Quick intro, as I never did one here or at the Other Place: originally from the United Kipperdom of Brexitania, but lived Elsewhere for most of my life, in Japan since the Lehman Shock (but first visit in Heisei 4). Live on a homestead on the Daikon Prairie in the west of Tokyo's 23ku.

I've been seeing the image on the left floating around social media, but it sadly lacks explanation of the exotic Oriental concepts contained therein, so as I am off work today with a brain stuck in silly mode, I have attempted a tribute act to the written works of @gaijinmommy.bsky.social

Just imagine how mad Chinese people on social media will be when they find out Taiwan has Donki stores.

Aha, that's a subject matter outside of my information sphere, but the second shitty use of "AI" videos I've heard about from this site this morning, so #fuckAI.

It has traditionally unreliable for Japanese addresses (Yahoo Maps is better if you want to actually find somewhere) and I don't trust features like the opening hours of businesses.

I wonder if Ishiba's former (or current) hairdresser was ever consulted for their opinion?

"Her former hairdresser, Yukitoshi Arai, believes she is well prepared to solve Japan's problems and even her hairstyle - which he has dubbed the 'Sanae Cut' - is designed to show she is paying attention to people."
