Quality Japan content Tiktok?
I have succumbed to Tiktok...Forgive me. When I first started engaging with Tiktok Lite, a lot of Japanese content was pushed to me by the algorythm. Some good, some junk. My favorite right now is こねこフィルム/ CONECO FILM, a producer of shorts that are absurd, funny, and touching. Have you found some excpeptional Japanese content on Tiktok? Especially content that provides you with Japanese listening comprehension, cultural insights, or off-the-beaten-path travel destinations?

@TonetoEdo Yeah, I feel much the same way. It's very generic in that I feel there are several "key themes" for the Japan vids that seem to get traction on there. E.g. "Do not do this in Japan," "Must visit locations in X," "10 reasons to visit X" and so forth. I definitely feel like I have more luck on YouTube. I've been enjoying the content from Chani in Japan, which you and helloalissa recommended. That's definitely more my vibe!

@genkidesu I hear you on the influency issue. Tiktok Lite nudges users to search (with tiny points rewards). So I search in Japanese for surrounding cities, places of interest, and hobbies so I discover some informative Tiktokkers. And cooking, of course! I discover recipes by either searching for dishes or ingredients in Japanese. Lots of inspiration. When I find exceptional ones, I'll post here.

@genkidesu When I retired my old iPad mini last month, I stopped using TIktok for a while. While I using Tiktok on the old device, I found official prefecture and city accounts. They tend to digest their excellent photos and videos. Other than that, amplified junk videos. So on the new device, I didn't bother to download it.
