the idol franchise japan is gatekeeping | uta no prince-sama
hi everyone! today we are looking into uta no prince-sama.
this was one of my first franchises that i interacted with when i was younger, and i yearn for more content. utapri seems to still be alive and well, but just not outside of japan.
another disclaimer that this video is all in good fun, and i don't want to come across as entitled for all media to be excessable to the u.s., but i can still be sad that i cannot engage more with the franchise i loved as a kid.
please like and subscribe for more videos! feel free to talk to me about this video or anything in general, and let me know if there's a topic you'd be interested in me talking about!
LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE to see the new and upcoming content i have planned.
