all shut inside doesn't mean we can't have some fun, right? We have T E C H N O L O G Y 💻 I'm all about lifting people up and not just during the hard times. If you're feeling overwhelmed, anxious or just genuinely need an outlet, a place to talk to others, head over to our Secret Anime Club Discord (secretanimeclub.com) right now. There you can hang and chat with all of us anytime, plus plenty of other people in our little community there!

On top of that, as you read this, I am working to host Imouri livestreams regularly ASAP, each stream being a different theme over on our Twitch Channel and YouTube (@imourishop). I mentioned streaming some game nights a while back for those of you who have been following us, well... no better time to start those! Also, something a little more personal that you might not know, long before Imouri even existed, I was heavily producing dance music and DJ'ing out and about. I'm looking to do some live sessions that we could all jam together on, I think that could be fun! 🙂 And lastly, just some general live chats - Q&A's, hangouts, I've got plenty of Gunpla to build, so maybe live build streams. Going to take it one step at a time, but I've been wanting to do more live/video work recently for the brand regardless, so there's no better time to start than now I guess? 🤷‍♂️

Anyways, I love you all. Thank you for supporting us through these trying times and please, please, please stay well, take care of yourself, your loved ones and let's all help each other get through this!  

❤️Ryan
