Kingdom Hearts, Evangelion Singer Hikaru Utada Comes Out as Non-Binary

Singer told viewers during a livestream, "I'm non-binary. Happy pride month!"

Happy Pride month to all Kingdom Hearts (and Eva I guess) fans, Utada Hikaru is non-binary!

This leaves out the best part which is their honorific pitch: Mys. Hikaru Utada, "Mys" being short for "Mystery"

[ID: A tweet from FailBetter games, and a screenshot of the traineeship description from the linked page. The tweet is from September 24th, 2020.

The tweet (by @/Failbettergames) says, “We’re offering a paid traineeship in games writing, running Nov 2 to Dec 11, open to Black candidates. You do not need to be a UK resident and are encouraged to apply regardless of familiarity with games and games writing.” They also include the above link.

The screenshot from the traineeship page says, “About remote work and flexible hours: Because of the pandemic, our studio is working remotely. We can work with trainees anywhere in the world, as long as you can be available for video calls during at least a three-hour window that overlaps the hours of 9 AM to 6 PM UK time. For example, that might mean: -A candidate in Los Angeles online from 7 AM to 10 AM, which would be 3 PM to 6 PM in the UK. -A candidate in Johannesburg online from 3 PM to 6 PM, which would be 2 PM to 5 PM in the UK. We may be able to work with you even if you can only do these hours on certain days of the week.”
