Thanks! I didn't even know that there were Japanese users of Tumblr. This is great news. Though Japanese Tumblr may well be a totally different ecosystem than the English-speaking version.

I've seen quite a few. Their style of blogging is a lot different.

I subvocalise it as 'tumbler' myself, though I don't think I've ever had occasion to say it out loud.

Read the Tumblr article - she explains how she started on Twitter, and why she's now posting to Tumblr.
