I'm just a big Otaku sharing the two hobbies I love the most: Anything anime and photography. Of course, I care what's going on in the world so some news here and there I will share. What does HAMAKKO [浜っ子, はまっこ] mean? It means a "native of Yokohama."

FYI; Filming “The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006)” at the Shibuya Scramble Crossing required a distraction, a martyr, and a willingness to break the rules. Full story in the ALT
#Cinema #MovieMagic

The objective was the most coveted, most impossible target in all of Tokyo: the pulsing, pedestrian maelstrom of Shibuya Crossing. For The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006), securing the scene demanded not a permit, but a conspiracy.
Director Justin Lin and his crew chose the path of cinematic rebellion, orchestrating a high-stakes, unsanctioned film operation. Knowing that Japanese authorities would shut them down immediately, they devised the ultimate insurance policy: The Decoy Director.
This stand-in was hired not to shout "Action!", but to take the fall.
The trap sprung as planned. Sirens wailed, and the police descended upon the chaotic set. While the real crew kept the cameras rolling, the sacrificial hero stepped forward, accepting responsibility for the entire unauthorized shoot. His reward? A night in a Tokyo holding cell.
The sacrifice was total—and effective. The true masters of the moment secured their raw, electric footage: authentic crowds, genuine chaos, and one of the franchise's most iconic sequences.
It's a defiant reminder that sometimes, the only way to capture true, unforgettable movie magic is to break the rules... and hire a willing martyr.

Ugh, I get you. Just last month, I had an emergency ration chocolate cookie that needed to rotate. I am sure it tasted as though it were mummified dough from the Pharos era.

This is the ad Donald Trump woke up furious about.

Would be a shame if it went viral.

"Osamu Tezuka loved comics but couldn’t afford expensive American titles like Disney and Superman after World War II."

"Osamu Tezuka loved comics but couldn’t afford expensive American titles like Disney and Superman after World War II.
They cost ¥500 per issue, which was impossible for most Japanese kids. So he decided to create his own entertainment.
In 1947, he released The New Treasure Island for just ¥100. It sold 400,000 copies in a year. Instead of copying American style, he used cinematic techniques, close-ups, wide shots, and emotional expressions. This became the birth of modern manga.
By 1950, he quit medical school and focused only on storytelling. He created Princess Knight, the first hit manga with a strong female lead. Manga began to outsell American comics in Japan 10 to 1.
The big breakthrough came in 1963 with the Astro Boy anime. It used limited animation so TV shows could be made cheaply. Disney cartoons cost 10 times more.
American TV said Japanese animation looked “too cheap,” but kids loved it anyway. Astro Boy aired in 52 countries by 1965.
In the 1970s, Tezuka made Black Jack, bringing adult themes and moral complexity. American comics couldn’t do this because of censorship, but manga explored topics Western stories avoided.
By 1980, manga became 40% of all published material in Japan. Publishers around the world started copying Japan’s model as American comic sales declined.
When Tezuka died in 1989, he had created more than 700 manga series and sold over 100 million copies. His work built the foundation for anime, manga, and Japanese pop culture. Today, the industry he inspired is worth billions.
All of this started because one man couldn’t afford American comics, so he created something better."

via #Japan Daily: Neko onigiri refers to cat-shaped rice balls In japan . The word "neko" is the Japanese word for cat, and "onigiri" means rice ball. This cute food item is a popular choice for Japanese bento box lunches and meals for children. Yes, confirmed it is NOT AI.
