Me, a few hours back into America Mode:

I could fuck up a Tower Records rn. I wonder where the closest big music store is.

Looks like episodes of something with them and another artist doing something together? Thanks, I’ll probably check it out after traveling back!

I’m honestly surprised anyone else I know has even heard of Shishamo ha

@mattfromalaska.bsky.social looked for a mew in two large Pokémon stores and finally secured one… in a game center

Oh my god, I have never truly known water pressure until this very moment.

Everyone else here is either in a suit or is otherwise clearly like 100x cooler than I am. Seeing as I am not a diplomat or rock star, I am very much out of place and embarrassing myself here.

I thought I would try a fancy hotel room for a few days before going to a regular one in Tokyo. I have to use two elevators and tap my room card at no less than two “security door” looking things to get to even arrive at the room. A nice lady showed me what all of the room’s buttons and screens do.

Oh and then he pulled out a picture of himself serving food to Watanabe Ken, which, to be fair, is pretty rad.

Thus far I have had precisely two interactions to speak of where I tried to use Japanese:

One in which I asked a question about the trees in a garden and it was understood and went swimmingly,

And dinner just now where the shop owner went “you good at Japanese?” and I said “lol no” and he laughed.

Matt, finding the smallest gacha corner I’ve ever seen: “Oooh no. I’m gonna spend a lot of money at these.”

It’s been 25.5 hours since I’ve slept a wink, and that last sleep was four hours long. Shockingly I feel fine but I’m also swaying back and forth so probably ultimately not fine.

Yeah, but, showering and drying off and getting into bed with the room’s AC cranked way up is the best feeling in the world after that.

Abandoned Matt in the customs line because my documentation was fine

Matt, from Alaska @mattfromalaska.bsky.social · 16d

Almost had a panic attack in the customs line. But then I didn’t 😎

What. I can’t hear you. I’m over the Pacific Ocean and the WiFi is really bad.

What if the Pacific Ocean had WiFi and it was really bad
