American living in Japan! I post about whatever I find interesting! I like Pokemon, tech, and j-pop.

About a year ago I started my hobby of traveling around Japan to photograph their Pokemon Manhole Collection. Here are my first, no where better to start than Machida City (Hometown of Pokemon creator, Satoshi Tajiri)

It's been 30 years of A Goofy Movie, and 31 years since we briefly lived in Paris while my dad worked on it! Truly one of the coolest things as a kid, to hang out at the studio or watch pencil tests over dinner.♥️

Also eternally grateful to mom for secreting away a bunch of original model sheets:

Recently I visited Ganryu Island in Yamaguchi Prefecture. This small island features a battle between two swordsmen. As well as two pokemon manholes on the island.

最近下関市に行って、いる内に巌流島までわたした。剣士よ戦ってる彫刻物見た。凄かった。ポケモンの蓋もある 笑

The other day, I went to a free natural outdoor hot spring near me. I ended up meeting a bunch of nice old men relaxing there.

初めて自然の温泉にした。面白くて、優しいおじいさんに出会った。

I never buy Oreos because then I'll eat the Oreos,
so instead I look in my pantry every day and I'm
disappointed that I don't have any Oreos.

I recently rewatched Matilda and I never realize how unhinged parts of it were. Like Ms. Trumbull literally throwing students dozens of feet, like what 😭

マティルダという昔アメリカの映画最近見た。すごくバカらしいよ!😂

One of my students introduced me to this Ukiyo-e piece by Utagawa Hiroshige. This feels like a video I'd see on TikTok 😂

"Donatello wanted to see what was going on outside" - turtle owner probably.

生徒がこの浮世絵に紹介した。面白いよね😂

Tried eating breakfast before work today. I feel good. Maybe I've been sleeping on this 😂

平日朝ご飯あまり食べないのに今日食べた。起きされたね。ビックリした

Beware! Could be a gateway to lasagna or, even worse, ravioli.

First day back in the office。Bolstered by the fact I've opened a new pack of coffee to give me something to look forward too

仕事戻ったね。新しいコーヒーを飲んでみた。美味しい

Let this be the year of making bad, messy, toxic, unhealthy, cringe, weird, freaky, kinky, unprofessional, ugly, amateur, silly, useless, and ultimately deeply Human things! Celebrate it all!!

More Manholes! These are in Ibusuki City, Kagoshima. A little seaside side way far at the bottom of Kyushu. Ibusuki is actually a play on words. Ibu sounds like eevee's JP name, and suki means like/love. So the joke is town's name is "we love Eevee".
