Why Koichi is embarrassed about the Japan Humour Blog of the Year Victory - an interview with Tofugu
On February 02, 2008 in Interviews, Uncategorized
If you missed it, yesterday we found out that Tofugu’s mission is to “make interest in Japan cool again”. Today we are back with Koichi taking a look at some of the great content on Tofugu that earned it Best Japan Homour Blog 2007 and why he is embarrassed about it.
Here is some of Koichi’s favourite content related to learning Japanese (good stuff!):
Learn Japanese from Anime in only 5 minutes a day (not)
Beginning Japanese 1: Where do I start
Beginning Japanese 2: Hatsuon is King
Beginnine Japanese 3: Taking steps
DailyJ: Congratulations on becoming the undisputed Best Japan Blog of the Year 2007. But did you have to beat us all so badly? I mean 365 votes, come on! 
Koichi: I was very embarrassed about that, I really shouldn’t have gotten so many votes, considering how great all the other blogs are, and how much support they have.
The runners up were:
Great blogs all. DailyJ was cheering for Gaijin Tonic (a past interviewee).
Well, that’s all for today. But I have some more Tofugu for you tomorrow when Koichi will tell us a bit about how he got started with the site and other fun (”behind the scenes”) facts.
To all a good day!

[…] All. Today we are back one last time with Koichi of Tofugu.com (Japan Humour Blog of the Year 2007). I first heard about Tofugu from Thomas at NihonHacks.com when he recommended them as a good […]
I voted for GaijinTonic myself.
I was surprised the Gaba teachers site was not nominated?
Gaba Teacher Association would have been a good nominee too (it might be the funniest of the whole lot)
But I guess it doesn’t really qualify as a blog. Actually I don’t know why GTA doesn’t use a blog, seems like that would make things easier
[…] hope you enjoyed the Tofugu interview. If you missed it here are the posts: 1, 2, 3, […]
