I mean, no shit melon SODA is carbonated, but since I only really drink it in Japan (and drink a LOT of it when there), it skipped my mind a bit.
Gonna miss Mitsuya Cider, CC Lemon, and Kirin Lemon too... 🍋

I will have to try this. I've been lazy about getting a VPN after not using one for so long, but I'd better get on that!

That sounds like heaven! 1999 is a super nostalgic year for me in terms of Japanese music, so I can only imagine how great that one was.

Miwa had some way she was able to watch it on her phone from here, but NHK seems to have changed that. Booo. I know she wants to watch the show too.
(Also, here's to hoping that Perfume's hiatus really is just a hiatus and not permanent!)

Speaking of expensive things, why is the PS5 still so damn expensive? I mean, not that I have enough free time to game like I used to, but I'd like to get one some day...
If they want to keep us entertained by "bread and circuses" to avoid people revolting, they gotta keep the circuses cheap!

Huh, looked it up and Sakaguchi left in 2003, and that pretty much syncs up with when I had lost interest in new Final Fantasy games. Makes sense now!

* Photoshop / Illustrator. Despite using them for work, I've never felt as comfortable with them as other programs.
* Airbrush as in the real thing. I have one that I got as a teen, and an air compressor, but never really tried it out. I want to learn the old school techniques.

I know that feeling. I'm always a night owl / have no regular sleep schedule, but the lack of light makes it a bit more distressing.

Every year I get super tempted to cancel Amazon Prime & save some money, but my wife watches a bunch of Japanese shows on it, and I don't want to sever that link to the TV of her homeland. She is much more patient than me when it comes to ads, though! (Oh, how I loathe ads...)
