Cool find as I was out looking for a concert tape holder after working in a coffee shop: a sample version of the Japanese release of the original London Cast recording of Chess the Musical

Which I just think is neat

There’s no adventure to beat, just pets to meet

I had a lot of fun pretending I could have a dog in my pet-free Japanese apartment, this is very cute and fun
Inu Atsume is a delightful virtual pet sim for dog lovers across VR and mixed reality.

Genuinely, I was tempted to give this a perfect score. This is a brilliant puzzle title from the Manifold Garden devs, transforming your room into an impossible space as you physically walk through this hotel

One of the best experiences I've had in the medium

This kid on the train in front of me sat down while I stand, opened their bag to reveal a Minecraft LEGO, before pulling out a Japanese dictionary and just started reading it wholesale

Honestly, respect

…I’m not saying it, but I am thinking it. Deeply.

We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.

And there we have it. After 22 years, the record for the highest-grossing Japanese live-action film of all time is beaten!

Kokuho has had unprecedented success, growing weekly for over a month, earning incredible word of mouth, for what is ostensibly a 3-hour dense drama about an outdated art form

This number has caused confusion, earlier data suggested the foreigners commit crimes less than Japanese. It's precisely because of that earlier number, that Tsutomu Ohtsu of Sanseito posed the police a different question, to get a different answer.

If 2023 was the year AI slop was embraced by spammers and social media influencers, and 2024 was the year the slop era began in earnest, 2025 was when slop became embedded in our cultural institutions and social spheres.

On the slop layer that we all must navigate now:
Lost in the slop layer
How AI has encrusted our culture and social sphere in a sedimentary layer of slop.

Update: this guy got called out by the Twitter update and seems to have deleted their account
One thing I’ll never be able to explain to a number of people not living in Japan or following social media about Japanese politics is how there’s an account called Colonel Otaku Gatekeeper

He’s a British dude pretending to be Japanese, using translators and constantly spreading false info

Gotta say, casting Ano for a Flowers of Evil adaptation is kinda a stroke of genius

EXCLUSIVE: So far it's been unclear what proof Rockstar Games has to justify its firing of 34 union members, who it claims were leaking "confidential information in a public forum".

PMG has now seen some of the messages which contributed to this decision being made.

今日も気になるアパートで申し込むと「本物件外国籍不可となります」という返事をもらいました。やはりね。悔しいけど

Once again, I apply for an apartment to be told they won’t rent to foreigners. As expected. Still frustrating

I just finished the last unpacking from the weekend a bit ago, after spending a good chunk of time distracted and another chunk doing some work

Had to rather suddenly head out, though, so rather than resting I’m on the move again!

I do think it’s a rather funny bit for the Ado merch for the concert to include a multi-color pen, but have all of the colors just be blue

新曲、シャンデレリア日本デビュー、歯ちゃんバルーン、ものすごいセトリ、この4日間本当にありがとうございました!!

もっと言いたいけどまだ会場いるし胸いっぱくて少し今夜帰る時まで待ってます。でも本当に素晴らしいドームツアーでした!

A new song, a JP performance of Chandelier, a tooth balloon which Ado rode, a superb setlist, in full of emotions and there’s so much more I want to say but what an amazing 4 days!
今日は千秋楽なので、よろしくお願いします!ライブ楽しみにしてます!

One more live to go, really looking forward to it, let’s go!

Going to say something about 5 followers if that will understand but made me absurdly happy this morning

Hankyu Railways has Fenwicks Window

Video only very partially related

Not me checking out of my hotel and there’s another person I don’t know also in their Ado gear getting ready to go

It’s not that it should be unusual since live weekend and this hotel was close to the venue but to leave rooms next to each other at the same time made me chuckle
November 23, 2025 at 12:32 AM
There were these three built-up guys in front of me at the live that by the end were wiping tears and just sat there silent for about 5-10mins unmoving before even talking to one another

And like, I get it
November 22, 2025 at 12:55 PM
今日もライブ最高だった。何回見ても歌唱力が圧倒されてます。アリーナ真ん中も良い席だ。もっと言いたいけどネタバレの理由で我慢してます

明日ドームツアーと今年最後だから最後まで応援します

Another amazing live, I’m just always floored by her ability even after so many. I had another great seat in the exact arena middle too! Spoilers so I’ll stop there, one more day!
