minute of the extra time.

WTS left kidney for jamon, chocolatier, samurai blue. Low mileage, has a solid 100k miles of life left.

Solid set, would you consider white base accent keys with either blue or dark blue or red legends (I'd try to render these if I knew how) or nah?

No, in fact I've been salty the whole World Cup because back when I did my Japan trip I didn't get a jersey and they have been out of stock for the last couple weeks, unlike the Spanish ones...

2.00U shifts often come paired with 1.00U ones and split spacebars. This might be negotiable, but I'd like to keep the base kit as small as I possibly can.

I don't have any plans to offer the base kit with icon mods, or an icon mods pack.

Nice to see more monotone, if it weren't for blue cadet I'd probably be in but given my immense interest in that particular topic as opposed to my very minimal one in this, I'll probably pass. Still, wonderfully designed.

Looks very nice, and still a bit sad I had to miss out on Serika.  This will make up for it!

... but I am interested in a spacebar kit.  The hope of hope is that it comes with 2x2U, but understandable if only one.

Really digging this set. I’m normally not that fond of Hiragana sub-legends but they really add a the right amount of white for this monotone set. I’m calling it now, this will be the set I use on my single white keyboard.

Oooooooooooooooh THIS (though, sadly, I don’t think this is possible since my assumption is those sub-legends are double-shot with the other and I dunno... triple-shot? Probably not.)

We are in the middle of 2018, Jamón won't be a thing up until 2019.

Nice colors, any chance the alternate esc and enter colors could match the japan flag novelty colorway?

I didn't like the white accents with red text, a darker blue looks much better.

I forget... GMK has a “Meta” mold, right? I much prefer meta to code, but that’s a nitpick. I like this.

Meta is usually used as a substitue for "menu". I prefer to use either "system" or "code".

Would prefer standard Latin alphas (or at least as a separate kit with them), but either way I'm interested.

A standalone alphas kit isn't going to happen.

This set should really have a yattagarasu novelty. Mythical three legged crow as seen on the JFA badge.

Agreed. I'll work on it.

I've only confirmed that Jamón will probaly drop in 2019 on Massdrop. For GMK Chocolatier, I've yet to prepare most of my stuff, create the project page, and get samples from GMK, but my intention would be to run the set through Novelkeys. So if we are strictly talking about my sets dropping: GMK Chocolatier, and later on GMK Jamón.

This set is in the IC stage, so it's far from getting scheduled. If there's a more than reasonable number of people that would want the set, I'll then bother vendors and propose the idea of having a GB, but we are very very far from that point.


Samurai blue makes me think of Date Masamune and Sengoku Basara - there should totally be a crescent moon helmet novelty!

I'll also consider that one too, but I don't plan to have more than the Japanese flag and probably the yattagarasu novelty Chokkan (stoic-lemon) has suggested.
Hiragana monolegends kit pls  ;D

Not going to happen. My idea for my near future sets it's to have  one core kit, spacebars, and maybe one extra kit that provides extra layout coverage. The less we mess up with GMK setting up the machines, sorting, and shipping the better. Specially for small group buys.

Sorry, I have to be super clear with this one, but hat's exactly what I won't do. There won't be extra alphas, or icon modifiers and I do not plan to do big changes to the base kit like the one you are suggesting.

Re-read what i wrote, this won't ADD anything. 

edit: in the end i wouldn't care though, would just be even more theme related if there were no latin alphas at all :> So many latin+hiragana sets out/on their way and no hiragana only as far as i can see.
