Japan’s National Theatre has risen to the occasion after the cancellation of Yoshitsune Senbon Zakura (Yoshitsune and the Thousand Cherry Trees), which was originally scheduled to open for audiences in Tokyo on March 3 of this year. Instead, the performance, sans audience, will be posted to the theatre’s online YouTube channel. In fact, the play, split into three videos, is available for viewing right now, and will be free to watch to your heart’s content until April 30, 3:00 p.m. JST.

ことばドリル | NHK for School

Japanese language exercises aimed at school children but also great for non-native learners like me. For me it didn't work in Firefox, which is my preferred browser, but this could possibly be because of my paranoid privacy-enhancing browser extensions.

Self-Hosting Google Web Fonts | Mario Ranftl
https://google-webfonts-helper.herokuapp.com/fonts, posted 2020 by peter in css google online typography webdesign
From author's notes:
Let’s get this straight: The effort to host Google web fonts on your own server is immense! First of all you need to download all
.eot
,.woff
,.woff2
,.ttf
and.svg
files, then copy them onto your server and finally paste a CSS snippet.Sounds easy? Well it could be, if Google would actually provide any direct links to download these files and a customized CSS for self-hosting them. To fix this problem without using font generation services like Font Squirrel, I decided to publish a little service called google-webfonts-helper.
