About Chokuju-Johnny
Chokuju-Johnny (@chokujujohnny) is a Japan-based bassist who posts synth covers of retro video game music, most of them built in KORG Gadget. Recent uploads are short clips, often under a minute, with screen captures of classic titles from MSX, NES, and Famicom. The channel shows a clear focus on chiptune-style sound design and gear transparency, with descriptions that list the instruments and synth patches used.
The channel has about 1,560 subscribers and 137 videos in total, with a median of roughly 340 views per upload. Based on topic and language, its viewers are likely to be Japanese-speaking retro gaming and music production fans, with a smaller English-speaking audience. These figures are estimates drawn from channel data rather than verified audience reports.
No sponsorships have been detected, and the channel has not posted in over five years. Based on a rate of $20 to $35 per 1,000 median views for long-form content, or $4 to $8 for Shorts-heavy channels, a sponsored integration is estimated at $150 to $250. That is a lower CPM than paid ads, which typically run $10 to $30, so the channel suits small music software or audio gear brands with modest budgets.
