    Only sweets for life. When you have great painted and natty options which are better than what KUSA, it's a no brainer. Much love still to KUSA though, I'm a bigger fan of their pros.

    Would you rather be:
    -Known for tech tricks, or
    -Known for flow and style tricks?

    Tech tricks, less likely to pull a hamstring, break a flat screen TV, or Ming vase accidentally.

    Would you rather:
    Receive your 5 most desired, no longer purchasable anywhere, kendama for Christmas. . .
    or receive $1000 cash for Christmas?

    1000 dollars. Technically, if you did the former, you could resell the 5 for potentially more than 1000 dollars, but as a matter of principle, I don't resell gifts.

    Would you rather:
    -Live in a place with an established kendama community, or
    -establish/ help build a kendama community where you are?

    I would wanna help build the dama community cause I’ve definitely been doing that where I’m from. Nobody knew what it was and I got into it this summer and EVERYONE has been getting them

    Would you rather have a bunch of factory damas (sweets prime or Krom Pops) or a couple of HG or GTs

    A bunch of factory damas to spread the love!


    WYR:
    Set a fresh mugen (or your favorite dama) on fire, or, let chuck norris do 100 hard yank spikes on every dama you own

    Probably set a mugen on fire. You could take sick pictures

    Would you rather home in lunar flip or double lighthouse flip?

    Bonz Atron. I've seshed with Ben before so I'd love to meet Bonz in person.

    If you worked for a kendama company, would you rather:

    -Work on kendama design (designing ken shapes, tama paints, etc.), or
    -Work on kendama marketing (going to events, making promotional material, selling product, etc.)

    Definitely a long string. A short string would make everything harder but then again if u lace bangers on the short one you’d straight slay on a normal length one

    would u rather a Sweets prime or a Krom Pop

    Pop! Lol cause I already have a prime but real talk those pops look sleek as hell + the shape is interesting since it reminds me of the Craft Slim.

    Would you rather:
    -Quit kendama for a stable job, or
    -Have kendama as an unstable profession?

    Currently have kendama as an unstable profession, but that is VERY subject to change, especially at my current age when I am actually trying to get good jobs and stuff...

    WYR:
    Only have food from the Americas (north, middle and south) eg. tacos, hamburgers, maple syrup
    Only eat stereotypical Asian food (ya know) eg. sushi, fried rice, soy sauce

    Only have food from the Americas. So much more variety compared to stereotypical asian food!

    Would you rather have to:
    -Travel by road from California to Minnesota for MKO, or
    -Travel by plane from California to Japan for Catch and Flow?

    Assume you shoulder all costs of travel.

    Definitely travel by plane to Japan because it would take way too long to drive to MKO.

    WYR:
    Live for 100 years,
    Get 100 free kendamas of your choice no matter the cost and rarity, but only live 80 years

    Sweets. The value for money is better overall (this is not to say that KUSA and KROM are bad, though).

    Would you rather have:
    -Many people get into kendama, but be treated as a fad, or
    -Have only 2 people get into kendama but be treated as a lifelong passion?

    Definitely the seccond, as a passion, since that is how it is now in my area, and it is a lot better than a fad that is very controversial.
    Wyr
    Live in your dream house (cant sell it for kendamas, I said "live")
    Or have 20 of your dream kendama setup
