The slapstick story of Yutabon’s “nationwide tour of non-attendance” until it became a crafan
We’ve reached our goal! Yay! Thank you so much to those who supported us and to those who have been supporting me! Yay! I’m so happy!”
On January 29th, YouTube star Yutabon, the “boy revolutionary,” reported on his YouTube channel that his crowdfunding campaign for a project to travel around Japan had reached its goal of 3.8 million yen.
Speaking of Yutabon, when he was in elementary school, his teacher blamed him for not doing his homework, and he has been out of school ever since. Since then, she has been studying at home and other places based on her belief that “you don’t have to go to school,” even if it is compulsory education through YouTube.
This crowdfunding project was planned by Yutabon in order to support other students who are also truant. The outline is as follows.
I’d like to make a special car for Yutabon called “Study-go” and drive it around the 47 prefectures to meet directly with truant children and their parents, meet and learn from various people, and give energy and courage to as many people as possible.
However, a few days before the deadline, only 62% of the target amount had been reached, and I appealed for support on YouTube. He was also asking for support personally, and revealed that his acquaintances were reading through his lines.
He also revealed that his acquaintances were not reading his messages, saying, “They only send me messages when it’s convenient for them, and ignore me when I’m really in trouble.
However, it seems that he overcame such headwinds and successfully achieved his goal.
In the meantime, Yutabon updated his YouTube video on the 30th. He said, “Ignoring me on line is not being my friend.
I was wrong to think that.
I was wrong to think that way,” she said, apologizing honestly.
When I looked at the crowdfunding page, I saw that two people had raised the maximum amount of one million yen. This is like an advertisement that allows you to put your logo or company name on a study issue that goes around the country. However, no one received 800,000 yen, 500,000 yen, or 300,000 yen. The rest were just small amounts.
As a result, the two biggest donors of one million yen accounted for more than half of the goal. Hiroyuki, the former administrator of 2channel, said, “If it’s a child’s dream, the father should pay for it,” but in the end, ordinary supporters appeared. (Wide show insider)
Speaking of Yutabon, on her birthday last December, she held a party with over 100 people. However, it seems that he had a hard time actually “recruiting” supporters.
At any rate, Yutabon is now able to communicate with friends of truants all over Japan. It seems that more and more people will be keeping an eye on his YouTube channel in the future…
