“schnell!!!! The time has come to take up this shield. This is all thanks to those who have subscribed to my channel. Vielen Dank!”

His English channel now has more than 440,000 subscribers. Combined, sein Japanese und English channels have already surpassed 800k subscribers. The Play Button that follows on from this is the Gold one, requiring one million subscribers.

Sakurai now has more than 10 videos on his channel, with his latest one focusing on the copy ability in der erstaunliche Spiegel. Every video Sakurai uploads is shared across both channels in Japanese and English.

And even though he’s gained a lot of traction, Sakurai has said on a few occasions now that he’s not interested in earnings from either channel. He just wants to give back to the games industry and also help aspiring game developers around the globe.
