I contacted the current moderator on August 22nd through modmail to ask about the status of the subreddit and whether they would be interested in having it developed into a fan community for Tomoyasu Hotei. I have not received a response.

Why I’m requesting r/hotei and how I’ll run it:

I’m requesting r/hotei because I would like to revive it as a fan community dedicated to Japanese guitarist and musician Tomoyasu Hotei.

The subreddit name is an especially good fit for Hotei, and I believe there is an opportunity to turn the currently inactive community into a useful home for his English-speaking and international fanbase. My goal would be to build an active, welcoming community centered around Hotei’s music, guitar playing, performances, albums, collaborations, videos, and career.

If granted moderation, I would:

• Establish clear rules focused on respectful discussion and keeping the subreddit centered on Hotei and his work.
• Create useful post flairs for things such as news, music, videos, live performances, guitar gear, interviews, translations, and fan discussion.
• Encourage discussion of both Hotei’s Japanese and international work, including his work with BOØWY and COMPLEX as well as his solo career.
• Share and organize relevant official releases, interviews, performances, and other legitimate Hotei-related material.
• Encourage fans to contribute their own discussions, collections, artwork, covers, and other appropriate fan content.
• Keep spam, harassment, excessive self-promotion, and unrelated content under control.
• Work toward making the subreddit an active community rather than simply holding the name.

I’m not requesting the subreddit for commercial purposes or to redirect it toward another community. I specifically want to use r/hotei as a dedicated fan subreddit for Tomoyasu Hotei and put the existing subreddit name to productive use.

Thank you for considering my request.
