🟢search_chronodrawer(q, genre, year_from, year_to, limit)
Search ChronoDrawer, a month-by-month database (1960-2026) of what happened and what was released around the world: events, Japanese laws, openings, sports, music, films, TV, anime, games, manga, books, magazines, prizes, cars, mobile phones. Matches titles, English titles and people (artists, directors, authors). Japanese and English queries both work; person_match is true when one of the item's people is exactly the query. Returns dates (YYYY-MM-DD, or YYYY-MM when only the month is known), countries, date type and a source URL.
