... that
anime musician and YouTuber MindaRyn is from Thailand? Source: Multiple sources in the article
ALT1:... that Thai YouTuber MindaRyn began an
anime singing career after her music covers were noticed by a Japanese record label? Source:
[1] (English source),
[2] (Thai source)
Comment: The fact I wanted to share with the hook is that she's an anime musician from Thailand, so ideally I'd wish any hook to be about that. As far as I know, she's the first Thai singer to perform a theme song for an anime, so if a source could be found that confirms that, I could add it to the article and propose a hook based on that too. Additional hook suggestions welcome.
article is long enough (albeit quite short), properly cited (almost), the hook fact is cited and verified, and no close paraphrasing detected. Just one thing I noticed - the album "Shine!" and the release date of 1 December 2021, seem to be uncited. I'll approve hook ALT1 if that's OK, because the ALT0 seems a bit of a "so what?" hook. I'm guessing the significance is that she's a Thai person who's made it big in a normally Japanese market, but that doesn't seem to be conveyed by the ALT0 hook. I had a quick look for evidence that she was the first such, but didn't find any... happy to consider an alt hook based on that if you find one. Otherwise, once the above citation is fixed, this is good to go. Cheers —

@
Narutolovehinata5: thanks, and I think it would be better if it is explicitly added to the discography - AFAIK it is a convention that we like all entries in such tables to be explicitly cited, even if they are already cited elsewhere. If nothing else, this guards against it getting lost if the prose is later edited. Cheers —
