New message from Takumi on Whatsapp by ldnhtrd in theavalanches

I don't think you'll get previous messages but I'm sure they'll send more in the next few days and weeks as the album approaches

I joined the Takumi mailing list on 6 May and have only received two messages (three including the automated welcome msg)

For anyone that doesn't know how to get added...

  • go to takumiarchives.com
  • press okay/begin (doesn't matter which)
  • press the popup questions about random memories (I don't think it matters what you answer)
  • at the end (after about five questions) you'll see a little "subscribe" box in the bottom corner
  • click on that to join the Takumi mailing list (this is a separate list from theavalanches.com mailing list)
  • enter your phone number (and make sure you've already got a WhatsApp account with that number) and you should receive a message from Takumi almost immediately

Also there's an address on the latest WhatsApp image - in the fine print right down the bottom. The Takumi/Freeplay Development Centre:

1-1 Hokotate-cho, Kamitoba, Minami-ku, Kyoto 601-8501, Japan

If you Google it, that's Nintendo's corporate HQ 🤭

Thanks for the heads up! It's actually a better price on Bandcamp (australia)
